[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] freebee269:
The main reason I came back to pixel line is because of iOS. I just don't like iOS nearly as much as Android. I have been on iOS for about a year. I had pixel 2 XL but the display turned me off and I went with iPhone x. I can honestly say after having this phone there is no way I'm going back to iPhone. Unless next year the pixel line is just bad. Overall I'm happy with my pixel 3 xl. I still have my iPhone Xs Max though. I bought it out. Debating if I want to sell it or give it to my son.

But the only way you will feel the same way is by playing with the pixel 3 xl for a couple days and coming up with your own conclusion.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] freebee269:
Today is day 2 and this is where I'm at so far after taking it off the charger 3h 45min ago. So that's 16% every sot hour. If you do the math and this stays consistent then I'll have about 6 hours of sot. Not bad at all.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
I've gotta say, I'm very happy I upgraded from my 2 xl. I was very on the fence, especially because of the notch. Two days in, I don't even notice it at all.

The battery life is about the same. I take it off the charger at 6:30 am, and by 10 pm I still have about 50%-ish. And that was with heavy use yesterday getting all my apps setup and playing with the phone. I haven't even restricted battery or data for anything yet. I did that on most apps on the 2 xl. I'm pretty sure I'll get even better battery life as I make my usual changes and after root.

The screen is amazing looking. Compared to the 2 xl it's like night and day. And I liked the screen on the 2.

The wireless charging is awesome, especially on the pixel stand.

The only thing I miss from the 2 xl is the matte metal back. It just felt amazing. This glass back feels weird, not bad but weird, and the edges not being matte just makes them feel somewhat slippery. I'll definitely be keeping a case on it most of the time. I hardly every had on on my 2 xl. Anyway, very nice upgrade!

For me, the iPhone is still number one in my list and my go to. I don't mind iOS as I have had just about every model of the phone and am well used to it by now. Yes it could be better or a bit more "open" so to speak. But I understand why its not. Plus the integration between Apple products (MacBook, Apple TV, HomePod, apple watch, etc) is really second to none. Other OEM's are starting to catch up quick in this department but they are at a point yet where I'd consider switching. So thats a huge factor for myself and many others. And then speaking just to the iPhone itself, it's just an excellent experience to use. The hardware is easily the best on the market in terms of build quality and premium feel. They made leaps and bounds in terms of the camera and notifications. I really don't have any gripes about it. All that said, I really like the pixel so far. The build isn't as premium, however the the fit is great and the finish is something like I've never seen before. The iPhone uses higher end materials and does so excellently, but the pixel makes slightly less premium materials feel more expensive than they really are. Both phone are really damn nice. If the speakers on this pixel weren't such junk and the screen didn't have the occasional black clipping problem when watching videos, I'd be half tempted to say the two phones are dead even. But for me the iPhone still edges out the win, only if it barely does so.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lyall29:
It really depends on what you like to do on your device. For me, I watch a lot of videos of all kinds. IMO the iPhone Xs Max is better for that. I tried the Pixel for 2 days next to my Xs Max, the picture quality and the sound is better to me. If I didn’t watch a lot of videos on my device, then I would rather have The Pixel 3 XL.

Does everyone else's Pixel 3 haptic feedback raddle so much that it creates a buzz that sounds just as loud as having touch sounds turned on?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] t2jbird:
This can be adjusted in accessibility settings.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] cstark27:
Yes.

Thanks, mine was set to High by default, and I see High, Medium, Low, Off options. :good:
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] arby80:
The haptic feedback settings for non stock applications also seem to be very different.

For instance in SwiftKey when you turn off the stock vibration it feels completely different. Using non stock it feels like a vibration on other phones. With the stock vibration it feels more like a click.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
Yes, this was the FIRST thing I noticed when setting up my phone. It was SUPER annoying!

All the reviewers keep saying how great the haptic feedback is and how it's almost as good as an iPhone. I agree the iphone's is nice, but this one does not impress me any more than the Pixel 2. I'm not saying it's bad, but does anyone else notice the vibration when you tap the bottom of the screen (for example, the back button), seems to originate from the top of the device. It feels very disconnected from where the taps are taking place on the screen.

At least with the PIxel 2, the entire phone vibrated seemingly equally no matter where I tapped. Either way, I just turn off vibrations for on screen buttons anyway. They drain the battery and don't make any sense. My brain already knows I'm touching a flat surface that isn't moving, so why try to trick it into thinking otherwise with a vibration?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] matteventu:
Yes, it's damn annoying. If you look at the teardowns you'll see Google had put the vibration motor like next to the fingerprint sensor ???

