Good day guys, let me shed light on the issue on ground.

Some Google pixel devices came network locked and getting a network locked pixel is cheaper than factory unlocked.

So some guys buy the cheaper locked. The device can be unlocked either temporarily or permanently
The temporary unlock I think is what the guy did here, the temporary unlock works but when you factory reset or update your phone, it locks back.

The permanent unlock is expensive and no seller will want to spend that amount to unlock.

So if you want to buy any pixel phone, ask seller if it's network unlocked, if he says yes put your SIM, factory reset and see if it brings network or not

OYA I DON UPDATE UNA, WHO GO BUY ME DRINK LAIDIS?

If you hear WWU or software unlock, please run oo.
If the option to unlock bootloader is greyed out, still run except you can confirm it is FU with the IMEI

Or you're fully aware of what you're buying and okay with it.
That's all.

Good day house, please any issue updating to Android 14? I want to update my pixel 6, thanks.
Re: Google Pixel Discussion Thread by Bossman(m): 4:51pm On Oct 06, 2023
Very good advice. Except if the seller specifically informs you that a factory reset will render the device not usable. Then in that case you'll know what you are buying. IMO, the seller should clearly state in the description the conditions of the device, and if it can be reset or not. I personally will NEVER purchase a device that I can not reset.

OHIsIManuEL:
Guys, whenever you're buying a used phone, always do a factory reset on the spot before paying.
Let the seller know you're going to factory reset it and if anything happens, you're not going pay.
Also try as much as possible to buy FU phones only.
A word is enough for the wise.

Re: Google Pixel Discussion Thread by Dwightventures(m): 8:33pm On Oct 06, 2023
Google Pixel 6 Pro with no network issues, fully factory unlocked still available for ₦200,000.

Screen needs to be bright to prevent flickering and poor blacks. I can live video it for serious buyer

Re: Google Pixel Discussion Thread by PrimeQuay: 9:38am On Oct 07, 2023
It seems the best option is just to buy a brand new phone.

Some Nigerians can't even be honest with small business. How do you expect someone to buy a phone and not factory reset it??

Crazy world.

No issues so far..

It is the reason a series of beta was released before final launch.

Yes, i only want to know if Google enabled 5g for mtn,
is there a petition Google Pixel users in Africa should sign to beckon Google to collaborate with telecos in Africa and end this 5g blocking?

okay, the thing is the 5g speed mtn is offering is actually 4g peak speed.... Just that symbol 5g feels good to the eye, do you have your preferred network mode on 5g?

I changed it to 4G, I noticed on preferred mode 5G my battery drains faster because it keeps searching for 5g Network, my 4G MTN here gives me 200 Mbps to 300mbps no stress, so I don't really need the 5G speed

Wait.. what exactly do you mean "thread carefully?" I saw an very good deal and commented in that regard.. something I often do to encourage people who might be having doubts with pricing...But you decided to read too much meaning?
Because I rarely comment, you think I'm a new comer here who don't know whom is whom?
