I bought a new Pixel C. Got it yesterday. Has to get returned. :(

So I got the new tablet last night. Set it up without issue. It is very very fast. I let it charge overnight. I used it a bit early this morning. Brought it to work with me. Went to hit the power button and nothing. I hold it down, nothing. I plug it in, nothing. I contact google support and they said I need to send it in and they would refund me. And I can just buy a new one.
Not sure I want to. This is a horrid experience. I am really still wondering if an android tab is viable anymore. Besides the google tab, I don't see any other tablet even close to as good. But unsure about risking the purchase of another Pixel. I am rather depressed this morning.

While I completely understand your hesitation on following up with another Pixel C, especially after your horrible first impression, I would like to say I got one a while ago and have it running on the latest Android N preview and I love it. Only real issue I have is occasionally my wifi signal in my apartment will either drop or refuse to connect entirely, and that could just be attributed to my wifi being ****ty. It works fine with my phone hotspot.
It's completely up to you though. I'm quite happy with my Pixel C. Perfect size for what I need, and does most anything I need to do when I'm not at my computer. Awesome for any form of media consumption, better form factor than my computer or phone and the resolution is perfectly vivid. Check out the reddit thread for "earthporn", it's just collections of ultra hi-res photos of beautiful landscapes and it really helps show off what the screen of the Pixel C is capable of.
Sorry about your bad experience, but I don't think (bar some slight hiccups) that that level of disappointment is the norm for the rest of the Pixel C people. Good luck, man.

I got mine 2 days ago and the only issue I found is if you input pressure on part of the screen it clicks. Do you get that ?

could be difficult to find it but requires you to press on the front and back of the area to get it to click, sounds like aluminum can or bag once it clicks.

So you get a DOA device and suddenly you're buying something else?
Sorry for jumping in on that, but DOA (dead on arrival) devices happen all the time from almost all manufacturers (not just tablets, I bought a new car which had a broken gearbox from the factory) I get why you're bummed, but if you'd had 3 in a row I would understand. Give it a fair chance at least...

I use mine literally every day since Christmas and haven't had a single issue with it.

Nope. No issues for me other than the ones that can be directly attributed to being on the Android N preview build.

The Nexus 6P - Dr Jekyll or Mr Hyde?

My Note 3 is dying and I'm looking around for my next daily driver. I've got kids so money and time mean I've got to get the best stock phone I can without rooting, and get it right first time.
I'm really interested in the 6P, but watching YouTube vids it seems to be two-faced: it's perfect or a mess; so which is it?
1) Does bluetooth work reliably or still have regular disconnects 6+ months after launch? (My Note 3 was rock-steady.)
2) Does Gmail arrive promptly, or after 20minutes-several hours? (Important for me.)
3) Is the headphone jack as dodgy as it looks in the vids? If it's not registering connection brand new, what's it going to be like after a year, or eighteen months? (I can't afford less than a 2 year cycle for phones.)
4) Is the phone 'buttery-smooth' or regularly prone to pauses and lags during lighter use? (Depending on the reviewer, it varied.)
5) Are my games going to throttle/stutter - rendering the money spent on a 'gaming' phone wasted?
6) Is there anything else I should know about?
Any help and accurate information greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
One confused Fizzig.

I used it about two weeks. I never had a problem while I was on stock. I'm somewhat of a flashaholic.. So I'm on a custom ROM now that has some minor bugs.
If you're going to stay on stock though, phone is buttery smooth throughout.

I use bluetooth daily(ear buds, radio at work, and AVR at home) and have not had any problems, but that's for streaming music, haven't tried for calls yet.
Also no problem with the headphone jack.

Of the 6 problems you are asking about I have NO ISSUES with any of those things.
My current problems are:
Random WiFi drops, (no biggie) I am sure this will go away.
Dropping LTE/data issue, better after flashing radio.
All in all I love the phone. Unless you are considering Apple, this is the best Android phone of its size.

