The Nexus 6P has been my favorite phone. It's not perfect but the development support is fantastic! I was really into it. I even started making my own custom ROMs. I couldn't post them to any threads but I had a secret Hangouts group. I stopped making them though because I don't have the time anymore. Plus my external SSD got corrupted when the ****ing usbc came unplugged. I had a freaking boss Linux setup. I was so pissed off that I just said screw it I'm done.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xocomaox:
Interesting that you say this, I didn't notice any curvature to the screen at all when I looked at one yesterday. Are you talking about the screen or the glass?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] :
It would be the curve of the front glass. I saw this pic on Google + and it reminded me of the S7 edge I had and how the screen protector would peel off at the corners. I don't want another screen like that. I seriously like my 5" Pixel but it's a bit too small so the XL fits me just fine. I was excited to have ordered the 2 XL until I saw the pic and then confirmed it on other sights. If it wasn't for that I would be all over this.

Have you tried ordering some real IEMs? If comfort is an issue there are many companies that will give you the tools to make a mold of your ear canal and they will shape the IEM to so that comfort level is basically perfect.

Checkout https://www.head-fi.org/forums/portable-headphones-earphones-and-in-ear-monitors.103/ there are lots of good options and reviews from for good IEMs.

Or if you don't quite want to go that expensive you can *usually around 350+* for IEMs with custom molds you can stick to a good set of $100 earphones and get a set of these to make it comfortable https://www.amazon.com/Comply-Foam-Premium-Earphone-Tips/dp/B00AQU2U48?th=1

... i just hate to see people waste good money on bad ,over-priced audio products like that of Bose and Beats.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xocomaox:
Oh, yeah. It's nothing like the S7 edge. The edges are curved but the screen is flat.

Thanks for clarifying. :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I actually got to check one out at the Verizon store today and the edges aren't all that bad. It's much less than what the picture was showing. Still there was one big negative... the demo unit was dead. That isn't the first report of a dead demo I have read. With that said I'll at least hold off purchasing this for a few and see if it's worth switching from a XL or not. I do like the XL2 with all it's sleekness but I'm a bit unsure right now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xocomaox:
Funny you should say that. I was just checking out a Verizon store today and one was not charging. The employees said it was like that when they got it, but are still displaying it becuase Verizon wouldn't give them any more floor units.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] :
My wife went back to the store a couple days ago to pick up a S8+ and the display of the XL2 was fixed. She took a good look at it and said it's really nice so I reordered another from Google. My other big deciding factor was I have $350 credit in the Google store and a Pixel 5" I will be selling to recoup the cash.

Not yet but I might seeing my wife's and my phone both will have curved displays. The film protectors will do for now I guess.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jdiegmueller:
My best guess (based on nothing but my hunch):

Besides the two (2) Pixel XLs my small business owns, I have never once came across anyone out in the Real World(tm) with a Pixel/Pixel XL. I've had my Pixel XL correctly identified by a rando ("oh, is that a Google Pixel?") one time in over a year. I've had my Pixel XL incorrect identified by a rando ("oh, is that the new iPhone?") at least once a month in that same timeframe.

With that in mind, my hunch is that Google feels they need the marketing power and reach of Verizon & the Verizon sales channel (the largest carrier in the US) to get more Pixel 2/Pixel 2 XLs out there.

May be right, may be wrong; again, just my hunch,

I just think you're focusing on the wrong things... Pretty much everything that is missing isn't a very big deal for most people, and the 1000 you're spending is about what you're getting. The updates, the AI, the amazing camera, vanilla android, the user experience, I could go on... but I think you get my point. That is what people who are buying any phone from google are really buying... everything else you can get from any other phone... you can have your headphone jack, your sd card, your whatever... but you're going to be missing out on what is hands down the best experience of Android (as an OS) you can have.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] georgiapi:
I dunno guys if you don't tolerate locked boot loaders the same money or even less can get you expandable storage, headphone jack, same processor & RAM.

The cameras are all in a close race and I'm buying a phone not a camera.

No expandable storage and free cloud for a while is meh. Google is working on a system where apks are no longer needed to run on the device. Guess what, you will stream it and pay for the data use.

Google used to be our friend in the cellular world but they are now starting to be like the rest.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] fr4nk1yn:
This was answered already. It's not so much a carrier exclusive as Google is using Verizon as a pseudo-Google Store.

Apple has their own stores and different product lines to sell in them. Google doesn't have the stores or the product lines to fill stores if they did. So they teamed up with the biggest carrier to distribute it.

