[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] reggjoo:
Google made android go for budget phones, but there are so many older phones that could run "go". If google was smart, they'd relax the rules, and make the parameters available to ROM devs . This phone would be usable for a little longer. This would help out fragmentation too, if " go" could be put on older devices. I hope somebody looks into this, this phone still has a lot of life left.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] meatgel:
It's hard to find much information about flashing a Qwest 6800. Since it is on the Sprint network, could I just flash my phone with the Sprint directions and the Sprint ROM or do changes have to be made to it first?

Thanks for your help.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
if you want a custom rom, i think qwest provider is a choice in my kitchen, if not ill add it.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] meatgel:
That would be great. I'm a bit worried to flash my ROM, but I really want GPS.

I would also like to mention that I stalk you on the internet. :)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dark_prince:
Hi, I've recently moved on from my ZUK Z2 to V20 and I'm loving this phone. Recently discovered very little-to-none info about my puerto rican V20 though. Its H910PR v10j claro stock rom with 1st December Security Patch.

Can anyone guide me if there is a possiblity to root/TWRP this set with failsafe? I'm just noob to these recent terminologies about ARB/flashing etc for the case of V20. I have had G3 before but this V20 stuff is totally new to me.

Also, if in future, LG releases Oreo for V20, will the claro v20 get it?

Kind regards,
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
Since you are on the December security patch, you can use the normal DirtySanta root method.

As for getting Oreo, even if Claro doesn't give you Oreo, you will be able to flash the H910 version (if ANY V20 gets Oreo -- I am starting to have my doubts).

I've noticed that my internal storage is about half as normal (4.35 vs 8 GB).

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tosho1:
Hi folks,

I have two Galaxy Note3 hlte running TWRP 3.2.1-0 and LineageOS.

On one of these devices I am not able to create a backup with TWRP.

After backing up the root partition I see a message "backing up firmware" and shortly after this the device reboots into recovery again. When I omit the boot partition the backup works as expected. When I backup only the boot partition it also reboots. The other phone doesn't have this issue.

Both devices have Android 7.1-20180221-NIGHTLY-hlte installed. Baseband version is the same (N9005XXUGBPB1). Kernel version and build no. are the same, too.

Anyway the two devices are not 100% identical. At least the screens are different. Display color is slightly different, and one of them (the working one) gets a slight green or turquoise hue when I look at the display from below. The difference is not too much, but notably visible.

I had a hard time to get LineageOS on these devices because the SIM cards where not recognized after flashing LineageOS, but finally got it working. The backup problem already existed with the original ROM, too.

Any ideas what's going on here?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bottomcentre:
I'm reading that the best camera of the market is the S9's camera. Does S9 use the same sensor that S8? Is possible have the S9's camera in S8?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sofir786:
No the s9 has a different sensor than the s8, it's 12mp but now has variable aperture and dram which allows it to do the really really slo-mo vids. Saying that don't think it's possible.

And What about if you Modded the Camera.apk of S9 with the S8 value of sensor and aperture and dram ?

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] walkerx:
I've purchased sim-free Mate 10 Pro via CPW in the UK.

I've inserted a 3 sim card and phone reported detected local sim and installed some of the 3 apps and enabled wifi calling.

When I do the following - *#*#2846579#*#* then option 3, then option 4.

It shows as being H3G-GB, so has my phone automatically rebranded itself (and now sim-locked to a network) and if i change provider at later date will a replacement sim work and the branding change
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] falsivas:
I'm on three, and also noticed that as soon as I put in my three sim it downloaded the three splash screen and a couple of garbage apps that you can't uninstall.

It also does similar (not sure about splash screens) with O2 and Vodafone sims (but not EE)...

I did contact CPW about this and they stated that all their phones are sim free... it just brands itself when a sim is inserted... so I believe (but haven't tried it) that it is not sim locked to three...just branded...

Unfortunately, I do believe that some people have done a factory reset, and the three splash screen remains... so that is a bit of a bummer that you can't get rid of it !!!

