[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] vMAC:
Ok, so I went to the Google Store website and purchased the Verizon Panda (Black and White) version of the Pixel 2 XL.

It is my understanding that this phone, since purchased from the Google Store, should come with an unlocked bootloader. I have run through the settings to get it up and working and I can not get the OEM Unlocking to work.

I found the articles, though most of them were talking about the Pixel 2, not the 2XL, that stated you just needed to do a factory reset. I tried this and it didnt' work. So here's the questions:

If purchased from the Google Store should the Bootloader be locked?

Can the Panda version only be purchased on Verizon?

If the bootloader is locked on all Panda versions, what's the likelyhood of it being hacked?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Fe Mike:
Even though you bought from Google, if it's a Verizon variant your very likely not going to have an unlockable bootloader. There is a thread where people were returning their Verizon phones through Verizon and getting back a Google variant. If your stuck with Verizon phone the best you can hope for is a root exploit.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] gee2012:
Afaik it takes a few hours/days after setting up the phone for the Oem Unlocking option to show up. The bootloader is locked until the user unlocks it manualy.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] agtsoul:
You should return it to Google and get the unlocked version from them, it works just fine on Verizon. If you buy the Verizon phone from Google it will not come with an unlockable bootloader. Also, you can get a panda unlocked version from Google.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mikepopo99:
Make sure it connected to the internet then takes a few minutes to make it available.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] vMAC:
Thanks all for your responses. I just called Google and was told it will have a locked bootloader. So they RMA'd it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] trim81:
I had the same issue on my very first unit. I RMA it.

However I found that you MUST add your Google account to the phone in order for the pen unlocking option to turn on.

Like the others said above add your Google account and wait a few hours
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Deuces:
You don't have to add Google account, just connect to internet via Sim or WiFi, and it'll be available almost instantly

Also, yes, the Verizon variant is bootloader locked even from Google store

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Jeik:
Hey guys.

I was thinking about trying to make a profile which modifies a couple of things.

The thing is, the Moto Z supports the Moto Gamepad, and my idea was to make Tasker either react to the mod being connected or a button press on the mod.

The trigger(the mod being connected or the SELECT button on the mod being pressed) would then force the whole UI to go in Landscape and switch to a Nova Launcher backup which makes the launcher go to full Landscape and makes the launcher UI similar to the handheld console).

Detaching the mod or pressing SELECT would switch to the Portrait backup which would have the classic phone UI.

So far I only know how to make the SELECT button press a Tasker Intent through Button Remaper but I have no clue how to incorporate the intent into an action/profile.

I wanted to ask if anyone had a simplistic approach to it before trying to do it by myself.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] evo4g63t:
I really fancy LG phones especially post v10/g4 fiasco. I am debating upgrading between two devices. The Note 8 and v30. Had the Pixel 2 had expandable memory and a headphone jack I would have picked it against all others since they get the latest updates the quickest.

My v30 concerns are the following:

- glass back (what a stupid design, whats the point when you are going to wear a case that hides it anyway?), how is it holding up on this phone? Can it take falls?

- camera quality vs v20, better? Same? Worse? I am more concerned about the rear camera not the selfie camera but want to hear about both.

- the big one, battery life. Since I am going to have to give up one of the best features of LGs previous phones does this phone last all day with Bluetooth connected and playing music? I like the v20 cause I've got an extended battery so I don't have to worry about stupid mid day charges.

- "secondary screen" replacement software. Does it work as well as the real thing or is it just a pain in the ass? This is specifically for the folks that used the second screen on the previous generations.

.. And finally those who've upgraded from the v20 would you do it again? What's the pros and cons between the two?

Thanks for any input! [emoji2]
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TKFT44:
I upgraded from a V20 to a V30. The selfie cam is definitely worse, but the rear camera is at least as good if not better.

I find the battery life to be nothing short of stellar on the V30. Yesterday I had 17 hours off the charger, with 5 hours of screen on time when the battery hit 15%.

It seems to be pretty tough for a glass phone, but it's absolutely more fragile than the V20. I highly recommend using a case. I had a few minor drops without one and the metal edges will get dinged or scratched if it hits there in a drop. A few people have reported breaking the glass on the back, as well.

The floating bar in combination with the always on display is a decent replacement for the second screen, but I personally don't like having the arrow button on screen all the time.

