Good idea, I’ve just loaded Waze and tried the voice, pretty cool.

Shame about google maps is great to just say ok google where’s good to eat without even having to touch anything.

I also emailed the video to the seller who said I must have done something in settings ?*♂️.

They also said the green phone button only lights up when receiving a call as well, and when I said it doesn’t at all said it doesn’t need too. Going off them rapidly ??

Anyone have a good link or recommendation for Bluetooth settings on viper?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] myprecious:
It depends on the equipment you're using. I've got different settings for car audio or Bluetooth speakers etc.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] kauemelhado:
I have disabled Viper due to Bluetooth issues!

Some apps didn't play any sound while connected on bluetooth, and then, suddenly my Spotify started to get some delays to play music (it plays 1sec of music, then 2 secs of mute, then the music continues normally)... This happens everytime I switched songs..

After that, I disabled Viper and it was working fine.. =(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] matt1313:
Use arise with arise or audiophile profile. Disable battery optimization on viper to stop the pause every few seconds.

Works great for me.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Taebom:
I use WETA's sound profile for Viper. Got these .irs files from his mod back on the old pixel. He has presets for every tab including bluetooth. Love his settings, this pack also includes some others. Just unzip the file and copy contents to your viper4android folder on sd card then load profile from viper app. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M8i_u_wwn-XKHedaWMpY7JJN_5nVzIRA/view?usp=sharing All credit goes to Mentalmuso for his presets.

Can't find a fix to this anywhere

I can't make any calls or connect to 4G. So far I've tried resetting network settings, triple checking my APN settings, I've even got a new sim card but still nothing.

When I make a call it says 'not registered on network'

It won't even let me automatically connect in network operators.

I've even done a full factory reset but that didn't work either

Last week the phone worked fine but now the only thing that works on it is WiFi

Anyone know how to fix?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mike710_0:
Not sure too be honest. I bought it on eBay about 6 months ago. It's worked perfectly fine up until now.

Don't understand how it just stopped working. I've even updated it to the latest official firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] SOGKush420:
go to settings --> apps---> show the system apps and go to phone app and clear data of it

go to sim toolkit then and clear the data too if there are more then 1 then do it for all and try to reboot

if that doesnt work

type *#06# and check if u see ur imei

if u dont see it ur ****d up ur efs
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mike710_0:
Thanks for your reply

It didn't work though. I cleared the data on 3 of the phone apps data & 2 of the sim toolkit.

My imei does show when doing *#06#

When I restart the phone I just get a ? symbol top right. It eventually disappears and I have 2 bars signal but I still can't make any calls, texts or have 4G though

Just to confirm it IS my phone causing the problem as my sim card works fine in my wife's s8 plus. It's not the sim tray either causing the problem as I've tried hers with the same result

On what network was this phone previously used. The best thing to do is to contact the carrier and try to fix it with them

https://store.google.com/product/moshi_usb_c_hdmi_adapter

Google officially sells this adapter and I double checked with google support and specifically asked if this works with the pixel 2 PHONE and not just the pixel book. Their response was "yes this was specifically designed to work with the pixel 2 phone". I didn't want to pay $50 so I found what I thought was the exact same thing on amazon for about half the price. It was still the Moshi USB-C to HDMI Adapter. When i got it in I could not get it to work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I couldn't get it to show anything via HDMI. So I was thinking... ok maybe the Google store version is just slightly different since the support said it should work. The other option is support was just wrong and didnt know what they were talking about. My question is does anyone have this and can anyone confirm the Pixel 2 does HDMI out? I dont want to waste money buying the $50 adapter if it doesnt work and then have to send it back.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jumpman1229:
I believe support had no idea what they were talking about. The Pixel phones do no support video out of any kind through the UBS-C port

Hi everyone.

I was hoping someone could help me. I have a Kaiser and have tried to crush an .avi file with PocketdivxEncoder. Everything appeared to have worked fine, but when i tried to play the encoded file on the phone - i got the error message "Cannot Play the file".

Disheartening to say the least. I was wondering if anyone come accross thos or a similiar problem and had discovered a way to make it work. Is this codec issue or something more troubling.

Thanks in advance. Incidiently...yes I am very much a newbie :o - so hoping for the kindness of some strangers here!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lpaso:
you can't read divx with WMP.

Use TCPMP or CorePlayer to play them ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tikiri007:
TCPMP

I had a look at the TCPMP and there seem to be a helluva lots choices! Any pointers as to what i should be downloading - and what plugins?

cheers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] XtreMe_G:
the version you want is 0.72rc1, dont need any plugins if all you wanna watch is the divx files. however i can suggest flash video bundle, that would allow you to watch youtube and other flash streaming videos
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
Core will play video the best as they've added support for Tilt/Kaiser's "QTV" driver which gives about 35% better playback performance on my divx videos encoded with PDXE. It costs some money, but it's good stuff.

