[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] pahlerc1:
I have been purchasing the Google phone on it's release day since the 6P.. I thought about getting the 4XL.. but there are lots of things I've realized I am not fond of with this release.

- While I do like the refresh rate, I don't see many other things I'm too excited about.

- They did away with the fingerprint scanner - for FACE ID... not a fan.

- Then I believe the 4XL doesn't have dual front facing speakers, that's one of my favorite features

- Also it doesn't support the new 5G network that is starting to get released throughout the US. If I am going to pay this much money for a phone, i need to know that is has the hardware/specs to survive technology upgrades.

- Oh, and everyone is hating on the notch on the 3XL --> i have no issue with it. my phone is always darked/blacked out anyways, so it's irrelevant to me

- Then on top of it all, trade in value through google for my perfect condition 3XL only got me $260 for a phone I paid $1,000 for a year ago.

No thanks Google. I'm good. I'll wait.

Side note: DU for Android 10 will probably release sometime in the next month or so, and I'll completely forget about the 4XL anyways
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Dusty Rhodes:
I'm in on the 4XL.

I'm kind of excited for the night camera, zoom, 90hz screen, telephoto zoom, and radar. From the early reviews the face unlock and camera are really REALLY good. One reviewer said unlocking it is so fast that the he felt like the phone was always unlocked. The act of picking up the phone then unlocking it is imperceptible. Apparently, you pick it up and *boop* it's open before your eyes even focus on the screen. Google also had to include an option to slow it down so that it wouldn't trigger if you just wanted lockscreen info.

I pre-ordered the white 64 gb 4 XL so I will be leaving this forum soon, and heading over the the 4 XL. So long 3 XL, I won't miss your ugly ass notch at all!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] OkayGK:
Never again. I think i next phone will be apple. I havent had apple since ip4. i was very close in getting the ip11. May wait for 12, may still get the 11th.

Google, def no. They did a half ass job with 3, not gonna fall for the new model.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] mcgleevn:
I'd like to, but... Can anyone tell me if ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY is more software than hardware, i.e. can I get the similar results with my 3XL with maybe only a camera update/mod?

Otherwise, I'm sold on the 90hz screen, Soli is interesting especially the look-to-unlock feature >>> believe it or not, I kind of like the notch on my 3XL and I'm not in a huge rush... But with trade in of $260 plus what sounds like $100 Google Store credit, pricing is not too bad (wait 3 - 6 months and it'll drop even more).
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Dusty Rhodes:
A slightly less capable version of astrophotography is coming to the Pixel 3. You can download the beta Google camera app now and it is enabled, AndroidPolice has a link.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] pcloadletter1:
I'll get one eventually, hopefully there will be a $200 discount on black Friday. Really like the idea of 90hz. Really dislike the rounded corner masking on the screen.

Can you set a schedule for face id? I don't want my phone unlocking at night.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] uicnren:
Currently using the 7.1 GCam on my 3XL, while good, the 4 XL in theory will be quite a bit better at astrophotography.

The 3 XL (at this time anyway) only takes a 1 min. 5 sec. exposure, whilst the 4 XL takes a 4 min. 5 sec. exposure, thats an insane amount of difference for gathering light in the dark.

Since both cams use some of the same hardware, the added light detection should make quite a difference, how much though in real life, remains to be seen.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
No way with a year old P3 that trades in at $225 and P3XL that trades in at $295. Both are in perfect functional and cosmetic shape. They are still buttery smooth, and I don't expect upping the ram from 4 to 6 is going to change much (especially to human feel and not BS benchmarks). I skipped Pixel 2 and suspect that I will do the same with 4.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Goku80:
Honestly speaking the phone is nothing to shout about. Screen looks amazing. Worth it yes. But apart from that nothing else to shout about. Camera looks good. But to move from the 3xl to the 4 I will pass
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] alpinista82:
Since google doesn't include unlimited photo/video storage with the Pixel 4 I won't buy it. Will wait for No. 5 (with hopefully 6K video at least).
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] rspkt:
Pretty confident I'll buy it on Black Friday when they're on sale. I like my 3 XL but the 4 XL would be nice. I'll just resell old phone to recoup some additional cost.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] parakleet:
Now that I understand that Google no longer includes unlimited storage for pics and videos I would change my vote to No.

I will probably run the 3XL until that feature expires.

