[Motorola Edge Questions & Answers] REKnight:
Mine started out pretty minor, but has been getting progressively worse over the last few weeks. Initially seemed heat related as I only noticed it while using Google Maps in navigation mode. IT would start out as slight dark ghosting of the screen image on the right side of the screen and would progressively creep to the left side. Mostly it's a darkening of the correct image by ghost image of higher up, in particular it's seen as a dark circle where the front camera is. If the part of the image being ghosted is a strong color it will be ghosted in green or purple. As the screen is scrolled the ghosted images move as well. It's since gotten to the point normal usages more then 10-15 mins cause the issue. If I use the camera too long in the heat or sun then the lower part of the screen will go white and the touch digitizer stops working. Attached is a photo taken while the screen was 2/3s white with my company iPhone.

The warranty replacement arrives tomorrow. I just ran the most recent update QPD30.114-23-2 installed claiming fixes for screen issues, but still saw the ghosting after the reboot.

These purple left edge handed streaks, come, and go, even on a white webpage. I'm looking into battery levels, the next time it happens. Has it made a difference where you have the edge controls? Did anyone notice if anything happens on sleep, and screen off/on functions, and the screen state? Temperature?
[Motorola Edge Questions & Answers] SurferNerd6987:
temperature seemed to be a pretty persistent symptom from the Moto support forums. Allowing the device to cool, or be powered off for a bit would stop the purple marks for a bit.
[Motorola Edge Questions & Answers] nalyDoge:
I've had the phone for a little under a day now, I noticed watching videos on it last night that the screen does turn green on it's own when the brightness is below ~5%? but turning it up just a little seems to correct the issue.

Also, is the fingerprint sensor thing really burn-in? I noticed it immediately after powering on the device the first time and just assumed it was lighting under the display reflecting weird because of the sensor there

EDIT: Actually after looking for it again now, it seems to have faded away? I tried various solid colors and can't seem to find one that makes it shine through anymore

The display also just seems to be bad at color reproduction despite it's HDR claims on the product spec sheet. Although, I have colors set to natural(lowest) in Settings->Display->Advanced->Colors, I know I didn't like the highest setting that was the default but I haven't played with it thoroughly to know how I feel about the middle one.

I use NewPipe for YouTube and using it's touch controls for brightness make it really obvious that there's some sort of weird color banding with blues at various stages of brightness. I suspect that's why the display in general has such a warm color temperature, to make blues more muted and make it less obvious that it has issues with them. Like uhhhh on a Hearthstone game board the blue ribbon behind the board has all kinds of banding and over saturation. (I was going to post a link to an example image but my account is still new and I can't post links or images)
[Motorola Edge Questions & Answers] Ace42:
Green tint here. Mostly noticeable when using dark themes. Phone was manufactured in July.

As the above user mentioned, low brightness seems to be the trigger. Around 30% it looks normal. I don't know what to say.
[Motorola Edge Questions & Answers] niko_3100:
Hey! quick question: where do I have to see to check the manufactured date? I am planning to buy one in Argentina in our Latam ebay, MercadoLibre offers 30days money back, I am assuming if this green tint does not appear in 30 days is because I have a good unit, right?
[Motorola Edge Questions & Answers] Ace42:
Right on the box. After 30 days it's probably good. Mine changed very quickly to green. I didn't get any purple marks yet.

Found something. Turn off the game tuning feature(disable app) . After a few reboots(not one after another, just regular use reboots). Mines went away. I've already turned off basically all of the edge features. This needs a seriously updated rom.
[Motorola Edge Questions & Answers] reggjoo:
There are other apps that may effectThe edge software, game adjusting app, could be the culprits, and maybe, some areas of the screen, may not be shielded underneath under stress. I had turned the game feature on, it made my game worse (WGT). Was getting splotches, they went away, with disabling that app. Forgot it was off, paid no attention. Recently, tried the app again, they're back! Turned off again, they're gone. Maybe we can get the twrp team, by asking, to work on a safe recovery. Other functions might affect the screen, like ar based apps. I wonder that as I'm typing this a splotch came, and went. I noticed when the splotches came, it was in a range of battery levels, like in the 30's~64% range. I think it's software related, has anyone adjusted their screen paremeter's? Confirmed (by me, so take with a grain of salt) , the battery level is somehow related. Charged it, after splotches showed, they went away.
[Motorola Edge Questions & Answers] reggjoo:
They're back, bad screen parameters, ghost, splotches, etc.. doesn't matter what, refresh rate, brightness, battery level.. Got to get in touch with best buy. Really bad, giving me that "LG" feeling.
[Motorola Edge Questions & Answers] Ace42:
Haha. I bought mine from BB too. They accepted the return and waived the restocking fee. Look into buying a used OP8, they're like 370 on ebay
[Motorola Edge Questions & Answers] reggjoo:
How long ago did you do that? I need info. Sadly, it seemed a good buy. Did they have your purchase on file? Did they credit you back?
[Motorola Edge Questions & Answers] reggjoo:
Aha! They're some kind of electrical effect shadow. Notice how the discoloration starts, and look at the "hole punch". The shadows(discolorations) follow the design of the hole punch. You see less, to hardly any on the right side, no "punch".
[Motorola Edge Questions & Answers] Ace42:
I returned on the 13th day. Compared the Edge with my Samsung on a grey background, and they waived the fee. The purchase is listed on my Best buy account.

