You do understand most of us ordered from Google and that won't work for us, right?

On a side note. I think I am going to call Google today because I am returning my Black (Super Dark Grey) Pixel XL 128GB, I already ordered a replacement Silver Pixel, but I want to make sure I keep my Daydream Promo. Hopefully they can give me a code. I am only doing it this way because they wouldn't exchange it for a different color.

Also anybody heard if you ordered 2 phones on the same order do you get 2 promo codes?

Did someone find a retailer to pre order in Canada?

Best buy and Bell aren't available at the moment, they're only saying it's coming in November.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] SamuriHL:
I pre-ordered from the play store and got my pixel xl a week ago. I did get the email stating I'd be getting a code emailed to me but haven't seen anything, either. Hopefully they start emailing the codes out soon.

Obviously my post was directed to verizon users, which should have been pretty obvious when I said VZW. You do know that if a post doesn't relate to you, you can always just pass over it and move on, right?

It was my explosion proof Note 7 box. Required signature and all. Lol. I'll update if I hear anymore news on my Daydream shipment.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] norcal61:
Lol. The note 7 jokes never get old. I love it. I've always hated Samsung phones with a passion so I'm loving all this flack they're catching.

I just got the confirmation of shipment today for my DayDream vr headset from Verizon.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jp712:
I got this in my email today...

I guess I'm getting the gift card and not the VR Headset?! I saw that was possible in the fine print, but thought surely I submitted it the day after the phone released was quick enough to actually get one!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] st3ph3nbr!tt:
Filed mine same day too. I believe this is standard email layout. They usually do cards. I believe we will get the Daydream. My email came last week and said the same.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] st3ph3nbr!tt:
The link sends me to the rebate page, and this is at the very top.

We have to file something? I got my pixel xl from Google on Google Fi. All I've gotten is an email from Google saying that eventually I could get a free daydream. I never got instructions on needing to file anything. Is this just pertaining to Verizon?

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Tannerj:
FYI..... If you pre-ordered your "Quite Black" Pixel (XL or regular) from Verizon and requested the Day Dream VR, then watch out you may not get it. The Verizon rebate center has denied my request because the eligible phone list has the color "Slate" listed and not "Quite Black" and states the Black phone does not qualify, even though the UPC's match perfectly. I did ask if they were honoring the rebate for the "Blue" and "Silver" pixel's even though the color names are "Very Blue" and "Very Silver". They had no comment.

Has anyone either received the Day Dream or an email showing it was shipped (tracking number) that pre-ordered and "Quite Black" Pixel (XL or regular) from Verizon?

Thanks... Jarrod
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] st3ph3nbr!tt:
No actual tracking number. Just the approval number and says I'll get it within 30 days. (Very silver xl)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ruffryder91290:
I've received my rebate tracking number for day dream by preordering the Quite Black 128gb Pixel XL from Verizon. Wasn't sure if I would receive the rebate because I'm not paying monthly for the phone. I got it on a 2 year contract at a reduced price.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Tannerj:
Here is screen shot of my rebate status and all it states is that is invalid. I had to call them and that is when I was told my "Quite Black" pixel xl 128gb did not qualify because it was black and not "Slate". This was the same story from 1 rep and 2 different supervisors.

I did not care if I got the day dream or not, but the $80 gift card would have nice to have. I have resubmitted my request so we will see what happens. Hell Verizon customer service is even confused on this issue.

Jarrod
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] imnuts:
Check the desktop site. The mobile tracking page shows that for me too, and the issues is that the UPC and receipt attachments didn't upload properly.

Sent from my Pixel XL
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jp712:
I got the email saying that they have confirmed it. Verizon Pixel XL Quite Black.

That is a really ignorant thing for them to screw up, slate, black, mostly black. Thats BS! Their system has the color wrong. They didn't even make a slate... this makes me angry and I'm not even talking to the fools!

:mad:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] johnciaccio:
So November 10 is the official release date from Google.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Zeroflucks:
Weird, i submitted mine the same day as you but my status just says "We're working on your submission. Please check back in a week for an update."

I also have the Quite Black color. We shall see what happens. I'll report back if i too get shafted with this nonsense.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sirduke989:
Rebate invalid due to getting black

Having the same issue here with the 128 GB Black Pixel XL. Called once after getting the invalid message and the rep said that everything looked good and that he would escalate my issue and I should call back after 5 days. 5 days go back and I don't hear anything so I call again, now the next rep tells me the rebate is invalid because of the color.

A few hours later I though I would give chat a go this time, same deal as the phone call. "I am very sorry but the Black device does not qualify for the Google Daydream VR Headset" and he suggest that I call.

There are also people on the Verizon Community forums with the same issue and at least one person said their rebate went though with a Black Pixel.

I was also one of the Note 7 owners and I am wishing now I went with the refund option and bought my Pixel directly from Google with their financing option! Good note to self for the future.

