Brand is TechFilm. Ordered off Amazon for like $8 I think. It just barely covers the display which is honestly bothering the hell out of me. I just ordered 4 Spartan TGSP's from XtremeGuard. They're having a huge sale. Got 8 protectors(4 for me, 4 for my brother) for $16 shipped. Hoping these turn out well and cover the whole screen but I'm really waiting on intelliGLASS Pro.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] mdecker79:
How are the buttons? I just ordered this case for my pixel and wanted to know if they are stiff or easy to push.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] david.degraw54:
Not stiff at all, very easy to press.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] mdecker79:
Awesome. Thank you
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] stupidchicken03:
Just put my Prime order in.

Will the liquid crystal case yellow over time?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] JasonJoel:
The liquid crystal on my year old 6P is still nice and clear.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] iamhacked:
Yes. Spigen claims the urethane coating helps it to keep from yellowing, but it didn't really help in my experience.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Evo_Shift:
I have never used a case on any of my phones before. Could any of you who have this case tell me if this is normal? It looks like it is probably the injection point or whatever from when they made the case. It bugs the heck out of me, lol. However, if I know it is there on all of them I wouldn't mind as much. It's obviously not on the image they use in their advertising of the case. Thanks.

I also think stuff like this is annoying on a clear case... I know what case I bought so I don't really like the advertising like this that also doesn't show in any of their advertised images but maybe that's normal. I am half tempted to return it but it seems constructed well and the buttons are still nice and clicky so I am not sure.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] thetonyclifton:
Branding is normal, most cases will have that and Spigen's is more subtle than most.

The designed in, made in....will be the law, at least it is in UK, that stuff normally has to be there.

The injection point thing is not normal, I would return for that.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Trooper27:
FYI just picked one of these up on eBay. They are currently down to $10.99 just FYI.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] mdecker79:
I just got mine in and put it on my Pixel (5"). I like it much better then the Pleson. Don't get me wrong the Pleson clear case is also nice but this Spigen Liquid Crystal is just that much better. It's thinner and the buttons are very easy to push.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] epimetheus13:
My wife and I just upgraded to Pixels (Pixel for her and Pixel XL for me, both Really Blue). I got her the Pleson case and I got the Spigen Liquid Crystal. We're returning her Pleson and have a Spigen Liquid Crystal for her arriving today. The Pleson buttons were too plush and hard to press. The Spigen buttons feel just like pressing them directly on the phone itself, good tactile feedback back through the case. The only down side is there are some edges on the Spigen that are pretty sharp, particularly the bottom of the cutouts for the headphone and USB C connectors. Definitely not a deal breaker by any means, just the only real critique I could come up with.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Rippley05:
I like this case, but the sides of up cone up a little too far. It's a bit sharp and just sticks out a bit much above the screen. Still a good case tho
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] stupidchicken03:
Mine looks the same at the injection point on bottom.

Got my case in on Friday. Been using it all weekend, so far its been great.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] kachaffeous:
Same dot on bottom of mine also
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] James4.0:
I have a tiny dot on the bottom of mine to.

The case feels slicker then I thought it would be.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] ru55ian:
Case is great, got it last week. Same injection point but barely visible on the silver phone
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Servaas:
Does anyone have or know how to get this firmware? It would seem that flashing the 5.0 fw using this thread gets you a tablet thats un updatable through the Asus procedure. The reason for downgrading is to add another user to the tablet.

https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-898...F8&qid=1475845781&sr=8-3&keywords=insta+share

Posted this over in the Z Force forum, but figure it's worth posting here as well. I was debating getting it before... Gratned, $250 is still not cheap, but $50 less made it a little easier for me to pull the trigger.

The downside is Amazon is out of stock right now... says it'll ship in 3 to 4 weeks, so that's a bummer.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Logan0829:
So anytime I send a snap to someone or post on my story the text in the snap becomes very little to the left side. My dpi is standard for 1440 x 2560 and I don't know how to fix it. It's very annoying and hard to read. Someone please help. (Posted screenshot)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xgerryx:
Did you adjust the DPI at all? Only thing I can think of. Thats super weird.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Logan0829:
Yes but I've changed it back and set it to multiple dpi's. No luck. Even factory reset it. Nothing.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bonk3rzzz:
A factory reset should surely reset the dpi. Many apps have issues playing nice with an overridden dpi, specifically the functionalities that include resizing or cropping.

