[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
I know I sure as hell won't be getting a Note 9. I've been on stock Android since replacing my old Galaxy S2(that phone was such a piece of ****...worst purchase I've ever made) with a Nexus 5 followed by a Nexus 5X and my current Pixel 2 XL. Even though Samsung's software has improved quite a bit since the Galaxy S2 I still personally think it's crap compared to stock Android. Haven't used the Note 9 enough to tell if there is any lag but the Note 8 still had noticable lag and still has the same issues with greatly decreased performance after major updates that the Galaxy S2 had.

Also, considering the hardware the Note 9 battery life seems to be unimpressive. A brand new phone with a SD 845 and 4000mAh battery seems to be getting the same battery life as my 10 month old Pixel 2 XL with a SD 835 and 3520mAh battery.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] YankInDaSouth:
I did, used it for 6 days and am back to my Pixel 2 XL and plan on selling the Note 9 on Swappa. Note 9 is nice and is certainly feature rich, but I just wasn't feeling it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Guyinlaca:
I have both the Pixel 2 XL and an unlocked Note 9, 512 GB/8 GB RAM. The software experience on the Pixel 2 XL is smoother but lacks customization. Here's what I did to achieve a clean look on the Note 9 and performance is very fast.

Install Nova Launcher

Install PixelizeD theme

Install patched Google Phone app

Install Nova Launcher

Install Gboard

Install Android Messages or Textra

Disable or deny permissions to Samsung equivalents

The Note 9 with better/bigger screen, bigger battery, more RAM, wireless charging, theme options is definitely my daily driver.

The Pixel 2 XL doesn't require any tweaks for smooth performance, but some may find the software too minimalist. The superior camera and fast updates are it's strongest selling points at the moment. Once Google fully implements its new material design with light and dark themes, it may finally have the cohesive look that skinned interfaces have provided.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] YankInDaSouth:
Until (or if? ) Samsung fixes this I cannot foresee myself using the Note 9. This picture is unacceptable for a $1000+ device IMO
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] YankInDaSouth:
So, full disclosure - after posting the same pics on another forum someone suggested I check the rear picture camera size setting on my Note 9. Kinda feel stupid for not thinking about that myself as I have been tinkering with smartphones going on 10 years now ... but as it would turn out the size was set to 18.5:9 (7.9 MP) and not 4:3 (12 MP). Don't recall ever messing with this setting, but even if I did I would not opt for the lower MPs ... I just assumed it would be set to the max MP out of the box. Anyways, hoping this makes a substantial difference in what I've been seeing from the Note 9 pics, we shall see.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] 96carboard:
It still suggests a bug, because the camera should be capturing with square pixels, and the pixels should be displayed 1:1 -- scaled linearly in both dimensions.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dmb219:
I sold my P2XL and bought an S9+. It's a good phone but was a downgrade for me. Great display but I didn't like the Samsung stuff. I replaced everything I could to make it more like my Pixel. Battery life was less. Some like the Samsung product and that's fine. The Note is probably an upgrade in most respects including battery life. I sold my S9+, will be waiting for the new Pixels, will probably grab the big one. I don't love the notch but it's not a big deal for me. I think there will be enough incentives to make the new Pixels a success. That may be storage for photos or in general with Google One or maybe a competitive price. Just a guess, no inside scoop here. :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] YankInDaSouth:
Just can't do the Note 9 ... Keep trying, and it's for other reasons besides the camera, but the photo quality is certainly a pretty big factor.

Both these pics are really good when you get down to it, but I just prefer the true to life colors and nice clarity of the Pixel 2 XL
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mattbeau:
I used lawnchair launcher with my note 8 before selling and getting the pixel2xl. It's about as close as I could get.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Gilley:
I tried it for a week, I loved everything about it besides the camera (and battery the last 2 days... not sure when I ported in GCam the battery started to take a ****) . Screen and build quality were perfect and was very snappy unlike other ones I have tried right out of the box. But I packed it up and will be returning it today. I cant justify spending 1k on a phone that looks like the pictures were taken with a potato especially when I use my camera a lot to capture my kids. Had a couple good chances and the Note 9 camera looked like crap and I was unhappy with it. The GCam port helped the quality a lot but like I said my battery decided it was only getting liek 4 hours of SOT after that was installed. I was getting 5-8 before that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] fishpower187:
Thanks for the heads up! I'll give it a shot. Sidenote: I came across something that purported to be the actual Pixel 2 launcher .apk as well as the stock Android Dialer apk. downloaded them both to my Note 9, and while it made my Note 9 look like a Pixel (aside from a few things once you get into sub menus in settings), it drained my battery like nothing I've seen before (in 45 minutes of my phone sitting next to me doing nothing, it went from 72% to 36%); decided it had to be some crypto-mining bull****, so I nuked it. Problem went away. Was nice while it lasted.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Questions & Answers] Machi007:
Hi,

I have new unlocked Axon 7 Mini and after Nougat upgrade there is a new VoLTE option in the menu. I can turn it on but nothing happens. My carrier is Vodafone Czech Republic and it supports VoLTE, for example on my second phone, Nubia N2, with the same sim card, when I turn on VoLTE, the icon appears in statusbar and everything works. On MTK phones there is also hidden Engineering Menu (*#*#3646633#*#*) where are some IMS settings, and is possible to set "operator_code" and "mncmcc check" to get VoLTE working.

For Qualcomm Snapdragon phones, I found this guide here on XDA:

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-5t/how-to/guide-volte-vowifi-german-carriers-t3817542

But when I open "PDC" app in my QPST start menu folder my device is not listed and there are no options to change.

Is here someone with an european carrier and has VoLTE working on Axon 7 Mini? If you know how to get it working, please share your experiences.

Any help will be much appreciated. :good:
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Questions & Answers] Machi007:
I did a modem image backup from my phone - the file NON-HLOS.bin can be opened in WinImage and what is interesting, here is the directory structure:

View attachment 4583001

There are modem configuration files (mcfg_sw.mbn) for different operators in different countries. It looks like that Vodafone VoLTE is supported in these european countries: Deutschland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Turkey and UK.

And other interesting thing are these "secret" codes:

*#*#6266344#*#* – SW MBN Configuration.

*#*#3266344#*#* – HW MBN Configuration.

*#*#33266344#*#* – setMbnAppState: false

*#*#76266344#*#* – setMbnAppState: true

- The last one enables hidden application "MBN Test" which allows select particular "mcfg_sw.mbn" files mentioned above and activate specific modem configurations for particular operators in various countries.

My idea was to activate MBN configuration file for example "VoLTE Vodafone Italy" which may contain similar configuration as Vodafone Czech Republic. But when I try to activate it, phone is immediately restarting and after restart the settings are gone and the default MNB file is loaded, which is, in my case, OpenMkt-Commercial-CU.

Here are some screenshots from the app MBN Test:

Also I have tried to add the IMS APN but it has no effect at all. :rolleyes:
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Questions & Answers] SGH-i200:
How can I start the 'MBN test' app after enabling it via *#*#76266344#*#* ? It's not listed in my app launcher.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Questions & Answers] Machi007:
The "MBN Test" icon should appear automatically in your launcher once you have activated the app using the code.

And *#*#33266344#*#* code hides the app shortcut.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Questions & Answers] SGH-i200:
I forgot that I'm running LOS14.1 which does not support VoLTE and doesn't have that test app. Too bad. I want VoLTE and LineageOS! :(

[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Pomaraczowy:
Is it possible that we're not getting official android pie update?

Many sites mentioned that H9 will probably not get the update but at the same time telling that H9 lite will most likely get one. It sounds stupid considering that they were both released almost at the same time and our phone supposed to be a "flagship" one.

I guess we'll know after IFA

It's pretty unlucky that they released H10 and many other phones so fast :eek:

[P8lite Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoanSB1:
I've tried to install some custom ROMS and always I have problem, both for ROMS with extension .zip (with TWRP) and for extension .img(with ADB). Anyway I always fail. Even to make backups with TWRP, also to wipe cache. For all always there an error, I don't understand why. In the past I had install Samsung ROMs without problem, but in Huawei have been an infernal experience, all is so much hard.

