To the first question mark, yes, you can fill your phone (pretty much) before autodeletion. There might be some sort of failsafe amount to keep free.

After filling the device a certain amount maybe there is a warning or suggestion. Not sure what Google's plan is.

About second question mark, there are no settings I can see

What exactly is the difference between buying pixel from Google store and Verizon Pixel from Best Buy? I want to use it on sprint. Will is still be able to get the newly announced RCS messaging with verizon pixel on sprint network?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] nednednerb:
When I am in Chrome and some apps I can select words, there is a G icon with the word at the bottom of my screen. Pressing it, it asked for a permission then gave me a google result for that term, in my case, Wikipedia results, which works for me.

If I hold the home button, I see a bunch of results in Assistant.

Verizon Pixel is SIM locked to Verizon. Google version is SIM unlocked and will work on Sprint and Verizon. Sprint probably cannot offer RCS messaging if they haven't announced it and don't already have it. There are many carrier only features when certain companies decide to add proprietary or licensed technologies.

Complete unroot?

Hey guys,

is it possible to completely unroot the Pixel later? I mean, is there a fuse that is blown, once you unlock the bootloader, or something similar? I have issues enabling Android for Work on a once-rooted Galaxy S6, I guess because of the "tripped Knox counter". I would like to avoid such issues in the future ...

If you flash factory image and are COMPLETELY stock firmware, you can relock bootloader, and you will be back to square one.

SIM locked. Does this mean I can't take a Verizon Pixel and put a Fi SIM into it?

I thought I read early on that all pixels were created equal and provider provisioning was done on first boot? I was hoping to take advantage of the BB black friday deal, while getting a Fi SIM to use to boot/provision the phone to begin with - hoping to avoid the locked boot loader?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] nednednerb:
If you try another SIM on first boot, you may be in luck. I don't recall reading about people trying that. I haven't really been reading Verizon or Fi threads though, because I'm in Canada on Telus.

Does anyone know how to change the device name? I've found different naming options in Wi-Fi Direct and Bluetooth, but these aren't what I'm looking for. Mine is currently

"Hewlett Packard3CD92B (base 16)	Hewlett Packard	11445 Compaq Center Drive	Houston 77070	US"

....at least that's what my router is listing as. I'm used to changing it in Developer Options, but it doesn't seem to be there. I can rename it from my router UI but I think that's only when it connects to my router. If I connect to different one, it'll read the original name, won't it?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] nednednerb:
That sounds like a printer.. or a code created by the router itself, not the Pixel. If some of the alphanumeric strings are your device ID, it --might-- be in build.prop or somewhere else in a system file..

OK so I can't seem to find a viable answer anywhere so maybe you all can help. I have a Verizon 32gb Pixel unlocked using dePixel8. Tried rooting using the boot-to-root.img and now I'm stuck at the google bouncing balls screen.

Whenever I try to fastboot the sailfish image for SU (boot to root) my pixel goes goes into the dancing dots screen infinitely unless I reboot back to the bootloader. I'm able to follow the rooting process up to that point but that's where my progress ends. Every post I find about this issue seems to get solved without anyone actually describing what they did to solve it. Any solutions?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] nednednerb:
Mostly, it is some unforeseen error that is unique to person.

As your bootloader is unlocked (good), your optimal solution has to be flash-all of factory image. Make sure you are using the real complete adb and fastboot binaries from latest SDK. SO MANY have issues and they said stuff like "I found Minimal ADB from such and such old post". You might not have that problem, but this is why some people are getting bootloop.

Hence, different solutions for different causes of "this issue".

Basically, most reliable method of fixing involves flash-all of factory image and starting process from beginning (I know, can take time) and following all directions as exactly as stated. It wrecks it maybe to use one different command or wrong version of SU for your firmware... And easy to do that.

Some people get away with just flashing stock boot.img and rerooting. Some get away with disabling "-w" in flash-all script to save their data.

Also, I saw one dev speak to "timing issue couldn't track down yet" which was breaking things randomly for some users. That means you MAY have done it completely correct and STILL have the system throw it for a loop.

