Update: Just installed Android April update. Haven't done any speed test yet but, using WiFi Overview 360, dBm on LG G4 -29, dBm on Pixel C from same location ( both 5G) -42. G4 seeing 7 networks on 2.4, Pixel C seeing 2. Need to do further tests but doesn't look like Google have improved WiFi...

I absolutely love the Quick Circle Case as it turns a good phone into a great phone. Wouldn't say it's the best for protection though. It has very good protection at the corners, which is where it's otherwise easy to get damage, but cover could fall open in a drop so it's not the go-to option...

I bought the IVSO - only £7.95 from Amazon UK. I expected it to be poor quality & just a temporary purchase until I found something better but, as it happens, I can find no fault with it & it will live permanently on my C Not sure if links are allowed but I'll try: Google Pixel C Case - IVSO...

"Flawless" is perhaps an overly-generous term. I'm sure what you really mean is "Perfectly adequate for MY needs". Have you compared to other device(s) at same time/location? The very fact that 2.4 gHz gives you half the speed of 5 gHz is hard evidence of an issue (if you ever intend to use it...

Could be worth your while. Wifi Overview 360 is a free download & is an excellent app. Seems to me that the Pixel C doesn't like noise (but that's only my unqualified guess). There is only one other 5 gHz network near me and that was on the same channel as my Netgear router defaults to (44...

Same router for me and not dissimilar experience (less % drop-off though my ISP speeds are much lower to start with). Have you tried 2.4 just out of curiosity? Drop-off on 2.4 for me was abysmal. Pixel C on 5 gHz is fine for me as I bought it to use mainly lounging around the house - not so...

Only had mine for a short while but would definitely say nothing appears 'stretched'. Sure there are some apps (Instagram, for example) that only work in portrait but I don't find that a great deal as, out of all the apps that work in either orientation, some are better in landscape & some are...

I have only had my Pixel C for a couple of weeks but I thought I'd chime in with my experiences. I have a dual band router (Netgear R7000) but I'd just signed into the 2.4 gHz band without thinking. Was experiencing huge drops in download speed just going into next room. Just tried it on 5 gHz...

1st thing to check is whether your screen is scrupulously clean around the proximity sensor and or you don't have a screen protector going manky. If all ok, try pressing around the edge of the screen to check whether the bonding has failed. If so, you either have to live with it or get phone...

Yup, sort of what I was saying but you said it better (you posted while I was answering the doorbell)

Just to add, when I say I'm a 'light' user, what I mean is I don't do gaming & don't watch lengthy video - watch lots of short clips from news sites etc. but no films. I do, though, browse the web for extended periods of time & use the camera quite a lot - my phone doesn't even get warm doing...

Pardon? Your comment exceeds my intellect :D You might as well be speaking a foreign language to me but I do now, at least, realise that your original post said ".....installed apps are not allowed to write to the sd card....). Please forgive my ignorance - at least, perhaps, my post might...

Love your post - well written & asking a very important question that could help us all - I salute you! Shame that, fairly predictably, answers quickly veered off topic. I share your curiosity - how were forum members that had this problem using their phones? Light/moderate usage? Heavy...

Another forum user (Stet) advised me that you can still move apps to SD within MM without using adoptable storage, despite all the 'expert' opinion saying otherwise. I stubbornly refused to accept it at 1st, until he posted an easy to follow (even for me) guide in this thread...
