    Google Pixel - Preorder / order / shipping thread

    I ordered from verizon on the 18th and received both phones yesterday. Totally worth the 10-day wait.

    Google Pixel - Preorder / order / shipping thread

    I ordered 2 silver 128GB 5" Pixels from Verizon on Dec 18th. I keep checking my email hoping for an update even though it's only been 2 days but after reading the past few pages I don't imagine I'll be getting my phones for a few weeks.

    Wrong preorder thread. Sorry.

    Where's screen grid size?

    How strange. Are there apps/widgets on the screen (weather, shopping, etc) that can't be resized? Remove everything except 1x1 size apps. That's my best guess. I tried to reproduce the problem on my S6 without success.

    Considering getting a Z3 compact, but...

    I agree to let it drain before giving it a full charge. I don't think you have to worry much about overcharging it though. If you are worried then yes, you would have to keep checking. I plug mine in at night if it's below 40% and leave it charging while I'm sleeping. I wake up to 100% charge...

    Why are my texting conversations separated into two conversations?

    Is there a 1 before their area code in their contact profile? Example: 1-123-555-1234 If there is a 1 at the beginning then remove it. Also tell the other person to remove the 1 in front of your number on their side as well. I had this problem on an S4 and this turned out to be the fix. Also...

    Cases for z3 compact?

    I have 2 of those cases and I haven't had a problem with the case pulling up my tempered glass screen protector. I stretched the case around the protector when I first put the case on and it goes on and off just fine now. The case just has to be worn in a little.

    RhinoShield Crash Guard Bumper Preorder

    Got this 2 days ago. Funny when they say "hopefully we will be able to run a more well thought out campaign next time." Really? If it were called the iZ3 I bet there would have been better marketing instead of hiding it inside a page that was inside another page. If you want money you need to...

    Z3C & AT&T

    I took my SIM out of my S5, trimmed it down to nano SIM size, and stuck it in my Z3C. Everything worked immediately and I haven't had any problems. I was getting crappy signal in my house so I called AT&T in an attempt to get a free microcell. They asked for my IMEI so I gave it to them. They...

    RhinoShield Crash Guard Bumper Preorder

    I got an email update from Evolution Labs today. I was surprised to see they only have one fifth of the orders they need. RhinoShield reviews and test videos speak for themselves. I'd like to see this come to fruition so tell your friends. Dear Dan, Thanks for the support and pre-order, I am...

    Which is better, Motorola Moto X (2014) or Sony Xperia Z3?

    Re: Sony Xperia Z3 or Sony Xperia Z3 Compact Agreed. I owned the HTC M8 and S5 before my Z3C. The Sony is noticeably faster in regular use. My wife has the S5 and I notice a little lag whenever I use her phone. Samsung's skin is weighing down good hardware. The Z3C's minimal skin and lower...

    Anyone find a good glass screen protector.

    I'm on my second one of these: Amazon.com: VSTN ® Sony Xperia Z3 mini, Z3 Compact Ultra-thin Highest Quality HD clear Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector (1pcs): Cell Phones & Accessories I jumped out of my truck and my phone flew five feet in the air and landed on its face. I couldn't tell...

    Anyone else order a Z3C from Sony USA site?

    I haven't flashed mine yet so I'll find out. I'm hoping it optimized the antennas for US frequencies. I'll let you know in a few hours. Mine too. English was on the top of the pile of pamphlets that come in all different languages. My S5 was the same way though. A bunch of copies of the same...
