[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] Monty Burns:
As a Wear OS user (Polar M600) i can absolutely CONFIRM what Koliosis is saying and this is not just limited to Samsung Watches.

That said, my watch has been fine now for 2 days and, even after a reboot, the same apps are still auto-run and remain locked. I actually like this solution now BUT, why the FRACK have they restricted it to only 5 apps!?

Anyway, as an example, my locked and running fine apps are:

Wear OS

The Crypto App (so it's widget runs OK - take note, to run a widget, the PARENT app needs to be locked sometimes)

WhatsApp

Gmail

Google Calendar (again, for it's widget)

Now, for me, this is perfectly OK and I have no need to even want to lock other apps (like Facebook) as i'm not interested however, you need to assess YOUR needs which may be more apps.

edit: Oh, oddly, i've got the Sony Experia clock widget installed and that runs perfectly even without being locked and I've no idea why!

Also, I've got the red and it looks stunning. Easily the best looking phone i've ever owned. You'll be happy with the physical design.
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] Funk Wizard:
Same here, will share my inputs once I receive the device :fingers-crossed:
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Looking forward to it....

I'd be open to getting the phone again,provided the version you'll be getting won't be locked-down,as far as Auto-Start/RAM/recents/app permissions go.

If you've perused the threads here,you're aware of the limitations the users have with the Chinese version,I sure hope your experience is leaps & bounds better.............. :good:
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] Monty Burns:
If these restrictions do not exist on a non-Chinese version, I'll be flashing as soon as it is possible and a method is detailed!
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] Funk Wizard:
I am positive for a better experience on the Indian version which is already better in terms of bloat and hopefully we can do a workaround for the other issues. I will keep you posted. Currently it's a long wait as the tentative delivery is 5th August so I'll share my inputs after playing with the machine for a couple of days

Many thanks for your inputs so far and the adb workaround for bloat.
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] prophet558:
Guess I can live with the app restriction. Btw you saw jerryrigeverything's bend test of this device? Failed test doesn't necessarily mean the device is crap (I've had Nexus 6p and Mi 5. Both failed his bend test but they were excellent phones). Gotta take extra care of Find X I suppose.
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] Funk Wizard:
I agree with you :good: We are not going to abuse the X or sit on it when its in the back pocket :laugh:
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] prophet558:
The amount of hate this device gets is ridiculous. btw Flipkart changed the tentative delivery date from 5th to 6th of August.
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] Funk Wizard:
All I remember is the Flipkart marketing head said the pre-orders are going to get delivered a day before the availability in the offline store and 4 being a Sunday the chances of delivery were already slim, so it has to be the 5th, let's hope for the best :highfive:
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] riz157:
I bought this phone purely due to the design, camera pop up and unfortunately wasn't aware of all the restrictions on the Chinese version. Mainly notifications and unable to change default launcher.

Also another thing of noticed the beautiful back picksup marks scratches very very easily, bit like the jet black iPhone 7 plus. I've noticed the marks on the back.

I personally wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone at all if the above is important.

It's muzzled badly and will never fully appreciate the phones potential due to oppo stupid policy. I would however recommend waiting for the global version or await when flashable global ROM is available. Unless you can live with the restrictions.

Fantastic fantastic phone let down severally by restrictions.
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] paatha13:
Jesus Christ what a mess!!!

Really unbelievable experience.

Thankfully after few days with Vivo Nex manage to resolve any issue had with number one notifications alert on time from various app.

Everything else working like a charm now no issues with status bar notifications,no issue with ad block as Adguard and after installation of Nova and get rid off Chinese bloatware via adb and via all app settings phone behaving like a typical western UI

Even with future update Vivo will change the registration formula for global customer so no needed having Chinese number as being told via communication with them(thankfully they are very helpful and friendly with quick response via Facebook messenger)

Bluetooth connection with my ZenWatch 3 working brilliantly as well my Bluetooth headset from Sony,LG and Liberty Zolo+.

Well Oppo should reconsider drastically and dramatically(Vivo too despite manage to resolve all issue had) their software implementation as it is today as people buying smartphones and not dumb-phone with all those dozens stupid restrictions.

What where they thinking when building those awful software

Both Oppo and Vivo should follow OnePlus strategy if want any kind success to western world.

As it is today they don’t have any luck with stupidity restrictions all over UI.

People when buying phones(smartphone not dumb phones)don’t want to deal with hours or days preparation and searching all over UI to find secret tips and deeply settings to make their phones to work as it should out of the box.
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] prophet558:
I was able to change the stock launcher for Ruthless launcher on ColorOS 5.0 (realme 1). But whenever I cleared the recent apps the, Google Now page on the homescreen gets killed only to come back after a few seconds. Hope it's at least the same, if not better in 5.1.
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] prophet558:
Got the device and I was able to change the default launcher. Changed the app settings to allow the custom launcher to run in the background and to auto start. The launcher stayed even after killing recent apps. Video linked below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWhQY1anrl4
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] riz157:
Wow how did you manage that??

