[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldminer2:
Dear all,

Can you please me help me on this one.

My phone suddenly couldn't open. It was almost full storage.

So after a week I decided to reformat it using odin.

At first I tried loading the odin and ap stock firmware of N910C.

However it is stuck in bootloop.

Then I tried stock firmware and then installing twrp. but still stuck in bootloop, and couldn't go to recovery mode. Only download mode works.

Finally I decided to use Nand-erase all, thinking I could erase cache (but stupid). but still I'm stuck in bootloop.

I tried flashing a pit file (but not sure if it is the right one) but still stuck in bootloop. Couldn't go to recovery mode.

All I can do is download mode and pass firmware..

Guys, any idea/ help what should I do? Thank you very much.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] farrenicus:
I received my Pixel 2 XL earlier this week...

Why are phones increasingly coming with rounded screen corners? The screen on the XL doesn't go all the way to the edge of the phone, so there is no spatial concern there--this is an actual design decision. Why would anyone artificially give up screen real estate? For the sake of style? Is it really that important to have the contours of the viewable display match the contours of the corners of the phone?

This is incomprehensible to me, and it actually affects usability. When I VNC my PC, I can't even see the program icon on a maximized window because of the rounded upper left corner. Depending on the OS, the close button isn't visible either. Additionally, the unnecessary padding shrinks the notification bar.

Is it worth the cool-factor to you? Do you really need 'sleekness' so much that you wish to sacrifice the benefits of a traditional rectangular resolution?

Rectangles are typically just more efficient shapes in two dimensions. If you have little cabinet space in your kitchen, you can make the most of it by using square plates instead of round plates--it doesn't harm usability much (a round plate is typically easier to carry) and you increase total plate area. You could almost say the same for square versus round cups, except there is a clear impact on usability there in favor of the round cup. The rounded screen aligns more closely with the round plate, except I can't see even a minor usability advantage.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Veritech:
I honestly hate the trend of rounding everything...from icons (i.e. Contact photos) to screen corners. Super irritating but we're stuck dealing with it if the rest of the phone out-weighs the negative aspects of rounded corner displays.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] browniegirl:
It's to make more money I feel.harder to get a screen protector on which means more people go naked and then the need for screen repairs increases

Personally can't stand it implemented at the hardware level, when it can be done with a simple software overlay. I believe it's a 2017 trend and next year we'll be back to squared corners.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] farrenicus:
I considered adding that I also hate curved edges, but I wanted to focus on the latest trend (I was already in danger of a tl;dr I figured) since curved edges became a thing in... 2014 I believe?

Round icons are terrible as well. I'm using a square icon pack. I think Google began encouraging round icons with Android 5, and now even Twitter has given in.

It's. All. Just. Wasted. Space. Computing is supposed to be about efficiency, not fickle, transient glamour. This is what happens to a market when nearly everyone on the planet becomes a part of it: lowest common denominator marketing.

I agree that a software overlay makes perfect sense. It's essentially adding an extreme, opaque vignetting effect (another thing I loathe) which can be done with a shader, just like vignetting.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Veritech:
Yes a software overlay or user-selectable option for squared or rounded interface would be ideal
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] farrenicus:
They should have made the film grain effect optional as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
Yep can't stand rounded glass either. I'm convinced it's a form of planned obsolescence, you're less likely to use a tempered glass screen protector if it doesn't cover the whole screen or doesn't lay flat; hence you're statistically more likely to crack your screen. That and it looks nice pretty and caters to the masses.

One of the things I simply can not stand (and I've tried really hard to learn to like it) is the way Samsung has taken to wrapping the screen around curved edges. I'll take the rounded corners. It's not like you're losing any important screen real estate. I've never need to tap something wayyyy up in any of the corners before. 8-)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcloadletter1:
The viewable screen measures 5-13/16" diagonally. They advertise a 6" display to the virtual black corners.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pappy35:
THOSE LYING !@#$%!!! A whole 3/16" of an inch!?! That it. That's false advertising on top of a horrible screen...clicking noises, and...and...whatever else some anonymous internet person claims fails!!!!!! I'M CANCELLING MY ORDER!!!!

PS - This is meant to be funny. 8-P
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jlee08517:
Just FYI though. Rounding is not a trend that all companies are trying to follow. It's just an engineering solution to minimize cracks in the corners now that there is minimal bezel. Just my 2 cents here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] farrenicus:
I gave some examples of how the rounded corners hurt functionality. Just because it doesn't personally affect you (yet) doesn't mean it isn't, objectively speaking, a usability downgrade. It's a decrease in resolution, and one scaling cannot make up for considering where the pixels are taken from. However minor you consider it, measuring the traditional way and imagining square corners to call the display "6-inch" is also highly deceptive--good catch, pcloadletter1.

Consider also a scenario where this trend dies out, but 2:1 aspect ratio actually becomes common enough that games and graphically intensive productivity programs (which can't necessarily scale aspect ratio on the fly) begin conforming to it when it is detected (meaning no pillar boxing), moving UI elements into anticipated squared corners. You can't reasonably expect all developers to provide automatic padding detection or manual options for UI elements, particularly when the app doesn't use standard Android fare elements.

