Google Pixel Devices Facing Storage Issues After Update
After few customers encountered a storage access issue with the initial Android 14 release in October, Pixel devices may now be experiencing an additional issue with the January 2024 Google Play System Update.
Users say that after installing the January 2024 Google Play system update—which is not the same as the January 5, 2024 security update/patch—they are unable to access data from internal storage in any app. This causes a number of cascading problems, such as the Files app appearing empty and making it unable to shoot fresh photos or play downloaded music or video files. Some applications won’t function at all.

This sounds a lot like the problem that affected devices with multiple users enabled last year. But it looks like having the Google Play system update loaded is the problem today.
However, the majority of Pixel (and other Android) users are still using the November 2023 release, therefore the January 2024 upgrade is not yet generally available. (You may verify by going to System & updates > Security & privacy > Settings app.) That should prevent the problem from affecting other users because Google can simply stop the distribution.
Owners of the Pixel 8, 7, and 6 series are also reporting this issue.
How Google fixes the issue for users who have installed it is still unknown. A system update was required the last time. Your device’s data might be retrieved via the previously described OTA if it wasn’t caught in a “Pixel is starting” boot loop.

While you’re on the phone, the buds can cut down on background noise, and the sound quality is pretty damn good. According to Google, you may use the earbuds for up to five hours of listening time and 2.5 hours of talking before having to put them back in their case.
It looks like you can listen for up to 24 hours straight before charging the case. After just 15 minutes of charging, you may extend the listening time by three hours with the use of rapid charging.
There isn’t actual active noise cancellation present, but there is an adaptive sound feature that lets you set the volume automatically.

Gemini To Get Assistant Routines
Assistant Routines may soon be supported on Gemini, according to an APK dissection of the Google app.
One of the main reasons so many are using Google Assistant rather than signing up for Gemini is that it lacks routines.
Regretfully, neither the precise integration of Routines into Gemini nor the possible release date are known

Google first launched Google Assistant Routines back in 2017. You can use this functionality to perform several actions with a single voice command. Saying “Hey Google, let’s watch a movie,” for instance, would cause Assistant to simultaneously turn out the lights, switch on the TV, and put your phone in do not disturb mode.
Even while Google is pitching Gemini, its generative AI-powered assistant, as a replacement for Google Assistant, Gemini still lacks Routines-like functionality. Fortunately, that might not last long.
Based on work-in-progress code, an APK breakdown assists in forecasting features that might be added to a service in the future. It’s possible, though, that these anticipated features won’t be released to the general public.

The Google app for Android is now in beta version 15.24.28.29.arm64 beta. We discovered a work-in-progress page that makes explicit reference to Assistant Routines and how Gemini would support them. This page is viewable in the screenshot below, which we must stress is a work in progress:
Based on the information available on this website, it seems that Gemini will not be getting its own Routines system—at least not quite yet. Rather, it seems that Gemini will allow you to manage Assistant Routines. It will be awkward because you will have to use Assistant to create new routines and Gemini to activate them, but at least it’s an improvement over nothing.
While there are many additional features that Assistant can perform that Gemini cannot, one of the main drawbacks that keep Android users from fully committing to Gemini is likely the inability to control routines. If nothing else, this APK disassembly demonstrates Google’s ongoing efforts to bring Gemini’s features up to line with Assistant.
Regretfully, we are unsure of the timeline for when this functionality will be activated. However, given that it’s showing up in beta code, we anticipate it to be available in a few weeks or months.
