[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mawoods75:
I do a "U12" search on Google every couple of days, keeping my eyes out for new reviews that pop up. Saw three new ones this morning, all from the last couple of days...

Wired.com

https://www.wired.com/review/review-htc-u12-plus/

BGR.com

https://bgr.com/2018/07/02/htc-u12-teardown-drop-test/

The Sun

https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/6352121/htc-u12-plus-review-specs-latest/

All three harp on the usual... battery and buttons. Without a huge jump in battery technology (or size), I just don't see more than a day of moderate use being in the cards, regardless of phone/manufacturer. That's just the nature of the devices and how they are used, in my opinion. I do know some people that regularly get more than one day on a single charge, and those are folks who are light users (check messages a few times a day, maybe a phone call or two, a quick lookup on the internet in a pinch)... the people I know that actually use their devices through the day (social media, camera, games, email and messaging frequently) charge up every day, myself and my family included. If I know I'm going to be away from a charger and will need my phone, I plan for it - that's what airplane mode, battery saver, and even the OFF button are for.

But, holy crap, these buttons... what is with all the "tech reviewers" harping so badly on these buttons?! It's like they have been directed to bad-mouth HTC. Pressure-sensitive power/volume buttons is new, it's novel, hasn't been done before. Any technology like that needs some time to fall into place... was HTC a little premature in its implementation? - maybe. But it may have been part of their last-ditch effort to keep the company afloat and deliver a device that is unique and gets consumers interested again. I get the feeling that the other big name brands would have been absolutely lauded with praise and admiration for trying the same thing, even if the same "issues" were present on those devices on the first go-around. It will also be interesting to see when other manufacturers adopt similar technology. In theory, it is not a bad idea. In practice, it will get worked out.

OK, review rant over... just waiting for the phone to be in stock again on Amazon.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Tachi91:
Most reviewers dont actually immerse themselves in the product. They simply carry it around with them in addition to either their main smartphone or in addition to several other phones theyre also reviewing.

They favor quantity over quality. They rather push out several reviews at once then an actual real world true review.

They bounce back and forth the u12 and whatever else they have. So immediately off the bat they figure that the u12 won't get them as many hits on YouTube or their website so they focus more on the Huawei, OnePlus, Oppo that they have.

So of course the reviews are negative when they have little interest in the phone from the get go.

The buttons for me respond when they should every single time. The battery last just as long as my iPhone X did on both iOS 12 and 11. Even better on some days.

You can tell when a review actually cared enough to give the phone a chance. A lot of reviewers I watched over the years that I respected have left a bad taste recently.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mawoods75:
I agree completely - the best reviews I've seen are some of the video reviews on youtube from folks who spend 10 or 20 minutes reviewing and

demonstrating

the phone that they have been using for weeks. Not just a 5min "unboxing" and quick check of the phone and features.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] leony74:
No issues with the u12+ here with the buttons at all. 128gb translucent blue unlocked.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Allesa:
I'm about to shoot the review on u12 for my youtube channel.

Not much complaints on the buttons, except the double tap sides function. It randomly triggers every now and then.

My concern is more about battery...

during my regular daily use, 5 hrs sot is the norm here, which is dissapointing for 3500mah battery. It is about the same milage as lg g7 with 3000mah in my testing.

Camera, screen quality, smoothness, all awesome. Maybe sunlight readability couldve been better.

However, before I even start to shoot, i'm kinda waiting for the new firmware to be pushed to my device. Mine is US unlocked. Does anyone who is on different CID can confirm if those issues got ironed out in the latest firmware (june sec patch)?

Thanks
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] LibertyMonger:
There is no HTC software bloat. And the few unnecessary apps it does have can be disabled.

If your buttons do not work normally or if you're having reboot issues or ghost presses, chances are you got a bad device. Mine works as it should there is no drama to it.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ikolbyi:
Thank you for the feedback. I ended up going with an unlocked LG v30s ThinQ with mixed opinions for a single reason: Cost. B+H Photo was selling it $150 cheaper.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Switch Blade:
Has anyone had success connecting their Gear S3 with DP3 on a Pixel 2 XL? For me the Samsung Gear App crashes after pairing.

Help?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] naiku:
Mine seems to be working perfectly so far (not tried taking any calls via the watch yet though), on Monday I was all set to return the 2XL as it kept dropping my watch constantly. Tuesday it did not drop at all on DP2, I installed DP3 yesterday it has also not dropped once. I took the OTA update, so did not need to re-pair with the phone though, wish I knew if it was going to be reliably connected long term. Mine does not seem to have any pattern as to when the phone drops the connection to the watch.

