[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] vishnumrao:
Until recently I was on the market for a new phone. I had settled down on two choices: the PH-1 and OP 5T. Given that I had previously bought a OP2, I was trending towards a OP5T. But I ended getting the PH-1. Primarily because of OP's sofware update policy. It is downright unacceptable.

A couple of years ago, I bought my dad the OPT (OnePlus Two). They did not bother to push out Nougat update though Nougat arrived just a few months after the OPT. Ultimately I installed LineageOS on the OPT. But OP's software upgrade policy drove me away. Once bitten, twice shy.

One another reason I am disappointed with OP is their "no" to Treble support for existing devices as they upgrade to Oreo. Atleast they were straight about it, unlike other fiasco's like the data collection & push ads etc. Don't get me wrong. Not bashing OP for nothing. We love the OPT. Hardware still runs great with the LineageOS ROM.

But this time its the Essential PH-1. They have shown commitment to upgrade to Oreo with the beta on 11/14. Also some of the very recent updates to FW and to the camera app, the camera performance has improved significantly. The new portrait mode does bokeh very nicely. I would keep the PH-1!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] thisguy159:
i like to tinker with software so 5t has me interested at the same time I no longer want to root so really what it comes is is a bonus...i am leaning toward essential atm. WIll drive one for 1 week then the other for 1 week and see where i land. I hear you about the OP fiascos with the op2 etc i guess not to worried there. Not sure I like Rubin being away from essential i feel like he is the one pushing the boundaries there. I do like how quickly they have been updating...hope the wireless dock is not stupid...1 thing i really hate is no qi charging. I don't like samsung so that is out flirted with LG but don't like it enough to justify the price, if it was stock i would buy it all day long for what they charge.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Forgetfull:
The one plus has a better screen, more responsive digitizer, historical better development, longevity as a company, better camera, bigger battery, smoother release.

But.....

At that price differential the PH-1 probably wins out. My opinion that the 1+ is better assumes the 450$ essential VS a 550 1+
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Airwolf79:
I'm having a hard time justifying keeping the PH1 and not getting the 5T. I still have my OP3 as a backup and I like everything better, but the size. I mean, build quality of the PH1 is amazing, but not the screen. Besides, the only time I ever get to admire the build quality is when I take it out of the case, which I won't go without. Even though my OP3 is 1½ yr old, the fluidity of the software with that screen is just so much better, not to mention the haptic feedback is perfect, not like the stupid overly strong haptic feedback on the PH1. I just love the size of the PH1, it's perfect. OP, I don't blame u asking for help making this decision. It is a really tough one. If I had to though, I would lean towards the 5T.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] oowaymike:
Ive had the op2 and op5. When I bought the op2, I felt the value of my purchase was solid for 2 years, it was the best value phone hands down. Now oneplus had an upward trend of rising prices that suddenly peter out bc of some competition from the essential. On top of the fact that their T releases always are better than their main numbered releases just seems extremely counter intuitive. On top of all the negative press they've been getting, makes me really wonder about the integrity of the company. Could their prices be cheaper seeing as how premium the essential is in the same price range? Did they really not have the technology to push a bezeless phone on their op5 release? I no longer trust oneplus, and will reevaluate the phone market in 2 years or so when I'm ready for an upgrade. My op5 got stolen, and so far I'd love to keep using essential as long as they stick around in the same price range.

I always rock a 50 dollar otterbox on my ops, but so far have been just using a tempered glass protector with no problems. So factor in a 128 gb phone with otterbox would put the phone close to 600 whereas I paid 400 for the essential. The essential over op5t is a no brainer for me.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] combat goofwing:
Last Monday morning I ordered the one +5T,then I seen the Amazon offer for the PH1 and it was a no-brainer ,I immediately ordered the PH1 and cancelled the 5T.Software can be tweaked and with the amount of updates essential are pushing ,it's only going to get better.Hardware your stuck with once purchased and nothing comes close to the PH1
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] thisguy159:
Combat same story with me except I choose to receive both then decide. I don't care about the recent bad press of OP every manufacture has some kind of data collection and every manufacture has had this issue including Samsung...op responded and adjusted. I also don't care that op upgrades fast somebody always does on monthly basis might as well be op.

