It looks like Ambient Display is taking up a bulk of your battery life. If you get a lot of notifications it can turn into a battery killer. Maybe turn it off and check?

I have disabled the following since I don't need it:

Replacement update.

Okay some weird stuff with Flipkart.

I got a call from Flipkart im the morning saying The technician visit has been scheduled.

I got the technician's details right after the call.

I was randomly checking the Replacement status in Flipkart this evening when I saw the message that the replacement was rejected since technician cancelled the visit.

I immediately called FK asking for an explanation. While I was on call with Customer support, I got a call from the technician as well. He was already on his way.

He then checked my device, told me that it was an hardware issue and the device will be replaced.

Although FK still shows status as Replacement cancelled. I called them a 30 min back informing them that the technician has diagnosed the issue and please confirm the status, to which they replied - sir you gotta wait for 24 hours, when we receive the update from technician, we'll process the replacement further.

This is so damn confusing.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit3221:
So after spending hours on call with Flipkart support, managed to get my replacement approved. The new device has now been shipped and should reach in a couple of days.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mrcet007:
How did you convince them? Didn't they say go to service center? What was the issue you encountered with pixel?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit3221:
So my phone had 2 issues. One minor, one major.

Have described them in this thread as well.

1. Buzz noise from top speaker whenever there was any network activity - downloading apps/images etc. Probably an issuenwith faulty network module?

2. Loud noises when the phone vibrates. Like the top and bottom glass pieces of the phone weren't "glued" properly.

Since the phone was in the 10 day replacement warranty, I applied for replacement.

Time line -

1st Nov - Received the original phone

3rd Nov - Raised replacement request

4th Nov 11 AM - Got. Technician assigned

4th Nov 3 PM - The replacement was rejected even before the technician got a chance to review the device. WTF Flipkart

4th Nov - 6.30 PM - Technician arrived, confirmed the H/W fault and approved my replacement. Since the request was already rejected, I didn't gwt any replacement confirmation

5th Nov 10 AM- Requested Flipkart to re initialize Replacement request. Apparently they used the wrong address while doing this, so had to cancel thiz request as well.

5th Nov 11 AM - Third replacement request initialized - same technician was assigned so he approved my request again. The request was approved by 2 PM and the device was shipped around 5 PM.

So its flipkart's responsibility to provide a replacement within 10 days of Purchase in case of any issues. If I had got the issue on 11th day then I would've had to deal with Google customer service which is even worse ( Based on Past experience with my Pixel 2 XL Google support).
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] alekhkhanna:
Glad you managed to get a replacement. Flipkart after sales support is ****. Stopped buying from them for the past 2 years.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NishantM:
So November update arrived without any Pixel 3 specific fixes. I guess we'll get the fixes in December update.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mrcet007:
Good to hear that your issue is resolved. Didn't know they will send technician for inspection before approving replacement.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NishantM:
It's a result of too many people abusing the returns option. It wasn't there initially.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit3221:
As long as the technician is well trained and you have a genuine issue, I dont mind the inspection.

But if they try to fool customers by saying that issue isn't hardware related or this is working as expected then its a problem. Which is exactly what Google did for Pixel 2 XL last year. [emoji23]

Anyone here knows of a good tempered screen protector for the Pixel 3 XL?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dvsk69:
I have the same question! Anyone?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] alkeshgamer:
I have ordered Nillkin Tempered Glass, waiting for it to get delivered. I have Pixel 3 though, non XL. Got it for 1k on amazon, same is the price for XL one too while on flipkart it was for 1.5k.

Reviews say it's better than the other available ones.

Feb update added support for Airtel VOLTE in india for pixel 3xl and pixel 3 ????????
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
I am not getting VOLTE option. I have Airtel. But it just shows LTE. how to turn it ON?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sivaiah:
my current phone is pixel 3xl and i got the option for enhanced LTE which is VOLTE but its not showing VOLTE BADGE anywhere

Do any one have any idea about that?

One more thing VOLTE from Airtel is locked to certain regions in india.... please check your location
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
Thank you for the reply. I am also getting that option in the settings. But i thought data remains ON, when we are in the call on VOLTE. But when i am on the call, LTE badge converts to H+ and data speed is negligible. Also i see no improvements in the call quality. It is supposed to be HD call.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sivaiah:
Just want to give an update from today morning ie 22/2/19 i have observed that the LTE badge is not getting dropped to H+ when getting a call this means that call is going through LTE but there is no VOLTE badge on notification bar

I think finally VOLTE is working on pixel 3xl with airtel in Hyderabad but not showing as VOLTE

if anyone can confirm the same it would be better
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dvsk69:
Any ideas when esim is coming to India?

