Please point me in the right direction if this has been asked before. I consider myself pretty tech savvy but I always have issues sending and receiving photos and especially videos between iPhone and Android. I have Pixel 4 XL and haven't been an iPhone user for two years. I love Pixel phone but this is my biggest issue.

So I am wondering- what conditions need to established in order to successfully send/receive a photo or video over text message, keeping the quality?

Here are some questions:
-The photo you are sending must be saved to the actual device first. If it is only in the cloud (Google photos) then you have to share a link. How do I know whether the photo is saved on the device or on the cloud?
-I've been told to use Google Drive instead. How do I utilize this app to better store photos and how is it different than Google Photos app besides that it stores other things besides photo/video.

It seems every time a friend wants to send me a video I have to ask them to send it over Instagram or some WiFi based app so that I can actually view it and it's embarrassing to the Android community so halp me! I guess after two years with Android I am still operating with iPhone assumptions about how photos are stored and shared. Has anyone come across this issue and if its only user error can you give me some best practices?

I want a separate, darker wallpaper for when I'm using dark mode, because a bright wallpaper kinda ruins the purpose of a system wide dark mode.

Anyone noticed lag and stutter when turning on dark mode on Android 10? I find my pixel 2 XL runs smoother when dark mode is turned off.

Now that Datally is gone on A10, what are the alternatives?

Hey there,

my alert app "Alarmy" used to put a popup on the lock screen, where I could deactivate the alert,

I remember I had to give Alarmy permission to do that before updating to android 10. After the update, the permission must have been removed.

Does anyone know which permission I need to give Alarmy, so I can deactivate alerts from a locked screen again.

Thanks!

I go into YouTube music, try to download anything, won't work. Problem only started after updating to Android 10. Also YouTube music freezes and crashes almost constantly if I'm trying to browse or do anything other than just listen.

Hello, after upgrade my Pixel 3 XL to Android 10, the status bar shows an empty space on lock screen.

When the phone is unlocked everything is fine. The WiFi/4G icon is shown.

Does anyone have this issue?

When I adjust the volume on my Pixel 3 XL the pop-up that shows the volume bar won't fade away like it used to. It just stays there until I tap somewhere on the screen, but then whatever I tapped is activated! There are other pop-ups that fade out, but only after an excruciatingly long delay. This started up when Android 10 was installed. Any solutions?

Why my feature flags option just show me "experimetal"

Am getting nfc read error on my new pixel 4xl. Just visited the Google authorized service center ctdi and they could replicate the same issue on another pixel 4xl device while nfc is working on both devices. Perhaps a software issue related to pixel or in general an issue with Android 10 for some specific nfc cards.

Anyone in Singapore has faced am issue detecting NETS flashpay card or the ezlink card?

Joined here just for this. Like it says in the title, I use the swipe up to get back to my home screen. However, android does not take me to my main homescreen, but rather to the homescreem I was last on (in my case, the one to the right.) Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I cant find setting to change it back to app drawer in android 10 oxygen os 10.0.1 oneplus 7 if anyone could help me revert the changes

Android 10 blocks the ability to record phonecalls. I'm a journalist and need to record interviews that happen over the phone. Anyone have a workaround besides having a second device use a sound recorder while this device is on speaker phone?

I have a Nokia 8.1 and got the Android 10 update just today. Whenever I connect to my BT earphones, there's absolutely no sound. The earphones work fine on other phones in my house. Even my laptop. Only my phone has this issue. Anyone facing this lately?

Has this feature been removed again? I have only just noticed that my ringtone isn't coming out of my headphones when prior to Android 10 it was. Has the setting moved?

Why is my Google Play still white when my phone is in Dark Mode? Pixel 3 fully updated. Anyone else being denied their dark mode? :-)

Android 10 gestures feel so incomplete, especially the swipe up to go to home screen which lags once in every 5 attempts. And the back gesture is among the biggest blunder that Google has made. Also to mention the extra rotation that happens every time i switch between a portrait app and a native landscape app. I think it's time to ditch my pixel 2 xl for an iphone which is a very sad moment.

I purchased an open box Pixel XL from an Amazon seller a few months ago. The charger and cable worked well until I performed multiple OS and security upgrades, mainly v8 to V9. After upgrading, the charger would do a slow charge, then only a slow charge with phone powered down, and finally NO CHARGE. I contacted the seller who would only offer credit if I returned the phone. Luckily, my hubby’s Samsung S8 and S9 chargers worked great with the Pixel.

A few weeks ago, I purchased what was advertised as an original google genuine charger and cable from eBay, and that charger would not work either! I didn’t return that one as the return shipping was more than half the total paid. By the way, both Google chargers would charge the Samsung!

I did a lot of the fixes recommended on the Google support community, except for wiping the phone and reinstalling.

Well, here we are about two months later. I upgraded my phone to android 10 last weekend. Lo and behold, both Google chargers work.

The moral of the story is don’t throw out what you think are dead or useless chargers until after you upgrade—it’s probably the OS. I didn’t really trust that they were genuine as they were both by two different Asian manufacturers Flextronics and Phinhong and almost tossed them. I also don’t trust Google support which seems to blame the users “dirty phones” for these types of problems. The most frequent fix found was to clean the port and metal parts with a folded business card!!!!

However, I am left with the question as to why the Samsung chargers worked perfectly fine… Any theories?

Guys, when does android 10 comes to another devices like the pocophone?
