so weird how we all have different experiences. My pixel8pro unlocks way more reliably with the fingerprint sensor than my s24u (and of course p8p in a different class with its face unlock).

right! Because I have just the opposite experience. The FPS on the s24U is way better than my P8P. i used both phones over the weekend in some light rain and drizzle. The P8P struggled more than the S24U did in those conditions.

I would love for all Android phone makers to stop using FPS and develop FaceId similar to iPhones. I mean the facial recognition on my 15PM is flawless and woks in daylight and at night.

Wonder if this means the current assistant will be phased out eventually

Agreed S24 ultra FPS is better

There was talk the pixel was going to be a much improved one but wasn’t really the case

I love Face ID but when on a desk that’s where I miss Touch ID

I certainly thinks so… especially since there is a subscription behind it.

I plan on upgrading to Gemini Advance, but I’m waiting for them to support Family Plan subscription.

Does anyone know how to turn off this really annoying Google AI search thing that happens when you hold the bar at the bottom of the screen?

It keeps happening when I don't want it to and it's really annoying. Can't seem to find anything.

Settings --> System --> Navigation mode --> Gear icon --> "Hold handle to search".

Really dig your setups. Can you please tell me the exact widgets on the screen here?

And the wallpaper please.

Thanks.

All the widgets are from this pack. I just added some tweaks to them.

I will find the wallpaper for you in a bit!

Do you really need 1 TB though?

1TB is a lot in a phone tbh.

So I’m going to try and bow out from the smart phone hamster wheel I feel like I’ve been on for about 10 years (probably more ).

Recently I gave Samsung a shot with the S24 (never again), and I have had my 15 PM since launch with the 8 Pro and then 8 reg alongside.

I am now down to just one phone. The 15 PM and I am really enjoying using this device still. It’s not that I’m not enjoying the pixel as I love the phone, but I am finding the iPhone just wins out in lots of different areas for me such as music playback with DA, Apple CarPlay being infinitely better than AA on my BMW IX, and just overall app reliability which I won’t bore with but there’s a lot of instances for me where Apple apps just do a bit of a better job.

So this is me out I think. I’m going to keep popping in and will definitely be upgrading the iPhone and probably try the new pixel or the fold depending on when it lands, but for now, I’m a one phone guy. 😅.
Prob won’t last long, but I do want to try and give the iPhone a shot solo. I’m completely satisfied with it so far and have used it way more than the pixel since I have had both.

It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on why never again with the S24. Do the Pixel 8 Pro and iPhone work ok together? As in having 2 phones.

Wish I could just have one phone but my addiction makes it impossible

I could use one phone but then I would see myself buying the next thing every release haha ..two phone lines is a simple choice for me ..do I use one line for $50 a month or two lines for $70 ?

Wish you well my friend! Remember to go to the meetings! You can beat this addiction! The meetings are going to help a great deal!

Haha all I can’t think is that Simpson’s episode where Lionel Hutz is doing a trial and there’s a bottle of Bourbon and he has to run to the phone to call his support and he’s like “Hello David… I’m really tempted”. That’ll be me. 😂

In fact, here’s the clip. Replace bourbon with a new phone release. 😅
