Ok. Thank you, all. Once the device is carrier unlocked, will I be able to remove the Verizon bloatware? That's my biggest concern now. I can live with a locked bootloader as long as the provided OS allows me to control what software is and is not running.

I bought the carrier variant for a few reasons:

I've already settled on Verizon as my carrier for the long haul. I bounced around between MVNOs, Google Fi, and T-mobile before landing on Verizon ~18mo ago. It has been a better experience for a little less money after taking advantage of so many promotions - several of which hinge on my home ISP being Verizon as well.

The trade-in value is pretty solid. I don't value it at $700 like they say as it's really just $19/mo off my bill for 3 years. It's not clear to me what happens if I upgrade my device or decide to cancel service in that time... they just stop providing the discount?

I never felt the need to root my last phone. I did it for a while, and many of my necessary apps detected this and stopped working. I've gathered that this is something the community has addressed now, but it still speaks to the time/benefit of going through the process to root and try out different things that rooting enables. I have less time to research and try out various options than I once did. My suspicion is that I'll be happy enough with the factory OS. The only things that would change this would be if I cannot remove Verizon bloatware. I'm not forefiting that kind of control of my $1k phone for a $20/mo reimbursement.

mmWave sounds cool, but I'm not convinced it'll have a meaningful impact on my usage. Perhaps when I'm in a large city and there's congestion on the other bands... This is a very minor point.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
agreed...

you can always buy the Google unlocked variant and just activate it on your carrier (in this case, Verizon as OP's carrier), instead of purchasing the specific carrier variant.

At the very least I plan on purchasing the unlocked variant and activating it on Verizon....

If anything, @SethW, if it is truly important to you to do all the additional "fun" stuff like root, tether, custom ROMs, and all the other stuff (like it is to many/most of us on this forum)...you should still be in the return period. You might want to try the route of returning it and purchasing the Google unlocked variant to be certain you can unlock the bootloader -- and therefore root and other things.

EDIT

@SethW's reply just popped up while I was replying and just got in right before my post, so I wanted to address it...

It's okay to be on Verizon. I've been with them for decades and okay with them. It's good that you tried out a bunch and have your reasons to use them. By all means, you can/should use the P7P with them.

But to address your other concerns about the Verizon bloatware -- I'm fairly certain if you purchased the carrier specific Verizon variant, it will have its bloatware and you will not be able to remove it. There might be tricks to hide & help ignore it, but [usually] you aren't going to be able to remove it (at least without root, which you will not be able to do since Verizon bootlocks their devices; also, if it were rootable, you would have an unlocked variant and would not have bloatware in the first place :-P ) [fun fact: in the earliest days of Android smartphones, the whole reason to root one's phone was to get rid of said bloatware; now, one has to purchase directly from Google and get their variant to even get a chance to root outside of carrier control]. Now I've never purchased a carrier variant from Google nor have I met anyone who has, so it might be different since you purchased it from Google store and not Verizon store, but I can't imagine Verizon wouldn't hold Google to their restrictions even if it's from Google's store -- I mean, what's the difference/purpose selling a carrier variant without any of said carrier's restrictions when Google could just sell Google's unlocked variant and just load it on the carrier's network?

TL;DR If it's a carrier (Verizon) variant, it most likely will have the carrier's bloatware; and you cannot remove it; even if the OS is as customizable as Android.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] SethW:
I'm definitely thinking about a return already. The agreements states 'unlocked after 60 days' which I read as fully unlocked, rather than some partial unlocking they've come up with. It really hinges on whether or not I can fully control the OS of the phone after it's 'carrier' unlocked.

EDIT - in response to @simplepinoi177 's edit

Well then. Returning it for sure. Didn't even think to mention ad-blocking apps and such but I rely on those. Makes my stomach turn when I see someone using a device without robust ad-blocking. Without root, that's probably on the chopping block too.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Keep in mind, it's not just Verizon. All U.S. carriers, when they say unlocked, they only mean carrier unlocked. It's not just something Verizon came up with. As far as they're concerned, it will be fully unlocked.

