Is your screen coming off the body of the phone? Like reported in the thread in this same forum.

Word. I was asking the OP. Im trying to find out quick so I can cancel my preorder. Dont wanna go thru sending it back, then maybe having to wait longer for the next batch. Unreal
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] TotallydubbedHD:
I don't have that issue; there is the slightest gap between the screen and the unibody, but the same could be said about my S10+; unless that person's one is faulty?

Pics attached - will reply to that thread
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Me too! This could be one huge mess. I'd get an RMA within 5 minutes of opening the thing. Expected delivery November 3 so hopefully this will be sorted out by then..if we see a delivery delay then we'll know there is a problem.

Really Rockstar? First time?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Correct Toked!

ALMOST bought the 4 XL a year ago, but I decided the Note 10+ was a better buy (the 64 & 128 GB versions were more of an issue before when considering the awful battery life). After a year with the Samsung phone, I found that Google's better UI/software (including less lag) and BETTER camera were more worth looking into. Of course 5G and the vastly improved battery life were major factors too.

Was kinda bugged about the loss of Face Unlock, at least initially anyway. Now not so much, esp with us wearing masks so much anyway. But I REALLY wish Google had offered 256 GB version of the 5 instead of JUST a 128 GB one. I prefer to listen to downloaded music (Hi-Res, downsampled to 256-320 kbps AAC) vs. streaming most of the time on the Poweramp music app. So now I get to look forward to having to pick & choose between my music and fit what I deem to love most on the 5. Mehh. lol

But except for that, I am pretty happy with the reviews so far! :good:
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] TokedUp:
The reviews are moot if the screen is coming off the phone...

[MENTION=3283391]TotallydubbedHD[/MENTION] could you tell us how long it takes to charge the device from as little power as possible (<=10%) to full? If possible both on wired and wireless 10W/15W charger.

I'm trying to see if I can fit an extra wireless charger on my budget :)

Thank you!
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] TotallydubbedHD:
Takes 1hr30mins from 2% to 100% on a fast charge wired charger. No idea about wireless, as I don't have one!

Mine has a noticeable gap between the body and screen on one side top left hand side _compared_ to the right top side. It doesn't move when you put your fingernail in there and try and wedge it open though. Also I'd totally accept it if it were like that all around. Didn't notice until Google recommended me an article from Android authority. Australian user.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Interesting. Surprised they even bother to list 2G anymore.

What country are you in if you don't mind me asking?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] TotallydubbedHD:
Could be my 'test' phone? Not sure lol.

This was on the Vodafone 5G SIM, and I'm in the UK, London :)
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Haha..........."test phone", he says.

Ahh ok. Cool!

I'm in the U.S., Chicago area myself.

I'd read that at least here in the "states" that 2G was going to be phased out very soon, if not already. So I guess when I get my 5 in about a week or two I'll have to check on that in Settings to see if they've done so or not.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] TotallydubbedHD:
I say that as my Pixel 5 still has an R-release thing on the dropdown lol.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Wait, I thought you were kidding. LOL What does R-release refer to?

Is yours REALLY a test model??
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
Thanks. Not exactly what I was expecting. I'm surprised 2G is there and I'm surprised it has 4G instead of LTE.

My Pixel 2 XL has LTE and 3G so I was expecting 5G, LTE and 3G. Either way it does appear that I'll be able to disable 5G which is what I was really looking for. :good:
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] TotallydubbedHD:
Yeah I got it pre-release and don't think it's fully updated yet lol. Need to check on this.

Indeed, you can disable it! :)

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Hate to necro this thread...but we need some insight on AVB on the Pixel 5.

As most of us know, root has been blessedly simple on the Pixel series up through Android 11.

However, Android 12 brought about some new challenges.

With the 12 Beta, users on the 4a5g, 5, and 5a discovered that to be able to boot a patched boot image from /boot, vbmeta must be reflashed with --disable-verity and --disable-verification. That seemed to be the only additional requirement. Otherwise, a patched image loading from /boot would result in the bootloader error "failed to load/verify boot images".

But, with the 12 stable release, we discovered that reflashing /vbmeta with the disable flags will cause the device to bootloop into recovery with an error message: "Can't load Android system. Your data may be corrupt". At this point the user has a choice:

* Wipe /data, but be able to successfully run permanent root

* Reflash /vbmeta and /boot back to stock, and either run unrooted or live boot a patched image from fastboot for temporary root

Again, this has been specific to Android 12 on the Pixel 4a5g, 5, and 5a, as well as the 6 series. Maybe it has something to do with Boot Header v4 introduced with Android 12?

Any thoughts?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Anonshe:
Even on Beta on redfin, one needed to do a data wipe the first time disabling vbmeta. It's a hard requirement as encryption is tied to verified boot. If you disable vbmeta but do not wipe, the device won't boot. There is no difference between the Beta and stable release for rooting method in that sense.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] winninh:
I'm hoping someone can help me. I installed the OTA Android 12 update last week. Ever since, apps are opening in the multitasking pane multiple times. E.g. If I have Facebook open, and if I click on a Facebook notification on the status bar, it opens the Facebook app again instead of just going to what the notification "points" to in the already open app. If I do this multiple times, the Facebook app is open that many times. I then have to clear all the open Facebook apps, or hit the Clear All to close them all. I've never encountered this in Android 11 or any previous version of Android.

Is there some setting I'm missing?