I do care however that op didn't come with Oreo basically allows op to not support the device as long and stop at 9 instead of 10. In fairness the phone will be gone by then but this kind of strategy from a company frustrated me more then the other two issues listed above.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Croak:
PH-1. Design and build. Semi-pure Android. Ridiculous $145 price. Possibly unfounded hope for Essential as a company I'd like to see stick around. And I rarely take pictures of anything that isn't a whiteboard or my thumb.

And last but not least:
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] lukas3d:
Hi there,

I tried to fully unroot my Mate 9 and revert it back to factory defaults, but somehow I broke my device. I think it's because I wiped something in TWRP, but I'm not sure what :/. At the moment these are all the facts I have:

- Device: MHA-L09C432B182 [rooted]

- OEM Unlock was greyed out in settings --> FRP locked

- Android doesn't boot up, instead Huawei erecovery shows up which doesn't help at all

- TWRP is inaccessible (tried different key combinations on boot)

- I can only go into fastboot & recovery mode

- When trying to flash boot_a.img or recovery_a.img with fastboot I get FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

I don't know what to do now. Hope somebody can help.

Thanks in advance :)

EDIT:

I used DC-Phoenix to flash the last firmware I rembered having on the phone (MHA-L09C432B182 in my case). A full tutorial can be found on the DC-unlocker website. I was able to boot into Android again. Then I used HiSuite to install the latest firmware and everything went fine. Now my phone is locked and FRP (fastboot FRP) is locked. The update programm shows up in settings.

Everything is in its initial condition.

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] lukas3d:
Well, I don't really want to pay for something, if I don't know if it will even work.

I first contacted support to ask, if they could give me an old image that still supports dload. They didn't have one, so I looked for similar firmware for other huawei devices, in order to install that and look further, but it didn't help.

However, I'll do some more research on my own and post the results here.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Yachter99:
Has anyone found a way to use Cellular Data while on a phone call? (Verizon V30 without being on WiFi) I've found posts saying that turning off the Advanced Calling feature does get you 1X data service, which it does, but what about getting full 4G working? Anyone have similar experiences?

Thanks

I've never understood this.

I've been on calls and had emails come in. I've been on calls while using my hotspot with no issues.

So what am I missing?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] CharlzO_2000:
I just tested mine, on a regular 4G connection here at work. Was able to dial into my VM and listen to all the playback, and then go play around on data as normal. Not sure what the issue might be going on. I haven't changed any call settings (other than enabled wifi calling at home).
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] k0byf1ch:
Hi, I'm having issues with booting recovery.

I've successfully rooted my phone before, but because of an OTA update, had to revert back to the flashing of recovery (TWRP), booting recovery, then flashing Magisk steps.

So, I have my recovery.img file which I renamed to "twrp.img" (no double twrp.img.img file extensions). It looks like I'm able to flash it successfully, giving something that looks like this when I run "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" (in the directory where the recovery image is located):

​

However, after I try the "fastboot boot recovery twrp.img" command, it gives me:

​

When I try to restart into recovery, it just boots into stock recovery, and not TWRP.

Any help would be super useful, I'm really not able to figure this out. I've done a lot of research, even going through disabling/uninstalling the Kedacom USB drivers and turning airplane mode on and installing adb/fastboot drivers from XDA.

Thanks!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jhs39:
Why are you flashing two recovery images? Maybe I'm missing something but I'm not understanding what it is that you are doing.

