Thank you...

Damn complicated !

I started to follow those instructions:

That is, creating a CWSLayout key in the registry and a CurLang one.

However, it doesn't seem to work as advertised.

If CWSLayout is exists and is not zero, then the keyboard will be in ASCII ; but it's the TILT layout (different Fn shortcuts than the WWE version)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ejaramillo:
Change registry

Change registry as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/HARDWARE/DEVICEMAP/KEYBD/CurLang to 1033 (decimal DWORD data); then you need to soft reset

your hardware keyboard will now be mapped to universal english qwerty

Hi...

This is the value I had tried earlier (it's in the link I provided) and it doesn't work.. it stays as AZERTY
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ejaramillo:
you must soft reset
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jyavenard:
so did I...

no difference.

I reflashed the TyTN II with HTC official French ROM, that registry mod doesn't work on it either

my twrp is locked, when i enter twrp i need to type password, that i didnt set. When i try to wipe data or install ROM, seems like twrp just cant have acess to data. Its happening on motorola one xt1941-4. Can anyone help me?

btw sorry for my bad english im from poland :)

also if i use wrong device thread im so sorry
[Motorola One Power Questions & Answers] Martin40645:
does it say decrypt data?

if it does your system has encrypted the data partition

the password may be your lock pin/password

if you want to access it you have to format it

but next time you turn on your phone the phone will encrypt the data again.

the thing is that i have pattern on unlock :/ but ill try to change it and see what happens
[General Questions and Answers] bflmpsvz:
Hello, I was trying to revive older Samsung phone and stuck in unbootable state: successfully flashed stock ROM through Odin, unlocked OEM, enabled USB debugging, then successfully flashed TWRP through Odin and lost the ability to flash anything, except TWRP. Now the phone is wiped as for system and data and only bootable mode is TWRP. If I try again clean flash stock ROM, I get error

<ID:0/006> Complete(Write) operation failed.

Is the state recoverable or did I irreversibly brickwall the phone? Moreover I can't see phone storage in TWRP neither see it through adb (latest drivers installed).
[General Questions and Answers] ze7zez:
Since TWRP works, the phone is not a brick.

You may have corrupted partitions other than recovery or twrp is inappropriate. Write what TWRP file you used.
[General Questions and Answers] bflmpsvz:
Thank you, it has been resolved by ROM with matching binary version.

Summary list of NOT recommended screen protectors

:

Caseology

Spigen AlignMaster

Supershieldz

IMPORTANT information:

I ordered the Supershieldz 3-pack directly from their website for $10 with free shipping. Amazon has it for $8, but you have to have Prime or order a minimum of $35 to get free shipping.

Supershieldz has already slapped a USPS tracking number on mine. No indication yet just how fast they'll actually ship it, or I get it.

My Supershieldz "review", of sorts: (TL;DR went on fine, but seems to be missing 1mm around the entirety of the screen protector)

Pixel Watch 2 thread here:

Screen protectors for Pixel Watch 2 thread

Supershieldz has screen protector 3-packs for the Pixel Watch, which I'm seeing indication of would work on the Pixel Watch 2 just fine.

This year there's hope for easier tgsp on the p8pro. It being flat screen at last... :D
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Ultimoose:
Good to know on the watch shields, thanks!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Galaxea:
Just saw this review on Amazon for the one you described :

"The Pixel 8 Pro no longer has a curved screen. It's now flat and these do not fit."
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
These look flat to me in the pictures (and on their website). I do see that comment, but I guess we'll find out what's going on when I get mine directly from Supershieldz.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] LLStarks:
I got two different sets today in the mail. Both look as advertised and one is notched. But at least that one comes with a tray.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Think I'll start with the IMBZBK until more come out. Not keen on notched ones so either a hole or no hole. Wish Omoton still made screen protectors for Google phones. They were my go-to back in the Nexus days.

EDIT: Apparently Omoton does make a TGSP for the Pixel 8 Pro. However, it's .33mm so not sure how well it will work with the fingerprint sensor. the IMBZBK is .22mm thick.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] bouchigo:
This is the one that I got. It looked the best to me. It should be arriving tomorrow; a lot of good that will do since I won't be getting the phone until the 12th.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] sgvjon:
in case anyone else was waiting for whitestone dome screen protectors, i just ordered off their website. i ordered one of the hard coated, and another of their tgsp.

Will get the Spigen AlignMaster glass until we get the "proper" protectors on Amazon (with curing glue via UV light), those usually come ~4-6 weeks after launch.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
The same ones I ordered. That 4 pack will last awhile
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Thanks for the news. I can't tell if the Front EA ones have a notch for the camera, a hole, or if it just covers the front camera completely. The picture for the hard coated clearly shows a notch - if it's an accurate representation, but I can't tell at all for the Front EA one.

