It's childish to complain over and over about something that will inevitably be fixed. If you don't like the subject matter of this thread then hop off.
[General Topics] pcriz:
Some you assume and hope will be fixed. Nevermind you're applying that flawed logic with a wide brush across anyone having a problem.

Gotta love it though. Oh you shouldnt complain about the issues you are having with the phone you spent your own money on, because there are phones that you don't even own that are having problems. Well when you put it that way it makes so much sense lol.

This is a lot of whataboutism all because people value being a fanboy over being helpful in a community meant to, well be helpful.

But don't be mad at my comments. There is probably someone somewhere else being a Debby Downer about some other beloved product. After all that's the logic here.

The issue of 5G being blocked in unsupported countries by google goes back to the initial device from google with 5G, they still haven't unlocked that. They make stupid excuses for it by lying that it's the operators fault, poor Google, all brands have no problem with it, even Chinese ones, and a giant like Google can't handle it....

[General Topics] 96carboard:
You don't need the google crap installed to use google maps. It works without it.

And to be blunt, I was responding to a request FOR MY OPINION, which I gave. So do yourself a favor and keep YOUR opinion to yourself. Nobody asked for yours.

I'm shocked that this guy doesn't understand all the great features on the pixel is Google lol.
[General Topics] pcriz:
Umm. Android makes android, android. If you can't appreciate the versatility and function of android that is simply provided by the OS and what developers have accomplished on it without even considering GAPPS then I don't think you quite understand android.

Hell the fact that you can run without GAPPS is one of the most android things I can think of.

But then again am I surprised when you need to relish in the negatives of other platforms to appreciate yours? I'm not surprised btw
[General Topics] RetroTech07:
Seems like this thread has turned into "adults" crying and behaving like children over a difference of opinion. That's the whole point of these forums; share and express opinions or thoughts on different subjects, whether it's being asked of by someone or not. No one needs permission here, so let's stop with the nonsense and be respectful to everyone.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
^this^

The whole point of Android is the flexibility to use and configure it as you chose. So no opinion is wrong per se, it's user preference... it's the reason one uses Android.

Otherwise just get an iPhone.

PS, give Google that memo🤣
[General Topics] Az Biker:
Cutting edge technology will always have hiccups, bumps, and pitfalls, regardless of the manufacture. That's why it's cutting edge.

For clarification; iProducts are absolutely all about productivity, but the vast majority of users don't get them for THAT purpose.

My entire family uses Apple products SPEFICIALLY for their connectivity to their other Apple products, their productivity features, and for the ease in working across multiple Apple platforms.

The wife is an educational professional by day, and published author on the side. Both sons are professionals (one federal, and one corporate), and the daughter is an artist/musician on the side when she gets home from working full time in the pharmacy. They all depend on their multiple Apple devices to make their professional lives much easier. I'm the lone Android standout :p

Again, I agree that most Apple users, especially the teens and young adults are in it for the iFashion component of it, but for those who want to use the productivity benefits of Apple, there are plenty of them.
[General Topics] pcriz:
Turned into? Did you read the op?

OP is a buncha shared articles about other devices problems. And the op saying in all capital letters, NOW STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PIXEL.

This post is someone crying about people having an opinion/problem. Some one that got so triggered they had to post a buncha links to prove what? That the only way they can find enjoyment in their phone is to point at problems in other devices?

Whatever helps you sleep I guess but let's not pretend this post existed to present some high level of discussion. It existed because someone got their fee'fees hurt. They didn't suggest a better way to approach repeat problems. They didn't offer help or a solution. They just want them to shut up.

So yeah, demanding people shut up, and imply their problems aren't important because well all devices suck isn't respecting anyone. People on the thread calling folks with issues idiots, isn't respecting anyone.

And in the spirit of any forum post ever based solely on opinion and conjecture there will be people that disagree. So yeah, seems to playing out as expected.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
I never saw a better experience with my work iPhone. The UI was endlessly irritating because of lack of customization at that time.

