    Anyone's phone shipping yet?

    Ordered two P6P's from T-Mobile on 10/28. Got the black one (for my other half) pretty quickly (11/10), but I'm still waiting for MY white one! Shipping estimate is "11/19-12/03". Obviously the early estimate was wrong. Are the white models rare or something???

    Which 6 Pro case are you getting?

    Did you get a translucent case for your 5a? If so, did the plastic turn yellow?

    Android 12 & Pixel Stand charging

    I am having the same problem. I just installed the 12 Beta v4 yesterday and last night I noticed that it just stayed on my lock screen, not the dimmed AOD that it usually displays. I tested putting it on the stand during the day and it begins its normal photo slideshow properly as I have set...

    MS Outlook and Teams No Longer Working in Android 12 Beta 2

    Thanks to all for your replies regarding Outlook. I just reinstalled the 12 beta (this time the v4) and Outlook works just fine. all the other apps that didn't work before now are rolling. I really like the new UI so far and apps seem to open much quicker.

    MS Outlook and Teams No Longer Working in Android 12 Beta 2

    Is everyone who uses Outlook for their email client having this issue? I had installed 12 Beta 2 awhile back and Outlook didn't work, so I reluctantly reverted back to 11. Was considering trying again with 12 Beta 3.1, but if Microsoft still hasn't issued a fix yet, I guess I'll have to wait...

    My Android is blocking Google Calendar notifications

    I know this is a very old question, but I had this problem too. The fix is to go into your phone's main settings screen (not the settings of the Calendar app itself) and choose "Apps & Notifications". Find the Calendar app and tap the "Notifications" menu. The slider for "all Calendar...

    Android 12 beta now available.

    Very upset with this beta. I totally understand that there will be glitches, but this time around it was ridiculous. When I jumped on the Android 11 beta last year only one of my apps didn't work: Textra. I sent an email to the developers and they fixed that issue in one day. This time...

    WTS: Pixel 4 XL Google case

    Did this get posted and forgotten? I'd be interested in this case if it hasn't been sold.

    Pixel 4a Sold Out?

    Although backordered on both the Google Store and Amazon, Best Buy has them (shipped only) and I have one on the way to be delivered today. Looks like the only place that has them in stock.

    Pixel 4a Sold Out?

    Thanks for the info. They want $11 more for it (not a big deal), but I have to sign up for an account to find out if they have it in stock, etc., so I stopped there. I'm not really in that big of a hurry, so I'm just going to wait a couple of weeks, but I find it very odd that Google is so...

    Pixel 4a Sold Out?

    The estimated ship date from the Google Store is October 7-8 (16-17 days). Amazon indicates an October 8-19 delivery date. Best Buy has none in any store within 250 miles, but does show 2 day expedited shipping. Is this phone really that popular or did they just make 500 of them? 😁

    Will a Verizon Pixel 4 XL work on T-Mobile?

    I'm not sure if the same issue will apply with this phone, but I transferred a Verizon Pixel 3a to T-Mobile and I cannot get the visual voicemail feature to work. T-Mobile spent at least 4-5 hours trying to help me fix that to no avail. They concluded that it was because it was a Verizon...

    Nov. 1 All Biometric Authentication Must Include Face Unlock

    My main bank is Wells Fargo so I sent them an email asking when they plan to implement Face Unlock. This is their reply: Hello, We are glad you reached out to us. We have plans to support features for the Pixel 4 sometime in 2020. We appreciate your patience as we work on making these...

    Does the 2 have the same issues with lag as the 2 XL?

    I have had my Pixel 2 non-XL for about a year. I am an admitted app wh@re (I just checked and I have 139 installed). I have seen absolutely no lag or glitches and the battery lasts as long as the day I bought it. I'd like to upgrade to the Pixel 3 when it comes out, but I ask myself "why?"...
