I decided to try the GCAM project which uses the Pixel camera app on non-Pixel phones. Overall it improves the Moto Razr photos. I made a video which shows some comparison photos with the Moto camera app vs the Pixel camera on the Razr 2024. The video will also show you how to sideload the...

Ok problem solved, for some reason Contacts+ now requires itself to be the default phone app. I no longer can make calls using Contacts+ unless it's the default dialer. So that sucks!

It also removed the option to pre-screen calls. That was a really nice feature.

Ok but reporting stuff to Google is the duration test of time before they fix anything. Is there another dialer I can install to merge calls?

My Pixel XL stock dialer got updated this past week. You no longer drag the green button, you just press it to answer a call. But the big issue, there is no way to make/merge calls for conference usage.

I finally decided to sit down today and figure this issue out. This is an old bug, I had the exact same problem with Marshmallow and my Nexus 6P. It is related to Do Not Disturb. So here's what I did to fix it. I sent a text to my phone and no sound came. Rebooted, sent another text and it...

I have the same issue with my Pixel XL. Stock Android and I have to reboot the phone constantly to get the sounds back for ringing and texting. It's been going on since December and as usual Google ignores the problem.

These settings worked for me Q's Tech Spot: Cricket Wireless APN settings when MMS is not working

I uninstalled the update and locked out the auto update for the phone app. That solved the problem. I'm going to assume Google will not be fixing this anytime soon.

I found my Pixel 1 XL will not wake up for an incoming call. I have to use the finger print sensor to unlock the phone to answer the call. I also cannot see who's calling me until I unlock the phone. I found the same issue on the Pixel 2 forums...

I'm having the same issue with my Pixel 1 XL phone

There is a large discussion about this on the Google Home forum. It does not work for content you have uploaded unless you use a playlist. If you say "Hey Google play xyz from my library" you will be directed to a radio mix. Some have stated the metadata in your uploaded music is bad, I for...

I got 8.1 last night. My Cowin E7, Senso 250 airbuds, Commando Plus Shark all do not show the battery level. I'm not convinced this is working at all.
