Well, the 90Hz display seems to be a kind of a sham though...

Yes, the Pixel 4 offers the 90Hz and even the great feature of the smooth display where the framerate is reduced to 60Hz when "the 90Hz are not required conent-wise" - at least that's what Google is telling us.

However, as some users no found out (can be tested with testufo.com whre the framerate is constantly displayed) the schange to 60Hz is not really related to content, but obviously the Pixel 4 will reduce the framerate to 60Hz whenever that brightness is set to 75% or below...

Of course you can for the permanent 90Hz framerate in the developer settings, but that's probably not really going to help with battery life.

There also seems to a "work-around" with Ambient EQ enabled depending on the surrounding brightness.

So yeah, the 90Hz display is a nice feature, but honestly I expected a bit a different approach from Google.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
It's a bug with the 75% brightness not allowing 90 hz, should be quickly fixed.

One of the reasons I chose a P3XL was for oem unlocking, which didn't work at first. (This is what lead me to discover OP) The camera was also often failing to save photos. Both issues the previous generation had as well! My PXL also had Bluetooth issues. I'm not paying hundreds extra for a device to "stumble out of the gate" and wait weeks to months for things to work as intended. :eek:

My utter trash OOS has worked great from day one!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
Uhmm, no it doesn't. Memory management is STILL retarded on OP devices. Not to mention their auto brightness is still fukd, which leads to their other major issue, screen flickering, requiring that DC dimming nonsense. So, no, OP is far from perfect. The big difference, they have known about these issues across several devices, yet still refuse (or cant) to fix it. All of these issues people are having, I have no doubt will be fixed shortly. I'll still take a Google devive over that OP garbage, any day of the week. In fact, I'm gonna take a page from Jamess Cameron. I am going to forget about the last 3 OP devices I have had (all T models) and pick up right after my Shamu, putting this OP nonsense out of my timeline and pretending it never happened ??
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] replica9000:
I haven't had screen flickering. Yeah, memory management could be improved, but I'd take that over missing data
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
You don't really notice it unless you're screen brightness is REALLY low. I am active in the middle of the night quite often, that's when I would notice it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] replica9000:
I'm regularly up at 3am. Haven't noticed it at all. And I've had the phone before dc dimming was introduced

What I'd like to know is, why are you here? You said you have a Note 9 that you're all warm and fuzzy with, you clearly don't plan on buying a 4xl, so, why are you even on a PIXEL 4XL BOARD? Do you like being a troll? Because that's all you're doing, trolling. The folks on here decided to buy this phone BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO. We all know the specs and such, and we all made our decisions. Some will return their phones because they didn't like it. Cool, it's not for everybody. Seriously, GTFO of here with this crap. No one cares man.

I despise Samsung, am I on any of their boards telling people their devices suck? Nope. I have better things to do than hate and troll on things.

Please, do us all a favor and go away. Bye!

---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

Here we go with the couple months of trolls... Every. Year. Even when I briefly had an Samsung S7, same thing. I guess if you have zero life and feel the need to hate on other people's things and choices, why not?

Lame.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Jammol:
It's called Freedom, it's a Forum for discussions, I never said I wasn't buying it, never said when, never said I'm warm and fuzzy over or with my Note 9. Pretty sure I Read the title of this thread correctly. Also pretty sure I responded to said title in my original post. So unless you're a forum dictator or are completely against Freedom, i suggest you leave me be and not reply to my postings.

Not to mention, stating an opinion about something isn't trolling. Nowhere in my postings did i hate on anyone.

See this is the ignorance i was also referring to. The need to defend thinking that doesn't involve thought it seems. Nowhere in my posts did I put down the phone in anyway besides to say its overpriced, and then I replied to others and someone specifically about justifying the price of the tech.

But hey, if you feel the need to reply to me without any sort actual discourse or discussion concerning the topic at hand, feel free to continue to tell me to GTFO. Just like how people here who are justifying the price of the device aren't going to listen to me, I'm not about to let someone behind an IP address tell me where om XDA I can't post.?

Good job on the intelligent discussion.??
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] gettinwicked:
Lol. So, let's see here:

"Wait, are so many of you really that ignorant that you are justifying the price of this device COMPARED to the competition? For real people? You type on here that you're not just paying for hardware? No sh!t?! You're not just paying for hardware no matter what phone you buy fam. Stop being blind and stop defending an over priced device!

And before anyone thinks I'm upset at Google, I'm not. All businesses are in the business of making money. I'm upset at the people that are going to continue to justify increased prices for LESS tech. It's time we stop doing that as consumers, rich, middle class or dead broke. Stop defending companies charging crazy high prices for tech that others companies are exceeding already for way less money.

And yeah, my signature says I'm rocking a Note 9. At least I got my money's worth from this device that actually HAS tech that no other companies are exceeding and offering for a lower price.