Everything is basically still beta/alpha, not ironed out.

hi all, just upgraded from a 5x to a pixel and got a few qns to clear off my head.

1. My model is supposedly a german set (based on box language and what my importer told me)

Ootb my build was H and a system update after V. Isn't V build for usa variants while U for Eu/Row variants?

Any way to check which variant I have, e.g. 5x had h790 and h791 for US/ROW respectively

2. Has anyone managed to use chainfire CF-auto root on the V build? I keep getting stuck at the google circling balls screen, even after 10mins. Had to flash back stock boot.img to override changes to boot back up.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] nednednerb:
1. Your SIM carrier wanted to send you V build. Maybe it has to do with cellular frequencies and radio-- or you will get a European update at some pont... Not sure.

2. If you have V, and have an unlocked bootloader, best bet is follow directions in SuperSU thread (First two "Read this" posts or all three if you want to do it with TWRP.

I think "autoroot" is for non Pixel devices. I used boot-to-root for SR3 and TWRP for SR4

Can anyone walk me through updating my base version on twrp'd root

I tried looking at a bunch of different guides and I keep ending up confusing myself. I just want to be able to flash a build that is best for modding, custom kernels etc., without losing all of my apps, data, and root, preferably, I'm a bit reluctant to go ahead and try to flash a build for the first time without knowing exactly what I'm doing. Any help would be super appreciated ( I really want to get daydream to work!)

Edit: forgot to mention I'm on a Google issued phone using verizon as a carrier and I'm on build nde63l and security patch level october 5th. I only sort of have an idea of what I'm doing.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] nednednerb:
63X is latest Verizon build. Canadians got a mid month update but no point trying to find or flash it, as 7.1.1 is landing for all in less than a week.

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

Honestly best bet is reading guides and making your own notes about which steps to make. Then you can ask specific questions. So far from your two paragraphs, I'm not sure if your troubles are fastboot commands, understanding the rooting process in general, etc.

If you don't understand enough, I verily recommend that you don't do anything yet and you just read more. Read the OPs, and the links they send you to. Then read the first 5-10 pages of those important threads.

What you'll be amazed by is how many people ask questions that others ask them, "hey, WHAT did you try doing that for? I think you should just try the posted directions...they work for everyone else" The answers will help you troubleshoot.

1) You need updated Android SDK and platform tools (VERY VERY important. Most people start wrong by trying to skip this step) Avoid minimal ADB etc. Go to Google's updated source SDK API 25.

Most answers to most questions merely reword the OP instructions that obviously weren't read thoroughly.

My theory: reading more takes time away, some. But borking your device gives more stress and saps productivity.

I don't want minimal adb and when I ask I ask for clarification from fellow xda members, not merely a regurgitation of instructions posted immediately above.

honestly that's been the most relevant and useful response. I decided to get a little ballsy and mess around with it, and I found out I've been trying to flash the factory image with twrp. I think a big source of confusion was also that I wasn't making the distinction between a factory image and the actual build/OTA. I'm still new to the fastboot commands but I can understand them well enough to klutz my way through them. I'm gonna mess around and see if I can get this updated to V build or the latest one that just came out. Again thanks for the help, if I run into anything specific I'll come crawling back for advice

Could someone find on their Pixel and tell me what the Pixel's LMK/minfree/multitasking values are?

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] nednednerb:
You "can." It isn't supported by any developer. There are no "working directions" yet. No ROMs yet, recovery isn't stable, not much to flash. Basically however on dual partition Pixel there is boot_a and boot_b and system_a and system_b. Fastboot flash command can be assigned to either slot and some people have had luck rooting and then flashing one slot to stock. You had best find one of them and send a pm or quote & ask. Or read existing threads and find out their methods.I don't want to scour or create instructions I haven't tested, but I have read in the main TWRP and SuperSu threads in Pixel and XL forums the methods you seek.

Anyone know how to disable or change the "feature" where our phones automatically lower media volume on Bluetooth connections? For example, i have a Bluetooth receiver in my car that connects to AUX. I have my phone set to auto start playing music on Blackplayer upon pairing. But after about a sec of music playing the volume goes down to "safe levels". All I've been able to find in regards to this are rooting or using an app like tasker or other apps that auto adjust volume for you... is this not a setting that I can adjust somewhere?

