I couldn't care less about gaming on my phone 😂
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Linuxkek:
Me 2 but I would never buy a "flasgship" with SoC from 2y ago. Its like Samsung release a S23 Ultra with a Snapdragon 888... nope, no way
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
We get it. A million times over. You don't like it and you won't buy it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Linuxkek:
Sure, I wait for the first reviews. Its disgusting :(

Nice argument btw 👍🤣
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ejjskakejdndnnxnawjjd:
Demensity 9000 uses the same mali g710 though??
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
Genshin isn't GPU heavy game at all. It relies on the CPU A LOT, and as you can see, G2 sucks in that department, it's not efficient at all, especially with 2x X1 cores, and it throttles really fast.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mikebb00:
I don't trust tests like this, the Tensor Processor is based/made by Samsung from the Exynos Processor which is usually faster than the updated SnapDragon Processor Line (History Results). Tensor CPU is NOT a new processor whatsoever and has zero issues playing any of the latest FPS or Racing games.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nettwerk:
Pixel phone isn't about performance. It is about features what you get with Pixel phone. Tensor G2 is about AI. It is shame to blame Google for this. Did they mention pixel does it faster then rest of devices in the Google I/O. And who is Golden Reviewer. Anyone knows? I don't and I'm not interested.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Linuxkek:
He test all SoC's and compare them for last few years. Maybe you don't like it but he shows how weak the Tensor really is.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nettwerk:
As I said latest Pixel 6/7 series isn't gaming performance phones. It is about features and AI.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I would put forth this analogy that the situation is akin to; I would look at it in comparison to the highest horsepowered car in the world with its 5000hp Devel Sixteen (I don't really know anything about cars, just result from google) to an F1 1000hp car -- even though the Devel Sixteen has lot higher (beefier) of specs (the Apple, Snapdragon, Dimensity), in a tight windy course with little to no straightaways, the F1 with it's comparatively severely lowered specs (Tensor 2) would still perform or outperform as much as the Devel Sixteen.

My point is comparing the two (particularly in horsepower) on straightaways (as in high GPU games for mobile phones) is different than comparing the two on a course with tight curves (as in AI and algorithmic processes). It's not to take away that the F1 might be considered subpar when put up with those kind of specs or under particular conditions, but the same can be said for a high spec car when put under condition its not tailored for as well... Not all cars can or should be compared to how well they perform outright on a straightaway and how much horsepower they could produce on a dynamometer (mobile gaming)....

And for those of us who live in cities (non-mobile gamers) where we wouldn't necessarily need a car that can go max 348mph where there are not much straightaways on city streets anyways, we might be just as much happy or happier with a more lightweight car that uses less gas (AI features); it doesn't mean either car can't get us where we need to go or one car or the other is that much lacking when put into a city setting...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bs3pro:
While i do wish google stuck with a QUALCOMM chip, this tensor chip works perfectly fine for EVERYTHING, other than gaming. I don't game, so its a moot point. I dont get all the biatching about the tensor. Just get a different phone if you need to game.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
It's not only about RAW performance, but also about efficiency (power consumption/performance ratio). And Tensor absolutely sucks at that. It consumes power like the 888 but for less RAW performance.

I understand that you need to justify somehow the phone you bought, but factually speaking, Tensor is nothing special and it's neither efficient. Just a great hype behind it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] blackspp:
What does it matter for the average user? And most of us are just that. I think. At least I am.

I'm not running any linear algebra with quantum amplitudes simulations nor trying to get ResNeXt running.

