[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] blackhawk:
Try a network reset on the Pixel if you haven't.

Check all settings especially in the app. Clear caches.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] danw_oz:
Turn off google assistant, or remove it and see if that works, as soon as I enabled it on my watch it drained my phone and the watch super quick
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] danw_oz:
I think your issue is a coincidence, the latest watch firmware for me keeps the screen on without the appropriate movement, even turning this off the screen is still waking up, and when it should sleep, screen goes black for a split second then comes back on. Now I can't even go a day on a charge, and doing almost nothing
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] ericDraven77:
Hi! Thanks for your answers.

After a restart of watch and phone and reset of the Watch everything works fine now.

Battery is even better then with my Pixel 6 Pro as far as I can judge this.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] danw_oz:
Glad you got it sorted. I have tried 4 resets of the watch and still have the same issue, how did you do the reset? just the standard reset option?

Edit

I have now performed a hard reset no restore except health and so far so good with the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] ericDraven77:
I did a complete reset and didn't restore any things from my backup as they weren't that important to me and I think they are stored in the Samsung Health app anyway.

As this worked for you too, I think you shouldn't restore the watch after reset to make it work the best way.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] danw_oz:
Yeah maybe it was the restore more than the hard reset, good to know for future because I had waisted many days on this and resets.

I can confirm I am getting normal battery life instead of about 8-9 hours.

Quite a cool I phone looking app. How hard would it be for someone to make this a panel?
[XPERIA X1 General] mlinz:
I guess really the question should be... Why don't you just buy an iPhone? My guess is this is just a today screen plugin, similar to TF3D. If that is the case, running it should be about the same at TF3D on the X1. I know some people in the Diamond forum were trying to get ifonz to work.
[XPERIA X1 General] derliebewolf:
Jep, same thought! Go und lock yourself up with an iPhone...
[XPERIA X1 General] billybobjones:
i really dont get why anyone on earth likes the iphone. but whatever.
[XPERIA X1 General] Micke401:
Well why not a iphone lookalike panel when the tf3d seems very popular,it´s all about to replace/complement the panels we already have onboard as i see it..
[XPERIA X1 General] navymarvin:
iphone is a nice phone and i cant say i havent put iphone like apps on my 6800 and thought about it for my tp but i thought again and whats the point i may as well have just gotten an iphone. its probably best to get apps from iphone (if at all possible) instead of the flashy looking ui. it gets boring after a while. not taking anything away from the people that develop those programs because its something i cant do and it amazes me. so keep up the good work but just not for me at least not for extended periods.
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
you could ask the author

[XPERIA X1 General] ipporek:
Does this install as a Today plugin or an app itself?

Oops... found the answer. It ain't a Today plugin. So guess it somehow replaces the today screen? And that why TS's there asking about if anyone can convert it to a panel?
[XPERIA X1 General] Amanox:
I find this is a discussion worth picking up again! so has anybody put some thought to it?

I tried the latest version of ifonz ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=436656) and it works pretty good with full landscape support and loads of customisation options.

Now ... I know nothing about programming .. but is it hard to make it come up as a panel?

The way it works now it is an .exe which u need to start manually (similarly to the T3D before the panel .cab came out) ... so what does it take to get a panel .cab for this little app?

I thought about contacting the author but then again I dont see why this should be his business ... he probably doesnt even have the Xperia!

So any ideas on this?

thx
[XPERIA X1 General] ipporek:
I'd think the one most able to come up with a panel for this at the moment should be the guy who did the panel for TF3D.
[XPERIA X1 General] Skurai123:
I tried installing the ifonz using the .exe but they mentioned about throwing an exception?
[XPERIA X1 General] Skurai123:
I've searched almost everywhere for an answer but have yet to find one. I still can't install iFonz on the XPERIA. I was wondering, do I download the files on the phone itself then run the exe (if that's possible) OR run it on the desktop/laptop with the XPERIA connected via activesync which I have been trying to do. But on my Laptop, I get an error that it has failed and on my desktop it says something about an exception.
[XPERIA X1 General] Amanox:
no u are supposed to install it on the xperia ... maybe u r doing the same mistake that I did the first time I tried to install ... this may sound stupid but u need to copy the .zip onto your xperia and then actually extract the files before u can install them!

