[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Nope.

To lock the bootloader, connect via USB to a computer that has the SDK Platform Tools on it, and reboot to the bootloader.

Open a command prompt in your "platform tools" folder and type:

fastboot flashing lock

This will lock your bootloader and wipe the device. I believe this also sets the "get_unlock_ability" flag to 0 (which the OEM unlock switch corresponds to).

To explain this a little more simply:

There are three components in play here.

First, there is a firmware flag that determines whether the device can be unlocked at all: "ro.oem_unlock_supported". If this is set to 0, OEM Unlocking will be greyed out and unlocking is not possible.

Second, there is another firmware flag that determines whether the bootloader can be unlocked:

"get_unlock_ability". This corresponds to the OEM Unlocking switch - off is 0, on is 1. If the switch is on/flag is set to 1, the bootloader may be unlocked.

Third, there's the bootloader itself. If the "get_unlock_ability" flag is set to 0, the bootloader will refuse unlock commands. If the bootloader is already unlocked, it will override the flag.

Hope this helps and makes sense!

Usually, long-press is for selecting text, but on this Xperia it's popping up with a magnifying glass instead. Is there any way to turn this off?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] levone1:
I haven't found that to be the case. Usually long-press on Internet page selects text. You might be experiencing a function built in to a specific app...

It's not linked to an app. If you write a text somewhere and try to select it, the zoom will appear

Magnifier is useful for selecting special place for cursor on small screen. It's a feature on fields that can be edited/written in.

If you want to select a word, use double-tap.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] xichael:
I use Gboard's space bar swiping feature to reposition the cursor. Really hope there's a way to disable this. It makes selecting text inconsistent, and I truly have no need for it.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] kentaurest:
Settings > Accessibility > Magnification

Disable
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] xichael:
I don't have that option. There's something called "magnification gesture", but it's already turned off.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Dark_Horse:
Which version of Android are you using on your X Compact? Nougat has the magnification bubble when editing text but this seems to have been removed in Oreo.

Which phone is that? I only know of iPhones, Xperia's, Asus Zenfone and some early HTC phones having the magnification bubble to edit text. Shame more phones don't have it, it's very useful.

Hi, are you having an issue with the screen dimming while using chrome or any other browser? I have a L24 that got the B140 update but I'm having an issue with the screen going dim. I don't have auto brightness enabled either.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] n9yty:
Not seeing that problem here. Both my phone and my wife's did have another problem where it seemed very sluggish for the first few days, after several reboots (at least on mine)... I finally wiped my cache partition and it seems to have cleared that up, I haven't tried it on her phone just yet, but she hasn't complained about it still being a problem. That probably means it isn't a problem any more, if you know what I mean. LoL Sorry to hear of your misfortune, but it doesn't seem universal.

Actually, just to play a little, I usually keep my brightness pretty low, so I thought maybe I wasn't seeing it. So I turned it up all the way, still didn't see it. But if I do put the brightness somewhere in the middle, still with AUTO turned on, I do see a slight change in brightness when I launch Chrome, it returns to the original level when I switch from Chrome. It is a very minor change, not enough to bother me, but it seems something is happening.

[Samsung Galaxy J2 Questions & Answers] Ŕu§hi:
Try

this one

(Also this one seems to be good enough but i havent tested it out yet)

Its the best rom i have tested so far with absolutely no bugs and no bloatware and is truly super smooth

Only known bugs are the following: (which are not even worth mentioning but I'm giving details just as a disclaimer and of its possible consequences)

1. If you are thinking to flash emperor tweaks (god mod) to make it feel even more cool and smooth then you need to withdraw your thoughts, as i did flashed the same but it left my mobile hotspot unusable(which i had to fix by reinstallation of this rom) and also i didnt noticed any performance/battery difference after flashing it..so be away from messing with system/kernel data as it can modify your rom bringing in new fresh bugs, unless you are a pro in these type of things..

2. You will be required to install 3rd party applications to view/open/extract files such as zip, apk, pdf as the zip archiver is corrupted in solid explorer(comes pre installed) and pdf viewer isnt available

Otherwise everything is perfect!

Hit thanks if you found this post useful;)

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] itsmeluigi:
After I restored my Fire HD 8 (7th) to factory settings, I did NOT log in to my Amazon account.

Just skip, and do not enter your Amazon account information.

After then, it looks like alle the Amazon services are "inactive", so just about a few 150MB of Ram are

used now and 750MB are free, when I Ialso installed Play Store.

The result is a much faster OS, almost like a "clean" Fire Os, which is not loaded

full of bloatware. They are inactive, when you are not logged in with your Amazon account. :good:

This should work on other Fire Tablets too.
