Thank you very much for providing the much need info

dont think so but i remember there are 3rd party apps that can do the trick...need to pay tho hahaha

for other stuff...you can just use the dongle to connect your iphone to pixel . while you are setting up you will be asked whether to copy data to new phone or start fresh

Very good info. Thanks

techbug 2 years as well.

I think cant from icloud to google cloud, might need 3rd party apps, but not sure which.

Iphone backup to iCloud while Android to Google. You cannot restore through them
You can use either wazzupmigrator or backuptrans software. Both are paid software and works well

Thank you! Bro!

Don't bother wasting your time to Google to find the method. I searched for so long and the only methods that work are paid apps. I used wazzapmigrator. Works well

Just send my report to committee of the google on the lines running when start camera app....we might run into something..Currently im going recording on the screen for them to see....

P/S: had you tested the camera out door ? I had not seem the problem when testing outdoor...I suspecting it lighting strobe effect when tested in door

Techbug offer 2 years as well....My unit comes from Techbug

Received my unit from T&L
1. Packaging : Unfortunately not so good. My box dented in one corner because there's space for the phone box to move in the bigger box that the seller put it.
2. im coming from a nexus 6p. Upon opening the phone box, i am amazed with the build of the phone and how slim and slender it is...
3. blue tint - yes it is there but doesn't affect my view on the phone as most of the time i dont see it.
4. speakers : better than my nexus 6p for sure
5. battery life, i was able to get 4 hrs of screen on time with 20% left just out of the box experience. I have it connected to my android watch & samsung watch.
6. Overall, im very satisfied with my purchase except of the how it was shipped. It could been packed with newspaper to make it not move in the box.
7. Planning to apply clear coat later at mobile outfitters. Wondering if anyone applied skin after that on top of the clear coat. Or just go for skin from Dbrand.

Congrats on your spanking new Pixel 2 XL!

Does your unit have any black crush when viewing dark scenes in videos or any screen graininess when you turn your screen brightness to 5% (with adaptive brightness turned off) using a white background/wallpaper in a dark room?

5% brightness on pixel 2 XL is damn lower compared to other phones since it has the lowest minimum brightness I've seen hahaha. So maybe bump it to 15-20% for visibility and use

Thanks man.


Dont see any black crush when viewing dark scenes... i haven't tried the screen brightness yet. But i'll give it a try later.

Perhaps u can share a sample of the issue and maybe i can replicate it on my end

Sure. Just set a white wallpaper/image, lower the screen brightness to 5% - 10% and go into a dark room to see if you notice any visual banding, uneven light distribution, etc.

Below are some reference URL links to users who experience screen grain on their Pixel 2 XL units:

Indeed superb deal but was hoping he could directly deduct the phone price with the usd100 credit. Anyway, will wait till 12.12 before deciding coz promo deal extended to 15 Dec I believe.

Lol deduct the 100$ credit? Impossible la hahaha maybe you can try selling it yourself when you got it 😂

Surprised about this, thought it was only till end of November

Yea good idea also hehe....buy another set later to sell in garage

Apparently Google US extended their promotion.
