    HTC U11 or OnePlus 5?

    No need for SD card with 128GB... Design is subjective (personally I think the design of the U11 is horrid...) Screen you can add to the list with waterproofing and camera. It really depends on what someone is looking for in a phone...

    HTC U11 or OnePlus 5?

    Speakers adjusting? Why are you bothering with faults that can be fixed in a single software update? I don't think you understand that if you don't care about the camera or waterproofing the OP5 is a perfectly fine device. Not all people use cell phones in the same manner...

    OnePlus 5 Initial impressions- I'm on the fence

    Just to clarify, Oneplus is a wholly owned subsidiary of Oppo. How this effects customer service I do not know.

    Magnets and pixel XL

    Technically possible but highly unlikely unless you had some crazy powerful magnets

    Pixel Microphone FAIL - 2 weeks and no phone.

    I was having this same issue and was able to fix it by disabling then re-enabling Bluetooth.

    battery getting crushed - play services and android

    This started happening to me when I updated my weather network app. I uninstalled it cleared cache then reinstalled it and it went back to normal. I think something in the app was bugged and using play services inadvertently.

    7.1.2 and Bluetooth Music Skipping/Cracking

    Nexus 5x had 0 BT issues. For me the crackling occurs intermittently. When it does happen, the crackling continues periodically. If this is software related Google should be able to patch it, but after this amount of time I'm starting to think it may be hardware based. Maybe the BT chip...

    Can't install from the Play Store -- "download pending"

    Glad you figured it out.

    Can't install from the Play Store -- "download pending"

    Try clearing the cache. Probably something glitched when the play store updated.

    Recent Battery Life

    Have you checked for any rogue apps using battery? Unless you made a change to software (OS or App) your battery life shouldn't change drastically, unless your usage pattern has also changed. Batteries will degrade over time but it should be gradual not just losing all battery life all of a sudden.

    How return to set up my google pixel phone from beging?

    All phones have demo mode in the developer options. Just make sure you have developer access and look for demo mode to turn off.

    Google Pixel

    Re: Google Piexel Not many people complaining about pixel battery life. There will always be a few who have installed a bad app that is draining it. The majority think the battery life of pixels are acceptable. My personal experience is that it is great.
