[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] darknessdsc:
Yes ofc coz it already gone... but for the next restore, just backup the data portion and restore the data (this is what im doing nowadays.)

For the restore, for me personally, i'm using the mega unbrick https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/how-to/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3796051 then proceed to update to 5.1.9 using OTA. Then after that you can unlock and do your stuff again.

For the bat, you probably good with running the flash-all-partitions-fastboot.bat. See the instruction in the thread though.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Vivasanti:
Thanks ill try and proceed now, and that was my next question, how the heck to i even make a working back up!

I used to be so confident with flashing but this thing is a PITA, so i just need to tick Data?

Cheers for your help!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Vivasanti:
Didnt work, i ran the .bat file in fastboot mode, i got alot of errors, it went through a, then b, then got to the end, hit key to continue and im still in fastboot mode :(

/EDIT - worked, just had to reboot.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] darknessdsc:
Yep.. PITA for this devices because of this A/B Partition. Anyway, for creating the backup for me the steps are:

- Remove Security Lock (In case you forgot this you need to delete some files for restore later)

- Backup in TWRP (Tick Data Only)

Restoring just flash new OOS then after you got in (setting up the devices), then go restore your backup (Data).

For these A/B partition things you better read this thread

Last night my kaiser went crazy:eek:. The keys don't respond anymore. It also opens comm-manager and the dialer randomly, I just don't get it:confused:. Is there anybody who's got the same problem? I tried soft reset, hard reset and flashing 2 times but nothing works. Is there somebody who's got a solution?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MikeChannon:
Sounds like a physical problem to me. Either a loose ribbon cable or a stuck key that is not releasing. Only one other possibility in addition to those two and that would be if any of the keypads got wet or damp - this could have the same effect.

However, I'm just getting the standard AOSP recovery screen when I boot into recovery.

If I reboot to the bootloader (either with the power+volume keys or by using adb reboot recovery) I get the "No Command" android guy, and then I press power button + up volume and....it just puts me into standard recovery.

What am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to do this to flash LineageOS 13 to the device. Moto X 2013 developer edition (Verizon).

This was with the version released in India.

Proximity sensor and heating issue

I bought A2 in India via Amazon. Aug update done. Today when I was on a call I realised that my torch was on. I found that phone was on during call. Yesterday I also faced a issue that camera app hangs and phone got heated quickly ..may be because if camera app remains open in background...need to find out...certainly not impressed with my first and last Xiaomi device
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] srgudhka:
I purchased it in India via Amazon. Its updated to August security update. I only have issues with proximity sensor. It screen lights sometimes during call and is slow post call sometimes.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] minnuss:
I have a problem with proximity sensor, it is not hardware issue, I believe that it is maybe bad position or we are used to hold different phone when talking, because it is working perfectly when you test the sensor, but when you are talking it depends where you are holding the phone, and there can be some touches with ear.

So yes, it is a little problem for now.

I installed smart call screen lock from gplay, and testing it now to see how it goes with this app.

What should the system do with ram instead? It's there to be used and filled up with running apps.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] maitred:
Thank you for the information. Management is what I am talking about.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Benjamin_L:
I still don't understand the problem. Why do you want ram to be empty? Apps will be killed accordingly when more ram is needed.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] maitred:
I will try to explain it to you but I am not sure that you will understand.

It for the same reasons you can find mobiles with 6 and 8 GB of RAM in the market. Normally people don't like slow mobile phones. It is not bad to have some extra RAM provided from your mobile. A good mobile should handle the needs of the applications. Less used RAM causes less battery drain besides the other benefits . Very important for our A2.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Benjamin_L:
Less used ram causes less battery consumption? Do you have any benchmarks? Do you think the unused chips will be powered off? I seriously doubt that. And what other benefits are you talking about? Ram is there to be used. Apps in ram will start faster than being cold started.
