Well... I tried the "boot from SD Card" method and it didn't work.

I don't think that the battery is dead, because when it is about to discharge a red LED light blinks for five seconds. Anyway... I'm still getting BSODs when I plug my device in the PCs' usb port(S), except Ubuntu which recognizes it as Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode) instead of Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. I don't know if that is the right driver and, if it is, how to work with it on a Linux distribution because as far as I know there is not a QFIL version for this OS.

If that could be helpful to find a solution: I've erased the entire eMMC using fdisk -d /dev/block/mmcblk0 in TWRP, maybe that's why PCs aren't able to read any data from it... and there is no way to recreate a partition table, apparently.

I just configured my new GW46 with my Pixel 2XL.

So far all works like a charm except I don't get incomming calls notifications thus not able to answer incomming calls. I can however make call on the watch. Weird.

I checked in Gear app and there is no incomming call option in notification. All permissions to Gear app and plugin are there.

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] J3zz:
First check on watch parameters, in application phone, if all was set to On.

At least if u don't have Ani incoming call go to phone settings Bluetooth check on watch info that on top its on

Hi Colleaues,

As you surely know, Pixel 2 XL has some problems with display. My question is regarding the issue with the difference of showing colours in Pixel and other smartphones.

The problem is best described in Marques Brownlee review of Pixel 2 - when you open it from 9:30 minute approximately to 12:30 minutes.

So the main question: The problem with RGB colour : Is it problem ONLY for Pixel 2 XL or also for smaller Pixel 2 ?

I know that Google released the security patch (somewhere in Nov last year) with the vivid option , but that probably is not the best solution.

Thank you very much for the answer in advance.

How does it perform? Worthwhile?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] asislife20:
It actually runs pretty well, but it's very touchy when it comes to what it will run on. I have only been able to get it to work on the stock rom, I have stock rooted with magisk manager hidden and magisk hide on for both firtnite installer and firtnite. If you use substratum then it boots you, and certain magisk module cause issues too.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sstanton86:
So my pixel 3 XL is arriving on November 1st (UK) and I'm curious about the battery.

Of course I know the phone is new, takes time to bed in, and for adaptive battery to work it's magic - however, I've read and watched videos on YouTube about how the battery isn't quite as good as the pixel 2 XL, which I find surprising.

I understand that the battery is a tiny bit smaller, but with the more efficient sd845 I would have thought it'd more than offset the loss of the smaller battery size. In quite a few comparisons they're saying the phone hits 0 much faster than the pixel 2 XL.

So for those of you with the phone, what are your own anecdotal feelings on this?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] uicnren:
so far, havent had much time to use the phone without it being charged on pixel stand.

I did leave it off the charger since yesterday, and it is on par or better than with my pixel 2 xl. right now it has 60% with 2h 20m of screen time, was off charger for approx. 14 hours, just had it plugged into computer for a few minutes to do a backup.

Doing just what I normally do (email, web, feed, etc), though I did watch a couple 4K UHD videos on youtube for about 20 minutes.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobbyphoenix:
I charged mine fully, and then non-stop used it right off the full charge since I just got it. I got over 6 hours SOT with 20% left. This was all while the phone was being set up, syncing, and being constantly played with. If I can get over 6 hours SOT a day, and still have juice left I'm quite happy with it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] westside80:
My battery life is almost exactly the same as what I got on my 2 XL. I'm good with that. It still would've been nice to get a little better battery performance. Also, my phone shut down last night at 5% battery left. Not cool. I'm gonna see if it shuts down early again tonight and if it does I'll have to send it back. I also noticed that the battery meter is getting stuck on certain percentages and then skipping a percentage here and there, just like my 6p, Pixel XL and 2 XL did. Must be a Google thing.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sstanton86:
Ok I'm happy with that. I love the battery on my pixel 2 XL, and it sounds comparable if a tiny bit better than what I currently get in stock.

That sounds like a calibration issue if anything, few charge cycles should help I would have thought :eek:
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] westside80:
Well I've just charged it once so maybe it'll get better. Every Google phone I've owned has had a battery meter that sticks on percentages here and there so I'm not looking for that to change. I just hope it doesn't keep shutting down early because that's something I'll send it back for.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Pure+:
Take this with a grain of salt as I do not have a sim card and only use as a media device but battery seems pretty good. At least on par with my iPhone XS Max which has one hell of a battery in terms of power consumption. Though with the pixel I probably get lower than average standby drain due to not having cellular.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] mgymnop:
Battery life is just OK I think. It gets me through a day with moderate use but not sure yet if it is better or even with the 2 XL.

Battery life for me so far is great. I'm sitting at 18% at midnight after being off the charger since 630am with just over 6hrs of screen on time.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Gilley:
Its just okay for me... I think I got better on my 2XL so far. Maybe 4-4 1/2 hours of SOT if I'm lucky... right now i'm at 80% with 38 min

I try to goto Greenify immediately to see the list of "who's talking to their mothership in the background".

