[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] railshot:
Camera hardware itself is nice. If you take pictures in manual mode and you know what you are doing, they come out just fine. The camera software however is pretty horrible. In Auto mode, you get blur because the shutter setting is off for the scene type. And after, the picture is heavily post processed that does not help the looks.

Problem for me is that if I want to take pictures in manual mode - I get my DSLR. With the phone I want convenience and speed which means Auto mode. So, despite having nice hardware, effectively camera sucks in a typical smartphone application.

You may try a 3rd party camera app to see if it fixes the blur for your.

Im sorry if this post is out of place. But im fixing to get the lg v20 from at&t and iv heard alot about the back camera glash cracking easily. Is this still a problem, and if so, is there a solution?

Some people had issues, but it faded pretty quickly.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Shadow Assassin:
Thanks, I know its easy to replace, but id rather not go ahead and buy the replacment if its got a good chance of surviving this harsh world.

What I meant was the whole flood of complaints seems to have disappeared. In the three V20s I've had (camera quality problems on my first one and the third is another person's), the glass has been fine.

Friend bought a used 5x from Swappa and it come with an unlocked bootloader, nbd. We flashed stock firmware and left it as is. He's happy.

Now that Android Pay/Safetynet is detecting his bootloader, he's not having any of it. Wants to lock the bootloader back up to restore AP functionality. I just want to confirm, 1.) this will wipe EVERYTHING on it, correct (I told him to get everything backed up)? And 2.), do I need to flash stock images before locking even though it's a bone stock 7.0 setup?

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] twostep665:
Everyone,

Check the top right corner of your Pixel XL. Look and see if there is a tiny separation happening at the top right corner where it meets the top/side. I happened to notice on mine. It is very small but it's there. It's not like that on the left side. I went up to the Verizon store to possibly swap it out but while I was waiting for a representative I looked at their floor models and noticed the same separation on all of their models. It seems as if there was an adhesive used to fuse the phones together that did not stick on that side. I was actually able to press down on the corner and it would move so I know it is an actual separation. I'm curious to see if anyone else has noticed this?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] digitalallstar:
Front or back? Either way there is no separation on mine on either side.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] twostep665:
It's on the front. Around the top right corner. It's very small and hard to spot. I got 'lucky' and saw it in a certain light and now I can't unsee it!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] digitalallstar:
Nope. Screen meets the frame with no separation.

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

My screen meets the frame on all sides. No separation.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ExcuseTheN00b:
No issues over here. Everything is sealed. Did you drop it or hit it on something by accident or has it been around any heat? If not could be a defective unit.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] twostep665:
Nope. Haven't dropped it or anything. Hehe I haven't had it long enough for that yet! Like I said before though all the verizon floor models had this same little separation. It probably isn't a big deal but I was just curious to see if anyone else had it. I'm have a Verizon model if that makes any difference.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] neyenlives:
Nothing here
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ExcuseTheN00b:
Mine is from Google Store. I did go to a Verizon the other day but didn't really notice anything. There is a Verizon on my way to work so I will stop in and look at the floor models.

I HAVE deportation on the back, and it broke pressing the headset to my ear to hear my father better today...... I got the insurance but planned on returning it in 14 days because I have a Google over on the way.... Luckily Google said he will talk to Verizon for me and hook a brother up. This whole pixel thing is a disaster..... Phone is mint besides that minor stress fracture/shatter... FML shoulda just listened to the wife use a flip phone.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] yacchatta:
no, you are not crazy. :)

I also got it from google store and have tiny gap between the aluminium case and the front glass. It's very little, but it is there. I don't have another camera here right now, but when I'm home I'll try to take a shot of it.

I have the silver version and I guess with it you can see the gap better than with other color versions.

Anyway, luckily my case covers the gap, else I couldn't unsee it too. ;)

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] biggiestuff:
Man, this is not good. If you watch the ifixit, the screen is only held on with adhesive. There is no bracket or screws that hold it into place like the iphone. QC is probably working overtime to get all these units out. I'd say exchange it out until you get one that satisfies you. The hassle is that quantity is limited so it'll take time for you to get the exchange.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] baniels:
Mine has it too. Never would have noticed had I not seen this thread.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] twostep665:
I think ill exchange it but i got a feeling that a lot of these units will have this exact issue.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] yacchatta:
Here is photo of mine...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bsg411:
It's probably a manufacturing flaw. I don't have the phone but my 6p has a noticeable flaw to whereas if you knock on the top half of the phone it makes a ticking "lose" sound.... Wouldn't you know the pixel xl demos at the Verizon store do the same thing.