That would be great if you could share that with the community.
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] prophet558:
Settings->App Management -> Default App Management -> Homescreen

Then in the app info page of the custom launcher :

- Enabled 'Allow Auto Startup'

-Choosing 'Allow Running In The Background' in the Power Saver option.

Though I believe this works only in the Indian ROM.

One weird thing is that whenever I long press the Play Store app icon in the dock to change it's location to the homescreen, the launcher reverts to the stock one. Got to see if this happens with other custom launchers as well.
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] ismailonrails:
So many dealbreakers for me

I just got mine, so for me a lot of deal breakers,

Netflix I use a lot and It won't play Netflix in HD(720p or 1080p),

USB port is 2.0 speed,

vibration motor is cheap IMO its same as on Oneplus 6,

DLNA won't play movies on my TV.

Its my first day so I might find more issues. I was okay with no IP rating or stereo speakers, or SDcard,

a lot of Banking apps won't work for me.

can't change launcher
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] prophet558:
IIRC Linus was able to view HD content on Netflix with this device. And yeah you're right the vibration motor is quite bad. It's OPPO after all, always looking to cut costs wherever it's possible. Actually surprised that they used SD 845 instead of SD 600 series or Helio P60 SOC.
[Oppo Find X Questions & Answers] Allesa:
I can confirm Netflix isn't playing on full HD. I'm using find x global version (Indonesia)

Also, ColorOS only limits up to 5 non recommended apps to auto-start(whatsapp, instagram, facebook, are the recommended apps). That means we are not able to receive push messages from non recommended apps if it is not running.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] tobehuman:
Hello all,

I flashed the T-Mobile firmware for my SG-965U1 from Sammobile. I'd like to go back to the stock firmware for it, but am unsure which one of the listed firmwares is for it. Is it the USC (not sure if that means unbranded or US Cellular), or something else?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] CrazyApe18:
Well, technically XAA is what it came with. I don't think it matters anyway. I have no idea why they post all those different U1 firmwares. Same with U for that matter. Anyway, if you grab the SamFirm tool, that's faster anyway. Put in SM-G965U1 for model, and XAA for region. You'll be done in no time.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ricardonoli:
I flashed my verizon with firmware S G965U1 that downloaded it from this forum. Forgive my ignorance but I have to ask this, I can flash my u1 with an AIO version of Argentina downloaded from samobile. Thank you very much, and sorry if it is not the right thread to ask this question.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] eyewin:
Hi guys,

I just need some general direction here.

I recently purchased a locked Sprint S9 Plus and I had successfully flashed the firmware to the unlocked version of the phone (Model number showing SM-G965U1 )

I had plugged in the sim card to the new phone, only to receive a message that says "Invalid Sim card." I also checked the system apps and it looks like there are some Sprint apps still on the phone. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] CrazyApe18:
You got confused about what "unlocked" means in various contexts. It's easy to do. The U1 firmware is for devices that are sold as "factory unlocked" from Samsung, Best Buy, and Amazon. But what that really means is "unbranded and unlocked". By flashing U1 firmware on a Sprint (SIM locked) device, you now have an unbranded device, but flashing U1 firmware cannot SIM unlock it. Those are different things. You still need a proper SIM unlock, regardless of what firmware happens to be running on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] eyewin:
Wow, and after 2 weeks of research - I thought I had it all together.

I've looked up a few options to SIM unlock the phone. They seem to be:

1) root the phone, then sim unlock it (is this possible?)

2) get a sim unlock code (any recommedations?)

OR

3) get a new unlocked or carrier-specific phone

Anyone have inputs for options 1 or 2?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] CrazyApe18:
Can't discuss such things on XDA. Your carrier should unlock for you once you've met their requirements.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] eyewin:
Unfortunately my family was going through a carrier switch where I purchased the phone before they changed their minds to go with Verizon. Now I'm stuck with a Sprint phone while my family went with Verizon.

I would gladly guidance from anyone, through PM or through this post, and is MUCH appreciated. Thank you in advance.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] andre_alves2:
My phone recently became dead out of nowhere, I was using it like everyday, social media apps, outlook, whatever. The screen simply became frozen and I hard reset the device using the volume and power button trick. It restarted like nothing happened and after 15 or 20 minutes it became frozen again, only that after this, hard reset didn't work anymore and it never turned on again. I sent it to sony repair and they denied my warranty saying that my phone had some scratches on the body. My phone is barely a paper wheight since then. I decided to try recovering and all the stuff, I was pretty acquainted with old sony phones and did a lot of flashing back in the days, but I can find no much discussion about the XA1 Ultra. I'm struggling with a lot of errors in the flashing process, I believe that the device is not being recognized by my computer so if anyone can give me some advices on how to procedure here.

