Does charging overnight impact battery life? Something I thought I heard recently, so I have been avoiding my normal nightly charge and doing at desk next day instead.

Sexy wife and camera come to mind. Then again, that also answers question "why do you need medical insurance and funeral coverage?" too.

Well the good news is that #4 is the winner. Large improvement in speakers between the Phone #2 (Pixel 2) and it's replacement. VERY happy I stuck with it and ensured I got a good phone. While I do miss the XL screen size, do not miss the phone size nor the "minor" screen issues in the XL...

Told by support rep that they have a sales on Monday where you get the mini for free. Just like the pre-order promo, code will be sent 4 weeks after phone.

Why would you want to go do a silly thing like that? Let the pro's do the durability tests.

Have had 3 phones and debating on 4th one. [Phone #1 ] Pixel 2 XL. Returned due to very bad blue tint. [Phone #2 ] Pixel 2. Decided to try small size, but afterwards also ordered the XL again to compare/decide. Bad audio recording video...high pitch, sounding like mike is underwater...

Ok...wow! That is pretty bad. And normal camera does not exhibit any issues? What about another 3rd party camera app? I don't use the lightroom mobile app (tried for a while, but staying with my perpetual lightroom license). But for you...I reinstalled the lightroom app and....fast photos...

Interesting...turned adaptive off, but still behaving as if on...dimming screen heavily. Thus i started this thread. Checked a few times on display settings and it was always off...and screen dim. BUT I restarted and it showed as on. Turned off again and screen is what I expected...good...

I got the 2 XL, but returned it due to screen issues. Instead I got the normal 2. And as normal, indecisive so reordered the 2 Xl to see if screen is better and to compare side by side. Well... 2 XL is noticeable dimmer than the smaller 2. Is this due to the latest patch, which 2 XL has...

I have the verizion grandfathered unlimited plan. New Pixel 2 DO perform a subscription check for tethering. What this means is that unless you have a tethering plan, you will not be able to activate the mobile hotspot on the phone. I came from the Nexus 6P, getting it replaced by Google for...

Hmm... guess my natural bad luck. :'( Well...darn! Keep it for a little while to try out, then will decide to keep or back to 2 XL. Thanks for the response.

OK, I admit, I am a bit of a perfectionist and always questioning if I should or shouldn't have done something. Should I keep 2 XL even with display issues? Should I get regular Pixel 2, even though it is small and as easy to read as larger one (coming from 6p and OG Pixel XL)? Always...

Re: anybody here uses the Note5 completely naked? If anyone does, PLEASE no selfies!!!

Make sure NFC is turned on in your settings... Go to Setup... Under "Wireless and network" section, select [...More Settings] Under "File/Data Transfer" section, turn on [NFC] (you might consider turning on S Beam also while here)

With the jb update I find I can no longer attach pictures and send over cell. Instead it queues the mail up till I connect to wifi. How to I turn this off so it sends always?
