No problems here either with bluetooth, location services or connectivity in general. Works like a champ and handles what I throw at it while meeting my expectations for performance and battery life.
Those places will have the exact same problem as the perception here which is the only people who are complaining are posting about the issues. Even if there were a thousand people that all had issues there would still be five or six million people with no issues. So that 1000 people can't represent everyone.If you want to research it a little further go on reddit or some of the other forums to see issues that users on those forums are experiencing as well. The majority on here are not encountering any issues but keep in mind there are other forums and other opinions out there as well.
I'm not doubting what you're saying but the poster still has a 50/50 chance on either getting a phone that is problem free or a phone that has issues. These issues must be big enough or must be a concern enough to google if they are addressing these issues or have already addressed some of them. That should tell you something or that the numbers may be higher then some people want to believe

Keep reading post about it dropping Blue tooth.
Dropping calls, freezing up.
MY note 5 is getting old.
Don't know that I want a S8 phone with the curved screen.
The Note 8 is a long way off. Might not be able to wait that long.
But I don't want to buy a phone and have problems.
With Samsung I can go to Best Buy and see the Samsung reps and get my problem taken care of.
The things and features of this phone when or if they work for me are fine. Other issues, not so much, but for me personally I would not call this the greatest phone I've owned or the greatest phone experience. I can't see my self hanging on to this for a long time with all of the other choices being offered. I will be waiting for the Nokia 8 if that happens. So far although not confirmed the specs look great and for me it's going to be hard to beat
I've had no problems in my Toyota with Moto, Samsung, nor LG phones.I have BT issues in our Prius, but that's a Toyota issue. They seem to be stuck in 2001 with their ICE technology.
I had the s7e and went to the pixel as well. Do not miss the curved screen at all!I was scared from some of the stuff online, but finally made the leap and got a pixel (not xl), I ussually own alot of phones.. 3 in the past year (moto z force droid, galaxy s7 and iphone 7) this is by far the best of the bunch.
was going to wait for galaxy s8 but dont want a curved screen
What have you tweaked to get better battery life?I had been researching for a few months. I had an iPhone 6s Plus that just did not fit my needs, but was stuck with it until February. I have had the Pixel XL a couple of weeks now with no issues other than Bluetooth turning off which is software, so maybe their build might be a little better now??? I will say I have had Bluetooth turn off with the March security update, but it was only the one time so far.
I was reluctant to buy the Pixel with the newer phones starting to launch, but these phones will always be months behind updates which is one of my only issues with Android. After getting my hands on it I am super happy with my choice. I could careless what else comes out I absolutely love it and my days of upgrading phones every year is over.
I am still tweaking to get the best battery life and still keep what I want active. Yesterday I had 17 hrs the off charger with moderate usage and still had 56% battery, and it was showing it had 1 day 4 hours remaining. I am trying one more setting to see if it drops the battery, but I am where I want to be with battery. The default settings did use more battery than I preferred while it was sleeping, but with the changes it is as good if not better battery than the iPhone I had. I showed it to my wife and her eyes got big and said holy crap.
