The pixel 3 is definitely fancy, but I'm frustrated that my charging cable world is turned over again. Can I find usbc cables that have one USB end, for charging my phone off my PlayStation or chargers I already have? My last phone used that fast charging gimmick but it seemed to kill a couple devices I used them with, are those chargers off limits? I thought of all this poo poo two minutes after I left the drat mall

BIG HEADLINE posted:The Pixel 3 should come with a USB-C to USB-C cable as well as a USB-C to USB-A one. As for the USB-PD chargers, yeah - that's still a clusterfuck. Especially for a car charger. kitten smoothie posted:Grab some Amazon Basics or Monoprice cables with USB-A on one end and USB-C on the other. Awesome, thank you both! There's a C/C cable in here, along with a female A/male C adaptor, so along with the miscellaneous cables I've got lying around I can probably make this work by picking up a couple A/C cables for the random places in my house I end up sitting with my phone. They actually threw in a car charger because I bought a case and screen protector, so that might be ok. I'm probably most offended by the lack of an audio port but I guess that's the thing now (plus it came with a little adaptor, plus get some Bluetooth headphones already sheesh). I'll shelve the old fast chargers I have out of an abundance of caution. As for the 2.0s I've collected over the last few years, heck, now I have a couple ten foot dedicated PS4 controller wires. Maybe more than a couple. Inspector Hound fucked around with this message at 04:53 on Jan 6, 2019 |

Duckman2008 posted:I hear ya, but USB C is a change for all phones, so I would just mention it isn’t necessarily just the Pixel that is forcing it. I don't even care if it fast charges it, it's just that I've murdered the battery in at least one controller and one of those charging banks trying to fast charge them like an idiot so I didn't want to do the same thing to this phone, haha E oh, wireless fast charging--I've actually never messed with wireless charging, but I read a few minutes ago Google only lets the pixel fast charge wirelessly off of their proprietary charger mat..pad...cradle...thing Inspector Hound fucked around with this message at 05:09 on Jan 6, 2019 |

First, thank you for this thread. It's awesome to see a person truly dedicated to helping people to the point that they could be playing a video game or whatever, but they're here helping get everyone up and running. Second, my sim card is driving me nuts. It keeps shutting off semi-randomly, so I get wi-fi but my phone won't recognize mobile data. Popping the card out and back in and then restarting will get me going again 99% of the time. Level 2 customer service got me up and running the other night with that restart procedure and reprovisioning the card from their end (or not, that's the sort of thing a worse version of me used to say to customers when they just needed to restart a device but didn't believe it would work). Interestingly, I'm posting this after just blowing into the slot before replacing the SIM card, no restart. What's your instinct here: busted card, busted phone, or some kind of ethereal server side thing? Inspector Hound fucked around with this message at 12:36 on Apr 2, 2024 |
