Same here, it's one issue after another. This device is riddled with issues but I am not going to RMA, I am going to wait for the first update and see what comes of it. Here's to hoping Google gets their ish together.

Add the IMEI to the VZW BYOD site. Might be a registration issue.

I have project fi just switch from Sprint even tho they use Sprint network and t mobile. I installed fi switch to change to t mobile to test speeds. Sprint had more signal but I was only getting about 3Mbs. T mobile with less signal 12Mbs. Both were on LTE.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] evocalante:
My network speed is good. I use to have trouble getting reception with a s8+. My pixel xl2 has no problems and I never have a loss or slow speeds.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] selfinfliction:
Wanted to throw an update out here - I got back in town today and popped in at the VZW store. They gave me a new SIM card and reset everything on the account. No changes. Then the guy told me where I work gets a hefty discount on phone plans, and the 5gb plan on contract was actually cheaper than the 3gb prepaid plan I have had for the past 3ish years. I switched to a regular subscription account and magically my bandwidth peaks doubled, and it seems to be running steady.

I'm going back out of state in 48 hours and will see if the sporadic coverage issues have been resolved too. I really hope so, because that was going to kill the deal and I wanted to like this phone so much... If the connection is still dying out, I'm just going to go back to the 3 year old phone and wait for the U11+, begrudgingly.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] chris11882:
I'm having some serious issues with D/L speeds on Sprint. I can have very good signal, sitting still, and so long as it is on LTE band 25 or 26, I might get 1 mbps down. Should I find myself in a spot where I'm connected to band 41, I get at least 10 mbps down. Tried a new sim card, factory reset, etc. Currently have a ticket "escalated" with Sprint support, but we'll see where that goes.

Part of this issue might be a result of leaving sprint and going to project fi, only to go back to sprint when they offered a $150 credit. Prior to those changes, I had consistent speeds over 10 mpbs regardless of the lte band. This is looking less like a phone issue, and more of a sprint issue, but regardless, it's getting kind of annoying.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] selfinfliction:
Yeah, it's like the carriers themselves may be involved in this one.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] selfinfliction:
Either way, I'm sending this piece of garbage back for a refund in a few days. This isn't even good quality for a $500 phone, much less a near $1,000 phone.

Verizon is even giving 50% off now for some phone trade ins, up from $300. Think this design will have to be completely redone again next year. They should've just went with the HTC.

[Nextbit Robin] sdg1980:
Solved: As of this morning, the problem is solved. Few tips for some one who might have this problem in the future

a) Charging via wall port WILL NOT WAKE UP the device, regardless of how much time you leave it there

b) Best NOT to let the battery run out completely before charging (if using custom ROM).

c) Will charge ONLY when using a desktop; at least for me, even overnight laptop charge, with no screen turning off feature, did not work.

Thank you to 15 people who read and showed interest in my post.

Shubham1024 posted the same issue few days ago, but did not see any substantial back and forth on the issue. I am wondering if more people are (beginning to be) in the same boat as I am. May be Khang will visit here and listen up....

My phone was running CarbonROM 7.1.2 (Oct 18th patch, if that matters (?)) with no stutters, lags, or anything. Just like normal with excellent battery life and what not. Two days ago, the phone completely refused to turn on, light up, or anything. It was on a wall charger for 45 mts in between classes when I came back to find it unresponsive.

Troubleshooting steps taken

a) tried three different cables along with two different wall bricks

b) took out the sim and tried charging

c) tried to charge the phone using car charger

d) different USB ports at home/work

e) left it on a desktop at school with a USB cable for few hrs (had read that one user got it to work after 48 hrs)

f) the ten twenty thirty second bootloader attempt (pwr/vol down)

Right now, I have left it at school hoping to let it charge overnight on a desktop and see if I can mimic the ONE successful result from a user somewhere.

has anyone here had the same problem as I did? if so, what steps did you take? I root and mod quite a bit, so took pretty much all the steps possible to wake up my dead phone. I am mulling contacting RAZR to see if they can assist (?) With their new gaming slab on the horizon, I am not sure if Nextbit customers will or are getting help.

