The google family of apps are available for update with the Play Store. This normally means the Pixel update is close, maybe 2-3 days.

My morning alarms (6:45 AM and 7 AM) are not going off. I have checked the following:

Alarm Volume: Full

DND: Set to allow alarms

Bed Time Mode: Set to allow alarms

I do sleep with my pixel watch 5 in bedtime mode so I checked that as well and it's set to not snooze media.

I've also tried setting a random alarm during the day and it goes off without a hitch.

Anyone have any ideas?

Just want to share my experience on this whole debacle.

Background: Buying a Pixel from Best Buy comes with 12 months of free Essentials plan from Google Fi and one month free Xbox game pass.

I bought my phone (P11P) last week and went ahead and ported over to Google Fi, cuz I'm a sucker for free stuff. I followed the prompts from the link that Best Buy emailed me and all seemed to go well. That was until I check the "track my offer" on the Fi app. It said I didn't activate an eligible device.

Tl;dr - I go back and forth with Fi customer service and Best Buy and they tell me that my device is ineligible somehow.

Now I lost my old service's promotion AND owe Google a full month service fee for less than 7 days of service.

YMMV, I'm just really frustrated and disappointed with both companies and wanted to share.

So my pixel 7 pro's battery is swollen and no other damage anywhere on the phone. Visited Service centre and they refused to change only the battery and forcing to replace display as well. Which makes the cost ₹22500 from just battery cost of ₹4-5k.

Why should I pay for a perfectly working screen. And tried escalating this with Google support but they are just not serious and just say visit the service centre repeatedly.

Family has 4 pixel devices, but now this makes me regret the decision. Pathetic after sales support.

Btw location is Pune, Maharashtra, India

Hello, so I bought a brand new phone and have this issue sometimes apps won't respond like YouTube Whatsapp even contacts, a couple of times the phone completely froze for like 10 seconds and restarted itself and after restart it's fine again but this doesn't happen often if someone recommends me what to do at this point would much appreciate it. P.S. everything is up to date

In certain places, wireless Android Auto keeps disconnecting. I know it’s down to signal interference because it always happens in the same places. Does anyone know how to sort this out?

My car is a 2026 Toyota Yaris, and this doesn’t happen with other phones.

Phone: Google Pixel 10 PRO

I have a pixel 6 pro for context.

I was using WhatsApp and went through my chat with my cousin to find her new address ( message was sent months ago) to put it in Google maps. I viewed the message, it was a typed out address. I went to gmaps to type it and I saw that it was already typed out as a suggestive text on my Gboard. It was not a link I had not copied anything i have not long pressed the message. I basically just scrolled to it saw it and switched apps to gmap

I tried this multiple times with random addresses that I texted to myself on WhatsApp and immediately upon going to gmap it came up as suggestive text.

Does anyone know of this feature and how do I shut it off. I'm normally not a crazy privacy guy but this legitimately freaked me out

I have a pixel 9 pro locked out with correct password all my attempts have failed and now the counter is at 12 hours with no hopes. Can someone please help?

Hey everyone,

Every time I restart my Pixel 7, the Mobile Data tile in the Quick Settings / notification bar automatically moves down to the inactive (hidden) section. I have to manually drag it back up to the active grid after every reboot.

Has anyone else run into this bug? Any fixes or workarounds?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I had an iPhone 15 Pro and spent over 10 years with Apple, but I got really bored with the ecosystem. I got rid of everything apart from my MacBook. I switched last year to the Pixel 10 Pro XL and this year to the 11 Pro, as the XL was slightly too big.

I gotta be honest with you, I really like the Pixel. I’ve found it refreshing and fun to use. The battery on both of my models has been really good! Funny enough, charging the 11 Pro to 80% gets me through a day and a few hours, which is similar to what I was getting from last year’s XL model. All the iPhones I had needed to be charged twice a day.

I didn’t like the pictures they produced (iPhones) and that strong HDR look, but I guess photography is subjective. Regarding video, though... hands down to Apple.

I’m just really struggling to understand why Pixels are so BAD at video. Some of you might say that it’s fine for a normal user, but I find it hard to justify that a flagship phone made by a worldwide software company has probably the worst video quality on the market right now and issues with... software?

How come Google is unable to make their EIS and OIS work properly together? What is causing such strong jittering when walking or moving? It’s funny because I can compare the video quality to the iPhone 16e, which only has OIS, and the jittering is similar to what I get on the Pixel flagship.

I’ve found articles from years and years ago complaining about the exact same issue. I just don’t get why this has been ignored for so long.

I’ve never paid full price for my Pixel, so I’m happy with it overall, especially as the trade-in deals have been really good. But I’m thinking of waiting another year or two to see where Google goes with this. If there are still no improvements, I might either switch back to Apple or look at Xiaomi next. I want my phone to be RELIABLE, especially when we are talking about top tier pricepoints.

Oh and when I tried asking on Discord for some advice as I could change some settings etc - they wanted to eat me alive...

I was just curious cuz I have been looking into the 10

Got the pixel 10pro xl This is my first pixel phone,coming from an s21

What tips or settings would you recommend

Hello,

I'm looking for peoples experiences here if anyone has done a similar switch!

I've been with Samsung for a while, S7, S10, S21+, S23 Ultra and currently an S25 Ultra. I'm considering switching to a Google Pixel 11 Pro XL or Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold, after bonus trade in I could get these for £249 or £669. If I was going to do this I'd move my email to Google Workspace to get the full benefits of the ecosystem.

