Pixel is new, Google is not. Since I spent almost $800 on my phone, you need to easily fix the following. Keep in mind, I have made about 30 calls, AND I read a prominent tech author echo essentially the same FIRST problem. One, porting numbers to your Pixel took about a month, and about 25 calls. Keeping in mind that I did not want to mess up, I called support. They told me to put the WRONG number on my phone. I wanted 240 exchange to be the number of my phone, and I wanted the Hangouts 856 number to also work on my phone the way that it did on my last phone. They told me to put in the 856 number. After MANY phone calls, I was told that in order to change that, I would need a new SIM card. Keep in mind that I did not touch ONE thing on my phone, I always asked for tech support. NOW, I would have done what I did myself on the first phone, put in the 240 exchange number and then associate it with my Hangouts. I got the new SIM card quickly. However, the Hangouts number did not go back to Google Voice until I finally found a knowledgeable Supervisor. She made a ticket and later that day, Engineering properly sent my Hangouts number back to my original google voice account. When that happened, not wanting to mess up, I called support again. This time, after several personnel, I did properly get the 240 number attached to the phone, then the 856 number worked as well, since it was with the old google account. HOWEVER, then I was told that I would have to send my 856 hangouts number to a new google account, or lose it. So, I did set up a new gmail, and associated my 856 number with my new gmail.

NOW, I want to associate NON GMAIL email accounts with my phone. I am currently on my fourth call. Well, not really, I am waiting for a call back from a supervisor, because the frontline techs do not know how to do this.

I paid $800 for my phone, and $70 a month, and so I am expecting you to support ALL of the google apps. During the first go around, I was told that Hangouts is considered a foreign app. You need to fix that. It is a google app, almost always used with a Pixel, if you are smart, anyway, because it is a good service.

I am told that gmail does not have phone support. Until I wanted to associate my two new work emails with my gmail on my phone, I did not have a problem with GMAIL. These are all google apps, I am NOW paying Google money, instead of just letting you use my personal information as to get money for Google. So, I am expecting prompt and courteous service.

Except for the time, just a few moments ago, I have not been the problem. Unfortunately, I associated hanging up the phone, with the power button, which is also the button that you press to make the screen turn on. I had just done that, and so, it was my first opportunity to cut off a phone call while instinctively trying to see the screen again.

You have to change the hang up the phone button to another button, or something, because that should not happen. While it was my fault, you should never associate the phone hang up button with getting the screen to light once again. That is an ergonomic mistake.

I had just hung up from the third or fourth tech and wrote this waiting for the supervisor to call me back. I logged back on to edit this post, because its been about 45 minutes now. I have not heard back from the supervisor. I will give it another 15 minutes and then call back. I will post the results here.

The phone works great, the cost per month is great, and if that were not the case, I would have returned the phone. I expect that this issue with the email will be the last bump in the road.

Of note, My Bosses daughter fixed his phone in a few taps. However, She is not here to fix my phone. I am extremely computer literate, just tell me how to do it, and I will be able to do it.

I am on my fourth pixel. Everything works except the speakerphone.

I had the reported issues, on several phones. All speakerphones have not worked.
