flickering camera when taking monitor screen pictures - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

left: pixel 2 xl right: nexus 6p
anyone with this problem? i need to take computer screens at work today and found out that my pixel 2 xl flickers very badly.
the black bars appears on the pictures too.... so it could not be the screen.
i don't have this problem when i'm on my 6P, is this normal on the pixel?

I have the same problem on my Pixel 1.

This happens with any camera; it depends on the refresh rate of the screen and camera. You could try changing your locale to the US or UK, depending on what you're on now. This usually changes the refresh rate of the camera.

Yeah, there are multiple threads at the Google Pixel forums about this. But don't waste your time going through them. They basically just say all phones have this, it's all in your head, reboot the phone, run it is safe mode. clear camera cache, blah, blah. Since nothing has been done about it since the phone came out, t is probably hardware and not software. I compared my Pixel 2XL to a Note 4 and Nexus 5X, and the pixel has the worst banding.
Here's a typical thread, though not the most annoying. In many, the shills will claim it is the same as all phones have, and repeat that over and over.

Manufacturing discrepancies

So I just just got my second Galaxy Nexus as my work phone. I also have one for personal use. My wife has one also, plus I returned my personal Gnex twice for screen problems.
I'm bored and I figured I would post the differences between the 3 we have at home, and the 2 I returned.
All 5 phones have been perfectly identical in 4g and 3g connecting, hardware performance etc. The only thing that has been different between all 5 phones are the screens. None of the screens have been equal to any of the others. Some have banding, some have purplish grays, while one had an issue with max brightness. Out of the three we currently have now, I would say that only one is near perfect, while the other 2 are adequate enough to keep (one produces banding on grays, and the other has purple tones associated with grey colors).
Why are all the screens so different? is it amoled? Is it just the GNEX? I have had plenty of LED, LCD, and CRT's monitors in the past, and a few amoled screens, but I haven't experienced anything like this before. I'm currently sitting in front of three identical LED monitors and they all produce the same effect on the same settings.

Should I warranty or try another ROM?

I bought my n7 LTE in early December 2013. I'm running Sinless ROM on it. Today these spots showed up on the screen. What do you recommend? Warranty with Google or ASUS or try another ROM first to see if it goes away? Crap, tried to show a screenshot but the spots dont show. I'll see if I can get a pic from my phone of it.

The pink dots are not reflection from background light. Any ideas?
I decided to RMA with Google. Cant live with these dots. Maybe the replacement will not have the touch issue im experiencing on this device. I will say, never another ASUS for me. Hopefully, Google goes with Samsung for another nexus device. Never had any problems with any Samsung device.
You will get a replace. All manufacturers have problems. Samsung had always bad batteries in my experience. The only one I didn't had problems with was HTC but their update policy is terrible. I think I will stick with Google devices no matter what manufacturer is.

In this case, it was clearly a hardware issue as the issue was persisting on the boot logo. Next time you have a concern though, definitely try a different ROM first. Eliminate all possible causes before sending it in for repair, or you'll be stuck waiting for the RMA process.

Screen issues on galaxy s3

Hello all!
I've had my s3 for 2 years now and about a week ago, I noticed that the screen has horizontal lines and the overall quality of the display is poor and fuzzy to where you cannot read text. If the background has black in it, it will show up with a green tint. If I don't turn on the display for a while, it will correct itself for a few seconds then the issue will start halfway up the screen and work it's way to the top. I took it to sprint to have a tech look at it, but he just dismissed me and told me I must have dropped it (I haven't ) and said I'll need to go through insurance..I've managed to take a picture of the issue to show the difference. If anyone knows of a fix that doesn't require a whole new display, I would be very grateful! Thank y'all

Screen defects

I recently purchased a n7 and upon opening the box I noticed the issues with the bevel on the glass. The screen seems to be operating properly so it seems to be mostly aesthetic, but I'm was curious if this defect with the glass was common and I should hold onto this otherwise fine device or if this is fair uncommon and I should take advantage of the return policy.

80+ views and not a single nexus 7 owner can confirm or deny the presence of defects on their personal devices. Thanks for the input guys.

Is this comment necessary? This isn't a very busy forum so sometimes it can take a while for questions to get answered.
That said, my N7 doesn't have this problem. I am the type of guy who will keep exchanging a device until I get one that's flawless. If I were in your situation that's exactly what I would do.
Maybe it's some refurbished model with changed screen or something, but it's definitely uncommon issue.

HTC 10 Screen Defect?

What is happening to my phone!? I dont even know how to search for this. The LCD still works fine. Touch works fine. Its almost like something is separating internally causing a contrast difference in this odd, blotchy pattern among the pixels. A white screen shows the issue the best. Less back light makes it harder to detect. It was just slightly noticeable in the upper corner 24 hours ago.... now its 20 times worse! I got this phone from Verizon the day it came out. It is unlocked using Sunshine and running Viper10 and has been since I got it unlocked. Cant imagine that has anything to do with this though...
Has anyone else ever seen this or know what it is or what causes it??? I am at a loss here.

Wow, not one response in almost 2 weeks... Has no one ever seen this before on any device!?
As strange as this was, whats even stranger is that the phone has healed itself! The screen is now 100% back to normal. I have no ideas what happened, but ill take it!
That's awkward
