[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
so I went to best buy this evening to check it out.

unfortunately is was pretty crippled and I could not enable developer options (needed a password), so I couldnt get a full idea of how it looks hidden.

having said that, it really doesnt look as bad as it does in pictures online. however, it is still big.

It is not so visible on home screen if you use a dark wallpaper. Some apps hide it automagically, which keeps the status icons on the top, which is exactly how I wish it would be when hidden. I will probably make a photoshop overlay for wallpapers that will hide the notch with status up high, as I dont really use the live walls or anything like that, though I think devs will figure out a way to do that as well.

Viewing pics and video full screen it (the notch) will bother me very much.

Unfortunately the phone had no internet or cell signal, and of course connectivity settings were not available.

The screen to me is a HUGE improvement over the 2XL it looks fantastic. Even the non-XL was very impressive screen wise. Speakers do indeed sound louder, though I could only play the on-board ringtones etc, which still only preview out of one speaker.

Sadly hard to get a full hands on with it being crippled, but I do feel better about pre-ordering it than I did before I checked it out.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bsg411:
I just saw jonathan morison do a youtube review and mentioned this app.....its a great idea and use of the upper screen space. I was wondering if all the notch hiding will cause any screen burn-in.

That's what I will be doing when I get mine and at least then I can pick and choose between notch/notchless (not crotchless that's something altogether different lol)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] firepong:
Been using Nacho Notch on my 3xl since I got it on Wednesday. Just turned it off to see if there was any difference in color on a white background. Didn't see a thing. Maybe it will the longer it is used, but my phone screen is pretty much on all night because I leave Netflix running when I fall asleep. I'll learn real quick if it does in fact have burn-in or image retention (OLED screen problem).
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
Why do you leave netflix running when you fall asleep?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] firepong:
I usually watch a show when I go to bed. Half the time I fall asleep and wake up realizing I am a few episodes into a series.

Honestly doesn't bother me much (Well, at least it will until I can get root and install an xposed module that cuts charging off and starts charging again when the battery gets slow, or allow you to change the rate at which the phone charges). I used the module on my Pixel 2 XL and the battery was just as good as it was when I first got it 9 months later. Sadly, can't remember the module name, but it makes the chance of reducing your phones battery charge much smaller and livable with.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] babak:
Hello guys, as the title suggests, I would like to watch videos recorded in 4k with 9 notes on my monitor, I know that I need a HDMI cable but I would like a cable and a hub to charge the phone very reliable, and that above all can transmit in 4k, do you have any suggestions?

I do not want unreliable toys, but something serious and tested with our note 9 possibly.
[General Questions and Answers] Sean Price:
Hello All,

trying to get my learn on.. heard about Nethunter and want to throw it on some mobile devices.

Read their page and they strongly recommended and stated the OnePlus One was their recommended device. So I purchased it on eBay and am raring to go but then life interfered.. Almost a year now has gone by since I purchased it.

Fast fwd to about 2 weeks ago.. Out of Nowhere the seller hit me up stating if everything was ok since the phone hasn't been used. I emailed him back thanking him for his concern and stated I was curious as to how he knew it hadn't been used? 2 Weeks and still no reply..

That got me thinking.. maybe this phone has been "COMPROMISED"

#1 How best to verify and confirm I have a clean phone, I have done nothing but sign it on to my WiFI here at home and used it for a total of less than 30mins to test that it worked...

#2 Anyone familiar with Nethunter and have a best practice guide on how to install on a device? Their webpage lists the following, " Our freely downloadable images come with easy to follow installation and setup instructions to get you up and running in no time at all." However I have downloaded several times the img's and these so-called "easy" instructions are now where to be found.. When I google I come across blogs with 50+ steps.. so I just wanna make sure I'm following something decent before I give it WHAT FOR!

please advise!

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The seller probably used the IMEI number to tell if the device had been activated on a network, it wasn't a "hack".