Good luck with your return and re-purchase!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Wi1son:
The unlocked phone from Amazon is the same as the unlocked one from Google, isn't it?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Yep
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
Also, if you check the Amazon description, under "Wireless Carrier", it states "Unlocked", so it's a safe bet that it's actually unlocked like the Google variant and not the way carrier's state "unlocked" like it's not "contractually bound" or "locked" to the carrier....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] synesthete:
If you have the Verizon model, you can disable some of the VZW bloatware with ADB, but not all of it. If you disable some of the VZW specific packages, it won't boot and you will have to go through recovery. I was really annoyed when I found out that I couldn't unlock the bootloader on the VZW model of my Pixel 3XL. On my previous phone I had relied on particular mods to make my life easier (I'm unilaterally deaf).

I would certainly return it for the unlocked Google version while the window is open, just in case you ever need to unlock the bootloader.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] SethW:
Refused delivery and requested FedEx return it to sender - as instructed by Google Support. In spite of this, FedEx tried to delivery every day for the past week. They're finally sending it back to Google. I suspect they'll refund it soon. I'm really annoyed that I'm apparently going to miss out on the $200 google store promotion. I was looking forward to trying out the pro earbuds for free.

6) Then reboot to system and do local update to OOS 12 C.48

7) No more dual sim problem on global OOS12 and you can also relock bootloader
[OnePlus 9] rizzmughal:
Does this msm support the devices which r stuck with target id india
[OnePlus 9] rizzmughal:
Can i update it to c.63 will still be there no dual sim bug
[OnePlus 9] Deleted member 11031719:
If you do incremental ota to c.63 , it will be just like updating to OOS13. You will get a null imei 2. SIM will work without any problem.
[OnePlus 9] rizzmughal:
When i did before it was same but mobile data wont work
[OnePlus 9] Deleted member 11031719:
If you used msm conversion package, then thats totally different. Second IMEI is not NULL if you use msm conversion method and there is NO SIM error. I know what you are talking about. If you use the new method, everything works.
[OnePlus 9] rizzmughal:
Then i m going for it
[OnePlus 9] rizzmughal:
Tried ur way its the same 2nd imei is null and mobile data aint working
[OnePlus 9] Deleted member 11031719:
Data is working fine for me on OOS13. Don't think the two methods have same outcome, because you don't have to wait everytime after reboot for loading sim.
[OnePlus 9] rizzmughal:
I did reboot i m on c.63 data aint working will try updating oos13
[OnePlus 9] rizzmughal:
Still no data on oos13
[OnePlus 9] rizzmughal:
I guess the problem here is no matter how we flash we have flash tmo msm India mod and we r stuck with target is of India no matter what we do to convert we get dual sim bug we have to find a way to change target Id back to tmo
[OnePlus 9] Deleted member 11031719:
Data is a different story. Atleast NO SIM bug is fixed.
[OnePlus 9] rizzmughal:
There was never no sim bug for was always no data bug using oos 13 with magisk module fix
[OnePlus 9] rizzmughal:
Also on ething i noticed till c.48 in settings about device model number is 2117 but after c.63 or oos13 when dual sim bug appears model number is 2115 may be this has something to do with this dual sim bug
[OnePlus 9] Mmcx125:
If you have a connection it will be an APN issue.
[OnePlus 9] Deleted member 11031719:
If you convert through msm method and update to oos13, you will have weird sim bugs. If you reboot phone, your sim will not load for atleast a minute or two. That problem is gone with new conversion method.
[OnePlus 9] rizzmughal:
For me i wanted to say
[OnePlus 9] rizzmughal:
No its not apn related problem
[OnePlus 9] Deleted member 11031719:
My phone model was LE2115 even on C.48

As far as I understand, you'll need an eSIM to use LTE/4G on the watch. You need to check with your carrier if they can provide one for you.

