Just as an info note;

I ordered one Wondefoo Astra H radio on Ali sep 26 2018. It was android 8 and all the issues described in this thread. Bluetooth connectivity often not showing and wifi neither. I accidentally demolished the screen (long story) so I ordered a new one; A Hizpo Astra H radio on android 8.1 on march 10th this year.

No connectivity issues!

Only issue I have is that there is an annoying coil whine when changing the RGB led color to a non 0 or 255 value. This I have worked out with the seller so not a true issue here.

This seems to affirm the notion that a new model has new hardware.

Cheers.
[Android Head-Units] gareev:
hello, and i have a problem with bluetooth and wifi module. The seller sent me the wifi card and the A5BC6 bluetooth card. When I go to solder them with wifi everything is ok but for the bluetooth there are missing elements on the main board (enclosed in red) can anyone tell me what should the elements be?

Thanks

Is there any way to know if a unit has the GL850G chip without opening it? Does it register somehow in the logs?

Thanks,

Does anyone here have a copy of the wakeupd.rar file referred in this forum? The download link is not working anymore. I would like to test this init.d script if this will fix my usb problem.

Thank you.
[Android Head-Units] magick81:
Hey guys, when I press the Play button to test run the script it doesn't work. I'm getting an error. Error 27 I think it was. I'll go back and check. Anyone else have this or know how to fix?
[Android Head-Units] magick81:
Actually it says error #127??? Help please :(

Wifi and bluetooth went down again this morning. Manually ran the script in tasker and got the same error. Error 127.

I had to find a pin and push the reset button twice to get it working again.
[Android Head-Units] magick81:
Well this morning was a repeat of the last few mornings, got me feeling like its GROUNDHOG DAY lol

No idea why :(

Went into Tasker to run the script manually and got the same error again. is there something wromf with my script? or my tasker?

Can somebody help me please I am getting desperate!! :(

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] mad4some:
So I've done a bunch of googling and have tried what I have found to no avail. I am now using my OP3 as a car music source via bluetooth and I have no sim card in the phone. Battery drain from "phone idle" is always present regardless of what I have frozen or deactivated so far, and if I freeze too much then I get "com. android phone has stopped" crash and then have to unfreeze until I get it stable again. I of course always have airplane mode activated and have mobile data toggle off, but no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Cheers

[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrcet007:
Is the preorder Rs 5000 off on hdfc card on top of the Rs 5k instant discount from HDFC card for Big billion days?

The preorder offer of Rs 5000 is mentioned below.

https://www.flipkart.com/google-pix...er=sp_browse_announcement_search.flipkart.com

Anyone got clarity?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] alkeshgamer:
I don't think those offers will be clubbed, only a 5k discount would be there. And if it works, that's pretty great, but chances are very less.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rkial:
I think it'll be additional.

The HDFC 2.5k + 2.5k over 40k for Big Billion Day is only valid till tomorrow. It'll drop to 1.5k+2.5k on 12th..

They wont advertise a 5k off pre order bonus if it was just for the first day of pre order.

I need to open an HDFC account tommorow. Wonder how long it'll take to get a card.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] santosh86:
I see only a 2.5k instant discount for HDFC credit/debit cards, not 5k.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rkial:
There is an additional 2.5k off for transactions over 40k

Edit:

Just saw the pre order page.. Doesnt look like the regular 2.5k discount applies.. just the 2.5k for transactions over 40k

Hmm.. Will need some clarification. If its just 2.5k, then I'm not getting a new HDFC card... Croma has 2.5k off on ICICI every thursday. Other stores have offers on all cards all the time. I'll get it offline this time if its just 2.5k off online
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] santosh86:
I can confirm, as of now, it is just 2.5k. I clicked on place order, selected my HDFC cc, it applied 2.5k instant discount automatically. I cancelled it just before the final step.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rkial:
Yeah. No point pre-ordering. No pre order freebie either.

You'll get the same deal in stores.. You might even get something better a week after it goes on sale. Diwali is on Nov 7th.

The pre-order splash page does say 5k off.. and it says Pre orders begin on 11th ..

Might get updated post midnight.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] santosh86:
Yep. I was surprised too about the early pre-order. Lets hope it gets updated.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] m0h1t:
I just placed the pre-order since I was getting a decent price for my 2 year old pixel (14k). Got it for 52k (71k - 14k - 5k).

Do you guys think I can get more than 14k for my 2 year old pixel? the screen is brand new, got it replaced from google 2 weeks back.

