Just got my priv today. Have had it for about three hours. Like it so far. Always have been a BlackBerry fanboy. But since android, I made the switch and never looked back. This device seems to be the perfect mix. So far so good!

T-mobile variant - You already got T-Mobile's version of PRIV?
Yeah, walked in to the store and sales rep says "We just got 2 delivered a few mins ago. But they don't go on sale until tomorrow, eh what the heck. You want one now?"

I called T-Mobile couple of days ago and tech told me that "theoretically" unlocked PRIV on T-Mobile's network may also get AAD442 update that you got. I am currently on AAD250 with January security patch. Hope that this updates will also be available for factory unlocked PRIV devices because T-Mobile fixed couple of issue contained here: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-24554
I'm thinking of getting one today I'm a little worried about some of the negative reviews I've read. Currently have a 6 edge plus but want something different I'm tired of samsung
I've had almost every device out there except the new LG. As you know, devices are all based on personal preference. You need to determine what your highest priority is and then go from there. My top priority is battery strength. I am on the road in and out of meetings, so it is hard for me to charge during the day. I still haven't found a great great device in that regard. My next priority is the camera to take pictures of my kids. So far, the BlackBerry in the almost 24 hours that I've had it, has been great in both respects. My last device, the Nexus 6P, camera was not very impressive. Although, with marshmallow, the battery on the 6P is really good. But the Priv has lived up to all of the hype thus far. Feel free to ask any questions or a comparison of any device, as I mentioned I have had most all of the flagship devices.
Pick one up at t-mobile today as well. Miss having a fingerprint reader. The pkb is better then I expected according to reviews. I know battery life will get better.
After wanting to check one out for a while I was able to play with one at a t-mobile store. I ended up buying one, there said they only had 2 in stock so I said what the hell. I am impressed by the build quality and am getting used to a physical keyboard again. I need to dig deeper into the blackberry specific features to really get the most of it but my initial impression is positive.

PKB - Physical keyboard
I picked up a Private from TMo yesterday as well. I'm impressed so far, I really missed the physical keyboard from my old BlackBerry days. Only complaint so far is the bloat ware.

I just ordered one B&H I figured the unlocked should be the same as the tmobile variant and this was I saved a ton in taxes. I have the S6 edge now but have been with Samsung since the nexus. But I missed the good old blackberry keyboard. I tried in an att store b/c no one else had one on display. I did think the old bb keyboards were better. Can't wait till tomorrow.

With no root in sight, I went in and just disabled all the TMo apps. There are 4 I believe. Really boosted my battery life. I went from about 5-6 hours to 11-12 hours, both with moderate use. So if your having battery issues, give it a try. Oh and my phone no longer gets hot either.
Sent from my STV100-1 using XDA Premium HD app
Disabling all the bloatware was the first thing I did because I noticed a major drain with the Tmobile app.
As for having a fingerprint scanner for that quick unlock of the device... I haven't really missed it since I have an android wear watch. Smart lock has easily been my favorite feature of lollipop and on... so easy to stay mostly secure and be able to quickly unlock my device all throughout the day. I would highly suggest one for this reason!

My sister's Moto G takes way too long to charge with it's original charger. Way over 5 hours even though the device is supposed to be a fastcharge one. If she uses a standard charger from her old phone, it takes about 2.5 hours which, I think is normal considering those chargers don't support fast charge.
Yeah I'm using a Samsung fast charger which is charging from 10% to full in 50mins

Built-in, no. You'll most likely be able to use a 3rd party microUSB-to-Qi wireless charger receivers that can be found on Amazon for ~$12. Since the G4 lineup has a removable back plate, you might even be able to stick it inside the phone (if it doesn't fit, can just use a case).
Thanks for the responses, much appreciated
I'm excited about mine. I ordered one for my GF and I. I have the Note 5 but they are so slow with updates and I live down here in Colombia so walking around with the Note 5 isn't always the smartest. Plus all I use my phone for is work email, hangouts, whatsapp and skype. I will be getting mine next week and if for some reason I don't like it I can easily sell it down here. I think they run about $250-300 here in Colombia
Should've done some reseach, motorola is also quite slow with updates from what I've heard.

I've had motos before and they always released before Samsung. Half the time I have to flash third party to get the update before Samsung does the official release. Plus I don't need a $500 phone anymore. I can buy 4 of these Moto g from Amazon for the price I got the note 5 for.

I've previously had Samsung, LG, Moto and Huawei and the Moto's were the best on updating. Samsung was probably the worst but that was probably because they don't push out updates directly and instead let the providers do it. LG and Huawei, seem to make every phone end of life as soon as they release it.

