[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] gepel:
It boots almost normally after the update but in every each boot when the wallpaper of ui appears the message 'phone is starting' also appears..
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
"Phone is starting" is usually only shown after an update has applied. Your phone is probably thinking that an update is finishing up on every boot for to some unfinished code not applying properly. If the message gets to be too annoying, you're going to want to manually flash the HOME_CSC for the same or most recent update and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't, then flash the CSC as it will factory reset your phone
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] gepel:
Ι managed to fix it with a factory reset..
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] alkxx:
So I dropped my mix 2s. Now I cant record any Videos, photos still work though. Also theres no sound and the microphone is dead. There are also random reboots happening.

Tried resetting and reflashing via fastboot, didnt help.

Can somebody help me with this issue? What could be broken? Hope its not the mainboard.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] spring_roll:
Can't you play audio at all? Not even via Bluetooth headphones?

I recently had a Huawei P30 that had exactly the same problems: photographing worked, videos and everything with audio didn't.... The problem was the mainboard and I think it's the same in your Mix 2S:(
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] genesismarkus420:
i had the same problem too when my kid dropped my phone, but all of a sudden it worked again. was about to order sa charging dock pcb on ali express but thankfully it worked again by a random reason, try charging it with the included charger if it will charge and if it will charge reboot the phone and check your hardware.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] alkxx:
Going to try if Audio via Bluetooth is working.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] alkxx:
It's charging normally, but I haven't tried rebooting while charging. Gonna try that.

Also, I ordered a usb board from Ali, hope it's gonna fix the issue.

Thx for your help so far.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] genesismarkus420:
this problem occured in my device again and im having random reboots. have you solved your problem?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] alkxx:
Not yet, still waiting for the usb board to arrive.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] genesismarkus420:
please update me if changing the usb dock pcb solved the problem. thanks
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] alkxx:
Replacing the usb board did not solve this issue.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] berni502:
:/ did you try to reconnect evry single sh*** in there and reflash device by mi flash or something like that ?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] alkxx:
Yes. But gonna try that again to make sure it's not some bad connection.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] genesismarkus420:

[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
So I notice something funky today

I'm on Nov sec patch

Dark theme on

If I open the dialler the themes is grey

However if I bring brightness to <50%

Lock my screen then unlock it the theme / colour goes almost purple?

I tried taking screenshots but the result is the same grey colour

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nadiros:
Yes, it's the way the screen works at the moment. Its why the 90htz was only used at higher brightness levels, but they tried to please the people complaining about it (Nov patch) and here we are.

So yes it's "normal" behavior for now.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
Thank you

Guess I can deal with it until they come out with a fix
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bwyan Benton:
Will never please everyone. People will always find a reason to b**ch.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:
But this shouldn't happen. The 90hz isn't an excuse. It's a bug. The OnePlus didn't ever have this issue .

I've turned always on display and the issue goes away, but if I get a notification the horrible green returns, I turn the screen off and back on and it goes back to normal ...no tint. It's a really fustrating and rubbish bug
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Neither running Smooth Display Option, nor on Force 90 Hz does this purple tint happen on my XL. Tested in pitch black surrounding.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:
Mines green lol
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Are you running the XL, or the standard 4!?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
Take off force 90hz just leave smooth display on

No aod, or motion sense and no adaptive brightness or ambient eq

Put the brightness down in a dark room, open the dialler, lock the screen the unlock it

I just tried it on 3 pixel 4xls and all had the same thing

You can see the color change back when you put the brightness back up

Sometimes it doesn't stick but changes back pretty quick

At times it gets stuck purple ish
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:
I can even notice it in normal brightness now, and gets worse as it dims. I've got AOD off. Sometimes the green is there other times I turn screen off and on its not, it's not normal

---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

4 xl
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
Hopefully Google can fix it with a patch

I guess that's why they disabled 90hz under 75% brightness originally
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
I know how to do it, and as I stated, I can't seem to replicate it on my 4XL. Brightness was at 15% when I tried it yesterday evening after sundown and in absolute darkness of my bedroom. Didn't test it prior to November Patch, so I can't tell if I had it previously.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:
Maybe but I don't believe it's hardware limitations or the OnePlus would be the same or the green tint would be there all the time. Debating wether to get the 7t pro or try another 4 XL but it's driving me nuts. Why Google why lok
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
Definitely software

Calibration curve is Off At lower brightness

Ievery pixel 4xl I have seen (so far 6) have the same thing going on
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:
Software or not it's doing my head in and noticeable most of the time. Might try another unit just in case
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
Yeah definitely!

