[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ceo.mtcl:
So I have three IMEI numbers of three different Verizon Pixel 2 XLs. Two of them were returned to Google. When I check the IMEI number of first two, they show up on the LG IMEI checkker website. But the third one doesnt, it gives me exact same error as yours "The service is currently not available. Please try again later.".

I have a sneaky suspision that newer Pixel 2 XLs are not listed on the LG IMEI checker database and it throws this generic exception to deal with it. (Note that I specifically requested Google to send me one of the new batch of phones due to the screen issues I have been facing).

Nope. Not at all.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] erikieperikie:
Because my phone came with a third party app installed (Caping, some kind of Indonesian news app), I didn't trust it being sent to me straight from the factory without someone having interfered and possibly installed the app. So, I wanted to perform a factory reset. I can factory reset my phone through Settings, but is this a thorough reset? Is it possible to do a 'complete' reinstall using only the stock phone, so no root, no custom recovery, no tools? Let this Q&A thread be a guide for factory reset methods for our phones and what the main advantages of the methods are.

[MENTION=314930]iceman4357[/MENTION] nice review. I am like you, this is going to be my primary phone. Would like your take on call quality from both sides. Especially if the people on the other end can hear you clearly. Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] iceman4357:
I can tell you with certainty the headpiece is a lot louder on the XL2. I had to turn down the volume a few times on calls. I spoke with my father for about 30 minutes and he said I sounded a little louder than my previous phone. He is on ATT and I am Verizon. HD voice was turned on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] iceman4357:
So far I have spoke with about 5 people today that have confirmed I sound better on speaker and standard phone. Most people say that I dont even sound like I am on speaker.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] iceman4357:
Update-- Signal strength is definitely better on the XL2. Every Thursday/Friday I drive through dead zones where my original XL would drop call or cut out completely. The XL2 never dropped a call and never cut out.

Thank you for your nice review. Really looking forward to get mine on november 15th.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] eugi:
My tab has some problem with battery drain/charging. This happened just over night.

Even if the tab is powered off, the battery is drained within a one or two hours.

First I noticed that when charging, one spot on the back cover is within minutes over 46 degrees hot and charging is very slow (20% after 5 hours). The spot stays hot after removing the charging cable and the tab is powered off, until the battery totally drained.

After removing the cover, the circuit (see picture) is going hot immediatelly after connencting the charging cable, even if the battery is disconnected.

Maybe is this circuit damaged? Any opinion?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] bgm92:
Hello,

Do you think it's possible to enable support for aptX?

As far as I've learnt, it's something software specific, not hardware. Both Galaxy S6 which has support for aptX and J5 2016 have BT 4.1.

We would need some libs. Can libs from S6 (Nougat) be usable on J5 2016 (also Nougat)?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] BlackAxiom:
Even some libs from note 8 work on j5 2016 :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] bgm92:
Do you have any idea how libs work in Linux? Is it trying to load all libs from that folder or you need to register them somewhere in the system?
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] BlackAxiom:
They just work haha
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Bulgaricus:
I think it's more of a codec rather than a simple lib :)

And you are wrong they don't just work... There are codecs and permissions who allow them to execute in the right mode

Edit: I will try to port it even it might be useless since you will need BT devices that are compatible with aptX
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] bgm92:
Thanks for trying! Actually I have a pair of MDR-XB950N1 which has the aptX codec.

I looked a bit and I found this in system/lib of S6 ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] bgm92:
I've installed the "aptXHD.zip" from here.

Amongst some libs that goes to the vendor partition, there is a line that is added to build.prop which is "persist.bt.enableAptXHD=true".

Now, I'm not sure if the build.prop line did something or not. By checking the system partition in the lib folder, it seems that there are already some libs like in Galaxy S6: libbt_aptX_ARM_4.2.2.so, libbt_codec_aptx.so.

So I guess that maybe J5 2016 already has aptX support? Because in the logcat I can't see any trace of loading files from the vendor partition from that zip (libaptXScheduler.so, libaptXHD-1.0.0-rel-Android21-ARMv7A.so or libaptX-1.0.0-rel-Android21-ARMv7A.so).

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Digital DJ:
So my GP2 is due to arrive tomorrow and I'm excited but also worried. With all the reported issues, I'm wondering if I shouldn't just cancel my order and stick to my original Pixel phone. It seems to work just fine and it's paid for. I wonder how many of these devices there are that are reporting issues. I imagine that people like us who roam in XDA pay much closer attention to issues on devices, but I'm seeing these stories posted in other Android Forums as well. I don't remember there being this many issues right out of the gate with the original Pixel. I'm kind of bummed now.

