Pixel 3a got Android 12. I like to do a factory reset after a new version update. Will this mess up anything with my Google Authenticator app?

I don't know what this thing is, and I don't care. I'm just tired of seeing your stupid newbie av from 2011.
Is everyone thinking Pro or not? I pre-ordered the Pro because of the telephoto, haven't had a chance to check the exact differences (if anything new was revealed anyway) since I'm at work

Ha, 128gb Black Pro is up to $1799 on amazon.

I'm just gonna hold out hope that the Google Store comes back to life sometime with phones available, because I do not feel like screwing around with all the other vendors. Imagine ordering from Best Buy or affiliated sellers on Amazon in these days, could take weeks to be fulfilled

Having a dedicated telephoto lens is extremely badass and greatly adds to the user experience if you take a lot of photos with your phone.

Really curious to see what super res zoom can use with that higher MP and larger sensor. 4x as a starting point will probably make 10x look REALLY good.

Gonna guess it Pixel bins at native optical range or in low light but shifts over to native pixel output and cropping as you zoom in.

T-Mobile is giving me $450 for a Pixel 5, half as one time credit half as 24 month bill credit, so guess I'm preordering through them

Have you succeeded in doing so? I get to the trade in screen and get an error about page loading. The text, before it refreshes, is correct - 450$ off with trade in. (or up to 900 if you pay for magenta max [no thanks]). Haven't been able to get any sort of order in tho.

Yeah, went through without much issue. It did give me an error when I first tried to a trade in when you can first click that (on the store page maybe?), but I just ignored it and there's another spot during check out that you can pick a line to upgrade and that worked first time.

128gb stormy black pro secured from the Google store! What finally worked is if you get to the page with the confirm purchase button, just keep hitting it if it pops up the error message. It eventually went through and didn't charge me $50k in duplicate orders.

Had a Pixel 6 in my cart since this started and kept getting the errors too. Now it told me it's sold out and removed from my cart. Ouch. I guess I'll wait until it's available again.

Edit: I was able to grab the seafoam 128gb one on the Google Store.

Huh, no luck here, no matter how I try and get through to it. It brings up the line selector page and crashes there. Whether I go through the upgrade route on account page or through the store. Just have to keep trying I guess.

Oh no. Android 12 went back to that weird clock on the lockscreen that looks like:

02
18

(Instead of, you know, 2:18am/pm. At least for US users.)

I hate that so much. I hope there's a way to change it.

Your codes will not survive the reset and you will be locked out of all your accounts. Make sure to back them up or disable 2fa before resetting your phone.

Bash -> To the Cop
The Confirm purchase page finally loaded from my cart instead of an error, but then actually hitting confirm purchase just returned error after error.

Went back to the Fi store in the app and that miraculously worked, ordered a Black Pro 128gb, got an email. Hope my bank doesn't get spammed with multiple charges from those attempts though.

Anyone know how to trade in a phone to Google after the fact from buying a new one? Had it set up on the store cart, but you can't do it while buying in the Fi app, just tells you to go to the store.

Never got a confirmation email, but they did do some sort of hold for the full amount on my card and just now I got an email saying my order was canceled (order made via the German Google Store).

And now it's vacillating between sold out and having the "limit reached" for Stormy Black 128GB.


EDIT: and just as I posted this, I tried again and it went through no problems. Fingers crossed it sticks this time.

I managed to finally get through on the Google Store with a Pro 256gb in white. Delivery date is Nov 16-17.

I was going to cancel my Best Buy order, but maybe I'll wait 24 hours. All these other people getting cancellation emails from Google make my nervous.

If they're pushing them out that far, I might as well not even try. I'll be away the whole week of Thanksgiving.

I'm unhappy about the android 12 look and feel but I'm way too lazy to go back to 11. Looking forward to using my phone less and/or growing to dislike using it.
