[quote="“Blue Train”" post="“473951105”"] There’s no reason to buy a 400 dollar phone. Buy a two hundred dollar moto g or a pixel [/quote] Well if you want to be in Fi and not pay flagship prices and also don't want a 1.5 year old phone you have no other options

Data is a rare precious metal here in America. You have to pay ridiculous amounts of money if you want to stream more than 1 hour of HD video on your device or upload a bunch of hi-res images to the cloud. I pay $60 a month for my "unlimited" Cricket plan, but it's capped at 8mbps and after 22GB (which I've never surpassed) in a month it gets real slow. I don't know what TV is like over there, but people routinely give cable monopolies 200+ dollars a month to have advertisements, slow internet, and The Walking Dead delivered into their homes. For that exorbitant amount we are rewarded with terrible customer service, hidden fees, clueless service techs and random outages.

I personally use total wireless, but yes American cellular plans are hosed and Canada is worse. Those are both mvnos which makes them cheaper than regular plans as well

And I can top it off again for 5 bucks. 1GB of data, plus unlimited calling and texting. I'm paying $45 on Cricket for 8GB of data, plus unlimited calling and texting. I feel like Project Fi leads to higher data usage. There were people who complained that they were using more data after switching to Fi in the past. I was struggling to keep my usage under 3GB per month (installing apps with data caps so I didn't blow through money). After switching to an 8GB plan and not worrying about data usage at all, I'm going to hit about 2.5GB this month. Which reminds me: it's real easy to have an app runaway and use up a whole bunch of data and then getting charged a bunch of money for it. I once lost WiFi whole watching YouTube and racked up $5-10 on data in a single day. Had an app misbehave while driving (don't know if it was Google Play Music or Maps) and eat up a few hundred MBs whole I wasn't using the phone at all. Paying per MB of data on Fi made me super paranoid.

The E: Phone related, the Huawei Mate 9 continues to be my favorite phone ever. Don't buy a One Plus anything, buy this. It's got a huge screen while being the same size as many 5.5in phones, gets 10 hours of screen-on-time, and takes good pictures.

Have any pixel owners had issues where Android System is above and beyond the biggest battery use and battery life is cut short dramatically as a result? Sometimes it will be Android System and a mixture of Android os and Google Play Services. It doesn't seem to happen every day and I'm having trouble pinpointing what might be causing it. About to go to support with it but thought I'd poke in here and ask first. I'm on a 120GB pixel running 7.1.2

Someone might correct me, but I think that can be caused by the phone trying repeatedly to connect to a spotty cell connection. If you're spending a lot of time in buildings, or underground, or in rural areas, you can turn off the cell signal while you're not using it to save some battery.

Yeah, one of the issues with the way power is tracked is that a whole bunch of background app ills will be bundled under Android System. (It's probably Facebook)

No Facebook installed and it seems to happen when I'm at home on my wifi (the signal is strong). It frequently happens when the phone is idle as well Correction, I have Facebook messenger that I use very infrequently. I'll uninstall that and see how it goes.

About to go to support with it but thought I'd poke in here and ask first. Try disabling background data for part of a day and see if that helps, unless you need notifications at all times. If you tap on the battery graph it will give you a set of bars listing stuff like SOT, wake time, wifi and mobile signal. If you're dealing with a weak signal (i.e. you have sprint or you work in a place with lots of attenuating materials in the vicinity like concete, steel, or earth) you'll see big patches of red at the same time as steep drops in battery life. Basically the phone uses extra juice trying to clean up and reconnect to a weak cell signal, and poorly coded apps/facebook will just beat the hell out of your battery literally going  on the dying mobile signal instead of using some kind of reasonable time out loop.

The LG boot loop class action suit got dismissed and moved to arbitrationquote:The California Central District Court has passed an order to compel arbitration in this case, thus dismissing the class action lawsuit. LG had filed for a motion to compel arbitration, and based on the facts of the case, the Court saw it fit to grant the motion and dismiss the lawsuit without prejudice (an “open door” to file the case again later).

It's a pretty common item in end user agreements and warranties. With that in mind though my question would be why other similar lawsuits were not dismissed under such clauses, or why consumer protection doesn't kick in when a company misrepresents when a manufacturing defect exists and how widespread it actually is.
