So now i have to play my flac files in YouTube Music instead of Google Play Music. Problem is that the app doesn't play 8 out of 10 tracks, simply doesn't start. Is there a fix to that or a different (simple!!) player for music on the Pixel?

Edit: okay, the second phone restart fixed it. Now the whole playlist is playing!

Has anyone looked at the trade in values on Google's store recently? Some of them are just insanely bad now.

OG Pixel/XL is $25.01 CAD no matter what the size. Pixel 2 only goes for $0.01 CAD. That's right. A single cent. The Pixel 2 XL fairs slightly better at $5-$14.

Ridiculously good battery today on my pixel 6.

Off charger for about 10 hours now. 4.5 hours SoT with 50% battery remaining.

Well I thought the whole assistant calling someone randomly in your contacts bug wouldn't affect me, but it happened today! It called someone who I haven't had contact with for about 2 years and thankfully I caught it before it started to dial. Turned off the Google Assistant until Google fixes this bug, lol.

Does anyone else's phone keep setting itself to vibrate instead of making a noise for notifications?

Has anyone gone from the Samsung Galaxy S20+ to the Pixel 6 Pro? I'm due an upgrade in Feb/March and, after having the S7 Edge and S9+, I'd like to have a bit of a change instead of going for a 4th Samsung in a row. Is it a good upgrade?

My phone is due to be delivered tomorrow and after reading a lot of the comments on here and on Reddit I'm fairly nervous about it not being up to what my expectations are (I'm coming from a OnePlus 7 Pro). Does anyone know if Amazon charges a restocking fee on phone returns?

For the day is the problem. It's not per charge so the figure could be widely inaccurate. You have to rely on apps to measure the real SOT like accubattery.

If I go to bed at 11pm, put the phone on the charger. Wake up at 6AM, take the phone out of the charger the SoT reported there essentially is since last charged fully.

That's how I reported my SoT in this thread earlier.

I don't think Amazon has ever charged a restocking fee on literally anything. I've never encountered such a thing, that's for sure.

I am hopeful you'll like it though!

My order -- originally scheduled for mid to late January, was recently bumped up to late December, and now late November. I wonder if this could be attributed to a lot of people canceling their backordered phones.

I got tired of waiting and just side loaded the OTA. Saw plenty of people over on xda having the same issue with unlocked models not getting the OTA with Verizon service.

Any idea how Verizon's service would fuck with it?

I think I do remember getting the Pixel 3 and the same thing happened and had to wait till December for the update.

No idea. Historically, I haven't had any issues with unlocked Pixel devices on Verizon. I'm pretty sure I read locked Verizon models are getting the Verizon OTAs without issue.

This has to be he most temperamental fingerprint scanner I've ever used. This whole weekend I was lucky to get it to work 50% of the time.

Today it's been flawless.

Yeah my P6Pro that's connected to the Verizon network just refuses to update to the Nov 2021 update...
there was a Nov 2021 update for Pixel 6? I just checked and it said my phone is up to date...

also, does anyone else have this problem where you have a smart speaker in the room which is also a Google assistant, and you say "hey Google" but both the speaker and the phone are listening to you but you just want the speaker's attention?

My friend, who uses Xfinity Mobile (he got an unlocked phone), got the Nov 5th updates on the 2nd, so yeah, it's there.

As said by TMC above, it seems to be a common issue by users posting on XDA when using the unlocked phone with Verizon services.
ugh, that's so stupid. in fact this morning, my Verizon service just suddenly went out for whatever reason. I had to go onto airplane mode and then back just to get service back. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Anyone have random issues with app installs/updates randomly hanging? Pretty much have to restart the phone to finish the updates sometimes. Doesn't happen all the time. For example yesterday, tried installing Steam. It got to 96% and that's where it stayed until this morning when I restarted my phone.

Just got my Spigen Liquid Air case for the 6 pro.

Really like the look of it, and love how it feels in hand. The power-off button notch feeling different to volume is a nice touch too.
