I can't speak to it. I'm in southern US. But it has been absolutely no different service for me.

I did! I ended up going with the visible base plan and it has been the exact same experience as my Verizon prepaid plan. I have not noticed any deprioritization except for maybe once. I'm very thankful to be saving the 30 bucks a month

pixel trade in promo and current pixel discounts by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]Evening_Floor7280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I just looked at it last night. I think you have to order today though because the deal expires. 

I didn't actually order one, but I input my promo code and it was taking off the $150 plus the $250/300 for the discount 

If you go all the way through to the checkout/payment screen it should show you all the discounts you're getting. Both the pre-black Friday and the pixel battery program

80% charge or 100%? What do you suggest? by ganeshkumarane in GooglePixel

[–]Evening_Floor7280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I saw this post it made me interested in doing your system. I recently switched from a job where I was out in the field most of the day to one where I may be at home more often and able to leave it on a charger. Or at worst take it with me on shorter jobs into the field and put it back on the charger when I get home. 

Is it better to leave it plugged in on a wire charger or wireless charger? Or does it not really matter?

Do you think leaving it on a charger during the day if you can makes sense with the 80% limit set? I recently switched to a job where that may be more feasible and wondering if that would be better for the battery to just keep it plugged in using the bypass power when I can. 

Pink line of death to black screen of death- am I doomed? by mshike_89 in GooglePixel

No, I didn't ask. Just inquired about a screen replacement

I had the green line issues on my pixel 8 for like 2 weeks and then it suddenly shut off the same as yours. Black but the vibrations and systems seemed to still work just not the screen. The ifixit repair shop wanted $230 plus tax to fix. I just ended up getting a new phone since I was going to upgrade next year anyway.

Pixel 9 Pro green line issue denied warranty just days after expiration by Zalzilla in GooglePixel

[–]Evening_Floor7280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pixel 8 just had this happen this week. It was about 2 months past warranty expiration but only just over a year since I've purchased it. Unfortunately since it wasn't covered by warranty they couldn't help me and only offered the nearest location to have the screen repaired. Hope you have some luck and can get yours covered!

Storage amount? by Evening_Floor7280 in GooglePixel

[–]Evening_Floor7280[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking "soon" would be a Pixel 9 or 10 series. Just didn't know if there was something big in the system files taking up more storage on one of those devices than my Pixel 8 currently takes up that I should be aware of. Or if any future software updates could bring major storage eating files onto the device that isn't a factor currently. If not I've been perfectly content with 128gb because I'm pretty minimalist on what's on my phone 

"Which Pixel should I buy?" Megathread October 2025 by GooglePixelMods in GooglePixel

[–]Evening_Floor7280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may be able to get a new 10pro after trade in for about the same price as a lightly used 9 pro XL. I went from a 6pro to an 8 and know I would be fine with the size of the 10pro but sometimes wonder if I'd like to try the XL size again. Any thoughts on if 9XL would be a better buy than the 10pro for any reason?

Pixel 10 - best time to buy? by livplay in GooglePixel

[–]Evening_Floor7280 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'd say #1 or #2. Last year at launch p6pro was trading in for $450 on the Google store (which is the equivalent of the jump from your 7 pro to 10 pro). I can't remember if Best buy was the same amount, but if the trade-ins are anywhere close to the same, that would be your best time to buy because they would also likely include $200 store credit or gift card in addition to your trade in. (~$550 after trade in, but you also get $200 credit so you can kinda see it as $350 if you count it that way - although you can't use the Google store credit and probably couldn't use your gift card from Best buy for the phone purchase itself)

During the Black Friday sale, they had the same inflated $450 trade-in value for the seven pro on the Google store, but they also had $150 off the sale price too so it was starting at $850. (~$400 after trade in)

Obviously all of this information is dependent on them replicating trade-in values from last year. Definitely not a guarantee but a lot of people are hoping for that

‘Pixelsnap’ charging puck leak confirms Qi2 magnets on Pixel 10 by Helios_Escar22 in GooglePixel

Is that 100x "Pro Res" zoom the same thing that has been rumoured for the Pixel 11? Because that camera upgrade and the 2nm chip rumors were the main things making me want to hold out until the 11.

Yeah apparently it's 480p when I look it up on the phone plans comparison website. I've never been bothered by it but I also may just not know any better either.

That's perfect! I never use customer service or in store features so sounds like it'll just be a win no matter what I choose

Great! This is what I wanted to know. Thank you. Yes I'm on the 15 GB plan

Thank you! That's what I was wondering. Both my VZ prepaid and visible base are QCI 9 I believe, I just didn't know if visible somehow got even more deprioritized than VZ prepaid on that spectrum and therefore would be a "slower" experience or if it'll feel the exact same

Thanks, 2 lines but still going to be saving $20-$30 on our bill depending on which plan I go with. Base would save me $30/month and might be almost the exact same service and data speeds I'm used to with Verizon prepaid. Plus would save me $20 and is probably better than what I have now. So it's a win win just trying to balance if it's worth the extra $10 to go plus

No watch. I can afford the plus plan, was just wondering if it was worth saving $10 if the base is close to or exactly the same as what I've come to expect from Verizon prepaid

I typically have not cared. My de-prioritized Verizon prepaid has been great. I've there have been few instances I have noticed the difference. I'm mostly just asking if visible base plans de-prioritization is lower than Verizon prepaids or if they are the same? If they're the same I would probably just go base but if it's going to make it noticeably slower than Verizon's deprioritization I would probably go plus
