@@crypts761 I returned my 3 xl and got a note9, the 3xl was way over hyped not worth the money. Just do yourself a favor and get the note 9, you won't regret it.
I've been contemplating the Pixel 2 XL, after this video I am placing my order. I have a Note 8 and a iPhone X. The Note 8 screen cracked and its $650 to replace the screen where I live, so I bought the iPhone X. But that phone as cool as it may be just lacks 80% of the things I do on a regular basis. I can't use apple pay anywhere (the store said it works at Coach and Starbucks, I don't go to either of those places) my Samsung watch works for pay every single place I have ever gone if if they use 10 year old tech, as it sends out a magnetic field. I can't track sleep with the apple watch, the phone cant pay anywhere except cvs, the screen is really small, smaller than the 5.5 iPhone 8 plus and I like larger screens. Apps look better on Android, use to be the other way around, not anymore. I cant even control my house or even the temp in my house from the apple phone, I can do that with voice on google. I would get the Note 8 again, but if I'm going to spend $650 on a new screen I figure just buy a new Google phone as my Note 8 as much as I love it never updates. Thanks for your video, you made my life easier :)
Definitely not. But i got used to it quickly. The software experience makes it worth it. I'm coming from a S6 Edge and it's a noticeably worse screen as far as color reproduction and saturation go.
Do not enable the triple tap for magnification! I just got a pixel 2 and I thought it was already laggy and unresponsive. Turns out the triple tap puts a few 100ms delay when you tap to see if it's going to be a triple tap. It's a good feature, but could ruin the smooth and responsive feel of your pixel.
Chris Emerick How do you actually change the icon shapes? Where in the settings can you find this? I've wanted to modify it without a 3rd party launcher but I can't find the setting. I believe I've seen the option on the first gen pixels but not the second gen
Stephen Lewandowski Activate developer options by clicking the Build number, then go into the stock launcher settings. Forgive me if I am wrong, but there should be the adaptive icon shape setting there
Stephen Lewandowski once you activate the developer settings and you don't see the change icon shape in home settings,try turning the dev settings off then on again. Sometimes restarting the phone helps too
The Creeper Universe - HD Gaming And More! Thanks! I didn't think of developer options. I enabled them and the option appeared in the launcher settings
Three and a half years late, I'm going to switch from an old school flip phone AND take your advice at timestamp 3:19 I love it 😂 Thanks for all the great tips. I'll be using some on my brand new old Pixel 2 (not XL) when it arrives later today with no blue. Even if they really did fix it later.
nice one. I like the humor. thanks for all your work. I'm glad the pixel 2xl has a less than stellar screen cause I just ordered a mint on from ebay for under $300. I'll almost never even see the touch of screen burn and I'd not have been able to afford it otherwise. I want that camera :)
Is there anyway to customize the phone so the volume buttons or power button can immediately silence a notification/ringtone? In order for me to do so, I always have to unlock the phone and then open the app(text message/whatsapp/phone call).
***HELP PLEASE!*** I have a strange issue with my 2 XL. I keep getting notifications when i am streaming RUclips via Wifi, and it is extremely annoying. I mean for doing anything in RUclips, like if a click to watch a video it plays a notification or if i was to click play, pause or stop i get a notification - Sound and vibration. What actually happens is this. So i'm streaming a video to the Chromecast. If i were to click play for another video my phones beeps and vibrates and a message drops down from the top of the screen for a few seconds, the one that says 'now playing on (insert chromecast name)' and also shows the name of the video as well as a small thumbnail of it. when i click play, this message keeps dropping down from the top over and over again so i will get about 4 or 5 notifications just from pressing play. Same thing happens if i pause a video or stop one. The only way that i can get it to stop is to turn the notifications for RUclips off but then i don't get genuine notifications like when i get a new video or a reply to a post ETC. I don't want to do that as i want to know when there has been some activity in my RUclips, whether it be a new subscription video or whatever. Strange thing is, this ONLY happens when i am streaming to chromecast. If i stop casting, these notifications stop