[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] sungersoo:
yeah. im using the TNT edition but no calls come through when I'm using the 2.71.11 radio but 2.19.11 works fine...

but your running amp wm6.1 with what radio rom?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] tvaril:
missing calls

for 1,5 year i am using radion 2.19.11 with many roms T-Mobile WM5 czech rom, WM6 Crossbow, XMr6, TNT 19199 V2 prof (now) and i have all the time few missing calls. Someone is calling to me and wizard acts like on nosignal even it has signal. On tnt 19199 (for the first time) i can also report two missing sms which was marked as delivered but i have never get it. So i do not think that 2.19.11 is good choose :( but i would like to know which one is good? i think that it depends on gsm signal protocol one radio is good for american countries but not good for european, so you just have to try :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] human75:
right now my radio is 2.71 and my rom is amp 6.1 version 2 professional.wm 6.1 build 19521 is also very nice build...wm6 has weird miss call issue with some radios but i havent got any missed call or missed sms issue with wm 6.1 yet with any radio.of couse if i am not downloading something from internet....knock to wood lol :-)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] cbass:
I switched to the latest SNN Full rom, and put on the radio rom... everything is perfect now.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] thatboiwes:
I, too, am having this problem. One quick question though; after downloading and changing the radio to 2.19.11, will I have to reflash the TNT ROM that I am using, or will it just change my radio from 2.25.11 to the new one?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] human75:
no you dont need to reflash tnt rom.just flash your radio 2.19.that s all.good luck
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] sungersoo:
2.19 is acting really weird. can you guys post up links?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] thatboiwes:
Well, I installed radio 2.19 and so far so good. I've recieved all phone calls and texts, that I know of. I guess I will find out in the next couple of days if it has actually solved my problem.

BTW, thanks for the link!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Kojacked:
Hard Reset?

Do you have to hard reset after installing the radio ROM? I used Shelltool to load it but after a soft reset it still is at 2.25. Maybe shelltool doesn't work on radio roms? I using a locked G4.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] thatboiwes:
Just download the ROM from the link, unzip the files and do the install as if you were flashing a new ROM to your phone. That's what worked for me.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] azfar:
Im using 2.71.11 and so far no problem. Just install it as you flash rom and it should work then.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] kurry25:
I had that same problem when i tried to downgrade to 1.19.

I cant remember if it worked after a couple of soft resets, or if

I flashed it again.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] sino8r:
Solution..for most

From what I have gathered, missed calls, texts, and delayed voicemail comes from EDGE/GPRS being active at the time. Test it for yourself. MOST missed calls aren't show if data is active. I didn't have this problem with wm5. It only happens if I'm using a wm6 or wm6.1 rom. For me, 2.19.11 radio works the best. But the radio version doesn't seem to matter(much at least). My solution was to use a program to automatically disconnect gprs after a certain amount of time. GB-SOFT works well and is free. Please post if this doesn't work for you...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] NearDenver:
I had the same problem with all previous 6.1 versions but the SNN version http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=386668

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Vaclav79:
Hi

Recently in my phone I've noticed that the upper part of the screen (where there are system icons - network, time, etc.) is noticeably less highlighted/less bright than the analogical section at the bottom of the screen (I know that brightness can depend on the viewing angles ). Do you have similar situation in your A1 black?

Of course, the difference can be seen on a white or red background. This is not a dramatic difference, but it is noticeable. Do you think, that it is failure of display?

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jctomlin10:
According to multiple sites and the Google store, the specs sheets lists the Pixel 3 & 3 XL having a "usb type-c 3.1 gen 1 " Port. This is not what we had in the Pixel 2.

Any thoughts on additional capabilities this can provide? Hopefully USB Type-C to HDMI out?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] matteventu:
That's exactly the same port there is on Pixel and Pixel 2.

No other features added.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] xaverlalo:
That's so sad and the reason why I didn't buy it
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
I'm not trying to start a pixel flame war, but I'm standing in front of multiple pixel 3 devices and it's very easy to see they have two different color temperatures. The difference isn't as noticeable in photos though.

Granted, they still look 2 times better than last year, but the regular 3 clearly has a warmer temp and greater color shift when viewed off axis.

