Motherboards are for desktop computers where some of the components still needed to be added on/in.

Main/logic boards are for electronics with everything already soldered on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Chouiyekh:
thanks for the info,

so i need a logic board, because i have a pixel 2 xl with a problem of locked bootloader and no system on the phone, i didn't find a way to resolve the problem so the only solution is replacing logic board
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] madmrt:
Is this a bug or is it just the way Huawei does it if so it's really sucks so when I turn on mobile hotspot on my honor 8x jsn-l23 it disables use of my mobile data I just wanna let my friend use my hotspot cause he only had a WiFi phone but can't cause then I can't use my data it's pretty messed up cause I've used a lot of devices and this is the first one I've had that does this is there a fix for it or no any help would be greatly appreciated
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] arnabJ:
This is not normal.

Reset network settings and try again.

The core job of Hotspot it to share your mobile data with other devices through Wi-Fi.
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] madmrt:
I just tried that and it still doesn't work idk what to do like I can still use the hotspot but it just sucks I can't use my phone as well
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] arnabJ:
In Settings go to "Wireless & networks>Mobile network>Advanced" and activate Mobile data always on if it's not active.
[Honor 8X Questions & Answers] miststudent2011:
Is data transfer is taking place or not while hotspot is enabled?

Maybe it's due to low data transfer rate you were not able to use it while hotspot is enabled.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Elixir_:
Hey guys, I was a Pixel XL user during the past one and a half year until my phone got bricked by itself (without an apparent reason) and I'm currently looking to get a new phone. So as mentioned in the title, I'm wondering if it is worth it to get a Pixel 2 XL right now and I would really like to get the opinion of users that have been using the phone for a while.

I have to admit that I was not really fully satisfied with my Pixel XL especially in terms of durability. The battery life became really bad after the first year and I was getting overheating issues especially during summer, not to mention the built quality which was far inferior to other phones that I owned during the same period such as the iPhone 7 plus and the Galaxy S7 edge. The only good side compared to those two phones was the camera and the stock android experience and updates.

I would like to know from you guys if the Pixel 2 XL is still a good phone in 2019, how did it age ? what about battery life ? the screen ? overheat ?

I'm actually really confused between getting a Pixel 2 XL (I can't stand the notch on the 3) or waiting for the Galaxy S10.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Le_Combattant:
I have the Pixel 2XL for now 2 months. It's a panda version, the best version with the orange power button it's look so cool.

I had a Nexus 6P during 2 years before the battery life goes down (the nexus 6p's battery symptoms) 90% to 0% in 1sc and a reload time of 30sc from 0 to 100%, and it's not a joke.

I had the choice between a Pixel 3XL or the Pixel 2XL. The 3 is and still expensive but the noth is not a issue for me. But after some weeks some issue appears on the 3XL and at the same time I could have -50% on a Panda version of the Pixel 2XL with a fabric case. My choice was done.

-Great battery life (before the january patch,thx google:crying:) I was between 7-8h of SOT, now with the january's patch is more like 5-6h.

- Still smooth

-Great camera but it has more noise than the Nexus 6p camera.

-Excellent screen, no burn issue and no blue effect. If you don't pass your time at full brightness, it should be good.

-No overheat (no game installed) :D

It's an excellent phone in 2019. Even 3 years old, my old and venerable 6P still smooth like the first day.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Rajaasim1980:
Its worth it only if you get it cheaper .. I came to Pixel 2 Xl after using many phones .. It has only three pro for me 1) stock speedy software and 2) camera which is excellent( best would be overstatement ) 3) battery is good( 6-7 hour screen on time )

If talk about negatives then

1) Speaker is ok but call quality from ear piece and mic is average ..I struggle to hear other side in noisy environment especially when using WhatsApp

2) limited storage 64GB and others devices with same price often have 128GB and some even support SD card

3) Design is boring

4) Display is bright only when you drag slider to 70/80 percent and even some midrange phone have more bright display than pixel 2 xl

5) get warm when using phone after hotspot is active

Its good device but far from perfect
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] gjkrisa:
If your avoiding the notch of the pixel 3xl then if go with the pixel 2 xl till they get ride of the notch.

