On the advice of this thread, I looked on the verizon store for the pixel and they have one available to buy online: xl, black 128gb, just what I want. Question: I am on t-mobile. The verizon ones are unlocked, get the updates at the same time, and have 3 verizon apps on which I can just uninstall. Are the verizon pixels any different otherwise? Can I use my verizon pixel with t-mobile? I've got the sim already. edit: loving lol, it will ship march 21. Google is missing the boat here. At this point I should wait to see what else is coming out. edit 2: VVV this is "retail full price". They still would need me to get a plan? redreader fucked around with this message at 22:56 on Feb 9, 2017 |

It'll work just fine except that I'm pretty sure Verizon won't let you buy a phone without a plan.

Verizon Pixel works fine on T-Mobile, and there are no differences unless you want to root it. If you do want to root it, then the difference matters and you'd have to be careful so you don't brick your phone.

Even if they do require plan, you might be able to do some dumb pay as you go 1 day thing. I don't actually know, but something to check.

I'm dumb and bought an LG G5 after having great luck with the G3. My third replacement is supposed to be arriving today and I really don't know what to do with this loving phone. I don't follow the phone game much but is it common for a phone to be so unreliable?

Oneplus is being oneplus again: https://www.xda-developers.com/two-critical-oneplus-33t-bootloader-security-flaws-discovered-one-patched-and-other-being-addressed/ I just copied this poo poo from reddit because  quote:TLDR:- With a combination of the vulnerabilities , you can even push a root app to the phone before entering credentials and it boots with no warning from verified boot , dm-verity is disabled , bootloader unlocked (says locked though) and with 'Enable OEM unlock' disabled and most of the vulnerabilities are fastboot commands.

Outside of their software being absolute garbage with examples of the above, what are the thoughts on DASH charging? From what I have read, it sounds like something that QuickCharge or Fast/Rapid charge for USB-C Should have been, where it offloads the work onto the charger and allows the phone to fast charge without heating up which ends up shortening the life of the battery. While USB-C fast charging standards and charger/cable quality are a friggin clusterfuk still, it still sounds like DASH is/was a good idea but how is it in real life use?

-OPO phones start spraying searing acid out of the headphone port "It can be used in self defense!" -OPO phones start randomly uploading pictures of user's dicks to various social media sites "Well, at least someone will see it now". -OPO phone displays start spontaneously shattering and shooting razor sharp chunks of glass at people's eyes "Well, now I get to take advantage of my health plan at work!"

Funnily enough, they released a new OS version today, and it's still on December 2016 security patch level.

There's some evidence to suggest the bootloop issue (which I'm assuming is what you're having trouble with) is a problem inherent to the Snapdragon 808. Something about one or more of the cores failing. No real fix though. edit: whoops, wrong gen. Jacobus Spades fucked around with this message at 18:09 on Feb 10, 2017 |

Oops, for some reason I was thinking v10 which also had an 808, don't know how I transposed the two in my brain. edit: I'd seen reports about the Moto X also getting boot loops, as well as a Lumia running Win 10 using the 808. Moot point though.

Considering my 4th gen is still on a 7 month old security patch....uhhhm. Don't expect frequent or timely updates from Motorola. Also, Nova launcher is awesome. I bought it the first day I tried it.
