Hence why I am saying you might get lucky. However when they see you have an Irish address and the payment receipt shows Amazon, your entitlement ends.. But worth a try

Confused by your reply, I sent you the Irish terms and you replied with the UK terms?

Good luck either way!

I replied with the UK one because I was told by both Amazon and Google support that buying from Amazon and living in Ireland makes me eligible for the headphones, the issue is Google support couldn't answer if it would be shipped to me, so I am waiting on an email back from them. I suppose if worst comes to worst I can use parcel motel or addresspal etc

Experiencing something odd with my new Pixel 5. After a full charge, it shows 100% for hours afterwards, even though I'm using it all during that time. Battery usage since last full charge displays the message "Battery usage data isn't available". I could do a factory reset, but would rather not. Is there any way to reset just the battery monitoring on its own?

My order is still pending, I ordered a Just Black on 4 Oct and my estimated delivery time is still 18/19 Nov.

I was onto Google Support and they said; "We’re experiencing an inventory shortage in EMEA for Pixel 5 devices. The shortage is driving a high number of contacts on device availability".

I told them I was more worried that I'll miss out on the Bose headphones and could they guarantee that I'd get a pair. They said that every Pixel 5 phone purchased before the 19 Oct will get a pair of headphones regardless on how late they submit their claim.

I asked about the "Limited Stock offer" in the banner on the Google Store page and was told; "Upon checking here there is no information for "limited offer only" under Pixel 5 but instead it is on Pixel 4a (5G) offer".

Make of that what you will

Maybe the battery is that good that after 4 hours it was still at 100%?

Does anyone have any suggestions for a headphone jack adapter with charging or a BT aux adapter.

Unfortunately work vans do not have built in BT and I can't/don't want to listen to 10 hours of Irish radio playing the same playlist of songs.

Mine arrived from Amazon today. Had to submit the claim for the Bose through the UK claim form and had to use Parcel Wizard's phone number and address. It wouldn't take my Irish number but seemed to take my Irish address but I changed it to Parcel Wizard before submitting to hopefully avoid any problems.

Will let you know if it's accepted it not.

I see Vodafone have the Pixel 5 listed now for €629.99. Obviously a few quid more expensive but may be a route for anyone who missed it from other sources, assuming it also comes unlocked as the 3A did.

Its been up for a while now. The headphone offer is over so will be plenty on Adverts selling them for lower just to keep the headphones.

Edit: Actually it expires at 11.59pm today.

I thought that was open until 18th Nov (or until stock gone)??

You need to buy Pixel 5 by 19th of October

Pixel 4a 5g buy between 5/11/2020 and 18/11/2020

Panda5000 · 19-10-2020 02:28PM

Oh - I'll need to make a call on it today (via Vodafone) so! Didn't want black but don't want to miss out on the headphone offer.

djr · 19-10-2020 03:45PM

got my p5 black today from DHL (delayed with a redirect because our office is closed some days of the week). lovely device coming from a 3a, 90hz is very noticeable and appreciated for me, and the screen is generally higher quality as well.

nice to have a bit more storage headroom too @128GB. it's a fair bit snappier for me, especially the camera. the camera on the 3a had really begun to struggle for me recently, so this is a blessing.

feel is nice, but i've got a few kids so will be getting some kind of case for safety reasons anyway. hopefully it won't need to live on power saver mode permanently like my 3a. validation came through as well for the headphone offer today, it took a few days to validate for some reason and i was starting to get worried.

You got your phone today, and you got your offer validated same day???? How'd you work that?

i had actually put through the bose offer application as soon as i got the imei on the shipping notice last week, and got a text message today to validate that the claim had been accepted today. took two business days for the bose claim to validate.

I validated before the phone shipped!

Once it changes to being shipped, check the order details on the Google store and you'll see a serial number, that's your IMEI code, you should have everything else.

It's doing the same. I leave it on my Pixel stand at night so it's at 100% when I get up. It stays at 100% for about 4 hours and then starts to go down. It's currently at 69% after a good bit of use, so no complaints, but still a bit strange. I might leave it off the stand tonight and let it run down to empty and see if that sorts it out.

kopite386 · 19-10-2020 05:38PM

Still no movement on my order since 2am Friday when it departed the facility in Eidenhoven.

Edited to add - I ordered on launch night via the Google store. I was expecting it today or tomorrow now I don't know.

19-10-2020 06:07PM

Still nothing for my order placed via Google on September 30th.

Order placed with Vodafone on Thursday now has tracking, so would expect it tomorrow or Wed at the latest.

Not going to get this bought before the offer ends it seems. Haven't been notified of any stock in at least two days, let alone the sage colour I want. Damn! So frustrating!

I'm actively trying to give them my money!

You’ll see loads of stock appear once the headphone offer is over I’d suspect.

Vodafone had availability when I looked earlier

You're such a cynic. If there was loads of stock they're holding back due to the headphone offer, then they would have at least shipped orders like mine that were placed on the day of the announcement.

If they were competent at this then you’d have got yours before others that ordered later, regardless of stock or not.

Cheers, looking for unlocked version to use with 48 though.

Hmm, I'm not as hopeful of that either. The 4a 5G is getting a similar offer soon after and I'm getting one of those too. So maybe I'll pick up the headphones then.

Would have been nice to get the offer here though.

Already confirmed by someone on here that the Vodafone one is unlocked:

Mine arrived today from Vodafone. Unlocked as well so well worth the extra 12 quid. Ordered it last week.

I'm on 48 also, and expecting one to come from Vodafone in the next day or two.

Oh, I didn't know that! So I'd just buy a PAYG phone off Vodafone and it'll work?

I assume it'll be fine for the Bose offer too?

Sorry for the stupid question, but is it possible to buy it without having a Vodafone account? Asking me for account numbers etc if I try to register.

EDIT: Vodafone live chat no help whatsover. Just keep telling me that the phone is locked.

From memory, you just have to register with an email address when purchasing. I have had Vodafone accounts in the past, so I just registered with a dot missing from between my first and last name of my email address, so it registers as a completely new email as far as Vodafone are concerned.
