Ever watch someone going insane upgrading their phone?

App should (I say "should" because some apps didn't auto transfer and if it did, it losses its save files) auto transfer when doing the oobe as long as you use the same Google account.

Btw what do you mean by activating it? in the US, it came to customer in a disabled state?

 

Ah I see. Is an embedded virtual sim thingy I assume?

In my country we still use old fashioned physical Sim card so simply eject the card and insert it to the new phone hahaha.

Btw pixel 6 is a good choice indeed! Google even provides regular feature drops. The camera quality also I believe it will keep getting better and better. As Google's algorithm can feel like magic at times.

It also doesn't seem to have any inherent defects like older (pixel 1 and 2?) pixel phones (e.g. Bootloop).

 

Not sure about the activation, mine just worked fine after putting the sim in and all apps got transferred from my old OnePlus 3 without problem. Even the android tv remote that doesn't work on newer phones anymore...

Pretty happy with the phone. Obviously a big step up from what I had. My only gripe is the screen has a lot of discoloration at angles. It's mostly visible with whites so not that big a deal but still. Also charging isn't that fast and I felt I might as not have gotten that google charger.

Android 12 does need some work though. What annoys me most is a lot of apps don't fully use the top and/or bottom of the screen. Even googles own apps don't. YouTube uses the whole screen but for example Chrome doesn't fully use the bottom of the screen.

 

That is odd. I am on tmobile and just got a flip 3. I took the sim out of the note 9 and put it in the flip 3 and it just worked. The other nice thing is samsung smart switch. I just plugged in both phones and sat them next to each other and everything transferred including games it took awhile since it was a lot of data but it did it over a wifi direct connection

 

yea sprint was bought by tmobile a few years ago.

Did you perhaps have a built in sim on the old phone and new phone ?

 

My pixel constantly harasses me about updating to 12 but I can't yet. Android 12 disables the ability to use the side volume buttons on a chromecast device, or any remote control device to control volume, like when I send my Spotify to my Google Home devices. Apparently some legal issue with Sonos having a patent on the functionality that is being "resolved" in 12L.

 

Android 12 also disables full screen gestures for 3rd party launchers.

Dunno Google has fixed that or not tho.
