[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] Diabolical_Mir:
Another question. I just saw a review of the brand new P20 Pro which has just been released.

In Settings -> Battery, there is an option called "Darken Interface Colors" which basically sets a system wide dark theme.

Does this option exist in the Honor 8x?

Thank you.
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] DoobyDroid:
You mean mate 20?, and no this option is not present on 8x thats not to say it won't be in emui 9.0 witch is what the mate 20 is running and P20 will be running if not already on beta emui 9.0
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] Pavilionnn:
You should check the Accessibility options in Smart Assistance. After all, it's made for you. High Contrast Text can be pretty useful and the invert option can make everything black without resorting to themes, but everything will be inverted, including images and videos.

Font size and UI scaling is changeable and can be pretty gigantic if you max everything out.

Heres a screenshot I captured

I was reading an article from bgr (link below) and they talked about a flaw that has not been talked about with the new pixel phones. They claim the speakers vibrate soo much when playing back music or video etc. that it feels like the vibration motor in the handset is on and is actually vibrating soo much you don't even want to hold the phone in your hand while audio is playing out the speakers.

The funny thing is I must have watched a zillion review videos and no one else has mentioned this. It would be weird that no one else caught this. I hope this is an isolated case if a case at all.

Anyone else heard of this issue?

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobbyphoenix:
There's a huge difference between a flaw, and a feature/side effect. According to what is happening here the speakers are vibrating the phone from the sound of the speakers. There is no distortion, or sound issue, but a vibration side effect on the phone itself. It's like turning up your car stereo, or home theater, and the doors on the car vibrate, or the home speakers vibrate, and may even shake the walls. That is not a flaw, but a result of loud, sound speakers.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bsg411:
That's true but they claimed it was also significantly vibrating even at 50% volume. That's something I would expect at max volume. Either way we will see soon enough.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] HyperM3:
Because of the IP68 rating, its pretty sealed, and thats why youre getting that vibration. Theres nowhere for that air to go so its going to bump into the case.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] chuckado:
There is definitely a bit of vibration on my phone when music is played through the speakers but I currently don't find it to be an issue.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] blcklab:
It's there AND the speakers are much louder than the 2 and quite crisp. I'll take the trade off
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] galaxys:
A good case might absorb it some....
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Pure+:
I think it’s a flaw. I’ve seen so many reviews praising the speakers of the pixel and I was surprised to find out that the audio experience is really subpar. Compared to my iPhone XS Max the sound is night and day. The iPhone is louder, more clear, and overall more pleasing. Another user in another thread described the pixel audio as “everyone in videos sound like their mouths are full peanut butter when they talk” and it’s a very accurate description of the sound. Not to mention the phone does indeed vibrate a ton when you get anywhere north or 35% volume and most of the sound emitted comes through the bottom speaker making the whole auditory experience sound unbalanced and not truly stereo. Both the iPhone and Pixel have the same IP68 very but the iPhone absolutely smashes the pixel as far are speakers are concerned.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] razor237:
I just got my pixel 3 xl setup and WOW im shocked at the amount of vibration from a video. I played a video of us singing happy birthday to my daughter on my Pixel 2 xl at 50% volume and near max say 90% and there is some vibration at the edges not much at the center. i then did the same test with the pixel 3 XL and its bad at 25% volume and gets worse from there the whole back vibrates right from the center out. both test with no case. Im going to pick up a case today and see if it absorbs some. This could be a deal breaker for me, i like to watch videos on my phone and that will just get annoying
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] marcocb8:
Yeah there is a lot of vibration from the speakers thru the whole phone, my 2XL did not have that, the sound is a lot Fuller and louder then that phone though.

I have the Google fabric case and it does not reduce it at all.

It does not bother me to much, the buzzing/distortion on my lower speaker bothers me a lot.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] HyperM3:
My phone arrived today and I have a spigen case waiting for it. When I get home Ill test this out and report back how it feels.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] razor237:
After some more use there is some odd sound issues , sending a text through the stock app the sound makes an odd sound that is not present on my pixel 2 xl . is like a tiny crackly vibration sound . i have similar sounds from pokemon go as well ...man this really stinks , i expected the sound to be like my pixel 2 xl
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
The fact the phone is vibrating without distortion is pretty awesome.

It indicates fuller sound with more audio being produced in the low end.

