I absolutely love my Pixel 4 XL. However, I am experiencing stuttering while scrolling, for instance the Google News app, or even just the native wallpapers selection. I have 90Hz forced, but the same happens if I switch that off. Scrolling up and down my app drawer on the Pixel launcher, by contrast, is really smooth. Has anyone experienced this? If so, have you found a fix?
No issues here.

Hopefully the November patch will sort this out ("Improvements for Smooth Display on Pixel 4"), although they don't mention the 4XL...
Having the same issue with a lot of apps such as Reddit and other apps/sites with long feeds. It's not terrible but still noticeable.
I just got my phone 2 days ago. Hoping it's not an overall hardware/screen issue. I was trying to set up one of my apps and got an error. The screen started flickering bad with the error message.
Same as you loving the phone so far but thinking if I should get a replacement.
Believe it or not, I've been plagued with this problem as well. It only happens in the pixel live wallpaper app for me. I have rma'd twice but still have the scrolling lag. I have done a factory reset as well. It doesn't happen when you first set up the phone. I don't know if there's anything else I can do. Either I'd have to live it and hoping an update would fix it or return the phone for a refund and get a different phone. This is so bizarre.
Hey guys,
Did anyone figure it out? Was an RMA successful for anyone? Or are all Pixel 4's plagued with this issue?
Not all are affected. Mine is fine. If yours is not then yes try RMA.
It's weird I just noticed this issue with my love wall paper when I unlock it

I love the n7...mostly. I want it to succeed
But the issues where the touchscreen will have dead zones / drop touch / not work properly are killing me!
Is this driving anyone else nuts? I have had two different ones, and they both have the problem.
I'm hopeful that either this will be a software fix, or that there will be a later hardware revision that I can rma for.
But man, this is a big problem!
Edit.....
Here is a post on the problem

ok, return and get a new one or demand a refund. I doubt no one here thought defects in a product were awesome, contact customer service
Are you not having these issues? I have had them on two different devices... Reports are starting to show up on the blogs.... I figured this was a device wide problem.

Im not having any issues either, but i havent played any tegra 3 specific games on it yet.
It only seems to happen sometimes... Particularly bad after playing intense games (dead trigger, e.g.).
Seems worse on the right side for me.
I in fact only took delivery of the 2nd one in the hopes that it wouldn't have the problem.

No issues here, played a few games and not a prob
Never seen any touch issues myself.
I had the issue this morning after powering up with the charger attached. The right hand side of the keyboard was very unresponsive. I was concerned the rooting I performed last night was contributing to the problem.
After powering off again it seemed to reset and has been working fine the rest of the day.
While it was unresponsive I downloaded a touch test app and it was struggling to see presses over 1/4 of the screen primarily the bottom right when in portrait orientation.
Thankfully it seems to be OK at present.

Disclaimer: I'm not here to troll. I genuinely love this phone and I just want to see if anyone else is experiencing what I am.
Now that that's out of the way:
I have noticed performance degradation in my Note 3 over the last few days. My GS4 ran like crap pretty much all the time and I finally gave up and sold it. I had no intention of buying the Note 3 because I figured Touchwiz was to blame and it would pretty much run the same. Playing with one in Best Buy, I came to the conclusion that I was wrong and purchased one. It was snappy at first, for the most part. Very few delays or lag.
Lately, I have noticed that things like launching Messaging, the Gallery (which has always been a bad performer on Touchwiz), the camera and the Swiftkey keyboard have been slow, as well as moving between them (i.e. tapping on the last picture in the camera results in a long load time).
When it got really bad today, I checked and noticed that I had very little available RAM (~120 mb). I cleared the RAM and it is running better now. However, comparing it to the performance of my Moto X, which never degrades and never has to have the RAM cleared, I'm perplexed as to why I have to do this on a Snapdragon 800 with 3 GB of RAM.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I still really like the phone and have turned off most of the Touchwiz features I don't use. I'm also using Nova launcher, rather than Touchwiz.
I noticed the same using nova launcher but couldn't see it just being nova. I deleted some recently installed apps and ditched nova for testing purposes and ask was well again just my .02

I too have noticed that things have started to lag a bit, delay in opening certain apps. I turned off all air gesture and also turned off some apps. I got my Note 1week ago today and I was amazed by this phone. Coming from the OG Note it was a big step up. I am taking mine back in to exchange it on Monday due to the phone freezing numerous times and rapid battery drain

