Well a good and a bad news... My Nokia 1 has VOLTE enabled by Airtel... But our P2XL still doesn't...

Though I guess due to Airtel testing and all I had the worse battery life in the past 3 days on my Nokia 1... So thanks Airtel... but it's good today

Do you guys like the gestures in 2xl?

OP6 were better but those on MiUI makes most sense.

Any solution without root?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nikhil.agrawal:
gestures are **** in android 9, no point of gestures if the ugly nav bar is still going to be there. try this app, its free and doesnt require root.

Thanks, great app.

.

Q:- Hope it does not affect battery life. Does it?

.

I'm using it without root or pc permissions. I only needed an easier way for 'back' function and thus I've disabled this apps bottom edge.

Does anyone know if Google USB-C earbuds are being sold in retail stores like Chroma, Reliance Digital etc. as mentioned in the Google store? I searched on Flipkart, Chroma websites but couldn't find them...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nikhil.agrawal:
it doesn't affect battery at all. I've hidden navbar with the command given in app and using bottom gestures for home, back and split screen shortcuts. I've also bought the paid version which adds even more customisability and also use the side gesture for back like iOS and miui.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] coolsid8:
I like the gestures better than oneplus. Initially i had mixed opinions but they are one step ahead of OnePlus gestures because it enables you do much more than oneplus gestures like quick switch, swiping between apps. The one thing i hate though is the extra screen space it takes. I have tried fluidng too but i keep coming back to stock gestures.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Xebeck:
.

This exactly...

I like all things that stock gestures provide at the bottom plus the back option from the sides that is provided by FNG.

So I've kept the bottom gestures disabled in FNG

Look at that standby battery drain...

I love it when the graph is that flat... 01 % in 8 hours.

Touch wood.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nikhil.agrawal:
I like app switch gesture on stock android too but the navbar doesn't makes any sense. I hope Google moves to an implementation like iOS.

pixel is really awesome with standby battery. I've only experienced this type of standby drain with iOS. I was amazed when I got the pixel and it still holds its own in terms of battery even after a year.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] coolsid8:
Just sharing my pixel b2x experience.

Got a new pixel 2xl couple of weeks back. Had a very small display issue where i could see some amount of light bleeding on dark/grey displays at around 25-30% brightness.

Called up Google cc. Some lady followed up, i shared photos on email and b2x guy came to pick up the phone a couple of days later.

Now it gets interesting. I had rooted my phone and bootloader was also unlocked because of that.

The B2X guy(Mr. Praveen Kumar) who had come up pick up my phone said that as I had rooted the phone, the phone's warranty is void and will be picked up under non-warranty claims. He even spoke to his manager and confirmed. When I spoke to his manager, he said he doesn't have any document to support this but that's how it works for Google Pixel.

Then, I called up Google Customer care and they confirmed that if i unroot and restore to factory settings, the phone warranty will be valid and it will taken as under-warranty claim. When i told this to Praveen, he said his job is to maximum earning for his company B2X which they would have got if they took it as out of warranty claim. He said knew about the warranty but still didn't tell me and wasted more than an hour for the same process.

I mailed google pixel escalation team about the same and they don't care about the practices of b2x. My phone is still under repair. Let's hope they fix it and send my phone in a better condition than before.

But I wonder if/when they will give a dark mode for phone app like they've done for messages?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nikhil.agrawal:
it's coming soon. already live in the beta version I think. the white all around with those bright colours is extremely irritating specially at night. they should bring a proper system wide dark mode like OnePlus.

So true... There are some basic things that Google should've already included in stock Android by now.

- double tap on screen.

- swipe down on screen to bring notifications.

How?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjasumit:
Are you sure? Even the Verge reported that screen call will be limited to US only for now and I haven't come across anyone outside US who got it officially. Not even UK got it. So India won't be getting it anytime soon.

Of course you can enable it if you are rooted. But that's not what we are discussing.

You mean edited xml file of the Phone app on the October update? Did you restore the original xml file?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
Have you selected your phone default language as US English?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] goti(0):
yes i did xml file on Oct update but it didn't worked I was only able to enable dark mode. You just update the app no need to restore xml file.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] goti(0):
No its English (India) and everything default in phone app no editing anywhere.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjasumit:
That's what I suspected. You didn't get the call screen.