How did a room full of tech experts miss this at the Google event?!
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
so whats your point?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
It's possible it was just those 2 devices. Not every display is exactly the same, even on same phones.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mark manning:
I am curious is if you checked to see if the brightness levels were the same?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
It was consistent on the multiple devices they had on display.

I also checked display brightness and color settings as you can see in the pictures. Like I said, the difference is more obvious in person and I'm shocked no tech reviewers have mentioned it. I've even noticed it while watching YouTube videos with reviewers holding the devices side by side.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
Interesting
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] GizmoFreak:
I noticed it too and tweeted about it hoping to get an answer from Jonathan Morrison. No reply from him so came here searching.

Check that pic in my tweet. This is a screenshot taken from YouTube video.

I pre-ordered Pixel 3 and now I am a bit worried.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
That's the same video that caught my eye. Matthew Moniz has a video about the notch that shows both phones with two different temperatures as well. He doesn't mention it either. I am hoping Erica Griffin does a test on it, but she topically only buys the larger version...
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yadao:
Coming from the 2 XL, my main concern is that it's better than that panel. If it is, then I'm happy.

To me, that notch is still enough to make me avoid the 3 XL even if it has slight better color temperature. There's always gonna be something better, bright, whiter, whatever. I'm looking at the overall package at this point in the game and the regular 3 is the better compromise for me.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigdave79:
I went to the Verizon store today and also noticed a difference in the color temperature of the displays. But I could've sworn the XL had the warmer panel. I'm sure there a ton of variability between screens even among the same model especially so soon after release. Not a big deal but I liked the XL screen a bit better especially when watching media. To my eyes the difference between 1080 and 1440 is noticeable. The regular 3 screen is also much smaller than I thought it would be. I figured it'd be pretty close to my Samsung Galaxy S8 but it's a good deal smaller. So I cancelled my Pixel 3 pre-order and went for the XL.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Yes, the display on both models is considerably better than the pixel 2 series. I wonder if anyone could compare them to the OG pixels? I loved their screens.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Beretta143:
I watch a lot of videos on the net and I realize as the screen of Google pixel 3 to a pink tint ??
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] GizmoFreak:
I cancelled Pixel 3 and ordered Pixel 3 XL.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Beretta143:
Hi, I really hesitate between the two versions now.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] fitchpuckman:
I took a fairly janky photo the other day at the Verizon store and the screens looked identical. Both phones in max brightness, adaptive color setting. They looked identical (that's why I took the photo). Unfortunately I couldn't move then from their secure displays, and actually was quite a bit off center for the pixel 3 because another customer wanted to spend 30 minutes with then like I was :D. The demo models had a purple-and-yellow gradient background image on them, which also looked identical on each phone. I couldn't actually handheld the devices at the time, though, so it's hard to get a good comparison, but the screens looked really great regardless. I'm not worried in the slightest at this point. We'll see if the internet starts up a new conspiracy about screen issues, though.

[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rkial:
I looked at the 3/3Xl side by side in 2 different stores yesterday. The smaller one is definitely warmer .. looks more saturated.

Made sure both were at 100 % brightness. No adaptive brightness. Adaptive display color more on both.

Both looked very nice compared to my 2XL.. but the smaller one did look like it had its saturation turned to 11.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
My concern is that the whites are just not as white on the regular pixel 3 and it will effect how we perceive the image quality of the photos we take. I make quick edits on my phone using Snapseed all the time, and I don't want it to look different than what I expect.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NuclearBastard:
Well as mentioned in another thread here (the iFixit teardown), the smaller's display is LG while the XL is Samsung.

https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Google+Pixel+3+Teardown/113763

Bummer... time to wait for more reviews to see differences.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jivenjune:
I just received my Pixel 3 and compared it to my 2XL, and I'm so glad I did because I was ready to jump the gun and assume it was a horrible display as soon as I found out it was made by LG. I don't know how it personally compares to the Pixel XL 3, but the Pixel 3's screen is just flat out better when compared to my Pixel 2XL. The viewing angles are vastly better. There isn't a huge color shift when tilted. The colors seem significantly more vibrant. There seems to be less black crush (not perfect).

