Apologies for the confusion. I meant that photos taken WITH my Pixel are counting against the storage quota. When I go to Google Drive, every photo that I've taken with my Pixel says it's using 0 bytes of storage. But then under the storage checker website - which indicates how much of your 15GB...

Hi all! I am having an issue where my Pixel photos and videos appear to be counting against the 15 GB storage quota tied to Gmail, Drive, and Google Photos not taken or uploaded by a Pixel phone. This caused me to reach my 15 GB storage limit and delete photos and files from Photos and Drive...

Thanks so much everyone for your responses. iseeangelsMickey, thanks so much for your passionate post; it inspired me to call back and demand a replacement. They attempted to transfer me to Asurion and I aggressively noted that this was outrageous and demanded a new phone. They ended up...

Seems like even those of us who have been lucky to get the Pixel over the past few months are not immune from the (unacceptable) inventory/distribution issues plaguing the Pixel. I have been experiencing the battery drain-death problem reported by some with my 128GB Pixel. Basically, at or...

I bought an iPad Pro earlier this year in anticipation of switching to the iPhone, before I ultimately settled with the Pixel. I don't mind iOS as a tablet (just as I don't mind using macOS), but I'm really tied into the Google ecosystem. Sure, Google apps work well with iOS, but just try and...

I bought the Pixel, which is ironic given my prior posts criticizing its shortcomings at a premium price (and even contemplating switching to an iPhone). I compromised even more, it seems, by buying the smaller Pixel after having owned the gargantuan N6 and N6P. The reason I bought one is...

I would say the same thing if someone contemplated spending $800 on a Pixel to put an AT&T SIM in it. My concerns aren't with the network so much as it is with the Pixel's incomplete compatibility with networks other than Verizon (and maybe T-Mobile, which seems to be supporting the Pixel). As I...

I don't own the Pixel/Pixel XL but, based on my experience with the N6P last year, I just cannot justify buying and activating this phone on the Sprint network unless you are willing to deal with the possibility of poor call quality and clueless Sprint representatives asking you what a Pixel is...

I'm in the market for a new phone and the Note7 debacle has made my life a little bit harder and would love people's opinions. I was wondering how S7/S7 edge owners feel about lag and app optimization on their phones, now that the device has been on the market for nearly a year. If I stick with...

So. Much. Lag. Also, I am experiencing a problem where lines of colors flash frequently when using the camera. When my battery is below 30%, the camera is basically unusable unless I'm standing absolutely still. It's such a disappointment, because photo quality is good in everything but low...

Correct - I directed my sympathy towards Samsung being unable to remedy this problem in any shape or form that would satisfy consumers and the public. Human error does happen, even at this scale. I'm not saying that the Note7 issues are excusable; merely that it's difficult for me to think of a...

In a way, I do feel for Samsung because there was no way they could have remedied this problem - which honestly, could've happened to any smartphone manufacturer - in a reasonable timeframe to consumers. I did believe, until this Southwest story, that the Note7 was going to make it after all. I...

Google has done a lot of things very well. And Android - flaws and all - is bar none a more cutting-edge and functional platform than iOS. That's why, year after year, Apple continues to adopt features that Android has had for years. iOS 11 will boast "batch notifications" for the first time and...

Note that Google is offering basically the same price point as Samsung without expandable storage and without the IP 68 rating. I don't see why they couldn't have sold the smaller Pixel at $549.

No Wi-Fi calling in this day and age is a big deal. I'm on Sprint and can't justify this purchase.
