But expect a very delayed shipping.. Only US gets a good fast delivery, for me:

Pre ordered 3rd of nov (first pre ordering day)

Email notification that its shipped on 16th of nov

Actual shipping record 18th

Handed over to shipping company on 20th

Until now its sitting in Hong Kong and didn't move (today is 25th here)

I personally gave up on tracking or emailing or complaining, i heard every excuse in the world, but not that they did a mistake or are wrong. I even was attacked here in this thread coz of complaining.. Simply gave up..

Interested in trading your fabric one for a mint blue Speck Presidio Grip case so you have a rugged case as well? I have one in perfect condition that I'll never use but I've been looking to get a Google cloth case. Should save us some PayPal fees if you're interested.

Got my case yesterday. Love it! Feels great, adds almost zero to dimensions and weight. Perfect for me.

Works with my Anker magnetic vent mount! Nice!

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] millerd79:
I remove by pulling the top right corner off then the bottom right.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] markp99:
Very carefully. This one is a real bear! I've had prior thin/rigid case FAIL on me, with a crack near the corners at the transition from thin to thick profile. Maybe the Aramid fibers will help prevent this issue (?).

I have a magnetic car mount. Will it work out of the box?

Yes I just tested it out.

Looks like theres a new real cf case coming out(by Simply Carbon Fiber), now in pre order. Looks good but not fully carbon fiber. Thinking about pre ordering...

Worked for me with my existing Anker mount. I have an Anker plate in my OG Pixel XL's case, but did not need it with this case.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] lacibaci:
I mentioned the same to their support (I have Pixel 2) and here is what they told me:

"It is defective according to our standard. The problem was because we don't own the real phone in production and Google doesn't sell in China where our production was, and which means we may have some off-central cutouts slip away. But we've definitely solved this problem and thanks a lot for your pictures."

The good news is that they are sending a replacement.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] machostallion:
I just got one of these. Has anyone tried putting a dbrand skin over it. Just wondering on the fit.

I like the case. Seems very tough for being thin. Not much shock absorption though for long falls on a hard surface. Might look into adding a TG screen protector if it won't interfere with the case.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] gogol:
Checking the one for Google Pixel 2 (not XL), but it's sold out!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] nuclearfissure:
Unfortunately, I did. A full back-covering Dbrand dragon skin wrap and i can't put the phone in the case without having to force and scrape the skin off the phone. There just isn't enough clearance for the Dbrand skin which wraps around the edges. It's sad. Now i have to choose between the two. Hope I could help.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] tysj:
I think OP is talking about putting a skin on the case
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] machostallion:
The comment above this one is correct, I was considering putting the dbrand on the case (not on the phone). Sorry it didn't work out for you. This is a tight fitting case so I'm not surprised the case wouldn't work with the skin on the phone itself. Maybe you could trim the skin so it doesn't cover any of the sides of the phone.

How does the texture of the case feel compared to a dbrand carbon fiber skin? How is the fit with the skin on the back of the phone? Did it come with a screen protector like the ones for the iphone?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xzr3b0rnzx:
texture of the case is kind of like rubberized, you can't really feel the patterns but dbrand skin u can feel the grooves but not as grippy and it just feels unprotected (at least for me).

I personally wont recommend you to use a full dbrand skin since this is a tight fit case. i am just using the skin for the glass area and it works fine for me and i have taken off the case multiple times the sticker is still good.

bought this case since day 1 and i never look at other available case in the market

it does not come with screen protector unfortunately.

Review of the Pitaka Magcase for the Pixel 2 XL

I stumbled across this case while browsing the xda threads. I found this case appealing for these two main reasons. The first being, it's thin and non bulky, the second being, it's has a carbon fiber look to it. Being a fan of these, I decided to order one. I received it last week and have been using it since. Here are my thoughts and opinions about this case. Coming from the Spigen thin fit, the Magcase is thinner and doesn't collect dust on the sides like the thin fit does due to the curved glass on this phone. I was hoping the case would have the same texture of the dbrand skins but that is infact not the case. I would describe the texture of this case as a soft rubber. The positive aspects of this case is that it's thin and doesn't add bulk to your phone. If you're into the carbon fiber aesthetic this case has this so you don't need to apply a skin on top. With this case, dust doesn't gather at the sides of the screen either. However, not all things are prefect with the Magcase, the first issue I have with this case is the cutout for the fingerprint scanner. It's not CENTERED. If you're OCD like me this will bug you, I got the the case during the second batch where this has seemingly been fixed but it's not. I contacted support and they told me that this was "within acceptable range" which brings me to the second point, the price. This case cost 49.99USD, converted to CAD is ~60$ which is absurd for a case in my opinion, for 60$ I would have expected the fingerprint cutout to be centered. If the Spigens thin fit could do it while keeping their cost ~20$ I would expect Pitaka to have a precise cutout as well. Another tangent about the price, if you look at the iPhone x model of this case, it comes with a tempered glass screen protector for the same price, which is not included with the Pixels so you're paying the same amount for less for the Pixel variant.

Overall, if you're a fan of thin cases and carbon fiber and the price isn't a problem, this would be a great case for you. I don't have a magnetic car mount to test the built in metal plate but I'll assume that works. When using this case, I'd recommend using a tempered glass screen protector as the case does not cover past the part where the glass and body meet.

If youre a fan of thin cases, but the price is too much for you. An alternative I suggest is to get a thin case (MNML or Thin fit) and just slap a dbrand skin on the back of it. For example, I have carbon fiber one on my 6p case and a marble one for the Pixel 2 XL. Pics can be found here (https://www.reddit.com/r/googlepixel/comments/79yksu) for me, I'll be sticking to the Magcase for the Pixel.

