My Pixel XL came today, even when I thought it went coming until Monday. I really really like the camera and the fingerprint sensor (coming from a Nexus 6). It's way too early to judge battery life. I haven't really used the assistant yet.FunOne posted:I've got the Anker USB C and multiple charger, the 40w older version. Is there any reason to worry about using it with my Pixel? I haven't had any issues with my 6P. I'm so worried about chargers with all of the talk about how you can do serious damage and whatnot. I have an Aukey QC2.0 wall charger and got some A to C cables that the Google dude said were good. Is that going to be fine and just slow charging? I'm ok with that as long as it isn't dangerous. I'll probably just buy some more Google chargers since they'll, in theory, be the most compatible.

If this is clogging up the thread, I could just put it up for a thread here or in SH/SC or such. There's really only one course of action available. Factory reset, then once that fails, reflash the stock firmware. I don't think anything else has even a chance of fixing it and I'm pretty sure reflashing the stock firmware is the only thing that will.

Getting ready to switch from iPhone to Pixel. I turned off iMessages already on my end, but I'm not getting texts from other iPhone people. What do I need to do?

Well, Not exactly the news I had been hoping to hear, but that was the last possible solution, so thanks all the same. I'll look into that on returning home from my vacation trip. Any solid backup software you can suggest to me in particular? I will have access to a larger SD card back home, at least.

Figured it out. FaceTime was the hang up

FaceTime is the one thing I'm jealous of with my wife's iPhone. It consistently works a lot better than either Hangouts or Duo.

a friend of mine used it to talk to her husband while he was in afghanistan and it seemed handy for that. dont get the appeal of using it to talk to someone you'll otherwise see regularly tho, and especially don't see the appeal of using it in public but see people doing so all the drat time

Perhaps rooting would be more useful then. Remove the least of the two v1.0.0 versions, see if that clears things up, and factory reset or reflashing stock firmware.

rooting would let you use titanium backup which is better than carbon but unless your bootloader is already unlocked I'm p sure it will factory reset when you unlock it

While reading the news this morning, my 5X shut off, went into a bootloop, and then stopped responding to the power button. It's literally 12 months, 3 weeks old. I'm on my wife's iPhone 5 waiting to hear if they'll replace it.

I hope Google will do you a solid. 6P's are dropping in price like rocks right now on Swappa, and I picked up a 32GB one from $330 early last week. They're down to about $300.

Yeah everyone is selling their 6p now that the pixel is out. There are dozens of new listings every day, some of them very cheap.

Whole day at home on WiFi and automatic brightness at 50%. Will be interesting to see what a normal day of work will do. Especially since reception at work is kinda bad.

They transferred me to LG, whose solution is "send it to us and within 7-9 days we will determine if it's your fault and if we will fix it or replace it." I don't have a backup phone and I actually need it for my job. Just ordered the Pixel. I guess I could have ordered the 5X again, but whatever.

Is Android Pay on the Nexus 6P rejecting payments just for having an unlocked bootloader now? I haven't been able to use it in the last week and I'm definitely not rooted.

CLAM DOWN posted:If Google doesn't send XL stock to Canada I swear to god I will write a strongly worded tweet about it. Have you tried those popup Google shops at Best Buy? If you're in the GVA area, which I think you are, Coquitlam, Surrey and Burnaby all have stores with one in them. If I had to guess, they'd be the #1 priority for Google to be pushing inventory to if there is any in Canada.

I've literally been to all those in the past 3 days haha, including Metrotown and Pacific Centre. They all said they expect more stock Monday so I will continue my quest then.

There was a guy with a google hoodie selling up the phone but Best Buy wouldn't sell outside of contract. I ended up getting in line for an XL 128GB through Rogers, just waiting for the email that they are at my local store to pick up.

Watching 5x prices go down on Swappa. Wtb 2x 32gb 5x $400 freedom dollars

Are the Pixels at Best Buys locked down into demo mode? I went to play with one at a Verizon yesterday, but there's only so much I can do to compare the snappiness "feeling" to my current phone if I'm not able to download something like Sky Force Reloaded or shove a bunch of apps into the app drawer to test the scrolling there.

No, you can turn off the retail display mode, but I wouldn't recommend logging onto your Google account on it.

Just saw a Pixel ad on TV and it said "Only at Verizon". This may technically be true, but it seems like a really stupid thing to do because people won't think they can be used on other networks, or purchased directly from Google.

How do you turn off the demo mode? I poked around for a few minutes but it seems I was logged in as a demo user rather than the device owner. I didn't want to take the time (or raise the ire of the employees) to reboot the phone.