Also will it have dual sim capabilities (one physical sim and other esim) when it is enabled?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] alkeshgamer:
Esim is available in India. Jio, Vodafone, Airtel are providing them. You'll have to contact them for more information.

As for dual sim, pixel 3 doesn't have dual standby, so even if you have both esim and physical sim in the phone, only one can be enabled at a moment and the other one is disabled.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dvsk69:
Oops what's the point of esim without dual sim functionality?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] alkeshgamer:
Yea even I was disappointed with that. But rumours are they are going bring dual sim dual standby in Pixel 4, and pixel 2, 3 also have hardware support for that so a future update might bring that.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sendhiloo7:
We will pray for that.But as per my understanding pixel 3 will not get dual SIM (dual stand by) function, because it's having only one IMEI number.

So don't keep your hope
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] m0h1t:
Airtel esim works

Airtel esim works just fine on the Pixel 3. Just got it activated. Using jio regular sim and Airtel esim
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sendhiloo7:
Thanks
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit3221:
Can you switch between the sims? Does it need a reboot?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sendhiloo7:
Not required. He will disable one SIM and use another one without rebooting.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] m0h1t:
Yup can switch on the fly but only one works at a time.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rohit3221:
Thanks... Still better than having a single sim. [emoji3]

Also any idea if I switch phones later, then how do i transfer/switch back to normal sim from esim.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] m0h1t:
I guess you'd have to request a regular sim from the service provider
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sendhiloo7:

[Android Head-Units] psyko_chewbacca:
Hi,

There's an issue that has been mildly bugging me since I have had my Android Head Unit. Just wondering if I'm the only one or if this is a known issue.

Sometime when starting the car and the Head Unit powers up, the bluetooth and Wifi radios are not working. My phone cannot connect via bluetooth and the Wifi activation slider in the Wifi Setting menu will not move to the "activated" position.

Usually, a full system restart fixes the issue but I've had occurence where a second reboot in a row is necessary!

This has been going since I have had the unit. I didn't stay on stock ROM for long as I moved to Malaysk first and now using Hal9k ROM. Both ROMs exhibit the same issue. Point is I don't know if the stock ROM had this issue.

Head Unit is equipped with a MD725 version 1 radio module.

Does somebody have a workaround (other than rebooting)?

Thanks!

EDIT: Please check this post for a detailed explanation of the cause of the problem, the resolution process and finally provides fixes for it.
[Android Head-Units] erkme73:
How disappointing to see that no one has replied. I purchased a Seicane unit from an Amazon seller two weeks ago, and among the things I noticed immediately was the frequent, seemingly random WIFI/BT disconnect. As you described, it happens when waking up. Either pressing the reset button or holding the power button for >5 seconds has returned their functionality every time (so far). But, in corresponding with Seicane, they act like it's the first time they've heard of it. They want to replace the WIFI module. But, I'm sure that'll take weeks, and by the time it gets here, I'm outside the return window with Amazon.

I'm fully stock, and I really like the fit and finish in my Tundra.

Can I thread-jack and ask you some questions to see if you have other issues like me?

- Google account sync is missing calendar (and chrome too, for that matter). That means any calendar app (stock or 3rd party) cannot access events. Do you see calendar under settings/accounts/google/sync?

- Side-loading apks is a no-go. Whether I use file manager, or the default "Apk-installer", when I try to install an APK (even OEM legit ones on the internal memory), I get a momentary flash of "package install.." then right back to the file list. Seicane doesn't seem to understand the issue, even after I sent them a video of how it's behaving.

- Fader is not working. I do have left/right, but when I move fader to rear, everything goes quiet. It seems front and rear are combined, because full front has sound coming from all speakers. That's not a deal breaker since I generally listen to podcasts, and not music.