**Just saw what alpinista82 said.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobbyphoenix:
I already said no, but now I'm really sure. No original picture size saving, no dual front facing speakers, no fingerprint scanner (huge for me), sure the battery on the 4 XL is a bit bigger than on the 3 XL, but with more sensors along with the 90 mhz refresh rate I'm sure it will have worse SoT. All for the same price as the 3, and not to mention no headphones or dongle included. It seems more like a completely different phone rather than the next "update/upgrade" in line from the 3. Like both phones will cater to a different crowd. Not that the 4 is the 3's replacement.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] parakleet:
More good reasons.

I am somewhat concerned that this dog of a release and not being in the India market might lead to the Pixel phone line being discontinued as a whole
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobbyphoenix:
I'm thinking of it more as a learning curve. They will see they can't compete at this price with what they bring, and given the great success of the Nexus line, and even the 3a line, they may just as well go back to a mid/higher end phone like those, and sell them like crazy at a great price. I don't think they will completely abandon a pure Google phone.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] MArtyChubbs:
I'll wait until the phone is about three or four hundred dollars off and I think Google should fire Executives over this release. They want to sell more phones, coming off the success of the 3a...then s the bed. The battery life of the P4 reminds me of the S6. That phone still shows up in my nightmares.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Alcagoita:
They will release a Pixel 4a, that's the new model for them. One major release and one budget phone.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] spotmark:
After reading the lackluster reviews, I'm definitely waiting for the 5XL.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Kpos3:
Thinking to change my Iphone 7 plus for it!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] devsk:
Apart from the ones you listed, you forgot the most important aspect: full resolution cloud storage for 3 years is gone with Pixel 4. Google has pulled a bait and switch! And 900$ for 64GB? And markup of 100$ for 128GB? In 2019? Google went completely pedestrian this year. Never Pixel again!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] droidstyle:
Nope...just bought a 128gb 3XL as new for 399.00. Not paying 1k for a device...let alone one with no fingerprint sensor or front facing speakers. The 4 seems like a step backwards imo.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] spotmark:
A good read if you're considering the 4.

https://www.zdnet.com/article/undoing-my-1000-mistake-why-im-returning-the-pixel-4xl-to-google/
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] swieder711:
Nope. I am sticking with my 128GB Pixel 3XL for another year.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] boe323:
Not purchasing it, simply because it look like the crapple, and they gave it a horrible black screen waster
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Fuzzy13:
I've never been less excited about a Google phone. The Pixel 4 is a giant step back. Very disappointing.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] spotmark:
Wow! After reading this thread, I hope enough people buy it, so they don't discontinue the Pixel line. Hopefully they'll make it up to us with the 5.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Rafsxd:
Will pass Pixel 4.

It's definetly a total disgrace. Poor battery size/life, no dual front cameras, no front dual speakers, FUC!@#$$ NO FINGERPRINT SENSOR, HELL NO UNLIMITED GOOGLE PHOTOS, too damn expensive, radar is boring and sucks too much battery, 90hz screen sucks too much battery, and the dual back cameras are not too much different from Pixel 3 XL in over all aspect. There's some reviews that proves that. As an user of google's phones since the very first Nexus, I can say that Pixel 4 is a HUGE disgrace and failure. It's a tremendous waste of money.

For the very first time an Iphone is cheaper and better then a Nexus/Pixel in ALL aspects. Google did big mess this time.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] droidstyle:
^Sums it up 100%.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Cristiano Matos:
I was always a pure Android user since my Nexus 4. Had all Pixel devices. Pixel 4 was the first that don’t cause me any will to have it.

I’m using an iPhone XS Max by now and making my way to a 11 pro Max.

Google need to understand that software sometimes can’t make miracles. They need a solid device.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Shaftamle:
After the pixel 3XL and lack of ROMs and developer support I will never buy another Google device again. They are overpriced and there One shining benefit, the camera, the Gap is being closed by other phones every year. why the hell would I want to spend $800 on a Google phone when I could get a OnePlus 7 with 256 gig of space and 8 gigs of RAM and tons of developer support for $100 or more or less. Google has steadily been destroying their line of phones since the pixel line came out. A little bit more each year. Really a shame but I have come to expect nothing less from this company.

Ps- I am in no way knocking developers when I say there's a lack of support for this phone. I completely understand. Why would you want to beat your face against the wall to support this a b slot garbage when you could just develop for a different phone that's more user friendly.

Hello guys I have a new note 10 plus, n975f unlocked.

Latest firmware non rooted. The highest volume during calls is very low.. Same in safe mode and after network and cache reset.

It happened suddenly few days ago I think, as I don't recall this issue in the first days having the device.

