    Material 3 Expressive

    Same here on all accounts. I especially like the status bar icons and text being bolder, making the clock easier to read. I actually like the fact the At a Glance is smaller so I can now use the actual home page as my home page instead of the one to the right (I've had to do it that way for the...

    Material 3 Expressive

    Yep, I completely agree. I now see what all the hype was about.

    Nope, still not fixed. 🙁

    January update!

    Just got the update after checking for it. Hope it fixes the issue I had with the recent apps button where pressing it would show blank apps and no way to pick any of them. Then with another press, I could usually get it to work properly. This all started immediately after the A15 update...

    Alarm toggle is stuck

    What happens when you go into the clock app via the app drawer? Does that alarm show there? Also, have you rebooted your phone yet to see if that takes care of the issue?

    Wrong about my Pixel 8 Pro?

    Same here. I didn't even check out what the P9 series has to offer, because I don't care. My P8P has been fantastic for a year and has had no issues.

    Camera switch button becomes a shutter button

    Oh wow! I had no idea and of course had to try it. That's a pretty cool option if I can just remember that it's there when I need it. 😏

    Phone Overheating?

    I've never had overheating on my P8P but occasionally did on my P6P, but only when using it outside in the sun on very hot days, so not really a phone issue but just what would be expected in those conditions..

    June update released

    Mods, please move this to a more appropriate thread if there is one (couldn't find any and wasn't sure if I should start a new one). I have a discount code for $100 off the original Pixel Watch or Pixel Watch 2 and would like to pay it forward here but only to anyone who is a "Well-known...

    PSA (Pixel Snafu Advisory): June 2024 Update Battery Issue

    I haven't noticed any difference after the update on my P8P but couldn't change that setting if I wanted to since I'm on Verizon in the US. For some reason, years ago, they locked that setting out (or rather made it disappear) so we can't change it. I'd rather set it to 4G LTE and just leave it...

    Piel 6 Pro user - Upgrade to a Pixel 8 Pro, or wait for the 9Pro?

    I went from a P6P to my P8P (pre-ordered it) and couldn't be happier. I was kind of the same way with my P6P- meh. Of course, I hated the stupid curved screen (have loathed them since they came out) and thought the camera manual settings were a joke as well. The 2 main things for me...

    So how's it going, Pixel 8 fans?

    Same here, best phone for me so far as well. Absolutely love the FLAT screen and the macro camera. Those 2 features are what pushed me to get the P8P, replacing my P6P.

    Caution Regarding April Update

    This is a test on my Gboard keyboard from my P8P. Seems to work fine for me after the update, FYI. It might be a specific set of circumstances for you causing the issue. FWIW, I'm on Verizon with an unlocked phone directly from Google back in October.

    Anyone else have this weird camera issue on their Pixel 8 Pro?

    I haven't noticed it but I don't have any smart bulbs. I'm guessing it's the PWM from the LED light causing the issue. How does it look when the light is at maximum brightness? Does it change or get better or worse as you change the brightness of the bulb?
