I too, think the phone feels "magically" lighter than my Samsung Note 10+ 512 GB, even though it's supposed to be heavier. Maybe it's the distribution of components inside?

The P6P's optical in-screen fingerprint reader is working much better for me than the Note 10+'s ultrasonic one, too. I don't know if it's partly the placement of the reader (may be lower than in the Note) but I definitely more often hit it right the first time and with the screen off to start (I keep Always On disabled). I still overall prefer the back fingerprint reader of my Pixel 1, but this isn't bad.

And the software, there's no comparison. This is the main reason I came back to the Pixel from the Note 10 - that and the fact they finally made a 512 GB model. I get prompt notifications of my work (and personal) emails and chats, unlike on my Samsung.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Itaintrite:
Good to see I'm not the only one haha. The 6P def feels great in my avg size hand.

The fingerprint reader isn't just more reliable, but a little faster than on my Note 20 Ultra. I tried it again this morning.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] paysen:
Oh that's true, forgot that in my post. Weight distribution is really good, even moreso considering that camera bump. They really did a good job on that. I have a small and light case on the Pixel 6 Pro and it really helped with that slippery back. If only the power button would've been placed lower, it is a bit too high for my kinda small hands.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] ciddik.awan:
I am busy unlocking a Samsung Galaxy Watch, I am following a Youtube Video as it is not the same watch but I manage to get required files. The guy using combination file to flash and then using ADB to do some fun. it is going good on his side.

I have a question that "Empty.bin" is same for all devices or it will specific for every device. I manage to get one but not sure I am doing something correct. if this file is common for all devices than skip this and continue to the stage where I am stuck at the moment.

That guy is using a command and it is not working for my watch. He is using it for Galaxy S3 watch. Mine is different.

""adb shell dd if=/opt/usr/media/empty.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0p15"

I have used different number at the end 11-21, but I always get "permission denied" message.

any help will be appreciated.

Hi, pixel 6 pro here and I am having issues with my apps auto-updating.

1. I went to settings>auto updates at anytime is selected.

2.google play store>app info>battery>unrestricted

3. I have forced stopped>clear data>disabled> reboot>enabled

Nothing is working and I have to click manage apps>update all.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Double-check one of the particular apps that don't auto-update. On the app's page in the Play Store in the upper right corner click the 3-dot menu button. Is "Enable auto update" checked?

I just checked one of my apps at random and it wasn't checked. The app in question, at one time I didn't want it to auto-update because they were making changes I didn't like, and the setting was saved by Google across many phones and I just didn't notice. I may have other apps that I don't have set to auto-update, but I don't think there's a way to explicitly display them all (and not display ones you already have set to auto-update). I just looked at my "Pending downloads" in the Play Store and the first app listed was also set to not auto-update, so I'll just have to remember to go through each app for a while when there are apps listed here. It's definitely showing ones not updated yet that are set to auto-update as well - they just hadn't yet.

Edit: Found 3-4 more apps that were set to not auto-update including one that I don't even particularly remember using, but I might've tried a very long time ago and I definitely only recently reinstalled it. Shame you have to individually go into each one to find out how I have it set.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] breakfrecell:
Went to store now, auto update still not working. I checked three dots for the app and enable auto update was already updated but not updating itself
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] breakfrecell:
Does everyone else's auto update apps for the play store work?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Just to be clear, I don't think that apps ever auto-update just as soon as it's available. For an example like you gave, does it go for over 24 hours without auto-updating any apps?

What about the two Play Store settings "App download preference" and " Auto-update apps" below it?

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] breakfrecell:
Yes mine is the same. Also was not aware apps don't update immediately. I'll wait 24hrs and see what happens then. Ty for the response and hope u having a good weekend.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Cool. I assume they don't update immediately in case the developer pulls the update due to bugs. I have no idea what the particular logic is of when it how often is. Hopefully whatever apps are listed available for auto-update tomorrow at the same time aren't necessarily the same apps listed for you now.

You're welcome, looking forward to hearing. You're welcome and your too!

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
Out and about today and never saw 5G indicated once on my 6 Pro (BT Mobile) the speed tests i did seemed to indicate i was actualy using 5G but the indicator never flickered off 4G. Dunno whether it is a bug with the phone, the SIM card or the network.

Anyone else in the UK seeing a similar thing?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cd993:
It possibly is quite temperamental....

I'm on EE UK and had 5G when first using the phone in my bedroom. Then, perhaps only coincidentally, when my O2 number was transferred over, I was only getting 4G from then. Was only getting 4G too outside and then randomly 5G, even though I live in a good area.

I wasn't receiving a verification text from the Voi Scooter app, so tried putting my EE sim back in my old phone, which didn't help the text, but was getting strong 5G on the old phone in my room...! I reset network settings on my Pixel and then now I'm getting 5G again,, but I'm unsure if anything I'm doing is actually helping or that just perhaps signal is a little weird?!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
Ive not even seen the 5G indicator at all, earlier i did a speed test on a Pixel 6 showing 5G and and a speed test on my 6 Pro showing 4G and they both got the same result.

I tried resetting the Network Settings and it did bugger all for me sadly.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Shipoftheline:
I've not had 5G appear on mine and I was in City Centre before (Manchester) where its all over
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nekromantik:

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Shipoftheline:
Is that you saying the device has none of you've got non showing?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] StrangerWeather:
I definitely see it indicated when I'm out of the house. Not sure why you're not seeing it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kondi10:
Apparently, according to ads, I'm using UK's fastest 5G network in 3 mobile, but it probably is also the smallest because I went to central London today and was checking the phone every 2 minutes, never shown 5G in a status bar.

