[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Cris12821:
This may have been asked before. But I am having extreme issues trying to find the proper answer that doesn't confuse me.

I have a P20 Pro CLT-04, unlocked boot loader, TWRP, and LineageOS.

I made a silly mistake and not backing up the stock rom before getting LineageOS.

Where can I find the stock rom and firmware for Canada

as I am realizing that LineageOS might not like the 3 cameras the P20 Pro has (even with the OEM camera app flashed onto phone) (I also noticed it may have reduced my screen quality) and I want to test out my theory

Hopefully there is some help. I am quite confused and concerned on this one.

Thanks

Can you run Huawei firmware finder from Play store?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] AndroidFann:
I thought about doing this, but all I could think of is "What happens to the camera?" Thanks for testing that out for us Canadian users! I used https://xdaforums.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146 (Huawei Firmware Finder (Team MT)) to flash to .109 so you should be able to find the firmware there.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Cris12821:
Haha. Talk about being a guinea pig. The camera works, however you need to flash the OEM camera. But I feel like LineageOS isn't developed enough to provide the same quality as the P20 Pro provides. So some seems a bit lost.

Anyway. I did find that app. Huawei is just super different and there's a lot of files and what not to download and only being able to flash it using TWRP or the Huawei desktop app might be an issue unless this app makes it work for TWRP.

I'm not sure which files to download and flash to get back to the stock rom (keeping root is MUST)

Can anyone provide a guide for that, as bricking my brand new phone is not something I like trying to fix.

Thanks everyone.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] AndroidFann:
I used HuRUpdater with the forums help to flash .109 with TWRP. Just remember to remove security to avoid decryption and flash with the exact instructions. Yes, it's odd. I'm coming from a One Plus 3. Any questions let me know but that app will do it all. You flash that zip with the firmware files in the folder and you're laughing.

One question to anyone who has a completely stock P20 pro from Telcel. Could you let me know if your cell passes the safetynet test? I have mine which comes unlock from telcel but from the start, my banamex application was telling me that my system has been modified so I couldn't use the digital netkey so this week I performed the safetynet test and it failed just like if my phone has been somehow tempered, rooted or something. So I am not sure if it is something with the stock firmware or not. I will appreciate your help.

CLT-L29 Compatibility with Telcel/AT&T

Hello everyone,

1) Anyone knows if the CLT-L29 is compatible out of the box with Mexican Telcel/AT&T?

Or do you need to rebrand/adjust?

2) Now that Huawei has stoped giving bootloader unlock codes, can you still unlock this phone?

3) What does the factory guarantee covers? I mean, it does not cover frimware manipulation, broken screens, lense or frame. So what am I losing here?

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Sokcock:
I bought a CLT-L04 from Telcel México. I am using it in USA with a T-Mobile SIM card. My main problem is that sometimes I don't get phone calls, several people told me that when they called my my my phone was turned off. I always keep my phone on, also sometimes texts are delayed. Some other days the phone works fine. I have good signal reception on my house.

Also this version doesn't come with WI-FI calling.

I contacted Huawei and they could not give me an answer.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Also my phone doesn't come with a stock Huawei app or widget... Really weird.

I did a factory reset and nothing changed.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] MrPaan:
1. L29 is compatible. I had a P20 pro (purchased from Telcel) with unlocked bootloader and rebranded to L29 (the same as the guide) , and I use it with AT&T.

2) There are no way to unlock the bootloader. Maybe there will be in the future, but right now, no.

3) I used the warranty of the P20 Pro described in point #1 and they change my device. I'm not happy with Huawei because they started to not giving the bootloader codes, but my experience with warranty was very very good.

I suggest you to look for the survey to ask for a bootloader for Honor devices (Huawei sub-company). I know it is for Honor phones but you can get your voice listened.

The screenshot in this reply, is what I told them. Also, I got the GPU Turbo update today.

Ok

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] horsemenofbug:
Been using S6 for a while an I'm thinking buying the S9 plus exynos version.