What I'm waiting for but checkout

Check this out see what you think though see what everything is worth to you.

Htc use to be the phone for me but the Nexus and pixel since they gone dual speaker is the best I've come across. Now wish they would add a ir blaster for those moments I can't find the TV/audio remote
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Le_Combattant:
Boring design ? What color did you have?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Elixir_:
Thank you for your advices guys ! I'm sure the Galaxy S10 will be a much better phone in terms of hardware and design but I really got used to the google software especially the camera and google photos with the unlimited storage option. Maybe I should wait until the S10 announcement...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Rajaasim1980:
I have balck and white panda version

I meant pixel 2 xl design is simple as compare to fancy design of samsung, Huawei, Oneplus etc

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

Reason i come back to pixel is because of software and updates..this fludity of software is missing in samsung and even there new software one UI is laggy and i have used all samsumg devices from S7 to S9

If we put pixel software in samsung hardware then that would be excellent device :D

Sadly pixel always have many basic issues about call quality/display/mic/speaker crackling etc even pixel 3 and 3 xl has some issues..dont know why google dont pay attention to basic functionality when charge premium prices
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MrMeeseeks:
I came back to the 2 XL from the 3 XL. This is a really good device.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] seabro01:
Yeah, the Pixel 2xl is worth it if you want to save some money. Perfect for those that don't mind not having all the extra features + latest specs and just want a good all-around phone with timely updates, smooth software and great camera. Really good phone if you can get one without any screen issues.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
I've had my Pixel 2 XL since it came out. I've been pretty happy with it.

I like the design, build quality and materials. I think it's much better than the Pixel 3 XL because of the metal back instead of glass and no stupid notch.

Many people have complained about the screen. The screen isn't perfect. It does have a slight blue tint at extreme angles and there is some black crush and black smear at the lowest brightness. However, since I don't use my phone at extreme angles or at the lowest brightness I don't noticed those "issues". When it comes to color I actually prefer the Pixel 2 XL to the Pixel 3 XL. The Pixel 2 XL with "Boosted" color mode looks very life-like but with the Pixel 3 XL it didn't matter what color mode I tried it was still oversaturated.

Camera is fantastic.

Speakers are ok but not great but I don't use the speakers much so I don't care much.

The battery life of my Pixel 2 XL was stellar for the first 3 months but then I had 3 consecutive months of drops in battery life because of updates. Add to that the phone is now 15 months old and now the battery life is just ok. When it was brand new I got as good as 9 hours of screen on time doing basic things like browsing, Facebook, texting, email, etc on wifi most of the time with ~20 brightness with no gaming, Bluetooth, camera, etc and I could go like 40 hours off the charger with that usage. Now, the same kind of usage gets me maybe 6 hours screen on time over a period of maybe 18 hours. Not terrible but not great. On days where I'll be using it heavily(about 20% of my days) with mostly mobile data, taking pictures, streaming over Bluetooth, higher screen brightness (for use in bright sun), YouTube/Netflix, GPS, etc I have to take a battery pack with me which sucks and wasn't necessary for the first 3-5 months.

I did have an issue with the 3.5mm adapter and stock charger not working but it was a software issue that seems to be resolved now.

My only complaint now is the Bluetooth metadata bug that's been a problem since updating to Pie. The February update should be out tomorrow so I'm hoping maybe it will include a fix for that bug.