This is fantastic news.

I'm sorry ya'll wimpy hands can't handle vibrations.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Pure+:
It’s not a matter of hands being bothered, at least not for me, it’s a matter of the sound being **** because there is too much low end frequency and resonance and the highs and mids become almost inaudible. I won’t use it without headphones now cause I just can’t understand and clearly, the sound coming from the music or videos. Either that’s or I’ll just pick up my iPhone because it sounds like a damn IMAX Dolby experience in comparison lmao
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] razor237:
My pixel 2 xl sounded nice with out the annoyance of a vibrating phone on every sound. i like fuller sound to a point. sure my hands can HANDle it ( lol sorry just being silly and had to bold hand) but do i want or like it is another story. i watched the same few videos and they sounded good on both phones ans sure the 3xl was a bit fuller but the vibrating was sorta distracting for me , there might even be some distorting from it as well.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Pure+:
This is my exact experience! If I’ve been watching videos on my pixel and then pick up my iPhone to watch a video it’s like I’ve steeped into an imax theatre with the Dolby atoms experience it’s so much better [emoji23]. Google needs to push an update to the sound tuning ASAP
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] razor237:
Yeah i was comparing to my pixel 2 xl figured it was a fair comparison both with similar front firing speakers .... i i remember correctly my nexus 6P had some sound issues that was solved by updates so maybe they can reduce it a bit
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Pure+:
I was just totally shocked because I’ve seen so many reviews praising these speakers especially when compared to the two new iPhones and that’s just not been my experience at all. Maybe it’s preference but I can’t imagine how these things are define as clear, crisp, etc
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] marcocb8:
I love the phone but hate the distortion of the speakers, I don't listen to music that much but it is so bad, even on YouTube videos.i might have to return this thing.

I have seen 3 phones so far and they all have that issue. Maybe I have to switch to the 10s Max.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] razor237:
Yeah everyone was going on about the notch and that's not too bad at all but the sounds is more of an issue for me at least , the 10s Max does sound good and doesn't vibrate like the 3xl, i was just comparing to my wife's. but man the only issue with that is using iOS :eek:
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] lyall29:
You would be blown away at the amazing sound coming out of the XS Max speakers. The Pixel 3 XL doesn't come close to the quality. Android Police just released an article on this problem with the Pixel 3 XL and from what I gathered, Google made the speakers unbalanced and crappy by design. Because of this, I may return this phone to Google.

https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/10/18/one-pixel-3-xls-front-facing-speakers-much-louder/
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] razor237:
they unbalanced the sound on purpose ? really... i thought i was just me that one side was a bit louder
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] HyperM3:
Alright, I just finished setting up my 3xl and figured I would do some side by side sound comparisons with my 2xl. The 3xl sound is by far fuller than the 2xl. If Im not holding either phone, the clarity and projection is significant on the 3xl. However, what I discovered was the vibration when holding the phone while watching the videos is directly in the center of the phone. When I held the phone by top and bottom I felt absolutely no vibration. This confuses me because I would expect the vibration to be felt directly behind the speakers. Maybe theres a hidden subwoofer in the middle of the phone....
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] razor237:
Yeah i though that was odd too its almost radiates from the center lol , on the pixel 2 xl you feel a slight vibration on the sides by the speakers as you would think but its not very noticeable
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] marcocb8:
Yeah iOS will be the big issue for me too.

I am so used to Android, I have an iPad so I am a bit familiar with it but there are a few things I would miss for sure, like the always on display, I cannot believe they don't have this in an iPhone.

