[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
About 4 months ago, my cousin got his hands on a Pixel 3 XL since his company does QA testing for Google devices. When I asked about the notch at that point, he said that it really is not bad in person. He played with my OnePlus 6 and told me the 3 XL notch isn't any worse, in real world usage. And now the reviews, including yours, seem to agree with what he told me. Now I'm curious to go see one for myself.

I really don't mind the chin, personally, just because front facing speakers would be amazing. The single bottom facing speaker on my OnePlus 6 really is not good at all.

Unfortunately, the immediate deal breaker for me is the 4GB RAM. Especially at that $899 price point. I'm not a spec chaser, by any means. But 4GB, at least in my usage, is not enough. Looking at the RAM usage of my OnePlus 6, I average 4.2GB - 4.4GB on a daily basis with normal usage. With my 2 XL, I'd find that the system would have to close down processes quite frequently to keep RAM in check. This lead to many app redraws throughout the day. It slowed the phone down and got quite annoying. Since switching to the OnePlus 6 with 8GB RAM (6GB would have been plenty), those issues are resolved. So, while I'd love to get that Pixel camera back and wireless charging would be great, I simply can't justify the cost for a phone that will inevitably be slower than my OnePlus 6. I'll hold out to see what the OnePlus 6T offers.

I already ordered the XL, however I checked out the phones in Verizon as well and the regular 3 seemed really nice as well! I'd be totally fine with it
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Kisakuku:
Went to a Verizon store, they had two Pixel 3 XL's (black and pink) and one Pixel 3 (white).

The glass on the front is a lot flatter than the 2 XL glass. The active area of the screen doesn't seem to come too close to the curved edges, so full coverage glass screen protectors should be a lot easier to design and attach compared to the ones for 2 XL.

The third item under Settings / Display / Colors is Adaptive instead of Saturated.

The new OLED screens are a lot more uniform than 2 XL screens. They look less grainy, I didn't see any colored splotches either. Whites appear somewhat cold / bluish when Natural is selected under Settings / Display / Colors.

Apparently, the screen lottery is still a thing for the third generation of Pixels. The black XL screen had a noticeable red tint when viewed at an angle, while the pink XL screen had a blue tint. The tint first appears at an angle somewhat greater than for the 2 XL, so I guess that's progress. The white non-XL also had a slight reddish tint when viewed at an angle, but it was a lot less pronounced.

(Comparison photos were taken at 100% brightness, natural colors, white and dark gray screen test image. Image quality is not great, as I was trying to dodge reflections and glare and keep the tethered display units in place.)

All 3 phones had 64 Gb of internal memory. Both XL's had Micron storage and the non-XL had an SK Hynix chip. All 3 units had Micron-branded RAM.

Android version was listed as 9, no 9.1. yet.

After seeing the demo units, I'm feeling OK about my black 3 XL 128 Gb order.

Do some more research before saying it can't be rooted. Nothing is unbreakable, it's a matter of time and effort. Without the phone in hand we know nothing.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] micks_address:
Great post - thank you. What does Device State Locked mean? Is that network sim locked or bootloader locked?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
locked bootloader.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] micks_address:
Thanks - they are likely to be sim unlocked? Id really love to buy one next Thursday while in the US if I could.. I don't have the funds to pre order on google store till Thursday and even if I did I don't think it would be delivered to my hotel in providence in time.. id be afraid I wouldn't have it by checkout time Friday morning and have to leave without it. I guess the sensible thing to do is bite my lip and have patience for 1st week of November release in Ireland/Uk...

I'm not sure even if I knew someone with a Verizon account could they just buy one for me with my cash and hand it over or would they have to sign up to some sort of Verizon contract extension.. etc... my trip coming one week too early :(

---------- Post added at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------

i chatted online with verizon rep and they said most phones you can buy with one month sim once off payment with no contract.. she sad they don't have info on pixel 3 yet and that with new phones it can be some time before its available.. probably still worth my while checking a store when i get there thursday to see what options are
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bsg411:
I never said its not rootable... I said it may not be. But yes we will have to wait and see. Deestroy from twrp has his order in so I'm hoping for the best.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
God I hope there's no screen 'lottery' this time... That was not a post I wanted to see. The 3 and 3xl units I looked at were perfect. No shift whatsoever. Hopefully the demo units from the other post were just flukes. After 3 tries, my 2 xl screen is nearly perfect. I am NOT doing that again this time. If my 3xl comes and has bad blue (or red) shift, it's going back. Seriously, after last year, if Google hasn't done anything about quality control, I actually will likely be looking at other OEM's... I don't want to, but I'm not playing this game anymore. Anyway, I guess we'll see next week!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
All the variants sold in the USA should be sim/carrier unlocked. There is only a few (or maybe only one) carrier in the UK who sold them with SIM lock,

However, I do not believe the phones will be available for sale until Friday the 19th, that is official release date I believe.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] razor237:
So i went to look at the demo units at my local VZ store and the notch isn't too bad and could probably live with it. from playing around with it is seems the software implementation around the notch is terrible. would it have killed them to round the edges on the top when the app didn't go into the notch area. it wouldn't auto rotate a little button to rotate showed up on the bottom when i rotated the phone and auto rotate was on i guess there was another option i didn't really look too hard for. The screen is nicer compared to my Pixel 2 XL i had with me, it goes more to each side edge so it does feel a bit bigger in that aspect but when an app stops at the notch it feels the same height, just my take on it.

