Had the phone a few days now and aside from the volume issues which I hope will be solved I have three other issues.
Can someone confirm 100% that there is no FM Radio - I'm 99.9% sure but I've seen threads from other people saying the radio quality is good.
No Self-Timer on the camera - I went to take a photo the other day and went to set the timer so I could be in it and there isn't one.
I can't seem to find anywhere to set the email sync frequency times (i.e. so it doesn't send email notifications in the middle of the night.
I've come from an HTC Desire HD and all of these features were standard so a little annoyed if they're all gone.
Were you running a stock HTC sense ROM?
I assume the camera additions were HTC's camera?
I thought stock Android used push notifications rather than polling and pulling every 5 minutes?? Maybe what you had was another HTC Sense feature?
Everything was standard out of the box, unlocked.
I know the Galaxy S2 has a self timer, also a radio, not sure about the email settings part though. I can set how often on the Nexus to pull from 5 minutes to 1 hour - but can't see any option of muting (off peak mode) it through the night so I don't get woken up every 10 minutes (business emails +100 a day)
I can confirm 100% there IS no FM radio on my Galaxy Nexus
The HTC Sense skin, in the same way that Samsung's TouchWiz does, adds lots of custom functionality on top of standard ASOP Android.
Maybe there are some apps out there to replicate what your Sense stuff used to do?
So to answer your thread title....... they aren't "missing features"...... its because you aren't running a HTC Sense ROM.

I disagree I'd still say they are missing features, If they were present in AOSP there'd be no need for HTC & Samsung et al to add them. Having a timer in the camera app is pretty basic functionality that should really be present as standard.

i also disagree on your statement,
so now the AOSP camera version has time laps video option, and video effects (change you faces while recording video),
do you then call this missing features for the rest of the phones?

I understand what you're saying but to me a self-timer is a basic function that's found on most phones I've come across - the other effects are nice but in my mind not as essential as a timer.
I disagree with that. YOU look for those features. I currently been through 5 devices in the past few months that don't have your "missing" features. They are missing to YOU, but THEY are not standard features. I'd say only 10% at best of all the phones out there have those features so it's far standard(note: I do not know the exact %, but it has to be less than 20%)

Android tends doesn't notify in the middle of the night.. I'm not exactly sure how it does it but I sleep right next to a tablet and a phone both of which beep merrily during the day but I never get a peep out of them overnight.

What you're asking for and 'sync frequency' are 2 different things. You're looking for something to silence notifications at night; sync frequency is how often the phone pulls new data down for your accounts.
The name is slipping my mind right now (will update if I find it!), but there are definitely apps in the market that silence the phone for different intervals, such as over night. ROMs like CM7 have this built in as "quiet hours". You can choose to silence notifications but not alarms or phone calls, etc.
Check out Sweet Dreams. Think it'll do what you want.
Could also look at Bedside (Night Clock). It has a "white list" to block some notifications and not others.
The app Tasker is a bit overkill for just this (unless you use for other things too), but it'll do what you're asking.

That's probably because you are a heavy sleeper mate. Also people send out less emails and texts at night.
Anyway there are certain apps you can use to either change your sound profiles at certain times, or to disable data syncing. Personally I use Juice Defender to turn off data at night when I'm not using the phone. I don't have to set silent mode at night cause I am a heavy sleeper too and phone beeps don't wake me up.

I'd be surprised if only 10% of new camera phones had a self-timer function. It's a bit like saying a flash for the camera shouldn't be standard as they never existed on the first camera phones but you'd sure as heck kick up a stink if a new phone was released without a flash for the camera wouldn't you ? Or how about a car with manual locking instead of central locking. Surely with a phone of this caliber a self-timer isn't exactly a special feature.

Yeah that's exactly what I'm finding, I'm not receiving emails after a certain time on my phone. I work with a lot of companies in the US and I'm in the UK so I do many late nights and I want to be able to set when emails arrive or don't on my phone, not when they think I should be sleeping or awake otherwise I end up sitting with my phone and laptop both out if I'm expecting an important mail to arrive rather than relaxing in bed with the phone by my side, and even a manual refresh doesn't bring the mails down after a certain time.

I don't have my GN yet, so I can only comment on your first question: I'm pretty sure, if people talk about radio quality, they mean either the quality of mobile signal reception or the sound/speech quality of incoming and outgoing calls. Radio quality most definitely doesn't refer to an actual FM Radio.
So to make a long story short: There's no FM Radio in the GN.
Browser Dimming
I know on thing that I will not miss coming from SGSII is the auto-dimming in the browser.. I have turned off all power-management tools (I think?!) but yet on the SII, anytime I tried using the browser, autodim!
Can anyone with a GN confirm that this "feature" is gone?
thanks!

It still dims, but if you go into settings > display, you can change the sleep time to like 10 minutes and it won't dim for ages.

I think that's a Cyanogenmod setting, not stock Android. Not that I can find anyway.

Thanks for the quick reply.. just to confirm, I'm not referring to the overall system settings of the display but specifically (on Samsungs) the auto-dimming of the browser.
One of the greatest feature in HTC phones for me, was the Vibrate on connect feature. Basically the phone vibrates slightly when the person you are calling answers , if you are not holding the phone to your ear. As long as the screen is turned off the phone does not before as it "thinks" you are holding it at your ear.
Is there any way to enable something like this on the GNexus? I couldn't find an app to for this.
Maybe one of the talented devs around here are interested in doing a mod to enable this function?
Cyanogenmod has this feature. I'm unsure if it is present in cm9 as its still relatively new, but it was definitely in cm7

Im sorry for bringing the "old" thread back, but , this is very very importand and usefull to me ..
I cant belive that there is no option for this on GN .. (stock rom)
I need this feather too.
I would love this feature too, was using hTC D2 for a while, and I'm new to Android
This would def. be interested in this feature being available.

I actually did give that one a try earlier today. The vibrate on call end worked for me, but the vibrate on call connect did not work at all (stock ICS). The app has several different "vibration mode settings" to try if it isn't working on your phone, but I had no luck with any of the different settings.
I emailed the developer, so hopefully they get back to me.
i'm missing this feature too!

I had this feature on the OG Droid through the KickBack, which was installed when I switched to a cyanogenmod 7 rom... KickBack says that it's deprecated/included in ICS, but I can't find a setting for this feature anywhere on my GN (4.0.4 stock rooted). I would really love to have this feature back, just so I don't have to stare at my phone until it starts actually dialing.

Open dialer goto logs .. press menu..goto call setting> call alert> call vibrate ... this worked for my galaxy note 2 n7100
I have Google Apps and am trying to ring my device remotely while its set to vibrate. It rings once at full volume then stops (its supposed to ring for five minutes at full volume). If I call my phone it makes a quick chirp and then goes into silent mode from vibrate (its supposed to stay at full volume). Can someone please test theirs?

Works fine for me.
In working with Google, the resolution was:
Paid Google Apps should use: https://www.google.com/apps/mydevices
Regular Android Consumers: https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager
Using the Google Apps link all the functionality works great.
It did the same thing for me. One ring at full volume, then fell back to silent.
The Google ID i have tied to this phone is my personal one, so I can only use the "Regular Android Customers"
Working fine here.
My wife uses the HTC One on T-Mobile, and we see this behavior on her phone as well. I don't remember my One on Verizon having this issue, but in fairness I never tried it until after I flashed CM 10.2. Anyway, it's not specific to the Verizon edition. Whether that's comforting or not, I can't say.

Same here. Rings once, then unable to trigger again. Not sure what the retry threshold is supposed to be.
Just tested it with my Note3 and it does the same, rings only once no matter if the phone is set to vibrate or not. Although it seems to track it fine even though I'm indoors.
But I already had the chance to put this to good use a few weeks ago to find my father's S3. He called one evening upset and said he thinks he lost his phone on the golf course somewhere. I started to get mad at myself for not having installed one of the tracker apps on his phone. It was already near dark and we have heavy dew that would have ruined the phone overnight. So I called Verizon and asked if there was anything we could do. The rep asked if he had a Google account setup on the phone and whether or not GPS was on. I said yes to both and he instructed me how to login at Google.com and track the phone with Android Device Manager. It worked perfect. It pin-pointed the phone of the golf course and my father and I went to retrieve it. It was really dark by then and I was using my phone, signed into his Google account, to see the map. We went to where the map indicated the phone was but still didn't see it even with flashlights. So I clicked the ring option and we heard his ringtone clearly in the quiet darkness. It was less than 10 feet from where we were looking and it was lying face down it thick grass. Had it not been for the ringer, we may have overlooked it and just assumed the mapped location wasn't very accurate.
So that story had a happy ending and at least the ring option worked on the S3, but it still only rings once on my Note3. And when I immediately click the ring option a second time it doesn't ring at all. If I wait 30secs to a minute and try it again, it will ring but only once. My father had a song ringtone on his S3 and I just have one of the default ringtones on my Note3. Wonder if that makes a difference? Will have to test it sometime.
Also I'm curious to see if the device tracker will work well with GPS turned off? The rep asked me if GPS was turned on, and I knew my father gets good battery life and just leaves his GPS, Bluetooth, and WiFi on. I was so excited to see it track the phone that I forgot to ask if it would work with the GPS turned off. The battery on the Note3 also lasts about 2 days even with GPS and Wifi on, so I'm planning on leaving GPS on just in case.
So, with a Galaxy Note 5, just updated to Marshmallow 6.0.1, I can't get it to ring at all (didn't try with 5.1.1).

You know theres a "Incoming calls" selection in blocking mode? Just turn blocking mode on when you dont want to be interrupted
I don't want to disable calls from coming in to the phone I just don't want them taking over the phone completely.
whatever you're in
the Galaxy s5 has a pop up screen that overlay any app your in.