So the new image just dropped for the Vzw Pixel. I'm unlocked and want to stay that way and not wipe data. Which files do I flash fastboot?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] aholeinthewor1d:
Sorry if this is a dumb question! New to the pixel..I've been with the s5 for a while so a lot of this stuff is new to me. Curious about 2 things.

I have a Verizon Pixel running NDE636. I have already unlocked the bootloader. I see people mentioning flashing the Google image.. would that basically make the phone the same as if I would have gotten it straight from Google? Meaning now I can flash updates right from Google and not have to wait for Verizon to release them??

My other question is about the new update getting pushed out today. I am guessing this is safe to install since I've already unlocked the bootloader? I haven't rooted yet or even used the phone much so I'm not worried if I have to wipe. How would I go about installing it? Would it make more sense to flash the full image or just the update.

Thanks!!

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] aholeinthewor1d:
I've been doing a bunch of reading and from my understanding we can just flash the Google image via fastboot and it's the same as the Google version then. I don't think anyone knows how updates will work then because yesterday update was for both the Google version and Verizon version. Also you never want to lock the bootloader at this point unless you never want to root or install ROMs. If you're on 7.1.1 you won't be able to unlock again

Not read the whole thread yet so apologies if mentioned already.

Having come to the Pixel from years of HTC devices I find myself disappointed with the lack of media and audio features. Aside from the loudspeaker quality being nowhere near the quality of HTC's stereo offering the main disappointment is the lack of native streaming options. The built in ability to stream to dlna and and airplay devices on the M9 was brilliant.

Is there a decent reliable app that will add the same functionality to the Pixel? Preferably free but don't mind paying if the app is God and well supported.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] xdamagoo:
I made the unfortunate choice of re-locking my Verizon bootloader before checking xda; powering on the pixel (or trying to boot into recovery from the bootloader) gives a pleasant "Your device is corrupt" message before powering back off, and doing a 'fastboot continue' from the bootloader sends the pixel into a bootloop.

Are there any longshot options I can try to get the Verizon Pixel running again with a locked bootloader or am I stuck with a paperweight and a nice reminder to RTFM?

Restore factory defaults

How do I guarantee a 100% clean install? I tried flashing from the factory images but some stuff from my previous SuperSU rooting stuck around the /root folder and the phone became unstable. The phone seems to work, but it's behaving weirdly; most recently, after wiping everything on TWRP and following this thread http://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-update-fastboot-t3498187 (with the sailfish image nde63v, the same my phone came with), android booted up normally and displayed the terrifying message "There's an issue with your device hardware, contact the device manufacturer" (or something to that effect). I admit I'm a little bit worried. Also, the flash-all.sh script and corresponding fastboot update command fail when unpacking system:

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
archive does not contain 'boot.sig'
archive does not contain 'boot_other.img'
archive does not contain 'recovery.img'
W/ (20187): Zip: unable to allocate space for file to 1591881452: No space left on device
failed to extract 'system.img': I/O Error

I found some older nexus threads about that but couldn't translate it to the new partitioning scheme.

------

Solved.

Manually flashing all images a few times instead of using the update command and using the newest version of fastboot from Google SDK seems to have fixed the problem. The older fastboot version from system packages seems to be the cause of the issue, it not being able to properly handle boot slots.

I've been thinking about buying the new pixel phone. Now, it isn't in sale in my country (Turkey), but a friend of mine can get it in the US and send it to me. If it is possible I don't want to order online from Google store, so I've been looking at Best Buy. They have Verizon Pixel in stores; however I am not sure that version will work with my carrier in Turkey.

Hopefully you have fixed this by now, but I just came across this thread and thought I would help. The image of the 'dead Android' that you're seeing is stock recovery. Hold down the power button and then while still holding it, press and release volume up. This will bring you to a screen you can navigate with volume buttons and select with power button. You can reboot device from there as one of the options.
