    returned a used pixel 2 XL from ebay due to bluetooth issues. Is this common?

    Hi everyone. I wanted to thank those who responded to my thread. I had the opportunity to test a different pixel 2 phone in my car yesterday ( not a XL but a standard one ) and that phone did not have the Bluetooth issues that i had experienced with my phone. I guess I got a lemon. At this...

    returned a used pixel 2 XL from ebay due to bluetooth issues. Is this common?

    Hi , yeah it also happened in safe mode. I had other phones before including a nexus 6p and a iphone 6s plus that all played nice in my car with none of these Bluetooth issues. Sadly if it is the firmware in my car i am probably sol unless i get an aftermarket head unit that has its own built...

    returned a used pixel 2 XL from ebay due to bluetooth issues. Is this common?

    Hey guys, so i searched this thread and I found a few topics on Bluetooth issues with the pixel 2. I see some people reporting all sort of issues and of course some with none.

    former 2014 moto x owner has a few questions about ambient display

    hey guys, I had a first gen 2013 Motorola Moto x then the followup 2014 Moto x.

    iPhone to Nexus 5X

    just to add my 2c about how i feel google does it better than apple. I came from a 2014 moto x that with all the google services enabled would give me great traffic alerts for my home to work commute. I have since picked up a iphone 6s+ and a few days ago got stuck in a major traffic jam. The...

    Any peep from motorola on monthly security updates?

    fatboy and others. thanks for the comments. I my opinion moto needs to offer these security updates and actually distribute them on a regular basis. Now granted the media has blown the android exploits out of proportion and they do love giving them fancy names too but with real exploit code in...
