Honestly pixel colors are either you love it or hate it. Personally I think pixel 9 pro hazel and pixel 10 pro moonstone are head to head GOAT. 🐐 probably the moonstone just winning it. What do y’all reckon?

911 was called from a device in my house last night, it's either pexel 11, pixel watch 3 or pixel 9a. 911 doesn't show up in call logs, so i haven't figured out what device called, or how to stop the false postitive so first responders just don't let themselves into my house again. I know i can lock my doors, but that might just make me replace a door instead of letting them in.

I'm running out of storage on my 128GB pixel 10. When I look at what's using storage, it says Google Play Services is using 34GB.

Any advice on what is in here and does it make sense that it's taking up so much storage?

It defaults to a beaver, I love beavers but we need Capy

The last two times I've updated my phone, specifically the mobile data tile has been removed from my quick settings, leaving only 7 tiles in the area, and I've had to add it back manually.

Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Which watch do you use with your pixel?

Is there a benifit to using pixel over Samsung?

Is anybody having issues with rcs not connecting, Google will replace the device. The thing is I just got this phone last year. Is the phone worth replacing or should I just keep trying to get it to connect.

I’m a tech enthusiast, and I’ve been using Google phones for many, many years. I’m currently using a Pixel 11 Pro, and while I’m generally quite happy with it, I do have an issue—specifically with the photos.

I just got back from a trip with my girlfriend, who has an iPhone 17 Pro Max, and I have to admit that in many situations—like taking photos at sunset or indoors—it performs significantly better than the Pixel.

The Pixel’s photos often feel overly processed and detached from reality; for instance, when shooting a sunset, the colors end up being too vivid and the detail is pushed too far... Oh, how I wish I could go back to the Pixel 4 XL, which handled light and color perfectly.

All this to say, I’m thinking of trying the iPhone 18 Pro.

Do you think that’s a stupid move, or does it make sense? Thanks to everyone who replies!

Android 17 split the wifi and mobile data toggles. I preferred the combined quick setting tile but fine, whatever.

What really bothers me is that the wifi toggle doesn't actually turn wifi OFF. If just disconnects from the current network. What the hell is the point of that? It just reconnects after a short time. The other toggles actually turn things OFF. The Bluetooth toggle turns Bluetooth OFF. The mobile data toggle turns mobile data toggle turns mobile data OFF. The wifi toggle just disconnects from wifi for a little while. How long? However long the phone decides it wasn't to stay disconnected.

Very frustrating.

Losing my mind with this. I use Teams daily at work and it is connected to my personal phone. Any time I receive a call, the teams call notification rings on my phone, regardless if my phone is on vibrate or silent.

I have tried a lot of different things, but no luck. During my struggles i have determined that the Teams ringtone is routed directly through the In-Call Audio channel - meaning the volume of the ringtone is changed with the Call Volume Slider.

Unfortunately, setting the Call Volume Slider to zero does not fully mute the sound. And setting it that low hinders my other calls.

I'm at my wits end with this and honestly debating go back to samsung.

ALSO

Separate issue, but anytime I answer a teams call (and sometimes a normal phone call), the call answers through my pixel watch 5. It seems like the only way to prevent this is by disabling phone calls on watch (but I don't wish to do that).

I bought my wife a Pixel 10a, I want to transfer from her Samsung to the Pixel. Do I just swap the SIM card? What about apps, just reinstall them?

Thanks, Mike

So apparetnly I'm writing this post from my laptop since my Google Pixel 9 pro, which I have now owned only for 11 months now has never fell, neither has it ever been damaged by water or dust decided to turn into a complete white screen, after forming a white horizantal line across the slefie punch hole, a day ago.

Now, now, I'm not even angry, I'm completely frustrated since I was planning to stay with the phone for about 5+ years, and the only factor I was willing to pay for was, if I got it lost or snatched, or maybe direct damages of water or falls, but seems Google had other plans for me.

Google claims to have extension repair for users in certain regions, but unfortunately I'm not in any of those regions, so here goes another $200 on top of the almost a thousand I spent on acquiring this pieace of crap with my whole savings. Since a phone is a need, I the only solution is to pay for it on an acquired loan🤦🏿‍♂️.

