If you read further down this reddit post, you'll see someone who chatted with a supervisor of a Google rep. The supervisor confirmed that no hardware revisions have been made. Sorry guys :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sdelcegno:
Lol people actually think hardware changed are made and implemented in a week?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] humdrum2009:
If I don't compare it to the useless videos on YouTube, my phone is great because I have ever used.

Even impressed my iPhone friends

With the pure speed of this Pixel XL 2.

MY brother just switched to Verizon and got one, just because of the camera.

And I would love to add more members to my Facebook cell phone photo group if anyone is interested.

We post pics from any and all cell phones.

Android or iOS, just remember to keep it rated G lol.

Just post a pic and list what phone you are using.

Let's have some fun with these devices.

PM for info please

I don't know... I have no problem with the 2 XL display. I had enabled sRGB long ago on my 6P.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] loudog3114:
So, the washed out colors your seeing are true to life colors vs what other manufacturers do to "spruce things up" a bit. If you take a picture with the pixel xl 2, and open the picture on the xl 2 - the colors will match much more closely to real life than the pixel 1 or most other smartphones. With that said... is that a good thing? Sure, for pictures. But it really just makes everything else look like ****. I wish they would have given an option to turn on sRGB rather than leaving it on by default.

Now, with all THAT said, I have grown to live with it... and even appreciate it a bit. Yes, most other phones look more vibrant, but the vibrance is faked. The pixel 2 attempts to make images look real to life.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] a.demarco:
Why post something like this? Not everyone is in the computer field, or knows how long things like this take. I am one of them. I would also think that a company as large as Google, with all their resources, could have hardware fixes in a day, let alone a week. Obviously I would be wrong.

I am a union plumber/pipe welder. I work in hospitals, nuke plants, clean facilities, oil refineries, etc... I bet you can't tell me how long it takes to weld a joint on a 6" ss pipe, can you? But the answer is common knowledge to me, because I do it so much, but you would have no idea. You probably don't even know what welding certs you need to step foot in a nuke plant to weld. See what I am getting at?

Don't look down on people who don't know as much as you do, because everyone has different skillsets.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sdelcegno:
The issue is the problem has to analyzed. Is this hardware or software problem? Is the problem design defect engineers will have to analyze it. Was it a manufacturing defect was it bad supply of parts to lg? Once the problem is found how can it be solved. A redesigned part by engineers? Or perhaps adjustment in manufacturing or QA testing at the plant. Once that has been figured out how to we create a process to fix this in bulk also has to be figured out testing phase on new parts to make sure they don't have issues. Then how do they handle the fixes to old customers. It's a long process in fact sometimes it's not worth doing as the new model pixel 3 will be out before it can be done. It really depends on the issues. If it's a bad design of oled in general I doubt it will be fixed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Dalamar686:
I can't believe people are ****ting on the XL screen for having (presumably, none of the reviewers ****ting on it even tried to calibrate any devices tested) accurate colors...

Maybe these buffoons should take an art class and learn about calibration and profiling.

100% of all web content, games, etc are all sRGB and probably will be for another 20 years even though wide gamut is now common unlike in the past.

The stock color setting on your TV is ****. The stock color settings on 99% of phones is ****. Oversaturated color is not accurate and it's hideous.

If you want inaccurate neon colors, configure your device to be inaccurate on your own damn terms and time, not everyone else's out of sheer ignorance. No self respecting device seller will set their devices to be so inaccurate by default.

Pretty much all screens with a wide gamut backlight are also inaccurate as all hell without an sRGB emulation mode, as well. Most programs and 99%+ of games don't support color profiling.

As a side note, I hope LG dies. Terrible, dishonest company at least as far as screens and warranties go and of course they set their tvs to the most inaccurate default settings possible.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sdelcegno:
There should simply be more color settings. I don't mind srgb but I prefer more saturated.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Pappy35:
I don't know anything about screen color calibration (I am an aerospace engineer so I do consider myself to be a techie though). I do know that I see bright red things (cars, buildings, etc.) everyday. I presume you have too? I can tell you that there is nothing bright red on this screen. So, by definition, accurate color reproduction is different than the ability to actually display any particular color.

