Wow. Coming from a LG V10, which I loved, I feel like this is def a decent step forward. I have yet to see how batter power is but for now I'm impressed with the software and how fast and smooth the phone is. I haven't started gaming on it yet. Mainly setting up apps for work. I got mine this morning at 10.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gwallers:
I'm coming from Nexus 6P and i'm equally impressed!! Enjoying it so far!!!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ChrisAC84:
I haven't gotten mine yet, but I'm coming from the Note 7. I hope I am equally impressed
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] skinnytoo2:
Coming from N7 and I am sooooo happy right now. Super super fast and smooth absolutely no lag like N7 had. All I can say is WOW (copied OP, but so true)
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
I like the pixel xl MUCH more than I do my 6P. I especially like the size and screen more. I always thought the 6P was too big/too tall though.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nutpn:
Are you gonna sell your 6?

I'm gonna wait awhile on the pixel.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gwallers:
Haven't really put much thought to it but it does have a crack in top left of screen. Still works fine just hairline crack. Huawei wanted 163 to repair. Decided to get pixel xl and couldn't he happier. Best Android phone I have owned and I have had all the top tier devices.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hitman3984:
I work for a Verizon retailer, we got our stock in today and I really enjoyed messing with it.

Makes it REALLY hard to wait for mine to ship from google in November....

Coming from S7 Edge
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dmb219:
I've got a November ship date also and checked out an XL today. Really nice phone. I think we'll get it earlier than stated.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hitman3984:
can hope
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hollowlog:
I share everyone's sentiments here. I received my XL today.

A few things...

1) Coming from a 6P that I love, I am in love with the size of the XL. It doesn't feel like a big phone. It's not unwieldy and it feels more pocketable. I know the size difference isn't huge on paper, but it's more tightly engineered. It doesn't feel top heavy. It's just more comfortable to hold. It doesn't feel a lot bigger than an iPhone 7.

2) I'm not in love with the black, though. It's more of a grey. It's not ugly, I just wish it was darker.

3) I know it's early, but damn it's smooth. No hiccups or stutters on my end.

4) I was using the Pixel launcher on the 6P. I love it.

5) Like the 6P, I enjoy the fingerprint reader on the back. It just makes sense. It even feels better here.

6) The hardware is flawless. Samsung and Apple flawless.

7) This started with Nougat, but I enjoy how the contact pictures show up on my 2016 Impala infotainment center. Other manufacturers have had this, so it's a nice addition.

8) It smelled good when I opened the box.

9) The lack of waterproofing is a bummer, but whatever. I've never dropped a phone in water. (I do have my iPhone 7 in my shower. I use it only as an iPod)

10) I really like it. Google did a hell of a job.

11) I know it won't be mentioned much, but Google nailed the launch. 2 weeks between preorder and delivery! Last year we waited nearly a month. I think the same thing happened with the Nexus 6. Everyone lauds how Apple does it, Google just did it too.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hitman3984:
this part I disagree with! lol I ordered day one and have a month wait.

other then that, with playing with it at work I'd agree.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] West Coast Charlie:
Someone Please comment about the audio quality
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ZaborgZaloog:
^Especially the headphone Jack
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
I listened to music for an hour or so yesterday with the headphone jack. It sounded fine. But I admit that I'm not super picky in this area.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Apex i ITR:
And some of us got them a day early. I like your review of the smell of the box. LOL. Yeah day and I'm even more impressed with the phone. looking for cool ways to use Google assistant.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Apex i ITR:
Yeah I havent had a reason to use headphones. Speaker phone is loud and clear though.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AndrasLOHF:
I intitially balked about the screen shrinking, then I remembered how I was initially against getting the 6P due to it's large screen size lol.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
Just so I don't sound like a 'fanboy'...

One thing I find a little annoying on the pixel is that the auto brightness adjuster makes the screen too bright for my tastes.

I have the brightness slider almost all of the to the left.

Not a big deal, but I'm not sure why the default brightness is so high.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] chromecastultra.com:
same here

Was very exited to get my Pixel phone earlier than stated. Speaker phone sounds loud and clear and audio sound in general was great.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ChrisAC84:
I love mine. Only gripe I have (besides the bezels which I'll get used to) is the power button. It doesn't feel as "clicky" and it requires more force than I would like. Something I'll get used to, I'm sure. Just a minor negative
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] West Coast Charlie:
I read from somewhere (sorry no links and I can't remember where atm) that it's only with the bezels that the pixel would sit balanced in the Daydream VR, if they got rid of the chin, it would sit a little lopsided?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hollowlog:
Another thing to add....

I am getting much better reception with the Pixel than I have ever gotten with any other phone. At home I have a Microcell. The signal is so dismal that I must have one. Before the Microcell, I was missing calls, texts and couldn't get any LTE. Not anymore. I have nearly full bars (yes, I know bars are relative). This is a relief. Microcells are notorious for keeping you from being able to send MMS.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Ssanai80:
native tethering works with ULD?