-When I try to wipe cache, appears an error that says

"Unable to wipe cache.

Unable to wipe /cache."

-When tryng to flash stock recovery from TWRP appears an error that says

"Size of image is larger than target device"

-When tryng to make BACKUP with TWRP appears an error saying

"Can not create '/external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/<<serialnumber>>/<<actuallydate>>' folder (Permission denied).

Failed to make backup folder."

-When trying to flash a .zip ROM from TWRP says

"Updater process ended with ERROR: 7

Error installing zip file 'external_sd/LineageOS15.1-Hi6250-08-18-2018.zip'

When trying to flash GSI ROM(extension .img) with ADB, after "writing 'system' 1/4..." says

"FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)

[Touch Cruise General] fran_mad:
Hello,

I´m trying to change Phone/Dialer application that is set by default in Cruise because of compatibility problem with internal or front speaker.

I don’t known if it is possible or the way to do it.

Can somebody help me, please?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Cruise General] hambola:
Exactly what is the compatibility issue that you're having with the default dialer skin on the Cruise? Are you sure the dialer is the source of whatever speaker issue you might be having?

Aside from the serious lag when painting the dialer I haven't heard/seen any problems with the dialer.
[Touch Cruise General] fran_mad:
Many times, when receiving or making phone calls, internal or front speark don’t works. I have read others users with the same problem:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=381610

But, when making or receiving a call, if you press several times external speaker or hands free button on display, it will work again.

I have note that this happen when you are working with an application that uses only external speaker (for example Tom Tom, Compe Pocket, etc.). I suppose that this application mutes or shutdown internal or front speaker and Cruise´s phone/dialer application don´t make it works again. But, pressing several times that display bottom it works again.

I am looking for another software for Calling or handling Cruise´s phone in order to test this theory.
[Touch Cruise General] hambola:
Yeah i saw your post in the other thread. i have not had that problem. did you try stopping all other applications to see if when they are killed they release the front speaker?

The only possibility you have is to use "DisplayLink". You will need an app from play store and a special cable (USB to HDMI with DisplayLink chipset + USB-C to USB-A adapter)

You can just look here: http://www.displaylink.com/

And you can just look on Amazon (search for displaylink) and look if the cable you want have one of these chipsets: http://www.displaylink.com/integrated-chipsets

I never tried it with display link only read about it.

Additionally you need this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.displaylink.presenter

the alternative way to display-link as written above - is to work with Chromecast, I tried that but for some reason the screen casting is not 100% full screen

Hello,

You need to put your phone into Qualcomm Dloader mode again.

On the main board of your phone, there is a way to short-connect some two pins to enable the Qualcomm Dloader

and then you need QFIL to load the recovery files onto the phone to enable the normal android download mode.

crDroid is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device also attempting to bringing many of the best features existent today. We're mainly based on LineageOS so use custom kernels compatible with them!

​

Features

Click for feature list (helps shorten the OP.)

Always Have a full functional Backup. Just in case!

DOWNLOAD ROM

Kernel source

GAPPS: DOWNLOAD GAPPS

First time installing crDroid to your ENTER-PHONE-NAME, or coming from another ROM: <--THESE MAY NEED UPDATING FOR YOUR PARTICULAR DEVICE; BE THOROUGH IN INSTRUCTIONS-->

** Make sure you're running a proper working Recovery (CWM or TWRP)

1) Copy crDroid zip, gapps zip to your device

2) Boot into Recovery

3) Wipe cache, system, & data (or just cache & system for a dirty flash).

4) Flash ROM

8) Flash gapps

9) Boot up

For root, AFTER you boot into the ROM, you can go back to recovery and install Magisk XX.x (whatever is most recent).

Upgrading from earlier version of crDroid:

The only difference between clean flash as above and upgrading is you just wipe system & cache, leaving data. Everything else is the same. ***Remember to always clean flash before reporting problems. Clean flashing is always the best method of ROM install.

KNOWN ISSUES

if knows ping me

Don't expect any support if you:

- are not running the included kernel

- have installed any mods such as Xposed!

- have modified system files