Hello, gonna try to answer some of your questions from personal expirience
1. Not using it daily, but when i do(for gamepad) or streaming music in car it works without any stutters or problems for me.
2. Again, i dont depend on email notifications arriving same second, so i never really looked into it, but it doesnt seem late for me.
3. Its nor better nor worse than any other jack, it just works and havent had any problems with it.
4. Thats where the phone shines the brightest, by far smoothest and fastest phone i have ever used, probably due to lightweight pure android.
5. I had encountered a little lag only in 1 game. Asphalt 8, i think its one the most power demanding games out there, and it wasnt like a big lag, sometimes when playing for extended period of time, i noticed the game would become not as smooth for like 10seconds, like a little bit less fps, and after that good again. Probably due to cpu thermal throtling, but as i said, was barely noticable and perfectly playable.
6. I dunno, for me its a very good phone, probably best so far, sometimes i wish it had a better battery life, but its still more than okey, will get you through the day even after heavy usage, just 3450mah sounds so much that my expectations were probably too high.
Hope i helped you

I returned my 6P after owning it for 3 months and having 3 replacements (all of which had many, many issues).
The speaker audio is good, bluetooth is the most unreliable of any Android phone I have ever used. The battery life is not as good as people say and is so intermittent. The speed of the phone is good, not excellent however. It starts of super fast when you turn the phone on, but give it 12 hours or so and it becomes stuttery and a mess sometimes. Games are unplayable about 30 mins of gameplay due to the throttling.
The headphone jack is ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. One of my phones had one that properly secured the headphones in places, the others were so loose, a slight jolt would disconnect the audio, even putting it into my pocket would disconnect the audio. Plus on all of my phones, there was a static sound at below 50% volume, which is so apparent. If you like your audio, avoid this phone like the plague, trust me. I have never had more issues with a phone's headphone jack than with the 6P.
That being said, I do not hate the phone, so don't think I am being biased, because I'm not. I gave this phone so many chances and it always fell short of what I would expect to be acceptable. Google's excuse for my issues was that I was 'unlucky', 4 phones in a row. Sure.

And that remains my issue with the 6P. People say they have no, or minimal problems, and other's reports are like the above. Of the phones that are out at the moment, the 6P suits my needs the most. I'm just not sure that I'm willing to play the lottery to find a reliable unit. I'll have to hope my Note 3 will limp through the summer and autumn so I can see what late 2016 brings in terms of new releases. :fingers-crossed:

Probably the best way to go. The hassle of RMAing over and over is not worth it. I really wanted to like the phone..

That's probably your best bet to be honest. The 6P is pretty much old news at this point in the mobile world and the new Nexus and other phones will be right around the corner and will be here sooner than you think.
And I'm not saying to always wait for something newer because you can do that forever. But I also went through three 6P's before I gave up. It just seems too risky to get involved in the rma game.
With that being said, the 6P is overall a good phone if you can get a good one. Good luck in your journey.

worth it?

OK considering getting a op6t later this week.
Overall is it good?
Currently I've a HTC u11 weird choice I know but the screen is mint.
With the lower res on the oneplus would you buy again after owning one?

I like the fact that it is dual SIM and works on Verizon.

OnePlus 7 is right around the corner. I'd wait for that if I were you.

I just got this phone and it's the best phones I've had. I've only had all Galaxies but even with Ron's on my galaxy this phone is soooooo buttery smooth and very fast. It's basically everything I'd try to get my Samsung to be. This is a great choice but the OnePlus 7 is coming out soon so it's up to you.