And of course the back button.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Pure+:
I can see where you're coming from right up until the back button. I think that iOS swiping navigation is much more intuitive than the nav bar in Android, pixel 3 swipe guestures included.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] marcocb8:
I just read about people saying that the swipe for going back not always works in all the apps. I haven't played with the new iPhone that much though. I will check it out soon. Maybe even buy one and see if I like it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] razor237:
Yeah the swiping between apps is more intuitive in ios it just seems to work better . Im sure once google tweaks it a bit more it will be good
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] djy:
Bottom speaker on mine sounds terrible below 50%. I bet they are all like this. How did this pass QA?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] razor237:
supposedly the volume imbalance was by design so not a QA issue
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] westside80:
There is a lot of vibration but it doesn't bother me. I still feel it with a case on too.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] djy:
I hear and understand the balance due to different size speakers but this is something different. Below 50% the bottom speak is distorted and raspy. Try it. I just unboxed it. Also have the smaller one and will test that in a little while.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] marcocb8:
Yeah, the uneven balance is not the issue for me, it is the distortion on lower volume. Like you said, it looks like they are all like that, maybe some people just don't hear it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Pure+:
Yeah the iPhone is extremely intuitive. And I've yet to have a single issue with it. I'm hoping Google can refine the swiping experience in Android and honestly wouldn't be bad of them to just completely mimic the iOS gesture controls.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] marcocb8:
Sound like I just have to get one and try it out. This speaker issue is really ruining the 3XL experience for me.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobbyphoenix:
I posted this in the Speakerphone thread, but wanted to share here since this thread seems more active: I was just doing some testing/comparing with what I came from (Moto E4 Plus), and the XL blows it out of the water. I tested some music, and YouTube videos. So much louder, crisper, clearer, and has full body bass. The other thread about the vibration (this thread) being so bad I can't agree with either. Yes I have some vibration, but at full volume on both phones, the XL has about doubled the vibration of the Moto, but it isn't a deal breaker. It's nothing I would complain about considering how much the sound is more like a home theater for me compared to the Moto.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] razor237:
IMO it is a subjective issue that some think its fine , some are ok with it while others just cant stand it. A lot does depend on what device your coming from and what your expectations are.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] ds6778:
My bottom speaker sounds horribly distorted at less then 35% volume. Almost underwater sounding.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] marcocb8:
Seems like the majority of the phones have the speaker issue, some people got lucky and got a good one I guess.

I checked out 5 phones now and they all have the speaker distortion.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] thetrystero:
I think they're are three separate issues going on here.

1. Vibration of the phone body which doesn't affect sound quality

2. Vibration of the phone body which contributes to sound distortion

3. Intrinsic qualities of the speaker itself (either hardware or software) which leads to a compromise of quality.

1 doesn't bother me in the least

2 and 3 though would definitely be an issue. From reports in this thread it sounds like there is some sort of compromise in sound quality due to vibration at lower volumes. I don't have the phone myself but did detect this in some YouTube videos even though the reviewers didn't directly address the issue

What would be really helpful is if those of you who reported distortion in sound quality could upload a comprehensive video disposing this issue?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] gtj0:
As [MENTION=764211]HyperM3[/MENTION] mentioned, a probable reason the vibration is there in the first place is that the phone is more sealed than the earlier versions so it's not the speakers themselves vibrating, it's the air pressure. The center of the back is going to be the most flexible so that's where the vibration is going to be felt most.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Google did this intentionally to enhance low frequency sound quality. :D Kinda like the imbalanced L/R issue. :D

All kidding aside, the vibration was weird to feel the first time I played a YouTube video but then i realized that I wasn't hearing the vibration, only feeling it. The sound quality itself was better then any other phone I've had.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] westside80:
Watch this video around half volume and listen to the bottom speaker. I didn't even try to listen to the top speaker because all I could hear was buzzing from the bottom one. Yikes. The video even mentions the same thing and says it's definitely gonna need some tweaks.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] MArtyChubbs:
I don't have wimpy hands and the vibration doesn't bother me at all.

Plus promoting iOS devices on XDA that's like boasting about Linux on a Windows Forum please Ninja. Last two Apple devices I bought for my daughters were both defective and I think the OS sucks. There is nothing other than a fanboy you're getting by barfing all over XDA with iPhone crap. Dude please go with the iPhone x max get rid of your pixel 3XL I just know that you'll be happier. So this is an unlocked pixel we can modify much more than any of these other consumer electronic devices like an iPhone or a lockdown Samsung phone it's not even comparable you're in the wrong place.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Pure+:
No one is promoting iOS or iPhone. We are simply comparing two flags ships against each other, ya know.. like literally every one does in some form or another. The only person in the wrong place is you with your bull**** attitude. If you don't like a particular post the scroll past it. There is helpful information that can be had from these threads. Just because it just pertain to you doesn't mean it's irrelevant. Guess what bud, you aren't the center of attention, the reason for these forums to exists, or relevant in any way other than you happen to own a 3xl as well. Start acting like an adult.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] MArtyChubbs:
Whatever... use your same rationale on yourself Move Along scroll past it. Blah blah wine wine wine go strengthen your hands. That was a joke. I am sorry if I hurt your feelings.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Pure+:
My only issue is that you've posted across multiple threads complaining about the iPhone being used as a benchmark/reference point or just being mentioned in general, but that provides a perspective to different aspects of these devices. Just because it's not necessarily helpful to you doesn't mean it won't help anyone else, hence my "the world doesn't revolve around you" remark. My only aim is to make you realize that kind of post is neither necessary nor constructive whereas the rest of us until that point were doing our best to keep things constructive and potentially helpful to anyone else that relate to the scenario.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] MArtyChubbs:
Okay now I'm not sorry
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] razor237:
Lol I don't have have wimpy hands either but I absolutely hate the vibration feeling , weather you hands are wimpy or not really has nothing to do with it. The fact is people like many different things and are bothered by things more then others , it's great it doesn't bother you but many others it does .

