[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] WizardyNinja:
Thanks for the quick reply :)

Does it need to be rooted for this? I never actually managed it. Also, I don't think I have ADB on my computer, how do I do this?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] corkiejp:
[MENTION=7816493]WizardyNinja[/MENTION] Get [TOOL]Minimal ADB and Fastboot [10-22-16].

Don't know if the 'adb shell rm .....' needs root.

How where you trying to root with out the above tools?

Once you have fastboot, use it to boot TWRP: -

fastboot boot <nameofTWRP.img>

And then use it's file manager to delete the file, if the 'adb shell rm.....' does not work.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] WizardyNinja:
I don't know actually, I saw ADB mentioned around a few times but it was really just a "download these few things and it should work" kind of thing. I've rooted devices before but Xiaomi devices are so much more awkward, it really confused me. By the end I didn't know what I was doing. :/

I'll try this out tomorrow and I'll update you on if it worked or not. Thank you. :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] mr.loverlover:
If you can enter recovery then go to /data/system and delete all the *.key files.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] WizardyNinja:
I can't get into recovery, that's the problem :crying:

I haven't tried the other thing yet, still in school :p
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] WizardyNinja:
Okay, so I managed to fastboot TWRP because the other thing didn't work, but now TWRP itself is asking for a password to decrypt data? As far as I'm aware, I never encrypted my data purposefully on my phone.

(Couldn't get a clear picture, but the buttons say "cancel" and "select language". On the top, it says "Mount" with "Decrypt Data" under it).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] corkiejp:
[MENTION=7816493]WizardyNinja[/MENTION]

Just select cancel, in your screenshot.

Then format your data partition (unfortunately losing data and apps).

Then reboot and you should have access to your device, plus have to set it up again.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] WizardyNinja:
Would a factory reset be fine, or would it have to be an advanced wipe?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] WizardyNinja:
Nevermind, I wiped it. Thank you!

Do you think you could tell/link me a way of rooting this phone? It's so confusing and I haven't found any instructions that I can follow clearly. :/
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] harish15:
Now that you have cleared your locking problem, search for SuperSU and flash it on TWRP.. Voila, you are rooted.

I was on the waitlist for like two weeks, then i finally was able to purchase the phone. Now i am in preorder status.

But during checkour i did not see anything about a free vr headset.

Was thisba verizon only thing?

I preordered from Google store and got an email a few days later about being eligible for the headset. If your in preorder status hopefully you'll get an email soon too. Never mentioned at checkout.

I'm just curious what is the difference in these two, if anyone knows? I've been on the partial since it was made, and thought maybe it would be beneficial to 'upgrade' to the full version. Should I upgrade? Is there any difference?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] SirOrigami:
From my car/steering wheel I have to cables

Can high

Can low

Any way to get those connected to the MTCD unit?

On unit I have key 1 key 2?

Volvo V70
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] chammock:
I believe looking at the instructions that key1 and key2 are keypress type inputs into the device similar to the illumination cables that tells the HU your lights are on and dims the display. I believe they work on a 12v signal (although you might want to confirm that and do a little more research before trying) idea being you could maybe hook up two dashboard buttons that when you press them you could get the unit to do something (run an app or trigger some code).

I think the Can High and Can Low are high and low signals from the onboard computer. I think the two are incompatible. But I am certainly no expert.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] DudeInMyrtleBeach:
Key 1 and 2 are for resistive steering wheel controls. They have nothing to do with CANBUS.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] fmbxb:
You are going to need a CAN bus adapter for steering wheel control.

This transforms the CAN signal to the head unit into a resistive signal which can be connected to the key 1 and 2 of the head unit loom.

I would attach a picture of what this adapter looks like but I'm not allowed yet.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] JarkMackson:
So I chose the pixel xl as my Note 7 replacement and although it's not a bad phone, honestly it's not nearly as good as the s7 edge or even the note 5 ( I haven't owned only Samsung phones those are just my last two).

I thought Google assistant (the main reason I chose this phone) was supposed to be a big deal but is there really any major difference than using "OK Google" on any other android phone? Also, no wireless charging or microsd slot? Seriously, what makes this phone worth the sticker price?

