Anyone added multiple Gmail to your p7 and have the security errors like mine? Asking me to add screen lock but screen lock is already present.

Hmm... Pixel Bundle - if prices are correct:

Pixel 7(128gb): $999 - $100 = $899
Google Pixel Buds Pro: $149
Fitbit Charge 5: $288(RRP) - Free Gift
Grand Total: $1048


Pixel 7 Pro(128gb): $1299 - $150 = $1149
Google Pixel Buds Pro: $149
Fitbit Charge 5: $288(RRP) - Free Gift
Grand Total: $1298

will be bery worth it if able to sell away the Fitbit Charge 5 to offset phone+buds cost.



Mind asking, you bought the whole skin or just the camera bar skin? Is it easy to apply ? cos I just ordered camera bar skin from gadgetshieldz.

No have tracking details for the cheapest shipping options - hopefully can arrive within 2 weeks.
I bought only the camera bar skin, I would say it's easy to apply. Initially I was thinking whether to just get the WSD SP to cover both screen and the camera bar as well but in the end, I decided to just use other brand TGSP and gadgetshields for the camera bar. Now looking for the casing that is similar to S22 silicon cover, if can't find I will just use it without casing. ;)

buds pro below $149 sounds like a good deal. I'm using the foc buds A, but I find the sound very soft, can't hear much while on trains too. probably will go back to my creative v3 or spend and try the buds pro.
I'm using moondrop quarks dsp version, with correct fitting of the ear tips, you can hear your music loud and clear without the surrounding sounds :cool:

Need hairdryer to apply heat over the pasted area right?

Bought WSD SP at a shop and the shop pasted for me. However, when I enquire if the WSD comes with camera bar SP, the person say don't have ?

Use without casing, a bit dangerous - very slippery and it's a fingerprint magnet too.

Using this casing now, if you are interested, can take a look:

If just 1 account, then probably don't have this error, since the screen lock applied on your phone is for that 1 Gmail. just not really sure how to remove this error, I suspect this is what making my fingerprint access less reliable (I know this sound impossible) but my fingerprint sensor feels less reliable again after adding multiple Gmail accounts. Living with it for now.

For those who have been using P7 or P7P for two months now... I believe adaptive battery would have kicked in for some time already. Just wondering what their sentiments are like.

I don't suffer from any apps kill issues for my oppo phone... so not sure what's the concern actually.

But given that pixels already don't enjoy fast charging like oppo, if the battery drain is so bad, it's really a 'double whammy'. Hopefully those who have been using for 2 months already can give an objective review, cos I'm actually quite keen on P7 series 😊
It's not that bad but not good also.

If you really need to push it to last a day and a half sure can, just turn on extreme battery saver.

But as a heavy user like me be prepared to charge it as and when you have access to a charging adapter.

I don't like to let it run till flat and recharge to 100%, but sure need to charge 1 or 2 times if heavy user and suffer from battery anxiety.

I find it hard to align the camera bar because it's smaller, but that's me. If you are using P7P, then the camera bar can also be tricky because there is only a thin strip between the 2 camera modules. So you have to be careful if you misaligned the process and need to reapply... make sure don't stretch the thin strip.

How is everyone pixel 7 going for a month or 2 months?

Battery life to me at least on standby dual network mode seems ok. Average within the day, as I find a charger I just do a quick top up.

Battery is on average 1 day battery. At the end of the day going to bed then charge.

At times leaving home with 50% battery I'm still able to get through at least half a day.

Most of the annoying bugs are solved. Portrait and orientation mode works well in YouTube. 3g/4g toggling/handover is working as per normal. 5g reporting strength so far still can be improved.

Though of getting the Pixel Buds Pro with the $250 Voucher.. bought it then saw some people complain about lag in video etc.. then cancelled. Anyone has issues? To me video lag is a big concern!

probably thats the reason why the company gave 2 per design.

I used the flash as well as the small dot to align as well as making sure the skin doesnt protrude out at the top or bottom of the cam module.

But it is still hard to get a perfect alignment so just ignore

video / sound lag - hopefully they fix it via a software update.
not hard. many TVs / sound bars have ability to sync the sound and video.

i used it for youtube - didn't seem to have any lag.

Didn't know it's so tricky, only bought 2...should have bought more.. =(

my last phone still can use quick charge.

Coming to this pixel phone... yes, adaptive charging preserves battery life but charging is really slow =(