The biggest upsetting thing for me is that RAZR apparently discontinued hardware support starting Aug 17. Well, what about those buyers (like me) who bought it in July of 2017 brand new sealed? Khang even took time out to reply to another user with a similar problem that pretty much, you are on your own. Additionally, Nextbit (back then, before the acquisition) even claimed on their website to let users have install custom via the already unlocked bootloader and still honor warranty. No questions asked. So...

4 months and flagship navigates into a black hole. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Nextbit Robin] eriklion:
I see these forums littered with the same issues and no one's bothered to see if it's in QHSUSB_Bulk mode. Mine just started to do this when I shut it down. Now I cant get it back by holding Power and Vol down, it just reboots it. It was at 85% battery when I shut it down and n ow I can get it to come back on. Black screen, PC reports Qualcomm Download mode. No Fastboot or recovery

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Migamix:
while im one of the few with no RMA waranting problems, i am wondering how many DID use the migration tool, and how many set up as new device. i have found in the past, copying the /0/data directory (internal storage for your goodies) i get nothing but problems. and it does seem this is what the Google "data transfer tool" seems to do, forcing me to have to cache/data wipe some apps. Gboard for example, as im typing this, this was an app i had issues with, and realized it was not the stock settings, showing that data had been pulled over. just wiped the app, and it is behaving as expected as far as i can see.

so, the core question, who here used the migration tool and has NO issues. or who has used the tool, and has issues with several, or some apps.

i am considering making a poll to get a feel for where some of the problems people are having may stem from.

this included fingerprint reading issues from devices that had fingerprint readers or even Bluetooth issues. i myself came from the N6 with no fingerprint data, and was on a rom before i did the migration. i expect to factory reset and start as new with no prev data to taint the device. as its cleaner than wiping each app one by one.

as it stands i have NO device breaking hardware issues, just the case where some apps are behaving buggy like Gboard, and voice texting (before i did an app wipe to its defaults)

I used it for the first time going from Pixel XL to Pixel 2 XL. Went quickly and everything is fine.

The only thing that didn't transfer over are APK files.

i tried to use it, kept complaining about couldnt connect with cable i was using and that i should trying using the charging cable that came with the phone instead (i was using the orig samsung cable that came with the phone) i tried all other kinds of known good data cables that i had laying around as well. nothing seemed to work.

all contacts are in the cloud, transfered all my sms/mms with 'sms backup and restore' app, email is in the cloud, pictures/video is in the cloud, put a few documents on dropbox and reinstalled all apps myself. it didnt really take all that long.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AndrasLOHF:
I used it coming from an OG Pixel XL. Everything worked perfectly.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] chris11882:
I used it from the 6P to the 2XL, and it was amazing. Somehow I didn't even know that was possible, but I'm sure glad it is there. Being that it only transfers the apps data, not the APKs, it seems to be fairly efficient and not cause any issues (at least when I did it.)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] imnuts:
I used it going to my Pixel XL last year, and my 2XL this year. It transferred more this time around than before. I had an issue with 1 or 2 apps I had to wipe data on to get them to work right, but nothing substantial.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] canemaxx:
I transferred from XL to XL 2 and everything went fine, same as previous statements with the apk files not transferred. Only issue I have noticed was Google fc once.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jt3:
I used it twice. Once from my Nexus 6P to the P2XL, and again when I had to swap my first P2XL out for another (For some reason, my Fi pre-order somehow got fulfilled through the Google Store, so they couldn't activate Device Protection... and no, neither Fi nor I have any idea how that happened). Both times, everything worked just fine, but it didn't transfer the settings for every app. I always backup my "Internal Shared Storage" folder to my computer beforehand, and copying a few folders back took care of most of the app settings that were missed. I think all the rest were taken care of by logging into the app.

All phone logs, SMS/MMS history, voicemails, Wi-Fi passwords, desktops icons, etc. came back perfectly. Widgets were properly placed, but had to be reconfigured.

EDIT: One nice thing I forgot. In both cases, the old phone was to be factory-reset and shipped off, so by hooking up the USB-C cable, I was able to use the old device to start charging the new one, allowing me to jump right in on the transfer, without worrying about the out-of-the-box battery level of the new device. You do have to pay attention to which device is charging which though... but a quick tap on the notifications could swap that around if necessary.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] galaxys:
I transferred from XL to XL 2 and everything worked surprisingly well, except text Messages. I use SMS Backup for the messages.

Requirements

GalaxyS8/S8+

Odin (i used 3.12.3)

A UK sim card (i used Lycamobile)(lyca is available in almost every country in europe)

Aqh3 firmware and UK csc (i used samfirm to download)

Instructions

Use odin toflash UK firmware and BTU csc

boot into it and use sim tool app to change region to uk

Go to samsung members and enroll in the beta

wait a few minutes and go to settings, software updates and download manually(it takes between 5-15 minutes for the update to appear so be patient)

if it still doesn't work flash the csc collection and choose btu then start again

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] lupy:
after 2 days of struggle i did it without root :D

first, you need a UK sim or lycamobile sim.

0. remove any sim from phone

1. flashed BTU firmware

2. flashed Combination firmware COMBINATION_FA70_G955FXXU1AQE3 with HOME_CSC from BTU firmware

3. After boot, entered in factory Imei and input *#243203855#, choose BTU, wait for changes to be done

4. reflashed BTU firmware and insert your uk sim

4.5 if you have a lyca sim, go into simtoolkit and change region to uk

5. install samsung members app and log-in with you samsung account and you should see in notice Beta enrollment

i'm here if you have more questions

Hey I'd like to try but have "a few" question

1) flashed BTU fw -> you mean the OXM firmware? Because there is no separate BTU. I downloaded the "BTU" from Samfirm and it was 5 files but with OXM CSC. I flashed it but my csc remained the same XEO

2) what is a combination firmware? Where to download it? And as I understand I should use only BL, AP, CP from it and CSC from BTU?

3) what is a factory imei and how to enter it?*

4) I have to reflash the OXM firmware again? (CSC, BL, AP, CP)

5) when to insert SIM. After turning the phone on?

I'm sorry for so much questions I'm just trying to figure it out for couple days now and have nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] lupy:
1. yes, is the OXM csc, got it from BTU

2. I got it from http://www.techeligible.com/2017/08/24/galaxy-s8-plus-s8-combination-files/ but there are many other places. It's just one file and I added in AP and in CSC the CSC_OXM file from btu. Maybe you don't need to add the csc file but my SIM erased all others csc options and I had only ROM csc, had to reflash the combination file and CSC file to have all CSC options in factory binary

3. afaik combination file is a firmware used by phone repair shops to bypass security and make tests, it's not a normal firmware

this combination firmware changes your interface and you will only see something like this http://www.techeligible.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/galaxy-s8-factory-binary.jpg go into menu and you will see factory ime

4. after you change the csc in factory binary you need to flash BTU firmware to have a normal interface

5. you can add the uk sim anytime. I had the Register beta notification but when I tried to hit Register it gave me an error that the firmware doesn't match the sim, inserted and I could hit the button without errors

I`ve done the following steps:

1. Flashed firmware 4 files: G955FXXU1AQH3 with BTU, from samfirm.

2. After boot i`ve started flashing in download mode the COMBINATION FILE: COMBINATION_FA70_G955FXXU1AQD1_CL11075178_QB13087097_REV00_user_mid_noship.tar and odin has stopped flashing here on this file: see the picture! Please help me, what should i do next?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] namgniw:
How long have you waited? It takes some time.

1. Put phone in Download Mode

2. Flash COMBINATION firmware and HOME_CSC_OXM of BTU ROM

3. Let it boot might take 2 min so be patient ￼

4. Wait for phone boot up

5. In Factory (the middle icon in the bottom)

6. Input *#243203855#

7. Choose BTU, it will be on the list then install (Choose fully customizable option after selecting btu)

8. Phone will restart into factory binary again

9. In Factory Ime input *#243203855# and BTU should be at the top if its done correctly, well done

10. Now Flash your phone with original BTU files AP – BL – CP – HOME_CSC_OMX

I have flashed the COMBINATION firmware 3-4 times tonight. Right now I'm trying to flash and wipe the BTU firmware one last time before I give up.

I don't know the exact amount of seconds, minutes & hours it takes to flash it, but around 5-10 minutes depending on your computer. DO NOT remove the USB-cable until you get the green light in Odin saying "Pass"
