[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] luchardi:
Did you check the oem unlock enable in the devmenu?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] ramesh lg:
im facing same problem.. tried more than 20 time flashing through EDL mode but no luck.

AKC count doesn't match problem has solved with using beta version of Miflash tool. But even after successful flashing different versions of ROM my phone is not booting up.

I can see this:

reinstall the official ROM and then try with all basics like allow oem unlock and usb debugging in doveloper option and then unlock oem
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] KajaSilber09:
This command has never worked for me in experience, you have to open the device and short the test points.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] KajaSilber09:
Pretty sure your best option is edl reflash. I had the same issue, edl reflash fixed it.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] kingmikel:
Hey guys I'm thinking of switching from the Pixel 2 XL to the OnePlus 6.

Some of the reasons I'm thinking of switching is that I miss having the headphone jack. It's gotten quite annoying not having it. I don't take many pictures, so I'm not too concerned with the camera downgrade. Price is definitely a big deal. I can sell my Pixel on Swappa and essentially break even. If I wait til the Pixel 3 and trade mine in, I still have to come up with 300-400 to upgrade. If I switch the the OnePlus 6, I'm getting the latest specs, extra RAM at pretty much no cost.

What do you guys think? Wanna help me decide?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] manasgirdhar:
I came from the HTC U Ultra, and for me atleast the One Plus turned out to be a really good investment. I also switched in part to the Headphone jack, and extra RAM. I do like he the phone so far, and found the camera to be on par with my HTC phone if not a bit better. The only complaint I have is I find the speaker , and vibration quite weak as compared to my HTC. In the end, the specs are quite good for the price :)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
I've been a 2XL owner since January and I just bought the 6.

The 6 has a much worse vibration motor than the 2XL; to me at least, it is a huge difference and I really dislike the feel of the motor on the 6.

Colours/screen however, looks better to me on the 6, despite having a lower resolution - colours are more vibrant and no screen issues that many users report on the 2XL.

Performance is better on the 6 and that is a bit obvious I know, but I was shocked at the difference - it's actually noticable! Apps launch insanely fast while the 2XL is still stuck on that same app's splash screen.

The camera is not great at all in my opinion (on the 6). I could even go as far as saying it's slightly below average. Maybe it's because the Pixel's camera has spoiled me. You mentioned this isn't an important thing to you so you should be fine in this department.

I have all Bluetooth accessories, including headphones, so a headphone jack isn't necessary for me, but for your needs, it seems like another plus! (No pun intended lol).

Not sure if custom development (ROMs, kernels, etc.) are important, but OnePlus should have a lot more of that than the Pixels.

And finally, the biggest "feature" is the price - OnePlus is the clear winner here as well (especially for what you get in return).

I hope this helps make your decision a bit more clear:)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] venkig:
I'm using pixel 2 XL as my primary phone and this device as my secondary phone.

I'll never keep one plus 6 as my primary device cos I'm into photography. The only reason I have this for dash charging and dual SIM. Also I'm a digital nomad and I carry multiple devices. I retired my LG G4 which was an excellent shooter and was my back up device, now that's been replaced with one plus 6.

The extra specs and Ram doesn't really scream performance when you pit it against pixel 2 XL. One plus reduces all the animations to make the device faster but it doesn't have a very noticeable performance than my pixel.

I'm not bothered with the notch.

If you have the budget do both and you'll be happy. Else get this device and play around with both and sell what you think doesn't work for you.

My pixel is very dear to me so I would never think of replacing it with any other device. Also with one plus you lose the water proof thinge!!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] kingmikel:
I can see how the speaker and vibration could be bothersome. I love my Pixel 2 XL speakers, but I don't get to use them much because I'm at work or out a lot, and headphones would definitely come in handy. I have some Bluetooth headphones, but I have a lot more regular headphones that I have in my backpack, laying around at work, etc. It definitely seems worth the price!

