[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] djcrystals:
I miss flashing too. I had a ton of freedom on the Moto X Pure. Moving to the S8+ and all of it's restrictions has been tough. I think the S8+ is a beautiful phone but too locked down for this flashaholic. I'm assuming the whole "screen" issue with the Pixel 2 is negligible?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mgymnop:
I had the S8+ before. The quality of the device was more premium but the software on the S8+ sucked. I just hated Bixby, the half baked iris scanner and the bloated software in general. I never used any of the Samsung-specific apps like calendar, health, music...For me they are just redundant apps. Glad to have a pure Android again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
While it's not the S8+, prior to owning my 2XL I had an S8 for about 4 months.

- The S8 (and S8+) screen is considerably more crisp, with better clarity and better colors.

- Wireless charging with the S8 is something I miss every single day.

- Touchwiz has become surprisingly great. Over my 4 months of usage, the phone never lagged/stuttered once.

But...

- The front facing speakers on the 2XL are fantastic.

- The fingerprint reader on the 2XL is placed in a MUCH better spot.

- The 2XL camera is notably better in every day usage.

While I do miss some things from the S8, I have no regrets about switching to the 2XL. Especially because even though Touchwiz is perfectly snappy these days, you still can't beat the smoothness and overall feel of pure Android on the 2XL.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] djcrystals:
Man, I REALLY appreciate the feedback so far. This is def making my decision easier. My S8+ is Mint condition so it shouldn't be much of an investment switching. I'm a HUGE fan of Swappa. It's been years since I've bought a "brand new" phone. I was originally leaning towards the V30 but that idea totally faded. Rumors are around that the S9 will have dual speakers, BUT...... obviously still too locked down.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MacTheRipperr:
My S8+ just got shipped out today to it's new owner. I couldn't be happier. I wouldn't say the Samsung has "better" colors. It's just more saturated and I'm sure we all appreciate that in Samsung devices. But this phone amazing. I said it in another thread. My S8+ was like a Ferrari with a bad tune. Make it look pretty and go fast, and put all these Bells and whistles on it. But the tune is bad your milage is going to tank and it leads to lag. This phone may not be the most aesthetically pleasing. But its got the same internals. I never used to understand why people complained about lag in Samsung phones until I tried my pixel. I'm not sure if I'll go back lol.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Gilley:
Yeah hands down this is the best phone i've owned. The "problems" everyone is talking about I would guess 75% of the people who talk about them would have never noticed them or made a big deal if they didnt read reviews on it
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
I had a V30 for 3 weeks when it was first released on T-Mobile. Sadly, thanks to LGs meddling in Android's smooth and simple user experience, the phone is garbage.

The hardware is great, it has wireless charging, and the phone has excellent 'in hand' feel. But the UI ruins the whole experience. No matter how much myself, and many others in the V30 sub forum, tried to de-bloat the phone, it still lagged and stuttered constantly in normal usage.

The amount of unnecessary, redundant background services that LG added into the OS on the V30 is mind boggling. Also, the camera is just "OK" compared to my S8 and 2 XL. And there is no unlocking/rooting the carrier locked versions of the V30. So custom AOSP ROMs are out of the question for that phone.

It's such a shame because the phone had such great potential and I'd even argue that if that V30 just had simple, untouched, pure Android it would be just as good as the 2XL, substituting wireless charging for the best in class camera and dual front facing speakers for better in hand feel.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] djcrystals:
That is sad to hear about the V30. I was super pumped reading about it prior to its release. Thanks for the info [MENTION=2781818]sn0warmy[/MENTION]. I make a habit of checking past and possibly future phones and their dedicated threads here on XDA. It is fun to see where all the action is. There are most def some dedicated people working on the Snapdragon S8+/S8 forums but you can sense some frustration when it comes to the limitations being imposed by the carriers. What REALLY sucks is you are intertwined with the international version folks whom have the ability to unlock and use custom recovery. Of course, that's the case with many of the phones nowadays. Anyhew, I am def excited to be jumping ship here and switching units. You guys have def help increased my excitement level.

I have the note 8 & pixel 2 XL. Both have pros & cons.

