[Google Pixel 6 Pro] foobar66:
Well, my P6P is (almost) a year old now. I have rooted it to do a couple of customizations which I like (e.g. some overlays, override 'force dark' at boot, disable all forms of kernel debug, force 4G icon instead of LTE, repainter, hide navigation buttons using FNG for gestures in combination with Nova which works better - no white 'flashes' on some transitions ...).

I have not had a lot of issues. 2 worth mentioning:

a) Sometimes battery does not charge on USB port. I charge the phone on my chromebook (fastest), but sometimes charging does not happen. Reported it to Google. Don't know the scenario to reproduce it reliably. Rebooting the phone then resolves the problem (independent of battery level). Annoying but OK ...

b) Play systemupdates lag behind for > 1 month ... yesterday, I received the August one (we're mid September) ... no clue why this is (maybe because I use the phone in Belgium which is not an official country where it is sold). I wonder if there is a way to 'force' these.

I have fully reset my phone twice in the last year because I wanted to check if it resolved problem (b) ... but it did not ...

There is one app which detects root, I tried all of the hiding tricks but none of them works (it is an app called 'itsme' which you can use to authenticate on government websites / digital identity). If I boot the phone with the standard kernel (from fastboot) then the app works fine. Iḿ guessing the app somehow detects the Magisk mount points which are present when booting root with the patched Magisk kernel. Banking apps which detect root work OK just using Magisk's denylist.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] AlDollaz:
Love the phone. It's a dream to tinker with. My only gripe is the battery life. How does a 5000mah battery not last all day? Apps not optimized for A13? Running all the same apps as I was running on my OP8 (A11). 🤷‍♂️

But we'll see, maybe it'll stabilize...

(edit: On my 4th day, I've noticed drastic battery improvement. Guess you just gotta wear it in. :D)

Hey,

Has anyone here moved from the 4 XL to the P6P? What are you liking / not liking on the P6P compared to the 4 XL?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Misterxtc:
The only things I like better on the 4xl is the flat screen and the smaller camera footprint on the back. I will get used to both soon I'm sure. Not sure battery wise yet though, just got it yesterday.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hello00:
I received my iPhone 14 Pro Max in purple on launch date and so far I'm really satisfied with it. This is my 3rd iPhone. I will miss Android for sure. Mainly the customization. But so far big companies like Samsung are lacking many things. I was a Samsung guy for many years but I got really bored with their ugly UI and slow updates. Google needs to work on a lot of things. Hardware, features, performance, camera, and battery wise. They got a lot to do. I'll come back in a few years until something better comes along as I always do.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MINISPOON939:
I'm also considering making this switch (maybe just the Pro, the P6P/Pro Max are just too big in size for what I'd prefer). Obviously it's only been a few days, but is there anything you're missing about the P6P?

I'm losing ~22-28% battery in a 1,5h period on most days and between that, how hot the thing gets so quick/easily, and the constant bugs/software problems, knowing the battery life and overall optimisation are so much better on the iPhone are making me question it a lot. My husband has a 14 Pro Max coming in a few days to replace his OP9P and I'll probably use him as a guinea pig in the decision lmao.

I know I would miss the ability to flash custom ROMs/kernels, sideload apps, use ADB, and implement changes such as the unlimited tethering functions (though I believe there is something similar on iOS).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hello00:
I'm not missing anything about the P6P lol. I'm really happy that I'm able to use Instagram, Spotify in the car without interruption. I live in Miami, FL where pretty much there is always signal reception and I used to have a hard time with the P6P, loading pictures, websites, etc. I tried everything I could think of, and I found out that it was the old modem that Google used from Samsung. There were also some bugs and glitches on Android 13. Like for example, I had to unlock the phone first before I was able to hang up a call from WhatsApp and many other things. The camera on the P6P is horrible lol. There is no debating. I have never had any issues with Apple's ios. Their ios is so fluid and fast. I like how Apple is bringing more customizations on ios 16. I used to flash custom ROMs a lot back in the days (since HTC HD2 and Nexus days), but not anymore. I have no time for that lol. Apple's ios is already good as it is.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
The temperature in the UK has cooled right off so that's one issue fixed 😂
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Misterxtc:
Sadly my P6P is going back to Google because of random reboots. I've tried it rooted, stock, locked and unlocked all with the same result. It's a shame because I really was enjoying the camera and lack of bloat. Back to my S21U for now....
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] leafar1606:
Bought the phone on launch.

