OK - where would I find that? (Hanging my head in shame for not knowing this existed)

Lol oh my bad. I thought you were just choosing to use the TMobile version. The Google one is built in to the Google phone app. Should be the last tab. You may need to disable TMobiles version on your TMobile account.

One thing I've noticed that's never been an issue on my previous pixels is the Now Playing feature isn't working. It says "waiting for unmetered wifi" in the settings. I have a mobile data connection and this feature isn't wifi dependent. Anyone else had this issue?

It’s in the voicemail pane of the Google Phone app unless you are using the T Mobile phone dialer.

I don't think I have a t-mobile phone dialer. I don't see a voicemail pane/tab though. Can someone post a pic?

DISREGARD... removing t-mobile's VVM app worked. Thanks!

I'm glad you figured it out. Yeah I thought I had that same issue until I removed the TMobile version. Then the Google one just popped up and started working.
 
My replacement Pixel 6 phone should arrive tomorrow. Does anyone with experience know how to tell if a replacement phone is new or refurbed? I tried all the different methods including entering my IMEI number into the https://imei.info database and I could not find any information whether the phone shows new or used.
 
Hi everyone. I hope everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving has a good one. I’m having just a couple of my husband’s family over. My mom is doing well recovering from her surgery. My health unfortunately has taken a nosedive so I’m not going to be able to keep up super great here for a while. But it’s got nothing to do with phone pwm problems and my migraines and all that. That’s been sorted. Thank goodness. I’m sure we are all sick of that drama! I’m actually really happy with the Pixel 6 Pro display.

Happy Thanksgiving, gobble gobble.

Hope you recover and do better soon.

To everyone here, happy holidays this time of year. I'm thankful we have a great forum of good people.

And yes the Pixel 6 Pro display is great, putting my SIM back in it today to test around more.
 
Had to tweak the settings on my call screening. I was waiting for a home service technician to assess my furnace (Lovely thing had a fan fault, overheated it's own firebox and filled my house with smoke).

The service plus system uses an automated call system to call you, and confirm you are home. The Pixel blocked these calls. Glad I had the notification light app to let me know it blocked a call, I had to dial back the settings a touch and thankfully I think I have good balance now.

Anyway, I am late to the party, but Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and hope you feel better @GrumpyMom!
 

tl;dw version: He gives Pixel 6 midrange phone of the year, Pixel 6 Pro flagship phone of the year, and Pixel 6 phone of the year overall.

This fingerprint scanner is fine 95% of the time. The 5% when I need to get into my phone, it doesn't work ?.
I'm generally happy with it but still waiting for this damn update to see if it improves any.

I've also just learned that you can look at a website with a recipe, and convert the ingredients by pressing and holding and tapping 'convert'. Amazing.
It was an American recipe, so all these weird cups you lot use that makes no sense AT ALL. ?
 
Kinda annoyed about the rumors of the smaller pixel 6a, feel that would've been my preferred device. Ugh, why couldn't they have released at the same time?
 
I tried one, and had to take it off. Fingerprint scanner hardly worked with it. Think I'm just going to use this one without a screen protector just like I did with the S10 plus.

The FP sensor is disappointing. It would drive me crazy if I didn't use smart lock to keep unlocked when my watch is connected.
