Is there any tweak to wake device with fingerprint?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] scrubjay55:
Well, that's what fingerprint sensor does already.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yogendra Kher:
I am talking abt just wake not unlock.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] @VelcronSpecter:
Wow....hard to get this feature working.Even Xiaomi is not capable of getting this feature working.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yogendra Kher:
But it's available in miui official roms.

When you touch in fingerprint sensor screen will wake.

And this feature i want in unofficial roms.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] preyan:
No, this feature is not available. In miui official roms the device wakes up (and unlocks) only if a registered fingerprint is recognised.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Becak_Salto:
yes in miui official rom we can wake up the phone just pressing the fingerprint(without unlocking/scanning fingerprint process) everyone know this :D:D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] preyan:
haven't seen this feature in my kenzo, maybe bcz i always used fingerprint
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Becak_Salto:
its ok u can try it later when u r on miui rom
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nihal @A-JAX:
You can do that with fingerprint security disabled and replacing SLEEP command with WAKEUP or POWER.

Try at your own risk! Although I have not tested this personally with FP security disabled, it works with a snappy tap on the sensor before it scans my finger when FP security is enabled.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] akash_16:
Thanks man, works great !!!!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Becak_Salto:
Gonna try it later
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bloodytolits:
Remove system/usr/idc/uinput-fpc.idc

Only remove the bolded one. The other are just the location. Cut it and place it on your sd card or somewhere as backup then reboot.

Nice guide ! but i think its better to stay with camera because the angle while taking selfie will be better when we use fp as capture button. To sleep device there are lots of methods that custom roms are offering like double tap on status bar to sleep etc.

Will it work also in MM LN13 rom ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mattd860:
This may be premature since the phones haven't shipped yet but when I go to order the phone on Google's website they give an option for a Verizon version with a sim card or an unlocked version. If both phones are the same except one has a locked bootloader then why bother to do this? Why not let Verizon sell their own variant with a locked bootloader? Are there any disadvantages or missing features when using the unlocked version on Verizon???

If both phones were the same and acted the same when on Verizon then I'd be royally pissed if I bought the Verizon pixel from Google's site only to find it had a locked bootloader. I'll bet that a lot of people will buy the Verizon version from the Google store thinking that the bootloader can still be unlocked because they bought it from Google and not at the Verizon store. I'm surprised more people aren't discussing this and warning others. In the past if you bought a gen. 1 pixel from the Google store it was guaranteed to be unlockable but now it doesn't seem to be the case and Verizon probably convinced Google to con purchasers into doing this since they get such a hard-on about locking bootloaders.

Now if the unlocked version doesn't work the same on the Verizon network (I.e. Volte does not work or signal strength isn't as good then I don't feel too bad about Google selling both variants directly from their store.

Thoughts??
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] scottjal:
I don't believe the Gen 1 Verizon pixel was ever intended to have an unlockable bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mattd860:
No it wasn't but there was no way to purchase a Verizon Gen 1 pixel from Google like there is for the Gen 2. If you wanted an unlocked bootloader you just bought the only pixel offered on the Google store. Now there is two options from the same store. I'm just worried that people will get the Verizon version from the Google store (not Verizon store) thinking that it's unlocked because they bought it from Google, not Verizon.

Do both phones (Verizon and unlocked versions) operate on the same bands with same features when activated on Verizon network?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] imnuts:
The option for the version states that a SIM is included. My only guess is that they toss a SIM card in the box for you if you select Verizon.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] shark1987:
I was wondering the same thing, I plan on activating on Verizon when I receive my unlocked XL 2. But decided to buy the unlocked version just in case there was something stupid like a locked down bootloader or something weird.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sabbotage:
I ordered mine so fast I'm worried I selected the Verizon version by accident. In order status it shows nothing about whether you ordered the unlocked or the Verizon version. Can someone that ordered a Verizon version check and see if their order status says Verizon or anything? Mine just says Pixel 2 XL (128 GB, Just Black). No mention of unlocked or Verizon anywhere.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Gilley:
Go in and reorder it, I switched from a Panda Verizon XL 2 128gb that was gonna get delivered Nov7-9th to just black 128gb xl 2 unlocked which said Oct 25th. The shipping dates havent really changed much.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] michaelbsheldon:
Same for me: no mention of Unlocked or Verizon on order acknowledgment...

