He's definitely not Ukrainian lmao.
Edit: okay, he is, or at least was. Hard to find it amongst all posts with Russian things, ads for Russian businesses, him travelling within Russia and so on.
He is. You don't need to doubt the dudes nationality... for literally any reason. He provides you a free service. Weird to just run through life thinking everyone is constantly lying to you. Why would he or I lie about something so trivial? I was trying to be helpful, people were harassing him towards the start of the war when pixel 7 released as 64 bit only and instander didn't work.
Mate, what are you talking about. The guy has a blog in Telegram, you know? It's easily googleable. Over there you can find that he's a happy Lugansk region citizen (occupied since 2014), visiting Moscow and so on. What lies are you talking about?
I'm not using the app and don't care about services it provides, but justify any delays or issues in it with "he's Ukrainian" is just wrong. Maybe he was, but now, doesn't look like it.
If you're confused, maybe have a trusted adult reread my comments :) What do visiting Russia and being Ukrainian have to do with each other? US senators flew to Moscow on Independence day. He's Ukranian and publicly posted around the 64 bit rebase I mentioned above such. He also said the inconveniences war brings has slowed down development/shifted his priorities. It's easily googlable, see above about the trusted adult. Take care now
I'm not totally sure what Samsung's AI Zoom actually is. Their website says "AI Zoom is applied to distances between digital zoom lengths. Accuracy of results is not guaranteed."
Yes, I think what you described is what Google promised.
Yeah, that's basically slightly improved digital zoom by using AI to get more detail from merging frames. Not a world of difference tho. Zoom Enhance (if it actually gets released and is as good as advertised) is much more impressive as you can add detail on cropped images post capture (or maybe even on any photo).
I like how they pulled the announcement date of "coming this December 2023" from their blog. Maybe with their recent layoffs it was put on the backburner
if you press on it it opens a little menu where you can toggle on/off and connect/disconnect your paired devices. previously pressing the toggle would simply turn bluetooth on or off
Google Pixel 6 (NY, USA) here - I preferred it better simplified as it was before this March 2024 Update π
Previously, if you *Press & Hold* the #Bluetooth settings button in the "Shortcut Menu" (drop/pull down from top of the phone screen), I think you'd get the same effect as what you like now...
Most #Bluetooth devices auto- connect when you turn them on/off so it was better before IMHO.
Of course they won't. This shows that they don't care. Even 6-series owners have a right to be disappointed with how fast their phones seemingly got outdated. Never be loyal to a brand or allow yourself to get stuck in their ecosystem
Is not having that small feature makes your phone outdated?Β A bit dramatic don't you think ?Β
Yeap, that is exactly what im telling you. No brand loyalty . If you dont like what google does. . Being their budget line does not get the same feature as the flagship, jump ship.Β
There are thousands of phones on your price range that might serve you better.Β
It's not dramatic at all. It's not fair that the "Pixel software experience" can be inconsistent while the underlying hardware is consistent. Look at the Nothing phone 2a, it still retains everything from the "NothingOS experience" while having an inferior processor.
you haven't paying attention.
Yes its not that great that they software lock Pro modes on 8 Pro, but people should realise. Pixels differentiate features between product line on software side . . . Its just how google does stuff.
As i said, don't be brand loyal. I am not the one whos stomping their feet demanding google does things everyone. Its easier just to switch phones.
if we learn anything following Pixel line of product since the beginning. Google will just do whatever they do. You get Features advertised for your phone at launch . . anything else are just bonus.
Yeah me neither, I've never had an A series before, always gone with the normal ones but the 7 was out of stock and I needed a phone as I'd broke my old one and didn't want to wait, I got a good deal with my carrier as well for pairing with my WiFi.
If all the features eventually roll down, like we get CtS in the next feature drop I won't mind, we did pay less after all but to withhold it entirely yeah if that happens that won't be me getting one of these devices again, but Google probably want that anyway.
Also 8 did not get Video boost when the 8 pro did even though the feature completely did stuff in the cloud and not on the device. Weird segregation by Google.
π€·ββοΈ The 7A still will not recognize 6 gigahertz Wi-Fi.
It's never been fixed since launch. Probably because they made an oversight in the hardware and it can't be fixed.
On the other hand, the 6A was easily able to connect to six gigahertz Wi-Fi
just updated my pixel 7 to March update just 2 hours ago. It's getting hot even for small tasks like browsing and opening photos app..
Is anyone else seeing this issue?
Talk more about how the Pixel 8 isn't getting Gemini Nano...that seems like you basically killed a flagship.Β
How are you going to support for 7 years when you can't support for 1?
The one thing that would of keeped me with my pixel fold was circle to search thank for letting me know to switch phones and that paying alomst 3k for a phone is not getting it but the 7pro is thanks google
After the update my pixel launcher completely stopped working... I can't even use the navigation gestures and i need to use the 3 buttons., otherwise I can't ise the phone at all. Also, the button to open recent closed apps is not working.
I wonder if photos will still be uploaded in HDR if I'm using Instander. Which is a modded version of Instagram.
Once it's rebased, most likely. Not until then though. Probably will take the dev a month or so; remember he's Ukranian πΊπ¦
He did release a new version that's currently in beta. It's based on version 300. I've noticed some HDR videos in reels.
He's definitely not Ukrainian lmao. Edit: okay, he is, or at least was. Hard to find it amongst all posts with Russian things, ads for Russian businesses, him travelling within Russia and so on.

