Pixel 2 XL. I kind of hated that phone. Massive blue tint, cheap build quality, random reboots and terrible call quality and cell signal. I don't miss it one bit. I'll give pixel another shot when they stop using LG.

Got an A8 (2018) to replace a dead Mate10 Pro. The A8 was dead on, but a little slow, and only 1080p 30fps video sort of sucked a little, too. I'd forgotten how good Samsung's screens are, so decided the S9+ was the phone.

The smaller pixel is better. I had pixel2 but screen size is what kills it. Happy with my debloated s9+ now :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
As Google acquired HTC's design team and as Google possibly has learnt a lesson already from the Pixel 2/2 XL issues , there is a strong possibility of not doing the same mistakes with the upcoming successors.

Pixel 2 XL, I did enjoy the phone it was just mostly "lack luster" for me. Switched to the S9, hated it's battery life so I returned it within the month and got the S9 Plus and I am more than happy!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CharlzO_2000:
Coming off an LG V30 and an iPhone X. The X was a spare phone, that I used basically for Netflix and hotspot data, the V30 was my daily driver. After the Oreo update on the V30 killed it's multi-tasking ability, I've been trying to talk myself into something else, even if it wasn't a giant upgrade on paper. Never had an issue other than the poor front-facing camera on it, but after that update, it got to where even after a fresh reboot, the phone would freeze, stutter, and lock up for good chunks any time I had Torque, Waze, and music playing. Anything else, and it was done. So, the S9+ it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Esterra:
Today switched from Mate 10 Pro to S9+ exynos.

Before the mate i had the s8+
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kendive:
I had an S8+ (Verizon) gave it to my wife and got this unlocked S9+. I like the phone ok. I just wish Samsung would put better radios in these things. S9+ with the Moto X Pure Radio would be the perfect phone. Well Maybe. Probably gonna pick up an used Pixel 2 XL soon to try out and get back into rooting and all. Kinda stopped doing that.

I still believe the S9+ is more buggy than the S8+

Redmi Note 3 & iPhone 6 Plus.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] SquireSCA:
Essential. The 9+ is an awesome phone, my main concern is that Samsung sucks when it comes to updates. The Essential got Android Pie, about 45 minutes after Google released it.

We will get it when, December? I mean, we are still on Android 8.0 FFS, while everyone else got 8.1 months ago...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Deathman20:
Sadly that is such a huge downside with Samsung. The update of the OS takes next to forever, and most likely will get 8.1 before they even consider 9.0. Here thought with the implementation of that upgrade function it would be easier. Forgot the specific name of it but S9/S9+ was one of the first to have it, and make updates easier to do.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] SquireSCA:
The problem is that Samsung has so many phones and their only concern is selling you the next phone, that software totally gets put on the back burner.

I am hoping that Project Treble will help this, but I doubt that it will. That's the downside to owning a Samsung. It's the top tier phone for 2 weeks, and then it falls behind as they focus on the next phone and leave you hanging... LOL

Faster, meaning a 1% variance in a synthetic benchmark, which is well within the margin of error. :)

LG V30+. Worth it, better speakers and like the telephoto camera vs the ultra wide angle that LG had.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xDreDz:
What do you even get from the "latest" updates? Its mostly just security updates and rarely new features. People whine about samsung having slow updates but those updates doesn't even give a huge impact. And if you have root and custom rom you shouldnt even care about those
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] suenky91:
I had the LG G5, totally Worth the upgrade!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] blud7:
Coming from the Note 5 which still rocked. If I hadn't cracked the screen, I wouldn't have bought the S9+ and after using it a while, not sure I would have NEEDED to. Yes the phone is better in several ways, but a necessary upgrade? IDK>

[Huawei P10 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] rdragoni:
I had the "TWRP not saving preferences" issue since a long time and just found a fix by chance.

Background:

P10 Lite updated (this erases the bootloader unlock, custom recovery and SU), re-unlocked, re-rooted.

So far, the default storage is still "internal sd".

With this configuration, TWRP resets its preferences at every reboot (timezone, vibration duration, ...)

Actions:

Changed default storage to "external SD"

Copied (NOT MOVED, COPIED) the folder "TWRP" from the root of internal storage to the root of external SD.

