    Battery Life Thread

    For grins, Accubattery tells me the phone's battery can do the impossible.

    Why isn't the search bar causing burn -in or IR?

    I dunno. It just seems counter-intuitive to claim that a black image is causing something called "burn-in." Or even image retention, for that matter. Unless those pixels are not shutting off but are doing something else to produce black.

    Why isn't the search bar causing burn -in or IR?

    Good point. I haven't seen anyone bring forth any different evidence of burn in--just the navbar. It's also a little odd that the culprit navbar style they show in their videos is black with white nav buttons. How can a black bar cause burn-in if that area is supposed to be defined by shutting...

    Last question then I'm tapped: Do you have Events selected under "Personal" in Google App > Settings > Search/Personal?

    add calendar to home screen

    Does long pressing on the widget not open up an edit option?

    "The Pixel 2 XL, despite one big flaw, is still my favorite phone ever"

    No, no, I know. I was just hoping somebody would tell me where the haptic feedback hangs out on the 2 XL cuz I haven't stumbled onto it yet. Ooops. Got it. Keyboard preferences. 0 to 100ms. Super vibratey!

    Pixel 2 / 2 XL - Let's see your setup on your Home Screen(s)!

    I had to switch to Nova because the Pixel launcher wouldn't play fair with the immersive mode app I installed. Territorial little p****, that Pixel launcher. I do miss the at-a-glance widget, tho.

    Haptic feedback from what, btw? The only thing I get is a little thrum from the fingerprint sensor when the phone opens.

    Oh, good! Now burn-in might be a problem?

    Yeah, but it's helped me add a new crop of names to my Ignore List. :D

    You can stick to the S8+ forum, too, while you're at it.

    "The Pixel 2 XL, despite one big flaw, is still my favorite phone ever"

    I agree with him. Maybe I'll change my mind if I begin to see real evidence of burn-in or graininess on my phone, but for now, I'm good. And I'm confident Google will eventually get the display goofiness under control. Mind you, the BS about misnaming September OTAs as October updates doesn't...

    I want my Immersive Mode (but looks like I won't get it)

    When this flap up about burn-in/image retention came up, my first thought was to grab an app that would let me hide the navbar and status bar since it was navbar burn in that got Alex Dobie's dander up in the first place. FYI, those apps are not the best way to deal with this unless you at least...

    Basic supply issues. When you don't make the parts yourself, you've got to get em somewhere. If Samsung floats you a delivery date that'll push your release date back too far, you find somebody else who will deliver the goods on time.
