yeah, but that's kinda like hyundai and their 10-year warranties. nobody would buy them otherwise. but i'll give the pixel 2 the ol' college try when the price comes down....

I hear you but after spending almost a grand (canadian) on a phone, that 2 years warranty, atleast you can be comfortable to know that you're covered for 2 years
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] dbrohrer:
Thanks OP. This is awesome. After using this phone for a week, it is easily the best phone I've ever had. The extra warranty just makes it that much better.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jco23:
100% understood.

however, therein lies your problem - spending that much money (in any currency) on a piece of technology that will be obsolete in 2 years (or even be cut in half in a month).

but don't listen to me, I'd probably just blow that money at the casino or some girly club...

Is this international warranty?

I bought Pixel2 in UK. Can i avail warranty in India?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] krelvinaz:
The Googles warranty page is pretty simple. Basically, you have warranty where you bought it.

If you bought it in the UK, then you have warranty in the UK.

If you live in India but bought in the UK or elsewhere, you have to get it to the where you bought it from for warranty services.

Unfortunately the expensive price point is only getting worst. People are commiting saying the pixel 2 xl is "affordable" flag ship because the note 8, iPhone 8 plus (256 GB) and of course the iPhone X are around $1k(give or take)

Doesn't seem that long ago $650 was considered a normal for flag ship and was not cheap or affordable by tech pundits.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] dbrohrer:
The Pixel 2 (5") is a flagship (I think) and it costs $650. Yes the 2 XL is more. There are good, reliable phones available for $250, $400, $650, $850, etc.

I don't quite understand your point of view and others that complain about the price. I am a big proponent of capitalism and I think you should vote with your wallet. If you think that a particular device does not warrant the cost it would take to procure, then you should not give that company your money. But what is everyone complaining about with the Pixel 2 XL, the Note8, and the iPhoneX pricing? You want something better, with more expensive components. You want it to run faster and smoother with more software features, and you want it to get updates, have a good warranty. What do you think you are paying for when you buy a flagship phone? The 2 XL, Note8, and iPhoneX all have features and aspects that make one better than the other. Each device will serve certain individuals better than others. That's why there is a market for them. You have a choice. Want a better screen, get a Note 8 or iPhoneX. Want updates? Get a Pixel 2 / 2 XL. Want a stylus? Get a Note8. Each are the best devices ever made from their respective company. You pay more for more of a product.

The Nexus 6 was $650 in 2014. It was a 6" screen and a flagship. That phone utterly sucks compared to the Pixel 2 / 2 XL. More phone, more money.

I think I'm going to go on forums and complain that Aston Martins and Ferraris aren't the same price they were in 1995. I mean yea, they are better/ faster / nicer than they were 22 years ago, but I want to pay 1995 prices for the new DB11 or the 488. Why is the the 2018 Honda Accord so much more than it was in 1995? $15,180 in 1995. $24,445 in 2018! WTF

It doesn't make sense. Every dollar is an opportunity cost.

Sorry if my rant came across pointed at you. It was not. I just get tired of seeing all the complaints about price.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsuraDas:
My post was in response to a comment about spending so much money on a device that will be obsolete in 2 years. Sure you can drop several thousands of dollars on a laptop but it will be supported for many years, and depending on the OEM can potentially be upgraded down the line.

Yes there are a ton of options from various different price points, and are all great devices that suit people's needs differently. The flagship prices are getting a little ridiculous but it's here to stay. There are a number of demands including demand, premium hardware, cost of materials, cost of gas etc. I don't like the rising cost of phones but I understand it. I do think the complaint of phone's (especially flagship phones) raising prices are valid with the disposable nature and planned obsolescence of phones. With the exception of Google and Apple OEM's push out new phones leaving older phones outdated for months if they ever get supported at all.

The Nexus 6 in 2014 was a beast of a phone, and even then people were complaining that the Nexus 6 was far too expensive (for a Nexus) I still have my Nexus 6 and it runs like a champ. It's hard to compare a modern phone to a phone 3 years old. IMO the Nexus 6 was a better phone for the time. This is subjective of course.

I
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] dbrohrer:
I agree with that. I had the Nexus 6 as well. I thought it was a great phone when I had it.

Sorry about the post. I have grown so weary of people complaining about the 2 XL screen issues and it's cost. "For $850, I should get a better screen, or expandable storage, or fake colors." Buy it or something else, or save your money. Drama.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsuraDas:
Fair enough, I still think the Pixel 2 xl complaints are valid but I will agree it's getting old hearing the same argument over and over again. I think the Pixel 2 is a better value not just because it's cheaper but an over all better value.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] dbrohrer:
Agreed. After handling both, I genuinely liked the Pixel 2 better. So far mine has been flawless.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jco23:
also to through in there, the costs of the phones have been relatively the same over time - the difference has been the way the wireless carriers price them. if you recall (not too long ago), these phones would cost $200-$300, but required a 2-year contract. but if you did NOT want a contract, you had to pay the retail price of $600-$700.

also, when a phone first comes out (as with any new gizmo), the initial price is always inflated.

but otherwise, I agree - if you don't like the product, find something else.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
Generally speaking there are multiple sweet spots to buy a new phone.