Boot to recovery and factory reset the device, then wipe the cache partition, that should wipe anything on the device, unless there is something hidden in the system partition, factory reset wouldn't remove that. To remove anything in the system partition, you need to flash the full stock firmware on the device. That will return it new like it came out of the box. To flash the firmware, do a Google search for:

"Return to stock (your model number)"
[General Questions and Answers] Sean Price:
Right, it jus funny that the phone was off for more or less a year.. and within the same day that I turned it on, this guy contacts me outta nowhere.

I suppose it could still all be coincidence..

Its just that based on the other items he's selling I'm pretty sure he's into INFOSEC or at least PEN-testing..

but gotcha, I will do as you suggest and go from there!

P.S. if anyone knows about Nethunter would definitely appreciate help with those install directions..

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yeah, flashing custom works also, I didn't know if there were custom ROMs available or if you even wanted custom.
[General Questions and Answers] Sean Price:
Well to be honest I couldn't find "stock" Android and after a few hours of searching gave up. Even the AOSP site was no help, more confusing than anything really...

Then in despair I realized that there was a reason CyanogenMod OS kept popping up in the searches. Apparently thats what this phone shipped with...

I HATE IT THO, like where is the multitask window?

Maybe I'm too spoiled with Android ONE phones but this OS just seems like a step backwards to me..

Anyways, I now have NETHUNTER flashed and working...

That was the entire point of even buying this phone.

So now to spend endless hours learning Kali/Nethunter!

wish me luck.

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] KnallPikken:
Hello! I bought my P9 lite second hand about two years ago and have never been able to update it, it just says that thre are none updates available. I switched to a new phone a year ago because of that, but now that i lost my new phone I had to go back to my P9 lite. Now that I've looked more into it, I noticed some strange things like the "about" tab displays wrong specs about the phone, that it only has 4 cores on the cpu, 1GB RAM and a 540x960 screen: [MG]https://imgur.com/a/3WhxaX3[/IMG]

I tried to update through HiCare too, but it also said that there where none updates available. What is even more strange is that acording to HiCare EMUI version is 4.1 :confused: [MG]https://imgur.com/a/f0OoKpd[/IMG]

Hi,

I just received my S7 Active from eBay. I cannot do the OTA to 8.0 is it because it still unreleased? I know there is threads to flash to 8 but if its not supported and a leaked version I will wait until something is more official.

No sim inside yet but I don't think it matters for OTA updates.

it is official. software updates will only download to your device if you are on the ATT network and have a active ATT sim installed.

I cannot find any info on a custom recovery for the px5, I have searched for hours so I decided to ask to see if I missed something

I could not get joying extra tools to work so Im trying to install two things manually I got xposed installed using the xposed installer which seems to have a built in way to flash a zip however the other thing I want to install ViPER4Android doesnt seem to have a way to do this without flashing a zip what I really want is ViPER|Atmos from here https://xdaforums.com/android/software/viperaudio-viperatmos-3-8-sq-driver-t3289075 however I see that it is a modded version of ViPER4Android so while I would like that one any version of ViPER4Android would be ok assuming there is another way to install it that would not install the version I want but I cannot find a way to install it and these two things is why I asked the above question

so since there doesnt seem to be a way to flash a zip on the px5 is there any way to install ViPER4Android without flashing a zip?
[Android Head-Units] sbruda:
Just a thought (I used this in different contexts, just not for this kind of units; I see however no reason this would not work): Why don't you unzip the zip, copy the files over as appropriate, and run whatever scripts therein by hand if necessary? You would (obviously) need root for that, but since you installed Xposed I would venture to guess that you already have it. Just keep track of what you changed in case you need to revert; better yet, have an image ready for recovery. Oh, and do inspect scripts before installing...
[Android Head-Units] stonedhippiecomputerdude:
I might do that, I dont see why it wouldnt work ether, Ill update if I do it this way
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
That's also what my JET apk does for viper4android and Xposed install. Just a few minor changes to paths in the script as the recovery partition can't be used.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jbaysingar:
I just stopped by my local Verizon store, and my local Best Buy, and both had demo stations set up.

Some quick impressions:

The build quality is very nice. The matte etched glass looks better than I was expecting.

