[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] WaxysDargle:
google is copying apple's business model on so many levels these days, except they are not offering anything exceptional (i think apple products are great, for what they are). the main difference is, apple does what THEY do very, very well. hardware and software engineers back to back means their devices always run cleanly and efficiently. google is using the same parts as every other flagship android manufacturer, and tends to stay just behind the curve. they slap a decent (that's right, DECENT) camera on the back, put the google logo on it and sell it for flagship prices. i'm sure their support is better than OP (impossible to beat OPs level of crappiness here), but it doesn't make up for their lack of innovation and foresight.

basically, if you are on XDA, WE are your support team. developers here will likely keep you on the latest OS with latest security definitions. this is one thing google usually does correctly, but it's not necessary to pay that kind of money for a service that is usually provided for free.

plus, the pixel line is UGLY. OP5 is definitely a "2 year ago" design, and it's still light years ahead of the pixel.

if you take a lot of pictures, pixel would be better. otherwise, i'd say stick with OP5.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] 83097markcynt:
Giving my OnePlus to my father. Getting the pixel 2 for camera (oneplus camera is a letdown for me), fast updates, and to a lesser extent, being able to call on google assistant just by squeezing the phone (hopefully works as advertised)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] arpith.pr:
Maybe in US it's only 100$ more than OnePlus 5,ie 640$ for 64 GB variant. But here in India the same variant costs 940$ !! So I'm gonna stick with my OnePlus 5 and I'm fully satisfied with it.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ItsOkka:
There is no difference, if you are trying to choose similar OS phones, hardware specs may differ though.

I would prefer buyin iOS device over OP5.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Eric214:
Nope. The cost plus no real upgrade other then screen and camera. Plus I don't think i'd ever go with a small 5 inch screen again. 5.5 is the absolute smallest i'd go (5-5.2" screens are for midget hands). I'm used to 5.7" screens. That being said the Pixel 2 XL would be the comparison and that isn't even an option at around $1000 for the 128gb. That's silly to give up on far far superior battery life, dash charging, never gets hot and overall performance.

The OP said 3 years of updates... nope 18 months and another 18 months for security patches not updates. Also, you do know that every other SD 835 is clocked slower then the OP5, 2.35ghz compared to 2.45ghz in the OP5 and runs cooler.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] fedex_742:
i like the pixel, but i hate the finger print in the back..if oneplus 6 changes the finger print, i'll not buy it either...

I sold my S8 Plus due to its pathetic battery life, OnePlus 5 is a solid device it feels good it's fast its responsive it don't lag and stutter like Galaxy devices does that's very annoying seriously no matter what Samsung does they can't overcome that lagging issues!!

looks like the one plus 5T on way with similar specs to the pixel 2 and prob waaaaaaaay cheaper
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
The OnePlus 5 has everything I need:

Performance, development community support and the more or less affordable price.

I rarely use the camera, so having a fancy one for that I pay extra is simply redundant. It's like buying a Ferrari and keeping it in the garage.

I do take pictures, but for my purposes, the OnePlus 5 camera is enough.

Water resistance is also nothing I'm concerned with so far. I'm not planning on using the phone under water or in the case of a monsoon. And I generally try to keep electronics away from water anyway.

All in all, I don't think the Pixel 2, or any other Flagship this year, offers much more than the OnePlus 5 as to justify the 400 dollars price difference.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] xcha0tic:
I'll be grabbing the pixel 2 myself to try it out but waiting to hear feedback and reviews.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] georgiapi:
Don't get one until you go to a retailer with a demo you can handle. I went to Verizon and handled one and could not believe for the money how weak the dual FF speakers are. Totally anemic. Its seems the idea of dual FF speakers is more important then their performance. I pulled out my 5x to compare to make sure and it is much louder. If you have your audio on at medium volume or a window down forget it.

Also noticed the viewing angle of the display is limited. Tilt it slightly and it washes out and gets a slight blue hue.

After seeing this I canceled.

A long time Google Phone fan person since the Galaxy Nexus I could only think "Not for this much money". I think Google has merged into the typical market, no more unique than the rest and for this they will loose fans like myself. Great phones for a fair price are fading into history.

The One+ line I hope will not follow suit.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fumas:
My phone is stuck to 0% of battery, no matter how much i charge it, it still remain at 0%.

It doesn't show up the battery charge icon, even if it's off, but the charging works because i feel the phone and the charger warm, but the led of charging doesn't show up even if the icon of the battery in navbar changes.