Pixel camera is better

Pixel Battery is better

Pixel speakers are better

Note has wireless charging

There is a module which I really need for my device:

https://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/mod-disable-desk-dock-t2526496

It was originally developed for Jelly bean, but another user compiled it for both Lollipop and Marshmallow.

Now I have been trying to compile it for Xposed SDK 24 and 25, but with no luck. I have some developer skills and I have spent a lot of time reading all the Xposed documentation and experiment with modifying the module to work with Nougat.

Now my device is running 8.1 so an version that is working with SDK 27 would be the best.

I am not asking anyone to do all the work but some directions or info on how to do this project would be really appreciated. Thanks!

My phone keeps freezing on this green windows mobile screen, and no matter how many times i reset nothing happens. I have to do a hard reset in order to get the phone working again. It happens often whenever i turn the phone off and on or change out the battery. Any idea? I am running the stock ATT rom, without the added junk (after i do i reset and it starts installing the extra apps i soft reset the phone). I installed the stock kaiser htc home plug in and thats about it.

this happened to me just two days ago. phone froze up and wouldnt start. i had to do a hard reset.

hold both softkeys and use the stylus to reset the phone. (hole at the bottom of phone).

this will do a hard reset.

it sucks that you dont have a sprit back up of all your data. i have several checkpoints of my data. i suggest you do the same if you do decide to hard reset.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tonydt1g3r:
I do have backups, and it continues to happen. I finally just reinstalled all my apps today without restoring a backup to see if it helps but I doubt it.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kyphur:
Did you upgrade from the original 1.57 at&t Rom to the recently released 1.62 at&t Rom?

If so are your restoring a backup from the 1.57 Rom onto the 1.62 Rom. That is a no-no....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] asfoor:
Remove your SD card and do a soft reboot. If it still hangs, then it is a ROM issue. If it boots OK then there is a program on your SD card that the device is having problems with, in either linking to or opening.

Copy all the SD card files and programs on your PC. Format the SD card. Start installing the programs one at a time and see which program is the culprit. Remove it and all those that add to the problem.

If you were happy with the original ROM, then do not change to another.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] asfoor:
Hey Kyphur.. good to see you here.. What else can you do to avoid keeping remnants of the previous ROM? How can you avoid restoring a back-up?.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kyphur:
That's a loaded question. Personally I have the cab files for all of my programs on my storage card. I've consolidated some useful programs into a single cab and modified most cabs to install into a cleaner start menu structure.

Then I use KaiserTweak to set the few remaining Reg settings that I don't have already set in my cooked Rom.

My today plugins (PocketBreeze, PocketWeather & iLauncher) all have import/export functions so I use that so I don't have to reconfigure them every time.

Finally I have an Exchange Server account for my contacts and e-mails.

Ok i have a mxq 4k box and i have a problem with netflix.

I was using the stock app that came with the mxq box (netflix. v.4.10) and it doesn't work all the time .

It displays and error when i try to log in (could not reach netflix service (-2). ) And it can repeat the error for the whole day.

When i finnaly manage to log it works ok but after some time it displays "could not load data" and i googled the error . It says i need to update the app but when i do that and try to install the apk i get "your device isn't compatible"

Is there a way to modify the apk from the newest version to work with mxq.

The guy that sold it to me said he was working on getting it unlocked and im prayinh he comes through. If I understand what Ive read so far I should be able to flash it over to Verizon while its locked, just that it will still be locked afterwards which is fine. Is that true? Will I encounter any issues or would I be better off waiting until its unlocked first?

And if anyone knows an easy way to unlock it im all ears. Thanks a bunch.

This could be a hard brick or soft brick? Honestly not even sure, because I can't fix the issue regardless. Attempted to unlock my bootloader, which the device restarts, and SDK says worked but it doesn't. Also, on the boot screen (volume down+power) it says BL: N/A and Baseband: N/A so I'm a bit concerned. None of the options work (to get to recovery, or bootloader, etc.) it just puts me in what I THINK is a bootloop? But the screen just stays black, and sometimes there's a white flashing light on the TOP part of the screen. Idfk what's happening, and I've never seen this before. Was just using my device, and then this stuff happened. Pictures:
