I initially also thought need to enable fast charging since that was an option on my Samsung. But when I went to settings I only found Adaptive Charging and it is turned on, I tried turning it off but it didn't improve charging speed either so I just kept it on.

The charging I'm using is this:
https://www.amazon.sg/UGREEN-Charger-Adapter-Compatible-Macbook/dp/B08CDDSVN4

It states that it supports both PD and PPS, using port 2 that supports full 65w and no other device connected to it.

Adaptive charging is for when you want to slowly charge overnight, usually using your alarm clock as target. This is used to prevent overcharging, preserving battery lifespan, ensuring you wake up to 100% charged phone. Make sure your charging cable is compatible, pixels can quite picky about cables.

Maybe try a different cable. The old one may have worked fine with the S22U, but who knows the newer pixels somehow got compatibility issues with the charging standards.

You can try grab one of the ugreen or baseus 240w cables on when it's on sale. I noticed those somehow charged my old P8 slightly faster despite using the same charger.

Good cables play a part, 100w cables will do, unless u have other devices which need higher rated wattage. I am using ugreen cables currently and baseus cable which I used for P3 and P2XL back then which is already rated at 60w

I concur with the suggestion of using a USB C cable that is in compliance (if not close) to USB standards and power delivery.

Likewise, I've been using Ugreen and Anker 100W USB C cables and it has not given me any charging problems with my 2XL since. As for my chargers, I have multiple Ugreen and Anker 100W GaN and they have been reliable.

They charge up any of my Pixels as fast as the Pixel can take. There were rare occasions that I had to disable adaptive charging to get the quickest charge.

One thing to note - "charging speed" will be throttled when the Pixel is running "hotter" than when it is cool.

I thought adaptive charging takes a few days to learn your habits before it takes effect. I tend to charge my phone to 100% before bed then unplug it. I will try the cable that came with the phone later, but if it's really cable then it's gonna be sooooo annoying. I have 3 places I regularly go to and each place I have a dedicated charger and cable for phone charging.

And I'm quite sure I've always bought cables capable of 40gbps and 200w charging. The same cable I use to charge my pixel last night, I'm currently using it to charge my HP laptop from work which requires 45W, no issue

Dxo is dxo, ultimately what looks nicer to you is more impt.

Like i find x7u photos better than iphone, xiaomi, google. Didnt put in on the pc to pixel peep or compare, but it didnt fare well in display which makes part of the photo looks good on the phone

iirc any android phone with gemini able to do so right? maybe can try on yours

 

[Griggs]

Wah first time I encountered issue on my galaxy buds 2 pro. Paired with my p9p and was all fine, after listening to music for about 30min I stopped the music but continued using the phone with no media playing while keeping the earbuds on.

After another 15-20min I went to play a video, only the right earbuds have any audio coming out. I put it back into the case and re-pair it and it seems fine again. I hope it's a one time thing, never had any issues with my buds 2 pro before.

 

[crow_nest]

Now almost 12pm and my shopee tracking still says parcel at sorting facility... I guess I'll only be getting mine tomorrow

Shhhh, you say this, pixel 9 has one less selling point

 

[kashix]

Go your all time case la, spigen liquid crystal

Still selling this uh? I recently became ringke fan

Bought the matte black hybrid case from Spigen, quite disappointing. The camera cut out is way too big and leaves too much gap around the camera module to collect dust. I thought spigen should have good precision in their manufacturing, didn't expect this at all.

The clear back side also very fingerprint magnet.

Thinking of getting the official case from Google as I've heard good things about it. What other cases are you guys using that you would recommend?
