Yeah I'm prime. The warehouse where the phones are at must be closer to you. Lucky!

However, I contacted Amazon about it my preorder arriving later than new orders and they comped me free Saturday delivery. I'll have it tomorrow!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jayochs:
wait I can't even order overnight shipping to have by Saturday on mine. damnit.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jayochs:
I ordered the titan. I tried to get free shipping overnight because they gave me that on the silver one, but refuse to on the titan one. oh well lol
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] wtharp2:
So the Amazon phone is the same price as the Newegg offer, but doesn't come with the tablet or the external battery. Anybody care about missing those items?

Also, for anyone who is awaiting their NewEgg order, did you do anything for an extended warranty? If so, what?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] krlane:
I got a shipping notification and tracking number. So far it just states that the label has been created.

Last night it showed as "Packaging", so I'm hoping that FedEx will pick it up from NewEgg today.

FedEx shows it being delivered this coming Tuesday.

I probably will not get to play with it much until after next weekend, as tomorrow starts Deer hunting season here

in Nebraska (for rifle) and I'll be out in the woods from before light til after every day.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jayochs:
i went for amazon over newegg mainly because of returns. with reports of the camera glass maybe being crappy, or issues with speaker, i want to know with 100% certainty that i can return something within those 30 days if there's an issue. reading about newegg's return policy is god awful..just look them up. they get like 1 star outta 5 all over the internet because of how bad their return policy is. IMO, it's not worth it for some garbage tablet and a power bank (i already have a 10k power bank.) amazon confirmed if the product is defective you can still return it. i explained to a rep there's been some camera glass issues and they claimed you can still return it if it's damaged within those 30 days. that alone is why i stick with amazon. on top of it all though i also ordered it with my Citi credit card which gives price rewind, and extended 2 year warranty on top of 1 year manufacterer warranty, so i'm ok with that. here's hoping it was a bad batch of early glass, and these US996's have the issue fixed, because i really don't want to deal with having to return the phone!

i ordered the titan (gave up on silver, since there's really no confirmed date, just what reps randomly say) and it'll be here sunday, along with a Ringke Onyx case which seems to protect the camera, and USB C adapters so I can continue to use my long USB cables (since apparently the V20 has a real short cable.) i've got the spigen tempered glass on order, and should be here wednesday, so until then I can live with the stock screen protector..then again, i bought like 6 regular screen protectors for like 2 bucks on ebay that seem like they'll fit ok, so that's always a backup.

i'm pumped!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] wtharp2:
Wish I had read on their return policy, but we received shipping notification; I, too, hope that it is shipping today with a Tuesday delivery.

Thanks!

Got the unlocked US996 this morning and, unfortunately not to my surprise, the bootloader does not appear to be unlockable without LG's help. It is able to reboot into the bootloader but "fastboot oem unlock" reports "FAILED (remote: unknown command)". However, it does have the option to use an unlock key provided by LG (unlock.bin). Here is to hoping that LG adds the V20 to the support list of unlockable bootloaders to their website, https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev

I'll try to reach out to LG Monday to see if they can provide some more info considering I was told it would be unlockable.

nice. i wasn't thinking it would come easily unlockable like a nexus; i figured they'd have some kinda key that you had to use like Moto did with the X Pure. mine comes tomorrow! are you on verizon? hows it work?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] FAUguy:
I too would like to know which carrier you are using the US996 with. If with Verizon, was there any issue activating it or having it work with their CDMA and LTE bands, wifi calling?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] INCREMENTAL:
I also would like to know what carrier you are using as I was gonna pull the trigger on it tomorrow. I'm on Verizon. Thanks
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] eighty1:
I put my sim card in from my Pixel XL and have had no issues. HD voice/calling is working but cannot find an option to turn wifi calling on.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] redshorty4:
I've tested T-Mobile and Verizon sims and got LTE. I didn't do any other tests though. AT&T I need a new sim (nano) to test.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jayochs:
sweet. idc about wifi calling, just hd voice and volte. good deal! I'll let you guys know tomorrow.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jayochs:
ok just got mine! damn i like this phone already. the screen is so much nicer than my S7. i'm not a fan of the whites on amoled, and honestly i HATED the s7 screen compared to my NOte 4...either i had a bad one, or i just hated the warm saturation of it. but this LG is much cooler and very nice.

