They got my Nexus 6 64GB on November 9th just got the email that they accepted the condition at the full value. $110 not bad considering that I left the factory screen protector on for the 3 or so years of use and assumed it has small cracks or something...

I shipped it in the envelope provided but chopped up some bubble wrap envelopes and left it in the case protector.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] v12xke:
I'm in exactly the same boat as you. My N6P is in mint condition with not a single scuff or scratch, but it just developed the BLOD. I flashed the 4 core boot.img and the phone is back up, running perfectly. Thing is if relock the bootloader, I was afraid it would overwrite the modified boot.img and it would no longer boot. Q: Did you send it back bootloader unlocked? Factory image and reset is no big deal. I can still fastboot flash the modified bootloader, but what if I then lock the bootloader? If you did not, I will not take the chance. TIA for your reply.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] stroths:
My boot loader was unlocked and I had everything stock except for the 4 core modified boot image.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] v12xke:
Thank you for your response. Hopefully I'll get lucky as well. Would not consider reselling this phone to anyone, but have no qualms returning it to Apto for recycling for a small partial credit.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike02z:
This is not how they paid me. They gave me a 240 Google Store credit. I told them I wanted the credit applied to my Google car.I guess it's back on the phone come Friday. Jeez, this is not rocket science.

I would not pay the device off. It's free money for the next 2 years. I don't pay anything off that's at 0 %.

Still waiting.... 10/30 one more week and it'll be a ****ing month.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] El Daddy:
Me too. I was told yesterday, "two weeks or less"
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zetsumeikuro:
I've been told "two weeks" two times now. Rep said my device should be scanned credited today. I guarantee if I call back in I will probably get another "two weeks" message. Next year I'm definitely not going to do the trade in.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
I was told the same twice as well.

I now have a 'direct' email ticket with them, as the chat rep(s) told me to stop chatting and gave me an email line instead.

The appraisal company has had my phone in hand since Oct. 24th.

It has been being 'assessed' since 11/14.

My last email on 11/21 they said this:

Obviously I wouldnt expect to hear anything today, but my status hasnt changed since the 21st.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zetsumeikuro:
I didn't expect to hear anything today either which is why I was perplexed on why I'd be quoted a holiday. But I'm guessing that most of or all their call centers are outsourced. Either way I'm not expecting a credit any time soon and will never use the trade-in again. Would of been done ages ago with Swappa abd I would of probably gotten the same amount as my device was pristine. Google really has gotten a lot of negative PR with the device "issues" and now this trade in debacle using a subpar trade-in company that closes at 2-3 in the afternoon.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shawheim:
So I am pretty pissed off about my trade in. I initiated my trade in on 10/04 when the P2XL was announced. I sent in a Verizon 128gb Pixel XL on 10/28, the day after I got my P2XL. They received my phone on 11/01. Got my email today that they had finalized my trade and and I was credited $64 for a 64gb Nexus 5X. They also said it was received more than 30 days after the trade in was initiated. I'm pretty pissed about the whole thing and am patiently awaiting a call from them. This is ridiculous.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] El Daddy:
Yikes! You are not making me confident that my month long wait will work out well for me.

I hope you get it sorted out.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shawheim:
Well I got my phone call and was left still waiting for the next move. The woman kept putting me on hold and asking me exactly what the problem was. After the third time on hold she said that my account would be fixed or adjusted for the right amount. But when I asked if they found my phone or what she kind of dodged it and said "for sure". She said I would be receiving an email in 2-3 business days. This **** is ridiculous.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dhaugru:
They received my device on 11/9 and it is still in "assessment" step. After nearly 20 days you can't figure out what condition my phone is in and give me my money?

We're looking at phones here folks, not the chemical makeup of rocket fuel. Pretty poor experience.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zetsumeikuro:
Pretty sad if they either can't tell the difference between devices or they're just mixing everything. I guess it's really confirmed that the company Google hired to do the trade ins are absolutely beyond incompetent.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] integraGSR:
After hearing all the stories, I opted to sell my OG XL on swappa. Sold for 450 but between the charge from swappa, the charge from PayPal and the shipping, I made about 380.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zetsumeikuro:
Called Google again and got transferred to shipping department office supervisor. They can't do **** and the 3rd party company hasn't given them any updates since 11/6 and they don't know how much longer it will take them. Going to call my credit card company and see if they can file a dispute. This way the balance is taken off my card. Then if the credit ever happens then I will call my credit card company and have them reverse the dispute.

Edit: I have filed a dispute with my credit card company and once Google credits me I will reverse the dispute.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] homerunbm33:
Thinking about doing this as well. Let us know what your credit card company says.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shawheim:
My biggest issue is they act like they don't know anything. I'm pretty sure that they keep the phones and resell them, so why not just look up the IMEI in their system if they are mixing phones up? It's pretty bad that a company worth billions can't get simple stuff right.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zetsumeikuro:
My credit card company has filed the dispute and I will get the credit in 2-3 days for the $410 and any interest charges. I would get an email from a support member saying the trade-in values amount and screen shot the amount that has been promised from the store and retain them.

