Hi there,

I'm not sure where to turn to at all and I'm sure if this firmware can be created and used successfully, there will be a lot of other users who will benefit from it. My issue is a little specific, but bear with me, I got myself a corsair virtuoso se headset for Christmas. I've set them up using the icue software on my PC, but when I used them on the PS5, the settings did not transfer. Google has revealed that the headset itself does not have any on-board memory for saving settings. It seems like Corsair doesn't really care about console gamers and I can't get help from them.

If there is anything that can be done to get my headset how I want it, I would appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.

Is it possible to create a custom firmware with my settings and flash it directly to the headset?

Honestly, I don't even know where to begin. I've only ever rooted and flashed ROMs on my old S10.

Please let me know if this thread is in the wrong place or if it should be deleted.

Like I said, I am not the only one who has this issue with the headset, so if it can be fixed successfully, others may benefit as well.

Hello my good people, I just received a Samsung note 8 from a friend of mine, he was trying to update firmware but instead, the process failed, now the phone shows only a black screen, no charging, and no turning on at all....any help to resolve this issues will be grateful. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] gandyprakoso:
Try to turn it on with other batterie (opening back case of course), then boot into fastboot, if successful, odin it with latest firmware
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] luhazi:
ok thanks, let me try this
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Started noticing the other night that when I was on certain sites that I would get streaks down the screen. They moved with the text on the screen and it was worse with white backgrounds.

Now when my screen goes on or off, the edges flash green and in certain dark screens I can see green streaking down the panel. As a matter of fact when I use the fingerprint reader, the animation that spreads across the screen is now green tinted as well. It's definitely getting worse as time goes on even though earlier today I couldn't see any defects at all!

I have to say this is my first time having a problem with an OLED panel. Since I converted my Tello plan to eSIM, it's going to be a problem if I have to be without my phone for awhile. I guess I better order a Tello SIM card before I start the fight with support to get a replacement. It's been in a Spigen Tough Armor the whole time and the panel isn't cracked nor has it sustained any drops that should have damaged it but I've heard enough horror stories about Google support to know that my buying the phone at Best Buy may end with them refusing to repair it without a huge fight.

Very disappointing.

EDIT: Well at least Tello made the ordering process easy. $2 for the SIM, $5 for 2-3 day USPS shipping. Worst case scenario having it on pSIM I can just stick it in my OnePlus 9 for a bit.

EDIT2: That was way easier to get fixed that I was expecting. I had no issues with the Pixel repair support rep I chatted with and I called two uBreakiFix locations. The one closest to my house didn't have the screen in stock but could order it. The one less than 5 minutes further away had the screen and got it changed in about an hour. Very pleased!

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] DSF:
Hmm that's unfortunate.

Has the screen's edge been hit by mistake?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Medic1933:
That support fight will be a real joy lol. If you can't get Googs to do the right thing, just keep opening tickets. I'm sure you're aware, but it takes playing the competence lottery to get the right gatekeeper to support their hardware these days. I went through hell with this not that long ago. They're going to try and get you to use some random authorized repair center or send it to them. In both cases, in my area, that would've left me without a phone for over a week. Finally got the right person to replace my defective unit. Best of luck and sorry you have to go through the process. Not that there's many out there, but getting one of the rare lemon devices (user error aside) is always a bit frustrating, considering how expensive these things have gotten.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
No. And the interesting thing is it seems to get worse when it's warm. I woke up this morning and the only symptom anything is wrong at all is the green flash but it's barely perceptible, you have to really be looking for it.

I restored the stock software last night since I was on the beta and wanted to make sure it wasn't software. The entire screen was basically pulsing when I fell asleep and all my apps were being restored from backup.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Yeah I'm not looking forward to the fight. I'm also going to have to find a way to reproduce the issue every time since it does appear to be intermittent. If it's caused by overheating like I think it is, that will be easier to get them to replace.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Superguy:
I had my screen replaced once already and it's acting up again. Part of me wonders if it's the onboard GPU as it really freaks out when I play Star Trek Timelines. Sometimes the screen goes dark and comes back if I hit the power button. Other times I've had it go all yellow or yellow and brown and I had to do the power+vol down to get it to reboot.

I like the phone, but I've never had such issues with any other phone I've owned in 25 years of owning a phone.

I'm about ready to RMA and ask for a new phone.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Yeah I have seen your screen/GPU woes.

The thing is, I don't play games on this thing, yet it's doing it anyway. The first time I noticed it was while it was charging and the device was warm so heat seems to be the likely culprit. My phone's temperature usually averages about 30C so it's not like I'm abusing the heck out of it...

