[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Blaises:
This is a modified version of the CM13 Messaging app that allows MMS over WIFI for Sprint or any other carrier that has the same problem (I think T-Mobile does the same thing?). It will use your WIFI if connected, otherwise it will try to use your mobile data like normal.

Place the messaging.apk in

/system/app/messaging/

I recommend renaming the current one to messaging.apk.bak so you can revert to the old version if the app gives you any trouble.

This app will only function correctly on android 5+, though I haven't tried it on anything other than Marshmallow yet so let me know if it works correctly on Lollipop.

Android 5.0 implemented a standard MMS API that allows MMS over WIFI. Unfortunately Sprint doesn't follow standards, so that doesn't work on their network. I created this out of frustration after jumping between all the major messaging apps and not being fully satisfied. You can view the changes I made here on github.

I already have this charger that I use with my Nexus 6p. Will it work with the Pixel XL? http://www.vinsic.com/Products/sku-VSCC205B
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] SquallLHeart:
i don't see why not. looks good.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] sitnlow4life:
I have the same charger and can confirm that it works

I purchased the Belkin charger cause it has USB PD on board and should do a better job with the pixel

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, running CyanogenMod.

I don't use google play or any google products on the phone. The phone has no google account associated with it. I use MicroG (microg.org) and Needle (github.com/moosd/Needle)

I use Lyft to get around a lot. This was working fine until recently. Now as soon as I open the app, I see a big warning that it won't work until I update google play services, and then nothing. I can't get past that.

I just bought the Zagg Invisible Shield screen protector through Verizon Wireless. When I was putting it on I noticed that it doesn't cover the whole screen, in fact it doesn't even cover the display portion completely (about 1 mm on each side). Plus the edges are kind of sharp. Has anyone found a good, strong protector that covers the entire glass, not just barely over the display portion?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] evocalante:
Seems to be an issue with all the screen protectors I've seen so far. :(
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] DrKaotica:
I just got my pixel today and installed these: Google Pixel XL Screen Protector, Fosmon 3 Pack [Full Screen Coverage | HD Crystal Clear] TPU Sticky Coating Screen Shield for Google Pixel XL https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXFJB6A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Rb.cybZB0ZRV6

It's full coverage. It's very soft, it reminds me of a wet application protector. It is also incompatible with the TPU case I have (Spigen rugged armor). The sides peel up if I try to put the case on.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] sitnlow4life:
Any pictures of the zagg installed ?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Andrew725:
We're going to have to wait until Intelliarmor makes an Edge to Edge protector like they made for the Nexus 6. That was the perfect screen protector imo.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] lolminraise:
Every customer review on Amazon is pretty much negative. Still awaiting something half decent...
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] OnlinePredator:

So zagg has halo!!??
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] SteveyJack:
These seem to be the best so far: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Protector-...pons&keywords=pixel+xl+screen+protector&psc=1

Just ordered them so will report back tomorrow but there's pictures in the reviews.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] thetonyclifton:
Yes. It is terrible.

---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

They look small too and reviews and pictures say as much. Don't see a halo in the photos though.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] SteveyJack:
I know they're small but they cover the viewable screen which the vast majority if not all of the ones I've seen so far don't. I ordered some G-Color ones which leave 1mm of the screen either side of the protector not covered. I can live with a gap between case and protector for now as long as the screen isn't obscured by the edge of the protector.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] thetonyclifton:
Are there any film protectors which cover the screen better until someone gets a tempered glass right?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] SteveyJack:
I've got a couple of different film ones on the way but they won't arrive till Friday onwards. The only other film one I could see on Amazon has already been confirmed to not be case compatible.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] jcarlm:
I went to Verizon and got their 3 pack of plastic screen protector for the XL. They work just fine and fit well. Using these till a good tempered glass comes along.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] yankeesfan714:
I ordered an icarez screen protector. It is arriving today. After reading all your reviews I am hoping that this one covers more of the screen. I will take some pics after install.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] wetwillycf:
Xtremeguard's just became available. They have a 92% coupon code (Giant92) to make each one $2.00 (it's Giant92).

[Google Pixel XL Accessories] rsbenedict:
But this is not tempered glass. It's a film protector (protects from scratches but not cracks). Gorilla glass is already pretty scratch-proof for the most part. Looking for crack protection that glass provides.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] wetwillycf:
They call their tempered glass Spartan. It's there on the page!

I've had their TGSPs for my Nexus 6P and my M9 and M8 and I really like them.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] rsbenedict:
There´s a picture of the generic series but they do not have one for the Pixel. The image on the page does not go to a link. The page you linked to is only a film protector and that's the only one they have currently available.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] wetwillycf:
Don't know what to tell you. I successfully ordered two of the Spartan Tempered Glass for my Pixel XL from that very page. Double-checked the link I posted just now and the radio button is there on the right-hand side of the page in the Choose Your Product Options area (3rd radio button down).

The text says, "Spartan Tempered Glass Screen $59.99 Sale Price:$24.99"

Maybe the page isn't loading right for you or something. Maybe if I get a chance later I'll post a screenshot.

[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Virus1x:
I saw it I ordered 2 for $4.00 of the spartan thx, I'm gonna return my Verizon zagg one when they come in do you know if it covers the whole screen or at least case friendly?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] wetwillycf:
No clue if it's case-friendly. Their Nexus 6P wasn't. For $2 each I'll gladly cross my fingers though... I like these guys a lot.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Virus1x:
Even if not I'll stretch my case over the glass if needed.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] yankeesfan714:
I tried to get as good of pictures I could of the icarez screen protector. It does indeed cover all of the visible screen. And does not interfere with my Spigen case.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] rsbenedict:
What brand?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] yankeesfan714:
icarez
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] rsbenedict:
Good. I have one of those on order. It won't be here for a few days though. :(
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] DirgeExtinction:
It's a shame manufacturers are using that 2.5D curve on their screens now. First Samsung, now Google. :(
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Flyer66:
Just curious... Did you get the Icarez tempered glass screen protector or one of their PET film protectors?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] yankeesfan714:
Film.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] rsbenedict:
Dang! I was hoping it was the glass. That's what I'm expecting and will be delivered next week. Hopefully it will only have small to no margins.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] DrKaotica:
Pretty nice! I have these coming tomorrow. I got some PET ones and a glass one from iCarez.

I think you gave me a little confidence in them.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] yankeesfan714:
I just hope they're all cut the same width. But I carez has been my go to for a while now. So easy to install,even on my wife's S7 Edge. Rounded glass? No problem.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Virus1x:
I ordered the spartan posted previously perfect adherence no uncovered space no halo and case friendly best $4 ever spent. Also unlike others has a cut out for light sensor.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] thetonyclifton:
You have it on your pixel already? I ordered but haven't received. Got any photos?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Virus1x:
Yep already on. Here at some snaps taken at 545 am with an old nexus 6, sorry screen has smudges on it from my fingers. Too early to notice.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] watzone69:
Dang, that looks better than I hoped! I ordered three yesterday and feel even better about it now :D
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] ExcuseTheN00b:
I tried 1 of the tempered glass from my local Verizon store and of course it didn't fit. I know most of the people at my local Verizon stores because I fix phones for them and they just called me and said that they just received a new shipment of tempered glass and that they fit the entire screen of the pixel xl. I am going by in a few hours and picking up one. I will post pictures of it when it is installed and also let everyone know the name brand.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Virus1x:
I work for Verizon I can tell you I play with them all I've yet to find anything as perfect as the xtremeguard Spartans.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] ExcuseTheN00b:
Yea just went by and the tempered covers a little more than the 1st batch but they still look bad. I'm gonna look into the xtremeguard. Thanks
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Virus1x:
Not a problem in this thread we have a coupon code.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] ExcuseTheN00b:
Where can you find the xtremeguard online? I don't see them on their site or Amazon.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Virus1x:
Because it's case friendly it's not 100% coverage but it does cover the part that you view through. My photos are above.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] ExcuseTheN00b:
Yea that looks like what they have at Verizon now. At least it covers the full lcd. I normally don't use cases so I much rather have one cover the entire front screen. I know the phones that have edges like s7 edge or note 7 or screens with curves don't work well with full tempered glass because of lifting and halo effects but I don't see this phone causing an issue with it if it covered the entire front.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Virus1x:
I run a case always.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] y2jdmbfan:
What is the name of the Verizon protector that covers the full LCD?

Can the Smart Phone Wallet by XtremeGuard be used and still be able to use the finger print reader?

[Google Pixel XL Accessories] baniels:
On the XL a credit card will fit beneath the fingerprint reader, so as long as you mount it in the right spot, it should work fine.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] ApexoftheVortex:
A company called Rhinoshield makes screen protectors. Not sure if they cover the whole screen but they claim that it can withstand the impact of a hammer lots of videos of people testing it on youtube.

