[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Jaxidian:
Agreed. The pixel density is just fine on this. If it dropped to 720p then that would be a problem, but 1080p is just fine (unless you do VR with your phone, then it will be kinda crappy and you will miss the higher density).

I came from a combo of PH-1, P2XL, and Pixel 3 (mini), all of which higher pixel densities.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] LA_vision:
I came from a Moto X Pure and I haven't been bothered. It is a slight less crisp, but not a deal breaker for me.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tech_head:
I came from an Essential. No complaints.

My daughter has a Galaxy S8 and looked at the 6T screen and her first impression was that the screen was incredible.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] BossJ:
Yeah I came from the Note 8 and I was very concerned... I've always used Notes - and I love this screen. Plus the phone just destroys the Note 8. Battery life and speed and thank goodness for the UI... so nice.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] wendellc:
The screen is great! Better get it quick, I hear tomorrow is the last day for the promotion.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] shiftymccool:
Sounds like a winner :D Thanks a lot everyone!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] thedrizzle:
I came from the Note 8 as well, zero complaints as far as the screen is concerned. And the 6T really does kick the Note's ass when it comes to battery life and buttery smoothness. The fact that I paid $280 for this phone should be a crime. Actually, the fact that Sammy charges a grand for the Note 9 is the real crime. Do yourself a favor and pick up the 6T...even at full price its well worth it.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] jm700wx:
I came from a Pixel 2XL and the OnePlus 6T screen is much nicer. Pixel density may be less but you will never notice it unless you are doing VR with it.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] 4ester.by:
Oneplus screen flickers makes my eyes ache and get blurry after extended use. Does anyone else have this experience?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] __NBH__:
Screen looks good to me although sometimes I think the top half has a very slight red look compared to the bottom half, other times it looks fine and I think it's just my eyes. I came from the Nexus 6P and galaxy S8+ which both have higher resolutions and I'm not noticing the difference if I'm honest.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
I have note 9 and 6T, 6T isnt quite as bright and no 2k quality but for a 1080p amoled panel it is very good and very sharp. hard to tell between the two except for higher res and brightness
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] pguo:
I came from google pixel ,so the screen looks amazing for me. I use the screen at 75% brightness ,and it makes watching videos pleasant for long duration.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] jochem86:
This was also my worry but I really think the 6t is definitely more colorful
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] imucarmen:
I'll chime in just to reinforce what others have already said. I haven't had a none quadHD display on a device in 4 or 5 years so I was very concerned about if I would notice pixels on the OP6T. I even almost didn't buy one because I was telling myself 1080p wouldn't be good enough. I currently own the Pixel2XL as well and the display on the OP6T destroys it. Side by side the OP6T is far better than the Pixel2XL display. The OP6T is bright, crisp, sharp, great colors, lots of color options to tune the display to your liking, and it is just as good if not better than any quadHD display I've used.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] xdaninja:
Okay, ever since I updated to 8.1, and now 9.0, I have had extremely slow push notifications (gmail and other email clients, banking apps, social apps, etc. the only thing that works consistent is voice/text)

A lot of the time, I will get absolutely no notifications until I turn my display on, then all the notifications start triggering

Never had this issue with 8.0

Stock 9.0 with flash kernel and magisk (have always ran this configuration on any version, stock + flash kernel + magisk)

Any ideas? Thanks :)
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Solid_Eye:
had the same issue even tho I excluded it from battery optimization, an app reinstall solved it for me.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] xdaninja:
this isn't one particular app, it's all push notifications from all apps besides text messages and calls
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Solid_Eye:
did you try disable battery optimization?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] harisyks:
It's a long shot but have you maybe installed the magisk module to force Google Play services to drain less battery or something similar?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] xdaninja:
long shots always welcome! no modules installed at all, though
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] harisyks:
Since Gmail is a system app it will show in Safe mode. Have you tried booting to Safe mode and sending yourself an email?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] xdaninja:
not on as far as i can tell

"not optimized" when i open battery optimization
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] xdaninja:
thanks for the suggestion. same problem. took around 5 minutes for the notification to push
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] byproxy:
I know it's supposed to, but it's starting to annoy me that I have such a hard time swiping down for notifications because 7 out of 10 times I try, the screen turns off.

