There is also Hide My Applist xposed module for rooted phones.

My medical app doesn’t let me take a screenshot of the bill statement when I wanted to contest an upcharge.

luckily there was still an option to download a pdf, but still there was no option at all to disable that BS.

Pixel 9 pro struggles with my finger scan if it’s too dry. I guess washing hands removes the body naturally produced oil and that makes it harder to scan.

I have the P9p and have more issues with the (ultra sonic) sensor than I did with the (optical sensor) on the previous P8p.

I even compared both in hand before trading in the older phone and the P8p scanning was much better.

Though I have to mention; to improve the optical sensor reading I had to do 4 fingerprints with different brightness for each scan, and that what helped a lot.

Too bad I can’t do the same with the Ultrasonic sensor since it doesn’t care about the brightness on the screen.

I learned it from another poster. I did the brightness trick when when I setup my fingerprintes (you setup four finger prints with the same finger, but with each fingerprint setup you change the brightness by %25 step. you start with the lowest brightness [assume it’s 0%] to the highest [%100] with each setup).

Thanks to that trick, I had at least %80 unlock success rate with my previous pixel 8P Pro!

I upgraded to the P9 Pro with the ultrasonic sensor, and unfortunately it’s actually worse than the optical for me, and add to that brightness trick doesn’t work with it either since it uses a different tech…

it’s hard to recommend the pixels when my own 7Pro has dust on the selfie camera but also it’s under the screen!!

I also suggested the phone to my friend when I got mine and she constantly keeps complaining about the battery. I should had told her to stick with the iPhone and be done. Thanks Google for the shitty hardware! and thanks to the Government for keeping Huawei, ZTE and Xiaomi out of the US market.