If you've got a spare sim, feel free to pop it in and share the results !!!
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] walkerx:
I will contact huawei later as the phone should not get rebranded in my view - i also don't have another sim to test it with
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] chowchillacharlie:
On EE is detects the EE Sim and restarts. Installs the EE app but nothing more. It is awful that it rebrands to Three.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] walkerx:
I've logged this with Huawei, i've got an email to send some screenshots and confirmation of purchase to them. the phone should not rebrand itself to the first sim - this i think is a huawei issue as the cpw cannot sell any three product
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Brutos08:
Look at the BLA-L09 UK thread you will see my experience i had to take my phone back to CPW and get a refund and bought it from three in the end but under no circumstance put a three in back in you will get the same splash screen
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] walkerx:
I have a sim only account with three, so will be inserting a 3 sim into it
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] walkerx:
just an update, someone states they have just purchased the phone from CPW and inserted a 3 sim and it has not been rebranded. I have had a live chat with CPW regarding the phone and this is what they say

I've now raised a complaint via message to the FB customer service, lets see what happens
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] falsivas:
Just tried my unlocked phone bought from cpw in Nov. Was using a three sim since Nov....Did a factory reset, and then put in wife's O2 sim and it worked FINE..... Still got three splash screens, but phone appears to be still unlocked... good job or cpw were in for a big fight !!!
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] walkerx:
well the stance from CPW is that unless it is faulty they won't replace it and to determine if faulty they want to send it of for repair.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] numbnutsuk:
It will not lock your phone to the first sim card.

It just puts 3 splash screen on if you insert a 3 sim.

The phone is still unlocked to any network
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] falsivas:
Can confirm the above, and that inserting a sim DOES NOT lock it to the first sim card you put in... but will install the three splash screen (if it's a three sim)..
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] walkerx:
ok, just seen this on three's website - http://www.three.co.uk/discover/Three_inTouch/android-wifi-calling

this means the phones are being updated to say they were purchased through them and not a 3rd party, which then allows the wifi calling features to work.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] walkerx:
Hi all,

I have finally received an update from Huawei
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] bigup7:
Sorry to bump an old thread

Thinking about getting a mate 10 Pro, sim free version from Amazon UK.

I’m on 3 sim only, are you saying if I put my sim into this handset it will rebrand it 3 and enable WiFi calling ? Does VoLTE work too?

After this the 3 branding will remain no matter what sim I use later?

Thanks.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] maverick1103:
That's my understanding from what I've read in the UK thread. I'm on Vodafone myself and recently purchased a Mate 10 Pro from Currys and I have WiFi calling working and the Vodafone Apps installed themselves, so the response from Huawei makes sense and must be the way they are doing things now.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] numbnutsuk:
The 3 branding will remain. There is no way of getting rid of it. Even after factory wipe the 3 splash screen remains.

However the phone still remains unlocked.

There is a setting in developer options that I believe stops this from happening if you select it before you put the SIM in.

Automatic system updates needs to be un selected

But if you un select it 3 functions like WiFi calling ect will not work as it stops the 3 updates ?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] HellDiverUK:
Yeah, the Amazon UK supplied Mate 10 Pros will work with wifi calling and VoLTE (worked great on EE when had my Mate 10 Pro).

I'm thinking of moving to O2 soon, and expect they'll work OK there too...
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Sucks for anyone on 3, I had my EE SIM card in my Mate 10 Pro and it installed the My EE app which I use anyway, then I bought a O2 SIM card, factory reset and it downloaded a O2 app, but no splash screens or permanent rebranding, only tested it out because of this thread, I'm back on my EE SIM card now.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] HellDiverUK:
Official line is O2 doesn't support VoLTE or VoWiFi on Huawei phones, did you test that TheInfiniteAndroid? Not supported doesn't always mean not working...

