SRLTE and low band, for the win.  By holding on to band class 10 and band 26 both, the Pixel XL survives the library challenge better to my recollection than has any other recent handset.  In fact, I

FYI, staff will be relocating the last month of posts to the Google Pixel and Pixel XL users thread.   In the meantime, a month in to the life of the Pixel XL, a few thoughts... An apt high concept

Should we give up hope on 3x CA on the Pixel XL?

Yeah 3xCA has been live on the Pixel. It was pushed as a profile update mid-May. It's just that SF doesn't have many sites with 3 carriers, though it seems that's been changing. Check the last post I made in the SF thread to see the ones found so far. There are likely more by now, assuming that wasn't just a trial period.

You're right.  I'm actually never near any of the 3x sites.  Good thing that they are showing up quickly!

If you're near any (or happen to see one somewhere), grab the earfcn of the 2nd and 3rd carrier.

It looks like that article needs to clarify they are only talking about T-Mobile. There aren't many mentions of Sprint. Verizon, AT&T, and others have had 3xCA on Pixels for awhile.

i thought it was already active but didn't know for sure. i see a lot of speedtests on S7 and S8 devices that are a ton faster than what i have seen with pixel devices.

 

anyone have any feedback with Oreo since the final has been pushed?

Pixel XL 128 GB Very Silver

I'm assuming you all purchased directly from Google?  I bought mine back in the day from Amazon and Huawei is being obnoxious about warranty / any information.

I have the xl 2 32 gigs... the phone's okay but the battery life isn't too good

 

Are you sure that's what you have? The Pixel 2 (regular and XL) have not been officially announced yet, let alone released into the wild..

Anyone received the September security update on Pixel XL (Sprint)?  If so, could you let me know what build number you have??

I flashed my Pixel manually and it is OPR3.170623.007. According to Google, it should be the same for the XL.

The alternate, OPR1.170623.026, is labeled for "Fi/Canada": https://developers.google.com/android/ota#marlin

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Unable to confirm if it's really off but I noticed this morning that I'm no longer connecting to Band 41 on my home site. Switching my phone to LTE-only pretty much always put me on Band 41 since it was the least used band on T-Mobile's network. Now I'm only able to connect to Band 2/66. Not complaining because it means speeds are faster on LTE and maybe 150MHz n41 is around the corner.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
