I pre-ordered a black XL 32gb from Bell and it was delivered on launch day. I quickly ran out of space. I called Swiftronics in mississauga and they had a white XL 128gb in stock. I traded in my Black one (I always get black or dark grey for all my phones since a white iPhone 3g i had years ago) and i must say, this colour makes the phone feel more premium for some reason. Always picked a darker colour for my phones since watching movies is more immersive with a dark bezel than with a white one. Kind of wished they had a black screen border with the silver back but having the phone in hand, I don't regret it at all.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] funkydude101:
Yeah I got mine from Swiftronics as well. I noticed on the box was a ripped sticker with a number and HUP written on it...which means the phone was a hardware upgrade from a carrier....lol. Not complaining though.

Anyone with Telus having problem with music pausing randomly or loud static noise (that overrides any audio) coming from headphone?

I have both of these issues and they appear to be related to the cell tower connection (the music pauses by itself only when the phone connects to a new tower). I don't think it's hardware related so I am curious if anyone else is having the same issues
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] GibMcFragger:
I've been running my XL for a week now on Telus' network. I bought it directly from the Google Store. I love it, and I haven't noticed any issues so far.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] byondpossession:
Did Telus stop selling the XL?

I don't see in on the site anymore ... I've had a hell of a time trying to get one was told "next Thursday" two weeks ago and haven't had time to call back get.

Has anyone else seen the 128gb XL in stock in playstore recently? It seems to be perpetually out of stock

Sent from my Nexus 6P
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rcyh:
The black 128GB XL was available briefly for 2 days back in 2 weeks ago and went sold out very quickly. The Silver one's stock lasted a bit longer (maybe a week) but sold out now. I bought the black one during that time.

Setup an account here to have the notification email send to you whenever they have in stock. I setup mine 2 months ago and forgot about it. Then suddenly I got the notification email 2 weeks ago so I went ahead and bought the black one.

Man you guys all have way more patience than me. I was getting angry waiting for my black Pixel XL 128GB months ago LOL.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Techvir:
That is what I have done. Have now 6p with me now...

I just decided to get rid of my Mate 9 last afternoon and bought 128gb pixel xl on Kijiji in the evening. Brand new one. Unused. I can't imagine myself waiting forever for an item that gets restocked never.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mukhtar.patel1:
Hello everyone

I recently got a Pixel xl.

Box says the device is from Telus.

I am currently using rogers with it, while LTE is network is available but volte does not work even though it is enabled in settings app.

When ever I get a call network falls back to 3g.

Any ideas ?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DespairFactor:
I don't think Rogers supports VoLTE on this phone. However, if they do, they need to enable it on your account from their side.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mukhtar.patel1:
Rogers does support Volte.

Earlier I had smaller pixel and volte worked fine with it and battery life too seemed much better compared to pixel xl.

May be just because I have Telus modem I am having these issues.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DespairFactor:
The modem is the same across all Pixel phones in Canada...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mukhtar.patel1:
Oh if that's the case than might be rogers issues.

Would a factory reset help ?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DespairFactor:
Not likely, I would contact Rogers and see if they can re-provision it on your account.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mukhtar.patel1:
I will try to contact them tomorrow.

Thanks for the tip
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mukhtar.patel1:
When I was searching for official factory images I found that there is one rogers only version.

I believe my issues are due that.

My phone currently does not have rogers carrier specific optimization due to that my battery life is also not very good and I VOLTE also does not work.

---------- Post added at 03:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

Can you please point me to a step by step guide for flashing rogers specific factory image on my Pixel Xl.

I am running 7.1.2 N2G47O may security patch.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] efrant:
N2G47O is the latest factory image for the Pixel and Pixel XL on Rogers, and has support for VoLTE on Rogers. Flashing an older version is not going to help you.

VoLTE needs to be provisioned by Rogers. When you dial *#*#4636#*#* do you see VoLTE as provisioned?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mukhtar.patel1:
I went ahead and flashed rogers factory image and then got 2 ota updates that brought me to N2G47O.

battery life issue sorted but still no VOLTE.

I contacted rogers they said you plan is from Saskatchewan and your number is 6

Ontario (starting with 647) so either i change the plan oor number that will give me VOLTE.

But turns outs i don't want to do either so i am with out volte:(
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Considering a device like the axon 7 costs less than half what the pixel does has hardware on par with it mostly and offers expandable storage and stereo speakers its going to have to be a helluva a sale lol.

Anyone pre-order from Rogers? I'm at #26 for the 128GB Silver model. Chose to pick up from a Rogers Plus store.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Giroyac:
pre ordered xl 32 silver from rogers and im at number 2 ! i also pre ordered from google that i cancelled, im crossing my fingers for an unlocked bootloader and no carrier lock/bloatware through rogers !

been using only nexus devices since galaxy, and it would suck waiting for rogers to release updates vs nexus image availability
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AndyYan:
"XL" as in "extra low".