I haven't filed a ticket with Google just yet. Would prefer to wait for my new SIM card to come in first.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Superguy:
Often when I plug my phone in to charge, you can see this "wave", for lack of a better term, go up the screen. Like some sort of electrical pulse. The screen gets snowy for a second but it's still readable. I was never sure if it just an animation that it does when it starts charging or if its a hardware issue. It charges fine. Have you experienced that?

I think both the Tensor and screens come from Samsung. Wonder if Samsung had some bad batches and threw them in Google's stuff, or if their QC just sucks.

It's not something I've seen in Samsung phones before - either SD or Exynos based.

I haven't updated to the latest update yet, so I'm not sure if that will help or not.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
That is an intentional charging animation.

It certainly does seem like Google has more screen problems than other manufacturers. Just look at all the pink OGs, 2s, 3s, 4s, and 5s on Swappa...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] blackspp:
If it were an ice car I would say 'it needs new oil, don't worry'
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Superguy:
Ok, glad that's just an animation. It looks cool at least.

5a's had the black screen of death. Have there been other complaints about the screen elsewhere? I've seen a few others besides us having problems, but I haven't seen any mentions on other websites that I read.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I just remember all the pink screens I saw when I was trying to find a decent price on a used Pixel. There were far more pink and heavily burned in OLED panels on the Pixels than anything else. I know they used cheaper LG panels for the early models but still.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] boogie1077:
Here's video of my Pixel 7 Pro screen flicker.

It gets worse over time and eventually will go completely black after about 15 min of continuous use. The way around this is to let the screen 'rest' for about 15 min, then it acts (mostly) normal.

This has really put a damper on my Candy Crush flow...

I also get this action when charging if AoD is on.

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1592569921271402496

I've got an RMA request in. They actually had me email this video to them so they decide if they're going to honor my claim.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Oof. I see another class action in Google's future...

My screen did start to flicker when it was setting itself back up after I used the Android Flash Tool and I figured it was going to go out completely if it kept going so I powered it off and went to bed. Got up this morning and it was fine until it warmed up again.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Well I chatted with them and they confirmed that it's a covered warranty repair and I just have to call UbreakiFix and set up an appointment.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] robbbzilla:
I am glad you were able to get a fix covered under warranty! It really sucks when these things happen.

I hope everything goes smoothly and you don't have any more problems!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Just picked it up. Got some ramen, sushi, and a Kirin while waiting. Overall, very pleased. Took them less than an hour from drop off to repair.

Actually didn't even know there was a ramen place in this shopping center and it was the best I've had so I'll be coming back 😂
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] hand-filer:
That was quick! Glad it worked out.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I am starting to wonder if people having issues when not buying from Google are going to Google Store instead of Pixel repair. Dude didn't even ask where I bought it, just what country I bought it in, if I was still in that country, the IMEI, and pictures of the malfunction. It couldn't have been easier.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] boogie1077:
Yeah - they agreed to RMA my phone. I don't mind waiting a few days and sending it in. Maybe they can figure out what went wrong better if they have the phone.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
What I was really happy about is that when I brought it in the screen was basically functioning normally even though I tried to warm it up on the way there with benchmarks and uBreakiFix replaced it anyway because of the ticket from Google. If I mailed it to them, there's a chance they would have seen it was working and mailed it right back to me.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Was treated to a white screen while I was in my Uber today. Smacked the side of the phone and part of the image came back. Smacked it again and the whole image came back. Guess they didn't connect the cable completely? Ugh. I really don't want to bring it back. I think I'm just going to dump it for the S23 next month. Hopefully it makes it that long.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] hand-filer:
Too bad the 7 pro is giving you grief. If rooting, modding is a non issue, the S23 will make for a very nice upgrade.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] robbbzilla:
That seriously sucks. I am sorry to hear that.

Maybe it would be worth it to call Google and ask for a replacement device? You could tell them you took it to a local repair center and now the screen is glitching.

I would say that at this point that you want a replacement device and will keep the phone you have until the replacement arrives. They can send a prepaid label with the replacement device for you to ship the defective phone back to Google.

That way you don't have to go back and deal with the repair center again and hopefully get a new replacement. Just a thought other than getting an s23 ultra.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] viper8u2:
Well mine started having streaks also today. Depending on what application and color displayed it is shows more (worse) my phone has been in a case since day 1, never dropped.