Anyone has unlimited data plan and have tried using the native tethering/hotspot to see if it works without the subscription?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
There are multiple other threads on using it with Verizon. If you are on another carrier, you may want to start a new thread.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] adamsweeting:
This thing is so good at VR.....

Just spent about 40 mins watching some 360 3D movies, which would have hosed my N6P - and it's not even warm!

The headtracking is soooo smooth. The potential is going to be huge
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] iceman4357:
Agree. The double tap for quick camera launch is clumsy. That and I hate on the messenger that I can not remove the colored large letters next to peoples names. Other than that this phone is easily the best Android device.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] larsdennert:
It was definitely worth walking into a VZW store to see them in person. The blue was pretty cool but I ended up ordering the silver from Google. Still not nearly as nice a phone as the LG G4 or Moto X but I'm on the third G4 for motherboard issues and the Pure can't be gotten anymore the way I want.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] treIII:
Did anyone remember the original HTC one? HTC build quality is top notch. HTC flagships are nice. They revolutionized phones when the HTC one got two front facing speakers. They also changed cell phones when they made the HTC one out of aluminum. When they bring out the first phone without buttons this spring, again they will change phones design language. This phone is not a copy of an iPhone. HTC has been making aluminum smart phones for a while now. If this was an HTC phone and was exactly the same as now it wouldn't sell well if it performed the same, same camera quality etc.. HTC is Android. It's who Google chose to make the first Nexus so it only makes sense that they were chosen to make first the pixel. They get a bad name from people who have never tried one of their phones more so than needed. They make a quality product and while in my hand I KNOW I'm holding an HTC phone. Beaups and Jcase unlocked our Verizon model Pixel phone because it's an HTC phone. The quality is HTC. The software is Google. It's really that simple.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dermotti:
Dont forget the first android phone, Google G1 (htc)?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gheymann:
I'm glad it worked out that way for you, but if you read this thread's posts it did not go that well for everyone.

1) ordered 32 gb Pixel Xl because stock of the 128 Pixel xl was severely limited (1 week)

2) ordered 128gb Pixel xl once stock was available cancelled 32gb order sitting on Pre-order (2 weeks)

3) order for 128 gb Pixel xl changed from Pre-order to Pending sitting on Pending (2 weeks)

4) order for 128gb Pixel xl changed from Pending to Processing account charged as of yesterday (2nd day of Processing and total of 5 weeks and counting)

So although mockinglly.... It was better than my experience of ordering the 6P on launch day which was 6+ weeks for the Frosty 64gb model it hasn't been a fluid

or positive experience. Many others are still waiting for their preferred model or storage option to be available for order. As of this morning there are no Models of the Pixel XL available 32 or 128gb in any color.

SO.......saying that Google just did it too, is just a gross exageration!
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippo7kyller:
Hi guys, I've repaired my Z3+ but now the proximity sensor stays always on so on phone call the screen stay black even if I press the power button.

Is there a way to disable the sensor so I can enable and lock screen on call just by the power button? I'm seeing some app on the play store but I prefer a tips from you before make some other damage.

If it's possible without root, but if the only solution need root (so unlock the bootloader) I'll do it.

Thank you
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zemetal:
have you tried flashing the phone?
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippo7kyller:
Nope, if possible I would try other chance and then go to flash the phone for the last chance
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zemetal:
you can flash the phone with the correct version and region, just select flash system only, you won't lose any of your data, i did that several time for testing mods, don't forget to backup TA partitions if your BL is locked, just in case :highfive:

P.S: you don't need to unlock bootloader to flash the system partition ;)
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zippo7kyller:

I would really like to purchase the Samsung Qi fast wireless charger

but I have a few questions about it before I buy one.

#1: How much slower is the fast wireless Qi charger when compared to

the standard samsung fast usb charger which comes with the phone?

#2: Does the phone get hot or very warm when it's charging wirelessly?

#3: Does the phone charge slower when it has a one piece case on it?

Thanks in advance,

Have a great day!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] |Night|:
#1, add around 30% time to charge

#2 Not that i have noticed

#3 Depends on the case

It´s just with me or it is difficult to put the phone on the right place to charge

http://www.a4c.com/catalogsearch/result?q=samsung+fast+wireless+charger

I bought one from here and it was legit (not fake). Buy one and if you don't like it, send it back. I dock my phone every night I go to sleep. It has a very quite fan noise and the charging light notification is bright, but some electrical tape can take care of it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Misterjunky:
re: Wireless Charger

What I was asking for were answers to my three questions from users who have

the Samsung Wireless QI Charger and have used it and have experience with it.. LOL

I already knew that I can send it back/return it if I don't like it, That's what I am trying to avoid!!!

Thanks for the reply...

