I have not tried that one. Looking at the pictures it looks pretty nice but I don't see anything much different than others. Does iOttie work a little better for folio/wallet cases? My experience is that the clamps tend to not grip the sides very well because one side is grabbing the non...

I have a Pixel 3XL. I've tried a few regular dash mounts but they don't grab the wallet style case very well because it grabs differently on one side than the other. I never see advertised the dash mounts showing a wallet style.

I thought the setting change was working but I am still getting 5-10 spam calls a day. yes. The carrier should be filtering them as it seems it would be trivial for them to see the pattern of calling. Next question: the phone rings - I don't recognize the number and see the option to screen...

Okay. I made the change. One of the two settings, Caller ID & spam or Filter spam calls was set to off. Can't remember which now, but having set them both to ON it does seem to be somewhat effective. In the last 48 hours since doing that I've gotten much less spam call, although still...

I get 5-10 telemarketer calls a day. I've tried using Hiya and Truecaller and a few other apps, and they never work to stop hearing the incoming ringtone. - those tries of the apps were on my previous phone, Note4, but I don't think that should make a difference. For about 10 friends I've...

Oh..... I guess that explains why some are more expensive than others. thx.

I lost the little USB C to 1/8" adapter to use with earbuds. So I bought one and it doesn't work. There are some really cheap ones on amz that get bad reviews saying they don't work so I spent a few bucks more and bought maybe one level better, but it doesn't work either. Not only does it not...

I'm assuming the strength of charging is dependent on how close the charging coil within the phone is to the charging coil behind the wall of the plastic holder, and that it is a square function - twice the distance is a drop of strength of four times, three times the distance is drop of...

does it make any sense to buy into this type of charging if I use a wallet style case?

In the Photos settings Cellular Data Back Up > Photos turned ON it does backup automatically without opening the Photos app. But if it is turned OFF it does not back up without opening the Photos app. If I have the Photos app open and go to the camera app and take a picture it does end up...

When I take a photo on Pixel 3XL, if I go to my desktop pc and open photos.google.com the picture is not there until I open the Photos app on the phone. Then after I open the Photos app it starts to upload the photos from the phone to the cloud and then when it has been uploaded I can refresh...

I have a Pixel 3. Wife has iphone 8. Sometimes either she or I leave the phone in the house and then we are wondering/worrying where it is. iphones have a Find My Phone and Android has that too. But they don't do it cross platform. I can't use the native app on my Android to find her...

I ordered from the google store, unlocked, on Sunday Oct 14, with a delivery date stated for Oct 24-25. It showed up on the 18th way before expected. Very Nice. but caught me without a case. Interestingly I am able to squeeze it into my Note4 wallet style case (it's really close to being the...

Re: I just purchased a new Pixel 2 XL then price drop! This is not exactly related to your question/issue but.... I am thinking about going for the Pixel 2 XL. I am still using a Note4 so I am wayyy overdue for a new phone. So I go to store.google.com and see the price has indeed gone down by...

Seems like one of the major things that cause people to want/need a new phone is battery life - when the battery stops charging to full capacity or drains quickly. What is the point of buying a used phone? Seems the 33% you might save will potentially be negated by the chance that the used...
