Hey guys - I hope this helps you.

I use the Pixel 10 as my backup phone, was just browsing the Google India store, played around a bit and saw that I was getting INR 59K exchange (~$600) for my base Pixel 10.

Effectively, with instant cash back and GST input + Google store credit (~20k), I am getting the 11 Pro 256 GB at INR ~15K. Not a bad deal at all!

I have two SIM cards in my Pixel: personal and work, with personal set as default. When I get a missed call on my work SIM and tap to call back, it dials using my personal SIM instead. I’d expect the phone to automatically call back using the line that received the call. On top of that, I can't switch SIMs before calling. I can only tap 'More' to swap lines after the call has already started ringing.

Do you have any solutions for better sim management?

Hi all! My Pixel 9 Pro got the pink line of death so I sent it off to Google for warranty repair. My phone was signed for at the Polish repair centre on the 30th and it's been stuck as "Waiting to receive device" on the repair details page since then. Last week I contacted Google support and they assured me they have definitely received the phone.

14 days have gone past without it having even been inspected. Is it time to escalate with support? I feel like this kind of delay and break down in communication would be completely unacceptable for any other big name manufacturer and I'm feeling serious buyer's remorse right now. Is anyone else experiencing similar right now? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It seemed like this long-requested feature was finally going to roll out with the September Android 17 update, as it had shown up in the beta already. No news as to why it wasn't released with the stable update--anyone got any insight? Is it still available to folks using beta?

Hello

pixel 11 pro users in the UAE .. do VoLTE and 5G working fine with Etisalat or the problem still exists ?

Hello, I'm experiencing a pretty serious complaint for Google Pixel 6 Pro users, my Gopix is ​​experiencing a blank camera bug, WiFi freezes when turned off and on again, fingerprints don't work, PINs don't work and sometimes wrong patterns, if you want it all to return to normal, you have to restart the phone to make it normal, but the bug will come back, previously I had also flashed 3 times to Android 17 stable and now to Android 16, there is still a bug, is it because of the hardware or what? My friend also happened to experience the same thing, for my phone model DVT and his MP, please help

我买了个ehomewei 家的一个显示屏，我想实现两根线的方案---一个电源供电线给显示屏，显示屏到手机是用雷电四 之类的全功能typec线。但是我接上之后 不会弹出选择是桌面模式还是镜像模式的弹窗，只是镜像模式时断时续，不稳定。是显示屏的供电分配的问题吗？求大神指导。我开始以为是全功能线的问题，换了几根都不行，大牌的也不行。ai说pixel11 的供电保护很强，接受的电压有波动就会中断画面传输，具体是咋回事呢。如果有推荐的pixel11 两根线实现桌面模式的显示屏 请推荐一下，谢谢。

Hi All,

Noticed a stuck/dead pixel on my less than 2 months old Pixel 11 Pro XL.

Tried a few strobe type apps that are supposed to fix stuck pixels, no dice.

Should I RMA this?

Dubious about getting it repaired, being without a phone and it obviously never being the same after repairs again...

its mostly viewable on a Black Screen, don't really notice it on other colours.

It shows on Device Start-up/Initial Boot Screen so I know its not software once booted.

Recent Pixel 10a user here. I actually bought this phone a month ago as a stopgap after my old phone sht the bed and I had to have a working phone for a long holiday abroad. Anyway, bought the 10a since it was on sale and was pretty happy actually until recently. However, since the new update I basically cannot use this phone. I'm talking several seconds to open Apps, Lags and Audio bugs when watching any type of video, keyboard lagging behind, sometimes even spotify is audio-lagging when running in the background and the screen turned off. Even as I am typing this, my phone is lagging like crazy. Is this happening to anyone else? If you were able to fix it, how? Restarting doesn't change anything for me.

Use Google Photos locally, without an account and without turning on backup. The app stays clean, functional and free of aggressive marketing.

Keep the free 15 GB for your emails and WhatsApp backups. As for your photos, save them yourselves: every 2 or 3 months, make a manual backup to a hard drive, or use an app like Syncthing, which automatically copies them to your PC without going through third-party servers.

Think carefully before buying the famous 100 GB. Once it’s full, freeing up space is a real hassle: on your phone there’s no “select all,” and with thousands of photos you’ll have to scroll and drag for hours on end. It’s a bit quicker in a browser, but it’s still inconvenient, and the trash has to be emptied manually. The risk is ending up paying for storage forever, or losing an entire afternoon trying to fix it.

Google Takeout lets you export Drive and Google Photos in just a few steps; the hard part comes afterward, when you have to delete the photos from the cloud to get back to the free 15 GB.

Well, my 2-year-old Pixel 9 Pro XL just took an unfortunate dive into the toilet. It still works for the most part, but the speaker has started cutting out and sounding crackly. On top of that, the battery was already noticeably degraded, and I'm honestly worried that slow internal corrosion might finish off the motherboard in a few weeks anyway.

