It shows .. but very faint ? can't even RMA as the phone is not officially sold in the country i live in (Dubai). Purchased though an online site ?

Is it in the left corner?
I'm facing an issue of a grey area. When i spoke with a Google person, he said it might be because of the beta

I have attached a picture for reference...

Have you looked at the lens closely to see if there is any dust on or under the lens?

And this happens with regular, non-pano shots too right?

It's towards the left side .. more like a spot . Few people told me it's hardware issue. Tried uploading a pic .. not getting uploaded. Thanks mate.

This is the spot you're talking about right? I highlighted it by circling and drawing an arrow. It's interesting it's not in your panoramic pic multiple times but maybe it's getting cropped out. Is it in that spot only while holding the phone vertically and then moves when taking a pic horizontal?

It appears in all pictures but doesn't appear multiple times in pano. Actually never observed that in a long pano. When I spoke with a Google executive, he mentioned he cannot help as I was using a beta version. He asked me to revert to 8.1 and see if the issue still persists...I haven't tried it yet

[FIX] Fix the yellowish screen tint!

Warning!!! As someone commented he was totally unaware of this problem until he used this fix and it destroyed his experience with his phone
[REQ]Any developer that could help me with something? I want to make this app matching system UI with ready filters and put it in Setting so that it will look integrated like the galaxy screen settings, that would help ppl think the screenproblem is just a soft problem and doesn't depend on hardware. Please be kind and PM me
As many have noticed, and even made some ppl crazy is the yellow tint on our screen(HTC One X, Xperia Ion, S etc).
Searching for screen filtering at play store made my day!
Then i found this app: LINK
I installed it and then made a filter with:
Red 0
Green 0
Blue 6-8
Brightness: 100%
Contrast: -0
That made me feel like replacing the whole screen!
Second thing you should do is:
Press the MENU-button and go in to Options
Autorun [YES]
Hide status bar icon [YES]
Enjoy your screen! :victory:

Hmm, these problems happened to some people i know who bought the HOX at release, or close to release. The manufaturers sent them a letter with apology and that they have the right to claim a new device if they return them.
Some had extreme color defects, others had very sesitive screens(tapping on the side would make the screen look like when tapping on a LCD TV, color disorder).
What you have is not the default yellow tint i meant, our screens if you compare to others is a bit more yellow by default, you have some kind of disorder, either you should return it for service or you should try this app: LINK

Hi dude! Ofcourse i remember! Hows it going developing? Im glad to hear from you again! And I see you have earned a nice title! Congratulations! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Yes I know the difference but this is a a discovery for me.
Thanks..
Tested the app you posted.. Great idea indeed.. But I found the little yellow tint that I have on the screen more comfortable with warm and more saturated colors than any other device.

How do I know if I have tint issues?
My screen seems beautiful?
Unfortunately, I had yellow tint issue too. Since it was a hardware problem, I waited 3 weeks for the technical service to change the entire screen.
Now I'm a happy HOX user with no screen issues

If you are happy with your screen then don't try this, just an advice

I'd always been a bit annoyed by my yellow hue - and this app works to removed it 100%
Would be nice to have a way of making this change without needing to use a separate app.
exactly.. and app causes lag too.. when enabled. i m on jellybean.

I never received one of these letters, wonder how I go about sorting this out as I have two dots at the bottom corners of the phone, I just put up with them, probably too late to do anything about it now though.

Friend, you have the right to claim a full refund or replacement in two years since you bought the phone, and you have ALL RIGHTS to get it fixed
What´s best to do:
Take your reciept and phone to your seller and describe the problems you've got, they will by force take it back and fix the problem totally for free!
If they refuse to fix the problem, then you should turn to the consumer advisors in your country as the right is by your side, but Im sure you wont have to

Small almost translucent gray circle

When I take a picture and the background is solid, I see a small, gray circle as I focus, and when I take the picture, it is in the picture. Any thoughts as to where this is coming from and what to do about it? I cleaned the lens, but it's still there. If I can figure out how to add a picture, I'll post one so you can see what I'm seeing. The photos are on my laptop if you can tell me how to post them on here. Thanks so much!
Put it on a site like imgur or you can download the XDA app, login, and upload from your phone.

Looks like a dead pixel on the screen. About all you can do is RMA it.
its very possible you have dust on the inside of the camera glass cover, or even on the lens itself.
is the blotch always in the same spot relative to the picture dimensions?

Probably a defect in the screen. I would get it replaced.

I think this is a problem with Android P beta. I'm having similar issue and we even had a thread about it. Though I contacted Google, they were of no help because of the beta. I'm waiting for the official up to see if the issue gets resolved...

But you're assuming the OP is on Android P beta.

Bought it from Thailand. It is officially available in many countries in South East Asia. Here it is sold together with MPen.
The only model available here is 128/6 GB. Google assistant works well.
I still havent play much with it so I could not really tell all pros and cons. One thing I notice right away was that the display is grainy, though higher ppi than iPhone Xr but its noticeably grainy I would say. Coming from LG G7, I do hate Huawei Emui launcher.

Yes it is. Earlier I talked to many people about this and many say its ok. I just tried to say that it looks worse in comparison to iPhone Xr but its your eyes to decide if its ok or not. People coming from WQHD might notice this more I guess.

I have to agree with this comment. The grainy description had me rolling eyes too. Grainy? you must have the eyes of a hawk
Price paid? Did you get silver or blue? Is silver as purplish as it looks?

My screen is awesome! Not grainy at all... Maybe change your theme... My son has the iPhone XS Max 6.5 inch and is sick and wished he had waited for the Mate 20 X
Does the 20 X have a notification led or a always on display? Thank you!

It is a more feminine lilac in my opinion. Even the fingerprint reader is a very light purple. I sold my Chinese silver and bought the international model which only comes in midnight blue from Splendor for $868 USD.

Irritating Sound from The Camera module

When i knock the phone near the rear camera lens i heard some sort of sound like the lens were loosely fitted...Please confirm it to me once...Thanks

That's perfectly normal IMO. I have heard these similar sounds in Samsung flagships and other OEMs before at different places. Enjoy your device till the time it is under warranty and it doesn't has any adverse effect on the day to day device functionality.
Sent from my SM-A505F using Tapatalk
Wow i thought i am the only one. Yes it does make a rattling around .. even if i drop the phone on my bed from ≥15-20cm. And also if you tap on the area beside the camera lens, you get to hear a blank tapping sound. Is it so?

Correct !
Yep. It makes the sound...
Hey, not you not me but every A50 user is reporting this to samsung and it said that it just a sound from the lens which is used for autofocus. So nothing to worry about it ?
I am facing the same issue. Rattling sound when I tap the backside of the phone.
What can be done for this? It has increased from last week.

Colour shifting

I just bought op 7t and i noticed that when i unlock my phone it has some colour shifting between lock screen and home screen and at low brightness it becomes worst can someone explain???
It cranks up the backlight to help the fingerprint sensor from what I can tell.
