Belay that, problem seems to be solved. Had Vz L2 support back on the phone, they said I have the correct APN settings. After trying changing password a bunch, the tech suggested setting the security type to None and seeing if that allowed data to flow, which it did. Setting it back to WPA2...

Interesting. Anyone know what the correct APN settings are for Vz?

Not awesome. Firstly, it refuses to pass internet through the hotspot function when on Verizon (but it worked when on Fi). Secondly, it occasionally loses accurate GPS and worse, cell signal. A regular reboot doesn't fix that, I have to reboot to safe mode first then reboot back to regular mode.

Hi, I switched from Project Fi to Verizon a few months ago, having bought my Pixel XL through Fi. (Sadly Fi just didn't have the coverage I need in Colorado.) On Fi, the phone would hotspot no problem. Now on Verizon it will activate the hotspot, I can connect to it from several laptops, but...

I did a few regular reboots prior to that and they didn't change anything. It worked fine after rebooing out of safe mode. Interestingly, the gps has been fine today but the phone was having a hard time getting cell signal. My wife was right next to me with good signal and we're both on Vz. So...

So I checked where you said and I have about 50 apps that have updated (set to auto) since my GPS started gkitching a week ago. Seems like an uphill task to disable those. However, there's no need! When I rebooted out of safe mode (normal reboot into regular mode) it worked fine. WTH?! Also...

That's it!! GPS works perfectly in safe mode. Ok, so obviously something got installed or tweaked that f'ed it up. Is there a function that tells me in chronological order what was installed or updated? Can I roll back to some particular date? Thanks Toby.

I'm out west, CO & WY, and not really been into a city with it. So it's definitely open spaces. Been into some towns with maybe 3-story buildings, and still does it there. Meaning, I'm not surrounded by 30-story tower buildings.

Hi, About a week ago my GPS stopped being anything close to accurate. When I open Maps it seems to locate me pretty well but as soon as I use it to navigate it's not able to get a good lock, and places me all over. Sometimes it's within maybe 100 feet, sometimes a mile or more off. I have...

Nope, no notifications were coming through.

Nice. Does the phone or charger make any noise, even faint, when docked? I've had a few Qi phones and loved the charging, but they'd make a faint high-pitched ringing kinda sound. This wasn't good when I would have the phone on the bedside table at night as it almost sounded like a mosquito...

Done. Awesome, thanks! Just to satisfy my curiosity, any reason why Android might have been driving the Maps to go pic-in-pic?

Hi, I've recently noticed that Navigation will randomly minimize to the home screen. It's odd in that some trips it never does it, and other trips is will do it constantly, often every minute or two. It's annoying for a couple of reasons -- primarily because I now have to tap twice on the...

I took a slightly more severe approach and also cleared all of Play app's stored data. That did the trick, thanks for the suggestion.

Nope, that didn't work unfortunately.
