[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] blcklab:
My experience seems different than others. The first time I crank the speakers I did feel vibration but I don't now. I'm listening to some pretty heavy Stoner Rock. Think fuzzed-out guitars, big drums and open hi-hats. Heavy Bass. So technically music that covers of broad frequency spectrum. I think it sounds pretty good, darn loud and no Distortion. Do I expect at the sound like my Bose system? No. But I'd be fine in a quiet corner of the meeting or hotel room listening to some music or catching a little Netflix.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] lyall29:
Music doesn't sound bad to me, it's movies and YouTube. I noticed it right away when I was watching a movie on Netflix, the sound is just not good.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] vwgti18:
Yeah it's big time muffled below 50% above that it sounds good. But I can't even view Snapchat videos with out turning it up so everyone else can hear it too... I thought I had to RMA but looks like that's just how this phone is..

This sucks! :confused:
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] blcklab:
I don't know. I thought Netflix and YouTube sounds fine to me.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] lyall29:
You may have gotten lucky and received a better device than me. I'm not being sarcastic when I say...I'm happy for you, and a little jealous that you may have better speakers than me:svetius:
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] blcklab:
Or my ears are shot! Got my phone just in time for System of a Down concert. I also don't listen to much through phone speakers. I mean I take Skype guitar lessons that I don't expect high quality for that life type of setting. I generally watch Netflix through my television and music through my car stereo. A lot of YouTube might be how to videos but the people who post them aren't using high-end equipment or isolated microphones.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] marcocb8:
I found this online and it makes you install an equalizer and you can make some adjustments to mask the defects.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/f...rtion-pixel-2-xl-t3763378/amp/

I has to turn 230hz all the way down to -15db. That hides almost all the distortion and vibration.

Not ideal but let me try it for a bit.

Gonna try this once I get into work and get my pixel on WiFi. Seems worth a shot but I’ll report back how it works for me as well.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] dratsablive:
This thread smells like "My Nexus 6P got Bend!"
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jrac86:
This seemed to help with the distortion... I lowered the 910 Hz to -7 db as mentioned in the original forum.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] marcocb8:
That's funny, I used to have a 6P and yes it got bent. Only phone I ever had that did that

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

Yeah every phone probably has a different frequency that needs to be adjusted, let's hope that they can do that in a software update. Or give us an equalizer in the settings.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] dratsablive:
I still have my 6P, and it's still not bend. Then again, I never put it in my back pocket.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] marcocb8:
Mine was always in my front pocket. It just wasn't a very strong phone but I liked it for the few months I had it. I wish we could get the new Huawei mate 20 pro on Verizon. that seems like a great phone.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] westside80:
I think if Google would just turn up the highs at lower volumes the speakers would sound a lot better. Seems like the highs don't really come out until the volume is turned up above 50% or more. The speakers don't sound bad to me but they do need more highs.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] djy:
Been playing around with YouTube videos on the little and big pixel at the same time. Little one definitely sounds better but I noticed the distortion at low volume also varies with content. Some videos worse than others.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] lyall29:
Now I know for sure that VIPER4android will fix the sound on this device. I've also been playing around with Equalizer from the play store, and it really does sound a lot better. The only problem is, the apps from the play store don't work all the time. Equalizer works fine in YouTube and Netflix, but as soon as I launch Pocket Casts, it stops working. I'm okay with that though because my biggest complaint was audio quality in YouTube and Netflix. I can't wait to get root.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Pure+:
Posted this in another thread but figured I'd update here as well.

"I don't have any way to quantify this, but I think that there might be a break in period for the speakers. While they remain unbalanced in volume output between top and bottom speakers, the clarity, quality and distortion have all improved greatly. The distortion seems to be gone and I no longer can hear any "fuzziness" in the audio. And when watching videos, people speaking is much more clear and understandable. Like I said, this could just be my perception but I'm very pleased by this considering the very rough start with this phone.

All that said, my iPhone still sounds better on balance. But that doesn't really surprise me as Apple has been in the music game far longer."
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] marcocb8:
I wish I could say the same , mine is still crappy.

Been using the phone a lot and hoping that it will get better or that I will get used to it but no luck.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jscsltd:
Are people still getting this issue?

My bottom speaker sounds terrible at low volume and I'm on my replacement phone.

Are they all like this I wonder or because I pre-ordered, I got a dodgy early unit on my first and second phones?

I'm in the UK and got from Carphone Warehouse!

UPDATE:

After call with Google, they reckon there will be a software fix for this...I suspect this will be masking of the actual physical problem by tweaking the equaliser!!!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] UniX1rm:
Contacted google, they offered to rma the device. The person mentioned that after "troubleshooting" the steps, if the speakers are not fixed, it is a hardware. I am surprised because I had asked if it would be a software, and they mentioned that this would be a device defect. I am not sure what to do. I would hate to return the phone and get a new one.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jscsltd:
I'm on my 3rd Pixel 3 XL and still have this issue. I'm now waiting for the software update due in the December Security Patch that is supposed to fix this issue.

I've just had enough of setting up the phone to want to replace for yet another with the same issue.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
Currently on my 4th 3 XL and it's the same thing. The waterproofing probably has a big part to play in this as well.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] UniX1rm:
Thanks for the info guys.

Would you recommend waiting out the RMA until the December update at least, or should I just go ahead and play the lottery?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jscsltd:
From my experience so far, I'd wait for the software update, unless of course, this takes you out of any return window?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
I'd wait for the OTA unless you want to return the phone and waiting would get you out of the window like the other guy said.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] UniX1rm:
Thank you for the advice. I think I'll wait and I could do the exchange later. I like the phone.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] stealthj:
I just got my my replacement.