I've already faced this issues below:

1- No loader found. After some searches, I already found that some new sony phones don't need loader in the process of flashing, but yet flashtool insists in asking for it.

2- Flashing process gets stuck in "Reading device information". I'm aware that flashtool doesn't officially recognizes the XA1 Ultra (G3226), but I found some people commenting that they were able to flash this model after some patching, which I've already did unsucessfully.

3- Device disconnect from flashmode about 30s after process begin, usually in conjunction with the "Reading device information" issue. I don't know nothing about this yet.

I've tried run this process in 3 different pcs (win 7 and win 10) and I get the same issues in all of them. Don't know how to procede anymore and I'm really annoyed with a dead phone right now. If someone could help with any of these topics I'll be very grateful.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] lonewolfbtown:
1: what's your flashtool version

2: I had to add my g3223 to the flash tool list to flash things

3: reading device information usually means something happened. I just kept closing flash and re opening till it worked. Also opening with admin rights is a must
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] andre_alves2:
I'm using flashtool latest version. I'm also always running it with admin permissions. I'm now stuck in this situation, the flashtool gives an error after a while trying to read device information. When my phone LED turns from green to red, i also hear a sound notification from windows saying that some device has been disconnected. I think that from this point I can't make progress with flashing because my phone keeps disconnecting from flashmode.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] lonewolfbtown:
Try a different cord, try a different port. Don't use USB 3.0 ports. Reinstall the drivers under you root flashtool folder. Something is prevent from flashtool reading your driver information

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyclistCow:
As in title, I have the SM-G950F Optus model and tried to root using TWRP and Magisk. Worked fine but had the "Unauthorised actions detected" message. After a reboot, I got the "Official firmwares only" message and couldn't get past the Samsung splash screen. Used the instructions from an xda thread I can't link (new poster) titled: "OFFICIAL STOCK Firmware-update (Odin) thread Samsung GALAXY S8 SM-G950F", but it would fail every time. Eventually I tried only placing the AP section, that worked and I could get into my phone.

The issue now is that the phone believes it is rooted, so I can't use Google Pay, Netflix etc. It also can only access about 9 GB of 64, kinda frustrating.

So I'm just looking for a way to get back to square one, reset completely and forget I even tried.

Hi, i just bought an emergency fone, htc one m8 - well anyway i hate the stock of it, just duznt seem normal aye - as the title implies i wanna know what roms are so stable that everything actually works without having to read through thousands of pages of bull**** just ta find an answer, and dont say to me that this questions been asked before, just answer the question aye - any recommends? i just want simple ****
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanGeorges:
If this is an emergency phone, and if everything works (no bugs), I highly recommend you don't mess with it. Keep it stock.

Keeping it stock is the best way to ensure that it will work appropriately in an emergency, which is the reason you purchased it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You haven't been specific to what "everything works" means. Everything works just fine on the stock ROM. If you are having specific issues, name them, and maybe someone can advise you more properly.

So what exactly constitutes "bullsh_t"??? I would suggest you tread carefully before coming onto a forum and flinging around borderline insults to all the valuable information contained here. XDA us a wealth of information, for those patient enough to read and learn. Your comment makes you sound entitled, and too lazy to do that. In the end, this is just another n00b thread asking the cringe-worthy question "What is the best ROM?" Completely contrary to the whole point of XDA.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M4elstr0m:
thats not quite the reason i bought the fone - i dropped my old fone and its straight broke! so emergency meaning i needed a fone quick! but yep, i get what you mean, cheers and thanks:)

let me reiterate ... i hate the stock of it, so many things i just dont use and probably would never use either are loaded in the background - sense, car, dot thing ... yep ... nup!

i bought a case for it and wondered why it would keep blacking out the screen when id set it sideways watching a vid - background things that id never use - the dot thing!

rooting the device ... 165 apps being optimized? thats a lot of apps for stock! and people wonder why ther battery dont last but then a noob would never know

now what i mean by everything is - digging through thread after thread i read about sim card not being detected, camera not working, imei's going missing, and then theres this thing called s-on and it seems that i cant change that now without paying for it...

hey dont get me wrong, i love xda and for sure there's great information here - what bothered me and prompted me to write this on such manner was i saw a guy ask along the lines of the best rom and then sum prick comes and tells him this questions been asked before and then pretty much proceeds ta tell him ta **** off, no suggestions, no help, just get the **** on ...

maybe cringey to you but i am a noob and i'd like ta know and if its contrary to xda to answer this question then how helpful is it?