Please help. I am planning to buy nexus 6. I have read a lot about nexus 6 display issues like burn in issues , uneven color, grey lines and lower half of screen freezing. Some say these are present in all devices to variable extent and in most exist in mild form.
Should i get nexus 6 ? does these screen issues still exist?
Else i will buy Galaxy s6

I've had mine since November 2014 and I have none of those issues.
Smooth sailing here
I keep it adaptive 66% brightness and its all good no burn-in that I can see I have noticed some specific apps like chrome cause a weird freeze on the right screen half happens maybe once a month with no pattern (a quick screen off/on fixes it could possibly be a custom kernel thing). Only other thing I'd say is the screen has a very warm color palette by default, I use code blue with kcal 237, 235, 255 to make a cooler feel, there's a thread about it somewhere. I've had mine since February.

The Galaxy S6 has lots more software issues then the N6 atm and besides that i have never personaly had this screen issue. The N6 is a great phone especialy now it is beeing discounted here and there (US and UK).
Been rocking N6 for last 1 month and i am loving it. No issues at all. Like u i was also very concerned to put into huge sum of money into N6 purchase after reading soooooo many discouraging videos and reviews and comments.
But i am using it as my daily driver for like 1 month now and i haven't seen any issue related to screen, battery, or even software. 5.1.1 is very stable.
I keep the adaptive brightness on and brightness level at 50% and i get 4 - 4.5 hours SOT with everything on...including google now, location history, location reporting high accuracy.
No screen burn, no battery swelling, no battery life issues, no screen freezes, bt yes i'll admit the screen colour is more on a warmer side.
I got a Nexus 6 from Google Play and a friend got one from Motorola in June 2015. Both have screen issues, one have vertical banding noticeable on gray or dark backgrounds, the other has a yellow tint and very uneven backlighting. I'm not sure if most have these issues and simply aren't bothered or what. Not sure what to do at this point.
Flawless here
No issues with mine ....
mine works fine never had any of the issues above
No issues for me.

There's no backlighting.
What I meant to say is that strips of the screen are brighter or darker than the rest of the screen and it looks blotchy. If I hadn't viewed a solid gray screen, I might not have noticed but this doesn't make me happy, especially knowing that Android M has a dark theme with lots of grays.
I've had my white 64gb from Motorola since March. Had it replaced once already for the screen tearing issue when running a custom dpi. The replacement I got a month ago does the same. Will be calling again soon

I got a nexus 6 at ATT through the next program a couple months ago. It had banding on the right side of the screen right out of the box. It was pretty discouraging. I took it back and got it swapped for another unit and honestly couldn't be happier. The n6 is an amazing phone.

Screen tearing or half black?
Issues relating to custom DPI happen on them all.
I received mine on 6/18, no issues other than a pink hue at low brightness (with adaptive brightness turned on) which seems to be software based.

Half black, and half freeze, which I've seen be referred to as screen tearing in just about all the posts I could find on it. Funny thing is on every kernel or ROM thread ice asked about it I've been told it does not happen on all of them. Seems many have had their phones replaced and had no issues in the replacement and that has led to people believing it's a hardware issue. Only other explanation I had seen was something about Franco saying it's a possible display driver issue. Sucks that I can't use Franco kernel at AOL because it becomes horrible

The tearing, which by that I mean freezing definitely seems to be a graphics card issue. The half-black if you change the DPI and rotate clockwise so buttons are on the bottom, afaik happens to them all. I think this is related to the GPU to, though I don';t think that is hardware issue. The tearing issue seems to manifest more when the device is warm/hot

The tearing is a graphics card software or hardware issue? I love this phone, but it's getting very frustrating. Especially since my RMA prices with Motorola turned out to be a series of clusterf*cks.
I'm running Chroma right now and with the included Franco it's unusable in both my phones at a lower dpi. Half screen freezes left and right within seconds of starting up. The reasons I initially believed it was software was that it only seems to happen in certain apps. Specifically ones that required a lot of scrolling, like XDA, Facebook, and chrome. But no one else in the thread seems to have the issue
The half black screen I figured had to be software because the soft buttons are still on the screen.
I just wish there was a solid answer so I could stop guessing

I've never had the tearing issue and not everyone has that one. The guys who have had an RMA have generally said that it had stopped the issue happening. Im not sure that has any link to DPI either. My suspician based on not really any evidence at all is that it is hardware related, since some have it and some do not.
The half black is definitely linked to DPI and there is no fix to that that I am aware. I just turn that rotation mode off so I can only go anti-clockwise.

