No issues on backup in photos that I can see. Minr is set to back up over 4g. What options do you have ticked ?

The same as normal, back up over WiFi or 4G doesn't matter. It just hangs on 'Getting ready'.
As I say, uninstalling updates fixes it and its not an issue on my old 2XL or my other half's Pixel 3.
Very frustrating. Only thing I've not tried and I doubt very much it will fix it is a factory reset. I ave sent a bug report etc. so hopefully Google can/will fix it.
I've only seen 2 other people mention it, both were in the reviews of the app on the play store, hopefully its just a random bug.

Tried clearing cache and storage ?
Odd. I just tested and no issues on 4g or wifi. Sounds easy to fix by Google

Of course, that's one of the first things I tried. It's some kind of sync issue because if I update it and clear data it stalls on getting photos and doesn't sync what's not on the device.
It has to be the app as the system version (what you're left with after uninstalling updates) works faultlessly, it's only when it updates does it goes **** up.

My Orange XL arrived last week. It's a fantastic phone from what I've seen so far. Lovely and smooth with no delays opening and switching between apps. The interface is pretty much the same as my Nokia 7+ was. Battery wise I had around 4 hours of screen on time yesterday and the phone sat a 10%. I gave it full charge before going to bed but got up this morning and it was on 89% with Ambient Display using the battery up.

Mine was like that too, so I switched off Ambient Display, and now the screen just wakes when I have a notification of any description. I have to say, I preferred the little LED notification light on my Pixel 2XL, but I'm now getting used to just tapping the screen to see if there any notifications I may have missed. My battery life improved a bit by doing this - nothing earth shattering though

LED light on the P2XL?

Yeah, the notification light in the top right hand corner. Used to customise it with apps like LED light manager to have different colours for different apps.....

I'm fairly sure it doesn't have one!

Top right hand corner - it's definitely there..... https://www.phonearena.com/news/The-Pixel-and-Pixel-2-have-hidden-LED-notification-lights_id113673
It was so long ago, I forgot you had to enable it!

Thanks for confirming! I thought I was going mad, despite having the 2XL for over 2 years

ah turns out i am in the same position as you.Thanks for confirming! I thought I was going mad, despite having the 2XL for over 2 years
tbh i guess it's not needed with ambient display.

December security update is now downloading on my Pixel 4XL....

With Google now owning Fitbit so you think we will end up with some sort of pixel watch to add to their eco system?
Soldato
Hope so. I am sure they will do something

Yep they think it's about as useful as an ultra wide angle lens clearly

I do hope they make a watch though that competes with Samsung/ apple as Fitbit just lacks features and looks ugly and Samsung battery is absolutely **** I don't want to charge my watch up every 24-48hrs lol

After buying Fitbit it is surely a market they are still interested in.