Overall pretty happy. Still not worth the insane price but no phone is.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jaytv:
Same here just purchased a brand new 2 XL after having a 3 XL. Actually like the 2 much better. Ended up with Fi promotion and trade-in getting it for $300. Hard to beat, especially when you get a 2 year warranty and two more Android versions directly from Google. Basically means I will probably get a 3 or 4 XL in eighteen months or so for free.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] biggiestuff:
I had a extended sting with the OnePlus and initially that phone had it all. Performance, battery life, awesome gestures. Slowly little things like

1) annoying reoptimization of apps

2) missing very important alerts (home alarm notifications) because of the optimization

3) Lack of response by OnePlus regarding global issues related to

4) TuneIn radio app consistently does not start upon launch due to some connection issue (probably caused by aggressive doze). Persisted even after a factory reset and appears to be a global issue.

5) Lack of response from OnePlus regarding this issue as well.

I went back to my pixel xl 2 and the inefficiency of screen bothered me a bit coming from the OnePlus but since I installed OnePlus gestures (working a lot better than my 1st go round with the app) and I've gotten over that issue

Also i'm enjoying having

1) Always on Display back

2) Phone screen calling to give telemarkerters a taste of their own medicine

3) Better Camera especially with the night sight

4) Faster security updates

5) Faster access to the phone via physical finger print scanner

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Le_Combattant:
It's a non homogeneous black color.

I bough my phone I november 2018 and it was built in 2017 (It comes from Ireland, Dublin) and no issue with the screen.

Yeah it's slightly blue but nothing special, and no burn in screen.

Manage your phone and everything will be good.

I bought my 2xl 4 months ago and i am planning to use it until it gets totally out of date,since 3xl has nearly the same optics and sd 835 and 845 have identical 10nm process,it is not much of an upgrade,i used nexus 5,nexus 6 and 6p,since my 6p was bloded,i got back to 6 and because it is was now having battery issues i had to get something new,so i got 2xl which was perfect in all,i still think this phone is the most unique,no flashy stuff,but whatever it does it does in style kind of device,you will never go wrong with i gaurantee yntil you have a warranty issue,i prefer,suggest you wait for a few months and get yourself s10 though until you are in dior need of a phone,that's how i actually feel,then ofcourse you can root and get it to work like a pixel or something.

How long from order til receipt, at current? I ordered 2 phones (from Google Store but through Fi for the plan credit) on Jan 15th. I've received notices of ship dates 5 times, and every time it then goes to back to "...waiting on your order..."

Of course, I've contacted support each time. They just tell me one or more of my items isn't ready to ship, they haven't charged me/won't charge me til the items ship, etc. But, that doesn't help me know when I can actually expect to receive my phones!

I'm tempted to say screw it, and order 2 pixel 3 xls instead, and lose the service credit but... that's another $600.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] amphi66:
Same ROM (rooted B35 Stock) & same TWRP (3.2.1) on two phones. Phone #1 is user setup with apps, Phone #2 is a clean install. There is a TWRP backup from Phone #1 on the ext SDcard. Thinking to make Phone #2 a "clone" of #1, I put the ext SDcard into Phone #2 thinking to restore the BU.

From the ROM of #2 the file manager can see all of the files on the extSD, but in recovery TWRP does not see any of the files. Why would this be? And is there a solution? Thanks.

EDIT: issue Resolved (if not fully understood) . . . I made a TWRP backup of the Phone #2 clean install to internal storage. From inside the ROM I then copied the Phone #1 TWRP backup to the same folder. Then restored the backup. A few internal sdcard folders needed manual copying, but all now works as expected.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesmackdown:
Hi all,

I recently rooted my phone and then started having some battery and function issues (might be just coincidence). I decided to reflash the phone and did the 7.0 OTA which didn't work. I would get an erasing screen and then reboot, then reboot, then erase screen. So, I flashed the 6.0 ROM from Motorola (MPH24.49-18), which worked fine. I then tried a manual update to 7.0 and got the same loop. I went back to 6.0.

Question now is will I get the OTA update to 7.0? If not, how is the best way to get there.

Thanks!

