I originally bought from the Google Store, but remembered I had a $25 reward coupon at Best Buy, so ordered from them instead. But, like you, I'm just on a waitlist since they were already sold out by the time I ordered.

Has anyone had issues receiving their promotions for phones they purchased during black Friday (either through Fi or Google store)? I purchased during the promo period, activated the day I got my phone in the mail, and it's been active ever since. Yet, they're saying I "didn't meet the terms of...

My motion sense worked really great for the first 2 months and I used it a ton when playing music. However, the last few weeks it hasn't worked at all. Wondering if there Feb update nerfed it a bit. Hoping it goes back to the way it used to work.

I assume it's when you're scroll past a black section on your screen and the black section appears to "smear". I noticed it a bit when I first got the phone, but I've either gotten used to it or it's been fixed via updates (if that's possible).

Also....gotta distinguish somehow from all the long rectangles with small rectangles on the back.

Yes! Thank you!

Maybe I'm missing something, but does anyone have the option to change how their photos are grouped in the Google photos app on the P4 anymore? On my 3xl (and my gf's 3xl) we had photos sorted by the month. But now on my 4xl, they only sort by day, which I definitely don't like as much.

I do like Orange, but I have also been collecting the non-conventional Pixel colors since they've been available. I've had the panda 2xl, the pink 3xl and now the orange 4xl. I've been lucky that pink and orange are colors I actually like, but whatever funky color the P5 comes in, I'll buy that...

Sounds like Samsung might be a better fit for you as you seem to only care about aesthetics. Which is totally fine, but there's more to phones and computers than just the way they look. So to say Samsung is "out engineering" Google is a bit funny. I agree Google can do better when it comes to...

I think the designs of the phones are pretty cool and I love the grey color. However, this release feels like a bit of a tipping point. The fact that the cheapest phone is $1000 is crazy to me. It feels like Samsung just packed as much hardware as they could into the phone because they have no...

Dang, I must have missed the docs that stated the only change made was in the camera.

Agreed. Moving from the 3XL to the 4XL was a very noticeable improvement for me also. Having the 4XL and then having to go back to he 3XL or a month before getting another 4XL solidified that experience.

If you didn't get a 4 how do you know the gains from the 3-4 are negligible?

I used to have that "on when nearby" setting turned on as well, but noticed that it seemed to interpret a lot of things being near it as me being near it. Because of this, it would never turn off, so I turned the setting off.