Got me a 128GB very silver from google
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rajeshr:
#13 for the Black 128GB and #6 for the Silver 128GB. Picking up at the Rogers Plus store - will decide between Black and Silver prior to pickup! :)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TYRTlive:
Alright friends, I just decided to get 128GB Pixel XL Quite Black. I asked Rogers if theirs is SIM locked and they said yes, so probably I'm gonna go with Google Store. If I order it somewhere around the 25th, do I have to wait a few weeks? Or get it right away? What do you think? S6 Edge is driving me crazy already, camera is broken, and software is laggy.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Boswell20:
At the moment it's sold out and you'd be on the waiting list for that model so it's highly unlikely you'd be getting it right away
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Giroyac:
I hope sim locked doesn't mean locked bootloader, and updates through rogers instead of straight from Google!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rajeshr:
I don't hold much hope for an unlocked bootloader - since these are no longer Nexus devices and target a different set of customers.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sacthegreat:
Ya! Maybe makes sense to go for the 3 month old OP3?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Giroyac:
http://mobilesyrup.com/2016/10/07/r...tware-updates-will-come-straight-from-google/

I thought I'll just leave this here, was definitely a concern.. Hopefully rep knows what he's talking about!!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DespairFactor:
It will not be bootloader locked from Google. If you are concerned it will be, purchase another device. OP3 is okay, but you know, the OEM is OnePlus.

Anyhow, updates will be coming direct from Google, except the VZW model.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BossNexusS:
Can you clarify? So are you saying (speculating?) that the bootloader will be unlockable? Or not unlockable?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] iamhacked:
Did anyone have luck ordering the 128GB Pixel XL yet?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] yeahitsgotahemii:
Ordered one on 04-Oct-2016 11:19:30 PDT , scheduled delivery for the 21-24 oct. Black 128GB
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DespairFactor:
It will be unlockable and rootable.

I have 2 ordered from a about a week ago
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TYRTlive:
Yup. Can confirm that it's unlocked, I've seen someone saying on Google Forums someone has confirmed that it's unlockable if you bought it via Google Store.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] firewave:
Pre-ordered one from Bell. Waiting for the texto.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DespairFactor:
Is it 32GB?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] firewave:
Yes, I'm not really confident to stay with a clean 128GB of memory. I know the mess I'd put on it.

Sadly 64GB would have been perfect.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] acheney1990:
I preordered one from Bell...32 GB XL...in store. Called a little bit ago and it's already there. Just won't let me have it until Thursday.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 420SYN:
Preordered 32GB Pixel XL Black with Rogers and it's been shipped to store so I expect it there for the 20th. My wife's 32GB Pixel XL Silver still in open status unfortunately she's #2 in line so not sure what's going on there.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] byondpossession:
Anyone have any clue when the 128 model will be available on Telus?

Kinda holding out on that size, but also excited to get a new phone asap.... Been awhile and jumping over from BlackBerry 10 finally.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mikecousins:
Mine shipped today from the Play Store.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Boswell20:
What phone did you get?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] funkydude101:
So... I'm from the Note 7 camp...jumping ship...as I have to.... late to the Pixel XL party...

How does one actually pre-order an unlocked 128gb Pixel XL? It's "Out of Stock" on the Google Store... I have to join a waiting list....why can't I just pre-order?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mikecousins:
32GB Black Pixel XL.

---------- Post added at 02:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------

Google is weird like that. I don't know how they decide to make one a pre-order and one a waitlist.

Just got a shipping notice from Bell. Tracking not available on Canada Post website yet.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Boswell20:
Just received my tracking number. Canada Post from the Google store
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] meboy:
I'm surprised to even see nearly ten people in here buying it. Especially getting the 32gb which is useless for me. Resale value on that model will be terrible.

Why not just buy a S7 edge? Used for under $500 or new for $600.

What's attractive about this phone?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] adsam3927:
Ordered on release date right after announcement

Delivery date Oct 25-Nov 1st

But shipped just now to Mississauga

Anyone know where in GTA it's coming from ?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] digitalallstar:
Had an upgrade on my line from Bell. Paid roughly half of retail. I work for Bell so I have no issues locking into a contract.

I had a Galaxy S7 edge. Great phone no doubt but I also have a nexus 6P and Nougat with no skin on top is absolutely fantastic. I want to move on to the next iteration of hardware that runs pure or close to pure Android. It's that good. I think you may be overlooking the importance of great software in this equation.

As for the capacity, Bell didn't offer the 128GB version. But after thinking about it the only time I ever came close to filling a phone with about 20GB Or so of available storage was when I took photos or videos. I almost always stream my music. With the addition of unlimited cloud storage for photos and videos I determined it wasn't going to be a problem.

In terms of resale value, if you keep your phone looking brand new, it isn't hard finding a buyer for the price you ask for in Toronto.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reechings:
Yeah I'm hoping that with the Note 7 going DOA and hopefully increased demand for the Pixel XL that Telus will get their crap together and offer the 128gb version soon.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] brangalm:
128 GB black from Google Store Canada shipped! "Expedited" shipping from Canada Post, even though I only have standard shipping from Google.

