[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] AMDFusion:
Brick only happens when you flash miui rom with twrp.

If you flash it using miflash with proper procedure, it will work as I have tested and done it before.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] ciristipsa:
Lets say I unlock it the official way,and later I flash Miui using miflash does it lock bootloader again or no( which would be very weird to me if it does). It's all to confusing, I'm android user 4 years now but first time Xiaomi user and this is all weird to me. Thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] AMDFusion:
I'm not sure about that. But i think it won't relocked back as you need to use some fastboot commands to relock the bootloader again. I might be wrong though.

But i suggest you to flash miui rom using the newly modified twrp(which will not require you to modify/flash boot.img) If AND ONLY If you unlock your bootloader OFFICIALLY.
[General Questions and Answers] spvm500:
Dear All,

I recently replaced my Moto G (1st Gen) with an Oukitel K10000 as I need very long battery life and a recent eyesight diagnosis required a larger screen (At least 5.5"). Sadly I have had to return the K10000 under warranty as an official OTA Update soft bricked the phone and the MTK Chipset from these chinese phones was hard for me to deal with, there was no recovery installed and the drivers for their flash tool dont work with my computers OS. I'm back to using my Moto G (With a Battery Jacket) and now have back my £139.00 (UK Pounds) spent on the Oukitel but I need another phone but I have a list of requirements that I would be grateful if anyone could suggest a phone to suit my requirements, apologies if I have posted in the wrong place I have only posted a few times before.

I'm looking for

- 5.5" Screen (Resolution not to much of an issue)

- 4G Compatiability in United Kingdom

- A LARGE battery or a phone that is efficient (24 Hour medium-heavy Use)

-2GB Ram (The Moto G struggles with multitasking with 1GB)

-Don't care about internal storage as long as there is a micro SD slot

- A phone that is well known to the forum with lots of development options like the Moto g with good availability of cases, screen protectors etc (I realised this was a drawback of Chinese phones)

- A gyroscope for use with my google cardboard, I was very disappointed to find the K10000 did not have one (and few other sensors for that matter)

- Android 5.01 + or with good ROM releases

-Dont Care about looks/build quality or cameras or unnecessary features

I don't mind spending maybe £20 or £30 more so a budget of Approx £160 UK Pounds, if need be I would be happy with a used handset if I had to

Is there anyone aware of a phone that I would be happy with? I have found ebay descriptions and websites can be unreliable (Such as being told the K10000 had a Gyro) so thought I would ask here.

Many thanks in advance to anyone who may have a suggestion

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] samy3s:
Hi,

I just bought a Galaxy S7 and I already met some annoyances.

Indeed, my first surprise was when I realized that I had no access to google now because of "google now is not avaialble in your country" while on my old Nexus 4, it worked perfectly!

Well okay, but my second concern, the most important, is that when connected over 3G, if I leave the phone about an hour or further without using it, when I turn back the screen to use it, push notifications do not arrive immediately, but around 10 to 15 minutes after. I tried a factory reset yesterday but I still face delayed notifications...

I found on a forum that turning off and on the airplane mode would help, and it indeed speed up the reception of notification, but it's not a durable solution...

Any help ?

PS: Sorry for my inperfect english
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemon:
Hello,

I bought a Galaxy S6 last week because I got it for about 230€ brand new. I did that although I really don't like Samsungs software-thing they do with android.

Currently these things upset me:

- Touchwiz

- Own status bar

- No "dnd until next alarm" - why the hell did they patch out that feature?

- some little "nice" samsung tweaks - smartstay and the whole stuff

- hardware-buttons (ok, no software-solution to get rid of that)

- different status bar usage

- no artwork with play music/music player/poweramp or anything

I really love the hardware. The camera is absolutely great and the phone feels really good in my hands - but the samsungs-software is...... i don't know why... i hate it.

