Hey, this forum is pretty dead, but anyways..
Few days ago I got an update to Fossil Q app on the watch. After update, ambient modes for all stock fossil watchfaces has been changed to plain black and white!! For example, Fred watchface emulated a fluorescent glow of hands when in ambient mode, but after update, it became only plain black and white outlines.. UGLY AS HELL! I uninstalled the update immediately, luckily that was possible.
What a horrible idea! Why Fossil did this? Who thought it was a good idea??

I believe it was done because the Q Explorist and Q Venture are amoled screens. Since they use the same app, they did that to prevent burn in.

Went to store earlier for a last minute pre-order and they has stock in, so I've now got a black one!
It's lovely - excellent screen (nicer than my G4), really solid build and first impressions are fast. Very excited to get to know it over the next few days!

Please share your battery experience
I'll share battery info but am off work the next few days so it won't be representative.
Camera seems good. Not tried low light. Definitely not going to take a picture of a grid because snaps so far look good and if I calibrate it and then see some distortion on the grid it'll annoy me unnecessarily. If I really need pictures of objects with minimal distortion then no camera phone is suitable so in my mind no point looking for flaws in a phone that's giving me a great first impression.
Are you on T-Mobile USA, if so, does VoLTE work on your phone?
I'm in the UK. Just got the new firmware update too. Still good impression after using it today.
Got mine as well, went for the Blue version. Had the XZ and the XZ1 is a good improvement, much quicker, a bit lighter and nicer overall. Also got the XZ Premium which I find a bit unwieldy in comparison. I'd been looking forward to the XZ1 coming out and am not disappointed. I loved the XZ so I knew in advance I'd really like the XZ1.
Decent battery - not a normal day's use. But about 3 hours screen on time and still 53% left.
Screen auto dim is a bit annoying. It doesn't change as smoothly as the g4 but seems to stutter. This a Sony thing?
anyone else with a blue one? The paint/finish on the back of mine looks like it a bit thin...there's a wispy/straggly bit all the way down the middle which is visible when tilted and it's annoying me
I'm on the black one, they only had that and silver in stock and I didn't like the look of the silver from the front. Had planned on getting a blue if they had one though!

'The auto backlight mode is jittery, though. It flickers up and down rather than doing so smoothly. I’ve found it a bit distracting when reading an article on the train. Go through a tunnel and the Xperia XZ1 looks like it’s having a breakdown. Let’s hope Sony fixes this with an update.'
http://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/sony-xperia-xz1
Thanks for the link on the review. If it's being commented on in reviews then hopefully Sony will sort out the screen.
Using it today, the phone is definitely responsive. And no stuttering over Bluetooth. That was driving me mad on the g4
How's the camera guys? I'm thinking of buying it but not sure because of the distortion issue.
Blue one for me also coming from the green Z5 I love this one.! Two things I notice though 'where are the small apps and why is the nfc icon in the status bar!'
So I just received my Sony XZ1 compact, and I was hoping someone could help me with these three questions:
- how can I check my lockscreen (notifications) when using the fingerprint sensor? (It immediately unlocks...)
- two triangles appear left of the WiFi icon (in the statusbar) when data is being transferred, shifting the position of the vibrate icon; is there any way to prevent this? (It's rather distracting)
- vibration is really noisy, can others with an XZ1 compact confirm?
Thanks!

Use a different finger or try to puss the button using the minimum of your finger just to see the lockscreen. I had the same problem and solve it like this
Hello,
the notification led is very weak/dark on my Honor 10.. It is nearly impossible to notice. Is there any way to make it brighter?
Thanks!

buy fitness band or pebble, no workaround unless you wanna replace LED by yourself

I'm surprised no reviewers mentioned this. It's absolutely useless. It's the smallest they could possibly add to get it ticked off on the spec sheet. One of a few reasons that I've returned mine.
That and the lazy fingerprint reader...i suppose i'm gonna to return mine too
I just ordered one without any review mentioning this. I'm mostly in slightly dark environments, even being so small, can you still see it in the dark? The fingerprint should be fixed with updates but the led won't, só I hope it won't be a deal breaker.
In a dark room, I could see it, but only if I was looking at the phone almost face on. With it in the bedside table I couldn't notice it. It's unbelievably small.

