I'm battling with CS now, but as far as I can tell, they will NOT sell it to you without an account line attached to it. So you can't just go in and buy the phone unless you have a Verizon account.

All this pixel love is making me sad I bought a 6p two weeks ago. 6p is already the best phone I've ever had so it's not so bad, but knowing the pixel is just better enough to make me think of getting one is annoying. So great job guys!

hooah posted:I recently factory-reset my 2014 Moto X (on 5.1 'cause Verizon), and it isn't doing the system down-time (as opposed to the Motorola one) correctly. It enters it fine, but within an hour, it's no longer in priority mode and I have to futz with the volume and tell it to go back into priority mode. From then on, it's fine until the morning at the correct time. Does anyone have any idea why the hell this is happening? This morning I discovered that turning priority mode back on is not, in fact, permanent. I woke up before down time is scheduled to end, and my phone was doing the "breathing" thing, and wasn't in priority mode when I checked. What the hell? This is terrible!

For people with a Pixel: does your Pixel launcher weather widget work properly? I'm not talking about it not showing up. It's showing up fine for me and also seems to work. It always shows the current weather info for my current location. The problem is when I tap on it to get more extensive information it doesn't show the weather for the current location. It shows "current location" and the location symbol in the notification bar for a split second but after that just shows the weather for the last place I searched.

So great job guys! I've said it before in this thread, but going from 6P to Pixel XL was not a significant upgrade to me. Probably because the 6P was the first Android phone I had that felt really solid. Sure the Pixel is objectively better, but not by much. I think the biggest difference I've noticed is that the Pixel doesn't get hot under load like my 6P did.

I've been getting a ton of spam calls lately, and been telling my phone to block and report spam for each of them. So if I've blocked them, then why does my phone still give me a notification and gmail chat beeps at me and give me an "SMS" icon for the 2-5s long voicemail that they leave which contains nothing but silence? How do I block spam voicemails. peepsalot fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Oct 29, 2016 |

Call your provider and tell them somebody is spamming you with calls

Tunga posted:I agree with this. The battery life is better and it's all a little bit faster and nicer but if I wasn't a developer I wouldn't have bought a Pixel. I am excited about next year's phones but ultimately this is not quite as good as an iPhone in almost every way and yet costs the same as iPhone which just doesn't make it good value. I've not a developer, just a gadget geek, but I've high hopes for the Pixel 2 next year if there is to be such a thing. I really hope they don't tie it to just EE and Carphone Warehouse again in the UK though, I'm able to get decent discounts on tariffs if I buy through Vodafone or O2 directly. I can't afford to buy the phone outright from the Google. Apart from having the Snapdragon 830/831 or whatever next year, OIS, waterproofing and smaller bezels would do the job nicely.

Or use a voicemail provider like YouMail that had more options like that.

How do Android phones as a navigation device stack up against dedicated solutions like a Garmin or a TomTom? Can I expect better accuracy/routing improvements with a dedicated device? I've used Google maps occasionally and had the feeling that the instructions were lagging behind a lil on occasion.

Google maps/navigation are constantly updated while a dedicated GPS had to be manually updated, which you generally have to pay for. Google navigation can also take traffic conditions into account and route you around problem areas.

I know this thread loves Motorola phones, are there alternatives that allow wifi calling on T-Mobile? I'm looking at the T-Mobile $30 data, text, and 100 minutes plan, but I would need WiFi calling for that to work. Or should I just look at different plans and ask in that thread?

Wifi calling will still use your minutes. You can use Hangouts for calls over wifi without burning your minutes but I'm not sure if it will show as your number unless you use Google Voice.

I think that has to speak to something

Google maps is vastly superior than every GPS I've used in basically every way, most notably constantly updated maps, traffic information, and user interface. I haven't seen what more modern standalone GPSs are like, but they would have to have come a long way to compete with Google/Waze.

They charge you for time spent talking while not even using their towers? That's real dumb. We're looking at MetroPCS now. We bought a Moto G4 since the Gs were always good, and its very similar to the LG G3 she loved in terms of specifications. We looked at the MetroPCS phones, but they were all either awful or the $500-700 flagships. 22 Eargesplitten fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Oct 30, 2016 |

Auto is pretty much the best way to take pictures on the Pixel as that's the mode that can stitch together multiple exposures for HDR+.

To be honest when Google said they had the best camera I thought it was just hype. I'm really surprised they were able to get so much out of an f2.0 camera.

The kitchen and dining room lights were on, though most of the light is from the TV because the dining room light is mostly blocked by the doorway between the dining and living rooms. Low light performance is v impressive.

She did the accounts and sync > google > contacts thing, and it says it synced, but it's not showing up in contacts.google.com or on the new phone. Google quite helpfully says it works automatically. If we have to we can just go to Best Buy and get them transferred, but it seems like it shouldn't be that hard. I did it on my phone, but I don't remember how.

My Droid Turbo rules but I am in the market for something newer. I went to the Verizon store today and checked out the Pixel and Pixel XL, and I think I like the feel of the Pixel better. It was way faster and more responsive than my Turbo, and the Daydream VR headset looked pretty cool. Is there any reason to get the XL over the regular Pixel aside from personal preference on the size of it?