One issue both demo units had that could be a big problem is the top left corner of the back the side with the camera felt squishy , when i pressed on it i could see it move i could even fit my nail under and it felt like it would start to come apart. I hope it just being a demo unit with those blocky brackets on the back adding extra stress to the back but it was only that corner.

Now im even more on the fence lol
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] micks_address:
Thanks I'm there all day Friday. I've had various responses from best buy chat..some say they are sim locked and I can't buy without a Verizon account. Others say that I can pay once off and walk away..will test the water's next week
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
Do be aware best buy only sells the Verizon variant, that will come with a locked bootloader, if they follow past history it wont be unlockable, at least for a long time, if ever.

If you plan to root and/or ROM the device you will need an unlockable bootloader to do so.

Also, you can do a one time payment for the phone online @ best buy site, no reason you cannot do the same in the store. Having said that, in the past, if you do one-time pay, they have tried to raise the price by $100. They tried it with me when buying iPhones, but you just tell them to check store.google.com and they have to price match.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] micks_address:
If you do the one time payment payment on the best buy site does it ask for any verizon account details?

[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] spoonymoon:
Thank you catman

But whit out installation instructions , which order , i don't think any one dares. Flashing these files, no matter how ichy we all are trying it, a number of things could easily brik our phone's in a way there's no returning from, so if you could share all you know , it might help , in somebody dare trying it

:)

Edit:

thx

But what is the meaning by this treble, I now I should google it, but these things we can already do, I mean OEM is easy installing, maybe in a different way, but what is new. Easier with treble?

Oh got it

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.androidauthority.com/project-treble-818225/amp/

Nice if you like stock, but I don't and would never install it, if any aosp is out or custom ROMs available for my device, stock sucks big time.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] cartman56:
Already post it, and somebody did tried to flash it and it works great , only one problem it did not support Android P
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] miffymiffy:
I tried them and it works

Problems i faced.

Home button didnt work

charge led didnt work

couple of other things...

I got aosp, rr, pixelexperience working.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] cartman56:
Sometimes **** happened but it just started and the original poster says it will keep updating so don't worry about it, BTW did you flash the official or homemade(???)
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] cartman56:
I think the meaning Is about experience, It always good thing to experience new things,and There is alot of customazi os you can choose , like rr los axe aicp............
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] miffymiffy:
I did both. Suns one from the weibo link you posted is the one that works.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] cartman56:
All of them the home button didn't work?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] spoonymoon:
Thx guys

Roms compatible with treble are links in weibo link posted by op?

I might not have looked probably
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] cartman56:
My English not taht well so I'm not sure what you mean, if you ask about who is the creater, i can tell you that isn't me, i just sharing his works that is all ? and the weibo link is straight to op?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] spoonymoon:
I mean where is links to ROMs?

Its all Chinese... And I'm a bit Rusty there :laugh:
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] miffymiffy:
The roms that are compatible are GSI 8.1 roms. Others don't work.

How I got it to work;

Flash twrp with treble support. Reboot to recovery.

Flash both vendor zips, reboot to recovery

Flash U11 treble zip, reboot to recovery

Flash Oreo GSI system image of your liking from https://xdaforums.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development

Flash U11 selinux zip. Reboot.

It should boot.

Also, make sure you backup in twrp beforehand as if it's not what you want, you can just restore.

For pixelexperience, I had issues with gapps verification. It wouldn't let me get around it.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] cartman56:
Search project treble inside XDA
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] spoonymoon:
Thx miffy

Do you mean backup in New twrp, or old, i assume old backups won't work anymore?

And is it right what treple checker says that our device i a device with only one partition, thus only flash a images , with gapps?

And treple check says no treble support, but that is because i didn't flash zips yet surely

And which roms would you recommend?

Are all gsi images compatible with our htc u 11 ?

I'm on rr and not stock, magisk installed, does this matter?

