Plan on buying direct from Google for the first time. If I port to a U.S. carrier, will I rely upon them for updates and not get them when Google releases them? Can the carrier, and will they likely, lock the bootloader?

You get the updates directly from Google. Verizon did something incredible were they actually released an update, monthly security patch I believe, even before Google did.

Any guess if the Pixel 3 will suffer from lack of ROM development vs the 3 XL as it has with the Pixel 2 ??

hope most people will get pixel 3.. xl is so damn ugly!

Im in for P3 and the wireless charger.

probably same here!

Thanks for this noob thread! Just watched the live event. Was wondering about the Titan Security chip that they announced in the P3 & Slate. The guy said it "protects the integrity of the OS". Will this prevent rooting and stuff like Xposed?

I would imagine it's not going to help matters. Regardless, Verizon will be utterly locked down.

Is there any confirmation yet of whether the bootloader can be unlocked on the Pixel 3 via the standard `fastboot flashing unlock` if I buy from the google store? I need a phone that supports T-mobile's 600 and 700MHz bands, but don't want to have to compromise my phone just to unlock the bootloader, so am hoping that the Pixel 3 is the device for me.

I second the question regarding the titan chip and rooting. Any thoughts out there if this will prevent rooting?

This is my first time ever being interested in a Google phone with the regular pixel 3, I'm a long time Samsung/HTC guy. I am interested most in the camera, do you lose any functionality when unlocking the bootloader and/or custom roms (AOSP) for the camera? Samsung/Sony both lose basic funtionality and its always been a hhuge turn off. Being "Stock Android" I imagine not but would like to know. I was waiting to see how treble treated the unlockable snapdragon s9 but it seems like treble is useless and the pixel seems more enticing now.
thanks for any help.

My bet is root will be doable but permanent recovery will be very hard.

If anyone sees a review that shows the notification LED, please link it here. Curious to see if it's the same as they did on the Pixel 2.

I'm interested in the sound quality on those pixel USB c earbuds that come in the box. If anyone can find a review or test theirs that would be awesome as I want to get these for my pixel 2

Q: How do I video chat?
Google, unfortunately, did not develop a native app to support video chat and so we must rely on some from the marketplace. Right now, as far as I'm aware, Tango is the only one that has been updated to support video chatting on the Nexus S.

There are a few video apps out...Tango being on the top of my mind right now. Yes, right now the video market kinda sucks for us but I'm expecting the void to be quickly filled by either Google directly via Google Talk and / or by Skype as well (they recently purchased Qik).
There are a number of threads / discussions about this very same topic. I would encourage you to venture over to the General section of the Nexus S and review some of the threads on this topic.
Its been and probably still is being discussed.

You bash on Tango for not being true video calling and you mention the iPhone being hot item. The iphone's facetime is also like tango and is not true video calling (like you describe) it also only works with other iphone4/itouch4 only and wifi only.
You obviously here on the forum reading everything and this "topic" has been discussed before. Seems like you're just making a thread just to further point out/complain something you ALREADY know.

You forgot to mentions Macs. Facetime works with iPhone/Touch/Macs.

what we need is a universal video calling standard, apple initially said that it would make facetime for different platforms but that has yet to happen
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I doubt Apple is going to make anything for any other platform besides its own. They did mention opening up facetime so others can integrated or create apps based on it, but not actually make it work for other platforms.
And Tango blows chunks compared to FaceTime, say what you want about Apple but I have yet to see any Video calling App work as smooth as theirs. And yes I've tried Tango over WiFi it's still laggy and choppy.
Yeah tango sucks. I even tried it with my bosses iphone with my ns. It sucked on both ends, so its not a phone issue. Oovoo need to get off their fat... assets... and finish their ns compatibility. Theb we can even video chat to desktops!

Made up story? It's a listing on the bluetooth certification website displaying a variant of a currently existing model.
ATT model is in the works and will be announce...probably within this week as it seems to be finishing up all it's certifications.
How come JCopernicus's thread is merged/moved and subsequently **** upon in like 4 minutes, and there are, what, half a dozen threads in Nexus S general that are out of place? Including a 27 pager that is the EXACT premise of this one..
Wow, AllGamer, you left your own Q&A thread in Nexus S general, moved JCopernicus's here (where it doesn't belong as its hard news NOT rumor).. its a wonder XDA has a NOOB problem, there is no rhyme or reason to any of this

1. I searched the general section and NO thread came up with what was posted *see 3.
2. It wasn't a question that required an answer. (Don't get me started on how ridiculous the QA subsection is).
3. It is new information
4. ???
5. Profit.
I was actually looking for this thread exact thread in my search to post it, but because the QA section is a retarded idea I didn't look inside it. Aside from the fact this thread is from December 6th of 2010, and nearly 150 posts deep. Nobody would bother to look in here for new information even if it was posted.
not new information
it was already posted back on post #92
that's exactly why you search all sub forums not just General
and lets get back on topic, as this going pretty off topic as it is

