[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] RobsDeiBobs:
Hello everyone, I'm new in this site and I want to ask you a question.

I want to buy this Xiaomi (mi a2 lite/redmi 6 pro) but I don't have a google account(i don't like those services) so i have to buy a phone which works without a google account... I prefer the mi a2 lite but if it's necessary to insert a google account I will buy the redmi 6 pro... can you help me please?

P.S. I WILL NOT CREATE A GOOGLE ACCOUNT FOR THIS PHONE so, don't reply to me that i have to buy the mi a2 lite and after create a google account without my private informations in order to start the phone with this new account...in this case I ask you to reply me some devices' name which works without a google account...Thanks to everyone!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] BubuXP:
I suppose that if you don't want to use a Google account, it's because you care for your privacy (targeted ads, NSA data harvesting, etc.)

But even if you use a phone without a Google account, on the vast majority of the phones the Google Service and Google apps are preinstalled, and they will spy on you anyway.

The best way to use a phone like you want, without Google interference, is to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM (I highly recommend LineageOS for the privacy).

Custom ROMs often comes without any Google Service or app, so you got a clean Android version after installation that doesn't need any Google account to work. But you might miss some features that only Google can provide: in fact people always install OpenGApps immediately after the ROM when they want Play Store and other Google stuff.

But if you don't want the Google Play Store, you can install apps from alternative stores like F-Droid and XDA Labs.

The problem with Mi A2 Lite is that still there aren't any custom ROMs (it still lacks the main tool to install custom ROMs, that is TWRP). So if you need a smartphone right now and you can't wait for custom ROMs to arrive for Mi A2 Lite, you better choose another device. My personal suggestion is Redmi Note 5 (whyred), that has official LineageOS support and the best hardware for the price. The second best choice is Mi A1 (official LOS support too).
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] iforgotmylogin:
You don't need a Google account for this phone.

I also decided to try my luck and get this phone with the prospect of it one day supporting Lineage OS. The device is Project Treble supported though, so you can flash what's called a GSI (generic system image) without the need for TWRP.

Though GSIs are, well, generic. Not tuned to any particular phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] RobsDeiBobs:
thanks BubuXP

Thank you so much, but now I think that I'll buy the xiaomi redmi note 5 pro because is already supported by lineage os, when I buy it I'll flash lineage os so i can use it without google...but thank you!

It sounds like a fairy-tale chime notifying you when you have a new Yahoo IM. My Wife loves this chime and wants to assign it to everything :)

Where do I find it or how do I extract it?

Thanks!

Christopher
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] schulzj:
I'm not sure the exact sound you speak of, but you can go into Settings. . .Sounds and notifications .. .then under the event pull down find the application and it should tell you what sound it's playing. You can assign the sound to everything just go back through one by one. Hope this helps.

Oh and the file itself is in the /windows folder.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] the Dragon:
I've been through the event section and pulled it down but there is no IM event there; curious.

I listened to all the sounds in the dropdown and the IM noise was not one of them; yet this noise IS in the phone somewhere. I just can't find it.

Anyone have a solution to this enigma :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] freekquency:
uhh itd be pretty simple to just record it off your computer. Its the same sound if you load yim on your desktop. The sprite orgasm sound.

careful with that thing, i swear there was no warning that that program uses sms when i used it. 115 texts (few days) later i check my balance on the site.

!!!!!!!! still trying to get out of paying for them. heh
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] callmemoe:
I have this one not from Tilt though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] the Dragon:
I ran into the same problem a couple months ago. I argued the fact that I had unlimited internet access and that I was told IM was part of the package by the representative that initially set-up my plan; the representative mis-informed me about the IM status.

Eventually, at&t waived a considerable amount of the bill and I purchased unlimited texting for our phones in order to avoid future exorbitant bills.

Thanks for the information and chime. I'll try it out later.

Christopher
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] schulzj:
Not to get way off topic with the thread but I've been using IM+ by Shape Service and it actually uses data, not SMS. It's not free but it has a ton of features. It took me about a month to finally be ok with paying $40 for and instant messenger but really couldn't be happier now.

Not sure if iy was deleted because i dont have the email posted or repost but here it is.

Not mine just email him.

I had the note 8 battery case and other accessories now the note 9.

Everything is in exchange of a review in amazon
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Jammol:
Do you have a link to the item itself though?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] grmcrkrs:
Interested in seeing what the product looks like.

Same. This post seems a little sketchy.

I dont understand how hard is it for people to email someone about it and its free lol

Im sharing it and i dont get anything from this just helping out the guy who helped me get the case for a review

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] BigMosley:
I have, going to be working with him to write up a great review. Thanks for this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] wakko69:
Email sent, crossing fingers it is legit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] BigMosley:
It is, I placed my order this morning and I have already been reimbursed the cost.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] entropism:
You don't understand why people would be skeptical about random people giving away free ****, who don't use a company email address, and are given a minimal amount of info?

Go figure...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] wawaweewa:
Like it will cost you a leg or an arm to do it to be skeptical
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] wakko69:
Yeah I have a little problem with email he sent, "We are selling on Amazon.com and we got some free galaxy note 9 accessories available now. will you accept reimbursement after your honest feedback is posted?" Didn't define what they are selling or what they wanted me to buy and "reimbursement" two RED flags.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] grmcrkrs:
I also got an email. While the whole deal might be legit, it didn't feel right to me. As you said, it's not a company email address, and the wording was odd. He asked that I promise to write a review, and send my amazon link to my reviews. That's not abnormal, but like I said, it didn't make me feel safe, and I try to avoid scams whenever possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] BigMosley:
It's not a scam, it's a small company trying to boost their reviews. I've had the Battery case for over a week and I'm about to review another item from them shortly, been reimbursed the money for everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Jammol:
Trying to boost their reviews? Okay.