Does anybody have "burn-in" problems on the screen? I know it's LCD but the icons on the notification bar burn-in extremely fast. The problem goes away 100% overnight, but what bothers me is how ridiculously fast the burn in occurs. Could my screen be defective?

Terrible gaming performance (Pokemon Go, Hearthstone)
I am experiencing terrible frame rates in the only two games I play on my device, Hearthstone and Pokemon Go.

I've only had mine a couple of days, but I haven't seen that so far.
One question. Does G4 have any restriction in Wifi tethering? The reason I asked is I got burned last time I got a Nexus 6P from Google and it does not allow Wifi tethering unless carrier's plan allows it.
Thanks,
Lyre
I really hope this comes out before the end of September. That would be really dumb to miss the opportunity to snatch up the upset Samsung customers (we have until 9/30 to exchange Note 7 for new one or change phones).
Why would they not announce the release date at the big conference??

Returned my loaner/bridge phone today,making room for the V20.
Not ruling out picking up the Note 7 again,especially if they beat LG to the punch & have it available again before the V20 hits the street.
JMHO,ya can't go wrong w/either,but,since I've already tried out the Note 7, I'd rather have the V20 at this point.
They really need to get this badboy out and about NOW! The timing couldn't be better!!
I was a bit shocked they didn't do a pre-order for the V20. But still, when they announce a phone and do a press conference, they need to at least give a date on availability even if it is up to the carrier to set price.
i read somewhere the V20 will be available at t-mobile i think the 20th or 23rd of this month
There were rumors of a 9/14 preorder
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk
I don't plan on picking up another Note 7 until I get a chance to do some hands on with the V20. I'm perfectly happy with my Note 3 at the moment. It's not as fast as the 7 is, but it does everything I need it to.
One thing that really bugged me about the N7 was the WiFi throughput. My N3 is 3-5 times faster copying files from a local samba share on two different wireless lans.
I absolutely love the N7's camera though. Best camera I've ever seen on a phone.
And if LG doesn't get the V20 out by the 30th, I'll just return the N7.

This is one of the big reasons I won't buy a Note 7.
Getting a tempered glass screen protector to work on a curved screen? Nope.
The two phones I'm looking at to upgrade from my G4 are the LG V20 and 128GB Nexus Marlin / Pixel XL
That's mostly a choice between having a removable battery and microsd card reader vs having stock Android and more frequent updates.
I can't understand why the Nexus phones don't have MicroSD card readers, and I would never buy a 32GB phone with no microsd card reader in it. But at least it is possible to charge them with a portable battery.
Also, I won't buy a V20 if it doesn't have the ability to unlock the bootloader.

I'm hoping for a release and price announcement this week. If the T-Mobile rep was correct with his/her information then pre-orders should begin on Wednesday.
And like most of you have already posted in this thread, I can't wait to trade in my S7 Edge for the V20 and go back to a flat screen. The S7E was the first phone I used with the curved edge and after 6 months of using it I can't stand it. This will be the last time.
As of 9/14/16 @0400 EDT, T-Mobile's site has the LG V10 marked down from $599 to $499,the 1st price reduction since a temporary price break about 10 months ago.

My guess is pre-orders for the LG V20 are imminent,look for it later today if you're going by a reddit post stating 9/14 as the preorder launch date & a retail availability of 9/23/16 (T-Mobile US).
This morning my internet wasn't working so I went and updated my PRL and profile and I figured I'd check for any system updates and I got the PHE update which is the green battery icon for the recall. Samsung shipped that out quick didn't they haha.

Yep, got the update, too. Green looks ugly on my AOD. I would have thought the power menu change would have sufficed.
Does this update limit charging to 60%? I know it gives you a dumb notification to turn off the phone and return it.
Damn, I just emailed samsung about this and they responded that this green battery icon was not going to happen.
That's a bummer. I know they have issues to iron out but they should have found a better way then making the ui look dated.
I know its small but a green icon in my status bar will bug the crap out of me.

I updated it and i was below 50 percent this morning and it charged all the way to 100. So no worries about it not passing 60
But was that with the original Note 7 or with a replacement Note 7? The update is sitting in my phone but I'm not doing it because I'm not sure if it will limit the charging to 60%. I'm still waiting for Sprint to ship my replacement phone.

Thanks. I don't think I want to put up with the nag message, either.
I'm having some concerns. I got the essential phone a few days ago. The first one had a 6 hour screen time, but over 2 days it would not activate on Sprint so Sprint and I agreed to exchange it. The replacement got hot and now I got the 3rd one. This one is really odd now. When it boots up it doesn't automatically download anything. I have to physically unlock it so it can get my emails and all. Then yesterday it had the shortest battery life and demanded downloading apps over WiFi. I let it download all night and it still didn't download everything... and I found the battery really used up badly without even touching the phone. It also won't download software updates claiming it's the latest. Security update is September 5th.
Also... Anyone else notice it states encrypted without actually activating encryption?

