seems I lost VoLTE on Telus after november update
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Guto ViP:
Order made on day 9, what is the average time for the device to be shipped? I already received the case and the stand.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
Looks like I'm either going to skip or wait several months for the price to go down. I can't justify paying $1400 for a smartphone.

That notch definitely does help with waiting it out, that's for sure:p

Any Canadians order the Pixel 3?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] OkayGK:
Im not sure.

I dont want to order yet. Im pretty much set on the size of the phone. Which will be the small one but i do want to feel it and play with it. See how i like the smaller screen to body. I have S8+. I love S8 but that phone has a bigger screen than P3.

I also am using Tmobile, so im worried if there is a difference between US phones and Canada variants i may experience difficulties with service. Like with my Freedom's S8+ i have now.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] milan187:
I pre-ordered both but I am going to cancel one one of these days. I am learning towards the smaller one (to buy).
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Roscopcoletrain:
pre ordered through Bell. White 64. Waiting until the 1st is gonna be tough lol
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] OkayGK:
Ordered Black XL, deliver should of been nov 6.

Had a change of heart once i played with both today and saw white color. Cancelled my old order and preordered White XL. Del is now nov 16 =(
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] milan187:
Where did you get a chance to play with them in Canada?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] DespairFactor:
My XL shipping got updated, but only for the stupid stand
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] OkayGK:
Not in Canada.

I'm in US most of the time, travel...

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

Same here

Got excited when I saw the email for an earlier delivery date, but then I checked and it was for a stand lol
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] efrant:
My Pixel 3 delivery date just got pushed back to Nov 13-14 from Nov 5-6. :(
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] DespairFactor:
My order can't be edited as of last night, let's hope it comes soon
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] nicholaschum:
[MENTION=5169465]DespairFactor[/MENTION] sweet to know you're grabbing the 3!

Fortunately, I anticipated the delays for the Pixel in Canada, so I picked one up from US instead. Been using it for about a week or two!
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] OkayGK:
How?

I'm in US 60% of the time but I couldn't find one.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] DespairFactor:
Wow I'm jealous, I'm actually getting the XL but same crap, how is it?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] nicholaschum:
I have a friend over there that forwards packages to me, so I preordered!
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] nicholaschum:
Yeah same thing. The camera is amazing, the phone build is top quality. I don't regret this purchase at all, as I did use an iPhone X before this :cool:

The sides of the phone (other than jerryrigeverything) was really covered little by the media. It almost feels like ceramic with the "Powder coating"-esque paint job.

I'm really hoping eSIM support for Rogers comes out soon after the iPhone XS Max iOS 12.1 launch tomorrow.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] OkayGK:
Interesting.

My date was nov 15th-16th, was just updated to Nov 5th-6th
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] efrant:
Same thing happened for my Pixel 3 XL order today. Strange, my Pixel 3 was pushed back but my Pixel 3 XL was advanced...
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] SkyboneNoya:
Less people can stand the notch leaving more stock? lol I'm waiting on the Pixel 3, nov 14th or so it says.

Delayed shipping date on a case and stand... Either way, I'm coming from a Huawei mate 10 that got busted. Kid gave me $900 so Pixel 3 it is!
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] OkayGK:
May be color too. Mine is white, I'm guessing most will go for black
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] cooke6:
Got mine yesterday, and the stand came the day before.

Original delivery date was 15-16.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
Anyone notice that the screen call feature isn't even available in Canada?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jonnyg1097:
I had noticed that. I tried calling my cell phone to see it in use but the option was never there. I was greatly disappointed. I hope it comes in an update soon.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Dark_Eyes_:
Anyone here with Telus got wi-fi calling or visual voicemail to work? Both won't work on my phone, and I'm told the features aren't out yet for the pixel 3, but I'm pretty sure they told me that just to get rid of me lol.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] nicholaschum:
I'm not with Telus but I'm pretty sure if I bought my phone from Rogers, I'd get Wifi calling at the very least.

I told them to just add my IMEI to the whitelist but they couldn't.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] nicholaschum:
Unfortunately, be prepared to be disappointed...

https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/9ylm8z/call_screen_for_canada/

However, you can enable it with root:

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
I'm with Telus and wifi calling works. Not too sure what you mean by visual voicemail though because last I checked that was an iPhone feature...
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] DespairFactor:
I have VVM, not VoLTE anymore and WFC they won't enable for me
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] lecteur:
Unlike wifi calling, I think that you must pay to have visual voicemail with Telus
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Dark_Eyes_:
Do you have to pay an extra for VVM?

