Just keep trying. Gotta make the argument convincing. Also, I just do it through the chat function on the phone. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

I've gotten brand new replacements via RMA due to a variety of known defects. My first replacement was approved well past the 15 day cut off. When you contact support, you make the case that the device is unusable. They won't do RMAs for the blue shift as I've heard it from several reps that...

Can you put up some pics of the display head on and at an angle? Thanks.

Boom. 7th time is the charm. Mfg. Date October 25th. Old was made on October 16th. Night and day difference. The one on the left shifts from a more redish hue to a cool white one. The one on the right goes from a yellow/green hue to a blue. Also, the insane speaker crackle is non existent and...

He's talking about a fix for the flashing that happens when the phone is unlocked.

Yeah everyone else has told me the same thing lol. I guess it's becoming the whole definition of insanity bit. Google did offer me a full refund. I guess I still have faith that I'll get lucky and get a decent phone.

Friend came over with his 128GB Black version(same as mine). His was made on the same day as mine, October 16th. Here's the shocking aspect. His phone has almost no visible blue shift, and zero speaker rattle(played same video at same volume). The display itself even looks much clearer than...

What you're seeing is probably the black crush issue. There is an app that somewhat mitigates that called Screen Balance. Here is a vid on it from Brandon @ This is Tech Today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIt363ZtWtQ&t=168s

Friend of my just got his PXL2 128GB black and was over yesterday. His phone was made on the same day as mine, Oct. 16. His has no distortion(played same exact video at max volume) from the bottom speaker and almost no blue shift. Talk about insane. I promptly followed up with another RMA. Here...

I'll have to try again later. I already got rid of Magisk as I ran into an issue with sideloading the newest OTA.

That's what I did. It seemed like it worked for a sec, then dreaded red exclamation came back. I already ran dueces script and that fixed it.

I had the Jan update on my phone. Rooted w/Magisk to fix the audio crackling. Figured I'd update to the Feb update since there were some features that Google added. Well, that turned out to be a bad idea. After flashing the unmodified boot.img per these instructions...

Might be a noob question, but flashing both a and b partitions with the dueces script; does that screw things up if I need to return everything to stock for something like an RMA?

Ok, well can you provide more info on what version and settings you're using? Just like the other poster, can't get -6.8db to stick. Is there anything else we need to have enabled? Even at -6.7 mine rattles like crazy. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Update. This fix is useless. Doesn't work anymore. Just played a YouTube video and its just as terrible as before. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
