Someone said AT&T will give you an upgrade any day of the month your upgrade is due, and it doesn't have to be January X, it can be a week or two or whatever before that. Does anyone else have any experience to support this?
I've done this a few times actually. U can check online to see what it says Ur upgrade date is. I've went to an At&t store before and got an upgrade like 20 days before the actual "date"
Worth trying anyway.

I have gotten upgrades months early! Just call and ask! Or stop by a store (the smaller the better) and ask there! Also you could try multiple calls / stores if you have the time to waste.
This may be a dumb question, but are any devs planning on porting Android 5.0?
I assume it will happen, because the nexus 4 will get it...which- spec wise-
isn't as good as the One.
Please bring in the good news!
:fingers-crossed:
best bet is when the M7 GPE gets their 5.0 update we will see a port. The M7 VZW with sense will get an OTA within 90 days of Google releasing the source of 5.0 ( HTC said this would happen)
Yesterday, Google said that all the GPE phones and Nexus phones will see the update in a "couple of weeks" and they will be releasing the SDK tomorrow the 17th.
So we all play the waiting game... for now.
Yep, don't need a 5.0 port as we will be getting an official release for it eventually...probably before the end of 2014 is my guess.

this would be amazing but i feel it wont show till end of January early February. i hope i am wrong though.
When KK launched, we got it roughly 4 months after HTC got the SDK. I expect the same wait time.

I'm still sort of on the fence about the Pixel XL. Right now it's between this phone and the V20. I would really like to see a few in-depth reviews before I pull the trigger on either. Does anyone know about how soon Google sends out the review units to the editors/reviewers?
I would say sometime next week since the Official release date is Oct. 20th

So when do you think they will get it? Or do you think review units have already been sent out?
Went to best buy today and 1of the Google employees had a pixel xl. He had just got it yesterday. He let me hold it and look at it. It was nice I must admit. He said they got them to show customers.
Looks like DXO Mark got theirs

Im pretty sure they will get reviews out around the 17th thats 3 days before orders ship
Review units usually go out well before release so reviews(which normally are embargoed can go up on release day

I am sure they already got the phone. Don't you see almost every review says "I have been using this phone for about a couple of weeks " blah blah.
Just got a chance to listen to Monday's This Week In Tech podcast and one of the guys is a reviewer and said they were told they'll get their Pixel review kits on the 18th.
the verge already did yesterday
I'm looking to get away from Sammy and move to htc... do you guys thing I should go ahead and get the HTC 10 or just wait for the 11. I'm wondering how long it takes to gain root on these devices once they come out. Root is a requirement for me now. So if I wait for the HTC 11, normally how long do they take to get root. Or should I just get the 10 since it has development already?
Thanks for any help

I don't think anyone knows enough about the 11 to know what kind of security measures htc will put on it. Your experience with Samsung should tell you that on some of their newer model variants root is still not easily achievable even after a year, and nothing is stopping htc from doing the same this year (though it would be surprising). If you're in no rush, wait a couple months to see what the 11 will be like. You'll still be able to find a 10 at that time. Else if you can't wait, you can get a 10 now, some good sales going on right now for this amazing device.

Honestly, at the moment the S8 definitely has my attention, every now and again Sammy blows the competition out the water.. The S2 the S3 and personally I loved the S5
They have to do extremely well with the S8 and I have to say that with the reported specs and the look of the device, it's an intriguing device indeed..
The htc 11 will be a beast, it'll have the bootloader unlockable as it always does, root will not take long, sunshine will be there.. Venom rom, leedroid, cm, but until I see what it looks like I couldn't comment..
At this moment in time the only device I'd recommend outside of the htc 10 is the pixel, bought it for my daughter and its a monster of a phone. The camera especially.
Overall I'd wait for the S8 to drop then by that point, hopefully the 11 should have more info.
I'd wait but not necessarily for the 11, or the ocean as it's currently known because it looks like they're breaking from numbers for model names. Samsung have got the S8 and Note 8 coming out, there's the OnePlus 4, whatever LG and Huawei have coming, wait. Definitely wait.

Sony are due a good phone to be honest. All theirs have been identical.
Never been a fan of LG or Huawei besides the 6P which was decent.
Pixel is a beast though, I'd definitely consider it if I was looking. But again the 11,S8 are probably worth waiting for.
What about an OnePlus 3T? Would be an option as well
Not sure what development is like but I like the nubia phones, their flagships are really good looking. Edge to edge screen. Not sure on specs but it looked good to me.
Hey folks,
This thread is to discuss the process of getting the Bose noise cancelling 700s headphones from the pre-order offer. As far as I am aware, this offer was available in the UK and some of the EU countries, but it may have been available farther afield.
Today at the time of writing is 14 days after I placed the pre-order for my 6P and a standard 6. I entered all my details for both devices through the pixel offer website and am now awaiting confirmation. I'll keep you updated with my progress and am interested to learn yours.

Pre-Ordered the Phone on the 19th (directly from Google Store), completed the details on the pixel offer website today, got confirmation almost immediately (2min max) that the application is approved.

Interesting, and fair play to you. I've had nothing yet since entering all details this morning (perhaps they didn't like the cut of my jib?)

Not sure what you mean. No one told me to wait another 14 days.
I've now received confirmation about the 6, but not the 6p

Hey,
I also sent my application yesterday (pre-ordered on the 19th). So far, I only got the confirmation e-mail saying they received my request.
They're supposed to get in touch within 4 working days to approve it. Let's wait and see!
i filled it out using my US address...let's see if it slips through
My validation was approved immediately in morning after submission. In addition, I sent other proof such as delivery note which came with phone and photo of IMEI on phone box in afternoon.
They replied that my submission was validated in evening agin.
Just doing extra as learnt from last year mess up on Bose promo.
What did you use as a proof of purchase? I do not think I have any papers left since I got rid of everything. I would happily go and dive in my bin, but it was taken this morning
I just done it and got text to say its been approved and 40 days I should have the headphones.
21:30 claim sent
22:45 text that the claim has been approved
shipment within the next 60 days
I know that these headphones come in 2 different colours. I wish google would let us chose which one we want.
EE UK Pixel 6 Pro order here.
Submitted my claim this morning and within minutes received a text advising claim was approved

My experience was the same. Confirmation was very fast.
Was also told that I can expect the headphones to arrive within 60 days.
Thanks folks. I've had confirmation for one but not the other. Just for laughs, Google's own pixel offers were put into my Gmail spam. I'm now waiting for a confirmation on the second hand set. We'll see how quickly it comes.
I submitted my application on Monday, haven't heard from them even though they say in their e-mail "they will get back to me within 4 working days". Meh :/
I've now received confirmation for 2/2 devices.
The second confirmation was for the first device claim.
My best advice for anyone waiting for confirmation is to check email spam (particularly for Gmail)
