[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ziggy3055:
My last like 4 or 5 devices have been larger phones (note 4, iPhone pluses, Nexus 6) so it is a bit to get used to going to a smaller form factor. But I don't regret it. Like others have said I'd have to wait a while for the XL and I kinda wanted to try a smaller phone again. It has a 1920x1080 screen so that was the important thing for me.

So, still adjusting to it, but no regrets.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mrpickem:
Honestly love feel and performance of Pixel. I came from several Note's including the 7 and most recent an S7E. I prefer larger phones and I actually have an XL 128 on order since Dec 7. Likely will sell the regular Pixel when I get the XL, but honestly it impressed the heck out of me. Almost perfect size/feel in hand, talks great and screen looks awesome. Only complaint for me is the keyboard is a bit smallish for me and sometimes I hit wrong buttons. That and the actual look of two-tone back and large chin bezel are not that ascetically pleasing to me.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] farfromovin:
Another size convert here. I've had 5.5"+ devices for the last few years. I really enjoy a smaller form factor but am still getting used to the smaller keyboard. The only 1080p display is great, battery is fine too. I'm very content with the normal Pixel and have no regrets.

My last three phones were s6 edge+, s7 edge, axon7. I loved the s7e and a7. That being said no regrets and I've found I've enjoyed the speed and fluidity of this phone.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fix-this!:
I wanted the xl but they were backordered. Now that pure nexus ROM is here I'm happy. I switch phones a lot so my plan is to pay the pixel off and buy the g6 this spring.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] jesssiii:
Came from a 6P, before that LG G4, the HTC One 9, all big phones. The last phone I've had this size was the LG G2. I was getting tired of the weight and awkwardness, not fitting smaller pockets and clumsy in the hands, despite having large ones.

Like most others here, I don't regret it, though I thought I might. I find I have to use my glasses just the same amount in the same circumstances as the 6P. So in websites mostly. But I use my phones to read books, and in Moonreader Pro and Kindle, I'm able to read without glasses just as comfortably as on my 6P. So I was thinking my big screens were helping me, but surprisingly, they really weren't (as much as I thought, anyway). Rather have the more comfortable size in that case.

As far as the Pixel line itself, it's the best device I've owned thus far! Not necessarily the hardware, but the whole Pixel experience.

I'm usually into rooting and modding, but this phone I haven't even unlocked the bootloader. I did unlock developer in settings and flip the switch to allow unlocking, for my safety. The only phone I ever hard bricked was the G4, and it was from a botched OTA, so I definitely want the ability to flash stock images if needed.

The screen quality seems good to me, but the only poor ones I've had are iPhones, so I'm not really picky on that.

Hope this helps.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Thanks everyone! I ended up getting the Pixel. Waiting until March is just insane. So far, it's taking some adjustment but I'm not regretting it yet. I love how it fits in my hand, it's just the little things like not reaching far for the fingerprint scanner (like on larger phones with rear scanners) and smaller text. It's a little harder to type too, but I'll adjust. Overall, amazed with the phone! Thanks so much for giving me confidence in my purchase! :)
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] 32BitWhore:
My only regret about not getting the XL is Daydream looks pretty bad, but that's not a huge issue considering it's nothing more than a toy I use occasionally at this point. Size in hand is great, battery is great performance is great, display quality (other than Daydream) is great. Don't wait until March just to get the XL IMO.

Edit: whoops you beat me to posting :P glad you got the Pixel.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You can change the text size. Affects the status bar text too, or maybe that was the display size adjustment. Since I was using my HTC 10 until the PureNexus ROM came out on the Pixel, I have limited experience with stock, so I know the options are available on PureNexus but I believe they were available on stock too.

FWIW, I only got the Pixel 32 GB to play with, and because Best Buy had them for $240 outright (either via payments or pay it off right after) versus Verizon's deal at the time where you paid full monthly payments and they gradually credited you back the difference. I had already ordered two HTC 10s for my wife and I the day before I was made aware of Best Buy's deal. I have a 128 GB MicroSD card with a ton of music in the 10, so we'll see how using the Pixel 32 GB as my daily driver works out. I don't have unlimited data.

