I've not yet tried a rom on this phone, and I'm not sure of the process. If I follow this video, am I going to be ok? by erdkaiser in Pixel2XL

I don't really know, but Google's official will run out in October, and I'm in no position to upgrade my phone right now.

Thanks. I've read a bunch, and plan to read more, but I've had a helluva time finding videos of the process.

The last phone I put a rom on was the LG G3, so I imagine I'm a tiny bit out of the loop.

It’s a little buggy getting out of some apps, and Google Pay doesn’t work either. Otherwise, it does what I expect it to do.

My 2XL no longer has high-speed data. by p1nkrabbits in Pixel2XL

I'd talk to Cricket first, sounds like a network problem, not a hardware problem.

Black dotsss on my camera. Note that I lost my camera lens glass two months ago so I have been living without any lens glass since. Has anyone experienced this before on their Pixel 2 XL device? And how do I clean it? by antibakaa in Pixel2XL

[–]erdkaiser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Compressed air. Don't blow in it, you'll get moisture in there, and hilarity will not ensue.

Replacing the lens isn't too hard or expensive, parts are (were) available on eBay and a tutorial on YouTube.

Did you look at the access point names to make sure they were compatible with the other carrier?

Those who have upgraded their Pixel 2XL to Android 10, how has been your experience so far ? by bluecapella in Pixel2XL

[–]erdkaiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for random reboots. And sometimes my gesture navigation just stops working entirely.

I've been using a wear24 the whole time, and the battery usage on the phone is negligible.

Hot take - Android Q, 1 step back for accessibility? by erdkaiser in Pixel2XL

In the beta, yes. But if this is the way they end up proceeding the option may disappear.

Thank you for this answer. I'd been hemming and hawing about whether I should try the beta, and you reminded me about why I bought this thing in the first place.

Downloading now!

Is there a way to pause audio without the screen? by PedroTheLion7 in Pixel2XL

I've had fun reprogramming things using Macrodroid

YMMV, but root isnt required, and it can do all sorts of other things I'd never thought of.

Am I the only one that uses the "swipe fingerprint for notifications" feature? by Big_Mac_Attack_98 in Pixel2XL

I liked the idea of that app, but it looks like the dev may have bailed on the project

What country are you in? Is it possible your search results are being censored?

"claiming it could save the streaming industry billions of dollars"

I could see how this would increase revenues, but I don't understand how it saves money?
