Google Pixel 8 and 8 Pro

I did and it is active and TV sees something attached to the port but no pic. Sound also exits from phone and not TV speakers. It was a 2 min test so I will try it again with power on it. TV is a Samsung HD not UHD or 4k if that makes any difference.

I can always fall back to the chromecast but I'd say 50% of hotel wifi systems are a pain with logins and verifications. Then they log you out eetc etc. I always have a few movies of box sets on the phone so if this worked it would be convenient. No faffing around and its nice and small.

can you confirm the version of the Beta you are on?

How do you mean "with power on it"? Shouldn't require power?

@Traco See my previous post above - did you opt into the BETA program - https://www.google.com/android/beta

When you enrol you get an over the air update of the software…that's what allows the usb-c to HDMI to work. Now, there are downsides to enrolling, sometimes you get software that can be buggy. And it's a tad awkward to withdraw out of the Beta program. Unless you are a bit techy and happy with this, I'd wait until a formal public release comes along.

Has anyone had an issue with a pink line appearing on screen? I've had the phone since December and it has been appearing in the last two weeks or so, getting more frequent (almost every time I unlock the screen, it eventually disappears but is making the phone almost unusable for a few mins after unlock.

I bought on Amazon Spain and they seem to be replacing fairly easily (returning the current phone) but wondering if it is a known issue and if it will happen to the new device too?

No thank God, though a buddy has similar issues whilst using what's app

But green lines instead of pink

I'd a factory reset if twas me and it was really bugging me

Hope U get sorted,pls keep us informed as it could happen to anyone here,

Interesting to see how U get sorted etc

I ported to GoMo last week … today I noticed I receive a call and when I answer the call disconnects. Same thing happened a few times and I noticed a message one of the times saying something like it couldn't connect to the server. Problem is definitely not on my side as there is good wifi coverage where I was when calls came in. I have disabled WiFi calling now.

Am I right in saying you can't do the same trade-in offer as 8a?

Anyones pixel 8 pro dropping calls of late?

Mine is

Googled it , seemingly happening a lot,GP 7 pro aswell

Yes. Happened multiple times during the last couple of weeks.

Hopefully,,,,, happening on hands free in car aswell,I'd changed cars and thought twas the Bluetooth in car playing up it for a 3 day period it happened near each call,

Again last evening, bloody annoying as the OP may think it's being done on purpose 🙄

Have the exact same issue. Very annoying as VoWIFI is much needed due to poor signal in the house. But I'm now constantly having to ring people back because I miss their calls.

The 8a is still cheaper in Three at €440.

The 8 is brought in line with 3 and the Pro is cheaper than 3(€919).

Does your network know the IMEI even if you haven't bought the phone from your network? As far as I know IMEI blocking only extends to Ireland so to get it unblocked they just need to bring it outside of the country

I don't think it has been mentioned yet, but the Google Gemini app (ChatGPT equivalent) is now available in Ireland (since the start of June). It replaces the google assistant on your phone (you can switch back if you don't like it).

I switched it back to the regular Google Assistant as it couldn't do things like stream radio etc. Instead of playing RTÉ Gold for example I get told about RTÉ Gold.

US store prices are shown exclusive of Vat. Also did the Irish store not have a sale on for the last little while? The prices are most likely back to normal RRP.

I think it depends on if they up the new price majorly or not. There has to be a financial incentive so if they don't up the P9 then the P8 will drop. I'd expect the initial dif. to be relatively minor, then after a few months it will increase as they try and offload older stock.

The Vodafone store historically has had good discounts on previous gen Pixel phones for prepaid plans, so worth keeping an eye on.

Although from memory discounts on the 7 weren't so good with the release of the 8 series last year.

Great phone tbh

Have mine a good while

All good

Crazy ,pixel turning into 🍎