The weird thing with me with the tearing is it only happens in certain situations and has been consistent across both devices I had. Certain kernels I get it, other ones I do not. Franco has been unusable for me on both. It has only happened at lower dpi. Never on stock. Send to be less frequent with interactive governors than ondemand or conservative

As we all know the AMOLED lotto is real even if the display was given "the highest A+ from DisplayMate". Wanting to keep track to see if anyone is having any of the following issues: Screen uniformity, banding on gray, dark gray looking purple at lower brightness, blotches, black crush, black smear. If there is something I haven't listed feel free to post the issue. While I know some of these issues are inherent of the technology I would like to gather data and see other's experiences thus far.
On my my device my 128 GB white XL exhibits the "dark gray looking purple at lower brightness". I've also added poll options and I look forward to seeing everyone's responses and thank you for taking the time to read and respond!
While it's true any oled can get these problems, it does seem there's a fair amount of complaints about display issues already. I think that's because there LG panels, while we know have improved a lot since the 2 XL but they don't seem to be the same standard as samsung ones .
Something like the OnePlus 7 pro I didn't see any things on Reddit, xda about screen faults

Ifixit's tearodwn actually shows that Samsung actually manufactured the display. From what I know Samsung's own devices don't have 90hz panels yet. So this could be their first batch and the 4 is their guiena pig to iron out any production issues. But some other reports to report that it is LG. I'll poke around Reddit and see what the folks say down there as well. I could of just been the unlucky one and got shafted on the panel lottery. But everything else is working flawless (for now) and I don't really want to play the exchange lotto. Thanks for the response.
I guess I won the lottery. No issues at all. My P3XL had the purple shift at low brightness though.
What I would like to know is, the devices that are being affected, are they the XL or the standard version? The XL has all but been confirmed to be samsung, but we don't know about the regular version

Some are saying LG and the others are saying Samsung. I'm more inclined to believe it's Samsung since in the teardown it was confirmed. https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Google+Pixel+4+XL+Teardown/127320 Unless they really went with LG and Samsung for both variants? Last year smaller gets the LG while the XL gets Samsung.
Maybe not?
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Who-m...Google-Pixel-4-XL-Samsung-or-LG.439878.0.html hopefully this posts right. Screenshot shows that it has the samsung driver. In the xl at least. Dunno about the standard
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixe..._pixel_4_display_a_big_step_forward_in_black/ This thread here shows that several people have posted about purple and some even green. Whereas some are saying even at higher brightness levels some grays appear purple and then at other times it appears as normal.

It would be nice if we could get some confirmation on which device this was happening on. So we can at least eliminate one other variable. We still don't know if the panels are the same on both devices. I'm willing to bet that is happening on the smaller version, since no one I know that has received an XL has mentioned it
I guess I won the lottery. None of the above for me so far. I haven't had the phone for even a day though, so the bottom two are possible yet. I checked the others and it's good to go. Very glad to hear they're Sammy displays too. I had the 2xl, and those LG's sucked.

If the XL panels are indeed all Sammy then I and probably a few others didn't win the lotto. I also notice some strange behaviors as well. Adaptive EQ off and ambient on and around 20-30% Discord looks fine, whereas the voice recording app still seems dark/purple until about 70%. Then there are times where I open that app and it seems fine. Another user in the reddit thread I linked is also reporting this behavior on various apps. Hopefully more cotinue to speak up if their screen is fine or not!

That is correct I have a 128 GB White 4 XL. I've been digging around Reddit and some others users also have the gray appearing purple and others have gray appearing as green at lower brightness on their XL's.
Anyone experience this. Different brightness levels on this device didn't change it, but randomly while watching Netflix on this device, I get random white screen flashes. They don't last long but it's very noticeable since it's a blast of white.
At first, I thought it was the show but rewinding it and seeing the scene again with 0 flashes convinced me it's the phone. Any ideas or similar experiences?
Yeah I've had this happen on occasion. Not sure what it is though. Maybe something to do with HDR? Just taking a wild guess.
Now that I think about it, yeah. I have to try something without HDR. Everything I watched so far has had HDR. ?
Seen it before but since low light performance on the Pixel 4 XL is so bad I stopped watching Netflix on my mobile device, so this is no longer bothering me. Another display quirk sadly. Doesn't happen on my iPhone or Note 10+.
Pixel 4 XL 2 weeks old
I've been having this issue too. I'm happy to find out it's not my eyes going bad or something! Is this an issue with Netflix, Android or the Pixel 4? Does anyone know of a case with Google or Netflix already?
