    Finger Print Reader Unlock Performance

    Having just sent my Pixel 6 Pro back to VZW and temporarily switched to an S21 Ultra, I'm thoroughly amazed at how much faster the S21 is. Hopefully this is one of the areas Google looks to improve on the 7.

    Way too many issues, who's jumping ship once S22 Ultra launches?

    Just sent my Pixel 6 Pro back to VZW and will grab a S22 Ultra when it drops. My P6Pro dropped more conversations in one hour than my S20 did in two years. Although, that was merely the final nail in the coffin. The "Always on Display" not being "always on" was frustrating, odd app crashes...

    Pros and Cons?

    The complaint is not about the Pixel 3, it's about the Pixel 3 XL Because a small battery is sufficient for you, doesn't mean it is for everyone. And if other batteries in other phones allow people to play games and use social media as they wish, and the Pixels do not offer the same capability...

    Pixel 3 vs Galaxy S9

    As always, it's a matter of perspective. Like many, I will run Nova on any phone I buy, so "stock android" is meaningless to me. As for "faster updates", meh. That's a nice to have, but by no means a dealbreaker. Hell, I can't even recall the last time they rolled out a new feature that I simply...

    Is the Pixel 3 the 2018 Phone of the year?

    How are we proclaiming this "the phone of the year" before it even ships? Do we know that it won't have bluetooth issues? WiFi issues? Battery issues? Screen issues? Who knows what issues may be uncovered once this phone is in the hands of the general population. Before we even get out of the...

    Post homescreen screenshots taken on your Samsung Note 8!

    I'm not sure if a different launcher would be any different. It looks like you have to use Touchwiz of your Navigator looks like crap.

    I figured it out. It's because I'm using Nova. Thanks.

    I'm not looking to hide it, I'm looking for the background of the Navigation bar to be transparent. If you scroll up to amyf27 / Post #503 , you'll see that there's no background for the keys. All you see is her wallpaper. I have a grey bar behind mine. Thanks again.

    all about the Keyboard

    With Swiftkey, has anyone found a way to hide the Navigation bar while typing? Thanks.

    Question: I see that in most of the screen captures posted the Navigation Bar at the bottom appears transparent. However, I don't seem to have a transparent setting, I just have various colors when I look at the options in the Navigation Bars settings. Thanks.

    Default music player for Note 8

    Yep. PowerAmp. It sounds better and is far more customizable.

    Pixel 2 any body switching over

    There's definitely some truth to this. Tech sites are just like any other site; they need to drive traffic. And nothing drives traffic like hyperbole. That said, when multiple problems are reported with a device, it's reasonable to question build quality. I was OK with the reported issues...

    Pixel 2 any body switching over

    I actually just returned my Pixel 2 XL for a Note 8 (which arrives tomorrow). Too many problems with the Pixel 2 XL to trust that it's going to hold up for the long term. In addition to the reported problems, I found the screen less responsive to swiping gestures that my S7 Edge, and my...
