No. You can flash another H930DS region, but doesn't affect IMEI. You can flash Pie KDZ manually.

If you flashed back to original region KDZ when it's released, I do not know if your OTA capability will return.

I never use OTA. I prefer full image KDZ.

Does anyone else continuously have 'high performance mode' enabled under Developer Options? I know it can hit battery life but honestly, I've had it enabled permanently for a week and couldn't see that much of an impact on battery life. The benefits outweigh the shorter battery life for me! Transformed my phone into a beast! So responsive and with the animations disabled...my goodness!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] nycionx:
I have been thinking about buying this phone but am unsure when i read so many ppl have problems with the Oreo update. Is the 7.12 that comes with the phone at least stable enough so I wont have any real issues? I dont mind staying on 7.1.2 as long as there are no problems with it, but I wouldnt want to buy this new phone and already have problems with it to make me want to return it...

Thanks for ur advice!

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] iMewo:
I listen to music, play Clash of Clan, Clash Royale etc and have no issue so far. Some ppl have hissing issue while some not (I'm one of them, maybe I dun have perfect hearing). If you like low light photography probably not recommended.

The reason I chose this phone over Meizu M6 Note bcoz I reckon there is room for improvement(just gotta be patience) and it's much cheaper with the same specs during 11.11 Sale. If you like photography, maybe can consider Meizu M6 Note as the price has lowered, and the downside is that you may not get any customized ROM and frequent updates.

Flagship mobiles dun mean the best too - http://www.androidpolice.com/2018/02/08/google-sued-2016-pixels-microphone-problems/ ...

P/s: I'm still on 7.1.2 ... I'll never be the first to update nor buy new gadget, I'd rather wait and read reviews =P
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] nycionx:
thanks for ur feedbacks peeps! I guess ill probably buy the A1 and stick with 7.1.2 until Oreo gets more stable in the coming months. i dont wanna rush it and mess up my phone, possibly brick it, only thing im worried about cuz then thats $230 down the drain..

how is Mi's support? are they good and trustworthy? seems like Oreo is taking them some time to get some critical bugs fixed like the battery drain etc. Cant be that hard/long to fix these things..??

btw to update to Oreo do i need to do such things as unlocking bootloader, rooting, etc. things that void my warrant, JUST so i can update the phone? or is this only necessary if i want to install a custom rom? I forgot androids cuz ive been using a Windows phone for the last 4 years but its time to go back as Windows mobile is dead.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] macelaru:
Only for custom ROM man. Otherwise just update it from N to O without problems.

And if you want Google Cam you'll need to root your phone. But first look what pictures you have with stock camera and decide later if you want Google cam. I'm fine with stock camera but I don't take pro pictures with a phone. For that I have a camera.

Hello

Just got myself a new piece today. I'm afraid to do anything wrong and afraid to use without installing a new ROM myself.

I have read on different forums that when you buy a global version they are often infested with malware and you have to do af fastboot update to remove it all.

I haven't powered the device up yet because I want to do things right the first time.

My intention is to have the newest official stable global rom on the phone. I just not sure which step i need to take.

If a helpful soul could advice me I would really really appriciate that :) I have found several guide but I need to know the exact right steps. It is okay if you link to a step by step guide.

Here are links that I would go with, but I'm not sure if I need to unlock and if I have to wait for 2 weeks to be approved or if there is a quicker way

Hello welcome to the yard. ?

If you're still afraid of beginning with all these great guides, better do not power on though.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] charlie_kilo:
Well eventually I will have to power it on - won't I :)

I'm not affraid to use these guides or some other detailed step by step procedure. I'm just a little confused about the order and if these guides can be used if I want newest official global stabel ROM. I guess It is more the steps than what you do in the steps - hope it makes sense

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] paulrgod:
You'll have to get it powered up and registered. Xiaomi impose a 3 day embargo on you where you cannot unlock the bootloader, I'd at least get that timer ticking away and then apply to unlock it asap.

Then you need to install TWRP. I recommend searching for the Mr Raine's version.

Pick a ROM and then off you go!
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] james1089:
Think they're trying to scare you, just look about phone check ROM number to see if it matches 1 of Xiaomi official ROM. I had vendor ROM and my house hasn't been stolen, just don't turn you're data on.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] Veritas06:
A fastboot update wouldn't remove anything that's on the device. As it sounds, it would just perform an update.

As others stated, you should get it powered on & start the unlock process through Xiaomi. You don't need to sign into your Google account, so the only thing they would have access to is the Xiaomi account you register with.

After you are able to unlock the device, get a custom recovery (TWRP) installed. You may need to try a few different ones, i.e.: The "official" one doesn't have the touchscreen when booted into it.

From there, choose a ROM, flash, & you're good to go.
[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] charlie_kilo:
Thanks for the help so far and good advices.

Update of the situation is that I powered the beauty up. I could see that it took me through the entire setup phase from the beginning like it is normal for a brand new and untouched phone. Shortly after it was updated twice via OTA and is now on the newest official global ROM.

Everything is working perfect and I am extremely happy with the phone.

Two days ago I requested Xiaomi to unlock the bootloader as I would like to root the phone.

