yeah I’ve got 400 hours into the phone version alone lol. I’m stoked


yeah I suppose it’s time to try a reset


I actually switched to beta hoping it would fix the broken biometrics update, was using standard release before that.


ah dang I do use rcs, that would be annoying


graphene os advice
so I've got a pixel 6A and I really like the device itself, but the last several months of updates have just screwed it up over and over again. first I lost my fingerprint sensor and it still hasn't been fixed with any of the updates. now with one of the more recent beta updates I have seen intermittent cell service issues in areas where I never used to have service issues. I've been considering switching over to graphene for a while now but wanted some feedback on how that works when I'm not really trying to disconnect from the rest of Google services. I use family link for my kids tablets, I use Google pay I use Gmail etc. Will I have any issues if I switch using the same Google services? also I use Nova launcher, and it would be convenient if I could save that profile and import it, assuming Nova works just fine on graphene as well?

yeah that’s where it used to be for me, and I had it set up.

it just literally vanished after the update.


no that’s not what I mean, I mean the setting is literally gone. there is no biometrics option.

any app that I previously used fingerprint login glitches out trying to load the bio pop-up, there is no lock screen option, etc.


any other pixel 6 users lose their fingerprint and biometrics settings options completely after the latest update?
I'm on Android 13 not 14 and I've seen reports a few months ago about this happening for 14. I've got no option to update or roll back and all fingerprint related settings and the fingerprint functionality have just vanished as if it's not being detected at all. very frustrating trying to remember passwords for all sorts of apps that expect biometric login. anyone else see this or have a fix for it?