there IS HD calling for Verizon. I popped my sim in, and it works fine on 4g. made my test call, and it says HD and everything, so that's good. currently in the process of using the LG backup app to bring everyhting over to the V20 from my S7. taking forever, but i had like 5 gigs worth of stuff on internal that it can bring over! CONFIRMED VoLTE too. LTE data works while on a call. sweet!

but yeah this phone is BIG. i don't mind it. got the Ringke Onyx case to go along with it because it has that barrier around the camera, and i really can't afford with dealing with a broken camera!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] sequence2469:
Awesome dude!!! Glad to hear it's working fine on Verizon. I think I'm going to cancel with B&H and get the Titan from Amazon too.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] papashex:
Has anyone tried the US996 on att yet? I know there is a band missing according to documentation available but does it really matter? I would expect the hardware to be identical and a flash of the appropriate radio file to straighten all that out.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] FAUguy:
For those few with the US996, does it have any of the issues that were reported with other models (distorted speaker on the bottom, LED light bleed on the screen, cracking camera glass)?

It's unfortunate that even though the 996 is carrier unlocked, it currently can't be rooted.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jayochs:
I'm sure we'll have root soon. and yeah there's light bleed but every LCD will. it's a second screen that's lit up while the main is off.. so yeah at night you'll see the bleeding on to the main screen. the only way to avoid that is use amoled. that's just how LCD is. luckily no distortion here.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] wtharp2:
We've had ours since Tuesday night, and I'm not aware of any problems (we're on AT&T).

I don't know about flashing files for the additional band, though -- sorry!

You have any other questions about the US996 on AT&T?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] papashex:
Thanks for the feedback on AT&T. I was feeling better about jumping on AT&T with the unlocked US996 since no one here started shouting "Danger Will Robinson!" in response to my original question. I Like the handset but AT&T wants to charge an extra $30 to include all their bloat and a guarantee (?) of no root - no thanks. US996 it is then, even if root is just a maybe for now.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] wtharp2:
In case you care, the US996 seems to be lacking the FM Radio as well.

Otherwise, we pretty much popped our sims in -- or, rather, AT&T did; we were coming from an S4 and a Note 4, and they had the wrong sized sims. V20 requires nano sim, iirc.

Anyway, dropped the sims in and went to town.

Good luck with yours!

I just ordered the Diztronic case from Amazon. Not set to be released until Nov 4, but since my phone isn't set to ship until the 23-25, it should be here in plenty of time.

So far this looks like like the best option to me.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Lockeskidney:
I've used their cases for past nexus phones and they've always done well. Some movement a year in but overall thin and protect it without being bulky
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] dowlf:
I tried several cases, this is definitely my favorite. Very grippy and the buttons are so easy to push.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] GuestK003:
Does this that a textured inside or the air pocket corners?

I got mine last week. Great case as usual.

Best and most elegant phone case I've ever had. Now where's my full coverage screen protector?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] joshacct1986:
I order this on Amazon last Saturday and got it Tuesday. It's a temporary case until something thinner comes out, but I agree it's the best option. It's a nice case, it's TOO bulking and very grippy (but not too much where I can't slide it in my pocket. Great fit and I recommend anyone who likes a thin case who is waiting for a CaliCase to get this in the mean time!

[Google Pixel XL Accessories] thorpe24:
Mines super slick should of waited for pixlee one. Love the buttons on it though. But someone just said the parallax case is only .5mm thicker than the maxboost so I may get that instead.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] graffixnyc:
I got this case as well. I really dislike the raised side lip it has, it makes it feel more bulky than I prefer. If it didn't have that raised side lip I would love this case.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] cmenglish:
I've gone through the Sparin case from Amazon and three Google cases, the clear, the silicon and a Live case. The Diztronic blows them all away in terms of actual protection from a very minimal form factor. The Sparin is a nice case, especially for $10, but it feels pretty flimsy when compared to the Diztronic. I had a D case with my N6 and am not at all surprised that I've sifted through other cases to land back in D's corner. The only thing I would probably trade it for is a really nicely done leather case (looking at you, Bellroy).

