    Full Pixel Buds review Almost 1 year later.

    I am not totally surprised by those numbers. The buds have always had an uneven drain that I thought was attributed to the first bud that is pulled out of case and makes the primary link to the phone. In the case of a call (zoom or traditional) the buds go into "headset" mode and not...

    pixel 4 or the iphone 11

    Stupid question, but the new XR is unlocked correct and you have installed the Fi app while on wifi? I thought I remember hearing that the Fi app may be required to get things fully working. Back to the main topic: I give props to those Android fans that can go to/back to IOS. It seems like...

    Camera light artifacts

    Anyone else noticing any light reflection/refraction spots in night shots or lower light photos? Seeing some spots that look like they could be dust but the lens is clean. See just to let left of moon and there was barely any direct light that should cause a reflection like that.

    Pixel 2 Camera Lens Reflection problem

    That would also be my question. Do you have a case on it? Clear or solid? have you tried without the case to see if there is some refraction from the case or a sensor being blocked in some way?

    Google says this blue shift is normal

    You should probably clarify that this level of blue tint is unacceptable as all OLED's exhibit it a degree. Even the Note8 and iPhoneX have the tint, it is just at larger angles and not as dramatic.

    Google says this blue shift is normal

    The "smear" refers to the delay in pixels turning on and off when scrolling or going from a lighter color to darker. I see it in the Google feed when there are dark images. It's not always there so it seems to be dependent on the image colors. I also see it in my Reddit app when the dark theme...

    Google says this blue shift is normal

    Adding my experience to this. I am currently in my 3rd xl device. My first phone had serious blue shift and was blatantly apparent during initial boot up. It also had significant black smear. Thus RMA 1. The second one was slightly less blue, butt still had smear. I was ready to just accept...

    'Light bleed only on home screen'

    That almost looks like the launcher is applying some sort of gradiant or color mapping to the status bar or parts of the status bar incorrectly. Also, as said if another launcher fixes the issue then it is definitely a software issue and not hardware which is good.

    Using Outlook as Mail Client On New Pixel XL Or Try Stock/Gmail App

    To put it simply, if you rely on exchange email for work, then yes Nine is 110% worth the $10. It is by far the best Exchange email app I have found. I switched when it first came out and have never had a problem with it. The ability to secure the app with exchange policies vs the entire phone...

    Official feedback thread for new forum design (beta version)!

    Re: Official feedback thread for new forum design! In general I like the fonts and dark theme, but seems like a lot of wastes space. Ads eat up too much room on side of forum and spacing is too big.

    Pixel/Pixel XL --- Show us your photos!

    That was in Tahiti/Moorea. Specifically the Hilton Moorea for the majority of the shots.

    Pixel/Pixel XL --- Show us your photos!

    Here are a few from a recent trip. I love the look of a couple of the night shots.

    Pretty close to sending pixel back

    Your Fi issues sound like either the network quality when on wifi is poor and it can't make a solid connection for wifi calling (unlikely as you said it worked on your 5x) or something is seriously wrong with your Fi SIM or account provisioning. I am on Fi with an XL and have tried numerous...

    Pixel XL GPS Issue

    Drove for an hour this morning using navigation on google maps the whole way and no issues. I will test waze on my way home and see how that works to see if it is an issue there. Any chance you have a car mount with a magnet or anything near the phone that could throw the GPS off?
