You probably canceled your order for nothing. That video is about the Pixel 2 and not the Pixel 2 XL.

If you had done some research you'd see that the place where it snaps is where the antenna bands are on the Pixel 2, the Pixel 2 XL doesn't have it's antenna bands in the same place so it won't snap/bend.

Look at the amount of pressure he put it to get it to bend!!! U think that's gonna happen during normal usage!!!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
He said he couldn't cancel fast enough so he's getting it right? And do you really think the LG G6 fan ever really ordered it? The G6 was released in March so it's only been out around 6 months and he orders an XL 2? I guess anything is possible but the naysayers and trolls are invading like a Halloween mashup.

All in all I think the phone did pretty well in that silly test. What kind of water resistance does it have? I mean can you drop it into a bucket.. err toilet and pull it out and it not get damaged?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Salval:
That isn't the 2XL. Plus JRE applies an obscene amount of force to the phones he tests.

Or just don't try to break your phone in half. Or put in in your back pocket and sit on it (seriously, who does that??). Or try to cut it in half with a utility box cutter. These tests are so far removed from "real world" scenarios it is lunacy to base your device choice on them. He also called the Nexus 6P "a joke" and from a hardware perspective my 6P looks as good today as the day it was bought.

Seriously, re-order your Pixel 2, enjoy it when it arrives and ignore the pointless tests in that video.

It's paranoia man. People seems to have a bit extra here one the Google pixel forums. Funny enough I went to a theme park where one of the rides applied a crazy amount of pressure to my lap where my phone was. The lap bar literally landed on top of my phone and was on it throughout the whole ride. Would you guess what happened? Absolutely nothing.

Turn off WiFi.

Turn off Beams.

Don't make bluetooth discoverable (or turn off bluetooth all together).

Turn down your backlight.

Disable plugins that initiate their own data connection (weather programs for example).

Don't use push mail.

Don't use IM programs.

Minimize data usage all around.

Poor signal will also drain your battery quickly, but there isn't much you can do about that.

You really shouldn't be getting that poor of battery life though. Your battery could be at the end of its life. I use lots of data, bluetooth, WiFi, etc. and my battery lasts all day no problem.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] blizzard07:
WIFI is a huge killer of battery, start there

My uncle had his WIFI always on and his battery was lasting about 1/3 of mine. Beam is probably off. I use push and that does not seem to kill very bad. WIFI is probably your killer. Turn off exxcept when needed, I have unlimited verizon and never turn on wifi
[Mogul, XV6800 General] johnnychimpo:
inactive data connection that is still connected drains the battery as well. There is a reg key hack that can turn off the inactive data connection.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] lafester:
if you live on the east coast your data connection is probably very bad right now... which can kill your battery much faster then normal. check the thread about it in this forum for a possible fix.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] xweaponx:
In addition to device tweaks, I would recommend purchasing extra batteries. This will enable you to be independant of a charger, allow you to charge the battery from a complete discharge-to-full state (which improves battery memory) while providing less "downtime". Afterall, a $20 purchase to insure the $400 device + ~$50/month service is well available and convienent is worth it without loitering a 120Vac wall outlet or 12V car receptacle.

I have (4) extra oem batteries that I use:

1 at home,

1 in my truck,

1 in my wallet,

and 1 in my phone...
[General Questions and Answers] SkeletronLP:
I hope this is the correct forum (went with this, cause the problem probably isn't related to my phone model, or is it?)

I bought an used OnePlus 3 from ebay and I have one big problem: The battery gets empty extremely fast. It even gets empty when I'm not using my phone. (lost ~15% in 1-2 hours while it was in my bag), when I go to the settings screen for Battery where it says which things used how much energy since the last full charge, the percentages add up to ~10-15%, even if my battery is at 10%.

Maybe the phone was just charged very often by the person who used to own it, would it be worth to buy a new battery? Or can this have other causes?

I have tried to flash back to stock firmware but i am unable to get play store to certify. I have an unlocked bootloader and am able to return to stock and update to the latest firmware but play store will not certify.

Has anyone been able to return to stock and obtain certified play store status?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] nyijedi:
I've noticed the same thing - toggling location services off and on fixes the issue when it happens, which makes me suspect it's a software issue.

I use my GPS A LOT between navigation and playing pokemon go, and the issue has only happened 3 times over the last 1 1/2 weeks. I imagine a lot of people wouldn't notice the issue if they don't use GPS too often, as for the most part, it works perfectly.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] WebMatt01:
Yeah. I do a lot of on demand delivery, so I'm using my GPS and navigation ALL day long.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Cowbell_Guy:
Somewhat off-topic, but for those of you who are using GPS and maps all day long, is there any way to get the screen to turn off between turns? I am finding that my battery is draining a lot faster than usual compared to previous phones.

I wouldn't make such a big deal about it, if it didn't take 4 hours for this thing to charge...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] phamine:
Same here. On demand delivery and moonlight as a driver.

My Pixel 1 didn't have this issue.

I noticed that GPS would not work 3/10 times when I use Google maps. Resetting the map app wouldn't work at all.

I'll try toggling "location" on and off the next time I noticed GPS not working.

Aside: I experienced screen burn in with the Pixel 1. Some I use maps often, the navigation bar would always be up. Google should hide the navigation bar. I guess I'll try immersive mode to lessen the chance of screen burn in.

---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 PM ----------

I remember there used to be a setting that maps would put the phone asleep and then the screen on when a your approaching a turn.

I guess they removed that feature. I don't see it anymore.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] harsh2193:
Just had these issues again. My GPS keeps showing me that i'm facing in the wrong direction, often times by a 90 or 180 degree angle. So if it tells me to turn right on the map, how do i know where to turn if it shows i'm facing the wrong direction? Restarted, no difference.

same issues

I'm having the same problems with my Pixel 2 XL, and it is shown clearly with the GPS Status app - at times my GPS signal will toggle on and off randomly, with no reliability whatsoever. Other times it simply refuses to initialize. I haven't tried turning location services on and off yet, but I did get a warranty replacement phone from Verizon, and it had the same issue. I opted to return the replacement phone, since there was no fix.

I've got video of the failure, but I can't seem to post it as I'm too new to the forum.

I had this yesterday, it was an exact 180 degrees off (opposite direction). Recalibration couldn't fix it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] phamine:
Did anyone do an RMA yet? Did it resolve the issue.

I thought the November update would fix it, but it hasn't.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled maps and I still have the issue. I would see my location being tracked on Google maps as I'm driving but Google maps wouldn't provide me turn by turn directions. It'll just be a dot instead of the arrow.

The only way to get it to work is by toggling location off and on.

Pixel 2 XL GPS problem - possible fix.

Hi

I've been having the same problem, my phone would not find the GPS satellites. I found that if I set location services to device only the GPS was not picking up any satellites. I turned location services off, restarted the phone and turned location service on, opened the GPS satellite app I have and the satellites appeared. This might be worth a try. I can't report that this solves the problem long term but it's been working for a few minutes which is better than before!!

Having same issue. Thinking about doing an RMA. Nothing that uses gps seems to work. Waze actually says there is no gps signal despite my location services being on high accuracy mode. Restarting pretty much every app and setting. Nothing seems to resolve the problem.

Edit: turn location services off. Reset phone. Open maps and let it ask you to turn on location services. Then it's working.
