    Switching from eSIM to SIM a pain on Android 10

    So I have noticed something ridiculously annoying from jumping from Android 9 to 10. I have a Pixel 2 XL, and I have a local SIM card and I keep a Fi account for international travel. Before, switching was a pinch - just switching carriers in the menu. Now, if I want to switch back from Fi to...

    This is the first time EVER for me that the "Check for update" works, detects, downloads and updates on OTA release day.

    Contact Pics missing in Notification

    This drives me NUTS. I get them on the Gmail app on iOS but not on my Pixel? Absolutely ridiculous.

    Pie Gestures and Nova Launcher....

    I had the problem too. I got around it by activating the swipe up from the dock to open the app drawer, not assigning a nova gesture - just one for the dock. That way I can access recent apps by swiping up from the home button and the app drawer by swiping up from the dock. The arrow is kind of...

    Screen issues are seriously over hyped.

    Say what you will, but this happened to my phone four days after use. Thankfully, Google is sending me a new one and I still believe in the 2 XL, but I have no way of knowing if the newer phone will have better QA or won't develop the same problem.

    now every tech blogger is claiming screen burn

    Mine already is showing burn. It's annoying that it's there and that I know it's there. I love my phone otherwise, and I really hope that if it proves to be a real problem, Google steps up somehow.