I'm thinking of changing over to O2 because there's 4G at home on O2 but basically no signal at all on EE - have to rely on VoWiFi here, which isn't ideal.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
All I said was that EE and O2 SIM cards don't permanently rebrand or give you a splash screen man lol...
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] HellDiverUK:
I know what you said (lol). I'm asking you did you try VoWifi on O2 when you had the O2 SIM in? Wasn't a difficult question I thought? :)
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] tmohammad:
When I check (*#*#2846579#*#* then option 3, then option 4) on my CPW phone (Into which I placed an ID SIM), It tells me that its HW-EU

Presumably this means that its unbranded (ie Huawei) and European?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
No I only used a O2 SIM to see if there was a splash screen or permanent rebranding

The question wasn't difficult it's the fact you put this at the end

This made it sound like you where insinuating that I said something wasn't working

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePrisoner2:
Hallo,

in July 2017 I have installed on my Droid 4 lineageos 14.1.

Since then, the calendar has been a problem. If you enter an appointment

from Saturday to Sunday as a full day, only Saturday is saved.

If you enter the date from Saturday to Monday all day, Saturday and Sunday are saved.

If you don't enter the date all day long, but from Saturday 0:00 to Sunday

23:55 it works correctly.

Likewise, if you enter from Saturday 0:00 to Monday 23:55.

For all-day appointments, the interval is always entered one day too short.

This problem also occurs with the nightly builds installed in the meantime.

Current is lineage-14.1-20180222-nightly-maser ati-signed installed.

Does anyone know the problem?

Thank you for all your suggestions in advance.

[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scytalemk:
Hello. I have weird problem on my Lg V10 H901. On 2 to 3 days it happens for both screens to turn off, and you can't wake up the phone with double touch or with power button. And I'm sure that the phone is working because I can feel vibration feedback when I press and hold power button to go in to power menu. The cure is to pull off the battery and put back on and start the phone. For two or three times it happens to show white screen with little colored dots on it when you power on the phone. Otherwise the phone works normal. . No glitches, no heating, nothing. It just go off when it sits on desk and won't came back till you pull off the battery. I don't believe it's a screen because when it happens the both screens go off. Could it be the motherboard, processor or memory, or it's something wrong with proximity and light sensor? Any suggestions?
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raj_The_Ripper:
I had this problem as well until my proximity and light sensor completely stopped working. The sensor is not detected anymore but the issue stopped after.

I don't know about the cause but it could be because of proximity and light sensor.

I saw that LineageOS 15.1 was announced. Any idea if we will be seeing LinaegeOS 15.1 on the Note 4 variants? Are there any technical reasons it wouldn't work? I thought I read that Android O only supports 64bit devices, so that could be one reason it may not work?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animelover:
Well, if there's a device maintainer for our Note 4 willing to spend time porting it than it should be possible. But I would bet there's only a maintainer for the Snapdragon variants and not for the Exynos at best.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjasinabag:
There's always a chance for a port or a straight out official rom.

Android O was supposed to be broken into different versions, one supporting pure 64 bit and another that was meant to run on 32 bit and 64 bit with low hardware specs.

If someone could use the Oreo Go version of 8.0 as a basis for a 32 bit lineage, we might have something. But then again, my experience with Android limited, so i may be talking out my butt.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ethan3686:
So i found this thing. I dont know if this is an issue. But when i keep my brightness lower than full (say 50%) and try to watch any HDR video on Youtube the screen starts flickering or tries to go to max brightness (as its required for HDR) again and again. It looks like it is flickering but all its doing is trying to reach peak brightness.

The same video when i watch in full brightness there is no flicker. As its the highest.