Try an "adb shell wm density reset && adb reboot" command for good measure
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Logan0829:
thank you so much!!! It worked
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bonk3rzzz:
Sure, no problem. Glad to help :)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hoodeddeathman:
Bad news for you guys in the US, seems like Verizon has taken control of updates for their handsets and those purchased in Best buy. Poor show from Google but it was probably the only way they could sign up with a major carrier over there. Google is doing security updates however.

http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/6/13191614/verizon-google-pixel-android-updates
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
* potentially * bad news. Won't know for sure until the first major update.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Xak:
Why is it bad for us in the US the smart people know verizon and play store version is same price pretty much such as me I bought play store version only new android users who saw add on verizon and don't know about stock android bloat free will go for verizon verizon pixel will have bloat +1 i got play store stock varient

---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

I saw apost by verizon saying it will control the updates sucks for verizon pixel users.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
I still say it is only potentially bad news, but maybe I'm just optimistic. If V can get the updates out with a month or two, I'll be happy.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] clapper66:
Since the Google version and Verizon version are identical with hardware I hope some dev finds away to flash the stock Google image to a verizon pixel. Kinda like the one phone amazon was selling with ads(I believe it was the Motorola phone).
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] panpanpie:
Anyone know the details on the Google version not having Wi-Fi calling and hd voice?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hoodeddeathman:
I can tell you from experience that my N6P was a google store purchase running on the EE network here in the UK. I did get WiFi calling but despite the network supporting it and allegedly the phone too I never got VOLTE (Did have HD voice but that's been standard in the UK for years now)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] iceman4357:
This is the exact reason I ordered the Verizon version. I wanted to ensure I got Wifi calling, HD voice and visual voicemail.

A few sites have already confirmed that there is minimal bloatware that can be uninstalled. Although it might take a little longer for updates it cant be worse than AT&T that I have currently.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mazdababy0:
It will have to have WiFi calling since they run projectFi.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] biggiestuff:
I want to know how updates will be handled if you have a T-Mobile sim in a Verizon pixel
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] schwem:
I too pre-ordered the Verizon variant. Google wont allow Verizon to hang onto the updates very long anyways which I don't even care about. I am just concerned with the Verizon HD voice and Wifi calling. I also don't care that the bootloader is locked. Custom roms are buggy as hell (I know I'm on one now on my G3) and they usually break important features. I also get a free daydream VR headset which cosys $100 and the Google Store purchasers don't get anything free! Haha
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dems86:
Pre-Orders from the Google Store get a free Daydream VR headset too
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] schwem:
Oh, my bad. Good stuff. Can't wait to walk around blindly breaking all kinds of stuff in the house. My wife's really gonna love this contraption! Haha. Let's see how fast this thing goes in a droor to collect dust.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
The Google store version will have this available for both

T-Mobile and Verizon sims. You don't have to buy it from Verizon for this feature. Also project Fi uses it as well.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] razor237:
I don't think or should i say hope :D that there will not be that much of a delay , maybe a one to two week delay if that. I would say that google might delay the official non beta release to time more with Verizon :( to make it seem like they are pushing them out faster at lease for the first major update. I honestly cant see it taking that long for Verizon to test reliability on the network. since the phone will still be mostly pure android there isn't much else for Verizon to get there paws on to mess with besides the 3 apps they have on there. a few weeks will still be better then any other android out there , I think the fastest ive seen a device besides a nexus get the current android version was around 3 months or longer so anything has to be better then that lol

This could be hopeful thinking cause i ordered through Verizon :)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
Verizon has a bad record of not delivering as promised. They also don't respect pure Android and will surely bog it down with all of their crap software. They also will take their sweet time with updates as they do with every other device, even when the manufacturer said they will be timely. All companies except apple get burnt with Verizon. Big Red could care less about what their customers want. As long as you are using their service, they got you. And with the Verizon Pixel, you have no other options. I hope I am wrong, but it's Verizon we are talking about.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] razor237:
Well there is always another option , buy from google store lol :) . Very true Verizon sucks balls when it comes to updates for anything :( wont argue with that ... maybe they will surprise us all with the Pixel ?? yeah probably not lol. I wonder how much worse or better the other carriers are? i don't remember att being all that much better but i only had one android with them
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
You could buy it from Google store and then pop a Verizon sim in it. Then you would have the Google version on Verizon service. You wouldn't be at the mercy of Verizon that way.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] razor237:
I know, but decided to just get though verizon could be a bad choice but not really that big of a deal, ill keep my 6P if i have the urge to tinker lol
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] schwem:
I can't understand why people always say the Verizon is bad at pushing updates. For at least the last 3 years they are the first of all major U.S. carriers to push updates to LG and Samsung. Don't know about HTC as I've never owned one but my LG G2, G3 and G4 all got their updates before any of the other carriers and the same with my Note 7 for the 2 small updates it did receive. Verizon will handle the Pixel's updates just fine. They always did with all the latest flagships for years now. I think people just have an advanced hatred for Verizon for god knows what reason but I've tried every major U.S. carrier and Verizon is hands down the best. The limited data crap sucks but now it's technically unlimited but throttled after you blow through the amout you pay for. I'm more than happy to get my Pixel XL through Verizon. They always deliver and never ask questions if I have a faulty device.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
They were definitely slow in Motorola Turbo and Turbo 2 uodates, but I will say that Motorola had to do multiple versions of those updates as they had serious issues... So hard to tell if that was V's fault or not.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] razor237:
Well they all suck for updates, when a new os is released all manufacturers should be required to updated compatible phones with in a month or so of release........ the real blame lies with google for allowing each manufacturer so much control of putting there own spin on android's interface with out limits on how much they change, this is what really slows down the updates then and carrier testing for there networks
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CollinFX45:
Agreed. I bought the Verizon version because they gave me $200 for an old half-dead G2 sitting in a drawer that I was saving for a rainy day like this. While I would have liked to get the Google version, I would rather finance the phone on my Verizon bill and it's going to be used with Verizon anyhow. There are other small perks to buying it on Verizon aside from the generous trade in, like an extra "free" 2gb of data per month for buying a phone and warranty support directly with the carrier (my previous Nexus experience leaves me never wanting to deal with Google directly again).