****ing morons.

Apple and Meizu put it right next to where the home button used to be.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
I love this phone, but reviewers give it way too much praise for as many flaws as it has. Definitely not worth the $800 price tag.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] pbigband:
It's been super confusing to me too!!
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jemeljsh:
This is so true.. Me, the ultimate phone whore, looking for that most ideal phone for me, who runs trough all phones possible (pixel 3 is my 5th phone in a period of 6months (iphone x, s9+, iphone xs max, pixel 2 :D) was also super thrilled when I was hearing them reviewers claiming that the haptic feedback on pixel 3 is the best ever on an android phone.. Bull****..while its quite nice to type with vibration set to low (only setting which makes it ok sound wise) its still the same ****ty haptic feedback as on any other android. None of them come close to that of an iphone, where it feels supernice and natural, especially on the smaller ones where the palm covers the phone in full.

Nonetheless, for me, Pixel 3 is the best phone out-there - great performer at very compact size with best camera* (*photos)) in business + I really like how google skinzzzz its OS - colors, animations, widgets, all of its just looks nice.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schreckles:
Hey all,

So recently, I've made myself a build of RattlesnakeOS for my Pixel 2 (as yet uninstalled, but I plan to tomorrow) but one thing I'd like to learn to do is get a basic start on learning to port ROMs, specifically AsteroidOS to the Casio WSD-F20 I wear on a daily basis. I found the porting guide at https://asteroidos.org/wiki/porting-guide/ but I'm not really sure where to start with this in order to learn more about Android development in general. Is there any kind of beginner's guide, specifically for this that I could use as a first project to learn or anything? Would I be better off tinkering with Android development on one of my phones first?

Any help for a dumb (well, inexperienced, at least) newb would be greatly appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Mxzyptlyx:
I am using magnets affixed to my hard case so I can mount the tablet to a somewhat otherwise difficult to mount location in my vehicle. The magnets I have placed on the hard case seem to have no noticeable effect. But as I place the tablet to the secondary magnets affixed to the vehicle, the screen goes black and will only come back on when removed from the mounted position. I am fairly sure this is the action taken by the tablet when the magnetic cases some use is closed which triggers the screen to standby. Is there ANY way to disable the magnetic field sensor? This seems now to be my only solution.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] ashyx:
I would just move the magnet. Its only triggered in one particular spot.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lobstercat:
Hello, I have an LG G4, just picked it up off eBay. Running latest (2017-04-01) Android MM 6.0 20x, Kernel 3.10.84 on a T-Mobile branded H811, unlocked and rooted with TWRP 3.2.3-0-g4 and SuperSu 2.79 installed. Installed Dual Boot Patcher 9.3.0.r806, ES Task Manager, and Link2SD, among lots of other stuff.

So, ES and DBP gained root privs and all changes seem to occur at the time I make them, but a quick refresh and everything is back the way it was. In ES startup manager for example I can disable some apps but they are never really disabled. DBP always needs to set the kernel, never remembers it though. I mention L2SD too because THAT one seems to work. I thought LookOut (included security app) might be messing things up so I "froze" it and it still seems to be frozen. The night and the problem are both still young, but just throwing it out there if anyone might have an idea - maybe some setting someplace that prevents some apps from changing important stuff even if they have root access.

Thanks for your time, if any more info would help let me know. Hope you're all having a great night!

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Which model v30 do you have? If you frankensteined the phone, what is your former model number?

Are you running any custom kernel or a custom rom? or just rooted stock firmware?

Are you running any kind of custom themes? What magisk modules are you running, if any?

In the 2nd log, I see a TON of references to "VolumeShaper"... Right before "ADSP" crashed.

Googling ADSP, I see two definitions...

"Qualcomm moving to Applications DSP (ADSP)"

ADSP also is "Advanced Digital Signal Processor"

I'm just curious what that VolumeShaper is because it's standing right there at the scene of the crime.

Sent via open market LG US998 V30/V30+
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] zacharias.maladroit:
Could be that VolumeShaper is just a bystander but it doesn't rule out any connection, yeah

https://medium.com/@tomdeore/hexagon-dsp-cpu-offload-4fb8e4077fe8

<-- this gives a bit more info,

so it could be related to image and video processing (Gallery perhaps ?)

You have many token pictures or videos and images on your phone ?

Does resetting Gallery help ?

