Agreed that Verizon says they don't lock devices, but they certainly optimize them for use on Verizon. So when you pop in a T-Mobile SIM and update the APN settings, the phone takes longer than it should to connect to the network. The "SIM card is not from Verizon" message makes it obvious that...

I know this is an old thread and these are old devices, but what Travo79 says above is exactly correct. The FCC says carriers must leave devices unlocked (or unlock them upon request), so they can be used on any network. I am switching my family to T-Mobile from Verizon and I have three devices...

I switched my Pixel XL on June 1, got a virtual card for $652 on the 15th, paid off my device, then switched back to Verizon on the 16th. I paid a $26 activation charge and $90 bill, so I netted $536. Truthfully I would have considered staying with them, but I played golf on Father's Day and had...

I believe the 60-day limitation applies to the amount of time you've had to own the pixel. They don't want people running out and buying a pixel then coming in to get it paid off by T-Mobile. I'm still trying to figure out how long I would have to keep the t-mobile service...assuming I don't...

Verizon Pixel XL, pre-ordered. No update yet, even after several update checks.

Wow, so nobody else has this issue. I am looking at my Pixel right now at 6:53 am, with the phone showing 11:53 am. Happening every day.

Wouldn't this affect any phone connected to that cell? I've never had a date/time issue before and my wife's phone (GS6) doesn't have this issue. Further, if I toggle network-provided time, it fixes the issue. If the cell were giving an inaccurate time, it would remain inaccurate. I'm not sure...

I have a Pixel XL on Verizon that is set to use network-provided date & time. Every day for the past several, at some point during the day the time changes to midnight, or thereabout. The fix is to open settings, date & time, and toggle the "use network provided time" setting, which immediately...

So happy to see that Verizon didn't strip the call blocking feature out of the Pixel XL! After getting a robocall I long pressed on the number and viola! there is the option to block and report as spam. Verizon had taken away this option from the LG G4, I assume in an effort to sell their...

I bought a Spigen Ultra Hybrid Google Pixel XL Case for my silver XL and it is great. The back is hard clear plastic, but the sides and corners are softer, impact absorbing tpu. Time will tell if it yellows, but for now it looks great and I can still see my Pixel!

I received my Verizon Pixel XL 128GB today! So far it is everything i hoped for!

Despite advice to the contrary, I pre-ordered a 128GB XL in silver yesterday from Verizon. The confirmation says delivery by 10/20. I haven't been this excited about a new phone in a while, so I am looking forward to getting this bad boy!

Re: the send button doesnt work on a text or on fb messenger? Same issue here on LG G4 running SwiftKey. I've gotten a ton of "screen overlay detected" errors and I suspect it is something to do with that. When I try to enable overlay for SwiftKey, the option is grayed out. Same for Google...

I'd love to win an S7! I'd probably give it to my daughter as a killer gift. She's in college and would love a hype phone. That's what she calls stuff she likes. Hype.

I picked up a G4 last month after having a G3 for a little over a year. I absolutely love the G4. If it had a fingerprint scanner it would be the perfect device. Everything about it is great. Size, screen, camera, form factor, speed, battery life, all excellent.