However the one thing I did notice was how much better the iPhone's map app was.

This has got to be the most pathetic thing I've seen you post. Apple Maps better than Gmaps? What drug did you inject yourself with to think that? I've had Apple maps on numerous occasions (whenever my ex gf would tether her iPhone in my car when I'm with her or any of my nieces)...instruct me to turn the WRONG WAY down a one way street. Never had that happen with GMaps or even Windows Maps back in the Windows Phone days.
[General Topics] prohibido_por_la_ley:
Nobody asked for yours either. Where's your tinfoil hat btw?

I don't need to relish in the negatives of other platforms to enjoy mine. I already know it's good, but you got people on here acting like this is the worst phone ever. I'm simply trying to say that is not the case.
[General Topics] pcriz:
No one said it's the worst phone ever. You're being dramatic to make your point more valid.

And frankly. If they paid money for it it's well within their right to have an opinion on what they paid for, complaining about complainers is a zero sum game. No one is going to be like man bro you opened my eyes. My phone is now perfect.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
It's not my problem you can't read street signs.

I did data collection for weeks on end using a proprietary Apple map based app. Thousands of locations in cities and in remote areas, some on barely passable dirt roads.

You can't even navigate a one way street it seems. Good luck.
[General Topics] mac796:
I have to agree. I've tried Apple maps on my work phone. They're horrible. But maybe they got better. I haven't tried it in a while
[General Topics] blackhawk:
I used them in 2015 but it was GPS way points.

The roads lined up pretty well, sometimes I went to satellite image. It worked well.

Any map app will glitch addresses.

I've seen horrible glitches on Gmaps more than once and Garmin for that matter.

You need to use common sense and sometimes phone someone for directions🤣

Gmaps can find any hotel but the commercial orientation of it and it's obnoxious UI is an accident (literally) waiting to happen. Garmin is better.

I used paper maps long before GPS to go thousands of miles and to locations in towns and cities🤣
[General Topics] mac796:
I used paper maps for years but I love the Google maps. I'm in a busy area and the traffic deal works awesome. Hardly ever lets me down

Thread has been re-opened but as the OP clearly shows the thread is not related to the Google Pixel 6 Pro. I've moved the thread to General Topics to allow further discussions.

Talking about discussions: While we encourage vivid and intensive discussions, exchange of opinions and experiences, sharing of knowledge I'm surprised how fast slight aggressiveness finds its way into discussion. I hope we can all agree that we all have different views that all should be approached with respect. Let's discuss those views but let's keep aggressions and personal attacks out of your statements; latter really don't add any value.

I firmly believe that besides our education the XDA Forum Rules provide a good tool for a respectful interaction:

My recommendation and actual request are to check the content of a post against above before hitting the "Post reply" button. And if you post, please don't be surprised if somebody replies to your post. Having said all above, I slightly edited one post and have deleted two posts due to disrespect and personal attack.

No but you do if you're accusing Google of being spyware.

Amazing what lengths you'd go through to defend your Apple Maps. Minor or not, it shouldn't have happened to begin with. Not to mention the redirect loop it put me into when I got into the express lanes on the expressway. Google Maps doesn't do that.

Hi,

Would it be possible somehow to install more/new language packs for our smartwatch?

I like Gboard because its swype typing method is quite precise in my native language, Hungarian and the speech to text feature also works well. But the Wear OS version - although it has 29 different language packs - has no Hungarian. (And I know that Greeks are also craying because of the lack of their language support.)

So it would be very nice to have more downloadable languages -- mainly Hungarian in my case :)

Please, help us; those who don't belong to a wider language community...

Hi guys,

I love google lens - but since a few versions it includes some sort of new gallery view of pictures on your device.

Unfortunately, it also shows pictures out of hidden folders which is really crazy! I have some hidden stuff which ppl, looking at my phone, shall not see.

Any way to disable the new Gallery View, so when opening up the App, it shall simply show the preview of the camera... If I really need to scan a picture on my phone, I can share it using the Android Share menu to Google Lens, which happens so damn rarely.

