[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
On the 3 in the Verizon store and my co-worker's I didn't have much time to look under lots of different conditions but on my own I've actually tried to see if. Different colored backgrounds, scrolling on white, different brightness levels, etc. Basically any situations people mentioned and still nothing. Besides the minor blue tint at off angle viewing (which I don't do anyways) I think the screen looks fantastic.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cyber_b_u_g:
I somehow made a decision to go with the original pixel 2 xl (htc u11+) it has almost the same specs but 128gb, 6gb ram same cpu. Great screen.performance should be on par. It should be fine. What do you guys think?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mlin:
Seems like a great device. Personally I'm going to stick with the Pixel experience if I trade my phone in. I'd rather have a smaller screen with all the benefits of a pixel than something outside of the Pixel line
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
It is what it is. If you can't live with it, then it's time to move on :d.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
Screen is fine to me. Yeah it's not the best. But if you get a decent one it's good. The grain is there but only noticeable if you stick to the screen to your face and look out for it

If you see it in normal use I would say its a faulty screen
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mlin:
Just entered the phone lottery with a request for RMA. Leaving the Verizon store very reassured. The display on their demo model, while it had some blue shift, had no graininess. I couldn't believe how terrible my screen looked compared to the floor model. Fingers crossed I get a good one.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cyber_b_u_g:
That's a very good news, good luck. I cant believe google is pushing us to believe this is it and they sell screens that are defect, and we have to live with it. Did you take a photo from the verizon models by any chance?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cyber_b_u_g:
How can you say that, come on. We have paid alot of money for these devices and the least they can do is to stop lying to people. There are alot of reports from people who have screens that are not grainy. The thing is now i cant move on. They say there is not going to be a refund option on the table no more.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
Because Google is going to continue to deny it and will do nothing. It's this far in the game and they haven't made any revisions and probably won't. So either we speak with our wallet and don't buy the phone or return it. In your case you probably will need to continue to play the device lottery and hope for a better one. But I think it's just the quality of the display used. There's other issues that Google ignores on this device as well (speakers cough cough). Could always sell the Pixel and go for something else.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] 83097markcynt:
I must be lucky. My Pixel 2 XL screen has no graininess, no blue shift, no black smear, and no burn in. Everyone that sees my phone for the 1st time is impressed with the screen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mlin:
If you truly have none of those issues, I'd say you're more than lucky, I'd say you have a unicorn. I've never seen a pixel without some degree of blue shift, fortunately I think thats the most minor and overblown gripe about this phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
Yeah I agree. But I don't think theres any with zero graininess or blue shift. Some people wouldn't even notice the grain. I only do if I look closely and I only looked cause I read about it
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mlin:
I don't know, the one I saw in the Verizon store yesterday had zero noticeable graininess - it was a night and day difference compared to my phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
Thought my screen was good until I get to time and the brightness is turned down. Black smear/crushing is bad. Is it normal?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cyber_b_u_g:
Apparently everything's normal and is "intended" on this phone. I don't know what to say anymore.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
Say your battery's rubbish and they will exchange it
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Guyinlaca:
I have a strong feeling that people's brightness levels are a huge factor in the disparities. The Verizon demos are cranked up to 100% brightness and most defects are not apparent at that level. At less than 20% brightness, almost all AMOLEDs have a degree of graininess. We need pictures and brightness levels to be able to determine whether it's "normal" or worse.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
Yeah that's why I say in normal during the day use you shouldn't be able to see it as your brightness is most likely going to be higher. So if you notice it during the day on auto mode then I would say it's higher than normal

with "shipped from the factory" you mean the manufacturering date or what?

did you check when your 2 devices has been manufactured via the lg imei link that was posted somewhere in these forums? :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cyber_b_u_g:
Yes i found that out from the link. why? What's wrong with it??
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xflowy:
yea i first wanted to clarify if there is really one month in manufacturing date between these two devices you mentioned. could have been shipped from factory like that and still be manufacturered on the same day. thats why i asked and actually dont know why you are talking of shipping and not od the manufacturing date, since it's misleading ;)

so after clarifying this: is the blue tint on the 1 month newer device the same as on the old?

thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cyber_b_u_g:
Hey sorry, my bad. I meant manufacturing date although the shipping date is also one month apart.