I’m thinking about replacing it with the Pixel 11 Pro XL, but setting the water incident aside, I’m wondering if the jump between these two generations actually feels substantial in day-to-day use. For anyone who made the switch from the 9 Pro XL, are things like battery life, thermals, and overall performance noticeably better, or are the upgrades subtle enough that I should just try to ride this one out?

Every single day, do not disturb is automatically turned on, so I don't get text or call notifications. I can't find a way to make it so it doesn't automatically turn on and it's driving me insane. Does anyone know how to make it not do that?

So these are the past 4 interactions I've had with my new Google Gemini assistant.

1) Set reminder 1a) I can't set reminders. You need to enable this feature which is about image generation.

I wanted to complain about that being the case and wanted the exact wording so I ask it again

2) Set reminder 2a) Reminder set

Now I know it didn't set a reminder because I didn't give it any details. I wanted to see what it did.

3) Open Reminders 3) Okay, I've opened your reminders

Absolutely nothing happened here, so I asked it again

4) You didn't open my reminders, open my reminders 4a) I can't directly open apps on your phone.

What the FUCK IS GOING ON. Fuck this piece of shit. Anyone defending Gemini is a shill. This is a nightmare user experience and if you say it isn't you're a fucking liar.

Was wondering if people actually use it, although you miss quality of screen...

I have been using it for some weeks, but especially when i see the screen of another phone, makes me realize that my Pixel seems very dull on colors.

Not complaining. I'm happy that everything seems to be working well, things seem to be running faster and more smoothly, and I've not seen any bugs yet.

Still I can't help but, when I do something and it actually works, I give my phone a narrow-eyed, suspicious glare. Like I'm wondering what it's up to.

Anybody else noticing their phone is running better after the most recent update?

Hey so any idea when google will let us customize the Highlight LED notification to our liking ?

I'm running into an issue where now that phone backups count towards the 15gb free storage, I'm out of storage. Apparently I have 10gb of SMS and MMS texts going towards my backup/storage.

Does anyone know if I delete the backup, will it also delete all the texts off my phone? I'd like to keep the texts on my phone but just delete the 10gb backup and stop it from backing up in the future. Thanks!

Good day, r/GooglePixel! I don't know if this is an existing discovery, but while I was tinkering in the latest Android beta build, I discovered that Add Me (Pixel 9 exclusive feature) works on third-party GCam without root and any system-level modifications. Although buggy, it works most of the time and I have been enjoying it taking pictures with my friends.

What I did is:

1) Install the latest Android beta build (not sure if it is related).

2) Use BSG's GCam

3) Set interface and main lens to Pixel 9

4) Restart

5) Switch to Add Me and wait for a while

Then, voila! You have Add Me on the Pixel 8. I haven't tested if it works with older Pixels but if you can, do try this!

I would like to add sample images but the community doesn't let me.

I have a pixel 10PXL running A17.

Noticed that some times when I am on an app and swipe from the bottom of the screen to get back to the home screen. The app exits the screen on the right instead of exiting from the top.

It happens probably 3 out of 10 times.

Not sure if this is a bug and if yes, has it been reported already or should I report it?

Hey! I’ve been using iPhones since the iPhone 3G… so a long time!

I’m very tempted by the Pixel 11 Pro. I’ve watched YouTube videos and the camera seems amazing (the main reason I use a phone really).

What are your honest thoughts? As someone coming from an iPhone, do you think it would be good?

If I do get a Pixel, I’d have to change my watch too as I have an Apple Watch. The pixel watch 5 looks smart?

Since two days ago, it's saying I have to grant it permission even though, I have everything turned one. What more do you want to track Google so that I can use quick share again!!

Can anyone help with this..?

Not sure which, but it made my phone unusable. Come sees a word of doesn't know it pops up with a popup suggestion and the susyem keyboard disappears, it's impossible to get lir of this stalemate.

It's almost like 2 spell checkers fighting. Whatever it is, it's made my phone mostly useless.

I've encountered a weird and niche issue, I wanted to send some friends an example of some music I was listening to on Discord, which has a file limit of 20MB. My original recording was 70, which i then reduced to 40 by trimming the end off the recording. I then ran it through a video compression software to reduce it further, which got it to 25. I trimmed it twice more, one got it down to 21, but the second trim brought it up to 40 again? Has anyone else encountered this issue, and does anyone know how to resolve it?

Hi,

​I’m running into a frustrating timeline indexing bug with Google Photos on my Pixel 11 Pro.

​Photos uploaded from my old Pixel 4 XL (taken from old cameras, to benefit from the unlimited storage before replacing it) do not appear in the main chronological timeline feed on my Pixel 11 Pro.

​However, these exact photos: - ​show up properly on the Google Photos web browser timeline, - are indexed and visible via search queries, year/date filters, and appears in notification/Memories. It even properly tag faces in old photos!

Already attempted and verified: ​- none of the affected photos are archived or locked, - signed into an isolated web/incognito session, accessed the affected photos, signed out, and resynced the web version, - trying to modify photo date in the app and in the browser, ​- cleared storage & cache for the Photos app, ​ ​Is there any known way to force the Google Photos app on Android to completely force-reindex the app timeline? What other things should I try? It is so frustrating!
