The funny thing is, this could have ALL BEEN AVOIDED. This so-called veteran android person bought the phone out-right at the beginning. It would be another story as he had to buy it from Verizon in payments. This is not the case. He completely paid for the phone from Verizon. That was a dumb mistake. He is trying to make Verizon pay for his stupidity.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bobby janow:
Yes you are correct but it might not have been stupidity merely ignorance. When you buy from Google on their store there are 3 versions, unlocked, Google Fi and Verizon. If you are on a VZW plan it's easy to chose that one if doing it quickly. One red flag is that the Verizon one is $100 more due to the availability of mmWave. I'm sure he won't make that mistake again. If he's outside the return window of 15 days then he's out of luck. The only way to correct the mistake is a full return and repurchase but that's a moot point now.

Sometimes it is hard to avoid simple mistakes when cannabis is involved. You might be an expert at something and then could potentially make a blatant, goofy mistake without even realizing it for a bit too long. And sometimes it could cause the polar opposite to happen!

But, ya know, perhaps I'm totally wrong and the user just likes the number in their username, haha ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

OP dodging with updating us. Must be enjoying his new VZW Pixel while calling Google and Verizon back again and again while drafting legal forms to start a class action lawsuit.

Are you old enough to remember or did you know the whole frivolous lawsuit think started with a woman at Mcdonald's who sued because she burned herself with coffee and the cup didn't say the contents could be hot?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Droid_JD:
100% off topic, but the coffee incident was more about McDonald's ignoring years worth of complaints about their machines malfunctioning and serving coffee at excessively hot temperature (way above what they were supposed to serve it at), and the woman receiving severe burns as a result (I believe third degree).

Oh I'm sorry so stupidity should be rewarded then??
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
Apparently, according to the stupid judge that awarded that woman her lawsuit
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] zetsumeikuro:
Who'd think that hot coffee would be hot and you should be careful hur dur dur. MURICA!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I dunno... There's a difference between something hot you can spill on yourself without serious burns and something that sends you to the hospital. I've certainly spilled coffee on myself before and it hurt but it didn't melt my skin off. A third degree burn is so bad the skin won't grow back without medical intervention.

That's more than a "coffee is hot" situation.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
I just figured out how to lose 20lbs!!

Look, no one disputed the injuries she suffered. The lawsuit was over the cup not announcing that coffee is hot
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JazonX:
Thread is swimming towards a whole different shore now.

Can we have an update OP ?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] immortalwon:
Op update us or B.S. There's no way Google actually gave you a free unlockable bootloader device due to your bad purchase.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] zetsumeikuro:
Well lads looks like OP is full of poo poo! Probably got another Verizon variant and is crying in the corner.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I do have to say I find it interesting that OP has signed in at 8:57PM, and even made a post Saturday....when we're all calling him and talking on his thread here -- both @/mentioning him and posts here should come up on his alerts...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] zetsumeikuro:
Lol. Man is dodging hard and got called out on his BS.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] webhook:
It's been a long time OP since you've updated us, what's the update ? Lol. Update us or your "lawsuit" will be considered a fable.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] letmedanz:
Pro'lly the only thread on XDA where even mods are asking for Updates & ETAs from OP :D
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
Us mods are regular members and have only came from being regular members first...

So many/most of our interactions are in no official capacity (like this one)...

I witnessed him in real time when he first brought it up in a Verizon oem unlocked button locked thread, then to the closed thread when he tried a "call to action" those verizon Pixel owners in attempt to start a class action lawsuit (which was closed because XDA does NOT want to have a legal situation start from here; it's one of the rules "don't get us in trouble"), then saw he made this thread a couple days after it got locked...so I've been following for a while...

I mean, no one took it seriously that it would gain any actual traction and/or believably come to fruition in reality, but were surprised in the OP here that he (supposedly) made one of them cave and correct his error -- particularly in the claim that it was because of his threat of class action lawsuit -- so I imagine that's why many of us watched this thread unfold and/or why he got so many "likes" in his OP. I am of the personal opinion his "likes" should be taken away because it seems like it's under false pretenses at this point...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Droid_JD:
Speaking as an actual lawyer, you can't just "start" a class action, you need to be certified as a class by the judge after filing a complaint. And although"technically" one person can start a class action, one would need to prove to the judge that enough people were harmed by the defendant in order to be certified as a class.

