Slightly off topic but when you RMA'd did you return your old phone with UPS? Did they collect or did you drop it to a depot? Having a bit of an issue returning old one as no UPS depot around here.

Sorry for late reply, I dropped it off at UPS in Jamestown, Dublin, took about a week for Google to receive it. Still having the same speaker problems with the new phone.

Just usual 5th of month security update yesterday

youngblood · 06-03-2019 09:34PM

Best tempered glass or screen protection for Pixel 3 (not the Pixel 3 XL)?

This was just an app update. I knew it could do the esim thing but I never seen any reference to it before as no Irish network provides the service.

Hey Mick,

Is this the right one? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultimate-Shield-Premium-Tempered-Protector/dp/B07JC8JRP4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1551913085&sr=8-1&keywords=ultimate+shield+3+xl

Not had any tempered glass on it since day one because there wasn't anyway but has me anxious!

Was waiting for the dBrand prism protector but initial reviews are iffy and its pricey enough

romperstomper · 14-03-2019 03:17PM

pixel 3 is $599 today from google store. you still need to get cousin joe to mule it back for you, but it is pretty appealing at just over 500eurons

That's very tempting and I have a OP6T

Android 9.0- out now

Android 9.0 has been GA since last August, and the Pixel 3 came with it from factory???

I presume you mean the Beta 2 of Android Q (10)? It's far from being the released version.

OldMrBrennan83 · 05-04-2019 08:23AM

I stuck it on mine in this round after skipping the first beta and it's grand for most things apart from the multi tasking gestures. Most of the new features are good and battery life is surprisingly decent.

Yea that one

OldMrBrennan83 · 08-04-2019 04:34PM

Actually the new storage permissions are a pain in the hole at this stage. Was trying to attach a file to Outlook today and Outlook could only access its own folder on the internal storage as per the new way access is assigned in Q, so I'm going to factory back to P for now.

There's nowhere in the settings to turn on global storage access either.

Those and the Layer ones are the closest thing you can get to none. Love them.

Pixel 3a and 3a XL due out the 7th May.

OldMrBrennan83 · 03-05-2019 09:53AM

If they keep the exact same camera as the main ones the rumoured prices look like great value.

Cina · 03-05-2019 10:01AM

2015 called, they want their bezels back.

AngryLips · 03-05-2019 10:07AM

I wonder if Vodafone will range this

I wonder will it have an IP rating. I haven't looked into Pixel phones before but it seems like a nice compact phone. Depending on the price they could market it against the S10E if it was a couple hundred euros cheaper.(I know S10E is vastly superior but some people are still using iPhone SE's due to size)

Except the 3A will likely be larger than the 10E. 5.6" screen with massive bezels compared to a 5.8" screen with almost no bezels.

It's definitely be a good draw for those who want stock android with a top camera and don't want to have to fork out for the Pixel. There isn't really anything in the market like that at the moment, but for that price you can still get a lot more bang for your buck, and a phone that doesn't look as dated!

OldMrBrennan83 · 03-05-2019 02:11PM

I forget about bezels and notches within about half an hour of using a phone.

OldMrBrennan83 · 09-05-2019 10:17PM

It can go here seeing as there's no thread for Android 10. The new gestures are brilliant. Love the swipe for back.

Trying to create a gif from a burst mode shot i took with 177 pictures. I remember before that this was much easier with a button that said create animation but it is now gone.

Anyone provide any help here?

JKGT · 14-05-2019 12:00PM

There is an option in photos assistant animation 2-50 photos if that's any help....

So I can get a refund from Amazon on my Huawei Mate 20 (500 sterling) and get the pixel 3 XL for 599 pounds (64gb only though).

Sell it to me?

I hear the camera is good. I like vanilla Android. But I can get the S10 128gb for 579... or keep the Huawei...(and already have case etc for that)

Unless you really, really, REALLY have to have vanilla Android then the S10 over the 3XL is a no brainer imo. Way superior phone.
