[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] NaXal:
AiCP + nameless R17 user here. PubG runs really cool and lag free with medium settings but it's a battery hogger for sure. No OC, all default, no root or any mods.

40%+ per hour while using Mobile Data (AirTel 4G or Jio 4G).

35%+ per hour while 2.4GHz WiFi.

Need to charge often if playing more than couple of games back to back.

Good thing though, 20-80% charge range is done really quickly if using any high AMP (2 or 2.4AMPs) charger !!
[Galaxy View General] aeneas1:
adb wm density and size works like a charm on my other android devices, i.e. i can change the values with ease, but when it comes to the galaxy view anything other than the stock 1920x1080 and 160 (dpi) seems to throw the tablet for a loop, it causes the "unfortunately the ui system has stopped working" error to pop up, which remains until the values are returned to stock.

is there any way around this? i thought it might be the launcher i was using (nova) so i tried a few others, including the view's stock launcher, but no love... i also read that you need to clear the some system app caches but that didn't work either... any help would be appreciated!
[Galaxy View General] aeneas1:
well i've discovered that i can use a lower density without any trouble, for example 140 instead of the stock 160, but anything higher than the 160 stock density causes a systemui error... i've tried several different ways to change the density, adb, build.prop, and a couple of apps, and they all do the trick just fine, however the end result is always a systemui error.

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] rom116:
So I have been a long time HTC fan. Have a U11 currently. Owned most HTC phones prior to this one. This phone though has gotten some horrible reviews. Is it so bad that we won't see any custom roms? Are the buttons really that bad?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] QD2DC:
No the buttons aren't as bad as most reviewers claimed. Most assume they have preproduction hardware or software, which is stupid of htc if true. But the buttons are certainly usable. They aren't perfect by any means, and they downright trash.

I'm pretty confident we'll a see familar dev once TWRP and first OTA hit ;)
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] rom116:
That makes me feel a bit better. I remember when HTC released the HTC 10 before the camera software was finalized and the reviews bombed too and they never really recovered from it. They do seem to make one horrid decision after another. Remember the Billion dollar ad campaign with Robert Downey Jr...Unbelievable...
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] QD2DC:
They did what essential did release an awesome phone with bad software, which killed any and all momentum they. All reviews loved the feel and look, but wouldn't recommend due to camera software and price. Here with HTC we see something similar, nice, good looking phone, with questionable buttons due to either bad hardware or software. Killing all momentum and probably sales projections.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] shankly1985:
No real issues here to report they work when pressed all the time for me. I do at times think they a little bit sensitive and hopefully a update can improve them.

It's seems alot of reviewers jumped on the bad bang wagon I do feel for HTC going by how active this xda section is it seems U12+ isnt getting much love.

I don't mod my phones anymore so it's no real loss to me.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] rom116:
Yeah, I remember the G1 days when I was flashing a new ROM every 2 hours...turned into an obsession. I havent flashed a new Rom on the u11 in 6 or 8 months and can't really say that I use any of the features that require root all that often.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Tachi91:
Its combination of price, timing, and initial bad rep.

It was released mid summer with the Pixel 3, Note 9 coming up too soon. Most developers would rather hold up and pick those phones up instead. HTC isn't widely know anymore and the only people who even got this phone were those who waited for it, or it just happen to time up with their upgrade/replacement.

They don't advertise their phones in most countries. So the general public don't know of them anymore or just forgotten about.

Once TWRP becomes available you'll see roms pop up. This current system is limited to just local mods or too much work that would normally be automated by flashing a zip.

Give it some time.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Already work in progress behind the scenes. It is worked on TWRP, different kernels, and definitely more than one ROM. So let's all be patient, cause on treble, without dedicated recovery partition, it has to be figured out how to implement TWRP first.

And as far as I know, thus the basis of treble is always the same, every OEM implements it in another way. So what worked for TWRP on other devices maybe won't work on the U12+. Thus again let's be patient and give it some time. Developers need time to get familiar with new ways and how they work as well.