I guess you hate apple but they are a fair comparison to devices as well as any other flagship phone is. The fact is they make great hardware the only downside is iOS it blows compared to stock Android. I bet if apple and Google teamed up and released a special edition iPhone powered by stock Android it would be the hottest selling phone ever
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Pure+:
Only if it had iMessage. Even an iPhone with Android wouldn't outsell a stock iPhone because of that single feature, in my opinion.

I love the bass vibration. It makes it feel like I'm holding a mini home theater when playing music, or watching videos. Deep rich sound and bass. Love it!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] MArtyChubbs:
Glad to see we're back on topic now. I agree with you completely. I can't think of a phone that sounds so good in my strong hands. I'm really starting to think that hand strength makes a difference

Lol ok I could agree with you for iPhone users but it would definitely be king on Android phones and hey in that dream world it could have imessage as well lol

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] brooklynchildxbc:
mine sounds fine between 75-85 percent. the difference between the 2 aren't volume it sounds more like eq the bottom speaker has more highs maybe to give it more of a stereo effect but should be something that can be tweaked with software
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Fuzzy13:
After dealing with the P2XL's speakers and the distortion that came with them, I've been very pleased with the P3XL thus far. The vibration doesn't bother me and the speakers are MUCH better than the previous version. I will say that there's one issue with the speakers that I wish was different and could possibly be changed via software. The eq output changes too much when lowering the volume and I wished it stayed consistent. Meaning at 100% the audio eq is even. Highs complement the lows from which are very apparent. But as you bring the volume down, you start to lose the highs but not the lows therefore when the volume is set below 50%, it tends to sound like a blanket is covering the speakers. The highs are lower but the lows are unchanged.

Is it a deal breaker? Hell no. I understand that people want the best for the $1000 they're spending. I do too. But when there's articles with complaints from people talking about a slight buzz at extremely low volumes, I sit here scratching my head thinking "and?". I tested mine and yes, at extremely low volumes there's a strange hiss/buzz that's underlying in the audio. It went away once the volume was over 25%. But when something like this is happening and it doesn't affect me because I'm never listening to something with the volume THAT low, I just don't care.

The P2XL had problems with the speakers. The P3XL doesn't. They aren't perfect but they sound great and I have no serious deal breaker complaints thus far with the P3XL.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] MArtyChubbs:
Thanks dude there was some serious PureBS going on and now we can talk about speaker vibration which I don't notice anymore
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] westside80:
I agree. I said the same thing. At a low volume the sound is mostly bass and the highs disappear. All that bass is probably contributing to the distortion from the bottom speaker. There's nothing wrong with the speaker because certain media sounds fine. It's just certain voices, deeper voices, that bring the distortion. They need to adjust the eq.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] ThommoC:
Pixel 3XL user here- speakers are terrible. Considering the chin and notch size you would think they would be great but I'm so disappointed. I love YouTube and smash it, but my experience is being ruined but a buzzing distortion, particularly noticeable in talking videos with no music to distract. Considering returning.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] HyperM3:
FWIW, I realized the other night that my ipad 2 also vibrates heavily when listening to the same videos. Guess it never bothered me before.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Tanquen:
That is for sure part of it. I never thought about it until I saw something on line about it then could feel my 2 XL vibrate and I keep it low.

I have the new 3 XL and still have the 2 XL and the 3 sounds much better at regular volume thus far but…

The send text chime has like a rattle effect going on. :(