Edit: I rebought the phone for $320 after taxes, compared to 435 the first time. At this price it's worth dealing with warranty exchanges. The battery and screen quality are unrivaled at this price. Plus 4G is super slow where I live, really miss having 5G.

Sorry for digging out the old thread, but wanted to share some pictures and hopefully get some solution.

My sister's Edge. Lenovo already sent her phone back twice, saying that everything is fine with her device.

As of now, she's still waiting for O2's update from 5th March. I already advised her on using Rescue and Smart Assistant to install it herself. I don't hold my breath...

[Motorola Edge Questions & Answers] Bote Ghy:
Bought on 11 Feb. 2021, After 3 weeks of use, the following fault appeared: in the area of the volume and power buttons, at about 20 minutes of browsing in Chrome, for example, as in other applications I do not use the phone more than 5 minutes, two gray shadows appear in the shape of two symmetrical triangles with a side of 5-7-8 mm, glued to the edge on the edge area. These spots turn after 30 minutes of use, into a purple-gray spot, 3 cm by 7 mm, with reddish spots along the long side, edge, in the area of the buttons. I keep the phone in a leather case with a flap. I didn't put foil. After the pause and cooling of the phone, everything returns to normal. The print screen does not reveal any change in screen quality, so it is not software. Something heats up and pushes the display. Display test. Apk, when the fault occurs, also reveals the artifact. Otherwise, ok speakers and cameras, less focusing, especially at night. Motorola Note 1. I have a Moto G6. It's okay, I fooled myself with the Edge!
[Motorola Edge Questions & Answers] daktah:
like most people mine always had a faint green tint at low brightness on black or gray backgrounds but otherwise it was perfectly fine. then one night laying in bed I noticed a black splotch forming in the corner, I could watch it spread over the course of minutes and eventually something happened where it would flash full brightness and some colors randomly then the video signal would desynced resulting in ghosting or interlacing. then it would randomly go from no touch screen, to registering inputs all over the place, to normal making it essentially unusable. so I rebooted to twrp, made a backup then offloaded everything from the internal memory overnight.
[Motorola Edge Questions & Answers] reggjoo:
I think these (screens)were rushed into production. I haven’t had any splotching, since before last post. 11’ seemed to have a problem with the display imitating the frame, but something I did cured that(don’t remember, so don’t ask) . Mines seemed to have cured itself, over time(since release date).

Hello, I purchased a HK model Xperia 10 II (to be used in US market) which currently doesn't support Volte. Does anyone know of how to support?
[Sony Xperia 10 II Questions & Answers] psn_jabbab:
As it is not on US firmware it is being software restricted from supporting VoLTE. There is no US firmware and little to no development for this phone. Sony has not announced any plans for a us version or for a US kernel.

I LOVE this phone but the lack of VoLTE became a huge issue when major carriers and shared networks announced they would no longer support phones without this feature. They're also shutting down older frequencies on towers in prep for 5G. If it at least supported Wi-Fi calling that would help but it doesn't.

Hi! May I ask how does regional customization affect the availability of the VoLTE option?

I am using Xperia 10 II (came with HK customization stock firmware) in Japan, and my operator is Rakuten Mobile. I don't have the VoLTE option and it's kind of a huge problem since the operator is a fairly new one and has no GSM/UMTS network, so I can't make or receive any phone calls. Data works fine after adjusting the preferred network type to LTE only.

