Here We Go Again, Return Time!! - Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion

Just received 2 hours ago, the first game I tried (Hill Climb Racing 2) and noticed I couldn't press the brake, like the screen had a dead spot. Sure enough I download Muti Touch Test and the display is missing many touches, but it's inconstant. Factory reset hoping for a fix but no dice. Thanks Google for sticking us with a LG display. BTW, I haven't seen the 3 XL but I can tell you for sure it does not look as good as a Sammy panel, my wife's XS looks way better. I would say it looks more like my V35, not bad at all, just not spectacular. Pissed because I had to send back last years P2 because of issue and here I go again!

Setup a return and I have to pay a $35 restocking fee so they can fix the device. Nice

How can you possibly be expected to pay for something under warranty?!
I just received my pixel 3 an hour ago and it has a small blemish on the back before I pulled off the plastic. I'm thinking about swapping it.

You haven't seen the 3XL but you're sure it's not as good as the Sammy panel? And your wife has an iPhone which also looks way better than the phone you haven't seen. What are you talking about? I thought you bought the G7? What's going on here?

It's nonsense, he bought a G7 too. Or only? As for you definitely swap it if it bothers you. Too expensive to be obsessing over a flaw. Unless it gives it character which might increase the value!

I haven't seen the 3XL display but it's a Samsung panel and it did just get the highest ever score by Displaymate for what's that worth. I am assuming the XL looks as good as my wifes iPhone XS or my brothers Note9. I can tell you the P3 I have has a display that is not on that level, it's good don't get me wrong, just a half step off, more like my V30 that I fell the display is a solid 8+.

Update, I called Google back and got a rep that took the restocking fee off. Offered to exchange but I didn't like the options. Send mine in and then wait for a replacement to be shipped, could take 2 weeks or advance replacement, credit hold on my card and ship now. Feel it's better to wait for a possible BF deal and go with the XL>

The back scratches way to easily, This is a dealbreaker, take a look at Marques Brownlee's video review as well as Jerryrig's video.
Don't they field test these phones!

This is actually incorrect - it's been proven that most of those 'scratches' can easily be brushed/wiped off.
I literally just watched a Tech Youtouber (Erica something or another) do this exact test, with her keys, and she gets rid of every single mark on the phone, despite scratch it with her keys.

After seeing this video, I cleaned my phone which was blemished right out of the package and now I'm regretting the phone I just ordered for replacement. Google was very kind and helpful though. I'll get the replacement device on a few days and send this one back even though it looks fine now lol.

Yeah, it looks like they phone isn't scratching, the softer objects are leaving behind residue on the phone's surface. Jerry Rig Everything briefly mentioned it in his video but never tried to clean off the marks.

Can someone with the P3 download and play Hill Climb Racing 2 and see if the brake pedal becomes inop during play? Really wondering if I have bad hardware of if it's a software issue. Thanks

Chrome peeling

Search in this forum isn't working and no results with Google so i will post it here. The chrome around the camera is peeling after 5 days. I have babied the phone since i received it and never put it on and hard surface so I have no clue how this could happen. I already had to replace the battery cover because the first one was scratched out of the box. time to return? I hate to have to keep exchanging and complaining at the store but paying full price for a phone and already seeing that this phone cant hold up is disappointing.

Just exchange it for a new phone unless you have an international version. I'm sure it's still under warranty. Exactly what response were you looking for?
I have a feeling this phone is extremely sensitive.
I got mine yesterday and I'm not sure if it came out the box with a nick on the bezel or I somehow did within the first hr trying to activate my sim because the folks at Walmart didn't.
But it's there, it's tiny, but it's bugging the **** out of me.
Hope I'm wrong, but I'm hoping a case helps out.
I had the S2 without a case, but this one is too slippery for me, I'm afraid I'm gonna drop it.
I would exchange it!!

Nokia charging stand is where its at

Hey guys. I just wanted you all to know that of the three options: Nokia Charging Pillow, plate, or stand. It's all about the stand! I've purchased all three and I wish I would have purchased the stand FIRST! I didn't know about it until after I purchased the pillow and the plate. The plate sucks because you have to make sure the phone is centered at all times, otherwise your phone doesn't charge or over heats or both. I've had bad experiences going to sleep and waking up to a beeping 120 degree phone. The pillow sucks because well for me it was pointless. It didnt help me in any way, I just took the plate out of the pillow and then it became a plate, which I just finished explaining. The pillow itself is a waste of money. The stand is perfect, you don't have to worry about your phone being centered because once its put on the stand it is centered. Anyways. To me, the plate and the pillow were mistakes. They should have only created the stand in the first place. Its perfect! I bought it from AT&T on employer discount for around $50, I think regular price its about the same as the others at about $65.
I got the stand used through Amazon and it does work pretty well. As others have mentioned though the NFC while working isn't in the best spot, and the phone can't be set horizontally either to watch videos or something. I'm sure there will be better ones down the line when wireless charging catches on.
Can you post a link to the stand, I see a ton when I google.

