That bug, where the black cutout is larger and misaligned, has been reported before. Have you tampered with the cutout setting in developer options? if so set it to default and reboot, that will fix it.

As far as I remember some people had luck opening and closing the selfie camera a few times (so the black cutout will expand and shrink, hopefully back to default).
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] motes:
Yea! I just fixed a few seconds away! Thank you! It's a pity we can't adjust de status bar thickness [emoji17][emoji17]
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] hadeees:
I'm pretty sure this was all because of 2020.

They probably didn't want to make a more expensive phone this year.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Davey Dual Sim:
I sold my S20 FE , hated it, really heavy, poor battery life and I've just got fed up with all the Samsung bloat, wanted a smaller lighter phone with a cleaner Google experience and harking back to the good old days of batterys lasting a day.

Important for me as I hammer phones on the Google platform through work.

And along came the Pixel 5, perfect. Almost, a few niggles, not much to hate

---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ----------

I work on Google all day, including 30gig photos and heavy Google sheets , you don't need all that power, this Pixel 5 is fine and you can tell the speed difference yes but in the real world it doesn't slow your work down, which is what matters . If a you want is the latest tech that comes with awful battery life, and heavier and heavier phones then Samsung is for you.

I work 10 hours a day on heavy files and the Pixel 5 burns it all up.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] arsenal74:
No hate but maybe a few grumbles.

128gb is only just enough storage, would like a 256gb option personally.

The camera hardware is IMO showing it's age now

Auto brightness always seems to go dimmer than I'd like

Wireless charging is very slow with most of my chargers.

Lastly it does all feel a little unremarkable.....
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] glhelinski:
128gb is weak especially if you do twrp backups and try out different roms
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxys:
It's one of the better Pixel's, but not a show stopper....
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
The only phone that really beats this is the iPhone 12 Pro. From what I've seen anyway. But that will cost you a grand and on black Friday this will cost you 400. That's quite a difference and that is the show stopper. But I do agree the specs are not spectacular. Also agree it's the best pixel so far. The battery life kept me from returning it. Haven't had to plug in once during the day although once I got it down to 30 something percent.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dnalevelc:
I made the mistake and traded in my Pixel 4 XL for the S20 FE when I joined Verizon. Got a helluva trade in deal, but the FE was not worth it, it's now my backup phone. Got my Pixel almost a week ago and to me, it's twice the phone. The only complaint I have about it is I wish the screen was a bit brighter.

I know this is a hate thread, but I had to comment when you said people are going to say the FE is a better deal.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] lilhaiti:
Really the only thing I can hate on with the Pixel 5 after using it for 2 weeks is the vibration motor...it sounds cheap. Other than that I have loved this phone, the battery is unreal, the screen is good, the camera is great, the processor gets the job done, the loudspeaker is a phone loudspeaker. I carry my phone in my pocket, and the size and weight have been a welcome change from the larger slabs I've had. Every phone deserves a hate thread, but I can't find much to hate on....argh... I just got a text and that vibration sounds horrible...lol.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Davey Dual Sim:
Same, I disliked the S20 FE, it weighs a tonne, battery is poor and the Samsung bloat is horrid
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dnalevelc:
On paper the FE is a superior phone all around. In practice Samsung dropped the ball so hard. I just reset mine and have been setting it back up to see if that helps, but i doubt it.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Davey Dual Sim:
It's a good phone but I love the return to a phone that is smaller, lighter and battery lasts a day. Plus my company are all Googled up and the Samsung bloat is annoying. Some of the Samsung skin is good though, like the scrolling screenshot and gestures.

The FE was close to being a great phone, just weighs too much and battery just not good enough
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Thats all great and everything but I wouldn't be able to stand the tiny screen and the 128gb of on board storage is not acceptable. I have no issues with my 7hrs plus of SOT i routinely get on my Note 20 Ultra.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Davey Dual Sim:
You get used to the Pixels screen very quickly and it's perfect balance of weight and size