How can I test it if it's normal or faulty? Only thing I did not try is factory reset.

Would appriciate any help guys

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] megaman:
Hi all,

I'm just a noob for programming, but I'd like to know if some programers around here could make a script with mortscript for instance, that make the following:

1)When launch, it disables HTC home plug in

2)Then, it launch Igo8

3)When we close igo8, it relaunch HTC home.

It's quite simple, and could make Igo 8 work simply...

Perhaps it's an idiot think, but if it works, I'm sure that a lot of persons around here will appreciate.

Thanks for your comment.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] furb3t:
If you have Htc home plugIn active, you have not only disable to start Igo8, but you must disable htc plugin then reset htc, otherwise Igo8 will not never start. It's not quite simply, dont' you believe ?!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
iGO8 works fine with HTC Home. i'm using it on my polaris for sometime now and it hasn't given me any trouble.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] flaviopac:
Why don't you post your request on Mortscript thread?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TacoLoco:
I was thinking about allmost the same, I have ThrottleLauncher activated and it consumes about 7mb and igo need a lot of ram.. I think with mortscript this is no problem but I don't know how ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] megaman:
@ furb3T:

I have tried and it works for me !

I don't have the weather tab enabled and if I switch off HTC home, IGO work, and if I switch on Htc Home Igo don't work . and this without any soft reset.

So The solution might be : disable weather tab, and have a script that disable HTC home before running IGO, and then Rerun HTC home when closing IGO.

I'll post it in the Mortscript Thread too.

Thanks for your answer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] SantinoInc:
Ok, so I setup fingerprint (wow, it's significantly worse than my LG G8) so I wanted to use an alternate to unlock my phone. I set up face recognition which completed way faster than I thought. Now, for the life of me I can't figure out how to use it as the method to unlock my phone when the screen is off. I feel like I checked off all the right boxes but I still can't get it to work. Can someone please point me in the right direction here?

I mean, a more recent and most powerful device yet comparing to s10 lineup, below are the drawbacks:

1. No Android 10 beta update yet.

2. Some games like Asphalt 9 is capped to 30 fps while s10 has 60 fps, samsung has to push gameloft and for CSR2 game, the graphics is very poor.

3. No 1440p YouTube support even after changing resolution to 1440p

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Akram.:
Researched what? That a better and expensive phone would have abandoned support for some Apps/Games? The hardware is there, but ignored for some reason. I am not complaining, just saying, and it pisses me when an inferior device runs the same Apps/ Games better.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Venom0642:
AT&T Note10 Plus 1440p, 1080p all works here with no issues at all so you must have weak signal in the area or you just don't have your YouTube resolution set right, now about Beta , S Series are always first been like this for years, Eventually the Note10 Plus will also get the Android 10 Beta, And me personally don't care for Beta Since it's gonna have lots of Bugs, So for the meantime i am in no hurry for Android 10, If the phone aint broken then just enjoy what you have now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] -Ric-:
1. The S series are not only more popular but have been out longer. Of course Samsung will want their beta to be tested by the larger member pool.

2. Nothing to do with Samsung. Complain to the game developers.

3. 1440p YouTube works normally.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] gottahavit:
1) Note 10 is targeted at professionals and power users. Businesses and people who rely on their phones for work don't want to run unstable beta OS. I don't even want the note 10 to be the first to update to the release version of android 10. Give it a couple months. What's in android 10 you're so hot for anyway? Let me guess... Nothing, you just want it.

2) 1440 Youtube works fine. Your ISP is probably throttling your data, go yell at them.

3) The phone MFR has nothing to do with your game running higher FPS(as long as screen supports), go yell at the developer.

My Pixel XL USB preferences is stuck on charge and my USB C to C stopped working and I can only charge using a USB A to C charger & cord. When I hook it up to my PC, it's stuck on charge and no way I can change that, so I can't transfer pictures or update phone. Has anyone experienced this or have an idea how to fix this. Any help is appreciated.

USB A>C works correctly, but I've tried several factory C>C chargers and none of them work... I think it's a software bug.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] fiverings:
I think you are right about this issue. Somehow my USB preferences stopped working. It's like the software that controls our issues got wiped. I looked online and it seems quite a lot of people has same issues. But not one has a fix. Mine is stuck on charge only, when plugged into PC, it will only charge. When I plug in my Nexus 6 into PC, the USB preferences works correctly. So I'm still stuck, even plugging in a USB Otg device into pixel XL, that doesn't work either. If you come across a fix, please let me know. Thanks