I was told this extra package was for iPhones and that it should work out of the box for Android.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Dark_Eyes_:
Nope, it's on Android too!
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
You don't say! I had no idea vvm was compatible with some android devices. I found the link on Telus' webpage. It does mention you have to add the feature in self serve though. Here's the link.

https://www.telus.com/en/bc/support/article/visual-voicemail-for-android
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] DespairFactor:
Yeah 5$ a month but then I have EPP so it drops 33%. It isn't the same addon as the iPhone, there is a different option for it on Android. I swapped SIM and VoLTE is still fcked. Thank you Telus!
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
I hadn't noticed but yeah. VoLTE doesn't work. ???? I just assumed it did because I've never had issues with Telus VoLTE on any device. Even my oneplus 5 had access. That is kind of lame!
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Dark_Eyes_:
It doesn't work like it goes back to 3G when you get a call? Mine doesn't seem to do that. I also got WiFi calling to work today, so it seems all good on my end.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
Do you mean VoLTE works now? If yes, how did you get it to work?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Dark_Eyes_:
I had VoLTE working from the start (I guess), only WiFi calling and visual voicemail that wouldn't activate. Turned out I had to pay the extra 5$ for visual voicemail, so it's working now. Also, I called Telus again and they fixed WiFi calling.

How do you know VoLTE isn't working?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
Okk. I see. Maybe it's because I rooted and activated the call screen feature. I could swear VoLTE worked before but now when I call it drops to H+ or something. Anyway no biggy. ?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] DespairFactor:
What did you tell them?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Dark_Eyes_:
Not much, I called again and told them that wifi calling wouldn't activate (when trying to add my number it said that it wasn't registered or something like that), and this time the rep said, of yeah, we are having trouble with that, I'll check something and get back to you. And whatever she did worked because right after I could activate it.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] lecteur:
Have the same thing, I contacts them and all work fine now...just have to reboot my phone to complete my wifi calling registration
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Sevael:
On Rogers here.

Wi-Fi calling worked right off the bat (got the phone through Rogers) but VoLTE was broken. Tried all sorts of things (e.g. dialer codes), even got a new SIM card. Still wasn't working. Then I did a Force Stop on the dialer and it started working. Been working ever since.

Moral of the story -- whatever steps you try, Force Stop the dialer before testing to see if VoLTE is working. A simple reboot of the phone doesn't work.

Anyone have Visual Voicemail working for Android on Rogers? Not sure if they even offer it. Can't add it as a feature from the website and a search only turns up really old iPhone info.

Also, anyone on Rogers get RCS working in the stock Messages app?
[Xiaomi Redmi 5A Questions & Answers] oddhap:
Did anyone try using an SDXC card in this phone (128GB or more)?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] wimmerfield:
I have a Virgin GB LG G5 (H850) which I have been able to update to Oreo flashing LG UP with the Open EU Oreo firmware file H85030a_00_OPEN_EU_OP_910.kdz to my stock installed version (Nougat) H85020k_00_VMC_GB_OP_0501.kdz. The phone works fine just those dam “current version is not available for user” messages. In my case “can’t find matched customer for NT code = 23430,FF”

I know that can be stopped by rooting the phone and editing the edit cust_path_mapping.cfg file in the root CUST folder (e.g. by adding the line 23430,FF=/cust/VMC_GB - but I don’t want the phone rooted.

I have also discovered it seems possible to view and edit the phone NT code using the sequence *#546368#*850# for the secret menu. When I do that on my phone it shows this:-

"3","234,30F,

28000000,FFFFFFFF,FF","234,38F,

28000000,FFFFFFFF,FF","234,33F,

28000000,FFFFFFFF,FF"

I am wondering if that NC code entry be edited without rooting the phone so that it accepts the open EU Oreo upgrade without me getting the matched customer messages - maybe by just unlocking the boot loader as I have the unlock file?

I would also be interested to know what the full NT code is for successfully Oreo upgraded Open EU customers (found by dialling *#546368#*850#, going to the SVC menu, version info and scrolling down to the NT code)

Post details on best offer available in India for Pixel 3XL. Shipping date etc.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mrcet007:
Does flipkart offer Rs 10K discount in total?

Is the preorder Rs 5000 off on hdfc card on top of the Rs 5k instant discount from HDFC card for Big billion days?