All businesses are in the business of making money! ?"

The, "Wait, are so many of you really that ignorant." I mean, how is that NOT attacking us buyers? Pretty 'ignorant' as you so eloquently called me.

You're entire post isn't a discussion as much as it is a complete attack on the device as well as calling people out for being 'ignorant' enough to buy it. You might as well have just

called us idiots, or stupid for doing so. Just because you worded it differently does not mean it is taken as such. Something like, "why would you all decide to buy a device that is inferior to others for the price? Let me explain," would have been a proper discussion. If you think either of your posts are constructive criticism, or any kind of a discussion, you are WAY off pal. Your post is trolling. If you can't discuss reasonably, please take it somewhere else, no one wants to sit and argue with someone who just blatantly attacks instead of having a good conversation.

Have a nice day

Sometimes I find myself being a bit of a Richard online. I never do it in person and honestly don't know why being online will bring it out of me from time to time. I do try though, try and think it through before I post something. I ask myself if I'm using facts to skewer someone, to win, but without any real purpose. That's no way to be, no one likes that guy. Am I stating an opinion or facts? Is what I'm posting unduly negative to no particular end? You get the idea, that kind of thing. I still manage to be a Richard every once in a while but I'm trying.

I'd say Jammol that the latter is where you're running into a problem here. Everyone got it the first time and if they didn't they are never going to and the why doesn't matter. There used to be an old saying that fully half the people are below average in intelligence. The truth is that most people statistically lie close to average, almost all of us are just a little better than average, a little worse than average, or just plain average. I didn't buy the phone because I'm stupid, I bought it because it meets my needs better than the next best option. I did hear you and agree with some of your thoughts but not all. Value is not absolute it's relative.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Jammol:
My ignorant post was directed to two people but xda wouldn't let me quote them even though I copied the posts. It just kept giving the wheel of death. Regardless, I still stand by my point of this device being fluffed, and people are blindly buying it and ignoring the competition that offers better for less. I actually went on to say, if you're rich and you just like to do that, cool beans but you're just inflating the idea to others and manufacturers that the device is worth the amount they are charging.

My follow up replies for directly to the people that quoted me. Whomever they be, I still stand by my point. I never said people can't buy whatever they want, I simply said why they shouldn't, and my thoughts on it. I own a Note 9, so I myself have made that mistake in some way of buying a device that doesn't fully justify the price tag. But like I said, at least anyone that bought a Note device actually got some of their money's worth. This Pixel iteration, does not offer anything that justifies the price tag. And anyone who ignores that is either rich and frivolous or is ignorant to why they shouldn't purchase said device. Yes, value is relative it is not absolute, and maybe that's the issue and the reason why Google can get away with charging more money for a device with less offerings than others.

Let me ask a question then and not just to you. How many people think the iPhone 11 is a good upgrade from the iphone 10 series of devices?

Actually you know what, I have a pretty good idea of what the majority would say so it doesn't even matter.??

---------- Post added at 12:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 AM ----------

Meh see below or above. The post was directed at 2 people, see above or below, wherever this quote falls. Thanks for fixing the post I guess and offering suggestions? I still stand by it. Calling someone ignorant is not the same as calling someone stupid. If I wanted to say stupid I would have. And calling someone ignorant is not hating on someone. I got nothing to hate on any of you. I'm not repeating myself, buy what you all want. Please just don't complain when the prices keep going up as so many have over the years. It's the same BS that happened with the Note 5. People justifying losing features and then suddenly started praising more when those features came back like if they invented something new. Same crap Apple does and xda member slam them for all the time. Same people who call Apple fans sheeple I think? Meh.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
I went from the Pixel 3 XL to the 4 XL, and it seems like what I heard about people upgrading from the iPhone X ( 2017 ) to the iPhone XS ( 2018 ), I'm no iPhone guy, but I heard the X to XS upgrade was a sidegrade, really not a huge deal. But at least on the 4 XL, we got rid of the notch, and the build quality and design is actually much higher, and built in Assistant feels instant. But yes, the 3XL to 4 XL is not a big upgrade at the end of the day.

Now the iPhone 11 Pro from the XS, that saw 2 major upgrades, being the cameras are massively better on the 11 Pro than the XS, and battery life is significantly better than the XS, and the display got better too. Other than that, it's the same exact design, and still the same stale iOS. But those two upgrades are very important ones.