Whitestone has them Dome Glass
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Wow, Zagg has some super expensive screen protectors.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Aphex13:
I just got a set of these in the mail today. There's no front camera cutout on them, and they're 0.25 thick. I really dislike any sort of front camera notch or hole on TGSPs. Dust and smudges like to collect there, and result in bad pictures, video calls, etc.

I'm not sure how much of a gap there is on the sides, because I don't have the phone yet...

Amazon.com
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] foobar66:
Whitestone Dome is simply the best. Had it on my P6P . However, I recall that the first time I totally ****ed it up and the glue was all over my phone. Luckily they had 2 protectors in the box. The second fit was fine. Very strong protector, worked always well with the fingerprint scanner. But expensive.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] funone64:
It has been a long time since I have used a screen saver and never had an issue. Out of precaution I did order

IMBZBK and they are smaller than my P7P screen. Am I missing something?

GSMArena shows the P8P screen as .3mm shorter and .1mm narrower than the P7P screen. Plus no stupid curve. :)
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Ordered two of the 1TB Obsidian on 10/4/2023 about 9 PM ET. They estimate October 25-26 for delivery.

I ordered them each on separate accounts, since both my wife and I had Google Store credit to use up. I ordered two Apple iPhone 11 64 GB in Good condition to use as trade-ins for the P8Ps since in my research, they give the greatest margin of profit/discount, with the iPhone 12 being in second place.

I might keep our P7Ps as spares since all other spares we have are ancient, but we'll see. I might still decide to sell on Swappa. Time will tell.

Edit: Oh yeah, the Watch 2 is estimated for delivery November 8-9.

10/06 Update:

My phone estimate has now gone from originally 10/25 to:

Ordered – Delivers Oct 12 - Oct 13

Pixel 8 Pro Obsidian 1TB (Unlocked)

Watch 2 still says:

Ordered – Delivers Nov 8 - Nov 16

Same with my wife's, except her watch is also 10/12 (different color than mine)

...and...credit card just got charged!

10/08 Update: The Watch 2 now says October 25-26, where it had been Nov 8-16.

10/09 Update: I can no longer cancel my phone order.

10/10 Update: No email yet, but the Google Store shows a FedEx tracking number (estimated October 12th delivery)! Coming from CAROL STREAM, IL US. "Label created", so not actually shipped yet, so that explains not getting an email yet.

10/11 Update: One of our two phones (ordered separately) is in FedEx's hands as of midnight Eastern Time, but the other is not, yet.

Still no email from Google saying that either has shipped.

Oh, received one of the two of iPhone 11s yesterday that I'll trade in, and tested perfectly, and the other will arrive today.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] rester555:
My ship date is 10/12/2023 since I ordered when the links became available. One 256gb Obsidian P8P. You peaked my interest though, did you buy the iphone 11s from swappa?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Cool. I definitely hesitated. :) Yes, I ordered them through Swappa. I have a tracking number for one of the iPhone 11's so far.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] dmarden:
I ordered the 512GB 8 Pro and the Watch on Amazon and both had a 10/14 delivery ETA... but then I realized (because of comments on XDA) that there was a bundle where as I ordered separately. So I canceled both orders and ordered the combo with the free watch. No ETA at all now, lol.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Oh yeah, the Watch 2 is estimated for delivery November 8-9 for me (ordered directly from the Google Store).
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Ultimoose:
Ordered around noon CST a porcelain 512 pro then changed my mind, I've had all the white or panda pixels to date and decided new year, new me and canceled and switched to a blue one about an hour later. ETA is Oct 12-14.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Birdsfan:
I went with porcelain 256, est. Oct. 12-13. I looked at my Pixel 4XL which is only 128gb's and my Pixel 7 Pro which is 256 and I'm using 50+/- gb's so why go bigger.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I figure *if* I actually keep the P8P through all 7 major Android version updates that it'll get (and I might), who knows how much storage I'll need by 2030!

Any bets on how big Android 21 will be? :)
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Birdsfan:
Makes sense. I have a phone problem and generally last only a year before I get bored.

Really! Mine was the 12th, but I chose to do instore pickup instead
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] randallw:
I delayed myself in ordering, as I wasn't sure if I would go with Verizon or not for the better trade-in value.

Think I'm just going to try and go to the new Mountain View Google Store when it opens on Oct. 12th and buy the phone there (and hopefully the watch is in stock).

