    Allo vs Pixel Assistant

    I genuinely hope that this is the case, and I am rooting for GA, I just hoped for better. Hopefully someone with a Pixel will comment on GA's functionality.

    Allo vs Pixel Assistant

    I have been playing with Google Assistant in Allo quite a lot, and it seems to me to have significant limitations. It cannot cope with what was demonstrated by Google at the launch of the Pixel in Allo--and I don't mean speech vs. text. It already knows where I live and work, presumably...

    Audio through USB C legit??

    It is a legit as the equipment you plug into it. Everything said above is accurate, in that if audio is connected via USB, then you are bypassing the phone's internal DAC. Whatever device you plug into that USB port will need its own DAC. I would strongly discourage buying headphone with a...

    "I've ordered my Nexus 5X" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    I would encourage anyone who is having difficulty with shipping or payment to contact Google by phone. There were problems with my payment which Google acknowledged to be their fault, and went ahead with shippment anyway. I can't give their payment and handling systems good marks, but at least...

    "I've ordered my Nexus 5X" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    I still have not received an email, my card hasn't been charged, and the FedEx reference number lookup show nothing--but, the order details page now shows my phone as 'Shipped.'

    "I've ordered my Nexus 5X" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    This may or may not mean anything, but I have noticed that previous orders (including my Nexus 4 and Nexus 5) display with the order numbers in gray. Maybe the change means that shipping has either already occurred, or is soon to occur.

    "I've ordered my Nexus 5X" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    This is rich. I just had a chat with a Google Store rep who told me that NO Nexus 5X phones were shipping until October 26.

    "I've ordered my Nexus 5X" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    My order number went from green to gray as well. Curious to know if this is universal, or only for the unlucky few.

    "I've ordered my Nexus 5X" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    I didn't order on September 29th, and I didn't select one-day shipping; however, I totally understand the frustration of those who did and have still not received their devices. I would like to add that this seems to be indicative of larger problems with Google's processing of orders. Look...

    "I've ordered my Nexus 5X" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    This prompted me to call Google as I also odered a N5X 32GB Carbon, but on 10/14. I have been 'Processing' since Monday night, but the date still displays as 'October 21-22'--today or tomorrow. I couldn't see how that was possible, but the Google rep I spoke with said that the order had...

    "I've ordered my Nexus 5X" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    I am not sure what is going on with Google, but I am a bit perplexed by this history: 2015/10/14 - ordered Nexus 5x Carbon 32GB through Project Fi 2015/10/19 5:00pm - status shows as 'Pending October 21-22' 2015/10/19 7:30pm - status shows as 'Pending October 27-28' 2015/10/20 8:15am -...

    "I've ordered my Nexus 5X" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    Anybody know how to get rid of my silly 11-year-old picture that shows next to my posts? I removed that from Google like three years ago.

    "I've ordered my Nexus 5X" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    Sorry to be a little of general topic before. I did get some infomation from Project Fi that may be helpful to some who ordered through Project Fi. The 'Pending .... October 21-22' isn't an indication of ship date if your order was placed through Project Fi. According to the Fi rep, that...
