Got my new Oneplus 9 phone yesterday and I really like it. However, I can't receive incoming calls on it. I can call out, receive and send texts, but when someone calls me, I can see the incoming call, but I can't answer it. Fi tech support tried troubleshooting it and couldn't get it to work...

I've read several times about ideally charging your batter once its gets no lower than 40% up to 80%, so that is stays generally healthy. With the technology in chargers now, where they wont damage your battery if you leave it plugged in, is it now ok to charge the battery up to near 100% and...

ok thanks. Im just curious, why is 40% the drop dead point and why does it hurt your battery in the long run to drain it past 40%? Just wondering if there is anything proven on this?

The battery on this phone is outstanding. I'll leave it at that. With the new technology in batteries, is it still advisable to charge it to only 80%, and when it gets down to 40/35% charge it back to only 80%? OR will it degrade the battery faster by charging to 100?

Another great thing I noticed was "screen attention" setting. My Pixel 3 XL was running android 11 and didnt have this feature, so I guess its native to later pixels? I love the screen not going dark after a minute of timeout. I realize i could set the timeout longer but this way I dont have to!

I was wondering about other people's reaction to the screen size too. My wife and I got one and we both came from a Pixel 3 XL. The size difference is definitely recognizable, but I think I'm adjusting to it because I dont feel I miss it too much. Like another poster said, maybe we're so used to...

I have been using a pixel 3 xl for a couple years now and was wondering how many of you use a launcher instead of the pixel launcher? I mean I love the news feed when i swipe right, but is there a 3rd party one that can integrate most of the pixel launcher stuff plus other things? Guess im...

TP Link AC 750

First time using one of these. To take advantage of the extender capabilities, you have to connect to the 5ghz or 2.4 GH Ext babe correct? I though it simply made the existing bands have a longer range. Sorry for the probably dumb question

I am having serious issues with my pixel 3xl 5ghz band. My laptop and wife's phones both work fine where my phone jumps to connect to the 2.4 network because of signal strength. Tried restarting the modem, calling provider, everything but I think it's my particular phone. Any ideas? Signal...

I'm using a pixel 3xl and haven't historically used an antivirus. Do you think I should be using one, and if so which is the best that won't slow down my phone?

Just recently noticed my Signal Spy widget isnt updating properly. When widgets dont update, is it generally their issue (the app developer) or is something in my android pie settings preventing it from updating? I turned off smart battery, gave it permissions it requested, etc. Are there other...

Im looking for a Wifi app that has a good wifi widget. All i want is something that shows the network its on, speed, and signal strength, like a 2x1 size widget. I was using Wifi Overview 360 but the widget doesn't update. Anyone have a good recommendation?

I've been reading about the relatively new setting for us Google Fi users in regard to enabling the "enhance network" option in settings to basically turn on Google VPN for cell/mobile data. Are the majority of people turning this on? Does the benefit outweigh the extra data useage (over 1 day...
