[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] xTristinx:
Display over c is not yet confirmed but i doubt it. They may lean on chromecast wireless. I dont know how you are power using a samsung device because you have no root! This phone is a must for power users. Not to mention there are hardly any manufactures allowing for an unlockable bootloader, with the google lineup being the last of them at this point not looking at some phones international models.

Not to mention I have yet to see a phone match the camera quality of the lg (g4,g5,v10,v20) lineup, the manual shooting on those phones are GODLIKE. So if you havent maybe give the v20 a look but again its bootloader is going to be locked
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] EternalSeekerX:
Okay!! Most sites say the pixel lacks usb host mode (different from otg). Also so the whole halo effect is due to flash?

Nice, I was worried because of lower capacity.

I did look at the V20, the non amoled coupled with lense cracking and it falling behind in speed test really disappointed me. Oh and the v20 lacks usb host to, I use usb host for usb devices such as external sensors and for usb amps. Also I usually root after my warranty is done, and most of my apps dont require root, even for gnuroot (despite its name :p)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] EternalSeekerX:
I stand corrected, seems the pixel does have usb host mode, please ignore that.

So I am actually considering the pixel over the s7 edge. Guys anything I should keep in mind or expect? My pure android (i.e. Google) experience are from my galaxy nexus and nexus .
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 318sugarhill:
I will say that my first days into Android I loved the HTC skins, and always hated pure vanilla android. Always ran roms that were based off stock skins vs vanilla Android. That started to change when I got a Samsung S4. As Android progressed I found manufacturers custom stuff was more gimmicks than actually useful. Nexus device and now pixel XL I won't do anything except android straight from Google. You will appreciate it. And I'm really digging Google Assistant. Battery life is good, radio is far better than the nexus or the S7(my wife has an s7). If your are looking at the S7 edge than definitely going with the Pixel XL for comparison.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] RascalDoc:
Can't give you numbers. Sorry. My device history is close, but I started with an EVO. I've had two note 7's and a 7Edge in the last 5 weeks. Now the pixel Xl. I love it!!! I rooted, years ago, for battery life primarily, and this phones battery life smokes them all.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] neyenlives:
The only thing I couldn't deal with that I thought I could, coming from the Note 7 to Pixel XL was the rear fingerprint reader. I don't keep my phone in my hand or pocket much. It's usually sitting on my desk being used as a music streaming device, so I need to get to the screen many times a day to check notifications, change songs, etc.... I am connected to our corporate email server which forces a security policy that forces lockscreen settings and such that I can't change. Having to enter a 5 digit code to unlock the device many times a day got really old after a week.... or having to pick the darn thing up over and over just to flip it over to use the print scanner and back over to use it.... There's no way I can deal with that for 2 years so I returned it and am currently ordering the S7 Edge. It will hold me over until the Note 8.

Everything else about the Pixel XL was fantastic. I gave it a week, I loved it at first, day after day that dang fingerprint scanner annoyed me.... it got to where I was using one hand to tilt it over at a 45 degree angle and sticking my finger under it to unlock it.... and then lay it back down. Completely ridiculous that this, or a 5 digit unlock code, or picking it up are my only options. With my Note 7 I could simply press the home button with my finger and it read it at the same time. Boom. Unlocked and ready to use without even looking at it.... that one simple functional detail made all the difference for me.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] EternalSeekerX:
Well between your wife S7 and the pixel, what differences are standing out in terms of software features? I mean touchwiz isnt bad but, enh.

Well between the N7/S7E and the pixel, what things have improved? Whats your use case? Is it similar to mine? Its a plus to be able to root but I usually root at the end of the product cycle, most of my apps play nice with Android and don't need root while still supplying performance.

Between the Pixel XL and the S7 edge baring the finger print scanner location, hows performance?

Also I have two more questions for anyone:

-Does the pixel work with ps3/ps4/xbox one controllers via otg? (I wanna use it for emulators on the go)?

-Is the SD 821 performing at peak frequency or does the phone thermal throttle hard like samsung phones? (All my samsungs ran warm to hot, i just expect this from the samsung phones I have used, including my galaxy nexus)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Zeroflucks:
Sorry, but i have a question for you. You said "nerfed battery" on your Note 7. Not quite understanding what you mean by "nerfed battery". Like a downgraded battery? Sorry, noob question i'm sure.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] EternalSeekerX:
Nerfed meaning after samsung pushed the 60% battery capacity.

Sorry for the confusion!

Actually I haven't rooted it yet and so far so good. Battery life has improved tremendously and I'm not sure I can speak to my usage compared to yours. That's pretty subjective. The fingerprint scanner is is nice. The battery charges Superfast which is nice. With the Note 3 I carried two spare batteries and with this phone I might look for a wall plug once a day and that's generally very late in the day. Sorry I couldn't give you more specifics but I hope this helps. The camera seems to be much faster also and the photos better quality. The assistant works well. If you decide to keep your Note 7 I've got a couple Chargers and cases that I no longer have use for. LOL
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] neyenlives:
My Note 7 still charges to 100%...

