[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] sreejit.2011:
I am not a direct Pixel user, but one of my friends has the Pixel 2. Right off the top, I will mention that the camera and the stereo speakers are phenomenal. But everything else, not so much. The only thing I would like to suggest here is that Google removes the 'Squeeze' feature. It is so darn gimmicky. He doesn't even use it. Also removing that might reduce the cost by a bit and may also help in getting thinner bezels. I can only guess that removing the squeeze might allow them to curve the display on the edges to get a more Infinity Edge like display, which most, if not all of us like better than some gimmicky squeeze feature. Also, the main purpose of the notch(rumored on the Pixel 3) is defeated if there is a huge chin on the bottom. Instead, they can put a little notch on the bottom and add a stereo speaker there. That will be a different design rather than the same iPhone X copy like designs we see everywhere. Those will more 2018 like qualities, the year of revolutionary designs(Find X, Nex).

We are progressing towards a world of seamless operation. Bezels are being removed so that we actually forget about the smartphone itself and get immersed in the experience. Wireless charging, the same thing, we don't have to act physically with the chordage to charge our phones, charging simply happens when we put it away. Water resistance, we don't have to take care of our smartphones separately in a rain or underwater. They work with us seamlessly under water. Even face unlock so that we don't even have to touch the mobile to unlock it, besides being "Safer". Such should be the idea with the squeeze feature. It WILL die in the next couple of years, if not this year itself.

My point here is, we have to act physically with the squeeze feature. That just pushes us in the opposite direction of the progress in technology we are making. We have to physically act with the smartphone, in a world where we are having to interact lesser and lesser with our smartphone and everything is becoming seamless. I can bet that the Squeeze feature WILL be a flop if Google continues to pursue it in vain. They should instead do some cost-cutting so that the device Pixel 3 becomes more available to the public and definitely double down on their quality control. Hope a Google launches a customer friendly phone in 2018 rather than an Android-friendly phone. Will be waiting eagerly to buy this one myself upgrading from the OnePlus 5, if it's actually worth the money.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Cherrystone:
Since you are not a Pixel user how can you speak about features like that? I have a google home so have disabled voice match on my pixel. I use the squeeze function all the time and find it one of the benefits of my phone. As with all features ymmv but I would be disappointed if squeeze was removed.

Welcome to XDA... enjoy the forum. Too early to worry! :eek:
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Large Hadron:
Many people absolutely do not want a Samsung-style curved edge display. If that is what you want, why not just buy a Samsung?

Personally I don't use the squeeze feature, but only because Google artificially limit it to just being a virtual Bixby Button and I don't find Google Assistant useful to me. But if I did use Assistant I'd probably prefer that to reciting some hotword or long-pressing the home button, so overall I'd still count it a pro to have it. And there are plenty of other things you could do with it that would be useful to different people, but you need to root to do that. So letting people choose what to do with it would be a better solution (a couple of pressure sensors will add very little to the cost of the device, by the way).

I also don't understand what you mean by the word "seamless", which is a vague enough word that different people could use it to mean completely different things (and you seem to use it for unrelated things yourself). But you seem to have an aversion to touching a phone to control it, but touch remains the primary interaction for typing messages, launching and controlling apps, selecting focus targets in photos, whatever, so I don't see any big advantage in removing options (and using voice control for all of that would make public spaces a nightmare).

I also don't see the sense in your argument that not touching a fingerprint scanner is some huge advantage: I can use my FP scanner to unlock my phone when I start to pull it from my pocket, so any face recognition system is slower and more intrusive to my operation. Sure, add face recognition in addition if you want, but more options are better than choosing what you like and forcing everyone to use that (or buy from someone else).
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mikeynavy1:
While I agree that the bezels are too big (top/bottom) some bezel is needed...I would rather have a little bezel with front-firing speakers than the alternative (no bezel except for camera and bottom-firing speakers). I also do not like the curved displays. They make it near impossible to get a good screen protector on. Gorilla Glass 5 reviews are not good when it comes to durability (scratches) and I'd rather wear the oleophobic coating off of a screen protector (that can be replaced) than the actual screen. I may be in the minority but my ideal phone design is a thin, simple rectangle, with flat screen and small bezels (for speakers). Performance (screen, battery life, speed, sound) are a lot more important to me than curved this and that, glass back, etc.

Not a Pixel 2 user, hasn't used Pixel 2 features, advises on what people who actively use Pixel 2's features shouldn't be using.

Wow.