What I do like:

-UI fluidity

-Camera

-Ram management, excellent multitasking

-Nice haptics

What I don't like :

-Poor connection particularly after A13 update. Sometimes losing connection altogether, other times dropping from 4g or 5g to H+ and not reverting back even if standing under the mast. Trying to solve this last few days but no luck. Even enrolled to Beta today but does not seem to rectify. Updated today Carrier Services and ordered a new sim card just in case. Thinking about RMA or changing the phone.

-Slow charging and overheating

-Awkward position of the buttons
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
I respectfully disagree that the P6P has longest battery life. Only once since owning the phone was I able to squeeze out about 48hrs of standby and about 9hrs or so of SoT, but since then it's been in the gutter. I've never been able to replicate it since and have no idea why it even happened, but if it was like that all the time I'd be impressed.

Again, I disagree here. 5-6hrs of SoT is nothing to be happy about. That's really average / below standard compared to most flagships these days, and Apple gets way above that in the 10-13hr range. I'm a heavy user of web browsing, texting, some gaming and music, and I find I have to charge multiple times a day in order to continue to use my device. It's terrible.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rester555:
I have a P6P with Verizon. It's been decent since the update with 5G c-band and the big bugfix in June I think. In the beginning the radio handoff was not the greatest. There are times when the handoff is less than stellar on 5G and 5GUW to LTE. At those times, very rarely I change from 5G (recommended) to LTE. I get 6 hours SOT and it usually is dead by evening to night and I have to charge for tomorrow.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
You must have gooble services installed. My battery lasts 2-3 days and gives me roughly 12 hours screen on time.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] AlDollaz:
Nah, it was actually me using mobile data all day. Much better battery life when I'm on wifi.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
Do you have a screenshot to share with these numbers? I was only able to achieve this once and never again, so idk what exactly happened to pull it off.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
No, but its grapheneos and I don't install or use questionable crap. Usually I get this on weekends since commuting with wifi tethering on (for car nav) will use more of the battery.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] itch808:
I don't do anything funny like disable 5g. I have BT (need it as a key for car), GPS, and wifi on all day. AOD is always on. I also stream music via BT about 2-3hrs a day on 5g. This will drag my battery down without giving any SOT. Everyone's use is different. I'm completely happy. No issues here.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hello00:
This is my Screen time on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. With some heavy usage. Still had 23% left. Despite the iPhone 14 having a lower battery capacity. Better than my P6P and having a bigger battery.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Delboy.:
It's a very good phone. The battery isn't amazing and the signal isn't as good as other phones but I still like mine.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] itch808:
Yeah, unlikely I'll go back to iPhone. The last time I switched to Apple it messed up my normal everyday things. You can't even schedule texts to send later. iOS lacks a normal file system. Siri is terrible while Google assistant is amazing. Don't get me started on voice to text. And deep integration with Google products on Android makes everything easier for me.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] somethingsomethingroot:
This is one of the main things keeping me from a iPhone at this point. Especially if they go USB-C next year.

As for this phone, the modem is causing most of my issues. 5G signal sucks and uses so much of my battery that I just stick to LTE. Wife's iPhone on the same carrier isn't having that issue.

I've managed to avoid most of the other annoyances, and 13 seems like it's running smoother. I'm def not looking to switch to anything this year. But the signal thing can get annoying and the variance in good to bad devices is still troubling.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Birdsfan:
I decided to put my SIM in my Pixel 4 XL for the weekend and I have to say I don't miss my P6Pro that much. I hate the glossy glass back of the 6P and the curved screen that I still get accidental touches with. The matte glass on my white P4 XL feels great in my hand and I do love face id. The signal is definitely better with my 4 and the screen feels better when typing vs the hollow screen on my P6P. I'm pretty disappointed the new P7P will still be glossy back with a curved screen. I'm half ass thinking of getting a iphone pro max 14, big phone, flat screen, matte glass back, great battery, checks a lot of boxes
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] banshee28:
Looking to upgrade here... Really dislike the curved screen and I hear the P7P will have much less of a curved screen which would be manageable. Also annoyed over the recent camera overheat and screen defect, although Google was awesome in replacing the screen!! Plus the other misc upgrades.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hello00:
Honestly, on the iPhone, you don't really need a file system. Just use Google Drive to open, move and send files. And most likely Apple will go wireless for their next iPhone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Misterxtc:
After sending my defective P6P back to Google and getting one through Verizon I can say I'm happy for the most part. Everything seems to be working well besides Google One backup. I haven't had a random reboot since I got it Saturday and my connections are solid. I tried a S22 Ultra for about four days but could not justify it with a S21 Ultra sitting on my desk so I exchanged the 22 for this and traded in my old 21U today.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] danw_oz:
Phone has been crap until Sept update., where it is mostly better for me. I am wondering after so many other comments whether my phone is a lemon.