On the other hand I can confirm, that at least in 3 mobile I can make my phone use either 3, 4 or 5 G (I think someone mentioned that it wasn't possible in EE.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Batfink33:
I'm with 3 in the UK and my P6P regularly shows 5g obviously when in a 5g area.

Same, I see the 5g regularly when I am around my area. Look at my speedtest results they say LTE :( but i know I have seen 5G regularly.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
After a few calls to BT yesterday and being told not us Guv honest 5G started to be indicated, odd that.

Apologies, didn't realise 1pmobile was the company, thought you meant you just paid 1p for a free Pay as go SIM. 1pmobile looks interesting. Yes definitely a problem there.

May be worth those on EE just posting their carrier settings date/version. Currently the newest one seems to be dated the 25/10. In same cases it might be that the phone hasn't got the latest carrier file.

Settings -> Network and Internet -> SIMS then scroll down and check the data of Operator settings file.

If you have adaptive connectivity on in settings it will stay on 4G until you need to use 5G, to help save battery. I turned it off and 5G shows when ever available now (vodafone UK)

I'm in London on EE. Mostly in the city and Canary Wharf. 5G indicator is always present, but the couple of random speed tests I did were kinda meh. No different from 4G.

Since its introduction on the Pixel 5 with adaptive connectivity enabled the phone still indicated 5G when it was available.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rosso22:
Strange, 5G only showed for me when I turned it off. I might turn it back on as battery seems a little weak so far, but only had it 2 days so hard to tell, thanks for the info.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] PhilipL2021:
EE (and probably most other mobile operators) are using 5G in Non-standalone mode. Basically it is 4G still, which then adds 5G on the top to increase the data rate. This means you use more battery because the phone is effectively managing two radios and two connections. Unless you need the speed, 4G is better. Its not as though 5G increase coverage, because where there is 5G there has to be 4G.

Things will improve next year as EE is moving 5G to standalone mode, where it operates by itself and no longer relies on 4G in tandem, reducing battery drain and giving the lower latency etc that 5G was sold to us as having. The Pixel 6 does support 5G in standalone mode so should ready to take advantage of that.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] chrubson:
Hi,

How do you set your preferred network type? In my opinion I have a worse signal on Google Pixel 6 pro than 5. When I used Google Pixel 5 I had practically non-stop 5g, on 6 pro Internet and the signal is hopeless, which probably contributes to the fact that the battery drains very quickly.

EE , London
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
My Pixel 5 battery used to last over 40 hours with nothing turned off and at home i have absolutely crap signal, i am not convinced a blasting mobile signal makes as much difference to battery life as it once did.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
You cant on EE.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
5G also shows on my Pixel 6 Pro with it turned on :)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] PhilipL2021:
You can.

Dial *#*#4636#*#* for hidden phone menu.

Find the Set Preferred network type: Default is NR\LTE\GSM\WCDMA (NR stands for New Radio, it is what they call 5G in the industry).

Scroll up and set it to: LTE\GSM\WCDMA (PRL)

Now this will not use 5G.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] PhilipL2021:
It shouldn't do I agree. However if the modem is misbehaving, or constantly dropping a connection, each time it connects back up it will usually wake up Android with a new network context, so not only is the modem using more power to constantly reconnect back up, but also the phone is not being allowed to stay in a deep sleep (standby) state. This all adds up over hours to large battery usage.

If you find it is the modem, then there isn't much we can do as owners to fix that, except perhaps use airplane mode (not that practical a solution). So you might decide to return the phone rather than wait and see if they can fix it with a firmware update. If it isn't the modem causing it, then it points to an issue with an app on Android, which of cause is more likely to be resolved and easier for us the user to troubleshoot, not that we should!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrAmos123:
I still don't see 5G on my Pixel 6 Pro, using EE. What is everyone doing to get it working? Is it just working after a period of time?

DCNR restricted: True

Default preferred network type: NR/LTE/GSM/WCDMA
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] chistery:
You'll not get 5G if you get DCNR restricted - True. It means you can't access it.

Are you on a 5G plan?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrAmos123:
Yeah, I had 5G on my Pixel 5 before I swapped the eSIM across.

I'll double-check when I'm home if I can access 5G since at work the 5G is kinda spotty.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jaythenut:
I'm with 3 got 5g from the get go
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cd993:
I too am on EE UK and sometomee it appears and sometimes it doesn't. Read it also may have something to do with Adaptive Connectivity setting, which may be switching it off as a battery saving feature when perhaps not needed (how it decides that I'm unsure).

I've for the time being just turned it off via the *#*#4636#*#* menu to observe battery impact. Might be helping....

That's odd, I am getting DCNR restricted=True as well.. Am on EE, was using an OnePlus 9 Pro previously with full 5G in my flat (Central London) but now it's like 2 bars of 4G in the flat. Also no indication of VoLTE but voice calls are marked as "HD".

In general, I did think that the reception seems to be worse than my OnePlus.. I have them side by side, the signal strength on the P6Pro is significantly weaker than the OP9Pro.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Shipoftheline:
HD is Volte so it looks like the P6 is using that icon then

BTW I also found the signal strength was far better on my old Oneplus 8 Pro
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] elsdon:
Well hopefully that this is something software/drivers can fix and not an inherent hardware flaw. I mean, Google is using the Samsung Exynos 5123 modem and not Qualcomm so presumably the reception should be similar/as good as any of the Samsung Exynos-based phones..
