w00t, i had to refresh the page about 10+ times and managed to add it in cart, and went through the finance part, and once i returned back to the cart, the phone wasn't in my cart anymore. :( .... i then refreshed it about 10+ more times and it glitched out until i was able to add it to the cart. this time it managed to take me all the way to the page to confirm the order. Order placed and confirmed, i got the email confirmation that i ordered it! rather its a glitch in the system that is allowing us to temporarily order it or there's so many people trying to order it right now that its hard to even complete the order. :cowboy:;):p:good:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] AlSimmons:
It had to be too may people ordering or a glitch. Couldn't order through Google chrome, switched to explorer order done with Google finance 23rd-25th as ship date.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 4iiiidnerd:
I wonder if they're just using that ship date at random; "Hey, let's pick some crazy far off date!" It's the same date I got, ordered on 17th. Maybe they'll mail it much earlier :cool:

or right on time!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] blaksmyth:
It's crazy, I actually got the email for being on the wait list. stating the black 128gb pixel xl was available for purchase. Expected delivery Nov 23-25. Pretty happy about it, wasn't expecting to be contacted.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
One of those links for the 128GB Very Silver actually worked and allowed me to preorder one with a delivery date of Nov 23-25th. While clicking it directly in the Playstore just directs you to the wait list. Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sgtguthrie:
I called and asked, and they told me that it's a worst case scenario date. They know shipments are coming in to fill the orders, but they don't know the exact date they'll arrive (probably on ships from HTC in Taiwan) so they give you a date they know they'll get it to you by. Realistically, it will probably be much sooner, as they'll ship them as soon as they have them.

Basically, under-promise and over-deliver.

All variants are available for order again except blue. Just a heads up to anyone who cares.

I seem to be taking too long to finalize my order, gets an error once I submit and then my cart is empty and out of stock.. lol

It has said quantities limited, I can only buy one, order or purchase already in process.. Error submitting try again later..
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] unknownnoob:
Just keep refreshing the page until you can get all the way through the order...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] clockcycle:
I've tried and tried several times had phone in cart and submit fails. I checked bank account and even shows a pending authorization but no $$. Google doesn't show any transactions completed. It may be the recent DDOS by hacked internet connected appliances on networks that connect the internet or not. Tried with other browsers and same result. Transactions with othe sites have also failed, Comcast, Cricket Wireless, as well as the Google store.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] licensedtoquill:
I SIM unlocked to use T-Mobile with my SX66 to do a comparison with my Wizard to see how this BA performs: I cant figure out if this is an older unit (05 versus 06??) or a newer one (400 MHz rather than 190 and a 2 megaixel camera on the camera units rather than a 1.3???) and installed Helmi, which has lots of features I don't need but which seems to be the only WM6 ROM around for this unit (?).

Installation went fine and without a hitch but now on boot up, I don't get a splash screen of whatever type: I get the initial bootloader screen, which is curious! But seems to be correct. However on that screen on soft reset, it shows the OS correctly but with a R 1.02.10 and a G of 1337.35. What is unusual is that on hard reset it shows both these settings as empty. Only on soft reset does it show the radio etc.

Slightly more worryingly (as I would like to test out VoIP on this unit) this BA wont connect to the Internet. WLAN is off by default and turning it on just flashes up a list of local WiFi LANs: It wont actually connect to any of them. it does take you through the steps and asks all the seemingly obvious questions (Is this the Internet or a work VPN? WHY SHOULD YOU CARE??) and at the end of the process, it just doesn't connect. Even more annoyingly, when it doesnt connect, it turns WLAN off again, so you don't really know when it did this (or, of course, why). It takes you through all the steps and then gives you the Configure Wireless Networks screen which shows all local networks which you KNOW to be available as "unavailable".

Is this a known problem with Helmi or does anyone recognise what I am doing wrong please?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] player_no1:
I had the same problem with my BLUEANGEL (MDA III). The Upgrade to WM6 was totally ok. Everything is working, except the WLAN. Did you tried this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=343862
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] licensedtoquill:
No, it just keeps disconnecting (things getting worse)

The WLAN started trying to connect as I describe but now just doesn't even turn on in Comm Mgr.