You can walk into a Verizon, buy a Pixel, put your T-Mobile or Cricket SIM in and walk out. They do need to make that more clear.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rsbenedict:
Although wireless charging started in 2010 with the Palm Pre (I think it was the first phone to have it), it's taken 7 years for it to become mainstream. Previously with Samsung and LG, I had to buy adapters that fit between the back plate and the battery to get it. It's a nice feature, but not a must have. I would rather have a sturdier phone made of metal that cannot wireless charge than a fragile GLASS phone that can. It's bad enough that the front is glass and cracks (thankfully never have cracked mine), but with glass backs, that's twice as much crackage. I travel a lot and all I see are cracked phones while I go through the airport. Why the heck would you build something that it being used all of the time in a variety of environments and make it out of glass???
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cedargreen:
Went to Verizon to check the XL 2 as well and it was also not charging. Wasn't on and couldn't check it out, just able to pick it up not powered on. Def strange.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jinsoku3g:
Nit picking is a waste. I collect every flagship phone as they come out. The EXPERIENCE of the Pixel XL 2, is unlike anything available. LG simply does not provide the same happiness in regards to fluidity and cleanliness.

You'll also find, LG and Samsung phone do not age well. Headphone jacks are going away, time to just let it be.

Fortunately sunshine allows you to s off again. The thing is that I have imei in htc 10 after s off. The imei appeared in both the download mode and the menu in the phone. But u11 is in download mode and fastboot screen, i have been repaired on imei, ı have seen the original imei phone from inside. Now do you think this is the result of the operation I have done? I am sorry for the bad English :(

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] KillerDroid96:
Google is still doing carrier exclusive to Verizon just like Apple did with AT&T. Why!?

-Its 2017 and Google sure as hell doesn't need extra money from a carrier exclusive.

Google trolled Apple last year for no headphone jack. This year they followed in the footsteps of Apple by removing it? Why!?

-IP67 can still be done with a headphone jack. (Samsung etc..)

-Headphone jack sound can be improved with DAC (LG)

-The USB C can still be used for audio even with a headphone jack.

Google charges $200 more for a bigger screen? Apple charges $100 more for the bigger screen and better specs?

Google still doesn't have wireless charging but they did on the Nexus 6? (All the competition has wireless charging in 2017)

Google is playing the Apple game of endless adapters to do simple basic **** so they can pocket more money.

-$20 for USB-C to 3.5mm Jack (When you lose the included one)

-$44.95 for USB-C to 3.5 mm Adapter/Charger (So you can charge your phone and listen to music at the same time...)

-It's 2017 we should be moving away from adapters and cables not adding more.

Google only 4GB of RAM like really come on. At least bump it up for the Pixel 2 XL to help justify the $200 difference.

Google's camera sticks out on this version. Why?

Up to 7 hours of battery on 15 minutes of charging? Like what does that even mean? That's completely relative to the user. Why not say up to 70% in 15min or whatever.

Google why are you still using USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps) and not Gen 2(10Gbps)?

The Pixel 2 is a big improvement over the Pixel but still, falls short of the competition IMO. (Samsung, LG, OnePlus etc..)

I'm not saying the Pixel 2 is a bad phone. Its just targeted towards the type of people that buy iPhones.

I miss the phones targeted towards developers aka the Nexus line. Why not have a Nexus and Pixel line?

I'm still rocking the Nexus 6P. I couldn't justify the price for the Pixel XL and still have trouble justifying the price for the Pixel 2 XL

The lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack really rubs me the wrong way. Especially since they trolled Apple last year for not having one. Google fans went nuts over that and couldn't understand why Apple fans acted like it was no big deal. Now Google does the same thing and the majority of Google fans act like it's no big deal. Just shrugging it off. I have such a hard time supporting Google anymore. I've been a huge Google fan since the first Nexus device. I just feel so left behind now. My respect for Google is diminishing fast.

I realize that these are all nitpicking complaints but come on. With that price tag, everyone should really be nitpicking.

The lack of 3.5mm headphone jack has me on the fence. Every time I see an iPhone user walking around with the adapter to listen to music I laugh. It looks so damn goofy and awkward. Picturing myself with the adapter and my Bose headphones for the Pixel XL just makes me shake my head.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mva5580:
I'm not going to touch on everything you said....a bit too much for me. But a few things:

No idea....I think this one is pretty stupid. Unless the other carriers have flat out told them they don't want the phone, I have no idea why they continue to do this. Just stupid.

I'm not really convinced it's a "big" improvement over the Pixel. At all.

Yep, but what do you expect really? iPhones sell a ton, and I think a lot of these companies go as along as they can with trying to be "unique" but it's like they can only hold off so long before they say "ok screw it, just do what the other companies do so people will be familiar with it." I won't be surprised one bit if in the next few years Android becomes more locked down like iOS as well.