I already themed it with stock marshmallow and replaced the touchwiz launcher, but still there are so many little things that i hate about the software. In my eyes they cut down some nice features that are in stock already and therefor they bring in features I don't want to have :(

My question: Will there ever be a possibility to run a stock android rom on this nearly perfect hardware? It doesn't have to be Android N, but I want to get rid completely of this samsung overflow. Or should I sell this thing and get a Nexus 5x?

Thanks for your reply,

clemon
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the tech blog on insta:
No its not possible that there ever will be a stock rom for the samsung galaxy s6. If you really want stock android go with the Nexus 5x but really think twice before making a decision

I've done over the adb-a partition of internal memory for data and sdcard. It all worked well until I decided back the official system via the flaštool-a.

I started but is stop on the installation partition-image.

The standing is a long time until I turned off the phone and started again, but again the same.

I'm thinking that over adb create all partitions as if he had a pre throw cyanogenmod.

Sorry for my bad english
[Sony Xperia L] Aenadon:
Yes... You are very lucky! Flashing stock after repartitioning usually causes hardbrick. So please flash a custom rom again (if you want the original Xperia feeling back, there are a few roms (like StryFlex) which use the theme of the Xperia Z5. Just don't flash anything with flashtool, please.)

[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DakshinaKali:
Hello everyone,

Ok, so I rooted my P8 Lite (thanks to the awesome walkthroughs on your forum!) and my old Samsung S3 mini. I'm kind of hooked on the stock Music Player 5.0.5 that came with Samsung S3 mini and (after approx 4 hours of figuring out how to find the unlock code, solve some minor problems with the root process... after which my Android spontaneously updated to Lollipop and made me scream in frustration, fortunately there was a fix for this on the forum too :)) I installed TItanium Backup on both devices, moved the backup file from the Samsung S3 mini music player to my P8L, ran the restore process and... nothing.... :( I have the Pro version om my P8L (since I'll be using it to remove bloatware too) but that didn't help either.

I'm not at all comfortable in any programming environment so I put this out there in hopes of finding a kind soul who'd be willing to help me out.

Now before people start bombarding me with free alternatives to this music player I should explain why I loved it: it had Square Music which generated random playlists based on moods. I've googled all over the place, in Dutch, French and English to find a similar feature but can't find one.

If I didn't post this in the right location, I do apologize - I hope you will be able to help me :)

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,so recently I bought myself a Thrustmaster GPX LightBack(Or LightBack GPX i don't remember)Xbox 360 licensed wired gamepad.When I connect it via OTG to my HTC One Mini 2 Phone (running KitKat 4.4.2) the controller flashes the 4 LED-s but does not work in any Xbox 360 controller supported games.Any way to fix it?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oopeteroo:
is there a way to power on the note 4 without inserting the battery ? like using a powerbank by usb ? because the + pin on the phone is broken....
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcobourn:
I don't think it can be done. Certainly just providing USB power doesn't work. I've probed the other contacts available, and although one of them is connected to the - terminal, none are connected to the + terminal, so there doesn't seem to be a way to do it with a power supply. The only work around would be to disassemble the phone and make a direct connection inside the phone with a power supply set at 3.85v. That would be only worthwhile if there was desperately needed data on the phone. I did something similar with a galaxy gear that managed to get a corroded battery connection, but couldn't find much use for a watch that had to be delicately wired up to a desktop power supply. :)
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metaleloi666:
I still like my Idol 3, even though it lags a bit since a little while. I'm rooted (using stock firmware) and started using Greenify, so I'll see if it's better with many apps "greenified".

But I'm tempted by the Moto X Pure (or Style, it's the same). The 3GB RAM (vs 2 GB for the Idol 3) and a better processor must make it quite faster than the Idol 3. And the camera is supposed to be better as well. I'm afraid the battery is worse than the Idol 3 from what I read though. I'm in Canada and the X Pure is a bit of a pain to buy because Motorola decided to only release the inferior X Play (only great thing vs the Pure seems the killer battery) here only...

