Mine hasn't come in yet but I did discover this link recently which will let you check the status of Fi promotions. The status shows last updated Dec. 18 but I have hope it'll show up soon. Also saw a screen cap of the travel promo e-mail. Text: quote:1. Click the redemption link above to activate your travel credit.

Anyone else having fewer spam calls after using screening? I was getting about 2 a day when I switched, now I see maybe 2 a week.

The number of robo calls that have been ringing my phone has drastically decreased. I don't know if its due to the Google Screening functionality or what.

I am changing my Pixel XL for a iPhone Xr, can I just transfer my Pixel XL sim over to the Xr and set it up with my current phone number or will I need a new Google Fi SIM card?

I had different phones than you, but I was able to put the card in an iphone and get it to work. Make sure you install the Fi app and change the OS settings though, so that MMS works properly also, welcome to the club of dialing into voicemail like a caveman

Argghhhhh I'm so torn. My Pixel XL is showing a little bit of its age but is still a great device, and I'm trying to save up for a new tattoo AND a new part-gaming/part-professional PC, AND I've got a trip to Japan in like 2 weeks so fffffffffffffuck.  If I bought a new phone I'd have the Pixel XL as a backup, which I like the thought of, as well...

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:Yeah dammit, my pixel has a cracked front but still works great. Dunno if I should really pay $400 and a headphone jack for a slightly better screen but drat that's a good deal. Wait the Pixel 3 doesn't have a headphone jack? That's pretty annoying. My coworker, who has a 3XL, said it's definitely worth $400. But like... fffffffffuck!

Upgraded from my Nexus 5X to a Pixel 3. Awesome timing too, placed my order last night on Google's store because it was on sale there for 699. Saw this 50% off deal and was able to cancel that order in time to snag this one.

My wife and I are considering this upgrade but we're not really sure how much of an upgrade it is? we've got Mot g5 plusses, and how much better is a pixel 3?

redreader posted:My wife and I are considering this upgrade but we're not really sure how much of an upgrade it is? It's definitely gonna be a better experience due to the better CPU and faster RAM in the Pixel 3, but consider that the Moto G5 Plus is an excellent phone for its price and the Pixel 3 is usually overpriced compared to other phones with similar specs. The camera is going to be significantly better in the P3 too. If you take a ton of pictures with your phones and wanna look at them with a beautiful OLED screen, it might be worth the upgrade, but I'd argue that if you aren't currently having issues with your phones, you should hang onto the Motorolas until later this year. I went from a piece of poo poo Nexus 6P to a Pixel 3 and it was an amazing upgrade. That said, the Nexus 6P was also pretty hot stuff when it first came out and turned into a buggy, garbage phone within months. If your Motos aren't giving you grief, hang onto them. My Pixel 3 is already noticeably slower than it was when I first started using it and I'm running almost all stock apps with the exception of the Awful app, Pokemon Go, and Final Fantasy Record Keeper. Don't have any news, social media, etc. apps installed.

Think I should get another year out of my XL given my budget but will be marking this in my calendar for next year. Don't remember this happening last year so won't count on it though.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I really appreciate it. When you suggested we wait until later in the year.... What will happen then? New phones? Some new tech? Or just black Friday sales?

Ugh, I'm torn. The XL is sold out again in colors I actually want and the Pixel 3 has a smaller battery than my Pixel XL and I don't think I'd like less battery life. Why would they put such a tiny battery in there? e: whatever, I'm pulling the trigger. Chaotic Flame fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Apr 22, 2019 |

battery size is not directly related to battery life. i don't know how efficient the pixel 3 is on battery usage, but it's pretty silly to compare two totally different phones based on mAh alone

My phone trajectory has always involved a larger battery in my newer phone, so I had some biases. Looking forward to my pixel 3

Or just black Friday sales? Honestly, whenever something strikes your fancy. Since you're posting in the Fi thread I assume you have Fi service, so just be on the lookout for promotions through Fi or the Google Store. I'm sure they'll have some cool introductory promotion when the Pixel 3a or whatever it's called is released. I dunno what's important to you with a phone, but just consider what you like about your phone and, more importantly, what you don't like about it. Is it hard to see in direct sunlight/outdoors even with the brightness cranked? Can you get through at least a couple of days on a single charge with typical use? Are you okay with not having expandable storage? Do the pictures look okay when viewed on a computer or a tablet? Is there a headphone jack? Will it come with a ton of bloatware preinstalled? Does it have a fingerprint sensor and, if so, is it in a comfortable place for you? There's no shame in buying a sturdier phone if you're clumsy--that's exactly why they exist. A lot of people get caught up with having the newest whatever and are fine with spending $1,000+ annually on new phones but just find one that has features you enjoy and is in a price point that won't break the bank, imho. Bring back physical keyboards on phones. I've been using touch screens for over a decade now and still can't type on them. (I know this isn't the thread for that) Chaotic Flame posted:Yeah, I did some reading and that's the conclusion I came to. My phone trajectory has always involved a larger battery in my newer phone, so I had some biases. My Pixel 3 last at least 4 times longer on a full charge than my 6P did five months into owning each of them. The more efficient CPUs get, the better battery life we're gonna get since no one knows how to make better batteries. Enjoy your new phone!

How much of a jump is a pixel 3 over a 2 though? P3 has a better camera, but the rest doesn't seem almost $300 after trade in better to me.

I gave my Moto X4 to my dad (I did it Black Friday, and was buying him an X4, anyway; instead, he got my old one, I got the 3XL for $550). It's a substantial upgrade, and if you like big phones, use your phone a lot, and/or use your camera a lot, I would say it's well worth it. I probably wouldn't take $40 for the Moto X4, though. The camera is incredible. I'm the world's worst photographer, and it takes amazing pictures.

It was freaking huge from an original Pixel to a 3, but based on some other people I know who have done 2->3 it's really not even half as big of a change. If your upgrade reason includes battery life, take a serious look at simply having the now old battery replaced in your 2.

Not enough to even classify as a jump especially when considering the original price of your Pixel 2 and the $300 they'd give you for it. Wasn't the P2 camera software patched to be basically a P3 camera anyway?

Purchased a phone through Fi. It shipped via FedEx to my office, and I was given a tracking number. For some reason when it got to my local FedEx location it stated my delivery is delayed because of an "incorrect address". I double-checked that I had typed it in correctly when I made the order, and it's fine. I get stuff shipped from Amazon and other places here all the time. Next day, the FedEx tracking said "invalid recipient". I call FedEx with the tracking number but they can't help me correct or validate the address because I'm not the shipper. I contact Fi Support and explain the situation to them, surely it's just a mistake in the address and it's so close, can you call FedEx and get this corrected somehow? Fi Support escalate to their shipping team same day. The next day I get an email stating I received a refund for my purchase.  I uhh, I guess I'll buy the phone from somewhere else...

I don't see a google voice thread so I'll try here: Has anyone else noticed the GV web interface turning into slow, browser-lagging poo poo lately? It's happening on multiple PCs for me, so it's not just a one-device problem, here.

For people porting a number from a family plan on ATT to Fi, how was it? Painless? How long did the transfer take?