immediately. Anyone have any idea how to stop this because it is driving me nuts. I shouldn't have to hear my phone beep and vibrate 5 times just because i have pressed play on a RUclips video. I don't need to be notified that i have just pressed play a split second after pressing it. Pressing play, stop or pause is not a notification from the app so why is the phone acting like it is? It seemed to be directly related to that little message that drops down from the top of the screen that says 'now casting on XYZ', and 'now playing' along with a thumbnail. When pressing play on a video this will appear several times and every time that it does i get the audible and vibration notification. As said i can stop it by turning the notifications for RUclips off but then i won't get genuine notifications showing up. How do i stop the phone from recognising that little message with the 'now playing' on it as a message from the app that requires a notification?
Adam Danilowicz Yeah I had a look at those settings and as far as I can tell they should only apply to notifications sent from the app for new videos or replies etc but that message that appearing at the top of the phone that says the name of the Chromecast it's connected to and the name of the video you're watching appears to be an android system notification rather than a RUclips one so I have no idea why my phone beeps and vibrates when it happens. Just started out of the blue. I'd been using it for about a week prior to that with no issues then it just suddenly started, but only when casting. Doesn't happen if you just watch a video on the phones own screen.
I was considering a 5T or S9 Plus, but I found a Pixel 2 XL 128GB brand new for £599, which isn't much more than a 5T so I pulled the trigger on that deal.
+Call Me Candy Man soo far soo excellent. i would recommend it anyone no matter from which Custom Skin or OS they are coming. its the best phone ever made. only thing i wish could have been better is if the phone would have been 5.5 inch instead of 5 inch.
Red Hood If you like updates, Sony, OnePlus, and Google do these the best. If you like features and reliable hardware, Samsung is the way to go. There's also LG, pretty good devices this year. And I'd say don't get an iPhone X because it is a first generation device, you'd save more with an iPhone 8.
Red Hood If you really want an iPhone get the 8 plus. I returned my X cause it had to many cold weather problems were I live, no such problems with my other phones S8 plus and HTC U11. Note 8 is a beast though...
Omar Lynn - Are you trying it with RUclips? It wont work for me on RUclips either so i googled it and apparently it doesn't work on YT unless you have a red account. I tired it with Netflix thought just to see if it actually worked and it worked just fine with that.
I do like the Pixel 2, it is a good phone but I settled on a OnePlus 5T and love it. I just cant see spending a thousand dollars on a phone thats outdated in a matter of a couple of months. Even OnePlus is guilty of this with the 5.
I can agree with that! I did have to "settle" on my carrier. I had to go with Straight-talk but it's working out good so far, so I'm pretty happy. I'm guessing that CDMA licensing must be expensive?
Accidentally triggering the double tap action... HA! 99% of the time you have to almost punch your phone with all your might to get it to turn on. That's I've thing I give to Apple. I pick up my iPhone X and boom, the display turns on. Tap the screen, it turns on without any lag.
jamiesh American English. Some pronunciations tend to be slurred. Similarly, "should have", "must have", etc. Tend to sound like "should of" and "must of" when pronounced by an American.

Glad to see you here Jerome. You're content is great
The difference between boosted and saturated is nuts
Ian Smart I loved the boosted color
camera hal hdr thing isnt there anymore
Love my Pixel 2 XL. Got rid of my Galaxy S8 for it, and don't regret it.
DeadofWinter321 did the same
same here, had the s8+. ridiculous how you notice the slightest lag on other devices once you go stock.
fuck off
Mick Harrison You look like one. ;-)
Thebe - How about you? Thx!
Spot on with the ending. I switched from a 2XL to a 2 and it's perfect.
I just ordered a 2 XL last night. I hope i win the screen lottery.

I couldn't find the HDR camera on developer options
im so excited to get my hands on a pixel, it comes in a few days
Glad Jerome is here !
I wish I could rearrange the navigation bar back button and the recently used apps button. Also being able to change system font would be a plus.

Perhaps look at the youtube settings. Also, try and swipe slightly right on the notification in order to go to the notification settings for that app.
