It doesn't even matter as the phone is still usable unlike in the past.

Umm ok?
It's still 2h. If you watch it or not.
I don't see the humour of it. I assume that was humour...

But the fact you keep using your phone as normal while it goes on means we don't see the issue in it either 
You were posting like it's a problem I guess... ?

im posting to see if 2h is normal or is there something wrong with my phone?
But i guess you wouldn't know if you dont give it any attention at all.

It seems to be a bug that goes full volume on calls. If you manually lower the volume off max while on a call its becomes fine.

Oh, sorry, there was no question, just a statement that seemed like a moan.
But you're right, I couldn't tell you. Honestly, I would have said it took minutes as I just got a notification about rebooting for an update... I looked in settings later to see and it was done.

What app do people use for step tracking? I always used Samsung health as I owned Samsung phones but not sure what to use now.
I have a P7P (not using the watch)

The 7 is solid. If you have access to a student discount you can go for this offer.

From a p20 pro to a pixel 7 pro
I laugh when I see the p20 now.
I wasn't sure, still not convinced, this phones worth it at full price but if you get a discount it's a no brainer.

100% agree and same boat.
I had p20 pro since Oct 2018, still worked fine but wasnt lasting full day. Decided to upgrade whilst I set up a new business and went for the P7 Pro for future proofing side of things and hoping it lasts a similar amount of time.
I didnt think the improvements would be so big, very glad I went with the pro and upgraded now.
Dont get me wrong, lot of love and respect for the p20 pro and this is how I felt when I moved to that phone, no regret and just a lot of happiness.
I paid full price and dont feel ripped off, but if oyu can add discount codes on top, you're a lucky devil

Got a Pixel 7 pro as part of my EE retention deal, it arrived today but I'm frustrated already setting it up.
I expected it to arrive with no plug, but it doesn't seem to like any of the ones I already have so I can't even charge the thing. The type c to type c cable and adapter do nothing for me either, do I need an official plug/cable or something?
