[Google Pixel 7] O.J. Simpson:
You need to give Pixels some time, as the software is supposed to be intuitive and adapt to your usage. Also, I think some people coming from a different OEM don't realize Pixels are pure android with no frills, so they don't always "wow" you right out of the box. Pixels aren't for everybody, but those of us who love our Pixels tend to be happy with them and enjoy special features that others may not get due to carrier software manipulation, etc.

At the end of the day, all devices are subjective and it just depends on what you're looking for. Don't like the Pixel? Cool. There are thousands of other options out there. Go find your happy place.
[Google Pixel 7] xabierd:
Pixels can run grapheOS, others phones can't. That's me reason to keep pixel phones.
[Google Pixel 7] googletermsofservice:
I regret trading in my P3 for this phone
[Google Pixel 7] eshroom:
The OS is cleaner and it has some nice functionality, but even my Xiaomi mi 10 that I traded from feels like a better phone. And the battery life, which was the only reason I gave up the mi 10 (which had dropped to 60% battery), is **** on the pixel 7.
[Google Pixel 7] 57op:
cannot talk about the OS, i immediately switched to LineageOS as i'm used to that.

i tend to agree to the general feeling, underwhelming it's a good summary for this device.

in my overall experience, it's a barely good device which could've been great if they wanted to.

Screen: 5/10

mediocre screen... it only looks good on darker colors, lighter ones look terrible with visible rainbow effects at very little movement.

minor, almost imperceptible, flickering on static images.

i completely fail to understand why pixel 7 has so many positive reviews about the screen.

thankfully xda and other reviewers made interesting insights about this issue, sadly we as the customers got a indecent panel.

Battery life: 8/10

usually allows me to do 5h of screen usage with ~50%, which is more than enough for me, just in time to put in charge for the next day.

Camera: 7/10

i expected more, considering the reviews.

i've tried it a few days on stock and gcam but i really don't see why all the praises.

anyway it delivers more than i actually need and care.

front camera is actual ****, really bad for video calls.

About the rest:

fingerprint sensors, odd enough, works ok for me: it always recognize my fingerprint. it's just a tad slow which isn't great.

stereo audio balance is weird.

i'll always complain about 3.5" mm audio jack lack.
[Google Pixel 7] eshroom:
It also doesn't have digital to analog conversion, soost USB-C to 3.5mm converters won't work.
[Google Pixel 7] DJ-Tumor:
Coming from MI10 my Pixel7 DESTROYS the Xiaomi when it comes to battery life.

I have absolutely no idea why others have the opposite experience....I guess they use crap apps and allow any idiotic apps to wake the phone up all day. Pixel lives on it´s optimizations...If you kill those...battery life might get that knock out some are experiencing.
[Google Pixel 7] gap30:
I flashed Lineage (no gapps) more or less straight away and I have sort of gotten used to the phone now since my initial post a month ago

The battery life is insane for me but I dont do any social media I basically just use it as a phone and have the bare minimum apps running on it

The main thing that bugs me is the charging speed my Oneplus 7 pro used to charge in no time this phone takes forever luckily I can get about 3 days out of a full charge

Dont use the fingerprint so cant really comment on that

It does what I want it to, would I recommend it? no very confused by the reviews it got I will reiterate what I said in my initial post my OP7pro was a far better phone the tech has not improved over the years

Maybe I am wrong comparing to one of the best phones ever made....
[Google Pixel 7] eshroom:
DESTROYS in caps is what I'd say about the Mi10 battery compared to Pixel 7. Same apps, I stopped using the Mi10 on 65% battery health, and the pixel 7 is marginally better (and I've optimised a lot more apps with the pixel 7 to try and make up for the terrible standby drain). Mi10 new absolutely destroys pixel 7 on battery.
[Google Pixel 7] DJ-Tumor:
I´ve read your comment before and my experience is a totally different one.

I´ve posted my opinion aiming to have others know the worse battery experience stated by some is not representative for all users out there.

Especially streaming radio (from internet) via LDAC to the bluetooth speaker at work just kills the Mi10. Pixel7 is obiously miles ahead in efficiency to the Mi10. Mi10 has nominally about 400mah more battery in it.

Mi10 SHOULD win the battery contest but does not for me.

And it´s not just the battery life of devices that makes a good phone.

Mi10 has so many flaws not obvious to me when buying I´m not considering Xiaomi phones for long time now.

Pixel 7 is not perfect by any means but it´s the far superior experience for me over the Mi10.

Since Mi11 and Mi12 were at best mediocre phones it proves my point.

Pixel 7 really needs to learn to have decent battery life. The first days are rough. That is a "Yap!" from me too.

But after these days and optimizing in the background....it comes around.

And finally I repeat if you use baaaad baaaad apps that as a result drain the battery there is nothing you can do to optimize. They will suck the life out of your phone. For these apps all that counts is battery size.

I can recall a game which halfed the battery life on the Mi10. I removed the game and all was good again.

Back then I used one of those apps showing big battery draines and that game instantly became obvious.
[Google Pixel 7] amonemessaid:
Hi there,

i've had my P7 for about a couple of months now and I'm feeling exactly underwhelmed. the OS is great. everything works well, but at this price point, getting something else from Xiaomi or OnePlus might have been a better alternative especially that I feel that i already miss the speed and fluidity of my OP6. the camera is definitely better especially taking still images, however, the video is a bit choppy when zooming in.

might switch up the OS, but for now, i'll give it some more time.