I understand how this applies to rounded glass along the EDGES, but not to rounded corners as the visible display on most phones, including the 2 XL, does not come close enough to the corners of the phone for this to be a solution. I see the article above, but I'm skeptical of LG's in-house testing (particular after the V30 and 2 XL screens were released into the wild :P). The entire face of the phone is going to be covered in glass regardless. The shock of the impact is much more likely to go throughout the plane of the glass rather than damage the screen underneath it IMO, regardless of where the screen begins or ends. I think in this particular case it's purely a stylistic decision. :/ All that said, I get the impression you're talking about rolled edges rather than the corners of the viewable screen. I don't like rolled edges either, but I agree with you on that as a damage mitigation solution on tiny bezel phones.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jlee08517:
No I am talking about the corners not the edges. you would be surprised how much the square cut corners can do to the structural integrity of parts. do you know why we no longer have rectangular airplane windows? cracks. They just blew out during testing and flights. similar concept here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] farrenicus:
I understand the argument in the case of a true full-screen phone. I'm looking at my 2 XL and I just don't see it. I guess it's possible this is just what LG offers for the sake of models to come which do have screens which extend further to the corners of the phone. In that case, it isn't Google's stylistic decision, but their penny-pinching in choosing a suboptimal display for their particular chassis. What's worse? :P
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] toknitup420:
I'm confused. Why did you even buy the phone then. It sounds to me like you absolutely hate the screen design. You almost seem shocked that the screen looks this way. Did you not research the phone before buying. I'm not trying to get into a typical xda pissing match with you or anything. I'm just a lil confused as to why you bought the phone if you loathe the screen design.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] farrenicus:
Because those quibbles weren't enough to turn me off the phone, but were enough for me to make a thread about. :) If the picture quality and viewing angle were at least as good as on my trusty Note 3 (even with 4 years of aging on the AMOLED), I would be keeping it.

I wanted to gauge how others felt about it and I was relieved to see most people don't appreciate the rounded corners. I'd be keeping the phone if the display didn't have other issues. I only come into the phone market every four years. Had I realized LG has a history of poor quality OLEDs, I probably would have pre-ordered a non-XL instead, but I don't regret this short detour. Had I not gotten the XL first, I probably would have been left wondering. When my non-XL arrives tomorrow, this phone will go back, and I won't have any 'what ifs'.

No pissing matches here. I get what jlee08517 is saying, too, and it's obviously valid for, say, the iPhone X. I just don't think durability was much of a factor in choosing panel shape of this particular phone which still has quite a bit of non-display surface area on the face.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Herohtar:
I am really surprised that people haven't been mentioning this anywhere when they complain about the Pixel 2 XL screen. I have not been affected by any of the things people have been freaking out about online (aside from minimal blue shift), but within just a few minutes of setting up my phone I had already encountered a situation where information in the corners of the screen was actually cut off by the roundedness. It's not a very common case to have important things that far into the corners and I'm sure app developers will adapt their designs, but I hate having parts of the screen cut off like that. Plus, I think it looks bad 90% of the time because you have the rounded corners at the top of the screen, but then you end up with square "corners" at the bottom due to the navigation bar being flat across the top.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AndrasLOHF:
I haven't really had any issues. Personally as manufacturers keep pushing the screens closer to the corners this was inevitable. I actually like it. IMO can't really blame anyone other than lazy devs for not taking the rounded corners into consideration in the same way as devs are dragging feet on complying with the new aspect ratio.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] DevanteWeary:
I don't know a single person that likes rounded or curved screens.

In fact it's kind of pointless because in most cases, you have the navbar on the bottom of the screen, then above that you have the actual content ended in squared corners, then at the very top you have two rounded corners.

So essentially you have round corners at the top and square corners at the bottom. It looks worse than having four round corners!

Bumping this thread to ask a question that i haven't get the answer yet.

I have the regular Pixel 2 but the screen is too small and the bezels are too big, i want to upgrade to the XL but i have a big question related to the curved corners visibility. If i want to see movies or YouTube, i will see them with the rounded corners too or there's and option to see it with rectangular corners, like it supposed to be?

I ask this because the screen aspect ratio of the regular XL is 16:9, the classic cinematic ratio, and the XL one is 18:9.

Square corners. No crop.

[IMG="compare"]https://i.imgur.com/Ef6LVRL.jpg[/IMG]

Round corners. Crop.

[IMG="compare 2"]https://i.imgur.com/URspL6q.jpg[/IMG]

I ask this because rounded corners don't make any sense to me. Most multimedia content (videos, etc) are rectangular. Computer and TV screens are rectangular.

Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Herohtar:
The rounded corners won't affect any videos unless they're close to 18:9 (do those even exist?). 16:9 videos fit into the screen with small unused bars on the left and right so you still get the square corners. The times it's an issue is in fullscreen games (Minecraft, PUBG, etc) though some developers have worked around it by offsetting things further from the edges.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
It crops the video so it has square corners. Hard to see but on the left and right sides of the screen shot below there is a narrow unused band that eliminates the round corners.

Actually you can see the bands if you don't open the pic.
