I'm the system admin at my employers and as such use an IPSEC XAuth PSK VPN on my mobile to connect in if a problem occurs when I'm out of the office and not near a laptop. This has always worked successfully in the past (Nexus 5x, Nexus 5, etc).
However I've recently moved to a Pixel and the same configuration fails to complete the connection. Viewing live debug information on the security appliance has shed no light on this, and sadly the NMF260 build hasn't resolved the issue.
Currently there is a bug raised at https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=226180, however given the low priority assignment I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on any under the hood changes in 7.1.1 in this area (DH Groups, Encryption changes, Dead Peer Detection support, etc.). I've had a look around but not found anything useful so far.
Anyone else in a similar boat?
NB: it's worth noting that my home L2TP / IPSEC VPN continues to work perfectly.
I see that you had little luck here too T_T
Today the trial version of vonscilla ended for me, which left me out of our Cisco based xauth psk VPN.

Regular people would never understand why I carry 4, 5 phones with me. It's for the very reasons you mentioned. I have different phones to monitor and troubleshoot front and back ends of my corporate firewalls.

Curious, if the VpnCilla app trial was working for you, why didn't you just buy the full version?
I've used it for years with great success on several platforms, well worth the little cost of it.
I am only moving away from it due to security changes in our network which will require the use of mobile duo authentication shortly.
Just looked it up, paid $4.99 in July 2013 for a tool I have used with great success for years.

I'm the same way.. sometimes. As a sys admin have the company petty cash pay for it, though the price is really less than a draft beer on happy hour. Bite the bullet on this one and save the outrage for the expensive $100 principles. It will be worth the peace of mind, imo.

Yeah, well... the phone is mine, no company phone or account
Only thing that keeps me from buying it is that i had no need for it (for now), and we are upgrading the old networking hardware. I believe we will end up with cisco anyconnect.
If an emergency arrises that only vpnscilla can save me from, i will buy it

Anyconnect works well but be careful of split tunneling. I fought with that for some time and finally called TAC support. Perhaps by now it's better documented and easier to configure. You're getting an ASA I presume?

We're stuck with Fortigate and their woeful support for now (I've had a ticket open for 5 months currently at European Director level).
Trialing Meraki at another site which is so far pain free.
Had the same Problem with my pfsense/opnsense appliances. I never got a working connection with my pixel, so i switched my vpns to ipsec ikev2 with mschapv2-eap, which is way more reliable. Shame on Android, no native client available, so you need the strongswan app

I've now escalated the bug via Pixel support, supplying them with the relevant logs which have been passed to engineering.
cocchiararo,
Might be worth you doing the same if you have 10 minutes to spare.

First - enjoy your vacation, but on your return if you have the opportunity to contact pixel support it might help move things forward.
I contacted Pixel Support using the "Contact Us" chat link on their UK site: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/?visit_id=1-636205345232990126-3550376135&rd=2#topic=7078250 and explained the issue, referencing the bug tracker.
They followed up by email and requested I provide logs from the Pixel showing a connection attempt and provided the following instructions (which involve switching Developer Options on - this additional settings menu should be hidden after the next OTA).

1. Though phone is has 128 GB storage when it is connected its shows as 2.2 GB
2. Not sure what is actual version and model of this.
3. Bixby won't work
4. Navigation settings bar won't work
5. No other settings available
6. Currently it is stocked with T-mobile software and its not getting updates from T-mobile
refer the attached screen shot more details of software and kernel etc

Due to the above problems taught of installing new software using Odin as instructions shared in our forums . It has Chinese boot loader and by selection "Wipe/Clear eMMC" its never stays in download mode to install the software. Odin is also not detecting the phone.
Could you please help me installing new OS and solving the above problems ?

Yep definitely a knockoff with the Mediatek CPU. Samsung use either Qualcom Snapdragon or Exynos CPU. You won't find a Mediatek CPU in Samsung device...
You've been ripped off, hope you didn't pay too much...

Thank you . I am confused by storage total space shows as "128GB" and Phone storage shows as <4GB
They use an app to trick the phone into showing more storage than it has. I had one from Thailand that said 64gb internal storage but after a factory reset the story was VERY different.
It's like the sd cards you can get that are supposedly more than what they really are.
Usually once you exceed the storage limit you loose data or corrupt everything.
You have a novelty toy, nothing more....
I really hope yuou didn't pay $50USD If you paid via Paypal, bite the bullet , put in a for this (and even that seems a bit high for what your showing)as you have been ripped off BIUG time if you paid any more...
If you used Paypal, put in a dispute and send the item back to get your money back. The dispute is the item is a fake. You didn't get what you paid for...

Just some.advice, cause that listing looks shady as sh1t...if you're going to buy off Craigslist have the seller meet you at T-Mobile so they can verify its a genuine T-Mo device. If they're not willing to do that, then run, run, run from that listing.
This is low quality fake S8+, you won't able to install Samsung firmware and it will only break it if you do so.
For price of $350, definitely impossible is a real one.
Hi guys !

