    C302CA battery replacement

    Hi all I've had my chromebook for roughly three years without any major issues. The battery was at about 30% life six months ago but now isn't even detectable according to crosh. Are there any reliable third-party or official recommended replacements? I see a bunch on Amazon alone but I'm not...

    Pixel 2 XL B&W availability

    Is there any difference between ordering through Verizon or Google Store itself? Different warranty or such if it's directly through them or a 3rd party? Haven't bought an actual new phone in years

    Pixel 2 XL B&W availability

    Hey Derek, must've missed that but what I most likely will be doing Haven't heard from anyone at BB directly but if they don't answer today (Tuesday) or can't give me a straight answer as to when it's expected I'll be doing the same thing That location and Verizon Corp store are literally...

    Pixel 2 XL B&W availability

    Just learning that now Mike, but good to know A friend used to work at the same BB location and didn't mention any of this back then. Had no idea they had issues like this, or just didn't think of it as big a deal if it weren't something I needed right away

    Long-term use question

    That would be AWESOME if you could buy it whenever and receive 3 years from that date, but yea, only be 2 1/2 or wherever it's at now. Still pretty good compared to other lifecycles and quicker updates too

    Buying new phone on udp

    My monthly bill is currently $85 with unlimited data, text & 450 minutes Would love to keep, unless there was a better option that would lower it. Project Fi is interesting for only being billed for what I use, but still has a ways to go

    Buying new phone on udp

    What I thought, but there are more options now and I would attempt to cut my bill by having a data limit Funny thing is Google has the Pixel at $849 or $35.38 a month, Verizon $849.99 or @22.91 a month, Best buy $849.99 or $18.74 a month. All are 24mo plans Best Buy has an instant credit but...

    Buying new phone on udp

    Hi everyone, I have a grandfathered UDP with 450 minutes & unlimited texting. Bought my last few phones outright but want to upgrade to the Pixel 2 XL Been looking at a few sites that sell it for around $300 - $400 but also Best Buy as they have the cheapest monthly device payments If I do...

    Long-term use question

    Wow that is some long term LG experience. Crazy issues but stuck with them What optimization does the V30 have? Surprised it doesn't have front-facing speakers, but also that as a whole it's taken this long for most phones to adopt them. Do like the wireless charging option I loved the G3's...

    Long-term use question

    Google will support their own phones with OS updates for 3 years. I was lucky to get Lollipop with how old the G3 was at the time

    Long-term use question

    Hey all, I'm in the market for a newish phone after my 3rd G3 suffered the screen dimming & flicker issue I know it's already 6-months old but continually buying the G3 because I enjoyed it so much, and the removable battery, I don't care as much about that. Google should still support it for...

    Headphone volume

    Evening all, downloaded the latest OS update to 62.0.3202.97 and now the volume with headphones is incredibly low. Used to be able to adjust the volume enough where I wouldn't hear other noises in whatever room I'm in, but that's no longer possible. Not sure if this is one of those things where...