I came from a very fast and smooth operating Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and the p7p runs exactly the same. Or it feels the same anyway, even though it should be faster according to the benchmarks. I only switched because I pass the Note on to my wife and I like the upgrade path to the couple of Android releases.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Tracker31:
you have got with phone montly software update, clear factory android experience, best camera software on the market + social app integration with camera app and 2020+ hardware speed with optimized cores on soc and thats awesome for me + excellent and unique design. Thats from me. I don't care for scores in benchmarks I am interest in battery life and temperature running state.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
If you're really that interested in Battery life and "temperature running state" you wouldn't talk about tensor so nicely. Because neither of those you mentioned is actually "superior" compared to for example a Snapdragon SOC. G2 running 2x X1 Cores, the most inefficient cores in the SOC, sucking the power and heating pretty fast even under low workloads. Seems like you need to do some research when you talk about efficiency, power consumption, and thermals when it comes to ANYTHING Samsung-made, that includes Tensor (Exynos).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
It's fine for gaming too, you just can't crank the settings to the absolute max. Golden Reviewer maxed out the game and inverted the stock efficiency curve so that he could make a clickbait video to make fanboys go crazy.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nettwerk:
Interesting to see who is in the benchmark. I'm for RAW android expierence, pixel features. For me doesn't matter it is like from 2020 or 2022. If I want for benchmark then iPhone.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] lil_kujo:
Agreed, not only that but from the first post of genshin impact the difference between the temperature and fps I can't really see a big difference. Like look at the galaxy flip with a sd8 has lower fps and higher temperatures than the tensor 2. I have tested my vs ally other phones and you can't really see the difference. So it's more a a empty discussion since the matter of the fact is that ok a daily basis you won't notice the difference at all. And it agree with the user that assert that the experience is better than just raw power. The features offer by Google by far are better than many other oems.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ejjskakejdndnnxnawjjd:
The demensity uses the same mali G710 so? And the A15 and A16 are way more powerful than SD, so stop your yapping and go buy an iPhone, this is not a gaming phone, it's AI focused which delivers, the AI on pixels are far better than any other phone, go buy a pc if you wanna game, it's a phone chill
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ejjskakejdndnnxnawjjd:
Huhhhhh my numbers are bigger than your numbers, shh, it plays well in games and doesn't over heat like at all, so grow up and stop bench marking it means fa
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
A15 and A16 are more powerful only in CPU. Adreno A740 literally ****s on Apple's GPU currently.

Ordered mine yesterday rep said it should be here by Dec. 1... Paid the same price I had paid before for the black one... Just wanted to let you guys know... If someone said this before feel free to flame me lol :p
[G1 General] donutman:
So you bought two or did they let you return the black one?
[G1 General] FtZ:
I returned my black one but when I did, I was still in the 2 week trial period.

Im actually regretting it now. After a little more research I find out that the white g1 in the US is not going to have a silver keyboard but instead its going to have the same keyboard as the bronze one... the UK version is perfect why would they change it? Well if its mugg ill just send it back -_-'.... again.

They are the same phone mate just taken from a different angle, we have a few white ones here. They are identical to the US ones ;)

My roomate just got the white one, it is pretty cool, cept in some types of lighting it is hard to see the keyboard.

So can you guys confirm that its silver and not tan? and that its so much sexier than all the other colors because that's what i want to hear lol

[G1 General] Audiofreq:
Yeah my dad has a white one...the keys are hard to see when the backlight is on and it's light in the room...
[G1 General] Iceucold:
Question for all those with the white version in the US, does it come with the standard version of RC30 already active?
[G1 General] FtZ:
Just got it. It looks alright but the keyboard is unusable in the light. Will be returning it back...again. It comes with RC29. I did find a little surprise in the box a 3.5mm headphone adapter. I guess the new g1's are being shipped with those.
[G1 General] Ryanmo5:
Strange why they would come with rc29 and not 30...
[G1 General] ranger7424:
They were probly shipped just before the RC30 update came out.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] alviani9:
sorry but this smartphone the rog phone 6 pro already has the film pre applied on the screen?
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Yudiyuyu:
You can remove that. It's just to protect the screen itself from being scratched. It isn't a screen protector so you don't have to worry abut it cracking either.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] nadejo:
he is asking if there is a screenpro preinstalled... the answer is "no"
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Yudiyuyu:
My bad. I'd never heard of a screen protector being called a film but yes it does not have a screen protector pre applied.
[General Questions and Answers] OhioGuy12:
Does anyone know of a way to boot an Android phone from an SD card or USB drive? I'd prefer not to root the device or do much modification, but I might if I have to. There's got to be a way, though!

[General Questions and Answers] ze7zez:
Such capabilities are provided by TV Boxes and only selected software n.e.g. EmuELEC or CoreELEC. In phones it is not accepted, because they are used for something else.
[General Questions and Answers] OhioGuy12:
Particularly, I'd like to boot Kali Linux. Their site has images for Android devices and also for ARM powered decides (I'm assuming this device has an ARM processor, but I didn't check).
[General Questions and Answers] ze7zez:
It doesn't work like that, if you have ARM support you'll run on the phone. Kali Nethunter installs on android, not as a standalone system.
[General Questions and Answers] OhioGuy12:
I was assuming nethunter was a bootable OS. So that clears that up.

How do these devices boot? What type of memory do they have? Are they partitioned, like one for the bootloader/recovery & one for the OS? Upon powering up, what software does the device access first?

