Good point! Thanks for the reminder. I actually did that once or twice the other day, then forgot that it was an option.
This way is better than nothing, but IMO still weird to be left out of the Quick Toggles. I don't really use Silent mode, but if one wanted to, you can't enact it by the method you mentioned. The Galaxy phones have the 3 options right from the Quick Toggles where it should be IMO. It's a very small thing overall still.
Oh, I agree. I would much rather have a quick setting, too.
Same here. I wish the Pixel had the sound toggle in the quick settings too. I'm so used to that from my Samsungs. I'm coming from the Note 7, and I never preferred a curved screen. I also didn't use the stylus ever on either my Note 4 or Note 7.
Check out an app called Volume Ace. It has a widget that lets you toggle through your volume profiles. I love it and have to install it on every phone.Good point! Thanks for the reminder. I actually did that once or twice the other day, then forgot that it was an option.

Hahahahaha, heck no. They're not even in the same league. The design and technology packed into the Note 7 is like comparing a VW to an S-Class Mercedes. The only thing the Pixel has going for it is updates and stock Droid, but even the stock Droid benefit is debatable. I would feel the same way as the OP.I felt your pain, but the pixel is pretty close to the note 7 if not better in some areas
omg! i am sooooo with you! Samsung Pay is like crack...Giving it up and ONLY being able to use NFC enabled terminals is UNTHINKABLE for me...lol
IF you have never used it then Android/ApplePay is DEFINITELY "good enough" BUT if you have, going backwards isn't an option....Mayyyybe once NFC is accepted EVERYWHERE, i'll consider it, but for now, HAVE to have Samsung Pay with MST!

I am with you, but there are still enough places that it doesn't work (gas stations) or impractical (most restaurants) that I always have to have my wallet with me. That is what made me less addicted. If it was the point that I could leave my wallet at home . . . . I would have never left.
You should still do it. That phone really is not safe. Also, find out why you haven't gotten you box yet. If you got it through your carrier or at BestBuy, you should be able to walk in there and have them take it back, as well.My XL is sitting in the counter and I can't bring myself to activate it. I love my note 7 and don't have the return box yet. It figures I would be happy to wait on backorder but got it on day 1.

Samsung, LG and others include things. Google makes them in a way that others can include anything. Different philosophy, and neither is right or wrong.
Either way, the Tiles app is awesome.
You have to call, they send a special box. I got mine just before the Pixel XL came but haven't sent it back yet. Partly too busy setting up the Pixel, which is growing on me, though it will never be the Note, but still, excellet screen, decent camera, I've downloaded a bunch of apps to do some of what the Note was doing that I liked (the palm swipe screenshot, for one though I still haven't found an app to replicate the AOD that actually works), and the battery seems quite good. I am somewhat putting it off because it feels so final, and is. Ah well. Tomorrow, it gets packed up.Verizon won't take them back in store at the 3 corporate stores I've been to.
Definitely agree about the double tap. Wireless charging is, IMO, a step back in its current form. Wired charging is more beneficial currently.Google abandoned this after the N5 and I still wonder why. They also could have took the double tap feature from their N9 tablet to wake up the screen. Would have made the FPS being on the back less of an issue.

I curious to see how well that will work in the middle of a business meeting.I'm sure this is common knowledge but I'm getting in the habit of just saying OK Google, which wakes my phone up...then I press the home button immediately and that's how I wake my phone up. It's the easier and lazier way to wake it up without having to use the FPS on back or the power button on the side.