Also tried upgrading to xplode but BA loses communication during the upgrade process. (Attempted to ask Xplode himself on that thread and will see if he has any idea)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] badass7:
i donno if this helps but wad i did was i turned on bluetooth. thn i turned on wifi.

it detected my wifi router entered my wep key thn logged on to internet. thn i switched off my bluetooth. i tried surfing and was ok.

i switched off wifi waited awhile thn turn on wifi.. it works flawlessly..for now :)

edit: u gotta use comms manager :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] licensedtoquill:
Yes, although bluetooth was already working, this seems to do something: I dont know what it is but it appears to be some combination of turning off and turning on again all sorts of things in CommMgr. Now it is working.

I wonder how long it will continue to work? It certainly doesnt let me open VoIP settings while connected. I still get a fatal exception when I try to do so and even though I have inputted all my VoIP settings, VoIP still doesnt work.

Still trying to figure out whether Xplode knows what is causing my failure to communicate WHILE upgrading from Helmi to Xplode.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] badass7:
i am a noobie so i don't understand the term VoIP yet as i haven't read thru all FAQs and technical stuff lol pardon my noobness haha

anyway i wanted to update that today very early in morning when i tried using

wifi again the normal way but could not so i followed the steps again... and when it was working i pushed the reset button and till now which is abt 12hrs later still works ok ... i do not noe if its by chance or there is no way it shld work by my steps but it works for me and i hope it works for u too :)

btw i am using helmi's rom if it helps :)

cheers

I have made an interesting discovery about this flaky WiFi on the Blue Angel

Often when I try to connect using IE and it says it isn't connected, it IS. I often get the message that I cant connect with the usual reference to completely useless settings pages or an offer to dismiss and give up on the internet connection.

But if I ignore it, I find that I mysteriously AM connected.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Questions & Answers] alaska100:
just got my Phab 2 from lenovo today. trying various methods and will report if anything works.

kingoroot - no
[Lenovo Phab 2 Questions & Answers] alaska100:
Well just made it through my first day of using the phab 2.

Some good, some bad.

Battery life is not what I expected. 100% to 50% from 10am to 8pm. Moderate usage, Waze navigation for about 10 minutes. I came from a Huawei mate 2, so my standards are pretty high.

Some glitches setting up Bluetooth with Microsoft sync. Would not reconnect after initial setup without turning car off. Although, I will note that sync has had its own issues.

No root means no app settings, everything is too big.

The stock launcher is outrageously boring and not customizable. I could not find any real settings to adjust icon size, or even to change icons.

Now for the good:

Overall Android build is very stable and quick, no hangups with many apps running.

Display is very crisp for being a low-end model, and includes settings to adjust tone and color intensity.

Very little bloatware.

Camera is actually pretty good. Not perfect, but ok for 200$.

Plenty of good comments about 6.0, as I came from 4.3, but I'll spare the entire Android review.

But, this is what makes me never want to buy a Lenovo phone again. I called lenovo to get some basic specs on this phone that were not verified online. I went through 10 minutes of automated dialog and 5 different phone numbers. No one knew who to talk to about this phone. They're so focused on the big customers that they forgot to provide any support for what may be their biggest seller? On top of that, the guy I finally got in contact with at technical support was baffled that I would call about something other than a desktop or laptop, and did not have the information about this device on hand. This isn't a problem, as I got what I needed, but it almost seemed like no one was aware that this device was even available yet. Nothing in their support site references it, no real technical detail available, etc.

Anyways, I digress. There aren't many other 6.4inch phones available, so I can't complain too much. Overall, Im enjoying the experience. Plus, it gets attention.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Questions & Answers] TVCCS:
Where did you get this... I've been looking to get one but haven't found a source...I'm assuming you're saying battery life is weaker than on the HAM2? Thanks again
[Lenovo Phab 2 Questions & Answers] alaska100:
Directly from lenovo. Yes, but the ham2 is pretty much the top tier in terms of battery life.