Here's TCPMP which will work OK as long as you keep your video's a reasonable size, say 320x240 with a total bitrate under 500kps.

For Divx you won't need any plug-ins, set to use "raw framebuffer" and you are good to go.

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jco23:
If you're like me, you've been waiting to buy the Pixel 2 to see if the price drops. VZW has been offering to give folks 50% off if they trade in CERTAIN devices (mostly ones that are less than a year old).

For Black Friday, VZW is again offering 50% off WITHOUT a trade-in.... BUT, you must switch to their unlimited plan. For those that are already on the unlimited plan, this is a good deal.

But the idea is that VZW is trying to get folks that are not unlimited to move to their unlimited plan.

In my situation, I share 3 GB/month with my wife (got a bonus 1 GB, so really 4GB) for $45/month. I then pay $20/month per line for a total of $85/month (2 lines). we have never gone over 4 GB, so there is no advantage for us to go unlimited.

If we go to the unlimited plan, we would have to pay $65/month per line for a total of $130/month.

The Pixel 2 50% off is spread out over 24 months in bill credits after I pay the full retail price up front. In doing so, VZW will credit me $13.50/month. And in order to keep receiving the credits, you have to remain on the unlimited plan for the duration.

So in essence, I'd be paying $45/month EXTRA just to save $13.5.

Over the span of 24-months, I would have paid $1080 in fees, netting $325 from the "promo", thus paying an extra $755.

Conversely, I can just buy the Pixel 2 outright for $650. My understanding is that Black Friday is supposed to give discounts, not ways for folks to pay more than retail.

Even if they offered the Pixel 2 for free, then I would still say now as I would be out $430 just to get unlimited data that I don't use.

understood that everyone's situation is different, but hoping that this will give folks some pause before considering buying from VZW. and I normally have no issues with VZW, but now I do.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Great post and entirely correct. I've been on the phone with VZW each day for the past few discussing this issue. Even the reps who were waiting for bf deals are in a bind. The only way even they could get the deals they want is to upgrade to unlimited.

Now that being said there are some deals to be made depending on your history with them. For instance, if you go to automatic billing there is a discount of around $25 / month. You might also be able to get further discounts if you push a little. I'm on a much larger plan than you are and after all was said and done the unlimited (which will give me hotspot too) will be costing me about $10 / month more over my current plan. But over the life of the plan that is still $600 for phone and plan and almost the cost of the device outright. But I will get unlimited and hotspot so it's probably worth it since I did bump up against my limit a month or so ago.

I'm not sure why they are doing this since as you said, this is not a deal for those that don't need unlimited. If you already are on it then it's an easy decision. Now the only caveat possibly is that in the future the unlimited plan will drop in price and you can take advantage of it without losing the promotion. But that's just wishful thinking. Verizon might need to rethink this deal when it doesn't get the customers that bf usually gets.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jco23:
right. and just last year, their BF promo (for my wife's iPhone, and I think for the Pixel 1) was simply $450 off - no trade in, no plan change - just they issue you the rebate in monthly installments (which I'm fine with, as this is essentially a 2-year contract).

so I was greatly disappointed that the same promo is not available this year. hopefully, they'll adjust in the coming weeks.

but I, too, called and complained - even made the sales reps realize that it doesn't make sense for me to switch. I essentially asked them to give me a reason why I should buy it from them and not from Google. best response I got was, "they don't waive the activation fee".
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
I just don't know what they are thinking other than getting everyone on unlimited plans. I'd take that but they needed to do something else like upgrade to unlimited and free phone, or if you have unlimited then half off phone. Naturally that doesn't make much sense but I will not let up on them. I'll go for it but it won't be the last they hear from me.

I have a call coming in Friday for the order but let's see what pops up tomorrow. I just don't think there are very many happy campers. If Google gives 200 bucks off it's a different ball game. But they won't. If the Mrs didn't need another phone desperately I'd hold off thru the new year. This is s bunch of crap imo.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sdsurferbob:
$25 off for auto pay? That can't be right, or at least not that simple. For a family plan or something, minimum of 4 lines?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
I have 5 lines but yeah, $25 off with autopay. That's what she told me yesterday and I'll know for certain tomorrow morning when I do the order. I will let you know for sure.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jco23:
That sounds like $5/line which is what I though I read too.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Oh... so that's what it is. Then I got an extra $15 / month but don't know why. I think she said I had a good record or something. I didn't question her too hard hoping she was just doing a good deed. As I said, I'll know for sure in a few hours. If she doesn't call then I'll know I've been had. Won't be the first or last time. Bottom line, I won't pay over 10 bucks extra / month + the $375 for the device. I'd just get the Google version for 650 and be done with it. Or keep my Pixel for another year.

