[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KageBeast:
So I saw that upon release the 6 pro had a lot of bugs, bad battery life, etc but I'm curious months later how is the phone? I currently have the s21 ultra but I'm considering switching to this phone just because I'm a pixel fan and I know that camera is a beast.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] avid_droid:
Yep I too confirm that I don't have the experiences others have. I've had great experience with my 6 pro and love this phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Gytole:
The first phone I had was terrible, the 2nd one I smashed in a fit of rage. Now the third one I have has been AWESOME.

I really enjoy the reliability of it. Super quick phone for my needs.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
My wife and I have loved ours all along, for closer to four months now (over 3 1/2 months). We haven't had any major issues at all, including the fingerprint readers.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] iRhyiku:
First pixel and have never had a problem, seems the issues are way overblown like every new popular device, they'll all move to the next major release for free clickbait and money
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
The P6 Pro's display is likely to be inferior to the S21U's in color rendering index and white point.

It's a problem common to all variable refresh rate displays, they are much more problematic to calibrate. Samsung is at the top of the game for doing this.

Samsung gives you countless free themes, icon packs, even virtual buttons if you want plus the Good Lock customization apps. Customization with a Samsung shouldn't be an issue.

Until something clearly better comes along I would wait however...

If you're hell bent on a P6 Pro, get it.

Life is short, enjoy it. The phone is with you most of the time.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sultan.of.swing:
If you currently have the S21U then moving to the p6p isn't really that much of an upgrade.

The p6p camera is marginally better at best.

Like previously stated above and I confirm the screen on my S21U looks way better than the p6p.

The only reason I'd recommend the p6p is if you just like pure android.

This is just my take on it.

I do own both.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] zetsumeikuro:
Despite my original P6P going bad (touch screen issues) after a month or so of owning it. With my replacement, I couldn't be happier. Battery life is great, performance is solid, and I have zero issues. The 12L Beta 3 feels like how this phone should have been at launch.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dex2grigg:
I love it, it's my first high refresh rate! Before I was using 60hz 🤩
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KageBeast:
Yeah I do know samsung has the best screens and sorry I wasn't looking for an upgrade just a change of pace really. My last phone was the s20 fe and then before that I had a oneplus phone which I really loved. I do love samsung and know their phones are fantastic but yeah I do love pure android. Thank you for your response.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KageBeast:
Thank you everyone for your reply/input! My last pixel phone was the 2xl and I've been craving to have another pixel so I may give this a shot. Like blackhawk said life is short so might as well pick what I want and not worry too much about having the best or whatever.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] enyaj:
Never had a problem with mine. I replaced my Xperia 1 lll with this and I don't regret it at all. Would have been nice of the screen was flat but all in all great phone. I installed the Whitestone dome tempered glass and it's perfect 👍
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] johninsf:
My primary P6P issue has been connectivity. I can't say it is only the modem and software. With 5G on, it is a battery vampire. However, I think constant bouncing between cell towers where I live is a contributor.

I wish I could say I haven't had other issues with the monthly updates. November was fine, however the following introduced or exacerbated ill behavior.

Bluetooth worked flawlessly until February's update.

Anyway, good luck!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] avid_droid:
P6P is awesome. I bought out my OnePlus 9($517) traded it in for $600 towards my pixel 6 pro. Sold my S21 Ultra in the process. Battery on the S21 Ultra was complete @$$. Super happy with my phone as the battery lasts a full shift of work with close to 8hr SOT. Got my wife the S22 Ultra that arrives on Monday.

Get the phone that suits you and your needs. I like simplicity and I'm tired of flashing roms to get a Pixel UI so why not just buy a Pixel haha. That's just me
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] andr68rus:
For now same bugs, just few of its:

1. Battery life is not good

2. Fast charge is not fast, because when battery temperature come to 100F charging current decreases to 0,9A

3. 5G/volte/vowifi work only in supported and few other country (volte/viwifi you can enable with root, 5g-no)

4. FoD work more good that on start, but not great.

5. No faceid

6. Signal level is less, than on Samsung in same situation.

7. AoD has no settings at all

8. For connecting 3.5 or headset you need DAC, other headset and type-c->3.5 would not work.

Absolutly no reasons to switch from Samsung S21U to Pixel 6/pro. I want to switch back to Samsung.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] joaste:
I just got mine a few days ago (256gb version from Germany as only 128gb version is available in France).