---------- Post added at 08:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------

I don't have the S7 Edge in hand yet so I can't honestly say. But for me the S7 Edge will be good enough for 11 months... the Pixel is a fantastic device other than the rear fingerprint scanner in my opinion.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] EternalSeekerX:
Is that your original or replaced note 7? Anyway i bought an s7 edge since the Samsung store gave me a 100 dollar off.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] Hitsuji666:
Purchasing the ink refils directly from Lenovo seems rather expensive at 3 refils for EUR10. After some quick searching I came accross these: http://autopointinc.com/ministar-ink-refill.html which appear to be the same refils from the original manufacturer at 5 refils for $5 and a choice of colours.

EDIT: I'll add that I have purchased and tested them to ensure they do in fact work.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] brainyark:
Thanks for letting us know! I read that you can use any refill with the pen, and the digitizer will work - I'm looking for rollerballs, and I'll report back if I find any.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] rudedog830:
Anyone found a cheaper compatible stylus
[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] Hitsuji666:
The Wacom Bamboo Spark uses the same tech AFAIK. Sol I would assume the stylus pen for that is compatible.

[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] coredump:
I bought a pack of 100 for less than $9 on AliExpress (http://s.aliexpress.com/v6j2a6fa) . Sadly, they only seem to have blue or black. The refill works perfectly. As with all things AliExpress, you'll have a bit of wait until they arrive. Shipping time was 2 weeks to Germany.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] heldc:
Apparently 67mm is a pretty standard multipen refill size (these are 68mm), and refills that look as if they might work can be found at http://www.cultpens.com/c/q/explore/product-type/refills/d1-multipen-refills and https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=node=1069832&field-keywords=d1

Edit-Yup, confirmed with a mini-pen I've got that uses a D1. We wanna look for D1 refills. Jet pens also has lots of options, including Gel. http://www.jetpens.com/search?q=d1

I've ordered some purple ones. http://www.jetpens.com/Monteverde-Soft-Roll-Ballpoint-Pen-Refill-D1-0.7-mm-Purple-Pack-of-4/pd/7802

Edited Edit-The D1 refill I have doesn't work when writing on the book pad. It picks up every gesture of the pen, not just what you actually write. OP, did you have this problem with your non-lenovo refills?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] coredump:
Not the OP, but my refills (exactly 67 mm) work when writing on the book pad. Could the extra mm be causing the issue?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] west0ne:
I bought some standard D1 refills from Amazon and they worked fine with the pen and pad. A lot cheaper than the Lenovo refills and are also readily available from high street stores.

The Samsung Note 4 stylus also works with the digitiser pad, the button even works on compatible apps.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] heldc:
I hadn't even *THOUGHT* about trying my old Note styluses on the yogabook! Good info!
[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] genericname123:
I've found the same problem. I ordered one of these Uni Jetstream cartridges, and it ceases to detect pen distance and pressure when you put one of these in. It acts the same as if there were no nib in it -- it will start tracking the pen and 'writing' even when you are off the paper.

I'm guessing the EMR system doesn't work with the conductivity of that specific refill, or something.

I'm on a quest to find a refill that writes better than the original nibs. Has anyone found any gel refills that work with the digitiser?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] McShed:
Firstly, apologies, I can't post URLs as I don't have enough posts.

I found this thread after trying some cheap refills off amazon - and like others, found they didn't work properly on the digitizer with the same problem of light lines appearing even when the stylus was not in contact with the digitizer.

I came to the conclusion that the metal composition of the refill was the problem - if you hold something metal (in my case a small nail) next to the tip of a stylus with a genuine refill, then it messes up the digitizer sensitivity. This would make sense as different metals will interact with electromagnetic fields differently and the EM of EMR stands for ElectroMagnetic.

Checking out refills for the Bamboo Spark pen mentioned previously I found them for sale at Misco dot uk.

The interesting line at the end is "The unique brass casing is essential to the use of Spark, as it helps the communication between the pen and the sensor board for optimal performance." which backs up my thinking.

I have found a supplier in Switzerland (Starminen dot ch) and have ordered some. I will update this thread when they arrive.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, the refills I ordered are only €1.19 for 5 plus postage - came to €5 for 2 packs plus postage to the UK.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] heldc:
I think this is the URL you probably meant to post. http://www.starminen.ch/product_info.php?products_id=26
[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] McShed:
You are 100% correct. Thank you.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] McShed:
Refills arrived quickly (about 4 days).