Your problems could also be related to whatever version of TWRP you are flashing on whatever OS you are running. Maybe there is a compatibility issue between the two but without more specific information it's pretty much impossible to say.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] k0byf1ch:
I'm just flashing one recovery.img file (TWRP), which doesn't display any errors in the flashing in command line. But when I try to boot it in command line, it gives me the above error that the recovery doesn't exist. When I try to boot it by advanced restart -> recovery, it just takes me to the stock recovery.

I'm on Oxygen 4.5.14. Let me know if there's anything else I can provide.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] 1rahul:
Rename your Recovery file to twrp.img

Seems like you forgot to do that according to your command

Edit:Sorry I kind of Missed that its already Done

Please Ignore My Upper Message

Possible another Solution:

Download Another Recovery File and Do the Same again
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] k0byf1ch:
I've renamed the file since, and it still has been a problem.

Both recovery.img and twrp.img and the original name of the file "twrp-3.1.1-cheeseburger-84-20170820-194433-CEST.img" wouldn't take.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ptblad:
The file name is irrelevant. But it seems like your command to boot into recovery is the problem: fastboot boot only takes one argument (the file to boot into) whereas the fastboot flash command takes two arguments (partition and file to flash).

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

fastboot boot twrp.img
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] k0byf1ch:
Okay, I'll give that a shot but I'm still booting into the stock recovery when I advance restart into recovery.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] TickLe MY eLMo:
I bought 3 cases for my xl 2, and although the other two were nice cases, they weren't diztronic cases. The first one i bought was this ringke case, and it was a pretty solid case, though it was a little slippery and the texture on the back meant my popsocket wouldn't stick to the phone. The second one i bought is this one by a chinese company called x-level, it was a really interesting super thin tpu case, and was nice but didn't have a lip to protect the screen and was a little too thin for my liking(and my popsocket didn't stick to it well either).

After trying these two and them not working out, I did what I always do, I ordered a diztronic case which I received yesterday and it is perfect, just like every one I've had previous(Nexus 6, 6p, xl 1). Diztronic and Cruzerlite were the only companies I trusted with tpu cases and I used to swap between the two throughout the year, and now that Cruzerlite is gone, looks like my first and only choice from now on will be Diztronic, and you know what? I'm perfectly okay with that. Honestly, they are one of the best case manufacturers out there, consistently great products at a great price. The only thing I could complain about is the looks of their cases are a bit bland but I'm just accepting that functionality is more important.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] nlua:
I bought a diztronic case for my Shamu which I still carry on me and the only time it wasn't in the case was just to clean it every once in a while. I'm probably going to buy one for my pixel but just waiting to see if they come out with another variant with more corner protection.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] BigWhyte:
so, i am legally blind. I bought a samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition on the huge amount of recommendations that i received from many people. It was purchased through Amazon from a 3rd party seller business. After a few months the os starting getting crazy. Seller advised resetting to factory defaults. I did this . Now it is stuck on a screen asking for a samsung account. I dont have one. I contacted Samsung and they said that since it came from this 3rd person business seller through Amazon and since it appeared that it was a non-USA model (???) that there was nothing they could do unless i was able to get the serial number or IE number for it from the seller as it does have one printed on it where it should be. Verizon said "Huh so you dont have service with us....we cant help..call Samsung". The seller is no longer in business. Long story short i needed this to be able to read books and a lot of other stuff. It worked super great when it was working....now its a $350 paperweight!!!

Can anyone help me????? I am somewhat PC savvy and understand somethings about roots and the like, but i have beeen out of doing that stuff for several years. so details on how to's might be needed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and you would be doing a huge good deed by helping a handicapped pwerson get back the only real visual aid i have. Thanks ahead of time for any help given.

Sorry man, the Verizon model so far cant have its bootloader unlocked, so any hopes of finding a way to break the lock are gone, you got scammed, a locked device is most likely a lost/stolen device, Id contact the bank and tell them about the scam if I were you.

yeah I had this happen with a tablet from work. I had 2 smaller galaxy tabs returned from employees. one was locked down with an account that we have NO IDEA how the employee put in there. He left and we had literally no way to unlock the tablet. The worst part was the phone/tablet guy was just going to give them both to me because they were going in the trash. I tried everything to bypass the account, came here and it was confirmed, not happening. I kept the good one and then put the other aside for an extra screen.