Edit: LOL Google rep said he couldn't send me an email saying the estimate value is $410. I just said look I've called in 4-5 times already about this. I don't see why you can't send an email saying "ESTIMATED" which is not lying or fabricating anything at this point. He's like I can't do that, so I called him incompetent and hung up. You try to be polite to these people and it gets you no where. Good thing I still have the official email showing the value and have saved them all.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] wattsja:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RarePlatinum:
Yeah, they received my phone on November 1st and it changed to accessing on the website on November 10th. Hopefully something happens by the end of this week.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zetsumeikuro:
Hopefully, but don't count on it. I' already disputed the charge with my credit card company so I won't accrue any interest. Google isn't holding the 3rd party company they hired accountable at all. The last update they got from them was on 11/6 and at that time the company told Google "two weeks". At this point I bet it will take nearly two ****ing months. I've been stuck at accessing since 11/6.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ScottIsMyName:
I sent my device in November 18th and got an email today indicating I would see a refund of $355 for my Pixel 1 128gb from Verizon. Pleasantly surprised at the quick turnaround!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] shadowline:
Mine was received on the 5th of November after being stuck in shipping hell apparently for a week and a half. Still says they are assessing the value. Really hopeful they can get this sorted out before the pixel 3 is released next year. Lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jimmycrackcorn1:
I actually just dropped my 1st gen XL in the mail. I may be an idiot, but im hoping the label and trade in policy is still good. I bought the 2XL back in Oct, but I've been pretty disgusted with the wait & what i paid to venture into this whole skinny 18:9 screen thing so i was contemplating returning it.. However, I didn't want to be left without a phone if i did. Anyone know if there was a cutoff for that?

Off topic here but am i the only one who cant stand the whole 18:9 thing? I keep picking up 5.5in phones like the Moto Z2 Force and i swear they feel bigger, more readable, easier on the eyes. I find myself having to hold this phone too my face way closer than normal.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zetsumeikuro:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snotrocket555:
Hello all,

As the title states, I'm having an issue with my 6P recognizing my Hootoo Shuttle (type c hub). I was using this on my G6 that was running 7.1.1 and not rooted (T-mobile) and it would connect, receive power and show my files in either stock or ES File Explorer. I've done a search on here for "hootoo", "Powered Hub", "Android 0 Powered Hub" and "USB Options" and it all seems to be product reviews.

Problem: when I attach the hub to my Nexus it will recognize files if I don't have a power source connected. If I have a power source connected first it will charge my phone, but not recognize any drive I plug in. I've gone into the Developer Options to ensure debug was on (left on after root) and messed with the USB option for toggling between charging, MTP, PTP etc. Again, this hub (Hootoo Shuttle, designed for macbook bla bla) worked on my G6 running 7.1.1 no matter the order of operation.

can anyone offer any insight? Thank you

So I know that some progress has been made with Sungstratum (samsung subtratum) in regards to the centering of the clock and a few other things like that, but I haven't read much on changing the NavBar icons without being rooted.. Just curious if this can be done w/o root...? I just came from an LG V20 and there was a whole slough of NavBar icons in substratum, but when I searched this morning I didn't see any..

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] b3y0ndd34th:
I guess that would depend on what you are looking for.

If you haven't already, download substratum and give https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/theme-statusbar-icons-extras-samsung-t3674792 a try. It doesn't require root and it does in fact change the button icons, choices between the Pixel, Alt Pixel, AOSP and Parapaper icons. If you want to go back to stock, just uninstall the overlayers. I recommend the https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/apk-reverting-to-black-navbar-t3679747 if you prefer a dark style of the Nav bar.

If you are looking for something more custom, perhaps someone else has other ideas!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr.Ash.Man:
Check the note 8 overlayers thread, there is an AOSP navbar there in post 1

You can use Apkeditor to replace the aosp icons with your own from then on to create your own :)

[Lenovo A7000 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] tanish2k09:
Fast charging is enabled by default in latest venom, and it's the fastest you're gonna get in any custom kernel.

It might seem slow for a variety of reasons. First, the chipset is derped, and doesn't know what battery level is actually is. Second, the battery drain causes part of charging to be super fast but other part to be super slow.

Third, the kernel flash didn't quite like itself, so an easy fix would be to reflash the same zip again.

I have an LG v10 and thinking about upgrading to the V20.

I also am wanting to upgrade to Hifiman he-400i from audio technica m40x. Considering the lg v10/20 can play hi-fi DAC, will my phone be sufficient to hear the Hi-Fi quality intended frombthe He-400is?

Thanks

the phone will, but you may think of the quality of the songs, because nothing matter if you activate the DAC and use a excelent earphones if your songs are in MP3 (and bellow 192kbps).

The better the songs are the better you will notice the difference, i recomended to you use FLAC audio files because they sound better in low and highs. AND DONT, please dont convert your MP3 to FLAC because you will have 0 (zero) increase in quality, you need native FLAC files.
