    Pixel 3 won't charge on Google USB-C cable but sometimes will on 3rd party one

    My Pixel 3 will no longer charge using the Google-issued USB-C cable, but it *oftentimes* (but not always) will charge using a 3rd party USB-C cable. It will also charge wirelessly on a Pixel Stand. The corded Google Buds that came with the phone also no longer work. I've cleaned out the USB-C...

    Got my PB2's yesterday, already initiated a return today...

    So I got my PB2s yesterday and have already initiated a return. Pretty disappointing as I liked a LOT about them: the sound (pleasantly surprised there), the vent (was concerned they'd let in too much outside noise but they didn't), the gestures (pretty great), the Google Assistant...

    How much sound leakage do the PB2s have?

    With the vents on the PB2s, I've read that they leak sound more than other non-vented earbuds. Is it a lot? Like if I were riding a relatively quiet morning bus (whenever THAT will happen again) and am rocking out, will people be able to hear my music a lot more than other earbuds?

    Pixel 3 owners: what's your next phone?

    Title says it all. Curious to know what Pixel 3 owners are thinking for their next phone (what and when). Personally I'm looking at using my Pixel 3 at least another year, so perhaps getting the Pixel 6? Or perhaps the Pixel 5a.

    Anyone going to upgrade from the Pixel 3 to the 4a?

    I see the 4a is supposed to go for $349. Even with that price point I'm not sure if it's worth upgrading from the Pixel 3. Anymore I'm a new phone every 3-4 years kinda guy though...

    What was the best deal Google gave for going from Pixel 2 to Pixel 3?

    When the Pixel 3 came out, what was the best deal Google gave for trading in a Pixel 2? Just wondering what kind of trade-in deals we could see when the Pixel 4 comes out in a few months.

    Cannot find Pixel Stand app

    Ok, maybe a dumb question, but where is the Pixel Stand app? I've searched the Google Play store, searched my phone with Assistant to see if it's already on my phone, nothing. My Stand is no longer showing anything on my P3's screen when charging, and is also usually charging "slowly." So...

    Is there any downside to leaving my Pixel 3 on the Pixel Stand all day?

    I finally bought a Pixel Stand and I plan on keeping it on my desk at work. Anyway, is there any downside to leaving my Pixel 3 on it all day, every day? To the battery, or to anything else?

    2 GB used in one day-- no idea how.

    My wife and I have been averaging using 1 GB per month total so far in the few months we've been on Fi. This last Saturday though I somehow used 2 GB in one day! I have no idea how. I went out to a restaurant that night, opened Facebook and Instagram maybe a couple times, took a pic of the...

    Am I the only person left who turns their phone off at night?

    Reading threads on overnight issues like battery drain, etc, I find myself wondering if I'm the only person left who just turns off their phone at night. Phone gets a reboot daily, battery gets used about 1/3 less than if always on.... Am I the only one?

    Thoughts on Android Central's article on Pixel 3's "horrendously slow" camera?

    https://www.androidcentral.com/im-fed-how-slow-google-pixel-3-camera The author says it can take the camera on his P3 five seconds to open(!). For me it's nearly instantaneous. i'm not sure how much I've tried using the camera while listening to music though which they say makes it even...

    Google Sounds app

    Anyone tried the new Google Sounds app yet? Sounds like it comes with December security patches (which I still don't have). https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-sounds-app-931185/

    Any reason to keep the box?

    I got my new pixelbook while visiting in-laws and fly back today. Is there any reason to keep the box the PB came in? I'd rather not have to pack it in my bag for my flight... I could however see the box being useful if there were any issue with my PB and I had to ship it, although I've been...

    Black Friday deal: PIxelbook $699 vs buying used on Craigslist

    I see the PB is on sale in the Google Store for $699 starting today. I also have been hunting for used ones locally on Craigslist. The latter seems fraught with danger, but could save me a couple hundred. I see one locally for $650 including sleeve and pen. But I'm leaning new just to know...

    Had to get warranty replacement on my wife's Pixel 3

    My wife's white Pixel 3 finally arrived Friday but it had a pretty major issue: when on a phone call using headphones (any headphones-- included ones, old iphone ones with dongle, etc), the audio clipped out every 5 seconds or so for 1-2 seconds. Anyone else run into this? I contacted...
