[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] lima002:
I think the screen it's good I don't have a lot of blue shift, but I think you must pay attention to the 4gb of ram , I have 4 mobiles and 3 of them are 4 and 3 GB of ram and they suffer a lot on multitasking.

And now I have a one plus 5t with 6gb of ram and that's much better.

By the phones are , Google pixel 2 xl, s8+ , ipx .

But the rest you're be good with pixel 2 XL , speed , fast updates, by the way the android P its right on the corner;)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] allweknowisa:
I purchased the pixel 2 xl 15 days ago and yes, it has blue shift, but no more defects or burn in. My aunt has a S8 and I'd recommend the pixel 2 over the S8.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Goog1e Phone:
In my opinion, blue shift is overrated. Burn in issues seemed to be solved. Only the first batch at launch seem to be affected. Plus Google gives you a 2 year warranty so that should give you some peace of mind.

My girlfriend has the iPhone X and my roommate has the Note8. I highly recommend the Pixel 2 XL over both the phones.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Scott:
Agreed about the blue shift. Way over criticized. I only notice it when... I read someone post something about it then I go look, say to myself, yep, its there, then continue on like nothing at all.

However, if I was buying a phone right now, I would hold off until I can hold the S9+ in my hands. With most sites saying its just a refreshed S8+ I would prolly pass and stay with Pixel.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] djcrystals:
This phone is top notch. Switched from the S8+. No looking back.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] simpsonr:
I'll weigh in:

I just got mine last week (third week of Feb '18) via a Best Buy deal. The phone was built in Oct of '17. I was coming from a Note5 which I really loved.

Lots of things to like, a few things to niggle naggle about and a few things to really hate.

Likes:

Oreo 8.1+

Squeeze Assistant

Fingerprint reader gestures

Google Lens - It's amazing.

Camera. Just wow.

Lots of things you can customize without root (via ADB)... You can move the nav buttons around, etc...

Battery life is simply great. I get 4+ hours of screen time and can go 8+ hours while sleeping and only loose a percentage or two. It's quite amazing actually.

Dislikes:

Not a fan of the fingerprint reader on the back... to use it, you always have to pick up the phone... on other models where the reader is on the front, you can unlock the phone while it's flat on the table or work desk or whatever. Having it on the back does have some upsides though... so this one isn't a big deal.

Not a fan of the power button and volume keys all being on the same side and so close together... I find myself pressing one when I mean the other.

Rounded corners on the screens... seems like a good idea aesthetically but you actually loose a fair amount of real estate... for example, the status bar icons are moved in a fair amount to compensate for the rounded corners so you get a lot of black space to the left and right of the ends in the status bar... I would never sacrifice function for form like that. Dumb.

Blue shift. It's there... not a big deal but it's there.

Hate:

Extremely long charging times. Just to go from 90 to 100% is like an hour++. This is in NO way a quick charging phone.

No charging LED indicator. Boo. I did load an app for that but Boo.

No wireless charging. Boo and boo.

Double Hate:

Screen protectors are a nightmare with this device. I've never had such issues finding decent, inexpensive protector that doesn't curl, bubble, etc... and I can't find any quality tempered glass protectors. There are a couple liquid adhesive protectors out there but they cost 1 arm and 1 leg. Really?

I'm really hoping the charging time issue can be fixed in a future OS update. It seems that this started happening after the Feb '18 update. We'll see.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Jinthegodstyle:
I was going to give mine to try an iPhone X and then to come back to pixel but i have felt in love with this device.. Blue shift exists a little bit but I had forget that issue.. I agree with the charging time that sucks from 90-100% but overall it's an fantastic device.. On mine i have deleted nav bar, i use only gestures and its a pleasure all this huge screen with these nice rounded corners..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] simpsonr:
Can you give some details on your nav bar deletion decision? Do you have to root for that? What launcher, Nova? How to you get your recents, back, home functionality and map them to gestures?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Jinthegodstyle:
Yes I am rooted. I am using nova launcher but it doesn't matter. I used all in one gestures app from play store. The nav bar hide automatically if you don't use it. You can set it on premesive mode threw app. But now i have deleted at all nav bar with an command on build editor and i use only gestures.

Here I made a video month ago how I had it and how will work. (now it's totally different :p)

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] simpsonr:
Thx!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Phazonclash:
I purchased mine 3 weeks ago, it was produced in November 2017, and the screen doesn't have any of all the issues reported right and left.

It has a very slight blue tint maybe when you look at it at an angle... but you know what? My Galaxy S7 edge has it too. AMOLED displays HAVE blue shift, no technology is perfect.

I'm pretty happy with mine. I'm far from being your typical Google/Nexus/Pixel apologist, but after having Samsung flagship phones for years, I can honestly say the Pixel 2 XL is the best phone I've ever owned :good:

It doesn't have all the bells and whistles a Galaxy or Note has, but it works so great, without any issue. Everything with this phone feels silky smooth, without a single dropped frame. Everything you try to run looks "effortless" and easy for the Pixel. I'm amazed by that phone
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] hatdrc:
You don't have to root to get rid of the nav bar. There is a Substratum theme that changes the nav bar to any size you want including 0. I found it here on XDA. I'll see if I can find it and link to it when I get home.

