Red flag. Try a Google search (US in my case) for "pixel 6 display review"

No direct results only glowing reviews.

More Google search shenanigans... Houston we have a problem. Google search deliberately buries search results they don't like or even deletes Utube vids/accounts.

I did find this.

I would wait a few months or more until the dust settles before considering buying this device.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
I'm not sure where you are going with this. Reviews of known/big tech sites are the obvious search results for people trying to find information about "pixel 6 review". When I tried your search, my first 10 search results were

TOP STORIES: Engadget blabla review, PCMAG P6 review, Android Police blabla review,

Then tomsguide, pcmag, techradar, slashgear, androidpolice, androidcentral, cnet reviews.

Then five videos pop up (WIRED, Tech Spurt, IKnowReview, ThisIsTechToday, AndroidCentral), all reviews.

So... I'd call that pretty average. That's exactly what I would be looking for.

This "screen" flicker problem that you are referring to, is fresh news and there are only very few tech sites that are aware of this, it's basis from some Reddit discussion is only a couple hours old. I'd doubt that Google deliberately censores this information, it's more likely that the Google Search algorithm is not yet up to date.

--

I just tried out a specific "Google 6 display problems issues"

And my 2 first search results are:

GSMArena:

Some early Pixel 6 buyers report screen issues - GSMArena ...​

gizmochina​

Early Pixel 6 series owners are reporting a screen flickering ...​

---

So. Again, I'd say the algorithm is not censoring this, it's just not aware that this is important enough to place it at the top of a "review" search.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
I've followed the Fold series for years.

Always glowing reviews* on release but this soon changes as reality checks in.

Same pattern I'm seeing here... not good.

Cost you nothing to wait and see.

*"Both the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro have lovely OLED screens" , Endgadget.com
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
What do you mean with glowing reviews? Do you mean that when you searched for Samsung Fold informations, you received more critical than positive search results? Are you sure that's not because there are alot of people criticizing the phones and/or you specifically are interested in those critical views and because of that the Google search is tainted by your visited websites and gives you what it thinks you want?

If you want to judge Google search, you need a fresh browser without an account logged in and then try to search for something there, never use your own tainted version that is riddled with background stuff that Google knows about yu.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skimminstones:
Bet you believe man never went to the moon too
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
Meh let's see what you got 1 year from now. The reviews are not impartial... and I'm not surprised.

Lol, "the perfect iPhone rival", I agree with that review statement completely. Unfortunately it's suppose to be an Android.

Google, the most trusted name in disinformation.

Sorry, just not feeling it...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Izy:
Lol fold reviews were "glowing"

Literally the first phone was a flop before it got released from reviews and news. so that's some based opinion you have there

The 2nd iteration got great reviews that dropped off due to how bad 1st revision was and 3rd device is also an improvement but old flaws still not fully fixed
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] buschris:
confirmed. Bright as S***T! much more than the OP9 i tried and even the S21 I tried. Stuck it out with my OP7Pro until today
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] buschris:
your settings must be wrong, because my blinds me inside the house on high bright. HBM app also is even brighter
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] oneandroidnut:
Been on Note 20 Ultra since day it came out, if I am in bright sunlight or under lights it never gets hot or excessive battery drain. Also on the burn in front still nothing after over a year of usage
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Izy:
Depends on usage when I bought my note 9 1 year used keyboard and onscreen buttons had burnin replaced screen meanwhile my s2 / s6 / note 9 had no burnin from my daily usage 2-3 years each.

Comes down to usage and UI not screen brightness although that can speed it up.

Basically just avoid white themes and your fine
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
Best to keep it under 50%.

Using for more than a few seconds in direct sunlight is not a good plan.

Bright themes aren't the best for the display and battery life. The blue pixels die first, red generally last, base theme colors accordingly, use minimal icon packs. Rotate widgets.

Use folders to minimize icons, use apps like One Handed Operation plus, Egde and DigiClock to hide multiple switches/launchers in plain sight.

There are over a dozen hidden switches on this homepage.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
so does the P6P actually correctly go into high brightness mode when viewing HDR content? doesnt seem like it does here. tried viewing my usual HDR test movies via plex and mxplayer on my P6P, doesn't seem very bright. thinking of rooting with this in mind so i can use the root app to specifically activate it for movies.
[Motorola Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] bronkish:
I wasn't interested, really. Phone runs fine. But, I came across some stuff, was reading, decided to try ktweak. I'm running Lineage 17.1 on my edge. Seems to be no problem and if I noticed anything at all thus far it's maybe a bit more battery life. I wouldn't swear to it, though, hasn't really been long enough. Also, it could be that SD Maid was faster when listing all the phone's apps in the appcontrol section, which is something I would care about. The edge was already pretty fast in that the apps listed in about 2.3 seconds. Seems to be just under 2 now. Could be wishful thinking, I dunno.

