So I bought a Pixel 2 from Target and transferred my number over to Verizon. It just so happened that I was gifted a Pixel 2 today also! If I return the Pixel 2, does that cancel my service (and this, lose my number?)

LG V30 is also water resistant with a headphone jack. No idea if it still has the curse of LG on it though.

I'm in the process of factory resetting my Pixel 2 XL because I'm experiencing a mic/speakerphone mic issue similar to what's been posted about before, but it only happens with phone calls. If I use an audio recorder or talk on Skype, both the mic and speakerphone mic work fine. It only cuts out when it's with phone calls. Anyone deal with this specifically?

Merry Christmas phone nerds Did a reset after 8.1 oddities, because hell, it's Xmas and all that Really impressed how good the backup and restore is on a Pixel these days, and especially how many apps settings were preserved Of the 100 or so apps the half a dozen that didn't get done automatically, all had their own bespoke backup to a file, or mystery cloud service so were easy anyway Most didn't even need signing in again At this point the only annoying thing about the whole process is any mail accounts outside of Gmail, I do wish there was a good way of backing them up

It was their best nonfunctional piece of garbage that year. If you've got $600 to spend on something that won't outlast the warranty there's really no better option.

Try firing one off through Google Voice (or from Messages if you normally text through GV), occasionally there might be some routing issues but by occasionally I mean rare and short-lived. Afaik you can't block someone's SMS in a fashion that says they fail, either.

I had a problem like that once when a non-number character was accidentally added to the number. I think I was going to go in and expand it to a group message but backed out part of the way through, it I had edited the number.

Stupid question: I have an older nexus I basically only use to load movies onto for flights. Last time I loaded it I had to do *something* (I forget what) to put it into some sort of USB mode. Then I'd plug it into OSX via USB, and use the Android File Transfer tool to drag and drop stuff onto it. Does this ring a bell for anyone? Can't remember how to get to that menu. Edit: it popped up as I type that post. I choose to thank Blue Train. But is there a simple app to do this over Bluetooth? maskenfreiheit fucked around with this message at 16:51 on Dec 26, 2017 |

You could try to get SMB sharing to work though I never have been successful with Android and post-Lion OS X/macOS. You could use Droid NAS which works the other direction, makes your phone a location that the Mac can connect to. That has consistently worked for me but the speeds are... not great. Lastly, you have the solution that you've settled on and works the best (not that I've tried it since got an all USB-C Mac and had a USB-C Pixel, it might not work at all now) where you connect it to the computer and use AFT to move files. The step you were looking for should always pop up in a notification to change the USB mode and if it doesn't, it should be under connected devices in Settings (just search for USB).

Where the heck is Photoshop android - the version I had on my old phone which had a load of features from the desktop program? All I can find in play store now are a bunch of different 'easy use' photoshop apps from Adobe... All of which seem extremely limited. The version I'm talking about was a paid app. e: it was Photoshop Touch, found it in my purchase history. Apparently it's not compatible with 8.1  Does anyone know of anything with similar capabilities to the original app? These new Adobe offerings are shite

So now that target has extended their $250 gift card with a pixel 2, on top of the $300 credit with verizon, is there any reason I shouldn't go that route if I want to upgrade from my old Droid turbo? I would rather have an unlocked phone straight from Google, but effectively $550 off seems ridiculous to pass up.

Main things I think I'll miss are the expandable storage (I have a lot of music downloaded on my 128gb microsd because of Verizon's limited data) and the headphone jack. Also my car is really old and has no Bluetooth (only aux through aftermarket FM receiver) so will need another solution for that.

Snapseed is nothing like Photoshop, and is more comparable to a digital darkroom like Lightroom (except obviously not nearly as good).

Yeah the storage isn't a huge issue for me (only at 36GB on my turbo), so it seems like a no brainer. Wish there was a headphone jack, but honestly I rarely use headphones with my phone. It will be nice to have a fresh phone again. Does anyone have experience with the cloth cases from Google? I love the cloth case on my 2017 Nexus 7 and would definitely go that route again if they quality. I care more about extra grip than I do drop protection.

Yeah, gently caress Adobe for discontinuing Touch, it was probably my favourite app despite occasional jankiness. Although tbf all I need at the moment is something to allow me to add top and bottom borders to a panorama photo so I can fit more of it on Instagram

They make little bluetooth receivers that plug into your aux jack, this seems like one of the highest rated ones on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MSUWCZ0

Anyone having problems with the Pixel 2 cameras sometimes corrupting an image when you first open it to shoot a super quick picture? It's only happened once or twice in the month and a half I've owned it.

I was taking photos with my 1st gen Moto and it suddenly restarted. When it finished booting up, the previous 10mins of photos had disappeared. They aren't in Google Photos. I connected it to my PC and searched the DCIM folder and that chunk of photos is missing. Any thoughts, or am I SOL?
