So when does Fi's WiFi handoff kick in when I'm out in public? With as prominent as login portals and secured WiFi networks are in places like Starbucks, what networks is Google keeping track of to automatically latch onto when I'm in range? I don't think I've ever come across an open WiFi network - even local coffee shops protect their network with a simple password. It's starting to seem like Fi's "aggressive WiFi tendencies" are just a marketing bullet point that doesn't pan out in reality. Edit: And I've enabled all of the necessary WiFi-handoff-related settings according to the Fi docs.

My first bill came in - I only used 494MB of data since December 14th  This was way beyond my expectation. The T-Mo data usage page used to say I utilized about 6GB per month, so I figured with cutting out some music streaming in the car while driving here and there I'd get it down to half that. Whether that was true or not (aside from not listening to as much streaming music in the car, I haven't really used my phone that much differently), Fi's going to save me a poo poo ton per month, about $55 compared to the unlimited plan I used to subscribe to. As an aside, I did the math and it turns out that if you stream music at 40kbps (for example DI.fm lets you set different streaming rates per data connection type), you only burn through about $0.17 of data per hour

Is there a way to force wifi calling for incoming calls? Sound quality is leagues better when I make outgoing wifi calls but incoming always defaults to the shittier-sounding mobile network.

Wasn't Google Fi's support pages at one point saying to not use Hangouts for SMS? I can't seem to find it right now but I swear I came across that a few months back so I just stuck with Messenger.

Is it just me or is call quality on Fi really lovely? Even when going from Pixel to Pixel, my girlfriend's (who's on Verizon) voice sounds like it's coming out of a tin can. I used to believe it might have been a combination of her old SGS5 + Sprint. Since she switched networks and phone devices, though, the fact that I'm still experiencing lovely incoming audio quality has me wondering if it's Fi to blame. Is decent-sounding incoming phone audio restricted to wifi calling?

Has anyone received the Android O update yet? I figured us Google fanatics would luck out and get it fairly soon after it was announced but nothing yet

The Pixel has the hardware to support all the major US carriers, but there would be any reason why my wife's Verizon Pixel wouldn't be eligible for Fi? I'm considering adding her to my existing Fi plan and want to make sure there's no special gotcha to consider beforehand.

Is the Snapdragon 630 in the X4 going to feel slower than the 808 in the 5X? I guess it really doesn't matter, I'm in the same boat as azurite so I should probably just trade the thing in. I'm still curious about the difference in CPU performance, though, since I've had it in my head that the 6xx series is kinda crummy compared to anything 8xx.

Is anyone here suffering from this issue? It started for me this morning and I thought it was the person I tried calling until tonight when I called a couple of other people and heard a recorded message say, "We are unable to complete your call at this time. Please try again later". Until it's fixed it looks like I'm stuck forcing T-Mobile, huh?

Those of you who preordered the X4 and traded in your 5X, have your trade-ins been processed yet? I sent my 5X in a little over two weeks ago but I'm not sure if the trade-in status screen I'm seeing means they received my phone: Step (2) Phone Not Assessed says the phone hasn't been received, but below that, under Condition when received it details the supposed condition of the phone when they received it. So which is it? I know the 4X's haven't shipped yet, but I just got billed tonight for it so it must be going out soon. I'm mostly worried the 5X got lost in the mail, I'd like some stronger indication that it made its way to Google as expected.

Anyone here using Hangouts to handle SMS? I've abandoned Pushbullet because it seems the developers have too and now I'm really bummed out about the inability to send out SMS from my desktop. I know MMS is hosed in general unless you participate directly from a phone, but I'm wondering if Hangouts is okay to go back to for one-to-one messages from my computer.

nocal posted:I use an app called Join to text from Chrome. It does most of the stuff pushbullet did. It's all good, though - I didn't really use actionable notifications anyway, so being able to send SMS from Hangouts is the perfect substitute for Pushbullet for me. fknlo posted:I'm just glad I'm not completely out of the loop by still using Hangouts. There's all those other options out there and I was worried I was on the same level as the really old people still paying for AOL.
