Exactly
how can we change button light which app
I don't think so as it's something hardware related.

I actually quite like the blue. But tbh, I disabled the lights on mine.

I've disabled them too. They made sense as I had backlit symbols there telling me what the keys do. But I don't need lights for two dots that give me no information.

The blue is really pretty imo, but I understand if others aren't a fan. Maybe people could get color changing tape? XD

It can be changed by app i guess with root access or through xposed module

I believe the symbols have been done away with to accomodate the button order swap feature.

That's it. There was no way to swap the functions of the keys on my previous phone. I could just turn it on or off. It was useful when you had a blackout and had to look which button does what ^^
Anyway, it was more a nice to have than a must have feature. I probably wouldn't use the back lighting as it sometimes even was brighter than the phone screen.
Or just annoying while watching videos or something.

I'd have preferred it if the backlight was always on when the screen is on, but not a big deal if it's off. I liked the backlights of my Nexus S, they weren't too bright.

Thinking about it. It'd be nice if it could change to match accent colour

That would be pretty awesome. Maybe next year they could give them a brightness control and color control.. my umi super had a home button that strobed and changed colours.. It was beautiful to look at. It doubled as a notification LED..
Just checked Pixel 2 XL at Verizon store, screen is brighter than last year's Pixel but has banding issue.

Hey sorry but can you explain what you mean by banding issues? Thank you in advance ?
In the fist pic I can see a dim horizontal band just between the paragraphs... that?
...looks more like burn in to me. ...guess you have to be there.

P-OLED is new to me...
Found this write-up.

Did they have a demo loop running? I work for tmobile and if they don't have one running, your going to get burn in.. Think of it like a Screensaver

The phone has been on display for less than 12 hours. I don't think it's burn in.

It's not burn-in. This is a known issue with OLED panels. LG's OLED TVs are famous for banding issues like this. It's a simple problem of not being able to supply electricity consistently across the entire panel and some rows of pixels get less electricity and so the OLEDs do not illuminate as much.

keep your screen on with the same image for 12 hours and see if it doesnt burn in
Dang the new XL is sweet. It's so much better than what we see in the photos. I think they hit it out of the park with this one. Love the always on, the vibration is way better, screen is great.

Edit, again picture shows now.
Your link doesn’t work
link works for me
He fixed it notice the edit. Ps phone looks great I don’t know why we’re hearing so much complaining about the bezels. They don’t look big at all
The link is working for me. Congrats on receiving your phone so early!
Congratulations..
Can you please check this out for me, it will be very helpful..
please can you check (when screen locked) if the notifications will show as ambient (screen black with notifications text only for a while) when receiving a new notification..? I know there is an always on display feature, but was wondering if still with it the new notifications texts will show on a black screen for a while like the ambient display feature in the old pixel..
Really appreciate if someone can answer..
Is there a way on Pixel phones to edit the nav bar buttons like on most other phones? I like the back button on the right.

We need more real world reviews on the screen from Avg Joe consumer. The screen is taking a beating online. Makes me weary. My 6p had that bluish rainbow effect viewing angle issue.
Can you comment more on how the display looks to you personally? So far the reviews are not good.

Screen looks great to me. I have it about 50%brightness. Even from angles I don't see what the issue is.
Very nice design but.. Screen looks dull as f..
Not just dull but inaccurate.

Actually colors are more accurate than any other OLED screen out there. They’re not over saturated like the galaxy phones

So far the screen is fine. I'm not the right guy to ask about screen this or that so I would defer to the big screen thread. The only thing I do notice is a blue tint when you tilt the screen 20 plus degrees like a lot of the other people have stated but it doesn't really bother me as I almost always look at the screen straight on
In the unboxing videos I've seen, I haven't seen the tool for removing the sim card tray.
Is there one included? I'm not sure I have mine still from my 6P. I'm sure I can use something else, but it would be nice if the new phone came with one.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: so funny. Not 60 seconds after typing this, I click on an unboxing video and the first thing shown is the sim card ejector, which is in with the manual packaging.
Oh well, I hope I get this bad boy soon. My ship date is scheduled for the 24th and I'm hoping for sooner.
Yeah got my phone yesterday as well, screen is different to say the least but the accuracy of color is really gorgeous. Google said they will be releasing a fix for the screen to adjust it or maybe disable SRGB as it's not for everyone but the phone works great, lightning fast, and take everything I throw at it. I have substratum themes running on it now (non rooted) and still the phone works great and looks great.

Is there an option in "Developer Options" to toggle sRGB? With it enabled on my 6P, the colors do look more muted, yet more natural. I was just wondering if the picture color mode can be changed.

The funny thing is if you go to settings and search for it, it says it's there in developer options, but when you look for it, it's not there lol
Hi guys
I have a used V20 but the colors of the icons etc are quite dull compared to my wifes V20 and also the whites are more yellowish when compaing side by side. Which part of the phone affects/determines the LCD colors? Is it the digitizer itself or does it have to do with the mainboard producing the colors?
Thx!!

No its off and i played around with the Vision color setting but it doesnt really help. Id like to order replacement part but i want to make sure that I order the correct part that is associated with the colors of the screen?
Thx
Activate the high contrar mode either with the high contrast theme or the option(i dont remember where it is in the settings)
Sorry for the double comment

Yes i have it turned on. Screen colors are still quite poor compared to my other V20. Colors seem faded a bit.
Im thinking maybe its due to age or wear. But our phones arent THAT old.
Anybody else feeling that the diaplay on this device is slightly warm? Or have yellowish panel?
Any workaround or i have to replace the device?
Very warm imo.
I changed the ROM and playing with screen color settings, I could get a white white.
Why not go into display settings first and try to calibrate it to your liking.
