Would this charger work for fast charging?

I've tested charger. It only manages 19W as its not pps.

Even tested a 45w PPS charger and it managed 22W.

Yep, I've always preferred it on the back, works perfectly as my finger just naturally falls to that position when I pick up the phone. Then again some people moan about it being on the back as you can't unlock it when it's flat on a desk, so I think there are mixed views on this.

I'm finding it very reliable at reading my finger print so far, if a tad slow compared to my old physical one.

I'm one of the latter.

This would be an almost instant no with a rear fingerprint sensor.

And Yes (coming from a 5)

Thanks

Not really a Pixel 6 specific question, but are there any known fixes for a WhatsApp restore from Google Drive getting stuck at 0%? I've reinstalled WhatsApp and tried to restore again but it didn't help.

I've had a look online and there are loads of references to the restore getting stuck at 24% or 100%, but not 0%.

Just had mine delivered. Pretty good going from Google, ordered Sunday and turned up Wednesday.

Very tempted to get a fitbag leather sleeve for this, had an ikonic edge sleeve back when I had my iPhone 3GS and loved it. Will also be on the lookout for a super slim shell style case but there doesn't seem to be much choice for these.

Mine from the Google Store has been delivery from the 27th since I ordered it. Still no shipping updates. Wonder if it will come today.

Not heard anything from Curry's since my initial confirmation of the p6 pro 256gb.

Their webchat says to just way for a delivery email but it's not looking that promising for "by the 28th"

Do you still have the old phone? Copy over the database file and try a local restore.

When did you order, and have you not had a dispatch email? If not i'd probably be chasing for an update, i doubt it's been shipped without a dispatch email, or a delivery notification email.

Yeah I do. Thanks, I'll give that a try

Just got one. Gone to tomorrow now. A bit disappointed as it said 26th when it ordered then went to 27th until 5 mins ago and now tomorrow. Oh well worse things happen at sea!

My non pro will be delivered tomorrow, then I'll decide which (if any) I keep!

How do you test what charging speed you get?

So after almost a day of use the P6 is looking pretty good. However I'm getting these issues with the Always on Display:

Somtimes shows for an undetermined amount of time - then randomly stops showing
Sometimes doesn't show at all, but does show the gesture bar at the bottom of the screen (and only that)
Sometimes shows the fingerprint icon - but sometimes doesn't

Pretty odd. Is anyone else having the same issues?

There is a report on the pixel 5 thread like that, maybe a problem with Android 12 itself?

You've got 12+ hours left for them to despatch it today.

Yeah, I've had even worse issues with AOD on my P5 / A12.

I think the new AOD implementation for A12 is a bit of a mess right now and needs patching.

I bought the Anker 65 watt nano 2 gal charger. It is an amazing charger. Granted i also bought the matching cable from Anker also. but well worth the money. It wasn't much more money than the 45-watt version. A bit of future-proofing i thought. The cable you use with these new chargers matter also btw.