Is there any way to swap back and recent buttons for our P7Pro?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] schmeggy929:
Honestly I was going through settings trying to find the back, home and recent buttons. I decided to try it without for a day. I got used to the swipe up to exit app and right or left swipe to go back. I don't miss those buttons.

AWESOME, thank you!

I also have 15 years of "right-side back" repetitive habituation and I'm not about to try to break it.

I gave the gestures a good try, literally a full week of struggle. It's not that I'm not capable, it's that I feel like the gesture function is slower and less efficient than tapping a visible button.

They see me lighting They hatin!

Animated and colored lighting on watch edges in reaction of receiving a notification

It is not a clock face you will keep your clock as it is the lighting added within it

App link on Google play

With this app you can :

- Light after receiving a notification for a specific period or always.

- customize lighting style and color per app or contact name

- Light for 10s on every minute tick

- Light after turning screen On for a specific period or always while screen is On.

- Light after turning screen Off for a specific period or always while screen is Off. (works on Ambient mode)

AOE is the first and only app to make edge lighting for Wear OS I'm the developer of it 3 years ago

I'm wating your feedbacks to improve and add ideas you like

I actually can't have a pixel watch for now so I hope if someone have time in capturing the app while running on his watch I would be grateful 💛

[Sony Xperia 1 III] Couchment:
Hi all, I recently received a replacement 1 III from Sony/sbe and this phone is unable to use its built in updater or use the Xperia companion upgrade or software repair. It does flash via newflasher so fortunately I was able to update it but it still will not repair. Sony wants it back to fix it but I'd rather not send it off because it took them >6 weeks to ship me a replacement the first time. Attached is the error message that pops up on Xperia companion shortly after it reboots into flash mode. Any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
Use xperifirm and update with newflasher.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Couchment:
I've done that and it works perfectly. I'm concerned about not being able to use the companion program to run the repair if I ever brick it.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
Did you unlocked the bootloader ?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Couchment:
Just double checked and the bootloader is still locked. I got this phone fresh from Sony after a warranty replacement.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] kevinmcmurtrie:
Be very careful. SBE left the phone bootlooping and it has disabled itself. Their next step is that they will claim your warranty is completely voided because you altered the firmware.

It's not only incorrect, but illegal. It's a mess to escalate and resolve.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Couchment:
It's not bootlooping, I'm typing on it right now. The issue is it won't update on its own and that the companion app is useless. SBE definitely broke something when they "tested" it before sending it to me.

Sony has agreed to fix it for me but also pulled the it's out of warranty card because my original purchase was from eBay, even though it was brand new in a sealed box.

I don't want to send it off for something this simple, I just got it back after SBE took 6 weeks to send me this one. If it just needs a flash I can handle that in short order, I just need to know where to look.

After the fiasco this has been this might be my first and last Sony phone.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Kazler:
I actually have the same problem with my 1 III softbank edition. Unable to use its built in updater or the Xperia companion upgrade. Struggle with newflasher everytime and always lost all my data after update by newflasher... Any solution yet?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Parababble:
I had my Xperia 1iii repaired recently (only took half a week), got the whole motherboard replaced due to a faulty camera and noticed my Wife's Xperia 5iii had the Android 13 update today, but unfortunately my device hasn't come up with one yet. Update status says "Your device already has the latest available system update" but there is definitely an Android 13 for the XQ-BC52 model. Tried Sony Companion PC and even that says software is up to date! Before my device needed the repair, both Xperia 1iii and 5iii phones get the updates rolling at the same time. Very strange issue!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Pandemic:
Use xperifirm and download the latest A13 and flash it with newflasher and you are good to go. Why so hard if you can keep it simple mate.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Parababble:
Thanks! I guess that's going to be my only option from now on! Whoever repaired it probably used xperifirm and newflasher themselves for quickness with the latest A12, so it wasn't the native stock ROM!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Kazler:
I do the same and my phone got bootloops like previous times, even I follow all the guides in our forum. Now I need to repair and clear all of my data again... So I think the built-in update function is more simple than use newflasher, it's just it didn't working...
[Sony Xperia 1 III] NoblesseObligeZERO:
I have the exact same problem and sony wants the device back. It took them over two months to repair the device when the fingerprint reader and microphone were not functional and now they want it back. I have a good feeling they're just gonna update it and not fix the problem. If I were to guess... They told they replaced the motherboard and because of that the motherboard probably no serial number on it and thats why it has trouble with OTA updates and the recovery.
