@tmc thanks For the info, I thought it was just used for attention whores that wants their friends to know where What and why about them like anybody really cares.

- feeding the dog then going to the grocery store

- talked to my BFF now im taking a nap

- got into a fight with mike whats wrong with him?

- board!

- eating a burritos and rice, hit me up!

- going drinking at O'mallys hit me up!

- at o'mallys drinking a spritzer

on and on and on, I have friends who are like that on myspace, they seem to update their status every 15 mins. Im sure they already know about twitter.

Maybe im just getting old to think its just retarded haha.

I have been using Twikini for the past couple of months, it has been working awesome. Fast, very low memory usage, multiple accounts, etc. It is not free, but $4.95 is cheap, plus you can get an additional program from them included in the price. I bought Twikini and No Calls, their call filtering software, also works like a charm.

Just curious what people's thoughts were
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Digital DJ:
I got one yesterday after the live event and put it in my cart then I realized I can't justify $946 for a phone that has a few better features than my GP2XL. I love my Pixel2xl and spending that much money for essentially a better camera, graphics, and processor (none of which are THAT important to me) doesn't make sense to me. So I cleared my cart and bought a new case for my GP2XL instead for $11 on Amazon. Like Pixel 3, the Pixel 4 just doesn't wow me enough to spend that kind of money. I am not a astrophotographer so that doesn't matter to me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] biggiestuff:
I will eventually but waiting for a better deal than just 100 off. I was disappointed by the value of trade ins but I'll probably hold onto my pixel 2 until the photo upload promo expires.

Things I'm looking forward to on the pixel 4.

1) snappier performance with hopefully better memory management

2) the faster Google Assistant with continued conversation like feature. I'm a heavy voice command user and cutting down on the amount of times I say the launch phrase will be welcomed.

3) wireless charging. I think it's time for me to get it back now that my family is all on wireless charging. The pads can be used for multiple devices now.

4) better display. I've gotten used to the pixel 2 display but always long for more when I look at Samsung or apple OLED displays.

5) soli seems a bit gimmicky but if it allows me to change songs in my car without having to touch it, then that will be huge for me. Easier than me having to buy a new car or a new head unit.

Things I worry about

1) that face id better be damn good. Smart Lock is starting to get wonky. My watch doesn't keep my phone unlocked at all times like it's supposed to. Keeps saying locked manually.

2) original photo upload. It's something I think won't miss until it's gone. Sharing albums with friends and not having it compressed takes the sting out of not having something like iMessage which doesn't compress photos. Now i have to figure out a different way to share the full quality pictures with them

3) battery life.... ALWAYS BATTERY LIFE!

Nope I bought 2 refurbished 2xls so I'm set for the Long haul. I despise glass backs.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] steviemch:
I was going to order last night but I'm honestly just not that impressed with the specs. Think I'll keep my XL2 for another year and just save some money.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CyberpodS2:
Yup
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] murphyjasonc:
I couldn't bring myself to buy the Pixel 3 but I bought two pixel 4XL's yesterday. I debated hard about doing it because there really isn't anything wrong with my 2XL and it does everything I need it to do. I'm the person that upgrades every year and in the end I just couldn't go past two years without a new phone. I might kick myself later but what can you do....lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shanks:
Nope, no upgrade for me,i had it in my cart and cleared it the moment i realized it doesn't have a fingerprint scanner, I'm ready to upgrade but not to a phone without fingerprint scanner
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sportytony:
I too, was going to get it as I figured hell, it's a pixel 4xl and will be perfect to work with especially here in these forums. I even had it ordered for a full day, but alas, today I cancelled it as it simply is too much for not good enough specs. I do believe in two days I'm going to order the one plus 7t. (Just my thoughts)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Yep. Do I need it? Nope! Am I looking forward to trying something sorta-kinda new....you betchya! I don't buy much stuff ever, but every 2 years, I treat myself to a new device :good::cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pa.pn2:
I think i also keep my pixel for another year.its still a solid phone with good bat life and an awesome cam.

I just received a complete new pixel from Google cause of warranty issues .and this after almost 2 year's haha.

