The Google Pixel Stand is an unreliable, expensive mess

13 January 2019
From lack of fast charging, buggy notifications to missing Live Photo mode, the list of issues is as long as the list of features.

It's as if the stand knew that fast charging would be harmful to that silly glued in battery of yours. You should take the time to thank your charger for having concern for your gadget.

            Google should focus on software and give hardware to other OEMs like they did with Nexus and even first gen Pixels

              Google needs to take a stand... Its high time, if google isn't stable with their own software then what impression will the other vendors get... I've been hearing a lot of issues in pixel devices lately...

                    AnonD-558092, 13 Jan 2019They don't need to improve or increase their Quality Checks... moreI don't even think that they have quality checks in the first place. Just look at their products, especially the hardware type of products, they suffer from quite a number of problems (e.g. Pixel smartphones). If they're going to further invest on the software side, please don't, use that money and invest on improving the hardware, or should I say quality checks

                            Google Pixel mobiles after their first iteration marred with issues after issues !! They better close down hardware division ! At least Nexus offerings were better with highly competitively priced ones. They can't charge premium like Apple or Samsung for sure!

They need one to begin with. I think the 3 gens of Pixels have proven the non-existence of such quality measures.

                                    Think of this.
                                    If the money Google invested on creating this Pixel lineup of mess is just used on improving the Android OS itself, then we might be having mid rangers that are part of Android One program already, or at least ALL Android phones in the world, be it budget, mid range, or flagship, are going to get at least 3 OS upgrades and 5 years of security updates.
                                    But guess what? Google only cares about the opportunties of making more money.
                                    I get it on a business standpoint, but trying to do something troublesome to many people in exchange for money is nothing but an upright crime and should never be tolerated.
                                    It encourages many companies to do the same, but thank God we have Huawei here to bring a major competition in, because if they didn't raise the standards, then our Pixel 3 devices might still be incapable of taking fantastic night time pictures with Night Sight.

                                      Pixel is one hot mess too lol

                                        Google overall is a mess, not only in its phone compartment.
                                        Regarding to their devices, I acquired the first Pixel for its camera and compact size. Others love the "stock android" but I couldn't give a toss what the UI is, more customisability is always interesting though.

                                        One of the biggest jokes I've come across on the device is the fact that Google Store can't download anything. It is slow, does not initiate the downloads and displays error codes one after another.
                                        It also signed me off of all Google Services after November patch and didn't let me in any of my accounts, gmail, YouTube, Store. Its own services on Google's own phone.

                                        My Chinese Xiaomi Mi A1 downloads everything and keeps me signed in. Never had any of these issues within a year - not even once.
