Supposed to come the 7th..
She wants a loopy case but they don't make those yet so went with this in the interim.
So I was playing around with the camera bit last night, indoors, in a ok lit living room. I found it to be....inconsistent. I would actually say the P4 does better. Sometimes I would get super crisp shots of objects and other times I would get low quality results on everything but what the camera was focused on. I cant think of the word I want at the moment.
The wide angle lens is mediocre for anything but social media posts or daylight shots, Ive found so far at least. I think the biggest problems is the software wasn't ready for the hardware. I'm fairly certain Google is using older tricks because they weren't quite ready for show time. Meaning, I think we're going to see fairly dramatic improvements to the camera over the next few months.
I really need to take this out and shoot in daylight, try night sight and some of the other tricks it has.
Camera aside, the phone is a beast. Buttery smooth, super fast....battery seems ok so far. Good, but not great for the size. But it usually takes at least a week for the adaptive battery settings to settle down. But I took it off the charger yesterday at 8, didnt use it too much during the day but was on 5g all night (it hauls ass), used the camera and by 1am, I still had an estimated 3 hours left at around 25%. This weekend will be a good test for the phone overall.

I run pure on my work phone just to keep up with it.
For sure not upgrading my main to 12 for now.
Anyone try to downgrade 12 back to 11?
Finally got a chance to sit down with my mom and she despises 12. I can see why.

Already running Nova. It’s the notifications/control window shade, the Lock Screen changes, and a few other things.
I have been chasing an issue with heathers text messaging. We bought her the new 6 (and 5A for work) hoping that would help. It didn't so then I was blaming Fi, aka TMobile because it's all we get here, and this appears to not be the issue. So back to Textra she goes... Why?
Text Messages would pop up on her screen but you would go to the messages app and they would not be there. Or we are in a group together and I am getting messages on my P3 and she didn't. After Textra switch they filled in. She had been having this issue for a while on her old P3 and I would switch carriers and reboot as a workaround but since losing Sprint that trick doesn't work anymore.
Unfortunately google still hasn't allowed RCS outside of Textra and I don't see a plan to start. They have allowed Samsung a special way in but it's apparently just for them.
PS she seems to prefer the 5A to the 6. Overall usability is better she says. I think a big part of that is the fingerprint reader. She also says the 6 is too touchy.

It's not an RCS issue as far as I can tell, she is missing SMS from iPhones or other Androids not using RCS.
It's a messages issue IMO.
Also I am glad Tha Lord got there with signal as #1 reply, it's what I expected. ?

I realized that when I went back and reread that she would get the notification but not have it appear in the app. That's bizzar
Sure that does work, kind of like rebooting or switching carriers did too. But ultimately it keeps happening. Aka not permanent... Or at least I haven't found the combination that was? I figured a new phone wouldn't need that?
It's so weird.
