Hi, I have been using my OPO for almost 3 years now. And currently I am looking forward to switch to other device. My OPO really served me well, but seeing all this type C, dual camera gimmick makes my OPO looks old and not to mention the battery is aging. So I need some opinion from you guys. Is there any severe issue (or manufacturing issue) with this phone?
to me type c, dual camera gimmick isn't worth the upgrade. Also mi a1 does have its limitations like no nfc, mid range cpu and surprisingly no direct boot support. Prices in India does prove mi a1 a good choice given its expected to receive updates upto android P. If I haven't messed up my nexus 4 touchscreen (also no lte ) i would have waited for oreo based devices.
Given one plus one custom rom support i would recommend to wait for some time.
I'm coming from a Oneplus 3 and i'm going to switch to the Xiaomi mi a1. Or u wait a bit and buy this one: http://www.gizchina.com/2017/10/19/xiaomi-redmi-note-5-redmi-5-plus-might-hit-markets-november-11/

OPO3 to A1 is definitely a downgrade thou. Because now OP5 is pretty much at premium price which I can't afford anymore so I am looking at the A1. But after some quick searches, there is some problem with the display and headphone jack hissing problem right?
the hissing problem isnt tht bad mate you only hear when the sound stops for a second but the multitouch sensitivity is the worst issue for me

It depends on what screen u have as there are 2 different panels used. For the headphone problem, IDK
I have no hissing problem and the touch screen issues are only mild
I was in the same boat few days back. And I made the switch from Oneplus one to Mi A1. I would say I'm pretty happy with my decision. OPO battery was dying and I was tried to manually flashing updates every now and then. Mi A1 is working as it should and I am satisfied with it. Portrait mode in day light is a big plus and a reason to get A1.

I see, then do you face those 2 problem described? Headset hissing sound display lag? Try with a small headsets, no headphone those big one.

Honestly, I don't get any display issues. Probably because I don't play games which requires multitouch.
About hissing sound, I don't get it on apple earphones.
With boAt 225 bassheads I get it but only when I get a notification while listening to music, not otherwise. So it's not a deal breaker for me.
Also switched from OPO and it is totally worth it!
It is better in any way. Screen, camera, battery life, sound quality and responsiveness.
I didn't realize how much the OPO was struggling to run Nougat until now.
I switched last week from 1+1(LineageOS) to A1. It seems as fast as 1+1 on daily use. Battery is awesome. Camera is pretty much the same, i'm not sure which is better. And finally all small bugs from lineageos are gone.
What do you think the probability of some of the "software" features demoed on the Pixel 3 will be ported to the Pixel 2 via Magisk, Xposed, Root etc?
Features im most intrested in is:
Playground - Finally i can meet Iron Man. Lol (It kinda sounded like google said these will be coming to Pixel and Pixel 2 later although i dont remember Pixel 1 having the AR chip soooo.
Call screen - I WANT THIS!!!!!!!!
The rest of the phone was pretty "Meh" I guess "NightSight" looked pretty cool.
Many new features will be available on all Pixel phones in a month or so according the the Made by Google event. I've watched it twice now. Maybe I'll make a list this evening when I watch again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsoQGTA1SxY
edit - I do remember Night Sight will come to all Pixels.

Interesting because after i watched the made by google event i watched MKBHD's impressions video. Turns out he was invited to Google HQ a few months ago to film and try out all the products he said that Google said other then the Hush feature they would all be exclusive to the Pixel 3

I've had the "Hush" feature for at least 5 years on a Galaxy Nexus, S4 Active, Nexus 6, Pixel 2 XL with Tasker!
P3 features coming to other Pixel phones.
https://www.androidcentral.com/night-sight-coming-pixel-2-and-original-pixels
Yeah I want call screen!
Hopefully some clever dev gets it ported to pixel 2.
Both night sight and call feature is coming to pixel and pixel 2s. Not sure about the new playmojis but I'm sure once someone get their hands on the apks. We can install them on our pixels.

