    Pixel 2xl screen delay since Android Pie

    I have noticed the delay as well. It was much faster before the update. I actually really like the update, but this is a minor annoyance.

    GPS lock on Pixel/Pixel XL (particularly Waze)?

    I have a Pixel with a Spigen case and use Waze everyday to and from work. I've never had any issues with GPS locking on.

    Pixel Bluetooth issues

    I had the same issue in my car (2015 BMW 328) with the Nexus 5X and still have the same problem with the Pixel. Not sure why the phone can override the radio, but Google Maps (or Waze for that matter) can not. What I find even more annoying is if I'm listening to a Podcast on Google Play...

    No chance to customize New Moto X when upgrading through comcast.com/verizon-wireless

    It seems like the problems at Verizon have been worked out. I ordered the new X (32 GB / Leather Back) from my business account rep today. At noon he emailed me the receipt of the purchase and 1.5 hours later I had the PIN email from Motorola which worked perfectly on Moto's web site.

    So stale mobile has become...

    Re: So stale mobile has become..... As the proud owner of a Moto X I disagree that "Software is barely even being altered or evolving". IMHO the active notifications on the Moto X are a game changer that you can't fully appreciate until you have used it. At this point I can't see changing to a...

    How is the Verizon Moto X? (Especially in NY)

    I have had the Moto X on Verizon since launch day. Hands down the best smartphone I've ever owned. FYI - I have owned a Blackberry Curve, OG Droid, Galaxy Nexus, Droid Razr and the SIII. In my experience the Moto's I have owned have always gotten much better reception (both WiFi and Cell) than...

    Accessories for Moto X

    This is the SD card reader. Meenova.com, Welcome. I ordered one but haven't received it yet. Normally the 16 GB (on Verizon and couldn't wait!) is fine for me, but I video my son fencing and if it's a long tournament I run out of space. Seemed like a good compromise. I'll let you know how it...

    Apps won't update over wifi

    Not sure if you are trying at home or at work. I had this problem years ago and it turned out the firewall at my office was blocking the play store. I don't remember the specifics, but take a look and see if your router/firewall is causing the issue.

    Headphone output volume low?

    Just to update this thread, I purchased a pair of Phiaton PS 20 NC - in ear headphones for my trip last week and the difference was incredible. I was able to hear everything very clearly and didn't even need the volume turned up all the way. Not sure if it was the noise canceling feature or the...

    Headphone output volume low?

    I have had the same issue. I was about to go on Amazon for a new pair of headphones for an upcoming trip when I saw this thread. What kind of headphones are you guys using - in ear, on ear, noise canceling? I use a pair of Sony's that are really for the gym. The are "in-ear" but don't actually...

    Google Sign In error

    I was getting it yesterday also. I was a little paranoid that someone had hacked in to my account and changed the password - especially when I entered it and it told me it was wrong. Good to know it wasn't only me.

    ICS rumblings for Razr??

    They're showing info about the text message on CNET as well: Verizon confirms Android 4.0 for Droid Razr on the way | Crave - CNET Hopefully this means sooner rather than later.

    Razr or gnex?

    As I've said previously, I own both RAZR and GNEX. RAZR is far superior in battery life and much more importantly in signal strength. Both WiFi and Cellular radios on GNEX are awful. Unless you don't care about making calls or going on the web - get the RAZR. It's not even a close call. If you...

    Battery life for "normal" user

    I own and have used both GNex and RAZR and there is absolutely no comparison - the RAZR is the superior phone. The battery life is much better on the RAZR. Even more importantly the radios on the GNex are awful. Nice to have stock ICS, but not a whole lot of use if you can't connect to WiFi or...
