Use a black theme, holy **** people, no more blue tint, and no burn in. I'm so sick of every other thread talking about the blue tint. Get rid of the phone, get something else and leave if you can't handle the "screen issues"
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] whyme45125:
my s7 edge has blue shift at very extreme angles but my new P2XL has it straight on at 0degrees. It's defective for sure. Going back as no matter what google lies about the screen issues, this shouldn't be this blue! Also for future reference, Google chat is refusing to RMA blue screen problems but if you call in they'll replace it.

Oh yeah btw the guy on the phone was linked to one of the pages on this site showing side by side comparisons and stated "Yeah it's not supposed to be like that, not that blue"

---------- Post added at 10:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

If you don't want to hear about it stay out of the blue shift and screen issues threads. Simple as that. My screen is blue when looking straight on. Looks like hell, no I will not change all sorts of settings and/or switch to different theme just to 'HIDE' the defect with my device. Is it too much to ask for a non defective device for a $100 phone let alone a $1,000 phone! Btw mine is going back but for another one with agood acceptable screen. Congrats you got a good one right off the bat, I and a bunch of others here weren't so lucky!

Pretty hard when more than half the threads on here are crying about it. Don't like the blue shift? Get a different phone stop sending it back. Get a refund and leave, or would it not sit well you have nothing to compalin about then?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] whyme45125:
so then there's a legitimate reason for the complaints then if it's more than half of us! TROLL - ignored.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Lawlrus:
Trolling? Do you see how many posts I have? You think a troll account would last this long?

It's pretty simple. If it's a legitimate issue, then stop getting pixel 2's and get something else.

Key advice on the internet: Don't feed the trolls
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike02z:
I have no doubt that there are problems. That said, people bailed before they ever got their phone simply based on strangers reports.

I do find the Note 8 is brighter with more vivid colors. That said, I've done quite a few TV calibrations and my Pixel 2 XL is closer to realistic colors than the Note 8. Samsung oversaturates colors and kicks the brightness way up to make their screens pop. They are not realistic representations of a calibrated display. Many have just gotten used to the inaccurate displays of other phones. Just my opinion.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] whyme45125:
Agreed the colors represented are the closest phone I've seen to my calibrated tv. That being said the blue shift is the killer for me and a lot of others here, not the color accuracy that keeps being brought up(we all know that's a software fix for those samsung supersaturation lovers), but I am getting another one since I love this phone so much and feel it's an amazing device besides the screen problem on mine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] draiken78:
Definitely not fake news. Mine looks nothing like the ones on display at Verizon near me. I took a picture of mine while waiting in the Google Support chat queue tonight. It's definitely not good on my unit.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pknath19:
Fine you are right. There is a problem with mine. It's blue. I wonder if I would have cared as much if I didn't read this. Dammit I lose again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] draiken78:
I tried not to care and pressed on with using it a few days before contacting Google, but it was a deal breaker when I learned that using the browser strains my eyes due to the blue tint. It is a smart phone after all, so a core function should be being able to use the browser to surf the internet without it hurting my eyes. It's not bad at a perfectly straight angle, unfortunately the way I hold my phone when I use it isn't in the 'perfect angle' range on my device. 'You're holding it wrong' is not the right answer for a $850 device.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zetsumeikuro:
Sure, but this is the same of every manufacturer even Samsung. Probably because of the price tag that people are waving their pitchforks extra hard this time around.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Migamix:
my device is great, but i will not say there may be defects with batches, or a flaw due to poor QC. its not uncommon for bad news to spread faster and virulent than good news. what most of us that are tired of the bad news, we are just damn tired of some of the nitpicky AR (you figure out what AR means) posts and comments about, "oh no, someone said if i dont look at the phone at 0 pitch, it will get a little blueish" (read one of my other rant posts and you will see many different device screens have this tint. ) basically we are seeing many people just hitching their hooks on someone when their device is working great beyond that point. yes, i will say, some screens are more bluetainted than others, but im also wondering about factors before those pictures were taken, was brightness set at exactly the same for both devices. i was able to get BOTH varied blue levels based on changing my brightness level. im hoping the "proof" pictures were done with ANY HDR or colour correction turned off. im not doubting there may be flaws, but im seeing a bunch of people going, "me too", when they dont understand what/why they are seeing something.

ATM, any issues im having are extremely common for every new OS release. i have never had a "cutting edge" released device without the bugs, software incompatibilities

i do take some of these early day comments and assumptions with a grain of salt. anyone remember the "LED light" debate on the N9, and even with a pictures of the light on when the device had 0 battery and plugged in, AND a damn X-RAY of the device, some insisted there was not an LED at the bottom, and not at the top left where plastic obviously was. oh the N9, you are the reason im done with HTC. you had potential and are still used in the crapper room (thats about all you are good for now)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] draiken78:
I remember the N9. I was super excited for HTC to finally made another nexus device. I had that hunk of garbage for 2 full years and I'm amazed it ran that long.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonathan-H:
Luckily for google, most buyers won't pay attention to online reviews and forums, and they shouldn't.