Can I do the same thing (flashing the SEA customization) to get the VoLTE option? I would like to know what exactly controls whether the option is available if that is ok.
[Sony Xperia 10 II Questions & Answers] Meloferz:
Yes, my phone was from HK also, and after I flashed SEA customization, VoLTE option appeared and I can use VoLTE, now we have a operator here in Paraguay with VoLTE and works as expected
[Sony Xperia 10 II Questions & Answers] ripppani:
Should I flash the whole firmware downloaded with Xperifirm or only some specific files?

Also, could you please explain why SEA customization gives you the VoLTE option? Sorry if that is a dumb question.
[Sony Xperia 10 II Questions & Answers] Meloferz:
Yes, you should flash whole firmware.

Why? I don't know, but what I can tell is that VoLTE toggle appears and works
[Sony Xperia 10 II Questions & Answers] ripppani:
OK, thanks a lot! I will look for more information before flashing to make sure I don't brick it.

So as the title says, need collective experience to make the move, and be preemptive along the way of the possible pitfalls and limitations.

Havent experimented much with my XL 128GB lying circa 2018 when i bought it and it still runs fine. As of now it is :

1. Google model (not any carrier branded unit).

2. Android V 8.0.0

3. Bootloader Unlocked (OEM Unlocking enabled int he Developer Options)

4. Rooted.

5. Custom recovery TWRP 3.2.0.-0 installed.

My primary intended use was to make it my music player with AptX-HD and LDAC enabled via the Developer Options, for my wireless hifi headphones and it has been doing so.

As an semi-audioholic I have Viper4Android and Dolby ATMOS working fine on it, with Sony Walkman App, these were only found to work correctly on 8.0.0 as i did spent a great deal of time to make them work with 8.1.1 back in the day.

So I am looking for the most safest route to upgrade to 10.0.0 with the possibility of knowing if the below would remain applicable.

1. Should I go for OTA update as-is OR Do i need to relock bootloader or Un-root before the OTA update. (Any sequence or specific steps to be followed).

2. Will the OTA update lock the bootloader and will remove the root privileges.

3. Is it possible to unlock the bootloader and re-root the device on v.10.0.0 (any guide link appreciated).

4. Will the OTA overwrite the TWRP recovery, is there any newer/better recovery + kernel available with V.10.0.0 (any guide link appreciated).

5. Will ARISE audio (Viper + Dolby + Sony Music Apps) work on the latest android version.

6. Is all the hassle recommended, if the experience is significantly better on v.10.0.0. Any known issues with the latest android, which I should be aware of.

7. Any alternate way and/or newer/better DSP recommended to work with v.10.0.0 for sound enhancements.

8. Is Magisk framework and module working with v.10.0.0.

Thanks for reading and replying , as it would chalk out a path not only for me but for community at large for someone on a similar quest as mine.

Appreciate your input.

1. Download a pixel factory image from Google(latest is Dec 2019) and flashed it using fastboot( u will find guide on xda or YT)

2 Do not relock botloader if you want to root or install custom rom

3. Dolby Atmos will not work,if you flash Dolby Atmos mod zip in magisk it may cause bootloop .viper fx may work never tried

4. Android 10 is much better in user experience it is smooth

5. You can root your phone using latest magisk in twrp

6. There are some good kernel available for android 10 for pixel like Elemental x 5.6, king kernel v6.1, etc.

7. There is no sound enhancement mod for android 10, viper may work

8. U can't do some system modification like changing boot animation, system sound, font by yourself. If u want customization u can install custom rom though

My english is bad

hope this will help u
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] HyperEscape:
Thanks

Sure just few last questions :

1. Will pixel factory image also overwrite the recovery.

2. Can I install a custom recovery after v10.0.0.

3. Do i install custom recovery first after V10.0.0. or should I root first. Sorry I am outta practice for some time :)

4. Any issues in v10.0.0 which I should be aware of. (Battery Drain, Lags or anything else).

5. Any guide for installing Magisk on V10.0.0

Thanks for your response
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bhaskarjyotisarmah51:
1 Yes pixel factory image will overwrite custom recovery

2. You can install a custom recovery as well as custom rom after 10

3. You don't need custom recovery permanently installed to root your phone. ( Temporary boot into twrp using fastboot and twrp.img and install magisk)

4. If you pixel is old consider a Battery drain as battery life decreases with age
