I purchased a new (box was still shrink-wrapped) 1st Gen Pixel from an ebay seller. IMEI checks out. Battery was pretty much dead when I turned it on. I skipped through setup and found in Settings that it is running Pie.
The mfg date is October 2016 based on the serial number.
How could a new, unopened Pixel have Android 9.0 installed on it?
Lol
What price did you buy it?

It means it's not new, also you should be careful with the pixel early patch phones, such as October manufactured, I had one with the mic issue on motherboard, I believe after March 2017 patches were fine and didn't have a hardware fault after using for a while.

Is the mic issue something I can test for or do I just have to wait and see?

I don't think you can test it, it's a hairline crack in the audio codec within the motherboard, it will suddenly makes the mic and audio in general to stop working, hopefully you won't have this issue.

I have a feeling I might be one of the few that actually went with this option, but when I backed them, I ended up switching to the USB-C connector they added. Figured I would go for it based off all the Nexus/USB-C rumors, future-proof it. I'm just a little bummed I will have to wait till March at the earliest for it =(.

Yes sir I'm a backer. 2 USB micro and 1 USB c I'm waiting for. Looking forward to it. If they meet their deadlines I'll be surprised
I am, but currently its just the micro usb one. Im about to order the usb c version since i just pre-ordered the 6P.
I backed and it and bought 3 of the Micro usb and 3 Type-C ones. I haven't heard anything since placing my order a while ago.
They literally just sent an email after I posted

You say March is when you have to wait... am I missing something? I just pre-ordered a few of the Type-C ones off of their site and it says they'll ship in January.
Anyway, thanks for this thread because I originally backed the KS but cancelled because I didn't want to risk wasting the $$ for a few months of use with the Micro-USB before Type-C started to come out, and I completely forgot about these!
Those are pretty cool, might order me some

Hmm...just checked the kickstarter page again, it's definitely a march shipping date for usb-c, not sure where you're getting January from. No problem though =).
I had backed them, then dropped out because I don't believe this product will function well / as advertised, and I think it'll end up being crap.
But when / if I'm proven wrong, I'll pick one up
I doubt these will support 3A charging
They will.
I backed, bought 2 full sets of micro USB and 2 of the USB C type. I can use the micros as breakaways for my xbox one controllers.

according to them it doesn't inhibit speed/power as it is just a pass-through. we will see though. they said its compatible with QC2.0 but who knows about 3.0

If you pre-order from their website it gives January 2016 as the shipping date.

According to the information on their kickstarter, they will, but they could be lying of course. It is kickstarter after all.

Man, i hope so...realistic is April-May though.
I'm a backer too, bought 4 sets of micro usb, before I thought about getting the Nexus. Just added some USB-C, not sure when they'll ship.
I'm a backer too from the kick starter. I ordered 1 micro USB and 2 type C connectors.
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
Let's hope they at least deliver the micro USB ones on time because I need one for my Shield I'm using 'need' loosely here but I knwo the Type-C ones will take forever...
Hope they come soon. My Oneplus just ate through my 6 foot anker cable. Only lasted like 3 months.
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
i ordered usb-c and mini ones. They claim they work with QC 2.0 so decent chance the will work with nexus quick charge. We will see.
This product looks amazing, really hoping it works as well as advertised, and if so going to be buying quite a few. Probably going to Preorder a usb-c one tonight although I'm guessing it probably won't ship until end of 1Q 2016.
I got a Pixel 2 non XL, but the screen and a reddish yellow tint to it, so I contacted google support and sent it back for a replacement. I talked to support several times, and every time they said I would be getting a new unit since I had the phone for less than 15 days, but I saw this post on reddit, and I worried that they might send me a refurbished unit. Is there any way to tell if the replacement phone is refurbished or new when it arrives? I sent back the charger and accessories not knowing I was supposed to keep them, and support said that was fine since new phones came with accessories and refurbished ones didn't, but I read a post on reddit from someone saying they recieved a refurbished device, but it came with the accessories. I only had the phone for like a day, so I want to make sure the replacement I'm getting is new, and not refurbished.

They're usually brand new this early in production.

Can you describe it a bit more?

On a white page, the phone had a yellow tint, and then kind of a reddish or pink tint near the top of the screen.

