Anyone know if they're replacing Pixel 1s for battery life issues? I think the battery life on my old Iphone 4 was better

FYI, didn't see this posted yet but if you are using a Nexus 6P and are experiencing Battery or Bootloop issues, google is now replacing them with BRAND NEW 128GB Pixel XL. Even if you're out of warranty. Had to family way out of warranty and they replaced both with Pixel XLs with priority shipping. Return the old one after you get it.

I'd also recommend doing a factory reset. 99% of the time, it is some APP related issue... not the hardware. |
Just got back from a trip to Taiwan. Used data only sim and got decent performance. I seemed to always have a connection, but it was on 3G. However the speed was enough for my needs (maps/browsing FT/imessage). Not sure why it wasn't on LTE, but that's okay.

That page says "not available" in VN.
The bottom half shows rates for calling VN from the US. Code:
These are the rates for using Project Fi in Vietnam:-David The Sim cards for data and voice etc. are super cheap in Vietnam. worked great for our trip. |
The "Bill Protection" (https://www.blog.google/products/pro...ll-protection/) feature announced today is pretty cool. An unlimited plan during the times you'll be using lots of data (throttling begins at 15 GB), but the same old pay per use when you don't.

So for an individual user: 0G - 6GB: $10/G 6GB - 15GB: Free >15GB: Throttled (256k) Is that correct? |
That's rather appealing especially considering when using a Data Only sim in a tablet and a phone for the same capped price.
Looks good for group plans too.

Cancelled my Fi service. T-mo and Sprint didn't work in my new building in Miami and Google wouldn't do anything about it. When I was a T-Mo customer they supplied me with a booster for my home. Google said they do not do that. So I cancelled and went over to AT&T and now service works on my Pixel. Will swap back when traveling abroad for any length of time.
Fi is excellent internationally but I find it lacking domestically. |
Did Wifi calling not have an impact on your service level? I have Sprint for my main phone with their free 1 year of service promotion but in my new apartment the service is not great but with wifi calling it's remedied.

Tmobile offers their customers plenty of network extras, boosers and femto cells, as does sprint at&t and Verizon. Mvnos are a bit more restricted, Google would need to figure out thhe strongest across three carriers, and stock those. There's nothing that prevented you from getting a Wilson yagi antenna that would work across all carriers. Or, do as you had done, simply switch carriers. |
Remember you have roaming on Verizon in most laces at 3g.

Surely, google could've offered a booster. T-Mo did. Google could. Nothing "can't" about it.