Any fix for this?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] fury683:
Are you using a screen protector? It could be interfering with the prox sensor. There may also be an issue with the phone app as the screen should only shut off with prox sensor when you're in a call. If the phone app is stuck it might think you're still on a call. Have you rebooted the phone? Uninstall/reinstall updates for phone?

Someone else had a similar issue last week here or on reddit. I'll see if I can find it.

I had the same issue (no screen protector also), dealt with it for about a week and finally called support about the issue. They told me that they have been dealing with other people who are having the same issue and did an RMA for me without much push back.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] byproxy:
So I cleaned my screen real good, especially there by the sensor. It's behaving normally now. It wasn't THAT dirty, but apparently it made a difference. It I have issues again, I'll call support.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] LonestarROB:
Hello everyone,

I really want a P20 Pro. I'm in the U.S. and would be using the factory unlocked Canadian ( CLT-L04 ) version of the phone via AT&T. It's soo much trouble getting this phone in the States. One of the things I'm most concerned about is getting the Android Pie update. It's supposed to start rolling out on the 10th, and I cannot find a concrete answer if I will be able to get it on my device. Contacted Huawei via facebook and asked and this was their response...

" Regarding your concern about updates; please bear in mind that, all of our updates are rolled out in batches according to the IMEI number and geographical region. If you own an unlock device, it will take a little more time to get updates. When the update are released, the carriers are in charge to send the update OTA."

When the update are released, the carriers are in charge to send the update OTA - That part has me concerned. Since I'll be on AT&T and it's not an officially supported device by AT&T, it sounds to me that I won't be able to get the update.

Anybody else in the U.S. that could help provide some insight on this?

Thanks in advance,

Rob
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] RiTCHiE007:
worst case is that you have to update it manually but that is pretty easy but i have no doubt that they will update every p20 pro to pie BUt it also depends on the carrier so getting a unlocked/unbranded device is a big plus for updates.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] LonestarROB:
Thanks so much for the info! So the listing says this... "Only International items are Factory Unlocked without carrier logo and/or region lock." Without carrier logo I'm assuming means unbranded ( excuse my ignorance, I've never purchased a phone I couldn't just pick up in the store ) . So I should be able to get the Pie update without issue?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] RiTCHiE007:
Yea seems like it and you can always flash some unbranded firmware tho if needed
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] LonestarROB:
Thanks! Sure hope you're right. Just purchased the last one the seller had.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] TadMorose:
Units sold by carriers in Canada are unlocked and unbranded. Mine is from Koodo/Telus and it's unlocked straight out of the box (it's the law in Canada) and doesn't have any carrier branding or carrier apps.

I think that as long as you are connected to the internet (mobile data or WiFi), you will get the update when a carrier releases it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] LonestarROB:
That's the concern I have though. I'm not on a carrier ( At&t ) that carries this phone.

Now that I've ordered the phone, I'm having a hard time finding screen protectors and cases for it. Ones I like that is. :(
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] rafaelpc80:
I have the same concern. I bought my P20 Pro by an importer, since here in Brazil it is not officially sold. I know the model is from Latin America because it is a CLT-L29 C605. But since I bought it, it just made an update and I'm still with the July update (8.1.0.152) since then.

So I'm in doubt if I'm actually getting the Pie right now on the 10th.

It's unlocked.

I'm loving the device, but it's sad to know that I have a smartphone released this year, last generation and I don't have updates support for it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] LonestarROB:
Well here's to the best of luck to both of us :) . Mines supposed to arrive tomorrow.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] LonestarROB:
Ignorance again as I've never ventured into this territory. Would you mind explaining how, if I don't get the update, to update it manually?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] RiTCHiE007:
Its not that hard so just read this article https://www.androidpit.com/firmware-updates-huawei-honor and i think there is a guide posted in the p20 pro section on this forum also
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] LonestarROB:
Thanks man!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Bwyan Benton:
I'm almost 100% sure that once Canadian carriers push the update you'll get it to. Has nothing to do with the carrier your on, updates are IMEI and model related. So if it's say a Telus/Koodo phone, you'll get the update when they push it.

That's been my experience anyways.

