it should work with magisk hide.

magisk does a very very good job on hiding

so maybe you wanna test that on your old phone :)

but i know your feeling, im stuck on my note3

i was ready to buy the note 7 but couldnt get my hands on.

then samsung pay became relevant and i cant decide to buy a phone without viper or willing to kill knox and half the samsungs apps for it.

then why buy a samsung in the first place. also updating and otas break and it becomes an always tinkering thingy.

then again ciper is one of my most important apps, i really need it to compensate on my headphones, and i really need the volume boost

im not usually a MS fan, but i think it's quite nice what they've given me to test ..
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] beta199:
I sent back an Mate 20 Pro because (with LG screen) I had intermittent data disconnection issues. I had no gluegate screen issues, the screen was fine. The replacement device has a BOE screen. In comparison to the LG screen, after a few days here are my observations:

- The screen has a greenish tint (not gluegate) when viewed from the side. View the screen at about 45 degree angle (left, right, top, bottom etc.) and the color changes.

- Brightness: the BOE screen I have seems less bright than the LG one.

- The screen also seems less sharp than the previous LG, I would describe it as a bit "grainy" or "noisy", not the pin sharp display you would expect at this resolution

- Low brightness: when the brightness slider is low (10% brightness or less), the grey text breaks up on a black background when scrolling. Here is how to reproduce the issue.

1. Go to Settings and select the BLACK background mode. All text is white or grey and the background is black.

2. Set the brightness slider to minimum

3. Select a submenu in settings (e.g. Battery) then go to a dark room (with brightness at minimum)

4. Scroll slowly up and down the screen in the Battery (or some other) settings menu

5. On my screen the light (white and grey) text breaks up into green/magenta components. When the scrolling stops the text is white again. It's like the screen can not keep up with the scrolling, can not refresh the pixels fast enough so the white text breaks up into various colours.

Anyone has experienced this issue on either an LG or BOE screen? Any feedback is welcome.

I am not pixel peeking. I noticed this behaviour while adjusting some of my settings on the new phone. I did not see this at the LG screen. Because my old phone has been taken back by the courier I can't do any parallel comparisons.

This screen is a BOE screen, serial number 18B08. on the latest 122 software version. Based on my subjective observation the LG screen was brighter and did not notice these low light issues (however I was not looking for it in all fairness). Update: now on 146 software update.

Any feedback is appreciated.

===============================

Update (9 Dec 2018)

I went to a local store and took some comparison pictures / videos between store units and my BOE screen Mate 20 Pro. See them below. All videos taken at MAXIMUM screen brightness on white background to compare the quality (max brightness and colour shift) of both screens.

Here are links to 2 Youtube sample videos:

https://youtu.be/t_BSsJi0f1o - My unit vs a O2 store demo unit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUPe-z5ArfI - My unit vs a Three store demo unit (verified with LG screen)

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] jhs39:
The green 99% of people report on LG displays is in completely unnatural conditions that would never occur in real life use. They use a grey background, turn the brightness down to 1 and see a tinted glow coming out of the curved part of the OLED display that isn't even part of the actual display area.

The fact that the BOE display is not as bright and smooth as the LG display has been reported by many owners and is also likely the reason there is less light bleed coming out of the curved edges when people use the same unnatural conditions--the BOE screen is natively less bright and powerful at every light level including 1. If you research exactly how AMOLED displays generate color you will understand what I am referring to.

Even though the LG display actually seems to be far superior to the BOE display in normal everyday use with better colors, contrast and pixel response Huawei will probably be using the inferior BOE displays going forward because of the hysteria of some users that believed the LG display was defective.

As far as I know the curved OLED display was used on the iPhone X but not on any Android phone before the Mate 20 Pro so doing the same unnatural display test with the curved Amoled on the Mate 20 Pro and the non-curved Amoled of any other Android phone is obviously not going to yield the same results. The light bleed only manifests where the curve in the Amoled is.

Huawei said this was normal but some people loudly insisted that it wasn't so now going forward everybody is going to get the markedly inferior BOE display.

AMOLED displays do degrade over time so it would be interesting to compare how the LG and BOE displays each hold up but since people are only interested in the newest phones that comparison probably won't happen.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] turt:
Wow dude, you don't know what you are talking about...

The green is totally defective and can be seen in many normal conditions!

The fact that it's emphasized by grey screen doesn't mean it cannot be seen.

I now have a BOE screen and cannot be happier, colors look excellent compared with my Galaxy S9+

LG green screen was crap. And I'm not biased towards LG, I have a very nice OLED 4K tv at home.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] beta199:
Hello,

Thank you for the elaborate answer.

I don't have a problem with the unevenness of light or bleeding but lower brightness and grainier screen are not OK in my opinion. When I first opened up the first unit with the LG screen, it struck me how better it was than my SONY Xperia XZ Premium's screen, both in terms of perceived sharpness and luminosity. As a first impression.

The BOE screen however, shows much grayer and overall of inferior quality in comparison to the Sony. Might have an inferior screen on this Mate 20 Pro, I don't know, that's why I was asking for feedback.