Reason I m saying this is because when u click on .zip after u copied it onto your xperia it will automatically change folder and show u a list of all the files that are in that .zip.

intuitively u would probably click the .exe right away however if u do this u get an error saying that the file cannot be installed for unknown reasons etc. if you however, extract the files to a folder of your choice then u can click the .exe and the installation works just fine

alternatively, u may just be needing to install microsoft net framework 3.5 which u can download for free on the microsoft website .. if you search this forum u will find a link to it ..

sorry for late reply, hope that helps
[XPERIA X1 General] Skurai123:
Ah thank you! Yes, I have installed Microsoft Net Framework (I did do my research haha). I will try it out now!
[XPERIA X1 General] Skurai123:
Okay, now that I have ifonz I realised that I don't like it. Worst of all, when I switch on my phone, it starts off in the ifonz page. And so I deleted the ifonz folder. But now, when I switch on my phone, they mention an error as they are unable to find ifonz.exe. How do I get rid of this annoying pop up?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] three west:
So, here's a fun one.

The phone won't play notification sounds when my Pixel Watch is connected.

It won't even play sample sounds in the selection screen, nothing. I put the watch in airplane mode and they play fine.

I have yet to find a setting that's controlling this.

Anybody got any ideas?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] raymondotango:
Goto the watch app and goto the notifications setting, then goto mute notifications.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] three west:
I was about to reply and tell you you misunderstood my question, but nope, that's exactly it. Thahks @raymondotango !

Just a user :) I was hoping to find a method for getting Lineage OS on one of my 3 LG V20 phones.

But it seems this got blocked and the bootloader can no longer be unlocked, so all the material here and in countless

other sites is obsolete it seems. Will keep looking though.

Welcome to XDA and Enjoy the forums!📱🙂

Looks like you're finding your way around the LG V20 forums.

Cheers
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
Hey guys, received my pixel today and thought I'd share some first impressions for those interested or who haven't received theirs yet.

I use a 21ultra as my daily and run a 14 pro max for work so I have a broad spectrum to judge the new pixel against. I'll try and break my impressions into bullet points.

1. New pixels design is nice, feels good in the hand, I went for obsidian, looks good, the rear is a total fingerprint magnet.

2. The haptics are very good, different to the iPhone but not better or worse, which is impressive because iPhone haptics are usually the benchmark of good vibration for me.

3. One thing I don't love is the weight, both the iPhone and the s21 are quite a bit heavier at 229 and 240 and it makes the pixel feel less premium somehow. When you tap the screen on the pixel to type it almost feels and sounds hollow whereas the Samsung for example is much more firm. Its a personal preference but of the three phones the pixel feels the cheapest in the hand.

4. The camera are very good, coming from the exynos s21 where I always hated the video, pixel 7s new video is really impressive. Looking forward to getting to use it a bit more.

5. The speaker is good and loud but it's a little on the tinny side on comparison to the Samsung and the 14 pro. It crackles a little higher up the volume.

6. Looking forward to trying out some of the pixel features that are sprinkled throughout the ui, like the call screening, text to speech etc

Will report back once I use these for a prolonged period.

7. The pixel 7 pros sound and haptic integration is top notch and can be adjusted to your liking on the settings. Each activity that includes a vibration now let's you chose the intensity as well.

8. The screen is less curved which I love as I much prefer flat screens and this feels like a step in the right direction. The edges of the phone and indeed the screen are much less rounded too and makes the Samsung look a bit silly with its super rounded corners.

9. Fingerprint scanner being an optical one is another little disappointment for me, having found the ultrasonic in the Samsung to be unbelievably fast and reliable. Something about the white light under your thumb each time you try to unlock feels cheap and a bit silly when ultrasonic is an option.

10. Which brings me to the last feature I like, face unlock. While not quite as reliable as the iPhone it works well and is much faster than previous android phones I've used. Theres a nice little vibration and animation when it unlocks as well, which makes it feel well thought out and well executed. Hopefully it stays as reliable as its been so far.

Overall I'm pretty impressed. I'm a little disappointed at the over all feel, it's not bad, for me the iPhone still feels like a much more premium phone, and at about 350 quid more it ought to be I suppose. Software wise it looks promising and it has some of the best cameras and haptics of any phone. If anyone who hasn't gotten one yet would like to ask anything about it please feel free.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] galaxys:
Nice review details!👍 Kudos
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] grangermoch:
Thanks for sharing, I find myself in a somewhat similar situation. I have an S21U for personal use and an iPhone XR for work that I traded in for the Pixel 7 Pro.

I can definitely relate to the weight difference. I didn't like it at much first but now I've noticed it's a bit easier to hold laying in bed on my back. I'm always dropping the S21U on my face 😂

I've never used an optical fingerprint scanner before so right now the light is oddly amusing /fun for me, but it will probably get old after a while.

So did you keep your iPhone or did you trade it in?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
early days here and teething problems I think will be worked out. screen is definitely an improvement over the 6. my main concern tho is the tele lens. so far i'm finding it not as good as the 6p tele lens, which I absolutely love.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] liggerz87:
Love your review thank you first one I read
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] apoklyps3:
does it do usb-c to hdmi output?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Virgo_Guy:
Good info, shared. Thanks.

