Pixel 6 First 25 Tips & Tricks

[@susancastledine6111]

Thanks. Switching from iPhone to Pixel is more difficult than I had imagined. Your tips have helped a lot.

[@akamanonthemoon]

Wow great video! I’m going from a iPhone to Pixel so these setting suggestions were great for my transition!! Liked and subscribed!

[@abarzua21able]

What is making u switch?

[@akamanonthemoon]

@@abarzua21able I use to always have two devices that I switched back and forth between from Android to Apple to keep up with each platform. I try to use speech to text as much as I can with iPhone though very frustrating as Siri is not nearly as good as Google Assistant is with these tasks. I might not even switch but rather add another line to have both!!

[@abarzua21able]

@@akamanonthemoon same. I have iPhone 12 pro max & Note 20 ultra. I love certain things about each of them, but i always find myself going back with Android.

[@Aegelis]

Very helpful! Thank you. This was much faster/easier/better than looking up one question as a time on the internet. Yes, I was searching for answers like it was 1999. Excellent pacing, easy to follow or stop and back up as needed. All the best & blessings be.

[@eeh10]

Great video 😊 Just traded in my iPhone 12 for this and I'm happy!

[@darrenrichards782]

Big thanks for putting this together, best hints and tips video I've seen. Applied almost everything you've recommended. First Pixel phone for me so your video got me 20 plus steps closer to getting the device just as I want It 👍

[@GinoWatch]

Just purchased this phone and this video was super helpful!!

[@jcout25]

I agree with most of your settings, except everybody reaaaaally should keep assistant turned off. Nobody wants Google to always be listening to everything they do. You're literally giving them permission to listen to and record everything you say around your phone.

[@ZachCollinsLife]

Super good video, I appreciate all the info! Quick question, isn't the double tap to launch supposed to work from the lock screen? Idk if I'm wrong or just doing something wrong lol

[@danjenson3351]

So just turn everything on and max it out? I prefer less.

[@FEISARCHASSISMK3]

At a glance is so good! I used my pixel 6 when I went away on holidays and it told me what gate to go to when I was in the airport, didn't need to check the flight numbers or anything; so handy!

[@John3one7]

Annnd my phone speakers just blew.

[@thedartdomain4197]

How?

[@jerrydellasala7643]

Would have been nice to specify which tips are exclusive to the Pixel 6/6 Pro and which are Android 12 features. I don't know for sure but seems like many are Android 12 and not Pixel 6 only.

[@jeffhale1189]

Thanks for the video. I appreciate your content. Blessings on your day!

[@wall-e7179]

Weird, I don't have resolution option in front facing video. Just 2 options, speech enhancement and selfie illumination.

[@wayneyg30]

Think that's for the Pro.

[@HugoBrown]

Thanks for tip's glad I found your video , I brought the Pixel6Pro at boxing day sales here in Australia , I am really enjoying the device and feel lucky I havent had any problems or issues which made me hesistant in begning to get. Using pure android is certainly different from Samsung One UI,

[@somethingelse25]

Great tips. Thanks! Subscribed!

[@mikearthur8129]

Great vid. No Earthquake setting for the 6. You don't recommend 16:9 for the front cam? When and why did Android get rid of the WPS setting for wifi? As a cable service tech, I used that feature every day. Is there an app I can use to connect to wifi with the WPS button? Pix 6 is my upgrade from the Blackberry KEYone! Lots to get used to.

[@MariovanPoppel]

Thanks for the tips! Keep on going.

[@bjetTube]

Thanks for the video. Helpful!!

[@nikolparvanova8931]

Me: thinking that I will return this bloody phone for not having the three home buttons GreglessTV: you can switch to 3-button navigation Me: whaaaaaat

[@jesse7631]

So basically, turn everything on so that your battery will last all of 37 minutes with you literally doing nothing with it. Got it.

[@stuartshaw200]

Super helpful advice, some features were driving me nuts

[@Stuarth638]

Thats really helpful, thanks.