Okay, so, after going through many brands and various experiences these are my 2 cents on the 6T: :fingers-crossed:
Camera is very good, but there are better options if you're purely focusing on photography
The performance is absolutely magnificent. Dominates the charts.
The UI experience is one of the best. OxygenOS not only instigates a fully seamless and stock experience, it offers a wide range of personalization options and really helps the user experience.
It is a stable OS, updated consistently and unlikely to experience unprecedented hard resets and bootloops.
Connectivity is brilliant, apart from the Bluetooth. I have been having some trouble with the automatic connection to eg wireless headsets and the instance of remaining connected or switching between audio sources, also had some issues with connecting to other devices.
Screen is great, yet I feel they could've done better with the resolution, than just 1080p.
Other features like the notch and the fingerprint sensor are huge pluses and good conversation starters, as they not only make the device an actual beauty but are recent innovations.
The build quality is great. Sturdy, durable, slick.
Lack of a headphone jack is a bit asinine, but does not in anyway overweight the advantages. Would still like to see a jack on the upcoming 7.
Great price. Value for money.
The lack of a stereo speaker and poor placement not only makes it easier for one to cover it up accidentally but also makes for an okay audio experience, which is unsatisfactory by my standards.

I love my 6T, but would sell it in a minute and buy a 7, if the 7 brings back a notification LED.

I got the OP6T McLaren edition in January and it has been a fun device. I agree with everything others said above.
For lack of notification LED light, there are a few apps you can use that work very well. And for the lack of stereo speakers, there is a magisk module that turns the earpiece into a second speaker which works well. :good:

I bought one because it seemed like the best value locally. My wife bought at the same time one of those $1400 apple doo hicky things after playing with my phone for 37 minutes she made me return her fancy designed in California apple and buy her a one plus 6t.

Well I got it. Brilliant phone

Lol anything that has been removed during the span of 6 and 6T will not ever return. Led is going away in almost every smartphone coming out this year even Samsung removed it in the s10 and it's all to make more screen and OnePlus will follow that trend just like with the notch...... And they're definitely not bringing back headphone jack.... Both 7 and 7 pro are going to be using an optical in display demerit similar to the one used in the 6T... Maybe the pro will have something better since it's the pro though (ultrasonic?) Maybe but I don't think so.....

Exactly. Everyone says to root it an get more, but in reality, unless you use a lot of magsik moduels then there is no reason to. Only thing g I did was turn my TMobile variant into an international one.

I only use root to block ads but there are solutions for that these days. Root is also use full to get rid of gapps.

I switched mine to international. Rooted with magisk to block ads, enable dual speaker, also used swift installer to completely black out everything so I conserve battery. Viper 4 android. Installed TWRP as well. I agree though I was very impressed with everything stock. I've always had Samsung phones and this was everything I'd try to get my Samsung to be.

Pixel 3a first impressions

Tried to post this in the real life review section but it wouldn't let me.
So I had a 1, then a 2, and then a 1 again. I've had the 3a for a week now and although that's a very short time to have impressions, some things are that obvious. First, very often when I put the phine in my pocket and then take it out, the phone is unlocked and a bunch of things have happened. Thank god it hasn't called someone at an inappropriate time... Second, GA does not understand me anymore. Previously, it was nearly flawless. Third, I'm still stuck on Sprint. The previous phones, although also starting out on Sprint, learned very quickly that t-mobile is way better in my area. And I copied the old phone to the new with all settings and stuff, so the new one should know. Forced switching with Fi-switch doesn't help. And last, I don't see any improvement in speed over the 1. Both phones are plenty fine in this regard, with some stutter here and there, but I would expect the new one to be at least somewhat better. So there it is, not impressed at all...

Yeah, but the 1 was considered Google's flagship phone. I know it was 3 years ago and whatever components they used in that should have already made it to the budget category, but apparently not.
When Google planned this phone, I think there were a few things they considered and one was probably not to completely ruin their flagship line, it wasn't doing great already and even now I think the Pixel 3a is cannibalizing the Pixel 3 now, but also the Pixel 4 has to feel as a step-up so they ] cut corners in many places for the 3a.
My dissatisfaction after 2 months using :
1. The screen. Lately it's been very sunny and the screen is hard to make out on max brightness. It actually looks worse than some 4-5 year old phones, even if it's OLED.
2. The sound quality and Sound effects. The speakers on this phone just not doing it for me. Could be because the phone made of plastic or the speakers aren't well insulated and causes some vibration . The sound effects on this phone is like..this is the first phone I'm considering downloading new sound effects or make my own, because I just don't like them.
Other things, like the camera and the fingerprint reader and the software are great, but regardless what reviewers say, I can't escape the feel of it, of being a cheap phone and the screen and the sound quality only confirms it. Good thing I only paid $180 for it with a trade-in.

