What happened to your pixel 2 xl that it suffered massive slowdowns?

Mine's probably an isolated situation and I think a reset would have solved most of the problems I had, but by the time it started to really become a problem the current generation Pixel wasn't too far away so I didn't bother.

Key presses would take a long time to register and it got to a point where I couldn't type at times because the phone would stutter and then just blurt out everything I pressed before and the haptics would go crazy. I thought it was an issue with SwiftKey at first but with Gboard it was an issue as well. The home screen would have this weird issue whereby I would try to access an app like Chrome, but nothing would happen; you could see the icon "bounce" slightly as it registered your touch but the app wouldn't launch and I would have to reboot the phone - I think this was most prevalent with the Camera app. Also had issues with the home and back buttons taking longer than usual to work. Bluetooth audio playback would stutter (even for downloaded, not streamed files).

That said, I loved the 2XL and have no regrets getting it.

Quick review on the skinomi techskin TPU screen protector from Amazon. Installation is easy if you follow the instructions online. Took me less than 10 mins.

The cut-out fits very well. And it fits with the Spigen rugged armor without lifting any edges.

However, since its TPU you will feel that the surface is softer if your fingernail scratches against it. It also have a slight resistance and does not feel as smooth as glass.

I will probably use it in the meantime, while waiting for rhinoshield to release their screen protector.

Let us know 2 weeks later how the surface feels? Usually what you feel now is the coating still on the protector, it goes away after 2 weeks and that's when you get the horrible squeaky feel. :(

This is an accurate representation of the word cui lol. Couriers can continue tossing items in the warehouse.

From what I reading in Reddit, FedEx over there is garbage. They outsource to individuals in a community so they anyhow deliver one.

How long did it take for the shipment to reach you?

My said it was shipped on 6 Nov and I got a tracking link to DHL. But the status has not changed since DHL received shipment info since the 6th. Delivery date is 7-8 Nov. But at this point I'm not even sure I'll get it by tomorrow the 8th, given the DHL shipping page not updating at all...

On Saturday the second transaction SMS was received

Monday the status of the device was changed to shipped

Yesterday the device was delivered

Interesting, I was not charged DCC for my Pixel 3 purchase using my Citibank Prestige card (Mastercard). The charge has changed from pending to confirmed status and it remains at $1,399.

Anyone else using Citibank observed the same?

Yay! Back to Google finally after losing my Nexus 6P earlier this year.

Just wanna check, my battery dropped 5% within 30mins is it normal?

Also, I was charged the exact amount on my CC by Google, no hidden charges.

Maybe Citibank absorb it for the Prestige card?

Hmm, I have not read anywhere that they absorbed the charges. From what I know, overseas charge to SGD will still be subjected to DCC.

Regardless, hidden fees really suck and there's no way to know until the charge is finalized.
