    What would it take for you to NOT upgrade to the pixel 2?

    Due to how expensive I'm expecting the Pixel XL 2 to be, it needs to not have any major show stoppers. I can live without a headphone jack (I don't like it but 90% of the time it won't affect how I personally use my phone) If there is no headphone jack there had better be water resistance...

    What colors do you want to see in the Pixel / Pixel XL 2?

    I'll be happy with a repeat of the very silver color scheme. I always have mostly black phones and I'd like to brighten things up. A teal back, white front combo would be fantastic (like one of the fan renders) but I won't get my hopes up. It would probably be smarter for them to offer the...

    Battery Percentage....

    I've always used an extra quick settings widget in the notification shade that offers a battery icon in the status bar. Currently I'm using Power Toggles. I don't know why Google is so stubborn on this. The little tiny battery numbers you can barely see when tweaking system settings is really...

    What's your favorite clear Nexus 6p case?

    I have one almost exactly like that but clear that I got off eBay. Not sure if it is still available but that is where I would look. I am still using it and loving it. Edit: here is a link...

    What are your current gripes with the Pixel / XL?

    I'm assuming they removed this because many users (myself included) complained about it. Raise to wake never worked reliably in my experience and it meant a lot of chances for accidental wakes when you were just handling the phone so I always turned it off. I know a lot of other 6p users did the...

    Anyone skipping this iteration of Pixel?

    I'm skipping this year. Cost is a factor but it is more to see how this first Pixel does and to make absolutely sure Google is dedicated to this new product line (I was certain that the Moto X was going to be a new direction for Google too...). I also think Google will learn a lot from this...

    Is 32GB eneough? Help me understand.

    I think it can be you just need to be really honest with yourself about how you use your phone. I am using a 32gb Nexus 6p right now. I am using 15.52GB out of 25GB available. I haven't done a fresh install since I got the phone a year ago. I use this phone as my primary camera, used it for my...

    The muggles seem to like the Pixel phone

    Giving the Pixel a 1080p screen probably wasn't a cost decision. It was much more likely to be a decision based on what will give most Pixel users the best experience. Battery life with the smaller battery would probably be far worse for very small benefit (unless you are using VR) on this 5"...

    will people really shell out almost $1,000 for a Pixel XL with 128gb? ($947 after tax)

    Apparently yes since all 128gb XLs are sold out last time I checked on the US Google Store. I was kind of surprised.

    Which color will you go for?

    Silver is easily the best looking in my opinion. Still don't understand why they needed such a big glass window on the back (a window the size of the 6p's but flat would have looked so much better). But over all I think the silver version looks pretty good.

    Size matters not; judge me by my size do you?

    I really wish they had stuck with 5.7". I wanted to try big phones for the first time when I bought the 6p and it turns out I like them. I don't want a downgrade especially when on screen buttons take up a lot of space in most apps. Obviously it is great that there is a proper small option...

    Immersive mode quick settings tile for Nougat

    Just updated to Android N. I would also like a solution to this issue. Preferably without root.

    Nougat OTA Update

    I just got the U update via OTA a couple hrs ago. Running it now. So far my apps work and I am loving the new small display size. Too early to tell about battery life.

    I am not sure where to post tbis

    I am having the exact same issue. There is no floating post button to create a new comment in a forum thread. On the main page articles everything works fine. I have to reply to a post in the forums (as I'm doing now) in order to make a comment to a forum post. Edit: I am using the main AC app...
