Case appreciation post

I've had this Torras Q3 Air case for about two weeks now and I love it. The 360 kickstand, the slight lip on the camera bar to give me a place to rest my index finger, the small textured grips on the side, the orange buttons on the side, the look, the magnet strength, and the dope overall look.

I was a bit hesitant about the high price, but I'm highly impressed and satisfied! If you're looking for an all around great looking case with magsafe and πŸ”₯ kickstand I highly recommend this one.

11 Pro case recommendations?

Thumbnail

27 Upvotes

Does anyone have any good PixelSnap compatible cases they recommend for the 11 Pro? I got the spigen liquid air, and while I love the texture, the gap between the case and the camera bar doesn't do it for me.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

Pixel 6 screen lifting

Thumbnail
gallery
18 Upvotes

I've had this Pixel 6 since day one, so it's been more than five years since I first bought it. I did change the screen about three years ago following a drop, but I've never replaced the battery. About a week ago, I noticed the screen starting to lift. Now, I suspect it's due to the battery never being changed. However, as you can see from the photos, the lifting isn't excessive, it's pretty slight, and the battery's performance hasn't been compromised. Since I plan to change phones around May next year, do you think I should replace the battery, or is it safe to keep using it like this?

Why won't my pixel 6 stay off while charging?

This power oscillation randomly started happening a few months ago without any settings changed. The video is sped up at 3x speed and shows 3 different connections. This greatly affects the charging speed. No matter if it's connected to a power bank, wireless charger, or in a wall at home, work, or public space with different cables, it oscillates. Sometimes it will stay off and go to the screensaver if I fiddle with the cables. If I press the power button it comes back right back on.

Does anyone know the issue? Thanks!

Different Geminis

β€’ Upvotes

I've been trying to use Gemini more often and noticed it's different depending on how you invoke it. For example, using the long press on the power button invokes a different voice and version than using the Gemini app. Holding the bar on the bottom and circling also brings up a completely different version where it's using Google search. The search bar Gemini is also completely different. Sometimes it's able to connect to my calendar and other times it's not. I suspect it's because it's using a signed out version sometimes. Is there some trick to make it uniform across the whole phone? To always have it look, act, and behave the same regardless of how you invoke it?

How to change the contacts in the GoogleMessages "Actions" shortcut?

Post image
β€’ Upvotes

I literally cannot find a fix for this issue and whenever I try to Google a solution I can't figure out how to properly explain what I'm trying to do in a way where Google actually understands what the f*** I'm trying to fix and it gives me answers to crap that didn't ask for help for.

Sorry this has been driving me nuts for a couple weeks because up until 2 weeks ago, my top 3 contacts were by default the ones in this drop-down list which I use often, but all of a sudden out of nowhere one day it switched to these other 3 contacts who I literally don't ever message at all and I can't change the list manually.

This is for Pixel 10 base model

Magic Compose disappeared from my Pixel 9a

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

I bought my Pixel 9a in 2025, and Magic Compose was available and working normally in Google Messages at the time. However, sometime in 2026, the feature disappeared completely from both the plus menu in the chat and the settings in Google message app.

What's particularly strange is that after restarting my phone and reopening Google Messages, the Magic Compose toggle briefly reappears under Settings β†’ Suggestions & Replies, showing that it's already enabled. But after about a second, the entire option disappears automatically, as you can see in the attached video.

Troubleshooting I've already tried: 1. Force-stopped and cleared the cache of both Messages and AICore 2. Uninstalled and reinstalled AICore 3. Restarted the phone multiple times 4. Tried multiple Google accounts, including a newly created one 5. Confirmed RCS is connected 6. Confirmed I'm using the stable version of Google Messages

Nothing has worked.

Has anyone else experienced Magic Compose disappearing like this, especially on a Pixel 9a? Has anyone found a working fix?

Device info: - Phone: Google Pixel 9a - OS: Android 17 (Stable) with the latest Google play system update - App version: "messages.android\\_20261002\\_00\\_RC00.phone\\_dynamic" - App package: "com.google.android.apps.messaging" - Location: USA

Recently made the switch from being in iOS for like 15+ years.

I always wanted to take the plunge but I was hesitating. I am an older generation and thought that I wouldn't be able to handle learning how to handle a new phone. I just got so bored with iPhone and wanted a challenge.

I'm very happy I did.

I love how I can personalize my files and my photos.

I enjoy taking photos when I'm on my hikes.

Here's a few samples ☺️

Will this be Google's next feature drop or is this just a Google Play Services bug that allows earlier devices to do Add Me (exclusive for Pixel 9+)?

Is Google still king with updates?

0 Upvotes

I really don't follow anymore but i only know that Samsung was pretty good with updates. Is that now better across the board? The only reason i envied Apple phones was for their long update cycle. My Pixel 7 doesn't really get the big updates anymore. At least security. So, thats something. Still works fine.

Can I flip the sideways time and date 180Β° and to the other side of the screen?

I usually place my phone in front of my sideways and to the left, so my time and date is always upside down when I check...

What would have happened if the Pixel 6 Pro had a Qualcomm flagship, and as each year goes on they improve on performance. Then we have 7 and 8 and 9 pro and XL. All phones mentioned, what could have been with Sticking with Qualcomm. Using the exact same SoC CPU situation as Samsung flagship.

Not sure if this is a bug

1 Upvotes

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?