I know this sounds like just a rant but after reading all of the positive reviews about this phone, I feel really let down after actually using it and I honestly feel like I'm missing something major here. Anyone else?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Golf c:
I think your perspective is right on. If your coming from a 3 year old phone, this phone is mind blowing. If your coming from a premium Samsung or iPhone, its meh at best. I upgrade every year and to me its just a small iteration. My Nexus 6 is still my favorite phone. The Pixel is a $500 phone.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] meccadon123:
My thoughts exactly. No micro SD slot (just to get user to store everything on googles cloud) no wireless chrging(though I give them credit for the 15 minute plug in giving 7 hours of use. The phone is efficient. I've gotten almost 5 hours of screen time with heavy use. The call quality seems to be better than Samsung. HD calls on verizon sound really good on my end and others have stated this is the clearest I've sounded to them in a while(maybe the design using glass at the top of the back for better antenna reception really does matter). I like googles launcher. But this phone starves for faetures like "Hidden folder" on the note 7, good lock thru galaxy apps, notification light blinks so slow i can unlock the phone before the light flashes. No always on screen. From the front the phone feels like i'm holding a galaxy S4. The chin is huge for no reason. 5.5 in screen is no longer "XL". Should make a 6 inch screen for the XL. CAmera is great. No numbered notifications(a little number in a bubble showing how many new texts or calls) no batter percentage option. Finger print sensor on the back is easier to use and it's fast. I guess all the fuss is about google assistant. To me it's not qite a flagship but lets remember. Google(like all other phone companies) need to you to give this 1 up when the next one drops. So guarantee the next one has wireless charging and or a SD slot. Just my opinion.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] JarkMackson:
Thank you! I really don't think it's a bad phone but the price and the hype is just crazy! It seriously feels cheap to me. I know it's all metal but because of the different textures on the back it feels like plastic unless it's cold. It's not even water resistant and the top and bottom bezels are way too big to look like a phone that costs this much.

If Samsung or apple came out with this phone they'd be in serious trouble but Google does it and it's some kind of revolution? The assistant isn't going to be even close to useful until it's available in the Play store for everyone. It's just missing so much that phones released 6 months ago costing $100-$200 less already have.

I was really excited for this phone after the note 7 thing and I'm just really disappointed. I'm keeping my note 7, fire hazard or not.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dtreth:
Google's phones will never, ever, ever include an SD card slot, ever again. This will always be a choice you have to make with Google, because they religiously believe in the cloud. I just tell people to get a Moto if they want a Nexus-like with SD card support. However, the unlimited photos and videos at full quality for free offered with the Pixel is amazing.

As for wireless charging, now that I have quick chargers everywhere I stopped using wireless charging with my Nexus 6 months ago. It's just sooooo sssllllooowwwwww. And the Pixel charges quite quickly, even on non-QC chargers. For instance, it seems to be sinking quite a bit of current from my powered hub, which just supplies 5V but can source about 3A per port. It can basically max out any charger that's not that stupid OnePlus proprietary one. Not a big deal.

I even like the bezels, because they give you a place to put your hands when holding it in landscape.

I find the suggestion that they should have released another 6" behemoth interesting, because I remember when the N6 was launched there was a lot of grousing that there were no small flagships left. The common refrain was 2 models, one 5.5" and one 5". As someone who loved the Nexus 6 in basically every respect, it's just a tiny bit too big. I am a 6' tall person with normal hands for that height, and I can't reach nearly the whole screen with one hand. It's not a one handed device, at all. The Pixel, on the other hand, seems to be a perfect size, in addition to being better in every respect compared to the at-the-time brilliant Nexus 6.

Also, you can totally get battery percentage with System UI Tuner. Just hold down the settings icon in the notification shade.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] wase4711:
well, if you like the look and style of an IPhone, the Pixel XL is a good choice for you; yeah, no stereo speakers is a drag, but I like the Assistant, and it is the fastest phone I have ever used.