What do you guys think?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommihut:
Well, I'm sure Moto is better, but so it also should be, because at least here in Finland Moto is almost twice as expensive than Alcatel ;) (Moto ~500€, Alcatel 280€)
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeik:
I am also considering it.

It is a good phone,but did you think about the Nexus phones as well?

But I suggest you wait until we get MM,then try to think about it all.

That is what I am going to do myself.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metaleloi666:
Nexuses are a no go because I need a microSD card... If the Nexus had the damn SD slot, that would be so great...
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeik:
Yeah,that is a flaw of a certain kind.

But,the 5x and 6p are still Nexii,theyhave fingerprint readers,minimalistic design,decent cameras and good SOCs.

As for lack of storage,one can always use cloud storage or have a 32GB hybrid USB(normal USB on one side,and micro USB/USB type C on the other side) in the pocket. :D

I have the 6045K which has no sd card slot. When you want something,you can always find a way!

Also,I dislike the body language of the Moto phones(the fat-in-the-middle design).

A phone these days has to feel good in hand and look good as well.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metaleloi666:
32GB is not enough for me. I just got the new SanDisk 200GB.... I need front-facing stereo speakers and microSD slot. Too bad Nexus doesn't qualify...
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techware7:
Ofcourse it is. UI is smooth. MXP is fast and just better than idol 3. Even more noticeable now when I grab my wife's Idol 3 - which feels like junk (UI microlags everywhere and overall just slow). Sorry, but it's the truth. Idol 3 rear flashlight is brighter though! And I do miss the full screen rotation. That's it.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DallasCZ:
I like also the moto x pure/style. But when i would be you i would wait untill the new MOTO X 2016 is released, because then the old models get discounted.

I like the camera on MOTO X Pure (at most the 720p 240fps slow motion) :)

And of course there is much much bigger comunity of moto x pure users.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikola Jovanovic:
In my humble opinion it depends on how you use your phone for.

Let's say, I would never upgrade to moto x pure cause the 808 on 2k screen is same as 615 on 1080p in 3d demanding tasks. Also the faster and more pixelated screen are more demanding on the battery consumption. Also with cm 12.1 custom roms like pac man or slim (big thanks to [MENTION=4150512]The Marionette[/MENTION] the idol 3 is on pair with much more expensive devices - my friend has huawei p9 that I'll never trade for Idol3).

The sound from speakers and headphones is similar, and you have viper4android if you want the next level of sound exp.

Camera is better in low light, you have flash on front, and some feature advantages but I'm satisfied for the most with idol.

The build quality is noticeable better, but idol is lighter and thinner.

So it really depends on your demands and needs. As the Marionette said above, storage is up to you, I know some dudes that live comfortably on iPhone 6s with 16gigs ! That's like 2009 times.. You'll always have the downs and ups for something.

This all said, it doesn't mean I wouldn't upgrade for note 5(even though i would switch positions for capacitive buttons) or 6p or some 820 SOC.

Try the moto and figure it for yourself would be the most appropriate for you.

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techware7:
No. 808/418 pushing quad is not the same as a 615/405 at 1080p. You constantly get 20-30fps @2k on intensive 3D on MXP vs 8-15 fps max on Idol 3 [MENTION=921577]1080P[/MENTION]. 3D stuff is just smooth. It is not the same. 615/405 @ 1080p is *somewhat comparable to a 801/330 @2k (testing a g3 proved that even a 801 at 2k is slightly faster than a 615/405 [MENTION=921577]1080P[/MENTION]). Battery is slightly less I get 4 SOT on stock (rooted+all goodies) but that is not even an issue with quickcharge. Phones charges to full in 35 mins. 15 mins I'm up almost 50%. Multitasking is just night and day on a MXP vs Idol 3. In a trip have Pandora running, Waze, BT, then try to do something else... Good luck.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikola Jovanovic:
I'm getting 30fps on custom rom with 5h sot so my experience is different, mainly cause of bad optimisation by Alcatel vs cm editions.

