So I'm getting my G4 today after work from Sprint. Driving about 2 cities just to cop it. But then I came to realize that there is no root yet. But the only reason I'm rushing to get this phone is because of the promo bundle. Otherwise I would have just stuck with my G3 until root was here and a working twrp. By the way, nobody speaking on a twrp without unlocking the bootloader.. If I unlock it, it voids warranty. But what If I were to unlock it and have insurance on Sprint? Would they know? Or should I just throw the phone when it bricks and just go to Sprint for a replacement lmao & is there any word on tethering? The g3 didn't tether without root. Had to use WIFI Tether Router apk. I'm wondering if I should stick to paying just 90 a month for my unrooted G4 with my unlimited everything plan or just miss the promo and stick with the G3.. Also, I see all of these "lag" and "overheating" problems from everybody with the T-Mo variant. I'm kind of second guessing those problems due to the fact that you guys were the same ones that had to do a few first day returns due to problems. Any chance that Sprint would have the same exact problems or is it just a universal thing with the phones? Because I know carriers alter the software a bit. Only reason I really use root is for lucky patcher and tethering. Or am I just asking noob questions? lol
I picked it up and as a power user, I feel clipped without root. It is a great device though. No complaints about lag or over heat. If root is a must for you, buy to get all the promos and switch back to g3 till root is established. Im gonna try to stick it out with no root. Its just that cool in the hand...

I've had the Incredible 1 & 2, Rezound, DNA, Galaxy Nexus, G2, G3 and now this phone. Its the best out of the bunch (except for the stock Nexus software and development). I dont have any of the problems other people have.

Yeah the problems they have seem a bit farfetched
Are you buying from a Sprint store? Are you just after the LG promo? It runs until June 30 i believe so you have time to wait on root. The best buy promo runs until July 4 if you are considering buying there, so plenty of time as well.
Personally the phone is good enough to have on hand and wait on root while enjoying the phone.

It says the 30th but says submissions online by the 14h and mail by the 21st. So I'm not even sure what the 30th has to.do with anything. Unless they're just retards and didn't change the pdf and the 30th means both mail and online by the 30th.

^ Title. Has anyone who preordered from the play store got their code yet?
Nope not yet.
1st: Why are we creating a thread that has already been created?
2nd: Has it been 4 weeks since your order shipped? No. Be patient. It will come. The damn thing isn't even available for purchase till the 10th. I expect to see the code sometime after that.

Nice, i wonder if they can use them now. I received a Google VR services update earlier today on the PLay store. I asked on the thread about Verizon people getting it early but no one confirmed.

VR is useless imo tried it on Samsung and it causes the phone to get so hot and there is not enough content to really enjoy it..

I had the same issue with Samsung VR. 75% of the time I went to put my phone in it, it would tell me phone was already too hot and only thing I was doing prior was surfing the web. I hate Samsung, total disappointment.
I've noticed my Pixel doesnt get near as hot at the S7E
I've been playing with the free gear VR I got with my first Note 7 on my wifes Galaxy S6. As long as you put it on DND and kill any background apps it runs pretty well, even on her older galaxy phone. I think it's pretty cool, and I'm super excited to check out the daydream VR.
Still waiting for my free VR code from the pre-order.
Codes will be coming next week

no, i just ask if there's some news with the battery with these update - does google will do something?
As far as i have read about it online, it mostly says various vulnerability fixes. Rest have to wait for the update to check ourselves that is it really battery friendly or not.
thank you,
and about the question in gmail?
How would we know if the update hasn't been released yet?
Is there a specific day of the month these updates drop....or is it usually just at some point early in the month? I've been looking for dates the last few days trying to figure out the schedule but it hasn't been as easy as I thought it'd be. I believe February's dropped on the 5th. That's the only one with a date I could find.
I think the monthly security updates are be released on the first Monday of a month.

It's always early in the month: March could be today or tomorrow.
I think its the first monday of the month, but not sure
Should and Could be....
Lol! and the update button still doesn't work!
First Monday of the month is typically when the updates hit, isn't it?
Also, it should be Feature Drop time. But no mention of it anywhere. Maybe just small update to come or there will be one next Monday?
Not until 1pm EST.
They confirmed it's delayed again
Delayed, plus the "feature drop" consists of some mediocre Snapchat stuff, an oversized battery widget and a couple stickers. The Pixel 6 turns into a disappointment. Non-existent feature drops, massive bugs, delayed updates... not a good track record.
Bipolar chat in the forums.. 13 Dev 2 comes out Thursday. I would think it will be out by the 15th or so latest.
Google really is starting to disappoint me with this phone. Bugs in connectivity, late updates you name it ... Expensive phone too.
Put me off Google I must admit I am starting to regret buying this phone.

I'm starting to regret it too, but we don't have many other options. Chinese phones that I refuse to buy, or Samsung phones that throttle apps. Right now they are all bad.
Hehe. It's funny.
U can see similar post in every phone topic.
Before use OnePlus 7pro and and was exactly same
When updating not on time.
There's no other phone worth considering. OnePlus is dead and Samsung has too much bloat and baggage.
I'm sticking with Pixels because at least I know my monthly updates will improve firmware, not just bump security patch level. And they will come every month. I don't worry too much about the delays, but it's a bad look.

I'm agreed with u.
But must be a reason for delay
Every day another reason to regret getting a 6 Pro. WTF was I thinking?
The update rolls out at different times per region doesn't it? That's something to take into account. There could be technical issues of some sort that's causing any sort of delay too.
Just have some patience yall it'll come soon enough

The pixel 6 Update is officially delayed by Google. They say later this month. Meaning it has nothing to do with a technical delay for a couple hours.

This is turning into a running joke.
Just one answer for "Where is the March update?" - in March
Sorry I had to
I would rather have a late update that's secure and stable than a bug fest with open back doors.
However looks pretty poor.

If 12L is delayed that means 13DP2 will not be available for p6 series as well.

Google pushes updates out in waves. It is possible that you have to wait for days, or even weeks to get an update prompt, even when manually clicking the button.
It's Tuesday night 6/7 at 10:45PM EST, and no June OTA update yet for me, either.

Could be a few days or maybe a week you could side load the update but I have no clue how to do that
