[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] bassbounce:
I got vertical color banding on the amoled display due no quality control.

By oneplus it wasn't passed.

Mi mix 2 have very bad pixel response time if u scroll the text gets blurry.

Redmi note 5 a bit blurry when scrolling but display have image retention same issue is on the Redmi note 4 in some displays.

And also don't forget edl modus is blocked by Xiaomi, already hundreds of people have bricked phones because of that ridiculous policy.

Ppl are begging to get permission to revive their phone already hundreds of pages after the anti roll back is launched.

I had 4 Xiaomi phones in the past but this Mi 8 is the latest phone I will ever buy from that company with no quality control and crazy policy.

If u brick ur Oneplus no problem u can fix it, edl is not blocked.

Also the custom rom support is massively more look at the Mi mix 2s support and the Oneplus 6 support.

Mi forums is full of medal fetish people, the only thing that people say on that forums is thank you.

Never seen such robotic community, it is crazy.

So my advice is get away from any Xiaomi phone, and invest your money in a decent phone with a decent community like the one at Oneplus.

Buying a second hand Oneplus is always better than a brand new Xiaomi.

I have never seen this before, I have owned many devices from different manufacturers but that company and community really beats everything what I've seen.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] DoR3M3:
Well if it's true that they have no Quality Control, that's not good. But a company as large as Xiaomi would want quality control to protect their interests, not just consumers. Without it, something like this could cost a company more money in damaged goods.

So is there truly no Quality Control at all at Xiaomi, or is it really just bad Quality Control they have? I'd like to see some online articles if anyone knows that truly shows this company doesn't have any QC.

The Mi A1 has EDL mode, I used it once, I know it's there and working...

Did anyone ever seen this Article on OnePlus?

https://www.howtogeek.com/340174/its-time-to-stop-buying-phones-from-oneplus/

Seems like How-To-Geek doesn't like OnePlus.

There are Pros & Cons with all companies, nothing is perfect, I guess in the end, you have to pick the lesser of the evils you can handle... LOL

I also think more as a consumer when I buy something, like, is this a company I want to spend my money on and support...

Agree, Nokia promised to look at the bootloader unlock but it never happens.

One thing for sure, more and more company's restrict bootloader unlock.

Please thumbs up for kernel source release:

The more that do it hopefully the quicker they release it.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] DoR3M3:
The NOOBS over at the GitHub post, don't seem the UNDERSTAND the MEANING of the WORD ---> ISSUES!

Peeps act like it's a bloody forum to spam it like that... Bloody noobs! :(

LOL
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] infrag:
Well maybe you should tell us where else to post it?

Its an issue that they havent released sources... if they wont do as promised than its an issue.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] DoR3M3:
There is no where to post, other then Xiaomi's Offical Forums, those are the correct places to ask about all this.

https://c.mi.com/forum.php

Or send Xiaomi an email...

But it's a complete waste of time bugging a manufacture about releasing source. They know about it, it's the way it is whenever any Android Developer releases a phone, everyone in the industry knows this. So that's why I said NOOBS on GitHub, because it's not the place, and there is no place that makes any difference.

All you can do is wait! ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] infrag:
NOOBS?

You're calling arter97 a noob?

https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/issues/925

He even gets a response with a release date...

I dont think its a waste of time.

Your post however seems to be rather condescending and a waste of everyones time.

If you'd like to do nothing and wait thats up to you. However if theres even a small chance posting there will help I and hopefully others will do so regardless if its the ideal place to post or not.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] DoR3M3:
There's no point in carrying on this, if you don't understand what and how GitHub works, it's just simple Web Etiquette.

It's not about being condescending, it's about you and the others being disrespectful, spamming on GitHub.

Sorry wasn't trying to be disrespectful, Noobs to me, just means, those that don't know any better, like the newbies, all the same to me...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] infrag:
Petition created also

https://www.change.org/p/xiaomi-xiaomi-please-release-source-code-for-mi8-kernel
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] DoR3M3:
As I said above, I wasn't trying to be disrespectful.

This seems to go on all the time in the Xiaomi corner, peeps always crying about the source, it never seems to stop...

Anyhow, Peace! :)
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] infrag:
No there is no point carrying on like that so please stop. Its just part of XDA etiquette.