I was really considering returning my Pixel 3 until I compared the display to my Pixel 2XL. Man, I am glad I did, because I often found that my 2 XL with a case+whitedome screen protector were way too heavy and nearly impossible to use one handed. To be fair, I also prefer smaller phones. I would've bought the Pixel 2 instead of the 2XL if they had just maintained the same design. And I definitely loved my og Pixel over the og Pixel XL.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NuclearBastard:
A small update -

I visited a Verizon store yesterday, and it does seem that the screens are different in temperature. The 3 had a bit cooler temp than the 3XL, but they both looked amazing. I set them both on the 3 color modes and they were a tiny bit different than one another, but again they are both really nice and look calibrated well.

I'm still on LG G4, which has an amazing screen (LCD though), and the two pixels are amazing, compared.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Beretta143:
Hi, thank you for all these returns on the screens.

I am now waiting to receive my Google pixel 3 128gb. In any case you reassure me.

Anyway I will not hesitate to send it back if the screen was of poor quality and take XL version.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
As mentioned, the screen on the Pixel 3 looks great and way better than either of the Pixel 2 phones. The issue is the P3 is not as nice IMO, and will likely not be rated as highly as the 3XL. I just can't believe that all the "tech experts" who were invited to the Google Event didn't notice this in the past week they've had the phones.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NuclearBastard:
Well, in my own personal opinion, both screens looked great and well-calibrated.

I also think they are both calibrated correctly, and it's just minor temperature differences. Plus, i'm also betting lots of people just "sense" that something is different between the two, without realizing that the resolutions are different as well (1080/1440p).

And again, I compared both to my LG G4, which at the time was considered having one of the best LCD screens around and calibrated well, and they both looked nicer.

I wouldn't be worried as much to replace it or something, I'll still probably get the smaller one.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jetfin:
The Pixel 3 has an LG screen. The Pixel 3 XL has a Samsung screen. I'd say that explains the temp difference sufficiently.

[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
I've been using my pixel 3 all afternoon, and I like the screen more than I did my pixel 2 screen.

Everyone has different preferences I guess though.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] GizmoFreak:
Obviously those screens are better than previous gen Pixel's. But if you compare 3 with 3 XL then you will see the difference.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
I will have the pixel 1, 2, and 3 all in my possession today and will report back with my findings on the differences in display quality.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
I suppose. I have a Galaxy S9 next to it right now, and I guess the S9's screen looks better... But not by much / not in any obvious way. Seems subjective.

Again, each to their own. I don't really care if it is the BEST screen in the world, I care if it is good/good enough. And it is for me.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
I just hate knowing Google advertises these phones as equals but the XL clearly got the better display.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Okay, here they are! From left to right, pixel 1, 2, and 3.

Despite the camera not showing it well, It's clear that the white of the of the pixel 1 is whiter than the newer phones. Granted, I only had the phones for a minute, so this is the only shot I could get. But the display settings for both the P2 and P3 were set to boosted. I forgot to change them to adaptive. The P1 doesn't have any display controls and appears crisp and vibrant. I just don't understand how it seems that Google has gone backwards from the OG pixel?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
I guess... They all have a slightly different color temperature, but all of them look fine to me.

Compared to my pixel 2, my pixel 3 definitely has a cooler color temperature. Not as cool as the pixel 1 but cooler than the pixel 2.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachi315:
So boost it, everyone hated on th pixel 2 xl screen but LG excels in deep blacks where Samsung fails i had my 2 xl on saturated and tried every mode on the pixel 3 to try and mimic those deeps blacks to no avail. In your display settings change the color scheme Google put it there for this reason change it and then see if your temperature is to low you should be all good
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Someone suggested an app called Screen Balance from the play store and I LOVE IT! I was able to fix the color temperature to something more neutral with just a few quick taps in the settings. Now the screen of my Pixel 3 looks more like the P3XL (minus that god awful notch lol)
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
i though the 3 had a LG panel and the 3XL had a samsung panel?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Correct
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] resident0915:
There are variations of temperatures within just pixel 3, not even counting the XL model. Here are two of mine next to each other.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bigdave79:
Yup. Same with the 3 XL. I RMA'd my device because of the bottom speaker distortion and the second unit I received had a much warmer color temperature and even had much worse blue shift! I decided I wanted to keep my original device so I spent an hour on the phone with Google support being passed around like a cheap hooker until the final dude said just use the original RMA label we sent even though the IMEI is different.