I'm not saying this stuff is good or whatever....but it is what it is. I have no real reason to "upgrade" from my Pixel XL to an XL 2, I just see no tangible justification for it. And I have to say I'm also getting pretty close to going back to an iPhone because the things that make Android unique are slowly but surely going away. If all Android is going to be is a Google-skinned iPhone.....then I'll just buy an iPhone because Apple does that better. It's kind of sad that they only things really keeping me on Android at this point are the Notification LED, Textra, and Nova Launcher. That's pretty much it.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] KillerDroid96:
Okay, I shouldn't have really sad a big improvement because it's not. They did fix the major complaints people had with the Pixel though.

If Google ever locks down the phone and doesn't allow it to be unlocked and rooted for custom ROMs I'm so done with them. The direction Google is going I wouldn't be surprised at all if they did that either. I would be all over the Galaxy S8 if the US variants could be unlocked. If everyone locks Android down I would seriously consider looking at my first ever iPhone. I understand why Google is starting to follow the Apple model. I just wish they would have a separate line of phones for developers. If they brought back the Nexus line and still had the Pixel line that would be the perfect solution.

Hey Guys,

i have one question:

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 is a 64Bit CPU, but tools (specifically Xposed) says the system is ARM not ARM64 and the app AIDA64 says the command set is "64-bit ARMv8-A (32-bit Mode)".

So is the G5 running a 32Bit Android?

And could this be the reason why Xposed don't work?

(Only tested the arm zip file, not the arm64, rooted wit Magisk)

The g5 runs 32bit android

Xposed works fine - I used the Unofficial build from

However since I tested this a while ago the official nougat xposed has been released - according to one post Iv seen AICP rom thread that also works fine

Make sure you choose the correct sdk

Android 7.0 is sdk 24

Android 7.1 is sdk 25

i install twrp with autorec and after that, flash lineage os. at first, lineage os doesnt working, just blinking lg logo and black screen. i can get twrp menu and do recovery to old stock rom. but after that i get throught this problem and install lineage os.

but now, i cant open twrp menu. it says secure booting error. i have to open cuz i didnt flash gapps yet.

also, device couldnt install supersu after installing lineage os, because it needs twrp menu or play store.( i downloaded apk, but it didnt work.) now system has not root access. cant install supersu because cant open twrp menu. and there is root access menu under development settings, but doesnt look like it changing anything at all. also root checker apps says no root.

i think maybe i should have to reflash twrp. i can plug this device to my mac and use adb commands. but

reboot bootloader -->goes download mode(firmware update screen with %0 download) and fastboot commands dont work at this screen

reboot fastboot ---> nothing happens, reboot system and open lineage os.

reboot download --->nothing happens again. only reboots system.

i need root access and fix at least twrp screen for flash gapps. and that is the situation. i didnt know what can i do at this point? can you help me?

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Worldbeing:
A little over a week ago I started having the fairly common issue on my (hitherto completely unmodified XT1039 where the radio is turned off and can't be turned back on again.

Following advice from similar threads on this forum, I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and flashed the stock 5.1 ROM found in this thread as Retail EU 5.1 ROM (Optimized) v1.1: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-lollipop-rom-t3142816

Didn't get anywhere so I flashed the radio firmware provided in that thread. Symptoms remained the same:

5.1: SIM reads fine, WiFi works, radio off, IMEI reads fine

Following another thread, I tried downloading the stock 4.4.4 ROM from https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto G (1st gen-2013)/Stock/XT1039/

Being a beginner, I ran into difficulties with manually flashing the xml.zip ROM - but on a hunch I tried flashing the radio firmware only.

Surprisingly, this worked - kinda. Having done that, I had a system where the radio worked - but the SIM wouldn't read, and the WiFi wouldn't turn on. I quickly figured out that I could switch between the two states by flashing the 5.1 or 4.4.4. radio firmware:

5.1: SIM reads fine, WiFi works, radio off, IMEI reads fine

4.4.4: No SIM, no WiFi, radio on, IMEI reads fine

Running out of ideas, I tried flashing LineageOS, only to get yet another configuration:

Lineage: No SIM, WiFi on, radio on, IMEI won't read

However, with Lineage running, I could flash the relevant 5.1 or 4.4.4 radio firmware to get those states back.

Finally, tried installing 4.4.4 from https://xdaforums.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-kitkat-rom-t3160127

This gives me the same set of symptoms I had originally (SIM reads fine, WiFi works, radio off, IMEI fine), whatever radio firmware I flash.

I am at this point pretty stumped - this is my personal phone so would be pretty pleased to get it up and running again. Any kind souls have useful ideas on what my next steps should be?

Well, you are coming from Samsung, so you don't have an expectation of long-term support. The Nexus 6 is at the end of support.

The 6 is very nice, but rather dated. It will never get official support beyond 7.1.1. Camera isn't great. I plan to use mine for another year, as I don't like the Pixel 2 XL choices.

It all comes down to what price do you pay for it. $200, probably OK. $300 too expensive.