They work perfectly with the digitizer.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] hajkan:
Do you have a link to the store front?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] west0ne:
These are the refills I bought, the price has increased since I bought them. I got the same refills from a local Rymans for even less (I'm in the UK), again they were just a generic D1 refill.

[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] murrayanderson:
Tested ok with Lenovo Pen

Thanks coredump I took the plunge and bough the pack of 100 in black as well for $8.86 from Ali Express including shipping to the UK. Arrived in about 15 days and they work perfectly with the Yoga Book transcriber.

A little bit inky compare to the Lenovo ones i.e. when writing a few sentences there may be a tiny bit of extra ink so need to be careful not to drag my hand through it and smudge it. However for the price I'm delighted. I figure all things being equal that those Pen refills should see me through a few happy years with the yoga book.

YOU'RE AMAZING!!! I purchased that and I am going away for the winter holidays, however, it will be here when I come back and I will update you on how they fit.

ALSO, what do you think of homemade or alternative pad paper? Thank you!
[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] coredump:
Sorry I'm so late in getting back to you. I hope you like the refills. As for paper, I ended up making my own in Inkscape and cutting them to size with a paper cutter. This might not be an option if you don't have a paper cutter at hand. I would be happy to provide you with the svg files or convert them to pdf if you want to give it a try.

hi, I need to buy the pen: Lenovo Active Pen II, do you have a recommendation?,

thanks for your post!!!, i bought the refills !!!, now, I waiting to arrive!!
[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] Emmbego:
What apps are you talking about? And, what function does the button offers on those apps?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] west0ne:
I've used Rage Art and Autodesk Sketchbook. Apps will be setup differently but you can use the button instead of tapping on the pad to select items or hold down for actions such as erase.

It would probably be a case of trial and error with every app you want to use.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] Garyyyy:
how did it go? did they work properly?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Accessories] Akibalo:
when it came to the papers i first tried to find the original to buy but it costs way to much so i ended up buying just normal plain standar bundles of A5 size paper like theese and then i just used a normal paper punch to mke holes at the top to fit the pins on the pad.

Example:

https://www.skovdekontorscenter.se/...de-block/limmat-block-bantex-a5-linjerat.html

(page is in Swedish but basically 5 pads with 100 pages each for aprox 1 Euro plus freight or just go down to any office supply shops and buy dirt cheap of the counter)

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] EternalSeekerX:
Dear XDA,

So for deciding on which phone I want to get to replace my note 7, i decided to do a bit of research, here is some background:

So my device history is as followed: Acer Liquid --> Galaxy Nexus --> Galaxy Note 3 --> Galaxy Note 7.

My usage is as followed:

-Used the phone for calling,texting,social media, etc.

-Media consumption using a 1440p screen for youtube, netflix, and some native HDR contant, music using lossless files with poweramp and music streaming with spotify

-Heavy 3D games, emulators, and pokemon Go, etc.

-Using hpc applications, loading compute payloads using otg, gnuroot to run workstation applications (programming, scripts, sensor data, machine vision, etc.); Use for on the go work but mostly a side/independant work

-Using drafting application on native andriod and linux (part of the previous point)

-Used fingerprint and iris scanner, SD card encryption, phone encryption during start up, secure folder, etc.

-Used all samsung features

-Listen to music using a 3.5mm jack at home and bt headphones on the go/gym

-Taking pictures, videos, using slow mo (editing them to)

-etc.

So, to summarize : I love media consumption and media capture with the phone, I use every feature my Note 7 has and I would love to use newer features to. Battery life should be well and I love expandable storage. I use my phone for emulators, Pokemon Go, other high graphic (for a phone that is) game, spotify, data storage and transfer (for my work files and such), and I do use some "High Performance" application on the phone such as Autocad, Matlab , gnuroot Debian and other analysis software and even computing by uploading payloads via usb otg (as a hobby and sometimes to complete work on the go). I also love using root access (but if I can get most root features without rooting the phone it be great). With all that, I also use the phone like any other person such as for social media, phone calls (omg I know :P), test messaging etc.

For the future: I would use Android wear/samsung gear s3, wireless charging, etc.

So currently on my note 7 I am getting a sot of 5h and 54 min (so ~6hrs on my nerfed battery, this was at 3% left) Link: https://imgur.com/gallery/bfYCO

And my Antutu score is 141851 Link: http://imgur.com/wMPXRAK

So my questions for you LG V20 owners (and for people that went to LG v20 from the N7): How is the SOT? Can I get 6 hours easily with heavy use? How is standby time? How is its raw performance for my special use case? Hows benchmarks? Also is the usb-c a 3.0 or 2.0? Transfer speed and communication via usb matter for faster otg workloads so thats why I asked, i believe my note 3 was a 3.0 and the note 7 was a 3.0 to. Does LG have mhl or display port over usb-c? Also what is this camera glass breaking deal? Is it something i should worry about?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] DLovo313:
Most of those technical questions you can research on your own but coming from a Note7 myself and having always used Samsung products I couldn't be any happier with the switch. The only thing the Note7 has over the V20 is the spen, being water resistant, & looks. I'm glad I switched, plus with the included promotions you can't go wrong with this phone.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] leyvatron:
-Social media - great phone

- 1440p videos - Don't understand why on a small screen, but the display on the LG is inferior compared to Samsung displays.

