      "Google thanks all those users who are buying these buggy devices and letting them know about every single bug with these devices without even taking a single penny from Google as compensation. Google also says that this saved them thousands of dollars which otherwise would have been spend on reliable QA team which was supposed to do all these testing for them"

        Everytime I miss calls because of this issue... I thought it was a problem due to my screen protector... Hope google will send a fix soon for this.

          UnbiasedSonyFanboy2, 07 Jan 2018Because Pixel XL was made by HTC. Pixel 2 XL was made by LG... moreThat's the reason I replaced my 2 XL with Pixel 2 by HTC. HTC is waaay more reliable than LG.

            Running January security patch without any issues.

                This is normal for Google. Can't expect more than that.

                    Typical "quality" you would expect from Google and its products.

                        This is normal. Because everyone wants their updates super fast or else a company is slow and sucks.
                        And all the companies big wigs are just greedy a hats that have unrealistic time expectations.

                        This is why all phones ans updates come with so kany glitches and bugs...ALL being the key word.

                          [deleted post]Happens a lot here

                            Mata, 06 Jan 2018No issues on my Google Pixel XL. Everything is working fine... moreBecause Pixel XL was made by HTC. Pixel 2 XL was made by LG instead.

                              TheLostWanderer, 06 Jan 2018With all these issues, the users who got their Pixel 2 phon... morewhere is the upvote button gsmarena?

                                With all these issues, the users who got their Pixel 2 phones without OS should consider themself lucky...

                                  Google's main "feature" is issues with every update. Besides hardware issues.

                                  So go ahead, overpay a Pixel 2 so you can be lab rat for Google testing beta... ups *khm* I mean so you will always be the first one to get updates...

                                  Next coming up: Google follows Apple by slowing down Pixel phones...

                                        Good good. Serves them right for charging a premium on a midrange phone cause that's all this this is. Big disgrace to Android
