Tell us more about nightshots. Is the camera better now on the production unit?
Don't show night shots! Between that and the shipping and communications fiasco, Andy Rubin is already in hiding.
I've never had a phone that was good at taking night shots. I'm coming from the LG G6 and the night shots suck just as much as any other phone. Don't see what the big deal is.
Quick question. Can you check the display settings and see if there is a blue light filter? Or night light whichever they call it? Thanks!

The phone ships with stock Android 7.1.1
If you would look at the features within Android you'd know it would have that feature... Or you could google it.

Just an FYI, it appears there is no blue light filter on this phone. Someone who has the phone looked for it in the settings and it’s not there
Does anyone else have the ability to manually check for OTA updates? The feature seems to be missing..
Got mine today. All I can say is WOW!
As a die hard Nexus fan for years, Pixel didn't cut it for me. Essential feels like Nexus is back. Amazing phone.
Yeah, I am really enjoying this phone...the only things I wish it had were the fingerprint gestures and the night mode. Those are the only things I miss from my Pixel XL. Anyone know if the apk's for those are floating around? Would be nice to install like the Google HDR camera app which seemed to improve the camera a bit.
You can search Google for the camera app. It's also floating around the apps section under the essential phone forum

There's still no timeline and it appears the X will be getting 4.4 weeks before the Droid family.
So we're supposed to celebrate because MotoGoogle hasn't declared two-month-old devices obsolete? Gee, expectations are really getting low around here.

Pretty much my thoughts too. I pretty much knew right when I saw the Nexus 5 that Moto X and droids would be about a month or so behind in the update cycle.
What I'm actually excited to see is if 4.4 actually gives Verizon phones the ability to use Google Wallet or whatever payment system/NFC trickery

The Google/Verizon plans for 2014 are probably LTE tablets. Maybe- just maybe- we'll see a Google phone that is VoLTE-only, but I find it hard to believe that Verizon and Google would willingly partner on that. It doesn't seem like Verizon's style.

That's what those of us with Photons on GB thought too. Motorola's story was they would get JB...right up until the day they said they never would.

For me it's all about photosphere. It's a really cool feature.
I sold my regular Moto G to get a 4g LTE version...
Didn't notice the gyroscope before, but after reading this thread, tested the camera and looks like the gyroscope is there...
Is Moto G 4G already available in US? I cannot find it for example on BestBuy website, why?

That works on my Nexus 4, but I really don't find it useful. It's like 360 degree panorama (crappy one...)
Oh well, that's what I think of it. If you find it useful, then have fun with it
Guess this explains why the LTE comes with Spotlight Player installed as a system app :cyclops:

The launch price is £149, but in the UK, it's being quoted as £10 more for £159. Considering you can now get the moto g for £100 quite easily (I got it for £78 with vouchers etc), its still a fantastic deal, so don't feel left out . As ever, you get what you pay for.

My friend asked me for an entry level android phone recommendation; I think I am going to tell him to grab this 4g one. Now with the gyroscope, very cool. High end features in a cheap device. Seems like a solid android device. I have an N5 myself, which I really like, but this phone seems pretty good. You guys like it?

As we all getting the devices today in UK thought id make a thread for us .
First question i wanted to ask was in some video on youtube ive seen yahoo on apps edge cant seem to find it in uk model only cnn. Looked in galaxy store as well.
Got mine today.
Checked and cannot see Yahoo on apps edge
Was so excited about mine being delivered by o2 via ukmail. But it would appear they wouldn't leave it in my safe place opposite the front door (even though the delivery guy could have closed the padlock) so I've been forced to reschedule it even though the same thing is going to happen tomorrow. So so annoying!!
Im personally coming from the 6p which was a much bigger phone. I am liking the s7 edge only thing is getting use to picking it up from my desk too slippy will have to put a case on it and hopefully root soon .
I'm still waiting for mine to come, but I was wondering if the Yahoo app would be on it, is there something in its place or is it just missing all together

Over the years I've noticed that just prior to a release of a Preview or incremental numeric progression, Google's apps undergo a flurry of updates. Seems like there's been a ton of updates to Google apps over the last week or so. Just speculating. Wanted to point it out. I think we're going to see one or the other on the first March Monday or Wednesday. The first P Preview was released on March 7 (a Wednesday) last year.
You definitely have a point, all of a sudden almost all Google apps are getting updates. Let's see what we have in store for us.
Cheers
March is very likely. The last 3 previews have been released in March.

What are we thinking guys? Are the developers going to support our skip this device? I hope work the low cost we can lure some of the devs from higher priced flagships but with the lower specs will they take the device seriously? Let me know what you think.

Of course it will. That's kind of a silly question. The x4 is getting support, and this phone already has far more appeal.
Usually the more popular budget style phones get a lot of dev support. I would be surprised if this one doesnt.

I tend to agree with you. It really brings back shades of the Nexus 5 with this price point. Also, VZW is not the sole carrier and BB along with others is selling it for basically $299 after credits / gift cards. The only 2 things that slightly bother me is the lack of waterproof and no wireless charging neither of which is a deal breaker. I'm curious what they look like so I'll head over to BB later. Now comes the question, will there be a Pixel 4a and what will that be like?
I was kinda bummed about wireless charging but I just put a wireless charging receiver on it from Amazon and it charges surprisingly fast.

I bit the bullet after your recommendation and bought one today. I always have 2 phones and two lines.. just because.

Went to Best Buy today, took one look and feel of the 3a and bought it in the parking lot.
Awesome brother, yeah I have not regretted buying my 3a. I had the Pixel 3 when it first came out and sold it for a used Galaxy S9 and a OnePlus6T which were both better than the Pixel 3. There isnt anything that I miss from my Pixel 3 to this Pixel 3a,,,all of the good features are here. Plus with the addition of a wireless charging receiver from Amazon for 9 bucks I am all good LOL.
