[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] ajg32:
Thank you very much for all the help, I managed to restore the phone pre-TWRP mess. You mentioned rooting by only installing magisk. Would that method be similar to the one described here https://www.rootdroids.com/guides/how-to-root-google-pixel-3-with-magisk-without-twrp/?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] dcarvil:
Yes, that is the method. Those instructions don't really tell you how to get boot.img though. Unzip the factory image you downloaded. Inside that zip is another zip. Unzip that second zip and boot.img will be extracted.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] ajg32:
I believe I got the correct boot.img although now when I try to flash boot the patched img file I get an error. Specifically,

Warning: skip copying boot_a image avb footer (boot_a partition size: 67108864, boot_a image size: 100663296).

Sending 'boot_a' (98304 KB) OKAY [ 2.286s]

Writing 'boot_a' (bootloader) Image missing cmdline or OS version

FAILED (remote: 'Failed to write to partition Bad Buffer Size')

fastboot: error: Command failed

Looking it up it seems like the most common fix is to boot from TWRP
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] dcarvil:
"boot_a image size: 100663296" is the wrong size. How are you transferring boot.img and the patched image between your phone and PC? You should be using adb push/pull. If you did use adb push/pull, I'd need to see all the commands you used, and a directory listing of all the files to see if I can spot something wrong. Also, what version of Magisk?

You could try renaming magisk.apk to magisk.zip and installing the zip with TWRP, but I don't know if that method still works on the Pixel 3. I've never tried that method. Make sure you just boot TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img), and do not install TWRP. If that breaks things, at least you know how to recover now.

[General Questions and Answers] METAL66:
So i lost my device first, thought i wouldn't get it back, so out of frustration i used find my device and locked first, then erased the data.

Now i have the device with me, and i am too nervous for giving it access to wifi. What should i do? i don't have energy to backup photos, progress of the read books/watched movies. etc..

Is there a way to reverse or cancel this? i have tried to remove the google account from the device and sign out, but still nervous to start wifi and see what will happen

please help ?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
What were you thinking? No data backup?

When you lock or encrypt a device you are the one most likely to be locked out!!!

Try taking it to a Samsung Experience center at Best Buy or a data recovery specialist.
[General Questions and Answers] METAL66:
i have access to the tablet, i just don't know how to do the best backup with less steps, i will look into it, but for now, i don't want to lose any data, is there a way? i have access to the tablet as long as i am not using internet/wifi
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
App settings are lost unless they provide the ability to create a exportable backup copy like Poweramp does. Copy all critical data, folder by folder by copy/paste to the PC. Verify the data size and that files are readable.

Make sure you know the Google account password and any other critical ones. Backup contacts and messages. Bookmarks.

Make at least 2 copies of this data to 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC. You can never have too much backup... time staggered backups to multiple hdds are a good strategy. Keep backup hdds isolated from each other and the PC so one event can't take them all out. Store in separate locations preferably in an earth grounded metal box or safe. Keep clear on all magnets.

NEVER trust SmartSwitch to backup critical data.

Develope a plan now... put some thought into it.

If the device has a SD card slot use the SD card as your data drive. All critical data goes here. Then simply backup the SD card regularly. Do Not encrypt the SD card or any backup hdds!!! On the internal memory only apps, and the download and dcim folders go on it. Manually backup the two latter folders regularly to the SD card. There can only be one folder with the name "dcim" in it on the device! Rename backup folders something else ie Pic Master, etc.

When I got a diamond after 3 days,I found it can't make any sound,no ring,no voice.But after I reset it,it work normally.

This problem happened every day,and i can't know when it will go wrong,so I have missed much important call.

I have flash hdsl 1.90,1.40,Radio 1.00.25.03,1.00.25.05,1.00.25.07,and all roms i can get.But it get this failure as of old.I have no any idea.

The reason why i think it is a software trouble is,after i reset it or i use media player play a Mp3 file,it will work normally for a while,and mute again after a one or two hours.