When I connect the device to the PC it lists in device manager as ZTE Handset Diagnostic Interface(DFU) (COM3) despite having installed all Qualcomm drivers.

I kept getting the device registering in device manager in DFU mode. But I noticed that it briefly registers as QUSB_BULK before reverting to DFU. So I installed zadig winUSB driver and now it registers as QUSB_BULK when I turn on the device pressing all 3 buttons.

How can I proceed now?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Now you can proceed by uninstalling the Zadig driver and attempting a 4th category unbrick. i.e. using my DFU unbrick guide or trying your luck with an edl cable and Oki's guide.

If it were so simple as to get out of DFU by installing a Zadig driver we wouldn't have dfu guides

Thanks a lot for the Guide! I really wanna get rid of the launcher....

Therefore, beginner question: :)

If I run the adb devices command (inside the platform-tools folder) it shows no device in the list.

I enabled USB Debugging on the phone.

Is it necessary to manually install the driver for the phone to make adb work?

I found a driver here (mobileheadlines.net/) but I am not sure if this website is trustworthy.

Thanks for your help.

BTW: I think your link to the make adb run is not working properly. At least i get an 403 error message. Is this the how to you wanted to refer to?
[Oppo Find X Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
THX for the heads-up on the link,it's fixed now. :good:

The drivers should install themselves,but,before you do that,you have to enable Developer Options & once there,you'll need to toggle-on USB Debugging.

This tutorial for Dev Options/USB De-Bugging is for other OPPO devices,but,is applicable here:

https://www.syncios.com/android/how-to-debug-oppo-f1.html

Once you do the above,plug-in to your PC & the drivers will automatically install.

Then pull down on the notification bar,tap on the USB Debugging notification,select Transfer files.

Also,the 1st time you connect/use USB Debugging,you'll see a pop-up window asking for permission,allow it. If you don't see it,disconnect from the PC,re-connect,select File Transfer & keep the phone unlocked,until you see the permission pop-up. I recommend selecting "Always" so,you don't have to bother w/it again.

Check this video out,it covers most of the steps:

Guess am sticking with the v20. I cant live without removable battery. But Im always looking to import.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
You want removable battery because your battery dies during the day or what? And you want to swap it out?

People keep saying the can't live without removable battery but won't ever say why. My wife and I have not have removable battery on our Androids since 2014, so I don't quite understand.

First, with newer phones with high IP ratings -- like V30 IP68 -- you can't have removable battery without a lot of engineering headache. Also designing back exit port (with clear exit/entry/walls) for user battery removal makes the phone bigger than it needs to be.

Second, the V30 battery life is EXCELLENT. Some days I don't even charge my phone until I get home from work, as the V30 system has great built-in battery saving. I do keep Quick Charge chargers in car and at work, just in case. (Why? Because of my previous phone.)

Coming from a 2014 Moto XT1225 with a 3900 mAh battery, I was very worried about battery life on a phone with smaller battery (3300 mAh) and larger OLED display (6" vs 5.2"). I've been pleasantly surprised. Ironically, the older Moto XT1225 with bigger battery would not hold a charge all day long, thus my charger stash in car and at work... And I'm still going to keep those. There's no harm in charging while I'm using Google Waze navigation or topping off at work while I'm typing on my laptop.

Third, no current or future premium phones are going to have removable battery. See point #1. So, unless you are going to keep buying increasingly older refurbished V20 phones, at some point you're going to need to move forward.

I love IP68 protection, myself and the V30 has headset jack and Qi wireless charging -- which are my "lines in the sand" for what I need on a phone.

I wouldn't mind the LG V40 battery being a little larger than LG V30 3300 mA... but I am quite pleased with the battery performance of the LG V30.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] DLS123:
I want removable battery so I can replace it myself when it gives signs of wear. Without taking the whole damn phone apart!

I never take baths with my phone, all phones have enough water resistance so you can walk with them in the rain.