Could you crank up the brightness to the max, use the phone for some 15 mins like that and share the battery drain experience? Various reports like THIS ONE suggest that under direct sunlight the battery drains abnormally.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bacon612:
Hey there. Nice review. I totally agree with you on two points. I managed to fiddle with a 7 pro at a local target store (a day before launch if you can believe that they had the demo station set up).

The hollow feel while typing on it's screen is something I'd never felt before. It made me send back the 6pro last year and keep my OnePlus 8 pro as it felt like a more solid device. The 7 pro felt the same. I wonder why the hollow feel? Is it possible that it's a feature? Maybe the screen has more give so that it's less susceptible to cracking if dropped? Who knows...

Also agree about the speakers. I blared some YouTube music on the demo phone in the store like a weirdo (Motown) and wasn't exactly impressed. Especially when compared to the 14pro (wife's phone).

I want to love the new 7 pro but am shying away. OnePlus isn't exactly wonderful right now and my 8 pro is aging but I feel like I need more to make the jump
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
For me it was simply time to make a change from my Note 10 Plus. It's a 3 year old phone and it shows, particularly the camera which wasn't the best when the phone was released and is well behind the times now. I fully expect the feel of the 7 Pro to be less premium (one aspect in which the Note 10 Plus shines and still does) but it looks to me like this is the best Android device out there right now, especially for this price. And I hate iPhones.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] innit:
No.3 I've noticed the same thing. When tapping the screen it makes this hollow sound as if you were tapping a plastic cup (thw white one to be precise). The screen on Galaxy Tab S8 makes the same sound but Galaxy S20 doesn't. Maybe the screen panels on Pixel & Tab S8 are of lower quality?!

No. 9 Fingerprint is really fast and more reliable than on S20 (I always had to try multiple times before it finally worked).

No. 10 Face unlock is very fast, even in dim light.

Here are other things I've noticed:

1. Status bar is extremely thick 0.6 mm and therefore unnecessarily wastes too much space when screen resolution is lowered.

2. When in standby screen often doesn't react to taps or the power button being pressed. Screen just doesn't wake up and you have to try 2-3 more times for it to lit up.

3. Sometimes the screen suddenly gets so dim that you can barely see anything but the position of the brightness slider doesn't change at all when it happens. No idea what's causing it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
My Pixel 6 Pro did that all the time, its annoying.

One thing i have noticed it my P7P runs much cooler than my P6P did.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
Thank you!

I used to have it on my one plus 7 pro and I loved that but after the speed of the s21 s sensor I'm a bit disenchanted with optical sensors for now. My iPhone is for work so that's staying but the main question is will I be upgrading from my s21 ultra or returning this new pixel. So far I'm not fully sure..

I must check that out and see what it's like. What are the differences? Was the 6p wider?

Appreciate that thank you 😊

Let me check it out and get back to you

Yeah sure. I'll do that this morning

Thank you 👍🏻 that's a good question, oddly it's something I noticed on the iPhone too, it's like theres an air gap between the sreeen and the actual panel or something so maybe the more give thing is a good call. Either way it's a very small gripe but it's one that's honestly making me consider returning. That along with the weight does not make this feel like a 1k phone to be perfectly honest.

I too want to love it.. But I just don't so far and I don't see any good alternatives left if I send it back

Yeah I'm fully with you on that. Part of me wishes I didn't have the s21 ultra to compare as I'd probably be less disappointed. I absolutely hate Samsungs android software, but their phones are better build for sure.

Good points! I'll be honest the status bar is also driving me mental. I'm used to full immersive everything on the Samsung so this status bar and tbh the ui in general really vexes me. The little black bar for the pill also does my head in. Why don't we have status bars that have a gradient so we know it's there but it's not a literal banner plastered across the top of the phone. Another point that I'm trying to decide if I can live with. Must check out points 2 and 3 and report back.

That's a positive at least. I never had a P6P so I appreciate peoples input that ran them last year.

Apologies if it seems like I have a negative bias towards the phone having only had it a day. But the cost of smartphones Is so high these days that I don't expect perfection but there are certain things for me that are absolute deal breakers and unfortunately the pixel ticks quite and amount of those for me. Gonna run it for a few more days and see can I live with the aspects I don't like or is it time to return it and struggle on with the s21
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
I had an S21 Ultra but, ironically given the subject at hand, it stopped working after a fairly innocuous drop and Samsung refused to fix it because I'd previously rooted it (despite removing the root and it being back to a factory image). As a result I swore I would never buy another Samsung and I'm sticking to that, the only reason I have the Note 10 Plus is that a friend upgraded to a iPhone 13 late last year just after my S21 broke and he let me have it on a deal that was too good to refuse (£200), especially given that Samsung had just replaced the screen and battery for him so it was effectively brand new. My son is now getting it to replace his crappy old Poco M3 but I'm done with Samsung and their hateful Knox e-fuse.

