Google Pixel 6/Pixel 6 Pro

Android Central published an article last week about how Samsung are really the only manufacturer to have managed Android 12 update well.

https://www.androidcentral.com/ranking-android-12-update-progress-each-major-oem

Google are clearly not alone in this regard (but the network connectivity issue was a major fail).

A lot of posters posters here raving about how stable their previous OnePlus was, however it appears they were not immune either as there has been serious issues with their flagship after having to suspend their Android 12 rollout in Dec for the OnePlus 9 & 9 Pro.

You would think Google the inventers of Android could create a flawless experience.. seems not.

I've never owned a phone that doesn't have bugs. The only 'bug' I can think of that I've experienced with my Pixel 6 is that it sometimes asks for my fingerprint even though I have smart lock on, but that has been the case for every Android I've owned.

I'm actually surprised by the number of bugs people are reporting on here. I'd be interested to know if they still had a lot of them after doing a complete clean install and ran their phone for a day or two without installing any apps. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of bugs are related to restoring apps when setting up the phone.

Clearly I'm taking about my application. Duh.

madmoe · 03-02-2022 2:13am

Hi all,

I want and use screen rotation but when I'm on the home screen/main launcher, not the app drawer, I don't want it to rotate. I'm almost sure I selected this somewhere months ago to turn it on but I'd like to have it off now. Please tell me this is possible?

Many thanks,

M

As fed up as I am reading about 'when am i getting ma headphones', I do feel for ye.

Jeez, they are some headphones though lol.

devnull · 03-02-2022 7:40am

Anyone had any issues with Google Assistant routines on alarms?

Mine was working until this week, now the routines simply don't fire when you dismiss the alarm.

Press and hold on home screen, tap home screen settings and there's an option in there for allowing home screen rotation.

You are a star......so annoying trying to figure out where to go to turn that off! And of course Google was useless!

pandabat · 05-02-2022 3:46pm

Always bear in mind that if you go to the Settings screen, there is a search function there. In this case, typing "rotat" would give you all rotate/rotation settings without having to go manually searching through the settings hierarchy

I am experiencing no issues at all.

banjobongo · 07-02-2022 2:18pm

Im still waiting for my Bose phones, I emailed Google about it last week and I heard back from them today:

Sadly, we can not give specific shipping and delivery dates until the reward is with the courier.

DoctorStrange · 07-02-2022 3:27pm

Waiting nearly 90 days on my headphones.

Got on to Google customer support. They were apologising but sending me on to the promotional company. I complained a bit.

Didn't get on to the promotional company yet. I'll probably just wait until they arrive.

Just got a voucher from the Google Store today 🤔

Anyone else get a voucher / store credit?

MickH503 · 07-02-2022 3:34pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118595308#Comment_118595308

Yes

Royale with Cheese · 07-02-2022 3:38pm

Just got a €75 voucher but it has to be used by the end of April, before the rumoured launch of the Pixel watch in May. Still no sign of the headphones, my claim status still says approved and you should get them within 60 days (lol) but the last updated date is today.

Phat Cat · 07-02-2022 3:38pm

I just received a €75 Google store voucher also. My wait time for the headphones will be 90 days this Friday.

kilsmum · 07-02-2022 3:38pm

So did l. Still waiting on the headphones though 😕

dec2000 · 07-02-2022 3:41pm

Same here, got store credit today. Does this mean we're getting the 35s?

griffdaddy · 07-02-2022 3:44pm

Got the voucher there as well. Will probably order the stand. I wonder if this means we're getting the QC45 headphones now? Hopefully this won't reset the 60 days to today

grennscreener · 07-02-2022 3:46pm

I just got the €75 voucher as well, whats that mean? we're getting cheaper headphones or is it a fast one where we use the voucher and that's all we get?

Phat Cat · 07-02-2022 3:52pm

I have a feeling anyone that received the voucher will be getting the QC45 headphones instead of the 700's

cython · 07-02-2022 3:55pm

Likewise got an email with a €75 voucher, will likely use it for the pixel stand like many others here. I had sent an email querying the delay and got the same cookie cutter response about it being processed, etc.

Will wait and see what headphones turn up/get dispatched, but I don't see myself wasting any time on using the voucher lest they change their mind, or the stand sell out, given the short life of it.

Craazysteve · 07-02-2022 4:03pm

Jumping into this thread as I'm in the same boat, 90 days since claim was approved. I contacted the promo company through the form a number of times and never got a reply, I rang once a couple of weeks back and they basically could tell me no more and to keep waiting. I also just got the €75 store credit voucher today, so I'm guessing it'll be QC45's whenever they eventually (hopefully) arrive. No email explaining anything like that of course.

By the way, I've had no major issues with my Pixel6, from skimming the thread just now I see lots of complaints.