I have never seen this with a phone but googling I see others have been having issues also. Did you ever get a new phone was it hardware or is it software?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Yeah I do like those things but they're not mandatory for me. The S23 supports Dish's band n70 as well as AT&T's 3.45GHz spectrum, neither of which are supported by the Pixel, and I have Dish's Boost Infinite as my primary SIM card which uses both n70 and AT&T's 3.45GHz so my mobile data experience would be much better. I also haven't had a Samsung since the Note 5 so maybe it's time to give them another chance.

I am going to go down the rabbit hole again. I dropped the phone last night when the screen went white again while trying to smack it back into working and it has been fine since but I'm going to carry around my OnePlus 9 as well just in case until I can get over to uBreakiFix and have them try again. If it breaks again after that I'll fight with Google about it.

It's a hardware issue. They replaced my screen and it immediately stopped. The girl at uBreakiFix said they see it more with Pixels than other devices so...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] viper8u2:
Thanks, I have the option of getting advanced replacement under warranty or getting fixed at uBreakifix I did the care package also my phone is essentially like new the day I got it except the screen now and worried I will get some worn one with replacement. Gonna call uBreakifix in the morning and see if they have parts to fix, if so I will try that route
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Speaking personally, I wouldn't allow this to force me away from the Pixel but if you do, make sure you don't allow them to get away with it and take it back to be properly repaired so at least you can sell it and make some money back. P7Ps are still going for a good price second hand given that they've only been out for a 3 months.

The S23 looks to be a good phone. But I refuse to buy another Samsung after the issues I had getting my S21 Ultra repaired.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Yeah I do plan to force them to fix it or replace it but a new phone is inevitable as my provider will be sending new SIM cards to access their 5G native network soon and my Pixel is going to be pretty crippled on that network not supporting band n70 or AT&T's 3.45GHz n77 (the SIM is supposed to automatically switch between Dish, AT&T, and T-Mobile networks).

My choice for phones that do support those bands comes down to Samsung or iPhone because even if the OnePlus 11 ends up supporting them (not sure either way yet), I won't ever buy a OP again.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Took it in and they reseated the cable and the screen just got green lines all throughout it so they're thinking it's either a second defective screen or a bad board. They're ordering me another screen so we can try that. It was funny though. You should have seen the look of shock I got when they handed it back to me and I smacked the right side of the phone into my palm and the screen began working again when it had been full of green lines for like the 5 minutes they were updating my ticket. 😂 If nothing else, it's certainly funny to see people's reactions to me Fonzie-ing my phone back to working order. 👍
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] viper8u2:
I got my screen fixed today, I didnt know I had to wipe it so now resetting everything up again but so far the screen seems good again
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] robbbzilla:
From what you are describing and my inexperienced opinion I would say it is a defective board. If two screens have similar issues odds are it is not the screen and since they made sure the connection was good and it sort of resets or fixed by you smacking the device it is probably a short happening within the board. I would call them and ask if they could order a new board to have in stock just in case the second screen replacement has the same issue.

Was the device ever dropped? It was probably a defective board from the start as phones should be built to handle impact but a drop would have probably shown the fault with the board and exacerbated the problem.

Once you get a board replacement it probably won't happen again. I would also probably ask for them to replace both just to be sure?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Glad that they got you taken care of. It's just my luck honestly. I usually don't have any problems but when I do, they're always hell.

It's not my choice. I have to fight with Google about the board replacement. Getting a second screen and having the same issue would make that process much easier.

I can use my OnePlus 9 for now I guess. I hate it and it doesn't get 5G on AT&T or Verizon but it does at least work.

My phone has been in a Spigen Tough Armor since I took it out of the box so if a random drop on carpet did this, it wasn't put together very well from the start.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] robbbzilla:
Don't get me wrong I am not blaming you if you dropped the phone. I was just wondering if you did as that might have triggered the internal defect. Phones should be designed to be dropped during their useful lifetime without failure within reason of course.

Yeah, using the OP9 is bummer but at least you have a backup.

I would figure two defective screens or a screen issue on the original factory screen and replacement would be enough to push Google to replace your phone outright but that is just my opinion and probably the tact I would take. Whether or not Google customer service would agree is an entirely different story. Lol

Good luck in either case and I hope you get a long lasting resolution soon!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Crazy how many people are having this problem now.

I am making my third trip to uBreakiFix in an hour and a half-ish.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
We got to the store as soon as it opened and it took them about an hour to do the repair. It seems to be working so far. Fingers crossed.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mmawji:
Had the same issue. called Google support and got the screen replaced within 2 hours.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dexlemaffo:
The GPU driver is messed up since the December stable update. QPR beta 2 seems to fix the issue.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
My phone was on the beta when it tripped up.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Mine seems to be working just fine now. I guess somehow I ended up with two defective panels. Doesn't give me much confidence in the long term.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] robbbzilla:
The panels are Samsung Amoled and I would assume that they are some of the best you can get. As long as the part is genuine. Sometimes stuff happens and you get a defect. I am sure there is a percentage of defective panels even with the best screens.