Seeing as xda is primarily (geared towards) modders, and I imagine that there are very few members of the modding community who are unfamiliar with Verizon's bootloader policy, I doubt that threats of class action from one of those members would gain any traction, or that Google/Verizon's world feel threatened.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bobby janow:
Hey been a long time. You still building stuff or out of the game?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bobby janow:
What would the damage even be? Verizon didn't give you something that they never said they'd give? Say on the box the bootloader can't be unlocked? Why are they obligated to do that? This kind of threat has been going on for years and it's tiresome. Entertaining in a way but useless as witnessed by the OP ghosting the thread. But I hope it doesn't get locked I'm sure some people learned from it. Don't buy a branded phone if you can help it is pretty much the bottom line.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] webhook:
People should already know that certain carriers lock their bootloader for security reasons, like you don't want your carrier-subsidized phone to get somewhat backdoored (even though it's rare)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bobby janow:
Yes, and there is a selling point also. Verizon can tell all its Fortune 500 base that the device can't be rooted and thus they have almost complete control over the device through group policy.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] letmedanz:
Too old now for that stress 😬
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bobby janow:
Agree. I don't even unlock these days until I have another phone to use as my DD. It's so different now without titanium and twrp. But it was fun.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] amandeepparmar:
Dear Mods,

This thread looks more humourous and pranky than Jim Carrey!

Kindly delete it as there is not a single update post from OP and the topic looks fake and doesn't categorize in "development". Thank you!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I'm not taking a stance as a mod as I just want to be a spectator to this thread...

But not every thread on the site or forums need to be in the theme or direction towards "development". I must admit that the discussion has gotten a tad off-topic, but not completely unrelated IMO and really unless creator of the OP really states any kind of prohibition of it on the OP and/or makes requests to a mod himself, it's normally allowed. And I think we're all just discussing all this because there has not been any update by the OP so we're kinda hanging around making "bumps" to the thread while still trying to make it look as relevant as we can under the circumstances.

And the OP is dead serious...Like I've stated previous, I've been to 3 of the threads he's brought this up, each time just as serious; this is no prank or just for humor being fake.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] TonikJDK:
I am thinking of starting a class action against the OP for not updating us. Who else wants in?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Paz9:

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] zetsumeikuro:
Count me in! @AndroidAddict420 Must be missing notifications on his Verizon locked Pixel.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] webhook:
I'm in!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dd805bb:
If you bought a Verizon phone, they send a Verizon phone. Hence no update. Poor guy. Probably went off the deep end. Verizon Pixels suck for development.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I'm sorry, but this statement made me 🤣 a little bit...it gave me the image & reason why OP hasn't shown up here yet (imagining it literally)...😅
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I mean...that's exactly what happened initially -- OP mistakenly bought a Verizon variant, blamed that "unlocked" didn't mean "bootloader unlocked" on the retail box, he complained to both Verizon and Google in attempt to get it replaced with a bootloader unlockable variant, they "refused", so he tried to drum up support here for a class action lawsuit (which the thread was closed for breaking rule: don't get XDA in trouble, also after receiving no support), then in this thread's OP supposedly just had to threaten the possibility of a class action lawsuit and supposedly got Google to bend and send on; yet, of course, has not returned here to confirm it has happened.

So it would be an ironic "daisy-chain" if OP threatened class action lawsuit, again, after being refused the second time, and then potentially to infinitum...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dd805bb:
He can go after Google but didn't sell the phone. A Verizon store or retailer originally sold it. Verizon has been threatened many times over this. And never pans out. Their reasoning is unlocking the bootloader can get people to access features of a cellular service normally you pay for, exp, hotspots. There is more too to protect their network. So, Verizon has laid out reasoning why they do that especially a phone not built in-house. Google still sets up and makes their phones but contracted to Verizon, so they are the retailer for the Verizon phones. There have been instances Verizon did send an unlocked phone but it wasn't a Verizon branded phone and slips through the refurbish process. I made the same mistake with a pixel 2 xl years ago. Asked the guy over and over if it was a Verizon phone, I even checked the IMEI and didn't come up as a Verizon phone, but after getting my hands it and actually buying it. It was a Verizon phone. I got rid of that quick and found a Google phone from Google.