I already tried i clean flash, and now i flashed the last factory image, but the problem isn't gone.

There's another problem, when i shut down or i reboot the phone, it seems to die. It doesn't power up, but after some attempts keeping the power button pressed for much seconds, it finally turns on. Same for fastboot mode.

How did i arrive to this situation? I was running los14, i installed substratum, i applied 4 or 5 themes and there was no problem, till when i had a bootloop. So, i went in recovery and flashed the rom to fix the problem, but when i pressed "reboot", the phone shut down and died, and problems are begun.

One years ago i changed the battery, i still have the old one, should i try to change the battery?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Yes, try a different battery to see if that helps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fumas:
I changed battery but nothing seems changed.

It's really strange, the phone runs well anyway, i'm writing with it right now..

It's like the phone can't reach battery status. There's no app that is able to get info from battery.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fumas:
Actually, something changed; when the phone is off and i plug it in charge, it shows a battery with a question mark

:confused:

Sounds like the battery charging circuit
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] KubIxware:
Hey,

A few days ago I requested a new accu for my Xperia T. I tried to get an original one.

(See Photos: from the left to the right there are my Xperia T, the old accu and the one I bought.)

Well, I think I made some mistakes - maybe you find these and help me with them ;)

Here is the procedure-of-accu-disassembling I solved:

1. I disassembled the old akku with a rest capacity of ~76% I think; then I directly mounted the new battery.

2. I powered on the Device, the battery status was displaing ~76%.

3. The device crashed with ~76% accu several times.

4. I charged the phone powered on and got 1.5 hours charging time for the missing ~25%, which is actually the time the accu should take normaly to fully charge from 0% - 100%.

5. The device behaved correctly to 76%, then it started to crash again. This is where I made the conclusion that the accu came with 0% (but it displayed 76%), then I charged it to 100% and used it till 76% (and then crashing).

6. I booted into bootloader (TWRP) to see if this would work: it did, accu about 76%.

I flashed a new Lineage-Version (with hard reset before doing that) to make sure the system would work correctly, but still the device was crashing at 76%!

=> no software - problem...?

7. I booted to bootloader again and left the display on untill I reched about ~25% accu.

Powering the device: crash. Displaying 53% or so.

8. I read [MENTION=2233641]AdrianDC[/MENTION] article about Sony Xperia battery crashes in your Android-Oreo Thread for the Blue-Devices.

I followed the instructions: clip battery of, put charging caple in and clip accu in.

Charged to 100%.

The accu worked fine, until it reched 76%: crashing!!

9. Now I have assembled the old akku.

I try to get it to 0% and demount it.

Then I want to install the new accu, but with 0%.

Now my Question (s):

How many mistakes did I run into?

And how can I discharge the new battery to 0% without plugging it into the phone and without destroing it?

I realy would be pleased if you can help me.

Best regards!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] franco.lupo:
Hello,

What is the best ROM for the S8+ that I can get nearest to the original android without lose any function of the phone?

I always used android without modification and for reasons beyond me I got a S8+, the phone itself is awesome but I didn't like the SO (WTF is Bixby?! So annoying!!).

I don't want to be dependent of the Samsung Account (specially the cloud, backup, contacts and calendar).

Thanks you so much.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Carach_CZ:
Everyone have a favourite ROM. Just try them all and choose. Personally i drive Renovate.

Hi all, just been given a xdaIIi, 1st pda ive owned and I think its great albeit old. Ive managed to unlock it for t-mobile already using this site but would really appreciate some guidance as to what I could do to improve this unit.

any advise would be greatfully appreciated.

regards Lee.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xdavez:
Regarding 32.4.A.1.54

1 is there a UK customized version available ?

2 if i use one for a certain network would it lock my phone to that network as its currently sim free , or would it just limit me to that network in till i change the ROM ?

3 would a customized version for a different country be better ?

thanks for any reply's

xdavez
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elfmirth:

These are the UK versions atm

regarding the other questions I have no idea, I live in swe but installed Customized CH over Customized NOBA, and it's working great.

hopefully it helps
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xdavez:
hi elf cheers for the reply , my issue i dont wanna use the Vodafone one since my phone is unlocked.. O_O im assuming it just has vodafone bloatware... but i dont want to do it in case it wont accept my sim then, since its not a Vodafone one. and have to revert back to a older version.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YasuHamed:
use the MENA Arabic version. I found it much better in terms of bloatwareZ

and its in English btw, its just designed for MiddleEast

however i am not sure what bands it won't support for Europe.

however there is also CENTRAL EUROPE version which i havent tried yet
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patrick Morgan:
You can choose to exclude parts before the flash.