Whatever the screen technology is that is being used, it is unable to reproduce the entire range of color perceptible by the human eye. I would say it's calibrated (or limited) by Google to be more 'natural' but it's not more capable. Interesting though that MkBHD said in his recently released review that the hardware is capable of displaying the entire color gamut so perhaps a software tweak by Google will permit both a more natural and fuller range color gamut.

I'll buy one when they do that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Dalamar686:
That's the thing though: you are viewing sRGB content.

sRGB by definition is an exceptionally narrow color space that represents a small fragment of what the eye can perceive.

Shifting sRGB colors isn't really improving anything. It's just shifting the colors. Programs need to support profiling (hint: very few do), the OS needs to support it, there needs to be a profile for the screen in the first place, colors degrade quickly and unevenly on OLED, etc..

Until such point that sRGB dies and DCI-P3 is both industry and web standard, and all OLEDs or backlights and monitor processing support it there's no point fussing over it. Default should be srgb unless google wants to implement some manner of systemwide color management (it's not simple, and seeing how nothing has changed in 20+ years might be impossible).

Unless of course DCI-P3 becomes the standard, which again is also unlikely. It would require that all the trash screens on the market suddenly vanish out of existence, when indeed at least 60^% of what's being manufactured can't even touch that color space.

Hell, hdmi 2.0 can't even put out 10 or 12 bit color @ 60 fps on a 4k screen, only 30 fps due to bandwidth limitation!!! (again FACK lg for not putting displayport on the 2017 oled tvs, hdmi is, was, always will be terminal cancer)

Now go back to complaining about your non-matter. Probably from a 6 bit TN or VA screen, lol...

Edit: and if you want to get more complicated yet, we would have to visit a discussion of the camera: what color space is it using and does it attach a color profile to captured images?

I quite honestly doubt a phone camera is going to be capturing wide gamut images. I don't know much on this subject, though. My assumption would again be sRGB since that is the (unfortunate) industry standard and only pro photographers are likely to require better. The Pixels are not really suited for pros as they are fully automatic and generally intended for laymen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Heisenberg420:
If the google rep is quoted as saying "only updated units are leaving the factory" it could mean anything. Google doesn't seem to keep a ton of stock on hand and they could be running secondary QC on reported defects before they leave the factory. It certainly doesn't imply they've fixed their manufacturing problem.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jrharvey:
I personally like the SRGB color space. I think the colors look good compared to my first google pixel xl. I was disappointed by the viewing angle but you really have to turn it to see the discoloration. I think the whole screen thing is getting waaaaaay overblown. Its one of the best displays Ive seen with the exception of any of the new samsungs. I compared it to the iphone 8 and I like the pixel 2 better. I wish the viewing angle was better but hell its not that big of a deal for me personally.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Haz3:
It's got my xl2 today and I am entirely pleased with it. Now granted it hasn't had to time get burn in but everyone gripe I've heard about the screen I'm not experiencing at all. As long as the screen doesn't burn in the next 14 days I'm definitely keeping this phone?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] brooklynchildxbc:
i plan on rooting so color saturation and burn in shouldn't be a issue with pie control and color changer pro. As far as the blue tint i checked it out at the verizon store wasn't that bad.

I got mine today. The blue shift is very noticeable and annoying.. Great phone otherwise. I am returning mine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] keithleger:
I'm just curious. How is it so annoying that you have to return it? I have one and yes, I slightly notice it when I turn my phone at a drastic angle and am looking for it. But when do you use your phone at an angle like that? Or often enough that it is a deal breaker? I just don't get it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] hammer7t:
I know, I know. I will use it for a few days and see if I can get used to it. Initial impression so far is that it is distracting.:)

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Notchr302:
Don't think about it. Lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] :
I've been comparing My new Pixel 2 XL's screen to my original Pixel XL's screen, as well as assessing the 2 XL's overall screen quality. This is what I've learned.

I can attest to the blue color shift. The shift also occurs on my original XL, but the 2 XL's shift is more prominent (brighter blue hue at smaller viewing angles).

