Case appreciation post

I've had this Torras Q3 Air case for about two weeks now and I love it. The 360 kickstand, the slight lip on the camera bar to give me a place to rest my index finger, the small textured grips on the side, the orange buttons on the side, the look, the magnet strength, and the dope overall look.

I was a bit hesitant about the high price, but I'm highly impressed and satisfied! If you're looking for an all around great looking case with magsafe and 🔥 kickstand I highly recommend this one.

11 Pro case recommendations?

Does anyone have any good PixelSnap compatible cases they recommend for the 11 Pro? I got the spigen liquid air, and while I love the texture, the gap between the case and the camera bar doesn't do it for me.

Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

Finally joined the Pixel family!

Got my new Pixel 10a (256GB)! Excited to experience the clean Android UI and explore all the Pixel features.

Any tips or must-try features for a new Pixel user?

Pixel 10 pro problems with calls

I'm part of Pixel community since I had P8 for two years and then switched to P10pro. Already on P8 had problems with receiving and establishing calls. It just happens randomly that I can't call someone, and after the second or third attempt it works.

But what's worse is being unable to receive calls from others. When P10 was out I traded it for my old P8 hoping that issues will disappear.

In the beginning it seemed to be better but actually it's getting worse. I thought it's because of the carrier so I transferred my number to a different carrier and got new sim card. But again many people complain about being unable to call me. I live in Croatia and bought my pixels from Germany. Is it possible that their phones aren't compatible with our carriers? Should I send my phone to Google as a warranty claim? Before pixels I owned Xiaomi and never had such issues. Could it be fixed in software?

Hi everyone, I present to you my new Pixel!

I've been working hard on customization. Thanks to the developers for giving me the opportunity to make my Pixel not so Google Pixel.

I'm back on team Pixel

After a month of testing various phones (s26 ultra, fold 8 and now pixel 11 pro) I finally decided to come back to pixel after a few years back on iOS.

I jumped into the ecosystem head first, got the PW5, Buds Pro 2 and the Pixel 11 Pro.

I've been a fan of Google since the Nexus days and have been jumping from iOS and pixels every few years. Feels good to be back and back to what feels like home.

Pixel 10 Pro or 11 Pro for long-term use? 12GB or 16GB RAM?

I'm looking to replace my Xiaomi Mi 11, which I've had for about 6 years, with a Google Pixel.

My priorities are great photo quality and a phone that will last for many years.

My current phone has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, and I'm constantly running out of space, it has become tiresome.

It's also still running Android 11, so I'm definitely due for an upgrade 😅

I'm currently considering the Pixel 10 Pro or Pixel 11 Pro. But i am a bit short on money so anything saved is good.

Would you recommend going for the 12GB or 16GB RAM version?

And is 256GB enough for long-term use, or should I go for 512GB?

For someone planning to keep the phone for many years, which configuration would you choose and why?

Google store coming soon to Houston!

I was just at the galleria mall here in Houston and saw they have a Google store under construction. Finally they get one here, I've only been to one physical google store location and that was in Santa Monica, CA. I know they have them in big cities like NYC, Boston and I think Chicago. Hopefully they build more so people won't have to order online all the time and hope their package isn't an empty box.

I made a free app so I can open the volume panel with an edge swipe (no root)

I love my Pixel and I don't want its volume buttons to wear out from pressing them every day, so I built a small app for it.

You swipe in from a small spot on the screen edge and the volume panel opens. The back gesture still works on the rest of the edge. You choose where the spot is (position, height, width), and there's a red preview strip to help you place it.

Also, useful if your volume button is already broken.

- No root

- No internet permission

- No background service or notification

- Open source (MIT)

GitHub + APK: https://github.com/sudoflash01/EdgeVolume

It's my first release, so if it doesn't work on your phone, tell me your phone model and Android version and I'll look into it.