Speaker distortion seems to affect all units to different degrees. My brother in law's device and the unit I got as a replacement are equally as bad as mine.

I also noticed that the RAM memory is also from different vendors - Hynix on my original device and micron on the new one.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
#MadeInChina ?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] smallsmx301:
That's always been the case. Different parts from different manufacturers. I don't know a single screen manufacturer that doesn't have variances from panel to panel
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] matteventu:
I personally like the screen of the Pixel 3.

It's not as good as my Pixel XL one (when it was new, because now after two years it got all more yellowish), but still it's fine for me.

And yes, I can definitely see the black smear that Pixel XL doesn't have. But luckily I never use my phone's below 50% brightness. It's still annoying knowing they got a worse display than the first generation though.

A tip: use either Natural or Booster mode.

I kind of like Adaptive mode because it has way cooler colours than the other two modes (which I prefer), buy it really is much less accurate.

And, in addition to this, Adaptive mode seems to NOT support the wide-gamut colour management (supported natively by Android from Oreo onwards, and for app that decide to implement the support for it).
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
I didn't notice the smearing or black crush until a couple night ago when I was watching youtube videos in bed with the lights off. If anyone in the video was wearing dark colored clothes, the image would look like one solid mass of black, with no detail or definition to show that the clothes had any texture. It was super weird.

There is a free app on the play store called Screen Balance that completely fixes this issue with a simple toggle. You can tweak it further if you wish, but it also fixes the white balance as well, leaving me with more natural looking whites. I highly recommend using it with the regular Pixel 3. That LG panel is better than last year's 2XL, but still just not as good as the OG Pixel.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
Does screen balance app drains battery?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Nope
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mr.mb:
That's not normal, I guess.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mjnoles1:
I believe it may be a quality issue. I say that as I was at Verizon last night and compared side-by-side the 3XL and the 3 due to reading this thread prior and to me the 3XL looked a lot worse, much warmer and dull looking compared to the 3. The 3XL whites did not look white, while the 3 whites looked like what is supposed to look and the colors were much more vibrant.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Which display mode were they set to?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mjnoles1:
They were both set exactly the same as I thought it was a setting situation. So I changed the settings side-by-side to the exact same everything. If I recall, I set it to adaptive (I think but not positive, I am positive that I set them the same though)
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] BootloopedMillennials:
So black smearing and crush can be fixed by Google with a software patch? I hope they care enough to fix it. Getting a Pixel 3 this week and very worried about the screen and speaker issues I keep reading about.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] fightnight14:
I bought the Pixel 3 at launch, RMA'd it because of black crush and smearing it was so bad! It's similar to the Pixel 2 XL so it was a no-go for me. It also overheated a couple times while using a 3rd party charger. It didn't have speaker problems (only the XL variant) and it has less color shifting as the 3XL but black crush was a deal-breaker because I watch a lot of videos especially at night.

I just got the Pixel 3 XL from Black Friday sale. It doesn't have black crush but the speakers were distorted and unbalanced (bottom was louder). Now to make things interesting a couple days later, Google released the December update that fixed both the imbalanced audio of the stereo speakers and the distortion as well. It was a big update in terms of squishing all the bugs and issues of the Pixel series. The black crush level of the 3XL is almost the same as the regular Pixel 2 which was a relief to me since I upgraded from it. I loved that display but it was getting too small for my needs

I don't recommend the regular Pixel 3 at all because the black crush is a real deal-breaker. Sometimes you see nothing but a huge chunk of black especially watching Daredevil and Sabrina from Netflix
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
I probably shouldn't say the app fixes the problem, but merely masks it. It's not a deal breaker for me since almost everything else about the regular pixel 3 had been great.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Pteer Griffin:
I have an unlocked S8 which was purchased from the Canadian Samsung store. Did the update which the info only mentioned Oct 1, patch and the file size only came in at 183MB. No super-slow mo and AR emoji. I thought all unlocked phones updates go through Samsung. I am with Rogers, but was it Rogers that told Samsung to remove super-slow mo and AR emoji for S8 owners?

Did anyone from Canada even get the full 500MB update with both super-slow mo and AR emoji? Is it only for Exynos?
