How to avoid Screen Burn in? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Not trying to beat a dead horse here, but was having trouble navigating threads to find actual solutions. I know the Burn in problem is common... and I am receiving my phone soon. Even though it's covered under Warranty, I'd like to avoid the hassle of sending it in for repair.
What are current known ways to avoid burn-ins?
Is updating to 8.1 preview good enough? Is there a way other than updating to 8.1 preview?

Substratum/Andromeda and load up N Navbar Pro. Switch to the dark gray Navbar. Nice and dim and should help.
Supposedly Google is going to be fading out the Navbar in 8.1 which is nice too.

Thanks! Ill try the Substratum/Andromeda method.
Yeah I heard the 8.1 Preview was a "fix" however I hate going beta and back on my main device

If youre familiar with SDK and/or are comfortable running cmd commands, you can put the whole device into immersive mode (hiding of nav and status bar) without having to root it. (the thread says the regular pixel, but its the same for our phones as well)

That's the first thing I'm going to do when I receive my device tomorrow :good:

You could also use System UI from the App Store. Has an option for this and works great.

Also custom navigation bar from the play store thats what im using had to swap back and recents

And make the static color as bright as you can handle.

never hide softkeys

Hi,
i've tried to do a few searches but can't find anything about SHOWING the soft keys all the time.
See the thing is, this phone is for the mother-in-law and she's 71 so it needs to be as simple as possible. She wants to play games like temple run but doesn't understand the concept of swipe the top to get the home button to show up so I'd like to have the bottom bar always visible, even in immersive mode.
Any ideas please?
Cheers
I should probably include that it's stock 14.6.A.0.368 (this probably needs updating, but I'm looking for how to do that at the moment and confusing myself lol) and is rooted.
Xposed module 'App Settings' - go to the app you want, full-screen>prevent. I think you have to do it for each one. You probably can force it across the board with build prop, but I think the other way is best.
I can cope with that... Is there an easy guide for my firmware version to install xposed? I don't want to brick it again lol
Cheers

Flash this in recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3580244&d=1450386592 Then install this apk - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3383776&d=1435601440 Then open Xposed app and go to 'download' and search for 'app settings'. Note that the first boot after flashing the zip will be long and finish with 'optimizing apps' dialog, which will take several minutes. Make sure your battery level is good.
Always a good idea to backup first.

Oh yeah, and any time you install a new module in Xposed, it won't be active until you reboot.
Absolutely smashing, thanks. I've flashed the zip and now I'm waiting for it to load up, then I'll install the apk and find the module.
Cheers
Unfortunately that didn't work Things like Temple Run still go full screen and the navigation bar disappears.

Strange... Is the module working in general? Did you check the box in 'modules' screen in Xposed? I tested it on several apps and it was good...
I don't think so... It's ticked and I've rebooted and all that. The Adblocker module I found is working fine. Strange.
Perhaps I'm missing something. Any suggestions please? lol!! It's winding me up big time :/

Are you sure? Reading the description that seems to do the opposite to what I want?
I want the navigation bar to be visible even in full screen mode. The girlfriend's mum can't grasp the concept of swipe to show the navigation and she keeps forgetting when we tell her, so by having it always visible we remove that obstacle

There's a 'blacklist' function which you can apply to chosen apps. I can't say if it will work on your specific game or not. The Xoosed module I mentioned works great for me with Camera, but I guess it didn't work for your game. I think with play store you can return a purchase within 15 minutes or something...
Don't know how I missed that. I'll give it a bash, Many thanks!
That didn't work either unfortunately

Well, after some reading, it seems clear that it is coded into the programming, and you'd have to rewrite the ROM to entirely disable it. From app to app, you probably could decompile and mod the apk so it doesn't call on the function. I did read that Gravity Box from Xposed has an immersive mode toggle, but I can't test it, since GB doesn't work on CM ROM. Check that out.
Thanks for your help so far. I tried GB but it didn't work either. Bloody annoying.
Perhaps another approach would be double tap the power switch to return home? Do you know if something like this exists please?
Thanks again for all the input and suggestions so far.

Hey I just discovered UDN (ultimate dynamic navbar). Install it, go to ssettings>general>special modes. Check 'toggle mode' and uncheck 'hide on outside touch'. The navbar will never go away. The only problem is that it sits Right there over anything else, blocking whatever you might want to touch down there, so maybe not a total fix. How eve, there's also more configurations you can mess with that might at least be an improvement.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...ggbMAA&usg=AFQjCNEq8r_Pm6GfpwU6u7O8w_Uh5UwLUg
I think I tried that as well, but like you say, it gets in the way. It got in the way and I didn't look any more into it. I'll give it a go and look more at it when I get home from work. Cheers.

