    Pixel order magically cancelled today.

    Anybody else run into this? I ordered in the first 5 minutes when they first opened the store. Should have shipped 21-24. Today order was cancelled for no reason. I called Google and they claim there was a screw up at their end and will still get it from the some reserved stock and also don't...

    Help Weather Widget? (Resolved)

    Some online posts show a weather widget where the date appears on the home screen; however, mine shows the date and I can't figure out how to change it to weather. I'd much prefer the weather there than the date. Anyone know how to tweak that? Thanks!

    Help HD Voice, VoLTE, WiFi Calling?

    Got my XL today and I'm loving it so far. I was able to activate WiFi Calling after a second attempt. The first time it said it didn't go through and to try again. WiFi Calling is now working just fine. I noticed that my calls aren't HD on cellular or WiFi, and I tested it with my brother...

    Help Purchased Pixel from Google, but it has Verizon bloatware and no WifI hotspot on the phone

    I purchased a Pixel XL for myself and a Pixel for my wife, both directly from the Google Store online. Our carrier is Verizon. Our phones arrived today and we inserted our SIM cards and transferred data from our old phones (in my case, a Moto X Pure Edition, her old phone an S5). I did the...

    RhinoShield CrashGuard, anyone?

    Has anyone here owned a RhinoShield CrashGuard? I'm looking for a minimalist case but I also want to be proactive and getting something that will protect my phone. Thoughts?

    Answering calls

    Is there an easy way to answer calls? Nothing shows on my screen when it rings. I have to swipe from the top just to get an answer button, then swipe again when the phone screen opens.

    Nano Sim Difference

    So I just swapped SIM cards with my Moto Z Play Droid and while they are both Nano sim, the contacts are different. The Moto Z had a sim like in this picture: http://thumbs1.ebaystatic.com/images/g/FQAAAOSwZ1BXdSXj/s-l225.jpg The Pixel's sim had 2 extra divisions on it in the middle area...

    Reviews are in!

    I tend to favor The Verge for a reliable opinion. Here are two articles I found on theverge.com Google Pixel Review: Android as it should be http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/18/13304090/google-pixel-phone-review-pixel-xl and also this one, which I believe is a relevant opinion in the industry...

    No Replacement for Lost Device :(

    I just realized/learned that whether through Project Fi or the Google Store, device protection does not cover device loss. Verizon's Total Mobile Protection will replace it if lost (albeit they have a higher deductible). Now I'm like :( I've never lost a phone, so I've never needed to worry...

    Root Can we root and rom?

    Does anyone know the availability of root with the pixels? I've read only Verizon will lock the bootloader so does that mean the models bought directly from Google will be customizable?

    Verizon Pixels locked down and updated by them

    At one time, the Google Nexus phones were the ideal models to get in the U.S.A. as they came with unlocked bootloaders, no bloatware and updates direct from Google. Well, all that has changed if you get your Pixel model from Verizon or Best Buy.... "This means that Google will still push...

    Anyone grab the Daydream VR?

    I selected the free Daydream headset when I ordered my Pixel XL. Just got this notice today. Thanks for being one of the first to order Pixel, a phone by Google. Because you made your purchase during the pre-order period, you're eligible to receive the new Daydream View virtual reality headset...

    Verizon Wireless can you buy full price without upgrading?

    Verizon wireless site currently shows the option to buy the phone at retail full price... But then asks you to choose which device you're upgrading. This was never like this was before... Do I have to call to order an XL outright?

    Anyone biting?

    I think I'm going to hold off till holidays sales roll around. 5x prices dropped within 3 months of release. Great they are getting 4GB of RAM and an AMOLED display. Disappointed the Really Blue does not come in 128GB variant. Though not sure if I need the space for the extra $100...
