    Back to the Pixel 9PF…

    I believe it is a bit of both. I have the Pixel 9 Pro Fold but have been (lately) flipping back and forth with the Samsung S23 Ultra. There are just a few extra features that I enjoy with the S23 Ultra. I used to frequent the Mobile Nations, if you know, you know, sites quite regularly. They...

    Best method transferring data from iPhone to Samsung S22

    I've used Smart Switch before, more so when my wife upgrades her Samsung devices. The process goes pretty smoothly for the most part. Some stuff doesn't transfer over such as passwords on certain apps. She can stick with a phone for 2+ years. It's me who is the mobile phone enthusiast (to put...

    Best method transferring data from iPhone to Samsung S22

    Obviously, going from Android to Android or iOS to iOS is (typically) a simple transfer process. However, when going from one to the other can be a bit of a challenge. I am picking up a S22 Ultra later today and just curious what do you prefer when transferring data from iOS to Android or vise...

    How many switched from iPhone

    Out of curiosity, what is your experience like with Android Auto? My old vehicle (2017 F150) played better with Apple Car Play than AA. But, that has since been upgraded to a 2022 F-150.

    Having Samsung issues

    Re: Samsungs suck now I usually take complaints with a huge grain of salt as a lot of them are user related. Outside of LG, I've also had great success with all the phones (including Pixels 1 - 5) I've owned over the years. The S21 Ultra was a fantastic device. I should have kept it over the...

    Having Samsung issues

    Re: Samsungs suck now Hey Tadpoles. Yeah, the Ultra is what I am leaning towards. I really wanted to give the Pixel line one more go around with the 6, but very hesitant with the amount of complaints I've been reading about it.

    Having Samsung issues

    Re: Samsungs suck now I get it. This type of reaction is human nature. My experience with LG phones left a bad taste in my mouth and would never buy one again. Even if they were still making mobile phones. But, to completely dismiss an entire company based off someone's own personal experience...

    How many switched from iPhone

    I'm debating on whether to make the switch back to Android after using an iPhone 13 Pro as a daily driver since Christmas. First reason was to give iOS an honest effort after being away from it since the iP4. Secondly, I wanted to see the hype surrounding the Apple watch. What can I say, I am a...

    Anyone settle with the regular P6?

    Yeah, probably not the best choice of wording in the title. It does sound like a spoiled brat not getting what they wanted. More like chose the regular P6 over the 6 Pro despite the differences.

    Anyone settle with the regular P6?

    I was going to pick up a Google Pixel 6 Pro for a Christmas present, however there are none to be had through my carrier here in Canada. When I did call Bell directly, they said "we have over 400 of the regular Pixel 6's, but the 6 Pro doesn't even come up in our database. Maybe try the store...

    Which Email Client do you use on Pixels?

    I appreciate all the suggestions. As former BlackBerry and Hub user, I may check out Spark. I've tried using Hub in the past on other Android devices, but it was just a hot mess.

    Which Email Client do you use on Pixels?

    The only reason why I still use POP3 is for our Shaw (home) email account which is shared between the main computer, my wife's phone, and my phone. So, if an important email comes through and one of us opens it, the message doesn't disappear from her device or the computer and vice versa...

    Which Email Client do you use on Pixels?

    I don't know about anyone else, but the one major point of contention for me on Pixel phones is the stock email client. I absolutely hate it. It used to be BlackBerry, but now this is one area where Samsung outperforms Google, in my opinion. I have used BlueMail in the past when the Pixels 1...

    1 Day In - Very Impressed

    Tomorrow will be two weeks with the Pixel 5. I didn't get a chance with the Nexus phones, so can't comment on that, but this is by far the best Google phone I have used. My main reasons why (not limited to) are the improved video quality, 'Now Playing' picks up songs a lot quicker, and the...

    (Opinion) Would you consider the Pixel 5 a downgrade from Note 10+?

    The screen size is the biggest adjustment so far. It reminds so much of the earlier iPhones. Except better. Obviously. :cool: I usually don't have a lot of content on my devices, so storage has never been an issue for me. But, I agree it would have been nice if there was 5XL version. Oh well...
