[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
I have Sprint so I also have CDMA as well so it is an issue finding good phones. The 2 year contact you sign with Verizon is basically a service agreement, meaning you are going to use their service for another 2 years before you have the ability to just bail. Afterwards it goes month to month, at least with Sprint. With Sprint anyways, the phone isn't an issue, assuming the 2 year contract is a purchase not a lease which I suspect it is. For example, my brother signed a 2 yr contract with Sprint, got a Galaxy, then broke it after a year from dropping it too much. He is using some old phone he bought used. No problem. I just got a Nexus 5X after having my Nexus 6 for just one year. Sprint hasn't called either of us demanding why our phones are not being used. We just agreed legally to use their service for another 2 years. If you don't plan on leaving Verizon anyways the contract is negligible. It's just that if you get rid of the pixel and something happens to your Nexus 6, you will be on your own until the 2 yr contract is up.

I've been looking at the Pixel XL new in box like yours would be and they are going for a lot right now given that they are sold out. I highly suggest you look at eBay. New Pixel XL in a box are being priced at $900+

You could buy it at $240 , sell it even at a slightly mark up at $825, then keep the $585. That's very cheap esp for the XL.....

The OP likely is going to keep using Verizon's service anyways whether he buys the Pixel or not. The only difference is if he wanted to leave Verizon or plans to then the contract would lock him in until its over. In the US, most people who are on the major networks (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile) generally stay with their carrier, there isn't a lot of movement.......the cheap pre-paid, lower tier networks is a different story................
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Thx for the info. In the Netherlands and probably in more EU-countries we have 'sim only contracts'.

Buying a device yourself and a sim only contract is mostly cheaper.

240 + (24 * 10) is the real price you have to pay for the Pixel.

That's cheap compared with prices here in the Netherlands. (Still > $1000,- for a Pixel XL).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Keep in mind the Verizon Pixel XL has a locked bootloader. I believe it's a terrible deal because of that, and you could do just as well simply by buying a 6P from Amazon between Black Friday and the end of the year.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aroy97:
well there is a tool released to unlock the bootloader of a Verizon Pixel device (dePixel8). But it could be possible that a future update may force-lock the bootloader again, which is something to think about I guess.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The last time the bootloader on a Verizon device was bypassed, it was the Galaxy S4. Verizon's next update patched the hole that allowed people to do that. While I admit forgetting about dePixel8, it's a virtual lock that Verizon will patch the flaw that allows the bootloader to be unlocked on their next update, when they decide to release it.

That's the other bad thing about getting a Verizon Pixel/Pixel XL. You're at the mercy of Verizon for updates, not Google.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonikJDK:
Unlock it, flash the google factory image and disable ota updates to be sure. Assuming you can get it before Google patches the bypass.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Assuming it can be unlocked.

It's up to the OP what he wants to do. However, he needs to be aware of the potential pitfalls of purchasing a device from a carrier on contract. The locked bootloader with the potential of not being able to unlock it and carrier interference with the updates are but two of them. Getting a phone from a carrier for a reduced price is never a good deal. Buying direct is better.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanam:
Verizon. Bootloader policy. Possible bloatware (its Verizon do it's impossible to believe something shady won't be in there). Pricing. Nuff said...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
I saw this promo. I'd pass. Usually the benefit of a contract is to get the immediate savings right away while forfeiting the ability to move carriers. Here you sign a contract, pay out the a$$ upfront, then get a trickle benefit over 2 yrs. I'd just get a 6p over black friday if you'd like to switch.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machinist25:
It's a good price. But I opted to finance through project Fi instead. I'm not a heavy data user so my monthly is about the same as a contract would be with Verizon. Verizon's service is arguably better but I'm satisfied with Fi, and I really like how well it works internationally, making it a better value to me. Plus I'm not confident that Verizon will release timely updates.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottIsMyName:
Once you unlock it using DePixel8, you flash google factory images and there's no way Verizon can relock it with future updates.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aroy97:
maybe, but back when I had a S5 and needed tech support for it to get it replaced, Verizon representative notified me over the phone that they wont do anything as they were able to see that I wasn't on a stock ROM and that I was rooted. Although the representative just told me to reflash the stock ROM and keep it unrooted and to call back the next day.

Nonetheless I'm sure they will be able to do the same with my Pixel and void my warranty, best to just buy it from Google directly and avoid all of that crap.

Thanks everyone for your input and advice
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibsk8:
The 10$ price is for the 32gb Pixel only, which is a good price. The 128gb Pixel is 15$ * 24mo, the 32gb XL is 20$ * 24mo and the 128gb XL is 25$ * 24mo.

There's still a savings to be had on all variants however not enough of a savings on the 128gb XL version for me, I was actually hesitating giving to my unlimited to get two 128gb XL version if it was 240$ a phone, not the case.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
It's indeed 'better' to buy a phone separately from the provider. Here (Netherlands) we have many people paying too much, because the 2-year contact automatically continues. Many forget to change the contract after 2 years.

Hey everyone,

I am trying to get Gear Manager to work in my Note4 (N910C) running eRobot ROM v14, but probably some required Gear System APKs are missing in this ROM, can someone please give me a list of what System APKs Gear Manager depends on (dependencies), or give me a Flashable zip of them? Thanks in advance!