I got an email saying that the replacement had shipped and it didn't say it was refurbished, and support said I would be getting a new one, so I'm pretty sure it will be new. I went to Best Buy today and looked at the Pixel 2 they had, and it also had a yellow tint, but not quite as bad as the one on the Pixel 2 I sent in.
Check out the pixel 2xl thread for more questions in that model

The cellular radio died on my Pixel 2, so they sent me a refurbished replacement. The display quality is no where near as good in the replacement. I'm really disappointed that the phone I had died after only five months, and they gave me a crappy replacement. Anyway I guess I just needed to vent somewhere
Got an Honor View 10 from John Lewis yesterday and was lucky I pulled the trigger yesterday because the price went up from £339 to £449 overnight. I haven't opened it but just wondering whether not having OIS is going to be a permanent thing and also is Bluetooth going to be updated to 5.0 if it isn't a hardware issue?
anyway Honor have answered me, Bluetooth is permanently on 4.2 as its a hardware issue. The OIS stuff they have forwarded to their R&D department.
same here, got it for 339£, have it unopened while I contemplate what to do next. johnlewis has an amazing 35 days return policy.
no eis update is a sure return for me
Who cares about eis... I make awesome videos just the same.
And they come out just fine.
I'm loving mine
Even put my s8+ in the desk drawer
It's like talking to parakeets
Squak Squak.. No eis Squak whaaa
Sooner or later it will be fixed
Go on spend 1000 sterling pounds dollars.
I'm laughing and making awesome videos

Ois so far has posed no problems for me, just have to remember that decent lighting is required for quick response of the camera, other then that the dual shooter is fantastic imo.
Can I ask the difference between Bluetooth 4.2 and 5.

bluetooth 5 allows you to connect 2 devices simultaneously e.g you can connect 2 bluetooth speakers and stream music to both of them. In 4.2 its one or the other, it will show there is 2 bluetooth headphones/speakers but you have to chose 1.

Please let me know if you decide to open yours, will do the same. I wish it comes with the EU plug it would work better for my ends.
p.s.
congrats on the deal, I was keeping an eye on amazon at £369.99 until it run out of stock.
Following day CPW had it on the website at £339.99 for 2 days, I was literally ordering it when the price went up to £449.99 I think it was.
Johnlewis luckily had it in stock at £339.99 and I pulled the trigger. I knew JL was going to amend the price and bam it did the following day, following CPW 's foodsteps eheheh.

yeah they follow each other haha. The note 8 dropped at CPW and bingo John had it at the same price. But anway, why so much emphasis on EU plug assuming u live here of course or u live in Spain lol
I will set mine next week when I go home, doubt would return it. I have read a lot of positive reviews and some neg but overall positives trounced the negatives.
I'm based in London but will likely move to Europe for work reasons within weeks
Are they worth picking up from the essential site for $49?
I like mine.

Me too.
Anyone has any for sale? Cheaper than 49? ?
It kills me how the $49 price goes up to $61.90 for me after shipping and tax. It makes me want to wait for the new ones that OnePlus is coming out with later this year. They have a DAC in them, so I'm assuming they'll work with the PH-1.
my first pair was defective that came with the device from Essential and they replaced them immediately. I wish they were louder, looking for a good decent DAC (portable).
My Zenfone 6 charging light started coming on randomly last night. The phone restarted and then gets to the Zenphone logo and automatically shuts down. I connected it to several chargers and it does not charge. I can enter the screen where yiu hold the volume up button and power button. I called asus support but because i bought the phone from hong kong the warranty is not valid here in the states. Any suggestions???
Thank you
get it the mainboard replaced out of warranty via asus or someone else and pay the fee wherever you bought it from told you in advance you wouldn't have a warranty.
Yeah, buying zenfone 6 without warranty with such poor quality control is a bad idea. Seems like your mobo died.

I own 'A' 8/256. I don't have any report concerning US models. AFAIK early models are mostly from 'A' region.
It works great for me but that doesn't change the fact many people are complaining here and on ZenTalk about different problems, most of them could be easily resolved via better quality control. Dying motherboards are just one of them. Some phones suffered from camera lens getting foggy, parts misalignment, some phones are heating more than others or one of sim slots didn't work. I believe those are early production models but you can get one with problems by accident and then what? I can definitely recommend this phone, just don't try to save some bucks from importing it or you can get into
serious problem.
