    Google Assistant via long press on center crown button

    Is anyone else finding that they are constantly launching Google Assistant because of the position of the center crown button relative to the bending/flexing of one's wrist? Every time I look down at my watch the Google Assistant screen is lit up. While the two other buttons can have their...

    Are there differences depending on source?

    Did u buy your Pixel from Verizon or from Google? If from Google, when you use it on Verizon do you get Verizon's HD voice and wifi calling? I know that when using carrier branded phones versus unlocked phones there has been some services available / not available, but the argument here is the...

    Are there differences depending on source?

    Thank you for your reply. I should have also included the fact that what I am hoping to do is to take the Google Pixel that I purchased through Google and currently use on AT&T and switch carriers to Verizon, if they will let me bring my own phone and just provide me with a plan and a sim card.

    Are there differences depending on source?

    Aside from where it is sold, and the inclusion (or not) of some Verizon bloatware, are there any functional differences between pixels purchased at Verizon versus one purchased through Google? Am I able to take a previously acquired pixel from Google and use it on Verizon?

    Is battery a moot point at the end of the day?

    Stock Messaging App Notification Question

    I actually switched to Textra from the stock messaging app. Problem solved. If / when Light Manager gets updated to address this issue the option to switch back to the stock messaging app will be there. Until then, I am just fine with Textra. Actually I quite like it. Simple and fast.

    Stock Messaging App Notification Question

    Should have searched before posting. I found my answer. The problem persists because I am using Light Manager. I have to choose the lesser of two evils.... either deal with this for now until the app is updated, or turn it off and not have the kind of LED notifications I like. There's a...

    Stock Messaging App Notification Question

    Using the stock messaging app.... Every time I get a new SMS, if I choose to go right into the SMS app and read the message as opposed to clicking on the notification itself first the notification doesn't go away until I go and clear it. Very annoying. Shouldn't it disappear as soon as the new...
