    How do I get Google Assistant to play music stored on my phone?

    I don't believe it can. It will always try to stream it as far as I know. You can try adding your music to Google Play Music and putting it in a playlist, then ask Assistant to play that playlist.

    Duo & Google Assistant

    Re: Duo & Google Assistant Actually, the comparison isn't 100% correct, technically. Hangouts comes pre-installed on a lot of phones that Assistant works with (just like how FaceTime comes pre-installed on iPhones), and "make a video call" command works with Hangouts with no issues. But yes...

    Pixel 2 stock ringtones --- Seriously, Google?

    Honestly I find my Nexus 6 ringtones/notification sounds to be great, and since I rooted it along ago, I extracted all of the default sounds from it for safekeeping. Now when I transfer to a new phone I just copy those ringtones to their respective folders on the phone and set my apps to use...

    Anyone else bail on the pixel launcher?

    Honestly, the Pixel Launcher is pretty amazing. I'm used to the simple nature of the Google Now Launcher but the Pixel has a lot more things going for it, like the built-in weather widget, the extra space for another app because of no app drawer icon (something I used to do with Nova Launcher...

    'shock' will wear off

    I know, me too. The Nexus 5X got a lovely discount; these Pixel Phones should have been discounted for Fi users, so that more people would consider joining, therefore gaining more traction, which would pay off the discount in no time. It would have also made it easier on the wallet, and help...

    This phone surprised me

    Honestly, the Nexus 6 is definitely the most underrated phone ever, both by Google and Nexus users out there. Everyone complained about the giant screen, but it's one of my favorite things about it so their complaints, to me, are just completely silly.

    Free Google VR makes Pixel price easier to accept

    Yes, I agree, it's what got me to preorder in the end. I was seriously considering the 6P before then. Either phone is a decent upgrade to my current, aging Nexus 6 and I opted in for the Daydream-Ready phone instead so that I could be future proofed for a while, as VR is definitely something...

    Google Pixel XL - Preorder /order/shipping thread

    Google was still in the middle of their presentation when I loaded up the Fi site and pre-ordered an 128 GB Quite Black Pixel XL. I got approved for financing so I decided to get the higher storage option... though, I wonder now if maybe the 32 GB version would have been better instead, what...

    Leaving Verizon for Fi

    Well, Fi does have roaming coverage with Verizon thanks to US Cellular, so if T-Mobile, Sprint and US all fail to give you native coverage at the office, you'd at least still get some coverage.

    The big tease

    I like the teases that have been thrown to us by Google. They've certainly hyped me up. I feel like Google doing such a thing means they do have something great to show us, otherwise why bother, you know?

    May Security Update OTA

    I wonder; what exactly is different about that new radio? There has to be some changes, right? Else they wouldn't change it, yeah? 🤔

    If I may ask, what build number did you get, and how do you know for sure that it's a newer radio? 🤔