Its about you thinking you have a right to disrespect other peoples efforts to get an outcome achieved.

We aren't being disrespectful on GitHub. We are asking for source code to be released on Xiaomi's GitHub which happens to be where they are releasing their sources and where any meaningful progress can be made getting this done.

Just because its not they type of issue that is meant to be put on GitHub doesn't mean it doesn't belong in Xiaomi's GitHub.

If Xiaomi was using their GitHub to actually develop their sources instead of a code release repo then I'd agree with you.

However they aren't and therefore these types of issues are the only issues worth posting about there.

Now I'm done with this. Please let us just get on with spamming as you call it the Xiaomi github... it doesnt affect you does it?

Peace!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] bassbounce:
Now the Poco F1 is almost available and it is very hyped atm.

Maybe it will cannibalize this phone, in term of popularity and custom roms.

Kernel sources are nice but look at the Mi Mix 2s almost no development.

Mi 8se also no development.

When a note get the sources in 1 week 10 roms, I think I betted on the wrong phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] krugerbud:
Ive voted in github and on your petition. Thanks for all your replies mate, and your effort and support in championing the cause.. I bloody hope these sick kants release a source code soon and btw oz oz oz!

I'm gonna keep my unit sealed for the next month, if nothing comes up, i'll just sell it. Like bassbounce said, Poco F1s round the corner and the battery size itself has impressed me.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Bobyouall:
I updated to 9 from 8.1 and now if I swipe a certain way, the display turns off and I have to press power. It's annoying when I'm trying to swipe to use the keyboard. Any ideas?

EDIT: Figured it out. Was a gesture setting with elementalX kernal. Just had to disable it in the kernal manager.
[General Questions and Answers] shepscrook:
So I'm curious. I've been looking at some of the phones from Xaiomi, Honor, Essential, Huawei and others, and they have some really nice looking phones. However a lot of the ones that I see are GSM Unlocked and mention that they do not work on Sprint or Verizon. However I've read that certain phones like the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Global phone can work on Verizon even though the listings say they can't.

So I've been trying to figure out what phones work on Verizon that are newer phones from some of these companies. Has anyone looked in this previously?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] SteadyDisorder:
I'm wondering if there's any chance for G6 to receive further updates. So far, the phone has been rebranded to LG G6 ThinQ (update v20b), but it only changed boot image and upgraded camera app. Are there any further updates planned? Will G6 receive features known from V30? I have to admit I'm very disappointed with lack of security updates, so LG can at least provide some new features or app updates.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jshames:
Nobody here has any additional information that is not already available publicly...

Of course there's a chance...just not a very big one :)

Back in February it was announced that the G6 will be part of the Android Enterprise program which guarantees timely updates.

But clearly that did not happen-- given that the g6 just updated to 8.0 and not even 8.1

So don't hold your breath

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ed.ge_2d:
A week ago I bought a Huawei mate 10 with box, was second hand but the aesthetically was new, even with their stickers. The seller did not indicate that the phone had gone through a process of rebranding. Just when I get to my house look for a way to update it and I realized that I did not get the updates by OTA watching the version of the cell I realized that in compilation only appears System 8.0.0.38 (O2YJ) and not as usual. ALP-L29C185 for example. Searching the Internet I found out about everything that is the process of rebranding and what happens to my phone is that the person who did the rebranding did not complete the process, because in the end you have to flash the firmware twice and only once did , is there any way I'm going to do this flash without paying funkyhuawei? Since buying a package of 6 credits to only use one seems ridiculous. No matter if it is an advanced tutorial, I have years experience with Android and Xda:D Thank you wholeheartedly really need ota updates i have One of they first builds. My original phone model are alp-l29 So I think he rebrand did it to give him IMEI As it was probably a live demo model u.u
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
Is bootloader still unlocked?

If it is this is a lot easier.

If not you'd have to use DC-unlocker/HCU to get unlock code, then you can rebrand manually to your desired cust.

I think you need 4 credits for that, which is $4 and is a lot cheaper than FH.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ed.ge_2d:
How do I know if it's unlocked
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
Power off phone, hold volume down and plug in usb c cable from computer to phone.