I've used Samsung's for years , great phones, I've just got fed up of the weight , bulk and poor batterys
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dnalevelc:
I get amazing screen on time with the pixel 5. A lot better than the FE. I love the iPhone XS and 11 Pro form factor and the Pixel 5 is pretty much spot on with those dimensions. I have a screenshot I took that shows 39% battery left with 5 hours and 42 minutes SOT and I've attached it. If I would have gone the distance I would have probably hit 7 hours or just a bit less. There are definitely better phones than the Pixel 5, but for it's size, it's battery size, and the cpu it's amazing. Right now, the only phone I would consider getting over it is the iPhone 12 Pro.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] cindylike24:
No hate here! I traded in my Samsung Galaxy S20 5G to get this Google Pixel 5 and haven't regretted it at all. I love the fact that the upgrades come quicker with the Pixel 5. The Pixel phones just seem to fit my style in the way I use it better than the Samsung phone did. Also, I couldn't see paying over $40/month for a phone that I really wasn't happy with. The Pixel 5 is less than $30/month and I'm much happier with this one.

I noticed the radio is weak on my p5 really bad reception compared to my one plus 7 pro or even my old moto g⁴ idk I might even return it, super bummed out because I really do like it otherwise.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mistermojorizin:
Sorry to hear that. Are you using a 5g sim? I've read about one person that had same issue and activating a new 5g sim fixed it.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] niko1plus:
I don't think it's the sim, if I step out side I get service it's in the house where it drops out. My other devices do not have this problem, leading me to conclude it's a hardware issue.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hellshell:
I mean I only had this phone for a few hours and now and already in love with it, flashed custom rom and kernel. Obviously the camera is lacking a bit, but the smoothness is just too good...
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] SergioA:
Hi MrBelter,

glad to hear your experience, I'm using a OnePlus 7T and just ordered a Pixel 5, was a bit worried about my choice but your words give me hope :)

How about call quality via the under display speaker?

Ciao from Italy

Sergio
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dnalevelc:
Call Quality for me has been wonderful. It isn't the best for audio when watching youtube, but it's not the worst.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] maverick1103:
Amen, exactly what I'm loving right now after coming from the S20 Ultra and Note 20 Ultra.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Floge999:
After getting a P5 with a gap and a battery buck (no replacement offered) i just got myself a OP7T Pro, really enjoy it so far and spend $200 less.

The P5 under display speaker is ****. Call quality is fine but any stereo listening is just annyoing because it is unbalanced. With the smaller screen and weaker SoC the P5 isn't amazing for media consumption or gaming anyway so the weak speaker didn't bother me too much.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] explosivequack:
I've had this phone for about 2 weeks and here's what I got for ya.

The fingerprint scanner is garbo, like I have to use my pattern 80% of the time bad until I enrolled 2 fingerprints, now it's maybe 60% but I think that's pretty generous. Coming from an op7p the inscreen fp was waay more accurate, might be a hardware fault on my phone but I feel like there's no point in using it most of the time.

Another thing is doing anything with a file manager takes ages, I think this is where sd765 shows its true colors because I can't remember having a phone that was this slow.

Frame drops are fairly common when scrolling or switching apps, and battery life is about the same as my op7p.

Lastly transferring from the onboard storage to the pc is unuseable, but I haven't tried since I updated ex. moving a folder that's larger then 3gb with quite a few files took over an hour to "calculate time to move" before I gave up.

Overall I give the phone a 5/10 but I feel like maybe I'm being a bit nice. I do like the size and the screen is great, im a big fan of the sage color. I like stock android, and the camera is far better than the op, I just feel there's a ton of shortcomings. Maybe I got a particularly bad example though?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Floge999:
The fingerprint scanner on mine was the fastest i have every used, worked great everytime (still sad that google can't be bothered to do face unlock with the cam only).

I'd probably rate it slightly higher (1 great camera 10/10 but missing ultra wide, tele and macro drag it down to ~8/10 for me) and the rest of the phone is probably a 5/10 not great not terrible. So i'd say a rather expensive 7/10 phone. The only reason to get it is if you really want a small phone or if you are taking most of your pictures in the dark.

I don't understand why would Google not allow VOLTE to work internationally.. I'm trying everything to make it work. Root and all but nothing is working for me, it sucks that i have to try this hard. This should be a default feature

[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
Does nothing for me since I have a Note 9 which could easily run Android 11 but will not get the update. I cannot wait to sell this Sammy phone as soon as my P5 comes.

[/QUOTE]

Anything without a SD card slot I hate. Doesn't have even half the storage I need.