Well, you can't set the phone down horizontally and watch movies on any of the 3 can you? I just think that out of the 3 this one beats the other 2 hands down. And I think because it is always centered it charges slightly faster too. With the plate I am always wondering if its sitting on it correctly. Which is pretty annoying, especially if i pick it up at night when im in bed and i try to center it again in the dark...
Hopefully Verizon carries this thing online soon so I can use my discount. Otherwise it is fairly expensive especially since I plan to buy 2 or 3.
I also have the stand and agree it is the best option. You actually can get it to play and charge while horizontal if you don't mind propping it up on something. I have not been able to get the NFC to even activate and yes, I have it turned on in the settings. Maybe I am touching with the wrong spot on the phone. Can anyone discuss how this works?

AT&T had it last week and I bought one with my employee discount for $51.75 which is a lot better than $69. I tried to buy another one yesterday but it was out of stock. When it's back in stock I'll see if I can work something out with anyone that wants one. I could just buy it and have it shipped straight to you instead of myself. Paypal transaction or something. Anyone interested in something like that PM me

The NFC chip in the phone is behind the HTC logo, but it won't activate since the tag in the charging stand is for Windows Phone. You'll have to download an app called NFC Retagger to set the tag to launch an app or action
The NFC tag on the stand is on the front, on top if the little white light. I believe it says "NFC" in small print.
This confused me also, because I expected the NFC to be in the back if the stand, so the phone would see the NFC while charging. But, I don't know, maybe the current interferes with it or something.

Just to report back, NFC Retag worked for me. Easy to use and set up, works great with the stand and you do have to have the phone screen active and hold it sideways. Probably easier to just turn on the app but nice to know it works. This is new technology for me, other than the commercials of people tapping phones together I am not familiar with other ways this feature is used in everyday life but I am here to learn.
Thanks again.

[Q] screen not flush with metal

Let me start by saying I know am a bit ocd. The top of my screen is raised above the metal. Not a lot, but enough to notice every time I pull the notification bar down. Is this common with all of yours or a flaw with my unit in particular. I can feel the sharp edge of the glass when I pull down.
mine too. And there is scraping around the head phone jack hole.

Sent from my HTC One
My screen is very slightly raised at the top, very very slightly, and at the bottom it is lower than the spkr grille by exactly as much as it is above it at the top. I consider it to be perfect.
I have it too, it's one of those things that's probably a defect but I like. When I take it out of my pocket it's handy to be able to tell which side is the top with my thumb as I take it out.
On a side note though: I've unlocked the BT and flashed a recovery/rooted, I take it there's no way for me to return it even if I wanted to?

We have a 30 day law here, but the stupid companies have so weakened it that they can easily skirt around it.
the top of my screen is a little raised. not that big of a deal to me though. i doubt id be able to walk into an AT&T store to get a replacement since i have the 64GB version and i dont want to deal with the hassle of shipping it back to AT&T. plus i already paid for 2 years of insurance through ensquared.

Nexus 6P weak chassis confirmed.

Tl;Dr version:
Bought 6P for wife. Fitted a google folio case. Phone fell off table (like 3 feet) onto a lino floor. Screen and case unmarked, but chassis warped (can see silver stress webs near power button) and is stuck in boot loop.
Can't say I would recommend this phone. Build quality is miserable. Bitterly disappointed in it.

They initially refused - but agreed to escalate it when I mentioned SoGA. Gawd bless our consumer-friendly laws.
IF that fails I'll claim on our insurance, but honestly I want googz to take the hit here. Shipping a flagship which warps when dropped is not acceptable.
Simply lower grade, cheaper Aluminums been used.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I don't know..? Clearly the phone took a fall, and looks like it hit the edge of something in a very unlucky spot. I don't see this as a weak chassis, nor do I see it as Google's fault. I don't understand how Google made you drop your phone? I also don't understand why you think Google should take the hit? That's pure nonsense if you ask me. That's like me hitting a mailbox with my new car, and putting a dent in my fender. Am I supposed to rush to the dealer, and say hey... fix my fender because you guys made it too weak! Oh, and you guys need to take the hit! C'mon man, they would just laugh in my face!
I'm sorry that your phone got messed up, I really am. I do think its 100% your fault though. I also think that we can very well see that same kind of damage on just about every phone in today's market given the same circumstance. If Google takes the hit, lucky for you, but if they don't, they'll be doing the right thing IMHO.
Good luck.
Should of had a case. I would agree with WilliamStern. Aluminum is not a strong metal and especially since its on a phone, its going to be thin.

