    Cell connectivity is just bad or is TMobile just this bad.

    I've had 0 issues on T-Mobile with a physical SIM on the P7. I've never turned on 5G though, just running on regular LTE. Frankly I find 5G to be a useless gimmick that just drains more battery. Curious to see how it will be in Europe though, travelling there in December. Btw, does anyone...

    Has P6 Fingerprint improved vastly now compared to initial release??

    Hi there, I'm one of those early buyers of P6 who ended up returning the phone because of the many issues but mostly due to the fingerprint reader above all else. I didn't want to miss the return window. I'm reading that after many months of updates, the fingerprint reader is a lot better now...

    I'm done. Too many issues, even after the March update.

    Please please, take a few minutes to write to google via Twitter MadebyGoogle or emailing their support. They NEED to hear this from customers. Apple does such a better job at quality control and Google needs to take note and up their game!

    How is the battery life on S22?

    I've used the S21+ for a while and after all the optimizations I've done, pretty happy with the battery life. Considering the regular S22 for the small size but concerned about battery life. If I'm not playing games and use dark theme for everything, how is the battery life based on your...

    Pixel 3 owners: what's your next phone?

    Re: Nexus 6! How about now? Are you still using the Nexus 6? If so, still with the original battery?

    Can you turn off the 5G in Pixel 4a 5G

    Hi there, I have no interest in the 5G feature and mainly want this phone for the wide angle lens. For battery purposes would want to turn off the 5G feature and assume there's a way to turn it off in Network settings. Can someone confirm that it could be done? Thanks.

    Don't look for a monthly patch today

    But did you actually receive it yourself? I don't know anyone who's actually got it yet!

    Major Internal Turmoil at Google over the Pixel 4

    In particular, the P4 was the problem as the larger battery in the XL version made it more usable. I'm a total phone junkie and talk to tons of technical/non-technical people about their phones and never met anyone who had the P4 and was able to get through an entire day with moderate use due...

    Major Internal Turmoil at Google over the Pixel 4

    This is exactly why I returned it within a week of trying the Pixel 4. The battery life was simply the worst of any smartphone I had ever owned and was a total deal breaker. It seems that the whole division chief of Pixel had been equally pissed about the poor battery life.. wonder why he...

    Anyone considering upgrading their 3a or XL to a Pixel 4?

    I actually had the Pixel 4 for about a week.. Really really tried to make it work but couldn't. It's battery life is simply THE WORST of any Android phone I've ever had. Had to return it..even when I had, I did some side by side comparisons and honestly for most shots, the camera isn't that...

    DO NOT BUY the Pixel 4 if you care at all about battery life!!!

    It was the Pixel 4 (not the XL) version and I returned after not being able to live with the terrible terrible battery life. It really was hands down the worst android phone I ever had when it came to battery life.

    Just to clarify, this is the Pixel 4 XL and not the Pixel 4, right?

    DO NOT BUY the Pixel 4 if you care at all about battery life!!!

    Yes there is some truth to this but really... 3hrs SOT is not much no matter how you look at it... and when I says 3 hrs, actually being generous..if you're outside and have to have the brightness more than half way.. then it's gonna be in the 2 range! I even did the WhatsApp web connect so I...

    DO NOT BUY the Pixel 4 if you care at all about battery life!!!

    DJM626, You're averaging 5.5 hrs of SOT?? Can you talk a little about the setup you have?? Dark theme everywhere? Bluetooth? WiFi? I had even gone as far as disabling NFC, account sync, and force stopping most apps that I wasn't regularly using. It's too late for me as I returned it already...
