So does your Pixel work fine then with hands free audio? Not talking about GMusicConnect, but Your Phone. I just became a subscriber to obtain the update for onstar. When I called them today they stated it could take 1 month to receive the update in your radio. For me that will be the 30th of November. I'll wait until then and see if it fixes it.

That does beg the question for everyone else reading this. Are you full OnStar subscribers? Or are you not paying for the subscriptions? If all are not, then maybe we do need the latest OnStar update to make the phone work properly. Please let us know if you do not work with being an OnStar subscriber.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] trickster2369:
Yes, it works just fine making calls both through On-Star, and using just the Bluetooth option, which is what I normally do.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] uicnren:
2017 GMC Sierra, works just fine with bluetooth, both audio and phone.

Android Auto also works fine.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] tacopimp:
Seems kind of ridiculous that we would now have to have OnStar for Bluetooth to work...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cam30era:
Bluetooth works fine on my 2016 with no Onstar subscription.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] trickster2369:
You don't....
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] tacopimp:
That's a newer car. The main issues with Bluetooth not working at all are with the older cars...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cam30era:
Yea, you're right. Doesn't work worth a s*** on my '65 Corvette.... ;)

:)Anyone take the new November 22nd OTA Build NPF26J update or sideload yet. A guy on Reddit took the update and reported it works now on his 2011 Avalanche. This is a good sign.

Edit: Hot Damn it actually works now, stays paired, keeps the connection :)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] arcanexvi:
Now if only they'd add apt-x codecs. Unless they snuck them in the update. I guess I'll find out tomorrow when I'm driving to work.

I side-loaded that build tonight and it seems to have fixed the problem for me (2012 Cruze):)

2012 Regal GS, pairs, then drops like others have mentioned. Nexus 6 worked fine with 7.0, has anyone tried the NPF26J update, if so, did it fix it? I've been trying to sideload, but I'm rooted, and struggling to unroot to flash the OTA.

Different issue I have with my Pixel XL and 2017 Camaro where sometimes it will continuously popup text message alerts from anyone who has ever texted me. Will last the whole ride. Weird...

Same here. 2012 Camaro, Pixel connects but disconnects immediately, WRT phone function ("Your Vehicle" in phone BT menu).

Connects and streams audio no problem ("GMMusicConnect" in phone BT menu).
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] JAYNO20:
I have a '14 Camaro and a '15 Cruze and it always connected to bluetooth just fine, but when I'd receive a text it would alert me of ALL the texts I had ever gotten. Then I sideloaded the "J" update and now it doesn't do that anymore. Bluetooth seems to be functioning 100%, phone calls, phone book, pandora, and text messages all work fine on that update for me.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mattyb65:
Ahhh cool. Didnt even know the J update was available to sideload. Well here's hoping we get an update tomorrow.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] thequadfather:
7.1.1 fixed in my '15 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] nikitis:
The official NMF26O OTA fixed this issue. The J release fixed it for those side loading but Google did not release J OTA. So if you are having a problem still, proceed with the update. I have thanked Google for fixing this issue and all the people posting here has had a part in it getting fixed because they initially were not going to fix it according to the representative. When I told them I was holding a mass of people on XDA back from bombarding you with this problem they looked into it and is now fixed. So thanks first to all of you for posting your issue here so they can check how many people were mad over the fact, and we can thank Google for recognizing a need to break their code in such a way because it's really our 4 year old cars that have 8+ year old Bluetooth hardware. Google had perfectly implemented Bluetooth into the Pixel, which made it incompatible with our GM Radios. The issue really lies with the OnStar module that our GM Radios use. So this is a good sign that Google went out of their way to make this phone a success. They did not fix this for their Nexus line of phones as I had a similar issue with my Nexus 5, but then they didn't own the hardware either.

This thread can now be closed, but left here for people still needing to reference the version to know how to fix if they are on an old version still.

Thanks All!

When the phone connects automatically, it goes into "Connected (no phone.)" But when you connect it manually, everything is fine.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 911medic:
7.1.1 lets the device maintain connection to my Camaro consistently now, but the car can't see my phone's contact list. So, it's a step in the right direction, but still not all the way fixed.

I have re-paired the car to the phone, and it didn't help.