So now I only buy from Google or T mobile because their phones can be BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED. Got my first P7P for $159 and and replacement for $5. $5 warranty replacement cost. Oh well. Paid 15% of original cost. Idk about other carriers but I know for fact Google store phones and T-Mobile phones can be unlocked for fact. T-Mobile help via Twitter gets the T-Mobile one unlocked. Say you need it for work to run dual sims. Carrier permanent unlock allows the OEM unlock to be ticked. Fyi. Just my experience. I have been in the OP shoes, but didn't go off the deep end..
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dd805bb:
T-Mobile had a deal if you add a line or switch to them, $159 down and they pay the rest with you service. It's a way around a contract but still have a contract. I have no contract and price locked. Which is cool. Plus they gave me home internet dirt cheap. Also they pay for a couple service like Netflix and Paramount+. Good deal. Service is better than I was getting on Google Fi so can't complain. Both P7P from them I OEM unlocked within 24 hours of having them.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
So...I see that @AndroidAddict420 reacted to a post yesterday (in a thread on the P7P no less), so he's recently been on; but no new posts.

It did give me a thought though...let's say he came in and stated how he "really" did get a non-carrier variant sent to him...honestly, how many of us (on this thread, if anything) would actually believe him, have no doubts, and/or call him a liar? I guess he could do it like reddit verification and show device with a hand holding a scrap of paper showing the OEM unlock not gray....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wangdaning:
He would need the invoice as well showing it was a return, rma, of a verizon device for a google unlabeled one, in my opinion. He somehow managed to get google and verizon to do what no one has by doing something many have.

By what no one has I am not just talking about this device, but many others.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dd805bb:
There is a way. If it is within the year warranty, you can exchange it via Google and they can send a non Verizon one. I have had that happen with Google Fi. Google Fi branded phone I sent into Google and they sent a non branded one back. That is Google Fi, but I have heard of them doing that with Verizon phones too. But with how long it's been, I doubt it. I am about to standard exchange my T-Mobile one, give me a week or so for how long it takes to send and get it back. And I will report back. (fyi T-Mobile already replaced it but I sent back an S8. Waiting for that to clear return before sending the broke one to Google.)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AndroidAddict420:
I get Pixels every year, usually I get Google Branded or TMO and haven't had a VZW since Pixel OG.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dd805bb:
Then why start this thread?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AndroidAddict420:
Well after sending me a Brand New VZW Pixel 7 Pro because they screwed up, I DID GET MY Brand NEW Google Branded PIXEL 7 PRO and had a Supervisor email me on a Sunday and ask for a call back # and (2) emails after the phone call to make sure I was Happy!!!

Since 2010, with Nexuses and all the Pixels I have had, this would be the 1st time Google Swapped a VZW Model for a Google Branded Device...

I always get my way....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dd805bb:
Did you get directly from Google? Because I have heard of that.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] gamer765:
I find OPs post to be unlikely. In USA, the moment you threaten a lawsuit to a business, you are literally shutting the door in your own face as any support personnel will immediately get quiet and kindly refer you to speak to their legal department. Also if you've provided any identifiable information, you sort of get tagged/blacklisted and if you try to contact again for any other reason you'll automatically get forwarded to the legal department.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AndroidAddict420:
On Top of that, I traded my (2) Broken Google Pixel 6 Pros to VZW, they gave me $900 for 1 and $208 for the other. I got the 7 Pro for free and they are paying me $25 a month!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AndroidAddict420:
No it's been for 3-4 years since Android 10. The last VZW Pixel I had was an OG XL and as long as it booted 1st without a SIM, it never registered on VZW network so it was unlockable.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AndroidAddict420:
Yea that's exactly what happened because the RA form said VZW and I questioned the Support Rep 3 times, and got a VZW model, then I got a Google Branded within the week.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AndroidAddict420:
WRONG!!!🤣😂🤣😂
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AndroidAddict420:
No Slick, I was going by General Rule of Thumb, boot without a SIM so it didn't register to network, which was patched in 10.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] AndroidAddict420:
Go pound Sand, I hope u got stuck with a VZW variant

Today I tried to flash its stock rom following the guide on the official website, but seems it's stuck, the download speed apparentely is decreasing over time and almost an hour have been passed.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] sirgawain123:
Whatsapp has started to open in inner screen in two columns, as in a tablet.

