[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
I'm sure I'll get plenty of people pulling out their pitch-forks...

However, I'm seriously considering making the switch to the iPhone X. Now that it's readily available and many of my friends/family have one, I've had the ability to get my hands on it many times now and I really love the overall feel of the phone. When comparing my Pixel 2 XL with the iPhone X side by side, the difference in screen quality is night and day. It really does put the Pixel 2 XL screen to shame. It's not a subtle difference, by any means. Compared to the iPhone X, my 2XL's screen just looks cheap and washed out, even with Saturated mode enabled.

I'm finding that I really love the fluidity of IOS 11, as well. Although, I'm still not a huge fan of the obnoxiously large icons and lack of home screen customization. But I'm starting to think I can look past all that. Sadly, comparing the two phones side by side makes me realize I truly got sub-par quality with my ~$900 2 XL and it is seriously making me consider selling it while resale value is still high and making the switch.

Oh, and coming from the Galaxy S8 & LG V30, I have found that I truly miss the convenience of wireless charging. So it would be nice to go back to having a wireless charger on my night stand and another on the desk in my home office. With that setup I always had a charged phone and never even pulled the OEM USB-C charger from the original packaging. Wireless charging is truly liberating and I would love to have that back.

THANKS!

With my experience with the screen, I was just thinking of moving down to the Pixel 2. I just wanted to see what other people thought. I just see if I go with an RMA I run the risk of getting an even worse device.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] KHANrad_SIN:
I love the phone for the most part. The screen is meh to me. I'll walk in to an electronics store and compare the screen to some other flagship with oleds like the galaxy S8/S8+, Note 8, Iphone X, the smaller Pixel 2 and even the LG V30. They all tend to have smoother/brighter whites, like they look less blotchy. I've managed to make my screen look quite a bit better with KCAL but even then I still wish it was just a samsung panel instead. I looked at the essential phone on display the other day and goddamn the build quality on that thing is amazing. It takes that whole "fancy" feeling of the Iphone X to a whole new level. Was seriously considering it since its only $500 right now. But at the end of the day I just can't give up the software and quick updates on the Pixel 2XL, even if it means settling with a so so screen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] GuestK00143:
If you don't mind the size difference and this screen bothers you go for the Pixel 2. The screen is much better on that one.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Pitch forks! Nah..it's your money bro, get what you like. I played with my brother in laws iX. It has a great screen, superb build quality, great camera, and is smooth as silk for sure. However....that NOTCH, gesture control, and zero buttons anywhere just isn't my cup of tea. But again, it's your money, you don't owe anyone an explanation, so get what you like, be happy, Merry Christmas, and live long and prosper :good::good:

Love this phone better than mate 9 or Nexus 6p. Or iPhone 7s that I briefly tried. Better battery life and overall experience.

My screen fares well against my wife's pixel 2 to be honest. The screen could be better but I prefer over the OnePlus 5t screen in some ways
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bam654:
So I am on the Google beta but for the past couple months my messages app has been so slow. Slow to open conversations and takes 30 to 40 seconds after I hit send to even start sending a text. Sometimes if I hit send and get out of the app the text won't even process and try to send. The rest of the phone has been fine just messages. Anyone have a similar issue?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] exad:
Have you tried clearing the data of the messages app in app settings?

Yes I have it helped a little but it's still not great

Thanks
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] MGREX:
I been thinking about getting this but amazon is full of reviews from people saying it only lasted a month, battery bulged and broke the screen, one guy saying he's on his third replacement, another about how it died and burned his USB cables, etc

Is it that bad? did anyone here got some serious hardware problems with this phone?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] dean_morr:
This is my first Android phone i have had zero hardware problems, had it over a year now. It was out of commission for 3 months because of a boot loop, but that was my fault, not installing a new Rom correctly. Currently running TURBO's MIAU Destroyer V12 not a single hiccup in 6 months.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] MGREX:
Did you try official lineage? how did it go?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Moon75:
If you think its bad why even thinking of buying it? million of phones out there

I have X720 over 6 months it work well. I been flashing everything stock rom, Aicp, Omni, Turbo roms, Tora33 rom and more. Still use it everyday. If you know what you doing with your own it should be fine.

The thing is the Lineage Nougat family rom (non stock) maybe only few of them that work well for example I found AICP Nougat pretty good, I heard good things about Lineage but haven't really try it. You need 1-2 good rom and stick with it should be best.

correction: If you know what you doing with your phone it should be fine.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] JustinTrouble:
I've had two.

The fingerprint reader stopped working on the first after one week.

The second has been working fine so far for the last four months.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] mchlbenner:
I have had 727 with no problems at all and I have tried every rom and best results have been 21s stock remove bunch of junk.