Have a great day!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] chernabog88008:
I have both, the flat and the tilted charger from Samsung. I got an extra at Radio Shack going out of business, gutted it, and put it under the cubby hole in my car to charge while driving. The flat one I have next to my computer and use it rarely. The tilted charger, be warned. The lip of it where the phone sits is extremely narrow; 3 weeks after I got my Edge 7, it became an Olympic ski jumper, slid off the charger, off the desk, and right into the metal rail on my bed and cracked the housing at the charging port. I really only use the home chargers when I go to bed, and the one in my car while driving 40 miles to and from work. I like them because I've been getting Ringke cases that have port covers, and using the wireless, I don't risk marring the finish trying to connect a cable. It's funny how many people see it, either at work, or when I installed it in the car, and really like the idea. I never take my case off to charge, and never really notice it being any hotter than if I were using it for an extended time period.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] leyvatron:
I know, but you are thinking of buying one. I'm simply giving you a link, if you decide to buy one, to a REAL Samsung fast wireless charger for a good price. The market is flooded with fake ones at low prices. Usually, if the price is fairly low, then it's a fake Samsung product.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] nmm81:
Every time i use it (with s6 edge+ or s7 edge) it charges, no problem at all, even with the cases (s6e+ has verus high pro shield and s7e has spigen case rugged armor)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] MohamedYousri:
I don't have Samsung QI Charger, I got my QI Wireless Charger from Anker, Very great quality for the half of price and do the same job :o

Since i am not using fast charging via cable and always charge the regular - slow - way so i got the regular one from Anker, Charge time is as same as the cable time.

No major heat or something just the regular warmth, and working fine with cases.

I like it, very easy to just place the phone and wake away , no cables or USB Port damage, Won't back to regular charge ;)

Dear XDA,

I heard that the s7 and the s7e sometimes have gray bars on the display after months of use. Are these troll posts or is this a well documented issue? :eek:

They're definitely not troll posts. No widespread issue either. There are only a dozen isolated cases I came across on various internet platforms.

they are over 100 units of s7 edge with that problem!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Yaya444:
Major disaster on s7 edge Exynos SM-G935F after 3 months. Vertical colour lines running the right side of screen. Phone heats up to 41c. Battery drains to 80% in half an hour then screen starts flashing.

No warranty in u.s.a. A real goatf**k. Will never buy another Sammy product again. Have many cheap phones that never die.

Took the phone completely apart and back together without resolve. Anyone interested in seeing pics of the operation? Lol

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Yaya444:
Strongly recommend not doing this. Make no mistake you will shatter the back glass. Even with heat and careful removal. Only when you have nothing to loose in this case. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ecg803:
I took my s7 edge apart and put it back together. It work just fine. The one thing u must have patients.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Yaya444:
True! In this case it's best to destroy it.

Removed and reconnected the little display cable

to no avail. Still not sure if it's a bad display or what. Even Sammy doesn't know what is causing the note 7 disaster.

Still using it however as a hand warmer. Just in time for winter.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ecg803:
well with those lines in it u would have to buy screen for it and they are not cheap.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Yaya444:
I figured that it would be the screen but checked the display cable just in case. Well back to the reliable moto g that took the blurry pictures. SAD day. Lol still better than iPhone. Haha.

BTW, when the screen is off the phone runs cool even when running apps. Must be a short in the screen heating it up.

So has anyone been able to fix this problem of not being able to use Good on the Tilt?

I've heard a patch may be coming from HTC but nothing confirmed.

Just wondering if anyone else has had any luck with this.

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mfrazzz:
You might do a search over on the Wizard WM6 forum. There was discussion about Goodlink and people trying to get it to work on WM6 there. I seem to recall there may have been a workaround but not sure.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jussonice:
I use goodlink on my Tilt and it works fine. Is there anything specific you are having trouble with? Such as installation or the running of the application... maybe I could help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mbn:
Good is great on Tilt

I'm using Good on my Tilt as well. I've actually had less problems on this device using Good than on my previous 2.

Just because the Good icon isn't in your program folder like it was on the 8525, don't be alarmed. You don't need the 'Get Good' icon to actually get Good. What I suggest you do is hard reset and then go to get.good.com with your browser. I find that when Good is the first piece of software installed, it works best because it really takes over a lot of the phone so that's why if you've loaded up a bunch of apps, it might be wise to start completely over with a fresh install.

Download the little installer app from that site and then run it, put in your email address and a your code, which is sent by your IT dept and then let the install run uninterrupted for about 20-30 min. You should have NO problems with it.

FWIW, when I called my IT dept to let them know I bought a new device and needed to get a new code from the good server he said to me 'you know Good won't work on a Mobile 6 device, don't you?' He was wrong, I knew he was wrong, and then I just told him it was Mobile 5 so he'd just send it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mario23:
Allright I'll give it a shot.

I already downloaded the Good cab as it didn't give me an incompatable message. Problem now is when I try to install it, the server is down so I'll try again in a bit.

Thanks

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mario23:
Well I'm still getting the server error so I guess its not going to work for me this way. I'm thinking about trying the hard reset and going for it again...