There's a warp at the power button there if you look closely.
OP is really unlucky but i think that this is really unacceptable as well, i'm not a fan of iphone but have to say i don't think it will happen to my gf's iphone 6s.
Currently waiting for my 6P to ship over so i really hope i don't get a weak phone that will bend/break just from normal usage and unfortunate drops.
To summarise:
1) not a ding. Was dropped on flat surface. No corners or edges present.
2) was in a case. Google supplied folio case.
3) chassis has warped at the point where the power button sits. Stress fractures visible as silver lines in aluminium. Not a cosmetic issue; power button is forced in.

If that sounds like a satisfactory product to you, fair enough. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I just watched this drop test video https://m.youtube.com/watch and it kinda looks like you might have got a lemon. I too dropped mine from approx 3ft on to a similar surface, mine was in an adopted case and the phone was just fine. Those kind of hard shell cases don't offer much shock protection.

I guess I'm surprised that you're getting grief from people about being disappointed in the inability of the N6P to take a shot. Of course we should do our best to avoid drops, dings, smashes, etc. But they are a fact of life and a good design is capable of taking "some" abuse. LG even has a commercial running right now showing one of their naked phones being dropped off a table with no damage. I am so careful with my phones that I am ALWAYS able to sell my old devices on eBay and get top dollar because they are in mint condition. In fact, I just got $100 for my old Nexus 4. But that doesn't mean I haven't had accidents. My Nexus 5 took a fall onto a tile floor, hit on the side and skidded across the floor - not a mark on it and 100% functional (yes, it was in a standard case and not some bubble wrap behemoth). I also would expect a new "flagship" to do the same.

Yeah I saw it and it looks like that's the point of impact with the floor or no?
That's why plastic is fantastic! Plastic can take a lot of abuse. I'm still struggling in making a decision which one to get 5X or 6P, battery life is important to me and i'd like an AMOLED over LCD but can compromise. But so far, if you have a look at 5X forum - they have no quality issues, in comparison with this forum where every second thread is something wrong with the build quality. Battery life also seems to be quite similar, especially after disabling encryption on 5X, although 6P would always have 30min - 1hour more SOT than 5X... Do i wait till xmas and see of 6P issues will be resolved or get a 5X as i've been rocking Nexus 5 with a smashed screen for the last 6 months waiting for new Nexuses to come out...

I highly doubt it's a production issue. More likely it's because cheaper aluminium is being used and that part is the thinnest part of the side on the phone. Huawei /Google aren't going to suddenly use a higher spec Alu, we'll just have to live with it.

I am guessing Google knew, hence the Nexus Protect option that suddenly materialized for this Nexus launch. I have been told that there are "production issues" (not sure if this is actually why..) when calling and inquiring about my missed ship/delivery dates for my PREORDER.

Being a Vodafone user, I have some insurance which comes with it. Raised a claim from them. Need to submit few docs. Let's see how it goes.. Is the touch sensitivity as fluid as it was in the original one. Broke my display in my previous phone but after the stock display is changed, the touch was not as responsive

Has anyone tried to replace screen from anything available from aliexpress
I just enquired with mi service center here and they charge a ridiculous rs 6133 for the screen replacement. Anyone have newer updates for a good screen.
Original screen for POCO F1
I thought the back cover could probably the first part gets damage, cause it's plastic. Sorry to hear that. You know you can check witrigs for the part, reliable, and they always sell original parts. Original is the most important thing for cellphone repair for me. Hope this can help you。
Hi,
@Kaadyep
Mine was broken as well. I ordered one on Aliexpress. Seller is Trafalgar (can't post link, rating is 4.9 at the moment, at 100 orders) and cost around 30-38 USD inclusive tools.
Fits perfect and work without issues and no bleeding. The included tools are ok, just the Torx is not fitting. Open the phone is easy but the display is glued. Since the display was broken anyway, i just used one of the included plastic clips and push it under the edge of the broken display, go one round and then you can remove it. The phone still need to be fully disassembled since the flat cable is under the motherboard and battery pack. After that I used very thin double sided tape on the edges to glue the new one in. That is 2 weeks ago and no issues.
Hope that helps.

Can you give the Manufacturer details?

Have anyone here tried shatterfix.com? They replace it at a cost of 3500 inr
Is it just me or does the screen seem excessively fragile? I have heard many stories of broken screens from really short falls

The Manufacturer in the System Details shows "dsi_tianma_fhd_nt36672a_video_display". Not sure why it's named fhd cause the resolution is the right one (1080 x 2246 pixels).

WTF, the quotations were a ripoff (to me atleast) but you can save like half and install it on your own if you buy online from China.

It could be that the FHD only denotes the 1080 part then the other would be dependend on the aspect ratio. You could say that a panel is FHD but the ratio might be 21:9 (ultrawide), 18:9 (for smartphones), 16:9 (regular), etc.
poco F1 screen reppacement is not so hard
any one can easily replace poco F1 screen or you should visit nearby to get fix , it will cost you 2300 to local market ( good quality screen)