I haven't bought a phone with my own cash and I'm considering of buying the S9 plus now. But I keep reading that the exynos version has some issues with battery life and I have combed the forum with no proper result. Since I already love my s6 i really want to buy the s9 plus but I have this nagging feeling about the battery life. Please someone enlighten me or help me with this

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] mrnovanova:
Well you should get the Exynos variant if you want to root your phone. If you root your phones you'll have ways to tweak your device making the battery issue a non issue. Bottom line no root=SD, root=Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] sensationvsgalaxy:
i think you already know: exynos is cpu faster.. snapdragon gpu faster (even the gpu in my zuk z2 : adreno 530 from snapdragon 820 is faster than the s9+ gpu..) but it doesnt matter in everyday use.. both versions are more than powerful enough for everything in the playstore .. I still have my s6 and s7 and s8 and can tell you the biggest benefits you get from s6 to s9 are more AND faster RAM (ram bandwith has also gotten better) and faster UFS 2.1 Storage.. i wouldnt say battery is worse than s6.. s7edge is the best with battery, s8 also pretty good, s9 is definetly not better than s8 but depends on what rom \kernel... the Elemental Kernel gives OC with which I did beat even the iphone x ( 4000 in singlecore and well over 10000 in multicore geekbench).. BUT it drains battery like at least 1% a minute when browsing \ playing.

Honestly i like the s6edge+ camera BETTER THAN THE S7 ! (in daylight) because of more detail (mp count) in s6.. of course s7 is better in low light. s8 improved on s7 and s9 improved on s8... and now my s9+ WITH ZERO CAMERA MOD (improved quality and bitrates) beats the pixel 2 xl, the sony xz2 and the huawei p20 pro in a straight (full auto) fight. (I tested in a couple of stores with the handsets on display there..same photo in the same direction, same conditions all auto settings).

About Design:For me personally the s6 (at least my s6edge+) is the most beautiful, has more character.. idk how to explain. also s8 and s9 are very slippery in the hand and you will ALWAYS pick it up the wrong side up\around ... cus when screen off it looks and feels(when out of pocket) EXACTLY the same. SO, USE A CASE!! :good:

Its been 2 and half month for me with the galaxy s9 plus exynos dual sim model. Ive had every galaxy smartphone in the past(excluding the notes) and batterylife of this s9 plus is not great for me. I am simply waiting for the note 9.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] JT-on:
Note 9 has been benchmarked with the same SOCs (945 and 9810). You may have to wait till next year then, no?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] cpufrost:
Seems fine to me!

I have no problems (256GB dual sim model). Running Soldier Stock 3.5 rooted with Magisk. I think the battery life is pretty good particularly standby.

Perhaps, because the phone is so good that we're just using it so much that it seems like the battery is going down faster.

I dunno. Even so, with fast wireless charging and decent power banks, etc. it's not that much of an inconvenience if you do rip through it. At least for me it isn't.

Possibly the contender for the worst battery life ever was the S2 Skyrocket. That phone needed a removable battery! Like prowling the streets with a big block V8 with double pumper carbs, you can see your gauge dropping!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
Though Note9 will be equipped with same SoCs , its expected to be tuned better as especially the Exynos 9810 is more powerful than whats achieved in the GS9 and GS9+. In addition, its rumored to have a bigger battery.

Its also rumored to be unveiled in July end or August beginning even though its been delayed by 2 weeks based on rumors and then to be released soon after , so its just two & half months more from now.

Hehe, exactly! Like Galaxo60 once said, there've been over 8 million units sold, and counting every single post (including YouTube) on the internet (even counting them twice over hehe) probably would barely make 100. Again, you have to remember that the vast majority of people who are happy with eg. battery life (eg. getting 6-8 hours SOT with the exynos) don't actually post anything. In saying that, the fact many people on these forums alone (and on Android Central) do post their satisfaction reflects that battery life is actually very good. Sure, if you're expecting to get 10 hours SOT with heavy gaming, then you should certainly look for something else.

I do hope Samsung is spending engineering time tuning the 9810 for the the note 9 release. I assume the underlying hardware will still be the same, so the patches can be applied to the S9/S9+ as well.

Yeah, I have high hopes with the Note 9 but then lets see.

..About that "patch applying" :) honestly , manufacturers "generally" don't do so for one simple reason : to hype up the "next big thing" than the current one(even though hardware is capable) for the sake of sales. Else who would buy the "next big thing"!!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] varcor:
A couple of things to consider in regards to your post. First being the Galaxy S9 isn't a giant leap forward over the Galaxy S8. Yes it improved in some areas, processor, camera, speakers and external memory capacity. Throw in pricing for top drawer models it makes perfect sense sales lag behind the Galaxy S8. Compare that to the iPhone X which is a completely redesigned device in Apple's line up but iPhone X isn't meeting sales projections either. I would submit Apple's sales figures are a bigger mystery than Samsung's.