If you are unsure, the advice to cancel and reorder is good, just with penalty of

later shipping.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] DaMadOne:
I ordered mine while *slightly inebriated" last night. This morning I simply canceled my order and reordered it while 100% sober so that I knew 100% that I ordered an unlocked version and not the Verizon model. The order history didn't state unlocked or Verizon so I just wasn't sure... You can't be too sure of these types of things lol =)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] greencat2:
Thanks for the post. I made the mistake of ordering the Verizon version. It does say this in the description on the order confirmation. Reordered and delivery date was reduced to October 27 from Nov 20.

(64 GB, Just Black, Verizon SIM-enabled
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Redrockzz:
It would be the first time for me to order a google (pixel) phone.

Im am from Germany, will the pixel from "Deutsche Telekom" (T-Mobile) be different than the one straight from the google store? :/

@EDIT: Asked the Support from Telekom Deutschland and tehy told me, that there isnt a difference between the Telekom Device and the Google Store Device in relation to Bootloader, updates or bloatware. :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mattd860:
Can anyone verify if the unlocked version works the same as the Verizon version when on the Verizon network? Does volte and vvm work the same? Does the unlocked version have access to the same cell towers and lte bands? Or does Verizon cripple some features on the unlocked variant?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sabbotage:
On the old Pixel XL it worked the same on either model. I had an unlocked Pixel XL and a Verizon Pixel and they both worked the same with features. VoLTE and VVM both worked fine. The only difference was the unlocked model showed as "other" Pixel device with a generic picture in my Verizon account and the Verizon pixel showed as "Verizon Pixel" with an actual picture of the phone.

---------- Post added at 08:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 AM ----------

Thanks for confirming. I think I'm ok then since it looks like the Verizon version actually states it in the order status.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] raidflex:
Would this also apply if you order the Pixel 2 XL from Verizon directly?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mattd860:
This is happening exactly as I predicted. People are being duped into buying the Verizon pixel 2 from the Google store thinking that the bootloader can be unlocked because they purchased from the Google store instead of the Verizon store.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] raidflex:
I can get the Verizon version directly from them through my work for $350, that is why I was wondering.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rester555:
Can someone who ordered the Verizon Pixel show a snippet of the confirmation page?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mngdew:
If VZW version is the same as the unlocked one, and Google is simply throwing in the SIM card, insert the VZW SIM card after turn on the phone and unlock the bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] nomifm:
Google Customer service confirmed to me on the phone that bootloader for Verizon version is locked but should get OS and security patch updates directly from Google if bought from Google Store. He wasn't sure about OS updates if phone is bought from Verizon.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] raidflex:
Well last year was the Pixel different when ordering directly from Verizon with updates?

The boot loader unlocked really is not necessary in my case because I would be happy just to be on stock Android with regular updates.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] quakeaz:
Can you post a screenshot of the original Verizon SIM included phone's confirmation email?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] greencat2:
Here is the screenshot

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------

There are some Verizon apps on the original Pixel plus the resell value of the non Verizon is more.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stinger4321:
There is a chat from google saying that the verizon version has permanently locked bootloader.. just fyi.. if you buy verizon version no unlocking for you
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] synplex:
Google Rep just confirmed that it comes Locked with or without the Verizon Sim. It also includes Verizon Apps. :mad:

Guess I'm glad I ordered the Unlocked Just Black, i'll just cancel my Black and White "Panda" Verizon order :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mike02z:
I ordered the carrier unlocked version from Google. I'm trading in another phone so I'll use one of my already activated SIM.

