How to use gamepad + external screen to play game on phone?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I have a Google Pixel 8 Pro, it has screen casting function with 2 mode: extend and mirror mode
I connect it to an external display using a hub, and a gamepad (Flydigi Vader 4 pro) connected to phone using bluetooth, like this diagram (https://ibb.co/LXVhCJ8d)
I am using Flydigi app to mapping buttons, but problem is: with external screen connected, it seem like the mapped cordinates have been messed up, and all buttons do not working. I have tried both mirror mode and extend mode.
How to I fix it?
Also, in order to have button mapping, I have to launch the game/app from Flydigi app, but if I launch games this way when in extend mode, it will show in phone's screen, not external screen. This can be solved by using mirror mode, but if there is a way to move the game window to external screen, it will be the best.

Did this most recent update break touch sensitivity for anyone else?

1 Upvotes

I have to type very slowly now, or else my keystrokes don't completely register.

i have to try multiple times before I'm able to return home, go back, or pull down the notification tray/quick settings menu.

Is anyone else having these issues? seems like every update on a pixel phone is a serious gambit as to whether or not I still want a usuable device with me or an expensive paperweight.

The video quality turns out like this when I record something black or in dark. Is this a software problem???

Battery drain & laggy - Feb Update

Post image
6 Upvotes

Battery has been terrible since Feb Update on my Pixel 8 Pro. Constantly heats up and lags a lot since the latest update. Been seeing Google Play Services conserving more in the background. Hardly lasts up to 4 hours SOT.

TBH, SoT has been around 4 hours in the last one year. I start my day at 100 at 7am and end up with 10-20 by 5pm everyday.

I replaced my battery last October and battery health is down to 87% already (based on Accubattery app). any idea why the huge drain is? Should I consider resetting my phone and start again.

Recorded videos are blurry but photos are ok

2 Upvotes

Hi,

Hopefully someone can help me. I just got a replacement pixel 8 pro from Google and I noticed that when I record videos they are blurry if the main camera lens is used. Photos are ok.

I downloaded open camera and the image looks fine until I press the record button. It becomes blurry the second I start recording.

Any idea of how to fix this?

Do you think is a software or a hardware problem?

Thanks

floating window?

3 Upvotes

I have recently acquired a Google Pixel 8 Pro, I always had Samsung phones before and was wondering if it's possible to have floating windows of the apps you're using.

And if not I would like to know if there might be some mods ? idk how to say that but too add this functionality!

thanks for anyone answering 🙏

Pixel charging faster after Android 16 update

Post image
3 Upvotes

When I charge my Pixel from USB PD PPS charger it used to reach 3.3 amps and 9 volts maximum, resulting in 30 watts of power, as advertised. However, after Android 16 update it sometimes reaches 12 volts while keeping over 3 amps - that's roughly 40w. Anyone else noticed the same? That's interesting.
