Pixel 8 problems frustration (vent) (feddit.org)

I finally decided I should complain about the almost weekly, and getting worse, networking issues (a reboot fixes it, though nothing else will). After talking to Google, they suggested I send the device in for repairs. "Uh.. ok. How many spare phones do YOU have?" "Let me see if there's an alternative".

So they sent me a replacement, putting a hold on my card so I send back mine. Sure. I can live with that.

New (refurbished, I'm pretty sure) phone arrived today. Spent the day reinstalling everything. The bank apps are the worst...

A little while ago, while watching a movie at home, I noticed the phone was constantly (like every few minutes) rebooting. Sigh.

Guess I'll be calling Google again tomorrow. What a pain.

The quality control just isn't where it should be for the prices they ask.

My first pixel 8's screen coating started coming off leading to blurry spots. They sent me to ubreakifix.. who broke the proximity sensor then couldn't fix it. Told me to go back to Google.

Google said they'd send me a new (not refurb) phone as this was like less than 2 months after getting the phone. Anyways the refurb came (CSR lied), I sent the old one back.

This one seems to overheat sometimes and get really slow. So slow that it takes like 10 seconds to open the camera.

Maybe I'll try Sammy next time? Idk.
