I am baaaack! Life got a little better and maybe more confusing! My brain kept working on the problem! I took my wife's Samsung and my Pixel to HER computer. Both phones behaved the same AND as expected! I plug in the Samsung (USB) and it shows up in file explorer. I plug in the Pixel...

Thanks, Laura. I tried all that. In the photos app on the Pixel, it is set to backup. I did not see anything specific to sync. In the Google account, sync is set to everything. I did find a solution. See next message.

Responding to B. Diddy... - Earlier I did disconnect the device in Windows, then reconnected the cable. No popup. The only thing I always need to select is the file transfer option. And that is a pain in the a** - Re: Google photos and drive. Going back to my first post.... I am basically...

Responding to B. Diddy - Yes, I have tried all 3 USB ports on the laptop. Remember, this works fine with the Samsung, but not the Pixel. - USB notification is set to "this device" I tried tapping "Connected device", but the phone said "couldn't switch" - Yes, in file explorer I am looking in...

I sincerely appreciate all your suggestions and help!!! I booted the Pixel in safe mode. No difference. Tried both cables. So, I go connected devices > USB > File transfer Sorry, sometimes I do abbreviate or try to simplify. I am using Windows 11 and keep up to date with...

Thanks for your replies!!! Sorry I am late...I had a busy day yesterday. I am trying with 2 USB cables. Blue and white. The blue is the "regular" one I use, and the one I used before. The white is, I believe, the one shipped with the Pixel, but not sure. I took my wife's Samsung, I plugged...

B. Thank you for the reply. I have done all that. Please let me recap/update...... I uninstalled the Link to Windows app from the phone to ensure that is not the problem. I connect the phone to the PC via a USB cord. On the phone, I select "transfer" from the USB screen. On the PC, I go to...

Generally, I am a PC centric person. I like to get things from the mobile to my PC. I am new to the Pixel 9 Pro XL. My previous phone was a Samsung A53. When I plugged in the USB cable to the A53, File Explorer would recognize it, and I could copy and paste easily. The pixel 9 has an app...

Thank you!!! I assume I used the Pixel app. I followed all their prompts and there was an app that I interacted with. I have manually set up the home screen now. Thanks!

I just got my Pixel 9 Pro XL. Kept my number and stayed with same provider (Spectrum on Verizon network) I followed all the prompts on the Pixel to copy stuff from the Samsung A53 to the Pixel. I essentially selected "everything", which should have included "settings". I assumed. I still...

Thank you! I have disabled Android Auto and I will see how it goes.

I have similar question. I read all the responses previous in this thread. As Spartacus said, it depends on your vehicles head unit and the phone. And depends on what the user needs/wants. Can you share more specifically what the value of Android Auto is and how you use it? You can minimize...

And it seems to change with updates! Thanks!

SpookDroid, thanks!!! " If you tap that (again, tap the group name, NOT the toggle!), it takes you to a screen where you can select the specific sound for it, vibration, lock screen behavior, etc." This did it!! Thank you all!

OK, did some more investigation. I followed all the suggestions. I went to app info for app Marco Polo. No option to configure in the app. I went to app Whatsapp. It had an option to configure in the app. There I was able to select a specific notifiocation sound.. Just what I was looking...
