That is a hardware issue and I experienced it with my phone too. Don't know why it does that, but replacing the charging module in the bottom seems to fix the issue. My guess is that the charging module itself is fried and the charger can't recognize the phone.

Hi there, total noob here. I've looked around to find what I'm looking for but can't find anything solid, though I'm sure it's here somewhere. If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great....basically my Pixel 3 XL sh*t itself, not sure if it was hacked or what but after a factory reset I can't log in using a pin, I've tried logging in using my Google account but it just says 'please log in using an account of the owner' even though I get a security notification via email. I assume to be able to use my device again I will need to flash it with a stock os using a computer? Please help as I really want to be able to use this phone again. Some details of my device:

Product version: crosshatch MP1.0(ROW)

Bootloader version: b1c1-0.2-6085603

Baseband version: g845-00096-200114-B-6134206

Secure boot: Production

NOS production: yes

DRAM: 4GB Micron LPDDR4X

UFS: 64GB Micron

Device state: Locked

Boot slot: b

Enter reason: combo key

Any help is appreciated!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] muhammad42620:
Reflash

I don't know about the PIN problem but you definitely need to reflash the OS but don't do it the normal way because that will wipe the system and data. You need to flash the OS to the slot A and then set the default to A as well. If you need further help then you can reply, PM me or add me on Telegram: +923327138007
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bloibler:
Thanks Muhammad. As I said I am a total noob so I if you can direct me as to how to flash a standard os (I don't want to root right now, just get back to normal) that would be great. It can't be done OTA so I will need to know how to download the right stuff and procedure involved. Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] muhammad42620:
Sure

Sure. All you need to do is download this image here: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/crosshatch-qq3a.200805.001-factory-38ae2ec5.zip

Then, extract the zip file inside the zip you downloaded and then copy product.img and system. IMG to your adb and fastboot tools folder. After doing that plug your phone in while powered on and then run this command:

adb reboot bootloader

After that run these commands:

fastboot flash product_a product.img

fastboot flash system_a system.img

fastboot --set-active_a

Let me know what happens.

My Pixel 3 XL and the Samsung smart TV are on the same network and connected by Bluetooth. I can use the phone as a TV remote with the Samsung SmartThings app. But in settings>connected devices>connection preferences>cast, it says"not connected" and there are no devices listed.

Hi, are there any Pixel 3 XL models that cannot be rooted?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] muhammad42620:
Cannot be rooted or can be rooted? If it's the former then the carrier lacked models such as the Verizon and T-Mobile one. Other than that the UK models that are carrier locked cannot be rooted. Other than that all models can be rooted because they are unlocked

Interesting. I have non Verizon model pixel 3 XL and when I unlock the bootloader my sim doesn't work. On stock 11, stock August build of 10, and 2 custom ROMs I tried.

I've never seen this before on any phone I've had. Anyone have any ideas? I'd love to run a custom rom or kernel to get better battery life.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] muhammad42620:
It could be that your phone's modem is being wiped, but that is sometimes impossible. You could, however, reflash some parts of the OS from fastboot except system, product, boot and bootloader. If that does not fix it, it could be a bigger problem

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Risingsunn:
Good afternoon all,

I acquired my Pixel 3 XL second hand and already running Android 11. Everything on the phone works great, EXCEPT that the Bluetooth range is under 2 feet. I have spent hours pouring through the forums to find an answer (so yes, I have done my due dilligence;)). I have tried factory resetting the phone, resetting the play store, clearing the cache, tweaking Bluetooth settings in Dev Options, but nothing seems to work. I know my headset is not the issue as it has great range on my older Galaxy S6. I know I may have missed something though, but I have all but given up hope of getting it corrected. I am thinking about possibly going to a custom ROM to see if that would work.

My question is would a custom ROM have the same Bluetooth issues? Obviously, if it is hardware, then a new ROM will not make any difference, I just want to get as much info as possible before I jump into flashing it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Josh D

EDIT: So I flashed to latest Lineage 18, and no luck. The Bluetooth range is still 2-3 ft before it starts stuttering. For grins and giggles, and since I read that people started having the issue after the first android 10 updates, I flashed all the way back to the second Android 9 stock ROM available, still no luck. So my issue seems like a hardware problem. Really bums me out, I was loving it too. First used phone I have had that I did not feel the need to install a custom ROM on. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ C'est la vie.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] digitalmatrixio:
Any suggestions on how to successfully 'fastboot flashing unlock'? I can issue the command and select the option on the phone to unlock but then the screen blanks for 10 minutes before sending me back to the bootloader with the phone still locked.

Back story:

After this month's patch my 3 XL started rebooting daily. I Went through and cleared out a ton of apps to no avail. Completed a factory reset and did NOT allow Google to restore the phone and with no additional apps installed only automatically updating the ones on the base install with it still rebooting daily. Once I realized this was potentially going to be an issue with something in the image I selected the option to allow unlocking in dev settings.

More details about the issue:

When getting into the bootloader and issuing the 'fastboot flashing unlock' the device appears to operate normally - I press a vol key to select to unlock and press power then the screen goes blank. I immediately lose USB access from the computer (device disconnect but no device reconnect sound) but the screen stays blank for about 10 minutes before it goes back to the bootloader and indicates that the device is still locked but displays no error. If I just boot the device at that point it is clear that the wipe of user data step of the unlock was successful as it needs to be set back up again. This is a device I received new from Google this past August via RMA and it has never been unlocked but I am very familiar with the process as I had all of the Nexus phones and was very into using custom ROMs back in those days.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Hi,

Good morning everyone at XDA-Developers

This is my first question on this forum.

I have a strange problem with my Pixel 3xl from today

Yesterday it was okay, but today, I picked it up and it turned out to be a black screen. I still felt the work of the vibration, but after a while it also disappeared.

I broke the phone for half a day and nothing - no effect. Nothing appears on the screen, no response to buttons and button combinations.

Is there any application that can check the phone status?

Can it be reset from a PC?

How to force it to connect in service mode?

There is still a possibility that the battery is completely discharged - but after half a day the phone should come to life?

So far, there have been no problems with him in this regard.

Thanks in advance for the hints

regards

I have Pixel 3 XL made in Japan. I thought every pixel 3 has an esim but mine doesn't show any + button to sacan QR code. I read on Google forums that Japan Varient doesn't support Esim. I want to confirm is that disabled by the software or the actual piece of hardware is missing?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] schleima:
Having a really strange problem with Bluetooth pausing video playback at random intervals. This happened suddenly, and playback worked fine previously.

Basically when I play a video, whether on YouTube or even anon YouTube video embedded in a browser, it will play for 1-10 minutes and then pause. I have to manually restart playback of the video.

I do not use music streaming apps nor do I have downloaded content to play, but others who have experienced this problem online claim that it happens across all types of apps. In stone cases, turning off battery saver on Spotify seems to have worked for some people. I'm primarily using YouTube Vanced, so I turned off the battery saver but the problem persists. (Besides, what's happening to me doesn't appear to be app-specific)

Also, although I'm using a pixel 3xl, this problem is not specific to my device based on Google searches.

It's also not specific to one particular app, nor it's it specific to any particular Bluetooth device. My internet connection is strong and stable so it's not a streaming issue. I also just updated to Android 12 and the problem persists.

My best guess is that there's a Bluetooth setting that got mashed, maybe by an app I stalled? I haven't changed my BT settings at all, so I'm at a loss for what could have happened.

I appreciate anyone's help

Can you change the boot animation on any pixel phone? I've tried every method and none are working. The file is located in system/product/media opposed to the majority of other androids being in system/media. The file won't allow changing the permissions to manually replace it. I see very little information regarding change to or use of custom boot animations for any of the pixel phones but plenty of info how to get the pixel boot animation om just a out any other android phone. The bit of info I have found was of others having the same trouble I am which has me wondering Google has made sure that their logo cannot be altered on any of their phones.

I have a pixel 3 xl, stock rom, android 12, rooted with magisk v 23.

But I also own a pixel xl running android 10 that has given me the same results.

Try updating your adb file on your computer, then try unlocking again.

You can probably wipe the phone, and try setting it up again without the sim. Or try the Pixel 1 Verizon unlock method. I think you have to log out of your Google account on the phone, wipe it twice, then you can unlock.

Thanks all for the suggestions -- unfortunately nothing works, here's what I tried so far:

Remove SIM, Remove Google Account, Wipe Twice, Skip Setup, Skip WiFi, Developer Mode Enable -- Still Greyed Out OEM Unlock

All of the above, no skip WiFi, open Chrome, Skip account link, open a website -- Still Greyed Out

Legacy Verizon Pixel XL bootloader unlock (adb shell method -- adb returns success) -- Reboot, Connect Wifi, Open Google -- Still greyed out OEM Unlock

(fastboot flashing unlock fails as well, though of course it will because I can't enable OEM unlock from developer options)

This is very strange, I wonder if simply because I selected Verizon as my carrier Google shipped me a Verizon Phone? I'm actually thinking of contacting Google Support over it....