Yup. I just went through the event video again. Night Sight is at ~1:18 and Playground at 1:20.
Photo Booth, High Res, Motion Auto Focus, and new Portrait features are not clear in the video if yes or no. If it is a software feature, Google seems to deliver it to all Pixel phones. (fingers crossed)
https://blog.google/products/photos/keep-your-favorite-photos-date-live-albums/
At the bottom, it says - "These new editing features will be available on Pixel 3 and other phones that support portrait photos including Pixel 2 and Motorola phones such as the Moto G6."
So it confirms that the portrait editing shown WILL be on Pixel 2 devices too!
ALSO:
https://www.blog.google/products/go...fferently-playground-and-google-lens-pixel-3/
This states - " Google Lens is available on all Pixel devices, with Playground on Pixel 3 first and coming to Pixel 1 and 2 soon"
Therefore all older pixel devices will be getting Playground too!

Hell yeah!!
Any issues with the 6.1 camera apk on the pixel 2 xl? The APK targets a lower dpi than the phone's value.
I'll wait for the Pixel 3 ROM Port to Pixel 2 ?

After you take the photo, go to edit and in the second option look for depth. That's your blur setting
I use Nova launcher but they have the Pixel launcher and new clock and alarm here as well. I am using the clock from here.
Android Police: The Pixel Launcher from the Pixel 3 brings the Assistant button back [APK Download].

So this video is the pixel 3 camera APK installed on pixel 2 vs a normal pixel 3.
Apart from the results being exactly the same ( most of them ) my question is... Does that pixel 3 APK will come to our pixel 2 as an official update or we need to install an APK to have it ?
For those who want to see the comparison about pixel 2 with pixel 3 APK camera installed and regular pixel 2 camera I leave the link down below.
Let me know your thoughts and if you think we will have the update of the camera APK or if we need to download it and installed by ourselves.
I've installed it on my 2 XL yesterday.. I will have to get some time with it...
Pixel 2 XL using Tapa
Do you guys think Pixel 3 XL at $699 (discount of $200 off for Thanksgiving) is a better buy than OP 6T at $579? I have OP 6T, but has some annoying bus like widgets not refreshing, apps not sending notifications, wifi calling not working like Pixel 2 XL I had
OnePlus. I have none of those issues. Reset it.
I had a 3xl and sold it after using the 6T for a week!! Camera is the only thing I miss and the but an is pretty good.
That notch on the 3xl is redonk!!!
What about Pixel 3XL at $629.99 vs 6T? Verizon is offering $300 off with trade in
I love my 6t! Never had any of those problems you mentioned. Did you buy your 6t from T-Mobile? Their variant is already 5 updates behind the international variant I believe. I have the international variant and my software version is 9.0.5.
Also worth mentioning. The only thing I don't like about this phone is the speaker placement and the fact that it's just a single one, easily muffled. Hate that. Everything else is GREAT! The specs are simply better than the Pixel 3!

dont verizon lock their bootloaders with no chance of unlocking?
Im personally going back to my v30+
Phone is a heavy ass hell.
Pixel 2 XL owner here so I was able to make direct comparisons between the pixel and OP6T. Seen and played around with the Pixel 3 XL but simply hated the notch but Pixel 2 & 3 performance looks more or less the same. Sure, the notch can be hidden by the UI but that makes the screen estate smaller than the Pixel 2 XL (with a large forehead).
1. Pixel camera is generally better. Night mode on pixel looks better than OP6T and is more forgiving. If you don't have steady hands or can't keep the camera steady, OP6T cams will turn out blurry. Alternatively, just use GCam for nightmode on OP6T.
2. The extra RAM on the OP6T makes a big difference, unless you run 1-2 apps at a time and constantly terminate the apps.
3. The OP6T speakers suck. Pixels dual front-firing speakers are loud and clear which makes for better sounding calls and watching videos. Not an issue if you mostly use a headset like me.
4. FP unlock on the pixels are faster than OP6T. Would be nice if the OP6T has both front and back FP unlock.
Frankly speaking, I don't think the price on the Pixel 3s are justified. I chose the OP6T because its what I wanted the Pixel 3 to be - top-notch hardware with almost-stock android.

I did factory reset 3 times and still have same issue... It's just two apps having this issue and I didn't have that on Pixel 2 XL
Hi
Has anyone here done the hard cooling mod and if so what were the results? I am thinking of buying a brand new nexus 6p and doing the mod from the get go.
Also is the camera improved with pixel experience of any alternate camera apps?
Is the community behind the 6p here relatively active?
If you had a choice between a new nexus 6p or as new pixel xl which would you buy and why?
Well i don't know about the cooling mod but i would't chose too much over the two. Pixel is a newer phone with better camera and internals. The 6p still makes good shots with gcam.
