[General Topics] Mr.Koala:
While black bars look as annoying as they do, this problem is only relevant if you consider photo/video viewing as a primary use case of the phone. Most phones in the last year or two are hardly advertised as mobile p/v viewers. High end OLED phones have more or less the same screen IQ (which often goes beyond what the content is made for), while decoding performance has been more than enough on a small screen for a long time. So there isn't much money to make from "my phone does YouTube better than yours".

If you're a heavy mobile p/v user, the current situation on the market sucks for you. But calling them "brain-dead" when what they do makes business seems to do little to make your life better.

I do agree with the finger gymnastics comment which should apply to the majority of users that have normal human hands.

Edit: Didn't notice this was a November 2017 post.

I hear you…

I hear you man. The new super long, super stretched or super whatever aspect ratios are STUPID :crying: DUMBASS.

I use my 16:9 smartphone a lot in landscape for browsing the internet, and at times it already annoys me the relatively reduced “height”. Some webpages even stick stupid onscreen squatter bars when in landscape, let me show you an example (I use a reduced screen dpi to maximize my screen content, 256dpi from the default 415,5dpi of my device):

Portrait mode, no bars.

Landscape, big squatter bar which cuts content. :eek:

Any time the aspect ratio is increased the screen becomes less flexible. 4:3 or even full square :fingers-crossed: owns LoL. 16:10 is great, can live with 16:9 but anything beyond that is MORONICAL. :silly:

Cheers fellows :cowboy:
[General Topics] Spaceminer:
I don't care if this thread is old. I agree completely. I'm using an 18:9 phone and I hate it. Everything is too narrow. I use my phone exclusively in landscape except when making calls. The 18:9 gives me black bars or cut off picture on everything. The length makes the keyboard near unmanageable as well. Finger gymnastics like crazy and typos everywhere! Never again. They also need to get rid of the hole punch, notch, dimple idea too. It looks terrible. Try watching full screen video on that. You'll hate life. And I don't even want to think about gaming... I refuse to buy another phone isn't 16:9, or 16:10.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teddy Lo:
Hi , try this :

1. Unplug your device from pc

2. Open Sp Flash Tool with Administrator privileges

3. Go to Download and put scatter.txt file

4. Now go to Format and make sure that you have checked Auto Format Flash and Format whole except Bootloader , click on Start , wait few second and

close Confirmation popup

.

5. Now go to Download and instead of Download only do Format All + Download .

If not , try then Upgrade only or try to flash with another version of flash tool .

Good Luck :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sovenn:
maybe solution

So i had the same problem and the solution for me was to hold volume up key as i was connecting and keep pressing until the red bar is 100% then after a few seconds release it.

Apparently i cant post links but i will copy the tutorial.

With the phone off:

- Click DOWNLOAD in SP Flash Tool

- Hold VolumeUp on your phone

- Connect the phone while still holding VolumeUp

- Hold VolumeUp a couple of seconds after the red bar gets to 100%

- Release

What worked for me ...

After following

https://www.getdroidtips.com/flash-stock-firmware-using-sp-flash-tool/

I got the

error status brom cmd send da fail 0xc0060003

message.

I started doing what was said by Teddy Lo, but it was not better.

I kept my current cession (SP Flash Tools 5.1752 started with administrative mode);

went into format tab, left FORMAT WHOLE EXCEPT BOOTLOADER

clicked on START, then STOP

then in download TAB

in the select menu, choose format+download

click DOWNLOAD button

... got the 0xc0060003 message ...

but ... immediately cancel this pop-up and reclick on DOWNLOAD asap. And then, flash goes fine (DA again with red bar, then, all partitions with yellow bar).

This way, I have been able to reinstall ROM v6 on Oukitel K6000 Plus.

Never had to press down or up volume during start-up; just let phone boot; or press voldown+power to stop/restart it, if it is already started somehow. My phone was in orange state, and my system was completely broken (not bootable, not usable). I only had working bootloader and recovery; I tried various other ways to install stock ROM, all failed. I had boot loops and other issues. In the end, I went back to SPFT, and just cancelling and reclicking ASAP on the DOWNLOAD button did it for me.

Now trying ROM v23 ... (will edit in 1h about it).