Also, this case fits a dbrand skin on the back if you use the precise version. I currently have a carbon fiber back with a matte glass skin on the back my phone and the Magcase comes on and off no problem.

Picture of off centered cutout is attached.

My magcase fits perfectly. Perfectly centered fingerprint and camera.

Agree on the tgsp comment. I also came from the Spigen thinfit, and that case did provide screen protection when placed facedown.

But the magcase is just at a much higher level.

Go with the invisishield tgsp and you have the best solution on the market between the magcase and invisishield

I'm glad someone has a perfectly centered fingerprint cutout. You can tell mine isnt and I can provide measurements if needed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Lily-PITAKA:
Hi Jackie,

1. We are truly sorry about the solution we discussed at PITAKA Help Center doesn't meet your expectation.

2. Actually, since we had the fingerprint cutout of this case improved, we'd never received any feedback about its "off-center" and we were not sure it was your personal thoughts (Just as it was mentioned above, the fingerprint sensor of your phone might be misleading) or it was our product's problem, you were kind enough to agree with the agreement: 10% refund, we really appreciated it. so we implemented it shortly.

3. It seems that you are not satisfied with the agreement yet. If possible, would you mind telling us more of your ideas to solve this problem? We can arrange an exchange for you, Frankly speaking, we are not sure if you would still think the same way or not after receiving it. but please be advised that any other solution comes to your mind will be highly appreciated.

4. Please feel free to contact us again at support@ipitaka.com, we are always here to help until getting this solved.

5. PITAKA aim to offer the premium product and service to each customer. We hope that each customer can have happy shipping experience with PITAKA. Your advice and feedback will be very helpful and valuable for us to make the improvement accordingly.

bluetooth share has stopped

Hi,

I have the same problem. If I switch on bluetooth, I get the message "Bluetooth Share has stopped". Actually I use the LineageOS 14.1 NIGHTLY-klte from 16.11.2017 with boeffla-kernel 4.0 stable. Modem G900FXXS1CQA9 Bootloader G900FXXS1CQI4.

Can anybody help me to activate bluetooth?

Thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] DarkQuark:
OK so this is totally self inflicted. At some point I was dinking around in the settings and the device asked me if I wanted to set a pin at startup. I went along with it and did that thinking it was a good idea. What it seems to have done (besides the startup pin) is encrypted the phone. Now technically everything works I can just enter my pin to boot to ROM or TWRP. But I want to remove the encryption and for the life of me I cannot find how to do that.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Here are notes on my situation:

-yes i searched the internets and XDA and mostly found stuff about the Nexus and OnePlus devices

-under security settings it just says "encrypted" there is no option to decrypt

-i have tried wiping and even formatting to different formats on data and system partitions

-tried different roms as well

-this is a Axon 7 U device

-running TWRP 3.1.1-0

-ROMs RR and Dark Rom

-obviously boot loader unlocked

Thank You
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bkores:
Remove your PIN and then add it back but this time when it asks you if you want the startup pin choose no thanks.

Startup pin IS encryption.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] DarkQuark:
I had tried that earlier and it did not work. What did work was doing doing a format data in twrp. I think mine was just stuck.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
i believe that's the only way to decrypt the phone. You can have your phone encrypted without jt asking for a pin or pattern and startup, and it happens every damn time you forget to flash supersu or magisk on first boot. If you flash another ROM later you'll have to format data, or it will fail if it is encrypted.

If your phone has TWRP I suggest that you go to it and format data, then install supersu/magisk via sideload or an sd card or otg without rebooting.

Sometimes my Note8 does not charge on my Samsung fast wireless charger. No, this is not a position issue.. Sometimes, it just doesn't charge. The solid bluelight of the wireless charger although turns on. The only way for me to wireless charge again in this state is for me to reboot the phone.

Anyone else run onto this? Very annoying and it happens at random times.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] adocorp:

I had the same issue when trying to use the older wireless charging stand. I think it's a power issue because I tried an older iPad charging block (one of the bigger ones that has higher wattage or voltage or whatever) and it charged fine on the older stand. It didn't say it was fast charging but it did charge faster than average. I think I'll just stick to the newer charging base I got from the Note 8 promotion.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
If it is not the case...

This issue has to do with power supply. Try different cables or wall plugs. I have had this issue in the past it could be sending too much or too little voltage. It blinks like that and turns off to protect your device from getting damaged.

I actually had to use an older wall plug to get my older wireless charging pad to work. The quick charge wall plug was pushing too much voltage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] NetStat404:
if I remove the case it works perfectly. With the case its the 10 second deal; However, I took your advice and switched out the charging brick to another samsung fast charger ( all i have to test with at the moment) and it looks like it may work. I will see if I have a better one at home but it may just be with the case its having to emit more power like you mentioned. not sure but ill try that out for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] adocorp:
I have three different but the same Samsung fast charger and I have issues on all three but at random times.. When it is not working, I just reboot my phone while on the charger and it starts charging again when Phone comes back up. I just dont get it.

Some say opencamera has better software for video stabilization, but have not tried it myself
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] choder:
Can anyone confirm if the Google camera port makes the video stabilization usable?

If anyone has video from another app besides the stock camera I would like to see EIS actually working.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] choder:
From the lack of responses, the video stability is just terrible. That's just too bad, I really wanted to purchase this phone, but I can't justify purchasing it with this poor video. I thought about the option of always uploading to YouTube and stabilizing it, but that's just too much of a hassle.

Maybe in the next software update it will fix the stability problems.

I guess using google photos app to stabilize the video might be a solution. https://goo.gl/Lt5oRu