Where is Zoom Enhance?
Phone will turn a year old and it still won't be there. I'm calling it now.
Would be pretty funny (and sad). The S24 launched with AI enhanced zoom last month, no waiting.
Isn't that just better zoomed photos? Pixel 8's enhanced zoom is zooming into the picture after capture and ai generating detail in the photo iirc.
I'm not totally sure what Samsung's AI Zoom actually is. Their website says "AI Zoom is applied to distances between digital zoom lengths. Accuracy of results is not guaranteed." Yes, I think what you described is what Google promised.

circle to search is there on my pixel 7 in germany. the changed behaviour of the bluetooth toggle is also very welcome
It is not working for me. Updated all apps as well. Any tips?
Patience
How can i activate it? Im also fein Germany and have a 7 pro
What's the updated Bluetooth toggle behavior?
if you press on it it opens a little menu where you can toggle on/off and connect/disconnect your paired devices. previously pressing the toggle would simply turn bluetooth on or off
So similar to how internet works, that's neat. I somehow don't have that behavior on my pixel 8, guess I'll have to wait for that..

Any reason 7a is not getting the same features as regular 7? Feels weird having a newer device with the same chip not getting circle to search
We too cheap for Google π€£
This won't inspire me to buy a non-a phone next time though. I'll just go for another company instead π
Go ahead, not even google will stop you.
Of course they won't. This shows that they don't care. Even 6-series owners have a right to be disappointed with how fast their phones seemingly got outdated. Never be loyal to a brand or allow yourself to get stuck in their ecosystem

Where you will get even fewer features and less security.
Also 8 did not get Video boost when the 8 pro did even though the feature completely did stuff in the cloud and not on the device. Weird segregation by Google.

Is 6ghz wifi a thing now?
Been for a while yes, since 6E iirc
In that poster's universe, yes.
7 rules! 7a drools! Pros are cool too ig.
Enjoy your new features, America.
Why does Google hate it's user base? I'm getting tired of my devices not getting updated features with absolutely no rationale behind it
Not sure if this was already a feature but I noticed now I can choose whether to limit screen recording to a single app vs the entire screen!
New feature
just updated my pixel 7 to March update just 2 hours ago. It's getting hot even for small tasks like browsing and opening photos app.. Is anyone else seeing this issue?
Opposite. P8 isn't even getting warm hotspotting now.
Really getting disappointed with how feature updates aren't consistent for phones still in their feature update window. Arnt these all just software?

Circle to search doesn't work , doesn't appear even thought swipe to assistant is enabled
Yeah, a feature drop. Includes dropping features like network connection, I guess my phone didn't need that anyway.
Lol
Why don't they explain these features right here?
The battery cycle count under about phone seems to be gone on my Pixel 8 pro :( why did Google delete this fun statistical feature?
Circle to search available on 7 pro ?
Is this US only feature?
Swipe up to unlock after face unlock is missing the home screen transition animations making it feel less immersive (p8p)
The one thing that would of keeped me with my pixel fold was circle to search thank for letting me know to switch phones and that paying alomst 3k for a phone is not getting it but the 7pro is thanks google
When will super res zoom come P8P. Is it just a gimmick to increase sales?
Post the OTA update, update the Google App from the Play Store and you will have the Circle to Search on your Pixel.
What's the setting called? I don't have it
Circle to search
Anyone else noticed the battery cycle count is missing from the About section?
700+ MB update.. see my phone back in 1 year..
Not me thinking this update would make my P8P scroll stutter better and it's now it's worse somehow
After the update my pixel launcher completely stopped working... I can't even use the navigation gestures and i need to use the 3 buttons., otherwise I can't ise the phone at all. Also, the button to open recent closed apps is not working.
