    Can I buy a SIM card in New Zealand and put in my Google Pixel 2 while traveling?

    My husband and I both have the Pixel 2. (The US version as we are Americans.) We live in Spain currently and we use digimobil SIM cards. In fact, they are the same SIM cards we used in our previous phones. When we travel outside of Spain, sometimes we switch our cards to either Vodaphone or...

    Probably a dumb question (Google weather frog)

    When I woke up this morning, he was back! I was doing the exact same thing, a small downward swipe of the hourly temperature numbers to make him appear. Last night, that motion just kept refreshing the weather. But this morning as soon as I tapped the temperature on my home screen, there he was...

    Probably a dumb question (Google weather frog)

    Ok, I feel like I need to preface this by saying that I am new to Android. (Coming from iPhone 4s.) I could have sworn I just had to swipe down to see my Google weather frog. Or whatever he is called. But I installed 8.1 today and he is nowhere to be seen. This is super silly. But I kind of miss...

    8.1 OTA Received?

    My husband got his a few days ago. Mine was available this morning when I woke up.

    8.1 OTA Received?

    Not yet. I got the November patch on the day it was released, if I am remembering correctly. But still waiting for 8.1 to show up. (Pixel 2)

    Does you Home Mini answer to other people?

    Ugh! Last night it was activated by a Google commercial on TV. The female voice said, "Ok Google" and the next thing I know, my Mini is launching into the day's news.

    Does you Home Mini answer to other people?

    I set up my Google Home Mini and it's fine. But when my husband is asking his Pixel 2 something, my Mini will answer. Sometimes both his phone and my Mini will answer but not simultaneously so it's like hearing two people talking at you at once which is annoying. Is it just going to always...

    Bluetooth issues

    Re: I don't see HD audio apx in my Bluetooth device settings. But I will keep poking around. Thanks! Edit: Ok, I found the setting, but it's set to Use System Selection (Default). Which appears to be SBC. I'm going to go ahead and disable absolute volume and see if that helps at all. [Edit...

    Can't get phone to ring on incoming calls

    Thanks, N4Newbie. All of those were set like you suggested. After an hour of fiddling with any setting I could find, rebooting my phone, and my husband rebooting his, I can hear it ring when he calls. Oddly, the screenshot in the OP is still exactly what mine looks like. Weird. But as long as...

    Can't get phone to ring on incoming calls

    I have the same issue on my Pixel 2 (smaller one) running 8.0. I can call my husband's Pixel 2 and his phone rings, but I cannot receive calls. My phone doesn't vibrate, there's no message until after the phone call has been aborted. Then I get a message about a missed call.

    Bluetooth issues

    Update: I am able to get Google Play Music to play podcasts via my car's bluetooth. But still none of my songs.

    Bluetooth issues

    re: Thanks. I checked and Media Audio is enabled. Hopefully I'll be able to figure this out since I do like to listen to my music a lot in the car.

    Bluetooth issues

    re: I'm having a similar issue. I can play my transferred music on the Pixel 2 through the phone speakers using Google Play Music. But once I connect my phone to bluetooth (either my Bose speaker or my car), I hear nothing. The phone display tells me the song is still playing, but no sound from...

    What phone are you switching from to the Pixel 2?

    Thanks! I'm so excited. My iPhone has been so bad (glitchy and problems with battery life) for the last year or two, so I am more than ready for an upgrade!