My mom gave me a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra to have unlocked since she can't remember her google account info and I can't get back into it. I have tried flashing with Odin but there are no FRP files for this device yet, as far as I can tell. Has anyone been able to get past the FRP lock on these? The current firmware is X900XXU3BVL2. CSC is XAR. WiFi-only tablet.

Some sites say to use the emergency dialer and go into test mode to bypass but there is no emergency dialer. Other sites say to use TalkBack but the options they say to use to bypass are not available on this tablet so I cannot get into the device at all. I am stuck in the setup so I can't even get in to turn on USB Debugging for ADB commands.

Please help.

Here I am going to give steps for flashing any mi device with stock miui rom. It worked for me. try it at your own risk

prerequisites :

(1) boot loader must be unlocked [for that use mi unlock tool after linking your mi account with phone....at first you will see a 168 hours wait time try again after 168 hours and your phone will be unlocked]

(2)mi flash tool [you can download it from : https://xiaomiflashtool.com ]

(3) miui stock fastboot rom [ download your miui stock rom for your device only, you can do it from : https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com ]

steps :

1 enable usb debugging from developer options

2 switch off your device

3 go to recovery mode in your mi device by pressing volume down and power key together

4 connect your phone to pc using data cable

5 now go to your pc and open mi flashtool

6 now select the rom unzipped folder

7 select refresh

8 before pressing flashing make sure you mark clean all and install from below

9 flash the file and after it is done your phone will boot up automatically (usually takes some time)

I have Pixel 6a (Android 13 January update). I do not use the phone with long calls so often. But it the long calls drops after 29m50s. It is repeatable. My phone operatpr is Telenor SE.

So my question. Is there any Pixel6a setting which handle this problem. or have the operator any SS7 log which print out the source of the drop.

The support from my operator is NIL

Hello there, I'm new here, I have a question.

When will the old Google Finance app for Android will be revived?

Because I wanna try that app to see if it works. It installs on Android 13, I opened the app and selected my account to sign in. And it said Network connection unavailable, even though I'm connected. Connected to my 5G network.

Then I explored the app, nothing works.

I tried accessing a stock, but it said Unable to load quote details from the network.

So, nothing works for now. Now, when will the old Google Finance app for Android will be revived? (I said).

The revived APK with fixed servers, improved support and support for newer versions of Android.

Thank you so much. 👍🥺 🙏
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
Google has killed many projects over the years. There will be no "reviving" of Google Finance - Google determined it simply wasn't in their business interest to continue the project.

Use something else.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dasdsad1:
Google won't revive it, but I said that someone can revive it. Maybe one day in the future.

The website still exists, as finance.google.com

But, the app no longer exists

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
It's a Google product, Google retains the rights to that product, so someone with a lot of capital would have to buy the IP rights to that product. It's most likely not going to happen, especially not from anyone here on XDA.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
I understand, but there isn't much you can do about proprietary projects that have been killed by the parent company, especially when they still own the intellectual property and are unlikely to sell it.

I'm not a financial guru, I've just been around long enough to know that there is always someone who doesn't like the current offerings and decides to develop their own.

Not possible without unlocking the bootloader.

How about the RENAME METHOD it won't work either?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] NOSS8:
You can rename the zip as you want, it won't change anything, the information is in the zip.

You can unlock the bootloader and relock it later.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] anmino:
OTA
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] anmino:
Can you verify for me if it works in my case?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] NOSS8:
Precisely, OTA allows to update with a recovery rom, not to downgrade.

You want to brick your phone, do it, then you will have to pay to recover the phone since the bootloader is locked.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] NOSS8:
No need to post You tube videos showing that everything is possible and easily circumvented.

I know many who regret having used You tube tutorials before asking the questions on XDA.

The safest way is to unlock the bootloader.

Please note that on the video at 7 minutes 36 we see the poco padlock which is open, which means that the bootloader is unlocked.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I'm researching Lenovo P11 for a new tablet.

All of the model numbers I'm finding start with ZA (ie ZA940077US), but all of the models in the forum start with TB and none match up with anything being sold (even on Lenovo's site).

Is there some cross reference for model numbers somewhere?

Also, all of the Lenovo pads I've come across say they are rubbing A11 or A10, but everything in this forum refers to ZUI for the OS.
[Lenovo P11] Pawnty:
All I can see is that the ZA numbers are part numbers on Lenovo's website. the TB numbers are the model numbers you'll find in the Android Settings. e.g. TB132FU is the P11 Pro Gen 2.

I'd disregard the ZA numbers and use the Android Update Matrix as a guide for how the common name corresponds to the TB model numbers. It also gives you an idea of what to expect in terms of update support:

Android Upgrade Matrix - Lenovo Support CA

support.lenovo.com

Here's a screenshot of the P series of tablets from that page. If you care about updates, I'd stick with one of the second gen tablets as they will be getting Android 13 and 14.

View attachment 5838661

I see your location says you're in NY. If you buy directly from the Lenovo website or a local authorized seller of Lenovo tablets (like Best Buy or whatever) you'll get a tablet that runs Lenovo's official OS with the latest version of Android available for that device. I purchased the Lenovo P11 Pro (Gen 2) directly from the Lenovo website back in November. It's currently on Android 12, receives OTA updates fine, and I haven't had any of the Netflix widevine issues.

There are a lot of people here who purchase these devices from Aliexpress and other resellers which seem to be the Chinese models of the tablet which come with ZUI, or the seller has flashed a customized global version of Android which causes issues with Netflix not working as it should be and OTA updates not working, among other things.
