If we’re bitching about Pixels, mine is allergic to my wireless charger.
The charger works just fine with my other wireless charging devices and my previous phone. It worked fine with the Pixel for the first few months.
Around maybe March or April, wireless charging with my charging pad stopped working. I’d check periodically and after software updates just to see if that fixed anything. No luck.
Then out of the blue, I set my phone on the charger last week and it is working again.
I’m certain it’s the phone that’s the issue, since like I said previous phone and all my other devices work flawlessly.
Really makes me think switching brands was an unfortunately bad idea.
My pixel 9 seems to be allergic to Bluetooth; anyone else experiencing?
If you are talking about the static sounds when connected, its some sort of hardware issue that’s been there since the 8 and maybe still on the 10
Edit: or some crappy software stack. Priority yo go all in on AI investments I guess.
When connected my sounds are clear, it’s just the getting connected part, or handling the reconnection at the edge of range
Haven’t heard the static on latest grapheneos with A2DP hardware offload disabled on my P9P. Need to reenable A2DP to see if it comes back.
Thanks, didn’t know there was a potential workaround. I’ll give it a try since it gets a little annoying when the phone is in my pocket…
Mine is allergic to not crashing gboard every minute or so when typing too fast.
As a former gboard user I can recommend Heliboard for a free open source alternative that isn’t spyware https://f-droid.org/packages/helium314.keyboard
I tried it, no swipe, prediction isn’t that good and I couldn’t get it to be bilingual :(
It has bilingual typing, but it works a bit different from most keyboard apps. You need to add the second language as a subtype to your main one in the Languages & Layouts settings.
It also has swipe typing, but you need to download a proprietary swipe library and place it in the folder yourself. It doesn’t ship with it because it’s not open source iirc. It’s linked on the github.
The prediction really isn’t that great, yeah, but I’ll rather deal with that annoyance than use Google software.
