[K3 Note Accessories] BB23482:
I think you can.

Well I did asked on their service center. They said that is comes in combo (Screen+Digitalizer) but a local repair shop claim he can replace my digitilzer without screen replacement. You better should ask local service shops near you.
[K3 Note Accessories] thenewgengamer:
Yep. That's possible. But it's way too hard and has a high chance of failure. That's why the people at service center tend to replace the complete assembly. If you can get it changed by a professional then it might be worth it but don't even think about changing it yourself. I tried it and failed.

Hi! I had just bought my g4+ but the phone since yesterday is only in "only emergency calls" mode.

I have tried factory reset, reinstall the rom, try another sim, try the sim in another phone...

Any idea?

Which rom you flashed?

I think you lost your imei nos.

Try to flash latest stock rom.

Unlocking the bootloader is possible with the xz1? Because here the xz1 is not listed.

https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] -Happy Feet-:
You can do this, but you can't backup the DRM keys before. After opening the bootloader the keys get lost and no solution the restore these after closing the bootloader.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] paulle:
You got me wrong, I wanted to know if there is a way to unlock, there is no support from Sony for it like for other xperias. I don't care for DRM.

I used XZ Premium unlock för my XZ1 Dual Sim. All OK

I'm on FW 47.1.A.5.51

I have not rooted it yet, since the only way seems to build yourself, either complete rom or magisk. Maybe I try to fix root though MAGisk one of those days, doen´s seems too hard (see here). My problem is I don't know how to get a stock boot image dump of the 47.1.A.5.51 firmware. In the domnloaded ROM there is only a lot of .sin-files. I do not know how to build a boot.img(.tar) out of it and I don't know how to extract it from my phone without root

Since I lost DRM keys, the camera takes green pictures.

The front camera works in manual mode if HDR is enabled in camera settings.

The back camera does not work and XZ solution with google camera

doesn´t work for back camera (front camera work with google camera version 4.3.016.147548696, but I rather use sony stock with HDR ON)

I have not tested Snap Camera HDR

I found a free camera where everything seems to work, both cameras and both pictures and video. Footej Camera

Apps using camera functionallity does not work. both cameras give green pictures

Status right now.

BL unlocked

No root method known (closes at hand through magisk)

Stock camera works with HDR enabled

Back camera takes green pictures, no known solution

[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] pergoteborg:
I've seen this and I suppose I should extract kernel.sin, but whatabout the ramdisk that´s normally in a boot image?

I just haven´t dared yet since I´m scared to brick my phone if I get the boot image wrong :(
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] pbarrette:
Once you extract the kernel SIN file, you'll see that it's a standard Android boot image.

You can work with it using the normal tools.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] pergoteborg:
Ok, I got a boot.img extracted from my kernel.sin

I patch in Magisk in it according to this post

I tried both last stable v14.0 and lastest expremental v14.5

When I flash the pached result, the v14.0 version halts on boot at sony logo and the v14.5 bootloops

Fortunately flashing the original boot.img I initially extracted brings my phone back to life.

It seems to me that Magisk simply doesn't work for XZ1 dual.

I think I will be. Forcing myself to use it until tomorrow or a few more days...then decide between keeping this or my V30. Heavily leaning toward V30 right now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] C5Longhorn:
I'm not sure yet, will use for a week and then decide. I really like the phone, but get the off axis blue screen quite a bit.

I'm not sure if mine is worse than normal or similar to other units.

I will be returning my verizon variant pixel 2 xl due to the bootloader being locked. I may buy it from google store after doing more review reading. Overall it seems like a great phone for using it a few days.

Completely agree :D
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sag7392:
I'm also in the "nope, not returning it" group. I really like my 2 XL and my screen is just fine for my eyes.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ollakolla:
I impulse purchased the device at Verizon the other night. I have the Note8 but wanted the Pixel2 as a replacement for my Nexus 6P whuch gets used for kernel hacking & ROM development. Having learned that the Verizon won't be unlocking the bootloader was a deal breaker for me. Mine is going back.

After seeing the screen and playing with the device I'm not interested in ordering the unlocked sku directly from Google. I'm unsure what to buy for a new dev device at this point.

--ok
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] capsnbottles:
It's not what I hoped it would be, bought Verizon one hoping like last year I could unlock bootloader. Gonna return and go with one plus 5t most likely. Gonna test drive v30 also.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sharkie405:
People returning the Verizon variant phone because they couldn't unlock the bootloader!? Really? At this point, that is old news about Verizon phones. If that's what you care about, that is a scenario in which you wait to see if anyone figures out unlocking the bootloader before you buy. Secondly, I bought the unlocked variant from Google knowing full well that it'll be a while probably before we get things like root and twrp. Not trying to bash on anyone, but c'mon. Y'all should know better.

