I’ve been using many apps and from few months, It’s seems I’m quite stable so I think it’s time to share a list of awesome Android Apps I’m using everyday as I’ve removed Google from my life!

    My last Google service used was Goolge Domain, but I’m free now :🎉 I’m thinking about what to do with my Google account for two main reasons, I have possibly missed a service still using my gmail email… And about warranty with my Pixel as I bought it from Google directly.

      About the warranty on your device, just wait for it to expire. After so much time using Google, keeping the account alive for whatever you need for a bit longer won’t really make a difference.

      What I would do is just keep it and not use it for anything other than what I REALLY need it for.

        It’s exactly what I’m thinking, I can just use it to buy the Pixel 12 or 13 in few years and not use the account.

        And about the warranty, in fact it’s really what making me buy on Google my Pixel. I changed my Pixel 3XL for a Pixel 5 so I give the 3XL to a friend, warranty was expired since few years but he had a problem with the battery, they changed the phone for free. Best customer service ever… I don’t like Google anymore but I can admit there is some good in it… I think!

          What I do is get it from a brick and mortar store, like Best Buy, or even order from them. I’ll avoid buying from Google directly like the plague. I am aware they share some information, but just not paying Google directly feels good to me.

          And about their customer service, honor where honor is due, they are awesome at that. When I was leaving Fi, not even a single attempt to keep me there, no questions, just a fully helpful individual helping me port out.