Now that PureNexus is out, I've regained interest in someday acquiring a 128 GB XL. The 10 is "big enough" at 5.2" I believe but my LG G3 was 5.5" display and I thought that was perfect, although wouldn't want anything bigger than that. I'm not willing to spend $1100 on Swappa to get one, though, nor even $800-$900 retail. There's no way that's worth it to me.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] nazrin313:
Bought the pixel only because the XL 128gb was not available and I needed a 128gb phone. However, a month using the pixel now and I dont have any regrets, its actually nice being able to use a phone 1 handed as I came from 5.5inch phones previously.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] tfly212:
Came from the 6p...took a little getting used to a slightly smaller keyboard but no regrets.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] chazall1:
Been using Nexus for a few years now. I purchased the HTC 10 and used it for a couple of months and really enjoyed the size of this device. I knew that HTC was going to be makng the next Nexus, (Pixel) so I was testing HTC. My Last Nexus was the N5 that I have used for the past 3 years. I purchased the Pixel and the size was very similar to my N5. I just needed a bigger screen. Sold my Pixel on swappa and Purchased and am currently on my XL and I have no regrets. My Wife who will not listen to me about getting away from contracts and using Straight Talk. I have been using straight talk for years and I have had no issues.

Verizon never updated the phone to Android 6.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] xiaomishmiaomi:
When they were first announced my intention was to get the XL but I did go back and forth before I eventually pulled the trigger on it. The improved screen and battery life are cool but I thought 5.5" may be oversized even coming from a 5.2" 5X. I love VR though and as I get increasingly obsessed the improved per-eye density from the XL will be a nice bonus. They're the best two phones on the market but I'm confident I chose the one that more closely suits my needs.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Soccerdude588:
1) I only really handled the XL a couple times in stores, and as well as the iphone 7 plus (similar screen size to pixel XL). I thought they felt not terribly bulky, but I didn't want to have to stretch at all just to hold my phone. My biggest qualm was coming from Moto X (2nd gen) which has a slightly larger screen size, it was a bit annoying how much bezel was on the pixel in general. I thought I might dislike having a smaller screen; but it hasn't been terribly noticeable.

2) No qualms with screen quality, just wish it had a larger screen size (without the larger phone)... I just really wish google hadn't tried to mimic one of the worst things about iPhones with that bezel, that pointless bezel.

3) Can't really speak much about this, beyond my experience with the Moto X, which by today's standards isn't a large phone.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] user23785:
(1) No.

(2) I never understood this high resolution hype for phones. My previous phone also has a 5.0" screen and is "only" 720x1280, but I had absolutely no problems with it. Yes, I could see separate pixel on that old phone's screen when I specifically looked for them, but if I didn't, the screen looked just fine. :)

(3) I didn't, I'm not a fan of phablets.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bigdave79:
I came from a Nexus 6P and a Oneplus One before that. I had definitely gotten used to the larger display. Much easier to type on and view from a distance. Some of the fonts on the Pixel just look ever so slightly fuzzy around the edges compared to the 6P's 2K display. I definitely regret my purchase and wish I'd got the bigger screen. My Pixel screen also has uniformity issues (darker tint on the right half of the screen) so I am in the process of returning it and buying the larger Pixel XL. Project Fi has the 32 Gb variants in stock and with the unlimited full-res Google photos storage I doubt I'd need much more than that.

Having said that, it's definitely not worth an extra $120 just for a larger higher res display and slightly bigger battery. Especially if you compare other small/large versions of other phones such as the iPhone 7/7+ and Nexus 6P/5X (similar price differences but much more for the money). I'm just hoping I'll be able to recoup some of that cost differential when I go to sell the phone.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mymusicathome:
Nope. Tried a big phone with the Nexus 6 and hated it. Phablets are not for me.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] :
Yes I would have rather have a XL but the two plus month wait killed that thought quick. I came from Samsung Notes, S7 Edge and a Iphone 7 Plus and surprisingly I'm used to the smaller size so it's not a big deal anymore. I definitely appreciate the smaller pocket size. This phone is a keeper for me.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] grantsd25:
Just picked up the pixel coming from the Verizon s7e...I love Roms and modding as a means to keep me away from other bad habits and Verizon's s7e was so limited. Sounds stupid as hell but messing around with the Android system keeps me from the booze lol

I love the bigger screens of the notes but they do get a bit bulky when you have to use the heavy duty cases and tend to get in the way if you have a job that involves some physical labor...I'm pretty satisfied so far but it is only day one so I guess time will tell

Slightly annoyed with no physical home button though
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] GeekMcLeod:
Came from the Nexus 6 to the smaller pixel and love it. I do love large screens but it has been a nice change having a smaller phone. My only regret is not getting 128gb
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] fix-this!:
yes i regret not getting the xl just for the battery life. i still cant get my hands on one. i cant get it through verizon either because they are on backorder and bootloader will be locked up. i love my pixel but the battery life is pretty bad for a heavy user like myself. i may be picking up a v20 since the g6 "v20 clone" wont be out for over a month and im not feeling it.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
I had a V20 before this phone. Not sure what you prioritize in a phone but I am MUCH happier with this phone than I was with the V20. Battery life is significantly better on the Pixel. I consider myself a power user, FYI. What phone do you think will exceed 5-6 hours of screen time? I averaged about 4 with the V20. I'm regularly between 5 and 6 with this phone.
[Android Apps and Games] Räiden04:
I'm not sure at all where to put this, so sorry if this isn't the correct area.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chevycam94:
OK, as of yet, I can not get ANY version of TWRP based on 3.0.3-x to flash a ROM zip and have ANY of the extra zips (supersu and busybox) to install during the main ROM install, like it did on 3.0.2-3 and prior.

Ive tried flashing recovery several times, from 3 different developers, flashing through TWRP img selection as well as through fastboot, including the official TWRP build. Am I missing something?

The ROM flashes fine, but the included SuperSU and Busybox installer zips never even get recognized. But on previous versions of TWRP it works perfectly, and those two extra zips are installed as they should be.

Also, just saw @The Flash updated his TWRP build, still on 3.0.3-0. Not sure what changed, but even that version still has the same problem.

So basically, I'm stuck on 3.0.2-3 by vt0r.

UPDATE:

OK, so I FINALLY got the official 3.0.3-0 to recognize and flash the included extra zips. Had to flash THREE TIMES in fastboot (one flash right after the next), reboot directly back into bootloader, than reboot into recovery. So freaking weird. BUT, I still cant get ANY N4F26J ROM to boot. Not one. Not mine, not anyone elses. My radio, bootloader, and vendor are all the right ones. I dont get it......What happened!?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Maabad:
Hello, I'm current going to school for CNST (computer network support technician) and I couldn't help but notice how cool Linux can be, I'm very new to it all yes- but I'm looking forward to starting this project as a form of furthering my personal education because I'd like to specialize in network security later down the line.

There's a TV show called Mr. Robot and I saw him use a Nexus 5 to make this "Pwn Phone" however I also found an article in XDA dating back to 2014 about making such a device using what's called NetHunter (Kali). But the Nexus 5 is pretty expensive anywhere I look for something new. Yes- I can buy it used but I don't trust it enough- I'd like for it to be a fresh new phone where the battery hasn't been drained & filled, the ports exposed to dust, screen to scratches, dents, etc. In other words- I'd like a device that I know from that moment on anything that will happen to it will be by my own doing.

That being said, I've been looking for phones in the 200'ish price range, it'll go with a MicroSDcard + USB OTG & Wifi dongle so I would like to not surpass the $320 budget I've allotted for this project.

The Honor 5x fits the bill in specs, price, etc for me, however- the great question is, is is compatible? Will I be able to flash Kali Linux onto it as one would with a Nexus 5 or OnePlus One?

Try to update it with a custom ROM
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aki07:
Hey I really appreciate any help that you can provide. I will tell the long story. My phone got corrupted while flashing different custom ROMs. Oxygen was the culprit. It completely damaged all the partition of my phone. So I repaired via 9008 modem loader using COLOR OS flash tool. then I found there is no baseband and IMEI. EFS partition damaged and I didnt have a backup. Damn it!!!!! Tons of research and googling I found how to use QPST tool by Qualcomm. I retrieved QCN file from friends ONEPLUS ONE (16gigs) and flashed it to my phone (64gigs) and edited the IMEI to my one. Rebooted the phone. tada. I got wifi bluetooth everything running. Phone signal just connects and drops every sec. It wont stay connected. but it is detected. then I thought it might modem issue. I tried every single modem out there but no luck. Finally flashed CM11s 44S Modem. Kaboom. Got the network running. but sadly it will only connect to 3g. I cant connect to 4g. No Other modem works.

1. Only get 3g service via 44s modem on any vanilla rom.

2. No other modem works.

3. Proximity sensor acts really weird. If a call comes Then I have to restart my phone to get the screen lit back. Fixed by flashing proximity fix

4. Baseband is always unknown with 44s Modem but has 3g network connectivity.

5. Other modem shows baseband but no connection even though it is detected.

Please help me guys.. What am I missing. any help appreciated.

re

1- Check If you have IMEI and IMEI sv and it's the IMEI that shows on box.

2- if no. 1 is true then check another sim card another operator ( to be sure that carrier is not blocking your IMEI for some reason).

3- if other operator's sim worked contact your carrier to check problem with them.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aki07:
Hey thanks for the reply. I do have my IMEI from the box. I flashed QCN file using QPST tool and applied my IMEI but the thing is I only get 3g. 4G is not detected. Im not sure if something has to do with baseband files. But my friend is from my place and he gets 4g just not me. If I use any other modem other than 44s Modem the network will be detected but won't connect so i cant make or receive calls or anything related to service provide.. Do you know what to do ? :(

Okay let's make some tweaks :

1- backup modemst1 and modemst2 using dd (I don't trust qcn backup :D) and copy them to your computer I also prefer to backup persist and fsg

3- flash only persist using fastboot and reboot to system and check everything again.

other partitions locations :

/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (fsg)

/dev/block/mmcblk0p15 (persist)

Right now i believe most users and media have been attracted by CES in Las Vegas, 2017, because i am also a fan of CES, and fond of unknown electronics. Yesterday, i have read some tech sites to know Chuwi will attend CES to release and show Chuwi HI13, which is the new year flagship, better and powerful than Chuwi HI12, but previously, i have guess this new tablet pc should call Chuwi HI14 according to their naming practice. It proves I was wrong. You can check this thread that i created before about Chuwi new tablet, i am also doubtful it should be Chuwi Lapbook 14.1 Notebook, so i changed the title from Chuwi HI14 to Chuwi Lapbook 14.1. Please forgive me for my wrong judge. Anyway, i have seen the Chuwi HI13 real photos before and know the main specs you may be interested. Check details as follow.

Here are some detailed specs:

1. 13.5 inch 3000 x 2000 resolution 3:2 ratio screen.

2. Intel Apollo Lake Celeron N3450 CPU + Gen9 Graphics 500 GPU.

3. Windows 10 Home operating system.

4. 4 GB DDR3L RAM + 64 GB eMMC ROM.

5. Detachable keyboard + Stylus pen support.

6. 2.4Ghz/5Ghz Dual band Wi-Fi + Type-C Port.

But my point is that in terms of design, it looks like Surface Book so much, do you detect that?

So i think Chuwi HI13 can replace Surface book in the design and price, how about you? I like to choose competitive and affordable electronics. :p
