Unblock phone

Hi guys, I one month ago I bought my google pixel XL from a cash converters seller on ebay UK used, I've been using it and today its been blocked. Obviously the previous owner has ran an insurance fraud scam saying that their phone has been stolen, getting a new phone and the money for selling the phone and thus leaving me with an unsable phone.
I just want to ask, does anyone know of the IMEI repair services? Can I fix the IMEI on my phone, get it removed from the blacklist. Is there any recourse for having my phone back working again?
Thanks in advance.
Please help, I just lost out on £450.

If you bought a stolen phone you can't do anything except contacting the seller and get your money back. If he don't want to do it, go to the police.

@usynn,
Contact eBay. They have a buyer protection plan that should refund at least part of your money.

refund received

after using the pixel XL. i hated it. now i sort of like it however i don't LOVE it. However i do know any non google branded phone will become slow, start to lag and stutter after about 6-9 months of use so I'm waiting for the pixel 2 to come out. but i heard that wont have many design changes? So the big big under the screen like the Pixel XL is here to stay?

I never had a problem with any non Google phone that I've ever owned start to lag or stutter after 6-9 months of use but it probably depends on how you use it. If you run a custom Rom and clean flash instead of dirty it gives your phone a fresh start with every update. If you run stock you should use a good utility once in a while like SD Maid to clean out the junk files and cache that accumulates over time. If you still notice a problem just factory reset the phone. There's nothing magical about Google phones that makes them run better over time. If anything with their recent phones exactly the opposite is true--the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P didn't even work for much more than a year for many users before going into permanent bootloops. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Pixel XL ends up doing the same. At least Samsung phones (with the exception of the one that blew up) actually last until you get sick of them and are ready to upgrade. Google forces you to upgrade by selling phones that self destruct.

Thats a pretty big exception there. You can't ignore phones blowing up and a total worldwide recall just to make your point.

Chances of Pixel 2 XL selling out?

I don't see any benefit with pre-ordering it as I will be waiting weeks till I actually get my purchase and I can pass on the google home mini so I rather just buy it when it actually releases but I don't want to be in the same situation as others had when the Pixel XL released. So if anyone can help me decide if I should preorder or if I should be good when the Pixel 2 XL actually releases. Im hoping Google learns from their mistakes and makes enough Pixel 2 XLs for everyone:fingers-crossed: also I plan on getting 128gb btw if that helps. Thanks!

If it's been like every other year, you can guarantee it. You can set your watch to it. Ordering problems, whatever you can think of.
It's going to be a cluster ****. So, if you want one, take tomorrow off work and be prepared to get a new F5 key or keyboard.

I m optimistic that this year will be better than last. After at least a couple years now where Google has had a hard time keeping stock, they've hopefully learned their lesson. They dumped a bunch of money into LG's screen division this year, hopefully to help up production. Also, the pixel 2 will have a more typical development window (maybe) than the pixel which went from concept to production in an un characteristically short amount of time. Finally, while LG is no Samsung, I think they are bigger than HTC with greater production capabilities. Hopefully these things add up to a better stock of phones at release. Of course, there are no guarantees.

I've pre-ordered every year and have always had a negative inventory experience! Guess we'll find out soon if this launch is different...

Placed my order for Pixel XL 2 during the show.
Shipment 1 Delivery October 19–October 20
Pixel 2 XL (64 GB, Just Black)
$849.00
Quantity: 1

Its already unavailable!

I ordered mine during the event as well, 2 XL 128GB just black. I was going to go with the 64gb version but looked at my phone and saw I would only have about 20gb left if mine was 64gb (I have a 128gb currently). That is one years worth of use on my Pixel XL and I haven't removed anything from my device. I think I would rather have less than 50% used than more than, so wasted the extra $100.

Pixel 2 128XL Black pre-ordered 11:15pst, Ships around Oct 17...

I'm holding off on buying 2 XL until enough user feedback shows Google solved the LTE cellular data thing.