After a few days with it, I can go all day with Bluetooth Pandora, 2+hours straight of screen on time, 30 mins of Waze and have 40% left. I'd say it's doing pretty good for a standard phone. A few issues I've had are, the stock alarm app notification gets stuck and cannot be dismissed on occasion. A restart fixes this. Bluetooth AND Microsoft Sync have to be reset when a failed connection happens (this also occurred on my ham2, but only once every 2 months. This is once a day.) There are always 2 network icons in the notification bar for some reason.

On the up side, the camera has proven to be excellent in standard lighting. Pictures take a while to 'click.'

Touch response is very clean, will say I'm impressed with either the phones accuracy or androids ability to detect where a touch was meant.

My biggest pet peeve is also one of my favorite features. The navigation buttons are so dim that you can't see them in the daytime, but they're also so close together for such a large phone. But, this gives you plenty of room to grasp the phone without exiting an app by mistake, or bringing up a menu midst message.

Anyhow, I'll gladly answer any questions anyone has.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Questions & Answers] TVCCS:

[Lenovo Phab 2 Questions & Answers] Synman:
We're going to need to get a read back of the ROM from SP Flash tool to get root I think. What we really need is a TWRP build. I've tried quite a few variations for our chipset but haven't found one that even remotely boots yet.

hopefully we some others engage. i've got stuff I need to do with this phone, a few of which require root access of some kind.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Questions & Answers] shinhosuck1973:
I hope you find a way to root phab 2. Why would they lock down the fastboot? Isn't the android open source? Slowly becoming like iOS.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Questions & Answers] Synman:
fast boot isn't locked down, nor is the boot loader (once you unlock it). The problem is none of the MTK tools that I have are working like they are supposed to.

I've started a DEV thread with the stock images attached. Perhaps someone else will have better luck
[Lenovo Phab 2 Questions & Answers] shinhosuck1973:
My device is from Philippines. I unlocked the bootloader, but from recovery I cannot access bootloader. Device would not let me choose bootloader even though has the option, and from fastboot reboot, the device would not reboot.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Questions & Answers] Synman:
the boot loader IS fast boot. Lenovo devices are notorious for allowing you one fast boot command per boot into the loader.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Questions & Answers] shinhosuck1973:
what do you mean by one fast boot command per boot into the loader?
[Lenovo Phab 2 Questions & Answers] Synman:
You can only issue a single fastboot command before having to reboot back into the boot loader to issue another.

while u r on wifi, after turning off wifi pop up comes up saying connect data always, i m selecting OFF everytime.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Questions & Answers] Kramiix:
If resetting app preferences on settings doesn't work then you can go to;

Settings > App > (show system apps ny clicking the three dots on upper right corner) > find and click settings > then click clear data. Then voila all good again, never click the prompt of mobile data "always" just always click Turn off mobile data

Yeah same. Thats why i sometimes just turnin on my airplane mode for that prompt not to appear lol

First of all unlocked the bootloader and then pushed the recovery downloaded from this forum via fastboot command. And then booted into recovery by holding volume + & - and power button at a time. It just took me to stock recovery.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Questions & Answers] stewbuntu:
I agree after a day of use, the icon size was the first thing I noticed when it turned on. I immediately downloaded multicon to make them smaller. I'm coming from CyanogenMod on a few Samsung notes and an LG G3 so I'm really hoping to root and get more settings.

I'm just starting research, but did you get Xposed or anything else for more features like increasing the grid amount to get smaller icons, or to keep the home buttons lit while the screen is on, etc? Just curious where people ended up after rooting and what's available and what doesn't work that well. I saw the sticky'd root thread and the unlock bootloader in my developer options, which is great. Hoping w fingers crossed it will lead somewhere satisfying. Worst case I can get "ARU unchained reloaded" running after rooting it.

I almost went with the BLU Energy XL but it had no support on xda. I'm glad I found the Phab 2 on techbargains the other night, I'm loving the screen size for the price!

It's too bad all the companies are getting away from user replaceable batteries tho - It was one of my favorite things about Androids besides micro SD cards.