There is one known real issue with the Pixel 2, which Google has acknowledged, the clicking sound and high pitched whine that some (not all) phones have: https://productforums.google.com/fo...!msg/phone-by-google/XuQgtm5dK8I/7SZD7EfxAAAJ https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2/help/clicking-phone-calls-t3691069 https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2/help/clicking-sound-pixel-2-t3692574

*

Clicking sound aside, I would not worry. You're right that it's the people with problems who tend to post here at XDA and on reddit and elsewhere. It can create the impression of vast problems, when in fact 99% of people are fine or having a great experience. So certainly no reason to cancel your order, before you even know what your experience of the phone will be. Don't you get a 30 day return period anyway? Try the phone out, see how you like it, and if you find it has problems or not worth it, then return it. But if you wanted it in the first place, enough to place an order, it's worth at least giving it a try.

Personally, I think the phone is really great and I even have the clicking issue mentioned above (but again many do not). I'm working/waiting to resolve that, but don't intend to give up on the phone.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] whoisGadget:
I unlocked the bootloader on my device previously. I hadn't rooted it yet, just haven't had the time. I'm ready to do so now, and i've read that you need to boot to this modified version of TWRP and use it to flash the TWRP image to the device, in doing so it flashes it to both the A/B partition of the device. I know you are always supposed to do good backups when you are doing these types of mods, BUT is it by functionality going to clear the device when it writes TWRP to both the A/B partition? When flashing TWRP to any other device that has never been the case. I just wondered if this works differently given the dual partition setup?

Afterwards I plan on using TWRP to flash magisk beta 14.3 to my pixel xl.

[Touch Cruise General] Aleemz:
I've had my Orbit 2 for one day and find internet explorer unusable, so much that I'm considering sending it back and staying with my hermes/tytn/Orange M3100. The touch scroll/flow is very very sticky and slow.

On my hermes I have SPB Pocket Plus installed with the 'Smart Scrolling' feature on. With this, Internet Explorer finger-scrolling down web pages is super-smooth and fast.

I installed SPB Pocket Plus on my Orbit 2 thinking this would sort the problem out but when installed on the Orbit 2 the Smart Scrolling feature is missing (!?)

I really don't want to send the phone back, so any help with resolving this issue would be very much appreciated.
[Touch Cruise General] maati:
Please.... This has already been posted so often! Why don't you simply use the search function?

I'll give you one hint, however: ie_slow_scroll_fix.cab
[Touch Cruise General] Aleemz:
sorry, I did search but didn't find that cab. thanks for the pointer!

I've installed it and scrolling is much improved, but still nowhere near as good as om my hermes with SPB Pocket plus installed with the Smart Scrolling feature.

Does anyone know why the Smart Scrolling feature of SPB Pocket plus isn't available when installed on the polaris (Orbit 2)?
[Touch Cruise General] speakerphone:
try disabling htc's touchflo 1st?
[Touch Cruise General] Aleemz:
It appears SBP PP's Smart Scrolling is not compatible with any TouchFlo device. I suppose thats a good enough reason for a little donation to support the chefs with their cooking of a TouchFlo + SPB Smart Scrolling compatible rom.
[Touch Cruise General] alipi2007:
also u can try PIE for windows 6.1 :)
[Touch Cruise General] maati:
Why not install the new Netfront Browser 3.5? It's got a really smooth scrooling function combined with tabbed browsing and the zoom-out function (like Opera mini). And it's free until May 31, so you won't have to worry anymore for the next three months.

The IE_slow_scroll_fix.cab, however, made scrolling perfectly smooth on my device. I don't think it could be much better. So perhaps you try to do a hard reset and then install it first or uninstall SPB and then install the cab? It should work almost perfectly...
[Touch Cruise General] speakerphone:
Think TouchFlo + SPB Smart Scrolling compatible is impossible. You'd have to choose one. That's why I'd rather use SPB which at least comes with updates for bugs.
[Touch Cruise General] Straputsky:
I agree with maati:

Install Netfront. Maybe till end of May HTC has released a new rom where the bug is fixed.

Guys, thanks for the suggestions!

I already have Netfont Browser 3.5 installed, and it has a very nice 'action'. Is there any way to get it to scale down the web page to a column like Internet Explorer does?

I've just tried Pocket Internet Explorer for WM6.1 (Thanks for the link alipi2007) and running this along with the IE_Slow_Scroll_Fix cab seems to do a better job.

However, let me give you an example to decribe the issue I still have:

When using the Polaris to view the index of this forum (http://xdaforums.com/index.php), I flick my thumb from the bottom of the Polaris screen to the top three times in quick succession - the screen scrolls and halts at the picture of the Wallaby handset.

Now, when I do the same on my Hermes running SPB Pocket Plus with Smart Scrolling, this three flicks of my thumb up the screen takes me down to the picture of the Vogue.

Quite some difference, don't you agree?

It's this speed of navigation and fluidity that I need on my Polaris.
