I like the new circle to search thing. Might be new as in I've only just discovered it, aka old news.

Yep, been available for a few months now.

It's nice when you need it but I must accidentally trigger it 7 or 8 times a day

Just security updates I believe.

Has anyone joined the Pixel Superfan thing?

Joined it last year nothing decent has come of it yet. I've applied to test their latest stuff as I can get into London in about 40 minutes.

I think their latest email was to win a footballs shirt from either England Women or Arsenal Men/Women or Liverpool Men/Women.

As a West Ham fan, dont really want any of them.

Yeah that did kind of read like they found some stuff lying about the office no one wanted didn't it.....

I also put my name down for the testing thing, I'm sure thousands would do as well so let's see if anything comes of it.

Aloe coloured 8a is on the way, with the boosted trade in it came to £300 traded using my lads old 3a that's in the draw as a spare - will put my 6 away as a spare now and then probably hang on till the 10 comes out hopefully - seemed a good deal and get some value out the old 3a

Picked up a 6 Pro a couple of weeks back to replace a Huawei P20 Pro.

Are there any recommendations for a wireless charging stand for it?

I got the pixel stand which is very good, pricey but if you've got any Google store credit to use then it's a good option.

Has anyone's Pixel ever randomly stopped connecting to their mobile network?

I've been without it for 24 hours now - I'm with EE through 1P mobile, it's showing the 4G or 5G symbol (depending where I am), but the little signal bar has a '!' in it and I can't get any mobile network.

WiFi works fine. There's no reported EE issues in the area (parents are both on EE with no issue), I've restarted the phone half a dozen times, removed and reinserted the SIM, reset network settings (which didn't seem to do anything)...

Any suggestions? I'm away next week for work so need a working phone

You could try resetting your network connections, but you'll lose your saved WiFi and Bluetooth pairings.

If you go to sim and network settings on your 1p account, does it show the sim as being live?

This is what I tried initially, although it seemed to still remember my WiFi settings as it automatically reconnected to our home WiFi after a restart

It does. However I managed to get through to their online chat and they confirmed they've had lots of reports over the past 48 hours about the issue so they're looking into it..

So seems to be a network issue rather than a phone issue, which I suppose is preferable although they don't have an ETA on getting the issue sorted..

I have a couple of them and can't fault them.