So I forgot about a mod I came across in the International forums that actually enables it. Some people were claiming it worked great, few others said it was kinda buggy, Its actually really simple to do by decompiling the secphone and making a few changes. Itll only take like 5 minutes to do so if you want to post a copy of your secphone.apk I'll hook it up and you can try it out for yourself. Youre gonna have to be atleast rooted tho
I'm on my second Pixel 3 XL after an RMA for distorted bottom speaker.
I'm now noticing that the proximity sensor is stopping working when you bring the phone to your ear in a phone call and thus, leaving the screen visible and active.
A restart does fix this but only for about a day!
Has anyone else noticed this issue?
I didn't notice this on the unit that I sent back!
Thanks.
Do you have a screen protector covering the proximity sensor? It may not be working correctly if it's covered.
Is it only during calls or all the time? A few other people have posted about prox issues with the smaller Pixel 3, here's one thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3/help/proximity-sensor-keeos-display-off-t3864055
Seems it can be fixed by cleaning the area around the sensor if you don't have a screen protector.

Thanks for the suggestions.
No screen protector fitted or anything obscuring the sensor.
Next time it happens, I'll check to see if it might need cleaning.
One theory I have, is that this phone has been upgraded with the November patch and maybe there's something in there that has caused this issue.
Has anyone else noticed this after the Nov update?
Thanks.

I just got the phone yesterday and am seeing the exact same behavior. It works and then it does not. Reboot temporarily fixes it.
I know there is a bug when using the pixel buds and unplugging them either before a call or during it would stop the proximity sensor from working.
a reboot was the only thing that would fix this issue for me

I've RMA'd the phone that had this issue and still have the issue.
It does seem quite random. I'm hoping Dec Update will fix this along with the distorted bottom speaker.
I think that this issue is software related, as I tried using an App that shows when the proximity sensor is triggered and this seemed to work as expected.
How do I test my proximity sensor?

I am trying to get to the bottom of this. Do you happen to have a Samsung Gear watch? I have the S3 and removed the "phone calls" option from the Pixel Bluetooth menu and so far this issue has not occured, but I am still testing.

I have a pixel 2xl, as well. I looked at the Bluetooth setting on that phone when connected to my S3 and noticed the "phone calls" option was disabled.
I was looking at all apps that access the dialer or phone calls. Really just a guess.

I see....good spot.
If I do disable this setting in Bluetooth though, will this just disable the ability to take voice calls on the watch using the internal microphone and speaker or will it as well, stop the watch from vibrating when a call comes in?

I believe it only disables the ability to take voice calls on the watch. It continues to vibrate when a call comes through.

That's a shame that you can't take voice calls on the watch as that's a feature I do use at times.
Either, way I disabled it after more issues with the screen not blanking and will see how it goes.
I also had a new issue, where I'm in a call and could not switch to Speaker. I would choose the Speaker option but it just would not switch.
I'm wondering if you've had this same issue when you had your Gear S3 watch setup to take calls?

I am able to switch to speaker but I never have my S3 set to take calls. I have not gone full on Michael Knight yet.
BTW My proximity problems are gone. Must be the Bluetooth S3 issue.
I've had to RMA mine due to the bottom speaker crackling. I purchased from carphonewarehouse in the uk so have had to to a standard replacement. Does anyone know if they will send the replacement out before receiving the faulty one? They did this last year with the 2xl. It's not due to get back to them until next Thursday so hoping I won't have to wait too long.

I've had my pixel 3 XL replaced twice due to distorted bottom speaker by Carphone Warehouse Business.
They will deliver a replacement and then collect your faulty unit a few days later, in order to allow you to transfer your data to the new unit.

Sorry I wasn't clear I've done an RMA with google so just wanted to see if anyone else had done the same even though they didn't purchase direct from them. Last year with the 2XL they would send the new one out once the faulty device was sent at the post office, they must have known from the tracking. This time it's via UPS and is going straight to Poland! Not due to arrive until the 4th. If a replacement doesn't get sent out tomorrow or Monday looks like I'll be waiting a while. I even noticed screen burn in when resetting it. Changed to Samsung displays and still burn in from the nav bar just like last year. I wish I'd gone back to carphonewarehouse now to get a replacement!
Wow, I never would have thought of the Samsung gear watch interfering. I have the newest one (the one after the s3) and had the same issue with the screen staying awake while on a call. It was the one thing I really didn't like about the phone. Seems like the symptoms are the same Pixel 3xl, verizon, Samsung Galaxy watch and a restart fixes the issue for a while. I just tried what you suggested. Thank you very much for posting your idea.
I've been dealing with a similar issue, but not exactly,
My screen turns off when I hold the phone against my ear, but the display still seems "active".
My cheek is still bringing the notification area down, toggling my quick settings or even going into the settings app (if my phone was unlocked while I answered a call).
It's been super constant and annoying because one time my flashlight was toggled in an elevator, which was a bit awkward.
Another time my clock app opened and changed my alarm time and then turned it off entirely.
Luckily I could feel the vibration so I knew something was going on but this is a really strange issue.
I have already setup a RMA since the phone has a speaker distortion problem as well, so we'll see what happens once the new device arrives.
