I'm gonna go by Verizon in the morning, see if they have a case for a decent price. I dropped my Note 7 in the void a few times, but since it was on recall I couldn't care less. Now that I'm stuck with the Pixel XL for 2 years, I am gonna protect it lol. Keep us updated on the cost of repairs, though. I didn't get the insurance either
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sjonatan:
That sucks man. Let us know how much will be to fix it.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] tommyntpham:
That blows... :/ Makes me kinda glad I ordered it with a case and glass screen protector.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lilchicano:
So after calling Google, i pretty much got bounced back and forth between them and HTC. I'm not gonna deal with that crap.

There seems to be a shop close to me that seems to have replacement screens available for $150, thinking of just biting the bullet because looking around online, doesn't seem to have much options without being stuck waiting.

Sort of blows cause my tempered glass protector was scheduled to arrive either tomorrow or saturday.

:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

for you.....

One reviewer had a 5 inch pixel that broke the screen. Seems even with gorilla glass these phones are fragile. Waiting on mine from the google but ordering a good case now...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] El Daddy:
As I'm fretting about why my order has been processing for 50 hours now I see this and now I feel less crappy.

My condolences OP.

If you used a Credit card to purchase it you may have some kind of protection
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] resynx:
I was worried about this exact thing. Does Google not have an official repair service set up for incidents like this? If so, this is going to be really bad for anyone who hasn't purchased the protection..
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bradley26:
Can you not add the insurance after the purchase within a certain time? Make the claim afterwards? Just a thought
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sulpher:
Wow major bummer.. ordering one of those rhinobumper thingy's that xda promoted... the video sold me, I'll try it to protect my baby.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DanRyb:
Bummer! Although hearing you called Google and are getting bounced between them AND HTC is very disheartening! Thought this phone was "the first by Google"?! And that HTC was basically a silent partner. If indeed the case, Google should be handling this themselves, not bouncing people off to HTC...a vendor who isn't even on the marketing materials!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] neyenlives:
This. Most of these policies have a week or two grave period where you can opt in.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jj14:
For some reason, Google won't let you add warranty after placing the order (preorder). It has to be at order time itself.

I tried to add warranty even before my phone was shipped, and was told "No"

If paid with credit card, there may be hope. Or add square trade warranty.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lilchicano:
Yeah i ordered one of those too, but also had it with the OEM clear one they have in the Google Store when i placed my order.

Yeah sucked getting bounced back to each other. I'll probably try giving them a call again in the morning to see what happens then. Hopefully I wont get bounced around by them and get this resolved by them, I would like to try to avoid a 3rd party if possible.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lilchicano:
so i just realized not too long ago after removing the case that there is a slight bump on the back side of it too. I really hope it doesn't affect the internals in any way shape for form.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stonew5082:
I was on the fence about buying a case. I am now buying a crazy fancy one.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hello00:
$900 for a phone that easily cracks?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] johnciaccio:
HTC is handling repairs I read somewhere. It sounds like they may not have all their ducks in a row yet between HTC and Google on repairs.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kirdroid:
$900 or $200 or $2000... Glass breaks. Even on iPhone, Samsung, LG or insert whatever manufacturer here.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lilchicano:
Ok! So finally was able to get assisted from someone at Google after the fun of yesterday. Here is the run down of the chat of there solution. Sort of sucks that they would give us the shaft pretty much with this stuff. Not what i was expecting would happen.

Funny enough that was the same company I've contacted myself and had a schedule appointment for the repair. Unfortunately for me, they don't have any displays in stock (what a shocker!) so I'd be stuck waiting about 5 days with them.