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottsoNJ:
I had the Moto X pure. It is a really nice phone. The build quality is definitely better but it does cost twice as much so it should. Although the camera might be a little better I am very happy with the camera on the Idol 3. I really don't have anything bad to say about the Idol 3
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techware7:
True that typically a MXP it's 2 times as much but I've seen several deals for the 32GB version for $300 which is just $100 more for a way better phone. Here is one:

The Moto X Pure is not available in Canada by Motorola or any carriers, but there are unlocked 32GB models on Amazon.ca at around $625 CAN. Telus sold me my 16GB Idol 3 for $360 CAN. So here, the Pure is not double the price...

I just got a G4 today. It craps all over the idol......except for the battery. I barley got 2 hours SOT. What a joke.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gautam.malik:
Hi All,

I bought an Idol 3 4.7 in September 2015. I bought it because I wanted a lightweight and sleek phone; and, it was really light, weighing merely 110g. But it's performance let me down - the stock rom was really, really slow. Luckily, with pivoq's cm 12.1 rom, the phone got a new life. However, watching youtube and reading news was not enjoyable on such a tiny device. I am using the phone during my running because...

In Feb 2016, I did a lot of research and bought a MXS (Moto X Style). Contenders were Nexus 6P, Oneplus 2, LG G4 and Asus Zenfone2. MXS is still the best device in terms of value. Snapdragon 808 is nearly as good as 810. MXS has a microsd and has the best, loudest front facing speakers. The sound from headset is plain awesome - it will completely humiliate Idol3-5.5. MXS rom is nearly plain Android stock with some very nice additions such as chop-chop for flashlight and swirl action to launch camera. It also gets regular updates, but as not as fast as nexuses. I am sure I will get Android N within a month or so.

Compared with 6P, MXS has the same 5.7 inch screen but in smaller footprint and hence is very comfortable to hold. MXP's front facing speakers beats 6P hands down. MXP also has an SD card and most importantly MXP 32 GB is just €360 now, compared to 6P which is €650 now. In half the price, you'll get nearly the same features. It's true that 6P has a better low light camera and a fingerprint sensor, but I don't do too much of low shooting anyways and I have a smartwatch that keeps much device unlocked through trusted connections.

Other tow best value phones are Oneplus 3 and Zenfone 2. I hate Zenfone's software, hence will need rooting and CM13. It is also slower and bigger than MXS with a smaller screen. I was very confused between Oneplus 3, which is even cheaper, and MXS. Finally decided to take MXS due to stock android experience, better cameras and bigger screen.

I strongly recommend MXP over any phablet because of:

1. SD Card

2. Best screen to size ratio

3. Awesome front facing speakers

4. Amazing sound from headphones

5. Near stock Android rom, with regular updates, and very useful additions

6. Good simple and very functional camera app (no manual controls, btw)

7. Best Value (price to performance)

8. Front camera with flash

9. Good battery life, with marshmallow 6.0.1 update, the battery is superb

This was a short write-up of my experience with MXS over the last 3 months. I hope it helps people take a wise decision
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metaleloi666:
Thanks for this lenghty post! Moto X Pure (Style) looks very interesting.

But I started using Greenify a few days ago and since then, my Idol 3 5.5 is less laggy. Because of that, I'll probably hold on to it for a little while but I surely keep the Pure/Style in mind.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techware7:
On the g4 that is terrible. This is my tipical day with basic optimization and 4 cores always active (factory kernel) I'm half day thru and SOT is more than 2 hours with bad LTE signal!. I always end up with 4 or 4:20 SOT. On an area with good LTE i hit 5 SOT. I can extend that to 5 (in a bad area) lowering cores and clock speed but I don't need it. Like I said, use your car charger for 15 mins and it goes up 50%.

There are some Moto X Style (same as the Pure Edition, but for Europe) on sale at expansys.ca for $440 CAN (or $349 US). It's said to be compatible with the major Canadian carriers for LTE and 3G. It's very tempting to upgrade my Idol 3 with this (my Idol is still sold $360 CAN over here)...