The XL 2 I used I could find no tint whatsoever.

As for the complaints about the price, every single phone in the wild, barring iphone ( I hate saying this but their displays are perfect ) have colour shift off angle. Every single one.

They either shift colour to red or blue or purple or they dim as you tilt. The Samsung have red tint and pink tint issues, LG have colour bleed and washout at the top or bottom of the display, HTC have light bleed. Pixels have some red tinting due to amoled.

Does everyone throw a fit when samsung have issues? nope.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ProAm500:
Do they have a color shift that starts at 5 degrees like mine? Is it as dramatic a shift? How come my 2015 nexus 6p doesn't have nearly as dramatic a shift.? And most buyers buying the pixel are Android enthusiasts, despite Google's effort to make the pixel more appealing to the mainstream.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Lawlrus:
How are you going to compare​ two different screen types?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pecata:
I am on my second Pixel 2 XL, waiting on a third. I also like the device but this is the first time I am having so many issues with a google phone...I have owned every google smart phone since Galaxy Nexus.

My first Pixel 2 XL had a defective pixel that wouldn't turn off to display blacks...it will just stay red. This second one I have, has a pink hue in the middle of the screen and it randomly reboots itself when it feels like it. I contacted Google again, sent them a picture of the screen and told them about the reboots-they are sending me a new one.

I am extremely disappointed so far...but I really love the phone-the camera, the software the design, the dual speakers...but I am legitimately worried that this is a flawed device and LG did a crappy job and Google didn't bother QC at all. Fingers crossed that the one that is supposed to arrive on Monday won't have problems.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ProAm500:
Is the 6p not oled? If you're talking amoled vs. Poled or whatever, the person I replied to did exactly that. The point is that to my eye, the screen on my near 3 year old phone is better than my pixel 2 xl and only has some color shift at an extreme angle. Unless I'm looking at the pixel 2 xl dead on, any angle past zero has a blue tint. And forget looking at it on the table or my desktop, or while I'm cooking etc. Those are just rehashed points, I get it. But whether it is polarization, a bad application of the polarization layer , a defective device, etc. Its just not a very impressive screen by any means.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Lawlrus:
Yes that's what I'm talking about. It's plastic not glass, and the 6p like you said doesn't have a polorization layer like the xl2 does. So you can't compare it to something it's not, that's just ridiculous. Just because someone else did it too, doesn't mean it works.

And that's your opinion. Everyone keeps calling blue shift an issue, but not everyone sees it that way.

White actually looks white on this screen, you look at the 6p and it's like a hazy yellow. So if you think that looks better without using kcal than the xl2 does, I'd go get your eyes checked
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ProAm500:
Yes, the 6p is not as good at displaying whites, but what's the point when 9 out of 10 times I'm viewing white on the p2xl , half the screen looks blue?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] whyme45125:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Lawlrus:
I use a black sub theme, I don't see a blue screen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ProAm500:
I'm guessing that's a black substratum theme? Legitimate question, and this isn't just directed at you, but I've seen people post I don't use a white theme or white wallpaper etc so it's not an issue. Aren't like 50 percent of webpages people view white?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Lawlrus:
Depends on the browser, a large amount of them have options for night mode that makes the majority of pages dark.

I've been trying out the Samsung browser, that has the option.

Fwiw I'm not using a black theme for that reason I've always used black themes for oled because of how blacks look on oled, I looked at at my screen before I applied one, and I do see how the white turns blueish at an angle, still not as much of an issue to me as it apparently is to others.

The phone's fast and the battery life is nothing like it was on my 6p, the amount of people that view their device on an angle is astounding to me, I wasn't aware so many people don't look at their device strait on, but whatever works for people I guess.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ProAm500:
Fair enough. Maybe you hit "the lottery" with your panel as some have pointed out. I personally shouldn't have to make comprises like using a certain browser, night modes, hiding the nav bar, etc to hide some of the widely reported issues with the display. And as aside, I've mentioned this in other forums, I was surprised myself at how often I view my phone at some type of angle during a given day, especially at work or doing things around the house.

Hi! I have some sort of DZ09 clone (also known as "unusual 32mb NOR MTK6261") whose watchface(s) I want to change, but I have a problem.

The ROM file contains nothing but a boot animation. After doing some research, I found that the watchfaces are stored in the "VIVA" file which unfortunately can't be opened with any application.