- I don't do heavy gaming, but my nes emulator, clash royale, clash of clans, and a few other games run smooth.

- I don't use the v20 for work applications. I have a surface pro that I use.

- Fingerprint scanner is awesome and fast, no iris, everything else is there.

- Not a Samsung phone. You want Samsung features, get a Samsung phone.

- 3.5 mm with audio improvements

- Great camera and video software

- Android wear works fine, wireless charging should be coming out in the future.

Don't expect this phone to be the same as the Note 7. They have different cameras, features, dimensions, battery sizes, etc.....

Easy 6 hours of SOT on the Note 7? I would get under 4 hours, and that was after replacing it a few times. Different apps, different use, different battery.

Stand by time is AMAZING, and thats with the second display always on.

Phone is fast and fluid, and thats all I care about. I don't care how high my benchmark scores are and how fast it opened a gaming app by .03 seconds faster than the google pixel phone.

I thinks its a usb c 3.0.

Not sure, you would have to google for those accessories. You can miracast the phone screen or use other apps in the market to screencast the v20 with hdmi (chromecast).

Note 7 is made of glass, didn't that scare you? Every phone breaks. By all these questions you are asking, I feel you take good care of your phones, so I wouldn't worry about the camera breaking.

----------------------------------

Reasons not to get a LG V20:

-Expect it to be a Note 7 with Samsung features.

-Design is kinda ugly compared to the Note 7. BUT, I hated the s7 edge ergonomics.

-No LED

-Display is not better than the Note 7 or s7 edge

-No wireless charging, yet

-No samsung pay

-Not many themes

-No waterproof

-Big phablet, much bigger than most phones

Reasons to get the LG V20:

-Nougat - fast and fluid

-Phablet screen size is comfortable to text or play games

- Phone feels durable and not like fragile glass. I was afraid to let someone hold my Note 7

-2nd screen is a nice feature. Better than Samsung's always on display. The s7 edge AOD was half baked and I hated it. Note 7 was good due to ALL 3rd party notifications.

-Camera and video software is beautiful.

-Stand by time is impressive.

- Removable battery and sdcard is nice

-Fingerprint scanner is faster and more accurate (fast like the nexus 6p)

-Much better audio recording (3 mics) and quad dac 3.5mm for listening to music

- Charges extremely fast

Hope that helps.

Short on time, but thats what I came up with.

Ask away if you have any questions.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] EternalSeekerX:
Yeah I am in Canada, but looks like Wind Mobile will get me the headphone to. So the non-amoled screen doesn't bother you as much? Also does the phone slow down like the G4?

Well themes can be had via third party launchers, but is LG UX really as cartoony as the G4? Also benchmarks aren't as important to me but its indicative of how far i can push the SOC. I do all my work on a phablet as I don't need to carry a phone and tablet. I thought the v20 since in Canada its almost the same price as the S7 edge but the V20 is new. So it is usb 3.0 not bad at all! Is the quad dac really as good as they say? Also how is low light photography on the phone? Any crashes or random boots? LG is notorious for that since the G3 era?

That is good to know, so far people giving it positive reviews, accept for r/android.

Really? Can you post screenshots? I saw on here (link:http://www.phonearena.com/phones/LG-V20_id10202/benchmarks) that it gets lower than that, lower than the pixel. Well the pixel results are exactly what I got in the store, but my note 7 result far exceeds what they got, so I am not doubting you, just wanna screenshots =D. Also maybe its a device to device case. When did you run it? Can you run geek bench? Want to know its single and multi-score so I can compare to the exynos 8890, if ya don't mind =D

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ic3mix:
Hey all, recently broke my n6p so had to go back to to the nexus 5. However, my nexus 5 doesn't want to work. It's stuck on that continuous loop of wiping. It reboots after a while and does the same wiping stuff. Left it for about 12 hours and no luck. I can boot to the bootloader but it also has problems, when I unlock the bootloader and reboot, it goes to the wiping screen and when I go back to the bootloader, its locked again. Can't seem to boot to recovery either, it starts wiping after I select recovery (installed TWRP and CWM but no luck) BUT, nexus root toolkit manages to boot TWRP temporarily to run the OpenRecoveryScript. I tried using the boarddiag app to diagnose the problem but it says " partition.txt doesn't exist" when I try to pull boot.img.