Also the HDR 1080P 60 fps videos lag and stutter too much in youtube. When i download them and play on vlc on V30 there are no issues at all even with HDR which plays at 50% brightness also.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] andenq:
I just got my LG V30+ yesterday and I have the exact same problems. It seems to be connected to ambient light somehow, because it doesn't always flicker. However the audio sync issue is present at all times when watching 1080p HDR. Completely unwatchable.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ethan3686:
I dont think its an issue. I think it happens with every V30. I have checked it in showrooms too. Its more of a softare thing which LG needs to fix through a firmware update. Or you can just manually increase the brightness to top everytime you wanna see HDR video's on Youtube.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] src151:
I see the same on my V30. It's most likely Youtube app bug. It is not happening using stock Youtube app version. 15% auto brightness goes up to 100% and stay there during whole video. In recent version it is flickering between 15 and 100% during playback. Weird indeed.

In case of 1080p60 HDR stutter, it is known issue I believe. Other phones with SD 835 SoC have it similar. Google already downgraded video options in app from 1440p to 1080p, but still not quite good.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Tiago A:
Which one do you prefer? Oxygen stock apps or google apps? Why?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jhs39:
Anything Google is superior to the One Plus versions. Partly why I bought this phone was because of reviews from tech sites like XDA that said OOS was like stock Android with a few tweaks to make it better. I came from the Nexus/Pixel world and expected that kind of experience with OOS but OOS isn't anything like a stock Android experience .

At the time shameless tech shills were claiming that OOS on the OP5 was almost stock Android OOS disabled Android Doze by default and hid the toggle to enable it in the Developer Settings. One Plus even conducted a poll on their community site asking OP5 owners if they thought Doze was a useful feature. Does that sound like a company that cares about providing a stock Android experience?

Oxygen is so heavily modded an Oxygen kernel will not run on any custom ROM compiled from stock Android source. This is actually a big deal if you like to flash custom ROMs because that means developers have to create separate kernels for the OP5 depending on whether a ROM is OOS based or Android based. Most devs don't want to go through all that hassle so there are hardly any custom kernels for the OP5 that can be used with non OOS custom ROMs.

OOS is 100% coded in China by the Hydrogen operating system team and is inferior to stock Android when it comes to overall stability and also to compatibility with third party apps. Some apps from the Play Store have issues on OOS because Oxygen contains so much non standard code. The OOS version of Oreo contains a lot of Nougat coding that isn't supposed to be there so sometimes third party apps respond in unpredictable ways.

The Google versions of dialer and messaging contain more functionality than the Oxygen versions. The OOS dialer doesn't even use the stock gesture of swiping up to answer a phone call. One Plus thought doing the exact opposite of normal Android was an improvement so you swipe down to answer calls instead. Sure, you get used to the switch after a while but why should you have to? What exactly is gained?

Then there is the OOS camera app which probably provides the worst picture quality to camera hardware ratio of any stock camera app on any Android phone. The OP5 should take iPhone quality pictures with the camera hardware it has but a $150 Samsung phone takes better pictures. The OP3/3T even takes better pictures. An Oppo phone with virtually the same hardware as the OP5 takes much better pictures .

Why?

Picture this. You are a talented young software engineer who just graduated with honors from a Chinese University. Is your dream job going to be at One Plus which sells over 95% of its phones outside of China? One Plus is a very minor brand in China, the country that all of its programmers come from. Oppo and Huawei are going to get the best and brightest programmers. Then come ZTE, Xiaomi, Coolpad and TCL/Alcatel, all of which have a much larger presence in Asia than One Plus.

Basically OOS is programmed by the software engineers nobody else in China wanted so anything from Google is inevitably going to be far superior.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Eric214:
ROFL what the hell are you talking about? The phone is perfectly stable. I've never installed a custom ROM on this phone and had it since launch. I am rooted with custom recovery. No issues with the OS or 3rd party apps in my experience. I run about 60 apps. Of those only Google apps I run is sheets, docs, YouTube, calendar. The rest are 3rd party apps. I know there are some issues, but not unlike any other OEM out there.

LoL you make it sound like the phone is unstable, unusable, worst camera ever. It is the fastest, smoothest phone I've used and I came from a Nexus 6P. Also the most insane battery life of any phone with less the 4000mah battery. You sound bitter
