It seems a little mickey mouse like for a Google product but I searched google on play store and found several things like pixel launcher and wallpapers that by themselves didn't show up needing an update but doing that they did. After a minute or two my pixel weather started working. P.S. I...

I didn't need anything! Simply turned on and off airplane mode and before signal came back on hit hotspot and it worked checked with my tablet and had it hooked up and checked it's working fine.

I saw a tweet from Verizon all sold out of 128 gb models and a limited amount of 32gb so they recommend getting to your Verizon store early Sent from my SM-T550 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2

My Verizon Pixel XL isn't arriving until tomorrow. It's not as important as it used to be but I would like to know if the bootloader comes unlocked. Sent from my SM-T550 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2

No real reason. The phone cases are what they are. Nothing groundbreaking in the case category, no reason to spend big bucks. I got an inexpensive clear Tauri. I actually like how they look and don't want to scratch it up. Sent from my SM-T550 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2

I know and understand your frustrations with Android. I've been an avid android fan since the OG Droid came out. What a phone and I loved it. Pure simple and open Motorola did a great job with that phone. Fragmentation ruined that phone and most every android phone since. The thing I hated apple...

I just got notification from Verizon that my Pixel Xl shipped via ups. Strange Usually they ship FedEx. No updates available yet so it means I'll get it on the 20th not they are shipping on the 20th. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2

Locked bootloader used to mean so much to me! I used to root the phone as soon as I turned it on. Bloatware was loaded or should I say overloaded on the phones. The crap running in the background that both manufacturers and the likes of Verizon and AT&T etc.. Bogged down the phones. I started...

I don't have big hands either and know what you are talking about! This 6 is too big and the 6p was better! I've handled the pixel xl and can tell you it's even better than the 6p. It's not just the screen is a little smaller but it's Engineered better. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Xparent...

I followed the instructions and my Nova launcher looks and feels like a pixel. With one exception and that is the calendar/Weather widget thing on top. I can only get the calendar working. Does anyone have a work around to get the calendar/weather both working? Sent from my Nexus 6 using Xparent...

Finally! Just a few days away. I haven't been this excited about getting a new phone in a long time. I'm guessing selling my 6p and going back to my Nexus 6 might have something to do with it. Don't get me wrong my old 6 is still doing what I wanted it for when I decided to keep it instead of...

If anyone would consider keeping the phone and refusing to turn it in, well in all honesty probably didn't themselves buy the phone! The note 7 is one of the most expensive phones on the market and Samsung will no longer support the device, I for one don't understand why someone would not turn...

I've tried the new pixel launcher and I like it. I'm sure once my new pixel xl arrives the launcher will even get better. I've since gotten rid of the pixel launcher and have setup my Nova launcher to imitate the pixel close enough and still keep the ability to modify it. This is my point. Why...

Don't get me wrong here I loved my 6p and was by far the best Android phone I had revert used. I have photos that I took that I would have been proud of even if I took it with a 35mm SLR. I sold it when the pixel xl first came out but not because i was dissatisfied in any way but solely because...

It's kind of an insurance policy into the future. With virtual reality and other things either coming on board now or in the near future I for one am not sure what my needs are going to be in the future and when I say future that could be in the next 6 months. I don't know what 7.1 is going to...