Nope. I do believe the OP phones are GSM only. However, if it did work on Big Red, I'd definitely give it some serious consideration! :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Salval:
Most likely. The screen already has burn-in and the edges don't respond.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] kdkinc:
I also was thinking of going to the V30 the big issue is LG yes I know they make the XL, however, their update policy sucks big time.

I currently own the LG G6 update are as scarce as hen teeth.

The next BIG issue is that all V30 are not created equal update wise.

V30 has about 10 different models depending on the carrier where you purchased it.

The Chinese version of the G6 always got updates, the other models some are still waiting.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Rodeojones:
I haven't received mine yet - it's scheduled to ship Tuesday. But as of right now I'm leaning towards returning it when I get it, based upon everything I've read. The display issues are unacceptable for a $1000+ flagship device. Maybe I won't notice, or it won't bother me in person. But now with reports of serious screen burn-in after a week of use, I really don't see how I'll want to keep this phone. I'm really disappointed in Google.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Jexx11:
If you're on T-Mobile why did you buy the Verizon pixel? Have a discount to use or something?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] capsnbottles:
Only way I could get it launch day. And TMobile gives ya 325 if you activate it on there network. I can return the phone and still keep the cash. Maybe upgrade my s8+ to v30 or use cash to buy 5t if it's worth it, always liked those phones never had one
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] THEbigSWEEN:
You'd rather get it launch day and not be able to unlock the bootloader ever (most likely) than to wait a while for it? I definitely need the option to unlock and root, couldn't spend all that on a phone that would only be fully stock. And for the T-Mobile prepaid card, it will be well past the return window by the time you get that money, so returning the phone won't be an option at that point.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] capsnbottles:
Only 35 a month a Verizon with no down, didn't have the 900 cash and Google didn't approve my credit. My mortgage eats up my debt to income and my house means more then a bootloader, I took a chance. To each there own. Still have 10 days to decide, I'm impatient, why wait, tomorrows uncertain

Phones already activated, card will come in 6-8 they ll never know it was returned. I've gotten all kinds of free stuff by test driving phones, they never figure it out.

Going to wait for the 14th day. If there are no reports of the screens being fixed through the RMA process, I'm going to return it. My 2 XL. My wife's regular Pixel 2's screen is just eons better. So, I'll probably pick up one of those. If not, back to the regular Pixel XL for me.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] whyme45125:
it's already been said here if you bought through verizon and have these screen issues you can go through google customer service to have it replaced with an unlocked bl version directly from them.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] WorldOfJohnboy:
Mine will be here tomorrow. I love the muted (or to me, natural) colors on the screen--it's precisely why I will never own a Samsung again. Blue tint side view is a non issue for me. Stock Android, fast updates, FF speakers and the best camera tilted it for me. I had purchased the HTC U11 but returned it because it didn't have CDMA or Wi-Fi calling and it stopped reading my Verizon SIM after 4 days. (Otherwise, I'd still have it.)

I've had a lot of LG and HTC phones previously and I'm used to LCD or non-Samsung LED screens, so I don't think it will be any sort of an issue if mine does start to show minor display issues, lol

Now, if Google does have a recall or RMA, etc, I'll take advantage of it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] galaxys:
^ditto!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] royshero:
After 24 hours I think the phone is awesome the display only really bothered me next to my s8plus. Really only the blue tilt. I think it looks worse on the internet and it's being blown out of proportion. I'm not looking for burn in. If I can see it in day to day use, I'll worry about it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] iceman4357:
I am keeping mine. Really enjoying it. My original XL had the blueish screen at tilt, granted not as bad as the XL 2. Not a deal breaker at all. I dont mind the screen as is and would bet a lot of money that google will let us toggle the sRGB in developer options since enough people have complained about it.

Everything else is better than my original XL. signal strength, battery, camera, waterproof, speakers, etc.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] silesraf:
I'm going to keep my XL 2 becuase the screen is fine with Nav-bar app, it's not a huge problem that everyone is making it out to be :cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] tech338:
I'm keeping it.

I remember when I purchased the Nexus One. Everyone said multi-touch was horrible. Worked fine for me.

When I got the Nexus S - Everyone complained about the curved screen and no SD card.

I got the Galaxy Nexus as a VZ work phone - Everyone told me that the PenTile pixels setup was holding it back.

Nexus 4 - Nobody like the switch to LCD and there were supposedly ghost touches. And can't say I liked the glass back

I got the Nexus 5 and I kept reading the blacks were not good enough.

The Nexus 6's display was too large to be usable and was a failure. Screen too pink and it had burn in.

I was told my Nexus 5X's display was "too warm".

The Pixel XL has (suddenly has) a burn in issue and the screen is/was tto saturated. Purple lines made the camera unusable.

Now the Pixel 2 XL has creaking buttons, a blue tint when you look at it from an angle, and burn in so bad with a gray background, that it is unusable.