The notch looks much better in person. It's really not bad at all. I think everyone is reacting to close-up photos blown up on their monitor, and don't think about the real-world size of the device. However, the Verizon demo app running on the XL has the background of the notification bar blacked out to hide the notch. :rolleyes:

The "chin" isn't that bad either (for the same reasons), especially given the trade-off of getting front-facing speakers.

The "Not Pink" is very subtle, but doesn't really look that good to me. However, that is a purely subjective opinion, and others may think it looks great.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AhsanU:
Plenty of people are saying that the notch "isn't so bad" when the phone is in your hands, and while I'm more than happy to agree I'll say this - you shouldn't be spending this kind of money on a product that has something that "isn't so bad". The 128GB variant costs well over $1k with taxes included.. I shouldn't be settling for much when spending that kind of money on a smartphone. Headphone jacks, Micro SD compatibility, etc. are things that I am willing to forgive, but the notch might be a bit too much to swallow. We'll see, I get my Pixel 3 XL around the 26th. If I really can't stand it, it'll go back to Google and OnePlus will likely earn my money with their beautiful design and affordability.

Also, the notch doesn't seem so bad on its own - sure; but I'm sure most would feel different if they hold OnePlus' upcoming 6T in one hand and the Pixel 3 XL in the other. The teardrop notch will shame the Pixel 3 XL. Here's to hoping that the software on the 6T can somewhat match what Google's doing, as that's Google's biggest selling point.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] misiokicio:
Wellu won't, once u keep using pixel its hard to go back to anything else, basically google doesn't give a f... Ant how the notch looks, they are sellin the best software that's it, yes i agree the notch is ugly but i cant imagine myself using anything else after havin 2 xl for nearly a year
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bsg411:
I feel the same way as you do...but if this phone isn't rootable / ROM-able (because of this dam Titan Chip on Board)....it wont be the same as previous pixel/nexus devices.....that will likely be a deal breaker. It already has less battery, no additional ram, huge notch, no LED notification light.....not being rootable/ROM-able will be the straw that breaks the camels back.

Edit: I just came back from the Verizon store as well.....they had the phone in all 3 colors and the pixel stand. The phone looks nice. Lets just hope for root. Also the haptic feedback to me didn't seem better than the P2XL....I heard a few reviews online mention it was considerably improved and the Russian review even claimed it may be better than the iPhone's vibration motor. It didn't feel that way to me tho.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
I went to a Verizon store today and check out the 3 and 3 xl myself. I have to say, I DO like it a lot! Like the OP said, in person, the notch is NOT that bad. Having said that, if anyone comes up with a way to partially hide it, I'll still be doing that. I didn't have long to play with it (on lunch from work), but here's what I got:

The screen is WAY better than the 2 xl. Way better. I did not notice any shift either. Compared to my 2 xl, it was definitely a huge improvement. Everything just looks better/clearer.

The glass back was actually pretty cool. You almost wouldn't know it was all glass. However, the matte finish ends just before the edges. That I don't like. The edges are smooth and somewhat slippery. They really should have extended the matte finish onto the edges.

The phone was definitely snappier. I have mine adjusted to .5 for all animations and such, and the 3 xl was much more smooth. I'm sure it will be super quick once that option is changed to .5 when I have mine in hand.

The chin is pretty much identical to the 2 xl. It does not bother me one bit. I would much rather have dual front facing speakers and a chin/notch/forehead than not.

I couldn't really test much else out as I didn't have time. As the OP mentioned, the dev settings were password locked, so, I couldn't play with the hide notch or animation settings. I will say that I was really on the fence on this. I wasn't even going to get one at all. I decided to last minute just to see, and send it back if I didn't like it. Now I'm excited for it's arrival next week. I think I'll be very happy with this.

All in all, it's a minor upgrade to the 2's. Even though the screen is much better, the speakers, and the camera's as well, it's not a huge difference. But, including the stand, my monthly payments are only going to be about 3 bucks more a month, so, to me, that's worth it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bsg411:
To me the chin on the 3XL was about 1mm thicker the than the chin on the 2XL. Not sure why...but it is slightly bigger. I could tell thought that it wouldn't take me long to get used to the notch.
