My Pixel 4XL no longer boots to home screen...it will reboot fine but gets stuck on PIXEL IS STARTING. I've tried safe mode and recovery modes but not 100% sure what to do. I want to avoid factory reset as I want to get some physical media off of the phone first. I tried connecting to a PC...

Yes, beyond the camera being frustratingly inconsistent, the Note 10+ is a fantastic phone.

I really think this is a problem with Google Assistant. I think if something gets corrupted with Google Assistant, it causes this to not work. I recently moved over to a newer Pixel 3 XL, brand new, loaded the phone as a NEW Phone and then set it back up. The photo frame has worked every time...

Exactly...I couldn't get the Note 9 to stop doing that...the Pixel 3 XL was much more natural...shame because the Note 9 is a great phone. I just prefer the camera to match the price you pay for a phone and I'm willing to give up the S-Pen and functionality of the Note 9 to get an awesome...

I tried waiting on the camera update for my Verizon Note 9...it was updated through December Update and the camera still had the same issues...sadly, sold my Note 9 and moved on to Pixel 3 XL due to the superior camera...I still use my awesome Galaxy Watch with my Pixel 3 XL. :) Subjectively...

I sold my Note 9 for the Pixel 3 XL just because the camera was just so frustrating. I exchanged my phone during that period and also duplicated the problems on my Wife's (different carrier too) Note 9. I battled blurry shots, washed out colors, view finder freezing up, camera app crashing...

I got to use both the Note 9 and Pixel 3 XL for weeks at a time...both are excellent in what they do...ultimately, settled on the Pixel 3 XL due to the consistently good camera...but using a Galaxy Watch with it as WearOS devices don't have the awesome battery life as this has...

I did another factory reset and it works again. Not sure how long it will before the photo frame stops again but there is a problem here...perhaps with AI or Google Assistant.

Those are great points...I'd love to have all of this along with the S-PEN and the screen of the Note 9. :)

I use a Galaxy Watch with the Pixel 3 XL and it works great and with Samsung Health. The only things you don't get with the Samsung Health that you do on a Samsung phone is the "Daily Briefing" and oxygen sensor.

Agreed. The camera has been a little overrated.

I have both phones and I think I can speak objectively as I truly love both phones. I love the Hardware of the Note 9 and the accessories and companion devices you can get: Duo Charging Bad, Gear 360, Galaxy Watch, Tab S4. I find the S-Pen to be extremely useful and the screen on the Note 9 is...

I agree...the value of a Samsung Phone, especially the Note 9, is excellent...and Samsung has a great accessory ecosystem. But I keep coming back to the Pixel for the camera.

I like it but the Photo Frame Slide show doesn't work for me ever...factory reset will fix it for a while and then it stops again. Google has no clue. It is frustrating...

Re: Pixel Stand Photo Frame FNot Showing Wish this worked for me...but dont't have a third party QR scanner installed. :( But this trick has merit. Someone once suggested turning off Smart Lock Trusted Devices but it didn't help. Funny, the other day, the Photo Frame kicked on but the last 9...