Runs perfect.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] MGREX:
Not a lot of good phones and I was hearing from some reviews this phone had problems so I wanted to know if its true

BTW anyone knows if its going to get oreo/official lineage15?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Moon75:
FP I never have single problem on X720. Try flash latest stock rom it might help.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] JustinTrouble:
Thanks for the suggestion, but I already tried the latest stock rom.

The fingerprint reader was working and then suddenly stopped working (LineageOS is installed on the phone), so I assume it's the fingerprint reader that has failed.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] ZeblodS:
If you had asked me a few days ago, I would have said that it's the best phone I have ever owned. The battery last for me 3 days, with 7h SOT on average. I had zero issues ever since I bought it begining of 2017 on sold.

But yesterday, with absolutely no reason at all, when I plugged the cable for charging (original LEECO cable and charger), the USB-C port just burned. It was very fast, as soon as I plugged it, I smelled burn odour. I unplugged, the USB port was hot with burn marks. I tried another cable, burned like the first one.

I have now a phone with less than 15% of battery I cannot recharge anymore. It will go in the trash as soon as I used the remaining battery to retrieve all my data by wifi because there is no aftersale for LEECO anymore. It's a real shame, the phone was really great to use.

I looked over the internet, several people seem to have similar issues lately with this phone. Looks like a hardware problem that just started to appear lately on several devices. Maybe a wrong batch of phones, but it's 300€ for a few month of use only.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Bi0T0X1N:
Yeah, I can confirm that there are problems with a batch LEX720. My device died while trying to recharge. I plugged in the orginal cable for charging, the device went off and could not be started anymore. Now I am annoyed about the Banggood support. It is really a great device, but not if it only lasts 2 months! :(
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] JustinTrouble:
It's sad to hear about your devices dying while charging.

I didn't trust the original cable or the charger. First thing I did was buy a trusted USB A charger, and 56k Ohm USB A to C cable.

It really is an amazing phone (when used with a custom rom) when it works.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] sk8223:
Don't use the stock cable, I doubt it's Benson approved or even safe for non-China use. Use a USB-C cable approved by Benson Leung, a Google engineer. Like the stock Google Pixel cable.

USB-C to USB-A has a lot of issues. Many cables aren't made to spec, and can cause fires if you're not careful. Stop using the LeEco stock cable and buy a better one from a reputable brand!
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Moon75:
I have 3 LeEco phones, Le Max2 x829, LE Pro3 x720 and Le Pro3 Elite x722, All of them I always use charger and cable that come with the phone. I never have any problem. I sold the Le Max2 recently which was work perfect.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] T1Cybernetic:
I'm a little scared to use the original charger and cable after reading the horror stories :D I'll probably start off with my old Nexus 6p charger and cable until I can find a good third party charger and cable! ;)
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Moon75:
Before I have Lg V20 use its charger to charge LeEco phones too which work fine without problem. Lg quick charger come with a thick strong cable.

---------- Post added at 03:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 AM ----------

LeEco quick charger come with skinny cable compare to Lg cable.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] meangreenie:
Got 2 leecos in the house for over a year. The original lead for my pro3 went bad not long ago, where it would keep stopping charging, the charger and the charger and lead for the max 2 are fine though.

Seems it maybe worth buying a lead at least, if your worried.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] samsungandriod:
i replaced the original usb c cable with an ebay one, then it has been working fine for just over a year. great phone. never give any problems.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Ace42:
The stock charger can burn the USB port, which might be a fire hazard. I wouldn't use it personally even if it hasn't happened to you yet. I use my Kindle Fire's wallplug, and Suaoki type C cable. It's cheap and Benson approved.

I've had mine since November of 2016, so a little over a year. None of these issues have popped up. Now, a broken screen can occur to any phone if you drop it. I haven't read the reviews, so not sure about the context.

Other than that my experience has been good, especially as someone coming from the LG G4 (boot looped). Battery life is back to the LG G2 days, so I get well over 6 SOT, and can easily hit 8-9. On wifi battery life is crazy as well.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] mchlbenner:
Really like lg g2 but it would get hot when gaming.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] MGREX:
Thanks everybody for your replies

Regarding the charging issue then I guess when I get mine I'll toss the leeco cable and charger into the trash ASAP. I'll use my old nexus charger which isn't QC but regular voltage. Will take longer to charge but at least I can be sure it wont fry my X720:good:

Also QC kills your battery, my Z00A went from 3000mah to 2000mah in a few months because of QC and I been hearing similar stories from other users

IMHO big batteries are better than small ones with QC which is why I'm getting this

As for trusted cable brands which would you guys recommend? is anker good enough? what about xiaomi cables?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] sk8223:
Quick Charging tends to overheat the battery, a fact that many people, unfortunately, ignore. Overheating the battery = shortened battery capacity.

Just stick to anything on Benson Leung's list of approved cables.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] MGREX:
Is not just that they ignore but that MFG casually forget to warn you about it

Hi,

It seems that the newest CU build 15063.786 is only available for Lumia 640/640xl, and no other devices.

