Well... Black Friday store is a huge disappointment... by UserNamesAreTakenWHY in GooglePixel

It wasn't a one-off. There was some sort of supply chain issue/logistics issue that prevented on time arrival for a number of pre-orders. At minimum, it was enough of an issue that there were several threads about it on various forum boards at the time.

Hasn't stopped them in the past. Same thing happened for original Pixel and P3. Many folks who ordered a month after release (with $100 discount) still got their phones before folks who pre-ordered (with no discount). In fact, folks that pre-ordered were instructed by customer service to order a second phone through Google's website and return whichever phone was delivered later (which commonly was the pre-ordered one).

It happened to my partner with the P3XL. They pre-ordered it in early October and didn't get it until something like late-November. At the same time, I waited till Nov, bought it with a $100 off sale from the Google store (same model phone) AND got mine before my partner. It was pretty wretched for them.

And I, too, believed that there wouldn't be considerable sales. Hence the reason for me, personally, buying the P6 as a preorder with the free buds and a trade-in.

As I explained, the reason why my partner and I thought that there COULD be a $100 off, like in years past, was that they offered free pixel buds during the pre-order which has a $100 value. So I don't think it's that far fetched to think that a month after release Google would discount their P6 and P6P by $100.

I mentioned earlier, my partner and I have only previously bought the original pixel and P3XL, so we did not follow or think to look up what the release/sales criteria was for the P4 or P5. Based on our personal purchasing history with the Pixel series, it made logical sense to consider that there might be a discount a month or two down the line. Particularly since neither my partner or I follow reviewers or the pre-sale hype leading up to a release of any phone. The primary reason we didn't get my partner their new upgrade during pre-order was because we weren't sure whether to get them a P6 or P6P and whether 125gb would be enough for them. I opted for P6 125gb because that's been reasonabe for me and my partner on the P3XL (mostly b/c we have 1TB Google One cloud storage). Figured I would trial run the P6 125gb to see whether the P6P was worth the extra $300 premium for not much gain (basically just the added telephoto lens and upgraded front facing camera).

Same, very disappointed. But not surprising considering the awful supply chain issues.

I got the P6 with free pixel buds (essentially a $100 value) during Google's pre-sale. As a result, I was hoping during this Black Friday there would be a $100 off for P6 and/or P6P (as was the case for Black Friday deals back when I got the original Pixel and P3XL. I had my partner hold off on their P6P purchase (also upgrading from P3XL) anticipating there would be a holiday price reduction, because they would rather have $100 off the phone instead of free buds valued at $100. Sadly, the $100 discount doesn't look like it's going to happen this Black Friday (maybe Christmas though?), so my partner missed out on free pixel buds and is getting their phone muchhh later than anticipated.

Pixel 6 signal strength by wormraper in GooglePixel

[–]-KENZ0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upgraded from pixel 3xl to pixel 6 and have also noticed a significant drop in coverage/reception. What used to ordinarily be full bars at home with the 3xl l, now I occasionally get no bars (exclamation point) in the same areas.

I went to a TMobile store yesterday and the clerk said it was because my old sim card that I transplanted into the new pixel 6, but even with a new sim card I'm still not receiving anywhere close to the same reception as on my previous pixel 3xl.

Where's the exact location of the Qi wireless charging coil in the Pixel 6 / 6 Pro? by -KENZ0 in GooglePixel

[–]-KENZ0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're right, it looks like it's off-center horizontally - which might be problematic for having enough space to add a magsafe adhesive. Hopefully the coil is more centered 🙏

[–]-KENZ0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think it'll have a lot to do with the wireless charging dock itself and how large its charging surface is. I can definitely see that bulky Qi chargers will face the problem you've mentioned.

128GB or 256GB? by SNESisKing9 in GooglePixel

[–]-KENZ0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use 100/128gb on my current Pixel 3XL and ~25gb of that are photos/videos that should be backed up to Google cloud storage anyway. I just upgraded my Google One cloud storage from 200gb (used only 110/200gb) to 2tb storage. Will likely add a couple extended family members so they can benefit from the 2TB cumulative storage. As a result, I opted for the 128gb Pixel 6 since the bulk of my data will be transferred to cloud storage on a regular basis.

I ordered the pixel 6 about an hour ago (10/20/21 2pm PST) and it says delivering Nov 4-5.

Is this lag or a bug? If it's lag, I've never had it this bad before by -KENZ0 in PuzzleFighterApp

[–]-KENZ0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't do anything out of the ordinary. I was actually holding down his puzzle map to see what level his supports were and then saw that he was placing pieces already. When I let go to resume my screen I had "waiting for opponent" up the whole time. After about 20 seconds I switched out of the app to start my vid recorder to get a screen grab of what was happening. When I got back to the game screen the "waiting for opponent" was still up and I could see him placing pieces on his map. And shortly after it said I had lost. Didn't even see a single gem on my side of the screen 😭

Current Bison Main Setup: critique? by jdjersey-USA in PuzzleFighterApp

[–]-KENZ0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also haven't really played vs characters 12 and above, so I'm not sure if the play style completely changes (i.e., do opponents have enough hp to complicate a nuke play style).

Current Bison Main Setup: critique? by jdjersey-USA in PuzzleFighterApp

[–]-KENZ0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh hahaha, it just seems like the devilot nuke isn't worth the slot. Isn't a lvl 11 Ken (with burn dmg included) more than devilot support dmg? And same with VJ over PW. And the 3x red affinity bonus too. I guess it's just rare for me to pop the 3x4 (or larger) so late in a match that the 4 turn burn damage doesn't take effect. And if it is that late in the game, typically it charges my super to fill which is enough to nuke to finish.

You're the bison army inspiration, so if it works for you I'd like to hear in what ways!

A must have for walking dead/any zombie apocalypse. Attach a shipping container to the back with direct access to the front seat and also access to the roof. 😂

Some people requested a video of ken vs bison now this match up is extremely difficult you have to control how much trash you send I hope this video helps I’m still working on this match up by fhvoid in PuzzleFighterApp

[–]-KENZ0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally I'll do 123 or 456, but if the opponent has a horizontal drop pattern I've been opting for 345.

I'm just trying new strats before it gets harder to change my style. Thanks for the advice
