[Jedski0412]

Welcome to the Pixel Family!

Wowww... Loving it so far.
Far exceeded my expectations.
Lucky my set is good and screen is good as well.
No complaints so far.
Tried the night sight and was blown away by it.

This is not the one I was talking about. It seems like it's not available yet...

Why don’t get the Xiaomi wireless universal charger? Up to 10W for android phones. Very good built quality and most importantly it’s cheap!

Call screening seems to be enabled in the latest update to the phone app on play store. Any idea how to enable it? It's not working for me

I bought those OEM China wireless charger that charges at a slower rate and I find it better, because of the slower charging rate my device doesn't feel warm after leaving it to charge overnight.

I believe its a language issue? If its a region thing, they would have never rolled out this update for Singapore. Plus call screening was long avaliable in the US. It was only ystd that the update included this function for the Singapore Market? Maybe I'm wrong, I am not sure.

Because it says on the update that it is avaliable on US English only. Not too sure on where to set the overall language setting for android.

I bought 3 of those OEM wireless chargers off Lazada at $10.90 each and they worked as intended without the USB PD fast charging. xD

Where/how did you get the impression that "It was only ystd that the update included this function for the Singapore Market"?

When Google updates an app, that same app is updated on everyone's device. But that doesn't mean the same features will be available on everyone's device. Some features have to be activated on Google's server's end. And call screening is one. This is apparently tied to both the language and the region the user is in.

Even the Canadians don't get call screening yet. And their English is probably the closest-sounding to those in the US. Singapore? I think we can wait for the Canadians, the British, the Australians, maybe even the Indians, before it even reaches Singapore.

Because I have been monitoring the app updates. Its only in the latest update that the say call screening is now available, but only in US English. Unless I'm sorely mistaken, I apologise in advance. Plus if its only available in the US, wouldn't "only available in the US" be clearer than "only available in US English"?

Do you mean if I fly to the US, the call screening will be available? Google is using GPS to activate call screening?

Yup it's more region based than language based. I have been using US English since who knows when so if it is language based, I would've seen the call screening button when a call come in.

Im using English (Singapore) because I find it recognises my accent better. Hahaha

Actually apart from the call screening, I'm also still waiting for "Overview Selection" to be made available for English (Singapore) - see https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...w-screen-allows-text-selection-android-9-pie/

I know Overview Selection is available for English (US) but I'm not willing to forego the more accurate voice recognition for this feature alone. And this feature has been rolled out for like what, 4 months already, and it's still only available to English (US)...

And if this (apparently) simpler feature hasnt even rolled out yet to all English users after so long, I think one can only wait till Pixel 5 before the (apparently) more complexed call screening comes to Singapore.

That would be true for written English. For spoken English, errrr, Singapore English is in a league of its own. Lolol
