    Shipping date

    There is no gap on my device. It looks and feels great -- very solid. The symmetric bezels and screen are really nice. I am anxious to test Google Pay and the Pixel Stand. Reports of it waking up on super bright are concerning.

    Shipping date

    I already gave my Pixel 3XL to my daughter, but here is a poorly taken picture. Apps still downloading. Looking forward to playing with the camera on the 5. It is going to take me a while to get used to holding this phone because it is smaller and the speaker on the bottom is not front facing...

    Shipping date

    Mine arrived! Damn the box is small. Been a long time since I've owned a phone this small. Time to go open it up!

    Andriod Q Beta Starting

    I had to uninstall, Q is too unstable for a lot of my work apps. I forgot I had to factory reset to roll back, still getting phone back to where it was.

    Pixel 3/3 XL-Share your photo(s) here!

    St. Peter's Basilica Impressed with the way it handles some pretty difficult lighting conditions.

    Just curious...how many apps....

    I'm at 135, which is low for me. I've tried to keep junk if this phone, and I'm doing a reasonable job.

    Free apps vs paid which you use

    I am paying for more apps these days, and some for work are in the paid category. If I use them a lot and there is a paid option, I hate adds, so I pony up the few bucks. That said, most my apps are free, and don't even have a paid option.

    Am I the only person left who turns their phone off at night?

    This is my set up as well. It works for me.

    Am I the only person left who turns their phone off at night?

    [emoji3516]This. You never know when somebody could need something as simple as a ride or a conversation because they are considering something they should not. At this point, my phone has never rung through at an odd hour, but....

    Sound Notification

    For me it has always slid it on the side of the screen, as if coming from the volume button. It still does now.

    Am I the only person left who turns their phone off at night?

    I leave mine on, normally charging. My do not disturb is automatically set to be on from 11p to 5a. Only an important notification would make it through, basically a call from immediately family that may need me.

    Daily Wallpaper doesn't refresh!

    Wait until next security update to see if it spontaneously resolves or resolves from update.

    Just bought my first pixel XL 3 HELP?

    Have you rebooted the phone to take care of the messages app? I have not seen the behavior you describe. If reboot doesn't work, you may need to clear the cache. What phones have you used in the past. That may help with launcher suggestions. Nova Prime is probably the most recommended on this...

    What are you hopeful to see in Q?

    It boggles my mind Google has not made these links yet. Helping information flow like this (organizing the world's information) used to be a strength. I'd like to see more attention paid to this and other examples of organizing my info.
