    SMS While Driving

    Cognitive distraction, those who suffer this while using hands free also suffer with just talking to a passenger. Some are better than others. My wife, when hands free, will lose focus of the road over the conversation. I will lose focus of the conversation over the road. Not everyone is...

    SMS While Driving

    What studies? With AA, my phone stays in my pocket. I don't touch it or look at it. I can put it in the back seat. My eyes don't have to leave the road. How is this any different than talking to a passenger. I have to take my eyes off the road to change my climate control. How is that...

    No more than a conversation with a passenger. Heck, it's probably more dangerous now to adjust your climate control then it is to use AA

    Hence the hands free way. You don't even have to take your phone out of your pocket.

    drain battery to 0 first time?

    Lithium ion are protected to prevent a full discharge. Your phone may show zero, but it's got some charge left. With the physical circuit protection plus the software side of Oreo, you can fully charge and discharge all you want ant it won't make any difference.

    Pixel 2 XL auto-rotate

    The only time I've experienced a rotation issue was when i was using Waze. But, hitting the power button to turn the screen off and back on snapped it back into shape.

    Naked check-in

    I would love to run this one naked but the camera pops out too far and I fear I'm going to break that

    Alarm turns itself off...

    You are correct, my wife does not have a watch. I'll send the reports out to both and see if anything comes of it. I've actually been looking into the LG watch style and Sport. The price for a good used one is fairly cheap right now and I tend to abuse my watches so I don't want a brand new one

    Alarm turns itself off...

    I tried that and it still rung the alarm to the watch. This didn't happen until Oreo came out. I had similar issues with my original pixel XL. Maybe I need to submit a bug report

    Alarm turns itself off...

    Well it looks like it was the smartwatch. Anyone know how to block just the alarm function from?

    Google Pixel 2 XL is not really IP67 water resistant

    Phones in showers are a necessity

    Smart Lock?

    I've been using it for a few years and never had an issue. I've been using it on my pixel 2 XL from day one and it's been Rock Solid.

    Alarm turns itself off...

    It is connected to a Moto 360. Maybe I will unpair it tonight and see what happens. I haven't contacted Google support yet. I'll go through a few other things including another factory reset without automatic restoring anything. I really don't have any weird apps that would potentially cause...