Are there some meet the same problem like my diamond?If anyone know fix it, pls tell me ,Thanks a lot.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xgerryx:
I just messed with the Pixel 7 pro at Best Buy before mine arrives tomorrow and I am a little alarmed at how bad the screen looks. I normalized the colors and settings on both the Pixel and my S22 Ultra and the Samsung is brighter, more readable, less dim, if that makes sense, than the Pixel. Even at low brightness when I was messing with things the Samsung had readable text. When I lowered the brightness on the Pixel it started to look just hazy and muddy. Both devices 1440p. The Pixel's auto brightness kept failing. It stuck with what I moved the slider to even after toggling the option. A reboot seemed to fix it temporaily.

Anyone who came from an S22 phone and has a Pixel now, what are your thoughts on the screen?

In terms of specs, Samsung is using a "Dynamic AMOLED 2x" panel, according to Phonearena, and the Pixel is using "LTPO AMOLED".

A side question, can you manually set your colors for text, background, etc? Or do you HAVE TO use the material you nonsense and let it pick for you? If so, anyone know if the Pixel 6 has mods available to make it more manual without using exposed?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Misterxtc:
I had a S22 for a week or so and the wife and I had a 21 Ultra for over a year and a half. Neither of us have had any readability issues with our Pixels. She has a 6 Pro and I have the 7 Pro now. The only thing I didn't care for is the hollow feeling and sound when tapping. The auto brightness is a bit more responsive on the Samsung but it works fine here. Other than that we are very happy with the switch. My advice is to try it out for yourself and ignore the kool-aid floating around. I was concerned at first too.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] discophil:
My pixel 7 pro arrived today. Screen is crap. Yellow tint to everything. Colour temperature doesnt seem right. Its as you say, looks muddy, drab. I'm coming from a oneplus 7 pro which has a fantastic screen. Its been reported but google havent acknowledged a problem yet.

Its really dissapointing... Has anyone else compared their pixel to another OLED phone?

Pixel 7 & 7 Pro display colors appear washed out on some units

A section of Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro users are reporting that display colors appear washed out and whites have yellow tint.

Any pictures of this yellow tint or are you just repeating what you read elsewhere?

Or did you enable night mode lol
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Screen is superior to the S22 Ultra according to DXOMark and sits behind only the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Google Pixel 7 Pro Display test

We put the Google Pixel 7 Pro through our rigorous DXOMARK Display test suite to measure its performance across six criteria. In this test summary, we will break down how it fared in a variety of tests and several common use cases. Overview Key display specifications: 6.7 inches OLED (~89.6%...

www.dxomark.com

Certainly better than any screen on any phone I've ever owned but to each their own.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] discophil:
LOL no, i dont have night mode enabled.

I know these things are subjective and what's technically correct might not be what people prefer. For instance a warmer colour temperature I think is what might actually be correct and accurate for a cinema/movies, but for general display use people I think usually prefer a cooler white over a warmer one. Like if i look at a sheet of A4 paper in daylight, it looks white as white, not with a yellow tint.

Its very difficult to photograph the difference. Human eyes are more sensitive the the difference in colour temp. However...

The one way i can think of to show the difference between a cooler (normal for most phones?) display such as my oneplue 7 pro is to take a photo of ONLY the oneplus's full white screen. I can then use photo as a custom white balance on my DSLR. So that the oneplus screen is what the camera will use as true white. Then we can see a direct comparrison against the Pixel 7 pro and see that its got a warmer/yellow colour temp/tint. I also adjusted the brightness of each phone to be the same by using the DSLR to measure the brightness.

See photo below. Untouched image on the top (oneplus on the left, pixel on the right). Then a saturation boosted image below that.

I think all google needs to do is add back the option to manually set a cooler colour temperature and also add an option to boost the saturation. I know this likely isnt "accurate"... but people like pretty colours lol and have probably got used to oversaturated OLED displays.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I personally love the display on this phone. No complaints about it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xgerryx:
I have my Pixel now and this is correct. The screen is like dim and drab compared to the galaxy at the same brightness level in exactly the same place. I have everything set up the same on both. 50% brightness on the Pixel doesn't look close to normal compared to 30% on the Galaxy, or what my Oneplus 8 Pro was either.

This is pretty disappointing. Still going to give it a chance for a week before I decide but this is noticeably worse.

