I have a 128GB UK version I purchased at launch with an LG display and planned to upgrade to a 256GB international model with a BOE display. I ended up returning the 256GB version because to me the LG display seemed way superior.

At least some of the hysteria generated on XDA about the defective LG displays was nonsense.

It is normal for a folded OLED display to have screen bleed at the edges and it is also normal for a folded OLED display to show lighter around the edges when doing the screen uniformity test that purportedly showed that the displays were defective.

People were making comparisons between the standard OLED displays on Samsung phones and the folded OLED display on the M20P and since the results were different that was supposed to prove the LG displays were defective.

On top of that easily 70% of the initial reports of defective screens on the XDA Gluegate threads came from new XDA accounts that appear to have been opened specifically to report defective displays.

The BOE displays are much less bright than the LG displays at every illumination level including 1 which is why people don't see the scary light bleed eminating from the display edges.

That difference is very obvious if you compare both displays side by side.

The LG display also has much more vibrant colors and way better contrast.

Hi,

Thanks but I totally disagree regarding the screen quality.

After mine arrived I went into a Three shop who let me play around with a 6gb/128gb and side by side my BOE screen vs the LG screen was better. Also the brightness levels are either the same or if anything the BOE screen was slightly brighter.

The only bleed I can see on mine is 2 vertical lines right on the bend and this moves depending how I look at it, indicating that as you rightly say, it isn't screen bleed. The phones with screen bleed (Including the one in the store) was very very obvious and filled nearly the whole screen. Staff claim it is to do with the lights on the shop, but clearly that isn't the case.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mike2518:
Wow I just got mines today with the same exact date and perfect BOE screen!
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonathan-H:
You're in the minority. I had the LG and the screen was awful Truly awful. Green which is visible on all LG screens to some degree ruined the screen even at 50% brightness.

This is just your attempt at feeling better for having an LG screen.

My BOE is perfect and better quality in every way than my 6 previous LG replacements, which all had the "green bleed" not "off angle discolouration". Don't try to make out we are all confused, it's you who's confused and spreading nonsense.

Huawei confirmed to EE that the LG screens are defective which is why EE replaced mine 7 times until I got a BOE

BOE is just as bright. Just as much contrast. Just as sharp. Not faulty.

This account has been open a long time.

Next try? :D
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] steadly2004:
My BOE replacement is pretty good also. Brightness and clarity is great. No dead pixels and no uniformity issues even with screen tester apps.

The LG screen was defective that I had. And many others have had. Not all LG screen in phones are defective, just the implementation in the mate 20 pro's for many people.

I think the edge bleeding is not necessarily normal, but rather a function of an inferior polarizer. The same reason LG and BOE are slightly more off tint when viewed from an angle. That same angle is produced by sending the screen. I still believe Samsung makes the best screens.

I also noticed that the BOE screen has some GHOSTING. If you have a BLACK background and scroll up/down with white text or windows. The white will momentarily be grey/purple lagged until the pixels catch up. But isn't something that will show up with a grey background, I think this is because the on/off function of the pixels is slower than other transitions. NOT a defect, just an observation. Haven't tested on a Samsung or LG screen. Just noticed while evaluating the BOE.

*Edit* seems it's black/grey that shows it.

Just found with a quick search, one that shows the purple lag.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS6/comments/34t923/is_your_screen_defective_test_for_yourself_by/

Just scroll.

*Edit #2* just tested on my wife's Note 9 and there is just a hairline lag of purple that resolves quicker. Instead of half the grey square.

*Edit #3* just created another thread to discuss the ghosting separately.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] panman1964:
This is an inaccurate statement, not all LG screens are affected.

My M20P was preordered before the October launch from O2 UK (so presumably a relatively early model) and I have no issues with any visible green at all at any brightness setting.

As reported by Device Info HW: synaptics-LYA171020-LG-01-18-10-3
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] deekbee:
"green which is visible on all LG screens to some degree". Nope, not visible at all on mine, which has an LG screen. I've seen examples of the green issue, and mine is uniform black across the screen.

Have a friend who had a BOE screen on his from EE, and the two screens are unnervingly similar. Nobody would look at images on both and state that one is better than the other.

So care to try again?

