Long post. Ok let me start out by saying I usually switch platforms a lot because I like trying the latest and greatest from both sides. I’ve been through so many phones in the last 5 years that friends will actually notice if my blue IMessage bubble goes away and say “new phone again?”. I...

Just checked out the 6T in store and it’s pretty nice. I’m currently waiting on a Pixel 3 XL. I got my wife a 3 XL and she is the type that hates switching phones and learning new things and she loves it. But, the speed and OS feel great on the 6T. I’ll compare the 2 once I get my XL but man...

Do you guys recall if there were any deals last year for Black Friday? I got my wife a P3 XL but I held off on one. Wondering if I should wait?!?

Exact problem I had. So disapponted because I LOVED the camera. I had to return it tonight because I was on day 13 of my return period. On another note I have a Spigen thin case and 2 screen protectors (never used) if anyone wants to make an offer.

I really, really, really hope there are some bluetooth fixes in this. I was going to return my Pixel 2 today but didn't make it to the store in time. The Pixel 2 stops playing audio when going to another track (although the phone still continues to play with no audio) and I have to keep hitting...

Any update on this? My Pixel 2 connects via Bluetooth to the car but it's wonky. I hit play on the phone, nothing, then I hit play on the car and it starts playing. Then Pandora plays music, then a slight pause for the ad, and it stops. I hit play again on the car and it starts to play but I can...

Basically like the iPhone X.

It'll get better after a few days. I realized I check Facebook and Gmail in my own versus prompted by a notification. As a result I turned off background use of both and my battery has been a lot better

I spoke too soon. I noticed a drop in battery when taking pictures... Not video. Is this normal? Is it using a lot of battery for processing photos in just 7 minutes of use??

I has a pretty good outcome yesterday. Didn't get a screenshot though. I ended the day with about 60-70% left. Although I was at work and had the phone sitting on my desk most of the day. I'm sure because it wasn't moving that doze went into effect. Plus I also stopped background processes for...

I've had the Pixel 2 for a couple of days. Ran the phone off the charger the whole day. I used an hour of GPS, streamed music for 30 minutes, took some pictures, basic stuff online etc. So tonight I disabled background use on some apps like Facebook. We'll see what happens tomorrow. I do second...

Didn't want to look at the camera. She thought she was in trouble lol.

My daughter, her older cousin and the dog. So the first time I used the iPhone X portrait I thought "looks ok" because I could see some visual errors with the faux portrait and studio lighting shots. First time I used it in my Pixel, got it yesterday, I thought "Holy Sh!t! That looks...

The issue could have been that it doesn't know that location sells alcohol. Have you ever gotten those messages from Google maps asking if you were at a certain location? then it asks you "Is this place good for a quick bite?" etc. I believe one of the questions is "Do they sell liquor?". So...

In the past has Google offered refurbished units? Still contemplating if I want to switch from my S8+. Given all the returns I'm sure they will have refurbs. I can't remember if they have offered them in the past. If they have has the discount been good enough to wait?
