I'm trying to use the same procedure than Customizing chapter style with tikz, for the report class and twoside printing.

However for even pages i'm having an unespected behavior (see Fig 2). While for odd pages i'm not having problems (see Fig 1).

Figure 1 Fig1

Figure 2 Fig2

I read in the documentation for titlesec one could use the extra option \titleformat{name=\chapter,page=even/odd} for even or odd pages, however when i compile a simpler version of the code the color boxes are not shown in the pdf. 

\documentclass[11pt, a4paper,twoside]{report}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[explicit]{titlesec}
\usepackage{fourier}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{epigraph}
\usepgflibrary{qrr.shapes.openrectangle}

\definecolor{mybluei}{RGB}{0,173,239}
\definecolor{myblueii}{RGB}{63,200,244}
\definecolor{myblueiii}{RGB}{199,234,253}

\tikzset{
mynode/.style={
  rounded corners=30pt,
  shape=open rectangle,
  open rectangle fill=myblueii,
  open rectangle sides=#1,
  }
}

\titleformat{name=\chapter,page=even}[display]
  {\usefont{T1}{qhv}{b}{n}\selectfont}
  {}
  {20pt}
  {%
  \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
  \node[
    anchor=west,
    rectangle,
    minimum height=4cm,
    text width=\paperwidth,
    xshift=-\the\dimexpr\oddsidemargin+1in\relax,
    outer sep=0pt,
    fill=myblueiii] (titlerect) {};
  \node[
    anchor=south west,
    xshift=2cm,
    text width=\textwidth] 
    at ([yshift=5pt]titlerect.south west) {\huge #1};
  \node[
    mynode=nw,
    anchor=south east,
    fill=myblueii,
    inner xsep=1.5cm,
    outer sep=0pt,
    font=\color{white},
    minimum height=30pt] 
    at (current page.east|-titlerect.north)
     {\bfseries\MakeUppercase{\chaptertitlename}\ \thechapter};
  \end{tikzpicture}%
  }
\titleformat{name=\chapter,page=odd}[display]
  {\usefont{T1}{qhv}{b}{n}\selectfont}
  {}
  {20pt}
  {%
  \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
  \node[
    anchor=west,
    rectangle,
    minimum height=4cm,
    text width=\paperwidth,
    xshift=-\the\dimexpr\oddsidemargin+1in\relax,
    outer sep=0pt,
    fill=myblueiii] (titlerect) {};
  \node[
    anchor=south west,
    xshift=2cm,
    text width=\textwidth]

  \node[
    mynode=nw,
    anchor=south east,
    fill=myblueii,
    inner xsep=1.5cm,
    outer sep=0pt,
    font=\color{white},
    minimum height=30pt] 
    at (current page.east|-titlerect.north)
     {\bfseries\MakeUppercase{\chaptertitlename}\ \thechapter};
  \end{tikzpicture}%
  }
\titleformat{name=\chapter,numberless}[display]
  {\usefont{T1}{qhv}{b}{n}\selectfont}
  {}
  {20pt}
  {\huge #1}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}
  {0pt}{-20pt}{60pt}


\begin{document}

\chapter{Chapter odd}
\lipsum[2]
\chapter{Chapter even}
\lipsum[2]
\chapter*{Numberless chapter}

\end{document}

How can i solve this problem?.

I've noticed a similar problem to that solution, and managed to come up with the following alternative (my tikz skills is not that great):

enter image description here

\documentclass[11pt, a4paper,twoside]{report}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[explicit]{titlesec}
\usepackage{fourier}
\usepackage{tikzpagenodes}% Loads tikz
\usepgflibrary{qrr.shapes.openrectangle}

\definecolor{mybluei}{RGB}{0,173,239}
\definecolor{myblueii}{RGB}{63,200,244}
\definecolor{myblueiii}{RGB}{199,234,253}

\tikzset{
mynode/.style = {
  rounded corners = 30pt,
  shape=open rectangle,
  open rectangle fill = myblueii,
  open rectangle sides = #1,
  }
}

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
  {\usefont{T1}{qhv}{b}{n}\selectfont}
  {}
  {20pt}
  {%
  \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay]
  \node[
    anchor = west,
    rectangle,
    minimum height = 4cm,
    ] 
    (titlerect) {};
  \fill[color = myblueiii] ([xshift = -1cm]current page.west|-titlerect.south) rectangle (current page.east|-titlerect.north);
  \node[
    anchor = south west,
    xshift = -1cm,
    text width = \textwidth] 
    at ([yshift = 5pt]titlerect.south west) {\huge #1};
  \node[
    mynode = nw,
    anchor = south east,
    fill = myblueii,
    inner xsep = 1.5cm,
    outer sep = 0pt,
    font = \color{white},
    minimum height = 30pt] 
    at (current page.east|-titlerect.north)
     {\bfseries\MakeUppercase{\chaptertitlename}\ \thechapter};%
  \end{tikzpicture}%
  }
\titleformat{name = \chapter, numberless}[display]
  {\usefont{T1}{qhv}{b}{n}\selectfont}
  {}
  {20pt}
  {%
  \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay]
  \node[
    anchor = west,
    rectangle,
    minimum height = 4cm,
    ] 
    (titlerect) {};
  \fill[color = myblueiii] ([xshift = -1cm]current page.west|-titlerect.south) rectangle (current page.east|-titlerect.north);
  \node[
    anchor = south west,
    xshift = -1cm,
    text width = \textwidth] 
    at ([yshift = 5pt]titlerect.south west) {\huge #1};
  \end{tikzpicture}%
  }
\titlespacing*{\chapter}
  {0pt}{-20pt}{60pt}

\begin{document}

\chapter{Chapter odd}
\lipsum[2]
\chapter{Chapter even}
\lipsum[2]
\chapter*{Numberless chapter}

\end{document}

I'm using tikzpagenodes to tap into the page boundary when setting the coloured boxes, rather than shifting them around manually.