If your in the market for plastic ones I grabbed these off amazon : https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MF58I4B/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They have great coverage and work well on the 2.5D glass and are pretty cheap, far better than any glass protector I have seen yet.

Orzly has an Edge to Edge listed in Amazon. Still a ways off but interesting nonetheless.

[Google Pixel XL Accessories] rsbenedict:
I ordered this weeks ago and it shipped, but no estimated arrival date other than the month of November. :(
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] clockcycle:
It's an issue ever since they started using curved edge screens. They have to make them smaller to cover the flat area. Intelliarmor makes a Pro version of their protector, that just has a black border at the edge with more glue, it still doesn't stick but also doesn't really show.

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

xtremeguard.com use coupon code GIANT92 for 2+ items, if those expire, just do a search and you'll find updated ones.

I bought 3 Spartans, 2 full body, coupons are site-wide, so you can buy anything and get 92% off. I paid $8.40 plus the additional $1 for expedited processing. They just mail you stuff in an envelope via USPS.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] sherlock5545:
Did anyone manage to get the Orzly 2.5d glass? I've ordered mine from two different places but they never came. Official website is out of stock too. It feels like the product doesn't even exist :(
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] vivanshah:
no different than any other tempered glass screen protector...just marketing.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Deltatko:
They are just the super cheap plastic ones, not glass, so save your time and money.

The bumper is great though.

Nillkin has one now. From the picture it looks like it cover more of the screen than any other. http://nillkin.org/smartphones-acce...-xl-accessories/nillkin-google-pixel-xl-h-pro

(I have both the Pleson and the xtreameguards and both are exactly the same when held next to each other leaving just as much gap)
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] vivanshah:
hmm, to me the nilkin looks exactly the same as all the rest. tiny bit on either side that it doesn't cover.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Rox598:
Bought mine 2 weeks ago and they never showed up so getting a refund
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] sherlock5545:
I've just ordered again from the official website. Shows up as pre-order with stock coming on the 7th. Meanwhile another seller is sending me the same product from eBay. I'm waiting another week in the hope it arrives then I'll ask for a refund. It's a shame it's not on Amazon Prime yet. I'm too spoiled by next day delivery.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] TheAugust:
I bought the iCarez HD anti glare film screen protectors, and they cover the whole visible screen, with about 1mm extra on both sides.

I'm considering their tempered glass screen protector because I don't like the grainy film look to the HD anti glare. I'm hoping it's the same dimensions as the one I have.

Edit - according to the reviews, it doesn't. Man, what a bummer. Tempered glass isn't meant for this device. I'm used to it, coming from the S7 Edge, but I'm not a fan of how bulky this device is in comparison to it. Also, even the slimmest cases cover the left and right edges of the bezel, which is incredibly annoying, now.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] daneoleary:
I got a two-pack of tempered protectors from Pleson on Amazon and though they don't cover the bezels, they go right up to the very edges of the actual screen. There's a little space around it, which I am actually glad to have because it's annoying when cases push the edges of the screen protector up. My thing is I'd rather have one that is smooth on all sides instead of having cutouts for the camera and sensors. I feel like lint and dust are going to get stuck in those little spaces, which is really going to bother me.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] minnysota:
I might pull the trigger on this one. Sounds promising and worth a shot given Prime's flawless return policy.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M4OIRML/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_x_Nglhyb5NN341B
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] daneoleary:
I've seen that brand before while browsing for protectors for other phones. They look good on screen, but the reviews are usually so bad for them.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] TheAugust:
If you so, please report back with your findings!
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] minnysota:
Yeah I did some digging and saw the Note 7 version of this protector got terrible reviews... The Pixel's curves should be easier to handle than the Note 7's, but I think I'm going to pass unfortunately.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Mike02z:
I'm on my 4th different glass protector and none of them cover the viewing area. I ordered the Pleson as it sounds like it covers the viewable area.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] clockcycle:
ALL tgsp will be narrow, the phone's screen is curved so it can not and will not stick to the edges and create a halo/unsticking effect at the edges.

It's up to the manufacturer's to do their own R&D, mostly by buying their own or borrowing a Pixel/XL and testing. And accessories are "late" because dimensions/specifications were kept hush hush. So they're working on revisions by trial and error, and we are the test subjects.

