Maybe it's possible to get carrier-specific abilities in the Carrier Services app. Last year at this time I would definitely say it isn't possible.

I haven't read anything on S4GRU with any live 4CA sites, but I don't get around to all of the threads. My home site is an old clear site, no 2xCA for me on that one. All the Clear sits in the KC area are broadcast 2xCA if they have B41. Are you sure there is no CA on that site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please not I'm not complaining about coverage. I'm happy with it.

It's Sprint, and I don't have a B41 confirmation on it either. By the way... I had no idea there was a street call Cowherd.... Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCP screen shot, and perhaps engineering screen to see CA settings. Probably best to move this over to one of the KS market threads now, ha.

Arysyn Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Seems as the Pixel XL 2 is better for Sprint while the V30 is better for T-Mobile, in terms of frequency availability. I'm still considering either one of them, or possibly ditching emulation on the phone and going full Apple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now, its the most technically advanced phone coming to the Sprint network. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skid71 Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Rumored price to be $849 per Android Central. Extremely competitive market, with only a single camera, I'd expect 64GB of on-board storage for that price. We shall see 2 weeks from tomorrow. UPDATE: Android Police reports have 64gb at $849, 128gb at $949. I'm good with 64gb and add the cost of Pixel Protect. I learned the hard way with my Nexus 6P.

JonnygATL Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I am definitely interested in checking more into this phone. Am I correct in assuming all phones being released from this point on (before now, really) are HPUE compliant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy_vag Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I'm not quite ready for losing the headphone jack, so might stick with my Pixel XL 128GB for one more year. While I see usb-c someday being a solution along with bluetooth, but when you're traveling and trying to watch a movie on your seatback screen, you better have headphones that work with the headphone jack. Getting lightning or USB-C or BT headphones doesn't solve that problem. argh. Buying more dongles or new headphones doesn't resound well with my mantra of traveling light. Now, if Sprint + TM merger happens AND Pixel 2 supports B71.... that might be a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swintec Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 that price is out of control, no thanks. EDIT- No thread yet for the Pixel 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 My 64 GB Nexus 6P was $549! The 64 GB Pixel XL2 is $849. Have phones really become $300 better? I personally do not see $300 in improvement here. I guess I will stick with my Nexus 6P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swintec Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Surprised there is no love for the Pixel 2 for the most part. Maybe its because its made by HTC? After the bolt i swore i would never go HTC again but i have to think google wouldnt let a product like the pixel get HTCs suckiness all over it would they? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
