Had anyone had luck repairing microphone issued on Their pixel or pixel XL?
I'm hearing the heat trick works.
But I am very skiddish about trying it.
Unlocked boot loader on Verizon.
Got replacement phone a few days ago works flawlessly.

Hi,
I have an issue with my Pixel XL all of a sudden it came up with no services.
I know the SIM is working I but it in another phone and it work without any issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I had the same issue with a Verizon XL and my wife's non-XL when the phone first rolled out last fall. I was able to resolve it go going to setting>more>Network settings reset>reset settings. Seemed to be where the phone was as it happened in a notoriously bad 4G area for Verizon. It happened again (on both phones) when they seamed to be overwhelmed by the changes to the unlimited plan. Same fix, and it has not happened in the months since then. Unfortunely, you'll have to reattach your Bluetooth devices and WiFi connections, but that is of course no big deal.
Hi all, I've seen some people say that they have warranty exchanged their Verizon pixel XL and when they received one back it was an unlocked pixel XL. Does anybody know if this is always the case, or only once in awhile. Would love to be able to unlock this phone
Chances are low you will get lucky.

I have had to get 3 different pixels replaced. The one I got last year I had unlocked bootloader, but then my audio died, so sent it back to verizon for replacement. It was locked and past depixel8's use. Ended up having to send it back and the next. The last one they sent me was new and in the box still but still too new for depixel8. So no, I wasn't able to get one to unlock after my initial one. Even tried depixel8 before inserting some on the recovery devices.
I unfortunately have landed myself a refurbished Pixel 2 XL, on Project-Fi. The device is definitely a Verizon variant. I'm on the latest patch, so the lock_critical command is a no-go for me.
Anyone had luck complaining to Verizon?
Any luck complaining to Google?
Some day, this device will stop receiving official Google support and at that time I'll be interested in a custom ROM. And then I'll be even more frustrated about that OEM locked bootloader!
There's seriously no way to unlock this thing?

nope.
Hasn't happened since launch...
Well the original Pixel got a bootloader unlock like a year later. So I would not loose hope but right now no.
Some people got lucky factory reseting and booting without a SIM.

Unfortunately Verizon will not budge on this subject, my advice to you, never buy a phone through Verizon. They will lock down their devices and will work damn hard to keep you from bypassing the locked bootloader, I made the mistake of buying my XL2 from Verizon but was one of the lucky people to complain about screen burn in to Google and ended up getting a Google version as a replacement. Pretty sure Verizon caught on though and it's not allowing that to happen anymore.

Well, I am a fool and didn't do some research before buying the 3a XL. I messed up. Entirely my fault. Hoping someone may have an answer that i've missed on how to unlock my bootloader. the entire reason i bought the phone was to root.
VZW pixels can't be bootloader unlocked. Return it and buy it from somewhere else

I mean, that's what they said about the first one too someone smarter than I figured it out haha
If mine didn't break 2 days ago i wouldn't have switched to 3aXL from vzw but hey i needed a phone ASAP for my trip.

It was patched by Google and it's never been unlocked again. Pixel 2 and 3 never got it unlocked
I bought a Google Pixel 2 XL by eBay that is from Verizon, but I still don't get it so I don't know which version of Android it is, what recommendations do you give me to have a successful bootloader unlocking?
As far as I know you can't unlock the bootloader on verizon pixels. If that's a deal breaker, send it back.
Still a good phone but you'll be stuck on stock.
