Woohoo just placed my order for a black 128gb xl. How am I going to survive the next month and a half until it gets here?

CodfishCartographer posted:For people who’ve gone from iOS to android, how painful is it to move over data from the iPhone to an Android phone? A lot of my music has been purchased through iTunes, and the iOS 10 music app on iPhones is total garbage. I tried out android a few years ago and wasn’t crazy on it, and wasn’t a big fan of the music apps available, but now that iPhone’s music app is kind of crap (and i mostly use pandora / listen to podcasts nowadays anyways) I’m considering switching over to Android. However, it would be nice to not lose a lot of my music. Upload your iTunes music to Google Music.

Just ordered a white Pixel XL 128 through the Canadian store. Would prefer black, but I have a black case for it already, so whatever. Expedited delivery means I get it tomorrow or Thursday. better than waiting for Rogers to get back to me.

So using pixel + nova launcher, assistant doesn't show up in recent apps, and results disappear as soon as I click away from it. Is there a way to change either of those behaviors?CLAM DOWN posted:I was like 30 seconds too slow anyways, sold out.

Ordered a 32 XL against my better judgement (my 6p is pissing me off with it's 2ish hours of SoT and slow HDR processing ). The 24 months interest free financing makes the T-Mobile $325 credit statement credit much less annoying. Now I just hope I can sell my 6p for a decent amount given that swappa appears to be flooded with them now

Ironically this is the first time I've gotten a Google device without waiting ages at release. Even if they did get stuck in customs for 2 days in Australia because goog didn't value them correctly.

So images with the pixel get backed up to to google photos. Only, when I open up my google drive on a web browser and click google photos, I get a message that says google photos will appear here. Are the photos backed up from my pixel in some other google photos location that doesn't show up in drive?

I have an otterbox commuter for my XL and it's pretty sexy and really high quality. Makes it the same size as my wife's 6P with a diztronic though. I ordered a custom "live" case too and it's taking loving forever. Ordered Oct 20th and it's still processing. Anyone receive theirs?

Here's what mine looks like: The Google Photos on the left is similar to the app and link you provided. Shows my pictures in uploaded order. I created the Pictures folder several years ago myself. The Google Photos folder seems to put them in a chronological heirarchy with it being Year->Month-> then oldest to newest. It got kinda of confusing when they just threw that left link into the fray.

Guess there was a reason why I didn't notice a charge time difference between 15w and 18w chargers. http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/11/01/google-clarifies-pixel-charging-speeds-5-pixel-peaks-at-15-watts-only-xl-can-do-18w/ TLDR, only the XL will ramp up to a full 18w while charging. So, if you have the normal Pixel, it's not necessary to seek out an 18w charger unless you want to future proof for later.

That's really weird. I clicked the photos link and it opened with all the picture I had on there even before the pixel. But when I would go to the google photos tab from drive, it would just say this is where google photos will show. Since going to the direct photos link and seeing those pictures.... now when I go there from drive, they all show. I can't explain it but it seems to be working now. Thanks for the link. rotaryfun fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Nov 2, 2016 |

I know Google has the computing power of a billion Dyson spheres but they're probably putting "indexing photos users can already access from a different place" low on the priority list.

Well but the weird thing is I have a lot of pictures in there already from before I had the pixel, like from 2009 to now. So it's not like they've been indexing for 7 years.

You mean in Drive? Or in Picasa/Google Photos? They didn't start syncing the photos to drive as a proper "Google Photos" directory until the past year or two (but when they did, I am fairly sure it brought everything over) but they'd applied the photos to your Drive space (unless you let Google shrink them) before that if I'm recalling correctly. It's a little strange that they weren't just plopped over from their existing Drive folder but if anything this forum needs the ascii shruggie guy as because that's exactly how they seem to just straight up playing calvinball sometimes.

If I moved up to a Pixel XL next year (and prob kicked down my 6p to my moms who is finally ready for a BIGPHONE) I'd probably have to get this case since it seems to be the closest to those sweet Adopted Nexus 6p cases. I don't see that Adopted is making Pixel cases yet though. the rest of the Google store cases look like crap and are either boring or with silly cartoons and poo poo.

I don't see that Adopted is making Pixel cases yet though. I was hoping Google would clear out those cases for the 5x, but they just completely dropped them when the Pixels were added to the store. All the 'official genuine' ones on eBay look like crappy fakes and the feedback items for them often talk about the fabric peeling off/discoloring etc.