I still have the option of cancelling the order.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] GizmoFreak:
It's 5k discount! + no cost EMI ;)
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] santosh86:
14-15k seems to be just about right for 2 year old original pixel imo
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] GizmoFreak:
Discount is 5k. Check my previous post for screenshot.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] santosh86:
Yup. I see 5k discount now when I checked on my wife's account using the same card. Both are Flipkart Plus holders.

Strange.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrcet007:
Its 5K discount with Hdfc card right now. The price is still too high. Its not worth that price in my opinion. I can almost buy two one plus 6T for this price.

I am gonna wait till prices come down to more realistic levels or try to get it from US.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] alkeshgamer:
I tried with HDFC net banking, it shows no discount. So only via card one can get 5k off I guess.

Update: Pre-ordered using HDFC Debit Card with 5k off

Which color did you order?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rkial:
Offline stores have an offer of 5% cashback (no cap) on HDFC/Citi/RBL cards.. and a Google Home Mini if you are a Pixel/Nexus user..

Pretty decent deal. These stores also have 5% up to 2k offers on other bank cards on various days of the week..

The Home mini offer is till 7th Nov.. Diwali is on 7th. There should be some other offers too if you dont have a HDFC/Citi card.

Might want to go have a look at a nearby Croma/Reliance Digital.

Guys is pixel 3 woth an upgrade coming from pixel 2xl?

Sold my pixel 2xl 4 months back. Is pixel 3 really an incrimental upgrade??
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] brahmajivv:
Don't think so unless you enjoy only stock experience.. you have to shell out a lott for just camera at 3Gb ram......all other features are available in all phones now a days.. if you want durability and good display go for samsung...If you want great features go for huwaei @48MP or one plus these offers great community also durable but just didn't certify water proof but has proved durability....

I m hardcore 6P user for 2.5 years, I do understand the camera offered by Google.. still that much we can get in all phones now..
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
Latest Huawei mate 20 pro is a good phone. You can try seeing that once in chroma store. If you want something cheaper and fullfiling , then op6T is there.

But nothing can beat the pixel 3 in camera department. Its a different experience. Also if you want a smaller size powerful phone then also pixel 3 is good. I went for Pixel 3 because i have small hands. Otherwise Huawei is a good contender.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] drtushar:
Already using Huawei mate 20 Pro. Very happy with the performance and now it's my main device. But the camera is not what it is made out to be. The wide lens is a good addition and I feel all phones should have a wide lens.

For my secondary device I am using iPhone XR. Sold my XS max and got the XR as I feel it has a better camera.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
Yeah mate 20 pro is a beauty and feature rich. Night sight from pixel 3 is a blessing. I am using night sight even in daylight and photos are stunning.

Hello, have been using Pixel 3 since a month and loving it so far. Anyone here having issues with Android Auto?

It works as intended for 2-3 minutes and the car head unit freezes( the FM works in the background though).

I have Hyundai i20 and have used S8+, Redmi Note 4, LG G7+, and Nokia 5.1 Plus with the same car and not faced any issues till date.

Spoke with Google support and tried resetting the app, I even did a factory reset and set up as a new device, but nothing seems to work

Thats good. How to enable it for Airtel? Any Idea?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rohank1009:

Hi

I'm getting pixel 3 for 38k, new.

Is it worth getting?

Speakers and battery drain are my biggest points.

Thanks
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sendhiloo7:
If you ok with larger screen, go for one plus 7t
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xebeck:

Thanks.

But what if I prefer small screens?

Does 4gb ram feel low sometimes?

Idle battery drain?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] drtushar:
If only camera and only camera is ur priority go for pixel 3. Rest everything OnePlus is much much ahead. 90 Hz screen is a feature anyone would love and can't revert back to the routine 60 Hz.

Updates are faster though not pixel like.

But you would be much happier customer after OnePlus 7t.

I use both the pixel 3 xl and OnePlus 7 pro.

Pixel has always been just a backup.

Always carry my OnePlus 7 pro.

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 PM ----------

Yes 4 GB ram is less of it into gaming. Apps don't stay in memory quite often.

Idle battery drain is less in pixel.

Save money and go for 3a if u get a better deal.

Hi guys...

After the android 10 update, has there been any improvement in the battery life of your Pixel 3(small one, NON-xL)?

Especially wrt standby battery drain?

* I'm a total non-gamer, don't play any mobile games whatsoever.

For YT, social media and chrome, will it last me from 8 AM to 8PM?

Please answer, it's very important. The next mobile will be with me for 2 years.

*I keep coming back to it due to its small size.

Thank you

Hi guys...

Refused delivery of ROG2 at my doorstep, bought and sold iPhone 11 in 17 days and finally got a Pixel 3 yesterday.