I've not had any battery issues, but I just got the phone again yesterday, had to return one because it had a bad microphone. I have noticed, however, that I tend to get notifications when I pick up the phone. Now, like I said, I just got it yesterday, so my experience pool is shallow, but I can't think of a time that notifications were waiting for me when I picked it up rather than showing up when I picked it up - like the movement is kicking something into functioning again.
As for encryption, I think all Android devices are encrypted out of the box now, and have been since Marshmallow? They tried with Lollipop, if I recall, but performance was hurt too much. I think it's a requirement to ship a device with Google's app infrastructure now.
Can anyone confirm that it shows encrypted on thiers too?

I suspect that it's like Nexel and Pixel phones. If so, have to wait for SuperSU and/or factory images, so one can extract the kernel and modify it.

As stated already, all Android devices are encrypted out of the box since marshmallow. So every device running marshmallow and up will say encrypted because it is encrypted be default. There is no way to disable it without a modified boot image.

This is the same for me after each restart. I also have to unlock the phone first. I don't have a problem with that though. I actually prefer it this way in the event that the phone is lost or stolen. It will not be updated without first being unlocked.

Now, like I said, I just got it yesterday, so my experience pool is shallow, but I can't think of a time that notifications were waiting for me when I picked it up rather than showing up when I picked it up - like the movement is kicking something into functioning again.
As for encryption, I think all Android devices are encrypted out of the box now, and have been since Marshmallow? They tried with Lollipop, if I recall, but performance was hurt too much. I think it's a requirement to ship a device with Google's app infrastructure now.

Not an issue, a feature...
Settings -> Gestures -> Lift to check phone
Anyone have data issues with some of the apps not opening/loading on the sprint network? I have to keep resetting my APN settings for it to work for a little bit then have to do it again. Any reasons as to why it does this

I ordered mine this morning around 5am PT. It showed shipped around 11:50am. Estimated delivery date is 5/9-5/10. I checked the tracking and it hasn't updated yet. I can't wait to try out this budget phone.
Did you order one on the Google Store?
Ordered after launch yesterday and received today!

i had posted the steps in the 3a/xl telegram group earlier today
This is my 3rd Google phone and I was shocked by how Google managed the phone launch this time around. I got the phone just 2 days after ordering it on launch day.
As for the Pixel 3a, I'm loving it so far for its size, weight, easy one-hand use, battery life, lean software, and great camera.
I still like my Samsung S10+ better though.

Aha! Someone with both S10+ and Pixel 3a! Do you intend to keep both?
I am still on original Moto X (How do you know your phone is old? When Chrome browser says it will no longer be updated for this OS version. Happened a couple months ago.) I was really looking forward to get S10e but decided to wait to see if there are any problems. I am really glad I did! Problems with LTE connectivity (as in lack of) mostly on Sprint (70 pages long thread on Samsung forum and similar on Sprint), overheating, Bluetooth issues, proximity sensor not working right and keeps phone up in the pocket. Have you experienced any of those on your S10+?
I looked at Pixel 3 and it was not much better (call quality issues, BT issues, flickering display). Decided to wait for Pixel 3a.
I am just really frustrated that I have pay a lot of money and deal with issues. My 5 year old phone doesn't have any except, well, being old.
EE Uk locked down my pixel 3a lol, tossers.
Battery life is pretty good

Can you describe your usage with the phone ?
I'm really impressed by your comment ?

Sure
Bunch of discord, checking xda, emails, some music using a bt headset. Brightness kind of all over the place depending on the areas lighting, played a few games, some YouTube, some Reddit, some imgur, browsing the play store, browsing fdroid, telegram. I've attached what I consider to be the final s.o.t for the phone as I'm going to plug it in now. I did notice the battery stats are missing a bunch of apps that ran, so not sure what's up with that.
It's Nice
I have a Samsung S9 as my daily phone. Google delivered the Pixel 3a is two business days, which was quick.
I bought the Google fabric case for the phone. But even without the case the 3a is the first phone I've held in a couple of years which felt "secure". Put another way, every time I handle my Samsung S9 without it's case I am scared I'll drop it, because of the extraordinarily slippery glass. The Pixel 3a feels like I won't drop it. I'm not even sure careful people need a case.
One last thing: Some of the reviews say the phone feels cheap because it's plastic and not aluminum and glass, With a case on the 3a phone no one can tell what the case is made of, or if the rear of the phone is fancy glass. I much prefer a robust phone. Because, you know, when it's all said and done, if you shatter your S9 screen, what you have is $1000 of junk.
So I'm liking this Pixel so far... . And bonus points: It has a headphone jack again! YES!!