2015 2500HD bluetooth connects and seems to work fine. I had to go to "media" on the headunit though in order to get Google Maps voice to work. On the iPhone 7+ the navigation would interrupt the radio and give me the directions but not android. I had the same issue with my Note 5 so it must be an android issue. I did notice on my limited music test that sometimes it would jump back and replay a few seconds that had already played.

I'm having problems where the BT list doesn't even hold onto my car entries. I had both mine and my wife's car paired. Today I can't find my wife's car in the list. A few days ago it was my car that fell off the list. And my car knew it had connected to my phone before so it was trying to find it but the Pixel XL just ignored it because it wasn't in the BT list anymore. I do not understand why the BT list is so fragile. I'm stock too.

Pixel 2 problems with 2017 GM volt.

I have a 2017 GM Volt. Upgraded my old Samsung Galaxy III to a Pixel 2XL (128GB) about a week ago. I'm not able to use the phone successfully with BT and voice dial.

* The phone thinks it paired fine. The car things it has a connected phone.

* The car thinks the contact list is accessible (I can ask the volt to show the contact list to me and it's all there

* Voice initiated dialing fails with one of the following responses from the volt (note this worked fine on the Galaxy):

1. Command not recognized.

2. Please select the active phone. Attempting to do so gets me stuck in the Command not recognized or Please select ative phone responses.

3. Contact not found, downloading the contact list. When the vehicle claims the contact list is downloaded, this problem persists or I'm asked again to select the active phone.

My workaround is to plug the phone in to the USB port and start android Auto. In that configuration I can ask the Pixel itself to do a voice dial of a contact and that works just fine.

Thanks,

Ron

WOW! I understand this is a rather old thread; I do not see threads addressing these kinds of customizations though!!!

This is EXACTLY what I was searching for!

Thank you VERY much for posting this thread on here (along with the anime loops).

GIMP editor's a little odd to getting used to for me, but I'm sure I'll manage and hopefully create some Sailor Moon animations for boot up and shut down. I do not really care for the "MetroPCS" animation (who does?). Kind of off topic, but: I always modify startup animations (EG: My Rand McNally GPS).

I absolutely love how you can create X number of looped frames and even specify the resolution size (definitely assists with load times / FPS).

Thank you again! I hope you see this message one day. :)

EDIT: I feel that this thread should be added in my post for anyone else who stumbles upon this AWESOME thread!

You can also add audio to your boot animations (Sailor Moon theme)!

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Hostilian:
Ok.. Hopefully I can get some good advice here! :)

Basically, my G4 crashed and burned recently - unrecoverable boot loop. LG took it away for repair under warranty but sent it back unfixed - because it was rooted. I personally think they shouldn't get away with violating my consumer rights in this way - they admitted a hardware fault after all (and my device was one of the affected serial numbers)..

Anyway.. Thank F**k for Amazon, who are refunding my phone.. I can't praise them enough. :good::good:

I wasn't planning on getting another LG phone (after they screwed me over) but they are just so damn good.

So. cutting to the chase....

If you were buying another phone today. Would it be an LG G4 or G5 (Or something else Android) with the following requirements..

- It must be easily rootable...

- It must not suffer from boot loops.. (G4's are fixed since 508, I believe, and the new ones have serials way above that)..

- edit.. Price.. Ideally not more than about £400. Unless you've a very good reason and a warranty that won't expire if I root it..

Thanks for your time!! :)

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] galr:
Well, if it's a rootable version (like H850) then of course G5.. not a discussion.

For a super fast, stock experience you'd do well to find something better than the One Plus 3. However, the camera really isn't that great, so even though I loved the phone, I came to the lg g5, of which I adore.

I used to have a g4 and not much can come close to the g4 or g5 in pro mode.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Hostilian:
Thanks guys.. So looks like the G5..

Which root method would you recommend?

I guess I don't mind losing the warranty as long as the phone doesn't have any issues.. Do they suffer from boot loops as well?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] zathus:
I for one like the Idea of a little larger bezels. I always use a case and one issue I always fine in with phones that have a super thin sidebezel is touching the side of the screen with out hitting the case. On my G2 it was such a pain in the butt to get to the edge with out case interference. With my s7e it's not as bad because of the screen protruding more. But if it was flat it would be the same problem. I would have preferred a smaller chin. But the side bezels I think are fine
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ggreenwood334:
Exactly. I agree with you. I'm never brave enough to carry naked. I think bezels are perfect. And the chin is big. But I read where it helps keep your hand from reaching down to get to home button.