Ps. I'm using the same phone on Koodo now.

You should be on firmware .120 correct?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] LonestarROB:
I'm not sure. Phone should be delivered today. :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Bwyan Benton:
Check it when you get it.

But you'll be fine for updates.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] ZeusftW97:
So receiving the updates to the phone varies by the carrier? The carrier is the one that has to push the updates, like T-Mobile...?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Bwyan Benton:
Carriers push the updates yes. But say I buy a phone outright from Rogers and I use it on Telus...Rogers will push the updates to the phone, not the carrier I use it on. And I think it happens because the IMEI would originally be in the Rogers database.

This has happened to me several times now.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] ZeusftW97:
My phone isnt branded, so I dont know what carrier it is... because I bought it off a tech-store.

And for network, I am from Macedonia and I use VIP-MK sim card, which, as you said VIP wouldnt push the updates because the phone isnt from there, I don't know from where they're getting the phones to their warehouses, haha.

I just got a new update tho, b159, hopefully I will get the newest update after I install this one. ^^
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Bwyan Benton:
Possible that if it's unbranded and belongs to no carrier that you'd receive the updates from Huawei servers?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] ZeusftW97:
I dont think so.

Because there are a lot of updates for my phone to firmware finder, which I think they're from Huawei's servers, right?

And since I boight my phone like a month ago, this is my first update. I was kinda stuck at 152 with July's security patches, and a while ago I received 159 with October's security patches. All I want to say by this is that if I'd receive the updates from Huawei, I'd have now the newest security patches, which is 161 version I think.

Who knows...that's just my opinion.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Bwyan Benton:
Yeah, you could be right. Your phone could've also belonged to a carrier to. My phone (came from Koodo) but has absolutely no branding or preinstalled crap whatsoever. That's something to keep in mind as well.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] ZeusftW97:
Same. The store here is called Neptune, which is tech-store for everything. Bought it off there, and the phone was free of bloatware.

Who knows what carrier it belongs to. :confused:
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Bwyan Benton:
Yeah, if there's no branding I don't know how you'd find out what carrier it belonged too. Sorry man. Maybe somewhere in secret service codes it'll say?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] ZeusftW97:

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] :
The information is out there on a few threads here you could have searched.

C432 (european) is the unbranded model that gets the most updates. Once/twice a month since release.

C782 (UK) is the worst, updated quaterly, if that, because of carriers who want to put their BS apps on there and dont feel it neccessary to release huaweis updates frequently.

As for the other models I am not sure but if you are branded you will probably be stuck for months at a time for an update.

P20 Pro has been confirmed will get android 9. The c432 will have in within the next couple of weeks its rolling out now apparently.

If you are not on c432 i suggest you use funkyhuawei which costs money and rebrand your region to c432 or use dladz guide which is free but complicated for the average user.

I am on c432 .161 with 5th november security patch.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] LonestarROB:
Ok, if I go to System Update and check for updates, I get nothing. BUT while on that same screen in the top right, hit the 3 dots, click on the Download Latest Full Package and it showed the .120 / Sept security update. Updating now. 3.71GB. :crosses fingers:
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] spewak:
Thanks for that nice tip...worked for me as well. Updating to C432 finally.

You cant update to c432. You are either c432 or you are not. I explained this 2 posts above.

Hello there.

Are the last version for Canadian user, really 8.1.0.120(C792) ?

I still can get a refund for this phone. If it's really stuck at this

version, I don't think I will keep it. Rebrand is safe ? And what do you

use as a model for this one ?

And what is the last update ?

Played a bit with firmware finder, nothing really supported above .120

Probably need to unlock the phone.

And: CLT	P20 pro, Charlotte, Android 8.1, EMUI 8.1 ,AL00 AL01 TL00 TL01 L09(C900) L29(C900)

The only sources they provide.

Need to add something at this. The binary to rebrand "oeminfo" (I looked at it, started to disasemble and see what really happen)

It's closed source, right ? He don't provides anything less than a binary ?

How the hell are you on .161?! I also have the C432 variant, but I'm still on .152 with the July 1 security patch! I'm seriously tempted to just sell this phone and never get another Huawei device. Their update rollout schedule is by far the worse I've ever seen.

