    OG Pixel Stand wireless charging issue

    I have been using my OG pixel stand since I got my pixel 3 many moons ago (and moved on since then)…used it with my iPhone X for years with the odd orange light come on. Since I’ve gotten a 13 Pro Max and almost every time I try to charge my phone the orange light comes on, not charging my...

    My Trip to Best Buy

    Played with both 6 and 6Pro today at Best Buy, wow they definitely feel premium and Android 12 its super snappy...pretty impressive how smooth and fast the whole UI experience is. I haven't used an Android since Pixel 3, since have been on my iPhone X...been back and forth jumping back to...

    1st 48 Hours with my 128GB 4XL

    Honestly never understood this complaint, while id prefer not to have Facebook on my device (bc i dont use it) you can still Disable the app to stop from working, even if it cant be uninstalled. I am certain almost every app on any Android can be disabled, this is what i did when i had my S6...

    Google Pixels are NOT Samsung or Apple

    For non power users i can see people pleased with the batter life, my regular Pixel 3 was fine for a medium user such as myself. Im sure the device is great, you will always have the techies compared specs but if that doesnt matter to the user than its a matter of preference. I have an iPhone X...

    MKBHD Review is Out. Google can NOT be happy lol

    While the phone has some drawbacks, lack of wide angle lens for me is biggest, the phone overall looks great...just expensive. in terms of android if i was to buy one this year, itd probably be the 3a XL, BUT if i saw Pixel 4 XL on sale for a great deal (in 1 month theyll start) id totally buy...

    Seems like more folks are "meh" for Pixel 4 than excited?

    Nexus 5 LOVED it, actually traded it back in day with my at time Lumia 920 (loved WP until 8.1). Tried some other androids got a Nexus 6P, was incredible until 14 months later bad updates and device issues made phone paper weight. Got an iPhone 7+, used it for 2 years and loved it but good deals...

    Seems like more folks are "meh" for Pixel 4 than excited?

    People be real the 3a/XL variant is also a culprit of the response to P4/XL...if anything Google is trying to have P4/XL target techies then theyll release a 4a/XL variant like last time. I sold my Pixel 3 for as much as i could get once the 3a was out and getting glaring reviews.

    Possible switch to Iphone 11. Thoughts?

    Meh, i sold my Pixel 3 for an iPhone X (got on clearance before they stopped selling them). I upgraded to the P3 (not XL) from an iPhone 7+ and while in terms of Android its great (ive had many androids in past), i just personally find iOS nowadays a better experience for me over android. With...

    I Was Wrong, nobody can do what Google does.

    I've been using the regular Pixel 3 since launch, i came from an iPhone 7+. As far as Android is concerned to me, Pixel 3 is an exceptional device. Sure it could have a better display from the S10, but functionality and pure Android I'd take over Samsung UI. With that said, I miss my iPhone...

    Thinking of getting s10e and selling note 9.

    Be careful going to a smaller phone, i also thought id prefer a smaller form factor at went from a iPhone 7+ to a Pixel 3 (didnt want XL, like you wanted smaller form factor) and very much regret the choice. Yes both phones have the same screen size, but the larger phone is just more comfortable...

    I Was Wrong, nobody can do what Google does.

    I had a 6P and right after 1 year of owning it (i was a late bloomer too, came in 6 months later) it had major battery problems and the bootloop issue eventually presented itself. That was enough for me to never buy another product from the company, Google supported or not.

    Turning Digital Wellbeing Off

    When I got my phone at launch AoD was a major feature I thought I'd use but came to realize for me it's annoying and raise to wake was enough. With that said I was experiencing 1% battery loss every hour overnight with AoD on. It's very possible things improved since then, for it was more a 20%...

    Turning Digital Wellbeing Off

    Ok so just to be clear there are no known issues with it being OFF...being ON caused performance issues, and turning it off improved performance. Similar to recent article on this site, so we're on same page.
