    What chargers can be safely used with a One Plus 6T?

    I've had to have a phone repaired before due to charging issues. I was using a pixel 2 fast charger on a phone that I believe wasn't specced for fast charging. I assumed using a fast charging brick on a phone not specced for fast charging perhaps could of been the issue? Since then I have been...

    Gaming?

    If your not keen on cases and prefer plastic backs, how about a skin? Add a bit of texture to the back without adding thickness

    Moto X4 Android One Vs Pixel 2

    I also went from Pixel 2 to Moto X4. I think the only noticeable advantages to pixel 2 off the top of my head is processor speed and camera. Processor speed is important, but after about 2 days, you stop thinking about it. I'm sure the X4 can play 99% of popular games if that is a concern too...

    Best cases for Google Pixel 2

    They might want to update their product photos, apparently there is a special edition pixel 2 with a white front hehe. Thought it might be OG pixel but saw the front facing speakers

    did a free mini really convince you to buy?

    It didn't convince me to buy but it helped soften the blow when I got buyers remorse after buying my pixel 2. The pixel 2 was $1079 for me here in Australia, though came in a bundle with the mini and headphones. It makes me feel less crazy knowing I got over $100 of freebies :D (mini is $79 here...

    Best cases for Google Pixel 2

    I ordered a Spigem thin fit for another phone and didn't like it. It looked good but I didn't like that it was hard plastic and the lip on the front was sharp and sign in to my hands. You mention rubberised feel....does this mean the case has changed? I like rubber cases for grip. Does it still...

    'Light bleed only on home screen'

    Yup, I agree, I want to use a dark theme on my phone but won't because of this issue. It just looks crap, totally takes you out of the beautiful material design of android I'm not sure if every pixel 2 has the issue, for example watch the droid life 20 tips and tricks video on youtube. He is...

    'Light bleed only on home screen'

    The fade on the lock screen is in the top half not the bottom half. If it's deliberate I don't like it....to my eyes it doesn't look like an interesting design, just looks like my screen is faded :) The homescreen issue is a thin bar of light at the top of the screen The easiest way to find...

    Xerces is the name, white shoes is just a nickname because the cat has white feet

    Flossy Carter Review Pixel 2 XL

    Check the video description he commented on that miss. His style is he does his videos in one take and doesn't do his research....if he edited videos, did his research, etc, he wouldn't be unique any more and would be closer to all the other over scripted reviewers. I'm fine with mistakes it...

    'Light bleed only on home screen'

    Sorry the only reason I call it that is because that is what it looks like therefore the easiest way to describe what it looks like. I know it isn't light bleed though. Maybe we can all agree on an alternative descriptor ;)

    'Light bleed only on home screen'

    Or use a non black wallpaper for a week or two til the update arrives. To make sure that happens contact Google to let them know your having the issue too to make sure they know it's not just a one off :)

    'Light bleed only on home screen'

    Ok, so update. I tried resetting my phone and this didn't fix the issue. I called google customer service and the guy on the phone said he is not aware of this type of issue on the pixel 2, but he said he is aware of a few cases where it has happened on other devices. He believes it is a...