Thanks!

:confused:

I installed a new flex cable in my TytnII a couple of days ago and now my SD card is not showing up in file explorer. I thought it was a defective cable for sure, but I have read posts in other forums about potential driver or registry issues.

The SD card worked fine before i changed the flex cable, and the card itself still tests fine in other machines.

Any ideas?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DarkVillain:
Re-tried the old cable?

Have you tried using the old cable again? or was it permanently damaged? If you can, I would give that a shot first, then see if you still have the same problem. Otherwise, a second newer cable would be the only other way to rule out the new part.

Does the card work in another kaiser?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] balsack:
The old cable still recognizes the card. So the card and the rest of the phone are both fine. It's just with this new cable.

For a normal handphone (nokia for example), when the phone is connected to a bluetooth earphone, all sound will be redirected to the earphone. This include sound produces by the menu.

For Windows Mobile, it isn't so. Only the phone calls get redirected. It has something to do with how Microsoft implements the sound mechanism. If I'm not mistaken, the phone calls sound and the normal sound playback mechanism are seperated.

Please guide me all process.

[General Questions and Answers] ZortosX:
Hi

In order to change rom (= flash a new rom), you need a custom recovery (like twrp).

The issue is that, in twrp's official website, the only vivo model supported is the Vivo Y51L (pd1510).

In general, flashing a custom rom is safe, but, in some cases, if you don't follow well the instructions, you can brick your device (= making it impossible to use) or bootloop it (= your device just reboots over and over), which is SOMETIMES fixable.

I hope you understood :)

my english is not perfect ;)
[General Questions and Answers] ZortosX:
You'll also need to unlock the bootloader (if you ever find a custom recovery), which is going to wipe all your data (= factory reset)

I have noticed a difference between the battery icon on the top bar and the battery icon on the Phone UI! When battery power drains to somewhere @ 15-20%, what both icons represent is unidentical!

One could show more battery bars than the other which is confusing! I tried adjusting the BatteryIconLevel string, but it couldn't work properly.

Is this normal?

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] venom037:
SPB Phone Suite's battery meter is also different from the battery meter at the top also..... my guess is that this might be due to the settings set differently on both battery meters ie % before alarm sounds, or % before it shuts down.....

my guess only so if this sounds stupid, then it probly does but still.... only a guess.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dzign-it:
Hi

I see a few threads of people developing an appstore alike program for the diamonds and other devices.

They all seem a lil bit too over the top. So, iv begun an online AppStore clone. No windows coding, no programs, just an online website, optimised for diamonds (to begin with) that lists apps by genre.

This way, developers can upload thier own apps, the website can host them, people can subscribe to the apps and recieve updates when the developer adds new files etc.

Iv even started playing with notifying subscribers via SMS when a new program becomes available from a developer.

As opera is so good, flick scrolling, fullscreen, etc, an optimised webpage should pretty much be able to do alot, if not all, of the things any windows program can do and would involve no installs and be very lightwieght..

So before, i go too far into this thing, id love to know your thoughts on this, is it worth developing further?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Astelan:
Hello all, this is my first message here in XDA. Well met!

I have a Note 20 Ultra 5G (Model N986B) and it is not getting any firmware updates. It is stuck at Android 10 & One UI 2.5, security patch August 2020. I guess it never received any updates since the day I received it. Checking for updates informs me my phone has the latest software.

The firmware currently running is N986BXXU1ATH3

I live in Turkey and normally this 5G model is not available here. Note 20 Ultra (sans 5G) is sold here. So I suspect that may be the problem.

Trying with or without a SIM card, another SIM card, even trying via VPN connection to another country does not solve the problem. I even tried my UK based SIM card, with no success.

PC connection via Smart Switch also did not solve the problem.

I'm considering pushing a firmware using ODIN, but before trying that I'd like to ask your insight on my situation.

Best regards, Astelan