I do have a long time family friend that does phone repairs, I'll check with him instead and hope for the best of being able to order the replacement screen online and what not if that would be faster.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bsg411:
This assembly video make it look not that hard to maybe replace the screen yourself if you can find a screen for sale.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] frch0603:
Did you buy from the google store? don't they have a 15 day return policy, no questions? Not sure if that includes returning it cracked.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lilchicano:
Yeah I saw the link this morning on that. I wouldn't mind doing it myself either, wouldn't be the first phone I've took apart. The problem I'm running into right now for that would be to find the replacement screen. All I'm finding so far is one on eBay, and that would seem to take about 2 weeks to arrive. Trying for more options first, but looks like so far it is faster doing it with the company they suggest. Still searching though. Link to replacement from eBay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-Nexus-M...ly-/232081995824?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368

Pretty sure that would only be if you don't like the phone, this is most definitely just a user problem, and pretty much out of luck on that.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hello00:
but not the way he cracked his screen
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] biggiestuff:
Wow that looks to be the easiest screen replacement i've seen. you probably have to move some items from the old screen over but at least there is no fingerprint scanner on the front to have to deal with and the sensors and earpiece speaker appear to be on the bottom half of the phone.

Try giving them another call. Also send in a support e-mail.

They have been really good in the past about taking care of these kind of things so close to launch day.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lilchicano:
Yeah that's what I ended up doing was taking it in to one of their stores in the area. If it all goes well I should have it back in my hands by Friday. Only time will tell

I'm not gonna bother no more, I already got it to their 3rd party support to be repaired.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] razor237:
what a bummer, from looking at the pictures you posted it looks like something under your seat put direct pressure on that one spot on the screen causing it to break and put that bend out mark on the back. looking at the disassembly video thats right where the battery is. I would inspect that battery and internals really good, you might need to replace the battery as well just to be safe if there are any dents or marks on it
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ubreakifix:
lilchicano,

Bummer about the broken screen day 1! Also sorry about the disappointing 5 day quote... I'm contacting you from uBreakiFix HQ down in Orlando, we can get those parts overnighted for you- call us at 877-320-2237 and we'll get you taken care of!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lilchicano:
Sweet! Just got off the phone with the rep, he said he will be calling the location where I dropped it off at and see what they can do to have it overnighted. I hope it all works out! You rock!

Edit:

Just got a call back from the store location, Spoke with Derick (think thats how its spelled) and looked like everything else was fine other than the screen itself, said that it should be in the morning and hopefully be ready at the latest of noon!

You guys really do rock!!! Very much appreciated! Handled it better than Google was able to! =)

OK! So I received a call at noon saying that my phone was ready. I picked it up at 5 with the manager Derrick, and we talked a bit. He did the repair himself, and it works beautifully! Thank you again for making the overnight possible. Would definitely recommend you guys for friends in the future.

[About XDA developers] N2O2:
KaioneSoft SprintDB has not offered a solution for WM6. They still sell a patched version of their PPC2003 software that sorta works with WM5. At the KaioneSoft website there no signs of life since August 06 and I believe they are no longer active(except to collect money selling obsolete software).

My questions to the group:

Have you migrated out of KaioneSoft SprintDB?

If so what did you migrate to?

Thanks for your help,

N2O2
[About XDA developers] mlk:
I am currently helping them with a WM6 version - as you would be aware, the major issue is the difference in the synch, otherwise SprintDB works well in WM6 - think we are reasonably close to a solution... dont worry, I was getting mightily frustrated myself with this lack of movement. I now have the ability to synch - albeit not quite as elegant as previously.
[About XDA developers] N2O2:
Thanks for the response. And thanks for helping out SprintDB project.

Unfortunately a database solution without synchronization is not useful to us. For our application to function we need to share data...

My concern with SprintDB is that they move so very slow. So ok, thanks to you, we are near a solution for WM6. Where will be when WM7 hits? Lost again? The newer operating systems are addressing some windows mobile shortcomings like security. These type of improvements more then interest me a little.

I've tested all the latest versions of our software on WM6 and SprintDB is the only one that won't function for us.

It would be good if KaioneSoft would keep us updated through their website, instead of pretending that the issue doesn't exist. Forcing their long time users to wade around the internet forums for solutions. I can't understand why they don't make the issue known on their website, unless they expect to sell to WM6 customers. I'm sure they refund unsuspecting WM6 purchasers, but not being forthright about the issue is more then a little shifty. I'm questioning if this software vendor is responsible enough to trust my databases to.