the hype is excessive, but thats what we get with everything now a days..
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] eighty1:
I've held down settings in the notification shade but nothing happens. I'm trying to get battery percentage but it does nothing.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] JarkMackson:
Do you mind if I ask what you like so much about assistant? I really feel like I'm missing something but I can't find anything that makes it better than Google now.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dtreth:
Does your settings gear now have a dim wrench next to it? If so open settings and scroll down to the bottom. You should see "System UI Tuner". Or, you know, you can google it yourself since I gave you all of the relevant information.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] meccadon123:
Now see here. This is a perfect example. It's all a matter of taste and perspective. The previous google phone users seem to love the Pixel/XL . I come from a long line of Sammy Note phones. Honestly I thought the Note edge was a great phone but with a case on it ..it was a bit to wide for me. actually to me the S6 edge plus was the perfect phone size wise and aesthetically. the 5.7 inch screen and the glass back were perfect. I also have the moto Z force just for the mods. When I think about it, with no bezels and a shortened chin the 5.7 inch screen of the S6 edge+ was basically perfect for me. As far as "wireless" charging I did have to have "fast wireless charging". It's not as fast as a cord with rapid charge but sometimes you just want to sit the phone down and get a quick boost. Not that I'm back to plugging in I do miss fast wireless. Again the assistant is cool, the camera is really decent. anyway.. to each his own. On edit.. thanks for the SUI heads up.. I like it. However,, that mini number in the battery is virtually unreadable. ;)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] OnlinePredator:
The one thing I noticed straigh away was the crazy fast response everything on the pixel has compared to the note 7, there would be so many times that the Note 7 would visibly stutter even just a second here and there. Things like opening up and typing on the keybaord instantly would create this minute lag in the interface. I am very picky when it comes to that so I noticed straight away the Pixel is just fast, it doesn't stutter or lag like the note 7 did. Also small things like the speaker is FAR better than the Note 7, it's louder and fully than the 6p even. I hate edge screens too, I couldn't stand the note 7 in that regard, felt uncomfortable to hold compared to the pixel. I'm just so happy that I got a phone that just works ALL THE TIME. That's why I paid the extra $100 over the note 7 for the pixel. And I'm also betting on Google assistant (AI) becoming FAR more integrated and more powerful. All other phones will be missing out I think. Hardware can only go so far, software on the other hand....
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] evobyte:
Man who needs an SD card now?? I can finally video tape everything in 4k and not worry about memory or ever loosing the footage because it'll always be on the cloud! I legit video tape everything I can now!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] JarkMackson:
I agree on the speed, the note did stutter on me from time to time any this phone doesn't at all really (although I have had a few force closes, possibly the apps fault). The assistant has promise but let's be honest, it's no better than Google now at the moment and by the time it is better, it'll be available on every android phone.

The phone itself to me is just last year's Cadillac with this year's Mercedes price tag.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] M9guy:
A lot of people do. Really why drain your battery to access files on line rather than an sd card using less battery power and files on your sd card are a lot safer than the hackable cloud. And there is the extra data you use to access files on line. Sd cards use absolutely no data to access your files and do not eat up battery power so.

1. Sd card files safer than cloud.

2. Sd card uses no data to access your files, so does not eat up your data plan = saves you $$$$

3. Sd card files use less battery power than accessing files on the cloud.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] evobyte:
I get that, I'm blessed with unlimited with Verizon but I always only upload to cloud while charging. If anyone is interested in true unlimited data with Verizon, I have an extra line available. I'll only charge 80 a month

That's the great thing about Android! Choice. Different strokes for different folks. There will be a phone out there that suits you. Find it and embrace it! ?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] OnlinePredator:
Well hard to say, as it has cpu that is newer than last years phone, also has better cameras than phones from last year, and software you can't compare to those phones either. And when compares to phones this year, it's kinda the same. I agree it is overpriced, but they are doing it because they can. If you want the best android experience available, there is only one phone. If you don't want to pay that much then there are great alternatives.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Chengalang:
Waterproof - Owned S7 and Note, never seemed to EVER need it unless I was showing someone

Wireless charging - have a stand and still use the cable 90% of the time since it's faster

SD Card - I could see this one as a big point, but most people I know never fill up their phones and the ones who do could easily clear up half of it and improve performance by deleting unused apps and cleaning up the gallery, plus with 120 gigs + unlimited cloud I'm goooood

Gimmicks have made people wanting stuff they use maybe once every 4 months. "I can't have it therefore I need it"

IMO Software performance / day to day use > everything else .

Note 7 is a beast phone but I could honestly say at least once a day I get caught in huge lag spikes when trying open snapchat for a quick photo or even the camera app.

Sacrificing gimmicks for day to day use is worth it 100%
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dtreth:
I gave you what you want, sorry. Make the whole display bigger, maybe that will work. Or just open the shade if you need a specific percentage.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Rippley05:
I get some of the complaints with other Android phones, but it's laughable to say the iPhone has anything over the Pixel.

I miss most everything s-pen related from the Note 7. I was not a fan of the curved screen, it made the display feel smaller just for the sake of doing something different, but I definitely agree with the gripe about this big ass chin. I also agree with the gripe about the lack of dual speakers. The SD card, it's gone. You guys knew it. Don't buy a phone knowing it won't have it, then complain about it IMO.

