Contacts sync with Google easily. Just use the account function.

At least? Took me on every single one I had about 2 weeks. I'll hate on AMOLED as long as this shit goes on :P

The best app I've seen for transferring data between phones is Verizon's.

It's simple to use, works well and moves apps, media, contacts and anything else you can think of.
It's also capable of going from Android to iOS.

Hawaii media pads are decent screens and speakers.
Think a new one is suppose to launch soon too.

Amazing, how does someone not living in the US get this again?
So I am looking into this for my wife (and my Note 8)

Anyone use it? That is the brand I use for my Switch. I am wondering how it works with a case also.
Ot this one (leaning towards this one now)

both are dot matrix style ones with glue on the edges. expect lower touch responsiveness and rainbow effect at angles.
sadly the options are pretty limited for these curve screens.
So is it better to just get a film based to avoid scratching?
My bad, as someone who lives in a US territory and still gets shafted on some US only products, I feel your pain. I don't know of another way, maybe with root or something.
Check, They have a few full adhesive tempered glass screen protectors.
Yeah.
There is always dome glass which is dang expensive and the process is hilarious. Result is mixed but there isn't really many options.
Imagine if the phone manufacturers just went back to goddamn flat glass fronts for screens.
But of course the phone manufacturers aren't stupid, the reason for "3D glass" is so blatantly transparent, pun intended. If the phone is hard to get a screen protector on, most people will not use them, and when they fuck their phone up by shattering or scratching the screen up they will have to buy a new phone sooner.
This is also why phones have glass backs now, come to think of it. They love it when you shatter your phone, that's a new phone sale for them.

I have some liquid application screen protector on my pixel 2 xl. Doesn't feel the best but it protects it well enough from scratches
It's a good phone. If you want stockish android with a great camera it's the only option.
Heavily considering getting Pixel 2 through Verizon and just giving up root. I used to mess with custom ROMs and Kernels and stuff but for the past two years the only thing I actually use root for is adblock, and now that can apparently be done effectively without rooting. Plus if I get a Pixel I'll get regular software / security updates as long as I don't root.
Why do I need an unlocked bootloader / root?
Why do I need an unlocked bootloader / root?
I gave up on doing that shit years ago. Too much effort/issues for not enough gain.
Most everything can be done without the need to. Plus there are enough devices out there with different software looks that if you are buying a phone with the idea that you need to rom it I'd suggest just finding a different device to suit your needs.
Can't you do that without root by using something like AdGuard?
Not if you also want to use a VPN since Adguard takes over that function to do rootless ad blocking.
I will say I NEVER use the edge function on my S8+. Like it might as well just not be there.
I don't feel I'm missing out on anything either. Probably the most worthless feature for ME on my device.

Yesterday was my first, day trip after getting the Pixel 2 XL. Heavy phone use including watching videos.
Getting 6 hours SoT was amazing to see. Even if it ends up at 4-4.5 hours SoT in 6 months time I will be so happy.
And beautiful photos, everybody loves my camera especially combined with Snapseed.

Two questions... both sort of related.
1: Does anyone have a particular audio playing app they can recommend? I like Pi Music player, but it doesn't do gapless (from what I can tell). Poweramp was good, but I really can't get on with the interface.
2: On a related note, does anyone know of any audio apps that support Android Auto? I find Play Music to be complete garbage for listening to podcasts as you can't use the interface to fast forward / skip. Also, they've recently changed the interface, and now I can't find half my files through the car interface (I still can on the normal interface).

Seems functional at least. Not a massive fan of the way that you have to go back into the menu to select another downloaded podcast though.
New releases tab. The swipe the bottom bar right and then you can add stuff to a queue.
For some reason that wouldn't load for me at all when I was in car mode.
Thanks though, will set them up when I'm in normal mode and try to load it from there.

I've been searching for one since October. No luck :(
Does it move the app settings/saved configurations?

Well, I am getting a second dongle and an fabric case from Google for my Pixel 2 XL so I guess that means I am keeping this thing.
So far so good, loving the device so far.

So these USB-C earbuds finally came today after a month: https://m.ebay.com/itm/100-Original...Type-C-Plug-/272675022684?txnId=1901876239017
Here's the results with multiple Android phones:
Pixel 2 XL: only works when inserted upside down. Still sensitive - can be interrupted with a hairs push
HTC U11: works perfectly, no problems at all
Galaxy S8+: makes the music play 2x faster
OnePlus 5T: doesn't work at all
Pixel XL: works perfectly
USB audio is such a clusterfuck