[Windows 10 Mobile] compu829:
so technically this is possible as the 6071W has a direct Android counterpart: the TCL 950. They both share identical hardware.

The biggest issue is that the Windows version and the android version are signed with different certificates. As a result, someone needs to bypass signature checks on the 6071W to allow loading of the other firmware.

What might be interesting is if someone gets a TCL 950, roots it, and then installs the OS portions of the 6071W image, they might be able to have a dual-boot device.

Updating through Firmware Finder but No Badges for all apps! & slow wifi connection

I received my 32GB Huawei Mediapad M3 from Amazon USA and because of no updates available, I used firmware finder and sent the 2.49GB firmware (the middle one) to my updater, then I applied the top one skipping the 2nd one with the 656MB (thinking that it's the same version as the 3rd one).

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JBWb7LffXYm5I7mpSv54NIrXzWYHD0ET

Am I fine with what I did? or I should install that second update?

Another remark is that I can't see all app badge notifications like FB, Pages Manager...etc but I can see it for some apps only which is weird (plz see screenshot below)

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ILk8vvnL9AR86FK2trhTuVwEmkcEtimJ

The 3rd issue which annoys me a lot is the very slow wifi connection. I'm quite sure my router is innocent because my 4 year old phone (LG G2) is having my full connection speed (which is about 14 Mbps) but my tablet is just taking only up till 2 or 3 Mbps! (I used speedtest). Is it because I'm using non-official ROM or something? Can I get a link - with instructions - on how to download the latest official ROM?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] fidrat:
What vers did you get to begin with? Was it C128B005?

What update method did you use? The DNS, or the proxy or SD card?

Is your bluetooth working? Do you have all the apps that were there when you first got it?

I think the one you used is the full update, and the others are incremental updates.

You used the B351 update to get from B350 to B351. If you wanted to use the B350 incremental update, I'm not sure what version it would update from.

Did you try to get updates from the HiSuite PC program?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] magoooood:
I used Firmware Finder and I sent my update to the updater.

Bluetooth and GPS are turned off.

I don't know the original build that came with the tablet fresh out of the box but it was the old Marshmallow with EMUI 4.x.

I indeed used the bigger full update (2.5GB) first and then updated to build B351 (which was around 70MB)

I'm downloading the HiSuite PC Program right now and I'll check what I can do with it because I'm not happy with the WIFI performance at all at the moment. When I downloaded the firmware using the proxy method, the whole update downloaded very quickly using the same exact router so I'm quite sure the updates with the Wifi on my tablet are not playing well together.

Updates:

I don't know what happened all of a sudden but the wifi speed return back to the normal speed I'm used to.

HiSuite doesn't show any recent updates as it tells me I have the latest.

I tried to recover my tablet and start fresh but HiSuite doesnt' support my tablet!

Hey guys,

I would appreciate your help here.

I've flashed NitrogenOS Oreo and set a pattern to run on startup (encrypted).

After I've rebooted the phone the pattern stopped working, the pattern kept working in TWRP.

Methods I've tried to resolve the issues:

- Tried to remove all lockscreen's related file according to the following ( https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/remove-lockscreen-recovery-t3530008 ) .

- Cleaned flash another rom

- Cleaned flash a backed up rom

- Factory reset

- Updated to the latest blu spark recovery

- Tried flashing Cardinal Xtended

the result is the same - the rom does not accept any pattern, TWRP accepts all pattern, no files exists in /date/system

What am I missing here? this is the first time i'm running into this kind of bull****

EDIT: Seems like an hardware issue, the internal sdcard is totally not recognized after a format from fastboot

edit #2: got resolved, thanks.
