    December Update is out

    Not about the Pixel 3 updates but at least someone is questioning what's going on. https://www.androidauthority.com/buy-a-pixel-if-you-want-timely-updates-oh-wait-1068303/

    December Update is out

    I keep checking Android Authority for new information, I would think they would have picked up on this problem and ran a story about it.

    Assistant keeps popping on randomly

    Yup, my son and I were leaving the house last night when his Google assistant chimed in with some completely unrelated information in the middle of our conversation about where we were going.

    After time spent with some very friendly people at Google Fi support and Factory resets with and without backups Google is going to replace the phone under warranty.

    What is this in my Notifications pulldown: 10(QPIA.1910005.007)

    Should I Factory reset from backup or don't use phone backup?

    After a Factory reset this morning NOT using backup to restore there were 10 Google apps on my phone. I did a reboot and the phone booted into a black screen.

    What is this in my Notifications pulldown: 10(QPIA.1910005.007)

    After I did a Factory reset without using a backup this appears when I pull down the Notification bar, it's under the Device connected to Google FI VPN 10(QPIA.1910005.007) swiping, tapping or a long press does nothing. I have no idea what it is and I can’t delete it.

    Should I Factory reset from backup or don't use phone backup?

    I did a Factory reset yesterday hoping to fix the issues I'm having with my phone since the upgrade from Android 9 to 10. I used the Factory reset from backup option but now I'm thinking all that did was reintroduce what ever phone system problems I had onto a clean install. If I select...

    How do I stop an app that's been installing for hours?

    I did a factory reset this morning. Took the option of using a previous backup to restore the phone if my phone continues to experience all these problems I'll do another factory reset and not use a backup to restore from a backup.

    Gesture Navigation and Non Responsive Apps on Home Screen

    Same here with my apps.....I had ZERO problems with my Pixel phone on Android 9 from the 1st boot on Android 10 and I had problems and getting anyone in Google to listen is like smacking my head with a brick.

    Gesture Navigation and Non Responsive Apps on Home Screen

    YUP, this started a couple of days ago. Apps I have grouped and single apps are both doing this. Tap tap tap tap the app does not open go to a different app and it opens, back to the apps that don't open and they continue to not open, a long press on the app generates haptic feedback but nothing...