Now everything works :)

Note:

I believe that the only mandatory file is ".twprs" contained in the twrp folder. I had nothing in the backup sub-folder.

cheers

[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] LotR656:
Hey guys,

I am pretty sure that Xperia XA had 6.0.1. update. So is it true? I upgraded to Nougat right away and after a year I downgraded to Marshmallow to backup TA particion because I want to root. After downgrade to MM I got updates for security patches and I installed them all until I received update for Nougat. When I checked Android version it says 6.0. Is there a way to get that 6.0.1 update, because I find MM nice and I want to stay on MM?

I downloaded MM ftf from Xperia forum UK generic, because it was UK software when I unpacked it.

Btw when I check gsm arena it says 6.0.1 LINK

Need to see if the camera is up to snuff first
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] pakole:
It depends on the difference between xz2 and xz2 premium. Right now I am leaning to an Asian version of XZ2, but if the new camera design does something novel, then I might consider it.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] Mits5139:
Most probably depending on the camera quality

I’m hoping to purchase it. I enjoy my photography and have loved Sony phones in the past. Love the build quality of the XZ2 from what I’ve seen. Almost purchased the XZ2 until the premium was just announced.

Some of my previous phones have been fairly heavy in the past so should be able to adapt to it again lol. Have a iPhone X at present so use to the dongle now as well as Bluetooth headphones so no big problem there.

If the picture quality can match or supersede the current crop of smartphones Sony can have my money. They make great sensors but if they can also get the software right ie speed of capture etc they’ll be onto a winner. I know at present phone cameras will never match the likes of my dslr or Sony compact camera but it’s nice to be able to take impromptu shots. Looking forward to the release even though they’re saying it may not come to the U.K.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] AndiThebassman:
I'm definitely thinking about it. Depends a lot on how the camera fares in real life and what other manufacturers will offer. For now I'm torn between the xz2p, p20 pro, and maybe u12, op6 or whatever Nokia is going to bring us with the X. It's gonna be a tough choice.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] chrisjcks:
I am.

Although a couple of things bother me, i would have liked a bit more screen to body & i really don't understand why they removed the invisible fingerprint sensor from the power button!

other than that, everything is looking top-spec as id expect.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] sev7en:
I am in!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] tomo100brt:
It depends on the camera because I have XZ2 . But higher probability is that I will buy it and grab another gift from Sony. I am wondering what gift will they give with XZ2 Premium.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] wakers:
No XZ2 forum ? I've had the XZ2 in the uk for the last 2 weeks, really really good phone, came from a Pixel 2 XL which i always found a bit big... Battery life with the new processor is incredible, sony have done a great job... Camera is pretty good not as good as the Pixel 2 XL, but not to far away...
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] FartyParty:
Yup, didn't bother getting the XZ2, will just get this instead!

5.8" 4K display, dual cameras, 6GB ram etc.

Yes

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] NexusGTS:
yup, my z5 is getting very old so i need an upgrade and i can't wait untill the xz3 premium is launched :lol:
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] AndiThebassman:
Can't wait until somebody gets their hands on the phone an I can watch some reviews. Seems like Sony just announced it and now they just let it be forgotten. New HTC and Oneplus will come and I probably will have bought something else before we hear any more news again
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] presets:
For sure. It´s the most promising camera setup so far (except P20 Pro maybe) and I also had XZ2, which is a great phone. We only have to know when they release it... "Summer" could mean June or end of August. Even in Japan NTT Docomo talks about "Summer". Sony said now at their latest investor conference they will focus with Sony Mobile on European market. So I really hope that they release this phone better today than tomorrow.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] pakole:
Now, more than likely I got the XZ2 and I am really enjoying it.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] Slash8915:
It really depends. If they release it soon, I may jump on it. But if they wait until the end of summer, I'm probably going to wait and see what the Pixel 3 XL offers.

I would love to pick this phone up, however I'm having trouble finding the bands supported on the US Premium version.

Does anyone know if Verizon will be supported?

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

Found this.

https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-sony-xperia-xz2-premium

Have verizon bands at least lte.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] jal3223:
Hope that site is accurate. I'd be okay with Volte only.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] bill3508:
Yep, using the xz2 compact now, no issues in my area using lte only.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] jal3223:
I think the compact had the LTE bands required but the regular XZ2 didn't. It will be interesting to see if they include them or not.