The preorder offer of Rs 5000 is mentioned below.

https://www.flipkart.com/google-pix...er=sp_browse_announcement_search.flipkart.com

Anyone got clarity?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sarkar_007:
Can't believe how exorbitantly they have priced these 2 phones! Have they forgotten last year's experience when they were forced to reduce the price within a couple of months? And all those who had pre-booked it and bought Pixel 2/XL at launch were left cursing Google.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
It's a wrong idea to look for best offers and preorder offers at present . Wait for a month or so. Price will collapse.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rkial:
Well. The Rupee is almost 15% weaker. The custom duty has been increased.

Samsung get price it lower because they make phones in India and don't have to pay the 20% custom duty.

It's expensive, but its only going to get worse with the Rupee unlikely to get stronger anytime soon.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
It's not just about rupee losing its value & custom duties. It's also largely about boosting poor sales & holiday season sales especially in online platforms like FK & Amazon.

When sales went down the drain , Pixel 2 & 2 XL got huge price cuts last year during this end of the year holiday season.

iPhone X, XS, XS Max and predecessors(except for a few yesteryear models) don't get assembled/manufactured out here either but look at Big discounts at present in those platforms even when rupee is at it's lowest value. :good:
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mrcet007:
Its 5K discount with Hdfc card right now. The price is still too high. Its not worth that price in my opinion. I can almost buy two one plus 6T for this price.

I am gonna wait till prices come down to more realistic levels or try to get it from US.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit3221:
Ok so this only pertains to those who had purchased Pixel 2 / XL last year from Flipkart and had purchased the buyback guarantee from them.

You will be getting an additional 7k discount on the assured value.

For example - I had purchased a Just Black P2XL 128Gb for 82k. The current buyback value stands at INR 32800.

With the additional 7k, I am getting INR 39,800 discount for trading in my Pixel 2 XL. Add 5k Instant discount from HDFC and all Pixel 3 XL is gonna cost me is INR 38200 (INR 47200 for 128Gb) which I feel is a pretty good deal.

[IMG="Buyback"]http://i64.tinypic.com/2vtbnm9.png[/IMG]

Although you might argue that Pixel 3 isn't much of an upgrade compared to Pixel 2, the choice is yours. :D

Also If you get the buyback guarantee this year, you can get 46k discount on the next Pixel :P

[IMG="Buyback2"]http://i68.tinypic.com/2wexwee.png[/IMG]
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit3221:
And preordered Just Black 128 Gb.

Total costs around 48k after all discounts, buybacks. Also opted for the buyback guarantee [MENTION=6898457]199[/MENTION]

Will I get paid out of warrant service in India for pixel phone purchased from Europe /US? Hope I can service my device if something happens and that they won't reject any kind of repair/service saying its bought from outside India. Has anyone tried this for Pixel 2?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] segag:
I'm looking at a Pixel 3 XL. Just want to know how after sales is if anything goes wrong with this thing. My old First Gen phone had to be send back a couple of times as it had issues and that was a good experience as that time i was abroad. Can anyone chime in?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NishantM:
Wow, just two pages of discussions. Looks like no one in India is interested in buying these. Anyway, my Flipkart order says that it would be shipped today and will be delivered tomorrow. Anyone here got the same shipping date? Has it been shipped for anyone yet?

Same here. Flipkart says phone should be packed and shipped today and delivered by tomorrow.

Destination - Gurugram.

What's your location?

And yeah. Looks like very few people have preordered compared to P2XL last year.

Any updates in the status? Mine is still stuck on "Under Processing" . [emoji853]
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohank1009:
Which city has it shipped from? I'm from Mumbai and it still has not been packed.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit3221:
Doesn't say right now. Should be updated when the shipment reaches first checkpoint I guess. Will update here once its updated. SS attached. View attachment 4631105
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohank1009:
The estimated shipping date changed from 31 Oct to 1 Nov today afternoon. The estimated delivery date still states 1 Nov. So hoping for the best.

Mine just shipped from Mumbai. Since I too am located in Mumbai, I should certainly have the phone in hand tomorrow.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NishantM:
Cool. Mine is still under processing.

