gadgetshieldz now selling Pixel 3 skins !!
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] josetolstiy:
How many of you facing problems with the phone? I'm really contemplating buying it as I bought the OG Pixel at launch but when my phone crashed in June Google Support didn't repair my phone but did the same repairs for other Pixel owners free of cost. With the host of problems popping up everyday I'm worried I will end up throwing another 80k for nothing?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] m0h1t:
Can you elaborate on the issues you faced with the og pixel?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] josetolstiy:
I faced random reboots early this year every time I installed a new app. Wiped the phone, factory reset but issue was persistent. Decided to delete the app(LinkedIn would you believe) and the issue disappeared so I thought nothing of it even though I had called Support. Installed some other game/app in June and random reboot shut the phone down. I've shared my thoughts on the Google Product forums as well. Long story short even after multiple calls with Google support and them acknowledging the issue and even fixing it for multiple users as a free resolution in India and globally my phone would not be repaired by them for free. I couldn't get around paying 22k for a motherboard which they themselves do not give a guarantee on. In hindsight that looks like a better option now. I have been using Google phones since the Nexus 4, traded my Nexus 5 for the Pixel(recieved chocolates and a photo-op with the delivery boy for Flipkart) and still have a Nexus 7 tab. I even explicitly told Google Support that it's sad that you can't do something for a loyal customer. I guess they would rather dish out free Pixel phones to people who have a 10k following on social media. Rant aside I love the Google experience, fast updates and the camera is obviously something I miss a lot. I'm using a OP 3T right now but prefer the small form factor. Hence back to Pixel 3 but I'm pretty torn because of this experience and still on the fence about buying it.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] m0h1t:
Oh that's really bad. I've been pretty much a nexus/pixel user since the galaxy nexus days. I had the infamous mic solder issue on my og pixel. Got the board replaced twice under warranty since it was very evidently a motherboard issue. May be try a reputed third party phone repair service?

Dodgy product quality is the only reason I'm not buying the pixel 3 from US right now. they have a very tempting buy one get 50% on the second phone offer. Can't get around to spend 71k on a phone myself. Hoping the price drops in Q1 2019.

If you're around Delhi/NCR, there are one or two quality phone repair shops in Karol Bagh. Maybe give them a try.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] josetolstiy:
Thanks for sharing your suggestions, I'm from Mumbai. Don't know of any shops here that would be able to revive my Pixel, as per B2X the motherboard needs to be changed.

Google has not announced either the Pixel Stand or the Fabric Covers in India, so it's less likely to be officially available here. You may get them from Amazon Global Store though, might be costlier already.

Cast over to TV without inbuilt casting features.

Do any one mirroring pixel3 to TVs.

As now came to know that I won't be able to use miracast nor USBC to HDMI on pixel..

I don't wanna use Chromecast as wifi issues..

Any suggestions...Using basic HD TV with no inbuilt cast features..

Please advise..

Extra view from me...(as a hardcore 6P user for 2year(stock)0.5y(lineages)s with diy battery replacement never had felt as below as I m feeling with pixel3)

With such so many restrictions over pixel3(bought for wf ex-6S user) seems my s9plus seems more great n flying with many more unique features (like Spay over MST, great Screen, casting audio over 2diff bluetooth speakers, edge notifications are with flying colors, customisable always on display, Screenshot with vast possibilities, multiwindow with pinning small section over screen while you type over other place and also scroll capture extract text also many more, IRIS, and almost same camera performance other than night sight and wide selfie but have selfie gesture click and most images are more brighter than pixel3 also hyper lapse and pro mode for long exposure shot options, Obviously RAM.... and Gear S3 combination, not least SD card n headphone jack)

Slowly I m turning over to Samsung guy...Even with so much boaltware there is no lag using since 6months and I m a power user, also regarding updates also it's quite improved and by third quarter of the month we are getting security updates which is not bad with so much OS customization.. but I hate their CSC restrictions over the region to enable VOLTE and country setting for SPay..
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
Bro i bought it from eBay long time back... Its not listed now. I would suggest you gadgetshieldz....its pretty good. I have installed it.

