Anyone on TELUS can tell me if they are on OPM2 build. The latest image to hit was OPM4 ... and I'm stuck using April 1st security update.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bb709394:
Dang it! Didn't know they released a special one for Telus... going to update manually.

Edit: updated to OPM4. Don't notice the difference -- I wonder if it was something to do with the network and increased battery drain. Oh well, I will see tonight and report back.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Waibashi:
Let me know, I'm running OPM2 since I flashed the image and it's running smoothly and my battery is beyond great!

Let me know, I'm running OPM2 since I flashed the image and it's running smoothly and my battery is great.

I'm almost certain OPM4 does not contain any of the hotfixes for the month, next month it will be included for sure.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bb709394:
OPM4 has improved my battery life (or restored it to normal). Under April's OPM2 battery was draining faster (about 6-10% overnight), OPM4 (about 2-3% overnight)... it appears the Doze is working again.

If you aren't experiencing any problems, I don't think OPM4 will make a difference. You should consider waiting for May's scheduled update.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Waibashi:
That's what I thought. You think I can just sideload it ? I flashed everything going to OPM2. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed-all. So radio and everything.

My battery has been not had. But I got couple glitches with OK Google and such
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
My battery has been draining like crazy the past few days and I'm on OPM2. Tempted to factory reset and sideload OPM4 (OPM2 downloaded when no SIM was in the phone).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dmt1386:
Hi everyone. I'm a newbie in here. There a problem with my Pixel 2xl phone.

First, I already unlock bootloader, but my wrong I relocked again ( I know that stupid). Second, I can't unlock bootloader again and can't get into recovery mode and it said that can't find valid operating system. I tried many many ways ( try another laptop, cables, firmware...). Finally, I can get into download mode by the method to get recovery mode ( It's like last chance for me). Please help me how to install firmware os in download mode. Thank you so much.

P.S: I got that phone from Roger, but they don't allow to warranty and I send it to Ubreakifix Regina North ( I'm really angry at their way of doing things. I called them about my problem. They said that send it to them with my name, email, phone number, and pay a two-way shipment fee. I waited 3 days and they sent me back without an explanation or discussion (not documents, calls or emails)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kiru:
You can try this, but not sure if it will work for you (flash at your own risk!)

If you cans still get into recovery good chance you can probably still get adb working. Go here:

https://developers.google.com/android/ota

Find the most recent full OTA for your device and follow the posted instructions to side load. Since you relocked your bootloader, you can only side load an OTA and not able to fastboot.

I'm back! Went from the pixel 2 xl to the Mi Mix 2 to the s9 plus to the LG G7 thinQ to the Huawei P20 pro and now back to the pixel 2 xl. 6 months later even with less ram, less lenses and an older processor this phone is still a contender. I missed the buttery smooth OS the monthly updates and the consistently great camera. Pound for pound I still think the s9 plus is the best phone of 2018 but the Pixel 2 xl is just the best phone out there period, for all the reasons I mentioned.

I'm rocking 8.1 all blacked out thanks to substratum swift black along with the Navigation gestures. Wondering if I should try DP3. Is it worth it?

Oh man seems like you went on a world tour. Welcome back home
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] QAM:
Hola

Very interesting travel guide [emoji16].

I agree with you that the S9 has its own pluses, so much so that I have both phones and I interchange every so often. Pixel when I want to play with custom ROMs and the S9 Plus when I want to dive into multimedia consumption or similar.

However my Pixel is what I tend to reach for most often.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
That's usually how I roll but the pixel custom community was slow to pick up. Back in the nexus days we'd have at least 3 roms to play with within the first couple of weeks. Oneplus has sort of taken over the nexus mantle but I decided to give the OP6 a pass and come back to the good old Pixel ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Yep agreed 100%

The pixel 2 been out since what last oct or so and still only a handful of roms, the 6p had dozens this far in. Very disappointing for sure.

