XDA and OnePlus community has something new everyday, so is just you have to read read read, download and try installing. Next day you will find updated version of App, update. If you don't like latest update, revert back to old version.

All about community is to try beta versions and help developers by feedback and having fun modifying your device with your choice.

You will find many versions of same app, bxuz they all offer special kinda tweaks from different developers.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shandar:
Im pretty sure it is quite difficult to make since I vaguely remember something along the lines of the GSM radio taking over the microphone & speaker while on a call which means the OS can't get to the sound input/output without a lot of hacks and tricks.

Besides, doing live digital voice changing would cause a lag and increase the CPU usage a fair bit so expect the battery to drain..

Is there any way to unlock the SIM on it without requesting it from the network provider?

Aren't all PIxel's SIM-unlocked?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mademan420:
This ^
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Don_Perrignon:
I think they're all unlocked unless you get a Verizon version. Even then, I believe the Verizon version is unlocked, but a locked down boot loader, with a a few radios optimized for their network.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] danlat1415:
No, not all Pixels are unlocked.

In the UK, the provider EE (T-Mobile) I've found out that the Pixels are locked to EE for 2 years, when Google release and auto-unlock.

You can request EE unlock the phone, but only after 6 months of payments.

This is not the usual sim-lock, where you would type a code in, this appears to be server enforced rather than phone.

T-Mobile have many linked networks, when normally a locked phone would work on any linked network as long as it was same carrier. not in this case.

It will only work on EE.

Caution to anyone in the UK buying...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
In general, you don't unlock the SIM card itself, the device needs to be carrier unlocked. As far as I know, all Pixels come carrier unlocked already. All you do is put a SIM in it from a different carrier. Have you already tried this? What carrier are you on now? Your location and carrier are not listed in your profile.... why not fill those in?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] danlat1415:
I'm in the UK. I'm currently on EE, but also have O2 and ID networks.

When I put a sim card in the phone that isn't EE, the phone loads fine, but then I get a message at the top that says;

"SIM card isn't supported - Ask EE UK whether this device can be unlocked. Tap here for contact details."

When I tap it, it takes me to EE's website.

This seems to be software related as I've not seen a phone do that before for a network lock.

I've just found this on EE's website;

New from October 2016 - Google SIM Lock

Some Android devices bought under a monthly contract directly from EE now feature Google SIM Lock which locks the device to the EE network for the length of the contract from the day of activation. This will only allow the device to work on the EE network.

If another network’s SIM is inserted into the device, it will display the message 'SIM card isn’t supported, ask EE if this device can be unlocked. Tap for contact details.'

I need to see if this can be unlocked.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] danlat1415:
It seems to only be UK EE network that does this.

It's called Google SIM Lock

It managed by Google

They apparently did it with the original Pixel as well.

Does anyone know how I can get round this or use a service to do it?

EE won't agree it until after 6 months.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
in sha allah, danlat! :laugh: Maybe you should be moaning with this lot over HERE. You knew full well what you were signing up to. Had you already entered your location *and* carrier into your profile, this would have taken a lot less time to suss out. Go ahead and whinge away... over there. Do your 6 months time and afterwards pay your £8.99 to unlock it. NEVER buy a carrier locked phone, ever.

If it's a true Google P2XL, and not the Verizon variant, you can follow the instructions in this guide if you want to unlock your bootloader and possibly root.

Hi, I have purchased Google Pixel 2 XL from eBay but it came with EE SIM Lock, my concern is this device can be bootloader locked? (still on android 8.1 Orei). I have seen there is a way to unlock the SIM Lock so that's not an issue
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
I don't know the answer to your question but it won't be hard to find out. Enable developer options and look for the toggle to allow OEM unlocking. If it is greyed out or stuck in the off position, then you will not be able to unlock using fastboot. There are several guides on how to unlock and they all start with this step.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] NingaR:
sorry! I bought a Pixel 2 XL with EE UK SIM Lock, I called EE UK and agreed to unlock it(waiting for the unlock) and paid the £8.99, my concern is, will it be able to unlock the bootloader after the SIM Lock is lifted?

---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------

thanks, I'll wait for Google to unlock it and see for myself
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
I have seen quite a few reports from EE phones that once they unlock the SIM you are also able to unlock the bootloader. So I am hopeful.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] NingaR:
Google U locked the Device after 24hrs, and I was able to unlock the bootloader, seems like you can't with carrier lock but once its lifted the bootloader can be unlocked.

Thank you all.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wbgenetic:
Hey guys - I am looking at an ebay PIxel phone that is locked to EE ... the seller says that the phone is blacklisted in the UK ?

Does this mean that I could operate it in another country a.k.a unlock it myself?

Or I rather steer away from such phone as it's unlockable per se .. .?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] NingaR:
to my knowledge in order for Google to unlock the device it needs nor to be blacklisted, why not ask the seller to call EE UK and have them ask Google to unlock the device? EE UK first needs to check if the device meets all the criteria to be unlocked.

I bought a Pixel 2 XL from AliExpress(advertised as unlocked) but was locked to EE UK the seller asked me to call EE UK and give them the IMEI Number and they unlocked the device for £8.99 in just 24hrs, so better be cautious as you won't be able to use the device if it's not locked.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wbgenetic:
Would this work for a non-UK resident, a.k.a. basically residing outside UK .. .:?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] NingaR:
No it won't work in any network, inside or outside of UK as long as it's locked to EE UK, only works with EE UK SIM card
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wbgenetic:
So either buy unlocked or pass. Thanks for the info!

