it worked! Advanced settings of streaming to 2 devices prevented my car from cutting out my bluetooth speaker. Thanks all!

Haven’t tried yet - am out of town until the weekend. I will report back on Saturday.

Thanks - will try that.

Hi, I frequently tailgate with my SUV with a portable Bluetooth speaker. My issue is that whenever someone opens a door to the SUV, the car’s stereo goes on and my Note automatically connects to my car’s stereo (it’s a Land Rover) and stops streaming to my bluetooth speaker. I haven’t been...

Are you using Outlook view Chrome or the Android app? I tried using the Android app and though it lacked some key features (such as deleting messages via the keyboard and advancing to the next message after deleting a message). However, I find that the web interface is great. The downside to...

To close the loop here, I received the Panda 2XL and used it for a couple of days and returned it. Reasons: - blue tint - it was noticeable for me and I never had this issue on any other phone. - my Bluetooth issues persisted in my Honda (I get random drops in my OG XL and also in 2XL, but...

I must be in the minority as the blue tint was a factor in me returning my panda xl. It wasn’t the only thing, but certainly contributed. Use case : phone is on my desk to my side - all I saw was blue. In all, the XL2 had too many issues for a $1k phone. For reference, the 2XL was an...

I had the iPhone 7 and google pixel xl and upgraded to the iPhone X and Pixel 2 XL. I returned the Pixel 2 XL and kept the iPhone X. The new Pixel offers nothing significant over the OG XL whereas th iPhone X is a game changer, most significant is the wireless charging (I like it better than I...

Just as title states, I'm thinking of upgrading to the new XL. I don't really use 'OK Google', so the squeeze function is not really valuable to me. I have noticed, especially since the upgrade to Oreo that the Pixel has gotten a bit slower (less responsive), so perhaps the speed bump will...

For the record, I never had any BT streaming issues (in car or BT speakers) until I updated to Oreo. Now I get cut-outs and BT drops virtually every time I try and stream music.

Slightly off topic - I am not supposed to get my new Pixel until December but I already received the trade-in envelope. If I don't send my Pixel back until December, am I at risk of not getting the quoted price?

What makes these phones so different/difficult to manufacture that Google couldn’t stockpile these for launch? The chipset isn’t new and there really isn’t any other groundbreaking technology in these phones. Perhaps they were just behind in their product cycle and didn’t want to lose out to...

Ordered Panda 64 unlocked today (Oct 13) and have Dec 8 delivery.

I've been using the Outlook app for my various email accounts for the past few months and I really like it. However, I just noticed today that I am really struggling to type emails. There is extraordinary lag in the keyboard (I am using the default keyboard) and after every letter I type, the...

Looks like Google has more inventory - all of the Pixels are available again in the store!
