Just buy an audio adapter for the phone!

If you're carrying around wired headphones, you're not going to really notice an adapter on the end of it anyway 🙂

Did you get the MA1, or know if it can be purchased yet?

Hurrache

Nah, I'm sticking with wired for a bit anyway as I use it to charge my phone anyway.

Has anyone bought a Pixel 6 Pro from the Google Website recently? Just wondering how long delivery took? Thanks!

If I try and ship a 6 pro on their store site now, it says I'll have it later today!

I seriously doubt that, but you never know! 😆

To answer my own question in case anyone else is wondering. I ordered in the early hours of Thursday and the Phone arrived around lunchtime today (Friday). Seemed to come via DHL from Holland to Dublin.

For anyone with access to a student, both the StudentBeans and the MyUnidays websites are offering 20% off the Google 6 or 6 Pro.

Has anyone got 48 working when roaming in UK on a Pixel 6? I have got it working on both my childrens Iphone and a Oneplus Nord. Had to switch to using 3g only and had to manually select the 3UK network. Main thing seems to be though is sim toolkit setting to switch to international roaming that I had to select on both there phones. This is missing or deactivated on the pixel depending on what type of sim card you have. Anyone know a way around this or a reputable third party sim tool on the Play store that I can access this setting on?

It's not a huge deal I have a vodafone esim that I topped up for the trip to make sure I had data but it would be handy to be able to make and receive calls on my main number. At least I got the kids working which is the main thing but why would google deactivate changing some settings?

Do you have the 48 SIM Menu app @Ryath ?

It's the first item in my app drawer, under the predicted apps!

I have a 48 SIM in my 6 Pro, as well as a Vodafone eSIM. I had no problems accessing that menu when roaming in the UK. Italy wasn't the best, though. Had to go into that menu and toggle between manual and automatic a few times.

No don't have 48 Sim menu app on the phone. Can select three uk network in mobile network menu but it doesn't connect. There is something with how 48 have set up their sim for roaming that I need to be able to select that setting for international roaming in SIM toolkit.

Article published on if the Pixel 6 will get face unlock. Seems not but does not rule it out.

Did we lose the feature where the phone waits in a call queue? I thought it was there before, can see it now

I got a pixel 6 a few months back and I've been really enjoying it. Yesterday though I'm having an issue with the volume. The volume slider seems to be almost constantly on screen. It's almost as if the volume is being turned up. From a quick Google it would suggest this happened to other users on the pixel 3. It's in a case, but it's in this case for a couple of months now, so I don't think that's the problem. There shouldn't be any water damage and there's no sign of excessive dust or anything so I'm thinking it might be a software glitch. I tried updating to the latest patch but it's still the same. It's chewing through my battery because of it and basic functions on the phone are inhibited because it's almost constantly on the screen.

Any ideas?

Have you tried a restart? Only other thing I can think of is a small piece of dirt after working its way under the button and has jammed the button?

Tried a restart, and made no real difference. I'm going to try a hard restart now. My own first thought was a Bluetooth device but when turning Bluetooth off doesn't seem to make a difference.

If the hard restart doesn't make a difference then I'm inclined to think what you say might be the case. Is it worth ringing Vodafone (who I bought the phone off) considering it's only two months old.

Vodafone won't be much use. I'd try rebooting into safe mode, see if that makes a difference:

You need to rule out that something hasn't somehow jammed the button, then the next option is to go nuclear and do a full factory reset. Chances are that your problems will be solved, but you'll still need to figure out what was causing the issue in the first place.

Quazzie

Restarted in safe mode, and it still happened, which I'm assuming means it isn't software because it was only original apps still working.

That only leaves mechanical which will mean dropping it into someone.

Sure is annoying as hell though.

Quazzie

Just to leave an update on this. I was racking my brain about what could have caused this and the only thing I changed was I installed the Ikea App. I uninstalled it and it seems to have rectified the issue. Not sure why the Ikea App would cause this but it only happened after I installed and went away as soon as I uninstalled.

Also, I think I mentioned on here that I was having an issue with Spotify starting playing seemingly at random. The issue has been resolved. I believe the problem was the polar flow app interfering somehow however, the problem has now been resolved.

Installed the update today, restarted, shortly after phone went off during a WhatsApp Call.

Phone shows low battery immediately after but was really well charged.

Plug it into wall, black screen with picture of white battery comes on.

Left it for an hour, still on same screen, try to turn it on, low battery still.

Friend installed same firmware, same problem, phone which turned off and won't come back on.

Any way to uninstall that firmware update?

Seems I am not only one

Cheers for the heads-up, I'll not be doing any update for now.

devnull

Mine is a Pixel 6 Pro ordered from Google Store on release day if that helps anyone.

Going to leave it plugged into the wall for a few hours and see what happens.

hi guys

I dropped my Pixel 6 over the weekend, quote to repaid the screen is 500. I bought it off Google online. I presume that there is no guarantee to cover the incident (I dont have seperate insurance taken out for the phone)?

micks_address

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119354956#Comment_119354956

google quoted 500 for a new screen?

RobertFoster

It's €520 new in Argos at the moment. €500 for replacing the screen seems steep.

banjobongo

the quote was from a local tech store, not from Google, I dont have time to wait for a reply from Google, I was hoping somebdoy here could confirm my guess that Google didnt offer a 12 monht guarantee that woudl cover dropping a phone and breaking the screen?

Nope, they won't cover dropping the phone and breaking the screen, you'd need insurance for that.
