[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pantallica420:
From my personal experience I didn't have a choice but I also did you not do my research prior but I had to get a new phone ASAP and I have been looking into the pixel phones at a distance basically but checked out their tech specs and everything and well I have been a previous owner of Nexus to be exact ly the Galaxy Nexus which multiple people have tried to tell me that they never made a Samsung Galaxy Nexus but I can actually pull up all their shattered screens but I can pull up the old phones and show them but that's all besides the point and forgive me but I have Verizon as my carrier which used to be a grandfather implant on the unlimited data until they paid enough lawyers to find a legal way to get out of that with everybody completely because I stepped in on my parents' plan and they had been with Verizon before they were known as Verizon and the only way I could get my phone rooted and everything was because the original Pixel 2 XL that I had gotten it had to misfortunate accident and I had to go through the insurance granted it cost me $200 but I got it and before I did anything else besides pulling out of the box I went started up got in got everything going with no accounts no nothing no Google account no anything set up and the option to unlock OEM and developer options was lit didn't and as soon as I did that I plugged in the fast food completely unlocked it and had no worries I mean I didn't really want my phone to go bye bye out the window because my friend's kid tossed it out the window on the freeway but quote-unquote accidents happen and unfortunately it cost me $200 on top of what I paid for the phone out right through Verizon but again it was worth it as I was able to root my phone even though there's not really much options because they came out with Android q and about the only good ROM that I could see cuz I've tried all the wrongs for Android keys that are out that are customized and I continue to run the pixel dust because it's been the most solid and best one that I can find will pretty much the only good one I can find so I wish you luck and well my phone when I got it the Pixel 2 XL originally it was already a year old and no exploits or anything were ever found that I know of in the one next voice that they had were too old for me to use because when I got my phone it probably at that point was but they tried to set everything up for me in the storm and after reading everything that I read and finding out that well Google has their big contracts with Verizon and Verizon gave them their own say on how the bootloader gets unlocked if it's to get in locked and all that and I was just like are you effing kidding me because I've had Nexus phone I figured hey you'll be able to unlock it but no they give that up to the vendor and I've looked into everything in detail that I can find I've even tried to do some of the details at Google says you should be able to do but because of their giving the way the rights to that whole Verizon thing because of the contract that they had no go so I don't know if anybody else that are truly trying to find an exploit for that because a the phone is old being what's the point I mean Verizon's going to do Verizon sayings and I don't particularly like being with Verizon and now that my dad has passed away my mom would like to get out of the contract so I'm trying to run my phone down a little bit so we don't have to pay quite as much to buy as a contract and if it wasn't for the fact that it affects credit scores etc etc I personally go in to Verizon store have them get their corporate on phone to their highest boss and tell them to record all how I really truly feel about them because where I live come to find out T-Mobile has the best service in the areas where I'm at versus Verizon and well honestly with T-Mobile they don't f you over when you try to upgrade or anything like that they don't try to hike rates on you blindly and but then again with Verizon if you use their prepaid you don't get screwed over but all I can say is f Verizon because these days it pretty much any service if you're in a major city and all that it doesn't matter what service you got you can go with the cheapest mobile and everything is runs off multiple carrier bands it's all fine and dandy where I'm at you're more relied on these carrier bands that are solidly held by the carriers but good luck I would just say have a quote unquote accident with the phone in do what you need to do or get out of the contract with Verizon because that's them they equivalate how Walmart is as a whole in the store-wise and I know people that have worked at Walmart employees they're just low-level cannot get overtime but yet the higher-ups who don't have to sit in a store all day but they get sitting in a nice comfy cozy office wherever they are they're allowed to have overtime even though they're making five times the salary that they're employees who actually do the drunk work yet so do the math I said get rid of Verizon I'm sorry I'm just a chatty Cathy tonight and yeah I can go on and on and on but and I do apologize so if you actually take the time to read this I applaud it but if you see how long this response is I don't blame you if you don't want to read it good luck man