This time i will stay a bit on pie because 10 ****ed my phone up somehow before.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lywyn:
Yes, Pixel 4 XL. Way better camera, best display on the market, onboard AI no need for data connection, live transcribe, motion sense, fastest face unlock, faster CPU, 6GB RAM and afree chrome book. Let's be honest most of these features cannot be backported to the Pixel 2, maybe some camera tweaks. The transcribe required the new AI chip and service so unlikely. And my Pixel is starting to show it's age, likes to stutter a little now and again.

Many people moaned the Pixel 2 only had 4GB RAM, so there's a reason for them to upgrade.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] youssefkr:
Can't see why upgrade honestly, I only got the phone a year ago, and it's performing pretty well.

But pixel 5 will be a day one buy that's for sure.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ne0ns4l4m4nder:
Damn I'm glad I'm not the only one with a p2xl, thought I was slacking on my new tech. I really just love this phone! XD
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] wolfeyes30:
Same boat as Badger50. I ordered one with delivery of next week. If it doesn't wow me, I'll return it and probably get the OP7T. If the 7T doesn't do it for me, then P2xl lives on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Pre-ordered it immediately when the Google Store was refreshed. I thought about doing the trade-in and even ordered the box for it but I think I'll try my luck with Swappa instead. I'm sure I'll get more than Google's $143 offer with all the cases and accessories I have.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sharkie405:
I'm still undecided on whether I'm going to get one or not. I'm still using my pixel 2XL, and it performs just as well as the day I bought it 2 years ago, no joke. I skipped the 3XL--no explanation necessary. I was thinking I might wait and see what the 4A looks like when that comes out, but I'll probably cave in and get the 4XL eventually. However, I'm not pre-ordering it or even thinking about actually buying it until I see that root is available for it. I pre-ordered the pixel 2XL and it royally sucked to go without root for the first few weeks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] merdely:
Exactly what I was hoping with the P4 when the P3 sucked. What do I do when the P5 sucks next year. I'm starting to consider an iPhone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
1. It's looking very fast and even though right now it's able to unlock with eyes closed (not a big deal for me) I'm sure they're working on adding an eyes open option. It was in the leaks.

2. High quality is plenty for average people but One Drive is super affordable. 100GB for $20/year isn't a lot at all.

3. Really curious how good/bad it'll be. I used to get as much as 7-8 hours SOT my first 6-8 months with my Pixel 2 XL.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] biggiestuff:
I'll wait until black Friday to see if there are any deals
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Well being your Pixel 2 XL is only one year old you're fine but mine is coming up to 2 years October 26 and battery degradation is very real on it. I can get through a work day fine but on days off, I definitely need to top it off once maybe twice.

I stopped rooting after I got my first Google phone which was the Nexus 5X. I realized I only rooted my older phones for the cleaner Android experience and that's what I already get with Pixel phones. What do you use root for still?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Langduscher:
I still root for AdAway. Haven't found a better non-rooted alternative yet.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] StevenBX:
I'm not sure yet. I think I'll wait for reviews, but so far I'm kind of thinking I might wait for the 5 as my 2XL is still going relatively strong - the battery's degrading a little, and the white coating on the back is bashed about a bit but it's otherwise fine. I kind of feel like the 5 may be a more significant upgrade given the very recent serious competition from the new iPhone's camera. Right now, the camera would only be a fairly slight upgrade. I do like the look of Motion Gestures for skipping tracks while driving, but otherwise it doesn't seem too compelling. Having said that, if the reviews are great and there are decent discounts a little later in the year I might reconsider.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
I've been reading a lot of Twitter posts with Pixel 4 pics and the camera improvement over the 2 XL looks way more noticeable than it appears.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Cowbell_Guy:
one plus 7T better in every way
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Benjamin_L:
Getting a new battery seems a cheaper alternative ;)

We need to see what gcam 7.1 brings for us. There seem to be many changes
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
A new battery is cheaper but you lose the water resistance and I'd rather put the $100 or so into a new 2019 phone than an old 2017 one. These devices aren't like my car which I want to keep running for 10+ years. Plus I never keep a phone more than 2 years. I'm no different than someone who just leases cars and swaps every few years.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] localceleb:
Besides camera quality.... Which is why a lot of people like a top tier phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
People rip on the Pixel not doing 4K 60 FPS but the 7T doesn't even to 4K at all. [emoji2371]

