That's interesting then. There are people on the Google Product Forums who are having massive reboot issues on completely stock phones (as in, locked BL, no custom kernels, no root, etc.).

Some people seem to think it *may* be related to apps like Swarm, FB or even Google Play Services and that it may be something to do with GPS. Who knows...just figured I'd chime in that I pretty much eliminated my issue by going back to the April OTA. I'll try again with the June OTA.

I just started getting random freezes after the latest OTA also. I was fine,before.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mafiaboy01:
I've been getting some random reboots. Mostly while using FB or Twitter but sometimes in the launcher. Haven't had any issues till recent. I'm completely stock on May image.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jkashuba07:
Not sure that's accurate. I have used the Pro version almost since it first came to he store on multiple devices and never once had an issue with it, or my phones.

By the way, I do not have the issue of freezing or reboot. I can report back if I ever do.

Same here... Been getting a lockup & reboot at least once a week.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] IlyaKol:
Anyone running the June OTA that had the same issues as me (see previous page, crazy reboots) on the May OTA? I went back to April OTA and phone hasn't rebooted in weeks where with May OTA it was rebooting every 5 minutes (same apps, etc.).

EDIT: Per some reading on the Google Product Forums dealing with the freezing and other places, it looks like the June OTA does have fixes for the reboots. Gonna test it.

June OTA Reboot problem

I have never had this problem before I received the June OTA update and for the past few days since my Pixel XL on Verizon is freezing and rebooting every couple hours or so. Any fixes? Other than the usual advice of factory reset the phone?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] razvanbalica:
Me too. I have the phone since launch and never had a problem. Since updating to the june update I get these weird hangs when typing and scrolling. I've already done a factory reset and flashed the june factory image. I will switch back to the may version in the next few hours. So much for fast and stable updates.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] IlyaKol:
I'm going back to April OTA by way of flash-all.bat without the data wipe. May and June OTA's have been bad for my phone. Other keep telling me my phone has a hardware issue but the phone runs real great on April OTA so I highly doubt it.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] razvanbalica:
I think these issues are tied to Google Play Services. I switched to various system images. If I freeze Google Play Services and prevent it from updating it works wonderful, no freezes at all.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ithehappy:
This could be it. I mean people are going crazy here about this build works fine, that doesn't. But let me tell you there is some crazy ****e about this phone. The March and April builds work excellently on my previous Pixel, but on the new one the same builds work like ****e, utter ****e. Now this June update so far is running almost flawlessly, but I won't hold breath. So I was thinking the same, that something else gotta be involved for the freezing/lagging issue, and Google Play Services could be it, or something else, or a combination of factors. Whatever it is Google has to keep their **** together.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] IlyaKol:
I wouldn't be surprised. This (Play Services) was mentioned in the Google Product Forums as a possible culprit. I'm done dealing with this, going back to the April OTA and will wait 5-6 months before I mess with this again or until I hear zero complaints about an OTA. I've had enough flashing and reflashing.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] IlyaKol:
So I'm still duking it out with the phone on this issue lol.

I started to get reboots with the April OTA setup as well so I started think that maybe flashing flash-all.bat without a data wipe so many times (April > May > April > June > June > April > etc.) might have screwed something up somewhere so yesterday I backed up all my apps, etc. and completely wiped the phone.

Installed TWRP RC2, Magisk 12.0 and ElementalX 1.12 and phone has been up and running for 12hrs and 45min now without a reboot on the June OTA (most I had before was like 3-4hrs). Will keep an eye on it.

Only issue I'm having now is "CTS Profile Mismatch" with Magisk (which means you have to run in Core Only mode - something caused by Google updating SafetyNet).
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ithehappy:
The freezing issue is back for me on the June patch too now. Nowhere near to the extent of May patch, where it'd freeze like 5-6 times a day, but happening nonetheless, like once or twice a day. God Google has to fix this issue, pathetic.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] IlyaKol:
Was still battling the reboot/Ram Dump on the June OTA every 60-90 minutes or so (started to get slowly more frequent). Said to myself that I'd wait until the July OTA and that if it continued then, then I'd try to get Google to RMA the device.

