Is there a good way to block calls from unknown or private numbers when they come in via wifi? Normal call blocker apps don't work for wifi calls.

Well, my Pixel 1 bricked during the 8.1 update, and the warranty expired 1.5 months ago. I'm really unsatisfied with their response to the whole situation so I'm probably moving onto a different phone and service.

It's pretty unlikely the phone is bricked from a software update. Stock Google phones are super resilient when it comes to loving them up via software. Have you tried different software recovery options like reflashing?

The repair shop said the motherboard was dead, so my Pixel is definitely out of commission. Maybe I'm using bad USB C chargers? Is that a thing?

There are knockoff cords that can cause issues. Somebody posted a spreadsheet of known good ones somewhere, I think.

If you bought it with a credit card, double check that you don't automatically have an extra year of warranty coverage as one of your credit card perks. Had a Nexus 5x that died at roughly 13 months, got 100% of the purchase price back thanks to a credit card perk.

Anyone else using a Google Voice number on Hangouts while on a data only sim? Recently noticed that inbound calls haven't exactly been reliable and I will see voicemail/missed call notifications, but Hangouts won't ring or show any notification of an incoming call. Zero issues on outbound calls. The few occasions I get calls usually mean it's something important, so this is a pretty annoying problem. e: update on this issue, I found a resolution... I played around with Hangouts a whole bunch (cleared data/cache, signed out etc) and what ended up working was getting on hangouts.google.com and messing with the settings. So far have found my Pixel 2 ringing consistently with the desktop version set to not ring, while the app on the phone is set to ring. air- fucked around with this message at 15:04 on Feb 14, 2018 |

I have traveled in Europe (continental and Iceland), Mexico, and Canada with Fi. I have never had any issues with data. There are some minor fees for calling but that's to be expected.

Cool. Thanks all. I'm not too worried since Fi has always been a seamless experience for me when I travel. I'll probably never leave it now that I'm traveling internationally more and they have the billing cap in place.

I will get a full refund on my Pixel 1.  I've moved onto Huawei Mate 10 Pro using T-Mobile, and I'm loving it so far. I've since been getting ads for $300 off Pixel 2 if I sign up for Verizon.

On my Moto x4, I use Hangouts as my SMS app. I changed the default notification sound but it's still playing the standard Hangots sound. How to fix?

Is there a way to start a Fi plan in Canada? Compared to the plans that exist here ($100/month), I'd rather figure out a way to get Fi here and pay the exchange rate instead.

This guy did it but it seems involved since you have them ship the sim to a US address: http://canadiankilometers.boardingarea.com/2017/06/30/google-project-fi-canada-review/

Has anyone here used Google Fi on their iPhone using the workaround? https://ios.gadgethacks.com/how-to/set-up-googles-project-fi-your-iphone-0174991/ My questions are: 1) will this work on any (recent) iPhone? 2) is the international coverage just as good? Google Fi has been great for me in Europe, but am thinking about switching back to an Apple phone. Probably the SE if anything as I don't want to spend a ton

I travel internationally about 3 times a year and normally just spend the $30 on a Three top up which comes with either unlimited or 6gigs of data (never was able to figure that out). Would getting a Fi sim be a better option? Getting the three top up here in the US is kinda a pain but I’ve gotten it done.

It's going to depend where you go since they have to have a deal with the providers there to handle your phone's SIM card from Fi. They list 170 countries right now: https://support.google.com/fi/answer/6157794?hl=en

My two older kids still have working 5x's, one with a broken yet still working screen. I'm holding out on the broken screen one so that they hopefully get a better phone from Fi rather than another 5x. Let me know what they send you.

LG is fixing the 5x for free now, but I went ahead and upgraded to an x4 and will have the 5x as a backup whenever they get it back to me.

I have a Nexus 5x with Fi. I've had no issues in Madrid or Barcelona with data and texting, but does anyone know why I would have no issues calling the US from Madrid but I would in Barcelona? For the latter I just got several very long beeps, which I've never heard before. I've tried several times.

I swear the battery life on my X4 has taken a huge hit since the March security patch. The battery used to last the whole weekend with light use, now it's down in the mid 40s by the end of the day.

I swear my Pixel 2XL battery went to poo poo right after the April update. Then it suddenly was fine right as I was looking up solutions... The only thing I did was reboot but I doubt that fixed whatever the problem was. So, possibly the update did some funky that needs to work itself out?
