No issues at all. Except when I updated funtouch it locked me out of my Vivo public account and now it won't let me back in. Back to S8 until thIS nonsense with Vivo is worked out. Greatest hardware literally worSt software ever!!
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Me too had issue with Vivo public account after latest update but talked to Vivo support and resolve the issue after couple of hours.

Someone has changed the password(badly wherever did that)and Vivo needed to recover the Public account.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] smisi:
they did it again, someone change the password and i can´t log into vivo public account anymore. too bad this happens very often, the people are dump and want the account for them self idiots!
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Unfortunately some people are idiots.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Flyers88:
So what's the status now? Are you still having issues? Did you remove the battery management files and had issues after your last update? Or were the issues strictly related to the changing of the password on the Vivo public account?

---------- Post added at 05:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 AM ----------

Your issues were strictly due to the changing of the password, correct? Not the removal of the files?
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Not having issues with Vivo account.

Few minutes ego tried it and re enter the known password and accepted normally.

Vivo account has nothing to do with Vivo battery management services.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Flyers88:
Ok, I'm just trying to understand. So the issue WAS caused by the deleting of the files?
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
No was caused by an idiot that tried to mess up with Vivo account and screw up the password.

Vivo account has nothing to do with removing Vivo battery management.

Is it complicated process to do, and can you back-up beforehand on the phone or do you have to copy files to a PC? No Vivo account that is
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
No there’s no backup process once you uninstall any kind services or app the only way to restore it is by doing hard reset your device.

No Vivo account required for uninstalling anything you want.

The only other solution is Vivo officially completely remove aggressively behavior of their own battery management.

But they don’t listen our feedback so we are left on our own.

Yeah thought so, thanks again.

[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Not at all.

Is good as before.

Vivo battery management was a nightmare never Vivo should implement those garbage.

Android battery management is enough not needed extra services.

We want and buying smartphone and not future-dumb phones as Vivo unacceptable wants for their device with stupid software restrictions and hilarious services.

You could have bought the global software version......?
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
When bought Chinese version end of June global version didn't exist.:silly:

It took over 2 months later when you could purchase it from on line store.

On the other hand IMO the only visual different between Chinese and global version is that global does not have Chinese bloatware and Vivo account issue like Chinese,BUT it has the same restrictions as well as same philosophy meaning the same aggressive battery management that killed anything working on the background out of box.;)

So neither global version was or is a solution but simple user of that phone need to take further action like removing Vivo auful battery management services.:rolleyes:

And now working like a charm.:cool:
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] blackinfinity:
The biggest drawback with chinese version for international users is the smart button become pretty much useless, you can remap it..but I did not succeed to do it.. I think the chinese version probably get more updates it might be a benifit.

Regarding battery mangement.. I have heard that it does not shut down apps the same way the Chinese version does.

Anyway funtouch 4.5 is around the corner I hope it has an overall improvement.. But honestly... its high time to redesign it and release 5.0 Vivo need to re imagined to the software little bit. I dont think they should leave the iOS look of the OS I think it looks refreshing for being android device.. its always been kind of obvious that iOS have won people over who prefer a stylish design of the OS, android has never been that. When comes to software Vivo is right now traveling the same path as huawei did... vivo will also be forced to make the software more adapted to the international users, chinese population have a kind of specific taste in software that does not really work internationally.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
No this is not truth, global version also has very aggressive battery management as well out of box.

There's planty of reports global version owners over here XDA thread that complain about issue had with getting notification on time.

As for the rest you wrote i totally agree.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] blackinfinity:
Yes you are probably right but I think I remember in the global rom notifications are whitelisted/enabled out of the box compared to the Chinese version where you have to do this manually.

Ask someone who has not set up the Google account to back up the phone with LG Bridge or LG Switch, DO not back up photo, text message, contacts, just back up the settings and screen lock settings,

You will get a backup file with LBF file extension.

You need to find a way to restore the LBF file ( NO FRP lock) with LG switch, this way works on some Android 8.1 devices.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Floenum:
My galaxy note could not access the internal sdcard even with root.

So this happened with RR rom when i was trying to download something in chrome, then chrome gave an error that i couldn't download because it couldn't find any path. So i open zarchiver and it says access denied.

Then i go into TWRP, did a full wipe with internal sdcard then a clean flash and the problem still exist.