Correction:

It doesn't do ultra wide at 4K yet. My bad.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] localceleb:
I don't even understand peoples obsession with camera "stats". I bet 95% or greater will never do anything with those photos other than post them to social media or view them on a computer screen.... What does a normal consumer even need a 4k personal video for?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Very true. It's just a pissing contest. [emoji23] Someone should make a meme of how blown out of proportion it is. Like "iPhone 11 user mocks Pixel 4 for no 4K 60 FPS. Continues to upload vertical videos to Instagram." [emoji1787]
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pbman1953:
So I see many of the newsfeeds telling P2 owners that it's time to upgrade. For me I'm about performance and I'm kind of peeved that P4 doesn't have 5G. I don't know much about 5G but it seems that we'd have to wait for the P5.

My question is , if I . decided to go get a phone with 5G, which one?

If I decided to get a P4XL and since I'm with Verizon wanted it soon ,I'd wait for the specials that have no trade in. This way I could sell my P2XL. I'm thinking that sale would be around Christmas or into the New Year. All you for a while are the 2 for 1 but you have to add a new line, don't need that. Or money off with a trade, I won't do that either. I'm wondering if I should go back to Samsung with a s10 Plus. 5G. LG ThinQ?

Decisions.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] skip24ftlb:
Ordered the pixel 4, tho not with any excitement !!!

Dismayed with Google not even giving an audio dongle this time. That's wrong imho.

My 2xl came with one. The Mrs p3 came with headphones.

Cannot get the pixel 4 in orange with 128gb storage which was my initial choice so gone for 2nd choice black.

The biggest worry I have about the p4 is battery life. If it doesn't manage 17hrs with a couple of hrs of talking, an hour of surfing and searching for a phone signal for 8-9 hrs when on the road it will be going back in the first week.

There is so much attention being paid about the face unlock and 30fps in 4k.. Personally I thought the position and how fast the finger print reader was, was spot on.. Google nailed it.

As for 4k 60fps, it's not a deal breaker for me personally.

As for soli gesture controls.. time will tell, but at present it's wasted on me...

Nobody is mentioning the volume either in the first hands on reviews. My Mrs p3 is noticeably louder than my 2xl.

How much difference is the new speaker setup going to make ??

Waiting to see what it's like when it's in my hands, however at present I cannot say I have any real enthusiasm..

I may keep the 2xl for another year if I'm not happy with the p4. It's been a great phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lukearthursykes:
I'm on a Panda 2XL I just traded for, and I'm torn. I want the 4 or 4XL, but I want to take some time to figure out whether a carrier AT&T one will be better (enhanced messaging since RCS isn't universal yet in the US) or buy an unlocked one for the obvious advantages. Gonna keep calm and not pull the trigger too fast...maybe. :laugh:

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

I really like the LG V40. If I would have bought unlocked I probably would still be using it as my driver. There were just a few customization tools I would have liked to add. I REALLY notice a difference between it's 5GE performance vs the Pixel 2 XL I'm now using. For me though, the advantages of the neural core (less reliance on good data connection to use Assistant) and Soli (face unlock and approach recognition mostly) will make the 4 much more compelling than any other phone, even with the lack of 5G.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Unless you live in Kansas City like me! Then 5G of any significance won't likely happen until 2025! We all are a might slower here in the Midwest! Which is more than fine by me ??
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] HeroPlane:
Bought my 2XL 128GB in June 2018 for 500$

If I can find a good deal like this on a Pixel 4 XL later this year, than yeah, I might upgrade

This 2XL is definitely holding up, especially with that camera that is still as good as today's flagships
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] andy6685:
I'm seriously looking at the 4XL, but want to wait and get some real life comparison and reviews from users here before I sink a ton of $$$ into one.

My 2XL still runs really snappy and does everything I need it to do, and it doesn't cost me a cent :p
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] adam_pl:
The same thing pretty much. My 2XL ist still running good enough for me, but a nice deal for 4XL could make me upgrade. I'm hoping that Amazon will have such deals after Christmas. That's how I got my Nexus 6P, it was missing a retail box and the price was ~30% off.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
With a bigger bettery this would've been a good sell. I want a phone which will last me a full day with heavy usage. The next phone I'll invest will have that capability. I don't want to limit my phone just because I'm traveling or can't find a charging point.

