Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the lock not something they ever lift? My current 2 XL was paid retail but they never allowed me to unlock the bootloader. They do allow for any carrier SIM to be used in it.

I have to root my phones (not wanting to pay $30 for Verizon tether), is anyone aware if the Pixel 4 XL from Verizon will have the bootloader locked, and unable to be rooted? In addition to that, would we see a root for the unlocked version? Thanks

And that doesn't blow it deeper into the grill?

I'm looking for suggestions on how to best clean out dust and lint from my speaker grills. My last 2 XL had things that got under the grill and I don't want to repeat that.

I have a Verizon device, can't root still is my understanding?

Turns out I needed to add the no provisioning line to build.prop: https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/enable-free-wifi-tethering-android-marshmallow-0167832/ Now it's working :D

I'm on Verizon and don't pay for tether. Before I upgraded to Oreo I could tether, since it was rooted. I've re-rooted and the bootloader is still unlocked. But the native wifi tether no longer works. I've searched and can't seem to find out how to enable it again. Can anyone point me in the...

psone Same with me. But I'm unable to reach you, MotoJunkie01. Is your PM box full?

We have two Note 7 devices and they both experience problems when connected to WiFi on Google Play and tumblr. Samsung had us erase the device cache and factory reset, neither fixed the issue. They said to swap the devices, but since both are doing it, we highly suspect that it could be the...
