    What's the way to go with a USB A charger?

    Currently, I use the stock A-C cable that came with the Pixel, paired with a charging brick from the Samsung Galaxy S5 (however, this is to my knowledge a QuickCharge 2.0 brick and not a stock one -- either way, it is of the higher speed). Here's the question: what type of charging brick should...

    How do I notify Google to let them know they messed up if the U11+ was supposed to be the Pixel XL 2

    if you approach the two phones exactly the same way (as brand new phones with no reviews), then the Pixel 2XL is better... let's see how the U11+ comes out from the turnstile of reviews we're about to see. not doubting it, but I think we should wait before jumping to a conclusion like this.

    unlocked Google pixel question

    I got an unlocked one from the Google website. I use AT&T, and I don't seem to have access to standard features such as these. however, hopefully someone else can comment on this as well.

    Cricket Wireless and Pixel

    if you already have a Pixel, the timing of updates won't be altered by switching carriers.

    Add 4th Navigation button?

    sadly you do not. however I'm sure there's an app that gives you this customizability. I don't know it, but I'm sure it exists lol

    Does Pixel XL have a native file manager

    the best file explorer in my experience is Solid Explorer. It's bloat free (unlike ES) and has a trial period, after that it's $2 but the price is worth it. I'd say it's worth it to try the trial if you don't like the built in one. I had the same issue coming from an LG phone and Solid has made...

    What Launcher are YOU using?

    I don't have my Pixel (yet!) but I personally use Action Launcher. I used Nova for a while, but since I use way less apps now, AL makes the most sense for me. one page, with a swipe over QuickPage for my less used apps (settings, Slack, Playstore, etc) I used to use a lot of widgets and swipe...

    Is the X Compact still a solid choice?

    Currently looking at phones to replace my LG V10. My main issues with it are size and battery life. I knew what I was getting into when I bought a phablet, but it's become a nuisance with how large it is in my pocket/wherever else I choose to put it. And battery life at this point is probably 3...

    Wrong battery percentage?

    yeah dont take those extremes of resetting yet. the phone is not made for a 6000mah battery so naturally it's confused by it. I have a ZeroLemon battery for mine (9000mah), I just use it until the battery is down to ~30%, then just take it out and put it back it. that makes the phone think you...

    Music App

    I LOVE Phonograph. It almost completely lacks sound options, but it's aesthetically beautiful and, as far as I can tell, doesn't use much battery. I'm not really into sound customizing (I listen to a lot of music but don't care much for tweaking sound like that), so the app is perfect for me...

    V10 Cases - Where to find Decent Ones?

    I like the Obliq case I have. I take it off maybe once or twice a week and it isn't stretched at all. Looks nice too, and is just thick enough to be a nice feel in the hands. 9/10 would recommend

    Weird Low Battery Issue

    While I agree with you, you can't expect the technology to be perfect. If the phones dying with 15% battery left, that's a 15% error -- not bad to be honest. I've never had a phone that died at exactly 0% battery after owning it for a few months.

    Weird Low Battery Issue

    This just happens if you replace your battery. Happens occasionally for me too. The phone isn't positive what it's actual charge is because it's almost as if you restarted it and it magically got 100% charge. I have the same issue

    General feelings on the 10?

    Long story short, there's a possibility I could buy the 10. What are the communities thoughts on the phone? Any widespread issues? Suggestions for who to buy from? Currently using an AT&T LGV10
