I added my right thumb 5 times and not having issues. Personally I have no idea why they did not leave it on the back and use the one in the p5 which was quick and flawless.

That's what I've done.. It has helped a bit but it's still rubbish.

Might be because I'm used to the one on the OP7TP but the FP sensor has been mainly fine for me. What bothers me more is the phone seems to be asking for a pin lock instead after it's been "manually locked". I don't even press the power button to turn off the screen that often and instant lock has been disabled.

Android Auto is working again following the new update.

Kept getting told to try another cable but the cable worked on my Pixel 6 last week and was fine on an S21.

Still playing up for me today was ok yesterday, but today has disconnected twice on 10 min journeys, didn't have this issue with the P5 on same cable. Granted it has improved from last weekend.

Pixel 6 is only £441 from Vodafone outright or Currys seem to be price matching to save you the credit check with Voda.

Just read over at hotukdeals.

I hope to start seeing all these Pixel 6’s out in the wild soon given how many people seem to be buying them given the deal above.

Oh, you had my hopes up. I thought there was something useful from Google about the FPS then

Seems like they are just blustering and don't really know.

Probably like most companies on social media it will be an outsourced 3rd party with a database of stock answers that wrote that reply

Hmm that's odd, mine definitely only asks for a pin if I've powered it off and back on. Wonder if there is a setting somewhere, I can't see anything obvious.

I find it does this if you Swipe the screen before unlocking it. If you relock the phone and then tap the screen again, the fingerprint sensor will show again

Had a weird issue a few times now where after unlocking the phone, all my icons are hidden. I have to mess about swiping a few times to get them to show up.

My lad has just picked up a p6, we have looked through the setting but cant seem to find any audio settings like on my samsung, ie dolby or equalizer settings, does it not have them or am i blind?

I don't think it has them. You'll need a 3rd party app. I use EqualizerFX Pro

That's the weird thing, I'm not even swiping, I'm instantly placing my thumb on the FPS. There is a Google support thread on it but no acknowledgement from Google themselves: https://support.google.com/pixelpho...quired-and-locked-manually-notification?hl=en

Found another issue, HSBC doesn't work. Considering they last updated their app back in 2020 I'm not expecting a fix any time soon...

That voda deal is not as straight forward as it looks. A lot of faff involved which most people will avoid.

This phone will need to be a massive hit before its widely seen in public. So far I don't think they've had much of a successful impact.

Does Google Pay still work with your HSBC card though?

HSBC app works fine for me.

You sure you're running the correct app? They've migrated to per country apps. The UK one is this.

The only issue is that it currently isn't officially android 12/pixel 6 compatible.. mine is installed and works perfectly fine tho. You're probably running their old unsupported app.
