another tip for everyone getting to their settings. if you swipe down with two fingers you wont have to do a second swipe to get past the notification menu first.
@abarzua21able I've been Samsung exclusive for well over a decade, currently on S22 Ultra. I love Samsung, I just wanted a different Android experience.
Hey, this was a really useful video! I'm still trying to figure out my phone. I just got it a few days ago. What I'm trying to figure out and Google support people weren't able to help me is if I want my phone on do not disturb mode. Is there a way to see when the phone is ringing on the screen right now when it is selected I don't see a call and I want to be able to see if somebody is calling me and decide if I want to answer it. Thanks in advance
I appreciate your effort making these video's. I just switched from long-time iPhone user to Pixel 9 Pro yesterday, and this really helped me learning how to navigate and personalize my new phone :) thank you.
I just got a Pixel 9 Pro and this video has helped me so much. Thank you for such a thorough and engaging review. I'm enjoying my new phone even more now. 👍
I just wanted to say a huge thanks for the vid, it's spot on! It's the most comprehensive one I've seen about the Pixel 9. As soon as I get my Pixel, I'm going to set up all the points you mentioned, one by one, just the way I like it. Of course, I've subscribed!!!
@@WhatGearlovely, can't wait. My phone arrives early next week. Quick question if you don't mind me asking, how do I get that moving clock you have on your home screen? I ADORE it.
Just bought a pixel 9 pro and I planned my whole evening setting it up and putting to rest my pixel 6 pro. Playing some runescape at my pc and following your video is so relaxing. Thank you
Another useful tip is to star all of your family and friends within contacts. Then under do not disturb settings go to people and opt for starred contacts can interrupt. I then live with do not disturb on. My phone then only makes a noise for those starred contacts.
This is a great tip but isn't specific to only Pixel 9 or other phones. I've used the same method on all Android phones for the last 10 years and after swapping devices, the next device will remember who was starred previously. I've used Samsung, OnePlus, Sony, Asus and Google phones and it works on all of them. It's not a Pixel-only opinion but a good one nonetheless.
Wow - awesome video. Switched to this phone after having an iPhone the past 18 months (Galaxy before that). This video assured me I made the right decision. Thanks for sharing!!
I found this video is extremely useful. So much information that I found myself pausing it and coming back to it the first two days of ownership of my 9 Pro XL. Thank you
Just making the switch from an iphone 15pro to pixel 9pro and these videos are really useful. I used to have an Android device(s) back in maybe 2009-2010 and after that jumped to iOS because I can’t stand how buggy and broken android was and now - wow, actually they made a leap forward and making me switch back 😀🙏
Waiting on my first Google phone to arrive today. I've gone for the 9 Pro XL, so really looking forward to getting my hands on it... especially the AI elements 😊 Just watched your 'Tips & Tricks' and have to say your content and presentation style is spot on... Thank you 👍🏻
@@WhatsYourDadSnap I had the fold five and switch to the pro XL to. The pixels are just better. I had the 6 pro and I missed it a lot while having the Samsung.
@WhatsYourDadSnap I just ordered mine after having samsung since note 4 I'm very excited my last pure android was the HTC g2 or something like that lol
Wow I've been a long time Android user, back to the Nexus line (since Nexus S). The 9 Pro XL is my 7th Android phone, yet I've learned many things thanks to your video. Thank you
Thanks, I'm a long long time user of pixels (since the 2, and Nexus's before that!) and I even found a thing or two in the vid that I didn't know about
Thank you for this video - I've mainly used Samsung for the last few years and since yesterday I got my first Pixel (9pro XL) and for the first time I've found a useful video (yours) - great features that I didn't know about - I'm looking forward to more, especially to camera/video.
19:42 there's another setting in the developer options called "extra dim," which lets you turn down the brightness of the phone to insane levels (it's adjustable, but it can get dim to a point where it kind of foregoes color accuracy and mainly uses the dimmest colors, like reds and grays).
You should show the turn animation scale to 0.5 all three of them which are in the developer mode for more quicker and beautiful respond, seriously speeds up the phone. Other than that it was a great video 👏👏👏👍
Thanks for a great setup! How do I rearrange my app icons that isn't on the start screen? Every time i try to move them around, they get added to the start screen 😅
26:21 Thank you so much for reminding me that we can tap on the back! I hate the way we need to capture screenshots on the 9 XL and setting the double tap on the back to capture one is a game changer.
Hey, do you know if this still works with a case on the phone? I supposed not? The XL is way too big for me to confortably use the normal screenshot method.
@@fms2754 It should work, works on my 7 pro. Might depend on the thickness of the case. It doesn't work 100 percent of the time. I usually restart when I notice it's not responding to the double tap.
Hi thanks for the great video. I have a problem though, the dark theme is not really having pure black and also we can't choose pure black in the system colors. Any ways I can set pure black for my system background?
Have you noticed mushy power and volume buttons on the XL, almost no click at all. 9 and 9 pro don't have this problem but XL does seem to have a hardware hiccup. Also noticed in a store a shiny frame had scratches already.
hi been very helpful so far, i went for a google pixl 6 to a pixel 9 pro xl today. but i cant get the widgets to open up , any help will be much appreciated thanks rob.
