    The Pixel 5 battery is a beast.

    Congrats on your P5! Hope you're enjoying it and that you continue to enjoy it with time. As for the battery, I had about the same experience initially. It wasn't until about a month or so in to using it on a daily basis that the battery conditioned and got yet. Better. I did a few full...

    The Pixel 5 battery is a beast.

    Yep, this is what I do too. I've noticed the P5's battery has become yet better after a month or so of use, probably the battery breaking in. It's weird, I'm not used to a phone that can go 2-3 days between charges! It's like the old days of my blackberry curve! Now I only wish that it had a...

    Pixel Stand deal, Did anyone else buy one for their Pixel 5?

    Yeah, I have that same problem with the phone not aligning correctly on the stand when I have the case on the phone, and I'm using Google oem case! You'd think they would have tested this before releasing their case and stand! It's no problem with the case off, but with the case on, I have to...

    Pixel Stand deal, Did anyone else buy one for their Pixel 5?

    I picked up 2 of the Pixel wireless charging stand when they were on sale. One is on my night stand and the other in my office. They work great, I love em! It does support adaptive charging and I like how you can customize the actions when you put it on the stand, like automatically go into...

    Battery Percentage Accuracy?

    I didn't put my phone on the charger last night. Right now, after 1 day and 5 hours, I still have 46% battery left and it says it should last until about 2:15am tonight. I'm not babying it either, regular use, listening to music on my pixel buds, and watched a few youtube videos. Definitely a...

    Battery Percentage Accuracy?

    I notice that my P5's battery percentage will read 100% for the first 4-5 hours, then suddenly drops of something like 92%, and then keeps dropping normally as it should for the rest of the day, and drops a bit faster in the evening (no usage behavior changes). Not that I'm complaining, It's...

    extreme battery saver use

    I am really liking the Extreme Battery Saver. If I go through the whole day with it turned on about 80% of the time, I still have 75-80% battery left at the end of a long day. I like that it disables all apps but essential ones (phone, text, camera, and I set Outlook--for email--as an...

    BlackBerry user goes Pixel 5!

    Got a question for ya. I'd really like to give the GMail app a chance, but 1) every time I open it, it seems to default to just my gmail account, not all mail accounts. So I have to go and manually select all accounts all the time which is getting old. Is there a way to make it show all...

    BlackBerry user goes Pixel 5!

    Agreed and thanks! Yeah, I know I can still use BB Hub on the P5 (in fact the P5 transferred them over when I did the data copy from my keyOne) but I'm trying to learn as best I can on Outlook and GMail. I'll give it some time, but might reinstall Hub if I just can't get over it.

    BlackBerry user goes Pixel 5!

    Hey everyone! Yes, laugh as you might, I've been a BlackBerry user and fan for the last 15 years (started with a Curve, another Curve, Bold 9900, Q10, Z10, PRIV, and keyOne). While the PRIV and keyOne are Android, they are no longer supported as you probably know, and searched for what would...