Google made a **** decision with pixel 4. Seriously they messed up big time. I saw the live event they weren't confident while talking about the camera. Google had 1 year and they pooped big time. Soli is not a highlight feature it's a stupid feature with only good requirement of getting the phone to wake up as soon as you are reaching it.

Where the hell is Ultra wide camera? And why still an 8mp selfie shooter. People take more selfie these days then anything.

This phone can be made in a month because they didn't put any thinking while making it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] simonali68:
In a word; no. Still running the 2 XL and did add myself to the waiting list for the Orange 4 XL but backed out again for various reasons. They are:

1. The orange turns out to be more salmon pink and I don't want a pink phone.

2. The camera looks amazingly good, as always, but what's the point in having it with nowhere to store all those amazing photos.

3. This phone has gotten pretty annoying over the couple of years I've had it and I don't want to chance that continuing. It has screen burn, tells lies about its signal (says 4G - no internet!), there are many bugs in the software etc.

4. I don't like the idea of face unlock being my only option for security.

Gonna try a OnePlus 7T Pro. Looks better, cheaper and more onboard storage.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gakzilla:
Agreed. I stopped rooting my phones once I got my Nexus 6. RE: AdAway, have you tried looking into DNS66? I've been using it for about 2 years now and it's pretty lightweight.

I've tried Blokada & DNS66 - but both don't compare to AdAway. The latter completely removes ads whereas Blokada & DNS66 only grey them out.

I've been using Google phones for the last 6 years. Nexus 5, 6P, 5X, and P2XL. I was really looking forward to the P4XL, while maybe I can understand the design of the phone, I cannot forgive google for not including an ultra wide lens. There's no excuse for not including one in 2019. Congrats Google, you've officially become the very thing you swore not to, Apple. Oh yeah and no more unlimited original photo upload.

OnePlus 7 Pro, here I come!

At first I see no reason to get the Pixel 4 XL, because the Pixel 2 XL is serving me super well camera battery the only thing that could be better is the LG OLED screen is not very good. But overall not worth spending money on Pixel 4 XL.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Well I got my Pixel 4 XL yesterday and have no regrets. It was exactly 2 years to the day that I got the Pixel 2 XL. It's definitely the best aged phone I've had and still runs well. The next person to own it should still be pleased with it except for the battery life which is far from what I used to get even a year ago.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] krolla03:
Even longer for me Galaxy Nexus Nexus 5 Nexus 6p Pixel 2xl. Skipped the Pixel 3's as they were "eh" compared to the P2XL. Was excited for the P4. Buts weird its like i like it but i want to hate it. And i hate it but i want to like it.

The design (from the back) looks awesome ive always loved Googles White/Black color scheme. But when you look at the front im completely turned off. I dont mind a chin or forhead as long as they are the same size and no bigger then the P2XL's. I much much much rather of had a bezeless , bezeless/notch (dont mind Oneplus's screen design) then the stupid radar chip. And i much rather of had an inglass fingerprint scanner rather then again the stupid radar chip.

The cameras i dont really care that much about. They all take wonderful normal take my phone out of my pocket open camera and shoot photos. All the extra astro and portrait super res bleh bleh is all really impressive but i use it maybe 1% of the time i take photos. And it all gets ported (already has) to the older models anyway its not so much the camera model in the phones as it is the software that runs them. The screens on the PX2XL onward have all been crap. Looks like the P4 is no different.

But id be willing to look past all of that if the phone was (and what i honestly feel its worth) $700 (for the XL)

But for $1000 and to ask more then the iphone. For this?!?! nahhh

I think if needed to buy a phone right now id go with the OnePlus 7 Pro. But for now ill hang on to the ol P2XL. Maybe see what blackfriday brings.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] peoplesindian:
I got the 7 Pro.

Now this feels like an upgrade! OOS is pretty nice too, but I'm pretty sure in a month I'll root and pixelize the phone lol.
