Pixel Stand Photo Frame, Not showing notifications ? - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

Hi,
I just received my Google Pixel Stand this morning.
Upon setting it up I activated Photo Frame in order to display my photos from my different Google Photo albums.
However when I receive a notification, how should I actually know ?
The photo keeps on being displayed, and there is nothing showing that I actually have notification.

[Q] DHD Camera Gallery

Anyone else had this problem??
All of a sudden am having problem with photo's taken on my Desire HD.
Recent pictures taken do not show an image in the Gallery, they just show grey background with an exclamation marked icon and do nothing when selected on screen, videos will play but no thumbnail is shown in the gallery.
Tried copying images to view on PC but get error message saying "JPEG marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete)". Yet was able to view image immediately after taking the photo, but cannot now.
Any ideas? Thanx

Contact pictures not showing when phone rings

When the phone rings I get a notification on the moto 360 but even though I have the contact picture showing on the phone the watch is showing a grey image that you get when you don't have a picture for the contact.
What's worth mentioning is I see the contact pictures when there's a missed call or a text but not when phone is ringing.
Is that the case for everyone?

Mine acts the same. I'm pretty sure when I had a Gear Live it did that too. Hopefully this will be fixed in AW 2.0

This is how mine acts too. No image while getting the call. Shows image in missed call notification. Am i missing any setting here ?
Mine shows the contact pics just fine... there's a delay for a second or so after the phone rings, but it shows up for me.
Do you have the latest Moto update installed?

Google Photos and "auto enhancement"

Hi all
Can anyone else confirm if they have this "feature"
In Google Photos (not the old? google+ photos or whatever it was), when flicking to a photo so swiping to next photo, a split second after the photo is on screen it then changes colour tone or whatever.
There seems to be an auto enhance feature and its doing my head in.
No option anywhere to seemingly turn that off!
Hopefully I have not just made anyone aware of it which will now drive them insane
If others can confirm / deny and share my hate for this "feature" then maybe we can present our case to Google to at least allow that to be turned off.
Yeah man I've noticed that before but never thought much of it. There is definitely a little bit of a shift shortly after loading a new pic.

Pixel Stand (Photos Not Showing)

For whatever reason, I can't get my photos to display on my Pixel Stand when docking my phone (it only shows the current time). I have that option switched to on--and selected the albums I want to show--in the stand's settings. Have I missed a step?

It takes a very brightly lit room to trigger the photos album feature. I was wondering why mine wasn't working in my bedroom until I opened the window during the day. It will not work at night in my bedroom with my dull lighting
Ahhh! I didn't think of it from the brightness of the room aspect. Thank you!

Huawei Watch GT Question

I'm considering purchasing this watch. When a notification arrives does the watch face light up immediately to show the notification or does a button need to be pressed to view the notification?
Hi, mate. Yes is light up and vibrate except when is in do not disturb mode.

Thanks. So just to confirm.....if I receive a text, it lights up and shows the text that I just received so that I can immediately read it?
Also, can the screen timeout be changed? I realise that there is a mode where it can be kept on for 5 minutes, but can the normal timeout time be changed?
Yes, you cand read text message, email, whatsapp etc, anything what is show in notification panel. Screen timeout can be changed 5 min to 20 min and if you need its a option for allways standby screen.
I just got this watch and it is pretty inconsistent. For a text it shows the whole text, in other apps only partial text (I'm guessing 80 to 100 characters). For an email, all you get is sender and subject. So to me the notifications are simply not worth the cost. I want to read the content of the email to determine if it's worth me taking out my phone. It's a real shame because it is a beautiful watch but so far it's a pretty big meh from me (vs the Pebble).

It’s not the shame of the watch. You should have studied what it can do before deciding to buy it. Watch GT is more like a sportwatch than a smartwatch. Therefore, you cannot expect smartwatch features from it.
I did a lot of research but finding someone who actually shows the full breadth of notifications is nearly impossible. In watching videos, people showed that it received email notifications from Gmail but never showed or stated that it's only sender and subject. So I did my research but without being able to test myself I would not have known. This is why I replied here.
Also it's still a shame because just giving me two lines of the email would make this watch killer!! It's still great though.

The watch vibrates when you receive a notifications but does not automatically turn the screen on. If you want to see the notification, after the vibration you have to raise your wrist to turn on the screen or push the up button.
Hello everyone. Is it possible to force heart rate detection while swimming on the GT? I tried to set generic exercise while swimming and the heart rate is recorded.