Hello Sir, thank you for informing me about this (apparently) great mod! May I kindly ask you whether you could compare the pictures (and their sizes) with and without the mod (= with new 98 and default 96 jpeg quality)?

I don't have the phone yet (just considering it) and this would add to the "plus side".

Can anyone give me any tips in preparing for this eventuality? I don't even know whether I should sync from the PC side or the Mac Side preferably. I guess if Syncing on the Mac side,,there might be a preferable program? Or is it all better handled better on the PC side. And syncing from the PC side not be as good as syncing from a pure PC system. Any comments, good or bad would be great. Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] XtreMe_G:
for syncing with mac there's missing sync but i would just get an exchange account, then you can sync data with the exchange over wifi/3g.

for the pc side i would stick with xp.....easier and less problematic for flashing compare to vista, although ppl have done it successfully with vista, and ppl have also been unsuccessful with xp. but if you dont want to even bother with windows, you can just flash through your microsd card

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger2txting:
Hello,

I'm a long time browser of this forum and have had a lot of luck with ROMs in the past, however, in the spring I bricked my N8013 like something horrible. Long story short, I zeroed the internal SD card and had to rebuild the partition table from scratch as I couldn't find a working PIT at the time. FUN!

Anyway, once it was fixed I was able to get Lineage 14.1-20170305-unofficial-n8013 installed and working....mostly What a relief! MTP didn't work, but WiFi did. One thing I noticed right away was that the Boot Logo, when you first turned the tablet on seems to be referencing some trash space on the internal SD card as there is no logo, only noise or maybe a previous screen (i.e. if I go into download mode and reboot, then the download mode screen is now my boot logo). After the initial POST, the lineage boot screen shows fine, but that's some 10s later.

Regardless, the N8013 hardware does not run lineage very smoothly and Lineage is not optimized for the N8013 - aka **** battery life.

So, I decided to give Android HD Revolution 21 a shot. I used Odin and flashed "High On Android" recovery and installed Android HD Revolution 21 from my external SD card. Easy! Still doesn't resolve the boot image issue, but whatever.

Boot up and I discover that not only does MTP still not work, but neither does WiFi! Bluetooth works for some reason though. So, I took to the forums and tried to resolve the issue.

I tried flashing both sets of stock kernels from here and repeating the install process. Nothing. Additionally, I noticed in the Android Settings inside Android HD Rev. that it shows N8000, however, my tablet is the WiFi only model (N8013EA as stated on the back of the device).

So, TL;DR

-Welcome suggestions on how to resolve MTP and WiFi issues. Currently working in Android HD Revolution but I don't think it's limited to that ROM

-Welcome thoughts on how to fix the Boot Logo issue. I feel like this should be a simple fix, I just don't know where files like this would/should be stored since it exists somewhere in the partition table and now in the ROM.

[Planet Gemini PDA Themes, Apps, and Mods] Richard Hallas:
I think this is a bug – but it may be a stupid question on my part. Apologies if so. I'm primarily an iOS user on mobile, and the Gemini (which I'm loving so far…) is my first serious experience of Android.

OK, so I was playing with customisation options for my home screen, and although I actually really like the default dark blue starfield background that comes preset on the machine, I decided to swap it for an 'early morning sky' photo that I typically use on all my mobile devices. (It's a photo I took myself years ago, and works really well as a backdrop.)

After touching 'Set wallpaper', I elected to set my new background for both home screen AND lock screen. Fine; that worked OK and looks good. But I subsequently changed my mind and wished I'd stuck with the standard starfield for the lock screen. So I went back to the wallpaper options to change the lock screen only.

At this point I discovered the problem/bug. The thumbnail of the starfield picture is still there to be selected, and if I touch it, it covers the screen like it did before, so everything appears OK. However, when I click on 'Set wallpaper' and choose the option, regardless of what I choose (home screen, lock screen or both), there's a pause and then the starfield vanishes, leaving me with a completely black background. I can set the background image to any new photo that I supply myself without problems, but any attempt to reapply the original starfield graphic fails, which is rather a shame.

Can anyone tell me where I can locate the starfield graphic on the system? I've tried browsing the file system (with hidden files visible) but haven't found it. Or can anyone perhaps supply the file so that I can copy it back to the device if perhaps it only now exists in a cache or some such problem? I'd really like to get the image back.

Thank for any help.