Edit: Oddly enough, I was able to update to .161 using HiSuite. OTA updates just aren't working anymore.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] :
Lol tell me about it. I got the unlimited pass from funkyhuawei a while ago and then update it off there so i can get em fairly quickly. I had to rebrand from c782 to 432 when i got the phone.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] andypotts1981:
Got my Pixel 3 XL yesterday and absolutely love it...

Just in case anyone else experiences issues I thought I would post this - did an online chat with Google and they think it might be a bug in the OS.

Connecting to my PC or Car, the device was showing the USB options when you swipe down for notifications permanently on Charging Only. Even changing this from that drop down had no effect. I could see the device on my PC but unable to view files/folders and unable to copy anything to the device. Similar symptoms in my car, the device would charge fine but no matter what I did it wouldn't connect to my Infotainment System.

To fix this I had to enable Developer Options, scroll down to Networking and there is a "Default USB configuration" setting. This was set to "No data transfer", I changed it to "File transfer" and rebooted and now everything works fine.

Hopefully this might help others :good:

Does your phone fast charge while using Android Auto?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] andypotts1981:
I don't think so, how can I check that.

I've only had the device a couple of days now but have noticed that when I'm using it in the car running Google Maps and streaming music via AA it still seems to charge.

Doing the same on my original Pixel XL I would loose 1-2% over about 30-40 mins, not sure if that's just because the battery was starting to deteriorate.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] djsaad1:
Thanks, but for some reason that didn't work for me. Tried this with and without USB debugging and car is just not seeing the phone for AA, but charges it fine. Also tried 4 different cables just in case, if I plug in an S8+ to any one of those cables it works perfectly with the car.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Guitarfreak26:
Hi all,

Joining Team Pixel tomorrow after my debacle with the Huawei Mate 20 Pro and the green screen fiasco.

Just wondering if its still worth rooting the Pixel? If i do it i wanna do it straight away to save wiping my data again when unlocking the BL. My main reasons would be for Adaway, Removing the Nav Bar, Swift theme installer and Viper.

Most of these can be done via ADB now so is it still worth rooting?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Sevael:
Rooting this phone is pretty easy and it doesn't impact the updating process much if you know what you're doing, so I vote that it is definitely worth rooting.

I don't use a lot of root apps, but the two main ones are worth it to me. I use AdAway for ads (VPN ad blockers are slower and have several cons) and an app called Sa2ration to compensate for the screen's weak color.

I have everything working the way I want without any compromises. Very happy with my setup.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] gettinwicked:
It's soooo easy to root, I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't. My main reason is viper 4 android, but adaway, pixel launcher mods (changes icons and has a system UI tuner), and sd maid pro having deeper access for cleanup as well.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] airmaxx23:
I've always had an Android phone that has been able to be rooted. Adaway, V4A, Substratum, Sa2ration, Titanium Backup and removing the stock navigation buttons are the biggest things for me currently with the Pixel 3 XL.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
I always recommend unlocking the bootloader right out of the box, even if you never plan to root. The sole reason for this is if at any point something goes awry and you end up in a bootloop or somehow end up soft bricked, with an unlocked bootloader you can be back up and running like new with a very quick flash-all script from the latest factory image on Google's support site. However, with a locked bootloader, if you find yourself in one of those bad situations, you're at the mercy of Google support to either get you a new device or go days without a phone while they try and fix it.

So, in my opinion, unlocking the bootloader is a no brainer on these phones, right from the get-go.

With that said, rooting is much more user preference. I found no reason to root my OnePlus 6. However, with the 3 XL my sole reason for rooting is to edit the build.prop to properly hide the nav bar at the system level, allowing me to use gesture controls without issue. You can use ADB commands to achieve this as well. But my experience in trying to hide the nav bar with ADB commands on this phone has caused some wonky things to happen, such as status bar notifications not going away and volume controls getting cut off when watching something in landscape mode. Rooting the phone and editing the build.prop was the only solution that worked for me to hide the nav bar without running into unforeseen issues.

If you are one to do other things like use Magisk modules and such, then rooting will be a no brainer for you. Also, as someone else mentioned, rooting this phone is the most straight forward/simple experience I've had rooting a phone in years.
