Friday I got my replacement Pixel 2 XL. This was an accidental damage replacement from Assurant.
The device I received had VERY old September or October 2017 build on the device. I'm not even sure it was shipping code. I looked for the update and when I did I got this message:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The update it took was actually the Sept 5 update. There wasn't anything interesting there, but the device ended up downloading at least one dogfood version of an app: the playstore:
Overall the playstore had a real refreshed look to it. I say had because at some point the device downgraded all of the apps to production versions on its own.

Saturday last week, my Samsung Focus burned the display itself after 25 days old in Vietnam (I bought it from AmazonWireless on Jan 08, unlocked it with fastgsm). Right now, after turned on it displays nothing and the burned conner become very hot that I have to unplug its battery.
I sent an email with pictures to Samsung US but they refused and asked me to call them (pictures are thousand words but they didn't accept??? ). I wonder if there is anyone has the same problem to me and how Samsung resolve it.
Thanks

Good thing you have a warranty. I would take advantage of it.
what you dont understand is samsung cannot do something with just a picture... they have to have the phone in hand to make the decision....
Folks, For a change, lets have some fun.
I know we would luv our DVP's and our friends would envy it, if it was not for the Wifi and freeze issues.
So, for a moment lets presume that we do have a bug-free DVP. Now come show the best part of your home screen!!!
Here is mine ( a bit photoshopped for the luv). And this will be my profile pic for sometime.

If it makes you feel any better I was on the phone with dell customer support earlier today and according to the they are supposed to be releasing a new firmware update this week or next that should resolve the wifi issue and freezing. Take that with a grain of salt though as it seems dell has said this to customers before.
I know that Firmware Finder had L29C636B585 listed a long time ago, due to how nougat signature is different from mm, it is impossible for us to flash L29C636B585 onto our B563. Recently i contacted Huawei Singapore regarding the L29C636B585 firmware and this is how i got the update 7 days after contacting them.
1) Contact your local Huawei Facebook Page
2) Make a note that you signed up the Early OS Adopter

3) And you wait
May I know what theme did you use as I notice your background is black color. I like the black color as background
I was going through SD Maid and freezing apps, when I came across an app called "OPAod" com.oneplus.aod, and in my overly hopeful mind, this could mean OnePlus AlwaysOnDisplay. I went through the bools and found some similar code to that for the Pixel 2, "doze_display_state_supported". Did a cursory Google search for the package, and couldn't find anything outside of file hosts. Any thoughts?
(My work computer blocks imgur, so I'm not sure if the pictures will work)

Google added an always on display option for all its phones including the Nexus ones as part of the Oreo update. It's possible One Plus is considering a similar feature but hasn't enabled it yet.
Got the August Patch OTA while it's still August even! About time Scamsung!
Yep, got it too.
Yeah seriously. I check for updates everyday.
( kinda an ocd quirk i guess )
And was very suprised to have AUGUST patch ready to dowload. Go sprint. Have us fall 2 months behind. Then give us 2 updates in 2 weeks lol. Now to make sure my note stays carrier unlocked after this ota. If it does i think its safe to assume i am infact permanently unlocked. ( YUP STILL UNLOCKED FOR ANY SIM CARD GOOD STUFF )