Their original rebate details never said anything about the color and here is the proof, here is a snapshot of their webpage taken on 10/18/2016 https://web.archive.org/web/2016101...rizonwireless.com/?intcmp=VZ-GHOME-D-WIRELESS

Going down to the Verizon store this afternoon to see if they can help straighten the whole mess out.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] wryun:
The stupid thing about Verizon's mix-up is they have the colors named wrong, so in their database, a Quite Black Pixel or Black Pixel fails the rebate check because"eligible devices" show a Slate color Pixel. My 128GB Quite Black Pixel XL got the invalid rebate email as well. I talked to a rebate rep yesterday and he said my device shows eligible in their system on his end so he noted that in my rebate submission record and escalated it for reevaluation. I should hear back within 5 days ... Hopefully that takes care of it. This is super annoying. Thanks Verizon ... SMH.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jjayzx:
I got black and mine went through.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Zeroflucks:
That's pretty dumb. Why didn't they just have 2 options (i.e. Pixel XL 32GB/128GB, Pixel 32GB/128GB) Why must they over complicate things. Makes no sense.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] norcal61:
Any Google Fi customers heard anything about getting your daydream?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] andyfoster:
As we are all aware, the Pixel/Pixel XL is not available in "slate". However, "slate" is one of the colours (or *the* colour here - UK) for the Daydream View. Can you see where Verizon went wrong?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] SamuriHL:
Not yet, no.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Tannerj:
Andyfoster, I would agree with you, however the UPC listed on the website may list the color Slate but matched my UPC on my phone box.

---------- Post added at 07:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 AM ----------

Good news, I received an email from the rebate center stain my rebate had been approved. I guess someone realized it does not matter what the discription says if you are including the UPC to verify the correct product. Stupid people. Lol
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] wera750:
I have quite black from Verizon and have received my confirmation email.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Jacobk85:
Same here 128 Pixel XL in Quite Black. It was approved when I submitted my request and I got my confirmation email as well. I'd call or chat with someone else. That's not cool.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Kranin:
I pre-ordered two Pixel XLs through my Project Fi family plan and I only received one pre-order email. I placed two separate orders (one for each number in the plan) and the two devices were delivered to two different names at two different addresses.

My guess would be that Google is limiting them to "one per account".

---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

Thus far I've only received the initial "4 weeks" Daydream email from Google (two Pixel XLs pre-ordered and delivered through Project Fi).

Has There Been A Full Review Of The Daydream Yet? All. I Can Find Are Hands On Reviews. . .
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Kranin:
Not that I've been able to find. I imagine they will flood out starting tomorrow when the Daydream has its retail release.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] southernstyle:
I hope this is the right place to ask, but does anyone know if it's possible to sync multiple VR headsets together for movie playback? I am on the fence about ordering one for my gf so we could do that. She has a S7 Edge, so I know compatibility will be in the works, but maybe even a step further, would syncing work with Daydream and Gear VR? I googled it and couldn't really find anything, thought maybe I missed something and someone here might know? TIA
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Zeroflucks:
From my understanding Gear VR plugs into your phone (i could be wrong though) and the Daydream connects via bluetooth. So, to answer your question. I don't think you can. At least not on mobile VR maybe you can on PC VR headsets but those are around $400-$600 each new. You can try to start the movie at the same time using the same video codec maybe? Not sure if that helps
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] southernstyle:
That's what I figured so I appreciate the response. Thanks man

Anyone who bought theirs from Google get a promo code email yet?

If they go on sale tomorrow and we don't get our codes until after they're sold out I'm going to be a bit unhappy.

I bought my Pixel from Verizon but i did do the promo on their site. Still waiting for an update on the status. According to their site they wont be shipping until 11/16. Now sure if that is the same from Google store or not

The terms were 4 weeks after delivery, so nobody has got theirs yet

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] st3ph3nbr!tt:
Got to try one out for about ten minutes today. Tried it with a Pixel XL. Most cases should work. My pixel xl wouldn't fit with OtterBox defender, but barely too big. It was like a Harry Potter demo or something. It wasn't bad. I hope the face is adjustable. There were a lot of light coming in and reflecting off the lenses making it NOT the most submersible experience. But I'm sure that is fixable. Didn't really check all that out.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Kranin:
The Verge, Wired, TechRadar, CNET, WSJ, The Guardian (and more) have all released reviews of Daydream VR about an hour ago. Apparently the embargo is over!

Pre ordered mine in the UK from Carphonewarehouse. It's amazing! Everything from the 360 YouTube videos, go karting game to viewing old panoramic photos I took years ago are awesome! Caution though ... The phone gets very hot! Up until now, phone has always run cool, today was the first time it got pretty hot after about 20 minutes on daydream.

I'm ready to buy a Pixel XL, so can anyone confirm if the free Daydream VR is still available through Google? If it is, I'll order it now, but if not I'll wait for the prices to drop.

I'm also eligible for the T-Mobile $325 credit on the phone, which is a limited time offer. Does anyone know when that will expire? It would be sweet to get both deals!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jjayzx:
Pretty sure it was just for preorders.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Zeroflucks:
Update: Yup, my status went to invalid today. Reason was "Missing Sales Receipt Date" I have the black Pixel XL. I sent the given email a copy of my sales receipt. Guess they can't see that i have the phone active on my account and when i ordered the Phone on my orders page. We'll see what happens now i guess. I'll report back if anything changes. Anyone else still having issues getting their redeem submission to go through with Verizon?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] imnuts:
I had to contact them twice to get my rebate validated. When I first submitted everything, the attachments didn't go through, so I had to resend both. They processed those and then the rebate went to just invalid. Sent a follow-up and a couple days later the status was valid. Over the weekend the status changed to prepping to be mailed.

When I talked to Google Fi support they stated 4-8 weeks from when I received it. Definitely longer than the original estimated 4 weeks... but whatev's guess they wanted to fill out brick and mortar/external marketing deals first before they honored their direct customers. Makes sense, but lame in the end.

You supposed to some how attach this strap to the remote ?