Just joined #teampixel today - my 3a (not 3a XL, as I originally planned) is currently charging. First off, the fingerprint sensor is faster than the S7 it will replace - a serious surprise. The data import (also from the S7) is fast as heck, too. Why the 3a (instead of the XL)? Amusingly, it has to do with TWRP - it's ready for the smaller of the two (just not for the XL yet). Other than that, I kept the same choices otherwise (including the color - a tasteful Just Black). good thing I'm giving myself a week to get used to it - I'm going to need it.

4 months later, I sold the 3a and got a 3. Overall it was a fine phone but it turned out I really needed a waterproof phone. Kinda wanted to get the 4 but decided to let it mature a bit first.
So, off to the 3 forum Good luck to y'all 3a'ers

I am looking to buy 3a and would like to know if proximity sensor issue (I assume that's what it was) described in original post is widespread. If so - was it ever fixed?

I never had any issues with proximity sensor or noticed any other issue. In contrary I was even surprised that the pixel 3a has some pretty nice features which are not even promoted, e.g. it supports RSAP connections to my car which is very difficult to find nowadays.

Can you explain? I still use original Moto X with JellyBean and not up to date on any Android version after that, so I may be missing something. How does it make sense for the phone to randomly answer calls while in the pocket? My current phone certainly doesn't do that.

Not every device has a pocket mode. It's as simple as that.
It's not like calls are automatically answered, it's just really an issue if you keep the screen facing your leg in the pocket.
However as I've stated it is possible to get a pocket mode if you root and use edxposed (there is probably a way to do it without edxposed and just root but I haven't really looked into it)

Anyone upgrading to pixel 4?

Just curious what people's thoughts were
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

I got one yesterday after the live event and put it in my cart then I realized I can't justify $946 for a phone that has a few better features than my GP2XL. I love my Pixel2xl and spending that much money for essentially a better camera, graphics, and processor (none of which are THAT important to me) doesn't make sense to me. So I cleared my cart and bought a new case for my GP2XL instead for $11 on Amazon. Like Pixel 3, the Pixel 4 just doesn't wow me enough to spend that kind of money. I am not a astrophotographer so that doesn't matter to me.

I will eventually but waiting for a better deal than just 100 off. I was disappointed by the value of trade ins but I'll probably hold onto my pixel 2 until the photo upload promo expires.
Things I'm looking forward to on the pixel 4.
1) snappier performance with hopefully better memory management
2) the faster Google Assistant with continued conversation like feature. I'm a heavy voice command user and cutting down on the amount of times I say the launch phrase will be welcomed.
3) wireless charging. I think it's time for me to get it back now that my family is all on wireless charging. The pads can be used for multiple devices now.
4) better display. I've gotten used to the pixel 2 display but always long for more when I look at Samsung or apple OLED displays.
5) soli seems a bit gimmicky but if it allows me to change songs in my car without having to touch it, then that will be huge for me. Easier than me having to buy a new car or a new head unit.
Things I worry about
1) that face id better be damn good. Smart Lock is starting to get wonky. My watch doesn't keep my phone unlocked at all times like it's supposed to. Keeps saying locked manually.
2) original photo upload. It's something I think won't miss until it's gone. Sharing albums with friends and not having it compressed takes the sting out of not having something like iMessage which doesn't compress photos. Now i have to figure out a different way to share the full quality pictures with them
3) battery life.... ALWAYS BATTERY LIFE!

Nope I bought 2 refurbished 2xls so I'm set for the Long haul. I despise glass backs.