Sometimes I notice it switches back to normal but most of the time it doesn't

I walked. into my local phone Shop and they had about 3 on display and It was persistent on all of them

I even showed the store assistant he was just as baffled as me haha
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:
Why do Google have to mess up something. It bothers me enough to not have one ???
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zetsumeikuro:
It's probably not going to be fixed until next month by the earliest. So either you have to put up with it or return it and get a different device. Sounds like returning it will be your best route cuase it seems to bothering you to the point where it's starting to cause stress/distress in your life and nothing is worth that honestly.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:
Ive ordered the OnePlus 7t to see how I get on..got from Amazon so easy returns. Although some of it I think it software, I don't think the quality panels of these are that great overall . I will get a pixel replacement too
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zetsumeikuro:
Good luck! I'm tired of the exchange game for oleds, it's very tiring. Did it with the Pixel 2 and now the galaxy tab 6 and did it once for this device for the purple hue and I just want to stop now. All the back and forth with Google support just saps the life right out of my body. Then having to pack everything up and set it all up put another screen protector. I still have a tab s6 with uniformity issues that doesn't show up in normal usage so I just gave up lol.. Years ago I would of kept going until I got perfection/near perfection with the chance of possibly having Amazon blacklist my account from all the returns/exchanges.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:
You see I'm the same. But I don't expect perfection now. My tab s6 is the same and seems to be common but it's only noticeable on Grey's in low brightness, that I can live with but the pixel always looks green/purple etc, I can't deal with that lol. The OnePlus 7 pro was a lovely screen with no noticeable issues. It does seem the pixel panels does seem of lower quality
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:
7t is a no go too. Guess I'm going back to the 7t pro
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zetsumeikuro:
How bad is the uniformity on your tab s6 on greys? Like on mine on darker greys if I'm below 30-40% brightness you can see a fairly big section on the right that's darker than the rest. Then also there's some uniformity issues on black you notice it when you switch on night mode and you can test it with the dialer app. I haven't noticed any problems with media consumption in normal light and sometimes it's noticable in super dark scenes if I watch in compelte darkness.

Dang that sucks man. Maybe you got a good panel on the pro and most have some issue? That or Samsung gave them the center cuts from the wafer which means better panel quality and uniformity.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:
Mines similar on Grey's , it's like a bit patchy with some banding. I only really notice it at night when the brightness is lower and dark mode is on.

Tbh I think the pro does just have a better quality panel. The 7t already has a thread on xda about the screen tints but I haven't come across any for the pro the whole time I owned one, not saying everyone has perfect panels on the pro but it doesn't seem to be an issue .
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zetsumeikuro:
How does it look on the dailer and contacts while in night mode? If your panel has some uniformity issues for black it will show there. Hopefully in the near future they start using QLED displays and replace old or improve the manufacturing process so it's uniform through the entire wafer when making displays.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:
I would say qled is a step backwards, it's still just LED.

It seems to look fine on contacts or dialler, as it's pure black it should be perfect, it's only Grey's that I really notice it
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zetsumeikuro:
True it is LED but I've seen comparisions between QLED TVs and OLED TVs and they are quite om comparable and without the uniformity drama. Sure, there can be dead pixels but those can sometimes get revived or are just stuck and will become unstuck over time. Take a look at the dialer and contacts and you'd be surprised. I've had two units (still have the second one) https://imgur.com/a/RBSKKzB . First one was purple on the dialer and the second is black but well you can see there. Turn on night mode and in an area that's a bit darker you'll be able to see there and on the bixby home.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:
Owch. Mine isn't that bad but similar thing. It must not be a pure black.