[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] msobarzoe13:
Hi everyone. I have a moto g6 and I updated a few weeks ago, but the thing is that when I was flashing the stock (the 8.0 version becuase it doesn´t exist a 9.0 yet) rom via fastboot I get an error about "downgrade security", after that I try to unlock the bootloader and I found that I cant get into the os and the recovery, it apears an error "failed load kernel" and gets into the fastboot mode. I try to unlock the bootloader via adb but i can´t because i can´t get in to the recovery, only fastboot mode. I try many ways to fix this but I don´t found anything yet.

HEELPPPP :(
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] HueyT:
Hold power and volume down til reboot into "bootloader" mode, plug usb-c cable to PC, then reflash later stock rom
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Omar04:
Just power up directly to bootloader holding power + vol down, then reflash the latest official firmware for your device. As long as it is the official firmware for your device you don't need to unlock bootloader.

BUT if you brick it with an updated bootloader thats more recent that the OG firmware available for your device, sadly you have a cute paperweight until an official firmware with a more up to date bootloader is available. It happend once to me with a G4 Play have the device useless for a good 2 months until a firmware with a new bootloader was available. It sucks.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] aravindachu:
You have to go to the service center.

Hey msobarzoe13, I am using moto g6 and from India. When android p soak test was leaked as everyone out there, I tried it. It was good except for some network issues. So I decided to revert back to the stock firmware. I downloaded the OS and flashed it and faced the same issue. I tried several times but no luck. I was not even able to unlock the bootloader because I didn't turn on OEM unlock under settings. So I took it to the service center. The best part is by installing Beta your warranty is void. So I did it through the service center. They told Moto G6 series is very secured so flashing it with a leaked software is prevented. I don't know why. So don't take a further risk, take it to the service center.

[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] bezay:
Same problem with me also. It may be detected as qualcomm hs-usb qloader 9008 while you connect in pc. If that is the problem than we need blank flash file which is not available right now. Either we have to send our device to service center for motherboard replacement or we need to wait for blank flash file which is not possible to come because these files are sensitive to motorola. another solution is if some one provide me mmcblk0.img of moto g6 than i might be able to boot it from sd card and may revive it again.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] EzEddie:
Received PIE OTA today. Everything seemed great until I got in the car to drove home from work. Phone connects to Bluetooth fine and stayed connected until I tried making a call. When I dialed a contact it started ringing properly over the car speakers then dropped and the status stopped showing on the car display. Phone still said it was connected to BT and phone audio routing through the Handsfreelink. I couldn't hear anything. Switching the call audio to Phone I was able to hear the person through the phone handset.

I've tried repairing to the car and restarting phone. I did not try calling through Android Auto I interface on the car, but will try that tomorrow.

Looking for similar issues I saw some hit for the Pixel devices, but it was on older beta builds of PIE.

Anyone else have this issue?

Are you using a Galaxy watch? I used to have the same problem until I reset my watch then everything worked fine.

I would recommend you find out what's disconnecting the bluetooth through bluetooth > Advanced > Bluetooth control history and see if there are any apps turning off the bluetooth. Galaxy Wearable was constantly disconnecting my bluetooth when it was disconnected to my car's bluetooh and that's why I reset it.

I hope that helps.

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

I recommend you delete your phone 's profile from your car and reestablish it all over again after your reset your phone's bluetooth as well through settings > general management > reset > reset network settings. Bear in mind that this will erase all your bluetooth connections as well as wifi data.

Good luck.

Car BT disconnects after 5 min

I have the same issue, Phone will connect fine initially but after like 5 minutes of playing music or calling Car will lose connection all together to BT in Phone (phone says it still connected for a couple of secs then drops as well) If I leave alone BT will connect again after a minute or so then disconnect again in a couple of minutes

I'm using Android Auto on my phone (My car does not have AAuto so use the phone as a display) so everytime BT connects disconnects AA launches

Tried resetting BT cache and data and repairing but everytime same thing.