Can I use a Mint plan on my smartwatch? | Mint Mobile

Unfortunately, Mint plans do not support smartwatches right now.

[Google Pixel Watch] masterdave2002:
I assume the lack of support has to do with whatever is running in the background that allows the watch to use the same number as the phone. What if the phone wasn't part of it? Activate the watch on a plan, give it its own number. The watch wouldn't be a companion device. These watches are just phones shrunk down and can work on their own. I found a Galaxy Watch4 on Swappa with the IMEI number posted. I entered it into Mint's checker and it came back as a compatible device. What if the sim from a phone were install into a watch that uses a physical sim?

It is possible to load a sim for phones on the watch.

Never had this issue here, but try to reset all settings(not factory settings). Try first with 'Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth' , if doesn't help try with 'Reset all settings' .

As you are rooted, you will NOT receive OTA updates. You will need to Download the firmware, patch the AP file on phone with Magisk and flash the entire firmware in ODIN (using the Patched AP file)...

This has been stated multiple times...

If you did get n OTA update it would cause problems as it would most definitely unroot your phone...

Hello guys,

I hope someone can help my. I have this head unit, the issue is it that I changed the boot logo from the settings and it got in a bootloop.

I flashed it with SP Flash tool and ofcourse my dumb **s forgot to unselect the preloader and now the device have only black screen with no signs of life except for the test point, but I can't seem to find the right preloader.bin to flash. I have a 9211 firmware for ota update, but the scatter file is not compatible with SP Flash tool, it has one line per partition, I think I fixed it, by combining it with scatter for 9312AJ, but the firmware for 9312AJ doesn't seem to be compatible, and when trying to flash the one I have for 9211 I still am no successful. If anyone happen to have a dump for this device I would be very greatful.

I daily drive a Redmi Note 10 Pro (great phone for anyone having a 250 euro budget if you can get the 8GB version) and decided to swap roms after getting fed up with MIUI's bull****, I ended up installing Pixel OS via ADB Sideload. After a while, I decided to root my phone (mainly to install some mods for the OS such as Dolby Atmos support etc.) and installed TWRP. However TWRP won't mount storage posting "Failed to mount storage" and pressing "Reboot to system" leads to a message saying "No OS detected", before booting back into Pixel OS just fine. Some people are saying that doing a Dalvik Cache and Cache wipe is supposed to fix this issue, however I can't do that if I cant even mount the storage. Another solution people are throwing around is reinstalling your basic recovery, doing a complete factory reset then installing TWRP and your custom OS. All of these solutions are a huge pain in the butt and I would like to avoid resetting my whole phone for the 4th time in 2 months. Has anyone experienced this and can suggest a fix, or is it something I can attribute to Android 12 not being supported by TWRP yet?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Elinx:
imho you have done it in the wrong sequence, because installing a rom, means encrypting storage.

It could be that you have installed the wrong version of Twrp that doesn't support A12 or that encryption is the reason Twrp can't mount storage anymore.

TWRP is really unclear about wether it supports Android 12 on it's latest release. I've seen many YouTube videos of people daily driving this particular phone, with Pixel OS and TWRP installed so I don't think it has anything to do with the encryption. It may have something to do with me installing my OS via ADB Sideload and installing a custom recovery afterwards

Hey all. I have a Poco X3 pro and I am very confused by the restore from iphone and icloud folders which are visible when the phone is plugged into a laptop.

the file pathways are: internal shared storage>dcim>downloaded from icloud and internal shared storage>pictures>restored from iphone.

Also there are .thumbnails folder with .database_uuid in every root folder

They either survive a factory reset or are created when the phone is reset. Even on all custom roms I have tried.

I can't find anything about them online- it could be a malware or simply a by-product of a program the phone uses if you are switching from iphone to android.

BUT I never had an apple product.