Will keep searching .. + after Oct 9th the prices will surely drop.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] NingaR:
You can buy EE UK Locked with clean IMEI and have EE UK unlock it, I bought brand new 2XL from AliExpress a china online shop 128GB for 550USD and it came with EE UK SIM Lock, called EE UK and they U locked the Device, so if you're satisfied with the item buy it but if you doubt just pass and find another shop.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wbgenetic:
Thanks, that's actually valuable info.

How can one check if the IMEI is blacklisted though ? Calling EE UK only?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] NingaR:
Only way to know for sure is to call EE UK, I would suggest that have the seller unlock the device and then buy it you don't need to bare the trouble of unlocking it
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wbgenetic:
Well I asked the seller what the case is ... he said that the phone can be unlocked, but the phone is blacklisted with all UK Carriers and he asks me in which country I might use the phone ... sounds like a stolen item if you ask me ...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=2067291]wbgenetic[/MENTION]: While that's possible, a more likely scenario is that the original owner failed to keep up with the monthly payments. In that case, the UK carriers would blacklist the device to prevent it from being used on British soil.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wbgenetic:
[MENTION=283310]vulcan[/MENTION] - I've asked specifically why it is blacklisted and here is the response:

"I lost the phone at one point so i had to ring the provider to block it i then found it the next day. Because i had no insurance i'm left paying £45 a month contract with a phone that cant be used, i'm hoping to sell it so i can pay some of the remaining contract off."

I have doubts if I should buy it ...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=2067291]wbgenetic[/MENTION]: Buy it from Swappa. It may cost you a bit more but you won't have to deal with the IMEI being blacklisted.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wbgenetic:
Thanks - will check the website out. Never heard of it before tbh ... Wonder if they make international shipments though or is US only?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I suspect the person who posted a dodgy link to a site no one has ever heard of thinks it will work on a Verizon P2XL. It's probably a repackaged version of DePixel8, which does not work on the P2XL at all, and probably installs malware to boot.

Halabtech is a trusted source for firmware and solutions. Anyway what the software does is uninstall specif apks relating to the pixel carier lock similar to how the some of the old lg devices where carrier unlocked but it is temporary after resting youll have to re do the program.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Says you. Why do none of the major tech sites point to there? Why have none of us ever heard of it?

See my point? You can claim it's a trusted source, but you're dealing with a bunch of tech heads: power users, programmers, tinkerers. Admittedly, the site also has a lot of average joes, but the point is a lot of us should have heard of this site if we've been doing this for a sufficient amount of time. We haven't, and thus your claim is questionable.

As for what the program does, people have tried that in the Verizon bounty thread here. They failed to unlock the device.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] awireless:
So your saying if you haven't heard of it then its not a trusted source? Its whatever though, this website is a valuable source in the work ive done has a bunch of cool tools lots of stuff you can learn the stuff on there is from people like us on XDA who sell the tools to the site owner who sells it to everyone and pays the original owner. Its not my fault you dont want to branch out and learn, this site offers stuff like solutions to free EXY unlocks on a lot of the newer devices and one of the first i saw to have binary 9 engineering root for S7 and S7 edge. Dont just call things a scam without first investigating it the owner has amazing customer support as well on whatsapp not associated in any way but this site probably has saved me over $5K worth of credits i would have lost through tools like chimera and z3x.

Do you have a link to the thread where people tried the script out im curios to what people did?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
No. I'm saying your word isn't sufficient to engender trust of a website no one has ever heard of.

Insults won't help your position. They just make you look weak.

I didn't. But you've given no reason for anyone to trust it.

P. S. Not providing a link as it's right here on XDA. Use the search engine, as that is what it is there for.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] awireless:
Lol okay bro the top download on the website has over 37k download so at least that many people know about the website so stop saying stuff look into it yourself instead of just assuming no ones heard of it.

And help people learn i dont know what specific thread your talking about and im curious to see what they where trying im just trying to help offer up solution you say someone has tried it let me see so maybe they over looked something or maybe its only for sprint or something.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
37,000? That's...approximately .005% of the membership of this site. Not impressive at all.

And help people learn? How about they learn to help themselves first. The search engine is there. Your fingers aren't broken. Instead of wasting time with useless rants about how great an unknown site is, how about flexing those finger muscles and that lump on top of your shoulders and find it yourself?

End of discussion.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] awireless:
I thought insults make someone look weak?

You state there is so many people on this website meaning tons and tons of data im not gonna sit here for an hour looking through threads trying to find a specif thing you where mentioning just link it or dont mention it.

Have you got it working? If so, how?

Thanks
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tech_head:
It doesn't work.

Non-Verizon phones do not have VVM support.

You will need to use GV and use that (free) to get VVM functionality.

You setup a GV number and forward non-answered calls to that number and have it go straight to VM.

You then can use the GV app for VVM.

Also please search before starting a new thread.

Any ideas?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Know issue on 8.1, the fix will require an update from TWRP. Two options.

Remove your PIN password finger print from settings before you boot to TWRP and put it back when done.

Or copy the files you want to flash to a USB drive. Hook it to the phone with the adapter that came with the phone. In TWRP hit cancel instead of entering a password and then hit install. Then hit select storage and select the USB.