By the way, how is the signal on the compact?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] bill3508:
That's what I don't understand, specs show the xz2 as having same network specs as the compact. Maybe its a volte issue. As far as signal I've had no issues. Same as the Axon 7, and Essential as my most recent. Device is very fast with excellent battery life. Camera wise I'm still waiting on gcam for it as I think Sony's program introduces too much processing.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] jal3223:
Looks like you're right! It does have the same bands as the compact. I think I just thought otherwise because all of the headlines were going on about the Compact being "certified" with Verizon. As long as the bands are the same it should work. This is encouraging regarding the XZ2 premium though. Let's hope for the best!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] dhionisis:
Really?is there anyone here that considers to buy the xz2 premium?after the fiasco with xz2?no wifi calling, no volte,no CDMA support, why should I buy something that is useless in usa?all usa carriers are switching to VOLTE and have very little support on 3g and 2g,is there anyone that want a phone that when you try to make phone call the signal drops to 3g or 2g and most of the times it drops the call?why you want to buy that phone when it does not support the basic?I lost $4000 on xz2 and I will never,never buy Sony products again and I am not talking about phones but anything that has Sony logo.and I suggest no person from USA should buy Sony phones at least until they support our market, volte,wifi calling and cdma support
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] dhionisis:
And I see some of you believe that the xz2 works on well wrong, it does not work, you can surf the web on LTE but the xz2 does not support VoLTE and when you try to make phone call you the no network available, connect to network or wifi to make call, and funny stuff you are on lte full signal and you will get that message, you switch to wifi with 150mb/s speed and wifi calling enabled as the only option and you will get the same message. I was at Verizon store and they try everything to register the phone on there network with the IMEI but was impossible, they call there tech on front of me and they asked how is that possible to have internet all bands but impossible to make phone calls and to register to the network, guess what it may look the same but is not, because it has all the LTE bands does not mean that support VoLTE and because there is a option to enable wifi calling still does not mean that support wifi calling. From Verizon to tmobile, from tmobile to AT&T and on all three networks will work only to surf the internet but as soon as you try to make phone call, Verizon will say connect to network, tmobile will drop to 3g or 2g and 50% of the time will drop the call, AT&T will drop from lte to 3g and most of time the call will go through do not make the same mistake I did and I lost $4000 before you buy ask if it supports VoLTE and wifi calling if not do not I repeat do not buy because you will loose your money, look the xz2 on Amazon. It started at $800 and now is at $500 because no one buys.

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

I like sony phones and I still have the Sony X10a, yes 10 years ago but for some reason Sony and US carriers are having issues and I think is all about the money, for a phone to work on tmobile, tmobile has to add support on it by releasing there software and is the same with all carriers, I guess Sony does not want to pay for the modified phone software and the carriers have no interest spending money on Sony phones, so I guess Sony decided to support only European and Asian markets for some reason, I guess the USA ask to much to modify the software to be compatible with their network and Sony does not want to pay.this is monkey business, Sony could be the if not the second the third cell phone company but because of their stupidity they are the last on the biggest cell phone market which is USA
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] FartyParty:
I'm so excited for the 9th. Not from USA though but I'm fairly sure it will go on pre-order the same day here.

Hopefully they throw in some wireless headphones like with the X2.

...and....it's gone again. Bundle gone, phone only. (For the moment.)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium Questions & Answers] christis:
Yes, I know about google my friend and Amazon search. In fact I had checked before posting. Unless I was missing something, a new XZ2 is nowhere near the 500 you mention in your previous post, at least in Amazon. In fact, it STILL starts from 800 (The XZ2 Compact is a different phone btw). Similar results in swappa (although slightly less, naturally, but swappa is not an option for many) for a brand new piece, except one single ad referring to a resale.

You hard feelings are perfectly understandable, but you don't have to exaggerate.

Back to the subject: I was tempted on getting the XZ2 Premium, but it's slightly big for my taste. I think I might wait another couple of months to see how soon the XZ3 will arrive and what exactly it will have on offer.
