    Google store shipping dates accurate?

    You're new around here, aren't you :p No, it's not accurate, never was, and apparently never will be. There's a big ole thread about this: http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-pixel-pixel-xl/731271-google-pixel-xl-preorder-order-shipping-thread.html

    Google Pixel XL - Preorder /order/shipping thread

    Mine just went from Pending to Processing, so probably shipping today, which is a day late (still says October 24-25 delivery date). Black 32 XL ordered from Fi on the 21st.

    Google Pixel XL - Preorder /order/shipping thread

    It was definitely similarly botched with my 6P. The agonizing wait for it to change from "pending" to "processing", and then the further agony of waiting for it to change from "processing" to "shipped" ... But my email trail shows they sent me a "shipped" notification on 9/27, and FedEx tracking...

    Google Pixel XL - Preorder /order/shipping thread

    Me too. Pretty frigging annoying to pay for overnight shipping, and they can't even give me an updated ship date. It's obviously not coming today.

    Any moderate to heavy users think 32 GB will be enough with all the cloud storage options?

    Admitting you have a problem is the first step on the road to recovery!

    Upgrading nexus to pixel!

    Just caved on the XL, and feel like a total tool for spending this much on a phone when my 6p is mostly great.

    Any moderate to heavy users think 32 GB will be enough with all the cloud storage options?

    I don't think it has anything to do with how much you use your phone, but how much you like to hoard stuff. If you just NEED to have a collection of 4K movies on your phone, and your 100,000 mp3 files, 32GB will be an issue for you. I have no use for a phone with more than 32GB, and I use my...

    Assistant said she'd remind me which groceries to get....you wont believe what happened next!

    Don't have a Pixel yet, but on my 6P, location notifications with Android Pay work about 10% of the time. Probably has something to do with Google trying to balance battery life with location checking frequency ... and failing.

    (Poll) If you could change ONLY 1 thing about the Pixel, what is it?

    OIS can reduce blur in still photos significantly at longer exposure times. EIS cannot.

    Is everyone not understanding the value in the Pixels pricing?

    Here's what I understand: Most of the price increase (over Nexus phones) will be going in Verizon's pocket. A bunch will be paying for the advertising blitz that will undoubtedly begin soon. Some will cover the enhanced customer support (that I would probably never use).

    Gmail & Keep not syncing

    This has been an ongoing problem for years. It comes and goes, sometimes the sync toggle works, sometimes I have to switch to an alternate mail client until it decides to fix itself. Sometimes I go months without a problem, but I know eventually it will come back, so I have trained myself to...

    Nightstand docks? Where are they?

    Docks went away when phones got wireless charging. Oh wait ...

    Do you use Android Pay?

    You don't need to launch Android Pay at all. Just unlock your phone and hold it up to the terminal. I use it at the vending machines at work, and that's about it.

    Naked or Case?

    I don't know what this has to do with my but hole, but I'm very careful about where I put it, and I'm mindful when pocketing and unpocketing. I've owned a smartphone since before they were called smartphones, never used a case or screen protector for more than a week, and have never had worse...

    Love the phone! Some initial thoughts

    It is much less slippery than a hagfish, but for a phone, I would not say it is grippy in any way shape or form. Not saying this has been a problem for me, but if you're expecting it to be grippy, you'll be disappointed. My LG G3 would happily sit on an open palm at 45 degrees and go nowhere...

    Screen Color

    Mine is very white and uniform. I would imagine they must do some calibration of these screens at the factory, since OLED panels are not very consistent.

    Note 5 or 6P

    The fingerprint reader is working much better for me on the 6P than it did on the Note 5. Actually, it hasn't failed me yet, while the Note had maybe an 80% success rate. When it did work on the Note, I was constantly hitting the home button because it's like 1mm from the reader button. I will...

    Nexus 6P Bending and Breaking Thread

    Re: Anyone have the "bulge" on the back/bottom piece? No bump on mine. Maybe try applying a little heat, or just get a new one.

    Nexus 6p maybe to tall?

    It's a big phone, and that comes with trade-offs that you need to get used to, or not. I owned a Note 5 for a week, and noticed several places where I could put my G3 that the Note 5 would not fit so well ... it stuck out of my bike jersey pocket, and it was too heavy for my car sun visor to...