The kicker with this is that Google provide almost zero customization, even compared to Oneplus. I am totally ok relying on mods and root, which I will be doing, but it needs to be at least possible.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] discophil:
Actually! This should give us the proper answer! I just read on the below link that 'A colour temperature of 6500 K is standard for ordinary PC use and for the sRGB standard'

https://www.eizo.co.uk/knowledge/monitor-expertise/color-temperature-on-an-lcd-monitor/

I've set the colour temperature on my DSLR manually to 6500K. So anything that is 6500k should look white on the photo. Again, photo below comparrison from oneplus 7 pro and pixel 7 pro with the saturation boosted image on the bottom.

The pixel is defo yellower vs 6500k standard. The oneplus is bit too blue vs 6500k. Either way... yes. the pixel has a yellow tint vs what it probably should be (given no user settings for us to be able to change the colour temp settings.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Guyinlaca:
Comparing the Pixel 7 Pro side by side with the Pixel 6 Pro and S22 Ultra. The S22 Ultra is brighter and more saturated which I think looks better. The 6 Pro and 7 Pro screen both have a duller "natural" look with the 6 Pro slightly red and the 7 Pro slightly yellow, though white looks acceptable on all three. The brightness on the S22 Ultra at 40% is similar to the 7 Pro at 60% and the 6 Pro at 80%.

We need to petition Google to bring back the Saturated mode they had on previous pixels.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] RebDovid:
Unless one has a particular need for absolute color fidelity, it all comes down to what pleases. Hence discussions like this can seem pointless. For those who care about the technical analyses, however, here's a link to DxOMark's Google Pixel 7 Pro Display test. The P7P scored 153 points for Display Color. (High at 163 points was the Sony Xperia 5 IV.)

Curiously, however, the DxOMark table of all smartphone display scores lists the iPhone 14 Pro Max first with 149 points, immediately followed by the P7P with 149 points. The Samsung S22 Ultra is tied for tenth, with the iPhone 13, at 136 points. For some reason, DxOMark didn't score the OnePlus 7 Pro's display. DxOMark did rank its selfie camera (22nd at 113 points vs. 145 for the iPhone 14 Pro, 142 for the P7P, and 133 for the S22 Ultra).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] discophil:
All I want is a setting to manually adjust the colour temperature.

Its a stupidly simple thing to implement and I think it might already be there, just disabled from us being able to change it?

If you go to settings, make sure developer options is enabled. Then search settings for 'Color temperature' You can see theres an option for 'cool colour temperature' that shows up in the search results. But if you click it, it takes you nowhere. So its there in the dev options, its just hidden so we cant actually get to it and enable it.

Also on the on the DxOMark tests, this bit is interesting >

I bet you someone can figure out how to access that color temp menu. Let's see if someone comes across this and figures that out. Do dialer codes work on this phone? On the s22 they don't.

Yeah don't get that comment above, a company who is not affiliated with any company, and testing many different types of equipment, and rating them is very valuable IMO. A lot of the information are apple for apple comparisons in lab type and real world environment testing, the only part I don't care for is, that I think they test the devices too early before a lot of these issues can be resolved by the vendors, I think it would be more valuable if they did a mid year after release re-review and comparison.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Don't agree. Personally I've never been a fan of the high saturation, over the top vivid colours you get on the likes of Samsung phones by default. This is why it was always the thing I changed when I bought one. But it can look appealing to some, which is why all television demos in shops look ridiculous with stupidly exaggerated colours you would never see in real life.

In short, some people appear to be confusing accurate colour representation with dullness.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] p_shad0w:
DEFINATELY washed out colors.. Compared even to my old Oneplus 5T.... I am seriously having second thoughts about keeping this.... Switching to it from a OnePlus 9 Pro was a step backwards so far in sounds , screen , etc....I don' much care about perfomance or camera to be honest... But the washed out colors on the screen and the bad speakers have rubbed me the wrong way ...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MoneyNotEnough:
Sure but color calibration being warmer than neutral is something that skews all the other color representations for me as well.

I'm ok with natural, less vivid colors but not a yellow tinted display.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] discophil:
Fully agree with this. Accurate (flat/dull? to some) is what things like video and music are mastered to. So that the content people create is accurate to a standard and works correctly across all devices without ending up looking totally wrong. Just like with music matering where you master the music on monitor speakers that have a very flat and accurate response across the frequency spectrum.