I have stopped further development with SprintDB and we are testing other solutions. So far Syware is the leading candidate and appears to be a very active company. Has anyone other opinions on database software for WM6?

Long time SprintDB user losing confidence,

[About XDA developers] pmernyk@hotmail.com:
Hi, I've been using a SprintDB Pro database I developed a couple years ago, and now I'm looking at upgrading to a new device with WM 6. I use this app everyday, now have over 8000 records, and I was so bummed to learn that (1) ActiveSync 4.5 it seems does not support sync'ing databases anymore, and (2) SprintDB doesn't sync on WM 6. I would hate to have to ditch this thing and start over on another db product.

Any advice? Without the ability to sync on WM 6, then what? Can I at least back up my database? Would there be some other way to convert the cdb to something i can edit on the PC?

Any idea *when* SprintDB will fully suport WM 6? (Call me cynical, but hearing "I think we're reasonably close" does not sound to me like a release will happen very soon.)

Does anyone know more about this ActiveSync 4.5 limitation? Does that mean I just need to stay with an older version, or is there more to this?

Finally, if it does come to switching products, any other suggestions besides Syware (which I will check out)? Do any allow me to convert my forms, macros, etc. from SprintDB?

Thanks for any answers or advice!
[About XDA developers] N2O2:
Sprint DB

Wow, an impressive set of questions.

First off MLK is correct the program itself functions properly under WM6, the issue is with the sync. The sync issue exists because M$ removed Mobile Access support starting with WM5/ActiveSync4. SprintDB developed a work around that made AS4 function with their program that was designed for PPC2003. That work around no longer functions WM6. because M$ further slashed AS4.5

WM6 requires at least AS4.5 or Vista.

SprintDB told me in March 07 that a WM6 sync fix would be available in July 07. We are still waiting. In SrintDB's defense: I think this task is substantial, they are attempting to develop an Activesync type database sync with a deliberate slash of support by M$ in AS4 and 4.5.

It sounds as if you don't need to merge your PC database(mdb) with your WM database(cdb). If you can get away with simply converting your cdb to mdb and back to cdb, although a bit clumsy a program like "Access Converter" free from Kaisoft may be a work around. You could then stay with SprintDB saving the development cost of a migration.

http://www.pocketkai.net/asp/en/index-en.html

If you need to manage two databases the merge their contents ie WM6 <-> W2K the only solution I see is ODBC. This has the advantage of syncing your data via cell or Wifi connection. Unfortunatly this will involve having to redevelop your forms queries structure in another DB program such as Syware. I'm not aware of conversion utilities to migrate from SprintDB to another aplication. (Hint to developers reading in: You could gain the entire customer base from SprintDB if you offer such a function.)

I'm still looking for other DB options if there are suggestions.

Hope this helps. Good Luck.
[About XDA developers] pmernyk@hotmail.com:
Thank you N2O2, that was a very thoughtful reply and quite helpful.

The word I got from KaioneSoft Support is they expect to have a new version with sync for wm6 in about 1 month. If that happens, I'll be happy. Meanwhile, it sounds like Access Converter will let me squeak by until that release.
[About XDA developers] :
KaioneSoft sends this answer every month, does this whenever you send a message that requests the solution to this problem.
[About XDA developers] mlk:
Sorry guys, meant to correct this ages ago & only just noticed... new version is out & works with full sync - not as good as previous in that you have to initiate the sync, but at least it works.

Further to this, if the PPC has low memory, or the DB is "of a size" then sometimes the sync can incorrectly report a successful sync - I have another beta I am testing that looks to resolve this, so go 4 it, it looks like they have come through at last.
[About XDA developers] mlk:
Works about 95%

Go for it, SprintDB is back & working better than the betas - have been using it noe for a few months without a hitch, save the odd refresh (thats why the 95% - think it gets tired every so often, mind you that be because my PPC is a memory hog & something is chewng it up without my knowledge - not SprintDB, something else I havent tracked as yet)
[About XDA developers] phmurphy:
SprintDB working great but...

