    Daydream VR Promo from Verizon?

    I received mine yesterday, and my status is still "Mailing in progress", with the status detail showing "We are getting your reward ready for the mail." Never got a E-Mail confirmation saying it had officially shipped. Weird. Came via USPS.

    My Google Pixel XL's Untimely Death

    Chances are Google is being smart and has some a short supply of stock set aside for exchanges when issues like this arise.

    Daydream VR Promo from Verizon?

    Just checked my status through Verizon's rebate/promo website and it was updated. My Status now says "Valid" and my Status Detail was updated to "You're valid and going through final processing. Please allow up to 30 days to receive your rebate." So... Maybe before Thanksgiving? :D

    Daydream VR Promo from Verizon?

    I received a E-Mail from Verizon shortly after I got the tracking number for my Pixel when it shipped. Filled out the promo and submitted the required information the day I got my Pixel, on 10/20. As of today, my status is still "received" and they're working on my submission. Verizon told me...

    Thinking of exchanging this for LGv20

    I'm sorry, but I am failing to see what the purpose of this post is? Did you want us to convince you to stay with the Pixel over the V20, or another phone? Or give our opinions of your decision? Or is it just meant to be like a status update for Twitter or Facebook? I'm actually asking. Curious...

    Pixel - Signal dropping (Update: Google Knows)

    Re: Verizon Pixel XL - Dropping calls? I actually had this problem with my Note 7. But with my Pixel XL, I haven't had this issue.

    "Certified" cables and chargers

    Right on. When you get a chance, if you have that spreadsheet to post, that'd be awesome.

    Best Buy Pixel XL Experience

    Usually yes, unless you're "Upgrade Eligible." Otherwise, there is a upgrade fee.

    "Certified" cables and chargers

    I didn't see this one on the suggested list. Should it suffice?: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KC503R2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU5522218

    Verizon will NEVER have Pixel XL 128GB in corporate stores

    Was this from a "store manager" or the "general manager" of the store? From my experience thus far, unfortunately "store managers" usually are just normal reps who have more responsibilities. For the most accurate info, I'd speak with a "general manager." Those folks are usually more...

    Did Google just completely forget about raise to wake?

    Had that with my last real phone, the first Droid Turbo. I would get asked about waving my hand from time to time by random folks. Some people thought I was doing a Jedi mind trick.

    Did I make a mistake

    Ditto. I like knowing I can go a physical store to work out whatever problem I'm having with an electronic device should something ever go wrong. As far as Verizon's Pixel goes, you haven't gimped yourself in any way, OP. You should be good. As a former Note 7 owner, I think the Pixel XL is up...

    Shipping question

    Usually it's an "indirect" signature, unless otherwise specified. So, someone at the delivery address or a neighbor. You can leave a note, too, saying they can leave the package at your door.

    What a letdown (Stock Quantities)

    Re: What a letdown There's a big difference between running a grocery store and selling electronics: Food is a need. Electronics are not a "need." Electronics are a "want." Being that this was Google's first launch of the Pixel, and not expecting the Note 7 fiasco to occur, they didn't know...