For 18.75 per month I got an unlocked phone that likely we will be able to unlock the bootloader easily. Buying the VZ version is a risk. Jcase and Beaups my find an exploit but that assumes they even get the devices. If you buy the VZ version, I'd assume you won't get bootloader unlock. Just my opinion.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] brazcub:
Both versions are carrier unlocked. The only difference is that the one you ordered comes with a Verizon SIM and Verizon pre loaded apps that can be deleted. All updates are received from Google and phone is unlocked. I ordered the same one and emailed Google store about it and here's their response
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stinger4321:
You didnt ask about bootloader.. if you did they would tell you that the verizon version is permanently locked.. like the original xl
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] brazcub:
Well I don't care about that. I personally don't have a need to unlock the bootloader just like I've had the original Pixel for a year and never unlocked it. I also use Android pay on a daily basis.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stinger4321:
There are other ways of getting android pay to work with unlocked bootloader.. also unlocking allows flashing of factory images which could help recover from a soft brick. Personally I cant live without titanium backup and adaway. Also a rom with immersive mode... Prevents burnin of oled. Oh and a lower resell value with the verizon variant... Unless you do a trade in for next years pixel 3.?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] shazzmoe:
google support confirmed with me that the bootloader is the same on the verizon and the unlocked version. The verizon version doesn't even come with extra apps. Both versions sold from the google store are unlocked. The only difference is that the Verizon version comes with a Verizon sim card

---------- Post added at 04:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 AM ----------

after reading some of the more recent posts from you all it sounds like the google reps are giving us different information :(

I wish I had screenshotted my conversation as well
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] brazcub:
Google support is definitely giving us different answers. They told me it will come with Verizon apps. I hate Verizon and their bloatware and boot screen. The only reason I'm on Verizon is because it's the only network with coverage where I live.

Anyway, I cancelled my order and ordered the unlocked version and I'll just stick my Pixel's SIM card in it. Problem solved.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] raidflex:
The Verizon apps I would imagine can be removed . On the Pixel 1 you could uninstall them apparently. But personally to be safe I would get the unlocked version. Only reason I went through Verizon is because I was able to get the XL for $350 with a discount from my work.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Getting AP to work is iffy at best. One day it works and another day it doesn't. If you use it on a daily basis as do I and the previous poster unlocking the bl is not the best way to go. Being able to flash a factory image would be the only reason for me to "be able to" unlock the bl but in the year I've had this Pixel I have seen no need. I can sideload an OTA which is all I would do anyway.

As for titanium backup the only reason for that is if you are flashing roms and wiping system. Without root and bl unlocked there is no reason for titanium. I guess you can freeze an app too but it's not something I'd give up AP for or the security of having a locked bl and no root. There are alternatives to adaway too. Resale value being lower for VZW variant.. sorry I don't buy that argument at all. 99.9% of people using the device don't get a crap about bl unlock or root. and 99% probably don't even know what we're talking about.

But the best reason to buy a VZW Pixel 2 or XL is to get the Black Friday deal, that is if you have an account with them. Last year it was $15 / month x 24 for the XL and $10 / month x 24 for the Pixel. I'll give up an unlock bl for that. Google never offered a deal on BF.

One last thing about bootloaders that is going on in this thread. Google and VZW reps don't know what we're talking about either. Of course the bootloaders are the same. BL versions have nothing at all to do with being able to toggle the oem unlock switch. Same bl but on verizon you can't toggle and on the Google one you can. Time is being wasted talking to reps about that. If you can talk to an engineer who puts the IMEI into the database then you have something to hang your hat on. If, of course, that's the reason.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wooddale:
There both the same if your on Verizon they have a problem recognizing phones in there system so if you don't have a sim already it you have to go through them and pay them there $35 or whatever to get it. All about money that's just how they are. Verizon are control freaks they want it there way not your way.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Treshy:
my guess would be that one is just the unlocked phone and the other one isnthe unlocked phone with a free verizon sim card. I highly doubt google would sell locked devices from the google store.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] quakeaz:
This is what I was told by Google support...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mike02z:
I'd bet the Verizon ordered XL 2's will have their bootloader locked and will not be able to be unlocked easily, if at all. Some us were told the same BS from Google last year about the Pixel XL. Buy the Google version not the ZVW if you want to unlock the bootloader.

Perhaps VZW has given up on locking down bootloader unlock but with the way they have acted makes me doubt it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] raidflex:
Idk I just see so few reasons to even unlock the BL anyways. We will still get updates from Google and with stock Android I see little reason to use a custom ROM.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Just because we can is why we do it :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] keving75:
I had a chat w/ Google today and they confirmed that the VZW will have a locked BL and the unlocked version will not. That is the difference, along with some bloat I am sure.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] raidflex:
I see some people had success unlocking this way. I wonder if this will work for the Pixel 2.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Lawlrus:
I doubt developers are going to spend time and resources on trying to find away around the vzw locked BL. There's no reason to when they have an unlocked version.

