**** The Official Google Pixel 2/Pixel 2 XL Thread ****

Been doing it as long as I can remember, it's one of the first things I do. Animations in 1.0 seem so slow .

I never noticed that there :)

I've gave it a wee go, but prefer the fingerprint unlock. I've had a Pixel since the first release and it's just intuitive to unlock like that now.

Yeah I had that feature enabled on my Pixel XL however as it could be unlocked by a photo of me I scrapped it. No doubting it's usefulness but if your phone needs to be as secure as possible then not ideal.

I only use it because my fingerprint barely works at the moment - constantly got client hands and it just refuses to work

Try cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol

Switch phone off first and use as high a %age as you can find, and scrub it with a cloth or similar with the alcohol dabbed on.

My finger print reader was terrible but since doing that several months ago I rarely have an issue now.

Done that, didn't make a difference :/

Sick of my TPU case that's now gone yellow and is pretty horrible to hold. I just got a free Amazon voucher and decided to go for the midnight fabric case. I could have sworn it was available last week but now it's out of stock everywhere. Gutted! :( Ended up going with the carbon one. I suppose at least it was a few quid cheaper.

Looks like you'll be able to pick between a Dark and Light theme soon.

Just the launcher, unfortunately, and you can already do this just by selecting a dark or light wallpaper, or by using a hacky workaround of a live wallpaper that allows you to select a custom wallpaper and override the automatic selection. It’s not really a proper dark mode, and google have already ruled it out :(

I've had speaker distortion ever since I got my 2XL in November last year, and I recently compared it with a friend's phone. She has no speaker distortion.

So over the last week I've been emailing Google back and forth asking for an RMA. However they've just told me that their engineers are aware of this problem and "a fix is in progress". Anyone think this sounds a bit like they're fobbing me off? I'm just not sure how a fix like this takes over 7 months to produce, since there were widespread reports at launch of this issue...

Keep persisting with a RMA, The phone I sent back on Saturday had distortion on the bottom speaker, Didn't really bother me much to be fair, But the replacement I have received has zero distortion.

Thanks. I will persist. Mines so bad I actively avoid using the internal speakers whenever possible.
 
Has anyone been getting any problems with their Pixel 2 (mines an XL) with Bluetooth pairing? Mine wants to keep re-pairing with my car for no apparent reason. It'll work fine for a while, and then suddenly it'll 'forget' the pairing and try to re-pair.

Yes same here but I'm on the beta P which might be the reason?

Not quite the same but I have a bluetooth speaker and have to turn off HD audio or it keeps cutting out, and it never re-pairs automatically when I turn the speaker on (my old Samsung S7 did). However my headphones work fine.

I'm not convinced the Pixel 2's bluetooth implementation is particularly brilliant, if I'm honest.
