Super snappy! Any recommendations for tempered glass?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rkial:
Have had it for 2 months. Will most likely get the Pixel 3 in 10 months time. Price drop se kya karna hai? I wasnt going to wait 2 months for it anyway..

And fwiw, I sold my Sennheisers for 9k, so the price drop doesnt sting as much :p
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nikhil.agrawal:
Didn't get the vr but I'm happy with the phone. Yes the screen could have been better. Tempered are a pain with the curved edges and specially when the phone is not selling well. In Delhi you can get gadgetshieldz type of full body screen protectors for 200 bucks and I couldn't find one for pixel 2 xl.

Hi, Purchased pixel 2 xl yesterday and I have observed the same issue. Did you guys find any solution to this ? Is it present on all pixel 2 xl devices or do we have faulty ones ?

Lot of folks have the same issue

https://support.google.com/pixelphone/forum/AAAAb4-OgUs_U8JNT-lwXg/?hl=by

B2X( Google support ) in India are claiming that this is a known issue. They did not replace the phone when I raised a complaint. Hopefully either Google fixes this through software fix or provides a replacement. But first they need to acknowledge the issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] goti(0):

Are the newer manufactured pixel 2 xl having lesser blue shift? Saw a video on youtube stating that December 2017 ones are having no issue with display.

[MENTION=4536156]drtushar[/MENTION] I checked on that imei site and mine is 14oct i think and my friend just bought his pixel 2xl which is the latest manufacturerd and we compared devices and 100% identical
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] anmolbedi:
Infact this is true. Mine is 11-Nov manufactured and it has normal tint which all oled have. No excessive blue tint which I had witnessed in demo devices as well. Btw mine is Panda version.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] yadhu:
Same for me. 11th Nov manufactured. And normal blue tint. Panda Version.

Just the LED flicker issue in camera. Don't know if that'll be fixed or not.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] anmolbedi:
Probably in upcoming camera updates... Google is aware of this issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] srinivas2901:
If that was the case, at least they should acknowledge the issue. But there is no such message from Google. So I think replacement is the only option now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] drtushar:
Guys does it make any sense to buy pixel 2 xl. I have the pixel 2 with me and been using it for 2 months now.

With the flipkart independence sale there is an itch to buy pixel 2 xl and sell my pixel 2 :p
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
IMHO, given the set of phones that you have, it doesn't make sense at all. XL is tough to hold and operate single handedly as compared to N8 and 5t. Moreover, you're already enjoying the Infinity Display on 5t and N8 so XL also doesn't add any value here. I also avoided the XL just because of this reason.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] drtushar:

I have a Pixel 2 XL and since last 4 to 5 days my Chrome keeps crashing all the time. even when the app is not open (running in background i guess) i keep on getting pop up alert box that it has crashed.....i have tried to clear data and cache but that hasn't fixed the problem. One of my friend has a Pixel 2 and he is facing the same problem....is any one here facing this issue? or someone has a remedy to this?

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

as per Google they are aware of this issue but they have not accepted this as a fault and they are not replacing device due to this

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ----------

I think you need to ask how frequently you change your device. if you change it within 8 to 10 months then i would suggest that you go for 5T (since 6T is coming by 2nd Qtr) but if you plan to keep it for longer then i would suggest you on Pixel as you will always be the first to get the best and the latest from Google. Also one more which is important to me is water resistance which is there in Pixel but not in 5T and obviously the great camera and unlimited storage (since sd option is not there).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Prattham:

Can you guys recommend a good case for xl?

I am confused between spigen rugged armor and normal mtt cases available on amazon.in.

Anyone using spigen case? Is that very bulky.?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sachinkraj:
Rugged Armour

Rugged Armour is best. Not too bulky but its the best a phone can get. I have been using spigen rugged armour since years for different phones. Now for Pixel 2 XL since 2 months.

No problem at all.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] anmolbedi:
I would recommend Ringke Minimalistic case. Fantastic value for money.

How's battery life guys ? Specially people coming from note 8 here
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
I almost get the same battery mileage (5-6hrs SOT over total usage of 36-48hrs (Wifi(70%)+LTE (30%) on both but i have the Pixel 2(Walleye). XL should be able to give a little better mileage (7hrs+ SOT). OP 5/5t is the only device that i have used offlate that really shines in the battery dept. I can easily pull 9.5-11hrs SOT with the same usage pattern and cycle.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] numerouknow:
Spigen & Ringke have some very good cases both in terms of quality & price.

I have both Spigen Rugged Armor & Ringke Fusion Smoke Black for P2XL. They are not at all bulky and still offer very good protection. In addition, Ringke Fusion will let you show off your phone.

You just cannot compare Spigen/Ringke with other cheap brand cases.

IMHO, a 60-80k phone at least deserves a good branded/quality case. :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] eagle06:

Ringke Fusion Smoke Black case for P2XL. (Sorry, one of the worst pictures clicked with Pixel2. :p)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] numerouknow:
For people interested in Gadgetshieldz screen protectors: they work well with P2XL (and its curves). I ordered a matte finish protector to avoid smudges/finger prints and I'm loving it. And I dont see amy loss in brightness or color because of the matte finish. Once you've gotten used to this smudge free display, there's no going back to those clear protectors.