SW98 · 07-02-2022 4:20pm

I also got the €75 voucher today with no explanation as to why. I did eventually get a reply from Pixel-Offers last week, saying that the are still processing the Bose Headphones claims due to a large volume of them.

banjobongo · 07-02-2022 4:41pm

I also got an email today with a 75 Google Store promotional code

grennscreener · 07-02-2022 4:47pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118595628#Comment_118595628

Same here - I did have the issue with the mobile signal after the dec update, but aside from that (and even then it didn't bother me) the thing has been solid, takes amazing pictures, never runs out of battery and feels as solid as a soviet car battery.

I'd actually rather the QC45s as well, the 700s look like they'd be pretty fragile. They seem to be roughly the same price, so with the 75 voucher thrown in, I'm happy with that deal.

mossie · 07-02-2022 5:13pm

Still waiting for anything re headphones or credit here

Royale with Cheese · 07-02-2022 5:21pm

Struggling to find anything on the Google store worth buying. I've no interest in an upright wireless charger for €79. The Pixel buds for €99 are probably the best option but I've a pair of Sennheiser buds that aren't even a year old so really don't need new ones. I might be interested in the Pixel watch or even buying the 6a for someone else but the credit expires by the end of April so it's no good there.

OfflerCrocGod · 07-02-2022 5:28pm

Got the €75 credit too. Pretty annoyed with Google about this. Shocking overall. There's nothing I want in the Google store TBH and I really hope they're not trying to get out of shipping a good pair of headphones.

d0157063 · 07-02-2022 5:59pm

Same here, got €75 credit today afternoon. The Track my claim date is reset to todays, so not sure more 60 days for QC45 or further surprises :)

I was also thinking of Pixel stand, but not sure.....how about video doorbell ? anyone has/had them can share exp please

thanks

Royale with Cheese · 07-02-2022 6:06pm

I wouldn't read too much into the last updated date being updated. I'd say they just updated some fields in their database that aren't shown on the site (voucher applied or something like that) and the last updated column auto updated. This promotion has been amateur hour so I can't imagine their software will be any different.

DoctorStrange · 07-02-2022 6:10pm

I've the battery doorbell. Happy with it. Charge it up around once a month.

I got the buds. Thinks its very fair from Google.

TheRona · 07-02-2022 6:29pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118596345#Comment_118596345

I hope they are fair. People who were approved for the promotion weeks after me have been given a voucher, whereas I (and I'm sure others who are waiting even longer) haven't seen anything.

mossie · 07-02-2022 6:49pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118596424#Comment_118596424

I'm close to 90 days at this stage, no sign of anything voucher or otherwise. I've emailed a few times but only getting generic "we're busy" type replies. Order is showing as updated today but no reason as to why.

Is the credit added automatically or do you have to activate via a code?

TheRona · 07-02-2022 6:51pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118596523#Comment_118596523

You might be looking good for a voucher then. I'm at 95 days. Approved Nov 4th, last update on my claim Nov 18th.

mossie · 07-02-2022 7:00pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118596529#Comment_118596529

Hopefully. Order updated today but no email or credit yet.

Pinapples · 07-02-2022 7:34pm

Got the voucher today too. No word from Google about what it's for. Switch to QC45 or an apology for being late?

Chibs · 07-02-2022 7:49pm

February update is out. Installing now. 27.22mb

Screaming Monkey · 07-02-2022 8:28pm

Great phone pixel 6, but this headphone business is a disaster, also got the voucher today, just a random no-context email with 75euro voucher, presume still getting the headphones, no idea, but looking at claim site, still approved and was updated today,

DoctorStrange · 07-02-2022 8:32pm

Sent a code, apply at checkout.

seant5215 · 07-02-2022 9:05pm

Hi All,

Does anybody have experience of using the Pixel stand with a phone cover installed?

I'm also tempted to order a stand for the voucher but wondering if it'll charge while my OtterBox SYMMETRY cover is installed on the phone? It wouldn't be worth the trouble if necessary to remove the cover.

Thanks

wassie · 07-02-2022 10:11pm

Yes and works without a bother. Provided its made of non-metallic materials, I dont see there being any issue.

Charger works great and is fast - I have the pixel buds and it charges the case for them also.

All 3 products play really well with each other.

micks_address · 07-02-2022 10:37pm

Just applied the Feb update. Interesting to see if android auto has stability. I sent them about 20 bug reports last week for random disconnects

What happened to "gotta love compo culture in Ireland"? You wouldn't be hoping for a voucher now yourself would you? 🤔

The doorbell has been reduced to 115 in the past. Think it was on sale at that price in Harvey Norman at Christmas

TheRona · 08-02-2022 6:49am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118597652#Comment_118597652

I would take one if offered. I'm not asking for one. Big difference 😘

tipperary · 08-02-2022 8:49am

Returned the phone about two weeks ago. No update on headphones since early November but got the €75 voucher yesterday.

Was going to get the Nest Hub as it was reduced to €66.99, but the sale price doesn't apply if you use the voucher.