Just knowing there's someone else out there with similar issue(s) is comforting.
[Android Head-Units] Viper_rt1996:
Seicane = Bad Customer Service, No Support after they have your money

I purchased a Seicane Nav/Radio Unit back in June 2018, and from day 1 the Parrot Bluetooth module I paid extra for has never worked. Did everything recommended, used their BT apk, tried setting up via Phone apk, changed name of BT module, change passcode to 0000, 1234, 01234, but it never saw my BT enable Phone or Tablet that was within 2 foot of the Head Unit, nor did my phone or tablet ever see the Head Unit.

I have been going back and forth with Seicane, and after 3 months got them to send me a replacement BT Module. They shipped me an unmarked module that does not even look like its Bluetooth other than the 10 pins at the bottom of it for mounting. Oh, no instructions, no explanations, nor did they tell me the Head Unit needed to be COMPLETELY disassembled to get at the existing BT module. Once opened it was apparent that the module was soldered in requiring de-soldering of the old, and soldering in the new. Problem was while inspecting how to do this I found 3 SMD resistors on the main board that were damaged during manufacturing, so now I know why the BT never worked! I assume they knew it also, and that is why they sent me the replacement module knowing that if I opened the case, the factory warrantee was then void. So now they want me to spend $60 to ship the Head Unit back to them in China, and of course, they will void the warrantee and change me $60 to get it back.......NEVER AGAIN WITH SEICANE.................

[Android Head-Units] verszipo:
I have similar problems, i thought that only the "XRC" units (MTCE_XRC_...) ones had the problem with WiFi and Bluetooth not working sometimes when you start.

From what i saw, a restart sometimes fixes it.

Somebody said that entering into recovery and then restarting seems to always fix the issue, but it's still annoying.

Until somebody finds a "real" solution, we're stuck with restarting the unit if the WiFi/BT doesn't work.

You could try using an USB adapter for the WiFi and Bluetooth, the ones i had (for my PC) didn't work, probably we need something designed for Android.

P.S. the problem is not from custom ROMs, it does the same with the ROM that it came with.
[Android Head-Units] erkme73:
Well, that's not very promising. I initiated the refund/return process for mine with Amazon. I have about 10 days left before the return window closes. So glad I bought from AZ vs. AliExpress or directly from Seicane.

There's another seller of the PX5 (Hizpo) that is custom fit to my Tundra, but uses the button-less trim. I'm hoping that it doesn't have this issue.

On an aside, I figured out why my APKs wouldn't side-load. Under settings/car/factory defaults/other is a setting called "install apps" which was set to disabled. Switching it to enabled allowed me to install all my favorite 'patched' apks. Unfortunately, the intermittent wifi/BT is a deal breaker. I'm hoping Seicane can come up with a fix/workaround suggestion in the coming days - else, this one is getting picked up by the big brown truck.
[Android Head-Units] psyko_chewbacca:
Yeah, if I can't find a satisfactory solution, my backup plan is to mount a USB hub behind the radio and use a USB Wifi/BT adapter.

From what I read, the Comfast WU725B is compatible with the android headunit. It's probably the same chipset that is used on the internal MD725 module of the head unit!
[Android Head-Units] erkme73:
I've got that Hizpo arriving on Wed. If it has the same issue running stock (as the Seicane XRC) does, then I'll be happy to give the WU725B adapter a go. I just wonder why there aren't more people complaining about this phenomenon given the popularity of the PX5 systems.
[Android Head-Units] Hazard15301:
I'd be interested to know if this works. I found a thread where others have done that to fix BT call issues. Apparently it's not just plug and play in most cases.

Same unit, different issues...

Hi,

I think I have the same unit - I too had issues with Bluetooth, but after a factory reset it seemed to behave itself. The only downside is the hardware buttons on the facia (its a merc slk 200 type facia) are now not working! navi, setup, BT, 1-6, power etc all not responding. I'm a bit of a newb when it comes to the hardware side of these android head units - am I missing some sort of interface APK that helps the hardware buttons talk to the android OS?

Sorry for thread jacking, but I'm starting to get a bad feeling - I purchased from seicane direclty and so far, the support feels like one guy doing it after he gats back from the factory...

For ref I took some pics and a video of the issue - any hints?

You need to go into the Factory Settings menu, under the Panel Key Study header and manually set all your physical buttons
[Android Head-Units] xboson:
Hi,

Yep - tried that - a couple of times (factory settings code 126) - tried reset and panel key study - nothing appears on screen. Tried waiting a minute or two but no dice. I'll try again just to be sure and report back.

