What are your current gripes with the Pixel / XL?

cloth speaker grill...be safe out there when you clean that ear speaker. T

Thanks. I remember now how to get there. You have to hold down the settings cog until it starts spinning, and then it will show up where you showed. Thanks!

The problem with the system tuner option is it puts the percentage inside of the battery icon, which is hard for me to see, I'm sure I'm not alone in this. I just wish they would do it like everyone else and place the percentage clearly, next to the battery icon.

It is tiny.....

I've always been agitated about these two-tone backs of phones. I think all the Pixel models would look better if they chose one color and stuck with it.

Call your local best buy every few mornings. Took two tries to get mine.

He wants a 128 GB model though and I thought BB only had 32 GB models?

Went to Chat support through settings to ask about Ambient Display. Google Chat rep didn't even know anything about the Pixel. When he asked about what version of android I was running and I said Nougat 7.1, he said I was using a developer preview and that I needed to leave information through Feedback. He didn't know what the Pixel was until he looked it up. Guess Reps aren't quite ready yet.

Seems like Google has a few things to learn if they want to compete with Apple.

In a iPhone I want a 7+ 256GB

Not sure about iOS 10 though?

REALLY, that is pathetic

Stay on target

Cover me Porkins!

On a related note: I am curious about alternate methods of popping up PIN or pattern unlock.

Really wishing I could buy soon. But I really need to make sure you guys vet the phone very well as I keep phones for years...unlike most of you. ;-) Watching the "bad" and the Good thread.

Can you live with that iOS 10?? Read the review over on iMore about iOS 10 makes me want to cry Because I like the phone.

Alternate unlock methods are available. I use a pin as the 2nd step after the fingerprint. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer.

I'm not really liking the finger scanner on the back either, but atleast it wakes and unlocks the phone when the screen is off. I would much rather have the home button like the sammy's and iPhone. The bezel is certainly big enough.

The battery percent unlock is kind of pathetic. The numbers are tiny and it seems like a really dated way of displaying the battery percent.

No way to "kill all active apps"? Seems like a feature I would use on my Note often. Now you have to kill them one by one. Apple?

The keyboard features are kind of locked down. Certain features only work with certain apps. Example: Gifs only work in the Google messenger app? Lame. Why no Hangouts support?

I like the weather widget, but let me move it or remove it if I want. Again, Apple?

I'm sure I'll find more little things I will miss about the Note

Finger print scanner is on the wrong side.

Finger print scanner is on the wrong side.

My wife says the same thing but I like it where it is. Different strokes I guess.

This may help!..........

6s is my backup device and it's running iOS 10. I'm not having any issues and pretty well enjoy it. I cruise iMore all the time and other than a few upgrade hiccups some have it's seemingly pretty smooth. Don't see a lot of downer talk about it. Much better than the previous os and most others on those forums seem to think the same. I'm not that much of an iPhone fan, got a 6s thru a turn of events, but like it a lot But, not as much as my Android by a long shot!

Month view calendar widget. Not sure why Google's first flagship phone would have less access to Google stuff. The chat assistant told me to download a third party app. I said my note7, s7e and lgg4 all had it, why doesn't Google have this on Google's own device. Honestly why would a calendar app not have it in any sense. I have the 2x3 app but not the 5x5. The chat guy said the developers are going to include that in future updates and that he was going to forward my info.

Don't know if it's an XL thing or a Gmail App thing, but I hate, hate, hate that the LED does not activate when I get an email. If Gmail does use the LED notification and I might just have it set up wrong, I'm begging someone to set me in the right direction.
