[Google Daydream VR] cversek:
I'm cross-posting a thread that I started on google-vr github issues and r/daydream (sorry no links, but title is the same), since nobody seems to be able to help in those places:

Has anyone else seen how dim the Pixel 3 XL screen is when in VR mode using "reduce flicker" display mode (no low-persistence)? This is a big problem for our project, since I am a (novice-intermediate) android developer and professional scientist making eye testing apps for ophthalmology applications.

I was able to measure only 20-30 lux coming off a full white texture. In "reduce blur" mode the same texture gives about 80 lux, which is barely acceptable, but we cannot use this mode since the flicker itself messes with our tests. The normal Daydream launcher app looks quite dim as well. We've tested two brand new identical Pixel 3 XL phones and they both are that dim in VR mode only. When we were using the Pixel 2 XL on Oreo, we could get close to the full 500 lux in "reduce flicker" VR mode.

We'd prefer at least 100 lux for normal stimuli, but there is no (obvious) way to adjust brightness! I've even looked in to changing the hidden setting "screen_brightness_for_vr" but did not see any effects - Google VR services seems to ignore this setting. Any hack would do at this point, honestly. We can root the phone and even do a custom ROM if necessary. On the regular Pixel 3, my coworker gets over 200 lux for this texture and display mode. This has to be a mistake, right? We filed a github issue, but apparently no new issues have had a reply for over two weeks now. We are contemplating returning the phones to the Google store since they are practically useless for our purposes.

Anyway, thanks in advance for any insights that the community can provide.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] vlachorumsapiens:
Can anyone confirm if the dual-LED flash is single-tone or dual-tone? On the official MI India website a single-tone flash is specified for the RN7Pro. However on some online shops a dual-tone flash is specified. I find it very confusing...

On my RN7Pro device the right LED is brighter than the left LED. Is this normal? Can anyone please confirm this? I think this is evidence of a dual-tone flash. The right LED should be the cold one since it is brighter, while the left LED should be the warm one...at least in theory.

But if it's actually a single-tone LED, then I'm not 100% sure if it's supposed to be a cold or a warm one since they don't emit the same amount of brightness...

I would really appreciate it if anyone could edify me about my dilemma.

Thanks in advance!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Klaus69:
It's single tone on Redmi 7 Pro(that's what i have, don't know exactly about N7)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] vlachorumsapiens:
Thanks for the reply!

Perhaps I'm paying too much attention to detail. If you look for 15 seconds directly into the flash, your eyes will slowly accommodate and you will be able to see a difference between the right LED and the left LED. Maybe it's just me and everything's actually fine.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] AbhiAbhiBisht:
Yes I can see two different shades but it's a single LED, just the plastic cover on it might be dual colour (one white and other more like yellowish).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] vlachorumsapiens:
Yes! That's exactly what I was talking about! Thank you for confirming my observation :good:

Hi to everyone, in my country everyone uses whatsapp to communicate so the following problem is really important to me: whatsapp on my phone has very rare wakelocks most of time have to open the app to recevice messages or almost everytime I receive the notification hours later.

Is this only a problem of mine? Please share with me your experience either you have this problem or not

I have this problem for a year, at the beginning the only ROM that solved the problem was TGP rom, but now also on TGP I have the problem, I tried every solution I could imagine and tried differents ROMS and kernel

Hello,

I have searched this and other forums for a fully working ROM for the SM-N900V with either Nougat or Oreo. I have tried them all; RR Oreo, Lineage 14.1 and Lineage 15.1. They all seem awesome, but none of them are fully functional. EIther you can't get network or Google Play services working properly, in spite of the myriad fixes posted. Does anyone know of a working ROM I can download to my SM-N900V? Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your help in advance :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] chriss_russell:
Try using smart switch app on PC and phone when connected it should search for latest update out for your model, ie , if its available and your provider does not send out

By the way my phone will not be locked again right?

You should be able to still receive the OTA update for your device regardless of your location. I am currently using the Korean variant N950N in Hong Kong and I am able to get the OTA OS updates for my device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
The difference is he's using a carrier branded device with a non-US SIM card in it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iceepyon:
That shouldn't matter. As my N950N is a LG U+ branded unit and I have a HK SIM card in it. I can still get OTA updates without any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Jamesdjo:
So i should wait ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Unfortunately it DOES matter on the US variants. If he doesn't have a US SIM in it, then he won't get the OTAs.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] OnnoJ:
Not my experience.... I am using a N950U1 with a Dutch SIM for 9 months now and I have received all OTAs without any issues...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Apples and oranges. The N950U1 is the factory unlocked u branded version and updates are controlled by Samsung. The OP has a Sprint branded N950U, and OTAs would be pushed by Sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iceepyon:
Try downloading Samsung Kies onto your computer. Connect your device to your PC and use that to update the OS on your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
The OP could just flash the N950U1 firmware to his device then he would likely get the OTA updates. But he won't on the N950U. They are the same exact device hardware-wise, just different firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] juliospinoza:
I have the U1 Snapdragon (US version unlocked) and I am in Mexico using a Mexican SIM and I am getting all the updates just as everybody does.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
That's why I said the OP could just flash the U1 firmware and get updates. As long as he's on the carrier branded firmware he won't get them.