.

I read the always "ON" display dragged the battery down and did not "really" add to the phone so much. . . . Is it 'on' by default ? . . . . I mean, if you're staring at the screen "that much", well . . . .

.

( for those with root ), Greenify made my last setup last more than two days / almost three ! . Subjective as to what need to always "run".
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] RickCain:
Battery has been pretty much a disappointment. It is nowhere near a One+ 6 or iPhone Xs Max - I'd even say worse than the Pixel 2XL.

Mainly disappointing since the screen brightness is so low even running full brightness outside makes it barely tolerable. This is after a couple of days but don't see it getting better.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] yungskeeme01:
How?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] xphyle1971:
How? I'm a heavy user but I don't game. Lots of internet via Chrome, tons of social media, pictures, etc. I turn off always on display and set it to turn on when I lift up the phone. I turn off Google location accuracy mode in settings and just use GPS. I don't use adaptive brightness. I don't sync/push emails. And I always have both wifi and data on. Just normal stuff. Nothing special. I don't use any battery saver app garbage. It's just stock. Been pleased with the battery.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Golf c:
Confirmation. Not as good as 2XL. But close. Max 8 hours SOT
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] yungskeeme01:
I just got my phone yesterday. Think I need to adjust some settings. Definitely need to turn off location and the brightness thing. Also, I'm on stock and have a much of new stuff on my home screen. Trying to remove that too. I'm not a gamer either so I should get good battery soon
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] xphyle1971:
Oh forgot a most important thing! I use a pure black wallpaper. OLED displays don't use any power to display the black color so it only uses power to illuminate the icons when you are using a black wallpaper. Saves a ton of battery. Use a black background wherever you can. Dark mode is your friend.

Question about location. Did you turn it off on the top or bottom? I remember when I was on andriod before there was a way to turn it off and on in the control center.View attachment 4624940
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sunNsnow:
My 3XL's battery drains a bit faster than my 2XL after putting it through a normal work day. From 93% at 5 am to 46% by 3:30 pm. My 2XL would be in the 50s% at the end of a work day in similar situations.

I'm hoping the battery needs time to settle. (And not because it has a better screen than the 2XL = battery hog.)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] dmb219:
I'm happy with my battery life so far. Have 3 hrs sot today and at 60%. Had an s9+, easily better that that. A couple days ago I forgot to put it on the charger at night & got 2 days. Settings are all stock, nothing turned off or down.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] xphyle1971:
Bottom! ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] yungskeeme01:
Thanks. I did that!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] westside80:
Battery life depends on the user. It's almost impossible to compare what I get with another user. I can get 6hr 30min to 7hr 30min SOT depending on how I use my phone day to day. If I play PUBG for an hour and a half I'm gonna get less SOT compared to the days when I don't play it. Battery life is very close to what I got on the 2 XL. It's definitely not worse but not much better either.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] MArtyChubbs:
I think everyone just got their phones and the battery life is always crappy until the phone settles in
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sstanton86:
Overall quite pleased with what I'm hearing.

I did think despite fractionally smaller battery it should still pull ahead of its predecessor due to more efficient sd845, but I guess time will tell as the battery settles!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] draiken78:
Mine is about an hour per day better than the 2XL so far. Averaging about 22 hours per charge, with 6 hours screen on time. Moderate usage, no games but at least 2 hours streaming Pandora while using Google maps per day.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] MArtyChubbs:
Maybe you guys should put some Battery apps on your phones? You might get some objective data on battery life. I'm getting an hour extra of screen time with the same behavior as on my pixel 2 XL with modified kernel and tuning script. Remember the chipset is like 30% more efficient and the battery is only 3% smaller. So unless you're using both to pixel 2 xl and pixel 3 XL at the very same time in the same fashion I don't think showing your battery percentage is helpful imho
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobbyphoenix:
I've been getting a solid 6-6/12 hours SOT daily, and it seems to be getting better which is expected as the phone settles in, and learns with the adaptive battery. I watched a lot of YouTube yesterday, and still had 6 hours SOT. I'm very happy. I thought I'd be getting around 4 hours with this battery.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
Compared to my 2 XL the 3 XL seems about the same. Easily getting 6h Screen On Time. Battery life is good, but no not fantastic.

End of day I'm always in the battery saver %. I don't recall that happening as much on my 2 XL.

I just wish I had a stock Android phone that could go 8+ hrs and still have everything enabled and running in the background.

Find the thread for your stock firmware and see if it is available there. This happens because of root and/or the unlocked bootloader. You have to unroot and possibly relock the bootloader to be able to take OtA updates.

Once the neon is released in US I am sure you will find more people making roms for it.