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] SEALBoy:
Is there a way to adjust the default vibration of the navigation buttons? All I see in settings is an option to enable/disable vibration. I have root and Xposed so if there's a way to do it through that I'd love to know. Thanks in advance.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] aLexzkter:
No one? I can't believe no one complains about this. The lowest keyboard vibration on Gboard (1ms) is way too strong!! Navkeys vibration is too rough as well.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] mariusfl0rian:
True, wish it would be less strong
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] aLexzkter:
I've been a long-time user of PBMC xposed module, and app that allows you to map any hardware key (even virtual navbar) to perform any desired action. You can set custom vibration or even led/sound notification everytime you trigger an individual action.

Adjusting the vibration to 10ms makes no difference on the capacitive buttons: phone vibrates as strong as always, but if you set it to 100ms it will vibrate longer.

However,

setting the vibration to 0ms still makes the capacitive buttons to vibrate

although this module is supposed to override the "original key" function and hence its vibration lenght too. At least that's how it worked on both my previous LG G2 and Galaxy Note 4.

In other words, as long as "vibrate on touch" is enabled on the settings, the vibration will last ZTE's hardcoded? time no matter you try reducing or disabling it through xposed. (Same thing happening with Google keyboard when you set key press vibration to the minimum value of 1ms). If "vibrate on touch" is disabled and you use PBMC, you get 0 vibration if vibration time is 0ms, but you still get too much vibration if it's set to 10ms (minimum value on this app)...

It's the thing that I dislike the most about this phone. It's minimum value of vibration is too strong and it's audible, it makes a cheap sound. Still can't believe so few people comment on this.
[Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion] HeCareth:
With phones it is all about those small things that make the experience for you ever more enjoyable. Like everyone else not being able to quickly view notifications while your device was sitting on a desk was kind of annoying. While there were apps that tried to mimic this feature it just quite wasn't there.

Well with the new OTA that I promptly side loaded the Pixel is nearing perfect for me. Coming from the S7 Edge makes it even more enjoyable. Why? Because the S7 Edge always on display was kind of useless. Sure you can see the time and a few notifications but it just did not apply to enough apps which made it more annoying.

Anyone just my 2 cents.

[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilalrajput:
need help.I bought tronsmart qualcomm quick charger 3.0.It charges some time my motorola droid turbo with fast charging as it says turbo charger detected and some times it charges like a normal slow charger.70% time charging is normal and 30$ its fast charging.Can anyone tell me the reason about this?
[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMatt:
When the battery is low, it will turbo charge VERY fast.

When the battery is near full, the charger will charge at a more normal speed.

However, no matter the speed my phone ALWAYS detects the "turbo charger", as I'm running RR 6.0.1. It always says "turbo charger connected" when I plug in with a fast charger. I just plugged in with 95% full battery: "Turbo charger connected"! Of course, at almost full battery capacity it will not charge super fast -- even with the Turbo charger.

If I charge with a "regular" charger, like my Qi wireless charger, it will not give that notification.

Your observation of 70% (normal charging) and 30% (fast charging) seem reversed, unless you are plugging in a lot with the battery at 80% full? But even then, your phone should detect the fast charger and give you an on-screen notification -- even if it doesn't charge as fast as when the battery is very low.

Are you not seeing the on-screen notification (toast) when you plug in?
[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilalrajput:
Yes i see notification 30% but not everytime.so i open turbo toast app and verify if it is turbo charger detected or not
[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMatt:
So, when you plug in your fast charger (turbo charger) you do not see the on-screen notification (toast) every time?

Since your are using RR 6.0.1 which has [MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION] Turbo Toast app, do you have all these boxes checked on Turbo Toast?
[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilalrajput:
Yes these r all checked
[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMatt:
Then, sorry, I do not know why you are not seeing the notification.
[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schwinn8:
A bad or low quality cable can cause this to happen. I had a bad cable in my car which caused my phone to charge slowly... I replaced it with another one and everything is fine again.

[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilalrajput:
Can anyone suggest me the best data cable how to check quality of data cable.which one should buy.i cant buy from online so can anyone tell me which one should i buy
[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spott07:
Buy one that comes from a major phone manufacturer, one that's branded Motorola or Samsung or LG or HTC. Not simply a cable that's "compatible with..." or "for..." a major brand, but one that's sold by them, packaged with their logo and has that logo molded into the cable end.
[Moto Maxx Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schwinn8:
In addition to the other recommendations, Monoprice.com makes very good cables, in general, too. For this test, I'd suggest just getting/borrowing a cable from someone else and seeing if that fixes it.

Original firmware dated way back in September was not polished,with newer firmware dated late October things moving along.

Running the V99 for a few hours after update no Major problems or issues, Heat no Melt Down Temps Mid to Hi 60c when pushed.

Found that both WiFi, Ethernet speeds good at this location, and overall performance was on track for this Breed of Media Player.

[Device Reviews and Information] asskicka101:
Guys, can anybody help me out in giving me a link to upgrade my SCISHION V99 Magic S912 (3Gb-32Gb)...mine got android 6 in it, since I bought through AliE...somehow, mine working pretty sluggish especially with Kodi and I have another box with S905 chip in it and that is working fine & smooth compare to this box. A stabil Android 7 & above firmwares would be great.

Oh another thing is, I always install either Top TV Launcher 2 or SquareHome Launcher (those are my favourites & very customizable also, android tv efficient when using remote or mouse). Is there probability that there is a compatibilty issue with factory installed launcher? Although, from my trial & error effort of trying many different launchers, I have found that those 2 probably the best launcher to have in the TV Box.

Any response will be much appreciate. Thanks, guyz/girlz...