The thing that I miss the most is the IR blaster for controlling my TV and sound bar, actually. I also think I slightly prefer the 16:9 aspect ratio of the V20's screen. Videos appear larger than they do on the 2:1 screen of the V30. The V30's OLED definitely blows the V20 LCD away, even if it's not as nice as a Samsung display might be, however.

Overall, I'm really happy with the phone and I'd upgrade again. It feels an entire age more modern to use this phone. The biggest change I noticed was the speed. Opening apps and multitasking and doing everything happens noticably quicker.

Oh yeah, and I still can't get over how dang lightweight and easy to hold the V30 is. It really did feel insubstantial at first, but I don't think I could go back after getting used to it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Josh McGrath:
I came from the v10 to the V20 to the s8 less than a month (HATED IT!) And now to the V30.

Love it all around except for the front camera which seems like it went from a great camera to an average one.

I absolutely loved the 2nd screen on my V20. But it's not a deal breaker not having it. The floating bar thing is annoying to me.

It's also faster, it seems. Better looking phone. I hate glass casing around phones but I always have a tech21 case so meh

Screen is awesome on the V30. Much improvement. However, I'd like the 16x9 ratio back as well but you wouldn't notice if someone didn't tell you.

Battery seems great now, but it's too new to tell how the battery degrades over time. I was having to charge my V20 2 or 3 times a day.

This is also the first device I've ever ran without root, adguard is the gift of that.

I miss the ir blaster somewhat. Overall, you'd be very happy if you went from the 20 to the 30 :)

You may visit it instead of mine because it'll be kept up-to-date, should be there any changes, as opposed to mine, which I won't update now that PDAdb.net offers a dynamically updated chart.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Dliunatic:
Hi! Long time reader, fist time caller here :) So I have a Sprint LG V30+ and have noticed a few issues over the last month and was wondering if it's just me.

Issue 1: Sometimes when picking up a call with speakerphone it'll work then suddenly switch to handheld audio. I end up having to toggle the speakerphone off and on again to fix it. It consistently happens if I'm on a call and someone else tries calling me.

Issue 2: Volume control sometimes thinks it's controlling Bluetooth audio even when Bluetooth is not enabled. Again a quick toggle of Bluetooth usually resolves this but it's still a pain.

Anyone seeing any of the above issues with their phone and have any suggestions on how to resolve them?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] roh756:
Hey, Sprint customer here too.. I have very less earpiece volume even though its set to max. And also I am not happy with the call audio. My LG v20 gives me far better call audio than this. I dont know if this is the problem with the network or software. :(
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] uzupan:
My ear piece volume is loud for me where I turn it down a notch or two and I have hearing problems. This phone is louder in the ear piece than my iPhone 7 plus. The speaker is not as loud. I have the t mobile model.

Sprint V30+ as well. I have very low earpiece volume while on a call but none of the other issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] evo4g63t:
I've been with LG about 2 years now and I miss my stylus of the note 3. However the audio quality of the v20 does make an impression.

My concerns with the phone is this:

- glass body, can it take drops? I am getting conflicting reports that it's really fragile and other reports it's one of the toughest.

- battery life, will it last all day without a charge whole connected to Bluetooth? One of the big perks of the v20 is you can get extended batteries which I then don't have to worry about a stupid mid day charge. I use a clip portable speaker at work in which it will be connected to most of the time to play music.

- Camera speed. Does the camera have shutter lag? I've seen quality videos on YouTube and it seems pretty good in that category probably better than this v20.

- the biggest problem I have by far with Samsung is all the junkware they install. Can most of this stuff be disabled without root? (i.e. Package Disabler) I rooted my note 3 just to get it running smoothly but those were better days where root was pretty easy to do.

- stylus performance, is it like writing on paper or is it laggy? My son has a stylo 3 and while it works ok it's not responsive like my note 3 was.

With so many top notch phones out now the choice is harder than ever. Especially since there is no removable battery flagship phones.

Thanks for any comments or suggestions. [emoji2]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Glass body = fragile. Corningware claims GG5 can survive a 6 foot drop onto rough surfaces 80% of the time. My wife dropped her S8+ about 6 inches into a stool at the gym and cracked the screen. I saw it happen.

GG5 is also very soft. It scratches very easy in my experience. So plan on a case, a good screen protector, and just treat it like...well...GLASS. LOL.

Battery life is very good. I listen to music via Bluetooth earbuds for about 1.5 to 2 hrs at the gym, while receiving text messages, emails, and FB messages and usually only lose a couple a few percent in battery. But I've never left it off charger and on BT all day though, so I don't know. Id say just get you a wireless charger to set it on.

Camera is AMAZING. No lag that I've noticed. 2x OPTICAL zoom, not digital. And the Pixel2 camera has been ported. I love it.

As far as junkware... I'm a Nexus/Pixel guy. I've had a few Sammy's and use to agree about Touchwiz and Sammy apps. Now, I like the Samsung Experience software and the native Samsung apps. They integrate so smoothly, and the exclusive S-Pen features are really nice. But if you have to debloat, a search here will tell you how to do it

I don't see any lag in the S-Pen. I love using it just for navigating, but also for Smart Select, copy and paste ANYTHING, taking notes, etc...

Your best bet is to find a friend with one or go to Best Buy and just play with one. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr.Ash.Man:
To be fair... The galaxy S8 is totally different to the Note 8, and yes the S8 is easy to smash. The S8s corners are so round :eek:

However I've not seen this with the Note 8. (But ofcourse glass is glass) it's just the S8 is so damn easy to smash, comparison is unfair :p

OP - Maybe check out Jerryrigeverything's durability test on YouTube, he does scratch tests on there too, personally I never use a screen protector and have never scratched any of my GG5 smartphones. But that's down to the user really and how you treat it.

I gave my S7Edge to the misses and she's scratched the hell out of it in a couple weeks :laugh:

IMHO though I think the Note8 is hands down the best on the market at the moment, and I'm not hoping much for the S9 but may upgrade to a Note 9 :)

(Pre-ordered mine and had it for a few months now)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] larman:
I left the V20 to go back to Samsung with the Note 8

My best phone so far by far!

Glass body, I use a good silicone skin the covers the corners with enough buffer that I'm not worried. I also suggest at least a curved plastic screen protector if not a good curved tempered glass although I haven't seen much on the market that actually fits properly.

As for battery life, I'm always near a QC 2.0 Charger at home / office / in car so I just charge when I can. It really depends on your screen on time, that's usually the culprit. I never bothered with a second battery for the V20 and both these phone have Quick charging so invest in a portable Aukey or Tronsmart QC power bank.

The camera has really no lag in comparison with my previous phones: V20 / Note 7 / S7Edge / Note 4 / S4.... It opens quick and shoots quicker, slower with flash of course. Love the 2x optical zoom. I found the V20 to take inferior pictures and the wide angle skewed edges to be quite annoying.

Not going to root this phone. I like it the way it is. I use Nova Launcher which is smooth and trying out MS Launcher currently, also nice.

Stylus is my main reason for returning back to the Note series. I was very turned off with the Note 7 recall so I ended up with LG. The stylus is great with nice software implementation. It's not paper but writes accurately.

Hope this helps.

[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] anoop_rk:
Hi everyone

I recently bought a used Huawei P9 Plus at a bargain. At first, I didn't find anything wrong with the device. But as soon as brought it home and started using it, I found that the Google search bar and the home screen icons appear on the back of the screen when I open any app. I searched the internet for a while and found that all amoled displays were prone to this condition called "screen burn-in" and maybe I was also experiencing the same problem. So my query is can any of you suggest a working solution to this. At least can I bring the screen back to normal even a little bit? Any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] Brontok:
Unfortunately no, it cant be fixed. It`s a hardware issue. I have burn in on my p9 plus (status bar and nav bar are completely white, with everything between being yellow-ish). If I crank up the brightness its not noticeable, but on the other hand, its really noticeable in dim environments (at night when the brightness is set to 0)

Hello dear XDA members out there. I just found my Fire tablet again, after months (in a backpack I don't use anymore). It is currently running FireOS 5.4.0.0, it already downloaded the update to, Probably, 5.6. Is there any way to stop the update in this state? Because AFAIK, they changed bootloader stuff 5.4.0.1, which I don't want on my device, just in case this fxckers built in another bottle to lock people out by preventing downgrades.
