    Android 16

    If you hadn't told me my phone updated to a new OS I'd have had no clue. It prompted me to see if I wanted to enable the battery saving stuff, but otherwise I haven't noticed anything different. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Pixel 9 Bluetooth compatibility with car Bluetooth

    I had a phone chat with google support and I'm pretty sure I knew more than the guy did. They eventually decided to send me a replacement set of Pixel Buds.

    Just got my 9xl pro

    There was a time when they made phones that didn't require cases.

    As much as I picked out the white this time I find the colors mostly pointless since everyone puts a case on that covers the color other than the very few that get a clear case.

    Anyone having earbud connection issues?

    Just downloaded it myself as well this afternoon. Hopefully it helps. Google also sent me a new set of earbuds so hopefully the combo fixes things.

    Pixel 9 Bluetooth compatibility with car Bluetooth

    Mine is, Yes. These days it at least works more than it doesn't. When I first got the phone 80% it didn't work.

    Pixel 9 Bluetooth compatibility with car Bluetooth

    I've had the problem with my Pixel 9 in two my BMW's now. The phone connects to the car just fine, Android Auto works fine, etc. But if I'd try and make or receive a call its often just completely silent or static. Its started working more frequently recently, but its clearly the phone as the...

    Anyone having earbud connection issues?

    For many years I'd been using Apple AirPods with my android phones because I liked the form factor of them with the way they just sat in your ear. When I got my Pixel 9 I started having issues where they would just randomly disconnect during a call. I even bought new Airpods but had the same...

    Pixel Buds Pro 2

    I got them and have overall been happy with them. I've been using Apple Airpods and love them, but they randomly disconnect, so I got these with the store credit google gave for buying the phone. I don't think the ambient sound is as natural as the airpods and they are a little harder to get...

    Pixel Pro XL Color

    I got the white, but I figure whatever color you get is kinda pointless because everyone puts a case on them and you generally can't see the actual color anyway. I at least got a case with a semitranslucent back, but I also never see the back of the phone so more of it kinda doesn't matter.

    Battery life isn't great

    Well looks like it must have been the Google app as it was much better last night after I deleted the cache and user data and restarted the app. Might have been even better if I hadn't had Alexa playing me sleep sounds all night.

    Battery life isn't great

    Good idea. I had a live chat with Gemini. I told her the Google app seemed to be sucking the most battery power. She suggested clearing the cache and perhaps user data so I'll give that a try and see what happens

    Battery life isn't great

    I tried that one yesterday and it didn't really get me anywhere.
