spent a lot of time on CL yest...$1100 and one 4-hour round trip for my assistant later, my Pixel should be arriving any minute.

not sure if I should just cancel the one I pre-ordered or if there will still be an inflated secondary market for these things a month from now?

I d be more worried about the super slim bezel not protecting the screen in case of shock.

Still a gorgeous phone and less stupid than pixel "i put some glass on the back of the phone to be more likely to shatter something when i drop the phone non sense"

I work for a carrier. I need it for testing and diagnostic purposes.

3x Carrier Aggregation. Basically bonding together 3 separate LTE carrier into one giant channel.

I'm on AT&T, who I believe offers carrier aggregation, do I need to upgrade my plan to use 3xCA?

No. It's usage is transparent to the user. If it's available, and your phone supports it, you should be getting it automatically.

Ugh getting antsy as **** waiting for this Pixel order to do something. Bought it on 10/21 and it hasn't changed from "preordered." Anyone here buy from Google and can share what their timeline is/was like?

I have a Nexus 6p and the battery life has recently gotten worse. Is this because of the Nougat upgrade or just the phone being a year old? Any tips for how to get a new battery replacement for this?

Seems like it's a common issue with the Nougat upgrade. I personally don't have that problem, but it's all over the internet.

If true - unfortunately, a replacement battery won't solve your issue.

Save your pics and text messages and reset your phone. Then reevaluate your battery over a couple of weeks

+1 (well, backing up whatever you need // whatever is not backed up automatically anyway)

major upgrades are (unfortunately) a massive source of battery problems, oftentimes introducing wake lock problems. factory reset will often help.

and if you wanna change the battery you ll have to ask a pro(unless you are a wizard for that kind of stuff) and it might be a pain in the ass to find someone:
Nexus 6P fixability score from ifixit: 2/10 alot of glue and alot of part to remove starting from the screen to get to the battery.

I just got a Moto Z Force droid, anyone else have one? In the past I've tried to avoid the larger phones, but I got a good deal and also got the JBL speaker attachment that seems to work pretty good. I'm not a huge phone guy, but this seems like something I should learn a little about because it seems pretty capable.

Thinnest phone evAr? Enjoy, those things are sweet as hell looking. Isn't Motorola owned by Google? I'm guessing your updates come pretty damn quickly, too.

Anyone who want a small phone xiaomi is delivering another borderless phone. This time 5.5 inches screen in a body of 4.7 inches phone.
After a 6.4 inches screen in the equivalent of a iPhone 7+ body.

If my battery drops to zero when it reaches 70-80% is it a problem with the battery and I can just buy a new one?

Note 4 batteries can be had cheaply. You can buy an external charger for them as well and always have a charged battery to pop in. I miss my note 4.

Looks like the battery is bulging. It pushes the screen up when I press it in tight. Thanks for the link.

Awesome. I'll grab a couple when I see a Verizon store. I assume they sell them there.

Im not sure if they have them there but if they do they won't be cheap. EBay has the batteries for $12 and Amazon has the chargers for $8.

If we're talking $20-30 I don't really care. It's hard to order online since I only get to my mailbox a few times a year.
