I have a 7 and my missus has a 7a and she has the exact same problem. Sorry it doesn't help, but sounds like the a versions have an issue.

I went into apps, clicked the top right drop down to include system apps, scroll down to bluetooth legacy, click to clear cache. Then unpair and repair the bluetooth device and try again. Works every time now. Some people say that this fix only fixes for a set time then the issue comes back. Will see.

Thank you for this. I'll get the other half to check in the morning!

Has anyone had the October update yet ?

 

[Buckster]

nope - next week ?

loving my 8 Pro - battery life is plenty good enough (easily 24+ hours of use with 6.5-7 hours SOT)

camera is excellent too

Think the next update is android 15 on October 15th.

Off topic but wear OS 5 is still MIA on my pixel watch 1

I've had the pixel 8 almost a week now and here are my thoughts

Battery life has been great for me, but again I'm not a power user

Camera is amazing

Typing feels weird and not very responsive, making loads more typos than I was on my previous Samsung, maybe it's because the screen is smaller and I'm not used to it?

No back button, instead you have to swipe. Slowly getting used to it

Overall relatively pleased, but I need to get more consistent with typing, drives me crazy at times

Coming from a Huawei P30, the battery life for me doesn't seem as good on my Pixel 8. I could make my P30 stretch 4 days without a charge, but the Pixel 8 might only see 3 days before I need to charge it.

The gesture swipes, as others have also suggested, soon become intuitive. In fact when I use a phone without gesture swipes, I still find myself swiping.

Can anyone else here that owns a Pixel 8 try this out for me please. When I use the selfie cam, it flickers every second or so, as if the white balance is being adjusted, if you switch to 16:9 the issue goes away

I've not seen that problem on my Pixel 8.

anyone had Android 15 update yet ?

nothing for me yet - P8P

 

[IvanDobskey]

No sign of it here either.

I think updates usually come about 6pm UK time though?

 

[Simps]

Just checked and have nothing yet. Maybe later

 

[Buckster]

just noticed a load of UK Android 15 news articles posted - so must be about to be released

 

[Buckster]

it's out - just downloading on my Pixel 8 Pro now

 

[IvanDobskey]

Yep downloading now, 1.5gb

 

[Simps]

Same here, 1.5GB on the pro

15 all installed and the main thing I've noticed is the Instagram app needs some work to be compatible by the looks of it, skipping stories doesn't work (yes I know none of the grown ups on here would be seen dead using social media.)

 

[IvanDobskey]

Not noticed too much difference as yet...

 

[Simps]

The only thing I've seen so far is that all my notifications on my Fitbit Versa 4 say "Sensitive information hidden" No clue how to change that atm.

Pretty good deal that. The Mrs is considering a new phone to replace her pixel 6.