Anyone that purchases the vzw branded version from the google store is asking for issues. Vzw patched the ability to unlock the BL on the of pixel, they don't want it to happen. Get an unlocked version, and toss your vzw sim in it. Problem solved
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] shasselbach:
HD Calling

I believe in the pixel if not bought from VZW, there were a few features like HD Calling that would not work on the Google bought version. I would imagine that might be the same case with the XL 2.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] JeffBea:
I have the unlocked 6p and the Verizon HD calls work fine. Maybe this is something new that Verizon is doing to piss people off that don't buy the phone's from them? I wouldn't put it past them.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mac796:
I have two regular Google pixels and I got HD calling on both of them with Verizon no problem
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] davidstjohn1:
I talk to a representative today at Verizon I was told that all Verizon phones that are ordered at Verizon will come from Google with a Verizon sim card in the box that means it's going to be a completely 100% straight Google phone with a Verizon sim card I was also told there would be no bloatware at all on the phone. I'm not 100% sure this is true but I was told this from two Representatives at Verizon today.

---------- Post added at 07:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------

Is there a way to order from Google and make monthly payments for the unlocked version?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mike02z:
Come on. When has a Verizon wireless rep ever been correct? My bet is you will not be able to unlock the bootloader if you buy the VZW.

I saw mentioned a few times people talking about the unlocked version. Keep in mind these are carrier unlocked, not bootloader unlocked. My bet is the Google unlocked will be a simple "OEM Unlock" command to unlock the bootloader
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] spinkick:
It seems to me if you guys think the verizon version will come with a locked bootloader, that you will still have to rely on verizon to release updates. I just do not see that being the case here. This isnt a galaxy nexus situation. I think the verizon version just comes with the sim.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] lucky_strike33:
I spoke to a rep from google, and asked if there was any differences to unlocked or verizon with sim. She said only difference was the sim included for the verizon. Both phones are the same and bootloaders will be unlocked for both. The sim is the only difference.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cryppie:
I don't understand why anyone would take the chance of getting a locked bootloader with the Verizon version. Sim cards are free from Verizon anyway. Verizon locked the bootloader on the first Verizon Pixel so why wouldn't they do the same with the second? What other reason would there be to have a Verizon version?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] lucky_strike33:
It's from Google store. I accidentally chose Verizon and was making sure if it's the Google store pixel XL 2 with just a Verizon sim included. She informed me it's pure google phone. My mistake if she is wrong and I chose the wrong phone. Will find out eventually.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cryppie:
The good news is that there is still time to change your order.

I had some difficulties trying to get a new sim card from Verizon for my Google bought Pixel XL. It wasn't the Reps; the system didn't want to give me a sim. I didn't have a Verizon phone. Good thing the Rep knew how to bypass the system
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Lawlrus:
Sure, it might be unlocked at launch. Then vzw will lock it like they did with the original pixel

---------- Post added at 12:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ----------

And yeah I ran into the same. Reps won't give you a nano sim for a non white listed phone, less you get lucky like you did. Once you have the sim though, you can get ad many for free as you want, and all you have to do is throw it into a new phone boot it up.and its done

I used to have a g2 which didn't use nano, and was going to get the 5x and ran into that issue because they hadn't white listed them at the time I was doing this. So I settled for a shamu because it was already white listed and I needed a phone
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] lionelhuts:
Two reasons:

Availability

Upgrade discount agreements (mostly corporate lines only at this point)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cryppie:
I should have added the word "here". I don't understand why anyone here at xda would purchase the Verizon version. I would think most corporate customers/users would not be worried a bit about a locked bootloader.

What I would love to help to prevent is the flood of posts starting three weeks from now asking how to unlock the vzw version bootloader when we all know that it's never going to happen. Maybe someone who didn't know they are buying a locked down phone will read this and will be able to change their order before it's too late. But then it might mean waiting another 2 weeks longer for a changed order. Most will choose to complain for two years about a locked bootloader than wait 2 more weeks initially.