Then i decided to flash xperia z ised rom and xposed, the problem gone. but after 10 minute the problem came back.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi [MENTION=8860801]Floenum[/MENTION],

I have the same problem with RR rom, but only the very latest (stable) RR.... 5.8.5 build, on Nougat. Under version 5.8.4, the issue was fine and could access storage.

But if I did a dirty or clean install of RR 5.8.5, then suddenly, the Ext SD card disappeared within the OS. Any other version of the RR, before it, or any other rom from JellyBean upto Nougat, would work... except the last RR build. I was told it was my SD Card being corrupt, despite it working in TWRP and all other Android Roms, just ONE BUILD refused to work. If you install "FX File Explorer" and then choose the option to "CONNECT TO STORAGE" then that way it will work, and you can access that storage again.

That said, I also have the same issue as you with INTERNAL SD, when using Oreo roms.... Hence gone back to Nougat for now....

First backup your internal memory data in your pc. Then reset your phone & format your internal storage via twrp recovery. After that follow below steps.

Follow steps :

1. First flash fastboot miui globle Stable rom on your device. Set up your device.

2. After that install Orangefox Recovery on your device via Fastboot.

3. Now download your favorite rom. Boot your phone into recovery mode.

4. Clean wipe recommended.

5. Flash your rom without Gapps. Just flash rom then reboot. After rom setup. Now again go to recovery mode then flash Gapps. & reboot. (flash Lazyflasher zip allso).

Done.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mrcet007:
I have used Nexus 6p for 3 years and was holding off from upgrading to Pixel 2XL since I wanted to see what Pixel 3 Xl offers.

New Pixel 2XL is available for $500 including tax while same cost $955 in my country. Essentially I would be paying prices of two Pixel 2XL for Pixel 3XL.

I have sufficient money to buy the Pixel 3XL but it's not like I have lots of cash lying around to burn.

Out of the features not coming to Pixel 2XL, I mostly care about Top shot(Is Top shot really a hardware feature?) and Super Res Zoom only.

https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...ing-older-pixel-phones-will-remain-exclusive/

Questions

Should I just buy Pixel 2Xl and skip Pixel 3XL? Pixel 2Xl will anyway receive android Q & R, so I will be up-to-date on android for 3 years.

Main concern I have with Pixel 2XL is the poor screen with blue shift, bad colors and black crush. Are these issue by Google in the latest hardware revision of Pixel 2XL?

How is the non-gaming performance of Pixel 2XL after 1 year compared to Pixel 3XL?

Is Top shot be available on Pixel 2XL through modded APK?

Is the PVC really updated? https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Google+Pixel+3+XL+Teardown/113656 says it's not, however, XDA reported its updated.

Has anyone here chose between 2XL & 3 XL after Pixel 3XL launched? Please share your thoughts.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ericprince811:
Pixel 2 XL Oreo 4 the win

Here's my 2 cents. Go with Pixel 2 XL and force it to Oreo. Google has been updating firmware to accommodate the common customer who does not know how to restrict apps from draining battery life. Along with that the update has caused a significant decrease in battery life for the advanced users because they knew how good the battery life was before the update. With that in mind they have upgraded to the pixel 3 and they have created a new software for it. However that power saving system is still in there. So if you are looking for performance, compatibility, battery life. then stick with the pixel 2 XL and you should be able to have a more stable battery life even without rooting your phone. Oh and a side note that really made it a deal breaker for me is that the battery life is even less comparing the pixel XL 2 to the pixel XL 3.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] aramisathei:
There isn't enough difference with the XL 3 to justify the price.

Performance-wise the XL 2 does just fine, and I'd recommend testing it in-store, so if you have screen issues you can just return it right there.

Pixel 2 XL still has a great development future... P3xl is expensive for few spec upgrades!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MrWhite0429:
I just received my new 64gb p2xl last week. I didn't see much difference between the two of them to justify the extra 500 bucks. I was a long time Galaxy user and Ive been beyond happy with my 2xl. Root is super easy, the screen seems perfectly fine to me. However everyone's eyes are different. I have no issues with TWRP. Id save the cash, Google store is offering trade installed now for new pixel devices. Trade an old device in, pick up a 2xl for 600 bucks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] shishimaru1000:
1) If you can wait, buy Pixel 3 later.

2) Honestly, I bought a Pixel 2XL in May this year and I still have to notice if it has blue tint shift. I don't really care to watch my phone on its side. But it does have black crush and it's annoying if you're watching videos on nights because you have to rise the brightness up. It's adjustable paying 3 dollars, with an app... I tried, but doesn't look that better to me. Anyway, I don't care. The display is still beautiful to watch. It really pops, so maybe that's why it has black crushes.