It definitely helps! I've seen plenty of reviews where the reviewers say that the Pixel is faster. I'm not saying mine is slow, but it definitely hangs on some apps and I just have a hard time believing that the newest processor plus more ram isn't going to be faster than last years with less ram.

You've made great points, I hadn't thought about the screen. I definitely could see how the OnePlus 6 has a better screen! Thanks for your input, it's definitely been helpful :)

I love my Pixel, and I think I'll want the Pixel 3 when it comes out. But price wise for now, it's either sticking with the Pixel 2 XL or going to the OnePlus 6 for a wash. But I hadn't thought using both to see which I like better. I guess I could always return it within the 15 days if I don't like it right?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
I sold my 2 XL a couple of weeks ago in anticipation of the OnePlus 6. I loved my 2 XL but personally found it just slightly too tall and I just couldn't get used to the screen. Even with "Boosted" and "Saturated" color calibrations the 2 XL screen paled in comparison with my wife's Galaxy S9 and my iPhone X (for work).

As for the camera, the 2 XL notably outshines the iPhone X in almost all conditions. Surprisingly, the pictures from my OnePlus 6 really are not that far off from my 2 XL. The OP6 still outperforms the iPhone X camera with much more clear and color accurate photos.

I loved my 2 XL, overall. But the iPhone X really showed me what a well designed bezel-less phone should be. The OP6 is Android's best alternative to that, IMO. The notch never bothered me on my iPhone and it doesn't bother me on my OP6. I'd make the same switch again in a heartbeat. And the best part is that I sold my 2 XL on Swappa for $710. This allowed me to pickup the OP6 (8GB / 128GB), the Nylon Bumper Case + screen protector and still pocket nearly $100.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] tranemonk:
I have both and agree with everything you've said. My biggest disappointment with the OnePlus 6 is the speaker. It's awful. I don't know if I'm going to keep the OnePlus 6. It is substantially faster than the Pixel. :confused:
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] t2jbird:
Switch. I had the 2 XL, S9+, 5T before this. Camera is good but nowhere near the Pixel (neither are the S9+ or 5T), but if that's not your primary focus you'll be happy with the 6 until the Pixel 3 comes out. You'll probably have better resell value than your 2 XL too.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] tranemonk:
I am so torn. I have both phones and have about another week to decide if I'm keeping the OnePlus 6. Even though I have cases on both I just saw this guy who did a drop test and completely shattered the OP6.

Sound on Pixel 2 much better. Speed on OnePlus better.

So difficult to choose. Any ideas?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] intruda119:
People are down playing how bad the camera is. It's 2x worst vs most of phones listed above. Software hopefully will help it.

Speaker is not great for occasional usage. Few things missing in software.

Luckily OnePlus holds there value. especially next few weeks plus 15 return window to try out.

Phone is very fast and ultimately stock Android. Haven't had any issues with day to day usage. Think it's a decent upgrade till the pixel 3 comes out.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] mackentosh:
Sold my 2xl an hour's to the money back I paid for this op6 and I already miss it ?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Goronok:
What about it do you miss?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] B3501:
Don't choose the OP6 over the 2XL. It's a big downgrade, from the camera to the screen resolution to the terrible speaker to the vibration motor.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] mackentosh:
The design, the camera, and the fact that it's pure Android ?

---------- Post added at 01:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 AM ----------

Only thing I haters about both phones is that there is no wireless charging ? but the OnePlus gestures are terrific
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] mastibeta:
Much prefer my OP6 over my pixel 2 xl.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] tranemonk:
Why? I'm still waffling.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] mastibeta:
I love the screen, the speed is unmatched, and the form factor is more pleasant to hold. Also a big fan of the nav system in Oxygen OS.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] djdadi:
I disagree that it's 2x worst most phones. It's not even 2x worse than most flagships. I've seen several pics where it outshines the iPhone x or s9. The problem, in my eyes, is consistency. I'll take 4 pics and get 4 different results. 3 of them will be over-sharpened so much there is noticeable halos if you zoom in, etc. But it *can* take good pics, which leads me to believe with software (or Gcam!!!), we'll be money.