I bet yall your phones have the loose ticking sound too if you tap on the top half of the phone.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] twostep665:
Looks exactly like mine. Are you worried about this being a problem down the road?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] baniels:
Yup. You are right. That bothers me more than the visible space, which is covered by the case.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 903tex:
Couldn't you guys just take a dryer or heat gun and apply some heat on these spots(or around the whole phone) and just get clamps or hold down and see if the adhesive sticks together?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bsg411:
Your not alone....bothers me too. Its a design flaw in the way that huawei and htc designed the 6p and pixel phones. Becomes really noticeable when using double tap to wake feature.

---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

Whether that works or not....it principle !! You should not have to do that on a $1000 phone. They want to compete with iphone then build quality should be on par as well.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bagged00:
Mine hard too tell the gap because I have black but I can hear the ticking noise which lead me to hearing the slight raddle noise on the back glass at the top around the headphone jack
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] biggiestuff:
Isn't the ticking noise the camera parts moving when you tap it?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Stolly08:
Nothing on mine, but I have the black anyway, you'd rarely be able to see it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] yacchatta:
No, not really. because it is covered by the case, it also isn't bothering me. And because the pixel is not really water resistant, I don't care.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ysihaoy:
Yeah, I got the same issue as well. I posted in another thread and you can see the top right gap clearly. Sad
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] david.degraw54:
I have some gaps too. Not horrible and covered by my case but just knowing they're there is bothering me. Anyone receiving an RMA? Or if this not a huge issue?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Theused1123:
To me it is a big issue. We paid a premium price to receive a premium phone. I am disappointed to say the least.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] AndrasLOHF:
Nope, no issue.

People need to remember that every single thing ever made is going to have a margin of error for quality control and in except in certain cases most issues are blown way out of proportion by the internet. In short....stop obessessing about things that don't need to be obsessed about.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jackierobinson:
Except with every Apple product I've bought they've been flawless, and even if there was an issue like the one mentioned here, they would swap it out on the spot at an Apple store.

But hey Apple sucks right? So let's all pay Apple prices for Google hardware and accept imperfections.

Luckily my pixel doesn't have this issue.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] antigravity:
Funnily enough I had this exact problem with an iPhone 6. The display became slightly detached from the frame etc so every time I pressed the screen there was a small click and a slight bit of movement.

Apple did replace the phone, but with a refurbished model, not a new one.

I don't have any issues with my Pixel from what I can tell, I have the black version.

Sent from my Google Pixel
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] AndrasLOHF:
Thanks Antigravity.

Dude ALL phones have QC issues....PERIOD!!! All of everything you've ever bought in your entire life has a margin of error. Just because you may have never seen an issue does not mean it doesn't exist. As far as the Apple store comment goes, that is either a good thing or a bad thing. For me, that would be a bad thing. If I had this issue with the Pixel I'd much rather swipe in the setting menu and get sent a replacement using the built in support function. To drive to an Apple store would be over 80 miles round trip for the nearest one.

..and no Apple doesn't suck. They get more right than Google does on a lot of things.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] g00s3y:
This makes me so angry i'm going to return my pixel xl...

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Vasher1892:
I had it on the first one I picked up. Pushed it down, it stuck back down - but after a day or so, it popped back out again. The screen was coming out less than half a mm, but it was really noticable in certain lights, and once seen... cannot be unseen :/

I took it back and got it exchanged no questions asked. This one is much, much better but I can still feel a tiny bit of give when I press in the top right corner. Worried it'll get worse if the phone gets hot or something, but it's so small a fault right now I can live with it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 903tex:
Well you never get the first release anyway! Always stuck by that motto. But anyway your right it should be on par with Apple for the price of the xl.BUT one thing they ain't Apple and never will be.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Stevez48:
I think so, at least I have had that with other phones in the past. its the auto-focus not engaged if I remember correctly. Try this. Turn the camera on, and now tap it. it goes away. turn it off. it comes back. At least that is what happens on mine.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bsg411:
OMFG !!! you are right....ity went away when I opened the camera !! Crazy....but....iphone dosnt do it so neither should this phone for $1000!!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Isubbie:
ha damn now I won't be able to unsee this........
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] blazinazn:
I think if people spent the money to buy the phone, they have a right to b#$% about it.