For this price and being a flagship device having only an "acceptable" quality screen is not acceptable. Having so many posts online and cases of green screens it's a good possibility that there is something ongoing with these screens.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] whoops1234:
Funny, I was sitting in a dark room with the screen set to grey and on the lowest setting and I was thinking, what the **** am I doing??? When would actually be doing this?? Probably never. I think some people are looking so hard for something that they are starting to see things.

I'm not doubting the there probably are some faulty screens out there, I had one right at the start too. But I've had an LG screen for a while now and it kinda looks green round the edges in that unnatural way of grey screen and low light. But I find it 10 time better than the grey washed out screen of the BOE. I had to turn the BOE screen brightness right up if I wanted to read in bed and the auto brightness was unresponsive.

Normal everyday use of the LG screen is 10 time better and the colours are just more vivid. I think I'm going to stick with LG

I found myself on Spotify with a really distracting green uneven smear all over my screen.... That wasn't a unnatural situation.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] merewood bebox:
biggest pile of rubbish ive ever read in the nicest way possible. to dismiss other peoples experiences just because you havent seen it is rubbish. my friend used my phone in the car at night ( i was using it for sat nav, is that normal enough?) they went on the spotify app to change the song then asked me why is the bottom half of my screen green. if thats not an unusual use case then no one can use their phones at night?

---------- Post added at 02:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 AM ----------

inn regards to this. the BOE screen seems to be less vivid if you had the LG phone before. however i had my S8 on standard or SRGB mode. (maybe it was called basic i cant remember) and to me the colours look fine. i cant say it looks less 'smooth' not sure what that means either and i think you hit the nail on the head. when you start to pixel peep youll see many flaws. even if they arent really there. if you look at the LG display as hard as you have looked at teh BOE, maybe you would have found something else. I know the whole display thing is annoying for the price but i took into account selling my s8 and selling the WAtch GT (which i am using at starting to like) into the price
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] beta199:
I think low brightness usage of a screen is a valid scenario which should work properly without green issues. I am occasionally reading ebooks in the dark, at minimum or close to minimum brightness. I had a number of smart phones and they all worked fine with a pretty uniform screen. I am not looking for perfection, but low light performance is a valid usage scenario where smartphone screen have to deliver - especially top tier, expensive flagship models.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] enrique71:
I have the LG screen and apart from the greenish tint on the curved sides when viewed in a dark room with grey background (low brightness), I really have no issues during the day when there is normal lighting. I've read several forums with other phone manufactures where this complaint seems to be common, clearly Huawei could have done better QC. For me at least this nuisance isn't enough to return the phone.

Hi The LG is very bad, did you see the anandtech review of the Mate 20 Pro

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] beta199:
That makes sense. For me the overall brightness and sharpness is important as I am doing a lot of work outside surveying buildings. This is what I am apparently seeing in my BOE screen, the screen seems to be greyer and less bright than the LG one. But again, it might be an issue with my screen only - that's why I am looking for others' feedback. :)

Thanks for sharing this review - it's so comprehensive and technical, without being too technical (if that makes sense).
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Phil750123:
On my 3rd phone with this being first BOE screen.

1st LG screen was utter crap, by the 2nd week at 50% brightness you could see the green around the edges on youtube videos etc... ( I would count that as most peoples use of a phone?)

2nd was much better but was still noticeable while using dark theme and dark backgrounds, which I do a lot. Main issue was I didn't want to wait for it to get worse like the first one.

3rd BOE - Much better screen. It is slightly less vivid but still plenty nice enough for me. Sharpness I have it set to FHD all the time and haven't noticed any issues at all. Only thing I did notice is there is a slight green tint viewed at certain angle, but pretty extreme angle which is unrealistic so doesn't bother me.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Kipp162:
I don't think this is an issue that's specific to LG or BOE screens because I had this on my 2nd LG device. I thought it was because I was using YouTube vanced but obviously not. These screens are garbage.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] whoops1234:
I think OLED screens all have the problem to a certain degree. Just some are worse than others.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Jonathan-H:
Sorry but you are dead wrong. This does not remain this way. The LG panel shows the green after a few days even on 50% brightness.

The BOE screen is exactly as bright, clear and sharp as the LG and I know this because I had them side by side.

Don't spread nonsense. LG screen TEN TIMES BETTER? Shame on you.

For your information, Huawei admitted to EE on the phone that all the LG panels were in an early batch, and faulty. Good luck getting help when your LG panel goes bad, and it will.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] whoops1234:
No need to take that tone. We're all adults here so please don't act like we're back at school. So shame on you!!

It was just my opinion. I have both of them next to each other and there is a difference, I even posted pictures on another thread showing the difference in colour. I'm also not the only person to notice. Plus I've had my LG screen for 3 weeks now and it hasn't got any worse.

I mean jeez all these people getting het up, when it comes down to it, its just a phone.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] stuclark:
I have a BOE screen as a replacement for my (slightly) faulty LG screen.

I've had other LG & Samsung OLED (both P-OLED and AM-OLED) screens on phones as well as many LCD screens.