The sky has been falling for like eight years. I had a rando come up to me at the bar and tell me I needed to return the phone ASAP because he read an article on BGR that the screen was flawed and nothing could be done. I used all those phones and got the best software experience available. Updates were on time, software and hardware pushed the other manufactures to do better, there was always good customer service (and good hardware support when I purchased from goog). This happens every phone launch and there tons of people that go on to love the phone and use it for years. Am I a fanboy? You judge - many times the king of search could have done better on their hardware pursuits. This is no "iphone killer". But the phone has been out in the wild like a week and I see all these people crying about cancelling their pre-orders based on some reviewer trying to get their sit traffic higher. Use the thing for a week before saying that this is Googles worst product ever and that it will bring about their demise in hardware offerings.

Be picky on what you spend your money on, keep your high expectations, and speak your mind - just like me. I just can't many positive reviews now that one dude tweeted a pic of his phone with a special gray background. Anybody agree?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] phyl0x:
returning mine due to the blue shift. currently haven't started the process to give Google time to publicly respond, but short of an acknowledgement and promise to rectify it'll go back next week. I personally think its the worst screen i've seen in years.

Sending mine back for the blue shift, talked to cs last night. They said it is functioning as intended and won't replace it. I have to return it as a remorse. They sent me a label.

Going Back ASAP!

I ordered [2] P-2XL'S for me and the wife. Both are the black/128Gb models. We got them today (10-25) and they're going right back tomorrow. They are BLUE-ER than a popcicle at any angle that's not a direct view. Not kidding.

I'm not sure if I'm going to get them replaced or not. At this point I'm seriously considering the leaked OnePlus 5T and save myself almost a GRAND! This whole screen issues a real mess, and I'm not happy about it. Especially at $1000/phone -it's really inexcusable.

GOOD JOB LG-goog.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mngdew:
There's a real good chance that OnePlus 5T's 6.0-inch 2,160 x 1,080 resolution display with an 18:9 aspect ratio is by LG since LG is the only manufacturer making 18:9 aspect ratio display for smartphones.;)

Who looks at their phone at an Angle?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] phyl0x:
Everyone does in normal use.

In a car dock? Looking at an Angle.

On your desk at work? Looking at an Angle.

Taking a selfie, with the phone slightly higher than face level? Looking at an Angle.

Sitting on the toilet casually holding it out (not unnaturally elevating your wrists)? Looking at an Angle.

Showing someone else a photo? Looking at an Angle.

With the tint angle on my phone (not saying everyones...) all those normal use cases result in some if not all the screen being bright blue. I see it blue more often then not.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dratsablive:
A good car dock should allow you to turn phone so it faces you head on. If it's sitting on a desk, most likely the screen is off. If I am showing a photo, I let them look at it head on. You're nitpicking.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Bxrider117:
It's clear that the Pixel 2xl is a phone that some will like and some will not. I was worried at first and thought I'd cancelling my order. I have about a week before it may arrive. I'm going to wait and see what my phone will be like.

As a cell phone buyer, and I but a new phone every 4 to 6 months, I'm not going to try and compare this phone to my Samsung s8 plus. Reach phone offers the consumer different things. I want to surgery because I want fast updates and a phone that I can possibly keep. As well as stock Android. Being a Verizon customer the PIXEL last year was the 1st stock Android phone that offered regular updates and was made for Verizon. However it lacked waterproofing. I have the S7 before it and going on vacation and taking pictures inn the pool with the family is something I enjoyed and the pixel didn't offer it.

The pixel 2 will offer that option. For me the best display is not top on my list. If it was I would stay with Samsung because no one does it better. My S8 plus it's still on 7.0 nougut. I saw that on T-Mobile Samsung updated the J7 to 7.1.1. I read an ale that the s8 will be updated to Oreo in early next year, but in another country.

For those who have the pixel, I'm sorry it didn't meet your expectations.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] phyl0x:
its not nitpicking to point out a glaring flaw in a $850+ phone. I know it doesnt bother many people, but the fact that theres dozens of threads on XDA and hundreds on /r/android and /r/googlepixel about this issue (which doesnt exist on any other flagship...besides the v30) so it clearly bothers a sizable percentage of early adopters, nearly all of which are people who want to love this phone (fanboys, or at least stock android enthusiasts). When you pay that price you expect the screen to look better than your 2 year old phone you're replacing, and it doesn't. i love stock android, and i want to love this phone, and will rebuy it in a second if they figure out a fix and resolve it in the future, but in its current form its unacceptable to me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dratsablive:
The issues that bother you are also appearing on other similar devices. The S8 has the same blue tint issue for example. Just Google S8 Blue Tint.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] perveeus:
Sometimes I am glad I am not the first one in line or an early adopter.

But I will say without the early adopters, there wouldn't be the possibility of satisfied customers in the future.
