[Google Pixel 8] bobby janow:
Yeah thinking the same thing but at least get some market saturation from us at the outset. I feel they are making a huge mistake on this release but time will tell. I doubt many pixel 7 users will bite unless they have mucho bucks to throw away. Let's see what the carriers offer. The iPhone 15 is killing it with upgrades. My daughter just got a 15pro for a hundred bucks with a 12pro trade in on verizon. That's why most everyone carries an iPhone and not a pixel. Google are marketing geniuses. Why trade in an iPhone for a pixel? 625 bucks or 899 to upgrade to a 999 phone. And that new pixel isn't worth **** next year.
[Google Pixel 8] LeoD:
Of course I can't speak to their marketing strategy, however Bobby brings up a valid point. One year old phone vs two year old phone, same trade- in price? I can't remember seeing anything like that before. 2021 auto vs 2022 auto, 1 day old bread vs two day old bread etc. Stupid marketing tactic IMHO
[Google Pixel 8] LeoD:
Yes they are! Like your daughter, my son just traded BOTH a P3 & P2XL and got $840 off from Verizon for the 15 pro. Of course I was surprised he was able to apply both phone in the trade in. Now that was one heck of a deal. He was very happy to keep his 13 pro and trade Dad's old pixels in lol
[Google Pixel 8] bobby janow:
So I took the $450 deal from BB with the pro buds which I'll sell on eBay for about $150 new/sealed. That's 6 bills off the price of 699 plus tax it should cost around $150. I can live with that.
[Google Pixel 8] kingpeppermint:
Yeah it's the ''competitor we hate the most premiums'', same with Samsung, if you go to their trade ins they also pay much more for Apples, but otherwise i have also seen Apple doing the same with trade ins on some android models.

it's indeed not fair compared to an android phone of the same or newer age, but i guess that the way it works.
[Google Pixel 8] LeoD:
Yeah, good deal there. BB is the way to go if your trading in a P7.
[Google Pixel 8] bobby janow:
I just went to BB and took a look at the P8s. The smaller one is much smaller than the P7, almost like the P5. I don't think I'll get $150 for the buds pro but certainly $100+. So to me this is a good upgrade even though the P7 is still running great. They keep making them smaller, I'll keep buying.
[Google Pixel 8] LeoD:
I have already ordered and received a couple of cases for the P8. I got the PHNX case and a X-Level. Not to crazy about the X-Level, for me it is more bulk that I am used to for a X-Level. When I received it I put it up against my P7 and the difference was noticeable. I was a bit surprised at the difference cause I had seen a earlier review (no idea which one now) that said it wouldn't be noticeable, it sure is to me.

After you posted the other day about getting that $150 for the buds pro, sorry to say I seen an ad advertising a deal for $65 off the buds pro before the new firmware. My thought was of course so much for $150. Again sorry, but you sure should be able to pull in a cool $100

This was the hardest part for me. First off I'm right with you there about them making them smaller I'll keep buying them. lol

My P7 has not giving me any problems at all, at least up till now. However I still have my P6. I'm one of them that never had a issue with my P6, but I just hate that phone. It is a brick! and way to big for me. That phone in my pocket tugs on my pants. The P7 is much better at least in my hands, so having the choice I took the hit with the trade-in and I'm ditching that P6. At least as a back up I'm comfortable with the P7.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] Ohno101:
Whenever I attempt to measure heart rate it crashes and even with reboot it won't start unless put on charge again. It also happens when it attempts to do it on its own. Although I do know that a factory restart fixes it for a short time. (I don't want to have to do that every time)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] Zxalilh:
I assume it's a hardware problem but you said that after a reset it works normally. The only thing I can't understand is why it doesn't reboot for a short period of time even if you use the heart rate after a reset. Could you explain to me the symptoms of the watch and maybe if you can, a video of it crashing.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] samteeee:
Hi everyone,

I took the dive and ordered a Pixel 8 Pro, 128GB in Porcelain and took a Pixel Watch 2 in the same color as the free promo!