Personaly i don`t agree, i`ve had the the 3/ 3T/ 5 and support is terrible. They can`t get the camera software/ processing up to par and and after only 6 months your device is allready obsolete. Would never buy a OP again. Nokia fills the gap between OEM devices and the Pixels by creating a new affordable Nexus line, imo a golden move for all android purists.
I've got the Beta, and the only issue I have is the 'xxx is running in the background' alerts (which are part of Oreo anyway, and annoying rather than a showstopper), and lock-screen display is not showing the number of e-mails and texts unread.

Roll back is full wipe. Not something I'll be doing anyway. Sticking with oreo
I also updated to Oreo, so far i have found everything snappier.
Just hope they get the ringtone volume back to nougat levels.
camera seems to take slightly sharper images, but no increase in speed taking shots.
All in all this phone is what the pixels should be, all phones should come with a memory card slot.

Picked up a Mi Mix 2S (had a Mi Mix 2 for about a week), and I wanted to unlock the boot loader like the Mi Mix, and Mi Mix 2.
Mi Mix took 3 - 5 days, after having to go on miui forums to beg to get the sms notification to try to unlock it.
Mi Mix 2 took 72 hours... Yeah, I know, whatever. (had it about two weeks ago, and unlocked it)
Mi Mix 2s that I received yesterday, says after 1st attempt... 360 hours! That's 15 F'in days.
What Da F*** is that?!?!?!?
Is there no workaround? Can you PAY to get it unlocked faster?
This is amateur hour.

i feel with you bro… need still wait 16hours… just tried it a couple of times… i'm not sure if its really needed to wait all the time but i didn't tried any tricks at all...
i also read trying to often maybe blocks the account at all...
i thougt that my dumbass unlock tries blocked me for 360hours... i tried a couple of times unlocking but i didn't read correctly where to bind my account in the phone.. i did this a couple of times.. until i realized that i need to enable the dev mode and there bind the mi account…but looks like this is just a protection at all that resellers don't flash fake or custom roms at all...

I think it's better to have time limit on unlocking than have chinese sellers flashing shady stuff on every unit they sell. You can still unlock eventually, which is nice.

I don't agree with this analogy. It makes no sense. If that is the mongering reason behind this, then one day why not have hours replaced by days... 360 days? C'mon! Let's stop repeating the rhetoric.
Had I have known before, I may have NOT have purchased the Mix 2S. But once you open it and use it, you bought it. It tarnishes a great product. It comes across like a fumbling amateur, who will one day face the North American market and have to overcome much greater obstacles and scrutiny that is not biased from the public eye.
Okay, the Mix was 3 - 5 days to unlock as "people" and Xiaomi navigated the waters. I had to escalate it online to get it to unlock.
The Mix 2 was less new to me, the concept, and to an extreme better laid out (the unlocking process). Even though frustrating, having to wait 72 hours, it was what it was, a long weekend and done with.
The Flagship Mix 2S will take me 360 hours. Is that the standard for everybody? Or is it (like me) you request a 2nd unlocking within 360 hour period, automatically go from a 72 hour wait to 360 wait?!?!! Am I some kind of shady dealer LMFAO!
C'mon Xiaomi, your making Bruno Mars say WHAT?!?!?!!?

Or you just order a factory sealed one, like I did, simple as that.
Most sellers want to sell phones, can't be bothered by installing "shady stuff".
Often the sellers offer to flash a Global Version rom as a service, for the not so technical buyers.
For the technical buyers & if it says Global version, just drop the seller a message you want it sealed.
Moving units asap is the goal, every extra flashing that needs to be done costs time.
........edit.......... 360 hours also waiting for Mi ehrm.. me.. Seems to be general, unlocked lots of Mi before...

My unit WAS Sealed... brand, spanking new, global version. I broken open the seals myself. Just like the Mix 2 (which requested 72hours), the Mix 2S was sealed, it even had more packaging, protective plastic piece in place over the front and rear of the phone than the Mix 2.
Cheers
Would anyone be willing to share his account with privileges with me just for the unlock?
Purchased the Mix 2S from a big reseller here in germany, now have to wait 360 hours

Appreciate it! Sent you a pm
Edit: Flatric helped me out with his account and I can confirm: It does not matter if you already have an unlocked Mix 2s on your account, the 360hour delay still pops up for the other device. Disappointing.
If you had an old enough MI account, you can unlock the phone instantly.

Open the samsung shop app , logging with the same mobile num you purchased and click "For You" there you could redeem it if you are eligile.
My case is, I cannot still see the offer there. Please respond if you are able to redeem.

I didn't take copy of option. From what I remember I think I'll go for Watch bands.
I already have Samsung wireless single charger. Hence not planning to purchase one more

Talked to the shop app today morning... Said it'll be live in the evening after 3
It's evening 7 and still not live
Haha Samsung online shop is such a joke here.
Now they are saying anytime after mid-nigh. Feeling cheated by Samsung this time. First delay in shipment and now delay in redemption

Yeah, although it should increase to 12-13k after the festive sales.
Still good deal at 6k i think!
I would be happy if there was wireless charger and sports bands but the offer is extreme sports band with wireless charger..