[@robynkelley6054]

On my lockscreen the time takes up my whole screen,how do I get it looking like the In this video

[@underdahood9017]

Go turn on notifications on lock screen under the display settings, then turn on screen saver under display settings also.

[@RAVE_ZERO]

Thanks, it looks like you need to go on vacation to finetune all the settings and options there are to your likings ;-)

[@Tony.Montalbano]

Thanks for that. Is it possible to have a separate notification sound for SMS cuz I can't find my way around it. Also, can you change the navigation of the 3 toggles, back home? No dual clone apps!

[@apiazza70]

Great video. I am trying to use the sound features since I am hard of hearing. I want to set up the phone to flash when the doorbell rings. Does the Pixel 6 have that feature? I can't find it. I appreciate your help.

[@Goonsquad2012]

Question how ur feeling now are u still willing to leave ur sim in your fold 3 or u wanting to use a different device now since u got the pixel and duo 2

[@HikingFeral]

I got a pixel 6 Xmas eve and I'm really impressed, totally skipped all the bugs, I recommend Nova Launcher though, it's so much better than the default and is faster. I keep automatically turn WiFi on turned off because if you need to use data it will keep swapping to wifi

[@thejoshthat]

"you don't even gotta think about it bro" lol Ethan

[@SlowDIIV]

Universal search is not a new thing on Android. Although it's true it wasn't something native, alternatives such as Sesame Shortcuts or some third-party launchers have provided this type of search for several years. I understand the importance of this stuff being a native system function, but it wasn't something very advanced or super difficult to just install an app for it in the past 😂

[@juancarlosmunoz8988]

How you make the background pitch black, mine is mostly gray

[@JK_360_]

it seems that is the Pixel 6 Pro. I recently got the Pixel 6 and the deep blacks look more greenish and whites look more yellowish. Seems that the display is not that great in that sense.

[@juancarlosmunoz8988]

@@JK_360_ I don't have that color problem luckily, but my s21 screen was brighter

[@JK_360_]

@@juancarlosmunoz8988 thanks for that. I think I'll need to go to an electronics store to see how mine compares to a display model. I might have a slightly faulty screen.

[@rahulkothari3541]

Which case you are using. It looks really nice

[@zbkatz]

Good info but you need to do something about the red dot.

[@astroboomer]

I bought the pixel 6 at the ATT store. It was very incompatible with my bluetooth hearing aids. It would always drop calls probably ATTs fault and it would freeze my hands free controls on my bluetooth in my car most of the time despite repair them numerous times. I took it back and got a cheap Galaxy AO2 phone works great will keep this one for awhile.

[@aaronpurches7183]

It would be sick if they had the option to convert the Google assist double click into a touch shortcut

[@WillBui]

What case are you using?

[@suemarie6032]

Thanks for the tips. I've had my phone for a month now and you showed me things never knew, even though I did explore the featrues. Why I ended up here though is to find out why sometimes my "OK Google' or using the Assistant types a reply rather than speaks. I know it's not a feature to turn off and on because they both happen, I just never know which one will happen the next time I want it. I find it useless for it to type a message because I have no reason for it to be silent. It has nothing to do with the chat typing feature as I also had that on my previous LG G5. Any thoughts? It really is annoying.

[@JokerFabs97]

6:06 Hi, i recently bought a pixel 6 and i don't have the settings that you have. Do i have to improve my voice assistant? I also can't use the speech to text with the "send" and "delete all" commands. What should i do?!

What is your scale of animation?

[@ryanhom3006]

I turn mine off. Feels faster that way

[@joho9815]

How do you initiate the phone from the VERY BEGINNING for beginners forget about the camera. Let's start from the very beginning please!!!!

[@AmitKumar-in7vo]

Why did Pixel 6 remove wide-angle front camera? (It was one of Pixel 3's best features)

[@rickybobby149]

Thanks!