I'd still say the Google store version is the better phone for someone who wants to unlock/flash/etc. but I hope to enjoy my Verizon one just the same (as long as updates don't take too long).

-Collin-
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
Agreed. They all suck. Some years it's one carrier over another but Verizon usually takes the cake. A Google device should get the update the same day Google releases it. Not 6 months or later. Not a single carrier gives any sort of urgency to maintaining current software. Google should play a bigger hand in it. Hopefully the Pixel is a whole new era for Google and we see change.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] schwem:
Wow! Never seen so many self entitled people in my life! So Verizon should just throw the uodate out there without testing, without maintaining compatibility with their unique network that offers wifi calling, HD voice etc. that others don't', or do but in an entirely different way. Ok, then we'd be here with all the crybabies singing a completely different tune. It'd go from "we deserve the updates the day the O.S. is released because I say so and that's all that matters in the whole world" to " I can't believe Verizon released such a buggy update without even testing it, I bought a Google device subsidised by Verizon because I thought Verizon has to make sure it's not buggy because I said so and that's all that matters in the whole world"! You guys crack me up! I just bought a Chevy truck, you guys think I should go on social media and give them a hard time because I can't upgrade to the newer year model the day it's released!? I mean come on! I bought the truck from a dealer because I thought the dealer would have all the bugs worked out before selling it and make sure I could update it the same day the newer model is released! This generation of self entitled me me me me me gimme gimme gimme people are what's wrong with technology and why companies like Samsung sold exploding phones. We want it now no matter what the cost. Even if it means small children getting burned and people burning to death in bed. Verizon will release the updates when they feel they're streamlined enough to run on their network the way they have designed their network to run. Otherwise they'll have endless complaints about how awful Verizon is for releasing untested buggy software. All I can do is standby and watch the crying commence! Ridiculous!!!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Gizmoe:
Woah dude. Relax. I could point out everything wrong with what you just said and how you said it. But it's a waste of time. Just chill.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] iceman4357:
Verizon WILL NOT DELAY UPDATES

Just read this article and figured with so many people complaining about Verizon slowing the process, I would share.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/10/12/verizon-says-will-not-delay-system-updates-pixel/

"The Verizon Pixel will get system updates "at the same time as Google.""

I preordered with Verizon to make sure VoLTE and HDvoice, Wifi calling, etc. worked, but this is even better news

Eric
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] schwem:
Ha, at least that ended that nonsense. Now, who really cares how fast they push an update that will most likely break several things anyway? 8% of people who'll actually buy the device that's who. It's a great device, Verizon has their ups and down but has hands down the best cell service minus the speed of their 4g and system updates don't mean squat 90% of the time so it's not worth making such a big deal about how fast they break your device with an update. I made a bug deal about you guys making a big deal about something that noone important cares about and you guys quickly got upset with me. See how that works? Negative nonsense spreads negative nonsense so maybe if we talk about how great it would be if Verizon kicked out the updates super fast instead of being pessimistic? All 4 of my previous devices got updated each update ahead of other carriers through Verizon. They are the fastest as of late and that's plain to see. Google it. The Motorola droid turbo was a problem for both motorola and Verizon. You can't blame Verizon alone for that nughtmare. Lenova is destroying Motorola bit by bit. Lenova is the only one to blame there. Anyways, sorry it got dark for a second. Just thought that's what it'd take for people to not have to read post after post of negative crap about a nonexistent update process that we have no clue how it will go be it is yet to be determined since noone even physically owns a Verizon varisnt Pixel or XL yet. Take care guys. Sorry it got weird! Haha
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] clapper66:
In my opinion what should happen is Google should be managing android updates and for the Verizon bloat or whatever is on it from Verizon this software should be updated through the play store.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] schwem:
What'd you say about my Grandma?! Haha, jk man. I really was but wasn't making a big deal of it. I was, for shock value and for the simple fact that it is what it is and no matter how many people throw their hands up, Verizon's gonna do what Verizon does. 2ndly (if that's a word) I just like messin with people. I don't call names or talk about their grandmother's but I just preordered a phone with a locked bootloader for $900 so I'm entitled to a little fun on XDA. Harmless fun I might add. No biggie man. I don't care either way. Update now, later or never. The phone's still gonna be the same phone. I never understood the big stank everyone makes about updates. Everyone I've gotten on every device I've owned had only made the device run worse, never better so I'd assume they keep them. Anyways, sorry I got you to the point of bringin up my grandma (whom are all dead by the way) and we'll all have to just wait and see how this whole Verizon/Google marriage is gonna pan out. By the way, I'll be back for some more useless rhetoric and shenanigans just to forewarn. Take care guys

I'm also willing to bet that, even if unintended, the stock Google Pixel firmware will be flashable onto the VZW "branded" Pixel phones...
