1. clear all caches with the recovery menu;
2. Then, factory rest
3. set up the phone as "new" rather than recovery from any Google cloud backups.
All problems resolved, never had any "Apps stopped working" again.

Band 71 missing on P2 for tmo users.

You can pick up a brand new Pixel 3 XL for about $200 shipped, not much different than this, and supports band 71.
The Pixel 2 XL is great though, used it for about 2 years.
Everyone buying one of these should pick up a USB-C silicone dust cap. Mine had some pretty bad issues charging because the port is pretty exposed. I cleaned it out with alcohol and a toothpick, that allowed it to charge, but the cable doesn't stay in very well still.
The thing from the that video is the 3aXL (not 3XL) has a much better 1080p display than 2XL. So is there 3aXL projected in back stock coming up. Some posters in the know have commented on this recent Pixel dump.

- I know the Pixel 2 does not have band 71
- I know that T-mobile has quite a few dead areas in the Midwest
- I know that T-mobile is in the process filling in many of these dead spots
- Are they using band 71 exclusively to fill in the dead areas??
I don't want to be stuck with phone that will have large dead areas.
Thanks for the input.

So I did a factory reset, after that it was stable no longer rebooting but kept saying google has stopped working.. did another factory reset from the recovery boot menu, this time I went through the whole setup, didn't skip anything.. connected back to my wifi, signed into google. after the setup it gave the google has stopped working error again. but then after updating all the apps in google play & google play updated itself, also it got 2 more OTA security updates, it stopped having issues.
The next issue was eSIM options seem to be gone?? it was asking me about setting up a eSIM when I first powered it on but now on Android 11 there doesn't seem to be any eSIM option??? with no SIM installed the Mobile Network tab is just greyed out, you can't enter it.
After installing my SIM the connection kept looping, showed a signal then would just drop to nothing & give a X over it, kept doing that till I went to the system menu to reset all network connections, I pressed that it said it reset everything, the signal went full & showed H next to it then went LTE & stayed solid, connected back to my wifi & everything seems okay now, still no eSIM option though but at least everything else seems to be working.
So currently it seems stable now on Android 11, installed my apps, discord, snapchat, amazon, everything seems to be working smoothly, no crash messages.
The camera does take a lot nicer pictures vs my Moto G7 plus, so I'm happy about that.
It overall is snappier than my Moto G7 plus.
The phone seems nice, the update process to get it to Android 11 is a mess though. If I was doing it again I'd try to sign into google play on 8.0 let it update all the apps before attempting to update the OS & see if that would prevent the issues I ran into while updating to Android 11.

After comparing it to my Galaxy S9+ I'm not worried about the blue color shift. My S9+'s screen does the exact same thing but not quite as bad. I really never even noticed it until now
