Google Pixel 6/6 Pro

[reflux]

Just come back from France. Roaming with data worked fine on my P6, though a few times in restaurants or shops I got the dreaded (!) in the signal bar. Not sure whether that was a continuation of the signal issues people have had with this phone, or just rubbish French networks, or just being inside a big structure blocking signal.

The only thing I can think of that may work differently in the US specifically is that there are two SKUs of the P6 - one with mmwave and one without. If I understand correctly, the mmwave models are only sold in the US. But a UK model should work on US networks.

Sometimes, not always it will say, waiting to connect, tap for options, or not sent tap for options.

then i have 3 options, turn on data in device settings, switch to text(sms/mms) stop sending and delete.

Just now I sent a text to my mum which went find, min later I sent a text to a mate and I get the above.

What network? What phone does your mum and friend use too? Is chat features enabled for all phones in the messages settings?

It could be a RCS issue if the setting is turned on. Try turning it off and see if that helps.

EE.

No idea on their networks to be honest. It does it with other people too, work sometimes then don't work. Mates just received the last 3 texts I sent so no idea.

Chat features isn't enabled, should it be? If I'm not using WiFI or mobile data I generally turn it off, always have done for some reason.

It's fine to have it off, it just means EE is fully in charge of your texts, while chat features will send the message via RCS on Google's Jibe network, if the other phone also has RCS enabled.

I'm on BT Mobile which also uses EE's network but I don't have anyone to test texts with, we all use WhatsApp these days.

Ok thanks.

anyone know id the 6/6pro is compatible with the FreeStyle Libre 2 app/sensor ?

Latest update now available... 33mb.

 

[Richie]

It fixes the weak haptics as part of it according to reports.

I wonder if it will make notification vibrations stronger as well

I have a pixel 6 and have noticed around 30-40% of battery is being taken up by the mobile network in system usage tab on battery usage settings. Seems rediculously high given I'm averaging around 3hour SOT. Anyone else get this? Battery life is terrible and this looks to be the culprit

Mine is sitting at 27% (6 pro)
Mobile signal is not great where I am, so I reckon that is the cause.

Switch to 4G and see if that makes a difference

The option to switch the 4g is blocked by EE but 8 did manage to change this in some sort of secret menu. So far...no impact. What is everyone's else's mobile network usage like? Will be sending it back if I can't get a resolution

 

[Sinbad2000]

I don't think it's related to the data service, as I am on wifi pretty much all the time and still sitting on 23% mobile network usage (7 minutes, it says)

anyone know hoe to get in touch with google for a revised delivery date. Pixel 6 was meant to be delivery today by royal mail before 1pm. but Royal mail tracking shows they haven't even got the phone form Google yet

 

[Btone]

well got the pixel 6 pro, like the screen. love the camera, hate the fingerprint scanner.

didn't even realize how much i unlock my phone in the day as i was just so used to the pixel 4xl face unlock. it just worked for me. and was fast. it 6 just seem slow when it works, which i say is about 60% of the time, if i have the slightest bit of dirt on my fingers (and as a farmer i often do) it doesn't seem to work, some time it fail with one finger but works with the next. the finger scanner on the pixel 3 was so much better (and i also think it was in a better place).

 

[kona786]

Let's hope face unlock gets implemented sooner rather than later.

Rumour is its coming in the next feature update

Really? Oh God I hope you're right.

On the 6 pro only probably.
