My battery life was never good from day 1. In fact, it lasts much less than any of the previous phones I've owned (Samsung, LG). After several days, I brought the phone back and exchanged it for another new one (because I can't simply exchange or buy a new battery, which drives me nuts), but...

I don't recall ever having more than one keypad on any of the other smartphones I've owned since 2011, but I do recall that all of them allowed me to backspace during the call. I can't begin to comprehend why Google thinks using two different keypads is necessary or desirable. If those codes...

Oh my goodness, it's really not that difficult. I'm not sure how my explanation could be made any better. I was very thorough. Nevertheless, here we go again (and no offence, but I'm really hoping I don't have to type/explain this all again after this post, as it is already written several...

Just to be very clear, yes, that is what happens, except (and this is the most important part, which I explained a few times now) the string, or anything written in that field, regardless of what it is, cannot be sent, because there is no way of sending it.

Kind of. Yes to your example, but nothing is "sent again," as nothing is able to be sent in the first place (see my original post). As well, the dialled number isn't there either. This is a screen capture of what the keypad looks like on speaker phone. Please note that this is speaker phone...

Yes, that is not the same keypad you get when you switch to speaker phone. Try it out and see what I mean.

I was in the middle of receiving technical help from my service provider on speaker phone, and the tech asked me to punch in a series of numbers while on the line. I did, but nothing happened as there was no way to send the numbers after they had been entered. He asked me to punch in some other...

We do realize that. So why has this never been an issue with all my previous phones (Samsung, LG, etc)? I'm experiencing the same volume drop issue with my Pixel 2 which I just bought.
