    Wireless Charging 5W with the Pixel 3

    Ok...so I figured out that the charger that I have was not using a plug that was compatible. Swapped it out and not the charger is working but says "Charging Slowly." I can live with that. But it seems like with car, it won't work. Flipped the phone around and everything. Doesn't work...

    Wireless Charging 5W with the Pixel 3

    So I have a bunch of 3rd party 5W wireless charging pads left over from when I had Samsung and they don't work with the Pixel 3. You put the phone on the pad and it recognizes the wireless charging but then disconnects. The battery bolt symbol keeps going on and off while it sits on the pad...

    Android Central, now Advertising Central.

    This will probably be my last post and visit to this site. I too get my information from other sites that have less advertising and clickbait. I remember the days when I started following discussions on Palm Central for information on my Palm Treo and it is a shame on what this has turned...

    Pixel 3 / 3 XL - Shipping Discussion

    Funny...woke up this morning to an email saying they are shipping my phone out and it will be here by Friday. When I purchased it from the Fi Store on October 9th, they told me Nov 1-2 would be my delivery date. That is a HUGE jump in shipping. Awesome!!

    What is your estimated delivery date for your new Pixel 3 / 3 XL?

    I remember when I ordered the first Pixel, that was when Project Fi first came out and I had put in the order through the Google Store. When I got the phone and then signed up for Project Fi plan, I wanted the device protection. Project Fi said that I couldn't have it because I purchased the...

    What is your estimated delivery date for your new Pixel 3 / 3 XL?

    I thought that was odd too. Everyone else is getting their phone this week who ordered on day 1 of availability. Why do Project Fi (Google) customers have to wait until November? I sent them a message asking that and they gave me the standard excuse of "many promotional offers for the phone...

    What is your estimated delivery date for your new Pixel 3 / 3 XL?

    Ordered 10/9 through Project Fi. Delivery date 11-1 or 11-2. WTF Google/Project Fi??

    Where did you order from (Google, VZ, BB)?

    Project Fi as an upgrade. Ordered it on the 9th...says the delivery day is Nov 1-2. So much for taking care of your loyal customers.

    Actual Ship Date?

    Ordered mine through Project Fi and upgraded my current Pixel. Ordered on October 9th and says it will be delivered November 1-2nd. Sounds like I got screwed!

    Pixel Bluetooth issues

    Ever since Oreo my bluetooth is been nothing but a headache. Won't find my car, external speaker or my watch. And when you do connect to it, it drops or cuts out with the music. A real pain is butt because you have to go in and manually find the device all the time. I have soft and hard...

    Repetitive Notifications??

    Since upgrading to Oreo, I am always getting repetitive notifications for the same alert. It is mostly with Twitter and motioning detection with my Nest camera but I get two notifications for the same alert. I thought it was just me but my wife who has the same phone is having the same issue...

    Would you get rid of S7 edge for a pixel xl?

    Had the S7E and returned if for the Pixel. The only thing I miss is Samsung Pay but everything with the Pixel beats it out. Well worth it.

    Voicemail Notifications

    I am currently on Project Fi and every time I get a voicemail, I get notification on Hangouts (which is my default messenger) and the voicemail app on the dialer. Anyway I can turn off my notification on the phone dialer so I just only get the VM notification from Hangouts?? Thanks!

    What are your current gripes with the Pixel / XL?

    For all the people concerned with the phone being water resistant, check out this water test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YojQneS6Yts The only thing that was affected was the speaker but it still worked after an hour.