Also, the video is above average for sure. Once they get the focus hunting dealt with that is.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] tranemonk:
I completely agree with you about the speed and form factor. My biggest hesitation is the speaker and volume.

I've heard conflicting things about whether it can be improved with a software patch or if we're stuck with a hardware problem.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] mastibeta:
I don't use the phone as a loud speaker, I have Google home devices as well as Bluetooth speakers. That said it's plenty loud enough for me to play games or watch videos.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] BoboBrazil:
I have both, but think I'm going to stick with the 2 XL. The stereo speakers, day 1 updates, waterproofing, bigger battery, and camera are all reasons to choose the 2 XL. The speed difference wasn't really noticeable to me. It is much easier to hold though.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] JedixJarf:
I just made the same swith, sold my xl2 on swappa last week. The phone is decent, just remember it isn't bane stock Android pixelness and you'll be fine. I do have the ruthless launcher installed though to make me feel a little more at home. Also the navbars suck and like to stay white everywhere.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] intruda119:
It has to be extremely perfect. Today being memorial day, hung out with the family. Took 50 plus pictures of family , with majority being of my 3 year old. Since last year I've used pixel 2 xl, note 8, Nexus 6p, essential phone, honor 7x/mate se, mate 8/9 and OnePlus 6(my first and last). OnePlus underperforms against all of them consistently. This is out of box without tons of updates(-6p).

I personally didn't expect pixel 2 xl or note 8 quality. I would prefer my updated 6p vs the op6 at this moment. I'm no photographer but I don't work in perfect lighting/situations but I expect the camera to be at least decent more than 50% of the time. Majority of my photos today are blurry and no edge detection on portrait mode. Everything is grainy. Just being honest feel like I'm shooting with the honor 5x or 7x. Like a 2-300 phone.

Assuming software update will fix the focusing issue but can't believe this company shipped the phone like this. Knowing it's going to get picked apart like crazy.

Not a rant swear. Camera on the pixel is not good enough for me to ignore the screen. If you can afford it, maybe international note 8 if you don't mind size.

I believe in software update but OnePlus forum got me feeling like it's months down the line.

Just had to mute whole kitchen and living room to use speaker to show off a quick video. It's bad.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Muntasir Mahmud Saif:
it can be changed..i also faced worst vibration motot and notification light coming from note 8
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] masi0:
I have also switched from 2XL to OP6

+ screen is definitely much better/brighter on OP6, not as sharp altough as 2XL but very decent

+ call quality is good on both, except the coverage is better on OP6, i have it in areas i had no signal with 2XL

+ camera... hmmmm 2XL is definitely sharp camera with decent portrait mode, i did some photos with OP6 and well, maybe i am blind but i see no huge/big/whatever difference between two (except one is cheaper)

- speaker on OP6 is equally pitiful as stereo speakers on 2XL, only good for ringtones and alerts... and some YT view

- still can't tell about battery life, after 1st charge on OP6 its mediocre, 20 hours with 3,5h screen on. on other hand first few charges with 2XL also did not gave good battery life. it stabilized after 5-6 charges and I hope same will be with OP6

- i have wifi issue on OP6. when policy is NEVER then wifi has issues to re-enable when turning on screen. however 2XL had removed this feature as well months ago,so perhaps it is google issue

