I spoke with customer care via chat. They asked me to toggle the data roaming switch in settings. I seem to remember this fixing a Sprint roaming issue I had with a different Android device I owned many moons ago. I bet this fixes the problem. I'll be in Hermann Missouri this weekend to test. I'll report when I get back. They also had me update profile / prl / reboot ... but I'd already done that. I'm gonna bet this roaming turn-it-off-and-back-on-again thing actually works.

I have a Pixel 2 and could not connect to US Cellular LTE in Nebraska this past weekend. My wife's iPhone X worked fine. I'm going to try to get a hold of customer care and see if they have anything to say. I'll report back here when I get a resolution. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

This can happen even when bouncing from tower to tower on the same carrier. It's tower dependent. It took me over a month one time to convince Sprint they had a tower close to my workplace with a clock set to the wrong time. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I don't live or work or even sit down in those places for very long. But they do exist. Sparsely populated, rural areas of Kansas and Nebraska will occasionally show Verizon roaming for me on SCP. In emergency situations that can be a bummer. Rare, admittedly, but not impossible considering the players involved.

One might think it could get really hard for customers on CDMA carriers not named Verizon when big red turns it off and those other guys are left with significantly less voice roaming coverage. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

"Chris" at Tapatalk asked me for blocked IPs vs not blocked IPs the last time I had an exchange with him. You might send him your issue backed up with IP addresses. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

There's a do not disturb setting somewhere that you can turn on that will send calls straight to voicemail when they come in (when they are forwarded from your cell line). Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I can't get mine to quick charge with anything but the included cable and AC adapter, either. Not sure why. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I also use my Google Voice number in a conditional call forwarding scenario to get visual voicemail. Works very well and I've been using it for years, actually, across many devices. One caveat is that whenever your phone's profile gets updated from the network it resets the conditional call forwarding setting and you just have to re-set it up.

I'm in with Tapatalk now, too. Thanks!

My Pixel 2 does this and previously my GS7 did this in rural Nebraska.

I got a reply to my email from "Chris." I gave him the line on the IPboard security update correlation with the account sign up / login discrepancy story. He thanked me for the note said he'd pass it on to the "technical team."

I've sent an email to Tapatalk support. We'll see what comes of it.

Yeah, I've not had any problem for ages and suddenly the last few days Tapatalk won't let me in. Is can the timeline be traced back to a specific set of posts that have some feature enabled in them? Polls? Odd embedded links? Did the forum get updated? I started having trouble just before Tapatalk updated.

Added additional specs to the OP. - - - - - So far, so good with this Pixel 2. Screen still looks great. I never did get any of the clicking or whining during phone calls that some were experiencing. Phone calls sound great. Really great. Loud speakers don't sound as good as I thought they might. Kind of tin-like when you really crank up the volume. I seem to always get a data link where ever I go. Supports all the USCC LTE bands and I've had no trouble roaming (pseudo natively) in USCC territory in rural Kansas and Nebraska. Hotspot works very well. Battery lasts FOREVER w/o the bloat that often comes with non-nexus / non-pixel Android devices ... that's my favorite part. Camera is pretty fantastic. I've used the "portrait" mode on a number of occasions and receive a lot of complements on the photos. I only sort of miss the audio jack. It does come with a USB-C to 3.5mm jack dongle in the box, so I carry that around with me when I need it and get by just fine. I miss the cool factor of the wireless charging my S7 had. But really don't need it as long as this battery is lasting. I do miss the Samsung Pay tech where you can use your phone to pay at most retailers that don't support NFC mobile payments. But none of those things I miss would dissuade me from making this purchase again. After 3 months, still very happy with my choice.

Pro version or free version?

Just because you "can" do something doesn't mean you should. A company statement is not the same as comments from a public figure within an organization.

No issues here.

Android 8.1 is available for download and sideload for Pixel devices. OTA distribution should start soon.

My only block came when I made a trip through an experiment with the Pro version of Tapatalk installed. Back to the free version and no more issues for me.