I don't have mine yet, but it seems like tapping the back button while using the phone one handed is going to be easier.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Wasted space

Yes, you are. It's a sign of lazy design, poor engineering. We make fun of Apple for all the wasted space on their phones.

With the extra space (and the exact same 5.5" 1440p AMOLED Samsung-manufactured display) they could have put in more stuff in -- like

front facing STEREO speakers,

[*]true rear camera OIS and

even microSD card slot.

(I know Google doesn't like microSD cards. I'm just saying that wasted space could be USED for something.)

Like this:

You could also shave $400 off the price, only charging $399 even with all that extra stuff. ;) Note the Axon 7 has MORE useful hardware, all placed in a slightly smaller frame, and half the price. And of course you can still hold the Axon 7 very well. Google should be ashamed of themselves.

Apparently those HUGE bezels adds $400 to the price. :silly: EXPENSIVE wasted space.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] tommyntpham:
I don't have mines yet either. But I'm coming from a note 7. Not a huge fan of small bezels. But I agree that they should've at least included micro SD support in the sim tray. Also the blue pixels definitely looks like an iPod touch.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Buddyfunlove:
Love the large chin. Great place to hold it when taking pictures or watching video. I always wished I could get an iPhone with Android on it. Lol. So I am not a look a like hater.

Damn you're still copying and pasting this post huh? We all get that you are a major fan of the axon and not the pixel. But it is a bit tiresome to see this same exact post over and over again. Point already taken long time ago
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] oRAirwolf:
The problem with the ZTE Axon is that it won't have as nearly of an optimized experience as the Pixel. Those cheap phones from China always have impressive specs, but poor implementations of Android. The hardware of a Pixel/Nexus phone is only half of what makes them so amazing.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] guaneet:
In my opinion I think the bezels are to accommodate for glass screen protectors. Since companies are using the 2.5D glass for the edges and reducing bezels it's hard finding a good screen protector. This way there is some wiggle room to cover the whole screen(display). I know this was an issue with the s7 edge, note 7, s6(Sammy fanboy)

I like it personally.makes it stand out

I don't mind the large bezels personally. I like to hold the phone in my hand and see the whole screen without fingers touching the screen unless I intend for them to. If you don't like the size of the larger bezels then this phone is not for you, and stop complaining. Complaining isn't going to make the bezels shrink smh.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sulpher:
Ya I rather prefer it with a little lip for the case.. I guess not everyone uses a case though.

I actually like the bottom bezel being roughly the same size as the top also... basically two places to grab it firmly or hand it off to someone. It's a minor thing, but although I love samsung's capacitive back/recent buttons as far as usefulness/persistence, it does suck to hand the phone off to non-samsung users and they half the time press back and close whatever you were showing them. So I'm looking forward to it... ;)

Think I'm kind of in the minority here at xda in that I really like most of the design/hardware decisions on this phone... I would have liked OIS, but non-waterproofing and the bezels don't bother me at all.

I went and looked at one at verizon... the photos don't do it justice. Also don't really understand the obsession with the price point... it's the same that the majority of the market pays for a samsung/iphone. Is this just coming from the nexus users that are used to a lower price point?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dmb219:
That's pretty much my opinion too. I'm still waiting for my phone from Google but my son got one from Verizon (his employer buys) and it looks and runs great. I too was hoping for OIS but the camera is awesome from what I've seen. If you do any video recording, you will love it. I think it is a great phone but it's like anything else. If your goal is to pick it apart and find fault, you can find things to complain about. This is a phone you have to use to appreciate. If the looks or the price don't suit you, that's ok.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] umbrokhan:
its because other phones in that price bracket offer water resistant, SD slot, wireless charging, dual stereo speakers, OIS and some phone manufacturer give 5 years of update at that price point. so thats why people think its over priced.

Google Pixel only giving 2 years of major updates. for that price tag. not good google.
