If they're going to wait until Spring, they might as well wait for Pixel 3. Google and LG f**ked up. Again.
If they're going to wait until Spring, they might as well wait for Pixel 3. Google and LG f**ked up. Again.I was finally able to get pictures of my burn in to prove to Google that my second pixel 2 has it. They are sending me a new one this week. Honestly unless they change the screen I think they all will burn in quickly. Some people are going to wait until the spring to order a phone just to see if they changed anything in the screen hardware.

That's good to hear, I hope my next one that comes in is the same. I had no other issues with the phone honestly. It's ashame that the screen is the the way it is. They should have used better panels.FWIW, my screen is fine. No burn in.
I agree. In the long run helping LG should benefit everyone because they are the only company that can compete with Samsung on OLED displays. Apple and Google investing in LG's display business is a good move, but considering Google probably won't sell a lot of Pixels compared to other flagships, I think they should have bitten the bullet and just paid for Samsung panels.That's good to hear, I hope my next one that comes in is the same.

Except if they were to go with a different model screen they would publicly have to say that would they? I dont see them doing a recall really. But there is 2 years of warranty so if I see it again later when it burns in I'll just RMA again.That's what I plan on doing.
FYI - the November Update is available
for what its worth my pixel 1 XL has burn in if I load a grey screen and look where the on screen buttons are at.
I've heard that but burned in after 2-3 weeks of use at 20% brightness is pretty bad.I'd love some of the Pixel 2's "fixes" to be pushed to the 1's as well. Ever OLED phone I've owned has had burn in to some degree or other, though some far less than others.

I dislike that they are going with those amorphous descriptions instead of something more concrete and definitive. (e.g. sRGB, Adobe RGB, DCI-P3) Particularly, I do not like that Google helps perpetuating the notion of "sRGB = Natural" when there is nothing "natural" about sRGB. (or smartphone display in general except maybe for camera viewfinder)Update took a long time to install.
Update includes Display Colors - Natural, Boosted(Vibrant) and Saturated. Not sure I like Saturated. Too saturated though reviews say it's less saturated than Samsungs. Wish there was an option between Boosted and Saturated.
It is just a nature of the technology. You know, kind of like every CPU has different overclock potential. I have a Note 3 with a faint burn-in at the top of the screen (status/notification bar). I can only make that out with solid color wallpaper.AMOLED burn in really freaks me out. I have it on my Note 4 if I look really hard on a white background. It will only get worse in time.
Curiously, my old Galaxy S5 has 0 burn in to this day. Why is that? I abused the crap out the display far more.
My friends that have Verizon or ATT got it. I have metro pcs which is basically TMobile. No one from TMobile has gotten it yet. Tmobile has to approve it first then it's sent out.Do you have to manually install the update? I haven't received any prompt for it yet, even when manually checking.
Interesting. I'm fine waiting, was just curious about how it worked.My friends that have Verizon or ATT got it. I have metro pcs which is basically TMobile. No one from TMobile has gotten it yet. Tmobile has to approve it first then it's sent out.
I thought the check for update button would override any other action and push the update regardless. At least that's what I read in an article at one point.
It could just take some more time for it to roll out to everyone. You could side load it since that's available although the images are not yet.
Actually don't side load anything because I'm not sure if those side load packages are for TMobile. One guy flashed an ota package and lost VOLTE, ended up with poor call quality. Probably because it wasn't specific to TMobile.Interesting. I'm fine waiting, was just curious about how it worked.