but so far - so good
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] hellsoft:
Im really surprised nobody mentioned about silky smooth user experience on pixel 2. I bought op6 2 days ago and im returning it back as I cant ignore all stutterings in some apps that have had never any issues on my pixel 2xl. ie AliorBank app, BOI app, also chrome stutters a lot comparing to Pixel 2. If you're looking for a buttery smooth experience dont swap for op6. Event if its faster with opening apps... I miss my pixel 2xl but I hated the screen and its plastic feeling
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] tranemonk:
Interesting. I have almost the opposite experience. My Pixel Xl 2 routinely got laggy while the OnePlus 6 doesn't. Especially when it comes to scrolling.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] jayr04:
I want to get an OP6 but you guys are swaying me away. Guess I'll keep my 2XL
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] tranemonk:
It's a very difficult call for me.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] intruda119:
If you are happy wait for pixel 3 xl. Phone has a long road of updates like every other phone. Sadly a few things can't be fixed.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] malek777:
XDA did a comparison of the oneplus 6 against the pixel 2, and the pixel is much more fluid. The shortened animations is what makes the 6 iseem faster.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] jwoody86:
To be fair, while they were able to determine a quantifiable difference in fluidity, they did mention that it would almost not be noticeable by anyone in use.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] masi0:
...because this was subjective judgement :)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Shebee:
I'm looking for an upgrade from the 5x, I'm the kind of person that likes to keep a phone for around 2 years, I like to play around and if I need a feature I might look into alternative roms.

I haven't felt the need to flash other roms in my 5x though..

I like the 2 XL better on paper, but the 700€ vs 530€ price can't be ignored..

I can't decide whether to get the OP6, go for the Pixel 2 XL, or wait for the Pixel 3..

I do appreciate a good camera, vibration motor and speakers, but a good performing phone (smoothness etc) is slightly more important.

I guess what I'm saying is that I have 2 concerns

1) 700€ is a high price considering the Pixel 3 is coming soon

2) 4GB RAM is cutting it close for the coming 2 years.

Any tips would be appreciated..
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Namolas:
Just my personal opinion. I have a Pixel 2 XL. I am subscribed to this thread just because I was considering picking up a OnePlus 6 just to play with, NOT to replace my Pixel 2 XL, until the Pixel 3 drops. I've always carried 2 devices but just recently sold my Note 8, Galaxy s8+ and iPhone 7 Plus. Now all I have left is my Pixel 2 XL and I am feeling a bit antsy.

If I personally were in your shoes and didn't already have the P2XL, I would buy the OnePlus 6 now and use it until the Pixel 3 drops. Sell the OnePlus 6 and use the money towards the Pixel 3.

I would not keep the OnePlus 6 for a full 2 years. Pixel 3 is too close to consider buying a Pixel 2 at this point.

OnePlus make great phones for the price but I have never had a OnePlus that I would consider keeping for 2 full years. If you are looking for support for a full 2 years Pixel is the way to go IMO.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] vibrantliker:
I have both Pixel 2 xl and now OP6. I don't know what everybody is complaining about with the vibration. Mine is stronger than the Pixel 2 xl.

I like the size of the OP6 better and the buttons (power, volume) are easier to feel as they protrude a bit more. Can barely feel on the Pixel 2. Battery is better on the Pixel 2 xl, and of course camera but I really like the OP6.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] tranemonk:
Interesting. I found the battery life on the OnePlus 6 better than any other phone I've used.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] vibrantliker:
Pixel 2 xl battery is bigger.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] daniel4653:
I have much better battery life on the 1+6 than the pixel 2 XL. Bigger battery doesn't instantly mean better battery life.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Muntasir Mahmud Saif:
how come 3h is a good battery life?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Shebee:
One thing that I have to consider as well is price, buying a OP6 now, selling it for let's say 400, and then dropping another 400 + on a Pixel 3 (non XL), is spending ~930 in total, over the 700 for the Pixel 2 XL.

I don't know, I'm torn between waiting and going for the XL :/

Assuming that the Pixel 3 (non XL) will cost the same at launch as the Pixel 2, it's only a 100€ discount for the 2 XL.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Namolas:
Well, I will say I absolutely adore my Pixel 2 XL and if the Pixel 3 XL has that thick notch and giant chin (as expected) I'll be hanging onto my 2XL a while longer.

Good luck with whatever you decide.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] daniel4653:
It's actually 4 hours of SOT, with nearly 33 hours of wake time. This was my first run with the 1+6 which included setting up the phone by downloading appx 110 apps and signing into most.
