There is a long known truth in engineering: You can have quality, speed, and cheap but only 2 of them - you choose.

It's been most of the last week but these apps don't work. You get the transition screen with the blown up app icon and then it eventually crashes to the desktop. Then if you slide up to get to your open apps, they are there but as blank frames with no content previewed and if you select one...

It seems to primarily happen in the morning every day. I wake, turn off sleep tracking and related functions and then it starts locking up or slowing down (like when typing) or freezes either with an image on the screen or a blank. I hard reboot and it happens again. This is usually 3-4 times...

Wasn't expecting you to resolve anything. Was raising the issue so that if other people had it, they could echo it here and people who were not certain about installing would have more information upon which to base a decision. I'm not complaining. I get Betas can be flaky - that's why I...

Installed yesterday at about 4PM and it rebooted twice before bed and twice this morning (in 40 minutes). Phone was just lying there in all instances - not open, on, running apps. I would just look down and see the reboot screen or when I turn it on, have the Beta banner pop-up with the...

I did a factory reset 3 timess today and none one worked. I didn't just use the "reset factory default settings" in the OS. I also followed this advice from this Android Central Article (https://www.androidcentral.com/how-factory-reset-android-phone): How to factory reset via recovery mode on...

Been running 11B1 since it came out and it's gone really well until today. Today I woke to a message about how my phone would no longer support contactless payments because I was running a "rooted or unsupported OS". A bit surprised that an official Beta would be released to the public that...

It broke my phone. It no longer consistently charges no matter what charger I use (wireless or any for 6 Google USBC) chargers. Sometimes they work. Sometimes they don't. When I reboot, it usually shows 50% battery, right on the nose. Here's a link to my post on it with screen shots...

I don't know what happened but either the Adaptive Battery update or the June Update has created major issues in my phone. I charge via Google's USBC chargers (My wife and I have had 6 Pixel phones so we have a lot of these chargers) and it randomly will stop charging at 50% (or at least after 4...

Okay, I can buy that argument but 13 paragraphs?

The answer is obviously no but there was a more important question: should you bother writing an article asking the question about whether to buy a 3.5 year old phone in 2019 when it is DECEMBER 21? And the answer is obviously not. Love the site but what was the point of doing this post? Your...

I've had a serious issue since the update - it will no longer connect to my Logitech Bluetooth audio receiver that I used to connect my phone to a Bose radio at work. Day before? Fine. Day after? Nothing. I've tried forgetting the pairing and re-pairing and though it does re-pair, it still...

The both the lock screen and top of my home screen show an alarm icon. When I open the quick settings, it shows the alarm is set for 9:45 on Thursday on the left side of the row below the Quick Settings where you can edit Quick Settings or go into full Settings (clicking that just takes me back...

I've been getting a lot of "Play Services has crashed" type messages that I'm hoping would be resolved with the update (as well as give me Google Assistant)

I have a N6P and have it set to update all apps at all time automatically (wifi or cellular) but it hasn't updated to the latest version of the Google (the one that resizes the apps and has landscape settings). When I go to the Play Store on my PC, it shows that a newer version is available but...
