It has not gotten better eBay is the biggest scam market on the internet. They don't care about seller or customers. Only about their profit.

They are losing to others like Amazon&Co. If you do plan to sell something never ever use PayPal.

As a seller you will get ripped off by ebay and PayPal and from time to time by users.

Offer direct wire transfer like in the old days and keep up a good reputation.

Or use postpaid process via your delivery services.

Hi,

I tried to use google fit and it seems the app doesn't register activity when the phone is in sleep mode.

It works properly on my gf's Sony Xperia Z3 but not on the P8lite.

Anyone had this problem and found a solution ?
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yoshikage_Kira:
You need to add app in memory cleanup whitelist also in ignore battery optimization list. But this may drain your battery.
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hub00:
Ok let's try that. Where do i find the whitelist (i'm on android M) and how do i edit it ?
[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yoshikage_Kira:
In phone manager settings(memory cleanup whitelist aka protected apps).

For ignore battery optimization.

Go in settings

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davizzyus:
First off. I'm pretty much a layman at this. Anyone that can solve my issues, I'll gladly pay via PayPal or whatever...

Two months ago, I bought a used LG G2 . It was rooted and running Lollipop.

Sadly, I was a PokemonGo junkie, so when the M'F'ng Niantic a**holes put a block on rooted phones, I attempted the Magisk workaround and ended up bricking my device.

Fortunately I found a solution via You Tube and was able to restore to the factory KitKat / AT&T.

THE CURRENT problem is that yesterday I re-rooted the device, installed TWRP, but did something wrong to where it will not fully reboot and I'm stuck in TWRP. I've watched and read about 20 "fix it" instructionals, which rely on using a PC. I'm using a laptop running XP and every time I have downloaded, installed, and tried to update the damn LG USB driver, it won't f*ing update. I'm going mad and ready to jump off a bridge.

Supposedly, this is the place to go. for answers, so ...CAN ANYONE HELP?!! Again, I'm a layman. I need VERY simple, step by step solutions, that account for ANYTHING that might go wrong, since so far, it always does.

Thank you, if you read this.

If you are in the TWRP, just download some other kk rom, transfer it to your phone and install, one question, what TWRP is it ? 2.8.7.0. ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dork6243:
Agreed. Also, if there's no communication between PC and device, you may need an OTG to flash from.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davizzyus:
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I can access TWRP. I just don't know what to do with it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davizzyus:
It's TWRP 2.7.0. I kind of know in theory what needs to be done, but I don't know how to do it. I thought I backed everything up using Titanium and TWRP, but maybe the KK ROM is gone? I dunno... I was actually hoping to install Lollipop
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runekock:
What model do you have?

If it is d802, then there is an easy-to-flash rom here: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/development-d802/rom-pure-stock-lg-google-apps-t3477635/page1

To transfer it to the phone, you can use OTG as Dork said: put the rom on a usb-stick and connect it to the phone with an OTG cable. Most versions of twrp support OTG.

Another way is to get linux for your PC. You're really better off with linux than XP, but you can also just boot with a live-cd. In linux, USB generally just works, though sometimes you have to be root because ordinary users may not have permission.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davizzyus:
Thanks for the replies, but being very new at all this, I don't know how to do any of the things suggested. I ended up finding a you tube video which walked me through downloading lg flash tool and some .dll file, and on my work computer with windows 7, I was able to install the usb drivers & change the port number which allowed LG flash to work. The crappy XP didn't have that option on the device manager menu and wouldn't install the drivers.

Anyway, I got it restored to ATT stock KitKat. I wanted Lollipop and Magisk, so I tried installing TWRP with AutoRec, then got stuck in TWRP and bricked again. So I did the whole lg flash to KitKat process again. Now Im sick of messing with it and bricking my phone. I cant find any super simple step by step tutorial that makes sense to a layman like me, or that doesn't leave out steps, or provide expired links, or account for anything that could go wrong. I had hoped this was the place to come, but no luck so far. I know its time consuming for someone to make up a truly easy to follow guide for an older device, using layman terms that my grandma could follow, and I work 2 jobs and dont have hours to try to thoroughly learn OS programming, so I guess Ill just leave well enough alone and live with KitKat and without the ability to mask my root.

Thanks for your review, photos look really good, the stunning locations certainly help too! Was there any post editing or are they as they were shot? On auto on the stock cam? To be honest it looks good enough for day to day stuff, I wouldn't call myself a photographer but need to take good shots of my kids and like to photograph anything else nice when opportunity arises.