I've got a Samsung qled TV and and love it but oled tvs are another level, the contrast, Black's etc are amazing. You have to remember also oled is crazy thing with 1 layer. Whereas led has a few layers so oleds help keep phones and TVs thinner etc. I do think they have improved every year for whites and uniformity.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zetsumeikuro:
Yeah, I know there's multiple layers for the LCDs etc but they are also getting thinner and thinner. Hopefully OLED can keep improving and we won't have to deal with this lotto bull****. When you go into dark mode and go into the settings/dialer app is it pure black for you or does it have some artifacting line the ones I showed you in the image?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:
I will check when I'm in bed next ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zetsumeikuro:
Appreciate it man and look forward to the update. I'm still on the wall about trying the lotto again. I can return it to Amazon until 1/2020 and from the most I've seen they have had pretty bad to moderate unifority issues. I know BF is coming up and I could try to nab one there for a better price since I got $50 off this time. Saw one earlier on Ebay for $599 for the 256 gray BNIB but didn't want to deal with a private seller just in case there were more uniformity issues.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:
Mines similar in a dark room in low brightness. Worse with night light on. It seems likely that there all like this to an extent. Not sure why, oled has always had issues in lower brightness. I personally still love the display 90 percent of the time so I haven't thought about swapping it. Because the whites are uniform etc, it would annoy me a lot more if the whites were iffy.

But I always tell myself oleds will never be perfect but if the problem is noticeable and stresses me out or makes the device not enjoyable to use then I will get a replacement. But if I still enjoy the device and don't think about and it's only something that crops up in certain conditions I keep it.

I think sometimes once you get in that cycle the second you turn on a device your staring at the screen to try and find anything that isn't 100 percent perfect
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zetsumeikuro:
Yeah, the display is still pretty solid for me but it sucks when you're reading and the backgrounds are the colors that really highlights the uniformity issues and makes them quite glaring. I use nightmode when I'm in bed reading and some of the pages are that right shade of gray and really brings out the uniformity issue on the right side of the display. I can live with it but I can still return until Jan. Also, if I do see a good deal on BF I will definitely take advantage of it and return and get another one maybe a different color and see if that helps. Since I noticed the mountain gray went on sale so quickly after release. It was $450 or so for a brand new from best buy for the 256 GB model. So perhaps they had a bad batch of gray where they put all the panels from the outer parts of the wafer they cut. Probably wanted to unload them and hope that people don't notice.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Reuben_skelz92:
Yeah it's possible. When did you get yours ? I ordered mine day it was released lol
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zetsumeikuro:
I got mine some time in October after the $450 Best Buy sale happened.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Daboxk:
Have the Pixel 4 XL and here are conditions that this issue has been occuring for me:

1. Occured both pre and post November security patch.

2. Smooth display enabled

3. Ambient EQ enabled or disabled (enabled is my default)

4. Adaptive brightness enabled or disabled (disabled is my default)

5. Screen attention enabled or disabled (enabled is my default)

4. Always on display disabled

5. Tap to check phone enabled

6. Force 90 hertz disabled.

7. Screen timeouts set to 15, 30, 1 minute all the same (didn't test longer times)

8. Low brightness <15% but if put all the way down easiest to see.

9. Face unlock enabled (both lockscreen and skip lockscreen, but I keep at skip by default)

1) My phone will run "normally" at that 90 hertz with the greenish tint when 90 hertz should be runnig, but i notice that it'll switch to the purple/magenta 60 hertz tint most often when I unlock after the screen times out or goes idle. So 90 hertz tint > screen timeout or idle > then when I tap my phone to unlock it immediately (or few seconds later) after timeout, it goes to 60 hertz tint. It will stay on the 60 hertz tint indefinitely while my screen is on and even persists with the screen timing out/re unlocking again. For the most part, the only reliable way to make it go away and function normally again is to manually press the power button to turn off screen, then unlock it. If I try unlocking without first pressing the power button, the 60 hertz tint remains. (Sidenote, sometimes the screen times out before the screen timeout duration)

2) The 60 hertz tint also occurs even before the screen fully times out. This is harder to replicate on command but it happens every time the screen starts to idle/dim. Since it even occurs when adaptive brightness and Ambient EQ are off, I think it it's happening because of the conditions for smooth display. Often before the screen fully times out it will dim for a sec, which is when the 60 hertz tint kick in. I think it's the smooth display protocol trying to trigger 60 hertz when the screen is at a more idle state,. i.e., when I'm reading something on device and I haven't touched the screen for a few seconds, but not long enough to trigger the screen timeout (between 0 ≤15 seconds).

