Had anyone received their headphones yet?

Claim was validated on the 14th, no word since. I see some people on Reddit and xda have started receiving theirs

There's no way I'd get anywhere near 15 hours, but I'm just below 50% with almost 6 hours screen time. No battery saving measures, bluetooth on with watch connected, only dark mode at sunset etc.

Looking promising that I could use this really heavily for a day and still make it through without issues.

Received this case today. It's nice and grippy, wireless charging works.

Ended up getting easily over 10 hours screen on time. Very impressed, considering I didn't use any kind of battery saving measures, apart from the standard power save when under 10%.

Not typical usage at the moment, as I'm now in the house on WiFi all day, still impressed though.

Purchased my Pixel 5 before October 18th and am looking to claim the Bose headphones.

It states to wait 14 days from the order date before starting the claim. Anyone else do this? Could just be a UK issue as I am over there.

Yeah, you have to wait 14 days, but that's from the date you placed your order. A lot of people here ordered on September 30th, so could claim the headphones straight away.

I'm getting around 8 SOT with about 15% battery remaining so could imagine another hour or so with the battery saver enabled.

Coming from the OP3 that bave me 3-3.5 hrs max this is fantastic.

Right lads. Not getting on with my Pixel. Phone is the nicest Android I've used, but I just prefer iOS and the features I changed for aren't doing it for me anymore.

Does anyone know what the returns process is for Google? Can I return it even though I've used it? The phone is spotless.
I already claimed the Bose headphones, not sure if that'll affect anything?

I wouldn't have thought so but got here from the order page.

Happy days. If it fails I'll buy it off you for €200. Its a win win :-D

If something is bought online can’t you return it regardless? No fault necessary.

Obviously you can’t get the headphones but you’ll get your money back.

Honestly I'm never sure of the rules around it if something is open. I've returned plenty of things but never anything open/used

Sure why bother even returning it! :pac:

I had my pixel 4 last year for the best end of a week and returned it once I seen how bad the battery was. Used it every day from opening it until packing it back up.

Ah good to know. Thanks man. Any hassle returning it? Do they send out a return label or what?

You’ll get a label to print once you do the return on the Google store. No questions at all.

It will be interesting what they do regarding the headphones. The terms of the promotion were supposed to mean that you have the pixel in your possession for 2 weeks before claiming, undoubtedly to avoid this situation. They allowed people to claim based on preorder date, though.

MKBHD review finally up - very balanced & fair.

Yeah I dunno what to expect. If I have to send them back or they just never send them it's fine by me.

Maybe I missed it somewhere but how to I get a € symbol in the keyboard when using the 'English - UK' keyboard, there's no 'English - Ireland' option available.

Just long press the £ pound symbol... €

I just wish there was a way of getting the € symbol to be the default, i.e. an English (Ireland) keyboard layout.

jozi

I have lung press for symbols turned on which won't give your the€ symbol without switching to symbols list. I know it's quite insignificant and not really important but just something I noticed earlier

Strange I can do it with a long press of the pound sign or in the symbols menu it's there with no long press. Here it is with long press of pound sign.

I was wrong about stock becoming available after the headphone offer was over. They’re just huge amateurs at selling hardware.

That also works for me if I change to the character map, it's on the keyboard itself where that should be an option (or have a € symbol) see screenshot

If I set default language to Irish, then I can get it on long press d

Edit: actually, when long pressing on the space bar, i stíll have English UK as default, but the euro symbol is accessible from the main keyboard. That's been bugging me for a while.

jozi

Ok that does work but it also tries to write in Irish unless it's dry to multi language.

On a different note, while digging through menus I found a setting which turns on do not disturb when the phone is left face down.

That's been around for a while. Not sure if it's just a Pixel thing or not, but I had it on my Pixel 3. Very handy in meetings.