*edit

Here is a link for the nav bar height

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/mod-navbar-height-changer-android-nougat-t3447956/page1

and here is one I use to fix the lock screen swipe issue

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jordy787:
I just sold my 7 plus and received my pixel 2 xl yesterday. The blue shift isn't bad, it's only noticable to the person on the side of you looking at your screen. Screen quality doesn't seem bad but colors may be dull to some. There is a Oreo colorizer app that will force the display in wide color gamut mode which richens up the color. Google does offer a new vivid saturated display mode but that app works way better. Only thing I don't like is how Snapchat looks like poo.. which it does on every Android but yeah.. this is probably the best camera quality you will get on Snapchat Android due to visual core enhancing the photos which does a pretty damn good job!

On a cold rainy cloudy dark Washington day, camera doesn't look as nice as what my iPhone 7 plus would've took with it's camera..

Hello everybody,

I have a Zenfone 2 Selfie with Nougat 7.1.2 installed.

Since I own an Asus phone I 'm used to their apps, such as the Gallery.

Today I noticed that when I try to move any photo or video from that app I see a pop-up saying "Permission Denied".

How do I fix that?

Am I missing something?

Anyone has the latest(released Feb 16th) oreo OTA full stock firmware from T-Mobile?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] davehasninjas:
I tried pulling it from a logcat. Was going to fastboot flash it since I can't install it while rooted. Every url I found in the logcat gave me a 405 error though.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] droidgreg:
I got another Moto Z2 Force today. Fresh out of the box TMO. Came with the OCX27. I have not yet taken the update. If someone can guide me on how to extract the OTA That'd be helpful. Only thing I am willing to do so far with this new device is unlock the bootloader that's it. I will not root or install TWRP until I can extract the OTA and attempt to fix my other device stuck in an unknown baseband no IMEI state. I got there by attempting to install TWRP and root with Magisk.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Uzephi:
Pulling the log through ADB will yield the OTA download link. That's how [MENTION=3659125]joemossjr[/MENTION] and I grabbed the Oreo update from nougat for TMO and Sprint.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] droidgreg:
Step by step instructions would be appreciated.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Uzephi:
It's hard to explain. You have to capture the moment the phone grabs the OTA file from Motorola's update website.

Enable developer options

Enable ADB

Plug phone up to a PC that has updated ADB binaries

Open terminal/command prompt

Adb shell

Logcat

After you do that your terminal of choice will start spitting out the log.

Run the system updater.

Download the OTA. At that moment, one of the logs should give you a VERY long URL. That's the download link you're looking for.

Copy and paste into your browser. You should be auto downloading it.

Done
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] joesee:
Very stupid question, but I have to ask, because Moto is a bit wonky on bootloaders and updates, etc.

I'm currently on OCX27 and I've got the notification to download OCX27.1. I do have an unlocked bootloader and I am rooted with Magisk. Since I have not overwritten the recovery partition, can I take this update? On most other phones I have, I've been able to restore the stock recovery partition, flash the update, and flash TWRP back on, but on this Moto, I chose to boot twrp for loading magisk via adb. Make sense? If I'm not able to take this update, can I shut these update notifications off? They are already off in dev options. :(

Thanks in advance!
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] charlatan01:
I used titanium backup to freeze the update service as it's named in the notification.

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] climbhigh77:
Did you get your second Z2 rooted and if so did you use magisk v16? I just got a Z2 today that is on the December 1, 2017 security patch, OCX27.1, Android 8.00 and I'd like to root but hesitant. I have already unlocked the bootloader, placed magisk and twrp-3.2.1-1-nash zip(s) in internal storage, and know how to fastboot boot into recovery, I just don't want to brick my new phone. Any help with step by step instructions once I'm in TWRP to flash magisk is greatly appreciated! Do I need to do any of the following: Keep system read only or allow modifications before flashing magisk? wipe data/factory reset, mount storage, wipe cache and dalvik after flashing? Thanks in advance!
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] DsturbD:
All you need to do is grab the latest twrp img and zip file from twrp. Should be version 3.2.1-1

Then fastboot boot the img file, then once in twrp you want to flash the zip file, then when that is done reboot back into recovery

Then simply flash Magisk and reboot. Done.

How should I properly Flash Stock Firmware?

New to Moto phones and wondering what the correct method is for reverting to stock? I downloaded the 27.1 Oreo zip from this thread, do I flash it in twrp or should I flash it in adb from the bootloader? I get the following error message in twrp whenever I wipe dalvik/cache, try to install a zip, or do a backup which always says fail. I need a fresh install and re root, etc. Thank you!!
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] mattlowry:
you can not flash with twrp. open the zip and see if there is a "flash-all.bat" file as well as adb and fastboot files. if not then pull them from one of the other flashall zips and add them to 27.1 zip. boot your phone to the bootloader, connect usb cable to your device and pc, then run the .bat file.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] climbhigh77:
Factory reset gets the same error message shown in the attached photo. Thanks for the info, unfortunately I'm still a bit confused. Is this the only method to return to stock? I've searched but I'm not finding much and this method is completely new to me. In the past I've used Odin and LG up with my other devices, this is my first motorola. If I wipe internal storage in twrp will that erase the OS and need a new install? I am thinking that may clear up my issues but nervous that the phone won't boot up after that. Thanks and my apologies for my noob questions.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] mattlowry:
unfortunately other than manually fastbooting each img file to your phone this is the only way. check out this https://xdaforums.com/z2-force/how-to/to-stock-roms-t3672859
