Yep I’ve had a few updates from play services on my pixel 2XL. I will upgrade my 2XL in the fall as I’m waiting for the 6 pro and then I can decide if I want that or 5a. If the runours are true that the pro is getting a periscope lens then I’ll get that.
Nothing that having a friend on the other side of the pond can't fix. 50 dollars and I will go buy and ship one to you! ha ha.
If you really want something you can get. Before the OG chromecast launched in the UK I bought an imported one. I also bought the OG Gogole Home before it was released in the UK. You only have to go to ebay.
Thanks! But seriously, why does a global company of its size and clout not have a bigger phone sales presence?
It's not just Google either. There are lots of cool phones available on your side that we can't get officially. One of my favourite ones was the mi mix. Loved that device.
Probably because Google doesn’t want to actively compete with their own clients (the OEMs). Besides , hardware is not really Google’s main business. Similar to Microsoft and their Surface products. It’s different than Apple where the iPhone is their main revenue generator.
Right. iOS does it well. Android does it poorly on Google's own devices.
right then others in this thread that have the exact phone, 2017 Pixel 2, you mentioned have said they are receiving software updates. The Pixel 2 doesn't HAVE to get Android 12 to get all the features of the core Google apps. They are updated through the Playstore.....You know this so you are just being you.....misleading and difficult.
Alright, so you're dying on the "Google Play Services updates are OS updates" hill.
There are many people like him. I know one on android central. Whatever he has is the best and everything else is garbage. This weeks phone is the new pixel. He's getting that so his samsung FE is now instantly junk where he craps all over it. before that he had an iphone 12 and samsung was the devil, before that he had a nokia and iphone was junk. So FULL OF IT.
Yes it would be nice if they did 5 years but my guess is they went with the majority. I'd say not many people keep their phones for 5 years.
Mods in most forums are like a HOA in your neighborhood. Always go beyond their duties with ridiculous rules.Yes, I am serious. And it was for mentioning that people should just put a certain poster on ignore rather than feed into his nonsense. The same poster you were recommending people use it for.
I actually asked the mods my reason for getting suspended and they said the following things are violations of the rules here: calling someone a "fanboy" and "suggesting posters put another user on ignore".
I asked what I am supposed to do if they fail to prevent someone from repeatedly trolling and posting off-topic comments and they said "put them on ignore". So apparently you can use the ignore function but you cant suggest another poster use that function. Makes total sense right?
Oh and since we are talking about mods, this was fun. After talking about mods here a previous time I logged on to find out I was suspended. When I asked why, it took a few days for them to respond saying it was a mistake. I find the "timing" of that mistake really coincidental.
But yeah, I am about done on these boards. I get the mods are just volunteers but this place is not run well.