They just posted some new cases too.. Full Matte with popping colors;

The Pixelee also in awesome colors;
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] khaytsus:
The Diztronic is too bulky??? I don't see how you'd possibly get a thinner TPU case. It'd be so thin it'd be useless, or you're approaching sticker protection.

I have the Diztronic and the similar Spigen Armor (no plastic, just TPU) and the Spigen's sides are slightly thicker, presumably with their "air" protection, but otherwise the cases are very similar in feel. Spigen has more "design" to it, including the carbon spot (which I personally dislike) but otherwise both cases are very similar.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] clockcycle:
Some people don't want a case at all but want to protect against bumps, scratches for example https://9to5toys.com/2014/10/29/thinnest-iphone-6-plus-cases-prevent-camera-wobble/
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] joshacct1986:
I posted on another thread about wanting something that doesn't protect against impact, just scuffs to the sides and back. I want something similar to The Veil by Caudable that is ultra thin.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Smallsmx3:
So is it too grippy or slick..I've seen both comments. Also do the matte and pixlee ones feel the same
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] AllusionPDX:
I just received my diztronic case. As usual it is top quality. I used them on my Nexus 5X, and to be honest, for quality non hardshell cases that are out soon after phone releases...they really are worth the money.

edit responses:

Q.) So is it too grippy or slick..I've seen both comments. Also do the matte and pixlee ones feel the same

A.) Honestly...Its pretty well balanced. I personally like it a BIT more grippy, but my experience with diztronic cases, is that the longer you ahve them your hand wears down the matte a TINY bit(not enough to SEE) and it becomes perfectly grippy.

Q.) Does this that a textured inside or the air pocket corners?

A.) no.

Will edit this post with any other questions about the case.

Just received my black pixlee case and it's my first Diztronic case and I love it! It's so minimal and classy.

Let's get some pictures, I like to see what they look like.

I do not have any way to take pictures of it on the phone, but I do have my Nexus 5x, which fits exactly the same. To the point that when I reach into my bag to grab one,i don't realize which one I am holding for a good amount of time.

My favorite feature about them is the buttons though. It gives them this perfect tactile clicky feel that you don't get with anything else.

I've had 50 phones and could pair every one on my 2010 Silverado. Can't pair the Pixel XL. It seems to pair at first but on the phone it goes from connected to disconnected before the call connects, any ideas? I've never seen this before. BTW I have Regular Pixel and it has the exact same behavior. Nexus 6P was my last phone and that never had issues.

Edit; So the pixel XL is on 7.1 and my 6P that works in on 7.0

You can you need to do it manually from the car. I had a similar issue with my Hyundai Genesis 2011. You need to go to your cars GPS monitor and look for setup or phone add device. Might be where it tells you cars Bluetooth pairing password. Then refresh your pixels Bluetooth and boom paired.

Silverado - new topic

OP, we might want to make a new thread titled Silverado. Seems awfully strange it's just you and I so far having a problem and we both have Silverados. I think a new thread labeled connecting pixel to Silverado might grab some attention and maybe we can get some Silverado and pixel owners replying.

I did make an attempt to contact Google support for this issue. Pretty lame steps they had me do, remove all BT devices , reboot, readd just Silverado (still failed) reboot phone in safe mode and try to connect ( failed) next they are asking me to do a factory reset on the phone or contact gm for help. I've never had any issues with BT in my truck till this phone. As a matter of fact I can connect find using my old devices.

I'll wait a few hours to see if you started a new thread if not I'm going to start one specific to Silverado and pixel BT.

Can confirm Bluetooth connectivity issues with Pixel on Buick Regal '12 (GM vehicle). I'll try it on Mazda CX5 '16 tomorrow but there is definitely something wrong with Pixel BT at the moment. I can pair it without issues but connection permanently drops within 2-3 seconds every time.

Before Pixel, I had iP6, N5X, N5, Galaxy Nexus all paired on this same car and running perfectly stable. Digging around forums, seems like N6P and Pixel have a lot of BT issues.

I have an issue with my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, it pairs and stays connected or at least appears to. When a call comes in the phone and car say I am connected, but only the phone rings. If I try to make a call from the car it attempts to make the call, but stays in limbo until a turn it off. While it says connected, it will not let me disconnect or delete phone.
