More screen issues pixel 2 xl

[Ron Copsetta]

Wondering how many people are experiencing the screen flickering off and on while using the phone, on top of that I have a thin pixelated line towards the bottom of the display, Google is sending me a new unit this week. The pixelated line towards the bottom of the phone has me believe this is a hardware issue. And it took Google no time at all to put together a replacement.

the screen definitely hasn't hit anything

Negative. Looks like something hit that screen horizontally. Seems unlikely it came out of the box that way.

I wonder if people who have seen flickering is due to an app they installed.

Never heard of an app affecting the screen of any phone that way. I hope we don't have to be extra careful with apps now just to avoid damaging (further? ) the Pixel screen.

The flickering and the screen turning off and on continuously has nothing to do with apps, I went through the whole list of things to do with Google to try and remedy the problem and nothing worked, the last thing I did was a factory reset and the problem actually got worse. Another thing was while on my screen sharing call with them they couldn't see it from there end. That's what tells me anyway that this is hardware related.

Sounds to me like you have a bad unit. The line in the OP, like was said, looks like it was hit. This could have also caused further damage to the screen or broken connectors causing the flashing. I would exchange it for a working unit.

there already sending one, it's just real concerning with all the other issues, I think going with LG was a very poor decision.

Every brand has issues and once it's swapped I'm sure it'll be fine. Right now there seems to be a big focus on this particular phone because of a two issues that have been blown out of proportion.

I agree I didn't have an issue with the phone itself I loved it and I was actually happy with the screen especially when the update came in for the more saturated colors but I'm not happy with the screen flashing the way it did out of the blue and I feel it was a poor choice on Google's Part going with LG

I was just looking at the Pixel XL 2 at Best buy and it looked near flawless. After reading all the posts about so many issues, I was pleasantly surprised. It's like they say, people flock the forums even they have issues.

The phone feed like a solid offering from Google.

Looks like you want it to? I mean every phone irrespective of who makes will have issues. If all units have what you are seeing then yeah it'll definitely surface up in forums. But small percent it happens, as long as they are replacing it you are fine.

That appears to be damage. Also, why is this yet ANOTHER thread in a sea of dozens of threads. Please search for and then post in existing threads prior to creating another one. The word "more" in the title seems to indicate that you know there are already discussions going on.