I'm a bit disappointed I must admit. I knew there was a chance of having some issues as I did a lot of research before buying, but there are a lot of people very happy so I took a chance.

I don't have any of the real bugs others do (wifi, Bluetooth disconnects,etc) so I am lucky in that respect, but the FP scanner, charging speed and battery life alone show that Google made a cheap phone, not a flagship.

Coming from a OnePlus 8, the pill is kinda hard to swallow.

I like the design and really hope the experience will improve, but I think the issues I have are hardware related so can't really be fixed (FP and old Samsung modem).

Android 12 will of course improve over time (I just reverted from 12L beta last night - wanted to see if FP and/or battery life improved with second Feb update - I can't draw any conclusions yet).

I still don't get how during 2 hours of airplane mode, the battery is showing mobile network at 36%.

The battery should improve over time
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] icanrule:
I'm having 2 main issues. My cellular signal is always dropping. I live in Winnipeg, MB, Canada. We do have 5g. My Pixel 3 xl has no trouble getting signal but this pixel 6 is terrible. I drop connection every 2 hours for about 5 minutes. As a result calls drop, and SMS don't send.

Lots of trouble with the fingerprint scanner. I get that it is slow (takes 3 seconds to unlock with my finger) but it fails 1/3 of the time and I have to put in the phone's code.

Despite these problems I am surprising satisfied with everything else. The device is fast. It gets batter battery life then my Pixel 3 XL.

Sadly because of the problems I am experiencing I still can't advise anyone get this device. Not until they fix these cellular issues. It's a phone and top priority should be reliable cellular connections.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] clipdawg05:
I dont have any bugs, never had. Only the fingerprint used to be a bit slow and my battery life was not as good as some people post online.

Everything is much better on 12L. Fingerprint is faster and now unlocks on cheap plastic screen protector. Signal seems a little worse for me on 12L, even drops to 3g sometime at my moms house(never did before) but despite that the battery life for me is much better. I get about 6hr screen on time in like 48 hours of use. (Some people post they get around 10 to 11, I dont know how)
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] choder:
I cannot recommend the Pixel 6 Pro, and I tried to like it. I have had every pixel starting with the Nexus 6P (the best was the Pixel 2XL). I had mine from October to January. Finally dumped it in January and went back to my pixel 5. The only thing I miss is the zoom on the pixel 6 pro.

-The in screen fingerprint scanner has major issues. Slow and unreliable. Yes, I tried registering fingerprints many times, deleting and reregistering fingers and even loading other Rom's. Many people say it works 9 out of 10 times. That is still horrible when you unlock your phone hundreds of times a day. My pixel 5 works all the time, even with a wet finger.

My kids used $150 OnePlus6T fingerprint sensor is so much better than this $1000 flagship.

-I had screen studders / lagging. I factory reset and loaded the most current image but still didn't fix it.

-The battery was not impressive for such a big phone with a big battery. My pixel 5 is basically the same.

-Battery died on it and I had to factory reset the phone because the in screen fingerprint wouldn't work.

Way to may issues after 3 months of the phone being released.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MArtyChubbs:
Running A12L with A13 radio and custom kernel. Phone is very snappy, decent battery life and happy with the signal. Finally enjoy the phone. I'm glad I purchased it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TheAnarchi1:
Did you get yourself into the carrier services beta? That seems to help a tad. So does the new radio included in the 12L beta. I mean nothing has helped with the mobile network drain, or at least how it's reported in battery settings, but I have had a more stable consistent connection at least.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] choder:
I tried everything with the finger print sensor on the pixel 6 pro. No screen protector. I realize the P5 is much less demanding of a phone and you raise a good point about the battery vs phone performance.

Having to factory reset the phone after a depleted battery, I believe is fixed now. It was an known issue.

Google's Pixel 6 fingerprint scanner breaks when the battery dies

Pixel 6 problems are cropping up on a weekly basis, and the latest involves the fingerprint scanner breaking when the battery dies.

bgr.com

I probably could have put up with all of the glitches if the fingerprint sensor worked for me. It worked probably 7 out of 10 times. Where as I mentioned my kids Oneplus 6T works all the time when I register my finger print with it. I spent to much time with a phone that wasn't working for me.

I too like to tinker with my device and the ability to, root, roms, etc is a must have for me. But I cannot find another good alternative. I tried the Oneplus 7T, but its camera performance was just terrible compared to the pixel.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Since OP has turned pure china and Oppo clone, has no more custom Kernel development and doesn't even bother with its newest, mediocre Flagship outside of China, you are basically out of luck. It's the same boat many others are in. Pixel phones aren't the greatest, but they are still better than the competition. Which is not a great achievement, if the competition s*cks in comparison. Imagine a 200 kg heavy man would win a race against three grandpas in theirs 90s. Even though a winner, it's not a victory. Shining when others are just plain bad is easy.

Hello everyone.

I have Rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 lite WIFI successfully, then I tried to flash the recovery with TWRP to install LineosOS, but after flashing with TWRP I can't boot the system anymore and it just turns into Download Mode with an error on the screen.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Questions & Answers] MJPollard:
One thing that you should probably know is that development of TWRP for the S6 Lite was stopped due to various issues, and the developer has no interest in resuming. If/when you get the issue with your tablet resolved, you'll have to flash and use LineageOS recovery to install LineageOS, Magisk, GApps, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Questions & Answers] vstarjewel:
Hold on....are you saying that the Lineage Recovery can be used instead of TWRP?? I was under the impression that TWRP had to be installed to use Lineage? It didnt escape me that there was a Lineage recovery file, but since everything i read insisted TWRP recovery had to be used I just kept on trying to install it (failing every time...definition of insanity).

OP.....I have soft bricked and reinstalled the stock ROM on my device literally DOZENS of times trying to install TWRP....are you absolutely sure you have the correct one for your device? Maybe the stoc ROM you have has a glitch in it? If you are positive that you have a S6 lite, wifi only, pm me and maybe i can send you a copy of my stock ROM? If i can help i will gladly pay it forward.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Questions & Answers] MJPollard:
Yup, it certainly can. LOS Recovery is pretty basic compared to TWRP, but it supports the S6 Lite's SD card as well as USB OTB and ADB sideloading. You have to flash one file at a time, though, and every time you access the card it starts at the root directory (rather than remembering the last directory you were in), but those are minor annoyances. Also, flashing Magisk will trigger a warning regarding file signing, but you can override it and it'll work just fine (just wanted to FYI this bit). I truly wish we had a fully functioning TWRP, but since we don't, LOS Recovery will have to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Questions & Answers] vstarjewel:
You are my hero! I am sending this from my tablet with a SUCCESSFULLY installed Lineage OS. I LOVE not having all the Samsung crap taking up space. I have an SD card installed and formatted but have yet to it anything on it. Question though...what would installing Magisk do to improve the tablet performance?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Questions & Answers] MJPollard:
Nothing. The main reason to install Magisk is if you were going to root your tablet. If you aren't going to do that, Magisk offers very little benefit, thus you can safely skip it.

Glad to hear you got LOS installed and running! It certainly does breathe new life into the S6 Lite.

Good day all :)

So, its been a few ions since i last used an Android device (mankind had only recently discovered fire) and i quickly loved into the Apple ecosystem. Basicly i have everything Apple except for my servers (i still LOOOOVE Linux) and i was fairly content for more then a decade until recently when Apple made several moves and choices that.. clashed (for a lack of a better word, im not native english) with my values etc.

So ive been looking into loving everything back to Linux, as Microsoft products REALLY are not an option for me :) As for my desktop i moved to Zorin, but i quickly figured out descent Linux phones are hard to come by (at least here in the Netherlands)

The truth is, once you have everything Apple, there simply isnt anything that can beat that level of integration and ease of use (this is MY opinion, not a fact ;-) And its something i really want to have on Linux/Android as well, so i am hoping to find like minded people who made the switch away from the big tech company‘s without giving up much of the inconvenience of using multiple platforms :)

My apologies for the late reply :)

i still use a laptop, but i really dream of a single device, say a phone that i can connect to a dock and have it as a main pc. Most phone hardware by now should at least be able to run basic office tasks, so i really dont understand why this isnt possible yet :)

ahh well, dreams!

Hi there,

I have a problem with my Xperia 1 (latest stock) and same with the Xperia 5 of my wife. On both phones there are SanDisk Extreme micro SD cards in use, 512gb and 256gb.

When I start the stock camera app it happens in ~50% that there is a "SD Card is not available" error, then the app force closes, and with the second try it works fine. Also it happens every few weeks that the save location setting resets itself.

Both problems are very annoying.

Any idea what could be done to solve this?
