I was reading a review the other day... So, the P7 is essentially *identical* to the P6 in every respect other than returning to the rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and a slightly improved camera that nevertheless loses some the the P6 camera's functionality. For sure, I will be sticking with...

Fwiw, I'm now on the QPR update that was released two days ago (or, was it yesterday?).

I don't disagree, but Apple has managed to include wireless charging, no? Indeed, maybe Apple has a patent on it...

Proprietary charging systems seem to be pretty common across the smartwatch continuum. That's just the way it is...

So, as I am working from home today, I was lazing about in bed this morning, putzing with my phone, when I looked up and realized that I once again was showing no service. This time, I recalled that I have this app on my phone. After reviewing the current status, I used the app's "Refresh...

Just want to come back to say that it may indeed be coincidence, as I have found that the infotainment system is sometimes locked up immediately after starting the engine even before I have connected the phone. I'm trying to rule out various possibilities, for example, perhaps an issue with the...

These last few mornings, I pick up my Pixel 6 Pro and find that the WiFi connection is solid, but the cellular is showing No Service. Tried flipping airplane mode on and off - WiFi comes back quickly but still No Service. Restart phone and now comes back with 50-60% bars on cellular which is...

Lol. No, it sure isn't.

Ah! I was browsing settings yesterday and decided to enable data saver just to see what impact it might have. [emoji2]

Just left of the WiFi symbol. I don't recall ever seeing it before and, if I pull down, there is nothing that would explain it. Pixel 6 Pro with Android 13 and QPR1.

All flagship phones these days are some variation of great. Great cameras, great connectivity, great screens, CPUs and RAM that are more than fast enough for just about any use other than perhaps hard-core gaming. That being the case, in the absence of screen or other damage, there seems...

Which OS version are you on? If Android 13, have you installed the QPR1 update yet? QPR1 seems to have fixed my charging problems.

The last few days - pretty much since installing QPR1 on my Pixel 6 Pro, I have had weird issues with my 2017 VW Passat infotainment system. Some minutes after connecting my phone via USB (defaults to Waze, if it matters), I find that the system is totally locked up. I cannot change stations...

This is what people mean when they worry about being "locked in". Fully wiping and then rebuilding a phone is not an easy task. And, having been there before, you cannot simply restore an online backup because the "older" OS that you have now installed will not recognize the backup that was...

I'm not certain, but I think the answer is yes, you will be locked in. Of course, you always have the option to wipe your device and revert to the stock OS .
