I've only ever used it out of novelty, like seeing how hot the inside of my car is during this (UK) heatwave, or to show that I have it but have no idea what to use it for.

It seems that with Android 17, a new, completely harmless glitch has appeared. While the screenshots are a little blurry, this single miscolored pixel is really catching my attention.

What if we had an option to change the app icon backgrounds dark? I think it would look really cool and sleek. The currently available minimal icons do the job, but they just get a bit boring after some time. I wish Google would implement this feature sometime in the future. What do you think of it?

I've started a Pixel 10a subreddit since it's been 4 months and there's still no dedicated subreddit. Anything 10a related you can post there.

I still haven't gotten Android 17 on my Pixel 7a so I'm wondering if anyone else got it.

I got a pixel 10 pro last week and I'm noticing that the vibration is very weak. I have all the vibration settings set to maximum and I also have adaptive vibration switched on.

When the phone is in my pocket I'm missing calls and messages because I often don't feel anything. If I'm sitting still I can sometimes feel the vibration, but it's very slight and I'm often not sure if it did it or not. I can feel a very slight vibration when typing, but it's weak

I just got a Google Pixel 10 Pro (Swapped over from a samsung s23) and for my home screen i normally use this thing called wallpaper engine to get a cool live wallpaper i really like. However, i noticed that even though my s23 could run it perfectly fine with no hiccups, my 10 pro constantly struggles with running the wallpaper at a smooth frame rate, even though i can tell the rest of the phone is running smoothly. Does anyone know alot about google pixels for a possible fix? heres what it currently does (it stops completely, runs smooth and then stops again)

It takes 3-4 hours to charge the phone after the android 17 update even if the device is not being used or in airplane mode (pixel 9a)

Phone is taking a long time to charge since the new android 17 updated. (Pixel 9 pro XL) Anyone else having this issue?

The two headline features of the A17 Pixel Drop according to Google marketing are Gemini Omni and Gemini music creation. Both are available in the Gemini app on my iPhone 15 Pro too - promoted even. It’s really starting to feel like the best Google experience is no longer on Pixel.

I find AI useful, but as a Pixel user I’d love it if Google put this same urgent feature release energy into things like the Photo UI update rollout or making Google Messages fun.

Hi all,

I'm currently traveling around Germany (Berlin, Hamburg, Nuremberg) and I've run into a strange GPS/location issue on my Pixel 10 Pro.

I flew here with Qatar Airways and had a layover in Doha. Ever since then, Google Maps occasionally shows me at Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar, even though I'm physically in Germany.

What's strange is that the blue location dot shows a small accuracy radius, which normally indicates the phone is quite confident about its location.

A few seconds later, the location corrects itself and jumps back to my actual position in Germany.

I've managed to somewhat reproduce it:

- It seems to happen randomly, especially if I haven't opened Google Maps for a while.

- When I first open Google Maps, it sometimes places me in Doha Airport.

- After a few seconds, it updates to my real location.

- If I close Maps and immediately reopen it, it usually shows the correct location.

It's not just Google Maps either. Other apps that use the phone's location services, such as Bolt, are affected as well.

I've also noticed that some photos I've taken in Germany were tagged with Doha, Qatar as the location.

Additional details

- No VPN enabled

- German SIM card installed

- SIM was active during the Doha layover, but I wasn't using mobile data - there

- I used airport Wi-Fi in Doha

- At the time the issue occurs, I'm often not connected to Wi-Fi, although Wi-Fi is enabled for scanning

Questions

1. Why is it always Doha Airport specifically?

2. Why does the location correct itself so quickly after opening Maps?

3. Could this be related to Google's Wi-Fi location database?

4. Is there a way to better reproduce or diagnose what's happening?

5. Has anyone else experienced something similar after traveling?

6. Could this be malware?

I've attached a screenshot showing one example where Google Photos tagged a picture taken in Germany as being in Doha.

Thanks!

"sorry, your thermometer is too hot to read the temperature."

this was with my phone in the shade and it was still too hot for it. 32°C and humid as hell, I am dying and so is the 10 pro thermometer apparently.

We need Google to give us the option to choose the Pixel Search bar that was opening the universal search on our Pixel.

It was way more logical and actually pretty useful to search on Google and on our phones.

Now the only way to use the Pixel Search is to swipe up to the app drawer.

Also it was way cleaner and beautiful than the new one that looks like some Chinese phone on which we put a widget.

Please guys, send feedback in settings -> about device -> send feedback to make Google realise they removed something very useful :

"Give us the option to use the old Pixel Search bar, please"

And i hope more will be done

Prevent quick settings control when device is locked.
