Is yout device hot or superhot when you use it? I have overheating problem in Google pixel 8 pro
@CaptainTrips1911 ай бұрын
I have a tip. If you're like me and you can't stand the gestures for navigating, like swipe left to go back, you can re-enable to old school 3 buttons at the bottom again! Just go to Settings, system, navigation mode. Then choose 3-button navigation. And you can even go into that setting and turn on hold home button to activate Assistant, so you can change the power button back to the power button if you want.
@volumeboyman11 ай бұрын
There was at one time, I think for the Pixel 2XL and maybe up to the 4XL, a third option. It was a fantastic combination of two buttons and a few simple swipe gestures. IDK why Google won't give us that third option again?

Why would anyone ever want to Not use swipe gesture and rather have like 15% of their screen constantly taken by buttons you literally don't need
@CaptainTrips1911 ай бұрын
@@TECHNIKMM Because the swipes never work the first time for me. ESPECIALLY the swipe up to change apps which is almost the same gesture to open app drawer. Having a dedicated button makes it so much easier to navigate! It's a 6.7 inch screen, so they don't take up much room. Also they can become transparent, and they disappear if something is in full screen.

I think one that is better than remove animation, is go to dev settings, then turn animation speeds down to 0.5, it makes the phone feel WAY snappier and doesn't look horrible with no animations.

I have had my Pixel 8 Pro for about two weeks now and I love it! I have read many reviews and watched hundreds of KZbin videos about the phone before buying it. I previously owned the Pixel 3 XL, 4 XL, and 6 Pro. I have always enjoyed the Pixel experience even though the phones always had issues. This phone is probably the best Pixel phone and far exceeds the previous phones. I have not experienced some of the issues that other have mentioned such as over heating, lagging while scrolling, connectivity issues, apps shutting down, or any other issues. My experience as of now has been nothing but positive. Before this phone I had the Samsung S23 Ultra and that was a good phone but I am not a fan of Samsungs version of Android. I primarily use my Pixel for phone calls, a lot of texting, media consumption, and for social media, so for me this phone does everything I need it to do just fine. I really do not play games on my phone, so that is a non-issue for me. I do take pictures but I am not professional photographer so in my opinion picture quality can be subjective at times. So for me overall the Pixel 8 Pro is a much more enjoyable experience and I have always enjoyed what Pixels have had to offer.

This is a very well made video, thank you. Most valuable tip for me that I found on Reddit was to update Google Play Services and Security, reset Device Health Services and Bluetooth and WiFi when transferring from an old phone. Only after that battery life is acceptable, before that I had (for 2 weeks) a horrendous overheating problem and 1 1/2 h screen time max per battery charge that lasted roughly 12 hours.

One correction for "Bonus Tip #3": the 'Flip to Shh' option actually enables Do Not Disturb as long as the phone is flipped, silencing all notifications, not just the current call. By default, the phone will silence current calls when you flip it over WITHOUT enabling that option. I prefer this behavior over silencing all notifications in DND.

After all the popular "talking heads" videos about the Pixel 8 Pro in the past days, just repeating the same info, I have to say that this has been the most useful for me while waiting for my Pixel 8 Pro to arrive on Monday. As a Pixel phone user from day one on the Pixel 1 and through the various generations, my only criticism would be that quite a few of the features you mention are not specific to the latest Pixel model (now listening, etc).

I've just got ( not even opened at time of writing) a Pixel 8 pro and it's my first pixel phone ever so it's completely new to me although I have always had android phones. Looking forward to the camera tips video. I'm sure there are a few things to iron out with the new pro feature, I'm coming from an old Sony Xperia so I'm hoping it gives me some added control over just a point and shoot in a similar way to what I had on the Sony but with the convenience of the well known pixel photo experience for taking pics quickly most of the time.
