...How to turn off 5G on the Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro (androidauthority.com)
In case anyone wants to turn off 5G. The article is for the 7, but it still applies to the 8.
There is another way to turn off 5G in the SIM settings, but some providers block that option. I am on AT&T and they block it. So in cases like that, you can use the service code like in the above link to disable it.

Thanks for the tip. I'm on a "flanker" carrier here which does not even offer me 5g, so why potentially use extra battery with the 5g setting on?
Pixel 8 Pro display is drastically more power efficient, ‘leaps’ ahead of Samsung & Apple
Google’s Pixel 8 Pro has, at least for now, the brightest display on a traditional smartphone sold in the United...

Looks good. It would look even better with the theme option on!
Also, Google should automatically hide the weather info in the At a Glance section when the actual weather widget is placed on the home screen.
Nova has plenty of good options always a great choice.. screen looking nice and clean..Using Nova Launcher 8 beta on mine not used Nova in years, had to edit the screenshot weather as it had my address on it.
Receiving my Pixel 8 today and need some advice on the best way to transfer all my data from my iPhone. I have been a long time iPhone user and my whole family has iPhones as well. Want to make sure that I transfer over everything correctly and also get an understanding how text will work since I have many group texts with iPhone users. Any advice?

Anybody having issues with media attachments not going through over RCS with the P8P? It will hang up and say "message delivers when {insert name} is online". I've noticed this occasionally on other devices but it tends to do it all the time on this one.
I just received this case from Amazon and it's gorgeous. That's if you're like me that prefers wallet cases. This particular case is PU leather. A nice feature of this case is that you can remove the phone from the wallet case so it becomes a slimmed down case without the need to carry CC's or cash.

If you search this forum you will find posts giving detailed instructions on what to do when you switch from iOS to Android.
Google has in the phone setup software to help you transfer your data.
You are going to go through a learning curve until you get used to a different way of using the phone. It isn't too bad and in some ways Android is more intuitive than iOS and will be easier to learn.
You will have to de register your phone number from your Apple ID and account. Otherwise you will have texting issues.
It is good to alternate operating systems every so often.
Good luck!
Interesting how one of two people disparage the photo capability of the Pixel 8 yet the rest of us are loving it!

I've taken 100,000 photos with smartphones. The Pixel 8 Pro is the best
Bigger sensors, smarter software, better experience.

Totally forgot to say, Google cancelled my Mous Super Thin order, so not sure what happened there and it's not been in stock since. Why is it so scarce?
Jeez, you're having a right old time of it with this case aren't you! 🫤
Hope they can sort it!
Yeah it's really annoying me now lol, between stock levels and my credit not working (even tried on a totally different item and my credit won't work) it's really putting me off using the Google store in future.
My 15 PM is killer in battery ..though I'm pleasantly surprised how much better the Pixel 8 Pro has handled and much better than previous Pixel
I have both and while the Pixel 8 Pro battery life is improved over the 7 Pro, I'm finding the 15 PM to have much better battery life. I probably get a couple hours more screen on time over a charge cycle
Yup yup. Same.
But the Pixel 8 Pro battery is sooo much better than the 7 Pro. Like I'm shocked by how much of an improvement I've seen.

Late, but still great, Pixelmas has finally arrived here in autumnal UK!
Still waiting for the Mous case to return into stock in the Google store & Bellroy case in transit.
Time to set up & remove my SIM out of the 15 PM into the Pixel 8 Pro.

I like those 2 case colors. My Bay colored Google case shipping to my house today.