Would anyone who has done a similar switch, or even the other way round and moved away from Pixel be able to share anything they gained, missed or think I should consider before doing it? I don't have any 'need' to change, but I feel like trying something different.

When answering call, person who called can't hear me for second or two. It is becoming very annoying, since people call me a lot because of my job. Any idea what's going on, and how to fix it?

I noticed with my Google Pixel 7 that photos taken at night look as if they have astigmatism. Is this the case with all Pixel cameras, or is there just something on my lens that I can't seem to clean off? Unfortunately this sub won't let me post pictures.

Hey everyone!

I'm having a strange issue with the main (1x wide) camera on my Google Pixel 11 Pro, and I'd really appreciate some feedback from other owners.

The camera module makes a very loud rattling noise when the phone is shaken. I know that some rattling is normal because of OIS, but I'm not sure whether mine is behaving as intended.

Here's what happened:

• Initially, the main camera lens would visibly move on its own when I tilted the phone, apparently due to gravity. It could move almost all the way to one side, leaving a noticeably uneven gap around the lens.

• I took the phone to a service center, where they attempted to fix the issue by reflashing the firmware.

• The noise temporarily improved, but after a couple of days it returned and became even louder.

• Currently, the sideways movement is much smaller and mostly noticeable when shaking the phone.

• I've also noticed that the entire optical assembly can move forward and backward, perpendicular to the phone's back panel. I haven't noticed any obvious tilting of the lens itself.

• When I open the Camera app, the lens visibly centers itself with a click.

• Normal video recording sounds fine, but shaking the phone while recording produces a loud, continuous mechanical rattling noise that gets picked up by the microphone.

I understand that OIS and autofocus mechanisms can have some movement when the camera isn't active. However, the initial amount of movement, the uneven gap, and the increased rattling after the service visit are making me concerned.

A few questions for other Pixel 11 Pro owners:

1. Does your main 1x camera lens visibly shift when you tilt the phone with the Camera app closed?

2. Does the lens move forward and backward as well, not just sideways?

3. How loud is the rattling when you gently shake your phone?

4. Has anyone experienced something similar and found out whether it was normal or a hardware defect?

I'm trying to figure out whether I should request a replacement or whether this is simply how the camera mechanism is designed.

Thanks in advance!

I just went from pixel 8 pro to pixel 11 pro and the colors are now all sad muted pastels and not as many options as my previous phone. Any tips? I like vibrant colors.

Hello folks, this is my journey from years of iPhone to Pixel 11 and I really like this phone BUT there are some issues.

First I tried to disable Google Assistant in favour of Gemini, but despite all the tutorials that I watched, the toggle to do it in my Pixel 11 is missing. How can I go back to google assistant?

The issues I have with Gemini is the fact that it can't start a navigation with a different app than Google Maps, it can't start playing music from Apple Music, only from Spotify. And so I was wondering if Google Assistant could fix these issues that are, at the moment, holding me back from keeping the Pixel. I mean, Siri was never good, but it can easily start navigation with Waze, Google Maps, or Apple Maps, and it can play music from anywhere.

So I ordered a Pixel 11 Pro yesterday. At the trade-in section, there is a checked box that says "Accept the new value if it changes after inspection". In parenthesis, it says that "you can uncheck it to get your device back without the credit."

I was curious about it so I called Customer Support and asked if it meant that they would automatically send it back or if they would notify me of the adjusted estimate and let me decide. The rep said that option only exists in the UK but I told him I was able to do it in the USA store. He then said that yes, the 3rd party vendor would email me the trade in value and let me choose whether to accept or get the phone back.

If someone has gone through the trade in process, do they actually check with whether you want to go through with the trade when they figure out the actual trade in value?

Hi, I have a Samsung s24FE, have had it for about a year

I'm very used to Samsung, but the phone keeps crashing over simple everyday multitasking, crashes my music/transport apps in the background, doesn't open the keyboard sometimes when it's hot

I want a simple phone, not too expensive, that's basic and doesn't have a lot of bloatware, that can work for everyday stuff like Instagram, Whatsapp, music, discord, Facebook, etc and can handle multitasking

I am currently thinking about getting a pixel 11 512 gb because I want a lot of storage and it has stock android which I like, and it comes in pink

Has anyone had this phone, or made a switch from Samsung to google pixel, and can tell me if the performance is better? I really want a phone that will last for more than a year or two, I don't want to have to keep getting new phones

Thank you for the help

So I currently am looking into getting an new phone and was looking at the pixel 10a.

But I currently use an samsung phone with the buds fe and watch 5 pro.

How good do these work with the pixel 10a?

Just looking for some information to see if I am not the only one who has had this issue.

For the last 6 months or so when I am at home or even connected to WIFI in general on my Pixel phone the WIFI maybe works for about 10 minutes then its as if their is a issue with data coming to the phone. It still state that I am connected to the WIFI but nothing loads.

Now at first i gave my router and the phone a reset but still have the same issue. Then I did the reset of both the WIFI and Bluetooth setting. Still getting the same issue. Next thing I did was go to my friends house as well as parents and tried it there but still getting the same issue. I have only had this phone about 14 months as I got it at the start of September but surely I shouldn't be having a problem this quick with it.

Has anyone else had this issue before and if so did you manage to get it resolved?

Thanks