I have used chromecast only to mirror. It works flawlessly. May i know what problems you are facing with chromecast?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] brahmajivv:
Anyway I have already ordered chromecast3 on flipkart, as no other options

I don't have wifi router, so I have been avoiding to buy this.. but searched through and seems it's works on the mobile hotspot as well during mirroring, hope it works...

How to improve sot on pixel 3 , currently I m getting 2.5 to 3 hrs sot ?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] brahmajivv:
Find attached photo of accubattery analysis of pixel 3 I m using.. its more. Of course no gaming in this mobile so it may be different, but 4G always on and mediocre usage.

I don't think you can do any thing about it ad the resolution is not changeable other than using dark modes(hardly I found a difference in dark mode so it might be be a option in pixel3), dark wallpapers, screen timeout and brightness.

However if you want try apps like pixoff you may try but they shuts off some pixels which might save some battery, but I m not using that right now used on nexus 6p but results are not that great... Of course there will be some compromise like display quality...You may use it when you want to read some news or other for long and switch off rest times...
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
Thats very less. I am getting better stats after enabling adaptive battery on December update. Although i use mostly WiFi, i get 7-8hrs of SOT with medium usage like browsing, whatsapp, Facebook, music, movies, 2hrs calls, few camera snaps .GPS is OFF.

On 4G, i get atleast 4hrs on medium to heavy usage. Camera seems to take more battery when used.

Try turning of AOD partially. It seems to drain battery too much.

[Amazfit] RobbH:
All the docs I've found say that setting image background color to #FEFE00 (254,254,0) should cause those images to be rendered with transparent background on the Bip. I'm obviously missing something, as nothing I've tried has worked. Has anyone had any success with this? If so, would you be willing to share any pointers? (I'm on Linux Mint, with Gimp installed, but have to boot to Windows to extract the Amazfit .bin files.)
[Amazfit] RobbH:
Answering my own question, in case anyone else is looking for this: first, set the background color in Gimp to FEFE00, then create a new image and set its alpha channel to FEFE00, also. Images created on this background will be displayed on the watchface with a transparent background.

Unfortunately, that does not do what I was hoping. I have a combination digital/analog watchface with a second hand and seconds in the digital display. When the minute or hour hand overlaps part of the digital display, the hand "flickers" when the display updates every second. The part of the hand that overlaps the digital display -- even the transparent parts -- blanks out when the numbers are redrawn, then reappears when the hands are redrawn.

I don't see a way around this. If anybody knows one, please share! For now, I'm using a sort of workaround: the flicker is much less noticeable if the hands are very skinny.
[Amazfit] rubylark:
Edit: I didn't see your reply to your own post before I posted, but I'll leave this up anyway.

I've only just got a Bip and have been looking at this as well. Are you using AmazfitBipTools-1.0.3.1, like is suggested on this post? As that one uses alpha channels instead of 0xFEFE00. Specifically there is a check

var isColorValid = (r == 0 || r == 0xff) && (g == 0 || g == 0xff) && (b == 0 || b == 0xff);

and any other color is filtered through a dithering tool based on the 8-color palette.

I think the conflicting references are using different .bin extracting tools. For example, AmazfitBipTools by Valeriy Mironov uses alpha channels to determine transparencies. While this collaborative Bip tool set parses 0xFEFE00 as transparent. I believe the reference I was looking at is using the latter tool rather than the former.

In my own tinkering, I've found that if you have only transparent resources, the Bip displays black. So the watch will only ever display Black, Blue, Green, Cyan, Red, Magenta, Yellow, and White.
[Amazfit] RobbH:
Thanks, rubylark! Yes, I am using that version of AmazfitBipTools. I haven't had much luck so far with the collaborative tools, but maybe I'll try again. I'm using the same reference as you, too.
[Amazfit] KoltesPunti:
Seems a little bit too complicated what you doing xD

You dont need to enter any Background color in gimp! You can even do it with Paint 3D on win 10.

Amazfitbiptools is great, nothing to need more.
