    Cases for the Pixel XL

    Holy cow, those are awesome cases. I really don't like having a case and it is killing me. I tried the MaxBoost mSnap and the lip bothered me too much, speaker cutouts were sharp, and buttons were recessed. I have a Caseology Vault right now and it feels a little too chunky for me... Not that...

    Anyone going naked?

    I've not used a case on my phones for years. However, the Pixel is the most expensive, most fragile, and most slippery phone I've ever owned. My Lumias and Nexus 5X had no problem holding up against a drop. The Pixel would not stand a chance though, I really wish they would have made it more...

    Pixel Bluetooth issues

    This is my observation as well, having my phone in my pocket seems to cut Bluetooth audio in and out with the headset on my head. This is wearing jeans, not lead-lined pants. I've never had this problem since I've been using bluetooth with phones.

    Anyone using pixel coming from iPhone?

    If it is the same app it is very possible it is the same developer. The thing about developing for Android is that there are so many versions and variants to support. And optimization for one device may be bad for another and creating a tree of logic for this adds additional processing and file...

    Pixel XL sold out? Buy an iPhone 7 Plus

    At some point as with all new things you have to be happy with what you have. I think getting a new phone every 2-3 years is a big step up and usually worth it. I don't know if I could wait longer than that unless the technology didn't progress that much which would be pretty sad. Buying a...

    Where is the Daydream redemption code?

    You should have gotten an email after you ordered the phone that states 4 weeks after you receive the phone and as long as you did not return it that you will receive the code for a daydream. From the email: Hi there, Thanks for being one of the first to order Pixel, a phone by Google. Because...

    I Love this Freakin' Thing!

    Same here, I mean Facebook scrolls very well which on my 5X wasn't even close... Chrome scrolls well too. I haven't found an app that has much of an issue outside of loading stuff from the web not keeping up so I hit the bottom of a feed.

    Anyone using pixel coming from iPhone?

    Re: Anyone using pixel coming fro iPhone? Hmmm is it just that you guys prefer the iPhone auto-correct or is there something about the sizing and / or spacing of keys that you like? My favorite keyboard by far is the Wordflow keyboard from Windows Phone which funny enough is on iOS in beta I...

    Everyone happy with Pixel so far?

    I think it really depends on how big your hands are. For me, the XL is too big. I have the 5" Pixel and was worried I went too small but a couple of guys in my office have the XL and after trying it out, it is just too big, especially with those bezels. I will say for both Pixels (especially...

    Battery life ( linked Android Wear)

    Did the Nexus 6 support Bluetooth 4 / LE (Low Energy)? It could be operating on that more efficient standard perhaps? That really is the only thing that I could see standing out. Otherwise something different with how Doze works but I highly doubt that unless you aren't receiving all...

    Google Pixel - How is your battery life?

    Yesterday when I went to bed I had: 32% 15 hours since full charge with 2:15 SOT Apparently the phone decided not to charge last night, so I woke up to this: 7% 1 day 0 hours since full charge with 2:16 SOT All of the app usage showed the same percent as when I went to bed, so why I lost 25%...

    Pixel Owners vs Pixel XL Owners

    Perhaps 2015? Maybe late 2014? I know I used to say I thought 4.7 was the best size. Then I had the 5X at 5.2" and I do think that is dang close to perfect. All the 5.5"+ phones I've tried are too big for me. I haven't had my hands on a OnePlus 3 or Galaxy S7 Edge though, they may be ok. I've...

    Pixel Owners vs Pixel XL Owners

    I have the smaller Pixel, one day in right now and so far I'd say my battery life is decently better than my Nexus 5X was which was a similar size battery (and much slower processor and dimmer screen). I'm pretty pleased so far, but not blown away. I've had it off the charger since 7 AM this...

    Google Pixel XL - Preorder /order/shipping thread

    I have the exact same tracking status and the same question. I wouldn't worry about it. If you are really concerned you can always call your local facility. I am working from home today and usually my shipments come around this time with FedEx so we will see what happens. (Had to do this as for...