This isn't a new issue, it's been happening "a problem" for a while now with many screens that have curved edges i.e Note 4, Note 5, Nexus 6, LG G4, Galaxy S6, iPhone 6s Plus, many others suffer this.

Ultimately on my Nexus 6 and LG G4 (screen is concave, less so than LG Flex) I could never find one that didn't halo, had to use a skin.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Mike02z:
The forth time was the charm. The Pleson glass screen protector covers the entire viewing area, The challenge is you really need to be careful when installing. There is not even 1 mm overhang so if not on perfectly, you will see some of veiwable area is not covered. I got mine perfect on the second try. The very top around the speaker and around the camera the very edges don't seem like they are sticking properly. Probably rubbing my thumb using firm pressure with get it to stick. Other than that, this is the best one to date. I'm hoping InettliArmor makes good on sending those of us who tried their initial HD will get one that covers the whole viewable area. I really don't want end to end as they are not case friendly and only have adhesive in the corners.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] shibbnasty:
Just put a pleson one on and it fits almost perfect. You just have to be very careful when putting it on. Even the slightest left or right and there will be a tiny sliver of viewing area shown.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] lyall29:
If anyone has a halo on the edge of your tempered glass screen protector, I did a little test and uploaded the video on YouTube. It's not a great quality video, but the test I did helped me see why my screen protector won't stick to the right side of the screen. https://youtu.be/XmIfvWCGosU

Edit...I purchased a 2 pack of tempered glass screen protectors from Amazon. The first one I installed had the halo. I removed the protector so that I could check the screen for flatness. I then applied the 2nd protector from the same package, and it has no halo at all. So maybe the .006" doesn't matter after all.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] sitnlow4life:
Great video !

So if the screen isn't tapered the same on both edges , nothing will ever sit flat .

Has anyone installed the xtremeguard one have pictures ?

Thanks
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] sentry_mode_activated:
Found one!

So after waiting awhile (and unfortunately after getting a few small scratches on the screen), I found a screen protector that really does cover the whole screen:

Spigen Full Cover Glass Google Pixel XL Screen Protector with Tempered Glass

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N63XLQ6/

Just applied it today. Works great, can see the whole screen and was only $9.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Mike02z:
It covers the whole screen but has no adhesive except on the edges. This gave me rainbows and after a day, my sensitivity was crap on the left and right side. I tossed mine in the trash. Others here seem to like them.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] BurtGummer:
Was your install flawless? Alignment perfect? I can imagine being even slightly off will present sensitivity issues on the sides.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Mike02z:
Yes, my install was perfect. The other issue I had was the protector started clicking near the edges of the screen. It was very frustrating. As I mentioned, others here love these protectors. I'm back to my Yootech until IntelliARMOR gets their new PRO version out. That had adhesive on the entire protector and provides edge to edge coverage.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] xVallex:
I was about to post the same link. Got this and a case for $20 bucks. No halo at all, fits perfect and is almost edge to edge all the way around.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Kisakuku:
The Yootech protector is the best non-full screen protector for the Pixel, should definitely try applying the 2nd one from the package and use the hinge method. Not sure why you think it's not a glass protector, it's definitely tempered glass.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] STraver:
Boxwave

I've used Boxwave protectors for years, including on my Pixel XL and found them to be outstanding. Amazon has them or go to boxwave.com.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Jammol:
Wait, so they made a screen protector that didn't have adhesive on the entire protector? Is there a reason they are doing that? Every glass screen protector I have used in the past had adhesive on the entire protector.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Kisakuku:
Because of the curved ("2.5D") front glass edges, all full-screen protectors for the Pixels except intelliARMOR only have adhesive along the perimeter of the protector under a black or white painted border.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Jammol:
Well that's stupid! I've had other 2.5D devices were the screen protectors that had adhesive on the entire protector. Note 5 to be exact.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Kisakuku:
There's plenty of Pixel screen protectors with adhesive on the entire surface. They just don't cover the entirety of the front glass.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Jammol:
Yeah I've been seeing that. It just doesn't make sense that the companies with the full coverage ones are refusing to put adhesive on the entire component.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Kisakuku:
It makes perfect sense: the adhesive layer along the perimeter has to be thicker than the layer in the middle, and dimensions have to be very precise, otherwise you end up with a string of air bubbles along the border between the areas having different adhesive thicknesses. Such a protector is a lot harder to develop and manufacture, which is why only intelliArmor has done it so far, and theirs still has some other issues (like the color border having to be too wide and covering the edges of visible screen).
