I am also interested in hearing any experiences with an eBay replacement screen. My phone slid off my lap getting out of my car the other day and somehow the screen cracked underneath the Whitestone dome I have on it while not cracking the dome glass at all (super strange) and I had my case on as usual. I guess just bad luck but regardless I would like to replace the screen but I don't want to spend $200 on a Google screen when I can get a whole another pixel 2 XL for $300. If eBay screens are halfway decent I'd just get get that. Appreciate anyone's input.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] siggey:
I don't know about pixels screen, but usually the screens from China are low quality units. I bought some for previous phones, OnePlus 3t and Xiaomi, and the quality was always worst than the original. Imagine on a high quality screen like the one of p2xl
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kallell:
Just to bump this, i have not found a good replacement screen yet and have just been dealing with it. Has anyone found a solid one?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] PartyPlease:
I bought an ebay replacement screen for a friend and within 6 months he got a dead pixel. They are much lower quality than the already low quality OEM pixel 2 xl screen

TBH at this point you might as well just buy a used pixel 2 xl. You can get a fully functional phone with an OEM screen for less than the price of a screen and it'll still be waterproof. They're at the point in their lifecycle where they are not worth fixing unless you're trying to recover files or something.

If you are serious about fixing it even if it costs more, search for "Pixel 2 XL OEM screen" and try and find one taken from a phone rather than an aftermarket one. You will likely find a lot of fakes but they are out there.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imarsal:
Hi. I have Xperia z2. Upgraded it to marshmallow(D6503_23.5.A.1.291_Movistar Es) using Xperia flashtool and software downloaded by xperifirm. But after 3-4 days my device lost signals and it says no signal/no service. Previous software version was 4.4.2 Movistar_ES. I don't remember the baseband and kernel version. Tried many firmware which is listed below:

D6503_17.1.A.2.55_1281-1985_PCT

D6503_17.1.1.A.0.402_UK+Generic+1282-0226_R2A

D6503_17.1.A.2.55_Unbranded

D6503_23.5.A.1.291_1282-0226_R11D

D6503_23.5.A.1.291_Movistar Es

I tried code *#*#4636#*#* and it says to turn on the radio. And I'm unable to turn on the cellular radio.

And when I asked Movistar about the previous version they just sent me this information:

Build number: 17.1.2.A.0.314

Kernel version: 3.4.0-perf-g35f9635 BuildUser @ BuildHost # 1 Wed Jul 2 23:48:27 2014

Android version: 4.4.2 (Kit Kat)

Script: D6503_17.1.2.A.0.314_Movistar-ES_1281-4646_R10A

Unable to find this software. Could you please help me out, guys? Is there any way to get signals back?

Kind regards,

This thing is awesome, I'm still trying to get used to the features and everything. The pods did come with the phone and there is a screen protector pre applied and no there is no cutout on the screen protector for the fingerprint scanner.

my left thumb, which I'm left handed so usually holding my phone with left hand, I've gotten pretty good at unlocking with that hand, if I've got my phone out of hand or in my right hand I fail like **** to unlock it even with index and other thumb set to unlock. And in honesty, even the left hand is pretty easy to fail. It's pretty bad ass phone though, mine isn't a + but just a regular.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] oakleyguy89:
I'm right handed and use my left hand for my phone as there's keys and box cutters in my right pocket and just the wallet in my left. There's an update that just randomly appeared for "Biometerics and Security" that I just did and it's way better although I didn't have too much of an issue before. I tried system updates before hand and it didn't show anything so hopefully that helps others that it's "Biometrics and Security" update and not a system update which I thought it was.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bill_hubb:
in very typical sprint fashion I got an update tonight as well, but it was literally just labeled as security update, nothing explicitly set about biometrics. I suspect it was related though, as I read something a few days ago about Samsung having an update ready for it already. Either way, for my 99% use case it seems to be 99% successful unlocking with one press. I upgraded from an s7, so the performance difference is... well it's night and day
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] oakleyguy89:
Oh definitely much better! I actually upgraded from a LG G6 which I technically upgraded from an S7 edge which was slowing down, so I found a deal on facebook marketplace on this LG G6 in great condition. I decided to get the phone and sell my S7 edge to a close friend/co-worker. Turns out that the phone I bought the ear piece speaker sounded really bad during calls, almost to the point of not being able to understand anyone unless the volume was way low. To top it off, supposedly the G6 SIM card trays are defective and mine literally snapped as I was pulling it out to take my SIM card and SD card out of it.. Meanwhile my friend has had no issues whatsoever with the S7 edge I sold to her. I would've been fine if I just did a factory reset on the S7 edge, but instead I was dumb and fell into a too good to be true deal :( Lesson learned though! I'll stick to Samsung for my phones from now on!

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] brand0nYates:
I'm sure everyone has their gripes with this phone, but my main one has to deal with the overall smoothness of the device. Since day 1 it has been, at most times, horrendous. Animations are choppy at best, pulling down the notification shade is choppy, and opening apps is like watching someone stutter. Of course, doing a factory reset and rebooting every time your phone starts to slow down works, but who wants to do that every 30 minutes? Not me. But that's been my experience.

One other thing I've noticed is that any time I have a pending notification from Poke'mon Go, the phone's general smoothness comes to a choppy halt. As as soon as I dismiss the notification everything speeds up to normal -- for a short time.

I don't know what else to do. I've started really decreasing what I have and what I've put on my phone for the sake of having a smooth experience, but that's ridiculous. My phone has dwindled down to just that -- a phone. I feel like I can't do anything on it without the lags and stutters coming back to haunt my eyes. I know this phone only has 4GB of RAM, but damn. Something needs to be optimized. I can't play a game while listening to music, check an email really quick without one of the three, -- if not all -- of my apps being killed due to low RAM.

How is everyone else after the March update?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] EMJI79:
Maybe you should consider asking for a replacement cause it shouldn't be such a problem.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Homeboy76:
Before you request a RMA, I would suggest Installing the March 2019 factory image 'wipe data'.

This guide will help: [Guide] Pixel 3 XL Android 9.0 (Pie) Unlock/Root/Install Images/Kernels/Recovery + by Homeboy76

Do #4 'wipe data' then #7 or #8 to root.

Note: Use twrp-3.2.3-3 not twrp-3.2.3-4 that has problems.

Why am I recommend you wipe your phone and re-setting up your phone? Your problem might be that one of the Apps or Mods you have installed are not compatible.

ive played with about a dozen pixel 3 and 3xls and the issue exists everywhere

some people are more sensitive to it than others.

i have literally shown people the "choppy-ness" and they dont see it, so it looks like you may be one of the ones who are more sensitive to these things.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] OkayGK:
Mine been good for the most part. After one of the updates it felt slow. To the point it was getting on my nerves. I even had to do a reset.

After March update, most is fixed. Feels like a good old pixel.

Still camera experience isn't the fastest but is better than before.

Initial turn on of app like sms, settings, phone takes time but that has always been there since day one.

I didn't notice any choppiness yet anywhere, even in Google feed.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Eudeferrer:
I haven't noticed any major or unusual choppiness on mine. However, I think what apps you use has a lot you do with it. Some apps are just memory hogs and will show down your phone regardless of what it is. I have over 240 apps but none are social media nor games like Pokeman. My phone runs pretty smooth.

I have a Pixel 3 and the camera still sucks after the March OTA. The camera would take forever to load the view finder. It would crash after going from camera to video mode. I have to restart the phone for the camera to work. Needless to say the March OTA did not resolve camera problems.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] abhinavkonagala:
You are not alone my friend. The laggy-ness is unreal. This led me to want to root my phone and improve performance. I am researching all the things I can before I root. It looks doable but I'm afraid I might brick my phone.

It's a shame that your's is from Verizon. Hopefully, the April update fixes the issues.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] igknight:
Not only have I had this issue, but mine seems to be worse after the March update. It seems to lag the most right after I unlock it (not always), there are times I have to wait for 4+ seconds for it to become responsive. The camera still has some issues, but after using it for a while (the camera and the phone itself), it seems to get more responsive.