I just cant hop on the one plus train it seems always something i dont like...like this time around the stupid inotch and no stereo speakers

sent from my Exynos S9 plus, Pixel 2 XL or Note FE
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
To be honest after the LG 7 and the Huawei P20 I really don't even mind the notch anymore. The lack of dual speakers and the glass back with no wireless charging is what made it a sure pass for me. Throw it the flimsy haptic feedback and it's a clear thanks but no thanks.

Does anyone know whats the right download for Videotron carrier? I think I got the wrong one and I'm not getting the July update
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] chriskwarren:
The July update is delayed for a lot of people. I'm on Bell and I didn't get it (I upgraded to Android p yesterday). Lots of people on various forums still waiting.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] itzik_man:
There is no specific download for Videotron. All Canadian pixel 2 xl are using the same firmware. you can sideload the July update that is finished with H1 from the google site.

Does anyone got the Call screening option on their Canadian Pixel 2 xl?

I signed with the Phone beta tester option and a beta phone app was downloaded to my phone, but I don't have the call screen option in my phone app menu!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] acheney1990:
I have it. Had to make sure I was set to Canadian English on my phone. US English that I'm usually on, didn't seem to work oddly.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] itzik_man:
You changed your phone default language from US English to Canadian English to get call screen working? My current default is US English.

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

Thanks again, it was working the minute I changed the default to English Canada!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] craig0r:
I'm a bit worried about that, yeah. But Google's looking into it, and I'm confident that they'll take care of anyone whose phone is defective.

(Ordered 64GB panda from Rogers a week ago. No delivery date, but I expect it'll be December.)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] samteeee:
Just got a courtesy call from Rogers, my XL2 Black is shipping out!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] QAM:
Huh

Woah what magic did you invoke to get shipping so fast? Are you sure you are getting the Pixel 2 XL and not the smaller Pixel 2? I was told that the XL won't be shipping in Canada until mid-November. The Pixel 2 was available since about 1 week ago.

"So what you want me to do 'bout that?"
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] samteeee:
Yup, XL2. I was pleasantly surprised as well. Got a voicemail and thought no way,

so I called back and she confirmed!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jcanchan:
just checked the Bell store here in Calgary and they had both the XL and regular pixel 2 in stock. She was also willing to sell it outright
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] craig0r:
Damn, I shouldn't have gone with the panda. :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] samteeee:
First, I was gonna go for Panda but decided on the Black as I knew I'd get it

faster and if I wanna be totally honest, it'd cost me more upfront!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] samteeee:
Don't read into that too much!

More than few friends & colleagues have the phone and no screen issues at all!

my black 64 and 128 are showing nov 14
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RoccoN4:
Has anyone in Canada received the 2XL? Seems like we aren't getting them until mid November from both Google and Carriers. Annoyed reading the shipping thread and seeing people literally just order it days ago and already getting them shipped. I don't mind waiting until mid November but seeing that makes me burn.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] adsam3927:
Receiving mine tomorrow...ordered 128gb JB from US Play Store and buddy shipped it to me for tomorrow.

Have same ordered from Canadian Play Store in case of any build issues with the US one which will arrive Nov 14

Anyone see any demo units in stores yet ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rajeshr:
Is yours the 64GB or 128GB? I'm at #4 on the Rogers list for both the Black and B&W 128GB and my number hasn't moved up since the first day or pre-orders.

Wonder if we Canadians are going get the extra 1 year warranty
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RPAusCan:
It looks like we should be OK.

"In order to maintain buyers' trust, Google is upgrading all Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL phones to two-year warranties globally." http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/1...xel-2-xl-units-two-year-warranties-worldwide/
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] QAM:

Indeed the warranty is worldwide but what I want to know is if this applies to devices procured through a major carrier. That would be super nice if they did allow this.

"So what you want me to do 'bout that?"
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] samteeee:
Mine is 64gb.