Finally officially available in the Belgian Google store; ordered P8P in obsidian. Estimated ETA: Oct 12 (which is pretty fast). My P6P will move to the wife ;-) so she can finally get rid of an older OnePlus phone.

Not sure if I will root this time round ... will try to start using the phone without rooting. Never got Google wallet to work with root and the Belgian app called Itsme gets better and better in root detection with every upgrade.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] bouchigo:
We all know you're getting the Pixel 9 Pro when comes out...lol

The Google order I cancelled was set to be delivered on Oct 12th. My Best Buy order is set for Oct 12th too, and doing an in store pick up. I think if ordered early enough on Oct 4th, then Oct 12th is the earliest delivery/pickup date. I believe that is the actual release date of the phone.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] sgvjon:
ordered during the livestream, est delivery oct 12-13.

FedEx beat UPS just barely for me today, too. I think UPS came with my trade-in boxes (for the iPhone 11's I just bought) maybe less than an hour after FedEx delivered our devices. UPS was in the neighborhood for a very long time (hours) before they got to me.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] bouchigo:
Just picked mine up about an hour ago from Best Buy. I haven't even taken them out of the box yet, still sealed.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Tomorrow. Got the trade-in kit 2 days ago , I think???
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] CHH2:
Weird! My trade-in kit hasn't even shipped yet.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Morgrain:
It was also the same case in Europe.

Google here sends the trade-in packs via FedEX, which is fast, and the phone and the watch itself via national carriers, which are always slower. No idea why Google refuses to use FedEX for the phones...

It's probably more expensive. But then again, why would they use that for the trade-in packs? Makes little sense to me.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] AmyClaraRose:
Finally got tracking for my phone today due to be delivered tomorrow got to wait until 27th to claim watch thou as I got my device via network carrier so going to be waiting until December probably for watch

The google case is really nice. Pretty grippy actually, has a soft touch. I was worried it would be slippery
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Just got an email from Google that my trade-in kit is on its way 🤣
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
So you get to trade-in two devices for discounts? Sweet!

I've tested and updated the two iPhone 11's I bought to use for trade-ins. It's kinda nice not having any pressure to quickly be done with my P7P. For once, I remembered to migrate all my work apps including several work-only 2FA apps, before (normally) wiping the old phone. Stupid work only allows 2FA on a single device, and you got to jump through hoops if you don't migrate them properly.

I might end up opting the P7P into the Beta program. Who knows, maybe I'll even...unroot. Hmmmm, that's crazy talk.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yeah, I'm glad I'm keeping my P7P and trading in my P6P. They were only offering $20 more for the P7P so I didn't think that was worth it.

Now, about that unrooting......do we need to have an intervention??? 🤣
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who's in that club of having both phones. I should be tempted to try to sell our two P7Ps for a lot more than that trade-in offer, but I don't know.

LOL! I won't lock the bootloader, at least. It'll just be nice to get Beta OTAs automatically. Heck, I can always root just one slot if and when I want, if I need to for testing something on a Beta release.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] gettinwicked:
So, after some BS with Amazon, mine finally shipped today. BUT, to top off the issues I already had, they are sending it via USPS, when the warehouse it is being sent from is like 15 minutes from my house... They could have sent it through Amazon delivery and it would have been here today... OMFG Amazon... Now I have to wait an entire 'nother day! lol
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] AmyClaraRose:
was due to get my device today but DPD decided to not deliver it and said package was refused so i had to spend 2 hours on the phone to DPD and Three UK to rearrange delivery for tomorrow so hopefully it comes tomorrow

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] LLStarks:
I returned my locked Pro and got an unlocked one from Best Buy. Maybe I'll sell the free watch.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Now that the pre-order period is over, Google dropped the value of trade-ins quite considerably.

For when buying a Pixel 8 Pro:

Pixel 6 Pro (128GB): Was $400. Now $150

Pixel 7 Pro (128GB): Was $420. Now $274

😶
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Wow. That's crazy. Even more reason for me to maybe hold onto the 8 Pro for 7 years. :)

I lucked out again for the third year in a row. All my wife's and my shipments of devices, and trade-ins of two iPhone 11's at full value I bought on Swappa for the purpose, all worked out without a hitch. So maybe waiting 7 years would be necessary to replenish the good karma I've had.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] DanielF50:
It's infuriating that the 6 Pro (256gb) is only worth £242 trade-in, in the UK, but I can't imagine only getting £123 ($150) for a phone I paid £950 for & kept in pristine condition for 2 years 🫠
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] wangdaning:
You can get these phones knew in box still, so not that amazing. It was amazing they were offering that trade in value to begin with.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
On Swappa, just today, a user has paid $504 for a Mint condition, but still used Verizon Pixel 7 Pro (128 GB), and another user paid $485 for an unlocked model of the same kind (imagine paying more for a Verizon variant than unlocked!)

