Does Gemini still fail to do all Google Assistant tasks? Such as reminders, home controls, etc.?

I remember it falling so hard when it first rolled out and I never have it another shot. Is it any better?

Best guess I have is to install home, run MAS again to activate a pro key, upgrade to pro inside windows.

Probably a better way, but that one should work. I was able to upgrade from home to pro this way.

You may already know, but just wanted to report that the megathread is down.

Edit: Back up

It's not, basic functionality has been lost, and instead of completing your requests, it initiates a search/conversation.

A few commands did work and it routed it through Assistant, but after failing my daily tasks I promptly uninstalled.

Here's hoping they make a great product. I usually like to wait till a 3rd Gen product before jumping in, but I'm missing the versatility my Galaxy fold 3 had. Love my pixel 7 pro too, really looking forward to getting the best of both worlds.

That's why I check back in every so often. I would love for it to be my main browser again, but they just have to polish those rough edges a little more.

I used to. I used Firefox as my daily browser for about 10 years. Desktop use there really isn't any significant difference, but I find the mobile experience for edge to be better.

I check in on Firefox every six months or so, and while feature parity is mostly there, the way they implemented the features just don't feel right? Like they're kinda backwards sometimes? It's hard to put into words, but they are different, and I prefer the way they function in edge.

Personally, I've been asking for this for years. Very excited to see this mostly for ublock origin. But there are a few other extensions I use daily that I'd like to have available.

That's correct

It's working on lemdro.id

That's not even all of them that I listed lol thankfully I've only ever paid full price for one.

I understand that for sure. This is the reason personally I don't buy a brand unless it's on at least it's 3rd generation.

I'm glad you're having a good experience with the same s9! I'm my experience, Samsung was the brand for me that had bad longevity. Of course it's all device to device though.

I'm writing this on a Pixel 7 Pro

So my android journey started with the moto G4 plus when I decided I was tired of giving my iphones to my mom every time she broke hers.

I loved that device because it was really simple and bear bones. Stock android if you will, with just a few extra features that were really nice Quality of Life features. That's what set me on the path towards a pixel after a handful of different brands.

Pixel 4 XL was my first pixel. The big draw for me was the face unlock and the stock experience. At the time, the new spam blocking features from Google assistant were important to me as well. I switched to that after the essential phone brand was officially dead.

Absolutely loved it, so much so that I got my dad a 4a when it released. It was dead simple for him to learn at 60 coming from an iPhone 5. So much that when COVID happened and we switched to masks, I was petty enough to pick up the pixel 5 for the fingerprint scanner (which my dad now has).

I strayed for about a year. I picked up the Galaxy Fold 3 at launch and it was mostly nice. I had so many bad experiences with Samsung, but this was pleasant if not a bit bloated. But I missed the simplicity, I missed the themeing, I missed the Google features.

So around the 10 month mark, my fold inner screen popped off and after having it replaced I put it for sale and bought a Pixel 6 pro second hand. I was skeptical at first because of the bad reviews, but it was a fantastic device in the end. I gifted that to my girlfriend and switched her from iPhone and picked up the Pixel 7 pro.

I always come back to the simpler android, but the pixel flavor is just something special. I've never witnessed any of the issues that people suggest that they have in their reviews. It just flows so well in my experience. I'll be looking forward to trying out a pixel fold when they get to a 3rd generation or so.

I love the simplicity, I love the extra features that Google assistant packs in, most of them are now bundled into the apps as opposed to just being locked to a pixel phone. My favorite part is that they're affordable (Comparatively). I'm glad to see that in Android 14 the best of the Samsung features are being implemented.
