Is there any info on how common the 6P battery issue is? I'm about to buy one (refurb; can't find it new anywhere) since it remains the best choice in the 300~400€ range and I'd like to know what the odds are.

He died for your sins...
Anyone ever been prompted by Google Play Services that "Account Action Required"? Then when you tap it, it says there's been a change to my Google Account?

Because, there hasn't been - I'm 2 factored, haven't changed my password recently, and no suspicious activity on my Google Account ( going through the checklist at accounts.google.com ).

So I'm skeptical as gently caress that this is somehow a legitimate pop-up to have on my phone and it will not go away.

Not rooted ( Blackberry lol ), no changes to my Google Account or my phone ( edit: no sketchy or custom apps either - I play it very safe ). I think Google Play Services may have updated recently, but I can't confirm because when I try to go to the Play Store it prompts me with the same login poo poo.

I'm probably way too :tinfoil: but stuff like this out of the blue makes the :siren: go off.

Yes, it happened to me about an hour ago. Chrome got logged out, I relogged and changed the password. No suspicious activity, but all app permissions disappeared.

Both my personal account and work account just prompted me to sign in again with that notification.

It also happened on my girlfriend's iPhone, for what it's worth. Something must have been updated.

I do, and just tried signing in and after 3 attempts with the correct password and 2fa it just throws me back to "you need to sign in again" . It doesn't alert me to wrong password or code just after 10 seconds of "checking info" it brings me back to square 1. :confused:

Edit: I closed the pop up and now it doesn't prompt anymore. So I guess it accepted me signing in again but poo poo the bed afterwards and wouldn't close out.

Still pretty :tinfoil: about this

I had some weird issue like this as well. It wouldn't send a code to my phone via text but it did my secondary phone no problem but I learned that after like 10-15 minutes of fiddling with the poo poo.

Let me tell you of the world I used to know
Got my 6P and it's lovely. Not a refurb as I had assumed, turns out, just very gently used. I let Cardboard run for a while and the phone eventually shut down at 2 or 3%, so looks like I'm in the clear!

They give you 10 one-time use codes for just this very situation. Also use Authenticator Plus or Authy so you can just restore your 2FA to your (new) device.

I also got this. I wonder if Samsung paid to ask people who owned non-Samsung phones to figure out how many people willingly decided to not buy Samsung phones.

Did anyone answer no and get followup questions?

What is a good case and screen protector for the Pixel XL? Don't need industrial protection or anything, just a slim case to protect from the odd bump or drop and raise it up slightly so that camera doesn't get scratched.

I'm using an OG Nexus 6, and mines been like that for about two weeks now, even went and redid all the settings, in case I clicked on something when clearing a card, but no dice. I do still get the weather card tho...

Samsung launched 31 new smartphones in 2016. The amazing thing is that this is actually down from 56 new handsets in 2015. Can someone explain the rationale for that number of devices?
