Google Pixel 2/XL 2 Indian Discussion Thread.

[Prattham]

Have you guys ever experienced that you left your phone on charge and it charged only 10% or so in an hour and then you had to unplug it and plug it again for charging to work normally?

This might be because of the cold weather and battery temp too low
Mine doesn't charge normally until it's over 22°C-25°C
So i just let it record a 1080 60fps video for a while and then charge it ?
I have been doing this since 2 years lol during winters

Ah thanks i had no idea about it! Yes it is cold here below 10 degrees so that must be the reason. I was thinking that there is some hardware issues because it is so weird. Thanks man I'll keep that in mind. This is some good information.

I have the same issue and I play a game or use camera to heat up the phone. This is funny.
I reported this in 2018 on issue tracker along with bug reports and all the details but they never fixed it. Here's the link: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/121223591

Guys, my pixel 2 XL suddenly switched off probably due to low battery and when I charged it, it is now stuck in bootloop on G screen. Mine phone is completely stock. Any suggestions.

If you can get into recovery sideload the full ota of the Android update you're on.

My phone is still under warranty, will sideloading void it of warranty?

Guys..I am currently using pixel 2xl since Jan 2017 and now the power button has gone kaput. Takes multiple presses Just to turn off the screen, rest everything is ok and it sometimes drives me crazy. I had B2X person visit and check the same. He told me the entire back panel and buttons would need to be replaced and gonna cost approx 7k which seemed nuts considering its a scratch less phone and just to replace power button i would have to shell out 7k. Is there anyplace in Delhi where i can get it repaired? If not. Then which phone should i replace it with?...i was thinking about Realme X2 Pro and after installing gcam on it I can get similar pic quality?...still wary about it. Just don't wanna spend anything north of 40k on a phone as of now. Would greatly appreciate your inputs on it. TIA

Hi Guys,
Anyone rooted pixel 2 xl running on android 10 successfully ? I found so many articles on web but comments seems confusing. Most of them got failed. Please help.

Guys, my front glass cracked,touch and display working fine. Official support says they will replace entire panel which will cost ~17k.
Where can i get the display replacement part cheap in US?(Friend is traveling to india in 2 weeks)
Or Is it possible to change only glass part?. I live in Hyderabad.

Device is pixel 2xl black

My pixel 2 switched off because of low battery and now is stuck on G logo loading screen. Tried sideloading the ota update and still no go. Cant pull files. Any idea on what I can do? Don't really want to factory reset.

Well same thing happened to me as well few months back, I think the best option is a factory reset and these days with in app backup you do not tend to loose much with a reset.

There are lot of android 10 ROMS for walleye. LOS, AICP, AOSIP, POSP etc. You can join the Telegram channel in lineage thread of eamon.. you will have a host of roms.
I personally have taimen but I do run the LOS in my wife’s pixel 2 and is running just great.