... happily for you, my windows crashed, and I had to restart the whole process, so now I can write down the working procedure:

- phone was up with ROM v6 working fine

- phone was plugged on USB

- previously installed VCOM

- could not install Android/Download driver

- Oukitel K6000 Plus

- SPFT 5.1752 started with admin perms

- DA already set to MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin

- scratter ... the only file available in the folder containing my new rom (official V23 from Oukitel, downloaded last year, so forgot where I took it - yes it's one year I am trying to upgrade)

- in the menu, select format all + download

- go in format TAB

- tick AUTO format

- tick FORMAT ALL except bootloader

- leave validation unticked

- click on START, wait 5s, click STOP

- back in Download tab

- click DOWNLOAD button

- press voldown+power to reboot the phone

- got the pop-up once with error 0xc0060003

- immediately cancel the pop-up and reclick DOWLOAD button

- got the pop-up a second time, cancel it a second time, click DOWNLOAD a third time

- sweat a lot ... DA again ... partitions again, yellow lines ... V23 installed \o/

Some steps may be be useless or optionnal; this was the raw log/history of what I did to work around "error status brom cmd send da fail 0xc0060003".

First boot is VERY long ...

Hello I keep getting this error status da selection 0xc0030003

Any help or advice would be great help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sauray:
1. There are two stock ROMs officially available for your device. Are you sure you are using the correct one?

2. Are you sure you are using a compatible download agent (DA)? If the default "MTK_AllInOneDA.bin" isn't working, check your ROM zip to see if you have anything else... Maybe DA_PL.bin, DA_SWSEC.bin or DA_SWSEC_CRYPTO20.bin might work for your device.

The error you are getting makes it clear that you are trying to use an incompatible DA.

Look into my suggestions, and if you still get the error, I'd recommend you to create a new thread, where you're more likely to get help (and sooner too).

solution 101

Hey guys, For those people out there whos' problem stays the same and the above-given solutions don't work cause I know, it doesn't work in all phones(I've tried it several times and stock on the same error). I've been researching this problem and none appears to be the solution that works. From the hints that I've gathered this solution work for me and might be for you also.

Assuming you have opened the SP flashtool and the scatter file is placed.

1. click download

2. connect your phone

3. list down all the names that caused your problem and do it several times

#for me : systeminfo, sutinfo, cda and recovery are the causes.

4. uncheck all the problems until none remains and you're done.

I hope this works on you guys. :good:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nielsync:
To unbrick you should look for your device's Secure Boot DA (Download Agent) Loader file. If you are lucky you can find it somewhere on the web, if not, take it to service center. Also make sure you are running SP Flash Tool as Admin and with a properly working USB cable and drivers. According to Hovatek, SP flash tool is unable to read or write to the device using the preset Download Agent.

None of the above tricks worked for me. Here is summary why I am even doing it.

I was having issue with google services on my new phone that i got from Amazon. So I did factory reset few times but still having issue so i thought flashig might help and i used Mototola tool Rescue and smart assistant and found correct version of moto g8 power lite XT2055-2. But after flashing my phone just hard brick. No power on, not going to recover model, don't charge when plgged in and don't even recognised by laptop when i plug in. The only thing i can see when plug into laptop or power source is red tiny light whic you normally get while charging. other wise phone is dead. I tried SP flash tool but got error as soon as click download. And error is ;

ERROR: STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL_(OxC0060003). another thing i noticed is when phone is usb connected i keep hearing sound for usb conenct and disconnect every 10-15 seconds. looks like phone is jnot connectign well to PC. I installed all posisble drivers for win 10. I installed mediatek driver, motorola drivers etc. my phone is internation version of Moto G8power lite from south America region.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
Has anyone else noticed that 100% battery lasts much longer than any other percentage?

For example, last night I had my phone charging while I was watching TV and fell asleep. When I woke up a took my fully charged phone and went to bed while leaving it off the charger. I woke up five and a half hours later with the battery still at 100%. I then used it for 15 minutes of browsing before it finally dropped to 99%. However, if I had went to bed with less than 100% it would have drained probably 1-2% in the same amount of time with no usage at all. It almost seems like 100% is really only like 98% and it can actually be charged to more than 100%. After it drops to 99% the drain rate is pretty consistent.

I actually noticed this when I first got the phone almost a month ago and at first I thought there was a problem with the phone being stuck at 100% because it stayed there much longer than any other percent.

Anyone else see this? It doesn't really bother me since everything below 100% is very consistent. I'm just curious.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] r0adki111:
Same happens here. I listen to music (bluetooth to truck stereo) for about an hour everyday on the way to work. When I get there it still says 100% every day. Then after about an hour in my pocket doing nothing it magically says 96%. I have been suspecting that the on screen percentage is not registering the drop in power for a short while. But maybe I'm wrong.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] New Rising:
I remember the Nexus 6p used to do that, haven't experienced it yet with my pixel though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Agyr:
I have noticed that as well. Usually, my ~30 minute bus ride consists of my phone draining between 5% to 10%. But when I have the phone start from 100%, it's never drained beyond 5% by the end of it. Must have something to do with the fact that the phone charges slower when it reaches 80% or above (which they only claim to prolong battery health, not battery life). Eh, won't complain about it :fingers-crossed:
