Anyway to buy this in best buy unlocked? Visiting from Ireland next week. Smithfield ma
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Chronzy:
Nope. Gonna be Verizon exclusive in best buy again.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] micks_address:
If a colleague was a Verizon customer could they purchase as a one off and I'd be able to use on any network Sim?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blcklab:
Ordered at 12:20 EST 64gb Black unlocked. Estimated delivery 19-21
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Chronzy:
No, Verizon only.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TBarb169:
Nope, still shows mid november delivery. You may be looking at the 64gb? I actually cancelled the white and ordered the Not Pink and will have it next wednesday or thursday... with a case on it, i really dont care, would rather have it a month earlier!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
If it is the same as the OG and the 2, yes. Verizon does not SIM lock their phones.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RomPlinker:
I think this is likely to be the right answer - but beware: while it's likely that it'll be sim unlocked the previous device was bootloader locked.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
Good point, thank you for the clarification. Yes, the VZ ones will be bootloader unlocked.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Chronzy:
Oh I coulda swore I heard they were sim locked, my bad.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
I bet you did. VZ said they would be SIM locked just for a short time during shipping to prevent theft. But that has not happened yet.

3XL 64GB "Not Pink"

Ordered at 10:56 AM CT

Said "Ship By Oct 17th" when adding to cart

Delivery Oct 19-22
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] micks_address:
Thanks guys, re the bootloader i wouldnt be too fussed as we can't root the phones at work due to apps we need for email etc. Im still unclear re contract obligations etc with Verizon..

If a colleague has a verizon account if they buy the pixel 3 xl for me, does it mean a new contract extension for them, or can they just buy it as a once off? I wouldnt want them having the hassle of changing dates on their account or effecting their eligibility for their next discounted upgrade etc.

Also - do Verizon use standard nano sims? Is there some carriers in the US that use a wired into the phone type sim?

Apologies for confusing questions!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jmartin72:
That's what mine says too. I didn't the second the keynote was over like I have in the past. I waited an hour or so because I was busy at work. We could actually have them next week. That's awesome!!!

I didn't see any other shipping options.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rsbenedict:
When I tried to check on shipping with other options, the option that I did choose was shipping earlier than the one I purchased (I purchased black and check on black and now black is shipping earlier than my shipment :( ). When I checked on my Google FI account I didn't get any other shipping options but ground. I'm not sure why that was. On the Google Store, I could choose various shipping methods.

I'm wondering if I can find a colleague with a verizon account and buy a 3xl in best buy Thursday will they let me try my non verizon sim card in it to check if its sim locked?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] yankeesfan714:
If history tells us anything, They are sim unlocked but bootloader locked.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Tanquen:
So yesterday the case and charger that were ordered later in the day and shown to arrive a day or two latter have shipped but the phone still has not. :(
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rknee:
Shipped today, arrival 10/19

Shipped!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Tanquen:
Man I got screwed. :(
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sunNsnow:
Verizon does lock phones if you purchase through their payment plan. The person will receive messages about an unauthorized SIM on the phone.

If you purchase the phone up front, then the phone will be unlocked.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Tanquen:
Could there maybe be a Verizon locks phone thread somewhere?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rsbenedict:
That's a mandate by American law. Once phone is paid off, a carrier cannot hold it hostage and must unlock the sim.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Tanquen:
Now changed to Delivered by

Nov 6 – 7

WTF! :(

Google shipped the case and charger and then changed the phone to next month.

Just upset they pushed my order back to next month when I ordered at 08.37am before the announcement was finished.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] onebelo:
Probably the first time I received the phone so quickly after announcement. Got this yesterday, about a week after it was announced. Past pre-orders of Google phones have always taken at least a month or more.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bukem75:
My girl ordered the Pixel 3 from Verizon a couple hours after the announcement and got it a day earlier than Fedex said.

I listened/watched the announcement on one tab and had the Project Fi tab open and refreshing constantly. I ordered my white/128 Pixel 3 XL within a minute of Fi going live. My ship date is the 24th/25th.

WTF is up with Google? Verizon gets the first batch and Google Fi customers get the second batch?

EDIT: We wanted you to know right away that your order has a new estimated delivery date of Nov 7 - 8. You’ll get a confirmation once it ships.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] krabman:
Any of you that pushed to the 7th or 8th have expedited shipping?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Tanquen:
Not sure expedited shipping was an option.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Tanquen:
It looks like a White 3 XL is a problem.

When I looked today you can get a Pink in 3 days a Black by the 29th but the White is 2-3 weeks.

But still, I ordered at 08:37am before the presentation on the Pixel 3 had even started.

So lots of people ordered a few seconds before me or they did not have that many in White or they are screwing over the Project Fi folks. :(

If I order today I get the same shipping estimate.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Tanquen:
Please post in my Project Fi Community thread.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Tanquen:
Just got an email that they are moving the date out another week maybe more!

HI guys

Bit of a Mystery – I am trying to USB tether my Nokia 8 (latest patch on 8.1.0) to my asus router in a vehicle.. its an Asus DSL-N55U c1 and basically the tethering doesnt work.. it’s running the latest beta .572 ( I have tried several)

If i plug my wifes Sony Z2 it works fine.. straight away.. no issues. (Just got my wife a Nokia 6.1+ also and that behaves the same as the Nokia 8 is doesn't work)

Nokia – not a blink of anything – basically it seems that the asus finds the sony and hotplug does its thing to create the usb as an ethernet connection for the WAN – with the nokia it just stops at the add high speed device.

I’m sure that VF Aus dont limit USB tethering.. based on that it works fine on my windows 10 laptop!

log extract from the nokia connecting

2011-01-01 08:04:44 kernel: usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using rt3xxx-ehci and address 14

2011-01-01 08:04:45 kernel: usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

it never gets to the hotplug entry that the sony does… that was the end of the log after switching tethering on

the sony looks like

2011-01-01 08:02:10 kernel: usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using rt3xxx-ehci and address 3

2011-01-01 08:02:10 kernel: usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

2011-01-01 08:02:10 kernel: usb0: register ‘rndis_host’ at usb-rt3xxx-1, RNDIS device, 02:10:05:6c:01:7d

2011-01-01 08:02:11 hotplug: add net usb0.

2011-01-01 08:02:12 hotplug: Got net usb0, vid 0xfce, pid 0x71af.

2011-01-01 08:02:13 hotplug: set net usb0.

2011-01-01 08:02:17 WAN(11) Connection: Wan link up

Interestingly this also happens on my RT ac68u (Merlin) no USB fallback same log entries

My old HTC 10 used to work on Oreo.. as I used it a fail over Wan a few times in my office.. when DSL failed

Any ideas.. can anyone try it on their hardware?

Thanks Steve

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] flekkelek:
Seriously, it's a phone under $100. What the hell did you expect? There are plenty of custom roms if you got bored with the stock, but noone gives a **** about oreo. What oreo feature do you want to use this desperately? If there will be an official oreo, thats fine, if won't, there are plenty of cheaper phones with oreo you can buy.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] flekkelek:
I doubt there will be a stable rom for it. miui "devs" are abandoned this phone a long time ago, they won't fix the camera on 8.0. As you can see they updated it to miui 10, but with 7.1.2. Oreo is a piece of crap anyways.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Questions & Answers] maher1974:
Haha, the same as always "be patient".

At least give us a reward for this delay and give Oreo in next stable update or portrait mode this phone deserves.

Redmi Note 5A has the same specs as Redmi 5A, what kind of critical issues could be there when Redmi 5A has Oreo already somehow? Just admit Xiaomi doesn't care about this device. Those "critical issues"

Someone points at you for all the wrong reasons & we should choose to ignore... Bravo... Great visions executed here... Justice & rules are all same for everyone & I abide by it to uphold & teach lessons to those who demand for it...!

You should choose your words carefully Admin bcoz it ain't school yard drama where kids visit to play around..!
