    Found my old Palm Pre

    The Pre didn’t run PalmOS, it ran WebOS. It was a fun OS for the time.

    Android Auto problems

    Have you rebooted your phone? I had that problem with my pixel and restarting the phone cleared it up.

    Am I in the minority?

    And if Apple were the ones having the blue tint issue, you guys would be having a field day raking them over the coals and yelling that anyone who was willing to give them a pass were iSheeple. SMDH. It’s a real issue that a flagship phone has a demonstrable issue in as widespread a fashion as...

    Anyone waiting for root?

    I have been using my rooted pixel now for about a week and the only thing I've needed root for is AdAway. And that's honestly a really big need. I can't stomach surfing the web without something like it. I have zero problems paying for apps if they're worth it but the wide internet absolutely...

    You can use Android Pay on a rooted device.

    Restoring content....

    Try transferring the small stuff without things like photos, music and apps. Use Google drive on your iPhone and follow the backup directions in that app to transfer your photos. Apps and music you can do separately.

    Pixel 2: what's all the fuss?

    I've been asking myself this question since I picked up the OG Pixel earlier this week to get the awesome trade in value on it (bought a like new one for $275 and Google is going to give me $350 for it). This device is pretty awesome with root and AdAway. Granted I'm coming from an iPhone 7+...

    Pixel 2 durability :( (bend test complaint)

    It took me about 3 seconds of searching to find this thread: https://www.google.com/amp/s/forums.androidcentral.com/phone-wars/440349-iphone-6s-bending-when-sitting-down-5.html%3famp Don't get me wrong - I think it's much ado about nothing but you'd think after all the hubbub about the iPhone...

    Pixel 2 durability :( (bend test complaint)

    I wonder if you all would have the same response if this were the iPhone. That bending is problematic.

    Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Pre Order / Shipping Discussion

    I agree. I went to the Verizon store earlier today and the shift is very noticeable and slightly distracting. It may not bother some people, but that’s not the same as saying it’s not happening. It’s most definitely happening (on both 2XL devices I looked at).

    Anyone waiting for root?

    It’s not just ads. It’s the really heavy JavaScript that makes everything load slowly and the tracking across sites. I hate it. What do you mean Netflix not working? It’s working fine for me.

    Anyone waiting for root?

    What do you do about content blocking? I can't live without it.

    Never received Mini informational email for second order

    How long did this promo run? I never saw anything about it when I ordered mine.

    when will the reviews be out? (Update: Reviews are live!)

    I'm torn right now. I was all set on the smaller pixel until the reviews uniformly called it "dated" design. I'm also unsure exactly what the new hardware gets me versus what android 8 provides. I need to get to the Verizon store again to check out the hardware now that I'm familiar with the...
