The battery will not drain any faster after the update. If you're leaving 5G/LTE, Bluetooth, or GPS on you will see a slightly higher discharge from your battery. If you have been using any battery monitoring app you could easily see that. I feel like the phone has been optimized further since...

Are you talking about the camera? If it's at the top of the screen and it's a black circle, then that is the cutout for the front facing camera. I cannot tell you what the red check mark is unless you send us a photo.

One way to slay that dragon is to disable the Pixel Stand app under Setting-Apps. Also, you should be able to go to settings - connected devices - Pixel Stand, and tap on it...you should see an option for screen off while charging. I am at work and cannot verify. But I do remember setting up...

The OFF button is the USB C cable. Just disconnect it from the base of stand. You don't have to unplug it from the wall. But that's just some advice.

The Zagg tempered glass screen protectors are available. But they popped up in Australia. I saw it posted on Reddit. Sit tight.

Love the new Pixel Stand. Wow. My only small disappointment was not being able to charge my Sony XM4 (12 hr) wireless ear buds with the Gen 2 Pixel Stand. I tried flipping the stand on its backside to see if I could get the wireless case for the ear buds to charge. Of course it didn't work. The...

No issues with my aftermarket Bluetooth adapter installed in my truck in 2018. No issues with my Sony XM4 ear buds while working out at Gold's Gym during peak hours either. Verizon service has slowed down over the years. But I do think it depends on where you live too.

So I slapped the screen protector on in order to be fair. I can say I've had no fingerprint issues getting the phone to accept my scans with the protector on. The protector went on with zero bubbles. To be fair, the quality seems better clarity wise where the fingerprint hole is located. I think...

Just received it in the mail and it looks just like the one I ordered off Amazon with the circle on it for the fingerprint reader. These companies are all using the same screen protector! I will be returning it.

If it has a circle for the fingerprint reader then that's a no-go for me and I will return it. Maybe they beat Zagg to the punch with a glass screen protector that's worth the price. Since they make products for Apple and Samsung, I don't think I have seen a lot of bad reviews for those specific...

I will. I ordered one and it will be here on Thursday. Hope the price is worth it.

Did you transfer your data over from another phone? I have had zero deep sleep issues after doing a factory reset. Transferring data from my 4XL was probably the culprit. The phone deep sleeps with the factory installed apps just fine. I do believe that if you are doing things in the...

Screen on time is mostly determined by how bright you like your screen. The screen default is like 50%. Too bright for me and will eat battery. I've trained my phone to use 35% screen brightness at home.