How about you guys, anyone?1
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] CrashTestDroid:
I'm waiting for Black Friday for a $300 discount instead of the watch.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Gordietm:
Exactly the same for me.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Missignal_Dev:
Just ordered 256GB Pixel 8 Pro with the watch, probably going to play around with the watch for a few days and sell it for $300 on second hand market 😂
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Gordietm:
I also got the watch and thinking of selling it. What do you think I can ask for as BNIB?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Missignal_Dev:
No idea yet. Maybe $400 is reasonable enough? According to current price of the first gen Pixel Watch looks like it is doing great on keeping its value even after a year (compared to the current price of used Pixel 7).

However due to the pre-order deal this time you can expect to see a tons of Pixel Watch 2 for sale on every 2nd hand market, which is definitely going to impact the price...
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Gordietm:
I agree. What was thinking $400 and settle for $375.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Morgrain:
Interesting to see those Canadian used prices, in Europe a used Pixel Watch maybe gets you 150 €, not more. Maybe because they are much more common, every pre-ordered Pixel 7 Pro here was coupled with a Pixel Watch.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] chriskwarren:
I grabbed a black 256GB Pixel 8 Pro and a watch. I fill up my phone with media for offline and 128gb was getting tight.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] KingMike67:
Pre-ordered the Blue (Bay) on Friday. Got an email from Rogers today saying it was backordered with an estimate of 4+ weeks before being restocked. Strangely they said to call to change the color for quicker shipping. I picked the blue because I thought everyone wanted the Black LOL
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Raydonn:

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] intel_core_i7:
Like the title says, does the Pixel 8 series support 32 bit software of any kind? P7 already removed 32 bit app support but it can be enabled back with rooting or with a custom ROM. Wondering if it's still the case with P8 series.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] blackhawk:
Apparently not.

Google wants to flush all legacy apps down the drain. This all started with their lame decision to implement scoped storage. Personally I use some legacy apps that have no equivalent freeware replacement like WPS office.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] intel_core_i7:
I'm still unsure though, since the Snapdragon 8 gen 2 and the Dimensity 9200 series shares some of the same armv9 cores with the G3, and both of them still support 32-bit execution. I think the only way we could know is to wait when the first batch delivered.

Stupidest thing ever, I agree. Probably an anti-piracy measure, because emulators and game modders uses android/data and android/obb quite a lot
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] TPXX:
I'd think it was a tech issue. moving ahead to 64 bit without supporting legacy apps means the processor runs cleaner and faster. Including support for legacy 32 bit apps means lower performance for hardware and software. Windows had to do the same for the OS. Hopefully the devs will update older apps as long as there is a demand.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] rester555:
Yes, I used Graph89 which allowed me to emulate my school calculator with ease and have been using it for engineering since I left college. 20 years of engineering and no longer can use my phone like I used my ti-89 titanium. It's a bummer for me, but now there are a decent amount of engineering calcs that can be used as an apk easily.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] blackhawk:
Strange how that works.

XPx64 was probably the best.

Then it went down hill from there.

Android 9 may be the best; Google Android is still on a crash dive. The newest Samsung flagship use a lot of power for mundane daily operations. This relic stock N10+ (Android 9) keeps up very well, except very cpu cycle intense apps and gets better SOT. In many ways its a better machine and platform. Reminds me of how MS screwed up their platform.

Running a 32 bit emulation layer slows down the app but the overall hit on the device is minimal.

If they can afford cpu cycle sucking scoped storage, they can certainly budget this in. If the user doesn't want the performance hit then simply use 64 bit apps.

Screw them as it will cost Google and the manufacturers. I can hold up another 3+ years without breaking a sweat. Every year people like me do that it cuts their profits and dents their clout. Tired of their arrogance... suffer.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Morgrain:
Low power usage is definitely a big problem of modern tech.