Yes, there is always a margin for error but this one seems like it could get worse over time. And as that happens, dust will end up getting under the screen and who wants that? Not cool for a device most people will keep and use for more than a year or 2 that they paid almost 1K for...

I'm still waiting on mine but if mine has this defect, it's going back.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Gizmoe:
If you call that lucky LOL. Never even noticed it til now. Mine is not separating but I can tell the screen floats ever so slightly when pressed. I don't see it as an issue myself. If it had a waterproof rating I might be concerned. Either way google has been great with RMA's in the past. You got one year to exchange it should it get worse or cause issues. As soon as the stupid blue cases go out of "coming soon" status I'll be putting it in a case. Dropping one of these doesn't fair well from what I've seen.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Jacobk85:
Okay now I've tapped the heck out of my phone haha. Well I don't have the gap (XL black) but I do hear the rattle of what I think is the camera. My husband has the iPhone 6s and I tried it on his phone (he has had it for 2 months) and it makes the exact same noise even louder. I think his is the camera too, that's where the noise seems to be coming from. Gap seems bad if you have it but the rattle just seems like the camera so I'm not worried, but my husband thinks I'm crazy now. Haha

I just recently exchanged my pixel xl for a new one because the top right corner popped out like as if the adhesive gave way. It was collecting dust and dirt like hell. Looked so ****e.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] PixelXLOwner:
Sorry to bump, but did anyone get a version of the Pixel XL with no gap? I'm on my 3rd phone now and it has the same issue. I don't know whether to keep changing until I get a good one (Google support told me it shouldn't be there) but it's a lot of hassle to keep returning the phone and picking up a new one every couple of weeks.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] aholeinthewor1d:
Has anyone with the smaller pixel noticed this? To dark to check mine no but I just got a replacement the other day for other issues. If this is happening to mine it will go back in a heartbeat no questions asked. It's only going to get worse over time if it's just glued it. Never EVER was an iPhone fan.. I still don't like iOS at all. But I can get a completely free iPhone 7 through work if I want. Tempted to put up with it for a year. It has an amazing camera also and editing video in iMovie is great. Paying even $10 a month for a phone not much of an upgrade from my s5 that falls apart isn't worth it. Yea it's a little faster with a better camera but after using it for a week it's really not that special. Typing is HORRIBLE and no where near as responsive as my s5 screen. I type fast and try to type a number and it doesn't register. Have to pause and then tap it. Happens constantly.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] PixelXLOwner:
The Pixel XL that I have originally (I'm using it until I get a replacement that is good) has gaps all around the outside. I'm not sure if they were there before but they're pretty bad.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] PixelXLOwner:
Wow I guess I've been unlucky. That said it could be a problem with the first batch, I imagine they kept the first run as replacements for RMAs (The two I have got arrived within two days).

I'll see what google support say.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Dcox28:
Well I have been unlucky also. I got this phone almost a month ago from Google Store. When I got it I couldn't hear anyone on a call unless I toggled the speaker phone button on and off. Google said it was a defect so I chose to return the phone to them and replace it with a black Pixel XL with Verizon because I have an upgrade available. Google is letting me keep this phone until my new one arrives from Verizon. It just shipped today so hopefully there are no problems with it and hopefully it comes with November's build on it so I can still unlock the bootloader and root!

I have to wait for 2 more days to test it, but I'll bet the Pixel can rapid charge at least at 5v3a via QC3 accessories

EMMC Brickbug claims another i930x device. Unfortunately, all the partitions after a certain area are useless because some defects in a batch of EMMCs. i9300 has had it for some time, but i didn't know that i9305 could have a part of the faulty lot that kneeled the i9300. You may be lucky enough, depending in what country you live, to find and go to a very good smartphone repair shop and get the EMMC replaced by some people that actually know what they are doing. Or, if you have money, skills and time to spare, replace it yourself, but you'd need to take some precautions to not f it up. (i.e. place some thick metal piece over the modem to not heat it up, and to not apply too much temperature to the board to damage it.)

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] techie4life:
There seems to be one area right in the middle of my screen that forms a straight line across where my phone does not register touch correctly anymore. What i mean by this for example is in snapchat, if i try to make a straight line across my phone in this one area, the line always scribbles randomly around where my finger is moving. Anywhere else though, this isnt an issue. When i try and tap in this one band of screen, it registers multiple touches and i can never select menu items and it is really annoying. Is there any one else that has had this problem?

I know it's hardware related bc I switched multiple roms with the same issue.