How can this work? The data in that file is encrypted with a device-specific key. It will not unlock any other device but the one it came from. If that does what you say it does, I will eat my sock. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Rortiz2:
I pulled that file of my BQ when it had the unlocked BL. I pm'ed some people in a Spanish forum for test if it works, and it worked...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] diplomatic:
[MENTION=8978978]Rortiz2[/MENTION], are you sure it actually unlocked their BL, and it wasn't just placebo? What I mean is did it show "Orange State" or did it end up in a bootable "Red State" in which the seccfg step did not make any difference? Because I've tried to decrypt the seccfg data from my own Zenpad on another unit, same model, and it failed. That confirms that the embedded keys are different. If it was all the same key, then unlocking a BL would be as simple as flashing some data with SP Flash Tool.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Rortiz2:
I've misunderstood you. You're right, it seems that this partition contains device specific codes. It casues red state.

Sorry!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] diplomatic:
OK, that makes more sense. There won't be any sock-eating yet. :) But either way, if you can boot it with Red (or yellow) State, it means you don't have to unlock and can still keep your data....

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] oviseven666:
The process is very simple, I tried it without having Magisk installed.

1. I am not responsible for any damage that may be generated to your smartphone.

2. Download the latest version of the TWRP(only fastboot) file here

https://dl.twrp.me/tissot/

3. Download the latest version of TWRP Installer CosmicDan or a newer version. Then download the latest version of Magisk Installer.

4. Turn off your smartphone and leave it in fastboot mode, then connect it to the PC.

5. Restart your smartphone in TWRP mode using the file downloaded in step 2.

6. Install the TWRP Installer file. After the process is finished install the Magisk Installer file.

7. Reboot and enjoy.

Note: if the process is unsuccessful, change the partition where the files from step 6 will be installed.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] paolocorpo:
Thanks

After the installation of Twrp installer you are suggesting to install Magisk before to boot to system ... Is it right ?

Will have the procedure success using the legacy Twrp installer versus Cosmic Dan one ?

This because I had issue with CosmicDan version using OTG

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] oviseven666:
it is correct what you say about installing Magisk before restarting the system. on the other hand the twrp of CosmicDan works very well with that process

Not

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Johnn78:
I mean in step 6 of process, how to install the twrp (img file) ? Because if I go via flashing img file then it asks me about partition & there isn't the recovery partition as option to select it.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] oviseven666:
twrp installer is not an img file
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Johnn78:
In step 2 which you say to download it, it is img file

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] paolocorpo:
The hot boot to temporary twrp downloaded with step 2 and used in step 5 uses a TWRP.img

HERE you can download the .zip inside that there the necessary .img (https://github.com/CosmicDan-Androi...t_boot_only-3.2.1-with-Tissot-Manager-2.5.zip)

The above TWRP is different by the Installer one that is a .zip file

HERE you can download the .zip (https://github.com/CosmicDan-Androi...P-Installer-3.2.1-with-Tissot-Manager-2.5.zip)

I mentioned that I have flashed magisk uninstaller but when I flashed that again twrp has destroyed. But as you said flash magisk when twrp installer process complete. I did that twrp has installed but then device going to bootloop.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] oviseven666:
repeat the process that I mentioned earlier. then try to install twrp and magisk in the other partition.

Note: I hope you are performing the process correctly, and that you are not installing the TWRP file img
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amanpreetsingh:
Yes as I told you I have successfully installed twrp. First I have booted the twrp img using fastboot. Then flashed twrp installer then magisk so no issue with that. Now I will try installing twrp and magisk in other partition. Will let you know after that.

This method worked perfect for me.

for super newbies, download this file : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1nCUCFnSqi5vtir6n4sBrdnzpu-zFPr1K

after you unzip this ADB.zip, you will see cmd-here.exe.

I already put latest twrp just for hotboot, so execute cmd-here.exe, and type ' fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-tissot.img ' after your device is in fastboot mode. and device will slowly boot into twrp.

then you can install CosmicDan's TWRP as usual without error.

Which specific issue? If it fails to flash where does it fail and are there any errors it reports?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] cdakaharpo:
It won't recognize adb device now :/ but it will recognize fast boot but idk if you can sideload in recovery using fast boot

---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

This is the new error I'm getting now when I run flash-all "failed to load <file name> : not enough space

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

I just tried again with a different factory image flash-all and it says "command failed (error reading sparse file)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jd1639:
First, "adb devices" only works if you're booted into the system or recovery. If you're booted into the bootloader you need to use fastboot commands, "fastboot devices".

You need to be booted into the stock recovery to sideload an ota. But if you're booted into the bootloader can't you use the volume keys to get to recovery?

Finally, do you have the latest sdk platform tools? r28.0.2 is the latest and if you don't have an r28 version you'll get errors flashing.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] cdakaharpo:
I fixed it back to stock by simply using a different usb port and running flash-all. I know i should have tried that earlier but all i did was try two different chords. I was using type c to the type c port on my laptop. I switched it to the normal usb slot and it worked. Thanks for all the advise guys

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] mikla90:
Hi everyone. I've done some damages on my Mi A1. It all started out with trying to improve the in call volume, which resulted in a complete disable of the audio. After restoring everything with Fastboot, I tried to root it again and this time the touchscreen went bonkers and there's no way to make it go back to work as it should. I've tried anything: flashing Oreo, Nougat, Pie, custom recovery... All the tricks up my sleeve.

Because this is not working, what I'm asking is if there is a better, more "profound" way to restore everything back to factory settings. I don't care what I'll lose. Just take everything back to as it started from the factory, with whatever Android release is available. Is this possible? Or I'm out of luck?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
For months leading up to the release of the Pixel 3 series, I read all the comments online about how much people hated the over-sized notch and how much of a deal-breaker it would be. Many even said they'll choose the regular Pixel 3 instead of the XL. These sentiments continue online to this day... And yet, it appears the XL is outselling the regular Pixel 3 by significant margins. Even the volume of activity on the xda forums is night and day in favor of the XL variant.

So, can you all please share what made the unforgivable notch so forgivable?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] presence06:
I've had the phone about a week now... You do kind of get used to the notch.. It's not as annoying as some make it out to be, IMO. You can always find a wallpaper that hides it on the home screen at least haha.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] chaco81:
i was strongly against the notch since before it even came out, i even considered the regular P3....

after having the P3 XL for a week, i am now at peace with it and dont hate it as bad as i thought i would.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
But why did you select it over the Pixel 3 if you were so worried about the notch?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Eudeferrer:
When I found out you can hide the notch, it was an easy decision. I like the bigger screen, bigger battery and more software development.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mac208x:
I was always an Android guy but earlier this year I decided to get the iPhone x coming from a galaxy s8, well I wanted to see if iPhones wore any better since I haven't had one since the 5. Missed my return period and was stuck with it (TMobile financing). The iPhone does have a significant notch as well and got used to it really quickly. Then the pixel 3 and 3 xl got announced and yes everyone hated the notch, except it didn't bother me a single bit. I didn't have the money to cough up for it so I went with the one plus 6T and had that for a couple weeks untill Black Friday when 3xl was discounted send jumped on it real quick. For me it was the form factor, I hated how small the iPhone was, you couldn't enjoy videos or see much really the bigger screen makes a big difference. The notch is something I never even notice now, it's just there. It be great if Google utilized the space a little bit better, hopefully they will do that.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] y2grae:
I had the original Pixel XL.

loved the big screen

Updated to 3XL and within a day ... what notch?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] presence06:
I wanted the bigger screen. I wasn't really worried about the notch.. I had seen the iPhone X and the Essential Phone both having notches and didn't find them annoying really.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nyydynasty:
Honestly, I dont know why people hate the notch so much. I like it. It forces the notifications and the other icons to the top (on either side of the notch) freeing up screen real estate for apps. I never hated the notch and now that I have it, I dont even notice it.

I truly believe people overreacted with the notch. Who cares about it...seriously. it's fine. not even noticeable when you use the phone daily.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
People hate the notch because it's new, different, and they don't have one. Once these style phones have been out for a while, everybody will get used to it, and then the people who say they hate it now will be telling everyone how much they love it.

Also agree. I have larger hands and I came from the OG - Pixel XL and then switched to a company phone (Galaxy S9, which didnt have a small screen either), i just like the larger screens.