hardly visible even in compete darkness, no chance in any brighter environment
A minor workaround to check for notification quickly that I've found is to enable the option "Pick up to wake up device". Hidden under Smart assistance > motion control > pickup.
This should make us less reliant on the notification led. instead, we just lift the phone up to have the lockscreen light up to show us the notifications.
Tried using light flow or light manager to control the led color. When I test in light manager it uses the selected color but otherwise it doesn't. Hope it gets fixed on the July update. GPU turbo!
Unfortunately the new firmware that brings the gpu turbo "thing" didn't change anything on the led. Not brighter nor visible... What a flaw
i just bought Amazfit Bip, the battery life it's insane, if you don't use GPS it can last easily one month without charging with 24/7 notifications and heart rate reading every ten minutes plus pedometer
if you don't intend to wear anything on wrist and need notifications, don't buy this phone
Hi all,
I've received my Amazfit Bip in Light Gray yesterday. Judging from the pictures online, before I purchased the watch, I thought it would look almost like white and make it stand out positively among the Apple Watch crowd, but now that I've received it, the light gray makes it look like kinda cheap and plasticy... I'm wondering if I should return it and get the black version instead.
Have you seen the Amazfit Bip in both colors? Does the black one look less cheap and less plasticy? It's really hard to judge from the pictures online...
Thanks!
Wolfgang
So i swapped my first device kinda wish i hadent as the screen was great.
New device has green tint anything below 10% (this i can just about live with as i just raise brightness). However i recently noticed in direct sunlight yesterday that i can barely see screen and it tints purple (yes i have adaptive brightness on)
Now something really strange in bright sunlight when a shadow casts across a white screen , the shadow against screen is green has anyone else noticed this ......?
.
hard to capture properly as spare phone is an old iphone but the green shadow is from my hand which can be observed above , also notice how the white tints to purple.

Well the green tint below 10% i don't experience with my phone.
The other notion/complaint, is just natural properties of an OLED panel, all my previous phones had the purple in sunlight tint.
probably the brighter sunlight reflecting in one of the physical layers of the panel. Nothing you can get rid off unless you want LCD.

Look, the picture you took in sunlight is normal behavior and physics.
The low light low brightness pictures are indeed not normal, indeed should be exchanged for another device!

exactly the same as on mine.. will probably send it back
Just got new phone July batch , first impressions are a lot less green tint ..... thank god June panel was a joke July panel I think its still there just a lot less this time ... will see later this evening and post picture back.
black bar across top i can see but not to bothered about this in all honesty.
Colours have to admit whites are cleaner as a result but rest look to be calibrated identical to last panel.
I think my first panel dated May was the best colours just seemed to wow instantly , everyone who saw phone commented on display in a positive manner.
** dupe post del
Here, this is how mine looks like at min brightness: green tint and horizontal bar
Sending it back

Seems to be some QC issues, I'd suggest getting a replacement, I can't see any of these issues on my device personally

Might that be because your device is prior to May on build?
I think it’s pointless replacing now I’ve had three models and it seems inherent now from my own experiences.
Do you use dark mode?
Sorry for the questions just trying to get some feedback
I’m only speculating but my latest device also has it my only device which didn’t have it was built in May , I’m wondering if the early batches had good panels for reviews etc and they cheaped out after that to bring production costs down (speculation as I say) but seen this before with other companies.
One thing I’ve noticed on my latest device is it goes a lot brighter than my previous June model. I’m thinking if I want to keep this device, I’m going to have use light mode which is a shame, if we had root we could just black out all the grey parts like status bar notifications etc and mask issue.

not sure about your theory abt early batches; my device's QC date is April 22 and yet I have display issues
seems this type of issues are pretty common with this panel which is used by both Oppo and OnePlus

I dont think there`s much point swapping its like looking for a unicorn either return and try a device without this samsung panel or find a way to live with it sadly :/

yep, seems so.. a lottery
the thing is that I can see this issue only at very low brightness, somewhere below ~15%
and in everyday use the display is perfect (I anyway always use light theme)
but then again it bothers me knowing it is there
on the fence now:
send the Oppo back (already have return label) and try luck again with OP8 Pro (order placed, should be dispatched tomorrow; I sent back my first OP 8 for a refund due to same display issues)
or just live with it, keep Oppo and cancel OP 8 order...

Hold onto oppo await OnePlus if it's green then decide on which phone to keep or return both ... Less swaps

I cancelled OP8 order that day as I thought that I can live with Oppo's screen. But I can't, so I sent it back today.
Ordered OP8 pro again, it is arriving tomorrow. Will update once received, fingers crossed.

so, got my 2nd OP8 pro y'day and the black bar is there and green tint at low brightness as well. QC date is May 28th, the same was for my first OP8 pro
this is my 3rd device with same panel and same issues (2x OP8 pro, 1x Find X2 pro)
As the title said is this normal, I'm really not familiar with how pixel handles animation but refer to the video attached, this is also happening inside the settings when I tap something from there. Thanks! this is my 2nd Pixel Device and I don't know if it's really made like that or just an android 12 thing I just want to be sure. Thank you!
Pixel 6 Animation Video.
Lol, just the new charge animation. Very normal. I'm glad I got here first.

Thanks for the response that's what I thought first haha that it's a bug from A12 then a new update came it's still there my 2nd thought that it's the fault of my oled panel but knowing it's normal, I can finally find peace hahaha. Pixel devices are not really available here in my country so warranty is very limited that's why I'm really keen on finding something bad about my unit so that It can get replace quickly before the personal warranty given expires but so far my unit is flawless and the worst case I thought as a problem is this animation
You will see several other flaws with the screen but this is also normal unfortunately.. Like a rainbow effect on the white colors depending on the viewing angle, and a green tint on the grays..
This Oled panel is not that good tbh, it's better on the pro version