Edit: Shipped!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohank1009:
I'm from Mumbai and mine just shipped from Bhiwandi. It went from processing to Packing to Shipped, all under 5 minutes.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NishantM:
Yeah. Same happened to me just as i was posting update here. Mine is coming from Bhiwandi too.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit3221:
Edit: And here's Flipkart messing up once again. The tracking now shows "Same City Misroute". And received a message that the shipment is delayed for 3 days. I seriously don't understand how they can mess up even after the device has reached the nearest hub. Customer support says to wait till 7pm.

Sick of Flipkart.

So mine seems to be shipped from Gurgaon itself. It just reached the nearest hub. Should definitely be getting my hands on the device today.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NishantM:
Mine's delivered an hour ago. Yet to check it out since I'm at work.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit3221:
Awesome. Got the out of delivery message a while back. Looks like the delay wasn't that big.

Should get mine around 2 pm as well. Will post pics here [emoji3]
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NishantM:
Absolutely no delay in my case. I am actually surprised. While ordering it on October 10th, the ETA shown was November 1st.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit3221:
Mine is on time as well. Even though getting tye following message from FK [emoji849]

Flipkart seems Confused

Shipment Delay: The delivery of Google Pixel 3 XL (Jus... with tracking ID FMPP0214XXXXXX from flipkart.com has been delayed. We will deliver within three days.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit3221:
So finally the phone is all setup. ButI am getting one weird issue.

My top speaker is making a buzz/crackle noise whenever the phone is connected to WiFi.

The sound is there even when the speakers are idle - no music/videos - nothing. And it stops the instant i switch off WiFi.

Is anyone else facing a similar issue?

Should I opt for replacement from Flipkart?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NishantM:
I remember reading about this on reddit as well as on some website. I believe this to be a software issue but no harm asking for a replacement. Yet to check mine as I'm still on my way home.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit3221:
Yes please do update me about your device.

I narrowed it down a bit. It seems to happens only when WiFi is being used. i.e. When I'm downloading anything on Wifi
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NishantM:
Ok. So I've spent almost half an hour with the device right now. Still in the process of setting up (data restoration in progress). I am not hearing anything as you've described. Speakers seems to be fine too. Although it's not balanced well which is understandable after seeing the different sized speaker grills. So no issues with my device, period.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NishantM:
[MENTION=3820291]rohit3221[/MENTION] So, what did you do? Opted for a replacement?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit3221:
Haven't decided yet. Did some more digging. Apparently it isn't restricted to wifi. Its also there when I'm downloading /streaming anything over any network - even mobile data.

I can order a replacement till 11th November. I am thinking of waiting till November security patch, which I believe should be released on 5th.

Apart from that the phone is working great. Also I am not sure if FK will carry over my Buyback guarantee to the replacement device. If they do not provide buyback guarantee on the replaced device, I might end up not replacing it at all.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NishantM:
Yeah, I do think November patch will fix most of the bugs.

Hey bro,

Do you have a strong vibration at back of your phone even when the volume is at 50 peecwnt. Even after unlock after the haptic during unlock sound I get this a bit heavy vibration.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit3221:
I am done waiting lol. Just noticed another issue with the phone and this is a major one and not at all software related.

Whenever my phone vibrates, the top portion of the phone is making loud noise. Just like this video

https://youtu.be/dwB-p8IuGdM

Issuing for a replacement with Flipkart first thing in the morning.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NishantM:
I had this problem with my Pixel XL. After a few days the vibration simple gave up. Had to get the vibration motor replaced. Thankfully it was in warranty and the whole process was quite smooth.

But yeah, no point in keeping it. Get replacement asap.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NishantM:
I had this on my Nexus 6P and I have it on my Pixel 3 XL too. So I guess it happens on devices with powerful dual speakers.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] karthikmurarisetty6779:
Guys how is the battery life on pixel 3 xl? Screen on time?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NishantM:
For my usage I'm getting around 5 hours of SOT. It is highly dependent on individual usage and mobile network condition so don't treat it as a base of measurement of battery life. I've read people getting even 7 hours of SOT.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] karthikmurarisetty6779:
I hardly get 3 hrs of screen on time will it be a faulty battery? Always connected to WiFi with full signal strength and almost all the time in standby.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit3221:
Agree with Nishant. Totally depends on your usage. On a full day with whatsapp, calls, social networks, pubg, i get approx 4 to 5 hours of SOT.

Today I am travelling in train, flaky network, Netflix offline, some whatsapp and web browsing. 5.5 hours of SOT till now and Battery still at 20 percent as I type.

So yeah I'd say 4.5 to 5 hours is the average for me