Ordered mine from Google yesterday and apparently it ships 29th of November. I don't think there's any difference when buying the phone from Google or say freedom mobile with no contract. I might pick up one from the store when it's released and cancel my order.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RoccoN4:
Isn't it more expensive to buy right out from a carrier? I'm checked Bell and it worked out to almost $200.00 more.

Freedom mobile and Rogers sells for the same prices as Google. It's only bell and Telus that are over charging.

Its highly likely the phones will be the newer builds but from what I have been reading on reddit the problems still exist. basically a screen lottery.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RoccoN4:
Has everyone in Canada who ordered an XL got a shipping date of mid November? Is this when the XL is officially released in Canada? Just curious because I was on Google Support Chat two separate times and both times they have said that is not the case. They just can't keep up supply.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] craig0r:
I ordered mine through Rogers home delivery, so it's a complete mystery as to when mine's showing up other than "as early as November 15th" or "1-2 weeks" on the Rogers website.

I'm curious though, what did the Google support agents claim *is* the case then?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RoccoN4:
They kept saying us being is Canada is not the case. They are short of supply. Then I said how I read on forums how people who ordered after my date received the phone much earlier. They both just keep kept apologizing and reassuring that I'd get it by the date they said they would ship it.

In the end, never really got an explanation. Either time.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] craig0r:
Sounds like a bunch of hooey, considering the carriers have all slated November 15th as the Canadian release date. (Although this is hearsay. I've never officially heard from Rogers myself that Nov. 15th is the release day, but people around XDA and reddit seem to have gotten this info.)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RoccoN4:
That's the thing. I've noticed everyone here say mid November. I ordered Oct 6 and am getting it mid November. If I try any carrier and order one, it says mid November. Try Google now and it is still mid November. However, reading the general shipping forum, people are getting the phone days after ordering. Heck, some people are on their second phone because of returning them. And yet, Google Support still says that Canada did not have a delayed release compared to the US.

I'm not angry. We'll get them when we get them. Just trying to understand the logic of it all.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] craig0r:
Yeah, it's a weird response for sure. Like, "markets outside the United States are taking longer to stock than domestic orders" would be perfectly reasonable, and I don't think anyone would have a problem with it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] PMPB:
100% definite confirmation that carriers are not releasing in Canada until Nov 15.

Here is a snippet for your convenience:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nicholaschum:
Anyone here on the Pixel 2 XL not getting the November update?

Seems like it's carrier based now, and since Rogers doesn't officially release the device until the 15th, I'm here waiting for my device to get the official updates (since I'm not going to sideload it)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] PMPB:
What's the evidence for the carrier based updates? This makes no sense for the Pixel line.

Also, since Verizon and Project Fi are the only carriers selling the Pixel 2 in the US, does that mean that other Pixels won't receive updates? :confused:

Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/7bfkdr/psa_pixelnexus_updates_can_still_be_subject_to/

Did some research, looks like some carriers have requested rights from Google to approve updates prior to phones on their network receiving said update. Rogers looks to be on that list. [MENTION=7755409]Nicholash[/MENTION]um, looks like you might be screwed until Rogers approves said update. I imaging that Rogers will be looking at these updates as soon as they arrive though that way the phones will receive the latest updates as soon as they are checked in. From reading the November OTA thread, it looks like A LOT of people are still waiting.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nicholaschum:
Indeed. I wouldn't blame them as I noticed on Google's factory images site, they skipped October completely, and the list of approved software only has it for Verizon (Nov) and generic, non-carrier binded devices.

It's interesting how Rogers and Fido get their own version of firmware. I can confirm however that I did get an OTA when I unboxed my phone and it was still stuck on September, so it probably loaded the delta update for that variant.

I just checked canadapost tracking and they have picked up the package and it is now in transit. Given the need for signature for delivery I might change the delivery to the closest canadapost outlet. Too many times these delivery folks come knocking when no one is at home and then they keep your package for the next day for a few more attempts before sending it to your local post office.

Anyone has advice on this?