Pixel XL Burn In Problems

Ok so I went on YouTube and was watching a white out video and notice my nav bars burned into my screen anyone else having this issue Google is offering a replacement but I didn't know with me being unlocked it would void me ?
unlocking doesnt void your warranty. just relock the bootloader before sending git back
i would recommend setting the navbar to immersive mode to prevent burnins
Still trying to find a decent solution to this.
On stock, immersive mode sucks. In certain applications it's immediately hidden as you try and swipe it up making it useless. Disabling the nav bar in build prop causes system and random application failures.
Switch to paranoid Android hoping pie was usable this early in, but it still needs work.
I'm afraid of screen burn because I have had multiple AMOLED panels and phone do so.
I slightly noticed it on my pixel the other day after I gave up looking for a solution. What I did is I ran one of those burn in fix apps (which actually helped) then I switched to pure Nexus.
In pure Nexus I just disable the nav bar, install LMT for pie controls, and keep the status bar immersive. This keeps everything fully functional and definitely more resistant to burn in
The navbar isn't burnt in, everything but the navbar is burnt.

I'd rather not replace my pixel though. I do not have a card that they can place a $700 hold on, and I can't send my phone first and be without a phone. I actually have a cracked back glass, and even though I have insurance I just dont want to deal with the process

Reasons you switched back to Oreo

It's just been 30hrs I'm on PIE and i already miss xposed lol and wondering whether i can't survive without it or not, given that animations are really smooth and i like them and battery life for me has improved since no ' Xposed ', so I'm still in a doubt what to do
Why did you guys switched back to oreo?
I didn't yet, but basically i hate two things:
Chrome cannot be downgraded to version 65 and so I'm unable to use address bar on the bottom;
Recent apps view. That thing makes me wanna smash the phone into a wall around 5 times per day. This is by far the most annoying so called feature ever. I hate it. Hate it.
The Split screen was also ruined by ****ing recent apps view.
What i like is the magnifying cursor and the new screenshots editing function, which is really cool.
And the sound controls I don't mind.
By the way, is there any chance to have the latest security patches if i go back to Oreo?

If you go back to July 8.1, your security patches are likely done since google is now on 9.0. As are the kernel and rom developers.

Oh you will most definitely have to do a clean install and wipe to downgrade my friend. Hahahahahaha...I bet you'll be backing your device up once a week after what happened the other day. That's not a bad habit to have though :good:
I try not to flash backwards Plus a like the taste of Pie!
Just to add, I've not yet decided to upgrade to Pie as I just love RR at the moment too much to want to give up this rom, with all its features and my current setup! I've got it running so smooth, doing all the things I like, with all the little features I need, with a battery life that keeps up with my demands. So given I'd only but lose out with some features, it ain't worth the upgrade for me right now.
Plus indeed this new recents app sounds horrible! Can it be reverted back to the old one, is it compulsory??
When RR Pie gets released, with all the current Oreo features and fully working apps/theme etc. THEN I may be temped to try it out...
My 8.1 OS had trouble booting, bootloops, and messages of corruption. So I upgraded to 9.0 and things have been pretty good except for a WiFi tethering bug with my PS4, other devices connect properly but multiple PS4s either drop connection and get just a few kbps. Probably going to downgrade because of that
I switched because I need to have Viper with Dolby

does substratum work?

Can anyone confirm that Substratum themes work on this phone?
Substratum wont work on this phone until we have root. Android Pie only allows Substratum to work on rooted phones due to Google's deletion of the overlay management service.
Cool, thank you. It's working on other rooted devices running Pie right? So it's a pretty good shot it'll just work once we have root?

Oh yeah any other device running Pie that is rooted Substratum should work fine depending on the theme. Once we get root we should be good to go.

They probably wont ever say but they dont like us tinkering around with their apps. There was a petition to keep OMS in Pie but they just ignored it and decided, as they usually do, to do what they want. Its the same thing with the Old style navbar,,,the code was there like OMS, just leave it in there for users to use it if they want. I have been with Android since it started and the "freedoms" we once enjoyed are being slowly eroded and choices taken away. Pretty soon we will be Apple and everything will be proprietary.
Annnnd yet another feature taken away from us! I mean really,,,I use this feature just about everyday and now its gone probably like this Pixel 3 will be when I send it back to Google!

I think they just blocked 3rd party overlays, not dropped OMS completely. IF there was no OMS, then Substratum wouldn't work properly, right? A ROM would need the necessary commits from Subs team (frameworks, etc), like we had to do with Nougat. Yet, you can run it on stock AOSPie, as long as you're rooted.
I may have it wrong, lol, I know I'm just ready to get my P3XL
Root is hopefully right around the corner and then Substratum can work,,,cant wait!

Swift Black on the 3 XL is a God send
Now in all the System and Google apps, you can't even tell there's a notch. Everything has a beautiful silky black look, and you just see the time in upper left and network info in upper right, and no idea there's even a notch in the middle as everything is black which totally hides the notch completely, but it's nice to see that info in the upper corners, makes the screen look like it goes all the way to the edge.

Unless the procedure is different on the P3XL as compared to my P2XL on Pie, the procedure is as follows.
Install the latest substratum from the play store, and grant it root and storage permissions.
Download a quality theme, and there are several.
Open substratum and tick the theme you want to apply.
Select "build and update" to create the overlays you want. Once done, reboot the phone, then go to substratum again, open the manager, then check your overlays, and select enable.
That should do it :good:
I think someone already answered but most forget to go back into Substratum and click enable on all the overlays that you built previously then rebooted. Its not like Oreo where all you had to do was just build and enable. Now, you have to build and enable then reboot and go back into manager and enable the built overlays again.

I am themed on the Swift series, but I did not know about this rebooting and enabling again.

Can confirm themes work just have to reboot after applying them and re enable them after reboot.
If I may ask how did you change the navbar ? And put those icons ?
I made a Google doc and posted the link below for my themes to help people that may run into problems,,,if you scroll down the last page there is a guide to enable the old style navbar. The icons are part of my Substratum theme Amazed Navbars.

Just Got My Red Magic 5 - Software Limitations

This is the Global version that just came out a couple of days ago. Some minor annoyances that was hoping to get some help on:
1. There seems to be no way to display the battery percentage.
Does anyone know of a system app that I need to disable to get this to work? None of the solutions online work with the Red Magic 5G overlay with Android 10, and I don't want to install a third party widget to get this done.
2. As far as I know, I can't customize the lock screen outside of a wallpaper.
Just shows a general date and time but I would like to put widgets or additional information if possible. If anyone has any insight let me know.
I know the phone just came out, but these two issues are EXTREMELY annoying. I honestly might have to flash this when a method becomes available because I'm definitely not liking the lack of customization Nubia has put on with their Android 10 overlay.
May i ask of yours is passing safety net?

Regarding #1, you are screwed. I've seen this mentioned a few times on different YouTube reviews. Regarding #2, you are correct. But even more surprising and ridiculous is #3, which I'll add here. It appears Nubia is forcing you to use the stock launcher! Yes, that's right, it's currently IMPOSSIBLE to use ANY launcher other than the one that comes out of the box. Nubia has said that this is INTENTIONAL! CRAZY!
I have battery percentage on mine.
Settings > power management > electricity percentage.
There is no settings > power management
Yeah same don't have those options.
Also can't figure out how to access APN settings
I've read that the only way to see % battery is to activate AOD, and the % will be displayed.
Best regards.
You have the latest firmware. My god the launcher is so buggy and bad. They really should let you use whichever launcher you want. Also no setting to change screen dpi or size and it doesn't even have the android 10 notifications. You can't expand or delete or reply from notification drawer. This is really really poor
What versions does everyone have.
I am NX659J_ENCommon_V4.05
Pulse version of phone.
I have no power management options.
I can reply in line to notification in the notification tray.
How is your Wifi speed? I have tried mine on 2Ghz and 5Ghz and I only get about 30MB down, whereas my Honor View 20 gets 100MB.
Launcher is fine once you have it all setup, but kept saying shortcut already exists. If you rebooted you see they are there.
Now I have it all as want it, thats not really an issue now, but not a great setup experience.

Launcher is fine once you have it all setup, but kept saying shortcut already exists. If you rebooted you see they are there.
Now I have it all as want it, thats not really an issue now, but not a great setup experience.

Hmm that's interesting.
Here is my screenshot.
UK delivery yesterday.
Was up to date when I got it.

That's so weird no updates available for mine also
Battery Meter Overlay was the only app that I found to be able to show the battery % (choose the "Overlap the Statusbar" option). You have to buy the paid version if you want to hide it in full screen mode. It is not perfect, but it is better than nothing. You can choose from different kind of themes and change the colours, scale and position so it is pretty customizable
I already new about Nubia blocking the use of custom launchers (saw a review where it was mentioned) before buying the phone and wrote them about it and asked them to revert this bad decision (and I also told them to fix the missing battery %). I hope you all write them about it as well, so they know that they have to fix these issues. And if they don't allow the use of custom launchers they have to give us a better stock launcher with much better customizability.
Do different models have different firmware?
Have they ever pushed an update in previous versions?
Anyone getting poor WiFi speeds?
Mine is just about 30mb down on 5ghz WiFi when my other phone pushes 100mb.
Tried 2ghz even worse.
Thanks

Hi, anyone have any idea when will the global rom be released? Waiting to flash on my CN set..
Just noticed. All incoming calls are showing as "unknown" doesn't even show the caller number.
On O2 in the UK.
Anyone seeing this?
Thanks
