[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
The Xiaomi Mi Max 3 has officially launched.

https://youtu.be/92g4LCLoRoo

https://youtu.be/gIf1Z-YzhSY

It looks like the MiMax 3 battery and screen are both bigger than what the Huawei Note 10 will have along with a much lower price so I am trying to figure if there are any advantages to getting the Huawei Note 10 when it comes out later this month.

CORRECTION: The Huawei Note 10 battery is slated to carry a 6000 Li-Po battery which is 500mAh bigger than the Mi Max 3.

Here is a screen comparison.

SCREEN COMPARISON:

Huawei X2: 7" @ 5.9x3.7 (16:10)

Huawei Note 10: 6.9" @ 6.3x2.9 (19.5:9)

Xiaomi Mi Max 3: 6.9" @ 6.2x3.1 (18:9)

If it were me and both had LTE support where I live I'd probably go with the Mi Max 3. The original Mi Max was the best phone I've ever owned. It was inexpensive and fast and had plenty of custom roms. Good luck unlocking the bootloader and rooting with the Huawei Note 10. Even going back to the stock rom with a Huawei device is a chore. The Mediapad X2 has a 16:10 aspect ratio. The snapdragon 6 series is faster than you think.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
Hi AJ you are correct in that the X2's aspect ratio is 16:10 and not 16:9, and I have corrected the numbers in the above posts.

This is all the more reason I am disappointed with the newer-style stupid aspect ratios because the X2's current width is 3.7" and the newer devices reduce that considerably the thr more narrower the aspect ratio gets. I like my X2's screen size and wish they just released a newer BEZELLESS model!

[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
Interesting, newer reports as of today are listing the Huawei Honor Note 10 as having a screen aspect ratio of 18.5:9, 6.95" @ 6.2x3.0, and now saying the battery will only be 4900mAh and not 6000mAh.

Looks like information is changing by the day so we'll just have to see when it officially launches on Jul 31st instead of speculating...

U.S LTE bands at least for the MI max 3 are 4 and 5. Band 2 1900 Mhz was important but sadly not available.

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

Initially it was to be a 1440p or a 2560x1440 quad HD screen i.e 16/9 for the Note 10...disappointed if it turns out to be 18/9 or worse

Yes 6.9 diagonal on 18/9 has actual screen width the SAME as an old 2013 Samsung Mega 6.3 1280x720...so essentially a Mega display but longer. I have a Mega and have been thinking that the max would look very weird and be bad for page viewing reading

[Huawei MediaPad X2] mac231us:
great info! thanks!

also..the mi max3 screen is narrower than the mi max 2 as well...imagine that for 6.9 display...all in the ratios.

yes seems so far the honor note 10 will be an even worse 18.5/9 ratio

odd how initially it was to be a 1440p then qhd+ (both 16/9) now fhd+ (18.5/9)

Hello everyone, everyone is well? So I bought a Mi Max 3 and I'm waiting to arrive. I want to thank all those who helped me when I had problems with my X2 and also thank for everything I learned with you during these almost 3 years. I want to thank Aj especially for having done everything he did (ROMS, many tips and more), giving X2 a survival. Thank you all.

I ended up ordering it as well-getting it on Thursday in less than 2 days

got the X2 too...must say the X2 with 6.0 Android (32GB) is so smooth-not sure what folks see in these new devices but the x2 is simply outstanding and has awesome battery life all with 2015 technology! ui is smooth no jitters nothing am not a gamer and don't watch movies etc on phones so cannot comment on that but having used over 25-30 different models in the past few years (even Windows Phone Nokia 1520 and BB Passport, and various Android models Samsung, Oppo, Huawei etc the X2 is simply too good! keeping it!

edit had the x2 when it first came out in 2015 (703, 16gb) impressed me then but the s/w was not as polished as now but recall it had a great camera and battery life back then too....happy I got one again and this time the 702 with 32gb (used but practically new)

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

honor note 10 18.5/9 is just nonsense....max 3 much better but the x2 is the best (will see what the max 3 holds but knowing it has the same screen width as a Samsung galaxy mega 6.3 width, know pretty much what it will look and operate like from a page viewing standpoint...in that sense the 16/9 6.8 asus zu680kl, the p8 max were best but both lack requisite netw bands (former dropped calls and was not good at transitioning between bands in my area) and no development whatsever...

Although it does not like the 18: 9 aspect (still more 18.5: 9), it seems to be an excellent device. The difficult thing is to unlock the bootloader, since Huawei no longer supports unlocking, making it even more difficult than X2.

