It’s me again, hi all.
I received my replacement phone, and it’s been nothing but issues since. Android System Intelligence has crashed multiple times, and Bluetooth keeps disabling itself for no discernable reason. I’ve tried everything short of factory reset (because I’m on a work trip and can’t risk losing my MFA apps).
I regret ever purchasing a Google product at this point. Buyer beware.
Also: Google, if you’re reading this, do better. I know you won’t, though.
I can’t speak for the P6 but I can tell you the P7 is a fantastic phone from my experience. Really just zero issues since I got it last year.
I’m glad to hear that, I’ve been considering getting the P7. I’ve had the P3 forever and it’s still running strong so I don’t really NEED the new phone, but the much better hardware has had me interested.
At this point I would just wait for the P8 this fall. Especially since you’re not in a hurry for a new phone.
I guess I’m just unlucky then. My pixel 7 has annoying login issues and the battery will randomly suck some days.
The fingerprint reader is completely non-functional and when I put my pin in, 60% of the time it will take a good 5 to 10 seconds to unlock.
I have heard the complaints about the finger print reader. I personally don’t use it so I can’t comment on that. I just use a PIN all the time. Smart unlock at home and in my car removes that entirely.
Even when the fingerprint reader is working it will ask you for the pin “for additional security” grrr. I think I used to get a 50% success rate with the fingerprint reader, though it does seem a lot better recently for some reason. I didn’t change anything, so maybe a software update unfucked it.
Did your save you primary scanning finger a couple of times? Mine almost always works.
I had some luck redoing my fingerprint scans in a dark closet. Under display fingerprint readers suck in general.
I miss my pixel 4 with the scanner on the back. Instant unlock 100% of the time.
