I saw in garage sales, mobile2go has pixel 2 ready stock at 3499.
Anyone has experience buying from them?

Sideloaded new factory image without wiping. Everything feels functionally the same lol. But Pixel 2 has been exposed to 8.1 features during 8.0 anyway since it is a custom build for pixels, not through AOSP.

Non pixels will see 8.1 features when they upgrade from 8.0

Update: it really does feel like a December security patch

How did you make "adb devices" detect the phone in recovery mode?
I can't get it detect the phone in recovery mode.
It detect just fine in phone normal mode and fastboot mode (fastboot devices)
I've tried to plug-unplug the cable in recovery mode but no result.
The adb is the latest version 27.

Try to authenticate the phone first when it is booted.

1. Use latest platform tools from google. The latest one only contains specific parts for Pixel 2s
2. Connect adb when phone is booted by running 'adb devices'. If returns result, all good. If no result, change connection mode from charging to MTP. Phone should prompt to authenticate PC. Click on phone to accept that authentication.
3. Run adb reboot recovery or adb reboot bootloader then go recovery
4. Phone will now be in recovery mode. Proceed to flash
5. Profit
I think need to be careful bout these kind of post. Got people reporting as informed by OP.
*
1. I'm using adb v27. Should be the latest.
2. adb devices return the device is detected when the phone is booted and authenticate correctly.
3. I run adb reboot bootloader. In this mode, when I run fastboot devices, it also give the device is detected. (Windows Device Manager shows there is device there too)
4. When change the mode to recovery by using volume button, Android ADB Interface will dissapear. adb devices also return no result.

Is there anything wrong discussing this matter? It is not something illegal, even posted in google ota download page.

Easier way, load the OTA inside phone. Go into recovery then apply update via recovery as the zip is already in your device.

Btw check back my original post. When u quote it truncate out my quoting
*
I did that too. No success. I copied ota.zip to the root of the storage folder. Tried to long press volume down button also not initiate update process.
I guess I just have to wait the ota in normal way.
I've read they are going to fix this ota issue early next year

Whats the error message that u get? Are u from DP build or stable 8.1 with nov security patch?

I am on 8.0 november patch.
No error msg, just the device not detected in recovery mode so I cannot adb sideload the ota.zip.

No I mean the error  when trying to execute the OTA zip from recovery as u already  transferred the into internal SD

Finally, I found the most important step that I missed.
I have to hold power button and press volume up button during recovery mode splash screen.
Anyway, thanks for taking your time to reply my post.

I tried to switch off group notifications from "Setting > Apps & Notification > WhatsApp > App Notifications". After a while it auto switch on again.
I don't know whether this problem is specific to pixel 2 only or whatsapp apps.
My phone is stock, no root, no bootloader unlocked.

Does anyone else having this issues?

Mine too. Lol

Suddenly group messages pop out non stop. Although I've set them to no notifications for 1 year.

But only happen once.

Why not mute in Whatsapp apps itself ? Works fine for me so far ( OG Pixel la )
*
Found the workaround for now.
Changing the notification Importance setting from Urgent (default) to High/Medium/Low would at least prevent msg pop-out from status bar.

System update is taking very long.

Does moving data from old phone using USB will include messages from whatsapp?

Just copy whatsapp folder

Hello,
Is it possible to have alarm triggered using google stock clock when phone is switched off?
or is there any 3rd party apps that have the capability?

I used to have phone which is capable of this thing.