It is a little bit better when I compare it to the old one. Will ship the old one back.

You know, it kind of sounds like if I got the phone wet, it would make this sound from the bottom speaker worse.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] UniX1rm:
But, is it muffled or you still get distorted although it is better ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] stealthj:
The distortion got a little better and is not that bad now.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] UniX1rm:
Good to know. I may go ahead with the exchange. I willl give it a shot with the December update, if it didn't work, I'll go ahead. Did you do the advanced exchange or the regular one ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Lw00d:
this is my second pixel. first had to return for grey OEM unlock. . second was able to unlock OEM. but now i have this distortion and muffled speaker. i dont see many pages of people complaining about this issue. i think we just got the ones with bad speakers. i am going to try and fix with Viper. if that works i will keep. if not. i will return phone.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
No, there are a lot of people complaining about distorted/muffled speakers and earpiece clicking on Reddit and they also have been reported to the issue tracker as well.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jscsltd:
Got the December update and happy to say the distortion is pretty much eliminated.

Be interested to see how others are finding it?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
Still some buzzing on some frequencies etc but it seems to a lesser extents.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Aaditya91:
Yeah. For me I mostly had the muffled sound at low volumes which is gone now. Also, the audio from the top speaker and the bottom speaker now is balanced, at least to my naked ears. The audio is definitely more crisp and clear now. I am happy so far. :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] stones0:
I noticed the stereo balance is very much improved, not all the time it seems but in some situations. So much better.

Speaker muffling/buzzing is also improved a bunch but not 100%, I would say 50-70% improvement depending on the audio.

Some podcasts/videos have just as much buzzing as before but at a lower intensity, others sound pretty good.

I think if this was a USD $400-500 phone I wouldn't care, considering I spent $1,200 overall, not satisfied yet.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] devsk:
As per your analogy, that's like saying I still have speakers but I never turn them on....:D:p:p;);)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] RayEdmondson:
Sound is a lot better for me, and I also noticed I'm not getting near the vibration on the back of the phone when watching YouTube videos, for example.

[Other SmartWatches] danielccm:
I've had the Ticwatch Pro for a few months now and the only thing missing is some way of wireless charging....

I was thinking, since there's a sort of bump underneath it, where the heartrate monitor lies, and knowing where the speaker grill is, there surely must be a way to add a 3d printed device with some small magnets that can act as a holder for a qi coil...

Alternatively, there must be a way to add a a watchstrap with some solar cells (even if it's DIY) with the input to the pogo pin connectors under the watch itself...

Along that second idea, I saw these cells:

[Other SmartWatches] danielccm:
I just had a vision... I have a semi broken (aesthetics mainly I believe) Moto 360 1st edition which has a charging Qi coil inside it. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIVJb5Q_IHg)

Any idea if I can just rip it out of the Moto and somehow solder it into the Ticwatch? Both devices out of warranty by now anyways....

Nope, haven't got the guts or knowledge to do it...

Hi,

can anyone who already might have the phone check, if it is possible to install Nova Launcher? In this thread it seems like huawei removed the ability. Thx!
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] beachletter:
You can still install and use Nova, but there are some bugs with gesture navigation. No problem if you use traditional nav bar.

See demonstration:

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] hs911:
i saw another video with smooth working nova launcher

but it also seems that huawei offers a seperated app drawer in emui9, so maybe there is no more need for nova...?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Joern85:
thx a lot!

yeah thats' the case for a while now. but i don't like the old fashioned way they implemented it. you know with the separate button to launch the drawer. it would be much more consistent if they do it like google does with the swipe to open the drawer.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] sousa_2005:
fluid gestures are a must!
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] beachletter:
The main problem with nova+emui 9 gesture is an animation glitch when going to homescreen. Installing fluid gestures solved that problem 90% of the time, still around 10% chance the glitch happens on my phone, but it doesn't bother me too much.

Another problem is blue tint in task switch screen and its crappy UI design (you can't touch the left or right card and go to that app directly, and it's difficult to stop at the right card), but i guess that's related to nova, not with gestures. It's annoying but still I can live with.

If you use the international rom. that's all you need to worry about.

If you use the Chinese rom version, 3rd party launcher is banned. If you bypass that ban by disabling emui launcher with adb, gestures will become unusable. Fluid gestures won't fix that problem. So you have to pick between using gestures or using 3rd party launcher, not both.

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Xcelsior:
So I have been using my P20 Pro for some time now being happy with it in general. What I am not happy about is the current "how you do an update" situation.

Right now we have two methods:

OTA update: A PC is required for flashing back and forth between the original and TWRP recovery_ramdisk partition. In addition this seems to cause problems with the latest OTA updates.

HuRU used from TWRP: Requires you to download the FULL OTA update while in Android (I had to download this anyhow last time as the partial OTA update failed). Besides that I was unable to actually locate some source to this tool or its origin or at least where the information for this tool came from.

With this poll I would like to know what the P20 (Pro) users inside this forum are using or more specific what they prefer and why. At the same time I would like to hear about problems you had with HuRU or OTA update (except for having to download the FULL update after the incremental update failed or small OTA updates not working with the latest firmware versions).

Information collected within this thread will then be added to my P20 Pro guide post.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fantomasas:
I’m a Gboard user who uses more than one language (I have to do so). On a daily basis, I use the spacebar to move the cursor left and right by swiping it. Unfortunately, the spacebar, when holding it, serves also for choosing a language. Wanting to move the cursor, I often mistakenly launch the language settings.

How to disable the language settings being launched by the spacebar? Another button with a globe icon is sufficient if I want to enter the language settings. It’s impossible to disable this feature in the Gboard settings. Do you know any other method?
