Heng ah you use Samsung and iPhone.

This is on your Pixel 3?

Maybe you have some apps or services not updated

Or wait other Pixel 3/XL users to feedback whether theirs is like this.. This is the older UI design iirc.

Anyway since you have the old design, could you help me test something out? For each of the cards, what happens when you click the 3 dots? Do you still have the option to "share"?

Yes. On my p3 and 5x. I keep trying to get it updated on my 5x but can't. Instead my 5 got it without doing anything. Lol.

I try to Google search I also don't know what to search for. Not sure what is it called. Haha.

I check and update later. Now not using p3 or 5x. But if my memory serves me right then it should have the share option.

If u or anyone know how to force the app to update to use the new ui then do let me know also.

Gxgx. I think the amount of sets that looks fine is probably higher than the ones with issues. My exchanged set looks pretty much perfect too. But the fact that need to go through this hassle is annoying enough. Haha.

Yeah that's the problem with mild display-related issues. What's considered a defect might be a non-issue to others.

So I managed to get my set exchanged at Causeway Point yesterday. Before opening the replacement, the CSO told me they can only do a one-time 1-1 exchange. If the replacement set is still not satisfactory I'd have to go to Google.

Luckily the replacement set is pretty much perfect. The screen is displaying an even tone as far as my eye could see. Made the effort to do the tests there and then even. Really the luck of the draw it seems.




I used the grey background that Alex posted before:

And also the "Display Tester" app in Google Playstore. Look for the grey/dark grey backgrounds and turn tge brightness down to 30%. Should set the conditions right to pick up any inconsistent colour tones.



Haha, in the photos it's probably not that obvious but in person if you look at it long enough you'll notice it. Then again, different people have different visual sensitivity towards such variances.

I prefer the old UI design because there was the share button. I would then share cards to a place where I keep bookmarks for future reading when I do not have the time to read through all the cards.

But now the new UI they removed the share button. Then I got to click each card and go inside then share

Bookmark …

That's good. So are you back to using this phone onwards?

Heng you use Samsung so that's 1 more available set for people who have good taste in smartphones.

 

[bryant_16]

What cable you use for charging from a laptop/PC? I try the ugreen, but it is not good. Didn't maintain the charge.

Corrected for you

Heng ah less competitor.

I only charge phone at home using original cable and adapter. Never had to charge my phone elsewhere.

 

[DXMachina]

Did you have to call 1688 before going down?

I think it doesn't matter if you called 1688 or booked an online appointment, you still have to get a queue ticket at the outlet and get in line. At least that's the case for me. I asked the service staff then what's the point of booking an online appointment? They just gave a lame excuse saying that there's a lot of people.

Wah that's damn lame. Anyway thanks for the heads up! Hope my unit is okay when it arrives

Just contacted Google support on the shipment delay. Those of you with delayed orders can try the same.

Not sure how useful they'll be. I'll have to wait for their email to find out.

I think this method only works for orders that are done on Google store. For singtel orders, there's no way to get an answer. Just a summary of what I went through. Pre-ordered on 10/10 on singtel, delivery date supposedly to be on launch day 1/11. Received email and sms a day before launch to say that there's delay.

The email even placed a Google number in Singapore to dial in. It's the wrong department. Routed me to a department that's in the US. Line got cut. Communicated via email. All they could tell me is since you pre-ordered from third party, you need to check with them. Piece of shiet, singtel ask me find Google. Google ask me find singtel.

Best part is singtel just called and ask if I receive my pixel already. Like hello? You're the one who's supposed to update me on my order and you're asking me if I receive the thing that you're supposed to send me? Crappy organization with no processes in place whatsoever.

So many issues.

Good for you. I hope your phone doesn't go up in flames like the note 7.

My black pixel 3 128gb just changed status an hour ago. From delayed to shipped and with the original estimate of 6-7 nov. Doubt I'll see it by 7 Nov though.

 

[kwaychapy]

looks like 128gb XL is the way to go...

 

[lorettatay]

I called Standard Chartered Bank , Bank Staff explained the same of Overseas Merchant that operating at Singapore that actually not using SGD as base problem however Bank is going to refund me the balance .

Look like those Visa/Master card agent is no good. How can that issued legal Tax Invoice is not tallied with the Credit Card bill.
All this should be reflected if the actual deal is converted from other currency.

Most Online stores do quote the price is based on XXX currency.
I dont see this problem with Amazon SG.

I don't have such luck. Anyway lesson learnt. Damn MasterCard.

Those who've got their sets have had their sets delivered the next day after the phone was shipped. Only question now is whether DHL delivers on a public holiday.
