    Tech 21 Case Pixel XL

    I have the same case on mine, looks and feels great. Only issue I have with it is the buttons are way too hard to push. Posted via the Android Central App

    Did Google just completely forget about raise to wake?

    Left Moto for this exact reason. Bought a X2 weeks after launch and months later they stopped updates for it. Damn thing rebooted every time I launched the camera. Moto is never an option for me now. Posted via the Android Central App

    How close to stock is the V20 launcher?

    I've just read on this forum on a few threads that it's close to stock. I would expect that would mean it's close to pure android. Not a lot of extra fluff and you interact with it close to the same way you would on straight Android. Posted via the Android Central App

    Did Google just completely forget about raise to wake?

    This is my main complaint with this phone. I'll see how this goes this week in my meetings at work but I don't know if this is going to work for me. Looked at my notifications all the time by just pressing the home button while in meetings. Not liking not having the notification numbers on the...

    PIXEL XL vs NEXUS 6P

    I only used the 6P for a few days and it was rooted and running a custom ROM so I can't compare it running stock Android but the 6P is great and I was going to hold onto it for a while but came across a Pixel 128 and jumped on it. I agree that it's not a huge step up from the 6P. I do like it...

    Things I like about the Pixel XL coming from S7 Edge

    Reception hasn't been an issue. Having come from the N4, to N7, to S7E and back to N7 the only major issue I'm having is there's no way to wake and look at the lock screen without pressing the power button. No double knock to wake or anything like that. I got real used to doing that with the...

    How close to stock is the V20 launcher?

    For all you that already have the V20, how close to stock is the launcher? Any features of it outside of the 2nd screen that you've found useful that's not available on stock?

    Verizon Pixel XL - Where's the Bloatware!

    Pittsburgh. There's a mall that should have been closed years ago. Only real stores in it are ****'s, JC Penny, GameStop and Verizon. Walked in, asked and they had a few in stock in all colors. The only bonus of this skeleton of 80's greatness is times like this.

    Did you try rebooting the phone? I was having the same issue at first and rebooted and it's been fine since.

    Verizon Pixel XL - Where's the Bloatware!

    I just picked up a black Pixel XL 128G from a Verizon store, walk in not preorder. It's a replacement for my N7. The only Verizon app pre-installed on it is messenger+. Pleasantly surprised there were no other apps installed. While messenger+ was ok to use on the loaner S7 edge I had between...

    Those who are frustrated with Samsung should let Samsung know about it

    I did email them and let them know my frustration and received an email back that said "We're not happy to lose a loyal customer like you." The rest of the email basically said "oh well, good luck with whatever you chose." My main complaint was how I have to choose a phone now that I will be...

    Verizon Note Recall Thread 2.0

    How did you manage that with Amazon? I'm paying return shipping for my Replacement Spen and they won't take back the case I bought in August.

    What Replacement Phone Have You Decided On?

    I'm considering either the V20 or Pixel xl. Switching to a loaned iPhone tomorrow so I have a phone but will want off of that ASAP. Really thinking of just getting the Pixel and keeping it until the V20 come out and switch to that and then decide which one I prefer. Why not take advantage of...
