Really? Damn. I"m kind of shocked that it would work on a Pixel 5, but not a Pixel 4A 5G though. That is odd to me...

I am going to try again.

You know, I know it doesn't work in Chrome, but I wonder if you previously tried it in an app that doesn't support it?

See, now, that's interesting! I'm in granted, dark mode is still visually easier on the eyes though.

I literally just got the notification from Tapatalk on your response. 3 hours later.

Just thought of something. Go into the app permissions and make sure you don't have manage battery usage "Restricted" checked. See screenshot.

Very very good point and very good idea!

Yeah, everything on my phone is basically optimized. Oddly enough, my notifications have seemed to have caught up. I'm getting them within minutes now.

That's great. Some issues are just a mystery, and the fix even more so.

Possibly. Can't remember which app though

Haha yeah, copied most of them but here are a couple of newer ones that they haven’t posted. Oh well for now, I went back to a few different car wallpapers for myself. Some of them just it soo boring for me to use, that’s why. :-(

Hey l, so I just wanted to share this with everyone... I'm very anal about fingerprint smudges on my touch screen as I'm sure many of us here are and I hate using screen protectors cuz I think they just look bad on the phone. So for a while I want to order this off Amazon and I finally did. It's called Smitty's glass wax. I saw it from a prominent Android channel on YouTube. So for 12 bucks I gave it a shot. I put about three coats down on my phone last night. And so far it's pretty good. It doesn't prevent fingerprint smudges completely, but the few that go on the screen, is very very easy to buff out with your shirt or something very soft like a microfiber towel. They suggest you put a few doubles of it on your touch screen wipe it all over your screen with your finger and then buff it out with the soft towel they provide with you in the bag. So far it's not bad I just want to share this with everyone! It's basically a slick surface to replace the oleophobic coating that can wear out over time on your touch screen obviously.

Wow no screen protector that's risky but at the same time I know what you mean that it almost ruins the screen. What about case do you use a case which one? Does the product make the screen slippery?

 

[Kizzy Catwoman]

That sounds like a great product.

I never use a screen protector. I find them cumbersome and horrible. I just try to look after my phones and I don’t tend to scratch my screens.

On some of my older Android phones, I used to use screen protectors, but there really are cumbersome to use. And the tempered glass screen protectors although they're very nice, they're very expensive too they're like 40 to 60 bucks for one. And they really do mess up the look of the phone from the front. The case I'm using is the minimal frosted black case with my marques brownlee red dbrand skin. It makes the screen slipperier than normal. You still see light fingerprints, but it's not as bad as without the wax if that makes sense. I'm just so damn anal about fingerprints that I was trying to find a product to use to either replace the oleophobic coating on the screen, or just try to prevent that many fingerprints if that makes sense to you. I still sometimes think back to the old blackberry days when we had physical keyboards and you didn't have as many touch screen devices but things were different back then and smartphones we're built way differently.

Last week, in my garage, I was so pissed my phone fell out of my gym shorts pocket which is really loose and it's not really secure, it face planted on my garage tile and I got two or three light scratches on my screen. There's no real way to repair the scratches, but that got me thinking about the glass wax just for a slippery or surface. And so far it's helping. Like I said, I put three coats down on it this morning and so far I really do like it. It takes a couple of minutes to apply and buff out.