It will enter fastboot mode and should say "Phone unlock" and hopefully "FRP Unlock".
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ed.ge_2d:
Phone Locked, frp unlock.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] ante0:
You can get unlock code then through HCU-client (dc-unlocker). It's the only way to get unlock code, but price is only $4 (4 credits) compared to FH which is $40ish.

After you have unlocked phone (from fastboot, 'fastboot oem unlock ##unlock_code##') you could use TWRP by Pretoriano80 (https://xdaforums.com/mate-10/development/huawei-mate-10-pro-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3769904) and HuRUpdater (https://xdaforums.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279) to finish rebrand (If you know the intended cust), or use HWOTA to rebrand again to your desired cust (HWOTA: https://mega.nz/#!oeATEQQb!qiP3mYlQQgZYlaS3dbY_QCwNJ-urTKyLQ2zKOA9KP8g).

I have lost instructions to HWOTA though, but it should be doable with the command prompt instructions.

If you're unsure about what cust the seller was planning to rebrand to you can dump OEMINFO from TWRP (Advanced -> Terminal -> dd if=/dev/block/platform/ff3c0000.ufs/by-name/oeminfo of=/sdcard/oeminfo.bin )

then transfer to computer and open it in a hex editor. Then search for the string: 'BLA-', and Search for next until you find one which has Cust in it (For example: BLA-L29 8.0.0.127 (C432) says mine at second result.)

I have been experiencing battery drains after this new update (RH5)...usually I will get 5.5 hrs SOT with 25% battery.

Yesterday I only get 3.5hrs SOT with 24% left with same usage pattern.

Has anyone experiencing the same ?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
It just reminds me of the s9+'s first OTA in March. Or the first or 2nd OTA of the S8+ last year for that matter.

..

Erase cache in recovery, give it a week time and then recheck. In my own experience, Doze takes a little longer time in Samsung flagships than other phones due to some obvious reasons.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Zanr Zij:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] tomj777:
I suspect part of this reduction is that, in my case, it appears that the screen brightness needs retraining - after the update a few days back I noticed that the screen is notably brighter.... Same deal, I think, to when I first bought mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] paul_59:
Another possibility is the change in SOT has nothing to do with the update but is caused by variable usage that you aren't fully aware of.

As an example in the last five days, with the same Android version and same apps installed my screen on time has varied as follows

Battery 100% to 13% (87%) 6hrs 54m sot

87% to 16% (71%) 4 hrs 3m

80% to 0% (80%) 4hrs 51m

100% to 42% (58%) 5hrs 33m

94% to 8% (86%) 3hrs 26m
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
"ARI1" OTA with September Sec. Patch is the "new" update in my region- flashed 5 days back.

Excessive battery drain & heating I had been facing post flashing. Erasing cache in recovery didn't help but factory resetting and then erasing did fix both.

Additionally, ARCore" by Google was draining up little more than usual and is now fixed with an update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] JB Orton:
I got a new note 9 and would end up with up to 51% of battery life when I went to bed at midnight. Got an update and the battery couldn't make it till 6:00 pm. Called AT&T and they had me get a new note 9 since it was less than 14 days. Got a new out of the box note 9 and updated it before we transferred anything onto it. Two days later it was asking me to do an update again. I postponed the update for over a week. The lowest my battery got in that week was 39% at midnight after a heavy usage day. Then yesterday (10/17/18) morning it said it was doing an update and shutting my phone down in 10 seconds even though I was not on WYFI . It did the update without my permission. At 6:00 pm I had to plug in the charger because it was at 7% battery. Today at 6:56 pm the battery was at 7%.

I checked the battery usage on every app. Device Maintenance used 18%, Find My Mobile used 18%, Bixby Voice Wake up used 19% (and I have it shut off as much as possible), Samsung Experience Home used 11% and Google used 10%. How do we fix this programming problem since none of these apps can be controlled by the user?

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] laviniu_c:
yep will be an upgrade, in everything except the display size. you actually lose a bit of screensize and screen/body ratio. but wont be so bad, at least you're used to having the body areas around the top/bottom of the screen. android version is the same, 8.1 so that's good, you're already accustomed to it.

it will probably feel much thinner and lighter! speedier. this seems rather quick to switch the stylo 4... something that chased you away from it?
