Used call screening for the first time yesterday, it worked really well. It was a call I wanted to take, but from an unknown number which was actually a call centre, but when I saw their response, I knew what it would be about, so took the call.

I've been using call screening for a while. It's a shame that it's not an app that I can download to my other phones as it's very handy for cold callers - you can see they hang up pretty quick.

Pixel 6a on Vodafone website for £189 as PAYG (+£10 air time).

Bit of a bargain at that price!

Considerable upgrade on my P3? Still works and everything, but the price is mighty tempting if it can keep me going 4.5/5 years like my P3 has...

Just got a Pixel 6 for the missus.

She's moved from a S10 with a pop socket on the back for better one handed use.

Purchased a pop socket for the Pixel 6 but it won't stick properly. The pixel 6 feels like a glass back.

Any ideas how to get a pop socket to stick to the pixel 6 ??

Thanks Ben

Usually for glass backs the pop socket should include a sticker that you stick on first. Alternatively get a skin for the back, then stick the pop socket on top of that.

Thanks I've ordered one direct from the web site see if it's any different from the one we got off Amazon.

Was wondering why other Pixel users already have the March update but seems the 6 series have been pushed back for next week to the 20th. A lot of promising bug fixes too, hopefully solves my wireless charging/battery share issue.

Faster night mode processing is a welcome one

Seems the update is late this month? No sign of it here.

Well, every Pixel user except those with the 6 series have it. We got pushed back for some reason.

A bit worrying as Samsung just announced vulnerabilities with the Samsung modem: https://9to5google.com/2023/03/16/google-exynos-modem-vulnerabilities/

7 is affected too but already patched thanks to the March update.

Thanks for the heads up on this. Hope the update comes next week then.

Google updates tend to drop around 6pm.

Orcvader · 20 Mar 2023 at 23:45

Update installed. 230mb for the pro.

IvanDobskey · 21 Mar 2023 at 05:59

I got it just after 6, 270mb I think

kona786 · 21 Mar 2023 at 07:00

Installed this morning. Glad to be all patched up.

Just noticed I don't have the new night sight yet, camera still on version 8.7.250. Seems to be a staged rollout for the app.

Wireless charging/battery share still borked but at this point I'm just waiting for the 8/Fold.

I've looked for the 8.8 apk but having no luck with a working install.

Does your wireless charging not work at all?