Well please ensure that your review 100% honest because if it isn't, it's just misleading people to buy something that is actually not worth the money.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] BigMosley:
Of course. The case is exactly the same case ZeroLemon sells, just not branded with ZeroLemon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Philip:
I followed up on this - unfortunately it didn't work out for me as I'm in the UK, and the only way to buy the case is on amazon.com, who won't ship it to the UK.

The emails I received from Jayson were helpful and timely, and he never asked for anything other than an "honest review".
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Jammol:
I wish they would have done the fingerprint sensor a better access setup instead of just a giant cut out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] BigMosley:
Works for me, or use your face or Irises to unlock your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
I'm not against this but "boosting" reviews via freebies, isn't there a certain word for that ?

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] speedyjay:
Hey guys!

I hope you're all well?

I've run in to an issue fellas and I need your help.

I'm by far no stranger to rooting and flashing ROMs but this particular issue has got me puzzled.

I know the OP6 has 2 slots (A and B) this setup is massively confusing.

Whenever I try to flash LOS or any other AOSP ROM, I always get stuck in a bootloop.

I follow the directions exactly as instructed yet nothing will work.

Can someone advise?

Cheers guys!

Speedy.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Nestor0rtiz1:
I hope you understand me, I do not speak English I translate everything with Google translator.

Unlock the bootloader and I made it root. but I want to have the device in factory state "flash" and re-block the bootloader but it does not work with the MIFlash tool and the process only lasts a second without doing any effect.

I hope you can help me I'm not very expert in this.

the rom that you download is the last one on the page with the August patch (jasmine_global_images_V9.6.10.0.ODIMIFE_20180731.0000.00_8.1_2aeda83301.tgz)

I have already tried several fastboot rom and with all it is the same. I already installed all the drivers, I thought the problem was the tool my flash but manually doing the installation running the .bat is also the same does nothing.

I just want to have the device in factory state with the bootloader blocked and all official, I hope please help me thank you very much

the device is the xiaomi mi a2, version 4-64

PD: I'm new to the community and I speak Spanish.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Daha3ker:
Welcome to the community. I created a tool that may help. The .bat file included in the larger download has a revert to stock option. It will flash everything stock. After which you will need to lock the bootloader.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] gioeletempestini:
I get "Flash bluetooth_a error" by trying to flash the stock firmware on MiFlash tool... What should I do? Could it be because I haven't typed "Fastboot flashing unlock_critical" when I unlocked the bootloader? (I had just typed "Fastboot oem unlock") If you think so I'll type this in adb prompt and then try again to flash the stock firmware
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] alascayoung:
bootloader critico

eu falo portugues entao traduzam, a soluçao que eu achei para esse tipo de problema e o desbloqueio do bootloader em modo critico, basta executar o comando "fastboot flashing unlock_critical.l" e apos isso executar a ferramente de flash normalmente

Screen is very good. Very sensitive thou, even after update fix. It's very bright and has good colours.

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KellyKaotic:
Spending days looking for a root solution for the cricket variation of the grand prime, I couldn’t find anything that actually worked to root these old phones, so after lots of trial and error I found a way to successfully root these things. This method works stable on 5.1.1 and I would assume it works for older versions as well but I cannot test that myself as there is no way to downgrade from lollipop. The root issue we have had for years with these things is the locked boot loader with Knox, but if you follow this, you will gain full root access safely and still have stock firmware, the only downside is if you restart your phone or it crashes you have to do the last step again(I’m trying to find a way to prevent this unroot). Thanks goes to toxinburn for the unlock file discovery and firmware files for KitKat and lollipop

Step 1: as always when it comes to rooting make a backup. That is easily done with kies or smart switch, both official Samsung software.

Step 2: download and use this apk to unlock bootloader-

Https://xdaforums.com/grand-prime/general/sm-g530az-bootloader-unlock-t3305738

Step 4: normal reboot phone to save unlock

Step 5: download Odin, and in this link download the correct firmware for your phone-

Https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BxcLJPerSHJ_ZDJrNV9fRVBSdU0

Step 6: reboot phone into download mode by holding power+volume down+home, once it restarts release power button and keep holding volume down+home until download screen appears.

Step 7: open odin and connect your phone to your pc

Step 8: flash your phone via Odin with the rom file you downloaded in step 5, once that finishes and your phone reboots, unplug your phone from pc

Step 9: set your phone back up normally or use Samsung smart switch to restore your settings

Step 10: download KingoRoot on pc, and activate developer options on your phone to allow debugging. (If your not sure how to do this, the KingoRoot program will show you how once you connect your phone)

Step 11: connect your phone to your pc again and using KingoRoot, root your phone and enjoy full root access and SuperSU with the stability of stock rom.

[G2 Original Android Development] qwertyu123:
We didn't comment it, although the rom works well, it might not be for daily use (or maybe yes!). It is quite untested and many Lineage features are still missing.

You can dirty flash if you want to try, but as usual a clean flash is recommended. So take your own safety measures before flashing. Backup, etc...
