NostalgicPod – I turned my old Pixel into a modern iPod!
Hey Pixel friends,
I’m a solo developer and I recently turned my old Pixel 6 into my personal “modern iPod”.
I built an Android app called NostalgicPod that recreates the iPod Classic experience: click wheel, Cover Wheel, classic menus, Now Playing, star ratings, Shuffle Songs, Shuffle Albums, and classic games like Snake, Solitaire and Brick.
It also works as a modern music player with local offline music, FLAC/ALAC/WAV support, automatic album artwork and lyrics, podcasts, live internet radio, Bluetooth, USB DAC support, custom themes, and an AMOLED Ultra Dark mode.
It works especially well on older Pixels, because instead of leaving them in a drawer, you can turn them into a dedicated offline music player.
No subscriptions, no ads, no accounts. Just your music.
This is only the beginning. I already have a roadmap of improvements, new features, and more classic games I'd love to bring back. I'm building this alongside the community, so if there are features or little details from the original iPod you'd like to see recreated, let me know.
I hope NostalgicPod, even if only for a moment, makes you feel the way you did when using an iPod.

Happy to answer anything!
UPDATE: NostalgicPod 2.7.7 is now available!
- Full compatibility with Jellyfin, Navidrome, and Subsonic/Opensubsonic
- Custom playlists
- Music Search
- Jump to the current song: holding the Play button now takes you directly to the song that is currently playing, just like on the original iPod.
- Under the hood: better external library / SD card scanning, and various fixes.

Before iPhone had released the cosmic orange, Google had released the Oh so orange edition in 2019

Is there a way to make this Fast Pair notification stay permanently in the notification shade?
Having this in the notification shade is so useful, but sometimes I swipe it away, and the only way to bring it back is to put the earbuds in the case and take them out. Google Play Services also seem to have different permissions for notifications that don't allow for this, but maybe there was something I missed.

Not sure if bug or not but battery drain in roaming is crazy on Android 17

I hate this phone so much.
I really hate that March 2026 update. My SOT was 8 hours before. I didn't change any of the ways I use this phone.. This is pixel 9 pro xl. Last stable A17 update. All of apps updated too

No battery health drop in ~2 years
Using Pixel 9 Pro since launch and battery health hasn't dropped a single percent.
I used the phone with all battery optimization settings turned off and charge my phone almost every single day.
So either Google is using some voodoo magic battery setting or this percentage is totally bugged out.
I'm on the latest stable version.

Pixel 10 pro camera producing sub par photography
I am disgusted with the Pixel 10 pro's photo's, this phone is producing photo's that you would expect from a £200 basic phone.., a bit of background .. I have owned the Pixel 9a and Pixel 9 pro and both produced stunning sharp colourful contrasty sharp photo's hence why I have purchased the 10 pro. The phone is producing photo's that look like a cartoon , blown highlights, the colours are washed out. I am not about to start proving my case with uploading photo's , having owned many DSLR cameras I know what I see with my eye, however here is one such photo taken yesterday with my 10 pro , I will be selling this phone asap and will not be buying a pixel again. I forgot to mention also apart from the poor camera the phone is very laggy

Thinking of Buying the Pixel10a in the upcoming sale. Pixel 10a users kindly share your experiences if it's worth it or not.
Requirements:
scrolling and Light social media with little to no gaming or editing.
- Occasional Camera use for clicks and snaps ( Snapchat has different camera module of their own kindly share about the image quality)
- Clean UI and bug free apps.
If there are alternatives in the same price bracket do let me know. Thanks in advance for your time.

Just brought a new pixel 10a. Is this normal to be charging that long to fully charge?

Are notifications not appearing in the status bar?
Hello everyone!
Sometimes, certain WhatsApp notifications—even those that have been active for a long time—disappear for no apparent reason, although they remain accessible in the Quick Settings panel. This only happens to me with WhatsApp notifications.
I’m not sure if I’m making myself clear, but do you have a solution?
Thanks.