100% chance. They probably have like 5 in stock right now.

A bit off topic.
Did you guys saw that there were 3 phones on the Google family photos.
And in the live demo the appointment Pixel Ultra.
Maybe the leak last week was true or Google saw it and is making a huge joke.

I dont think that 3rd phone was the ultra. It had a case on it so I think they were just showing off the case.

Preordered 2 XL's 128GB's in the Panda color, says Nov 8-9th for date

google screwed up this phone with those bezels so they won't be running out of stock since people are leaning towards the s8+ note 8..

I experienced the same $#!+ show I expected after being a part of the Nexus 5, 6P, and Pixel launch. I tried for hours to get a black and white 2 XL to go through the checkout process. As always, you can thank the garbage people of eBay.

Anyone who thinks S8 is better than Pixel XL is ignorant.

I casually ordered a black XL a while after it went live, had 0 issues and it is suppose to be delivered between Oct 24th and 27th.
Really looking forward to finally having something worth upgrading from my Nexus 6.

Buying Pixel 2 Xl on Swappa

Hi all, I have a Mate 10 which is the absolute best phone I've ever owned, but it's inability to function correctly with Android Auto is making me consider buying a Pixel (my wife's pairs just fine with AA). I see some people sell them on swappa brand new sealed box for $700 but without the warranty from Google. How bad is the screen issue and is it definitely quite possible I could be purchasing a dud? I'd rather spend the extra $$ and go through Google itself if so. Thanks!

My friend, you can find over 1000+ opinions from users on these threads. Believe what you want from them. Best thing you could do is go to a store, and check it out yourself. Personally, I haven't had any complaints or issues with my P2XL. I don't use AA, so I can't comment on that. All I know is that mine is fine as far as the screen is concerned

Bought mine of of Swappa. Swapped out my S8+ for it. Best decision I've made as far as phones go.

Sold my S8+, Google was offering $200 credit on 128GB 2 XL. Snagged that deal, now running DU with Dolby and Viper no issues, couldn't be happier. Haven't noticed any screen issues either but YMMV. I'd rather have the warranty.

Warranty is done by IMEI and honored straight away unless phone has been blacklisted by phone carriers or Google.
Google repair doesn't ask for a receipt unless there's a blacklist issue.
Swappa does a check for bad phones before it can be listed.
So if you buy on Swappa from seller with more than 10 sales and solid 5 star feedback, that consumer experience plus PayPal and Swappa backing
and you aren't likely to have any issues. Have bought and sold there, and they for sure take care of problems.

I bought mine on Swappa and sold my international S8+, couldnt be happier. The seller sold me a week old phone, and gave me a copy of his receipt from Google. Just to be safe, I contacted Google and provided them the receipt. They said that the warranty is definitely good, and I would have not issues if I needed to file a claim. I have played with a couple Pixel 2 XL's and I honestly think the screen thing is blown out of proportion. I compared mine side by side with my S8, and my wife's Pixel XL, and you wouldn't know the difference. The both Pixels had a more cool color all together over the S8, but I honestly liked it more. I thought whites look better on the Pixel 2 XL.

I got mine on swappa as well.
While it is an excellent phone, the speakers aren't as good as I thought they'd be coming from a 6P.
More distortion/buzzing where the 6P had none.
And the lock screen is annoyingly aggravating. Trying to swipe a notification away takes 4-5 tries, even on the April security update and with substratum and magisk modules that supposedly fix the issue.
Hell, even trying to pull down the quick settings panel to toggle the flashlight takes multiple tries.
There is blue shifting at super high viewing angles, but unless you're looking at a completely white image, it's really not noticeable.
The lock screen swiping is far more annoying than the blue shift.

Made the switch from the Nexus 6P over. Purchased my XL 2 from swappa also. In my personal opinion I feel the screen issue was very overblown. Phone and process concerning swappa exceeded my expectations.