HI all,

I have been using SprintDB for years and love it. The new version seems to be working well, but I have sent in 4 support questions to KaioneSoft over a week ago and received only one response in the last few minutes.

I backup my data by exporting the data tables to csv files throughout the day. Twice now I have gotten an "Out of Memory" error at the end of a day, and the program crashes. I have tracked my memory use after each csv export and see that 1M of memory is added after each csv export and never released. So my memory gets eaten up all day long until I run out. Of course the workaround is just to close the program occasionally and reopen. But since you can lose your most recent changes I wanted to warn others about this problem.

Also, I noticed that I get an error message after about the second time I sync data, yet the data seem ok and I can't tell what is causing the error.

Anyone else with this issue?

Thanks,

Pat
[About XDA developers] mlk:
Which version are you using - this sounds very much like an old beta I had a while ago. FYI, I am using 1.5.0 (Build 1920)

So i installed Remix os on my 32gb pendrive, finished setting it up, installed apps and everything, and after that i booted into windows from my HDD and when i tried to boot back from my pendrive, there is no sign of Remix os :/

Even if i go into the boot menu and select to boot from pendrive, the pc just boots into windows.

What could be the problem? Please help me out.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] FJ40dan:
Pre-ordered from VZ and was looking at reviews for the H3 by B&O PLAY and find they are only iPhone feature compatible. A few mentions that the volume, mic, etc. don't work with android phones. Couldn't find a version or model that was Android. Hoping that LG is not dumb enough to send out a version that B&O didn't update for the V20 which is Android? Long shot but anyone out here with a set of these earbuds and an android phone who can chime in? Hope the reviews I read were mistaken or the v20 will uniquely work with these.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ww15:
What are the differences in my options for purchasing a Verizon compatible LG V20? Direct from VZW, Best Buy, US996 version from Newegg/B&H.

What are the differences in the versions available from these vendors? Do we know yet? Thanks.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] FAUguy:
The Verizon model is VS995, it is the same model if you buy it from Verizon directly or Best Buy.

The US996 is carrier unlocked and will work on most US carriers, including Verizon. But the hope is that the US996 will have its bootloader unlocked like on the Tmobile model, which could lead to possible root.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jayochs:
indeed. the US has a few more frequencies and bands than the Verizon one. I believe Verizon has 17 and US has 21. seems the unlocked won't be shipping until November for B and h and Newegg and who knows if best buy is going to get it. I think my plan is to get the unlocked version when available and use it with Verizon. I'm not dealing with Verizon's crap, I'd much rather have an unlocked phone again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Aberrix:
I followed these steps pretty much exactly and everything works perfect. I did a master reset and I did not install the optional update pack and I had no issues with my map card.

also worth noting to fix IPC so instead of compass it says Navigation:

720-01-01 E5C0-29BE-24D9 needs to be E5C2-29BE-24DB

update: my middle/last part of that string did not match exactly, however changing the 2 bits still fixed the cluster to say Navigation.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mesaman1553:
After a few attempts I finally have Nav on our 2013 Edge. I'm grateful for the assistance I received from a fellow member. We spoke last night and I had missed 1 step in the activation process and that was all it took. I used the png method without doing a Master reset.

Again many thanks to this site and it's members for the help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kgorczyn:
Hi Everyone.

I have a 2013 C-Max Energi, it came with MyFordTouch but no navigation option. Navigation was only available on the Sony Radio Premium Option which I do not have. It's totally different hardware. I am in the United States if it makes any difference....

So am I reading this correctly... From what I understand, I can get Navigation working without replacing any hardware? Is that correct?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] e1ioan:
That's correct. I have MyFord Touch (not SONY) on my 2013 Escape and I was able to enable the Navigation without any hardware. Before enabling the navigation, the top right quadrant of my 8" screen was showing just "information" and the ball compass. Just follow the steps in first post in this thread to enable navigation.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kgorczyn:
Wow that's incredible - I'll be sure to read through this stuff and take a shot.

One Question, besides e-bay or the dealer ($$$), can anyone give me a hint or nudge me in the right direction and where I can 'make' the map SD Card?