On the outer screen it works as usual: 1 column.

I dont know if cause is whatsapp version upgrade, or one ui 5.1 , but I want the one column layout back to my inner screen.

I can't find a setting for that
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] goattee:
I can't promise that this will solve it but: look in the Galaxy Store for Good Lock. Install it and also MultiStar. Multistar allows customization of displays for apps that cooperate. Let us know if that does what you want.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] sirgawain123:
Thanks, but B4 asking for help, had been tinkering with Multistar to no avail.

Can't get back to traditional 1 column layout. Stuck on tablet 2 column mode as soon I open the fold to use the I ner screen
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] m_w_clarke:
Open the phone in to tablet/unfolded mode, then go to Settings->Advanced features->Labs->App split view and disable for WhatsApp (on my phone, that is the only app lised in that menu)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] m_w_clarke:
I'm bumping this, because I noticed my WhatsApp had changed back to split screen. So I went to change it back and the option I described above is now missing. Very strange.

Anyone else having issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] sirgawain123:
Yep, I have Whatsapp NOT listed in the app listing for said option.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] m_w_clarke:
I'm wondering if an update to WhatsApp has removed this functionality 🤔
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] sirgawain123:
That is my guess too
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Olesya13:
Hi. Have you tried looking in the settings of WhatsApp itself?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] sirgawain123:
Not such a setting. Or its very well hidden
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] m_w_clarke:
Yes, I've been through all the app settings and it's not there.

Either an update to OneUI or WhatsApp is needed I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] sirgawain123:
Solved

Whatsapp has finally included a setting for one or two columns in latest release!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] m_w_clarke:
Thanks!

For those wondering, it is in the App settings -> Chats -> Side-by-side view
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Saima14:
Hey there! 👋

It seems like WhatsApp's layout change on your inner screen might be due to a recent update or a compatibility adjustment with the One UI 5.1. While these changes can be a bit disorienting, let's try to troubleshoot and get that single-column layout back on your inner screen.

Firstly, check if there's an option within WhatsApp itself for adjusting the layout. Usually, these settings can be found in the app's settings menu. Look for any options related to screen layout, display, or multi-column view.

If you can't find any settings within WhatsApp, it might be worth exploring the settings on your device:

Device Settings: Navigate to your phone's settings and look for display or screen settings. There might be an option there that impacts how apps are displayed, especially on foldable or multi-screen devices.

One UI Settings: Since it's a Samsung device with One UI 5.1, check if there are specific settings related to the display or multi-screen functionality within the One UI settings.

WhatsApp Updates: Make sure your WhatsApp is up-to-date. Sometimes, app updates come with changes to the user interface, and the developers might provide options to switch between different layouts.

Samsung Support: If all else fails, consider reaching out to Samsung's customer support. They might have insights into whether this change is due to the device's software or if there's a setting that can be adjusted.

I hope this helps, and you get your preferred layout back on your inner screen! If you find a solution or if there are other community members experiencing the same thing, sharing your findings could be really helpful. 🤞✨

Hi everyone, I went to buy the device from a private seller and not in a store, when I saw the device I realized that it was intact with nothing brand new, really, with the box, all accessories improved by that. say, I took the device, I put my controller chip, I got the signal normally, I continued with the initial configuration to do some tests, but at the end of the initial configuration, it presented the message in the image below. "Cell phone blocked, please contact us by email contato@motorolastore.com.br" In this case, the owner of the device has the invoice for the purchase, he paid for the device in cash, it was stopped without having been turned on and tested, what could have happened and is there a way to solve this via software?
