    Any recommendations for a cover for a pixel 5 ?

    I was looking at a OtterBox Defender Series SCREENLESS Edition Case for Google Pixel 5 - Black but I can't seem to find a supplier in Ireland

    It's been on the phone since November. Doesn't interfere with wireless charging or the screen.

    I have a denim cover, it covers the entire phone, my legs and and arse. The phone can easily be slipped out of the cover when in use... it's called jeans

    I picked up this one

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08D6429BD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_202DTGZC9RP776G6BCRZ

    It's fine, looks nice on the phone. It can be a little slippy on the arm of the couch.

    For someone who is on a pixel 3 and will move to a pixel 5 soonish
    Any ideas on what improvements I can expect to experience?

    This is my first Pixel so cannot compare to other pixels, but here is what I find.

    Really good battery life. I hit about a day and a half before I need a charge (taking pics, browsing web, social media, checking emails) I don't play mobile games so just general usage.

    Savage camera, night mode is excellent.

    I found the air features a big buggy or just my dodgy finger movements so just opted to enable the bottom nav drawer (back button home button)

    Although it doesn't have the latest top of the range Snapdragon, I have yet to see it struggle or stutter, has been flawless since I got it (Christmas)

    Wide angle lens I don't think the 3 has that.

    For anyone still waiting on their free bose headphones. Spoke to them today and they said Brexit has caused delays. They have to relocate their fulfillment centre from UK to Germany for the Irish market, so they say. Got the email below too.

    Was I dreaming that Vodafone Ireland had the Pixel 5 on stock very recently?
    I just decided to upgrade to it and it's just gone...
    The Pixel 6 doesn't seem to be around the corner, so I'm confused.
    Do you guys know what's happening and if I could get a Pixel 5 on Vodafone in the near future?

    Thank you.

    I picked up one of these a couple of months ago. I'm noticing I'm missing a lot of calls that go directly to voicemail, I never see any sign of the call.

    I'm in Dublin City Centre with a strong signal. My previous phone didn't have this issue with the same SIM card and network.

    Any ideas?

    I got one through Vodafone, so they definitely did have them. No idea when/if they'll get more in stock, though.

    Are they all private (hidden) numbers by any chance? I have the "block private number numbers" feature enabled and it does exactly this.

    I'm only on 40% so I would say no, but that really depends on the user. If you're doing a lot of photos in high quality, it could fill up very fast.

    Install the Files app by Google, will help you clear up any temp / large / downloaded files, unused apps or already backed up photos / videos in Google Photos.

    So just bought the 4a 5g for the wife, it was the positive camera reviews that swung it for me and the reduction of €100.

    Wow, the camera is excellent on the 4a5g compared to our old Samsung and Huawei p8 lite.

    Maybe so but it'll be locked to the VF network which may not suit everyone. It'll be unlocked from the Google store.

    It seems I am incorrect: https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=117273997&postcount=902

    It's not locked, I bought one for 179 when there was a €100 discount code, using it now on Gomo

    I tried to buy it twice recently on the Vodafone website, but was unable to complete the transaction for some reason. I tried my local Vodafone store, who didn't have it, and told me that none of the stores locally had it.
