    Charger Cord

    Hi - just bought a 7 Pro, coming from Pixel 2XL. I will be replacing the cord that came with the 7 Pro because I need something longer. Any recommendations on cords that are spec compatible with the Warp charger? Sorry if I missed this topic in another thread. TIA!

    A better flashlight shortcut is needed

    It could be that a gesture activated launch of the flashlight will be possible in the future. The squeeze functionality provides an opportunity to launch the flashlight, as demonstrated on the HTC U 11. I used the squeeze extensively for this purpose when I owned the HTC - it was convenient...

    Re: Delayed order I recall reading a different post stating that Google awarded $25 Play Store credit for shipping problems.

    I am as happy as can be with T-Mobile instead of Verizon.

    13 year T-Mobile customer, made switch from Verizon. I have spent much if the last 13 years basking in the glory that is good customer service and a hassle free experience. :-)

    Loyalty card app that presents a scanable bar code ?

    Android Pay will accept loyalty and club cards and generate a bar code. I mostly use my Costco Card bar code, but also have bar code for AMC and Regal cinema chains.

    >> Pixel 2/2 XL -positive comments thread <<

    XL2 arrived while I was at work, have been using it for about 2 hours...it's a nice phone. Call quality is great, UI and software are great...much easier to hold and operate than my Moto Nexus 6. I am happy with the purchase. :-)

    What phone are you switching from to the Pixel 2?

    HTC U11....The 11 was not as good as my HTC 10 (which I am using now). ...The squeeze function was nice, although I always had the fragility of the phone in the back of my mind which resulted in a mediocre user experience. looking forward to working with a Pixel 2 XL.

    How does 'squeeze your pixel2' to launch the assistant actually work?

    I have a U11, soon to have a Pixel 2 XL. The squeeze function on the U11 works well - it took me a few days to make it a habit. On the U11, the feature is customizable to launch compatible apps/functions. I had it set for Google assistant on a short squeeze and flashlight on a long squeeze.

    Which one makes the design shine more: black or silver?

    🤡 I'll let it stand. Was having a few beers earlier when I posted - I deserve it for not proof reading the autocorrect..... Besides, chicken is good ;-)

    Which one makes the design shine more: black or silver?

    I have a blue one and have never received more questions about a phone until this one. I never thought of a phone as a chicken magnet before.....thanks HTC! :-)

    Problems getting U11 Contacts and Favorites in Android Auto

    I use Android Auto via a U11 in a VW as well - I have not tried using the native VW software for contact syncing. I never experienced problems syncing my contacts using Google contacts. Perhaps exporting your HTC contacts to Google contacts will solve the problem. Also, be sure to check the...

    Charging the Phone - Int. Travel

    I am going to Italy in about a week - other than a plug adapter, does anyone know if the U.S. version if the HTC U 11 can be plugged straight into the wall - is it rated to charge at 220V? Thanks in advance.