I also like the Google Assistant. It's somewhat gimmicky, but you can have a conversation with her. She has personality now, and will only improve. Tell her that you feel lucky, or ask about her crystal ball, or to tell you a joke. These are definitely gimmicky, but it shows the direction and possibilities that may be
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cc999:
comparison

Not sure you know what you are talking about with the iphone 7 comparison?

Iphone has:

water resistance to 1 meter and dust proof

OIS image stabilization - on the Pixel is no where near as good

Stereo Speakers

IOS is the most optimized software out

256 gb cost about the same as the 128 gb Pixel cost

Gets smoked in almost every CPU test

Better overall build quality

Every phone gets the latest updated firmwares at the same time

more than 2 years of updates

With the above said I am a Nexus owner. I have owned Nexus devices since the 6 and Samsung

devices before that. I currently have a Nexus 5X. Was really excited to get the new Pixel phone.

I look at the pricing and cannot believe what Google is asking for these devices. Lets be real here there is no

way the current prices can be justified. I am so disappointed. I will wait for the prices to drop, and they will,

and then I will purchase. I am keeping my ear to XDA to see the problems that are popping up also as

this is a great forum for all information and I thank all the posters who add their information. We just have to

separate the fanboys from the realists.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] biggiestuff:
Remember when android phones had all the hardware perks over the iphone? For the other android phones they still do but I agree with you on the iphone versus the pixel on all points except maybe the EIS and the OIS. Pixel's EIS is unique and on the comparison samples I've seen the EIS is more stable but is more robotic in transition scenes that make it appear unnatural. This is for video samples. Everything else I'm with you. The updates from iOS aren't as big a deal. My father in law's iphone 5 has been getting updates but to me it's only update in name, where it's not actually adding anything new except maybe security updates. If I were you unless you can get the pixel at a deep discount, I'd wait for the Pixel 2. If Google is truly following Apple's footsteps, then the Pixel 2 will be very similar to the Pixel (design-wise) with all the new features added. (waterproof, dual-speaker, and maybe some build quality fixes, etc...) I'm mostly disappointed but I ended up getting it anyway because of the deep discount I got from my company. Don't need bootloader unlocked since I plan on using Android Pay.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CraigP17:
So you read all the reviews... Knew exactly what you were getting... And you're surprised?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bartolo5:
This! many many times. My latest phones have been Xperia Z3, Xperia Z5, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, SGS 7 and Note 7 so I have some baggage.

The first thing I noticed with Pixel XL is how incredibly fluid and fast everything is. There's essentially ZERO wait to do anything on the phone. Even my Note 7 would freeze sometimes, and the more you loaded it up, the more it would stumble. Nexus 5X was a lag joke, and 6P was thermally compromised. Pixel XL just flies through everything and it does so consistently. Battery life is great, updates will be great. I personaly don't care much about assistant, although that's another example where 'OK Google' will work every single time from anywhere on Pixel. Pixel launcher is just an excuse to do something different. Speaker could be better, specially the bottom position of it can be quite annoying sometimes, but loudness is good. I'm loving it and I couldn't go back.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] EternalSeekerX:
Reading this thread has really helped, I was looking for the pixel as a note 7 replacement but from what i see , s7 edge beats pixel in speed test, has better exynos cpu over sd821 which is just a sd820 with better battery saving, s7 edge has usb host while pixel xl doesn't. S7 edge has the better amoled, ip68 and sd card. Unless the pixel xl cost as much or less than the s7 edge I would get it, but Its more It's expensive.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] davado:
pixel xl or s7 edge

Eternal Seeker

Personally I think the XL and s7 edge, are good each with their own merits. Im still weighing up the options. I think the s7 edge looks and feels like a sleek sexy phone. But to be honest, Im not that smitten with a curved screen and high scratch chassis. Where, for me, the s 7 edge would score, is in the after sales . The dedicated Samsung cases. and especially the samsung window flip cases. All available to purchase with the phone. Both phones are 5.5 screen size. Yet the xl screen looks larger, and seems far more practical and user friendly. S7 edge water resistant sounds...nice... so to the limited use of the edge, and wireless charging...nice. But none of it that necessary. So I guess, its looking at what you do have in the xl which, from the times I have used it in the store, seems really worthwhile.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] thacounty:
Those edge screens are nightmares for SPs and cases. It's a solution looking for a problem IMO, but some people love them. There is no reason that water resistance isn't standard on flagships in 2017, necessary or not.