Thank you!

WinniNH
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
So what about subsequent updates? If reflashing vbmeta was required when updating from beta to stable, I would assume that it would also be required for the monthly updates - and therefore a data wipe. Dm-verity and verification do not stay disabled if you reflash vbmeta without the flags. I wiped when I installed 12 beta 5, and I was unable to retain data when upgrading to stable. It's really going to suck if we have to wipe /data every time we update vbmeta.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Anonshe:
For the monthly updates, you've to flash the OTA packages via recovery and boot into fastboot immediately to keep vbmeta disabled. Secure boot will then remain turned off, allowing a patched boot image to be booted/flashed.

I've tested this between the betas and stable version. My last test was from Beta 5 to stable where I flashed the OTA via recovery, rebooted to bootloader, ran the fastboot command, and rebooted device. As a result, no data was lost as a wipe wasn't required.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kareeem:
First of all, HUGE thanks to psuarmy, bilbobrian, and bepe (they know why). Last year, in my first period class (basketball), somebody decided to jack my 8525 and took off with it which upset me a lot. Well, i finally got an 8525 so i can cook for it. I've spent quite some time getting it all ready and it's finally good to go.

I offered this same service for the Kaiser and a lot of people seemed to like it so i thought i'd bring it here. It'll bring a lot more load on me, but i'm on summer vacation until the 25th and then school starts (will continue to do this even when i have school hopefully).

Most chefs tend to cook what the majority of the people like including myself. When i cooked my first ROM and asked people for feedback/suggestions, i did get a few programs that everybody liked but there were many suggestions of programs that each different user liked. So i could have cooked Livcast in which Joe wanted, but Mary wouldn't use it at all; that kind of thing ;)

I couldn't get anybody to cook what i wanted so i did it myself :D So i'm opening up this thread for ANYBODY who has a request to cook a ROM which can include ANY program (or rather anything they want). I will cook commercial programs, but will NOT include any license/registration key; that's up to you to get. The format should look something like this:

Programs

: Thousands of these.

Games

: Thousands of these to :)

Version

: Here you can tell me whether you want a cube version, non-cube version, diamond build, etc.

Other

: Whatever else you'd like.

Preferred Upload Host

: Have problems with RS? No problem, just tell me the site and i'll upload it there. I can also upload to Jannaa's blogspot thanks to her generosity!

You can help aplace4u.biz to stay free.

Chances are that I probably have access to the programs you want, so i'll make them to an OEM if i don't already have them.

I'm on summer vacation so I have quite some time and i'd like to devote it in helping out (not just here but anywhere). If this doesn't go so well, i'll just ask a mod to delete the thread.

This is 100% FREE and i'd like to help as much as I can, but if you can/are able to, i have PAYPAL @ ksallstar2013 at yahoo.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Ooo! Like the sound of this.

Programs: Samsung time, iContact, Windows live, office, pocket rar, softkey changer, pocketIRC, Schaps advanced config, Oxios Memory, phm regedit, and finaly pbar.

If you dont have any of these, just ask and ill post them up.

Games: just the default ones will do

Other: button 5 fix, and com manager toggle vibrate fix. As clean as you can, maybe take out error reporting, managed programs, and clear storage as well as the normal stuff like welcome centre.

I would like HTC connection wizard in there as well.

10 button black comm manager, and this dialler.

Version: I dont mind to much, I dont use anything like the Cube, just the newest you have. (WM6.1 of cause) I see build 20273 around, maybe newer if you have it :D

If i missed anything, just say and ill get right back to you!

I've done over 40 ROMs for the Kaiser (look at the thread or a picture here) It's been great assisting people. Can get extremely stressful, however the outcome is well worth it when people like it ;)

any update on my request of 10/12?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dr_tracker:
Ok Kareem, while you are expanding your NBA carreer here is my Rom...

I don´t need much on the apps side (I think), I just want it to be as fast as possible, kind of stable and able to sync with my PC through AS 4.5. Include any DLLs and registry tweaks you deem necessary.

Version: Latest stable

App List:

- Advanced Config 3.3

- Flashlight mapped to Button 5.

- M2DC

- WM5Torage 1.8

- HTC Album, portrait orientation if possible

- Wow HD

- Kevtris and Chess

- G-Alarm

- Opal PhoneCanvas

- USB-to-PC popup

If you can set Office 2007 and Opera 9.5 to install in the Storage Card include them, if not I will install them myself. I don´t need/want CRC Device Update, nor Youtube, nor Google Maps.

Lastly, DVH included SJAcousticParam on the initial customization of the device, and I have not been able to find a Rom that matches it in terms of ring/in call quality and volume, so if you can check this out would be much helpfull to everyone.

the diamon keyboard and dialer whatever version is newest and wont mess with the hardware keyboard ( i hate the t9 being forced on )

how about a close to what a oem at&t 6.1 release would be? or what a vp3G 6.1 would be if he was still cooking for the 8525, including thing like cingular video working, proxy enable and dissable folders, music id and user custom agent set to HTC-8500/1.2 Mozilla/4.0 so on the at&t network it will work with streaming cingular video. i mean not having to have the network setup wizard but just have it configured for at&t or cingular even maybe a at&t boot screen. a lot of guys out there love the old vp3g rom but its old and when i have problems with a new 6.1 thats not working right for me i allways go back to the old vp3g because it works with everything on the at&t network.
