  • USB c to headphone. I use the apple one.

  • It’s at times like these that I actually appreciate only having to set up all my finance apps every 2 years or so.

  • I think I paid similar. I got is becuas I bought one and it didn't work. Apparently there are two types of cable or something and someone online said the Apple onebwirks.

  • I got is becuas someone online said the Apple onebwirks.

    Unlike your autocorrect 🙄

  • Unlike my thumbs. They're numb. And I'm lazy.

  • Funny the 6a isn't much bigger compared to the 4a but it's feeling very unfamiliar in the first few days. I can't comprehend how people use phones that are way bigger than this

  • I went with the Spigen liquid air case for the pixel 6. Decent and not too bulky although not as grippy as I expected from the images.

    Also, has anyone used the trade-in with the Google store? According to the terms and conditions the trade-in phone needs to be received by them within 14 days of getting the new phone. I got my phone 9 days ago and the trade-in kit hasn't yet shipped, I'm getting antsy that it will be used as an excuse not to give the full trade-in value.

    I've tried to get Google to confirm I'll still get the full trade-in value but I'm either dealing with a very thick person or, more likely, a shit AI bot.

  • With disdain and regret

  • Bought the same case yesterday and same feedback on not as grippy as I thought. Yet to receive the trade in kit too despite receiving the phone within 48 hours of ordering so will let you know

  • I got email the trade in was under way just after phone purchased Friday and email that Royal Mail had the kit today.

  • Same timeline as @dubtap for me. Did you receive the "welcome to trade in" email with the trade in ID and all that?

  • I got the welcome to trade in on 1 September, trade in kit was in theory sent on 8th but the royal mail tracking still doesn't register so who knows.

    Google News, slide to 'No'
    Seems to be working for me.

    As @hippy may have already discovered this isn't the right way to get rid of the Google suggestions.

    Search for 'discover' in settings and turn it off.

  • I haven't done anything yet. I did try this and there's no Discover in phone settings.

  • Try this:

    Open Google app
    Tap profile top right
    Settings
    General
    Turn discover off

    I also turned off swipe to access Google app by long pressing on the home screen and selecting home settings.

  • Ah, I was looking at phone settings not "Google" settings. Thanks.

  • Thanks, I was making the same error as @hippy, phone 'Settings' rather than within Google app.

  • I had no idea I had either of these things enabled, clearly I'd never swiped left on this phone.

    I had a look at my suggested interests which it could notify me about, included such riveting stuff as "light switch", "bag" and "cast iron"

  • Haha, as soon as I saw one of my interests was washing machines, that shit had to go.

  • My 6A informs me, the update to Android 13 is available.

  • Prepare yourself for the little sperm swimming along your media controls.

  • My android fairphone has stopped responding to Bluetooth headset remote controls... Has something changed in settings somewhere?

  • Has the BT headset somehow become unpaired?