I could link you back to your home in the S9 forum, but as someone who has never used the S9 I'm waiting for them to remove the curved edges before I'll use the S9 forum.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] seabro01:
I actually use the squeeze feature/ active edge every day for Google Assistant or to mute calls. Those that don't use active edge can disable it. And it doesn't need to be removed for thinner bezels. I'd address more of your points but most don't even make sense. Seems like you aren't aware that we've seen leaks for the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. The smaller Pixel 3 is supposed to have slimmer bezels than the Pixel 2 and no notch.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] netchicken:
I use the squeeze feature more and more frequently now. Just yesterday out running I made a quick note to myself by just squeezing the phone and talking into it. Inuse it for memos, appointments, reminders. etc

The more you use it the less gimmicky it becomes and the more useful you realise it is. Pick up the phone, squeeze it, talk, whats hard about that?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
One use for the squeeze feature that is never advertised is how you can snooze your alarm with it. Think about it, when you want to sleep for 10 more minutes, why open your eyes to slide your finger across a screen when you can simply squeeze the phone with your eyes closed?

But yes, smaller bezels (no notch and no curved displays) is what we all look forward to with the pixel 3. Third try is the charm.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] dr_cikolata:
Hi there,

I am about to buy an Athena from a friend and luckyly he let me try the machine for a while so that I can decide. So far so good: I have solved the problems related to bt headsets, carrying cases etc. However one last thing bothers me a lot. A love to use the machine with 128 or 196 dpi and hate the big 96dpi view. Most of the software (games, iGO and others) that I have tried to install on the machine did not work properly. I have solved the problem with iGO but I guess I do not have such kind of chance on other softwares. So my question is: Do you face the same difficulties and how do you overcome these problems? If I can clarify this point I will certainly buy the machine.

Hope to hear your opinions

Dr_Cikolata...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
Not an issue for me. 96dpi works great. I don't play game with it though.

There are minor imperfections with some software such as Hicalc, phone application,but these are not serious.

iGo 2006 works fine in 96dpi.
[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] ForMartha:
Hi folks,

I'm into buying a new phone - I would remain with my LG G5 if I wouldn't broke it.

My main requirements are :

1. Decent phone size (P10 plus is the largest I would go for).

2. Good camera

3. Type C + 3.5 headphone jack

4. Potential SW upgrades & live community.

5. ~300USD (I got a deal on the P10 plus so it would fit in).

I would love to hear your voice :)

Thanks folks,

M.

I bought mine in February of this year and I am super satisfied. Good processor, 6 GB Ram, excellent camera, expansion by memory card that allows me to have 256 GB of total memory, good battery life (always between 4 and 5 hours of SOT) with mobile network always on and no type performance limitation. I intend to keep this phone for at least 2 to 3 years. It depends a lot on what you want in your case.

[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] IRPnet:
Hi,

After the most recent update (OTA), when I connect my phone to my PC, regardless of what mode I have the USB set for on the phone, I can no longer connect

to my phone.

It worked flawlessly before.

The Huawei HiSuite also cannot connect (although I don't norm ally use that anyway).

I have tried reinstalling ADB and also HiSuite to no avail.

One thing I do notice is that there was a HDB driver missing. When I rebooted my PC it has now changed to 'USB Composite device' but shows the error

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

{Bad Image}

%hs is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support. Error status 0x

I've tried to automatically install a driver, again no joy. (Because the device is not recognised, it just says it could not a find a suitable driver).

If I uninstall the device and then plug my phone back in we then start with the HDB device (for which there is no driver according to MS), which upon reboot becomes the 'USB Composite device' again.

So, anyone know how I can fix this? I'd like access to my phone through my PC if possible.

TIA (Thanks in Advance)
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] UrbanBushman:
I know it's obvious, but have you tried a different usb port.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] IRPnet:
Yes. Front and back of PC as well through a hub.

It makes a sound like it connects, then I get a popup on my phone "Charge only / Transfer files / Transfer photos" and regardless of which one I select, it then disconnects.

Somewhat annoying. It worked okay before latest update.

I've even reinstalled ADB, even though I'm fairly certain this has nothing to do with it.

Thanks for your reply anyway!
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] IRPnet:
[Solved]

I managed to solve this by plugging in my Honor 9. On the device manager page in Windows take a look at the 'USB Composite Device' item and selecting with an exclamation mark against it and right click it and select"Uninstall device" from the menu. When it asks to remove the driver, select yes. Unplug your phone. Reboot your PC. Upon plugging your phone back in, your device will be re-detected and Windows will install the driver correctly.

Only AEX and GApps but still "Microsoft Company Portal" app says Phone is Rooted

Dear All,

I have installed installed AEX 5.6 along with GApps. There is no Magisk installed. Basically the device in completely unrooted state from my perspective.

Still, when I open "Microsoft Company Portal" app, it says that the device is rooted.

There are threads which talks about scenario when Magisk is installed and then how to have Microsoft Company Portal in a way that it finds it unrooted.

But my scenario is completely different, just a plain AEX and GApps.

Is it something related to the "test-keys" , "release-keys" ?

If yes, then how can I get AEX with "release-keys" ?

Please help.

Amit

May be, Microsoft updated the Root Detection algorithm in "Company Portal" app.