I exclude all .ta files

Flashing a rom shouldn't lock your phone. But flashing a rom from a different region or CDA, xould cause wifi / radio conflicts.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YasuHamed:
if your bootloader is still LOCKED then kindly first downgrade to Android6.01 and EXTRACT TA.IMG using DIRTYCOW SCRIPT available on XDA
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xdavez:
no yasu my boot loader is not locked im refering to the networks on xperifirm via the downloads... please read what im asking based on . E.g my phone is unlocked NETWORK WISE... the rom is normally use is Generic UK but its not on the latest update... but there is a Vodafone ( network provider ) in the Uk which has this rom up to date... e.g no different network bands.. but i'm assuming vodafone bloatware... also im asking based on it being a vodafone rom would it limit other network sims from working.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xdavez:
cheers

cheers patrick
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YasuHamed:
Good day dear.

thank you for explaining again. yes I got confused with the term UNLOCKED with bootloader only.

1. since your device is not SIMLOCKED you can flash any other region as long as you stay with-in your variant. the VODAFONE may have presintalled bloatware in this case try flashing central europe? (if its latest).

2. apart from anything else, consider downgrading to android6 or 5.1.1 for once, in order to EXTRACT TA.IMG

[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] phnikola:
Hi all,

just wanted to provide some user experience.

I have solid experience in debloating the roms on all devices I use (Samsung phones in last 4 years, Shield TV) but one thing I came accross in Phoenix OS that looks very strange is

CZStatisticsProvider in system/priv-app folder. (I use rooted 2.2.1 OS)

Disabling this one causes Phoenix OS to act very unstable - refusing to install the app (soft reboot), constant error reports, to refusing to continue reboot/shutdown.

I guess I dont like the name of it - as for me purpose of debloating (incl. removing gapps if needed) is also to avoid collection of user data, and I would be happy to live with some negative effects (like missing Playstore).

However - this one refuses to leave the system.

Any thoughts?
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Camlin3:
Its very clumsy when you think that it has aosp like look and features but internally a lot of codes are bonded with every stock apps than the vendor ones only.

1.This is done intentionally to make it really difficult to port usps of such free but potential aftermarket OS.(like Task bar and notification bar,)

2.Genuinely ,it can be so Intents are bonded to various native apps to gather analytics from different devices for more bug-free and stable performance.

Otherwise ,there is nothing more in Phoenix OS than taskbar,drawer and notification bar (side bar).
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] phnikola:
Do you speak on behalf of development team?

One thing is the need to protect the app from porting - but we are speaking about the app which cannot be safely removed from the system, and is called Statistics Provider...

I am quite familiar with Android essential components, and this app is not there..

Have a great day!
[Phoenix OS News, Q&A & Development] Camlin3:
That's What i told

[MENTION=381245]phnikola[/MENTION]

As i said ,various ROMS have that (statistical Provider)like in Ressurection Remix to collect various data from various system apps to provide more stability ,and intentionally necessary.

like in miui ,a lot of apps are just junk but your system may go in loop when its not available there.It is there to protect Maker's interest .

Got it ?. Its not AOSP or Individual Freeroam developer project .Its a company investment so they always try to put collar upon there products

BTW ,the root official devs dont reply even on their forum ,so u cant expect them here,when i raised voice ,they banned me on phoenix forum with spam charge.

Can someone please help? I bought the phone 2-3 days ago and yesterday was my first full charge to 100% but i noticed when i play a game, and one match of 3 minutes already reduces 1% battery drain everytime, I bought the phone for its praise for battery life (Lenovo P2) and yet i noticed battery is keeps draining, i even turned off bluetooth/locationse/etc/ and restricted ALL apps except for whatsapp, and the apps im running are: Poweramp Pro - Nova launcher prime and facebook/skype etc but rarely use those two., Is there someting wrong with my phone?

[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Extractionnn:
How do you know that yours was a sim card battery draining issue maybe mines the same? and when i installd gsam it got stuck on "calculating..." and wouldn't show any result even after 2+ hours...
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] krzylew:
It calculates since last full charge so you need to charge it fully and then leave for some time. If you you want information on which processes use most of battery you need to give it permission for BATTERY_STATS (tutorial is in the application itself, pretty straightforward). Wakelock detector give similar information, it tells you which processes and apps wake your phone the most (set it to show also system processes). Anyway, I returned my phone and went back to Samsung, no more chinese crap for me.