So here's how it goes.

First device: manufactured. Oct 30th

Shipped Oct. 31st

Second device: manufactured Nov. 26th

Shipped Nov. 30th

The blue tint is i guess the same but that never bothered me, but the grain which is still the issue for me was even worst.

But yesterday after the holidays i received an email fron the support asking for a video clip from the screen.

Im not sure what they have planned for me thus time but ill keep you guys posted.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xflowy:
so when you tilt the phone (try on a white page) the screen gets blue quite fast at the same rate and intensity on the newer device as on the older device?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] westside80:
I just got my Pixel 2 XL today and boxed it right back up. It was manufactured Feb 1st or 5th, I can't remember which it said but it was one or the other. This is April 12, 2018, and I got a phone that was manufactured in February. Anyways, I noticed the grain right off the bat. The display looked like notebook paper at lower brightness and up to around 50% seemed the worst but I can't be sure because I literally held it in my hand 3 minutes before boxing it back up.. Pixel 2 XL 64gb Just Black. I'm not paying $849 for a phone with a garbage display. On top of the grain, it looked like it had a dead pixel or a speck of something under the glass! WTF? All of that on top of the blue shift was just too much for me.

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I did try to flash an HTC Universal and a HTC Breeze using a virtual WinXP as I only had Vista on my latest PCs....

So I did first test using VirtualBox: doesnt work, somehow the VM doesn't recognize the USB device

Did then try using VMWare: work fine!!!! So I have XP on VMWare and I can flash the HTC device connected to my PC, passing the USB device to the VM :D

Here is a lil something that i created today

It is the beta version of Opera 9 which is configured mostly to run from the SD card. The SD card should be named "Storage Card" in order to work correctly, because the cab paths are hardcoded to use that name. I have UPX-ed Opera9.exe from 6 to 2 MB so it take less space.

Download Here

Xplode,

Is opera mobile 9.xx better (faster) than opera mini 4? what about other web browsers? which one is the best in terms of regular browsing?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] April 1:
Opera Mobile is full and independent browser whereas Opera Mini works through Opera Server to deliver the content. As per my experience Opera Brosers are the best available today.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] oelapoel:
and to answer my question? which is faster???
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] xplode:
well try it ant your own experience will answer your question, for me it is hard to answer your question because the performance of them both is really good.

Text Selection On

It was reported earlier that its not possible to edit the contents on Text Boxes in Opera Browser once they are entered.

But that it not correct. Keep touching the screen where you want the entered text to be corrected, a popup will open up, set "Text Selection on" and then select the text in the text box you want to edit and do the operations. :)

Thanks to xplode for releasing this browser to BA users. Its fast and you would have totally different experience.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] razorjack81:
and you call this as "solution"? press backspace is soo simple than "right" right click, select all, and rewrite what was enter before!

or rightclick, selection mode on, select wrong digit, rewrite...

hello,

i'd like to try - but i made some bad experiences with earlier betas - can someone please tell me:

1. does smart fit on QVGA work ?

2. does it overwrite the windows default browser settings ? i'm asking since i use "weather watcher" - this tool seems to use PIE as embedded OLE.

i tried another opera.cab and had to reinstall my whole PDA since i couldn't get this weather watcher to work anymore.

thank you.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] April 1:
1. It does smart fit on QVGA

2. It sets itself as default browser, I didnt mind that setting but since you raised the issue, I need to see if it can be easily changed back to IE as default browser.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] rambo6:
Nice Job Xplode. I found Opera quite interesting. It loads large webpages (like xda-developers very quickly). The only problem I have is with zooming in and out. I have to hold the stylus down and choose zoom in and out. It's a little slow responding. I wish I could assign hardware keys to zoom in and out. It would be very interesting then.

