Does such a thing even exist? (without the need for an adapter and WITH a microphone for handling phone calls?)

I agree completely. I just wish every Android reviewer of this phone didn't smack it in the face in the first sentence every single time whereas iPhone reviewers don't always start out bashing the bezels on the iPhone.

Why does every iPhone ever made get a free pass on bezels and the pixel 2 is getting raked over the coals. I am currently having a vastly superior smartphone experience on this pixel 2 than I ever had on my iPhone 6s or iPhone 7.

Thanks for the reply B, but that one doesn't work. There are several in the Play Store that come close but I really just want the one finger slide down gesture like Nova.

Does anyone know of a notification shade pull down app that uses a down swiping finger gesture? I want to keep the pixel launcher on my pixel 2 or I would just use Nova Launcher.

Battery drains noticeably faster. 13% overnight (8 hours) after battery swap with freshly charged Samsung battery? No apps running. Same during the day, just drains more quickly. Also, the two features I was excited about re: lollipop are not present: Double tap to wake, and Always...

Not keyboard specific. Stock Samsung, SwiftKey 3, and SwiftKey Flow Beta, including newest version. When I press microphone mostly it just shows the white microphone icon that precedes the loading of the red "active" microphone that actually works. Why intermittent functionality? Why mostly...

I would like to see the full screen lined notepad page. Is this possible or am I limited to the grid lined page that I still have to maximize option I selected? Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

Found something that works! Egrips from Flexible Innovations. www.egrips.com Rubber gel like super grippy stickers that you just stick on back of phone (removes easily if you don't like). ONLY thing I have found that gives this phone some traction when I hold it. Clear stickers. I...

I ordered one of these. Looks promising. If this doesn't work after scouring the Internet I give up, at which point something will no doubt fall into my lap :-) I have almost convinced myself to stick with the almost commando Armor Shield. Thanks for posting it! Sent from my SCH-I605 using...

Why is it impossible to find a case for this phone that is not slippery? I probably have a stricter definition of grippy than most. Wish I could find a rubber (not TPU) case even if it sacrificed durability. Any ideas? Tried fly grip but too hard to reach entire screen. Currently using Armor...
