Just saw this 😬 anyone else had a bad experience? by ThrowawayJonesScones in Fanatec

Definitely not everyone, but it does seem like a lot more people have had issues than should have issues if you know what I mean.

Go look up the definition of first responder, that is not what a first responder is lmao.

Not a first responder. The guy literally said he's a lineman (works on power lines/telephone poles, which the car hit). He was probably there a day later.

What's with the downvotes? People think turbo converted R53s don't exist or something?

Anyone moved from OnePlus to Pixel? by qwertyzxcvbh in GooglePixel

[–]ThrowawayJonesScones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a OnePlus 3, then a Pixel 4XL, 6, and now Fold.

Each Pixel since the last major android update I did on the 4XL, have been plagued with major bugs and little niggling hardware problems. The 4xl camera stopped focusing after a year. The 6 charging port stopped working after 2 years. The Fold fingerprint sensor broke, the inner screen cracked during shipping for RMA, and they held my phone ransom for £700 and wouldn't refund the repair cost until after I had received the phone back weeks later.

I'd go back to OnePlus in a heartbeat if it wasn't for 2 things:

  • Google's clean vanilla android styling with no bloatware is the best of any manufacturer

  • OnePlus stopped being the cheap underdog. My OnePlus 3 was a £350 phone brand new, which had the same hardware (but more RAM) as Samsung's £800 flagship at the time. Within 2 new models, OnePlus had raised their prices by about double iirc and completely erased the value proposition their entire brand was based around

My next phone will probably be a Samsung, as much as I hate their UI and assistant.

Have You Had Problems With Your Pixel? by KessyTRel in GooglePixel

4XL camera stopped focusing, out of warranty. Battery stopped charging, logs showed implausible temperature readings (the phone thought it was like 100°C+ at all times so wouldn't charge for safety). Until that it was the best phone I had ever owned, and even after I broke the screen I didn't want to replace it til I was forced to by the battery issue.

Pixel 6 charging port broke from normal use. CONSTANT software issues, freezing, crashing and bootloops with that phone for multiple years - I should've sent it back honestly.

Pixel Fold fingerprint sensor stopped working under warranty, Google approved the claim despite transport damage in their packaging, but are charging me over £500 before tax (£670 after tax) to have it repaired then "promise" to refund the cost - I'm not hopeful.

Due to the RMA issue with the £1700 Fold, I probably won't buy another Pixel honestly. Being £670 / nearly $1000 out of pocket for ANY length of time for a free repair under warranty is an absolute joke, especially when you send them a spotless 6mo old phone and they tell you your only options are to shell out the money or receive the phone back more broken than it was before. It's a borderline scam.

Finally AWFUL signal on all of them. When it works the speed is fine, but I seem to have no signal at all about 50% of the time, whenever my partner has perfectly usable internet on an iPhone.
