    printing from Pixel 2

    I use the HP print server plug-in with no problem ever at all. When it can't find the printer I will have to use the drop-down list. As you can see, I use multiple HP printers and sometimes I need to choose which one

    Have a Gear S3 Frontier connected to my Pixel 2xl since the beginning and I connect to my vehicles with no problem at all. My phone also connects to five different Bluetooth speakers that I use depending on where I am. I love that with Pie I can finally use the watch again to make and receive...

    Verizon update gear S3

    Installed this morning and my battery is still going strong. I love the new things added with 3.0.1. Everything works great except that I can't make or receive calls cause it is connected to a Pixel 2xl and its Bluetooth problem. But it does connect remotely and then I make and receive calls...

    Pixel 2 defaulting to speakerphone

    Mine answers with speakerphone after I had used the speaker to listen to a voice mail. It may be a couple hours later but it will answer through speaker and only go to earpiece by pressing speaker twice.

    pixel 2XL will not answer/place calls if S3 watch is connected

    Yeah, calls don't go to phone so need to untick phone in its Bluetooth settings to be able to use it.

    Anybody get their Free Google Home Mini Yet? (Update: Yes some are getting them now)

    I believe that is true for us that got the phone through Verizon. Received an email with a tracking number from Verizon stating that it will be in soon and that is that. No color choice since they are only sending out charcoal ones

    Anyone that bought the Pixel 2/2 XL from Verizon ...

    All Verizon phones are unlocked. My 2 xl is on Verizon and I went to Greece last week and threw in a sim from there and it worked great. Took another sim and put it in my BlackBerry PRIV and it worked fine in that phone also. Came back to US and popped the Verizon sims back in and they instantly...

    Go to a Verizon store? Post your thoughts here!

    I have a 2 xl pre-ordered and so I went to a Verizon store, I played with the 2 and the 2 xl, mostly the 2 xl and I for one loved it. It didn't feel cheap but light and the popcorned aluminum back felt exactly as I thought it would, like aluminum. It was very fast and I had all the apps open...

    Panda - Yes or No?

    I ordered the black but if the black was on the back and white on front like I had with my old BlackBerry Z10 I would have been all over that. That was the stormtrooper for me

    Gear S3 on Verizon

    The Gear S2 also but you can of course do it from the Gear manager on your phone or just dial *72 (area code) phone # of watch. That is the same code your option used also.

    Gear S3 on Verizon

    The watches have their own number which if you don't choose to use numbershare it will cost $20/mo with no contract and then you would have to use call forwarding if you want to leave your phone at home. Using numbershare will cost you $5/mo with a 2 year contract. Settings >Gear info>About...
