Do battery stat apps use much battery? I always assume they're counterintuitive, using battery to find out what's using battery!It's nice to get stats from GSAM ..I forgot I had the Pro version and last night I ADB for the extra permissions
Got a tip for us?

I've never noticed a drain ..normally I don't use them bc I don't worry about battery life ...since this is a new phone and so many people asking and comparing on forums and my chats I wanted to let it run a week or so and gauge ...
Yeah - but I don't mean calling into google/apple customer service HAHAHAThis guy right here..I was on the phone over 3hrs easily yesterday ...and that is just the Android line..iPhone gets good amount as well ...
To be honest, I was really being snarky - because you never really hear reviews talk about call quality. I know when I first switched to the iPhone 3gs, I thought the call quality was subpar to what I had in other phones. It used to be talked about. They've gotten better - but like I said, I can't think of a review recently for any phone that talked about actually making calls

Oh I knew exactly what you meant. Most everyone starts talking about the camera at the beginning. They run over a couple of features. A few of the review guys will go into call quality but they leave everything out. Hey, I have a phone but I don't make phone calls out of it but I'm sure taking a lot of pictures and the sky sure is a lot more blue than I wanted to be. Which by the case is true with this phone right now lol

You nailed it. I took out my VZW sim and put an inactive TMO sim in and pulled the update immediately.
One thing that will keep me on iPhone (for now) is the great audio quality of FaceTime Audio. I still cringe whenever I have to use a regular landline.
I am hoping the Pixel 6 is better than my 3. Audio volume on the 3 is fine, clarity is decent, it just has a random crackle coming in the receiver. Doesn't matter if I am using T-Mobile or AT&T, both services have this on that phone.
I read that it may be an issue with the audio being over modulated in the receiver. It does get a little better when I turn down a couple clicks (I rarely run full volume), but it is still there.
I almost exclusively use airpods for phone calls. I'm too old to hear through the speaker walking around the city haha

Convenience wise the Airpods for iPhone...I don't use them with any other phones ..buds live (black case) best comfort in ear ..red and blue were my first Airpods I decided to have them specially ordered from Colorware so those I'm holding till they die which is probably soon since they don't hold a long charge .. I'm still testing buds 2 and Pixel buds those are new in ...when I travel it's over ear Beats
@Bkdodger you have the beans! 😀 That's a nice collection. I have bad luck with Airpods. My first regular Airpods gave me a weird ache along my jaw and aggravated my tinnitus. Fortunately I was able to give them away to a family member.
My Airpods Pro are awesome but refuse to stay connected to any of my phones anymore. Not even my iPhones! It can take me 15 minutes or more just to get them to pair. The attempts will fail more often than not. Then they often randomly shut down. They've fallen out of my ears a few times so I probably broke something.

Yes, the beans are my favorite really. I can leave them on for a long time. They don't hurt my ears. The sound is pretty decent. Call quality anyway, sorry to hear about the AirPods. The second gen AirPods have been more trouble to me but I think it's software really. I get some disconnects sometime. Someone FaceTimes me and they won't connect even though they're in my ear. I do like that they go back and forth between my Mac and my iPhone when they work properly. I've been fortunate. I've never had any headaches with any of them. I'm sorry to hear you had issues

I should’ve elaborated lol. I’ve been sleep deprived lately and probably don’t make sense half the time.
I had an expected pick up from BB yesterday. They sent an email late Wednesday (like 11:30pm) saying they were “ working hard to get my order prepared but were behind and they’ll let me know when its ready come Thursday”. Thursday morning came..nothing. Thursday afternoon..nothing. Finally around 6:30 pm they sent an automated email explaining the phone was delayed and they would try and get it to me in a few days. I called the store and spoke with CS and they mentioned that they didn’t receive inventory yet. The rep also said she didn’t know when inventory would arrive but that it was on its way. She mentioned I wasn’t the only one and these delays happen for most new releases at BB.
Pissed initially but after searching through my reddit threads I realized she was right. I wasn’t the only one. Hundreds of people who pre ordered the P6P all had delays. Regular 6 not as bad with a delivery date of nov 1 or early next week mostly.
According to a reddit member who spoke with someone at BB, the inventory didn’t go out until late Wednesday night or Thursday morning.
I almost canceled and ordered a 6 but to my surprise I woke up this morning with “your order is ready for pick up” email. So good news 😊
If anyone else pre ordered the P6P from BB then remain hopeful.
I gotta say, the best thing going for the 6 is the size.
While it is still a big phone, it is just compact enough to not be a brick in your pocket.

First day of full charge off the charger at 6:30 am , have 2 hours 33 mins SOT thus far and at 67%, not to bad so far for the first day. I usually get about 5-6 hrs of SOT with my 13 pro with about 30-40% left by the end of the day so I will report back on how I do by tonight, then I will see over the next week how the Pixel compares as the battery settles in and it learns my useage habits.
I was visiting my mom in the hospital so I grabbed some quick and other wise not noteworthy photos other than I wanted to try some different harsher conditions to see how the camera did.
The pic of the windows I wanted to see how well it exposed for the darker inside of the building and the lighter outside the building and am impressed, even my good cameras do not do this well just pointing and shooting. The Micky Mouse was in a really dark corner of the hospital and it came out clear and crisp even when viewed on my computer. The shot of the front of the hospital I wanted to see how it did shooting into the sun, it was so bright I could not even see due to the sun. It has flare as is expected but I am still pretty impressed how it handled the bright Vegas sun.

Still waiting for some comparison shots to get posted between phones. Hoping to do some myself tomorrow as I plan on hitting some new breweries and visit some old haunts with my new device.
If it arrives.
If like ever.

I really like this official case.
It feels great. It's so surprising as well because when I received it, and even in render pics, I thought it looked and felt a little cheap. Like I'd hate it on the device.
Turns out I really like it!

Those photos look wonderful. So far I’ve not seen any user-posted photos that give me any cause for concern or disappointment. I’m only more eager to receive mine now. Thank you for sharing them.
Best wishes and kind regards to your mother.

For anyone who got a Verizon Pixel 6 or 6 Pro, did it come with a Verizon SIM card preinstalled? My GF got a Verizon Sorta Sunny 6 Pro as she doesn’t care about having an unlocked bootloader and it came preinstalled with a Verizon SIM card. I just threw it away and moved the SIM over from her 12 Pro. It worked fine I’m just not used to new phones with SIM cards already preinstalled.
I did and did the same as you just moved my existing sim over and it works just fine