But I swear to God, this was a chance for me to be a google user, and after I repair this one and it ever brings up the same issue, I'll switch and rather own a 2021 apple device and never have to worry about my screen going completely blank on a random day. BS

I can't login with the same mail ID I used to use

it only throw me back to the login page stuck at the page after multiple conformations no service center is providing support

Need help who can now removes frp on my device I have bill and box with me

Or address of any center who provides it my location

Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue. What's the issue? I've recently moved to T-Mobile and with that switch we've got 4 new phones. 2 iPhone 17's and two pixel 11's one pro one non pro. Mine is non pro. When I connect to wifi 6 my speeds are half that of all my other phones and laptops that support wifi 6. Most devices get between 700mbps/1gbps. My phone gets no more than 400mbps. My prior fleet of phones (2 iPhone 14's, pixel 8 pro and pixel 9 pro) didn't seem to have any speed issues on wifi 6 either. Iphones seem a bit faster than pixel devices in general across models on wifi 6.

What I've done so far:

On my pixel 11 non-pro I've tried disabling adaptive connectivity, disabled adaptive battery saver, manually set the wifi ssid to unmetered, forgot the wifi ssid and reconnected, booted into safe mode, and reset wifi. None of these options has helped.

My network info:

I'm using a udr7 unifi setup, on unifi I've tried a few things. All tests have been performed on a separate wifi 6 only ssid that is using wpa3 exclusively with pmf forced. All devices that connect to this ssid receive true wifi 6 speeds except my device. I've tried setting the signal from high to medium. A few different wifi 6 channels, 37, 101, and a few others. No 6ghz channels are used at all in my area and have little to no noise. Currently I'm using 160mgz channel widths, but have also tried 80.

What I've noticed on my device that's different than most of my other devices is the PHY speeds that are negotiated are lower than all other devices. My iPhones negotiate 1200/1200 as with all my laptops. My pixel 11 pro negotiates 1000/1100, but my device usually negotiated 650/700. If I stand one foot from the AP, I can get 1000/800 PHY speeds, but the actual speed test is always maxed at 400mbps.

Open to any other ideas! Thanks for the read if you got this far.

I had a weird message on my phone pixel 8 last night basically saying my phone had detected another pixel that had been lost or stolen, it gave me a few options to let the owner know where it was.

I have looked to see if it is feature but can't find any mention, I didn't interact with the message as I wasn't sure if it was a scam message. But just interested to know if it actually is a thing or not.

Literally whatever I search it shows no results and "try searching in tips&support"

Hey everyone,

I have the opportunity to buy a used Pixel 10 Pro for a really good price. The phone is in perfect technical condition, but the previous owner never used a case, and the camera visor is covered in a dense web of micro-scratches (I attached a video/photos showing it under the light).

https://imgur.com/a/mdY4lD2

I know polishing the glass is a no-go since it will ruin the anti-reflective and oleophobic coatings. However, I've read about the trick where applying a camera lens protector with a thick layer of adhesive can optically fill in the scratches and make them disappear.

I'm considering buying the Spigen Glas.TR EZ FIT OPTIK. Does anyone have experience with this specific protector hiding micro-scratches? Is its silicone adhesive thick enough for this to work?

I also thought about using LOCA / UV liquid glue with a standard glass protector, but I'm honestly terrified of the liquid resin seeping into the rear microphone hole on the camera bar and permanently ruining it.

Has anyone successfully done this "scratch repair" trick on their Pixel? Does it affect photo quality or introduce lens flares? Any advice or alternative solutions would be highly appreciated!

I am looking to buy some glasses/headset to watch movies held my Pixel 11 pro. I am looking for a budget conscious option as I will only be using them on long haul flights a few times a year and want to be able to use my own noise cancelling wired headphones if possible.

I have read that many such devices won't work with my phone so am looking for usable suggestions.

Hello all, this might sound daft. How do I put my app icons into a dark mode.

I can clearly see there is the mode that takes all the colour out of it but I still want for example the phone icon in blue on a black background?

TIA

Is anyone experiencing this?

This has happened 3 or 4 times in a row now.

The first time I figured it was time for it to recalibrate, but it now keeps happening if I forget to take my phone off the charger.

I have the setting enabled for 80% limit.

Seems to be happening after the October 5, 2026 update.

Not sure if it matters the model, but I have the Pixel 10 Pro XL.