I attempted to flash-all.bat the July factory image and for some reason was unable to flash Magisk, etc. so then I went back to the June OTA (via flash-all.bat), sideloaded the July OTA via ADB and then was able to install all of the other stuff (Magisk, Elemental, etc.).

So far, in the last 18 hours, zero reboots. None. Not even a hiccup or an ounce of lag.

*crosses fingers*

I am CONVINCED that this is a software issue and NOT a hardware issue. I have 12+ years of experience working in IT (desktop support, systems engineer, systems admin, part-time DBA, etc.) and I feel this has virtually nothing to do with the hardware.

EDIT: I'm at 2 days and 9hrs without a single issue. Looks like the July update might have finally been the one.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Dj_Frost:
Any updates? My device has been freezing for 5 secs and then rebooting for about a month and a half now, I cant take it anymore! :(
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] IlyaKol:
Yep, no issues on July OTA. Can go weeks without reboots unless I manually do it.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Dj_Frost:
Damn, any advice?

I've tried just about everything I can do and/or think of. I just posted over at Google (https://goo.gl/TjshVs) and tweeted them to see if I can get support/warranty.

I'm on the July 5, 2017 patch but this has been going on since 2/3+ patches back. Factory reset, safe mode, charged, plugged in, nothing, it reboots no matter what. It does calm down sometimes (even up to a couple of days) but it seems to act up when it's charged. I say this because Ive had it running fine all day and then connect it at night to sleep and I wake up to find out it has rebooted (who knows how many times). I've also caught it rebooting plugged in like 10 times in a row while using it bedside. :eek:
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] IlyaKol:
Honestly your issue sounds more battery related cause you seem to notice it while charging more often.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Dj_Frost:
Yeah, that's kinda what I thought, Im talking to someone through their twitter account, fingers crossed.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] IlyaKol:
Just wanted to bump this and provide one final update before I unsubscribe from this thread.

On the July OTA (I skipped August and September but will be flashing O shortly), I've had ZERO issues. I was abroad for 4 weeks on my honeymoon and don't remember getting a reboot and haven't gotten one since I got back. If I did get one, it was probably just one reboot. Otherwise, only reboots I get are the ones I initiate lol.

Hopefully phone is still as stable on O lol.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CarteNoir:
I might try jumping back to the july update then, but I've been having this issue on the latest stable O factory images sadly. Be careful!
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] IlyaKol:
So far so good on O. No reboots in the past 20hrs or so.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] emuneee:
I had this issue on my XL 128. I thought it was due to O DP2, but when I flashed back to stock Nougat, the issue returned. It would reboot numerous times a day, sometimes even multiple times an hour. I couldn't take it anymore, so I just RMA'd it and got a refurb Pixel from Google. No issues on the replacement device. I don't know definitively if it was hardware or software related, but I'm happy with the replacement thus far (its been a few months).
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vacaloca:
Toshiba 128GB on my 2nd one. First one RMA'd a few months ago because I thought that an issue with 'Cellular Network not available' on Sprint was due to faulty hardware. Turns out that issue isn't fixed on the replacement, nor with Oreo. Had maybe 3 reboots since installing Oreo first build since Sept 11th. Going to install new Sept build now to see if it gets better or worse to see if RMA is worth it again.

[Galaxy Note5 General] karlonicolas:
Sharing this to all dual sim Note 5 owners -- get dual viber accounts in your phone (or dual Facebook, or other dual app) -- one for each mobile number.

What to do:

1. You must have viber installed/

2. Install Parallel Space from Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lbe.parallel.intl&hl=en

3. Proceed with the installation and select that app that you want to have a second account (in this case viber)

4. Continue with the usual installation, including viber verification.

5. At the end, you will have a second viber account using Parallel.

How do you know which one is the Parallel Account and which one is the original account? Click the Recent Apps button (hardware button left of home key) to display the open apps.

You will always see the second viber account is displayed as a window "Viber(Parallel)"

The original viber account is displayed as "Viber".

Hi. I have a Mi4c . Excellent phone, but with a huge problem : bluetooth quality.

I have installed several ROMs and everywhere the same problem : bluetooth sound quality incredible low in calls, backgroud noises etc etc. Tested on several bluetooth devices , same problem.

What is interesting is that in media connections ( i have a portable sound speaker) the quality is excellent when streaming music. Only on calls is this problem. Talked to my nephiew , he has the same problem with the same device but a different ROM .

How is your experience ???

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] kevin_23:
Good to all, a question, is it legal that samsung can block in future the Imeis of the note 7? I mean, if we have a note 7, it can be used normally with a custom rom for years or not? How is the subject in Europe?

Sorry for my bad english
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] xxxMJTxxx:
Hi

I do not think it is legal for them to block it but they will do it anyway if they want to as they know there will be no court trail against them as they will always explain that it was because of safety percussion and as far I am concern legal government body in each country affected by recall will support them on that statement.

In this days law is re-written without our consent and even if you buy something with your own money and that something is subjected to some sort of services/software/firmware [ which you are not owner ]

that usually mean that they can do with whatever they feel.

I will probably get flagged for that comment

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] emike09:
I think we'd have to get lucky to get much custom ROM support. A (or some) good developers may continue hanging onto their N7 like the rest of us, so we might see continued support. Once the N8 is out, our chances of development support diminish even more. There just aren't enough phones left on the market to justify it, but you never know!

[General Questions and Answers] Menergy:
Is there a way to go past the website's UA checks and always load their desktop versions instead of mobile? Asking because I already set in the preferences of all my phone browsers to always load the full desktop version and still, many websites somehow know I'm using a mobile device and force the mobile version.

Anyone found solution for Dolphin or Boat browsers? I've read about "about:debug" and "about:useragent" showing extra UA menu elements which in my case does nothing (android 6). I was also unable to find an user agent switching app that could always force Desktop parameters to the websites.

Even if there's no immefiate solution, I would like to know the principle websites choose which version to load irrespective to browser settings. Is it network/data/service provider settings, or specific browser/resolution signature? Thanks a lot for any ideas.
[General Questions and Answers] bricex308:
If the problem is website's UA check, often you can choose an AdWay or something similar, on my phone i'm surprised to see as "auto check" some pop up, check and box.

But for what never stop working, that's need update every day...

There isn't much you can do in this case.

Sometimes in some browsers you've an option with whitelist or other but I do believe they can be related to the mobile display or desktop of a particular site.

Maybe there is an add-on xposed or plugin that I don't know
[General Questions and Answers] Menergy:
My problem is that some websites force the mobile version no matter what, as well as lack on services that I need in there, and you couldn't circumvent that in any way.

Yesterday I had to verify an email address and tried with all the browsers I have on my phone (like 5 different). They were all set to display the desktop version and all were forced into the mobile. But on the mobile you couldn't verify the link, probably on purpose (security if on mobile device), and I would not have access to laptop/desktop browser by the evening. The same is with many other features/missing services on forced mobile websites so I want to find a way to have full functionality when on the go.

Does AdWay have options for influencing data the browser notifies to the websites? Anything similar to Mozilla-code based Random Agent Spoofer browser add-on where you can basically force the browser to inject any incorrect data and prevent other data leaking while browsing? Any special cookie mechanisms inherent to mobile browsers only?

Alternatively, can I access browser settings with something like about:config/debug or else? Dolphin, Boat, others? I am sure the browser notifies the correct desktop user agent, there's something else, probably very simple, that tells websites the connection is from a portable device...
[General Questions and Answers] Freewander10:
I use "user agent switcher" for chrome and it always works. It requires root though.

Can you provide an example of a website that refuses to show the desktop version?

And additionally, your build.prop contains your device's information. The browser might be transmitting that information to the website.
[General Questions and Answers] Menergy:
Thank you, the build.prop info was very helpful. I am not rooted yet as I've got my new phone just less than a month ago so still exploring, but can't really find the file, even among the hidden files on the internal memory. I will explore more and see how it goes.

I am in the UK so for example one of the websites that always loads the limited mobile instead of desktop version is the one of my service provider, EE, ee. co. uk (apologies for the intervals, I'm otherwise not allowed to post it). This mobile version is too basic and 60% of what you could do on a desktop version is cut. I've been on Three Mobile and sometimes I could get their full website working, sometimes not. Other websites are let's say bbc. co. uk and other media/news/bank websites that know, no matter browser settings, you are accessing them from a portable device.

Unfortunately I do not trust Google and any of their products so avoid voluntarily and (un)intentionally handing any personal data over to them. I would have used Mozilla for Android if it was close to the functionality Boat and Dolphin browsers provide. I even contacted the Dolphin team having previously assisted them but have got no feedback whatsoever. There must be a way for editing these unusual browser settings, but as pointed out above, I suspect it has something to do will submitting device ID info from within system folders. Thus probably only browser developers could tell us how the problem could be circumvented (and hopefully at least for now, with no root).

Or the developers of addons such as the Random Agent Spoofer or the user agent switchers.
[General Questions and Answers] Freewander10:
The build.prop is a text file which should be located in system/ folder. And you usually can't view the contents of that folder without root, so that's why you haven't been able to find it.

I visited ee.co.uk using chrome, and I was able to switch between the mobile and desktop version of the site without any issues, even without using the UA changing app. All I did was select "request desktop site" from the side menu.

I tried using CM's stock browser though, and just like you experienced, the same website refused to load in desktop mode. I even went as far as changing the UA in its settings menu and even that didn't work.

So all that you wrote in the last two paragraphs have been confirmed.

Right now, it's either chrome or root until the devs fix/properly implement their UA changing feature.
[General Questions and Answers] Menergy:
I was testing other browsers the whole morning here and finally reluctantly tried Firefox. Somehow its Android version never impressed me or was too buggy for me when tested before. Probably because just before going for it I tried Pale Moon and have seen that I can readily edit just about everything via about:config. The Pale Moon's UI settings menu was however completely missing (probably a bug), along with no other controls, so I had to skip it.

So I am glad to report that using Firefox's "Request desktop website" option I finally was able to load desktop versions of websites that were forcing me to always have their mobile one instead. This means that Firefix for now becomes my main browser. As suggested by you, I tried first with Chrome but with no success (using its internal user agent options). There were a few Chrome user agent switchers in the market but although some of them did not explicitly require root, upon starting them they did so I had to uninstall them.

My question yet remains, what exactly tells websites not to load full version, even if browser's user agent reports the correct values. I will leave this to me as I go deeper into this. Glad to have got what I wanted:)

Thanks a lot for all your help.
[General Questions and Answers] Menergy:
Just to add for all having my problem and using Firefox for Android.

By default Firefox will always load the mobile website version and every time you will need to tick "Request desktop site" if you dislike it. As I do, there is an addon called "Desktop by Default" that will always keep the tick on for you. You may instead try creating a new string called "general.useragent.override" adding a desktop OS signature but it won't work (tested by me) for exactly the same websites I had issues with above, so do use the addon instead. It will however work for all other websites that don't have issues with Desktop mode on other browsers.

There is another string that I disabled also called general.useragent.site_specific_overrides.

Tweaking with the Chrome for Android settings seems to require root so Firefox in my case is a God bless. I hope this is helpful to all others with my issue...
