    Super choppy scrolling

    The first 2XL I tried in a shop had very choppy scrolling in apps and on the Google feed, but didn't experience it in the next demo unit I had a play with nor the one I eventually bought.

    How is Call Quality on the Pixel 2 & 2 XL?

    The background noise cancellation on the Pixel 2 is remarkable. I've been in a crowded pub and the person on the other end has thought I've been sat in my car.

    Pixel 2 or .... stay with my U11

    The camera is better on the Pixel 2, as is the screen due to the U11 not allowing you to view it in landscape when wearing polarised glasses. The latter was the only reason I sent my U11 back. If these aren't that important to you I'd stick with the HTC, it's by far the prettiest phone on the...

    Pixel 2/2 XL - December Update (OTA) 12/5

    Re: Pixel 2/2 XL - December Update 12/5 For those of you brave enough to go down the deleting Services Framework route, try taking the SIM out first. No idea why but this worked for me when leaving it in didn't.

    Pixel 2 XL vs Samsung S8.. HELP!!

    I've got a Pixel 2XL and the wife has an S8. The blue shift is next to unnoticeable on the Samsung and is quite apparent on the Pixel once you tilt it beyond 45° (it's worse when you tilt it horizontally compared to vertically to my eyes). I've had none of the other reported issues with the...

    No update for Pixel 2 XL in UK

    I took the SIM out, cleared the data and cache from and then restarted Google services framework, then restarted the phone. After about the their time I pressed "check for update" it came through. Interestingly the first time I attempted it, I reinserted the SIM which cancelled the update and...

    November Security Update (Also Saturation/Nav Bar Fade Update)

    I ended up taking the SIM out, deleting the cache and data then force stopping the Google services framework then restarted the phone. Had to spam the update button a few times but it worked for me (unlocked Pixel 2XL in the UK).

    Anybody get their Free Google Home Mini Yet? (Update: Yes some are getting them now)

    What in the name of sweet Yoda is that slumped on your porch??? An deceased FedEx delivery person? An exFedEx if you will ?

    Real world data reception vs the iPhone

    I have a Pixel 2 for my own use and an iPhone 7 Plus through work, both on the same network. Without exception the Pixel has better reception than the iPhone, managing to connect to 4G when the fruity product can only achieve a 3G signal and sometimes no connection at all.

    Pixel 2 XL judder when scrolling?

    Thanks. Otherwise the screen looked fine, they had it next to an iPhone X and there wasn't much in it really with the Apple only coming out trumps thanks to it not juddering. Got a Pixel 2 already and loving it but finding the reduced screen size a bit limiting.

    Pixel 2 XL judder when scrolling?

    Can anyone with a Pixel 2 XL tell me whether it's a common issue for the screen to judder when scrolling slowly? Had a play with one in a shop and it seemed pretty distracting. The smaller Pixel 2 scrolls very smoothly. Wondering whether it was an issue with that particular handset or if it's...

    Has Anyone Here Used Both the G6 and U11?

    Both great devices but the LG exhibits a bit of lag and delay with the UI, opening apps etc. The U11 is the fastest phone I've ever used, iPhones, pixels and galaxies included.

    HTC U 11 fingerprint reader/home button lags? Ayone experience this?

    Nope. The finger print sensor is almost instantaneous on mine.

    Zoe (live) Photos?

    The Zoe Editor just seems to be for actual video clips, not like the Zoe option that used to be baked into the camera app on precious HTCs. Considering they pretty much pioneered this feature I'm perplexed as to why it's been removed, especially as it was on the 10.

    Zoe (live) Photos?

    I've been enjoying my Red U11 for a few days now (especially the superb music playback and speediness it exhibits compared to the S7 Edge it replaced) but I'm missing the live photos. My wife had an M7 which had HTC's Zoe photos, but I can't find the option on the U11. I used to find them useful...

    How-to: Get a much faster and better Samsung Internet browser on your S7 Edge

    Really? I would have thought that 30-13 would be a later release than 20-45, based on normal release naming rules.

    s7 edge 7.0 beta thread

    If you bought it direct from Vodafone it's still seen as a carrier locked phone, even if they unlock it for you at a later date. To get an actual unlocked phone in the UK you have to buy direct from Samsung, from Three, or from a third party seller such as Carphone Warehouse or Clove.