Loving it. Battery life ain't that bad.

In India, what is the best (and not so expensive) cases and screen protection for it please?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] brahmajivv:
It's just great for minimal users, for screen protectors i go for gadgetshieldz n spigen, obviously not a cheaper ones,

If you want to find much features in pixel 3 you won't find any, but you will sure find many things missing like jio HD call, which even basic phones support just to promote duo, and video over HDMI and all small silly things we expect in premium phones, even casting is limited to chrome cast

But I love this small and sleek phone that still powerful.. hate all bigger phones

I am planning to pre order pixel 3. Upgrade from One plus 6 just for camera. post discounts and exchange, pixel 3 comes to 48k. Any idea if Pixel 3 XL will be back in stock for pre order? I am not sure whether to go for 3 or XL.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] GizmoFreak:
Pixel 3 screen will feel really small especially when watching media. And if you are coming from 1+6 then you will definitely feel it.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] m0h1t:
Demo units are available in croma and reliance digital (delhi) if you guys want to go check it out. Build quality is great.

Played with the camera a bit but couldn't spend too much time. Didn't seem like too much of an upgrade to me over the original pixel that I have with the modded api 2 version.

Video stabilization and wide angle front facing camera was great!

I really wish google had a better offer for the pixel 3 at launch.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mammenj:
Anybody know if 'call screen' will work in India?

It's the main reason for pre-ordering it.

Edit: just cancelled the order because 'call screen' feature may not be supported in India.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funkym0nkey:
Really?

Like all features, it takes time for all new software, specifically language based features to roll out to all countries. It wont be supported at launch date, it will be later in the future and it will for a while at least remain pixel exclusive due to the extensive permissions and framework it needs which we wont see in other OEM phones easily.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] testimony:
Does anybody if we have RMA facility in India? Seeing all those busted ones over reddit makes me wonder if we can actually get replacements. Do third party vendors like croma or reliance allow exchanging if there’s any issue?

HTC services google pixel phones in India. I've gotten my pixel 1 main board replaced twice from HTC service center under warranty.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mammenj:
Yep, I am not paying a premium price for less features. Wish Google get their act together.

I don't see why it can't be supported for english speaking calls in India.

Anyway I will wait till those features come to India.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funkym0nkey:
Mainly because we are not English speaking country.

Most of telemarketing calls I get are hinglish at best. Very few callers actually speak proper English.

That's not even the point. Google was very clear that this is launching in US only. Not even other English speaking countries like UK are getting it. It was made very clear at launch event itself.

Local laws about recording transcript of a phone call by non human entity also needs to be checked. These things are bound to take time. Won't even be surprised if we get pixel 4 by the time it makes it here if at all.

---------- Post added at 11:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ----------

That's not the case anymore. Pixel 1 was made by HTC.

Pixel 3 isn't.

They have dedicated service partners for pixel phones now. They have tied up with B2X for door to door service. And for any major flaw they just swap the device. My friend's pixel 2 XL was recently replaced at his home without him needing to go anywhere. Smooth process. Just call them on toll free number, decide the time & engineer will visit you. Currently 40 odd major towns and cities have this service. For remote locations they have courier pickup and drop options.

In short, don't worry about service with pixels. Google is doing all it can to ensure you get premium service experience for the money we are paying in India. We get much better support than even US people here.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] GizmoFreak:
Don't think it records a call. And you cannot check the transcript once phone is disconnected. But I agree that there are many factors that needs to be considered before releasing it to other countries.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] anushtup:
Hey, me too! :D
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] m0h1t:
I'm seriously thinking of cancelling my pre order. I'm having a hard time justifying to myself buying a 71k phone when my pixel 1 is working perfectly fine.

The only real differences worth upgrading for in my opinion are front facing speakers, the improved photography (mostly the night mode) and the new wide angle front camera. Don't care much about the speakers and wide angle front camera while night mode is already out for the pixel.

Is there any other reason why I should upgrade?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrcet007:
Will I get paid out of warrant service in India for pixel phone purchased from Europe /US? Hope I can service my device if something happens and that they won't reject any kind of repair/service saying its bought from outside India. Has anyone tried this for Pixel 2?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] alkeshgamer:
Yea, even I want to know if the fabric cases are going to be sold in India or not. Really like the way it looks on the phone, totally unique and comfy too. Wonder if it has some cushioning to protect from falls.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] testimony:
Hopefully we don’t have to suffer from issues that plague US customers. Wish call screen was available on launch but India has a different language demographic altogether so it may take a while. The number of spam callers here though, is abysmal.

Anyone pre-ordered from the croma store before? How are they with their delivery timings and product complaints?