Thank you for the confirmation that U1 works out of the US with a foreign SIM!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] RobAGD:
So I find this interesting, I have a N950U1 with 8.0 on it and I have been getting security updates. But I haven't received the 9.0 update. I am in the US on the Sprint network. Now I did buy the phone as a referb through an Amazon re seller, is there something else that I would need to check to see why I am not seeing the 9.0 update?

This is my first go around with an unlocked phone so this is a some new territory for me.

Maybe your new phone is not the N950U1 US unlocked version and that's the reason you are not receiving the update, you said is a refurbished phone, maybe you need to check the hardware and software.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jmartin72:
For years I have rooted my phones, and have had just about all the OEM's at one time or another. Since I've had my Pixels, not so much. So I decided to Root my Pixel, and run a custom ROM for the weekend, and today, I had had enough, and went back to stock. It's just not for me anymore. I like for everything to work, and what I get from stock is just perfect for me. Why is everyone else still holding on?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] JagXK8:
I miss being a flash-a-holic lol. I would always flash alot of custom roms also and my fav was Pure Nexus. i'm currently stock and fine with it well i wanted to try Q so. I still wanted a Pure Pixel rom but it never happened.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] froader:
I think pretty much the ability to properly backup and restore using Titanium Backup. Otherwise, I as well would be done with root. Sure would make the monthly updates easier...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] karikian:
I have always rooted my devices. From Nexus 6p, Pixel XL, Pixel 2XL, I never felt I needed to, they always ran great and did exactly what I needed. My favorite, including a 2 days battery was Pixel 2 XL.

However, with Pixel 3 XL, the battery, and now the lagging, has been a nightmare. It's like I am dealing with samsumg all over again, like it was with samsumgs, pockets pcs, etc...

I was about to root and flash a custom until I saw your post... which means, not even the custom roms will fix this horrible phone... thats sad... I always buy my pixels on launch date, but I will eagerly wait for the next one, but only buy it 3 or 4 months later, if I buy it. For now, I am now researching between the latest samsung, OPO and Huawei to replace my P3XL, I really can't take it anymore. What a waste of money in this phone, and is not even worth half of what I paid now....
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] wangdaning:
I use a custom rom for customization (changing statusbar color, accent colors, customize reboot menu, change statusbar icons, etc). Use root so I can disable navbar and use pie controls, use tasker and other apps properly, enable fingerprint pay where it is not allowed, and many other things.

I admit on stock you can use tulsadiver's mods to change most of the things a custom rom does, but you have to redo it on every update.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] TonikJDK:
Stock with root and ElememtalX kernel for the extra high brightness mode. Need it because I mount my phone to the handlebars of my motorcycle for Nav. It's ok without it, but so much better with it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 21cdb:
I held off for years before putting a custom ROM on my Pixels, but I finally relented because of some lag on my 3XL. Now I'm running the latest AOSiP with Kirisakura kernel, and everything works beautifully and better than stock. Those of you who are having issues and have nothing to lose should definitely try a custom ROM. I haven't yet found anything that doesn't function better than stock. It's been totally stable and fully functional for me. With better performance and more features, of course.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] djcrystals:
There are still a couple reasons that keep me flashing custom. Not as many as there used to be. I still enjoy it though. Just like switching Linux Distros. I do it when I'm bored. It's fun.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] c_86:
For me. It's roms. Kernels. Titanium. And ad blockers.

There are lots of reasons to still root. But to each there own.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cantara256:
What finally drove me away from custom ROMs is that devs would stop supporting my device as soon as a new flashier, newer, c00l3r device came out. Basic bugs wouldn't get fixed. They'd be switching forums every few months (XDA? Telegram? Google+?). I'd donate $100 and a month later my favorite features would stop working or be dropped.

In short, lack of long term (6-9 months "long term"?) basic stability in favor chasing the latest new toy. I get it, it's their free time, but that's why I donated, and this is why I left.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rspkt:
This is the first Android device I've had I've kept stock with exception to rooting and a few Magisk modules like ViPER4Android. Other than that, I have to admit I am pretty content with the stock experience.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sliding_billy:
After almost 3 years (starting with the OG PIxel and XL), I finally installed a custom ROM on the 3XL but left the 3 stock and rooted. I may go back to stock and rooted with Q coming. The biggest reason for me to quit swapping custom ROMs on these devices is that TWRP has really become nothing more than a zip flasher. Multiple slot issues and no real Nandroid functionality makes it so that a custom ROM just replaces stock if you are happy with it and support continues. The time to completely wipe and reconfigure after a custom install just isn't worth it more than once for me.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] wangdaning:
Data backs up fine on TWRP and restoring it gets back all your settings.