Well, just look at the screenshots below:

Spoiler content hidden.

Not quite as good, but there are still some higher used sales of the Pixel 6 Pro, than the trade-in value:

Spoiler content hidden.

But yeah, it's normal for trade-in values to be better on pre-orders than when not on pre-orders. They may up the trade-in values offered for the "Black Friday" sales later this month.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
The watch may not be included by then. I made this mistake last year with the P7P, held off and lost out on the free gift, which I think was like a $200 store credit but definitely don;t get a carrier locked phone
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Morgrain:
There was a leak 2 days ago from a German Media-Markt ad, having the specific release date visible in the fine print.

Sadly I can't find the original, only a repost, and that one got toned down in pixels due to the whole re-posting, re-hosting. The fine print there is not readable.

The repost I was able to find: https://i.ibb.co/wYt8qBm/Img-2023-10-04-09-47-57.jpg

If someone can find the original picture posted, we should be able to confirm the 12th Oct.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Touché'! :)

I notice Best Buy doesn't have the 1TB model (what I ordered). It's still great that they offer $550 for any Pixel 7 or Pro for trade-in. It's surprised me that the amount offered doesn't differ by storage sizes for recent years' models.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] bobby janow:
Not any P7 or P7P. My P7 which is 128GB only gets $450 trade-in no matter if it's the P8 or the P8P. Where can I get your deal? ;-)
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Oh, yeah, you're right. My mistake. :) But yeah, no matter what the storage size is, the price is the same within the same model.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
Mine is 128 Gb and I got the $550 so the P7 is the difference
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Birdsfan:
It's a little frustrating knowing these devices are just "sitting" waiting to ship. I saw a YouTuber yesterday who manages an AT&T store show the P8P off. He said they received their shipment of them and now it's a waiting game till the release date.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] bouchigo:
I noticed that too, and I debated on whether I wanted the 1TB variant. I've had the 512GB version for the Pixel 6 Pro and 7 Pro, and I've averaged between 320GB and 375GB of free space all the time since I pay for Google storage and I don't save ROMs or backups on my phone anymore.

If we're lucky maybe the 1TB version may bring $100 dollars more at trade-in than the 512GB version, and I didn't want to pay an extra $240 with taxes for storage I wasn't going to use...at least that's how I convinced myself not to get the 1TB variant...lol

In the US I believe it's Oct 12th. I see this at the Best By site:

I canceled my google store purchase of the phone and watch. It is a much better deal at bestbuy. You get more for the phone trade-in ($550 best buy vs $420 google store) and the phone is available on Oct. 12 with the watch.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] xray49er:
Ordered mine during the presentation. delivery date is 10-12 - 10-13 I got the 256gb bay color unlocked with the watch
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Another factor for going through the Google Store is using Google Store credit you might have, and might get, if you are a Google One subscriber.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yeah, I had a $200 credit that expires next week so had to go through Google Store because of that. Lower trade-in value than Best Buy, but the credit made up for that and more. Bye bye Raven...
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] kheltek:
Google store or Best buy?

I ordered on 10/4 as soon as the order page went up on Google, went with the 128 gb bay, planning to sell the watch (I'm a distance runner so Garmin is more my jam), sold my 7 pro last week for $520 and used my $200 credit. Should arrive by 10/12 (but I won't be upset if it's a day or two earlier lol).
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Ultimoose:
Yes, $120 credit for the next time. Of course you're locked into google's SRP pricing versus real world pricing anywhere else but eh. I have google one so I get 10% on any purchase in store credit.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I might use mine towards Pixel Buds Pro when they're on sale again, since we're both getting the watches.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] rester555:
I used my credit for the Pixel Tablet. I like it a lot even if it's not as good as other tablets and the drawbacks of the speakers.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ram4ufriends:
Yes, but the only catch is that BestBuy only gives Black Pixel Watch by default and you can't choose another color.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] kingpeppermint:
Can be worse in the uk we have to claim a watch after receiving the phone, within their (which is a week at the end of October i beleive) timeframe and you have no control over which color they ship.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Morgrain:
My Google Store order just went to status "Ready to ship". Maybe it'll arrive earlier than the 12th.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] kondi10:
What are you talking about? I've ordered 2 phones, and had to decide on watches immediately. It was bought on Thursday night. Estimated delivery for both is Thursday 12th.
