Just tried...no luck... And now my network again shows I'm connected to VzW instead of Verizon Wireless. I don't understand that as well.

I have a Google bought Pixel on NDE63V and have the option. I am on Verizon, btw.

For those of you that have it, were you coming from a phone on Verizon that previously had it enabled? Mine does not show that option either just like the OP.....

Are you on the stock kernel or a custom kernel? Did you come from a phone that previously had it enabled?

And you have the Google Store Pixel XL but using on Verizon correct? I am chatting with Verizon now and they are telling me because I have a Non Verizon Pixel XL, thats why Video calling isnt coming up.

Bought it on the Google Store, Pixel XL. I am using on Verizon. That is BS what they are telling you. Get someone who knows what they are doing. I wouldnt chat with them, i would call them direct. Mine showed up as soon as they removed the supposed block. I bet the block had something to do with using a non-verizon device like the Nexus 6P previously....

Yeah I am dealing with a complete idiot.... I was just able to fix the issue and there was a block on the video calling for some damn reason. I just removed the block myself and now the option is there. He still wont answer my why he didnt check for this first when i told him right up front that others got this fixed since a block was on their account.... he was so quick to tell me its not supported because its a non verizon pixel phone... i told him i know more than him and that both phones run the same exactly software versions.

Glad you got it to work. I have not tested it. i just familiarized myself with the blocked services section on verizon wireless page. Would have been so much easier to just have done it through there. I despise calling VZW.

How about if you want tethering, you pay for it and do it legally. Sprint will be seriously cracking down on unauthorized tethering with the new Network Vision network controls.
I read something in the evo lte forum where they insterted a line into the build prop to use the hotspot.

I'd be more than happy to. If there wasn't that absolutely ridiculous 5GB limit. That's unacceptable for me. Give me more options and I'll gladly pay for it.
Hell, I pay Verizon $100 for 22GB and still coming short sometimes.
It didn't work for me, I am using your stock rom Scott.

I don't use my data that much, maybe about 2GB a month, but I still hate the fact that every company want to charge for tier pricing. But the idea of the company able to charge for the service it doesn't do anything is insane. Sure if you want to let the company do so then go ahead, but then if you can do it yourself, then it become self service and you shouldn't have to pay. This is like they should be able to charge extra a month if you let you friend borrow your phone to make a call or to use 3rd party headset. Majority of people don't actually share the bandwidth with other people but rather to use the data of themself on another device.

You must be one with the lucky phone. T just tried it again without encryption and multiple different settings including default and still no workie.

So a buddy recommended this app because it worked before: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.seifsoft.togglepanel
And SURE ENOUGH it activates the built in hot spot! This means its bypassing the entitlement check!
I paid $1.00 and activated used the toggle app to activate hot spot and it connected and I could surf....

not working for me either. so, possibly some change you made may still be there and could be the key to unlocking tethering.

Its been a while since I have been on Sprint. A long while... But I think a change to android.policy.jar resolved the issue last time.

If I remember correctly it, at least in previous flavors, has been in services.jar. But a lot of smali needs to take place in order for it to work, again the last time I messed with it though was back in the GB days.

SVLTE? Does the note 4 have it?

I'm running into a lot of road blocks trying to find the latest phones that had the svlte. I know the galaxy s5 from verizon has it. But want to know if the note 4 for verizon has it? Also if you know of any other phones that have it. I have asked this question in other places but no one seems to know since I NEVER get a reply.
And if you are unsure what this is you can still test it for me if you want and have the note 4.
1. turn off your wifi.
2. call someone.
3. open chrome or other internet app and see if you can go to webpages like google etc to search for things.
4. if it tells you that you cannot use data while in call then it does not have svlte. If it lets you use data while on a call then GREAT!
Yep, I can make calls and surf at the same time

Locked Verizon Bootloader?

So i plan on ordering a Pixel XL paying the retail price from Bestbuy since they have them in stock http://www.bestbuy.com/site/google-pixel-xl-4g-lte-with-32gb-memory-cell-phone-slate-verizon/5656050.p?skuId=5656050 but i noticed it says Verizon. So my question is will the bootloader be unlocked or not?
Pretty sure it'll be locked then, it's best to just get it from the google store.

Please remember to try and search for answers before posting.
This subject is covered several times on the board.
Yes, the bootloader will be locked if purchased from Best Buy or Verizon.
its been confirmed from multiple places that Verizons model will have a locked bootloader. so if you care about custom roms or resale value get the model from the google store. There is always a possibility that someone will figure out an unlock for the Verizon model but i wouldnt count on it
It seems it's all speculation. Haven't seen/heard anything fact that it is indeed locked. But knowing how Verizon operates it will be.

Yeah it all point to it being locked but wont really know until its released and Verizon orders ship
The Verizon N6 wasn't locked down. I have hopes but if its locked it doesn't matter to me.

If it's unable to be unlocked it would be the first time Verizon released a Nexus that way.

As stated multiple times the Verizon nexus 6 was still able to be unlocked, it was identical to the Google store one, just with a Verizon emblem on it.
If it's like the nexus 6 with unlockable bootloader I'll be getting the 128 xl from Verizon and be returning the 32 xl to the Google store. I kinda regret not getting the larger storage. Hopefully we will see the unlockable status for a fact on Thursday.

The reviews are out. Did not one single reviewer with a Verizon unit not check to see if it can be unlocked?

Pixel XL Update

I grab my phone this morning and there is an update. Anybody know what this update is? On Verizon by the way.
Some wifi fixes
You'll find your answer here:

I turned off auto updates for a while while we wait to see if anyone gets hope of unlocking. Might not be able to unlock if updated.

Does scam ID work for anyone?

So I have scam ID enabled on my account, #664#
But so far not a single scam call got flagged.
When I had my pixel "scam likely"would show up without me looking to do anything
T-Mobiles excuse / solution was for me to add the numbers to their list.
Has anybody seen it work?