The problem is... people dont usually like a flat response. People may like something that sounds more bassy, or a bit more trebble. Or in this case, a bit more saturation or cooler colour temperature. A cooler colour temperature can still be 100% accurate, but it will be accurate to the specification for that cooler colour temperature.

All we need is a slider to adjust the colour temperature as a minimum so people can set it to their liking. Saturation slider would be nice as well.

FYI, I found an app called 'Color Calibraion' on the play store. You can boost the blues a bit which makes whites look less yellow. Seems to work OK, but dont over do it or you end up with too much blue (keep an eye on what a grayscale looks like. Its not a proper ix, as its squewing things, where as proper colour temp adjustment would be correct and accurate.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
If your screen has a yellow tint I'd definitely suggest returning it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] discophil:
Dont get me started on the speakers... errgh.... horrible. I'm the opposite, i wanted to upgrade from my oneplus 7 pro for a better camera. Thats the main thing i care about. But the speaker EQ is horrible. Not a very smooth frequency response at all and the left/right speaker balance is properly crap.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] manners400:
First anyone feeling like their whites look yellow, I would say you either have night mode/bedtime mode on or you have a bad display. The pixel 7 pro display has a better white balance then the pixel 6 pro and you honestly didn't hear people complain about that display being yellow.

Second, some things on a phone will definitely be subjective and more personal preference which is awesome why their are so many phone options. I personally started disliking the over saturated shenanigans since the pixel 4XL but again personal preference. To me a better test is a screens color accuracy and HDR content, brightness, etc rather than the home screen boosted color.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xgerryx:
I can tell just from using Google Messages with RCS that the teal color is far flatter and more dull than on the Galaxy. Preference I'm sure but I would like an option to change that to my liking. I'm rooted and everything now so I'm sure there will be a way to change all this stuff anyway.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
Exactly. Oversaturated colors don't equal "quality" or "accuracy". I got both the S22 Ultra and Pixel 7 Pro now. Yes, the Pixel's display is less saturated, but I find my S22 Ultra to be OVER saturated at this point, it's not natural at all and that doesn't equal color accuracy.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jaseman:
You know as much as we hate it when it happens to us but sometimes "we", or "you" get a lemon. If the screen looks that bad either get it replaced with another one, or get your money refunded and go with Something else.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MoneyNotEnough:
Mine is not an isolated report. Also the return policy varies widely country to country.

Some do not allow a return once the seal on the box is broken, barring obvious hardware defects.

Yellow tint would not qualify for a return where I'm from.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] george.smarandache:
At first I thought the brightness is a joke, compared to my Note 20U, but I compared side by side with different levels of brightness and I don't think that's the case anymore.

The auto brightness is quite poor on the Pixel 7P and hope for an improvement.

While comparing to N20U using manual brightness, I noticed when P7P was at 50%, N20U was at about 30% on brightness slider [they are not really showing %]. So I think Samsung is lying about it as when I used Display Tester app, with both on 50%, they looked to be on par. Samsung's slider at 50% is probably more like 70%. Or maybe their increase is exponential, who knows?!?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xgerryx:
It could also be that 30% on the Pixel IS 50% on the Galaxy, especially on my S22 Ultra because the nits are much higher, so the % will be incongruent. Not sure if by that margin, but I'm seeing exactly what you are. The issue with this is, more brightness needed for a similar situation, more brightness is more heat, more heat is more battery use.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Guyinlaca:
Maybe if enough people request it, they'll release a Saturated option.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] danw_oz:
I have just got my pixel 7 pro, I do see what people are saying, but this for me is only occurring at lower brightness settings, it is but brighter than my pixel 6 pro and far less of a hue in comparison, if I crank up the brightness mine is super white, and at the end of the day a slightly yellow screen with not hurt your eyes so much, which is why they probably did this than giving you a more blue light.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] danw_oz:
Yeah they did it with other pixel models, to be honest looking at adaptive on mine the colour are already pretty saturated.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] K1nsey6:
Mine is doing this too, it looks like a constant muddy night mode
