    Gmail icon doesn't indicate how many new

    Try a custom launcher (Apex, Nova etc) - most of them support unread count

    Email question.

    The Gmail app works the same way on the pixel, as it does on the S7. Personally, I use the Inbox app (instead of the Gmail app) - I find it to be a little better, but even between outlook and the Gmail app, I'd probably use the Gmail app (because my primary Email is gmail, and Google Now can...

    Verizon insurance has no Pixels in stock to replace my defective unit - yikes!

    That doesn't exactly address the issue - op still needs a phone to use for the 24 month duration

    Dbrand wrap and camera focusing.

    I had camera autofocus issues with Dbrand, and ended up removing it. I don't think it is a problem with Dbrand per se - but more with the fact that the sensors on the back may get partially blocked by (any) skin you put on it

    Warranty Question

    You can try squaretrade (if you purchased less than a month ago). Or, if you paid for it using your credit card, see if your credit card offers extended warranty

    Wrong caller ID showing up for Pixel on Verizon

    Just out of curiosity - can you check in the Verizon account to see what names are associated with the two SIMs? Trying to figure out if Verizon overrides the caller ID, based on the names they see in the account

    Which Android 7.0 Build should I sideload on Nexus 6?

    If you sideload the full OTA from the Google developers site, you can sideload the latest one (don't have to worry about the in-between versions)

    Nexus 6 cannot update to Nougat - Project Fi

    My phone for Nougat (not on Fi though) a few weeks ago - I didn't opt into beta. You may want to reach out to Google Support and see if they can give a useful response (besides the canned "it is rolling out in waves - hang in there" response)

    Nexus 6 cannot update to Nougat - Project Fi

    My guess is driver issues. In Device manager, what does the device show up as (when it is connected/detected) Read thru' the posts at Device not found in adb sideload or recovery… | Nexus 6 (see post# 4, #8)

    Nexus 6 cannot update to Nougat - Project Fi

    A little unclear, so asking for some additional clarification When your phone is powered on, and connected to your PC, you can run ADB DEVICES command and it sees your phone. Right? You indicated that you have USB debugging enabled Make sure you downloaded the full OTA file for your specific...

    I have an old Nexus 6 can it receive the Nougat update over wifi if the carrier cut off the phone?

    Yes. You can update. You don't really have to wait for carrier to push the update to you - you can go to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota and download the OTA file, and install using the instructions on that site

    Broken recovery mode!

    If it is working fine, let it be :)

    Broken recovery mode!

    My guess: Because you indirectly initiated the wipe when you elected to go back to Marshmallow. You may have shut the phone down, but the phone still knows that it has to wipe.
