    The AC editors have a Pixel and Pixel XL — ask us about them!

    I got 1, 2, 5 resolved and 6 seems better now than it was yesterday; maybe car and phone just needed to get acquainted. Would love answers to 3 and 4.

    What are your current gripes with the Pixel / XL?

    New fellow Pixel users, which Messaging app do you like better? Verizon (Message+) or the Pixel stock app (Messenger)? Or a 3rd party app? Aaaand, any suggestions on emojis? I know it's a dumb thing but they're so fun and I want them to look good. :p

    What are your current gripes with the Pixel / XL?

    I have a list of custom sounds that were moved from my S6 over but they're not showing up when I go to change the sound for a contact. I found them in a folder (settings - storage - audio) but don't know how to get them where they need to be for me to actually use. When I select and tell it...

    Coming from S6 and minor things, but: 1. Can I use a different image for lock screen vs home screen backgrounds? 2. How can I set contact-specific text sounds?

    I drive a Mazda and the phone and car aren't getting along. I got it connected initially after a few tries, then it wouldn't connect this morning; got an "unknown error" message from the car. I restarted the phone and then it connected but randomly disconnected/reconnected. I came from an S6...

    custom ringtone for text message, how? (samsung galaxy s5)

    Ah, thank you! Just got my Galaxy S6, and I have a handful of contacts that I want to have custom ringtones, got them all in the proper folder, added the field, changed the notification, saved the contacts, and it kept using the default. Restarted the phone and finally THIS is what got them all...

    Bionic notification sounds...

    I just got my bionic and cannot figure this out. Can you share step-by-step details on how you did this? I want to see the new email alert but no sound and I'm stumped. Thanks! :confused:
