And they no doubt will make it right. Ffs anybody or company if you prefer, can make mistakes, nobodies perfect. But, because verizon is everyones favorite whipping boy any and all oopses are just dogpiled onto. Give just a tiny bit of room for human error, believe me, they undoubtedly will do something else before long to incur everyones anger.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] RLPSZ:
Of course, I understand this is a mistake and human error is normal. But, it can be frustrating for someone after ordering a phone, it taking two months to be delivered with constantly being told different dates and information each time they contact Verizon, being promised a fee being waived by one rep but then being told otherwise by another, and then again being promised it but it not being applied after multiple calls. Then, the same thing occurs with a Daydream View. Then, when the phone finally arrives, it has cellular and battery issues. Then, when a replacement phone is promised, it turns out the be the wrong one. And this is just a summary. I had to speak with Verizon multiple times for different things and the customer service to address these issues was not so great.

To update on this situation, they now tell me I need to wait for this phone to arrive and activate it, in order to return it for a refund and receive the correct replacement without charge. So I still have to wait another couple weeks to enjoy a usable Pixel XL :/
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] wyrdtrtle:
I feel your pain, ordered mine dec 15th, i also kept getting diff shipping dates, was literally on the phone cancelling my order when the shipped e-mail arrived. I didnt have a clue about the vr headset until fedex dropped it off on monday cuz i had not returned their call that previous fri.

I can understand your frustration, and tbh, had forgotten the litany of mishaps you had already gone thru, i just see and read so many gripe fests against them, and most of them are from people that are mad about the locked bootloader and they then blame them for world climate change, dropping birthrates, famine, pestilence and hillary losing. Allbeit, that last one i for one would praise them for, if it were their doing.

Anyhoo, dealing with most any corporation can and often is a PITA, but ill say this, after six years, verizon has not once failed to make it right by me. The wait has rarely been very long, but it has happened.

Hope they fix it for you sooner rather then later.

I got a QB and a VS Pixel XL in February. No problems at all. I live in a rural area and both my wife and I had Samsung GS4 phones before these. I actually get a little better reception I believe.

The only problem I've run into is Trusted Voice doing its auto-disable thing, but I applied the workaround and haven't had any problems since.

My battery life is really good. I play Pokemon Go with my kids and use my phone as a hot-spot, and I can still get through a full day. Though, if I'm around a charger when the phone hits 50% I just charge it anyway.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] RLPSZ:
That's good to hear! It means I just received a faulty device and the replacement should work fine. I was worried that the new batch may have all come out like this since perhaps Google rushed their production by reducing time for quality checks or something like that.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] RLPSZ:
I still haven't received a replacement :/ Verizon keeps sending a regular Pixel by accident.

Anyways, from the many conversations I've had with them, they eventually admitted that the February XL's have had multiple reports of issues with activation, like mine did.

Did anyone else have activation and cellular issues? If so, how are your phones doing now?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] polar2792:
Got mine March 5th no issues here so perhaps it's been solved.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mkilla:
I received my XL yesterday, I was pretty concerned about the quality of product I'd be receiving since they are so far behind on orders/production.

So far it's been good, the activation was a little squirrelly but eventually it got activated. I have noticed some instances where my coverage isn't as good as my S6E and I've had one instance where a person couldn't hear me when carrying on a voice conversation.

I've read some posts about others with mic issues, I hope I'm not one of them. Other then that it's been very good so far, very fast smooth phone...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] irule311:
Actually yes, I have had some problems. I am running rooted stock though so I'm not sure how much of an impact it may have made. My wifi seems to randomly disconnect for a few seconds and come back up again. Also I have had cellular connection issues with the signal completely dropping out and coming back after some time. I wasn't sure if this was a problem with the phone or not since I was traveling at the time. I also wasn't able to take the sim card out at the time to try to refresh it since I didn't have the tool. Though now that I am back home, I haven't had the cellular problems but I still have the wifi issues. My battery has also been short (around 4-5 hours) when I have been reading people with crazy battery life. Though my 6P always lasted around 3-4 hours so thats an improvement I guess.

I'm afraid to get a replacement since I really don't want a refurbished device for something that I got new.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] wyrdtrtle:
The odds are pretty good that with the supply chain issues you wouldn't get a refurbished one of these, but I don't know that for a fact.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] enviouz:
I also think this seems odd. Maybe it depends on how long you has the phone. I talked to Verizon tech support on last Sunday and they overnight me a new phone and I had it the next day. My original was only 48hrs old though. I'm not sure if that would have anything to do with it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Dark Jedi:
Got my XL in February and had a problem activating it. The girl at the corporate store had to get a new sim card and everything went smoothly. Great connection and battery life. I know in the past if you had connection issues you go to a corporate store and get a new sim card. They have had bad batches of Sims in the past.

