Google Pixel 9 Series (9/9 Pro/9 Pro XL/9 Pro Fold & Pixel Watch 3)

sorry, double tap works to wake the screen, but not to sleep.
Just found there are a few apps available as a workaround, like this one:

One Click Lock Screen - Apps on Google Play

Simple app to lock the screen, it also supports unlocking with fingerprint.

play.google.com

I now have a transparent widget on my homescreen and a button in the quick settings, pull down.
They do require the accessibility permission though.

Ok, that's how it is on my Samsung now. I use Nova Launcher for the double tap to sleep

Thanks, I'll have to check out Nova again. I remember purchasing nova prime, but haven't used a third party launcher for years.

Here's the Google Pixel 9a's exact release date

And also the date when pre-orders start. The Google Pixel 9a has long been rumored to arrive earlier in the year than its predecessors, with the launch...

www.gsmarena.com

So, pre-orders will allegedly start on March 19, and the phone will start shipping on March 26 - which is also when it will become available in stores.

The Pixel 9a is rumored to come with a 6.28-inch OLED screen with 2,700-nit peak brightness, the Tensor G4 SoC, 8GB of RAM, a 48 MP main camera, a 13 MP ultrawide, and a 5,100 mAh battery. It will be offered in four colorways: Obsidian, Porcelain, Iris, and Peony.

Some great deals on at the moment via ID Mobile. Tempted to finally upgrade from my Pixel 5.
I was contemplating iPhone 15/16 Pro but having recently used a P7 Pro and seeing the camera and video is a big step up then can only imagine the 9 takes it up a notch or two more.

Finally managed to get an esim from O2.

Tried yesterday, but after requesting, they disabled my physical sim and issued an esim. But then I couldn't log into their app to download the esim because it wanted to send me security codes via text message which I was unable to receive due to the physical sim being disabled.
After calling again to have the physical sim turned back on again I ran out of codes yesterday (as apparently they only allow so many in a 24hr period) and could not log in again until this afternoon.

Today the agent swapped my contact details before doing the switch, so I could receive codes on my old phone/2nd number.
Then had to set up a hotspot so the pixel could connect and dl the esim. Sheesh..

You may be ok being based in London but the signal is terrible where I'm based. Can't wait til my contract is up later this year

Nice trade in...

Pixel 9 256gb £899

£899 - 25% discount (wife's blue light card) - £290 trade in for her nearly 4 year old S21 !!!.... = £384.25

Then another £75 cashback when spending £400 at Google Store with Amex card.... Plus 3% cashback via topcashback (£15 odd)

So effectively just under £300 for Pixel 9 256gb

Arrived today - I "upgraded" my Pixel 8 to the new 9, and she got my 3 month old Pixel 8....

Crazy deal

Google been doing these great trade in deals for the last few months now. Great deal indeed.

Though effectively your is 300 plus trade in... which is worth what... 100 quid at least?

 

[PapaLazaru]

For that difference get the 9.

Though I bought a Pixel 8 for Voxi new for £184 2 months back

Good work, I picked up one from Voda for £212. Absolutle steal.

The network did make me a bit wary as been with EE for over a decade.

I thought I'd damaged the phone last night.
Noticed what I thought was a chip in the camera bar glass
Started googling replacement glass, then searched for holes in the camera bar and found it's a small hole for another microphone, doh! lol
I've never seen a camera mic like that before, but glad i've not broken it already.

 

[M1k3H]

Noticed the same last month I think and started trying to 'rub it off' before realising the 'scratch' is very round, oh it's a hole for a mic!

 

[Pyr0m@nI@]{]

Yeah I did the same. At first i thought (hoped) it was a bit of dirt and tried to rub it off. Realised it wasn't dirt and was like "Noooo... not already"

20% off winter sale now on pixels.
For some reason trade in refuses to load for me though?

Oh, mine just did that to me too. I was curious how much it would cost from the of Pixel Watch to the 3.

 

[Firegod]

Is the Google Store estimate trade in checker working for others? Doesn't seem to want to load for me.

EDIT: Ignore - sprang back into life. Must have been a glitch.

 

[neoboy]

Trade prices seems the same and Perkbox still has 25% so think they just dressed the sale in different clothing.