THere's lots to do if you get into tweaking your kernel - that's a big rabbit hole, and I'm just not that geek anymore. Ktweak is just a script, it just runs that one time to make its changes. It won't survive a reboot, but, there's an apk for an interface that lets you toggle to run at every boot.

THere's already a ton of info about it so I won't throw my ignorance in. Just wondering if anyone else decided to make a few kernel changes, or, is maybe using this script. You can see the tweaks here.
[Motorola Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] bronkish:
I noticed an error since utilizing this script. Coincidence or not, I dunno. 3C all-in-one has a cache feature for the 'drives' on your phone. You can increase it following a quick test. I have done it in the past on this phone and ROM, without ill effect. I had a 'download' error yesterday in Firefox and in Aurora. I didn't a few days ago, so I reset the cache option to default in 3C, rebooted, and the download error was gone.

I set the cache option in 3C after I ran this script.

It's all anecdotal to this point, but maybe the 3C cache setting doesn't play well with the default hacks this script performs. I didn't even look, I don't even care - it's just a thing I noticed and currently all is well.

Since utilizing the kernel mods set by this script I haven't really noticed anything different in real-world usage in the phone, other than mentioned. It has always been responsive, fast, it runs really well with Lineage, it ran well with stock, too. I'm not performing experiments or anything remotely similar, I am just using the phone as normal.

What is interesting is that I got almost 4 days out of my last charge. That is definitely an improvement. It's not that big a deal, really. The phone gets 2 days anyway and I have a routine that alleviates battery/charge concerns.

4 days, 6 hours+. That's something.

[Huawei Developers] Jack Wu Shenzhen:
Keyring is an all-new security kit in HMS Core that is used to store user credentials on their devices, where the credentials can be shared between different apps and versions of an app, creating a seamless sign-in experience between your Android apps, quick apps, and web apps.

Keyring provides you with capabilities that make user credential management a sheer breeze, helping ensure your service continuity, by obtaining, encrypting, storing, authorizing, sharing, querying, accessing, and deleting such credentials, as needed. Keyring also provides your apps with APIs for storing, accessing, and querying user credentials, for effortless credential sharing between multiple apps. It enables the user to sign in to an app by using the credentials from another already signed-in app, for seamless cross-app sign-in.

In addition, Keyring also obtains the user credential sharing relationship between apps, to ensure that you can freely share the user credentials to different platform versions of your app, for example, Android app, quick app, and web app versions, making cross-platform sign-in a viable reality. Thanks to this capability, you'll be able to handle users from different platforms with remarkable ease.

Keyring offers airtight security, easy integration, and broad compatibility. It encrypts user credentials in the TEE, and securely stores the encrypted credentials on the user device itself. You can even define the credential sharing relationship between different apps and different platform versions of an app, so that only authorized apps are able to obtain a set of credentials. You can also enable the mechanism for users to verify their identities via biometric features before they can use the shared credentials, to bolster sign-in security. The industry-leading security capabilities in Keyring can be integrated in just 2 person-days, making it an efficient and cost-effective solution. Better yet, the service is designed to meet the security requirements of a vast range of apps, including shopping, travel, social media, reading, and many other service scenarios.

Keyring resolves longstanding issues related to inefficient credential management and credential security risks. The cross-app credential sharing function in Keyring can entice users to use your apps, and the cross-platform sign-in function streamlines the user conversion path and sign-in process. In the future, Keyring will provide an even greater range of features and HMS Core will open even more capabilities in the security field, to help you craft the best possible user experience.

Today i was looking at the history of fox kids and i had a flashback of this series that i used to watch but i couldn't quite remember the name.

It involved racing (or at least relatively fast moving) mechas. I think it ran in the 5:30 to 6:00 am time slot on saturdays on fox (this is central standard time). It probably ran sometime between..... 1998 and 2004 (or at any point between those times)

thanks for any info you may have.
[Fire HD 6 and 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alicyl:
Hi,

I'm still trying to figure out how to unlock my HD Fire 6's bootloader to install TWRP in it then remove all that is Amazon to turn it into an Android tablet; unfortunately, the thread that instructed us on how to unlock the bootloaders of HD Fire 6 and 7s had its guide erased then the thread itself locked, and every other guide I find online for HD Fire 6 and 7s directs me to that thread.

Does anyone know or remember the step-by-step process for unlocking a HD Fire 6s bootloader? I can figure out the TWRP, rooting, and conversion to Android parts, but I don't know how to do the bootloader part since HD Fires aren't originally Android tablets.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me (and potentially others wondering the same thing). ♡
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] y0va:
Hi guys,

I'd like to install user apps from recovery. While it works fine to put them in a folder under /system/app, it does not work to put them under /data/app. If apks are installed from user space, the filenames created in thios folder have some random, probably somehow encrypted endings.