More importantly, Gadgetsheidz works perfectly with Spigen Rugged Armor case. But using it with Ringke Fusion was a little tricky. One needs to be very careful not to move the protector while pushing the phone into Fusion case. Once set properly, you wont have to worry about the protector coming off. Currently, I'm using my P2XL with Ringke Fusion case and Gadgetsheidz screen protector.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Prattham:

http://s.aliexpress.com/jYrERf6B?fromSns=Copy

Free shipping to India in about 2-3 weeks.

I got mine from U.S for around 1k thru a friend.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] darshanbangre:
Should I go for Ringke or spigen rugged armor or spigen liquid crystal?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
If you prefer thin and sleek cases than you can buy this (https://www.ebay.in/itm/For-google-...906535?hash=item2849539627:g:p0wAAOSwi0xaL7uM) or https://www.aliexpress.com/item/For...29bc-4498-ab3c-42b7edf79a42&priceBeautifyAB=1

Moreover, Ringke might be out of stock that's why it is sourcing it from the USA, hence showing you that price. When it is back in stock, it shouldn't be more than 1K.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
Did you trim the corners slightly?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] darshanbangre:
I am actually looking for a good quality case with better protection
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] numerouknow:
I've not used Spigen Liquid Crystal so can't comment on that part but Rugged Armor case is one of the best. I've been using them for a few years now. Very good all-around protection.

Ringke is equally good in that regard. I guess it all comes down to what you prefer. If you like to show your phones design/color, go for Ringke Fusion or if you like a blacked out look then go with Spigen. You won't be disappointed with either of these.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] darshanbangre:
Thanks... I agree with Rugged armor. My Nexus 6P is well protected... Maybe I will try Ringke.. the only downside with it is it might change its color over the period of time...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] numerouknow:
No not at all. I used it as it is.

After putting Gadgetsheidz protector on, I left the phone caseless the whole night just to be sure its fully dry n set in place so it doesn't move when I put the case back on. And it worked. :)

---------- Post added at 06:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 AM ----------

Last 2 Ringke cases I had were those clear ones and they did turn brown over time. That's why I got the smoke black version this time to see if it holds up any differently. Also, Ringe Fusion's back is a hard material which I'm pretty sure will not change color. And with the sides already being darker in color (smoke black), I think this might hold better than the older ones.?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] darshanbangre:
I am also planning for smock black.. But that is costing a bomb on amazon.. I ll probably order from aliexpress.. The pink color is available for 999rs in amazon though
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] numerouknow:
Yes AliExpress is a good deal if you can wait. On Amazon, 3.5k for a Ringke Fusion case is absurd.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mayankcse10:
Just wait if you can for a couple of days and it would be back in stock from the Ringke, the one that costs 3400 is an imported piece of the same.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] darshanbangre:
I might also have to but a tempered glass... I bought the phone at reliance digital and the store guy promised me a tempered glass free and said currently it was out of stock... now even after 3 weeks, he says it is out of stock !!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Prattham:
Looks nice

It covers the edges perfectly?

Its a plastic one right?

How was the installation if you applied it yourself?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] numerouknow:
Yes, I installed it myself. Its some kind of a flexible film/sheet. Installation is easy but it takes time as one needs to keep pressing the edges for a while until it sticks perfectly. Just check their installation videos before you start. And yes it covers the cuved edges too.

Well returned to Android after almost 2 years just to be greeted with the infamous LED flickering issue.

No flickering whatsoever under similar conditions on my iPhone though.

The funny thing is I cant reproduce these flickering with other apps like Instagram or via direct Youtube recording feature.

I think this can be fixed via a software update. I don't think this is a hardware issue because other apps are able to record just fine.

EDIT 1: Youtube point was wrong, after further testing I found that youtube actually redirects to Google camera app.

For few seconds, there was no flickering hence the wrong conclusion.

Guys please suggest a tempered glass for my pixel 2. I was waiting for the store guy to give it for free which he promised.. I already see a lot of scratches on the screen.. So I don't want to wait anymore..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] numerouknow:
I've not seen any good TG protectors for P2XL yet. Most options available (straight ones) just don't cover the whole screen, easily collect dust around the curved edges and look ugly.

Stuffcool has a full screen protector which I ordered a while ago. Their executive called me to confirm which case I use, told me its not compatible with Spigen/Ringke cases and got my order cancelled.

Rhinoshield has a curved TG protector but it's not edge-to-edge. The fact that its not edge-to-edge might make it compatible with most cases/bumpers. I haven't tried it though.

Brands like Skinomi and Qosea offer TG protectors but they have mixed reviews. Probably someone here who's used them can share feedback.

I found Gadgetsheidz to be a very good alternative. Its not TG but it offers enough protection from scratches.

I also got IQ Shield screen protectors (IMO, they are similar to Gadgetsheidz). I'm yet to test them.

Well I'll suggest looking at AliExpress... There is a full edge to edge tempered glass with full adhesive... A bit hard to apply but totally worth it...

There is a thread of the same in accessories section... And I have it ordered as well....
