It looks like it still has the 396 MHz bug

Thanks for sharing this. Unfortunately; it didn’t work for the UK store. Does anyone else kindly had a UK code? I would very much appreciate it.

I saw on Reddit that they were cancelling codes used multiple times, or by accounts not linked to the code. Not sure if it was because codes were used multiple times, or if they are linked
Thanks, I'd like to claim this code, will try it today at the Google store.
I just checked now and it took off $100 so I would use it before you lose it
Traded in an old Pixel 6 Pro, ( sitting in a drawer ) for $350, used the $200 Google Store credit applied to the phone ( ends today Sept 4 ). Used the $100 coupon provided by a good forum member here;

I got the base 9 last year and regretted it so gone for the Pro this year. No regrets.
So my Belkin qi 2.2 charger finally arrives, and it makes a ticking noise once charging gets up to speed. has anyone had this with the pixelsnap, or any other 2.2 charger? my 15w anker didn't tick. It however has a rotating charger which clicks, so is annoying when you first put the phone on charge and it settles in so to speak.
The noise isn't noticeable when I tried charging in my office, but as it will sit about 2 ft from my head, I can hear it and no doubt it will drive me crazy (well even more crazy)

Has anyone pre-ordered the Watch 4? I'm intrigued by the Personal Health Coach feature. Apparently the feature will use AI to take a more in-depth approach to health. It will be available as part of Fitbit Premium. It will only be available in the US from October, however I'm guessing it will be rolled out to other countries over time.
As an Apple Watch Ultra user, I'm intrigued by the Pixel Watch, I love look of the round raindrop style display. How accurate are Pixel Watches when it comes to tracking a run (or other work outs), sleep and other health features? also would the batter life be on par with my first gen Apple Watch Ultra?

Over a week in with the Pixel 10 Pro and still loving it.
Somebody texted me yesterday asking for a contact's number and it (I'm guessing it was Magic Cue) gave me a little box to press the contact and it just put the number right into the text field. An actual helpful feature.

I’ve got one on pre-order. Let’s hope the coach feature is better than what Apple’s offering because it’s literally just a voice repeating your performance to you…no guidance on how to build a proper workout plan, etc. I’ll give it a go as I’m getting 6 months of the Fitbit Premium service for free with the purchase.
I won’t be able to tell you how accurate it is for running because I don’t run..my knees and other joints don’t don’t agree with that form of exercise.
If I’m a glutton for punishment (and weird looks 😂) maybe I can be persuaded to track some workouts with the Pixel Watch on one wrist and my Apple Watch Ultra 2 on the other. Same goes for sleeping…at least then it’ll only be my wife giving me the side-eye. I can’t imagine the battery life is going to compare though. Sorry—I’m not going to rock both watches all day, everyday for that comparison. 😜
I just got the Take A Message feature on the phone app and it's very cool.
Being able to immediately create a call back reminder is clutch.

Simple setup just testing out. Have not activated my esim yet, but I am loving the smaller form factor in the regular Pro size.
Did all the updates, and some settings tweaks. Phone feels smooth and all good so far. One noticable upgrade is the speakers, they sound so crisp and clear even at low volume.

I think whats worse about Apple's offering is that you have to take your phone with you in order for the Workout Buddy to actually work. While it's a cute name (Workout Buddy) it lacks depth in my opinion, that's not to say Apple wont add to it over time. Google's Personal Health Coach, is more than just work outs, it even answers questions related to health based on your health data taken from the Pixel Watch 4. I wish this was something that Apple would have made and put effort into with the Apple Watch.
It will be good hear your feedback since you also have an Apple Watch. The problem for me is that the Apple Watch is great, and in my opinion the best smartwatch, it just lacks the Ai stuff that Google seem to be heading towards with Personal Health Coach.
I did try a Galaxy Watch 4 and 6 at the time, I ended up selling the one and returning the other. My Apple Watch was just better for tracking exercise.
I do find that Apple's Fitness+ is great for tracking data from the watch to the actual workout on the screen in real time. But with Google owning Fitbit I can see them being just as good if not better. Fitbit has been around a while and the Premium version is included for free with Google One (At least here in the UK it is).
Why did google give up on the form factor of the original pixel fold? It felt way more like a regular slab phone than now while folded and also the letterboxing while unfolded waa so much better than now 🤔
I joined the club yesterday.
After a brief stint with the iPhone 16 Pro Max, it's so nice to be back using a 'normal' size phone again.
I bagged a cheeky upgrade deal with my UK network so am all in right now. Granted the watch is "only" the watch 3 but having had one of these for my fold, I'm know it'll do all I need it for.
What's also handy is that the 12 months of Google AI seemed to work despite me having already had a trial with the 9 Pro. That's saving me another £18 pound a month for a year.
Overpriced leather Bellroy case should be with me in a few days.

Just had the dreaded glitchy screen on mine. I picked it up and it went fuzzy static, pressed the power button and it went black apart from a blue line at the top.
I accidentally did a screenshot, which came out as normal when I checked later, so I force rebooted and it's been fine since.