I finally got PN on my PixelXL and just looked at storage and it says the system uses 19.9 GB and I'm wondering if I can clean the alternate slot to free up this space
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jblack41510:

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] M9guy:
You need to flash a factory image which will wipe all data as I had the same issue I believe its the only fix as you need a full wipe to fix and if your going to full wipe your better off to just flash a full factory image and be 100% factory fresh.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] toknitup420:
I had the same issue. This ^^^ was the only fix.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cam30era:
Did you try > fastboot format userdata
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] toknitup420:
Formatting didn't work for me. I needed fresh system image too
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Yamalito:
What I did was flash the new Google image then I locked the boot loader then unlocked it again. When I booted up, my storage was back to normal. After that I flashed the custom ROM. This has happened to me often.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jjayzx:
If you are on Verizon, DO NOT LOCK BOOTLOADER! Just a friendly reminder.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] tiny4579:
That's a silly way of wiping data. Factory reset from os or fastboot erase userdata will accomplish the same thing.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] M9guy:
If someone is going to format user data they might as well flash the newest factory image. It just makes sense its also preventative maintenance and can keep your phone running at top performance.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] toknitup420:
Flashing the image is fine. Locking and unlocking the bootloader is unnecessary and should not be done if you're just trying to format. Locking th bootloader while playing around with a messed up system is the perfect storm for a bricked device.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] M9guy:
Oh definitely, I never would recommend to relock the bootloader that would be just asking for trouble. I replied to the guy saying to just wipe user data, which if your going to do that it just makes sense to flash the newest factory image and make good use of wiping user data and get back to factory fresh in the process that is just a no brainer.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Yamalito:
I agree that locking and unlocking bootloader is silly, it can cause trouble, I'm aware of that, however that was the ONLY thing that worked for me in this case. I tried everything and the storage was still at 19 GB. I'm sorry if the method that worked for me is silly and unorthodox but for me that is all that worked. It's happened to me three times.
[YotaPhone] cy89:
Hi yota, I have a white version that is acting strange, I don't know if you can help me. Tried the latest RU and the latest EU but I don't think it comes down to that. It seems to be a root issue because during boot the color display doesn't come on. It seems random, but after rebooting 5 or 6 times, maybe more, after just holding the power button continuously it will eventually boot on the front. This made setup difficult too because it would ask to turn the phone over but nothing would happen. Eventually got through it with luck but it's a recurring issue and I would like a permanent solution...

I'm on EU1.124b while RU is up to 1.99 is this just actually reflecting anything or are they technically the same? Neither help the fix, I was just wondering if both have I'm OTA updates

Thank you for the help.

Secure Folder APK modifies your Knox

I got a warning message also when i installed the APK file. Not exactly the same. Have you tried checking updates? It will prevent you from dowloading OTA updates. I got rid of it completely by resetting to factory.

Same problem - Official nougat rom flagged as 'Unauthorised'

I installed the offical nougat rom (UK BTU) on my unlocked, never rooted Galaxy S7 SM-930F using Odin as per instructions on Sammobile site. Generally the firmware works fine and I was very pleased to have it before the OTA roll out in the UK.

UNFORTUNATELY I have been unable to set up either the 'My Knox' app (Play store) or the APK of the 'Secure Folder' app (Sammobile site). In both cases I get a pop up stating "......cannot be set up because unauthorised software was installed on the device".

I used the "Knox Status" app (Play store) to see if the Knox Counter had been triggered. No problem there (Status 0x0, "warranty is valid"). Also note that I still get OTA security updates on schedule so no problems with the firmware being rejected there either. Can anyone help or advise me? The only thing I can think to do is to use Sammobile to downgrade to Marshmallow and wait for the Nougat OTA update?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Midgeslayer:

Magisk

Thank you for bringing this to us

And specifically thank you for trying to include Magisk in the ROM.

However , I just wanted to report than like seemingly all of the other non Samsung based ROMs -- Magisk is functional; however when you enable Magisk Hide SafetyNet will still not pass. And further if you specifically try to enable SystemUI under Magisk Hide then the system becomes unstable and upon reboot there is a boot loop.

I already checked in the Magisk support thread and they said that it would be something the ROM developer would have to solve. If I can help please let me know.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] rafik25:
hello is it an enforcing or permissive kernel plz ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] schwabe93:
Can you point me out to this posts?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jcrompton:
No it was a discussion in hangouts with one of the developers .... I was pointing out that Magisk send to work in the CM and non Samsung based ROMs on the S7 Edge

But in everyone of them Magisk Hide is not working to allow for SafetyNet to pass and further in everyone of them when checking MAGISK HIDE for SystemUI the device becomes unstable

Hee kindly pointed out that the problem is obviously on the ROM or coding side since it happens with all of them.

Why were you asking for the posts? Do you have it working on your device?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Reuben_skelz92:
Looks cool. But i.am wondering why so many aosp roms? Just thinking there all based or some on lineage with the same bugs. So in essence we've got all the same bugs just with a different name
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jcrompton:
Yes no doubt

And I'm confused in that they are calling even the for sure Lineage based ROMs "AOSP". This is confusing because in times gone by there were three different paths .... Stock, AOSP and CM (now Lineage). I guess in the strict sense Lineage or CM is based on "open source" but I've never seen anybody call it AOSP before this device
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] Reuben_skelz92:
Yeah I know what you mean. Be better if if all th3 devs stuck to one base rom and improved it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos) ROMs, Kernels, Rec] jcrompton:
I was hoping that this info would help you (or help you to guide me in helping you)

I found that with another non Samsung ROM (Res Remix) I was, in fact, able to uninstall Magisk completely and then SafetyNet passes.

Have you had any luck with getting SafetyNet to pass with any combination? If you are running this ROM currently could you please go to TWRP and uninstalled Magisk with the Magisk unistaller and then see if you can get SafetyNet to pass ....... maybe that will help

I reached out to the thread this time and here is what they are saying

Under Energy Tab you can undervolt each value with 50mV. If your device became unstable you have to increase a bit.