How is this going off topic since it has everything to do with the ATT Nexus S(the topic of this thread).
The new model variation IS new information, because it was just uncovered today. The announcement of it going to canada is news that has been posted already and is not what I was posting.
You mods need some major improvement in handling and organizing this forum.
Rather than actually cleaning up a mess, you guys just go even further in spamming the forum in trying to make a point. Jeez.
Ironically, the mod put the thread in the wrong forum. *high five*

Welcome to the N00b Crushing defence guide.
Things you will need:
To know the rules (Here) - You will not be tested at random
And to use PROPER ENGLISH
Things I don't like:
Spam posts in ROM Dev, IE, Q's
Posting in wrong sections (Unless you ask (In proper English) to have it moved)
Asking for ROM Dev posting permissions from me, or any other Mod to press a magic button and fix it, as we don't have a magic button (Or one that lets you post in ROM Dev )
Posting a Q without the Q tag (Worse than posting a Q in ROM Dev, or is it ) - See illustration
Posting in bad English - See illustration
Patience, not everyone is online at the same time

Sensation
Well; I am brand new here, as well as to Android, (in depth) really! Yes; I owned a Samsung Epic on Sprint, and a LG GX2 on T-mobile, but the GX2 will be going back today. I had some issues with the sim which was replaced, then it happened again and I fixed it. It worked good for a day then started it all over again so they ruled it the device itself.
So I will be learning of course, and then on June 8th I will get my HTC Sensation. Even though I have only had the GX2 for about a week I am dreading reactivating my old Verizon (no contract) phone for 27 days!
However I will be watching here as well as several other sources to figure out as well as get accessories and advice for my Sensation during that time. My GX2 also did not work at all with my Square CC reader, and this specific unit had some other issues as well.
I guess I could go all negative (on LG and T-Mobile) but don't see much point in a focus on that. Plus I will get a better ( I know that's a personal outlook device wise really) phone in the long run. I like the sensation better so it worked out better in the long run.
OK enough rambling this is my initial post here so I am just saying "hello world"!

Can't wait to see your work m8
I appreciate the rules you have laid out badwolfe because grammar is so important in forums. Although, i have pretty bad grammar myself (ironic), i am always trying to improve lol
I am currently in the process of leaving VZW and taking a job working for T-mobile and ill be picking up the Sensation asap! i was pretty active in the root community at droidforums.net since the release of the D1 (droid 1). looking forward to learning about this new device with you all!

ISIS

As has been discussed in other forums (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2047927), ISIS has gone live with the OTA JB for Verizon. I have discussed my experiences in the above thread, but I am starting this thread in the development section, because what I want to know is more relevant to this forum.
Somewhere along the way installing ISIS, I came across a message saying ISIS will not work on rooted devices. I have heard that elsewhere as well. My question is, how true is that? will it no longer work as soon as I root? even if I just root and stay stock and not change ROMs? Is there any way around that? Perhaps can you deny root access in SuperUser/SuperSU to ISIS?
I know many people are just going to say get Google Wallet instead, but believe it or not, I like ISIS better and what to keep it!
Has anyone tried getting to work on rooted or any custom ROMs?
Until now I haven't had a desperate need to root, but I'm planning on going abroad soon and I'm going to need APN access so I can continue to use my phone with a local SIM.

Reserved one last.
Good thread to help get all the questions and answers collected in a single thread.
My question is:
What are the specs of SD 835 in S8/S8+ vs Exynos 8895 (9 Series) in S8/S8+? Cores speed etc.
So I am considering the S8+...
~~~long story~~~
Note 4 locked me out cuz i somehow glitched out my samsung account, to the point where it was no longer on the phone. did a factory Reset to try and get the samsung account back, and now its asking for my samsung account, and it fails.. So basically Its asking for a ghost account. I am going to send it off to samsung to get it unlocked. but That gives me reason to get the S8+
~~~End~~~
Few things,
1. What do you think would be the best variant of the phone to get? (I am looking into changing carriers, currently on metro, thinking about tmobile.)
-I want to Root it, Should i just pre-order from Samsung and buy the international, or just get the Tmobile version? or maybe verizon idk. My note 4 never got a root because it was the AT&T variant, don't want to repeat.
2. Dex! Do you think we will be able to load up Linux? or Specific Virtual PC's with Corporate VPNS on them?
-This is was really is selling the phone for me, If I can load up a bunch of Virtual PC's on here, that'd be pretty bad ass.
3. If I decide to go with the Note 8 later this year, do you think the S8+ will retain its value on Swappa, that Way i can just sell and upgrade? (I use my stylus all the time, but Im thnking if I set up a sick Dex set up in my work van I won't really need the stylus.
4. How excited are you?
Any xda devs out there who have the exynos S8+ on order? Want to know who to bug for root and twrp access (err.. I mean who to send paypal donations too...):laugh: more than anything though, would be very apreciative if a dev could confirm after inspecting it if exynos S8+ is in fact bootloader locked.
Cant beleive how many drop tests and reviews on youtube not one addressing if exynos has a locked bootloader.
Hi i have a note 5 with some old versions off apps, am i better off just copy the apk or will loging in account let me download the old version on my new phone?

