You're using Pixel 6/pro?

Hmm all these posts on battery and internet speeds are giving me some cause of concerns before buying one.

Funny cos I already bought a Ringke clear case and a Bellroy leather case before I've even ordered the phone hahaha.

I'm not really a flagship kinda guy as spending more than 3k on a phone isn't really my thing. I'm currently on the Huawei Mate 10 which has seen serving me well for close to 4 years now, but the OS has been too aggressive in killing apps recently. I've missed many SMSes because the notification is killed off immediately before I even notice I have an SMS.

Before that I was on the Nexus 5. AHH. Bought that in Australia for like RM 1.3k. Those were the times. Pity the phone could not last... physically. After 3 years it was literally falling apart. I was on holiday in Korea when the SIM card tray just broke. Kinda fitting that it died in its home land. I don't trust Korean products as I don't believe they are durable.

Yup for Pixel 6. Terracotta.

Yeah I pre-ordered from Shirogawa and found out later that if the parcel is lost after he ships it, it's the buyer's loss. Personally I don't think this is fair - if you're running a business for profit, it is the seller's responsibility to ensure the item reaches the buyer. Buy postal insurance and if the parcel is lost, refund the money and get it back from the post office/insurer.

I had to add on insurance as an additional cost myself.

Someone posted earlier to change the APN to unet for Maxis.

Did the box arrive sealed? I noticed in his description that he may open to the box to check the content first.

Ah thanks, I may get one from him.

My wife's Samsung S10's screen just starting acting up and permanently displaying a bright white portion near the bottom. So I may end up giving my pixel to her when it arrives and then getting another one.

Bloody Korean companies...their electronics never last in my experience.

There should still be voice calls right? It's just that without VoLTE, the internet would be cut off during calls, no?

The 2G network for calls would still be available?

It's just me and a few people I know really do feel that Korean made electronics don't last. Something with the overall build quality.

So sounds like the phone runs warm is a common occurrence?

Can't blame users if the phone has lots of bugs and isn't designed well. Google shouldn't be using us as lab rats and only releasing fixed after the fact.

I'm out of options for Android so I'll give the Pixel a choice. If it doesn't work I honestly don't know where to turn to...Xiaomi or OnePlus? Ugh.

Bellroy leather case but my phone isn't anywhere near in sight yet...

I can't deal with the aggressive app kills. I'm currently on Huawei (Mate 10, still on Android) and the aggressiveness is terrible, it feels like it's getting more and more aggressive as time goes on. Sometimes I don't even know I get an SMS.

I'll do this once I get my Pixel too. No harm submitting a complaint.

I also found this is on Google support. The telcos may need to reach out to Google about this. Unsure if Google will do anything as they don't officially sell the phones here, but again no harm trying.

I used to root my Nexus 5, and jail broke my iPhone 4 before that. But never since then. Tbh I don't miss rooting. I'm really just a normal consumer who just wants a convenient and decent phone to use.

Rooting really does bring one big extra step of hassle to the table. Maybe it much easier now...

Eh why does call screening need root? I didn't know that... Damn.

Why Google. So call screening isn't officially available in other regions where pixel is distributed too?

I want that as there are too many calls from banks and agents.

Write in to your Telco and MCMC. The more people do that the higher the chances of something happening...

What a bargain!
