    Question about Verizon Pixel XL with unlocked bootloader.

    Other than Android Pay, what else is affected by the bootloader being locked?

    Google Pixel XL - Preorder /order/shipping thread

    I ordered the Pixel XL 128GB in Silver on November 10th via Verizon website. I was told at that time it would ship December 20th. Then, I received an update the Unit would ship January 20th! Then, I received a shipping notification on Dec 23rd. I got the phone on the 28th of December.

    Google Pixel XL - Preorder /order/shipping thread

    My question now is what can I do since I've seen the unit on better sale specials since I ordered early November. I'm going to call and see if they will adjust. I'm paying Verizon almost $40/month I believe. I've since seen lower deals. This will be interesting. I've seen BoGo offers as well as...

    Google Pixel XL - Preorder /order/shipping thread

    My silver arrived today. Verizon Pixel XL 128gb ordered back in early November. There is hope. I was kinda discouraged and upset when they said it would ship January 20th after originally being told December 20ish date. Now, I'm hoping this late shipped units have those bugs fixed and they...

    Google Pixel XL - Preorder /order/shipping thread

    I guess they were wrong by telling me my delivery date changed to January 20th. On December 23rd I received a text with order number and FedEx tracking. Order shipped on the 23rd and is scheduled to arrive on Wed Dec 28th Something must have changed!

    Share your HTC One (M8) first impressions and personal reviews!

    I have the stickers as well. However, I'm waiting 14 days before I pull them off. I purchased mine off-contract (didn't want to lose my unlimited data on Verizon) and I want to make sure this is the best place to park $600 for the next couple of years. I actually thought about spending an...

    HBO GO Available

    Works great! Just can't output to TV via HDMI. Somehow, they have blocked that. I use my tablet when I travel and I plug-up the HDMI cable to the hotel TV's to watch Netflix and other movies on the big screen. Still can't do that with HBO Go. I do like the tablet version though.

    Galaxy Tab STOLEN... How do I WIPE Remotely?

    I really do miss my Galaxy Tab 10.1 I'm just about ready to replace it. They question is should I stick with the GTAB 10.1 or should I move on to another tablet. The forums lead me to believe that Samsung has slipped behind some of the other manufacturers in the tablet game. I hear ASUS has...

    Galaxy Tab STOLEN... How do I WIPE Remotely?

    Yeah, I use SeekDroid on the Tab and my HTC Thunderbolt. However, I can't remember if I reinstalled it to the tab after I rooted recently. I did log into my account and sent commands to lock it and to wipe it however, it hasnt found the device yet. I'm not gonna worry about it. Most of my data...

    Galaxy Tab STOLEN... How do I WIPE Remotely?

    My GT 10.1 was stolen this week. It has a password on it. So, the thief really can't do much with it once they boot up. However, I still want to WIPE IT. How do I do this? I remember setting the option in Settings to allow remote wiping. But How do I remotely send the command? Unfortunately...

    Google VVM vs VZW VVM?

    Exactly! Why would they think that. Now, yes, its true that you can text from within Google Voice. but that is just icing on the cake if you ask me. I never use their sms. I use my normal SMS via Verizon and GoSMS. The think I like about Google Voice is that they give you a new number to USE...

    Gingeritis 3D v1.2 found in the wild

    Dont check System Settings. However, you will have no problem with Android Home. I'm not sure what System Data you are comparing these two options too. The radio should have no effect on the ROM as long as you are using a radio that is on par with the Rom (for example, you shouldn't use a Fryo...