[@peterschmidt9942]

First thing to do to get it running optimally is delete all the google apps 😂🤣 I was actually surprised there was a few must have apps it didn't come with (coming from an iPhone). No weather, no simple notes and no email (other than gmail). Lucky there's a lot of apps in the store to choose from. But wading through finding good ones can be tedious. But there's some very handy tricks and once you learn them and setup the phone, makes for a great experience. Still not a fan of themed icons though🤔

[@anthonywilliams9415]

Switch to 4K?? Tryna use ALL of that memory huh?? 😆😆

[@MatrixEdit]

You living in 2010?

[@airjocone9398]

It actually barely uses any of the memory

[@wonderbread06]

You should actually disable Normalize Volume in Spotify

[@NaturalCauze]

at 4 min 4 seconds when you swipe down you can still see your wall paper on my pixel 6 pro i cant i get this black box saying no notfications how do i change this

[@greggjohnston4022]

I have a pixel 6 and the only thing I do not like about it is that when you turn the notification off it also turns your ringer down so that you cannot hear it. If I'm wrong someone please let me know

[@JohnJacobSchmidtt]

I just got six and I hate it. Swipe swipe swipe now in home screen instead of one touch. Idk if I have the Patience

How did you get this Nintendo notification. Mine doesent show any calender stuff. Thanks for the video

My 6 Pro isn't showing the "quick phrases" setting. Is this a Pixel 6 setting only?

[@jwittouck]

How come you still have full black dark mode? I only have dark gray everywhere. Can't seem to make it full black'

[@scupking]

Agreed. I would like the same on mine. My dark gray looks more dark green on my pixel 6...

hey dude this is only your personal preference, no big deal. 4k are you kidding me right!

[@jcolt84]

I think themed icons looks better in light mode, but I prefer dark mode.

[@Dismal626]

First tip in and I already don't like the tip haha. On 99% of devices, 1080p resolution with 60 fps will look much much better than 4k at 30fps. There is no reason to record at 4k unless you are going to view the content on a 4k device or you have unlimited storage because 4k takes up a shit load of space.

1st 🥇 love all your videos I hope my channel can be as popular

Hi, I have two issues with my 6 Pro. 1. My clock is set in the evenings to PM and the 24 hour clock is off at all times. Yet on the always on display, if it's 8:30PM for example, it's displayed as 08:30! I've been through all the clock settings multiple times, I think this must be a bug? 2. The fingerprint doesn't work all the time it's very hit and miss, I don't want to have to re-set the phone again, this all seems to have happened from the last software update last week, and of course the time on my galaxy watch 4 is also displaying a 24 hour clock! Any ideas please? Thanks from the UK

[@TheCambra]

Is there any way to remove the at a glance widget in The top left hand corner of the screen?

[@ryusan717]

Don't forget to mention the pro is the most defective pixel ever screen flickering, poor sound, software not optimize for 120hz do you get lights flickering,. The brightest is terrible and it feels like a hollow cheap phone. Google scamming us on this one.

Pics or it didn't happen mate.

[@vonStalhein2]

That red dot is so annoying

[@DerrickSderrickisONLINE]

Ugh just say no to pop sockets! Yuck. But I’m bias I also don’t do cases. It’s like old people with plastic on their furniture. Millennials probably never seen plastic on furniture. It was a thing kids. A very bad thing. As a kid I remember sticking to the furniture on hot summer days because old black grandparents don’t believe in A/C, not for the reasons millennials care about (climate change etc.) because they have a fixed income and you better keep that door closed. I digress pop sockets should go the way of plastic on furniture /rant

[@JackMcSomeone]

I personally don't mind them, but they can get expensive where I live. I got one with a metal design and it was $25. I live in Australia, btw

[@conservativestrawman9837]

Pop sockets aren't a case. They are a pop socket. Lol, but I agree, I have never used them, feels like they are dying trend though, just feels gaudy af.

[@DerrickSderrickisONLINE]

@@conservativestrawman9837 I know they aren't a case but anything that takes away from the look of the phone you selected mainly for features but also for looks/style is a no. And yes gaudy af!

I will order one now. It's too comfortable.

[@FreyOni]

I don't think they are really comparable popsockets are there so it's easier to hold your phone/watch videos the old plastic thing didn't really have anything other than I wanted it to be clean
