[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mrhumble1:
These are assumptions, and could very likely be incorrect.

I have a Nexus 6P and I have my LED set to flash if the screen is on or off. The LED on the Pixel 2 XL could easily function the same way (both running Android and LightFlow). That being said, we still don't even know if there's a LED or not.

We just need to wait until someone has one in-hand and can verify.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
For me that's an LED. The ambient/proximity sensor is right above(2) or below(XL) the speaker grill. What other sensor could it be? Iris scanner they never made live? I can't think of any sensor Google has listed that would be.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Ayrow:
The Nexus 6 has an RGB LED, but it isn't activated out of the box.

You need to tweak it to get it to work.

There are lots of threads on how this was done.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] urtaza:
Someone confirmed a few pages back from a Google rep that there is a LED light.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
The problem with that someone also got the answer of no there isn't from another Google rep and that's why this discussion is still ongoing. Probably will until a reviewer shows one or people get the device.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] urtaza:
Oh gotcha, see how this turns out.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stinger4321:
Top right i see the notification light...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sgvjon:
With no intent of sounding like an a--, all I see is a circle cutout. I hope it does have a notification led, but I have my doubts about it being there. since when would they want a cutout just for an led light if it's under the glass there? I hope it is not there, it brings back horrible memories of the Nexus 7 notification light burn-in.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
Simple answer is the outer area of the screen is black. If they didn't cut it out it would block the notification. [emoji3]

I don't remember anything about burn in with my Nexus 7 notification light, but I sure as hell had fun with my Nexus 5 notification light being in the middle bottom. Kind of wish that is where they all would put it with the same type of LED.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stinger4321:
Nexus 7 burn-in... I have 2 of them.. 2012 and 2013
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sgvjon:
HAHAH i just realized that, sorry.

yeah it was pretty bad, the burn-in happened fairly quickly, i think couple months? not a big deal for the price of that tablet at the time. haha i actually have my 5 laying around here somewhere, i lent it to a friend to use and they just returned it back to me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
I think some people may have into that problem because yah the tablets were dirt cheap compared to the competition at the time. I guess I was one of the lucky ones that had both versions lasted me at least 2 years. My son killed one by taking a sword to it(plastic).

I used to have every Nexus device in a drawer, but when I moved out of our other house I gave them away except the 5X.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sgvjon:
Me too, only a couple Nexus devices I still keep.. but I regret selling the One, for nostalgic reasons. So ahead of it's time.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
I regretted getting rid of all of them. This one I didn't have a choice. A plastic sword now...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stinger4321:
Lol.. when we take trips the kids still use both of ours..the 2012 got slow.. reflashed and went back to full speed.. this was probably a year or so ago...

One person got his Pixel 2 XL not too long ago, and going to do an AMA on Reddit (I think tomorrow). I dropped the LED question and he confirmed that there is one! WOOOO!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bd177:
Sweet if true !!! :D
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] hpjc:
So let's wait for somebody to receive the smaller Pixel 2 :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
It's the same. If the location of the Pixel 2 XL is in the upper left there are photos with angles and lighting showing a LED in a similar location.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] hpjc:
You're talking about the video where you see some kind of a reflection? This is not enough to call it "confirmed" for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
The proximity/ambient is directly above the speaker Grill on the Pixel 2. Then what is the reflection supposed to be? Another sensor? Exactly what sensor is it supposed to be? If the Pixel XL has one in the same location you really think Google isn't going to put one in the same location? I mean even the Pixel had no variation to it's location of the LED on it. Do you really think Google is going to out a notification light on one device but not the other when everything else is exactly the same other than screen size?

If you look at the reflections of both devices they look exactly the same where the Pixel 2XL notification light is...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] hpjc:
It could still be the ambient light sensor. Pixel and Pixel XL have been both built by HTC so it's kind of obvious that they are pretty much the same. But Pixel 2 is made by HTC while Pixel 2 XL is manufactured by LG. Since the notification light isn't part of any specifications I see it as a subject that could differ from one to the other manufacturer.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
So Google is going to move the ambient/proximity sensor over in the far right if the device even if they have a 1/4" hole above the speaker grill which is a better location for that type of sensor.

Did we forget Google designed these phones themselves unlike the Nexus where manufacturers had designs and Google picked from. Google can design for more uniformity. Google could simply just use their plants to split workload so they don't have a problem keeping up with orders like they did with the Pixel and Pixel XL.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] hpjc:
All I said was that I don't see it confirmed for the smaller device if somebody found a LED in the XL. Why would they not mention the notification light in the specs if both devices have one? For some customers like me it's a argument to buy or not to buy it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
Answer why would Google put it in one and not the other if they designed both phones to be identical aside from screen size and even marketed it that way?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] hpjc:
This discussion won't lead to anything. Of course I can't answer that. We'll see next week.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
want to see something cute? The XL doesn't display the dot, but the regular one does. They both don't show where the ambient sensor is.

Nice, I saw it. I just opened another Support request at the german customer support. They sent me a E-Mail that they are going to contact the technical service and will inform me later.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Redrockzz:
Please come back to us, when you got these information.

I also talked to the german google support and they told me, that the Pixel 2 xl doesnt have a RBG Notification LED -.- ^^

But actually I am pretty sure it does have.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] hpjc:
For the Pixel 2 XL I see it as confirmed.

Of course I will tell you guys about the response as soon as I get it.

Did you also talk to a guy named Pascal? I opened some other requests recently and every time the guys name was Pascal :D
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
It's been confirmed that the XL does have on in the upper right of the device. However the guy doesn't know if it is RGB or not just yet. So sometimes it goes by how you ask the question.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] hpjc:
Got a answer to my support request just 5 minutes ago:

English: Hello ... , I'm glad to confirm that the Pixel 2 got a notification LED. Greetings ... Google Support
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mrhumble1:
CONFIRMED!!!

I found a review video on YouTube and got the reviewer to test using LightFlow. Here's his Tweet with the result:

https://twitter.com/GadgetDevo/status/918199105880494081

The light is white, but I can't imagine it would not be RGB. I am going to re-pre-order ASAP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] hophamson:
That looks more blue to me, so definitely RGB. I'm glad we're seeing more concrete information and details, rather than just going off of GS...sigh.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mrhumble1:
Yeah with all the conflicting info going around, I wasn't going to re-pre-order until I saw the light for myself. Now that we have it, I put my order in and might still get it in October. I lost my place in line when I cancelled my earlier pre-order, but waiting an extra week is fine because now I won't have to worry about this.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dratsablive:
One of the reasons I switched from my HTC One M9 after 9 months was the lack of an LED notification light. Maybe HTC just doesn't like them.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AndrasLOHF:
I still don't understand why Google puts these in phones and then refuses to put a customization setting. At the very least they could use an icon color as the LED color so every notification isn't white. The only app I've ever used that uses a custom color is Swipe for Facebook. I know there are apps to change color but I hate installing apps for things I believe should be system settings. It's one of the only things I miss from custom ROMs.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Yadao:
Got my Pixel 2 XL today. Can confirm RGB light is working with LightFlow Pro + LightFlow Legacy installed :D

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TokyoGuy:
I'm not sure if there is still confusion here or not, but all you have to do is turn on the LED via the Settings, Sounds and Notifications menu. It was one of the first things I did when setting up my phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jflippy1108:
LED LIGHT

The only LED light I could find on the pixel xl 2 is the incoming text messages and if you use an app like Whatsapp the LED light does flash. I would guess the 2 is the same as the XL but aren't sure.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] thacounty:
Yes, long press home, home settings, notification dots, blink light.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] calash:
Thank you. I did not know we had one. This worked for me, but for my test I also had to go into the settings in Inbox and tell it to pulse light. This has it flashing the light ever 20 seconds when I have a pending email.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wtherrell:
When I long-press home, all I get is Google assistant.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Prattham:

oh boy, same "NO LED" (even with an X-RAY and photos) debate as the nexus 9 , i smell it already.

there IS an LED. top right. i HAVE seen it, cant recall the situation, but it IS there.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Briankbl:
The Pixel 2 XL has the LED notification light. Use an app like Light Flow to customize the colors for different notifications. It's great!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mikulec:
Anybody here uses Light Manager for controling the LED?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Yep, works like a charm :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mikulec:
I have a problem with some apps not showing the right color. Did you changed anything in settings?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Didn't really change anything. I just set the color I like, and call it good. I imagine that our notification led light has some spectrum limitations, thus causing inaccurate color rendering. Which doesn't bother me. As long as it works, I'm good :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mikulec:
The problem for me is that in the test, the light blinks correctly but when I receive the notification the color is different. I will try to tinker with the app more, maybe reset the settings and start from scratch.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] buschris:
Wrong. I had a flashing white light in the upper right corner with a notification.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] beezar:
Which app? I haven had any problems, all apps I've set work as set
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] matekaneve:
Is there any option to set the led to flash for couple of minutes if I receive a notification? For me it only blinks once and that's it.. I mean I think the purpose of switching this on would be to have a blinking led for whatever minutes to notify people, "hey human, there is a message from your wife, you're better answering!!"
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wolfu11:
I had that problem too I updated to the latest messages app on apkmirror mirror and it's works again
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] amartolos:
In my experience the Pixel 2 XL notification LED light on Android Pie is disabled by default. To enable it, go to Settings and then search for "blink light". Make sure it's enabled. But even then, it flashes about once per 5s which really makes it completely useless.

