    I'm happy with my 4 xl

    Right on brother! Me as well, didn't need to upgrade from my 2 XL, but the 4 XL was too tempting. It's been great for me, the gesture nav, the camera and the battery life have been absolutely great. And the screen is just awesome! Perfect for me, no regrets!

    It's like Google is trying to fail

    Um, a fingerprint scanner works when you're asleep/unconcious too. Define "most" and where did you get that idea? Battery? Ok, I'll give you that one. ;-)

    Bluetooth after Pie

    Bluetooth problems I have, and haven't called Google yet. However, I had another issue after upgrading to Pi where incoming calls wouldn't ring and no notification until someone left a voicemail. Anyway, I texted Google customer support and they were great. Did some troubleshooting and they...

    Notifications Delayed or Stopped?

    My replacement phone came with Oreo, so I’ve left it there. That said the old phone actually started receiving calls when I returned home from my trip. I realized the only difference was that Fi was connected to T-Mobile at home and was connected to Sprint when I upgraded to Pie when I was...

    Android 9 Pie... Do you like it?

    Hate it. Since I upgraded I can no longer receive incoming calls. Battery life is worse. Next time I'll wait for the dust to settle before an upgrade.

    Notifications Delayed or Stopped?

    Great! Unfortunately my phone would no longer get incoming calls. The only way I would know if someone called me was if they left a voicemail. Didn't matter if phone was screen on or asleep. Replacement phone should be here today so I'll see if that helps.

    Notifications Delayed or Stopped?

    Update#2: Spoke to Google Fi support again and they think it is my hardware, so they are replacing my phone. I am skeptical because so many of us have this issue but I’m willing to take one for the team!?????? Hey it might be worth it if it comes with Oreo instead. Only other downside is...

    Notifications Delayed or Stopped?

    Update: the Fi app fix didn't hold and I'm back to no incoming calls. I'll be contacting them again since they gave me a case number. I'll update after I speak with them.

    Notifications Delayed or Stopped?

    Contacted Google about this and after some basic trouble shooting the connected me with Project Fi support. Fi had me delete the cache and storage from the Fi app and reregister. Reboot after reregistering. It has helped so far. I'm receiving calls whether the screen is on or off or locked...

    Are you switching to the S9/S9+?

    Nope, went Pixel 2XL. Great camera and software no need to switch.

    So this wireless charging "thing"...

    Had wireless charging with my S7 Edge and don't have it with my Pixel 2XL. Thought I'd miss it, but I don't. It's a convenience but hardly a necessity. As for "true" wireless charging, I don't know about all that extra EM radiation directed to something in my pocket. I'd better adjust my tin...

    Samsung Galaxy S9+ or Pixel 2 XL?

    Don't forget the Pixel camera is outstanding! That said from your list of likes above sounds like you've made your decision. I don't think you can make a bad choice, but it seems like the S9+ might be best for you.

    Samsung Galaxy S9+ or Pixel 2 XL?

    I was deciding between those two as well. I went with the Pixel 2 XL after the rumored price increase of the S9 and S9+. I'm just not going to spend a grand or more on a phone in 2018. That said, I'm really happy with the Pixel. To me, the screen is not as bad as folks make it out to be. Blue...

    Best Google Pixel 2 Tempered Glass Screen Protectors

    Re: Screen protector for Pixel 2 XL? Using the Power Support glass screen protector from Google with a Caseology Vault. The combo works great, but the protector is a real fingerprint magnet.

    Upgrade from S7 Edge

    I went to a Verizon store and tried the Note 8 for size and man is it tall! I'm 6'2" with large hands and I found it difficult to one hand it. The S pen is cool, but I think the S9+ is as tall as I would like to go.