---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

I really like X2. It's the best I've had so far, except for EMUI, which for me, prevents the device from being better.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
AJ, some people in the following thread are saying that they have successfully managed to unlock Huawei bootloaders without getting the unlock code from Huawei. Do you think this could work for newer devices like the Note 10?

Yeah it always worked for the X2, Mate 8, Mate 9 etc but will they update it to support the Note 10. If so then if they release an international version I'd consider buying one.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
The only thing that I am very hesitant about on any of these new devices is the smaller screen compared to the X2. I am very much undecided on whether I will be getting one because I really enjoy the 3.7" screen width on my X2 and not sure if I will hate the experience of 3" screen width the a Note 10!

Sorry if I sound like a broken record

I actually prefer 16:9 like I had on my Xiaomi Mi Max but this 18:5:9 and 18:9 aspect ratio stinks. We need a 7 inch or larger phone just to make it wide enough so it's easy to type on.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shaolin95:
Me too man. I hate this stupid trend of hotdog shaped phones. Its frustrating because when my xperia z3 tablet compact dies I don't see what else I can get that has LTE I'm the USA , at least 7" and non stupid aspect ratio :(
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Handa.:
I hate display 18:9. see video on youtube crop... BUT, in honor note 10. i feel screen is enough wide. i love this one....
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mac231us:
Mi Max 3 display width = 2013 Samsung 6.3 Mega

Note 10 display narrower than mi max 3

Honor 8x max display width = Mi Max 3

6.44 or 6.8 or 6.6 inch 16/9 are best imo

Hi guys. So I have Mi Max 3 on hand and I can say that it is a good smartphone. It has good sound, the cameras are reasonable (in low light, leaves to be desired), the overall performance is good ... you can get used to it. The only thing that's being really hard to handle is that 18: 9 aspect. It's horrible and it loses a lot of content from apps and web pages.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
The original Mi Max was still the best Mi Max. It had a 16:9 aspect ratio and wasn't so skinny. You should try and find one of those.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] :
I have them both and even the Honor 8X Max i have.

No doubt is Note 10 is my no. 1 favorite in all aspect.

Then my no. 2 is Mi Max 3, but cause all the problems i have with a fake rom is no. 3, because i can't use it for talking. But mm3 it self is a really nice phone, feel good in my hand to.

But could i get a updated asus zenfone 3 ultra ( my old phone), i would take that, because of the 16:9 fformat, hate the new 18:9, dont do good fir anything in my world... AT ALL!

Note 10 have the most fantastic sound i ever had in a smartphone, its fast as hell, takes good pictures, the signal works 100% here in Denmmark (Europe), even it's a Chinese version, only some Chinese stuff in the app HiCare, and around 5-7 pcs bloatware (not really a problem).

So for me Honor Note 10 works like a smartphone with a original international rom, really every $ worth, really a fantastic phone, no doubt.

Honor 8X Max is ok for the price, but not more then that. It does the things and no more.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:

[Huawei MediaPad X2] ben63vw:
I've been looking at this one as well... just really dislike how all the phone companies are shoving this 19:9 form factor down our throats and I know I'm not the only one. Please give your thoughts once you get it and have been using it a bit.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I hear you. I'd rather have 16:9 but 19.9 at 7.2 inches should be big enough. It's bigger than almost every other smartphone on the market.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
Hey AJ,

Everything about this phone is A OK except the screen width at 3.1" same as the MiMax. Our beloved X2 is 3.7" screen width.

Personally im waiting for manufacturers to stop with this annoying aspect ratio and then I'm going to upgrade.

Best of luck with your new device, I'm sure you'll enjoy it a lot!

[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I don't think screen ratios will ever be 16:10 on a smartphone again. Maybe on tablets but never on phones. I'm just happy to have a larger screen than the smaller ones in most phones today.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
Hi AJ, I really hope you will be incorrect! I really want a comparable screen size to the X2's.

At 19:9 aspect ratio, you would need an approximate diagonal 8.5" screen to have a 3.7" screen width like our X2, but that would mean a length of 7.7" - the true definition of a "hot dog" device lol.

Who knows what's on the horizon!

Regardless, I'm sure your new beast will serve you very well so I wish u good times with it.

Thanks. I agree with you though. These candy bar shaped phones are a little too skinny. I used to love putting the phone in landscape and browsing websites but that isn't too good on these skinny phones. I'm also selling my OnePlus 6 if anyone is interested before I put it on Swappa.

When apply for unlock bootloader today ,it did not require to give why I want to unlock like details then directly went to download unlock tool app. Previously my other Xiaomi devices need why I'd to unlock bootloader like questions and after that waiting for 15 min to 3- 7 days to go to that download page. Is Xiaomi give permission to unlock quite easily ?

