Thanks for the reply. I'm currently using a Seidio Surface case with the belt clip, but I may get this case instead.

I've got 2GB of cached data. It all depends on the apps you use. Each app will cache different amounts. Overall cache is a good thing. It prevents your phone from having to re download things, and speeds up the overall experience. As long as you're not filling your phone's storage I would leave...

Exactly. You really can't rely on MMS to send videos. I've found most carriers compress them so much it becomes useless. Hopefully once they implement RCS it will solve that problem.

It's not that the USB port on the phone isn't capable of doing what you want it to do. Your car's stereo just doesn't support it. Apple uses proprietary protocols to operate with car stereos, and Android phones don't support those protocols.

Most car radios use the iPod protocol over the USB port. Android doesn't support this, so you will need to rely on BT or AUX.

I have noticed this before. I think the messages app doesn't support flash. In fact, it takes much worse photos than the camera app. Now, I just use the camera app.

Car radios get constant firmware updates to fix issues. Especially Toyota. I am a tech for Toyota, and EVERY car has at least one firmware update for the radio.

I haven't had any problem with my phone automatically connecting with any of my Bluetooth devices, but in my Corolla the music will cut out for less than a second every once in a while. I just attributed it to the head unit because I don't have any problem with other devices. Also, I am a Toyota...

I sent feedback to Google for an option to enable this feature. I think it would be nice to have too.

I have been using the Tronsmart car charger. It has a 5V/3A USB Type C port and a 5V/2.4A USB A port. I've had it for a while, and it works great. I've had it since I bought the Nexus 5X, and I've been using it with my Pixel for a month...

I'm using a Tronsmart USB C charger I bought from Amazon. It is c to c, so I get the full 5V 3Amp charging speed. It also has a USB A port on it for another device charging simultaneously. I can't remember what I paid for it, but it's currently listed for about $14...

The new Pixel has USB 3.1 whereas the 6P had 2.0 using the type c port with USB 2.0. I think the charging speed from either a 3.1 or 2.0 cable will be the same. To verify you could install the app Ampere and check if there is any difference using the old cable versus the one that came in the...

Same here. I have the Seidio Surface case on my Pixel with the holster and it's great.

I have the Seidio Surface case with kickstand. I also have the holster. I have used Seidio for the last 4 phones, and they are great. It's a two later case btw. It's got a TPU layer on the inside and a hard outer shell.

How does it feel? Is it hard plastic or more of a soft silicone? Also, does it protect the top and bottom of the phone?