I'm looking to buy a pixel 2 XL on Swappa also.
I just can't believe how many there are being called brand new never opened but they never have a receipt. Where are all these coming from ?
So I shouldn't be concerned if it's an experienced seller with good ratings ?
Thanks for any input

An experienced seller with high rating would be your best bet...

I've been watching Swappa really close for the past 2 weeks as I'd like to pick up another couple 2XL's in Panda for my wife and daughter so we can switch to Project Fi.
I thought the exact same thing. I also think its hilarious how many of them are listed "Brand New, Sealed Box" and the 2nd and 3rd pictures are of the phone out of the "sealed box".

I grabbed one on Swappa a few weeks ago from a guy in Florida. Was a little nervous but it delivered asap, looks to be from Canada as best I can tell from the box. Have had 0 issues, unlocked it as soon as it landed, and works great.

Sold my 128GB Pixel XL, got Oneplus 6 - bluetooth problems fixed. Advice, get rid now

So, I can now use my beautiful Huawei Watch again. Oneplus 6 doesn't have the BT bug, which I also knew Samsung fixed a while back.
Google needs to really fire their BT programmers.
Bug riddled software, be gone!

This is the watch, check it out:

Yep Pixel's are just Beta test for OEM's lol

Been using an OG Pixel XL since like a month after they launched and never had a single issue with Bluetooth. My Pebble used to disconnect from my Nexus 6 constantly, never on my Pixel XL and my Ticwatch E works flawlessly too.
Also, what does Samsung have to do with OnePlus..?

I have been happy with every flagship phone I owned since 2009. I also had a Note 7, which was an exceptional phone, aside from the sabotage that ended its life. Pixel XL has been the only crap flagship I owned, which I got to replace the Note 7. OP6 is a breath of fresh air compared to that Google garbage of bug nightmare.
But that's just my take on it, and why would I brag about bugs in the OP6 forum? Bugs belong where they originate, the bug swamp. Welcome to the party, and good-bye.

Good Lord you whine like a baby giraffe. I mean they probably whine. I have no first have knowledge. Let's assume. Anyway man, you're not adding anything to the forums here you're just complaining.

Getting a Pixel XL October 2019

I found a deal on a Pixel XL for $110 and am thinking about buying it. I'm wondering if it's still worth it or should I wait and save up for another phone?
I'm currently using a LG Stylo 4 on boost Mobile and I hate the phone and the service. I only got it because I needed a new phone in a pinch.
I used to have the redmi note 4 on metro pcs and I loved the phone and the service. I've been looking at the Mi 9T but it will take me awhile to get the $300-$400 to buy it and I'm really sick of my LG and boost.
Just trying to get some opinions.

get it won't be disappointed

@NewbRooter89
I'm about to get a used pixel as well. Either a Pixel XL or a Pixel 2 XL. I've seen the Pixel 2XL in good condition on swappa for $150-165 every now and then... Currently over on swappa all the 2XLs they have currently listed are $200+ but the last one that sold was $157. I may end up getting a XL instead. The XL is the way to go on the og Pixel and the pixel 2. I owned every Nexus ever made and haven't owned a Pixel device yet but definitely look forward to it. Good luck on getting a great deal. They're out there just gotta look around. I've seen people drop a price -$100 on swappa more than once just because someone makes an offer in the comments. That's what I'm doing. Making offers and waiting for "the one." Haha.

Are you sure you don't have a virus? I'd factory reset it and format data and wipe internal storage if I were you and restore my backup afterwards or maybe ever start from scratch. Phones being hot can mean a few things. It could be some sort of virus, it could be a not so good signal or if you used an aftermarket charger it could mess up the battery because they aren't rated same as the ones that come with our devices. I'd wipe it clean and start over and see if it still gets hot and battery dies quickly. If so I'd get another oem battery off eBay and see if that solves it. Battery dying quick and heat point to virus....
Then again if others are having same issues then may be a 10 thing and will get worked out soon I'm sure.

You get a thumbs up.

