    Fingerprint scanner

    Perhaps a factory reset? If that doesn't work, fall back a version, though it may not actually be a version issue, this might help confirm if it is.

    Ok Pixel owners - the S8 is here. Who's jumping ship?

    First question is, how do we know they solved the burning problem? Then, how often do we get security updates and how much un-removable bloat-ware is on it?

    March Security Bulletin up for Pixel / Nexus devices

    Update broke my connection to my Pebble and Google support says I need to contact the manufacturer. ARRRGH!

    :-( Is my Pixel a Lemon?

    Go ahead with the update. If it causes issues, open a ticket and address it right away. It is not clear to me that the issues people are reporting are really with the update as opposed to something else we've yet to realize. By way of example, I had the Bluetooth issue a weekend before I got...

    this XL is pissing me off

    Google Store lists: So that is the benchmark. It also lists a footnote to that: So those are the issues to check. Assuming age and temperature are not the issue, I would look at signal strength and network configuration first. You said you were in Airplane mode and whats left can be a...

    Major showing of trust.

    Converted my wife to a smart phone (Samsung) a few years back because she discovered that I could see Facebook on my phone, and her daughter had music from her phone playing over her car audio. Switched her to a Nexus last year (on Project Fi) and now she cannot remember to swipe up to answer...