Of course, I have an RMA now to return the phone for a full refund so am now torn as to whether to return it or not.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TheFinalHawk:
I came from android nougat on my galaxy s8+, however, I wanted to update to oreo, so I flashed it through odin with all the necessary firmware files. I configured it all once after. However, OEM Unlock is missing from the developer options. I've read that you have to wait 7 days for it to appear but I don't have the time to wait as I have some projects to deal with. I'm wondering if I can dirty flash an old rom over stock rom to enable oem unlock through odin since I can't flash through twrp . Once I get the regular rom loaded, I'm going to flash twrp and find a custom rom based off oreo instead. Would be great if someone knows any work around for this.

I am planning on travelling through different time zones this summer. I thought my phone had a "use network time" box under settings but it does not.

is there a registry setting for that or a simple application to correct the clock and to do so without screwing up my PIM appointments?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] p-de-geus:
there is an registry key that enables a Tab in the Phone settings called "Time Zones".

on my Rom(Slim edition 6.1) it is the key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting]

"ShowNITZPage"=dword:00000001.

it can also be "ShowTimeZonePage" instedd of "ShowNITZPage".

if you that go to the tab and check this setting it changes you clock automaticly when youre in an other timezone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jnc8651:
i have the timezones tab but not the option to use network time...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I am most definetly no expert here, but on my Treo 700WX, I do remember the option for enabling network time, but it was in the original startup when you first turn on the device, or after a hard-reset. I would think as long as you remember it being enabled, then you should be OK.

Or you could just use an app that allows more than one clock on your Today screen, like SPB Time (if you don't want to purchase, just use the trial period on your trip)!!!

Hope that helps some!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tft:
start > settings > phone

select time synchronization then get settings, then select "time synchronize with mobile network"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] trjons:
I am using an Atom which apparently has a bug that it loses its time setting when you swap batteries and do not have any of those registry settings. hoped there was an application or reg hack for me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ddavtian:
I have this selected but still have to manually select a time zone. Few times I traveled from Pacific US to Eastern US, phone (HTC Touch, on Sprint) did not change the time until I picked the correct zone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jnc8651:
i only have "automatic change time zone and clock" option no time synchronize with mobile network

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] del4:
I tried adding this using both names and in both cases, I did not see a new tab called 'Time Zones' after doing a soft reset... Trying this on a Sprint Mogul with stock ROM...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] papadi:
Hi guys,

are we talking about Windows Mobile 5 or 6 here? I also tried both names and did soft reset but page is not shown.

My phone is LG KS20 (Windows Mobile 6).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jadel:
Wow, I just tested changing the key on my phone (02 XDA II - CShekhar 6.1) and it worked perfectly, even after a soft reset. Wish I knew about this years ago. A++++ would read again.

Dear developers,

I bought a few ago a “Archos core 101 3g”. After a few time the software became slow and unable to use. Stuck for a while. I had to restart the tablet and it works for few moments. After these moments I had the same problem and I also had some issues with the stock Android 7.0 Nougat. Most of the time I got a message: “App has stopped working”.

I like to put a custom rom on it. It seems there are no roms available on the forum. Is it possible to use a different rom for this tablet or Is it easy to build it by myself?

Any advice is welcome!

Yours sincerely,

Lukas D.

I bricked my Huawei Mate 10 too :(

Please help.. I also bricked my Huawei Mate 10 ALP-L29C636...

I installed the EMUI 9.0 on my device using the HWOTA8_Mate10 method which was successful. The EMUI 9.0 ROM was from FirmwareFinder: ROM version ALP-L29C636E2R1P8B108-log (9.0.0.108). I didn't have any issues at all but since Huawei Mate 10's EMUI 9.0 is still in Beta, I decided to switch back to the stable EMUI 8.0.

Here's where the problem started... Since I want to downgrade, I went ahead and downloaded the 3 needed files (update.zip, update_all_hw, update_data_public) from FirmwareFinder: ROM version ALP-L29C636B143 (8.0.0.143). I fired up HWOTA8_Mate10 and started the installation process. The first step was to boot to fast boot and then plug the device, after that, the software asked me to unplug the device and press volume+ and power button but the device won't boot to recovery anymore. The device is now stuck at "Your device is booting now..." I tried rebooting the device but it won't work. Tried to go to eRevovery to wipe cache/factory reset but it will go back to "Your device is booting now..." page. I tried reinstalling the recovery.img via fastboot and tried to boot to recovery mode again but it won't work anymore. I believe my device is now soft bricked :( . I can still boot to fastboot, I even tried fastboot flash system system.img which was successful but the device still won't boot. Please help how to recover my device. I think I went too far and now I don't know how to fix this issue.

As i know you cannot downgrade from pie to oreo try to flash back the pie files as u did before with HWOTA8 and see if the devise boot
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
Flash back stock pie kernel. Hwota flashes recovery and kernel (and ramdisk which fails because there is no ramdisk partition in pie). If kernel doesn't work because its corrupt or wrong (pie kernel is 4.9 while Oreo use 4.4) your device can't boot recovery or boot to system.

You can downgrade using TWRP but you'd have to do it manually.

system = fastboot flash system system.img

recovery = fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img

Obviously, replace image name with the ones you are using.