3) Performace is great, and even Xiaomi Mi A2 is great with a lower processor. Don't be worried.

4) I don't know, I think we don't have Top Shot at the moment. Yeah, it's cool.

5) I'm sorry, I don't know.

I'll buy Pixel 3 or Pixel 3XL, but definitely later IF the price will go down a bit. New features are cool, but the extra cash is not worth. Pixel 2XL is still officially sold by Google and supported for more two years I think.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Ygor Cortes:
I own a Pixel 2 XL and here's what I can say:

1. Unless you get a very very good discount on the Pixel 3 XL, I don't this the price difference is fair at all.

2. The display is actually VERY good. At first it looked very bad to me tbh, but within less than a week I started loving it. I even compared it with the Note 9 (on the Basic screen mode, which is the accurate one) and they're almost identical in terms of colours. Black crush though is TERRIBLE, but fortunately there's a FREE app that can fix it (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.knatech.colorfilter)

Just keep in mind that you need to set different values for different brightness levels. Unfortunately a lot of Android devices (including the Pixel 3 XL) have black crush too, but I do think the Pixel 2 XL is the worst on lower brightness levels. The display also has a paper-like texture, but this is very minor.

3. I can't compare it with the 3 XL, but the 2 XL is very good overall, but ram management is TERRIBLE, apps need to be reloaded all the freaking time and it drives me nuts. Even after Google's "fix" it's still terrible, to the point where music stops playing when I open the camera. This problem is also present on the Pixel 3.

4. You can already get Top Shot on the Pixel 2, you just have to download the right version of Google Photos (yeah, Google Photos! I know it sounds weird, but here's the link: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-photos-daydream/)

Just keep in mind that Top Shot isn't that great actually, as it takes very low resolution photos (3MP for the recommended ones and 1.8MP for the others.)

You can also download CStark's Camera mod that brings the other Pixel 3 features and improvements to the Pixel 2 and 1 (here's the link to the latest one: https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/P3v9.1_GoogleCamera_6.1.021.apk)

5. No, the Pixel Visual Core is the exact same model, as you can see in teardowns.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] von_block:
You'll fastly get used to the blue shift.

I almost can't see it now.

The black crush is the real problem. It's horrible sometime especially for some content. For exemple, i have zero black crush while watching Linus Tech tips on YouTube but other YouTuber i get insanely high crush. It might have to do with black value used in content

Also download the pixel 3 camera from Cstark27 for the pixel 2 and you will have 95% of pixel 3 performance

[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] swejuggalo:
No. Nothing happened after entering ssid. It just refused to find the network no matter what I tried.

I use a Asus rt-ac87u with latest Merlin firmware. Maybe its my specific configuration and settings that is the problem. Good that a 3rd party app could solve it though... Still makes me wonder why built-in wifi connection manager could not handle it.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] Ambroos:
Hidden WiFi networks are generally not very useful. Any device that has your hidden WiFi network saved will constantly broadcast it's name, revealing it to anyone who really wants to know it anyway. And not just at your home, everywhere you go.

This is of course a valid XZ3 issue, but still, hidden SSIDs don't help anyone.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Eudeferrer:
In my opinion, it is totally worth it. I too wrestled with this question for long, but you also get better water proofing, an extra year of updates, wireless charging, a Samsung-made screen (instead of LG), some additional features that won't come to previous pixels. Coming from a Note 8, I have to say the difference is abysmal. The battery lasts me almost all day under heavy use (something my note was NEVER able to do), and the picture quality is unreal. I know the money part hurts, but trust me, you won't be disappointed. I for one have not really had any issue at with this phone. It is easily, the best phone I've ever had in a lot of levels.

---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------

BTW, Top Shot is great and who wants to wait months before it's actually available through a Rom (if it's even possible)? I used it last night at a club and got great shots of everyone.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vwgti18:
I would get it just for the screen alone. I upgraded from the P2XL to the P3XL and it took me a week to get used to the screen but its so much better. If I was coming from the 6P I would definitely get it. The camera features will probably be ported over to the P2XL since they are mostly software, but spend the money now and skip the Pixel 4.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] smartymcfly:
The pixel 2 xl is going to be supported 1 year longer than normal due to the issues the phone had when it was 1st released. Instead of 12 month warranty, you get 24 month. And if you order extracare, it is increased an extra 12 months so it would be good for 3 years instead of 2.
