I just poked around in there with a toothpick. Will have to try compressed air (after buying some!). Seems like the cotton swab w/ rubbing alcohol thing could get stuck in there...

Yes. I have multiple Google USB-C cables for my wife's Pixel 3 and my Pixelbook and none of them work on my own Pixel 3 but they work fine on everything else.

My Pixel 3 will no longer charge using the Google-issued USB-C cable, but it *oftentimes* (but not always) will charge using a 3rd party USB-C cable. It will also charge wirelessly on a Pixel Stand. The corded Google Buds that came with the phone also no longer work. I've cleaned out the USB-C...

I've been researching the PB2s, Jabra Elite 75t's and the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 for weeks and even owned the PB2's very briefly but returned them due to the cut-out issue. Which was terrible btw. Pretty much unusable for my needs (instead of enjoying my podcasts or music I was playing the...

Someone please report back if this fixed the audio cut-outs that lots of us had. I returned mine but may re-buy if they work now.

Yeah, I'm looking at those now too, and also the Jabra Elite 75t's. I'm still thinking I'll wait though and see if they get this issue sorted out. They were pretty great earbuds otherwise...

Tried it with phone in front pocket and back pocket, both sides. Also carrying in hand. No better.

So I got my PB2s yesterday and have already initiated a return. Pretty disappointing as I liked a LOT about them: the sound (pleasantly surprised there), the vent (was concerned they'd let in too much outside noise but they didn't), the gestures (pretty great), the Google Assistant...

Wow this board is dead. Surprising for such a new product...

With the vents on the PB2s, I've read that they leak sound more than other non-vented earbuds. Is it a lot? Like if I were riding a relatively quiet morning bus (whenever THAT will happen again) and am rocking out, will people be able to hear my music a lot more than other earbuds?

Title says it all. Curious to know what Pixel 3 owners are thinking for their next phone (what and when). Personally I'm looking at using my Pixel 3 at least another year, so perhaps getting the Pixel 6? Or perhaps the Pixel 5a.

I see the 4a is supposed to go for $349. Even with that price point I'm not sure if it's worth upgrading from the Pixel 3. Anymore I'm a new phone every 3-4 years kinda guy though...

My battery life on my P3 seems a little better, maybe. Hard to tell. I charge it once a day and rarely if ever drop below 50% charge. Which was true with 9 and also now with 10.

I don't use the alarm on the Stand but I have observed the blinking behavior. It blinked regularly for the first 15-sec or so like you say but is still blinking occasionally, maybe every 10-min or so. Seems to be charging ok though so no biggie really, just weird.
