I use this fairly frequently to move files/media to and from my PC to my Pixel 4a. I drop the files on a thumb drive on my PC, disconnect it, plug the thumb drive into the quick switch adapter (it's got a USB-A connector on one end, and USB-C on the other) then put it into my Pixel. Works like...

Here are a couple of photos of a house that I took on my 4a while out checking out the Christmas lights last week. First one is without Night Sight, second one is. It was pretty bright to begin with so night sight didn't really make a HUGE difference. I do still love the Pixel camera though...

My OG Pixel XL supported exFAT, the Pixel 4a does not. I tested this tonight, your drive must be formatted as FAT32 in order for the Pixel 4a to read it.

I've had my 4a for a little over a week, fairly heavy use and I've been on the phone (usually listening on conference calls) with general browsing and the odd game. I'm impressed, not a stutter. I would suggest a factory reset of your phone and see if the problem persists. If it does then I...

I noticed this too. It felt just like I had cleaned it. Then I put on my tempered glass screen protector and it's slick again.

Depending on your version of Android, the steps may be slightly different: Go to APPS Find Chrome Tap the three dots at the top right "Uninstall Updates" If you don't have the three dots, tap on "disable". Android will whine about "oh disabling will cause problems" - OK It should then ask if...

This is from Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/siriusxm/comments/9b9bjp/how_much_data_does_your_app_use/ There are three settings for quality: Maximum = 320kbps or ~ 140MB/hr High = 160kbps or ~ 70MB/hr Normal = 128kbps or ~ 56MB/hr You can also see in your mobile data the amount per app. Let...

I have not rooted a phone in 5 years. I just haven't had the need to.

I am so happy that Google has decided to release the Q Beta for us still rocking the original Pixel and Pixel XL. I am heading out of the country on vacation this weekend, so I naturally have NOT loaded the beta to my phone because I want it to work with zero issues. Has anyone that's loaded...

I would wager that it has to do with the additional security settings in Pie. What music app are you using? Try uninstalling that app, then reinstalling. It should then ask you to approve the required security to access your SD Card. If it does not, then reach out to the app developer and open...

Check your sync settings. Make sure your contacts are syncing.

Welcome to Android Central. Let's start by asking first - what phone are you using, and where are you located? Many cheaper devices in the world come with lots of various adware (and spyware?) to allow for the cheaper price. It is entirely possible that it is nothing you are doing...

What phone are you using? I've got the OG Pixel XL and mine is still dark.

I never turn off my BT or NFC. I get a full day easily from mine.

I wouldn't think of using a naked phone. Get yourself a LifeProof case. It's watertight and looks good. You can still get one on Amazon too.
