Out of the Loop - It's Been Awhile

[Jeremiah Bonds]

It's been awhile since I've been around. How is everyone doing? Has any of the regulars ditched this phone? How are the pictures coming out? Anyone having issues with the latest updates?

I’ve just recently purchased an XL2 and I love this phone. Coming from a note 8. Love the fluidity, battery life, smoothness and the camera is sick! I know Samsung feature packs their phones but to me less is MORE!

Where have you been?
What have you been doing?
I've certainly not ditched my Pixel 2 XL.
It's still the best phone yet!
Camera still excellent!
No outstanding issues.
How are you doing with yours?

Sup Jeremiah .

I have been good. Same ol' same ol .. except I have cut myself out of the phone game. I have other stuff to worry about and phones that are coming out are either the same or very minimal upgrades. I am keeping my Pixel 2 XL until a Pixel 3 .

Camera is still awesome. Love the updates / security patches. No issues from them so far.

Still diggin' my Pixel 2. I agree with the minimal upgrades that are in the releases. With the P2, no need to upgrade anyway as it is already an upgrade. Nice to have cash for other things.
JB, you still rockin' yours?

I switched from a Black Pixel 2 with 64GB storage to a Panda Pixel 2 XL with 128GB storage. Pictures are still great. No issues so far with the latest updates.

Everyone truly sounds content.

I have mine, never intend on upgrading until the 3rd iteration. I enjoy this phone so much that I don't even think about it. I'm not enticed by any phone and won't be. I think I have a bug that I can't figure out. Every time I restart my phone, the wallpaper reverts to a picture I no longer have on my phone and that was never set as a wallpaper. It's weird and is getting kind of annoying.

I've been busy, trying to be a good hubby to my wife, been working on self-development in my overall life.

On another note, I was doing a video shoot the other day and the cameraman thought the selfie I sent him the night before was taken with a DSLR and he loved it and thought I just keep it on my phone for meme purposes. I told him that it was a selfie from my phone... Front facing selfie. Haha. He was surprised, he went to school for photography and videography. He asked if I had the iPhone X. I was like "naw.. It's the pixel 2" .. Very funny.

Portrait mode pictures are great with front and rear facing cameras.

No intention of switching off my 2XL until the 3XL

 

[TheDonJ77]

Same here!

I'll let you know next week. I just ordered a Pixel 2 yesterday and should have it early next week.

Hello ,well yes this regular ditched the pixel 2 regular to many BT issues and then WiFi failed , Google did RMA me a new phone pretty painless process ,sold it on swappa tried the XL but screen quality compared to price didn't work, now im on the OnePlus 5T nice phone large flat screen with Oreo and Oxygen OS do miss the pixel camera but no regrets leaving.
Google needs to make some basic improvements.

Still have mine, still love it. Camera is quick and accurate, phone is as snappy as the day I got it, it's just nice not looking for the next device to get better performance. Will be looking at the Gen 3 when it drops, but otherwise, content is the perfect word to describe how I feel.

I'll add that I too plan to get the Pixel 3 XL when it is introduced. When I got my Pixel 2 XL my wife inherited my old Nexus 6. And since we both have Google phones, we went with Google Fi. We both work from home and are on fast WiFi at home and have WiFi literally wherever we go. It's been great and the price is right!

Thankfully she could care less about technology and just wants a phone that makes calls and has "OK Google" on it so she can use the Google Assistant. She does look forward to getting my Pixel 2 XL when I go to the Pixel 3 XL. Of course I'm pleased with how this is working out!

What happens when you do a restart?

His wallpaper changes. Mine changes daily but it's deliberate.

1) Im doing good
2) I still have my Panda,never considered ditching it.
3) Pictures are great
4) Phone has been running great, no issues with it

IF I Update it would be to the Pixel 3 , that's still to far off for me to be thinking about right now

Thought you were rocking a G6 about a year or so ago? Not sure but I remember you from those forums.

Also, will meditate and send good vibes your way brother. I am sure you are a fantastic husband.