I was going to order last night but I'm honestly just not that impressed with the specs. Think I'll keep my XL2 for another year and just save some money.

Yup

I couldn't bring myself to buy the Pixel 3 but I bought two pixel 4XL's yesterday. I debated hard about doing it because there really isn't anything wrong with my 2XL and it does everything I need it to do. I'm the person that upgrades every year and in the end I just couldn't go past two years without a new phone. I might kick myself later but what can you do....lol

Nope, no upgrade for me,i had it in my cart and cleared it the moment i realized it doesn't have a fingerprint scanner, I'm ready to upgrade but not to a phone without fingerprint scanner

I even had it ordered for a full day, but alas, today I cancelled it as it simply is too much for not good enough specs. I do believe in two days I'm going to order the one plus 7t. (Just my thoughts)

Yep. Do I need it? Nope! Am I looking forward to trying something sorta-kinda new....you betchya! I don't buy much stuff ever, but every 2 years, I treat myself to a new device :good:

I think i also keep my pixel for another year.its still a solid phone with good bat life and an awesome cam.
I just received a complete new pixel from Google cause of warranty issues .and this after almost 2 year's haha.
This time i will stay a bit on pie because 10 ****ed my phone up somehow before.

Yes, Pixel 4 XL. Way better camera, best display on the market, onboard AI no need for data connection, live transcribe, motion sense, fastest face unlock, faster CPU, 6GB RAM and afree chrome book. Let's be honest most of these features cannot be backported to the Pixel 2, maybe some camera tweaks. The transcribe required the new AI chip and service so unlikely. And my Pixel is starting to show it's age, likes to stutter a little now and again.
Many people moaned the Pixel 2 only had 4GB RAM, so there's a reason for them to upgrade.

Can't see why upgrade honestly, I only got the phone a year ago, and it's performing pretty well.
But pixel 5 will be a day one buy that's for sure.

Damn I'm glad I'm not the only one with a p2xl, thought I was slacking on my new tech. I really just love this phone! XD

Same boat as Badger50. I ordered one with delivery of next week. If it doesn't wow me, I'll return it and probably get the OP7T. If the 7T doesn't do it for me, then P2xl lives on.

Pre-ordered it immediately when the Google Store was refreshed. I thought about doing the trade-in and even ordered the box for it but I think I'll try my luck with Swappa instead. I'm sure I'll get more than Google's $143 offer with all the cases and accessories I have.

I'm still undecided on whether I'm going to get one or not. I'm still using my pixel 2XL, and it performs just as well as the day I bought it 2 years ago, no joke. I skipped the 3XL--no explanation necessary. I was thinking I might wait and see what the 4A looks like when that comes out, but I'll probably cave in and get the 4XL eventually. However, I'm not pre-ordering it or even thinking about actually buying it until I see that root is available for it. I pre-ordered the pixel 2XL and it royally sucked to go without root for the first few weeks.

Exactly what I was hoping with the P4 when the P3 sucked. What do I do when the P5 sucks next year. I'm starting to consider an iPhone.

1) that face id better be damn good. Smart Lock is starting to get wonky. My watch doesn't keep my phone unlocked at all times like it's supposed to. Keeps saying locked manually.
2) original photo upload. It's something I think won't miss until it's gone. Sharing albums with friends and not having it compressed takes the sting out of not having something like iMessage which doesn't compress photos. Now i have to figure out a different way to share the full quality pictures with them
3) battery life.... ALWAYS BATTERY LIFE!

1. It's looking very fast and even though right now it's able to unlock with eyes closed (not a big deal for me) I'm sure they're working on adding an eyes open option. It was in the leaks.
2. High quality is plenty for average people but One Drive is super affordable. 100GB for $20/year isn't a lot at all.
3. Really curious how good/bad it'll be. I used to get as much as 7-8 hours SOT my first 6-8 months with my Pixel 2 XL.

I'll wait until black Friday to see if there are any deals
