    Question from a potential Essential customer

    Why must it be the mesh grille and not the cloth? Fixing to buy one for my little brother from Amazon seeing as how it's at $435 and was also wondering. If he puts it on Straight Talk will he still receive updates such as Android Oreo and Android P? Also, will he be receiving the updates for...

    Google to address Pixel 2 XL screen issues with several software changes and offer 2 year warranty

    Just contacted Google Support and they said they would replace my device. The person I spoke with referred to them as "black dead pixels" so that is covered by warranty.

    Google to address Pixel 2 XL screen issues with several software changes and offer 2 year warranty

    I think the Verizon trial period is 14 days or so. So yeah I should still be in it. Would they allow me to exchange the phone for something like this and have you experienced this on your 2 XL?

    Google to address Pixel 2 XL screen issues with several software changes and offer 2 year warranty

    So seeing as how my screen has that blackish blotchiness on the top portion of my display (makes the colors darker than the rest of my screen) does that mean I could return this one for another one whenever?

    Does anyone know of any apps that support Adaptive Icons on Android 8.0 Oreo

    Does anyone know of any apps that support Android 8.0 Oreo's Adaptive Icons? So far the only ones I've seen support it are Credit Karma and Shazam. Not even Google's own Play Newsstand supports this feature.

    Y'all have to enable the developer options to access the Adaptive Icons.

    Oreo Worst upgrade ever?

    I've also had the Google Play Music problem but didn't know if it was my car or the phone but seeing as how you have the same problem it might be the phone. It'll show the same song after receiving a call and also will replay the same song over and over again till I disconnect and connect again.

    Verizon Pixel Oreo update.

    Nevermind all my issues about not being able to change the shape. I enabled dev options and it worked!

    Verizon Pixel Oreo update.

    Sucks but it's good to hear I'm not the only one. I wonder why some still have it and others dont. And I don't think HD calling was all that important was it?

    Verizon Pixel Oreo update.

    That's weird. And you were enrolled in the beta program as well getting your update from Google?

    Verizon Pixel Oreo update.

    So it's still there for you even with the final build?

    Verizon Pixel Oreo update.

    Just talked to the Google support team (don't know how reliable they are lol) but they just told me that the "change icon shape" was only a part of the dev preview/beta and that the final build no longer has it. Do y'all know if this is true?