So will the Pixel 5 will have a 4,500mAh battery, and the best camera for of 2020.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
[MENTION=4613660]Jammol[/MENTION], I don't actually dislike the iphone, I always explain my view by saying it's an answer to a question I never asked. I like setting up my desktop just so, things on my phone are modified in very specific ways because those are the ways I do business.Those things aren't right,, they are just what I like to do and the iphone doesn't let me do them. This is why I don't own an iphone. As to the 11 I don't know much about it, nor do I know much about the 10 because they are not on any list I would ever make of phones that I might buy. Mrs Crab does have an iphone, the 10, she doesn't see anything worth worth making an upgrade to the 11. It's not the money, she does ok, she just doesn't see anything worth spending money on. While she is highly educated tech isn't her thing so I don't think it much matters to her. As to the rest of your post I still think you don't understand that value is based on more than cost and is not absolute. I don't know where to go here because I cant add to my last post without writing a novel that no one would read and they wouldn't be wrong skipping it. This is not the forum for getting into that kind of discussion.

I love this phone. I would have preferred to have a finger print sensor but I am getting used to Face Unlock. The camera is great. The battery could be better but it gets me through the day. I don't understand all the complaints.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ATLDON:
I like my new Pixel 4XL. It's my first Pixel and stock android device purchase. The screen definition, and fluid operation are great and no bloatware! The only gripes I have are no RCS messaging availability at the moment, no headphone jack, and no fingerprint sensor but the face unlock is VERY fast and it's growing on me......I don't understand the complaints either.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
No RCS!? As far as I know dies Messages use RCS protocol instead of the old SMS protocol.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
It's carrier dependant. I think RCS isn't on Verizon. Works for me on Sprint.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
The carriers announced an agreement on RCS support which meets their needs, hard to say what they wanted changed but you can bet it's some form of control over the platform. In any event it will be live across the US carriers in the future. I say future because the agreement between them has just been made, didn't see any date on the timing

Coming from the Galaxy s10+ and I gotta say, I'm thoroughly loving this phone so far. There are pro's and con's to every device out there, but I'm not disappointed in the least, and really glad I ignored a lot of the reviews and decided for myself what I really wanted. It's a :good: from me!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] smartymcfly:
The upgrade from 2xl to 3xl was also kind of a "sidegrade". It was very close to looking exactly the same aside from the notch. The p2xl cases nearly had an equal fit. The 3xl.to 4xl, I think it is the biggest upgrade between any of the pixels so far.

I just got the Motorola HT820 bluetooth stereo headphones and I cannot get them connected to my computer properly. I plugged in my Actiontec bluetooth dongle and it installed on my pc. Then I paired my HT820 with the computer. It shows as paired, but it doesn't have any services.

Anybody got any advice?

i had some bluetake bluetooth headphones never could get them to work prob with vidcomm or ms bluetooth stacks well they worked as headset but not as stereo good quality headset when i picked that profile they just dident play

did get them to work with the toshiba bluetooth stack but not great

and then the trail ran out

maybe it's the fault of the headset or maybe the bluetooth stacks never confirmed it

Is there any place to get generic bluetooth drivers with A2DP? Or does the bluetooth dongle have to be setup for that already?

Boy I had a nightmare .

The fingerprint sensor authorised my friend's unsaved fingerprint on my device.

This happened when automatically night mode got turned on... Reading mode to be honest.

Is this just me of any more of you folks.

Using a normal tempered glass.

It's the screen protector

This seems to be the possible explanation. Optical fingerprint scanners don't just unlock with unregistered prints.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Snah001:
Discard all the stored fingerprints and initiate a read of a new print from single or multiple fingers with the tempered glass on it.

Then try if you can repeat that fenomena with your friend's finger.

https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/18...nition-patch-next-week-bug-biometric-security

The fingerprint scanner has just more information of a maybe "grainy" cheap screen protector than the needed fingerprint.

Maybe a cleanup of the screen protector and a reregristering of the fingerprints could help somewhat

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] nakulp:
I don't think so , that model of samsung has ultrasonic scanner & application of glass protection caused a slight air gap thus altering & glitching up the signal.

Our model has an optical sensor, fingerprint sensitivity might get reduced but won't accept false positives.

---------- Post added at 11:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 PM ----------

Have you tried this yourself? It's not accepting unregistered fingerprints at all for me.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Kogar:
I am not saying that it is registering false positives on a clean display. The scanning is not affected by a good transparent screen protector even if it is thicker.

At about the fifth second and at about the 36th second of the youtube video you can see a lot of streaks on the reflection of the display.

During registering it could have taken the streaks as markers of the fingerprint. So it is mixing these "markers" with the regular fingerprint photo which could lead to the unlocking.

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] TheLegend88:
I've found the solution, register your fingerprints 2 times for each finger.

Anyways, if you have a faulty fingerprint sensor that means that the quality checks of Xiaomi are doubtful. So... I still plan to get rid of my k20 pro. Just imagine what could happen if you loose your device and somebody puts its hands on your data. Bank accounts, contacts, sensitive information... So... Xiaomi still has to learn much from the other players.