Expected delivery by Oct 25 to Edmonton, shipping from Ontario. Hopefully it comes before then as I'll be out of town that entire week, meaning I may not get it until the following week :(
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Weaponx525:
Does anyone know if these Canadian version pixels are carrier locked? I don't care about the bootloader locked or otherwise as I see I'll be leaving it stock.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] emmawilliam834:
Google Pixel XL battery life test result is out. So how did the Pixel XL do?

The answer is good, but not great as the bar of expectations might have been set a bit too far up.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] firewave:
Bell sent me yesterday PM my pre-order. Will have it by tomorrow at noon.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DespairFactor:
Mine is coming today...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Zer0_:
Anybody getting there's shipped from UPS (through Google Store)?

UPS tracking status says expected date of delivery is unknown! :(

I paid extra for expedited shipping, while one of my friends, who ordered literally just yesterday with regular shipping, is receiving it today through Canada Post.

Making me kind of regret paying extra for expedited shipping!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DespairFactor:
I did and mine comes today between 12:15-16:15
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Zer0_:
UPS?

damn.. hopefully they update my tracking info!

Right now it still says "Order Processed: Ready for UPS"
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DespairFactor:
Yeah, UPS, expedited shipping to GTA.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Zer0_:
Lucky you.

I called UPS for some information and they said it will most likely be getting shipped out tomorrow or Monday.

Sucks for me that people are getting it faster through Canada Post though.

Ah well.. what can you do :eek:

Kind of annoyed no Daydream View for Canada and you can not buy it in Canada either.

Pixel/Pixel XL Daydream was supposed to be a big deal.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] PMPB:
Aye, the CAD price is murder, the carrier's have crap options, and no Daydream view up here. On the plus side, Google Canada aced delivery for those who ordered day 1, especially the given free shipping arrived today for me!!!

Just to let anyone know that hasn't purchased one and wanting to do this on a contract.

I called Best Buy and they have a deal right now that if you bring in any phone they give you $150 off, the guy said even a flip phone works. I'm getting this deal along with my $100 preorder Best Buy giftcard.

Not a bad deal at all!

Well Telus has the 128gb version now, thankfully...and I can order it unlike at the Google Store...so I will just have to wait and see until I actually get it.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reechings:
Yeah I walked around the mall today and pretty much every Canadian carrier has it in stock. I actually got to get my hands on a Pixel XL at the Bell store. Really nice phone and was lighter than expected. It still is pretty damn tall though. Of course I am used to an S5. Unfortunately I have a special monthly plan that makes me have to pay full cost of the device and I can't get my head around $1300 plus for a phone.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] du57:
I was told by

the rep that gave me mine that it was locked. But haven't had a chance to try yet
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Weaponx525:
If the phone is locked how does Google guarantee timely updates?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RPAusCan:
I have a Rogers Pixel XL. I was just in Australia last month, and I still have the sim card I used there. It recognized the card and all worked fine, other than I had no balance. So, I'd say it's definitely unlocked!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sabesh:
Anyone seen a Rogers Pixel XL 128gb in stock at any store in the GTA? Thx.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rajeshr:
I don't think Rogers has received any supply of the XL 128GB's as yet. I'm #4 and #11 on their reservation list (for the white and black respectively) and the status has not changed as yet.

I mean tapping my card or phone is not much of a difference but using the phone maybe nice.

The status on my 128MB Silver XL has changed to processing. I ordered around 2:15pm PDT on the 4th. My original delivery estimate was November 18 - 21. I'm not expecting it earlier than that but with the change in status, it'll be a nice surprise to see it ship early.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gabtoof:
I just checked mine (ETA nov 22-29, ordered late in the day on launch day) and it also now shows Processing. Here's hoping (silver 128GB XL)...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lexcyn:
Got it and set it up (took a while).

Build quality compared to my previous 5X is crazy good, very solid. A lot thinner than pictures made it out to be. Weight is just right. Screen is insanely good.

Just waiting for root now haha.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] chef_christoph:
I've received my shipping email. I think it's safe to say I'll have my XL long before the original estimated dates of November 18 - 21.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reechings:
Awesome to hear! Chainfire is waiting for his Pixel to arrive and hopefully root will come not long after that. I really hope development takes off for this device, that's one of the main reasons I'm paying the premium for this device. One other question, I saw on a YouTube review where the quick settings drawer looked almost black. Is there a night mode setting or something? Maybe this thread can be a good resource for little tips and tricks that we all find. Have fun and I'm jealous!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gabtoof:
And now it shows shipped, ETA Oct 31 (to Edmonton).
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lexcyn:
The quick settings panel is the same as the one previous just it has an extra icon (is the pull-down notification area what you were talking about?). There is a night mode but it just turns the screen yellow to make it easy on your eyes.