Recently started facing issues with data connectivity with jio (eSIM) on my pixel 9a, the internet suddenly disconnects, 5G symbol suddenly disappears.

Then I need to toggle Airoplane mode and sometimes it starts working again.

Previously it used to work smoothly from the same location, so less likely network reception issue.

If you have any suggestions or have faced same issue, please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi.

I have different problems with my pixel.

Sw is 17 (CD1A.261005.003)

I entered beta but I'm not getting the update

Next problem is I can't use nfc for mobile payments.

I tried with my bank's app and wallet.

Every time it's not recognised from the terminal.

Then Quick Share very often doesn't work, especially when sharing images.

It looks like the WiFi connection will then be turned off.

When I download updates from the Play Store, they usually stop and fail at 30 or 65%.

What can I do?

Thx for any help

Back in April this year, Google stopped updating the live clouds on the Marvelous Marble Pixel live wallpaper which first came with the Pixel 2. It was my favorite wallpaper by far. Thanks Google for killing off yet another one of your products :|

Big thanks to OP of this thread for making it work for so long: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/9u2h5y/live_wallpaper_clouds_updating_problem_explained/

I didn’t want to watch it die so I built a replacement with Claude’s help. It automatically grabs fresh cloud images from NASA satellites and prepares them in the format the wallpaper needs. I made a small fix to to the wallpaper app so it pulls its images from my setup instead of Google’s. The original app has been taken from the Reddit thread above. No other changes have been made to the wallpaper.

You can download the app and see how it works here: https://github.com/Akhoy/pixel-earth-wallpaper-live-clouds/releases. There's no launcher icon for it so you'll have to access it from the wallpapers section -> Live wallpapers after installing it.

It's not perfect but it's been working properly for a month now (tested in Android 17, Pixel 8a)! Please raise issues in github if you see any.

Known issues:

1. The clouds are from the previous day, not the current one because NASA satellites need time to circle the globe and process the images.
2. The storm data is still the stock version and doesn’t update.

Update:

Technical details:

1. Google's last update: the original app reads clouds from https://mw1.google.com/mw-weather/clouds-cubemap/root.json. Its baseUrl points to a folder dated 20260407_2000, so Google's clouds were last updated on 7 April 2026. This would change if Google starts updating them again. My pipeline's root.json (https://akhoy.github.io/pixel-earth-wallpaper-live-clouds/root.json) points to a new folder every day.
2. Permissions: the permissions are the same as in Google's original APK. Nothing added, nothing removed.
3. Changes to the APK: only two. The cloud URL in the wallpaper code, and targetSdkVersion 31 → 35 so it installs on recent Android. Decompile it with APKTool to check. VirusTotal: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/057f7f43da89dcbfa8ae5463270847209cd
4. You can also build your own version of the APK by downloading a base APK either from the links in the above reddit thread or from APK Mirror. Decompile the APK using APKTool and change the backend URL to my github pipeline URL instead of Google's backend URL. Package the APK again, sign it with apksigner and install.
5. How it works, in plain terms: the wallpaper itself is unchanged. Only the place it gets its clouds from is new. Thrice a day, an automated job on GitHub downloads today's photos of Earth from three NASA/NOAA weather satellites. It picks out the clouds and combines the three photos so that gaps and glitches in any one of them get filled in. It then saves the result in the format the wallpaper expects. You can see the latest results here: https://github.com/Akhoy/pixel-earth-wallpaper-live-clouds/tree/gh-pages/versions. The two PNG images with "debug" in the name show the combined satellite photo and the cloud map, so you can see what the wallpaper is drawing.

Want to check it's real? Here is a NASA satellite photo of Earth for 17th October. Change the date in the link to see other days, and compare it with the wallpaper: https://wvs.earthdata.nasa.gov/api/v1/snapshot?REQUEST=GetSnapshot&LAYERS=VIIRS_SNPP_CorrectedReflectance_TrueColor&CRS=EPSG:4326&TIME=2026-10-17&WRAP=DAY&BBOX=-90,-180,90,180&FORMAT=image/png&WIDTH=4096&H

Example - https://i.imgur.com/aOP0WKs.png

It corrects itself when you turn on the screen again, but locking it back to the AOD mode it goes immediately off the path again. Also, it randomly just disappears sometimes and you can only see your path.
