I'm curious if anyone has received the $100 Refer-a-Friend promotional balance on their account yet? We should be receiving the $100 Promotional Balance by Tuesday, Feb 12, 2019. (6 weeks from the end of the promotion which ended Dec 31, 2018). PSA:. The Promotional Balance only lasts until...

This is a known issue that started after the 8.1 update. The proximity sensor seems to be too sensitive on some Pixel 2 XL. Some things that sometimes helps: 1. Remove screen protector and case 2. Clean proximity sensor area Here's a link to the Google bug tracker for this issue. Go...

I've had Verizon TGSP on my Pixel 2 XL phone for a few days now. When viewing at an angle, I can see a rainbow/halo effect in the center of the screen. On a positive note, I liked that the protector came with a plastic installation tray to properly align the screen protector, which made...

For me, it's not about protection of the screen, or even scratches; it's about preserving the oleophobic coating on the glass. I seem to wear out the coating within a few months, leaving shiny areas that make the phone look worn out. By using a tempered glass protector, I can replace it with a...

I find it hilarious that many people are complaining about the cost of the phone, yet the most expensive configurations are completely sold out. Hmmm....

The only way to fix this is to have your corporate IT admin update their RADIUS software. There's nothing you can do on your end. Basically, the issue is that your shiny new Android 6.0 negotiates TLS 1.2 with the RADIUS server, but due to a bug in many RADIUS servers (since many of them use...

As I and others mentioned, it definitely matters on the Nexus 6, but it sounds like it doesn't matter on the 6P. Thanks for the timely feedback, everyone! Posted via the Android Central App

On the Nexus 6P, does it matter if the (AT&T) SIM is installed or not during initial setup or hard reset? On the Nexus 6, it made a difference -- if the SIM was installed, it would install some AT&T bloatware, and I believe (though I may be wrong) that it prevented timely OS updates due to the...

Perhaps a bit OT, but I just wanted to comment to folks that don't think they need a screen protector on the Gorilla Glass 4 screen. My reason for using a screen protector on my devices has almost nothing to do with scratching the screen. It has everything to do with preserving the oleophobic...

My Nexus 5 and my sunglasses are incompatible :D I have a pair of polarized sunglasses (Maui Jim) and when I wear them in the car, the screen is completely black -- BUT only in landscape mode....in portrait mode, it's fine. Perhaps this is how California is dealing with the distracted driving...

Just received my Nexus 5 Glass TR, and noticed another issue -- they didn't cut out space for the proximity sensor. There have been problems in the past with similar products when the proximity sensor isn't cleared. For example, XGear had to recall their tempered screen protectors for this...

Hello, I just got a Nexus 4 and have AT&T. I currently have an old bundle plan (Code PMX9) that combines: unlimited data (3G) tethering 1500 text messages When I tried to upgrade to the Unlimited 4G data plan, I was told that there isn't an unlimited 4G data plan that includes...

Hello everyone, I just received email from Google that my 16gb Nexus 4 has shipped. Ordered 11/27@12:00:37.