I can honestly say that the BOE screen I now have is at least as bright as *ANY* other OLED screen I've had and pretty much as bright as the SuperBright LCD on my LG G7 Thinq.

The resolution of the BOE screen is also pretty bloody good; certainly no worse than it was on my LG screen'd original Mate 20 Pro.

I don't see any light bleed; only the "usual" colour shift evident on pretty much any OLED screen when viewed at an angle; and for me this phone hardware-wise is now pretty much perfect.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] From0toHero:
I'm sorry but you made so many mistakes in your assertion. First the LG Display is by no means superior. The BOE display uses the new Synaptics driver that is light years ahead of the Unkown LG driver. I have meanwhile in my family the possibility to test the LG Display directly with my BOE display. The only thing I mentioned was that the colors were a little more vibrant on the LG. After adjusting some parameters my BOE display looked almost identical to the LG. But without the green tint. And your claim the green tint is not that visible under normal circumstances is totally rubbish. On my first mate 20 pro the green was visible under all circumstances. Not from the start, the issue progressed. I must admit Huawei handled my issue very good. I got from the start a very good BOE panel. And believe me if the green tint was anything normal, Huawei would never have exchanged the devices that easy.

I've compared mine (vodafone sourced, LG screen) to a friends EE sourced M20P with a BOE screen - they're identical. No difference. Had mine for 3 weeks, and no sign of the panel going bad at all.

Stating that the LG panel will go bad when it appears to have just been a bad early batch is also spreading nonsense.

My BOE has a horrible consistency issue but it isn't always there which is super weird. When you use youtube in dark mode for example, and then swap from portrait to landscape and back again, you get weird screen issues on the grey background like this.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] sevanig:
I agree with the OP 100%

I've owned 3 Mate 20 Pro's. 2 with an LG, and 1 with a BOE panel.

The BOE had a blue/green shift from a 30deg angle, where as the LG didn't.

I have also compared with 3 other BOE screen display models. 2 out of the 3 had the colour shift, and 1 was very similar to the LG.

Getting a good OLED panel is a bit of a Lucky Dip with this phone.

The BOE colour shift bothered me so much after having the LG, I returned it, luckily I have a LG panel without #gluegate this time, great colours/uniformity and no colourshift.

I've said in another post that my LG screen is perfect but I do also notice some greenish waze on grayish backgrounds in dark conditions. I have to really look for it so it's not a problem now but surely Huawei should do better...
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Kipp162:
Is this to do with the aggressive adaptive brightness like in the anandtech review or is this just generic screen dimming?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Darkat70:
Power genie is responsible for the screen dimming and the constant aggressive application killing. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the adaptive brightness, but it's possible as the app is part of the AI meant to conserve battery power.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] beta199:
I went to several phone shops during the past week and looked at the demo units on display. Some had LG screens, some BOE screens, all from various batches.

After all, based on my observations the LG screen is definitely better quality than the BOE. It has bright, vibrant pure whites with very good luminosity.

In comparison, BOE is less vibrant, the whites are a bit greyer, with a hint of green/ yellow in it. Not the pure, intensive white the LG has.

I personally prefer the LG screen assuming there is no green problem with it.

Can confirm same issue
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] nazrin313:
Just got this phone 2 days ago and its got a BOE screen. So far its been awesome, super clear, no grain, no gluegate, inky blacks, no weird inconsistencies.

Side by side with the Note 9 and the BOE screen is better and more vibrant, will update if things go south
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Maxxwell_Rhyno:
Well there still seems to be an issue with the BOE screen. There's a little test you can try, to see of you've got the same issue as some of us.

Go into youtube, play a video, go into landscape mode on that video. Go back to portrait, and pull down your notification panel. What is going to happen is, you will notice these weird black spots are going to appear. Called brightness anomalys.

Check out this video to understand what, I mean: https://youtu.be/EiJt4zvXUXQ

Please reply back to this comment to let me know if this is a common problem. Thanks in advance.

I'm going to test it out in the internet browser aswel. To see if it's a glitch on the youtube app or if it's a screen related issue. Will post results.

Edit: Well did another test, and it seems to be a screen related issue. It's very visible when you, put on a blank screen and pull down the Notification Panel. The test you will have to conduct is to, hold a flashlight over your brightness sensor, when your notification panel is down.

Oké I will explain it to you in dutch.

Open een youtube video (maakt niet uit welke) dan moet je deze afspelen, terwijl je hem afspeelt ga dan in landscape mode (fullscreen dus) waarna je ff 5 seconden deze video laat afspelen. Ga dan weer terug naar portrait mode (dus doe de fullscreen uit) en terwijl je nog in de youtube app zit, veeg gewoon je meldings paneel omlaag. Waar al je meldingen komen, waar ook je knoppen voor wifi en mobiel hotspot, mobiel verbinding, zaklamp enz staan. Wanneer je dat doet, zal je merken dat er donkere vlekjes onderaan je scherm ontstaan.

Tenminste is bij mij en bij andere mensen het geval. Succes.

That should explain to you what you have to do, in order to do a test to see if this problem also occurs on your phone.
