I finally decided I should complain about the almost weekly, and getting worse, networking issues (a reboot fixes it, though nothing else will). After talking to Google, they suggested I send the device in for repairs. “Uh… ok. How many spare phones do YOU have?” “Let me see if there’s an alternative”.
So they sent me a replacement, putting a hold on my card so I send back mine. Sure. I can live with that.
New (refurbished, I’m pretty sure) phone arrived today. Spent the day reinstalling everything. The bank apps are the worst…
A little while ago, while watching a movie at home, I noticed the phone was constantly (like every few minutes) rebooting. Sigh.
Guess I’ll be calling Google again tomorrow. What a pain.
I gave up on Pixels this year. I went through three or four within about two years. The main problem for me was that light falls would frequently result in completely broken screens, even in an otterbox. Then several small drops of water rendered the screen unusable. And then there was a manufacturer defect that was covered under warranty. I got it fixed for free, then it came back in three months. I was in and out of repair shops every couple months. Even with insurance and free screen replacements, I just couldn’t continue to live that way.
So yeah, I’m back to using Samsungs.