But I tried that tool , after few try told me to wait for 357 hrs.

Actually there is a way to skip the 360 hours of waiting... with the MIUI unlock software 2.2 and 2 separate accounts with the permission to unlock your phone.

In case you have question, read through the article, I've posted there even a download link of the software I did it. Double check your anit rollback version though via "fastboot getvar anti".

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnnyGui:
Hello,

I have some difficulty understanding the tutorials on how to simply install a custom Android Oreo ROM along with GApps. I noticed there are some differences between them which confuses me.

I have a non-rooted Samsung S4 i9505 with the stock Samsung Touchwiz. I don't have any SD card and I want to install the custom ROM without a PC.. Here are my questions:

1. Tutorials say that I have to root my device before installing a custom ROM while people in threads say that it is not needed. Do I have to root the device or not?

2. Is the next step to unlock bootloader?

3. Do I then have to install TWRP? Or is it not necessary and do I simply have to put the ROM's and GApp's .zip files in the internal memory of my phone and boot into recovery mode?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbaBand:
1- Does your phone have a locked or unlocked bootloader?

2- You don't need root to install a custom rom.

3- You need to install a custom recovery like "TWRP" or "PhilzTouch".

4- External storage like SD Card or OTG USB is recommended but not must.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
None of the Samsung s4 phones have a locked bootloader except the s4 sold by USA carriers.

I do not recommend using Philz to flash a custom ROM as Philz is based on CWM and CWM has not been updated for years.

Does the USB port work on the phone? Is it recognized by a PC when connected?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnnyGui:
Thanks for the reply. How do I check if the bootloader is unlocked? And how to install TWRP?

It is recognised by the PC yes. I have to make sure the bootloader is unlocked but I don't know how.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
If you have a GT-i9505, the bootloader is not locked. Using software to unlock the bootloader will probably hard brick the phone. Google XDA and you will find further answers to your question.

Regardless of whether the bootloader is or is not locked, there is always a risk that flashing software to the phone can cause it to brick.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbaBand:
Yes PhilzTouch is outdated but i'm still using it on 7.x without any problems.

1- What's your phone model?

2- Can you insert any sim card without any problem? If yes it means it's unlocked.

3- Download TWRP for your device model.

4- Download Odin.

5- Go to download mode on your phone.

6- Connect phone to pc .

7- Open Odin and select PDA.

8- Locate and select the "TWRP" file.

9- Select Start.

10- Wait phone to reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
It's good that you are able to use CWM/Philz. I used it on my s2 and s3 for a while. When I moved to the s4, I switched to TWRP since many ROM developers recommend using TWRP to flash. I then moved to the s6 for a little and then the s7.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnnyGui:
Thanks a lot for the tutorial. After that, should I put the Custom ROM and the Gapps in the internal memory (any folder?) and then put the phone into recovery mode? Or does the TWRP already bring you to the installation after the reboot (your step 10)?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbaBand:
Yes, put them in any folder you prefer. The phone will only reboot to the os, even if it reboots to the recovery i recommend going into recovery manually. After that clear data/data & cache & system, then install the zips and reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnnyGui:
So these are basically all the mentioned steps?

1. Make sure the phone is recognised by the PC via USB

2. Download TWRP for your device model.

3. Download Odin.

4. Go to download mode on your phone.

5. Connect phone to pc .

6. Open Odin and select PDA.

7. Locate and select the "TWRP" file.

8. Select Start.

9. Wait phone to reboot.

10. Put the Custom ROM and GApps in any folder of the internal

memory that you prefer

11. Manually reboot into recovery mode (hold ON/OFF, Home and Volume Down button all at once)

12. Clear data/data & cache system

13. Install the Custom ROM and then GApps.

Are these steps alltogether correct?

(Another question, is it not possible to flash with a Custom ROM and Gapps without using a PC at all?)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbaBand:
Download Mode: Hold power button + Home + Volume down

Recovery: Hold power button + Home + Volume up (Hold until s4 logo appear and let go)

Clear data/data & cache & system

Yes you can download and install them directly into phone, The only thing that needs a pc is installing the recovery.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] askermk2000:
I know nothing about ota updates, especially not in the case of usa models.

It will brick because tmo ordered an extensive security package from LG. Their phones can not be flashed with any other bootloaders from other models, neither can other models flash tmo bootloader.

If you do you'll have a hard-brick. Nothing can be done, it's out of our hands, only LG/TMO could fix it.