You enabled it by editing an xml file of the dialer. This mod was not working on October update but started working after the November update. If you uninstall the Google Phone app now and reinstall it, you will not have call screen option in settings.

Also, I have already updated the app and using the Beta version, so if call screen was available for India I would have it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ninjasumit:
To end all speculations about call screen, here's a official confirmation.

"Call Screen is only available to English speakers in the United States who have Pixel 2, 2 XL, 3, or 3XL devices. If you don't see Call Screen in the Phone app's settings, it's not available yet."

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BibinBoseAmbat:
Have brought Pixel 2xl on 27th November 2018. Have a small light bleed on display (on dark background, flashes for a micro second) Have contacted Google support and they have requested to send the device back and prob the device may get replaced(the support executive is not sure). But I afraid, will the replacement be worse and will the process take too long..? The light bleed is not much noticable.

Further the notification led has never worked in my device, have tried everything in setting.

Any advice?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nikhil.agrawal:
the whole process takes about a week or two. they do give replacement device, a nexus 5x or 6p depending on the availability in case you don't have one. the notification led works fine, it's disabled by default. go to settings, apps and notifications and then notifications. switch on the toggle for blink light.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BibinBoseAmbat:
I requested for a loaner device, but they say it isn't available.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nikhil.agrawal:
oh that's just bad luck I guess. I did rma twice and was given a replacement device in both case. although I request for nexus 6p I got nexus 5x both times.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] senthilrameshjv:
So I find my battery is worse after the pie update. Even in oreo it was average only, particularly if I use camera extensively I get only 6-7 h usage with 2-3h sot.

I've reported to Google and did the troubleshooting steps. Have factory reset and even showed the pictures of battery usage in safe mode. They asked me to give the mobile for repair and can give loaner device.

My question. I've had a similar repair with microphone issue of nexus 6p and after repair it wasn't fixed.

Now with the dbrand on my pixel 2 xl, I wonder if I've to give for repair and lose it for getting nothing repaired. Worse yet, if they dont do repair properly or damage anything more.

I asked them to replace the device and they said they will only repair it. My device is 4 months old. Does anyone here have experience with Google India support..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] BibinBoseAmbat:
Yes I am from Kerala, and they say its'nt available for my pin code. How was your experience with RMA in general ? Because the web is filled with negative feedback. Mine is a dead pixel, visible on black screen full brightness.

Need some advice from you guys, My ticket got cancelled due to some technical error and the Google support assured me the DOA, will be considered even if send back the device in January, as I had reported the issue within 14 days of purchase.

Now the confusion is, I just have a tiny stuck pixel, which is noticable only on black screen, if we deliberately look for it. Other than that my device is perfect. So should I RMA ? Considering the fact that I will get a new device, but is it worth and it could also be worse and my initial experience with the customer service is pathetic.

Airtel VoLTE working on Pixel 2XL !! (with Mod)

Thanks to this thread by [MENTION=422404]Airpil[/MENTION], which I followed and got VoLTE on Airtel working on our Pixel 2 XL :

https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2-xl/how-to/guide-qxdm-port-activation-pixel-2-xl-t3884967

This needs a custom Magisk (root) port linked in that thread and two magisk modules. It is basically opening up the diag port

and re-writing NVRAM settings with airtel mbn file.

Confirmed by going to secret phone menu and checking IMS registration and availability of VoLTE (apart from Status bar logo!)

And of course by making a call while LTE data connection was on and not losing it.

Give it shot and let us know :)

ROM : Custom Havoc OS
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Prattham:

Give it a shot and let us know :)

My phone hasn't fallen down or got hit at anytime, so not sure how it could have gotten loose and popped out.

Called Google helpline - B2X called an they say it has to go to Mumbai service center and the entire assembly

for Power/Volume button/internal plate/Flexi cable etc, has to be replaced! Unbelievable!!

Anyone had this problem? Any suggestions. Thx.
