Hello, hold all 3 buttons till device goes off. Then right away let go and hold the power button and volume down button till it goes to bootloader then scroll to fastboot and hit power button then scroll to power off. Now you can go back to booloader and and scroll to recovery and your good. This always worked for me. Also you need to download the latest version of twrp to use Oreo. You don't have the latest version. The latest version is 3.2.2-0

Why my 2gb ram mido device is lagging.I have tried all rom but all custom rom start lagg after some day.Then i flashed stable miui but now lag aside even i can't multitask between two app also.Many 2gb ram android phone ls multitasking are smooth but my mido even can't multitask between two app.Please help.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] BK☑️:
2GB?

u should have buyed the 4GB variant , i didnt even knew there was a 2GB variant , maybe theres a android Go rom for mido but i never seen one :confused:

almost no 'good' phone use 2GB of ram now , u cant do anything with 2GB of ram...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Mixermachine:
Definitely not. 4GB would have been better, but 2GB should be enough for light ROMs and light use.

Please check what apps you are using.

Kick Facebook and other "always in background" apps from your device.

Use the original MIUI ROM or LineageOS.

Maybe try to avoid the Google Services.

Backup your favorit apps and don't install the Google Apps with the LineageOS ROM.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Curi0:
3gb is enough
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Shamil shareef:
DotOS is best for 2gb variant.

I'm using DotOS for my redmi note 4 2gb variant. The OS soo smooth and lag free. Im using this rom for almost 5 months..

But....

There is one issue, after 10 or 12 hours my phone can't open any apps or any operations except homescreen.

Restarting the phone will fix the problem temporarily for the next 10-12 hours

Hi All,

My watch stopped booting and it says OS Corrupted. Can i flash OS?

any pointers where to start. I did flashing to phone(beginner though) but not to Watch. Any pointers or alternatives?

I bought this watch in US and now i am in India and these guys are not helping me to fix at Service Center :( :(

Help Plz.

Regards,

KN
[Huawei Watch 2] domopeacemaker:
Maybe what you got is the bootloader open, try to close it.
[Huawei Watch 2] iamkiu:
Can you help me how to do it?

Thanks,

[Huawei Watch 2] domopeacemaker:
Yes, you only have to write "fastboot oem lock" . If you need to download an official image to get your watch clean, you can download it from https://developer.android.com/wear/releases/wear-preview-downloads, but download Oreo version, not Pie.
[Huawei Watch 2] kevinswan007:
did you come right?

Axon 9 officially announced on ZTE's Facebook page!

30. August 2018 IFA, Berlin
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
FINALLY!!!

Been waiting long to get a new device, if they keep the base as good as the Axon 7 and just upgrade it it will be phenomenal.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] troy5890:
Definitely saving up already for this. Hopefully it has a similar design to the Axon 7 with upgraded specs
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] JustaRandomCat:
Unfortunately, it seems to be following the "iPhone X" Notch trend and not a unique design as with the the axon 7. :( Nonetheless, the Axon 9 is almost here! :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
Guys, check out the Pocophone F1.

It's the perfect axon successor for me.

And at only 300$.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RedWave31:
There are pics leaked around the internet now.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] troy5890:
I just checked out the new leak, and I have to say, I'm pretty disappointed. I'll see what the regular model has to offer instead of the pro variant.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soyunamortz:

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
Unfortunately not.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Guido83:
Those teased images of the Axon 9 are pretty ugly to me. Poco F1 seems to be a very intersting successor for the Axon 7
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kleva94:
If these images are real, the is going to be a major flop. Just a lazy copy of the iPhone X.

I guess i gonna skip this generation of phones and stick to my A7, because i want front facing stereo speakers and a at least 1440p Amolad display for Daydream. This is the Pixel the only phone that delivers, but it is way too expensive of course.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nfsmw_gr:
I fully agree with you.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrMD69:
IMO Axon 9 probably ain't gonna be bang/bucks as Poco F1. For me in this moment (before 30.08) Poco F1 Kevlar 8/256 all the way - hands down. Even without DAC, it still have stereo, jack, SD card. Axon 9 will be competitive if will have same components but with DAC and may with better screen than Poco F1.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lycidias:
This Phone sounds very promising :)

Anyone knows if it will be bootloader unlockable?

ZTE Axon 9 pro benchmark test revealed

https://www.phonearena.com/news/ZTE-Axon-9-Pro-specs-benchmark_id108096
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] zolo111:
No notch, no curved screen.

Big battery (4000mah+), dual front facing speakers, dual sim, mSD support, good camera, unlockable bootloader, tons of LTE bands support.

Sadly the closest thing is the ASUS ROG, I'm ok paying a premium for such specs (I'm not even a gamer).

I will not pay $500+ and end up with a phone that lacks any of my requirements.

I replaced the battery in my axon 7 a while ago, will probably replace it one more time a year from now or so. Then just buy mid ranger phones if this shi**y trend keeps happening with notches, curved screens, no headphone jack..etc
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] muzzz33:
Can't say i like the notched phones , the 9 will no doubt be a good phone but I am more than happy with the 7 . I have never managed to put the 7 under enough strain that I would be unhappy with its performance so unless I end up breaking it I can't see me replacing it any time soon .2k screen is only good for VR ,my eyes can't see a difference between 1080 and 2k unless I get the VR on.

I have to say though Xiaomi does make some good phones , I got my wife the Redmi note 5 global with duel cameras and tall screen with no notch! and I am a little jealous . Its fast enough as well with the SD636 and audio is not bad . Metal build with none of this glass backed crap , what is it with these brands that think the more expensive the phone the more they remove ,IE no head phone jack no SD card fragile material and small battery .
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] stdly:
I bought the Axon 7 the day it came out it was a no brainer at the price and quality. What a great buy I love this phone still today I take the case off once in a while just to feel the aluminum body, so sweet.

If these images and stats are correct for the Axon 9 I will not be buying this phone it doesn't have the appeal, it`s to bad they didn't stay with the same design as the 7, the design that we all rave about. Don`t screw with a good thing I say, too bad really.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] marcdw:
The more I read the different spec lists the more I'm liking that Poco. Besides some of the stuff listed here I also see FM radio and infrared. Hope so. That would make it a really well-rounded device.

My daily driver is still my LG G3 (running a favorite three year old PAC-MAN ROM build) but me thinks the emmc is on the way out. This Poco sounds like the ideal replacement.

Keeping an eye out for when it hits the U.S.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] marcdw:
Ugh, just noticed something. The Poco may have stereo speakers but they're bottom firing. That's sort of a bummer and not ideal for multimedia.

My Moto has a bottom speaker. How it sounds depends on where my hand is positioned, as someone mentioned.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RobboW:
The problem is that they don't try to suit current owners, they try to follow trends, good or bad.

I don't so much mind if the DAC goes because I mostly use bluetooth now but do still want the 3.5mm jack as a fallback for non powered headset calls. Notch is rubbish, body design looks boring.

If there was updated global software I would be more interested in an Axon 7S than the 9 from current leaks.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kleva94:
Just watched the presentation of the Axon 9. All the rumours where correct. I have no idea what they are trying to achieve with a price of 650€, while it has almost no advantage over the Poco F1.

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davekra:
I have an Alcatel Streak, 4060o, and I can't find a forum for it. I was hoping someone could direct me or answer a couple questions?

I got it for $10 when I tried Cricket. It no longer has a SIM in it and I'd like to dedicate it to a radio tracker I'm making.

I need to connect it to an SDR usb dongle but it wont recognize it's connected. I don't have the phone in front of me right now so I'm sorry I don't know the OS version/rom version.

Is there a setting for USB host mode? Can I root it? Is there a custom ROM I could load on it?

Again, sorry for not being the correct forum.

Thanks,

Do this seam to run android 6.0 and my opinion this is a clone of the alcatel pixi 3 4.5 4g. i know its a long name but this is alcatel :)

can you view using cpu-z what chipset this phone have ?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davekra:
Thanks for the response.

I'll take a look when I get home from work. According to phonearena.com it's a Snapdragon 210 8909, and running Android 6.

I'll also do some searching for the Pixi 3 but I'm guessing the Pixi is different. It uses the Mediatek MT6735M.

I found an article that mentions a certain file is needed for OTG (and the hardware must support it of course).

"android.hardware.usb.host.xml must exist on the Android device in the folder /system/etc/permissions"

If I can use ADB to get to the folder and create the file it may work.

If possible I'd like to reimage the phone or load a custom rom. I tried using KingRoot to get access and now I can't remove it. The instructions to get from KingRoot to SuperSU didn't work for me.

Thanks again.

Hello all,

I'm looking for the best tempered glass screen protector for Pixel 2. I have looked through the List of Google Pixel 2 Screen Protectors and I have searched Amazon too, but the reviews are either fake-5-star-reviews, or generally poor reviews.

Can anyone recommend the best option for a Pixel 2 tempered glass screen protector?

Thank you :)

I have this one and it's the best IMHO and is case friendly. I can attach some pics for you tomorrow.

Ia am using This glass and it's my third glas right now. 2 times saved my display.

[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] koax88:
is it full adhesive and curved on the edge?
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] munchy_cool:
nopes
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Keithn:
If you are looking for the best, whitestone dome is probably the way to go. It is expensive though. If you aren't worried about full adhesive and curved so it passes the edge of the display there are a lot more options. Spiegen is good for a lower cost option, but it only goes to the edge of the display and doesn't curve.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] ElaineM:
Thank you for all the suggestions. I'll definitely use one of these screen protectors :)
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] chris_erick:
avoid those on ebay for under $3 or aliexpress. you'll just waste your time :)
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] boondiordna:
Quick question: do you (or does anyone on the forum) have one of these and can tell me if I can use it in combination with Google's fabric case?

(Also, I am currently in Germany. I can order one, but the translated text on the Amazon listing sounds like a scam. It also claims to "take away blue light". I want my display as intended, not blue-filtered.

FTR, I've been trying to get the "official" SP (Power Support) from the Google store, buy it isn't available in Germany.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Keithn:
I'm currently using one. I think it would fit the Google case, but I haven't tried. I've used it with an OtterBox symmetry, a speigen tpu, and with the moment case with no issues. It covers the full display but still leaves gaps on the edges.

I haven't noticed any significant blue light filtering but I did see that the description stated that. I can try to compare it against another Pixel 2 with a different screen protector and see.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] boondiordna:
Thanks, that would be nice of you if you could have a look at a second Pixel 2.

FTR, I turned off colour boosting, and really appreciate the near-natural colour provided by Google's OLED settings. I couldn't understand why people complained about the "faded" colours in the beginning. I bought this thing as a camera with a phone, and I want to see my photos as close to what I see while shooting them. Filtering blue light is a bit of a deal-breaker for the glass dome, if perceivable.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] jppowers:
I've had 2 Whitestone Dome Glass protectors. The first had to be replaced when my phone slipped through the gap in my pull out couch and when trying to get out it slipped under one of the couch legs, crushing the screen (no screen protector will help in that case). The second came in today, after some back and forth with Whitedome trying to figure out why it was showing out of stock on Amazon, and I had to trash it less than an hour after opening it.

The first one was a hassle to install but once installed I really, really liked it. The second had a broken bottom piece for installation, causing an imbalance in the phone and I went through 3 (one left over from first install) adhesion tubes before I realized that was why a good bit was slipping over the edge of the phone and not across the display. When I realized what was going on I was kind of angry it even happened, wasn't paying much attention, and the protector cracked when I was removing it to try and clean up everything...

I either got lucky with the first or REALLY unlucky with the second, but either way I'm not buying another one. The installation process isn't exceedingly difficult, but it's just way too cumbersome for what it should be, costs too much, and just isn't worth the headache. Really disappointed in it. Luckily Amazon did me a solid and is letting me refund it.

That first was by far the best I found for TGSP's for the Pixel 2. I'm really hoping the Pixel 3 goes back to fully flat glass, not this "it's curved just enough at the edges to make it extra difficult for third parties to make screen protectors" crap.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] boondiordna:
Follow-up: I tried it and it works with the fabric case, there is stilla gap. [MENTION=5324975]jppowers[/MENTION] is right about the installation process, it is a buggerance. I had an air bubble, glue spilled under the protective sticker on the speaker and it was generally cumbersome.

There is some blue light filtering, which makes sense given that the glue is near-UV-polymerised, but my brain compensates this and I don't see it if not in direct comparison with a screen without the protector.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] bbdcbb:
Hello,

Does this screen protector actually curves around the 2.5d edge of Pixel 2 or is it just that the edges are sloping to give a smoother feel when finger meets the edge of scren protector, but the actual contact surface side of scren proterctor is flat? Would be awesome if you could share close up pictures of this protector on your phone. I am wondering if this screen protector actually creates no ugly halo effect around the preimeter when applied?
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] 100kaa:
Hi, I took few photos, it seems nice.. just to much of dust found way under the protector :(
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] bbdcbb:
Thank you :) this one looks interesting, tempted to buy one myself, but maybe you have idea why there is significant amount of dust stuck? Is protector not full adhesive? Could it be that due to contouring it is unable to stick to whole screen surface properly? Misapplied or high-dust environment? :)
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] 100kaa:
Hey, I don't really know what could be the problem. At the beginning everything was OK, but later problem with dust appeared. I am in normal surroundings, with no extra dust. Office-house.

I bought, as reserve, from same guy foil protection also. Maybe it will be better.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] FSRBIKER:
When a screen protector only has glue on the edges the dust enters at the speaker openings. I'm still using my original Spigen Glass protector with zero dust since it adheres to the whole screen but doesn't cover the curved sides, the pack comes with 2 protectors and I will swap it out soon as the fingerprint resistance isn't the best anymore(but it's been almost a year).
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] jallenhayslett:
Whitestone's Dome is definitely the best by far, but just as everyone else has mentioned, the installation process is a massive hemorrhoid. For what they charge they oughta include a professional in-home installation service.

I highly suggest to anyone who gets the Dome, set aside 2 hours, watch the videos online, prep your area, and be extremely patient. Also, make sure you've eaten and haven't had anything that will make you jittery or anxious like coffee, it will make the whole process much easier to handle and you'll be much less likely to fly into a rage if you run into issues.

Also, as mentioned by others, be sure to fully inspect your glass before you attempt to install it. There is a very thin film on the back of the glass to keep it from splintering in the event of a shatter, and sometimes they end up with bubbles between the glass and film during manufacturing. I went through both tubes of adhesive and a lot of frustration before I realized the bubble was not a personal application error but a flaw in the glass. Getting a replacement was no issue, but I still lost two hours and grumbled quite a few choice words.

Caveats aside, it's a superb full coverage TGSP.