Yeah really, it's not available yet...
Lets call it friends on the right places...
I just want to know about the deals they had in place for previous Note 7 users and where/when the Blue Coral version will be available.

I gof the F variant...
Just some....
will the unlocked version of S8+ = exynos version? I was ordered one online, still waiting for it...
and, what time will we have root/magisk/3 party roms release?
thanks
Has anyone come across any micro sd cards they will be using in their s8's.
I have At&t unlimited data plan, but no tethering option.
Will rooting my device allow me to make it a mobile hotspot and if so, will I have unlimited data through that hot spot as well?
Telus Canada
Hey man when searching for the right version of roms / root. As telus user what version usually represents us?
Verizon, AT&T, T-mobile, US cellular, and how do I know if I have a locked boot loader.
Last and not lease, is the GALAXY S8 PLUS going to be rootable?
Hopefully there is gonna be a section on the forum for telus Canada.
Thanks.

Hows it bro?
I watched a few Youtube Videos today with diffrent comparison methods between s8/s8+ s7/s7e in some Benchmarks and AppStuff.
My Device (g935f @ Superstock Rom / superkernelwith Synapse Tweaks) is sometimes faster then S8. Special with Games the S8 is a little more better in speeds.
I cant see a big Reason why to buy me a new S8, when my actual S7e brings the same speed and function's. (Dont need Bixby or any ohter Voice App so..) The Camera is also the same with (too) little diffrences for my suggestion.
And i think the S8 cant get to 5-6hours SOT so far like an S7e. Ok 5-6 hours with Systemmods like Superstock, Synapse and Modkernel.. but i think with Stock Rom you get nearly 4-5hours SOT with normal usage.
So im interested of you guys..what do you think about it ? You think like me, stay with S7 and Upgrade with Note 8 or S9 next time ? Or you wanna buy the S8 right now or later with better prices ?

Question Can someone make a gapps custom ROM with pixel 7 pro?

I do have a unlocked bootloader. So are custom roms possible yet? I know for sure, root is.
Lmfao
Are they possible? Yes. You'll likely have to give it longer, though, until they start to appear. Possibly a couple of months.
Rule #1 is never ask for an ETA!!!

Dude do you have the necessary IQ, to be able to speak intelligently instead of being a XDA's groupie?
When you go to XDA it's not to stay on stock huh lol but to find out what mods/roms there are for your device, now if there's nothing on xda, it's time to ask yourself the right questions, in any case that does mean that there is no development for this device. XDA is not what it used to be, deal with it.
Most devs stay away from XDA, and honestly when I see the kind of dumb users there is on this forum, I think I should stay away too lmao

Listen, kid, there's nothing wrong with stock, rooted, couple magisk mods for customization, maybe a custom kernel or something. NO need to be measuring weiners by posting how many projects aren't on the website you're commenting on. Either be a productive member by helping people and not flaming, or go by the wayside. Kid.
haha the way you express yourself clearly makes me think that I must be much older than you tbh.
You're immature but don't worry I don't lose hope maybe someday you'll be mature who knows?
The kid.
And if you both calm down a bit and chill i want to say that @flyl0 is right. The most devs moved to telegram and they don't care about XDA anymore. If people really want to know about the development of any device they need to check telegram.

He has a point about XDA not being what it used to be. Back in the Android 4-5 days, especially KitKat you could find a custom recovery, root, rom, kernels, with various options for a $100 Boost phone nobody had. It was hard finding a phone that didn't have a ton of custom options like I mentioned. That's what got me into Rooting, etc
XDA doesn't have to be what it used to, but it still doesn't deserve little piss ants putting words in the mouth of a moderator that didn't say what he said.
I don't see any contribution from fly at all, and for him to come bad-mouthing is uncalled for.

I don't see any contribution from you too. I think the moderater can speak for himself and doesn't need your support.
And I don't go bad mouthing our community that I've been a part of for over 10 years

I know I would have deleted half this thread already (or reported to a FSM) if I couldn't mod it.
My custom builds are running great on the Pixel 7 Pro (cheetah), only thing left to fix is passing CTS...