Intel CPUs and AMD GPUs for example use a gigaload of energy if you play a simple video, which even after years of patching hasn't gone completely away. And if you dare to use several displays at once, then you basically never get idle power usage, while NVIDIA for some reason managed to achieve that.

I remember Google acquiring a company, should not have been longer than 2 years ago, which made breakthroughs in low-power usage in wearables, especially concerning heart tracking in trackers/watches. Hopefully we will see the fruit of that in future Pixel Watches, probably not the 3, but maybe the 4.

Personally, I couldn't care less for all those high-powered mobile processors, all I want is a phone that can last me 3-4 days without charging whilst having an awesome camera and a good display. It's ridiculous that we have to suffer so much idle energy drain, because companies haven't figured out how to create an efficient processor with low-power idle usage. Google especially is leading the field here, the times I had to recharge my phone at least once a day (had the P1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and soon 8) is more than just annoying.

Apple here went the right path with their quest of achieving a new kind of architecture, but then they forgot about efficiency and again went on the path of "BRUTEFORCE MORE POWER SO OUR STATISTICS LOOK BETTER THAN SAMSUNG". They could have easily achieved 2 or 3 day battery life by now, but instead they chose to make longer bars in a video. It's a bit hilarious to see older IPhones having better battery life.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] evelhorn:
Got my Pixel 7 pro roughly a month ago and it will not play YouTube videos without freezing or blurry or pixelated. But the exact same video will play on twitch. Have uninstalled the updates. Cleared the cache. Clear Google Cache. Clear Chrome Cache stopped any and all chrome extensions. I don't know what else to do, and yes I did factory reset it
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
It sounds like Youtube settings (you may need to set it to max resolution always) and/or your data signal/connection strength -- as YT set on "auto" will lower quality (blurry/pixelated) when it's low signal. Low data signal/connection strength will also explain the freezing as well...

I know this observation is rather obvious, but it's not something you listed in your post; so covering all bases....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] evelhorn:
Yeah thanks for replying but unfortunately I tried all those settings. The only thing that seems to help even a little bit is to max out my refresh rate but it still doesn't stop it entirely

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
Have you tried absolute stock version of app; doing the "Uninstall updates"? Took a look at your OP again, you don't mention doing so -- you mention clearing cache and everything in Chrome, but with your thought that you can't "uninstall this app", if resetting it to the version your device shipped with doesn't set it right, then it's something else on your device...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] evelhorn:
Yeah I went and un installed all the updates. Everything along those lines
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
yeah...then like others have suggested in this thread, I would see if running another variant of Youtube will cause the same behavior -- if it does then it's definitely something in your setup that it causing the weird behavior.

Problem is that that could also be the case still, as you can have an app or setting that is just affecting Youtube only; it's just that running another variant and it happening on that will prove without a doubt it isn't Youtube itself...

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lXxMrsAnonymousxXl:
Hey guys, I am hoping someone or everyone could give me some advice on a way to unlock the boot loader on my S22 Ultra 5G, or how to root the device. Ill give some quick backround, I bought this phone off of someone online, they said they would factory reset it, when they dropped the phone off they also left a note with the screen pin. I thought this was odd because if it was factory reset I shouldn't need the pin lock however the pin did work but when I tried factory resetting the device the google account was no longer there and the two factor authentication from Samsung was sent to the previous owners email I'm assuming, which no longer was on the phone. (the google account was removed however the Samsung account was still on the device.) It would not allow me to log out of the Samsung account, which in turn would not allow me to factory reset the phone. I assumed, incorrectly, that if I reset the phone via Recovery Mode the FRP would not activate because the google account no longer was on the device, however when I did this the FRP lock did in fact activate and I have been searching every where for a way to remove the FRP. I know combination files usually remove FRP and I did find instructions on how to make a combination file however the files on the firmware are not the same as it indicated in the instructions so I don't know if maybe someone knows if there is a combination file available for this phone that would remove the FRP or if anyone has ANY advice or a way I can get this FRP removed from this phone i would be forever grateful. Im looking forward to any advice I can get at this point, thanks in advance!