I've just gotten a notification from the Royal Mail that my 7 Pro is due for delivery today rather than Monday which is a bonus.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Batfink33:
The display on the 6Pro and 7Pro is edge bonded meaning it's attached to the frame underneath around the edge. This makes it easier to replace but it gives it that "hollow" feel. Most phones today, Samsung etc are mid frame bonded,they're bonded to the frame half way up the display as well as around the edge also, so they don't have that air gap underneath and feel more "solid". The edge bonded display despite being easier to replace have the disadvantage of trapping heat in the phone because of the air gap.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JamesR913:
I too am coming from a S21U and noticed the give on the screen. At first I thought I left the keyboard clicks on when I was typing and heard the way the screen sounded.

The other thing I have noticed is when I am driving there are areas where the S21 had signal yet the P7P has no signal with the same sim card.

I too am debating keeping the device or not as these are pretty minor complaints but I'm not sure if it is a truly worthy upgrade for the money.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
I'd say the Pixel 7 Pro is an upgrade on the S21 Ultra, but not a particularly big one. A better camera (minus the 30x zoom), a little bit faster in terms of SOC speed but overall no spectacular improvements. In short, I'm not sure I'd spend money on a 7 Pro if I had a working S21 Ultra. But for me it's an easier choice, as my S21 Ultra is long gone and the 7 Pro is a massive upgrade on the Note 10 Plus I'm currently using.

Where it wins big is in comparison to the competition here and now. £850 for a phone that easily competes for everyday use with an iPhone 14 Pro Max which starts at £1200 and a Samsung S22 Ultra that starts at £1150. It loses out on a couple of things with both (battery life for the iPhone, S-Pen with the Samsung, and raw benchmarking horse power with both), but it also has advantages in comparison to both. In short it's a bargain for what you get, and the Pixel 7 even more.

I don't understand what appears to have become an acceptance that flagship phones have to cost north of £1000. It's an absolute nonsense deliberately brought into existence by Apple and Samsung for their own ends. It's good to see Google thumb their nose at it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Batfink33:
You're not getting truly top hardware with the Pixel though, it's only an LTPO 1.0 display for eg so there's a trade off for price.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
Yeah even with the better build most new phones can't handle any sort of a drop. Nice, let us know how you find it.

That makes perfect sense, Thanks for clearing that up. Makes me like the pixel even less now that that's been confirmed 😅

I don't have a sim in mine yet but that would be another deal breaker. Similar to you I only have small complaints so far. But I have more than I was expecting..

Yeah in a way I agree, phones absolutely shouldn't cost that much. What's a shame though is the phone feels physically cheaper and that's a bit of a deal breaker considering it was still over 1000 euros.. My s21s camera system is so poor it still makes sense to upgrade, plus a few quid back when I sell the old phone and the pixel watch but I have to say I'm still a bit let down. I absolutely despise apple software but there's no denying when I unboxed the 14 pro I was far more impressed with the quality

Yeah and it sort of shows tbh. If I could have the s21 ultra with the software advantages of the pixel 7p right now that would be the ideal hybrid.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Batfink33:
I'd pay the extra for a truly flagship pixel with all the latest hardware. Yes phones are way overpriced but it would be nice to have Pixel software on a phone with the quality build of an iPhone or Samsung. An Sd8+ Gen 1 (or gen 2) Pixel would be amazing.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
It's arrived, and it doesn't feel less premium at all. Maybe that's me and, being an engineer, I know weight doesn't equate to more premium. I love the feel of it, solid.

In terms of opinion, I've not got much else at the moment, still setting it up.
[Google Pixel 7] Dfresh2:
I just need any help. I'm trying to figure out why with apps like Snapchat and Facebook. I'm not getting their designated notification sounds. I go into the app settings and it says the notifications are on but then I go to my phone settings and for those particular apps it's set on my phone's default notification which is really annoying. It doesn't even have a app provided toggle that I could even turn on. Any help would be appreciated.
[Google Pixel 7] bobbyphoenix:
I had an issue with Instagram's notifications. Even though looking through the apps notifications they were all on, I was not getting any at all. It turned out that I did the Google transfer of apps for my old phone to my new phone, and that was why. What I did was clear all cache and data, and then start over by signing in and allowing notifications when the pop-up showed. I didn't get the pop-up the first time I open the app after the transfer, so I'm 99.9% sure that's why. Try clearing cache and data, and then start over by signing in like you just downloaded the app.
[Google Pixel 7] Dfresh2:
Thank you so much! I kind of figured that out as well because I uninstalled it then reinstalled it and everything was fine after that.