Installing a different gallery app ?

Backing up those pictures/video to PC and removing from phone helps ?

Headset/headphones plugged in ?

Modem (RIL), 3G/4G active ?

Also happens with only WiFi ?

There are several factors to take into account ...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] PsychicNoodles:
Thank you for your responses!

Original model was the US998U. Everything is stock other than the root -- it's on the 20d firmware from here as linked from this root guide. No custom themes or Magisk modules running, and it's on the Magisk 17.1 from that guide.

Hmm, that's a bit of a funny idea, the Gallery app causing the entire phone to crash periodically. I just have whatever Gallery app is preloaded, which seems to be version 6.20.21. I'm also using Google Photos, but I don't have many photos saved on the device (I have wiped it a few times trying different firmware versions and seeing if the crashes are due to a specific app, but no luck so far).

The crashes have happened both with headphones plugged in and not. Bluetooth, NFC, and location are all generally off too, only WiFi and mobile data. I'll try with only WiFi though and see if that makes a difference.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] zacharias.maladroit:
That's only one direction to investigate in though,

as adsp points towards image/video processing there could be several ways how that specific hardware bit or its driver can be tickled funnily (e.g. using camera app, video recording, processing of videos, corrupt videos, filesystem corruption with broken videos feeding broken data to the dsp leading to crashes, etc. etc.).

Also if you can make out a pattern during which these seemingly "random" reboots happen, there's a higher chance to track it down.

Since you already had root on the phone - is there output/logs in /sys/fs/pstore ?

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] ohioDroid:
With the Pixel 3 out, I decided to purchase a Pixel 2. I found one on ebay described as recently new but lightly used, bought from Google, and decided to take the risk. Received it today. The hardware appears to be in great condition, although I don't know if it's an original or RMA. I cannot unlock the bootloader with fastboot.

The phone came with the October 2018 build PPR2.181005.003. Whenever I factory reset the phone, I can enable Developer Options and on the first boot, "OEM unlocking" is an available option, and is set to enabled. When I reboot to the bootloader, 'fastboot flashing unlock' always returns 'Flashing Unlock is not allowed'. I have also tried unlock_critical. I've tried a few combinations of Factory Reset, providing internet access with WiFi, or adding my Google account, or both. I've tried disabling the OEM unlocking option right after the first start up and re-enabling it. So far, every permutation I've tried fails. I've also tried is 're locking' the bootloader, which fails because it's already locked, and changing the boot slot (it's on b), which also fails because it is currently locked.

The result of 'adb shell getprop sys.oem_unlock_allowed' is 0.

The result of 'adb shell getprop ro.boot.cid' is 00000000.

The result of 'fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability' is '1', so unlock *should* work...

The phone always starts with an option for Project Fi.

Is there anything I can do? I am not the original owner of the phone but as far as I know, all Pixel 2s are still under two-year warranty. Also, I am a Verizon customer with a Verizon sim card I will eventually put into this phone, with a grandfathered Unlimited Data plan. The main reason I wanted to unlock the bootloader was to gain access to modify build.prop so I could enable WiFi tether - which may not be necessary if a straight-from-Google phone with a Verizon sim can tether anyway.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] obsanity:
Yup, at least on mine it looks like the developer settings notch switched to tall will show more icons. See screenshots. Obviously the notch is not shown on the screenshots but you see an extra icon on the status bar.

This would mean that default settings doesn't actually show the entire display and that Google did some software rounding with extra black space... WeirdView attachment 4621264View attachment 4621265
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] race2c:
if using nacho notch, does that affect the overall number of icons on either side?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] mwalt2:
I see the same thing; more icons fit (on the right at least) with "tall."
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] finsmaniac02:
I don't have enough notifications yet to see if there are more.

However, I assume you people see that when it's on tall, the notch actually extends lower - into the status/notification area (when you pull down)?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] largeselection:
The icons are small enough and the space big enough, why don't they just wrap to show 2 rows of icons? Or would that be crazy?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] motoridersd:
I think two rows of icons would look weird. Even at the smallest display size, I think they would be too crowded.

I just tested the Tall option and I get one more icon on the left vs the regular mode. If I use the small display size, I get the same. The normal out of the box mode shows three total, meaning two and a dot when you have more. With Tall or small I get three and a dot. With Small AND Tall, I get four and a dot.

I'd like to remove the clock. I don't use it much and would rather have more icons. With a persistent media player, I'm left with few spots left for other notifications.
