Google Phone brings Material You element to the dial pad
9to5Google
The dialer app by Google is picking up more Material You elements and this time it is arriving on the dial pad.
This was actually first spotted back in February, but has only started to roll out recently. The number buttons are pill-shaped when untouched, and will turn rectangular when you tap on it. You could also find something similar over on the Calculator app and the lock screen PIN pad on Android 12.
Minor change but a nice little touch. The redesign dial pad is currently available for most users on v78 and it is also rolling out to non-Pixel devices too.

The emoji set used is the latest Emoji 14.0, which means you won't be missing out on any emoji options. Emoji preferences like skin tone and gender will be shared across other Google services, like Google Chat for example.
This feature will be rolling out over the coming month and is only available for selected Workspace tiers.

Android 12 QPR3 Beta 2 includes a fix for the Dirty Pipe exploit
9To5Google
Google has updated the Linux kernel on the latest build for the Pixel 6 series from 5.10.66 to 5.10.81.
As the fix is kernel-based, they seem to be catching up to Samsung which has already fixed the mentioned issue in their April update.
Seems like Google patched it by themselves as the official fix in the 5.10 kernel is from 5.10.108 which the Pixel 6 running QPR3 Beta 3 is not running.
Update: Freak07 (the developer of the Kirisakura kernel for the Pixel 6) has confirmed the fix of this exploit.

#News #Pixel #RightToRepair
Google is collaborating with iFixit to provide easier access to parts for Pixel 2 and newer devices.
Google Blog
Following the Right to Repair bill and a similar announcement from Samsung and Motorola, Google has announced a partnership with iFixit where official parts and fix kits for Pixel phones will be available for purchase from iFixit’s online store.
Parts will be available for every Pixel phone since the Pixel 2, including the latest Pixel 6 phones (sorry, Pixel 1 owners), with plans to provide parts for future phone models as well.
This makes it one of the more comprehensive official OEM repair programs, with more device models being supported than Apple, which only supports the iPhone 12 and 13, and Samsung, which only supports their Galaxy S20, S21, and Galaxy Tab S7+.

🚨 ATTENTION ALL DEVELOPERS 🚨
A community member of ours (@aetrnl) is making a bounty for a 5G workaround module for unsupported countries by Google.
Sebastian is a Senior Member on XDA that made a bounty back in 2012 to find a developer that could unlock the bootloader on the LG 4X which succeeded.
If you're interested in seeing the progress join @Pixel5GBounty and if you would like to donate, the link is here. So far we've collected 65USD.
Rules:
- All collected money goes to the person who will share a working software mod (Magisk/Xposed module, modem patch or whatever works)
After tests, bounty gets finished and the money will be sent.
- If we don't succeed or Google comes with an official solution, I will cancel this campaign and contact the support to force a refund.
- The developer has to release the module on GitHub or provide a stable download source (self-hosted, Google Drive, Telegram etc)

Announcement
Hey there, thanks for supporting us if you still do. It's been a while since we last posted Google related news on this channel. It's not us being lazy, but we are busy :(
Some might probably know, writing content on this channel isn't our main job, and we also have a lot of stuff to do in real life. On my side, stuff are starting to resume and I have less free time than usual like in the past few months. Also I myself haven't read a lot of articles either.
We will still try our best to post some important news over here if we can, like new Android beta version and new Android features, normal maintenance will only be back around mid-May.
That's all from us, take care.

Google Pixel 6 declines phone calls and changed ringtones & alarm sounds for no reason
r/GooglePixel (2)
Six months since the Pixel 6 was released, it is still buggy as usual. I highly suspect Google is doing this on purpose in order to enter headlines and promote Pixel devices to even more audiences. What a great strategy Google.
Anyway, let's discuss the recent new bugs with the April update for Pixel devices. Phone call is one of the core features of phones and Google literally messed it up. Multiple Pixel 6 owners reported they didn't get notified about phone calls, despite having Flip to shh and Do not disturb disabled.
Besides, other Pixel device owners who have recently updated noticing their alarm and ringtone sound changed. Some users also reported their own imported sounds disappeared too. What users can do now is to switch it back manually and hopefully Google could fix it with the next update, else it might recur again.

Pixel 6a won't have Motion Mode, launching in more countries
MySmartPrice | Kamila Wojciechowska
We knew the next upcoming phone by Google is the mid-range Pixel 6a, and here are some rumors about the phone.
In the Pixel Tips app, Kamila Wojciechowska found out the page about Motion Mode is only made available for devices with PIXEL_2021_EXPERIENCE, which the Pixel 6 series do. However, "bluejay" is excluded, which is the rumored Pixel 6a codename, and that likely means the feature won't made its way to the upcoming Google phone.
Pixel 6a is set to come with the good ol' 12MP sensors like older Pixel devices do, while Pixel 6 series have the new 50MP main rear lens, hence the reason why Google probably didn't include the feature.
Pixel 5a only made its way to Japan and US, and Google didn't expand the availability to any more countries. For Pixel 6a, it might not be the case this time and Google might launch it in more countries.
There are four models being found in FCC listings, which are all related to the Pixel 6a:

Google Lens on desktop allows users to translate and copy text
Google Lens can help users search for images without having to manually type. It has been a while since it made its way to the Chrome desktop platform, and recently it has got some neat update.
When right-clicking on an image, click on "Search images with Google Lens" will first open a sidebar and show you the results. This is great for those who just want to do stuff quick like copying a few texts for example.
Yeah, you heard it right. The desktop version of Google Lens can finally copy text and also translate it. Previously, it could only find similar images on the web. After selecting text, you will get search results and also shortcuts to copy, listen, translate and open it in Google Search.
For translate, you get the complete results on the right panel and on the image itself. There are also shortcuts on the right panel to let you copy all the texts and open it in Google Translate with one click.