I've pretty much convinced myself to get this phone now, just a small niggle to get the redmi note 3 pro purely for custom rom options, but part of me isn't that bothered as I've used the last couple of phones as is and there seems to be plenty of customisation options in miui to tinker about with.

So do you think its worth it coming from a gs4? You're saying MIUI is not better than AOSP wich I am currently using, and getting great performance but terrible battery life. Also you compare the proccesor with a mid range snapdragon, let us not forget that the s4 was a flagship in it's release. So what do you think?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheUltrametricSpace:
Hey,

thank you for asking a question. :D

Samsung uses TouchWiz what is "as slow as" MIUI is.

Did you install ASOP as a custom ROM? if that's the case you never got the full true ASOP speed.

---

My girlfriend only had true ASOP devices and now is happy with the Redmi Note 4, she keeps it as her daily driver.

(I used it for a couple of days and then she took it, I do have a Mi 5 as my daily driver.)

She used:

- 2 years Google Nexus 5, until the battery broke.

- some months the Moto G4 Plus she liked the battery, but wasn't happy with it in general.

Both devices are very sleek and fast true ASOP devices, such will always be faster then Samsung, Xiaomi or others.

However! She keeps on using the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and the Moto G4 Plus just lays around unused.

I asked her about the speed and she said: The Moto G4 Plus was faster... but this doesn't make her use it.

Or in other words, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 is fast enough to be a daily driver, that's for sure.

----

Back on topic.

Ya the Helio X20 is a middle range SoC, the problem is that 10 cores are nice on paper, but the Software can't use it.

This means: It's neither advantage nor disadvantage to have 10 cores... it's just like having 6 or 8 of it (because of the software behind).

If you only used Samsungs Touchwiz thing, you can switch to MIUI, the performance difference won't be much. (Things will look different though, icon and style things.)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jorgetudo_98:
All righty, so summing up=its not much of a difference compared with touchwiz. I think I'll buy this one instead of the G4 plus wich was an option too, I need something durable. Thank you!! :good:

Shipping was fast, I paid an extra $5 for DHL express, and it came in under a Week.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] mikey33rs:
I got my (for my wife to be honest) from TopOne store on AliExpress. 3/64gb silver and with DHL shipping was 203$. The best thing is that they ship to England first and then to rest of EU so there is no custom fee's for importing! Can say only good things about TopOne store: very good comunication with seller, checking devices before shipping (you can choose not to also if you want sealed phone package) and pretty cheap price.

Edit: Also bought Redmi Note 2 around Christmass last year and em very satisfied with phone considering what did cost back then (130$+20ish$ for DHL)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] TheUltrametricSpace:
TopOne is good yeah.

But!!!! I personally hate it when Chinese re-seller open the boxes! Xiaomi does a quality check and I trust Xiaomi more then any Chinese reseller.

The problem is: When opening the box, they install a manipulated fake-MIUI version and bloatware.

Meaning: First thing you must do after getting the phone from TopOne (and similar shops) is -> perform a clean flash and do a factory reset. (Sucks IMO.)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] mikey_rs:
Very much true but, as I was saying, you can tell them when buying as a note, not to open. I told them to open box, check the phone and dont touch software and I got tested RN4 with, what it seems to be original china ROM. If I'm not mistaken they also write it on description about opening box (in case of buyinf as a gift or similar) and I got PM as soon as I payed the phone asking what to do and explaining about shipping.

Anyway, whereever you buy you have to read description and google few opinions about seller.

Different ROMs?

Hello friends, I am new to the Xiaomi/MIUI topic, so please be patient with me.

I am about to order a Redmi note 4. I stumbled upon different offers from geekbuying and flosmall. What I wonder about is, that geekbuying particularly advertises one version as International Global ROM with Google play pre-installed and OTA updates capable.

I know that Google play is not available in China, but that - in general - I can install it afterwards.

Flosmall does not say anything about the MIUI version or Google play or OTAs.

Would I run into problems when I order from flosmall, then be able to update OTA and install Google play? Or would everything run smooth and easy?

Thanks in advance
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] gsmyth:
With either seller they may install vendor ROM which can feature added bloat/malware but you can download a stock ROM and start afresh. It seems easy to install Google services, just install an installer apk (see below ink) and you can get up and running. I dont have a Note 4 yet, just ordered one last week, from geekbuying so should hopefully receive in the next couple of weeks. I dont think mine will come with the global rom, probably the chinese stock one, but im happy to enough to flash it. Not sure which is the best option as there is the global rom and the EU rom which is a modfied version of the chinese rom (chinese bloat and characters removed).
