    Let's have your Pixel 3 (or 4) wishlist

    I'd like to see everything mentioned above but want to add three more: better Bluetooth better WiFi connectivity better LTE connection I haven't had such a poor experience with these three on the three Notes I've had (going all the way back to the Note 2), the iPhone 7+ or iPhone X I tested...

    Pixel 3 XL

    I think more RAM is essential. I don't know about any of you, but my Pixel 2xl now opens apps very slowly. Almost all of them have to reload, and I don't keep that many open in the background. It's also starting to lag. But more than just these hardware issues, I'd like Google to improve their...

    Pixel 3 and 3XL if the Leak is real

    I can only hope the renders of the 3XL are false. The notch looks hideous and there seems to be no point to trying to grab a little extra screen real estate at the top corners of the phone if you're going to have a sizable chin at the bottom. This set up does nothing to improve the user...

    slow unlock

    Mine is slow to unlock as well. it skips a beat before unlocking. It also has become unreliable. Sometimes I have to try twice before it unlocks. I've added each finger twice in an effort to improve its accuracy, but it hasn't made a difference.

    pixel 2 xl really warm

    I'm having a similar problem. it gets hot when charging, and it has always charged very slowly. I notice it on some apps. When streaming content but also when reading content such as Google news. It does not burn my hand to the touch, but it is uncomfortable to hold. And is anyone else having an...

    Scrolling/Zooming on Android Apps

    Ok. Thanks. Glad to know that my situation is not unique. And that Google is working on it.

    Scrolling/Zooming on Android Apps

    When using Android apps on my Pixelbook, there seems to be less functionality than when using apps through Chrome. I'm unable to scroll with the track pad but have to use the touchscreen. Also, I'm unable to zoom in on the apps using the track pad gesture. Is this just a baked in difference...

    So this wireless charging "thing"...

    Although not a deal breaker per se, I have a wireless charger at my office and when I had a note 8 I would just put it in the charging cradle when I sat at my desk then pick it up when I had to leave my office. My phone always had about 70%. If I went out after work I didn't have to worry about...

    rapid charge not charging faster?

    I'm not very happy with how long it takes to charge my 2xl. Fast charging that takes over 1.5 hours is only fast compared to charging an iPhone. When I use the charger for my 6p my Pixel charges much more quickly. But, I'm not that concerned about battery longevity since I'll get the Pixel 3...

    Pixel 2 XL - Coming From The Note 8

    I have the black one. I've had no Bluetooth issues at all, even with UConnect on my Dodge Durango. I actually think the Pixel Bluetooth sound is also better in my car than my Note. I know others are having Bluetooth trouble, but from my experience I think Google nailed it.

    Pixel 2 XL - Coming From The Note 8

    I'm currently using a Note 8 and Pixel 2XL. I've had the Note for several months and the Pixel for 2 weeks. I love the Note but am really struggling with whether to keep the Pixel and ditch the Note or vice versa. For me, there are quite a few advantages to the Pixel. The first is that it...

    Which is preferable: Google/unlocked Pixel 2 or Verizon

    Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. I have the Verizon variant but am thinking about returning it and buying the 2 XL straight from Google. Doesn't seem to matter much, though. Thanks again.

    Which is preferable: Google/unlocked Pixel 2 or Verizon

    My apologies if this post exists somewhere else and had already been covered there or should be somewhere else. I'm a Verizon customer and am wondering if there is any advantage to buying a Verizon Pixel 2xl as oppressed to an unlocked Pixel from Google? Thanks.

    Note 8 and apt-x Bluetooth codec

    Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give them a try. I'm on Verizon so the Snapdragon soc. I, too, use Google music.