Let me know how it goes when you do, & what you end up flashing. I'm done the latest MIUI Beta & now the Pixel Experience 8.1 ROM, & I keep losing voice call server.

[Elephone S8  Questions & Answers] Soulja00:
Hi there,

i got my new Elephone S8 and have a issue when i want to stream Youtube via Bluetooth to my headset.

It keeps sturring the whole time, but don't know why.

Maybe unstable bluetooth connectivity?

With my old smartphone Honor 7 i never had this issue!

Does anybody have the same issue or knows how to fix it?

I'm not a developer or something, but could the EngineerMode (*#*#3646633#*#*) solve that?

Thanks and regards!
[Elephone S8  Questions & Answers] map002:
Hmm, I use my S8 with a BT headset about 6-8 hours a day, mostly music and audio books, but a fair amount of YouTube as well, with no such problem.

The only issues I have had is if I was holding the phone in Landscape mode watching a video and my hand covered the upper back of the phone (where the cam lives). I suspect the radios are there and my hand was interfering with the reception/transmission of the BT radio.

If that's not it, and if it happens with different BT devices, might want to look into an exchange, you might have a defective phone.
[Elephone S8  Questions & Answers] Soulja00:
yes, this happens with different BT devices, regardless if I stream music via Youtube or Spotify... its always stuttering.

Would be a shame if I have to send it back to Hong Kong (Gearbest) just because of the costs... :(

Anybody else has an idea?

So I have a different Bluetooth problem...

While I *can* connect an Anker Bluetooth receiver to make my wired headphones Bluetooth, I can't hear anything with pure Bluetooth headphones... When they connect and I start playing sound, it makes the phone lag and nothing comes out of the headphones apart from the occasional pop.

Anyone else with this problem and possibly know a fix? I've tried doing the whole "disconnect smartwatch, connect headphones, connect smartwatch" but it hasn't worked
[Elephone S8  Questions & Answers] MOTzYouTube:
If you just received this phone, it might be better to just return it. Full of defects and no support.

Did you try changing volume when it's connected to BT.

Make sure that output is set to BT.

I had a problem with unstable BT connection aswell. Nothing worked for me from this forum and others. It can be update on some app or just some user installed app itself. I didn't check this solution on factory rom because I installed alternative rom months ago but, should work there aswell. I don't know which app it is, so my solution is radical: Factory reset + blocking updates on all apps in google play.

Normal users need not concern themselves with the Galaxy S8 Oreo kernel sources because they’re not meant for them. They’re meant for developers who want to create custom software for the handsets.

Samsung has now released the kernel sources for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ bearing model number SM-G950F and SM-G955F respectively. It’s the same firmware version G950/G955-FXXU1CRAP that the company started rolling out yesterday in Germany. Developers can now use these kernel sources to create custom recoveries, kernels and ROMs.

Everything looks normal on logs.

Brightness value has changed from 0.5 to 0.42. Based on your devices possible brightness, it is the intended value for 10 -> 9.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
From 1.9.12, MX Player uses min brightness value from the system. As a result, in most of the devices, it can reduce up to a low level than earlier. As the total range of brightness scale has increased, when you compare with 1.9.11, there could be slightly more changes on each step.

From 1.9.13 - 17(latest), it will be same.

There is one more player mx player online 2018 in that the brightness is by default 9.Its settings is more good.But ii does not support custom codec

The changes from the main version is not yet merged to online version. Once it's merged, It will be same.

Regarding custom codecs, currently it's removed due to the compatibility issues. As it's tends to change a lot, using the custom codec compiled for main version could cause compatibility issues. We will bring back it, once the online beta version is stabilized.

Hello, im new here so sorry in advance if i seem like a noob haha

I have a S8 with stock rom but rooted with magisk.

I have firmware AQK7 installed but would like to upgrade with flashfire to AQL5 so i keep all my data and root.

I use flashfire and select the zip file, uncheck the inject supersu, add to flash magisk v15.0 zip and start to flash.

The screen just turns black and the phone just reboots and nothing has changed.

What am I doing wrong?

pls help :)

I've seen this in a few places now - is rooting - or having a rooted - Huawei phone more dangerous than any other kind? Are they easier to brick? If so, why?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] CertifiedBlyndGuy:
Nope. Just as dangerous as any other device. The problem cones from using 3rdvparty software to do such things rather than just doing it yourself. The only difference is that you need to generate a device specific code from Huawei. Nothing big. Risks are imposed when doing anything outside of stock stuff but those issues are usually consequence of user error
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] rogerinnyc:
I think it's said primarily for two reasons. First there's no TWRP, so recovering back to stock is more complicated and involves, at minimum, being able to get back to Fastboot. Second, people tend to freeze or uninstall system apps that they don't understand. Huawei, reputationally, can brick if you freeze the wrong system app. Personally, I haven't experienced that, and have frozen (as opposed to uninstalled) a bunch, but I admit that I'm proceeding more cautiously.

Also, some of the earlier warnings were before [MENTION=1097168]mankindtw[/MENTION]'s rooting method -- before then the only available root cost you your AI and your themes (although the latter could be reloaded with some complexity). That's no longer the case -- the Magisk root doesn't delete/affect either. Nor, if you install the zip in his OP, does it blow up SafetyNet (although xPosed always will).