BTW, Black Friday sucks this year. It's really black Thursday morning. Had some stuff in my cart, went to check out after looking for a little bit more and the stuff was removed as not available any longer. What a joke. Couple of Best Buy things and jeans at a great price at another store. Ridiculous.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Ok, just got off with the rep. You are right, it's $5 / line discount plus she gave me an extra $15 / month off because I'm a good customer I think. In store pickup later today, 64gb version almost blue. Bottom line is that I'll be paying about $20 / month more for the Pixel 2 with unlimited vs my old 12gb plan and I have hotspot to boot. I think that's a pretty good deal for the phone.

My wife gets rid of her S5 finally and inherits the Pixel which surprisingly is bootloader unlockable. (switch is toggled although I don't bl unlock anyway) Wondering if when I switch the device to her line they'll make it grayed out. Not a big deal either way. I think if I leave the switch to on then even when I activate her account it will remain on as long as I set her up on wifi first. We'll see.

Oh one more thing.. they waived the $30 activation fee too. Plus I think I'll get about $45 for her phone once I send it in. Pristine condition so I should get something. All in all a pretty good BF morning so far. Still pissed about my laptop fiasco at Best Buy and my jeans but you can't win 'em all.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jco23:
Went with the S8. $350 off at Best buy. So far, so good. Larger battery, 3.5mm jack, wireless charging, and able to root (although have not done it yet). Plus, I get to keep my plan. I'm going to ask them to waive the upgrade fee too.

Doubt I'll come back here unless the pixel 2 is offered for free.

So wishing you and everyone else all the best.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mhamann:
I too was disappointed by Verizon's black friday deals (and really everyone else's also more or less). However, I had a very weird experience with VZW...

I got on their website Thursday mid-morning to just see what a Pixel 2 would cost if I went unlimited, bought it normally, etc. I added it to my cart and went through the checkout process, but it never actually prompted me to upgrade to unlimited. The only option I even saw was keeping my existing plan, which is the Verizon Plan 4GB.

When I got to the final checkout screen, my monthly total for the phone itself showed $13.50 and my plan still showed the 4GB plan. So, I went ahead and put the order through. When I got the receipt, it too listed the $13.50 monthly price.

So, I have documentation FROM Verizon giving me a Pixel 2 for $13.50/mo without going unlimited.

That said, I suspect they will conveniently "forget" to apply the actual credits to my account each month and I'll have to fight them tooth and nail to get anything. But hey, I have screenshots and a receipt proving that they "goofed" and I see no legal standing for them not honoring it. /shrug
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jco23:
Very jealous.

I tried that same approach on multiple times, but to no avail. Perhaps did you indicate that you were trading in your current device? So make sure you do not owe them a device you don't have.

The deal prior to Friday was trade in an eligible device to get a certain % off (up to 50%) with no need to adjust your plan.

The deal on Friday was to up your plan to unlimited, but no trade in required.

As for me, Best buy offered the Samsung Galaxy S8 for $350 off with no strings attached. So I got it. Pretty happy so far.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jco23:
Looks like VZW is finally offering g $300 off the pixel 2. Only stipulation is that you must pay in full up front, and then VZW will issue you bill credits over 24 months.

I would have been fine with this had I not already got my S8.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
So are they charging the full amount up front or over the course of 24 months? The way it worked for me on black Friday was that I was charged the monthly $27 and then a credit applied for $13 each month. Is this the same or different?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jco23:
So it looks they're advertising it to be $14.58/month, so perhaps no payment upfront.

I told a friend that bought 2 of them a few weeks ago, and they were able to return it and get the new price. But he did not open them yet.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Yeah, that makes more sense. They lock you in to a 2 year contract kind of because you can't pay it off. If you want to then you have to pay the full amount of $650 even if it's a month away from the end of 2 years.

Now what they should do is anyone who purchased within the return period of 15 days I think it is, charge them the $35 restocking fee (which your friend will probably have to pay for each returned device) and give them the discount without having to return the device.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jco23:
I don't think he paid the restocking fee since he never opened them.

Still contemplating on returning/selling my S8 for this deal.

But then I'd give up a bigger battery, wireless charging, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Even for the fee it's worth it. Still saves 265 bucks.

Now to your situation.. the battery on the pixel 2 is great and on the XL even better. I don't think that should be of major concern unless you live in the boonies with no access to power for 24 hours. Wireless charging? Haven't had that since my N5 and miss it only for nostalgia. Headphone? Agree.. but get a good wireless pair and use the adapter for the current ones.

But this is a personal choice you need to make and I'm no one to make judgment either way. I really don't think you can go wrong no matter what you decide.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jco23:
hoping you're right. i'd prefer the bloatless google version, but those 3 items are deal-breakers for me. i came from the moto droid turbo, which had all of those (3900 mAh battery). so I didn't want to give up any of those items. wireless charging is such bonus. however, if the pixel 3 has wireless charging and a bigger battery, then I'll consider switching next year.

I presume we'll get the same offers as this year - as I see a pattern forming with VZW:

- early October/November: offer $100 off

- late November: offer $300 off with a trade in

- black friday: something stupid to boost their quota

- week after black friday: offer more reasonable deals
