Does anyone have Fi in NYC? I'm on contract with Sprint with a discount that has me paying $80 a month. I just got a Fi invite and I'm thinking of paying the ETF and making the jump but want to know if the coverage in NYC is good enough to make it worth doing.

Of course I switch to Fi right before starting a job that doesn't allow personal devices to connect to wifi.

Like, Sprint wouldn't even notice it as a rounding error few. I just switched from Sprint and requested and got an invite within two days. Had the phone two days later.

Fhqwhgads posted:This happens to me when I'm underground (like waiting for the subway) and it does cause whatever app I'm using to crash. I don't know why it does what it does, but it's usually when it's searching for a signal and eventually gives up. So when I'm going underground I just flip on airplane mode. It only ever happens once, though. Not constantly. I've definitely had it happen multiple times on the same train ride.

If I switch networks using Signal Spy, Fi will still choose the best network later, right?

Just chiming in to say that I had no issue getting a free replacement 6P after experiencing the dead-phone-at-20%+ battery thing even though I'm past warranty. I did get mine from Google directly though, so YMMV.

Johnny Truant posted:Do you mean your phone dying at approximately 20% battery? Cause poo poo, if I can get a replacement 6P out of warranty, tell me your secrets! Yep. I just used chat on the Fi page and told them it was dying consistently above 20% battery, I tried troubleshooting and nothing was working. She said it was a known issue and issued a replacement. However, I've seen stories of people who got the phone with someone other than Google (and/or not living in the US) having a much harder time getting it replaced for this issue, so who knows.

Johnny Truant posted:Was your replacement brand new? And how far out of your warranty were you? Interesting though, thanks for the tips! I bought my 6P second-hand from a homie but as far as I know she got it through Google, so I'm probably gonna give this a try later today. Worst they can do is say no! No, it's a refurb according to the page I put in the order but I've never had an issue with a refurbished device in the past. I'm actually not sure if they're still making new ones at this point. I'm 6 months past warranty.

Glass of Milk posted:Those of you that got a replacement phone out of warranty, did they charge you for the replacement before you sent back the old phone? Mine has a small dent by the volume control- will that negate the free replacement? They put a hold on your credit card but that's it.

I'm thinking I should probably jump on this before it's too late. I got my 6P replaced with another 6P out of warranty about two months ago. Does the replacement have its own warranty period or am I out of luck?

Looks like I'm getting my 6P replaced with a 128GB Pixel XL but it might only be because my original 6P replacement was still under warranty. Now the question becomes do I just let it ride or trade it in towards a Pixel 2 XL.

MonkeyFit posted:So on Friday night, my Nexus 6P decided to eat a big old heaping bowl of Boot Loops. Come Saturday morning it had put itself into a permanent food coma. So I ordered a Pixel 2 XL and it had an estimated delivery date of Monday the 11th. They didn't even ship it until then and now it won't show up until Thursday. I called them up about it and there's nothing they're willing to do. Since that leaves me without a phone for far longer than anticipated, I'm considering getting a different phone and switching back to T-Mobile, and just returning the Pixel 2 after it arrives. I need a decent international plan, But I also need a working phone. I mean, it's two more days. You're not really going to find a better international plan than Fi. It works out the box across country lines. Just grab a burner for the next two days and enjoy your pixel when it shows up.

Just saw the data protection stuff. So, my bill is capped at $80 regardless of data usage? That seems like a pretty decent deal, though I'm not up on what other carriers are offering these days.

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.

oompah posted:I'm on Fi with a Nexus 6P (since January 2017), and I kind of get the sense that I am on borrowed time, based on other folks' stories of batteries dying and replacements unavailable/expensive. Mine seems to be fine, if buggy and slow, but I am considering jumping on the Moto x4 deal Google has right now. If you end up having issues with your 6P, you may still be able to get a free Pixel upgrade. There were known issues with the 6P and Google *was* just swapping them out if you called or chatted in about it. Not sure if they still are but it's worth a shot.

Actually, could I grab it and change the color later as long as it's the same model? There are a few pink 128 XLs left.

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 |

Lutha Mahtin posted: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 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. Looking forward to my pixel 3

FedEx is the worst. Pixel 3 is supposed to arrive today so I work from home since I have to sign for it. I get an email saying I wasn't here and they couldn't deliver this morning. There's no tag, no note or anything and no one rang my apartment. I've been here all morning. I didn't even see a truck come by my street.

At least USPS attempts to get your package to you where I live. I've never had a good FedEx experience.
