My battery life has gotten ugly. Overnight, note the screen usage time of a whopping 5 minutes! No apps used, only system stuff.

Finally got my replacement today. They didn't ship until they received old phone, despite me telling them to go ahead and charge it. Oh well, phone running good. Colors are a bit muted, but so far so good.

Replacement was to have shipped Sunday. I've no tracking to check but I imagine I'll see it in the next day or so. Just dropped the doa unit off at FedEx.

Google was right on it. I've just got to send them the EIN and my mailing address. Left the Pixel 2 at my office thinking I'd have time to deal with it today. Ha!

I'll contact Google in the morning. Just a bit irritated, but these things happen.

Went through the 'Fix a pixel or nexus that won't turn on' steps. No joy. The only sign of life is if I plug it into my PC. It detects that it's plugged into a Qualcomm gizmo, but that's it. No screen activity. Press and hold for 30 seconds, no joy. Plugged into the new charger, my old...

Looks like when messing with settings I accidentally turned the brightness slider down. Didn't realize with Adaptive on that brightness was still adjustable. All good now.

As of yesterday, my Pixel screen has gone too dim with Adaptive Brightness turned on. Anybody else run into this?

This one is driving me nuts. The first few days I had my pixel Thanksgiving timeframe...text came in while driving it did not read it to me so I said something like 'read text message from X'. It responded 'I found this message from X' and read it out loud which I thought was pretty cool. Now...

Upgraded from a Droid MAXX - so I'm thrilled with the Pixel. Calendar widget, Battery Widget Reborn, and giving the setting sun/battery charge wallpaper a try.

Same here, but haven't tried anything to fix it. Hoping Lollipop might fix things.

Installed ota this afternoon. No complaints at this time.

Battery Widget Reborn runs on all my droid devices. The beta is free, and the pro version is a reasonable 2 bucks. Some screen caps.

Just add another app icon or widget and drag it off the existing pages, a new one will be created.
