Is there any way to adjust the settings for the camera? Its also producing darker than average photos. :(

Basically most of the time the HDR+ mode should work fine already for me. Im assuming you dont have night sight yet.

U can always tap to focus and at side will have a slider which you can adjust brightness?

I fuc*ing knew I couldn't trust Stinktel to do a damn thing right. They passed my order on to Stinkpost just today and expected them to be able to deliver today to the POP station. The Stinktel CSOs still had the cheek to tell me I'd be able to get it today (I called them 3 times), until I called Stinkpost myself and said it's still in their processing facility till Monday.

Basically you want o free up space? So those photos on your G Photos uploaded at original res?

From what I know no choice but to download and reupload through Pixel. If not won't count as free upload. I did that a long time back when I got the pixel. Tedious, but no choice. If you have it in albums already, easier to do album by album. But of not, and everything is just there... Can try using Google Takeout to download everything one shot.

yeah, free up my space in google.. now hitting 18/19gb liao..
so want to re-upload all images so can make use of my free upload from pixel then i will get back all my 15gb of photo worth of data then got space for other things.

i only have a couple of albums, then rest are not albums.
okay, guess i'll do the takeout way then re-upload all again.

Haha. Singtel... Raise of hand those who pre-order very very early and don't have the Pixel stand. Hahaha. Not even a peep. They just keep saying to wait for SMS. You'll get it if eligible. The thing is they can't even confirm with us eligible or not.

Haha. I did that last time too. Mine was all in albums. I did album by album. Saved like 10gb also. Tedious, but totally worth it.

Chill bro. At least you have something to look forward to on Monday. Mine is still in limbo. Don't even know in US in China or in Singapore. -.-

Google really needs to work out their shipping in order not to punish customers who pre-order.

I pre-ordered on 10 Oct and now shipment for the Pixel 3 black 128GB is delayed. I cannot cancel the order, and pple can simply buy from stores or resllers now =.=

Called their hotline and on the CSO end, they cannot even see that the order is delayed, so unable to advise further.

With the screen issues now, totally not looking forward to the late delivery and possibility of having to return the phone. :mad:

No, people should not subscribe to pre-orders. It gives them the license to do anything they want and you have to bear the consequences because you have already made payment.

Haha. I beginning to think that way as well... Especially when pre-order doesn't guarantee you any perks.

THIS. Hahaha. 2 of my friends, myself included, happily pre-ordered from Singtel on the first day or 2 the pre-order went up. Supposed to get Pixel Stand since within first 1000. Not a peep. haha. Those who order way after us, all happily get SMS to redeem Pixel Stand, some already got theirs liao I believe?

Singtel CSO all giving vague, copy and paste reply. From before the phone launch say just wait for Nov 1st, will get SMS. Then Nov 1st came and went, phone collected, nothing. Message them on FB, they just say if you eligible, rest assured, you'll get the Pixel Stand. As if that reply answers anything. haha. The problem is, we are pretty sure we're eligible, but Singtel refuses to confirm in writing that we are eligible. No SMS, no email, no indication of free Pixel Stand anywhere on our order. From the comments on their FB page, we're definitely not the only ones.

So... yeah. It's not my first time pre-ordering phones, but this has been one of the most tiring experience for sure. :s22:

Just a reminder that the initial free pixel stand offered by singtel was only for pre-orders re-contract with Data x3 or x4 add-on.

There might be people who opted to re-contract without the additional data x3/x4 add-on thus its only normal they dont get the pixel stand.

I ordered my Pixel 3 XL black online last night, the Pixel stand states that it is free exclusive online premium.

Those who lack google drive storage might want to consider the Google Rewards Opinion scheme.

I have been using it for more than a year, doing surveys over time gets google play balance credits (expires within a year) which I then use to subscribe for 100GB extra storage and also pay for misc apps on the play store.

My Google drive subscription has been paid for by that. XD

I do think the P3 128GB seems to have supply issues. Since we cannot get it here from telcos, so there are actually no other alternatives.

I just tell myself, what's another week of waiting haha. :s13:
