[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] tiny70thomas:
Yeah, it goes without saying you won't have the SD card slot or removable battery....and Samsung doesn't do removable batteries anymore either so that point is moot. The Samsung apps I was used to have easily been replaced by Google apps. Yes it's an adjustment when you use on phone for a couple of years, but that goes without saying. I know this. The Pixel is snappy as all hell...one thing I thought was cool even though it may seem trivial is when I uninstall apps, it's instant....also the free unlimited cloud is cool. Pure Android just runs smoother. The processor is nominally an increase, I see a noticeable difference but I think some of that cone from TouchWiz to Vanilla. The customer service on the phone, the camera is better imho, and the call quality and wifi do come in stronger and clearer. Even though I have a Verizon , the two bloatware apps are uninstallable, so I doubt there is much difference between mine and a Google edition one. I believe this will be the first phone I keep through other new flagships debuts, happily waiting for the Pixel XL 2. I hope and pray they go waterproof on the next one.

Just started My return :(

I absolutely love this phone, but I had to return it. I had constant issues with my hotspot. A third of the time, my chromecast would say Network Router Error. Another Third it would connect, but my phone wouldn't see the Chromecast. The other third it worked.

I called Project Fi *better help then google for sure*, and she had me open settings, then hit setup tether, then save, and it turns off hotspot and turns it back on and it worked for that instance. I tried using tasker to turn it on this way consistently, but still got errors.

Because the phone doesn't support MHL or Miracast (Purposely blocked by software IMO), I was stuck unable to cast my phone with is a show stopper for me. I'm not short on $ for toys, but this just made me really sad, other then that, this phone is amazing.

I'm getting the Nexus 6P and I will have to leave it on MM for the Miracast hack to work (hence why i blame purpose software blocking by google, a very apple move), but I prefer Miracast since it doesn't require a working hotspot/internet connection. I will also benefit from matured development.

Again, all the flaws I found with Google Pixel are Software related, might be fixed or hacked (Miracast) with time, but for now, its back to Google.

I am not crying over the fact I got my Nexus 6P for 430$ Manufacturer Refurbished. (128GB Variant).
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Shaelz:
I kinda think my 6P was better in some pretty tangible ways - screen and modding.. also the phone has generally made me dislike google as a company more than ever before after dealing with their sales support and then technical support - it is GARBAGE and super frustrating unless you need to simply facilitate a return which they are fine at.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
That's a pretty good deal on the 6p I sold my 128 for $575
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] FreeSoftwareServers:
Yes I thought was a good deal, specially the refurb part since they aren't sold new anymore. He basically said he got a refurb to sell to put towards his Pixel lol.

Well I was about to change to an RMA, but google said my 15 day Buyers Remorse period would be expired by the time I got my new phone. So I guess I will return it. I could spend the return on a new one, but I just tried Miracast and man its blazing fast and easy. Well see, I've never even played with a Nexus device, if it doesn't feel right, I'll try round two with Pixel.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Builtfordtough1:
My complaint coming from note 7 is the screen real estate I lost due to the lack of the home button that is part of the screen reather then a physical button.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] yacchatta:
I expected much more quality for a phone with such a high price tag. I have the phone for about two months now and I have some design complaints. First, even it is covered by a cover* the tiny gap on the top right of the phone shall not be (http://xdaforums.com/pixel-xl/help/check-xl-t3486413). Second the phone never dropped or had other strong impacts, but on the top left, it seems as if the paint under the screen glass is spalling (? I will try to upload a photo later). This is a no go for such an expensive phone in my opinion.

What I'm also missing is noise reduction with the ear plugs (I changed from Sony Xperia Z2) and more steps for the volume. Somewhere in the middle the volume takes a huge step and for me the lower volume is too quiet and the higher volume (remember just 1 step) is way to loud. But that problem I had with most of my phones except the Z2.

In summary, it is a very good phone, but for that price range I expected more.

* not from google, with googles transparent case (which I luckily got for free somehow) the gap isn't covered!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Bruce lee roy:
None whatsoever. It has exceeded my expectations. And the knowledge that development will eventually pick up can best be described as - Bliss.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mjs2011:
Yes. Overall good start by Google but I went back to the S7 Edge.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Builtfordtough1:
Just sent it back went with the v20 which is much better but still no note 7.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
That's funny, I like the LG V20 more than the Note 7 (had each for about a month and a half) and I'm switching to the Pixel XL because I like IT better than the V20. I think the V20 is superior in several ways, but for my needs, Pixel XL fits the bill better.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mjs2011:
Lol and I think the S7 Edge is better than both the Pixel and V20. ?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Haha, that's so funny. Lots of good phones to choose from this year, even as a Verizon customer with no access to Axon, OnePlus, etc.

I just have a thing with Samsung these days... Starting to dislike them more and more (explosions didn't help, nor the reports of tons of fake reviews against HTC, a company which is dying despite putting out awesome phones each year). I get the attraction to their phones (my wife has S7 and it's pretty sleek looking) but I still can't stand TouchWiz (even the Note 7 was slowed down by it!) and they're just getting a bit too Apple-y for my liking. The Note 5 was one of my favorite phones ever though, I will say. It just amazed me how much faster the LG V20 is compared to the Note 7, which is absurd since they're basically identical, hardware-wise.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ithehappy:
Ass I created this topic and you guys joined in, time to close this I suppose.

Just two weeks I have been using this, to simply put, LOVE THE PHONE. Best Android without a doubt. Excellent camera. Software optimisation is great. I still am missing a couple of features and bearing a few stock Android nonsense, but other than that I can't complain really. This phone works how I always have dreamt Android would, finally the dream became a reality, so really happy for that.

I will never go to a length to compare a Samsung or LG phone with this, their skins are cancer, simple as that.

[MENTION=2746542]Stephen[/MENTION]: Kindly close the topic if not a problem.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mjs2011:
Yeah I used to actually hate Samsung, particularly after the S3 and S4, but IMO, TouchWiz has improved a lot. The theme engine is really good too. What has really put me over the top with Samsung note is that I think the Gear S3 is the best smartwatch out there, including the Apple Watch.

Hi !

I'm trying to use my new Encore mDSD DAC with my OPO. I can connect it but everytime I plug the OTG cable (tried 2) network is be disabled. I've been experiencing the well-kown OTG pendrive issue that can be solved with plane mode but the main goal of this DAC is to be used with online music apps. I've tried COS 1.3, Resurrection Remix (The last one 5.8), the last TugaPower and the new CM 14 nightly. Each gave me the same result : network (GSM+Data) is disconnectd but the DAC is working perfectly. Has someone met the same issue before ? Is there any valid fix ? Thanks a lot.

Anybody know anything about the Lifeproof Fré? I love this phone but I work on the field with all type of weather and I'm getting scare it will broke due getting wet or dirty. I'm beginning to wonder if it was a good choice because it is not waterproof.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] magestic1995:
Im really hoping they can release the case already, I know they have been reliable with other phones. Im hoping to using it for vacations and snowboarding this year.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] ndhusmc:
Both the Pixel and Pixel XL cases have been released as of 1100 EST today.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Majin101:
Just bought one too hehe
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] dapoktan:
wow. jealous.. ive been wanting a waterproof case for my nexus' for years.. hopefully theyll have a lifeproof case next yr when I'm ready to upgrade to the pixel 2.

make sure yall buy a ton of these to show them the demand ;)
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Trooper27:
These cases add a decent amount of bulk though right? Just wish they were not so much money.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Majin101:
I've never had a LifeProof case, but once I get it. I'll send some pics! I was desperate to get one because I want the waterproof, dustproof, etc... I love the phone so much that it deserves to be protected! Plus I don't have the protection plan haha
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Trooper27:
Oh I hear you man! I have never had one either, mainly due to the price point. Definitely post up some pics when you get it though. Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
I plan to buy one before we go to the beach h this summer.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] digitalundertaker:
Had one for my Galaxy S6 and it worked really well, the only problem was a rainbow effect if you don't clean the glass very well.

The power port cover broke twice but they send me a new both time only by sending a picture of the broken one. You don't need to send the broke case to them. For the warranty it worth the price my opinion.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] dermotti:
Do you have to remove your tempered glass to use this case?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Majin101:
I removed my tempered glass. I just got my case and attached it (skipped the water test hehe). So far it's nice, but damn it is quite bulky. I have the XL, yes i have smalls hands ( I'm Asian D:). Hmmm idk if I'd recommend it just yet, maybe if I had the regular pixel then I might not have complained, but having this xl and it's case on together is making me second guess. I'll post pics as soon as I can. It does feel protected in terms of water resistant. It doesn't feel as sturdy if I were to drop it, but who knows. It slips off my hands. I'm going to buy a kickstand or finger holder thing where you attach it on the phone or case. If you guys have any questions, I'll do my best to answer.

Eh the buttons (volume and power) are kind of hard to press too. Think about the price and I think it's not worth it now... Haha fml! And the dust gets under the screen, how is this waterproof! I'm scared to try.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] magestic1995:
Has anyone used this case with a dbrand skin? Would really like to be able to use both.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] ndhusmc:
Just got mine today. No more bulk if not less than my OtterBox Commuter. Only issue I have is there's a good 1mm air gap between the screen and the built in screen protector. I have a glass screen protector on currently which might be causing the gap as there is a black foam piece that creates a gap for the earpiece. I might try it without my glass screen protector in a few days if the built in screen protector doesn't settle.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] tx3kgtman:
Received my lifeproof this last Thursday and not happy with the screen protector at all. It takes all the clarity out of the phone. Especially on white screens it looks like its very grainy/pixelated. My wife has a lifeproof on her 7 plus and the grainy/clarity loss is not near as bad. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] ndhusmc:
As an update, I took the glass screen protector off and the gap is gone. Im happy with it so far.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] digitalundertaker:
What about sound?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] ndhusmc:
Downward blasting speaker output is slightly muffled but not distorted or garbled like some previous versions of LifeProof cases. I'd say it's definitely on par with the LifeProof Fre Power I had on my iPhone 6.

Earpiece output is perfect and not muffled that I could notice.

As far as for voice input, I made multiple phone calls and asked how I sounded and no one noticed any distortion of my voice.

I am going to buy official SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 Clear View Case Cover, but I am struggling whether to get a silver or a black case for my black S7. It's really hard to determine from the pictures what is the difference, because they always present silver version of S7 with with silver case and black version of S7 with black case. Which one would look better on the black version?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] knobtviker:
I got the silver one on a silver S7. Looks and snaps on superb and it's not obstructive on the keyboard.

On a black S7, personally I would go for the case with a black rim. If you like the bling, go for the silver one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] syla:
In my opinion, don't ever buy this case. It did micro scratchs on the top of the screen and a few on the right edge after less than one week. The reason is that if tiny particles got trapped between the cover and the screen, then they will damage your screen. You are warned now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] destz0r:
which case do u recommend? i ordered the spigen thin fit, hope its good (dont want a case which makes the phone too bulky)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] syla:
I got the Rugged Armor from Spigen, really good material and fits really well. Also ordered a Yootech screen protector. It's not tempered glass cause it seems because of the 2.5D screen it's almost impossible to fit a tempered glass effectively on it. Gorilla Glass 4 should be resistant enough anyway...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] marvelspires:
I confirm that. I bought this case for my wife in 1 week appeared several scratches at the top of the screen. I was VERY BRAVE. As Samsung makes a cover that scratches the screen of your cell phone. RIDICULOUS.

[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] NL_henk:
Guys,

A couple of days ago I bought a new Sony xperia x compact (MM 6.0.1). To get rid of al those bloatware, I wanted to root the device first before using it.

Now I've tried a couple of root apps (by apk as well as by computer), like kingoroot and wondershare etc, but none of them rooted my device...

Before desperately trying all of them, is there anyone who rooted his Sony xperia x compact (F5321)?? And do you have a tutorial or small explanation how you fixed it?

Kind regards!

[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] NL_henk:
Thanks for your quick answer!

It sounds complicated and I'm not experienced in flashing bootloaders... And I'm wondering if that's really necesarry. I just want to remove some preinstalled apps. I don't want to flash a custom ROM.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] EliWallace:
Yes, in order to root the device you must unlock the bootloader (via Sony's website) and flash a custom recovery/kernel and then your choice of superuser (SuperSU or phh's).

This will continue to be the case until the (increasingly unlikely) case that a root exploit is found that works on MM phones.

Z5 series had the virtue of being shipped with Lollipop, which was apparently slightly more vulnerable.

Also note that you will lose some functionality if you unlock the bootloader, including but not limited to camera enhancements and PS remote play
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] NL_henk:
OK! I saw on Sony's website the tutorial to unlock the bootloader. Sounds doable to me.

Should it be enough, after unlocking the bootloader and installing SuperSU, to remove the bloatware? Or do I also have to flash the kernel?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] lba810701:
Hi!

I think, easiest if you stay on stock rom, you should install a modificated / advanced stock kernel, like i posted above. But, i think its working rom version base must be " 34.1.A.1.198 ".

Or, after unlocked bootloader, flash with fastboot a good working!!! custom recovery ( i think the only one today is a twrp " https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0j3VJ1Xp5N8M1ZGbzBBMTdyRnM/view " ). after that, flash supersu. In this case, i dont known to much about drm fix, please search other forums.

Freshly clean installed the rom&patch as described and later flashed GSandeep's Ultimate kernel for CM. Everythings fine since install, later i'll tell more about it when tested.

My question is is that normal that when i longpress the menu key nothing's happen? In MM when you press menu key that brings up the recents and the long press brings the menu window, but for me not.

Could you help me please?

Other thing:

For those who faced internal storage not found bug. I read somewhere that if came from Lollipop first install the official or for example Cuoco92's Marshmallow rom and then install a CM13 rom.

I came from marshmallow and internal storage is OK.