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------

Yep - so just tried that page again - waitied about a minute and a half - nothing showed up - blank page & no response to any hardware buttons on the facia - the canbus based steering wheel answer, hangup and volume controls work as expected. So it should just detect the hardware buttons no issue? No special apk needed?
[Android Head-Units] erkme73:
The new hizpo unit worked GREAT! No dropouts. Well, at least not for the first 10 min... After that the screen went dark. Resetting and power-cycling made it beep and the buttons illuminated green for about 2 seconds... But that was it.

I did an exchange through Amazon and the replacement arrived today. On power up, no wifi or BT. ARG. I did a power-cycle, and both came back. I went to vehicle several more times during they day/evening, and despite cold booting, wifi resumed each time. Fingers crossed, but I'm guessing it will disappoint me soon.

I sent a message to the seller asking for stock MCU and firmware images, but I'm sure that will be met with crickets.

Will update if anything changes.
[Android Head-Units] erkme73:
That didn't take long. Got in truck this am to find no wifi. Took FOUR resets for it to finally wake the wifi/bt. Really frustrating. Took a video and sent it to the Amazon seller (JBY TECH) asking what I need to do to get a functioning unit. If I do another exchange it'll be the third unit. This sucks.

Wish I could get a non-XRC unit that fits my Sequoia.
[Android Head-Units] erkme73:
Growing more frustrated and impatient by the day, I opted to remove the back of the radio (which leaves the factory warranty seal intact) to get a better view of the wifi/bt components. The thing is tiny - smaller than a postage stamp. It appears to be soldered directly to the main board at 8 points - though the ones on the left are hard to identify due to the hot-glue applied to the antenna wire connection point. These points are not surface-mount sized. A steady hand with a standard iron should be able to comfortably resolder these connections. I would attempt it if out of warranty and all other options have been exhausted.

I did push down on each joint before re-assembling the unit. After several power-cycles, WIFI/BT remain on. The acid test will be in the AM. I am reluctant to even post this now, as I don't want to jinx it. I will post updates as they happen.
[Android Head-Units] Hazard15301:
The seller of my radio thinks I have a bad chip as well. He's sending me a new chip, should be here monday. So I'll be doing this exact procedure when it gets here. I think someone else said there's ten total solder points, and two are real close together and very easy to short together.

I was wondering why it is that wifi and bt will remain functional across short term sleep cycles, but only seems to act up when left in sleep overnight (at least that's how it works in my case). Not sure if that points to a software or hardware issue.
[Android Head-Units] erkme73:
I'm no engineer, but if I unplug all wires from the back of the radio and leave it de-energized for an hour, I would think that any residual electrons would be gone - or at least comparable to an overnight connected shut down. The fact that it still works after that hour makes me think it's hardware.

The one variable that changes overnight is temperature. The unit cools down completely overnight, and by morning the symptoms return. I suppose I could take the radio and put it in the freezer/refrigerator for a few hours and see if recurs.

If it is temp, that would lend credence to poor electrical connections - with the most likely suspect being the hand-soldered points (not the SM-ed board components). Admittedly, it's a stretch.

If your seller has OK'ed the replacement of your board, if I were you, I'd practice with the old one and re-solder those 8-10 points.

I recall reading posts elsewhere stating that keeping pressure on that board resolved the issue (one guy wrote about using tape!).
[Android Head-Units] erkme73:
I just received word from the seller that they suspect the "core board" to be the problem. They want me to open the case and unplug/replug it to see if that resolves it. I've attached their photo. If it does not solve the problem, they suggest replacing it, and they provided a link to the latest XRC firmware (XRC8.0_20180510). I'm downloading it now.

Looks like when daylight comes, I'll be doing some vendor-approved dissection...
[Android Head-Units] erkme73:
New daylight, and with permission to disassemble, I managed to get a better picture of the wifi/bt module. Unless there are pins underneath the board, it really looks like 8 connections.

I removed the 'core board' and replaced it. No wifi/bt. After third power-cycle it came up.

I really think this is temperature-related. By the 2nd or 3rd reboot, the electronics have warmed up and it starts working. Now I have to wait until it gets back to ambient temp to do more testing. To prove this theory, I've placed it in my freezer. I'll give this a go in about 30 min. If it stop working again, I think that would be pretty conclusive. Will update as I proceed.