So I loathe it...

As for frequent updates, for what?

If I have a fast, stable platform I leave it be.

Security is rarely an issue on Androids unless you do something stupid, then compound it by not spotting it right away and taking action.

My 10+ will live happily on Pie it's whole life most likely. Both 10 and 11 have more drawbacks than bennies and would slow the 10+ down, trash useful apks I use daily and force me to optimized it all over again without some of my favorite tools.

So I loathe P5 and it's little Q too🤣

Hope I didn't Glass this thread with my blasphemy 🙄

The LG V60
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bobthahog:
I just purchased my very first pixel and it is a Pixel 5. I like it. wish it did have a better processor but other than that it runs smooth but I also own a Samsung Galaxy note 20 Ultra that I'm trading in for the Galaxy s21 ultra and I saw someone comment on the horrible one UI that Samsung has and The majority of the people really like one UI skin. I do and I like Pixel. I also have a OnePlus 7 pro. Three different types of skins and I like them all because they each have their own specific features. I seriously think the s21 ultra is going to be the phone to beat this year. But figured I'd try a pixel out and I wanted the 90 hertz screen that's why I didn't go with the Pixel 4A 5G. Still thinking about rooting. I have my OnePlus 7 pro rooted and love it because the battery lasts forever when you can have a custom kernel and that's the main reason I'm thinking about rooting this phone is to get a kernel on it so I can underclock it when I need to. But it seems like a lot too root this phone compared to the OnePlus phone. Anyway I know this is a hate column for the Pixel 5 but I don't hate it. Like I said wish it had the Snapdragon 865 and maybe a 6.3-in screen but other than that I like the phone. The only OS I dislike is Apple and that's only because it's not customizable enough for my liking.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] blake .l:
Just out of curiosity, why is it dangerous?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ducter:
That's pretty odd, I feel like mine unlocks as my finger is in route to reader, it's that quick. Coming from a OnePlus 6t, no comparison, the pixel slaughters it.

I haven't transferred huge files back and forth but have extracted the factory boot image and transferred the stock rom over, that's close to 2gb I'd guess, not quick, not really slow just about what I'd expect honestly.

Everything else has been great so no real comments on the rest either. Hopefully yours picks up or something because what you're experiencing is not at all mine and shouldn't be yours.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] alphasports:
Just got my 5, still have the 3 that I'm supposed to send back as trade-in, also have my OP7T. Love the 5's form factor (same as 3), love the cams. Will see if it's a keeper but the 3 is getting a bit tired and the OP is too big as a daily driver (though Oxygen OS really is the best version of Android)
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] WaxysDargle:
Its mmwave that's likely dangerous, not sub-6. Highly energetic mm waves like that are similar to a microwave oven. Its more about the amount of radiation than the specific frequency. Luckily, this technology is total nonsense on a large scale and will never see the light of day.

Edit: my only issue with sub-6 5g is the beamforming. This allows acute location tracking.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
It simply doesn't have enough wattage to be dangerous.

Military radar can be in the kilo to megawatt range. Microwave ovens are outputting at 750 watts or more, but in a confined, shielded space.

It's also not ionizing radiation; it heats tissue if there's enough power.

People are still claiming 60hz is dangerous based on one completely flawed and debunked study. Nicola Tesla had more EMF exposure than most people ever will... maybe it raises your IQ🤣
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] WaxysDargle:
This is merely conjecture...

Any energetic wave can cause issues if you're close enough to the source for long enough. It needn't fry you in minutes to cause physiological disruption.

LTE towers will cause cancer if you're too close to them for too long. Tower technicians know this. Mmwave is higher frequency, meaning even more energy packed into any given wavelength.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
Get a grip.

The evident isn't there.

"Any level isn't safe" applies to ionizing radiation and even that's not true.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] WaxysDargle:
if you say so. you haven't verifiably refuted much of anything. conjecture is conjecture.

you are free to live next door to one of the mmwave transmitters. hopefully you don't bring your children there.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
It's power density that counts, wattage per square foot. Not milliwatts, watts.

By law anything outside of the antenna perimeter fence has to be at a safe power level.