Hopefully now you have a good screen and it will last the rest of the life of your phone!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Superguy:
They didn't wipe mine, fortunately.

In general: call them before you take it over. I have multiple UBIF stores in my area and not all had the screen in stock. Sucks to go over and they not have it, especially if you have to drive a while to get to one.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
My screen has starting getting some pulsing of the brightness level and an occasional slight flicker in the image again... Noticed it last night which means my good screen lasted about 11 days. Zero drops in that time; I've babied this thing. Very annoyed.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bobby janow:
One thing about the iPhone is that you'll probably hate it in the short term but get to like it. But that's besides the point. Fact is you'll never run out of battery during the day. I mean like ever. The things are beautiful, display beyond incredible, dual sim support that you need, and expensive as hell. I've had really great luck with the P7 but I was tempted at one point. But a grand? Any trade in available for you? It really stinks when you need to depend on the phone and it's just not working right. Sorry to hear and good luck.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I had the iPhone 8 Plus, XS Max, and 12 Pro Max. There are so many limitations but you are correct about the battery (although I can get 6-8 hours of screen on time out of this thing pretty easily unless I'm heavily using mobile data, which doesn't happen often). I wouldn't be able to get anything for my Pixel because Apple doesn't accept them as trade ins and won't until the iPhone 15 series. Obviously I wouldn't feel right trying to sell my problem to someone else either.

I'll see if the S23U has what I need and go from there. If the Pixel dies before that, I may begrudgingly get an iPhone 14 Pro Max. I'm also not sure if the 14 series will be able to do Boost Infinite's dynamic network switching between Dish, AT&T, and T-Mobile either though and I'm really wanting to experience that.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] robbbzilla:
Why don't you ask for a replacement device from Google. You have tried to repair it several times and you keep having issues so it might be an internal problem.

I would ask Google to replace the device. That way you will get something completely new. Hopefully that would solve your issue for good. Sometimes a device is just defective?

Might be something to try before you get rid of it. If you have problems with a replacement then I would ask for a refund.

Just a thought. I hope everything works out and am sorry for all of your troubles.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bobby janow:
I was more thinking via your carrier trade-in policy. I'm on VZ and I just checked and you could get close to $400 for that (almost) brick. But I know you're not on VZ so ymmv. Aside from your trials and tribs with this device, I once had Google Fi for a NY minute (like maybe a year) and it had switching via Sprint and TM. It just never worked right. That was a while ago so maybe Dish has improved the switching technology. Have you tried it with a test device or with any device yet? They do state that it will work with iPhones and Samsung but no mention of the Pixel line.

Even on the P7 I'm also getting at least 6 hours SOT but the battery will barely make it to the end of the day. My kids make fun of me carrying around a cable since they never have to do that with their iPhone 12s. And they're over 2 years old too. But I'm so darn invested in Google at the moment with TV, smart home devices and everything that goes with G Home so I'm out of luck even if I did want to spend a grand. I'm basically just throwing out some food for thought on a sub zero Saturday here. But after my P6 and 6a, I hated both of them, my P7 is finally humming along. If this didn't work out I'd be looking for a second mortgage to pick up the 14 at the carrier. Keep us posted, specifically about BI too, this is a fascinating thread.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I bought my device at Best Buy so it's a miracle Google even has approved repairs thus far. They're well known for doing zilch if you didn't buy it from the Google Store.

Well none of my providers offer device financing except for Boost Infinite and Boost Infinite doesn't currently have a trade in option. I was thinking I might wait to see what kind of offer they have for the S23U since they'll undoubtedly be adding it but I'm waiting to see what Samsung offers directly and if Best Buy offers anything so I can just trade in and walk out that day.

I have the money... I technically didn't pay anything for the Pixel 7 Pro (preordering at Best Buy and trading in my 12 Pro Max that I hated and hadn't used in over 7 months ended up putting extra money in my pocket) and I was planning to buy a new phone last year or this year anyway so it's not the end of the world, just very disappointing.

As for Dish... They removed the iPhones from the Boost Infinite site the other day. I don't know if that's a sign or not but it wouldn't surprise me at all if the network switching just isn't something Apple wants to cooperate with right now.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
This thread makes me doubt I'll be getting another Pixel. Still, saying that (touch wood) I've not had any issues so far.