I've had mine for about two weeks and I absolutely love it. If you want root, make ABSOLUTE sure you get a Google version and not a Verizon version. I made that mistake and had to get another one for $150. The trick posted here no longer works, so don't think you can get away with cheaping out on a Verizon.

That's what I thought... I waiting for my battery kit I ordered from ifixit.. hope this can fix my problem. ?

Well I ended up getting a NEW Pixel XL for $135. Every time I wrote in response to an ad on Pixel 2 & 2XL to confirm they were not refurbished units or not Verizon units I either never received a reply or whoever it was wasn't 100% sure they didn't fall into the encrypted bootloader category which refurbished 2 & 2XLs have the encrypted bootloader as well or the write up said nothing about being a Verizon unlocked device and it was which gave me anxiety about ordering at all and all the 2 & 2XLs on Swappa had scratches on the screen or looked like someone tossed em down the hallway or something so I guess it just wasn't meant to be, not for now anyway... But I'm happy with my XL! I'll use my it and save up for a new Pixel on down the road in some months. Sure is great to be back onboard! I had every Nexus there ever was starting with the G1 but I stopped with the 6p and the 5x. Can't believe I've been using non Nexus/Pixel devices since 2016!! I hated every one of em too. ??? I think maybe every year when the new Pixels come out im going to purchase last year's XL model and every year sell em and throw a lil money in with whatever I get for my phone and get another year old model...

My Pixel XL should be here Monday. It's an Amazon renewed phone so hopefully it's not on ****ty condition or I will be sending it back. I'm excited to have a phone I can root again and I'm excited to get back on metro pcs again.
I'm also pretty excited to have an AMOLED screen, 4gb of ram, and a good camera. None of the phones I've had in the past could take good pictures. My wife uses an iPhone 7 and it takes pretty damn good pictures. It was the only thing her phone(s) ever had on mine, lol.
Boost has been terrible. I'm an Uber driver so having a good connection and fast phone is essential. This LG Stylo 4 has potential but with a locked bootloader and so full of bloatware, is just been hard to use. Especially on boost's network.
Thanks for the input everyone. Love this site and what everyone contributes!

You're going to LOVE it!!!!!! I was away from Nexus since they started making Pixel's and now that I'm back onboard I feel dumb for staying out of the loop for so long. I honesty did not know just how much a phone from 2016 was going to impress me and getting my XL I was blown away! This is what I refer to as the real Android experience. I just installed Lineage 17 last night and although it has no features yet from Lineage 16 and is pretty much a base I'm good man and its great! Pixel will be all I use from now on. Saving for a new 4XL now. You will be one happy camper soon.

I bet you will get a Verizon model. Check if OEM Unlock is grayed out in Developer Options as soon as you get it. But if you don't care about Root/ROM, then it doesn't matter. It's a great phone and you will be very happy.

I got 2 verizon pixels a year ago, so android 8.1, and the phone trick worked to unlock them then. I would guess if either of you get a verizon one you could fastboot back to 8.1, unlock it then re-upgrade it

I got my pixel today and it was not a Verizon one. I already rooted it too! So far I love it. Since it was a Amazon renewed phone it did have some small scratches on the screen but when the screen is turned on, you can't even notice them.
I can already tell how much faster this phone is though. It's so snappy and smooth. Now I just need to get actual service for it lol.
It came with 3 free months of Mint Mobile and from what I've researched they use T-Mobile towers and I think I'm going to try it out. I was going to go with metro pcs which also runs on T-Mobile towers but I mind as well try Mint considering it's free.

I looked around for about a month before finding the deal I found. It was worth it imo.

I'm not ? sure but if it's not a new one then the guy sure fooled me. ? The way it came was exactly as a device would ship new from Google. That is a good question. Person I purchased from had like the most perfect rating I'd ever seen on eBay. I always ask questions when I buy something regardless of what the item info reads on whatever it is .. My XL had Android 8.10 on it when I received it. ? Do you know the answer to the question or were you asking? I'll see what I can find searching the subject. I'm sure there are ways and info on this.