Sorry for all the q but better sure than sorry

Having What problems
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] vladislav1611:
After flash the GSI image phone stays on HTC logo. Next problem is that phone can't recognise the internal storage when you try to do something on TWRP. Of course, I flashed the selunix zip on the last step. Tested PixelExpirience and AOSP, Android 8.1, A-only
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] cartman56:
Did you do Clean flash before you flash GSI? and after the flash GSI you should do a FACTORY RESET

The first one i did but the second one no. Thanks. I'll try tomorrow again.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] K4Y3R:
Im currently looking for a charging combo where i can put my phone (oneplus 6) and the watch in/on at the same time.

https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B06XGC1QGY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This the one i wanna check out, but i dont really know if the apple watch charger works with the galaxy watch or if there is a fitting alternative for this stand..otherwise i have to be creative :D
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] tofylion:
I've seen the samsung galaxy charger duo which charges both the phone and the watch, and there are also a couple of alternatives on amazon if you search for duo wireless chargers
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] rklrkl:
One of the main reasons I pre-ordered my Galaxy Watch here in the UK was that it not only came with the standard single wireless charger that everyone gets, but it also came with a free Duo wireless charger! The Duo is OK, though I'm a bit surprised it used micro USB rather than USB C for power and that the section to put your watch on isn't magnetic like the single standard wireless charger is (I guess it's not so critical because its horizontal rather than vertical).

Both charging areas of the Duo have "fast charging" written on them, though is the Galaxy Watch even capable of that? I think the retail price of the Duo (89 pounds in the UK) is scandalously high - it's probably worth about a third of that. Single Qi chargers can be found for 10 pounds or less, so to charge 9 times that for a Duo is ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] K4Y3R:
Im guessing your right, but im looking for an alternative that wont charge your phone wireless too (because the op6 hasnt got wireless charging though)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] eloisant:
Same here, I have a Nexus5x (and no plan to buy a Samsung phone any time soon).

I might end up 3d printing a stand with usb-c for my phone. I just need to find some good Galaxy Watch charger for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] tofylion:
That actually seems like a pretty good idea. If you do try and do this, you could share the model you used for the charger. Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Tel864:
I honestly wouldn't expect an Apple charger to be compatible with anything but Apple.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] gd761:
I was in a Samsung Store and they have the Galaxy Watches on Display on the Chargers that look Great.

I would like to know How and Where and How Much.

How can I find the Samsung Galaxy Watch Charging Display Stand that I can Purchase?

Where is it Available to be able to Purchase?

How Much is the Official Samsung Galaxy Watch Charging Display Stand?

If Anyone Know then Please let Me know.

[MENTION=7377908]Borduni[/MENTION] is using a fork of my lineageos device tree so my modification to the mixer levels should already be included in his ROM.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] WOS17:
hi people, ive recently bought a RN5 (global), while waiting to unlock the bootloader id like to know

1. how to flash latest firmware?

2. is it necessary to flash custom roms?

3.is it necessary to flash custom roms based on miui?

4. which firmware is recommend?

thanks for your help.

PD. im on ARB4 sadly.:crying:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] raptorddd:
1. there are many ways. using the official sytem updater and searching for new updates. but if you are rooted and have twrp. i suggest to use either orange fox or red wolf twrp's they support OTA. thats for official miui. or you can download zip and use the sytem updater and using the 3 dots and data package.

or unlocked bootloader using fastboot rom 2.5GB and miflash tools. i think this is the best way when you have problems and needs a fresh clean installation. beware that at bottom the option its selected to relock bootloader . just change to clean. clean and lock will flash and lock bootloader.

2. depends am not sure in RN5 how is camera. most of the times when you dont use official rom from vendor camera quality decreases. say using stock firmware will give you best quality then when using AOSP LAOS.

if camera doesnt suffer from decrease quality then its good. your phone will be faster,more battery and there are lots of roms available. i have not tried AOSP or LAOS roms in RN5 thought.

2. i love masik rom over official rom. this is miui based rom. but no OTA. you have to manually flash new updates.

3. not sure about your question.

4. doesnt matter ARB. in ARB4 only thing that changes its that in order to have twrp permanent you have to do an extra step. ARB3 you flash twrp.img. and had to use lazy flasher file.

in ARB4 you have to boot twrp. then in twrp you must flash twrp.img to have pemanent. or use orangefox and thats it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Lazer Bear:
Hello:

1. Being you are on ARB4, I would be extremely careful flashing firmwares. It's generally not necessary anyways, although sometimes newer firmwares can contain some bug fixes. In the ROM section you can find a thread with a firmware collection, including versions of firmware that have been stripped of ARB and thus *should* be safer to flash. You can follow instructions in that thread if you decide you want to flash.

2. Of course not. MIUI is a decent ROM by itself.

3. Of course not. It's purely a matter of preference. All ROMs you will find for your device support your device (duh), regardless of the base used.

4.There is no firmware recommended per se, because firmware is released by Xiaomi, thus we don't really know what's inside. We can have a general idea sometimes if a bug fix was applied our if ARB was changed looking at the whole ROM release notes, but that's all.

Hope that helps you.

I know it has one slot my question is what if I use the xt720 dual SIM tray in the 727. Is it possible then?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] GaeDearg:
seems that you don't understand how this works.

the X727 has a single card tray due to it having a single SIM card slot on the board.

putting a dual SIM tray won't work as the phone doesn't have the second slot on the board, the dual SIM tray won't even fit due to it.

think as if you were putting a 20cm screw in a 10cm deep screw hole, do you get the analogy?