I'm from the cold war era. Military radar klystrons that could be heard on audio equipment blocks away🤣

Looking forward to the Asus Zenfone 8. The camera won't be quite as good, but it is the phone that the PIxel 5 should have been, particularly since the Pixel 6 looks like it might be a bit larger.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] pojr:
The only hate I have for the Pixel 5 is the confusion with the naming. These phones came out at the same time:

Pixel 4a 5G

Pixel 5

Why call it the Pixel 4a 5G? Why not just the Pixel 5a? It might confuse people into buying the regular Pixel 4a, which is a different phone. Google what were you thinking.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] zimral.xda:
Ha, just "walked" around this morning and saw some leaks of the new Pixel6. Uaaaahhh, what a large phablet, even the "small" version. I love the Pixel5 (my wife has one) and i am still using a Pixel2 and a Pixel3 and i will use them for at least another 1 or 2 years and then buy a used Pixel5. but the #6 is really terrible and completely out of scope now! I will not use any phone which is larger than a Pixel 2/3/5 !!!

The Zenfone8 (Basic Version) looks fine for me and the specs are cool either (screen size/dimensions, IP68, Audio Jack ,battery capacity) but i have a problem with ASUS in general. Their consumer laptops are really worse. I am wondering how a company which sold crap like this is able to produce a phone in good quality.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] zimral.xda:
Normally the "a" model comes half a year after the 2, 3, 4, one. Or in other words, the complete schedule does not fit, a "5a" has to be released this spring. In this case guggle wants to highlight that the (new) 4a has 5G now and put it into the 4a (performance) class. The 5 has other specs (IP68) and a more powerful processor. So i have no problem with that numbering scheme :) The G-store home page shows all details very accurate as a table.

Hello everyone!

I have a ulefone armor x5 pro (MT6762). I tried to install twrp without success, as the port available in the forum is for the MT6763 chip variant. Before further experimenting (my phone entered in a bootlop that i resolved reflashing recovery.img), After that experience, I decided to make a backup of my own stock rom as the available on the ulefone official site seems not to be the right one (armor X5 not pro). Using SP_Flashtools, I tried to do a full reading of my device, and the power supply was cut off in the process. At this point, the device was dead. Then I was able to flash the rom provided by the manufacturer. The process was completed successfully. However, the phone did not turn on again. I disassembled it to disconnect the battery and sp flashtools recognizes it, but it remains stuck in "downloading DA 100" and does not advance any further. Try reinstalling drivers, changing laptops, different versions of the program, and SP_MDT but the same thing always happens. Downloading DA 100% (red bar at the bottom) and nothing else. At this point I don't know what else to do. My phone does not turn on at all. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Thankyou!

EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED. The problem was the firmware that i tried to download. The manufacturer has many variants of the same device name. Now the phone has back to life.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RodXor:
Hi, I have the Ulefone Armor X5 2020 version (android 10)with the mt6762 mediatek processor ( description of the seller, the ticket on the box and Ulefone description) this is very confuse why the stock rom for this device is for mt6765 and I read mt6765 with sp flash software.

My problem is what this was bricked from factory, its work unstable and rebooting ramdomly.

I try many things like factory reset, wipe the cache, (when wipe the cache the display show E: Fota installation aborted, E:: No such file or diretory) reflash the stock firmware, reflash preloader and recovery separately, but the problem persist.

And one of the first messages i read was system corrupted.

Most welcome.

I have problem. I changed CSC to THL originally. I was happy with it originally. I had call recording, OTA update, VoLTE, but no 5G signal even though it is activated in mobile networks settings. I think because of different frequency band between Thailand and UAE.

Now, I changed to ILO. I am having call recording, VoLTE, and 5G signal but no samsung pay (Israel) and cannot update by OTA. It is telling my software is up-to-date. However, I am still on the August firmware ATHE.

I want call recording, VoLTE, 5G, samsung pay and OTA update. Basically all the services I can get in UAE with extra call recording.

Which CSC should I use now?

Buy 3 credits from reseller on ebay (About £5.99)

Install Samkey

Use the login you get from the ebay seller

Disable all security on your phone so it boots direct to the homescreen, no screen lock

Enable USB debugging in developer options

Connect phone to USB

Enter the CSC you want in the "Change CSC" box

Hit "Change CSC" and wait for the phone to reboot

Done