I suggest, if you want to customize your LED light, use something like the Light Flow Legacy app. It walks you through the settings that you'll need to enable, and then allows you to customize the LED settings per-app such as colour, how often it blinks, and how long it blinks for, etc.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Mikulec:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bin Jon:
Hello.

I have LG Volt LS740 running ZV6 firmware. I have rooted with KingRoot. I want to know how to install TWRP on it. I want TWRP to install ROM with AudioFX on it, and get remote for my Zenith television.

So, I have flashed back to ZV3. I have used towelroot and installed SuperSu. I have also installed Viper4Android, and the settings are even more intriguing than AudioFX. The only thing I need is a remote application, because the Quick Remote doesn't have Zenith on it. Can I get an extended remote from ZV3 or do I need a new ROM? If I need newer ROM, preferably Marshmallow and above, how would I go about TWRP?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenbt:
Hey All

I currently have an ageing Nexus 6p and looking at getting a Pixel 2, Im considering going root free for the first time since the Galaxy Nexus. Has anyone left root and what are your experiences and is there a way to restore app data on a stock phone without root?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pickupman66:
I was forced into going to no root on my old GS5. HATED IT. Like seriously it was dreadful. My use of root is for just a few main reasons:

1. Ad blocking with Adaway.

2. enable tethering on legacy Unlimited plan (build.prop edit)

3. App Control (no bloat, no crapola)

My Current ROOT apps are:

1. File Explorer

2. Adaway

3. greenify (magisk)

4. Magisk

5. Custom Navbar (I like my back button on the right side because I am right handed)

I stopped flashing custom roms back in the GS3 days and have just enjoyed a few system mods ever since. for the last few months of the GS5, it was completely dreadful. I personally will never own another Samsung AT&T device.

Google now does a good job of app restoration but it does not offer the data restore like TiBu does.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sethukrishnan:
Have rooted every device since the beginning of time!!!

No compromise without

2.Tasker (of course!)

3.Greenify

4.EX kernel app

5.lucky patcher(yeah but not for crazy stuff I've purchased these paid apps and never will do that to a developer)

6.kernel Tasker

I don't use custom ROM because stock is enough but with a powerful kernel we r free to go with no lags

Love my 6P I could say Google's new pixel 2 xl that panda coloured one was inspired from Nexus 6p design..(just look at the back sides) they look gorgeous

[Asus Zenfone Selfie Questions & Answers] BrickedGuy:
Hello Guys,

Sorry that I post this here, but I don´t know where to put this else.

I have an Asus Zenfone Selfie ZD551KL and wanted to root it. It was still on Android Lollipop and I tried it according to a guide for Android Marshmellow. As expected it didn´t work. So I tried to flash a prerooted system with adb. That didn´t work either but now I don´t have a running system left, just access to fastboot and recovery. Recovery.img (version WW_user_1.15.40.1582_20160510) and boot.img got flashed in the process, system.img failed "FAILED (remote:size too large)". Even with the command -S300 (don´t know which parameters to use, think those should be right), it didn´t work.

So I tried to flash the original ROM from asus. I tried the newest version "UL-Z00T-WW-21.40.0.1923-user.zip" and an older version according to the recovery version "UL-Z00T-WW-51.15.40.1582-user.zip". Both didn´t work, neither with adb sideload, nor with updating from SDCard. When I try to flash the newer version, I get the message "patching system image unconditionally" and in the DOSBox the flash process just stucks at 83% every time (faced same procedure with other ROM´s too).

The older version gives me another errormessage "System update fails with status 0, fota return code 409"

I wiped data and cache partition before every try.

Sadly Bootloader isn´t unlocked and I cant unlock it with ADB, as every command, which should unlock it, doesn´t work.

Every firmware I tried was WW SKU, as recovery log says my phone is WW, when I try to flash a ROM. But I bought this smartphone from china, so should I try CN ROM? Asus Website just has Lollipop CN ROM and I don´t think I could find a way to root the phone, when needing to flash CN ROM. But Root is what I need on it....

I hope you are able to read the text. English is a foreign language to me.

I would appreciate help alot!

Greetings