As for the grain, it hardly occurs at extremely low brightness levels (0-20%). You have to really look hard to see it. The lowest levels are so dark it'd be hard to see the screen, let alone any grain. I have worse grain issues on my LG Watch Sport, and even that screen I have to get up close and really pixel peep to see it.

I've only had the phone a day, so it's a bit early to tell on ghosting/burning. As for right now, I have zero burn-in or ghosting to speak of.

The color vibrancy of the 2 XL's screen is noticeably less saturated compared to the original XL's screen. It didn't seem as desaturated on its own until I compared it to my XL and the LG V30. The colors are more true to life, however, especially when comparing photos to real life. I noticed a very slim difference when toggling the "Vivid colors" option. If Google provides a way to force enable a systemwide 100% DCI-P3 color profile, I'll probably stick to the sRGB profile (although I might change my mind upon seeing it).

TL;DR, the Pixel 2 XL's screen is totally not a deal breaker. I wish Google had included a wide color gamut option upon release, I wish the viewing angles exhibited less blue shift, and I wish the grain was as nonexistent as on Samsung panels. However, the screen is still fantastic! If Google releases a wide color gamut profile, the screen easily would look more like a Samsung panel. Either way, the screen is still great and I'll be keeping this amazing phone! I'll come back to update about ghosting in about 1-2 weeks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] apallohadas:
Agreed. I have to tilt my phone at a goofy angle to notice the shift. Turning off Vivid colors makes a slight difference, but either way the phone is still pretty outstanding.

My only issue is with a single game that will no longer play :D
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Dalamar686:
Nevermind blue screen shift from angles, my XL looks straight up 7200k+... besides the overly blue tint of 7200k+ color is accurate though. NO qc at all, 7200k is not acceptable esp considering android and linux have between no and very poor color profiling support (android being worse than real gnu/linux as usual)..

---------- Post added at 11:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

And once again the sRGB color space physically cannot be "true to life", and +30 oversaturated colors are also not true to sRGB.

If you want great color, pay every government on the planet a few billion dollars to ban and destroy low quality low gamut screens so the standard color space can be bumped up to NTSC or DCI-P3. You'd still have to deal with old content being sRGB though anyways lol

What issue?

Confusing post...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edoardo_Tronconi:
Hello everyone, this is my first post and (obviously :p ) i'm looking for some help.

I've purchased a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X (chinese edition) beacuse i've seen it costs 90€ on Gearbest :D

So, because it's the chinese variant it doesn't support the LTE Band 20 which is very used in the place i live.

I don't even really need it, but it's a good "nice to have" feature.

So i google if it's possible to unlock that feature via software, and i did it, using Qualcomm tools; in fact after i've changed the "LTE cfg" parameter (or something like that) inside the modem file, inside the app "Network Signal Guru" (on my phone) i can see that the "B20: 800 DD" is usable, but unfortunately i can't really use it.

And here's my real question..

Have i missed some software step or it's an hardware limitation?

And if it's an hardware limitation i think it can be solved by adding the missing hardware component/s (like an antenna i suppose) because i don't think it's a smart choice to make a different board for the international version, if you do that you have to do all (or almost) the certification again, and it's a waste of money (and time) for a company :D .

Anyone knows something??

Thanks for any replies

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] meowmanbar2:
earlier today i've replaced my screen, it was all and well, until a white stripe suddenly popped up, it's a strong white vertical stripe, i can't attach a photo because i'm a new member...

anyone has any idea how can i get rid of it?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] JarJarWinks:
First you must determine whether it is a hardware or software issue. Does the white line persist even while booting your device? Try entering the bootloader and see if it's visible. If yes, then it is most likely a hardware issue, in which case, you will need to get the screen replaced again.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] meowmanbar2:
see now, it is probably hardware issue because i've checked with the bootloader and the line is still visible, but do you have any idea what could've caused this in the first place? because i've replaced the screen, used the phone for a couple of hours, and bam, out of nowhere, white stripe.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] JarJarWinks:
I'm afraid not. You'll probably need to get it checked by a professional.

Maybe the screen is defunct, sounds like a serious case of light bleed at the edge of the screen. Either way, you'll probably gonna need to get the screen replaced again.