It didn't screw up PIE in any way. I could still use PIE.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] April 1:
Quckly double click at a point with a finger, area will get zoomed automatically. Great feature. No need to hold stylus and select zoom.

I too can use IE, but default browser is set to Opera.

Opera is known to highjack association settings and difficult to remove but this version of Opera Browser gets easily removed, thanks xplode.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] incubus72:
hello,

i tried:

1. smart-fit (fit to screen) does almost work - it does not really fit - it's to wide - looks like it does "fit to a VGA-screen).

2. PIE is still working yes, but opera is the default browser. try to use a application that embedds HTML via OLE (weather watcher for example).

Now it opens opera instead of PIE - this wouldn't be a problem - but opera opens in "full screen" - instead of "embedded in the weather watcher window"

it's the best version i've seen until now - but still these 2 problems...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] rambo6:
April,

Thanks. I'll try that. I knew there must be a better method. I did notice one other problem: When I tried to fill out an online form, I could type but I could not edit what I had typed - in other words, after I typed something, I could not backspace or delete.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] April 1:
As I reported earlier, if you keep Text Selection On, you can edit contents of text boxes, this is not a good feature, but I suppose, we got to live with it in beta version.

what about the input.ini ? / keyboard

hello,

i tried to customize - to make it usable without touchscreen (at least zoom with a button instead of double tap - for devices without touchscreen).

this should be possible by modifying the input.ini (see: http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/04/30/how-to-make-opera-mobile-even-better-mobile-minute/)

looks like the input.ini is just ignored ? did somebody try ? had' any success ?

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] CivilE:
My wife recently upgraded to the new HD 10 after her HDX 8.9 began refusing to wake when the cover was opened or when you press the power button. I thought that it may have been due to a recent OTA update as there are a number of people complaining of similar issues with the new HD 8 (including myself). I was able to root, unlock the BL, and flash a new ROM onto the Apollo unit (thanks to all of the info here), but I am still having issues with it refusing to wake up.

A few minutes after the screen has timed out, you will have to hold the power button to force a reboot in order to get the screen to come back on. I have attached a portion of my log after I turned on Airplane Mode to cut down on some of the chatter. Thoughts??

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Didn't look at log. Which ROM is currently on the device? I assume no Xposed Framework or battery saving apps.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] CivilE:
AospExtended with Magisk and no Xposed or other battery apps.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] CivilE:
Also, just to be clear, these problems were present on the stock fw and still exist after flashing ROM
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Curious - if you boot into TWRP and leave the device untouched the screen should timeout after 60 sec or whatever value is indicated under settings. This is not a true 'sleep' mode but does quite most idle activity. Do you experience a 'wake' freeze under those conditions? How about Android "safe mode"?

My guess is the behavior will NOT occur under TWRP; will under Safe Mode. Let's see if that plays out.

Note: to boot into "safe mode" long press the power button while AEX is unlocked then long press the "power off"; you'll be prompted from there.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] CivilE:
Your assumption is correct. It does NOT occur under TWRP, but DOES under Safe Mode.

Hey,

Droped and receiver is not working.I want to claim warranty.In samsung info now my firmware details show multi csc and my baseband chaged.

My Question is

1.Will i get warrenty if i just download and flash XSG uae firmware through Odin ?

2.Will it change my base band to original version ?

3.I Don't know wheather its UAE XSG OR LYS.is there any way to know this from screenshots attached ?

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] shafez:
1- there is no picture attached .

2- flashing official firmware does not void the warranty as it does not trigger knox switch.

3- Better use the modem attached with the firmware as they are optimized to work together and avoid triggering knox while flashing only one component of the firmware.

4- You can find weather it is XSG or LYS only in recovery and not in software information.