I'm hoping this is something that can be fixed via a future software update. I understand that there may be some non fixable hardware calibration issues with the displays on the Pixel 4 XL but the scenarios above seemed like they could be solved by Google further tweeking the conditions for smooth display, e.g., how aggressive it is with determining what's "idle" for purposes of switching to 60 hertz. And more importantly, fix it so that the shutting of the display from a screen timeout functions identically to that of a power button manual press, at least with relation to the screen refresh rate (since power button screen shut off seems to reset refresh rate and allow it to properly wake in the right refresh rate).

All of this should be published on every news outlet yet it never is. Alas, this is why we keep on getting crappy displays.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Waibashi:
Since the latest update. I've got the green tints on Grays bug. As I was reading another thread. I don't think this is a hardware issue but software. I can slide the brightness slider and it will trigger at 20% ish.

Here is a test I've done and was able to reproduce and would like everyone to try it while playing with brightness adjustment. Use the following screenshot to try to reproduce the behaviors I'm experiencing. I know I can't take a screenshot of a hardware issue...

First picture is RE2 cover from Video Game Awards. As you go down in brightness you will notice a huge color shifting and even inverting

https://imgur.com/NLz5tGt.jpg

Second is the gray from dark mode on Google Photo

https://imgur.com/vpA1v4B.jpg

Third is Baconreader dark mode. You will notice one bar much greener.

https://imgur.com/Vnjf2Do.jpg

It baffles me that Google still hasn't acknowledged this software issue. Unless it's hardware...no one knows! But I didn't have this issue on October update.

EDIT1: After more testing, I rebooted my phone, but the phone low brightness at 20% opened Baconreader in dark theme (or Google Photo) the screen would flicker between the normal and green tint. It would be fine and then as soon as I touch the screen, the grays and pictures would become green-tinted. Also, I noticed the flickering matches the switch between LTE and LTE+. I fixed my green tint when I removed Smooth Display... this seems to be a software bug but at the same time... I don't know

Green tint (sepia / green fog effect) Google Pixel 4XL

I have a problem with a green tint (sepia / green fog), this defect is especially noticeable in poorly lit rooms, if the screen brightness is 11% or slightly higher (when the slider is in the blind above the first button), this is clearly visible when using 90 Hz.

This effect was also found on the screens of the Samsung Galaxy S20 and One Plus 7 Pro and 8 Pro with a frequency of 90 Hz and 120 Hz, but there this problem was solved with firmware updates.

Can install Kernels (“CleanSlate”), which allow you to adjust the color balance of the display, can probably fix green a little, but this is a bad solution to the problem, because for this you need to unlock the bootloader and does not solve the problem completely.

I am sure that Google could fix this defect by making the color temperature somewhat colder (higher).

Attached a comparison on the same brightness of the Pixel 3a vs Pixel 4 XL

Hi so, i recently bought a Second hand Xperia 10, what the person did not tell me was that it was carrier locked, its to Vodafone, the person is not answering me back, i want to know, is there a way to unlock it ?

This really bummed out but tbf i only paid 160 eurs for it so it wasn't that bad of a deal.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] shunney:
Since buying this phone (oct, 2017), the time to charge was about 1.5-2 hrs. But for last 3-4 days, phone is taking a lot longer to charge fully; while charging, it shows that it needs 3-4 hours to charge in lock screen.

One thing to note is that charging cable is bit wonky, with its end to the side of the charging brick having nearly peeled off plastic to extent that I can see the internal wires (although covered in plastic themselves, I think.)

What could be the problem? and solution? Any help is appreciated.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] fmorgado1987:
Most likely the problem lies with the cable. I have one in similiar conditions to yours and indeed i notice that it takes a little longer to charge than with another cable i have. Try to charge with another cable to see if it charges faster.
