google pixel

It hasn't even been officially unveiled yet... but that hasn't stopped one YouTuber from getting his hands on one and publishing an unboxing video for all of us to enjoy:

So I've seen a few posts on here which have a lot of similarities to what I've been going through for the last year. About a year ago I noticed a lot of bloatware in my phone. Apps that I can't get rid of that have permissions that are completely unnecessary. When I look deeper into my system...

I'm trying to publish an app in google play store and have this error: Exception Process: com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox:search, PID: 12192 java.util.NoSuchElementException: No value present at j$.util.Optional.get (Optional.java:148) at...

Typical Google, we suspect all details of phone will be leaked well before it comes out, but we are just now getting details. Obviously take these with a grain of salt, but here you go! https://9to5google.com/2020/03/10/pixel-4a-video-leak/ Snip of article content: "The 5.81-inch display is, as...

Giant surprise, but *MORE* specs were leaked for the Pixel 4's. Didn't realize there was anything left to leak, lol. https://phandroid.com/2019/10/03/pixel-4-pixel-4-full-specs-leaked-ahead-of-official-announcement/ Anyway, what do you all think about this offering from the former HTC team?

Google confirms a multiple camera setup on the Pixel 4! https://twitter.com/madebygoogle/status/1138876305158500353 Rumor is an optical 8x zoom, plus regular camera, possibly no ultra wide on back?? Hard telling. Thoughts?

Anyone noticed this? Under my phone app I used to have Favorites, Recent, Contacts, and the VM. Now that has disappeared seemingly overnight. Anyway to get it back?

It has been a long time since I have used a screen protector but since I paid for the phone thought I should get one. Anyone have any experience with tempered glass for the Pixel xl? I am presuming that tempered glass is the best protector now a days. Whats the best company that makes it for the xl?

I finally got my Pixel XL and have had it for a few days now. During phone calls the sound quality sounds a lot like a drive thru speaker. It more noticeable with some people and at higher volumes and certain pitches. I know people have made comments about speaker quality with listening to...

The entire distribution thing: "Verizon Exclusive" NOT... is SO badly handled too. Thoughts?

If Pixel phones have a sealed battery and it freezes how do you shut it down without being able to remove the battery? All smartphones start freezing after about 2 years and I don't want to have to buy a new phone if it freezes and I am not able to shut it down. I currently have an older model...

I've been using Motorola android phones for several years and really enjoy pulling my phone out of my pocket or simply waving my hand over the screen to see my notifications and the time without pressing buttons. I was really leery about giving up my Turbo 2, but the lure of removing bloatware...

hello all, wondering about shortcuts with the Nougat file browser. 1) is it possible to create a shortcut for the file browser itself? (rather than going settings > storage> explore). 2), specifically, I would like to create a shortcut for a particular folder on my home screen (say Music), can...

I'm open to all suggestions. I've got a case but that's it. Hit me!

FWIW, I received notice this morning for 7.1.1 update.

Hello. I have a question about unlocking the bootloader on a pixel phone. If i buy a pixel phone thats locked to a carrier and i unlock the bootloader, does that also free the phone from its locked carrier? I.e if the phone is locked to EE and the bootloader is unlocked will i be able to use...

Trying to decide on pixel. I like full picture caller id on Nexus 6P which i just broke. I've seen recent pictures and video of new dialer on 7.1 nougat but they all seem to show picture in just the circle which is very Apple-esque which i don't like. Is that the case or not when receiving a...

I have been trying to get wireless charging working on my new Google Pixel. It seems the following combo is a bust... Fone Salesman UniQi (receiver) - Thin Qi Wireless Charging Receiver for USB Type C phones such as Google Pixel, Pixel XL, Nexus 6P, 5X, HTC 10, LG G5, G5 SE, OnePlus 2, 3...

When using Gmail for Exchange....when I have a reply to my email, it doesn't show the reply message in the notification. It shows my original message and says "+1 New" at the bottom, rather than showing what the person's reply is. Very frustrating. Anyone else experiencing this? (Photo...

Hey guys, I have been on various forums and websites trying to figure out how to transfer music. It seems super simple, but my phone just won't show the music for some reason. I am on windows. 1. Plug in phone 2. Turned phone to "Transfer Files" 3. Open Pixel under file explorer 4. Transfer...

Hi, Is it possible to change the lock screen widget(s)? I am trying to make the clock smaller, and wanted to hopefully make some other modifications, but I can't find settings to do so anywhere...hopefully I'm just missing it. My Pixel is on Verizon, bought from Verizon. Thanks, Matt

Hi everyone -- new poster here. So I'm one of the crazy ones who jumped aboard the Verizon Pixel XL bandwagon. I know that's not the popular route due to the locked boot-loader, but I took advantage of the Black Friday sale and it was a good time to get a new phone. My first choice phone was...

Ok so my mother is in her her 70's has been looking at getting a Fitbit so because of that I am thinking about getting her a smartphone for Christmas. Anyone think the pixel would be good? My logic is that it should offer a simple and clean android experience with a very easy to read display and...

Hi I've just got a Pixel with 128GB storage and the phone is outright amazing. However, I find the screen size just a bit too small. For roughly the same price (contract deal) I could opt for the XL but would take the hit on storage and shift down to 32gb. My storage usage on my previous phone...

Just received my Pixel XL from Google. Would love to see some other folks home screen layouts! I need design inspiration! :) Thanks.
