Opera is by far the best mobile browser... just for the text re-flow alone.

Rendering of Web pages has been borked for weeks in Edge for me on my 7a. Wasn't fixed by the latest update.

None else seeing this? I frequently have to scroll down to the bottom of a Web page and back to the top again to ungarble the rendering, and that frequently doesn't stick.

Hmm seems you now get Fitbit premium included with Google one plans - nice freebie I guess!

And you get nest aware too if you use that. I just signed up for it and then upgraded to nest aware plus for £59.99 a year rather than £120 which it has gone up to.

No idea what that was until I got the email... Guess Google trying to cement people into their ecosystem!

I'm already stuck in it, might as well save some money

Just trying out a pixel 7. Is it possible to hide the minimise button on the keyboard? Wastes so much space.

Wasn't visible on my samsung

I prefer Swiftkey over the google keyboard...

Its really customisable..Ive made mine bigger than default, added 'show secondry key functions'

player · 28 Mar 2024 at 12:20

I will take a look, you see the small minimise button. Can you remove that in Swiftkey?

mattyfez · 28 Mar 2024 at 12:30

Ahh im not sure you can...you can make the whole thing smaller but then you r keys might be too small aswell.

I think there might be a bug with my Pixel 7 and sms.

It started happening about 2 months ago.

I first noticed a problem with delayed OTP sms.

I have figured out that if I restart my handset (I leave it on over night as I use it as an alarm clock) then the sms come through without delay.

But why does it need a reboot?

Does anyone's 7 pro not behave when it comes to turning off WiFi / Bluetooth?
Basically I'll turn off WiFi and within a few minutes it'll turn itself back on again. Same for Bluetooth. It's bloody infuriating!!

Have you got adaptive connectivity (I think that's the name or very similar) turned on in settings? Sounds like it could be that.

Thoughts on getting a Pixel Watch 2 right now? Thinking about getting one, mostly for fitness related stuff (I am not a nerd on this) and kind of torn between a PW2 or an Apple Watch and using Apple Fitness+ on my iPad.

My Pixel 7 Pro has just bricked itself, luckily it still has 3 months of the warranty remaining. The Google site is offering me the option to take it into an EE store for a repair, or send it back directly to them. Has anyone had any experience of either options and if one is better/quicker than the other?

I had to send my Pixel 6 Pro back for repair to Google, sent me a prepaid return pack and then they just sent me a refurb phone as replacement.
The replacement phone looked brand new and never had any issues with it.
It took five days from me sending the device, to them dispatching a replacement.