Is it possible to install user apps from recovery in recent android version?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
I would use the adb shell pm install commands

[Google Pixel 5a] xda6969:
I notice in All Apps, there are two Files apps. One is just Files. The other is Files by Google. The Files app doesn't show "Open", "Disable" or "Force stop" options. It's using some internal storage and is version r_aml_301500700. I don't see any way to clear the cache. I'm wondering if anyone else has this or did it carry over from my Nexus 5 when I set the Pixel 5A up. I don't see a way to remove it.
[Google Pixel 5a] xda6969:
This is apparently normal. I called Google support and the rep checked their phone... she also has the File app along with the Files by Google app.
[Google Pixel 5a] Slim2none4u:
I dont have files app. I only have Files by Google.

[Xposed General] countessdracula:
Hello everyone!

I installed Xposed on Moto G4 Android 7.1.2 (Nougat) into which I had installed e foundation custom ROM (bravo to me!). I wanted to install XPrivacyLua.

I downloaded the Xposed Framework v90-beta3 via Magisk. This resulted in a message in yellow: "Xposed Framework version 89 is installed, but not active. Please check the logs for details." "Could not load available ZIP files. Pull down to try again".

Please help! I would greatly appreciate your help, as I am a complete beginner. Actually, believe it or not, I haven't even used a smartphone before (true). I thought I would start on the right foot by installing a custom ROM, and going in the deep end. So far so good. But I need help and guidance from experienced folks now!

How can I make the Xposed active?

In Magisk, it says Xposed Framework v90-beta3 by rovo89 is installed. So not sure if I have v89 or v90 installed.

I have also given root access to Xposed in Magisk.

XPrivacyLua has also been installed, but it's not active, since Xposed is still inactive.

LOGS say as follows:

10-20 13:26:12.712 I/Xposed ( 457): ..............................

Please advise re above log: "ERROR: Could not access Xposed jar '/system/framework/XposedBridge.jar'read: unexpected EOF!" How can I let Xposed access the Xposed jar?

I have found a similar problem on: https://github.com/rovo89/XposedBridge/issues/200

People in above GitHub page talked about solving the problem by giving permission by using a root explorer. I am not sure what a root explorer is and how to use it, and whether using it would solve the situation?

I wonder if someone can please explain in simple language?

I am awaiting with great anticipation your voice of experience, everyone!

Try using original xposed for your device for android 7. I never had much luck using magisk version
[Xposed General] countessdracula:
Dear spawnlives,

Thank you so much for your reply. I am very grateful for your generous help.

I have a feeling I have already tried the original xposed without success, as I tried so many things.

But will definitely try it again!

All best wishes,

CD
[Xposed General] countessdracula:
Hello spawnlives and everyone,

Following your kind suggestion, spawnlives, I looked through my notes. I had tried the original Xposed for Android 7, which I had downloaded from XDA site.

The result was that Xposed didn't even show up in apps list, for some reason. It was nowhere to be seen - not even an icon.

So if you have further ideas, I would be most appreciative.

Unfortunately, the ROM I'm using had an update 2 days ago, which made Magisk to stop working. So Xposed has turned from yellow warning to red...

Sadly I don't think I can sort everything out until beginning of Dec, due to work.

I'll be back.

All best wishes,

CD
[Xposed General] spawnlives:
Bear in mind, much like magisk. xposed has two components to it.

Framework and installer ( control ) app

The framework will not show up in the system an app, only the installer ( control ) app will.

If you are going to use rovo's version you will have to use his installer app as well.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pyraxiate:
To do this you will require either htc home ,spb, manilla, or throttlelauncher. These applications actually replace your home screen to give you these tabs. There may be a shortcut menu application but any way you look at it, it isnt a native part of the OS.

FYI,

HTC Home, Manilla , Throttlelauncher are free apps you can find by using the search buttons :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hazo528:
Thanks. I Know About All These Apps But Ive Seen Screen Shots And Plugins That Didnt Use These Apps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pyraxiate:
Note.... a plugin is an application. Not a part of the actual rom. Again, you are looking for an application that will do this.

I hope this clears things up for you :)

Good afternoon

The XD team (Xyen and Dargonswim) has managed to port the Chinese betas with Android 12 for anyone who wants to test it.

You only need to have the bootloader open.

Installation (FASTBOOT):

- Enter fastboot mode (vol - and power).

- Connect the phone to the pc (have the USB debugging enabled).

- The first time it is recommended to do a clean install. Enter cmd and choose windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.ba t option. (Use the corresponding file for other platforms).

- Then you only need to use the update file.

- Wait 10 minutes for the process to finish. Do not disconnect the mobile at any time.

Hello guys,

I am looking for a way to disable the long vibration that OOS11 introduced for face unlock not detecting or recognizing a face.

Every time I read notifications on lockscreen the phone does a long vibration as if I was receiving a call, and this is very annoying.

I know that it happens on 6T as well, couldn't find any solution online so far..

Ps. my phone is rooted and with working Magisk and TWRP, so if there is anything that I should do to erase this vibration, let me know please.

thank you!