Immediately at launch I get a Home Mini which I'll sell (-$50), and the T-Mobile promotion which will save me a lot even after the temporary cost of an extra line ($-250 net). So factor that in, my new Pixel 2 is costing me $350 (even less after I sell my old phone). I consider this an excellent deal.

There's a period of about 6-8 months though after launch that is the absolute worst time to buy a new device. None of the launch promos, none of the discounts.

After that, promos and sales start again.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] anzenketh:
That thinking is why I actually got the Pixel. It was the n only one that I could find that would Guarantee 3 years of updates. For once I am actually excited on not what may be coming down the pipe. And after that hopefully Project Treble would make more manufactures update sooner and faster.

Maybe it's the Google home mini?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stumpy352:
That's what I was thinking. Google Home mini for sure. But if turns out to be a second phone...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] THEbigSWEEN:
But to get the mini you have to be sent a code via email then use it when checking out at the Google Store. Plus they're not supposed to send codes out until like 4-6 weeks to avoid people getting the mini and returning the phone, then keeping a free Home mini. I would hope OP would remember ordering the mini.

That'd be sweet if it was a second free phone, but likely just a duplicate notice from FedEx. So it's a different tracking number though?

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakethelyftdriver:
I think I fixed it

I too had just started having this problem and it was driving me nuts! I think I just fixed it though. Some of this might be unnecessary additional steps but here is what I did:

1. Go to Settings > Apps

2. Under System Apps scroll to and click "Android TV Remote Service"

3. Click "Uninstall updates" and "Clear data"

4. Back out to the main Settings list, scroll to "Remote & accessories" and click Nexus Remote > Unpair > Ok

5. Disconnect Nexus player from internet and unplug Nexus player power supply

6. Wait 10 seconds and reconnect power supply

7. Once it's powered up reconnect to internet

8. Re-pair the Nexus Player remote

9. Wait for the notification that the Android TV Remote Service is updating/updated

That's it. So far it's working like normal again. Hope it stays that way and works for you too!

I've suddenly started to experience this problem as well. After it drops the connection, when I press a button on the remote, the light will flash while it reconnects—typically 3-5 seconds.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Rodeojones:
The muted colors and potential quick setting burn-in have been my concerns with the phone since getting it two days ago (although I don't notice the color issue unless I compare it to a different device). I have no grittiness to my display, and the blue tint on mine is battery noticable - requiring an exaggerated viewing angle for it to become apparent. The two year warranty, though, is great and is probably the deciding factor in me keeping the phone. This is great news.

I've been waiting for them to address the navigation button burn in since they switched to onscreen navigation buttons on Galaxy Nexus.

Wait.... So did I spend an extra 100 bucks on preferred care for nothing now??

I don't need "support". Bought it specifically for extended hardware coverage.

Or does the Google warranty only cover "manufacturer defect" and not accidental damage?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
I believe preferred care covers user damage such as cracked screens (up to 2 claims). And pretty sure you can get a full refund within 30 days of purchase if you cancel the preferred care.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vansmack:
They followed up with another post on the blue tint:

We want to add some info regarding the blue tint that some of you have been asking about. The slight blue tint is inherent in the display hardware and only visible when you hold the screen at a sharp angle. All displays are susceptible to some level of color shift (e.g. red, yellow, blue) when viewing from off angles due to the pixel cavity design. Similar to our choice with a cooler white point, we went with what users tend to prefer and chose a design that shifts blue.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] coach26:
This is the part of the post I don't like and sounds fishy....

"The update will also reduce the maximum brightness of the Pixel 2 XL by a virtually imperceptible 50 cd/m2 (nits), thereby significantly reducing load on the screen with an almost undetectable change in the observed brightness. "

"

virtually

imperceptible

50 cd/m2 (nits)" & "

almost undetectable

change in the observed brightness."

Now I have read that the Pixel 2 XL's peak brightness right now is 483 nits, which is not that bright compared to some other flagship screens. If I remember correctly, some get to the mid to high 500's. Nevertheless, 50 nits is 10.35% of 483. Your telling me I'm not going to notice a 10% reduction in brightness????? I find that VERY VERY hard to believe. Also, if you have to reduce a screens specs to make it work properly, wouldn't you call that a defect. Isn't that like buy a car that's advertised having 483 horsepower but then after you bought it, we decided for the engine to work properly, we had to reduce your max horsepower to 433?

Am I missing something here because I haven't really heard anyone upset about this? I mean I don't really know anything about the unit "nits", as the number gets larger does the amount of perceived brightness become more and more negligible?

It honestly seems brighter to me. My screen wasn't bright at max brightness and now it hurts my eyes.

Hi!

I have the German WM 6 rom on my 9100 and it's running good, apart from the missed calls.

It seems that a not taken call will be accepted by the phone and therefore the call is not a missed call but an incomming call in the call history! (The caller comes without problemes to my mailbox)

I tried a lot of things and found out that after a reboot of the system, the missed calls are ok since I first make a change in the ring mode (silent, meeting, ring tone).

I have searched all around the world and found nothing about that problem!

Hopefully somebody can help me!!!!