Is there any way to change the watchfaces in this specific model?
[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] Javiluo:
Hi all

First of all, excuse me for my english ;) I´ll try to be short

So, I bought a P10 plus, VKY-09C432B133, and thanks to the "tutorial for update" I unlocked the bootloader successfully, and installed TWRP. Then problems came:

- In fastboot mode, it says "Phone Unlocked", but "FRP lock" . (previously it was unlock, in green, I´m sure)

- Didn´t root the device

- I can not do any fastboot command, it always give an error (command not allowed or root type is risk). I think it´s because Frp is lock.

- Debugging mode, in developers options, always go to "off", no matter how many times I change "on" ... when I come back, it´s "off"

The question is .... ¿how can I set FRP unlock? this Huawei has always been mine, so always have had my google account. I have it already singed in, in it.

The only way I can "factory reset" is in TWRP., but it´s always the same.

Thanks !!

After flash 32 it is starting and i see the wizzard.

But after flashing 33 and rooting i have no wifi.

İ flashed 31.02 then update 32 and after this i update it ota

To 33 and last to 35 and everything is working root (supersu) (dont use magix)is working with 35 very well. Everything ok (xposed, gravity and so on) thx
[Miscellaneous Android Development] adtbm:
If you don't have Wifi after going to 033, you didn't followed the part of "getting twrp" correctly.

"...... - if everything was OK up till now, it should start download - BE PATIENT- and read the status window on QFIL, when it shows "finish download"....

- disconnect phone from PC

- press and hold simultanousely POWER and VOL+ (- RECOVERY MODE -) AND...

- ... use a small tool to push the reset button on the phone under the hatch, while still pressing Power and Vol+ !

- the phone should now be in twrp recovery. ....."

If you let the phone reboot after flashing the recovery, it will overwrite the boot and your wifi is gone !

But nice to hear, that everything is OK now. Do you have problems with 035 ? some people report, that they having issues with the display camera on 035 ...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] javizap:
Sorry for this silly question, but i´ve seen that in other models once you install twrp then you can flash super su, why here you have to downgrade to 0.31 first?

Thank you in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] adtbm:
Hi,

not sure, if you have read the complete guide, or if you have read through the 28 pages of the original Thread.

I think, it could be possible, (but i did not tested it) to flash the recovery via QFIL directly and then install SuperSU, without going back to 031. But since there are models of the s60 out, where only one Simslot is available (Please read my guide), to get the second slot activated you have to flash an LTE_D... firmware and, thanks to Cesarq, we (only) have atm his 031 firmware available, which is luckywise an LTE_D. firmware !

Like i mentioned in this guide allready, i did not found out the way how to root the s60 (the credit goes to Cesarq) and i also did not find out, how to update to 033 (this credit goes to OpenMinded), i have only collected the software & tools, bundled it and wrote this guide, with the available information written throughout the 28 pages of the original Thread.

So please feel free and test it and write us your result !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yesca213:
ok, just did my s60 last night, everything seemed to go just as described. i just checked and it seems it took the update and the dual sim activation. it didnt take root tho. i tried root checker and titanium and both say no root access. maybe i did the final step wrong? i tried it again with no success. am i supposed to be loading the nobootpatch recovery in qfil as the last step and then install su? thats how i attempted it. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Yanardag:
Nope everything is well. 35 runs without any bugs. For me is importend that xposed is running and that does.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] adtbm:
I asume, you have SuperSU copied onto your microSC card ?!

When you have finished flashing the nobootpatch recovery (QFIL shows finish download), you have to disconnect the phone from the PC, push Vol+ and Power and Reset (under the hatch) at the same time.

Otherwise Bootloader gets overwritten, your Wifi is gone, no custom recovery and no root.

If you are not using the version of QFIL from my package, you probably have a version that automatically reboots when download is finished and you're screwed !!!

If you did it correctly your phone should boot into twrp custom recovery and you should be able to install SuperSU from SD.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yesca213:
Yes I did have it copied and installed it. I went back and did it again and hit wipe dalvic cache instead of going back in the recovery menu and wiping cache and data. Up and running 33 rooted, everything seems good so far! Thanks [emoji2]
[Miscellaneous Android Development] javizap:
I took your advice and rooted without downgrading firmware. My CAT is double SIM from factory and on 0.35 OTA.

I followed your guide but jumped from backup with twrp to install supersu, following all the steps from there.

Until now everything working fine with root.

One more time I can say that people on XDA is the best!

Hello to this wonderful group. I did the rooting and it worked wonders, I was very disappointed with my Cat s60, for not being able to use the second sim and for the poor quality of the camera. After the root it became dualsim and the camera improved a lot. in addition to everything that means to be root. I am very grateful to ADTBM and to all those who made this possible. thanks thanks. regards