I really don't see the point in having water proofing on modern phones. Not when it comes at the cost of repairability or drop resistance.

FACT: old phones with removable battery were much more resistant on drops even if their parts (cover, battery) flew in all directions on big drops. I dropped old Nokia smartphones from 2nd story with no damage. How does water proofing help your flagship these days? They crack from laughable heights of under a meter.

I'm pretty sure drops on hard surfaces are much more common causes for damage than the lack of water proofing ever was in the past.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
It's not taking baths, it's the drop off the edge of swimming pool. Drop in the toilet. (Ugh). Kid knocking over pitcher of tea at the dinner table, directly onto your phone.

V30 has mil spec ratings for dropping. See the forum description on the PC website version. Phone will keep functioning. I do keep case on for glass back as it's slippery.

LG V30 in United States has two year warranty.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] DLS123:
Maybe you shouldn't take the phone near the swimming pool. Or buy a phone specifically made for extreme environments if you're really not able to be careful about using electronics near water or keep it away from kids.

I don't care about the specs for dropping and whatever others have tested and written about the phone.

I learned on my own how those specs mean absolutely nothing. I dropped the V30 from 60 cm on wooden floor. The screen cracked, water resistance is gone. These new designs are terribly flawed. Superior materials (plastics) have been replaced by metal and glass. Neither provides any functional advantage. They just make the phone more heavy and slippery. Add to that the craze about screen to body ratio aiming for 100% that does nothing but make the phones even more fragile.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Well, you're never getting removable battery on a new premium phone, no matter how much you complain. ;)

How often do you replace your batteries anyway?

Love the peace of mind of IP68, whether I ever need it or not. I've not had removable battery phone since 2014 and never missed that feature.

i think that everything comes down to money... if you had the money you would change the friggin phones every month, every week... but it's like the fox and the grapes (if you understand what i mean)

as for battery change, how often do you change them? once a year? once two years? you might not even keep a phone that much and speaking about the phone beinng dismantled like that it means that you don't even do the operation of changing the battery :)

ip68 protection is very good. many people kill their phones because of liquid damage. there are many situations you cannot really control, like a sudden rain while you are outside, or dropping the phone into toilet, or having it on the table and someone spill some glass with water on it, etc... ip68 protection is more than welocome, it helps you sleep better at night. i once killed a nexus 5's display because i had it on the floor and at night i wanted to drink some water but because i was sleepy i dropped the bottle on the floor, didn't realize the phone was there until morning when was too late already. you putting the blame on us killing phones because of liquid damage makes you something that i cannot write here... many of us want less stress on our heads about phones. PLEASE do not judge us about something you cannot understand :)

i have had many phones with alot of physical impact damage, broken screens, broken cases, even bent cases. afterall it is a phone which is not made from vibranium, it's glass and plastic but if you refer at nokia 3310 with "old phones with removable battery" sentence then we might have a problem. everything with a full body display BREAKS, i can and i did, not on purpose anyway. nobody wants their phone to be a second baby and keep it all day long in silk... it's a phone, it's an OBJECT. everything in this world breaks with the right amount of force.

this is why i always use full body cases and tempered glass screen protectors, to minimize the repair costs. i am one of the few ppl out there who do not care about how it looks as long as i do not change display once a month.

damn, i abuse them like hell. my 5x even had three full charges a day, fully emptied, overheated till 80 degrees and it still works like a charm, with new battery and thermal pad to cool the processor little bit more. on the other side v30 gives me twice the battery life n5x had but sometimes i eat two v30's betteries in a day, removed thermal throttle completely so the gpu do not go dows when i play games.

changing the bettery is not that hard, you just need some good double adhesive tape and a small cross screwdriver and, of course, a new bettery which costs 10 euros.

don't be such an ignorant *something* and put your hands to work, evolve yourself or, if you do not want to, keep your outdated v20 and, please, do not criticize our awesome v30 :)