Camera is outstanding

Responsiveness is very good

Fingerprint sensor is hit and miss, and pretty slow, I especially notice this when using my Pixel 4XL face unlock, is so much faster.

Connectivity is all over the place, Bluetooth is still not 100% with random drops although not as bad as before, very slow on first connect (switch from another device) to my car and play music, if the car was the last device it is fast to connect to the car.

Mobile signal drops are absolutely garbage, constantly drops on my trip to work and home each day, where the system does not recover or takes far to long to acquire a signal again, instant if I manually turn off and on SIM or mobile data again.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] samteeee:
I haven't had a single problem with my P6P, nothing at all.

I actually think this is the best Pixel Google has ever made

And I have owned every Pixel/Nexus Google ever made including

the Nexus One(I still have it!).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Yensid eno:
So a year of use, and my overall impression is mixed but leaning towards a wasted pile of cash. Photo activity is awesome. Screen is good. Battery is decent. I am totally into untouched Android and hate other company overlays.

But using it as a phone, forget it. Constantly has crummy connection on Verizon 4g LTE (gave up on anything else as even worse in 5g) and have extensively tested against former 4a5g and spouse's 4a. I can't even guess about the number of times I have had to use the camera to help the phone figure out where it is as I try to navigate with Maps. I have traveled in same areas countless times with phones listed above and never have that problem and in fact I never new location correction with camera was a thing until my p6p. Phone has recently started to overheat in normal use. No idea what is causing that. And I am just totally frustrated I can no longer use HP software to scan documents to device, I have to use my 4a5g to do that. Fingerprint reader in back of last 3 phones worked perfectly, I can have finger on it as I pull from pocket and have phone unlocked faster than screen touch, which is not ergonomic and is horrendous on this device. I gave up and just use a pin.

I would go back to 4a5g but that has some issue where screen blanks out during a call and it just has to decide on its own when you magically reappear.

My Pixel 2XL was the best in the Pixel line and would still use that if it hadn't finally died about 2-3 years ago. Will not upgrade to 7 and won't have another Pixel until they install a world class modem chip instead of a cheap never-was-good chip. Would prefer back fingerprint reader also.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] thelostsoul89:
Ilove the phone honestly it made things alot easier for me but its honestly user preference if your used to pixel devices i suggest that you stick with pixel devices thats my take on it i used to have the nexus phones by google and the only time i strayed from googles pure devices was to buy a One plus 1 .. and guess what now im back after a brief stop to a Motorola g pure cause it was free
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] D0n Quix0te:
Holy moly. I am frustrated with my pixel 6 pro battery life. just 1 year of use and it never gives me more than 5 hours sot on full settings. poor battery life. i am a big google pixel camera fan. if it weren't for the camera i wouldn't have bought it in the first place. I really hope google gives us at least 65w fast charging in pixel 8 as i know the battery life will be mediocre again. If no 65w charging, then i am definitely switching to some other brand.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] FoneWatcher:
Nope. Power button below volumes is a deal breaker for me. Power button needs to be on top of volumes and both on the right side. If Google ever goes to power button below, I will have to switch to a different brand (obligatory threat to switch brands inserted)

Any of the above versions that do not mention specific carriers should work. The most recent one (Aug 2020) would be my choice, if I wanted to downgrade. I don't know if you will encounter any issues downgrading, though, so be sure to research that possibility thoroughly. You'll need to do a complete wipe, including data.

The Pharos is supposed to have AGPS. Do they mean QuickGPS or is there really AGPS on it? Where can I find it on the Pharos?

I have the WM6.0 Dutch version.
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
when i turn on tomtom in my house it says im in the location of the nearest gsm beacon...before i have a satellite fix, thats assisted GPS i think...

quick gps only has the trajectories of satellites in the "local" sky so the gps chip can get a fix quicker
[P3470 General] pgee:
Strange, nothing happens when I start TomTom.

Can you give me your settings in the register:

HKLM>Software>HTC>SUPL AGPS>
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
i checked but no such key

wat is the setting of your key?
[P3470 General] pgee:
Keysetting in HKLM>Software>HTC>SUPL AGPS> is:

QosPerformance 59 (89)

ServerIP 195.207.101.126

TimeBetweenFixes 1

When I first started with the Pharos there was no AGPS, also not in the registry the Supl AGPS. I found a registry-entry for the Pharos on this site and put it on the Pharos. When I start 'Advanced Config' from Schaft I can see under GPS that AGPS is enabled.

When I start TomTom 7.9 there's no start of GPRS. Also my GPRS monitor sees no action. So I presume AGPS is not working.

Maybe I need some dll drivers, I don't know. Can somebody help?
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
you have a confusing story

first you talk about GPS and then about GPRS

these are 2 different things

GPRS is your data connection (in case EDGE is not available)

GPS is global positioning system and i didnt know tomtom 7.9 was out, i use 6.

if you do a simple search on the phorum you can see that tomtom 7.9 causes a few problems i suugest you read that!

my advice would be to revert back to 6 .. works great on the pharos :)
[P3470 General] pgee:
Maybe I'm confused. I thought Assited-GPS uses GPRS to make contact with the gsm beacons and so make a faster fix with these beacons. Am I wrong about that?

The builtin GPS from the Pharos works fine but is not very fast with the first fix. I thought AGPS would help making a faster fix.

I already had TomTom 7.4 and know 7.9 (cracked version). Works fine on the Pharos. I will look for the problems with 7.9 on the forum.

Thanks
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
hmmm yeah makes sense we do need a server to relay the info... but ive looked it up

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGPS

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_devices_with_Assisted_GPS

our device is on the list... but i dont think i have a server setting... and my gps (tomtom) doesnt have to have a connection to the internet.

strange but fun to find out how it works...
[P3470 General] life02:
TomTom does not use the AGPS function. Enable quickgps to do this before you use your navigation software (TomTom). It can automatically download the satellite info for you which is good for about 2 days. You can update through your cellular connection if you have data on your plan or through activesync. TomTom 7 will work without using the AGPS function but it will take longer to find a fix on the satellites. TomTom 7 is required if you want to use the internal gps receiver with TomTom. TomTom 6 does not work without some hacks.
[P3470 General] kaloer:
I think that Google Maps do use the AGPS function. It is much faster to find the coordinates than fx TomTom and other GPS software i've tried, so i think that a program needs to be developed with use of the agps function if it uses it..
[P3470 General] poldo964:
the fast "fix" that you see with google maps it's not a gps fix... it shows you the cell radio where you are hooked
[P3470 General] kaloer:
Ohh, okay. That's the reason for the very big radius.. :) But pretty smart after all..
[Redmi Note 10] Ashraful Amin:
Hi,

My device is Redmi note 10 and it has A/B partitions. To install custom rom I have to boot the recovery rather than flashing it using "fastboot boot recovery (the recovery file)". But when I try to boot the recovery either with pc on CMD or phone with bugjaeger there's a error which says, "Cannot load "recovery" No such file or directory". Please help me resolve this issue. I really want to shift to custom rom. When I previously booted the recovery it would just boot normally. But one day my phone got bricked while installing a custom rom and as a result I had to flash MIUI fastboot ROM. This issue has started since then. Please help me resolve this issue.

Thanks.

You do either 'fastboot boot file.img' or 'fastboot flash boot file.img' then 'fastboot reboot recovery'.

It looks like it doesn't work with you.

Please document yourself before trying to flash a custom rom.

do not use bugjaeger.

Read the first post carefully.

Obviously if you try to install the twrp with "fastboot boot recovery"it won't work unless you rename it like this, best is to rename it "twrp.img"
