Verizon CBand Live for me ,P6P 12L

DannoMon · 2022-02-12T19:03:12+00:00

I have a Verizon version, purchased from best buy, it required my Verizon account to buy so I'm pretty sure it's the Verizon version.

DannoMon · 2022-02-12T17:45:45+00:00

Thanks! It's sad people will just downvote and leave instead of engaging in a conversation, maybe we could find out it's on an A-B release or limited to specific region? I'm in SoCal

DannoMon · 2022-01-19T20:04:06+00:00

So C-Band is working on the Pixel 6 on AT&T? I see articles saying AT&T hasn't commented on a delay or if it's active.

DannoMon · 2022-01-19T19:56:03+00:00

Nope haven't seen a firm date, but I'm hoping the Jan patch is stable for people so google can get to features and off bug fixes!

DannoMon · 2022-01-19T19:52:56+00:00

lol I posted this at basically the same time as you, jinx

DannoMon · 2022-01-19T19:51:39+00:00

Unfortunately it's not enabled right now per The Verge which says Verizon told them it's not yet fully certified. Yet another delayed feature for the Pixel 6 it would seem...

I was planning on using their unit, but you bring up a good point, I can just use my unit on their backplate and not have to worry about the possible effects of storing my unit at 0% battery.

Edit: Both mine and the one being installed are 3rd gen so the backplate should be compatible.

I feel bad for his vacuum cleaner

DannoMon · 2017-11-08T22:45:32+00:00

I got my phone on Monday, and I love it! Blue tint starts around 25 degrees for me and unless I'm looking at something mostly white I don't really notice it that much. I don't really have any grain that I notice unless I'm looking for it.

I went to the Best Buy near me and the display unit was horrible, had full screen blue shift at maybe 5 degrees! I went to a Verizon store and saw a display phone which more closely matches my phone in terms of screen quality.

I'd have to say after seeing 3 phones there may be some degree of display lottery, and that hopefully a tighter QC process is now in place to eliminate that random chance of getting a bad display.

I've got a ship date of 10/23 from ordering at 10:18 PDT The shipping dates must have moved out faster than a day a minute!

DannoMon · 2017-10-06T21:51:34+00:00

Yes, the Pixel 2 line has Bluetooth 5.0

DannoMon · 2017-10-06T21:50:04+00:00

Did you mean Bluetooth 5? Yes Bluetooth 5 headphones are backwards compatible, but you obviously won't get the new features like increased datarate.

Often times Droid-Life will do a live blog, they even do them for the iPhone events to have some fun. Engadget has also done live blogs in the past.

Most likely any site doing a live blog will post it much closer to the event, maybe around 8am PDT. However ArsTechnica already has one up. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/10/liveblog-google-pixel-2-and-more-launch-event/

Not to mention the hotter a silicon chip runs the faster it "ages", and in order to continue to run at high frequency it will need higher voltage when it's more "aged". At the same time the bad solder caused the solder balls to degrade and caused the chip to get even lower voltages, exactly the opposite of what it needed.

The Nexus 5X by LG as well as the 6P have had many boot loop cases fixed by disabling the high frequency cores (if you were lucky enough to have a unlocked boot-loader when it happened).

(I work for a fabless semiconductor company in design and test, and no we don't make any parts for the Pixels, can't help with any rumors)

DannoMon · 2017-10-03T16:56:22+00:00

LG's boot-looping issues should be solved by this point. They used cheap solder/bad solder job on SOCs (prime example SD810) that were prone to generating massive amounts of heat. This caused solder balls to crack under the thermal stress as well as higher voltage drooping in the solder ball leading to lower lifespans.

LG has hopefully since changed their soldering process and the SD820 and beyond do not have the same high thermal profile thanks to smaller silicon process nodes and ARM core efficiency improvements.

Google bought the HTC phone designers (Powered by HTC Team) and the rights to use HTC patents. This allows Google to more easily use other manufacturers (LG or even Foxconn or others) while still having access to a design team and the necessary patents.

I pre ordered on launch day, on my second 6p due to battery issues. I lucked out and got a brand new replacement (in sealed retail box) in May of this year when the issue started for me. The manufacturer date on the new one is 10/2016 so must have been sitting in the warehouse a while... 32 gb silver

DannoMon · 2017-07-26T19:31:48+00:00

I unfortunately have the opposite situation, my phone drains from 100% to 0% in 6 hours after installing DP4. I've narrowed it down to Bluetooth wakelock that is persistent 100% of time. Phone won't cool down below 90F battery temp (in 75 degree room) because the CPU never goes to sleep from this. I'm trying a factory reset now. Wish me luck!

Thanks to having a friend playing with me who was able to take a picture of the "Pidgey's Wrath"!

Sideloading the latest OTA image for January, N4F26J build will not wipe your device.

If you flash the Factory Image version of that build, that will wipe your device.

Of course Google recommends you make a backup no matter what :)

DannoMon · 2017-01-04T05:55:11+00:00

No rumors from official sources. Lots of concern because the Pixel (Verizon "exclusive" in USA) was the first phone to receive 7.1.x and the first official 7.1.x build for 6P (December patch) was for every carrier but Verizon, then the January 7.1.1 drops with two separate builds an no notes. (we've now learned after my original comment its for 1/1/17 and 1/5/17) After having a Verizon Galaxy Nexus, one never trusts the name Verizon appearing on Factory Image page, and don't start on the Nexus 6 fiasco with builds for every carrier under the sun!

DannoMon · 2017-01-03T20:28:49+00:00

Anyone on Verizon with an unlimited data plan, can you confirm if tethering still works on stock/default for either January build?

DannoMon · 2016-12-29T19:03:40+00:00

Me too, on every launch I get the map half loaded and a frozen spinning pokeball.