My Lumia 830 (in release preview ring) has 15063.608 and cant find any newer builds in the release preview ring.

Because of the security fixes in the new build i would like to update to the new build.

Is it right that in the future there wont be any newer CU builds than 15603.608 in release preview ring for the Lumia 830?

Thanks

Yes, there is some more information, thanks.

But there is no information about why the last CU build is only available for the Lumia 640/640xl. Or if the Lumia 830 (or other lumias) will get any new CU update in the future.

Does anyone have more information about that?

[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Exanneon:
Was running Resurrection Remix 7.1.2 on my G5 before flashing the pixel experience 8.1 rom, after flashing it though, it began rebooting after ever 10 seconds or so when booted into the actual os, since this was happening, I restored a backup of RR which was made before flashing oreo, and after restoring this backup my device began showing the same symptoms as the ones I saw on pixel experience, except the reboots had an interval of about 20 minutes, unlike on oreo with 10s, and since this was still happening I decided to flash a stock firmware XT1677 (my device however, is XT1675), and somehow after flashing this stock firmware it was displaying THE EXACT SAME symptoms I saw on oreo and then on RR nougat, so put simply: after flashing oreo, every single rom including stock was rebooting every 10 seconds (except RR with 20 minutes), so what I did was flash TWRP on stock rom (bootloader still unlocked) and flashed RR with the hopes of atleast having a longer interval of reboots, and now whatever rom I flash wont even get past the boot animation, anyone ever heard this happening before, or better yet, know how to fix this?

Sorry for the long paragraph.
[HTC Excalibur] raash11:
Hi all,

Firstly I would like to say thanks for a great forum which has improved my experience of using this phone.

I have managed to upgrade to the most recent HTC rom though this website and have also tried out many of the other ROM's on my previous MDA Vario (HTC Wizard). So overall, I guess I am trying to say that I'm not a total noob.

However, the only problem I'm seem to be having is with my MMS & GPRS settings. I have searched the forums and entered in the UK T-Mobile settings for MMS & GPRS but I still cannot get it to work. I receive the message 'Error Synchronizing". I have also tried sending a picture message through the wireless internet connection rather than WAP but still to no avail.

I would appreciate any help or advice. (sorry for the long post)

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chriggsiii:
My normal browsing experience frequently involves clicking media links that trigger third-party players. In particular, I click links for video files or audio files that play in VLC primarily. How do I integrate VLC into the Silk or Firefox browsing experience on the Fire TV? For example, I want VLC to be triggered as a player whenever I click a link in the Firefox or Silk Fire TV browser that ends in .m3u8.

Thanks in advance for the help. I'm quite surprised that I've hit a brick wall on this; I would have thought it would have been a standard part of the browser setup on the Fire TV, now that Firefox and Silk are both available for it. But apparently it is not.

By the way, I manually installed VLC by itself on the Fire TV and it works O.K. with some exceptions, though I still need to figure out how to integrate it with one or both of my Fire TV browsers. There are a few live video streams which VLC handles fine on my computer but where it has some problems when playing on a Fire TV (specifically, some live video streams use a segmented system, where the stream is not continuous but consists of small video files of ten or fifteen seconds, followed by another file of the same length, followed by another file of the same length, etc. etc. This segmented steaming system works fine in VLC on my computers but when these streams play back in VLC on the Fire TV, you can see the breaks/interruptions as each segment finishes playing and VLC loads up the next one). So I guess I'm also in the market for another video streaming player for my Fire TV, in addition to the VLC player, specifically a video player that can better handle segmented streaming in the Fire TV environment. Though I guess that second question may belong in a separate thread perhaps. (By the way, I just discovered that the VLC player does NOT have this problem on my regular plain vanilla LG Tribute HD phone (Android version 6.0.1) with live segmented streams. The VLC player's problem with live segmented streams seems to be confined to the Fire TV. Problem on the Fire TV or with VLC?)

Long story short, I soft bricked my device trying to flash Resurrection Remix nougat. I got the tablet back to stock kitkat with flash tool. I unlocked the bootloader.

Now I'm in the dark about how I re-root and get to a version of twrp that will work with nougat. It's been so long since I messed with this device I don't remember what I did to get it to stock lollipop with an old version of twrp. I can't really find any straightfoward tutorials on xda.

[Droid Pro General] ch3mn3y:
I was on CM7 for sometime, but got into problems and thought about "restarting" the device.

So i flashed Argentinian 2.3.6 stock (4.5.2).

However I forgot to Wipe data and now it seems I'm in bootoop.

However I cannot boot into stock recovery. Using Power+R+M till M logo boots the OS and if I keep the button pushed for longer, it just... boot Android... however it takes longer to move from M logo to M bootanimation.

Any idea?

I know it's abandoned forum, but maybe there is someone here?

PS. Flashed it already few times.

Is there any other way to Wipe? ADB or Fastboot?
