I haven't yet. I want to compare the 2 camera apps on the phone first and see what the differences are before I start playing with that. I should try that anyways though. Thanks!

My previous phone was a Pixel 2XL and I always liked how the camera app worked compared to the one on my S20 FE. I recently installed the GCAM for S20 FE and now I have it on my new phone.

I had a Pixel 2XL, before that I had an S7. I really liked the Pixel 2 XL, so when it was time for a new phone I went with the Pixel 5. That felt like a step down from the 2 XL. The call audio sucked, and the camera wouldn't focus properly for close up pictures. The screen looked so dull also...

So far so good with the S20 FE. The camera does what I want, the rest seems solid. I've always used Nova launcher, so all of my phones are set and look the same. I really liked my Pixel 2 XL, and was expecting the 5 to be a step up. Kind of disappointed.

I had the Pixel 5 for 5 days. My previous phone was a Pixel 2 xl. The issue I had with the 5 was the camera. As hobbies I work on mechanical watches, and tye flies for fly fishing. I take a lot of close up pictures and the 5 just wouldn't focus close up like the 2 did. I messed with it for days...

I recently had to deal with Google support for a warranty issue. It's easy to get the the first line of help, and they'll enter the ticket for you, but after that it's a run around. You got to keep after them.

I haven't had any issues with mine after Pie. Mainly just getting used to things being slightly different. My battery life is good, maybe better.

It seems I've been seeing a few posts recently about people taking their phones swimming, in the shower, etc. My first thought is, why? Why would a person risk damaging their expensive phone by needlessly exposing it to water. Are they expecting an important phone call that can't wait? When I...

Tapatalk in dark mode for me. If the forum isn't in Tapatalk I don't follow it.

I've had my 2 XL for 3 weeks now. I tried the stock launcher, and it lasted 2 hours because of the same thing you are talking about. Not one of Googles better ideas. I switched to Nova Prime like I've had with my last 2 phones. I also didn't like that I couldn't remove the Google search bar wit...

Haha, I just got an email from BB telling me my phone is ready for pickup! I think they're tracking system isn't very high tech if they couldn't tell me where my order was.

I know. [emoji853]

I just looked on Google. They want $1000 for the same phone. I’m trying to buy from Best Buy because they had it on sale. I’m not buying last years phone with the 835 chipset and a mediocre display for $1000, even if it has a great camera and the “pure Android experience”. I’m not a brand...

Good info. I’m keeping the order open for now while I check with Verizon and see if they have them in stock. I had ordered mine on March 19th. The local Best Buy store was closed today, so It’s possible they have it and the guy manning the 888# just gave me the stock answer?

I was suppose to pick up my Pixel 2 XL 128 go today, but there is an order delay. I spoke with a Best Buy representative and they don’t know when they will be able to fulfill the order. Google isn’t giving them any idea of when to expect any. So, I may or may not be getting a Pixel 2 XL now. I’m...