I've also noticed a bit of a battery drain. Now showing any apps that can be causing it. Can't say atm if this is due to the update or not as a few days I have used it more, and according to AccuBattery, my phones seems to have not fully charged last night.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] evo4ger:
This has bothered me since day one...I've come to the conclusion that chrome was a memory hog...been using opera mini , Nova launcher, disabled apps I don't use along with chrome, disabled all background activity, added home screen shortcuts instead of apps. People have blamed it on adaptive battery but now I get no choppiness even with adaptive battery on ... Worth a shot
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] NippleSauce:
Interesting. I've stayed on the January update because of this thread, however, I haven't had many issues with choppiness on my Google 3XL. The only time I've ever experienced any choppiness at all was when using certain custom kernels. But as of the January update, the stock kernel usually gets me at least 5 hours of intensive usage screen on time and so I haven't had the need to use a custom kernel.

And also, I'm super sensitive to choppiness as I'm a PC gamer and play everything at 165fps (and so anything under 60fps burns my eyes lol) - so it's definitely not that I'm just not seeing it.

After flashing the ROM (L26 WM 6.1 Professional WWE V6a with

R 1.58.26.20) everything works fine, but videos taken with the camera show only as a green screen. The sound is there, just the picture is missing. When I transfer the .MP4 file to the PC and play it - the result is the same. The PC has the K-Lite codeck pack, so it is not a codec issue.

I searched this forum and couldn't find anything about this problem. Any ideas?

Ha ha! couldn't resist.

I've had a similar problem with taking pictures a few times and never figured out what it was. It was in a high light situation, with the resolution set to highest and superfine and the pictures taken were just solid black, while pictures taken immediately in a different lighting situation were fine. I dropped the resolution down a notch and it worked fine.

Weird.

Actually it's been a fairly recent discovery I think. Probably related to the release of the new CPUs (MSM7201) that are suppose to circumvent some patent infringement or something. Anyway, you can follow the progress of this issue here:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] juliank:
Yes, you were right. It was the new CPU on my Tilt. The funny thing is I tried several ROMS and all of them were recognizing it as 7200. I finally installed the NoThrills ROM and it recognized it as QUALCOMM(R) 7201 and the camera started taking videos. This ROM also runs everytning faster... at least until I started installing things.
[MX Player] Orfieus:
So I'm using MX Player to watch videos in bed through my network, but my issue is the player isn't switching to the next episode. I use Solid Explorer to navigate to TV folder on my PC and I can select the episode and watch it without issue but once the episode is over I'm not able to switch to the next episode, I have to back out of MX Player and select the next episode in the season.

Is there a reason for this and a fix?2

edit: I forgot to mention I've tried many different file explorers and all of them didn't continue on to the next episode. I also tried uploading a few episodes to Google Drive and used Solid Explorer to connect to it and once again MX Player doesn't switch to next episode at the end. In fact, the only way it does switch to the next episode is if the files are directly on the device, which is not practical since I have every single episode of the Simpsons (ideally want I want is MX Player to randomly pick the next episode once the one I'm watching is over)

Does this phone support carrier aggregation?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] TVKade:
Would like to know the answer to this as well. as far as CA is concerned only supported hardware is not enough, you need proper drivers and firmware to enable it in a device. thus my Redmi note 3 Pro (snapdragon 650) only support intra-band Carrier aggregation (same band), it does not support inter-band Carrier aggregation (multiple bands)

All the ISP in my country uses interband (Not intraband) carrier aggregation, especially 2CA B3+B7 are important to reach high speeds (over 100 Mbps)

I'm not able to find "official" info about 4G+ Carrier Aggregation of Redmi Note 7/Pro, MI9, no specs from Xiaomi side.

Is carrier aggregation (on lte which will show lte+ or 4g+ icon) only available for intra-band? or inter-band finally works too.

Hello!

I'm use Conquest S8 (chinese) droid 5.1 phone. 4 core, 1300MHz, 3GB RAM, 16/10GB free storage, rooted, xposed installed. Not changed CPU settings (not overclocking).

Working in 2 years. Before 3 months reset and reinstall phone.

After reinstalled, UI randomly stopped.

No error log available.

The symhtom:

1.

Working in 1 hour or 14 days random. Screen freezing without "cpu-monitoring line" in top of screen. Camera recording continued when screen freezed. Only available long power pressing to restart.

2.

Used bigger software (60-80MB) after 1-2 days and phone restarted shortly (not full restart: restart time 1/3 in normal starting).

3.

FB, new Skype etc. very big software if runned, daily automatic restarting.

Not overheated, not out of memory, no new softwares (only reinstalled old 2 year running softwares in old versions).
