Yeah definitely I remember being totally fine watching YouTube videos on my phone speakers on my Nexus 6 and even my OnePlus 5t in the morning before school, but I have a hard time doing anything but tiktok on speakers nowadays, my p6 and my pixel 8 sound completely garbage…

Alright, perfect! The charging pad is also most convenient

I am fine with the battery needing replacement in general, I want to prevent it from getting warm often, so that it doesn’t bloat again when it’s put of warranty like my P6 did…

But it still quick charges and gets pretty warm until it reaches 80% and then continues an hour before the alarm :/

Same… It should really be a default or a regulation… It also annoys me how flawed the fair phones are as devices…

I am jealous of your experience :') I would love to love this phone

Ohhh thats such a useful resource! I’ll try it on my OP5t and if it works I might switch over and get rid of Google services finally

Edit: Oh graphene is pixel devices only? Dang… Might be tok risky for me then

Does graphemeOS give complications with banking apps?

Last time I used a custom ROM I was locked out of online banking, which is quite the deal breaker for me…

If it isn’t I might just give that a try

My phone history is

-samsung gamaxy S3 mini

-Nexus 6 (2014/15?-2017)

-oneplus 5t (2017-2021)

-Pixel 6 (2021-now)

So I don’t change out frequently either but I do think this will be my shortest time if using a phone this far.

Network connectivity is barely functional, I did look into having it replaced but I was told I couldn’t since it’s appearently not a manufacturing issue.

The battery lasts maybe 2 hours of screen on time, when I commute to work I have to charge before I get on the train home. It also overheats like crazy. It gets really uncomfortable in my hands…

The camera takes awfully oversharpened images, overuses HDR and everything comes out looking like digital noise.

The fingerprint scanner is awful. It is always faster to use a pattern to unlock my device. Often it doesn’t work at all and I’ve just disabled it now cause it failing to work kept locking me out of important apps.

Bluetooth connectivity keeps failing, and other basic functions like the led flashlight go unresponsive very frequently

With how awful my P6 is ageing I wouldn’t count on it…

Me not trusting pixel phones toast more than 2-4 years is the reason I still won’t buy another one. If I see people actually still use the p8 by 2030 I might buy one again.
