there is already a thread related to this Huawei P20 Pro Sim Free - CLT-L09 (C782) - Slow at receiving updates (still on 110)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shipmate:
My phone is sim locked to EE in UK clt09 (c782).

EE are very slow at updates. Is it EE or Huawei who update phone? No matter who they're still slow updated. Ive only just got 133.

Do the SIM free versions get faster updates? or not?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nigelm77:
I'm in the UK with the same model but carrier unlocked and I got the 133 update around the middle of September, so EE could be holding it back.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
Updates are released in batches and next release you could be waiting while others get the update before you

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

The C432 versions will get updates quicker and regular, the C782 models are hit and miss when u will get but look to be a minimum of every three months

Hello everyone maybe you guys can help. I opened up a small business and you rely heavily on push to talk I was told and no taste would be one of those phones. I use it extensively for work I love it fortunately it doesn't work with push to talk the S8 does however. is there a way or an app that I can trick the AT&T push to talk into thinking that my phone is in S8. I know this was possible years ago and I'm just not familiar with any of the new stuff. Thank you very much.

[Xiaomi Mi Note Pro] Humblebee1965:
Hello,

My phone was very slow, so I decided to put it back to the default settings. So I did it. Miui7 starts, and asks for the language, network and terms and conditions. So far so good. Then it asks for SIM card and after that it says Unfortunately, com.android.provision has stopped. And it doesn't go further. Now I want to begin again from scratch with a new ROM. How do I do that. Do I have to unloch the phone, what is the best ROM and what sort of programms do I use for this. I haven't done this before, so I begin with the beginning. I already made a copy of the phone by using windows explorer.

I see a lot of stories, but I would like the hole story from begin to end.

Regards, Humblebee

[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] hypixus:
Xiaomi decided to make a trick on us, and I think that might be even called a sort of scam - yet, my accusations may seem without proper argumentation quite invalid, so let's begin.

I bought this phone in a 6/128 version a month ago, as a successor to my previous experience with Xiaomi devices - The Redmi note 4(Mido). Immediately after unpacking it and installing latest OTA updates I ran AnTuTu benchmark in order to ensure myself whether it's a good upgrade or not(deciding factor was processor - whopping 2.35 GHz and GPU should be at least 1.5x as good as Snapdragon 625 had to offer). Average scores varied around 160k, while my device was... 95k. I didn't believe it's this bad, so I ran a few highly demanding titles(such as PUBG) and my fears rendered to be true. Everything was worse than my old Mido, with price tag twice as high! Not to even mention that battery life was sensibly worse, though capacity is almost identical.

This triggered the first red flag.

I made hard reset, and AnTuTu rose to 130k. I still didn't accept that state of matter, so I basically unlocked it, flashed TWRP and LineageOS. Results were... Non-existent. Yet, I decided to use it for some time because of just my pure love to LOS.

Things started getting... BAD. My phone started to literally bake itself(80°C avg) when screen was unlocked, causing thermal throttling which only made performance worse.

As soon as MIUI 10 came up I decided to say "f*** it" and return the phone to original state. I flashed the stock ROM, overwrote TWRP and started using it again.

I thought this update is a solution to all of my problems, but general ****ty performance seemed to happen each time the charger was connected instead. Google Pay didn't work as well because by device was "rooted", so I installed TWRP with Magisk just to make it work and terrible truth came to my eyes.

This update basically CLOCKED DOWN THE CPU.

On battery, all cores were underclocked to Snapdragon 820 clocks(2.35->2.15;2.1->1.6GHz) while connecting to charge makes all cores go at 1132 MHz, and GPU to 132 MHz - that's slower than Snapdragon 400!

Luckily, the performance on battery can be changed with root, but on charger - it's stuck on 1.1GHz.

Why do I write it all here?

I want to ask you guys if my data is the same as yours, and to ask bigger brains for a possible way to take control over clock when charging. This is frustrating to face performance throttling in such way - Is Xiaomi copying from Apple even their battery policy? I bought this phone only because of the CPU. :rolleyes:

Thanks for any advice :angel:
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] The_real_hati:
You can always try a custom kernel that has all the tools to tweak your phone's performance.

I found that for my own use MIUI 10 is better than any other custom rom at the moment, including Oreo based examples, but that's just me and how I use the phone. I have it for a year now (4/64 international version) and still happy with it. Couldn't care less about the benchmark scores as long as my experience is lag free without overheating and enough battery life to get me through a day and a bit.

I found that occasionally I need to reboot it just to "reset" the OS and get battery performance where it should be.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] cobben:
I'm running Xiaomi.eu weekly 8.9.20 MIUI 10 Android 8.0 with no problems on the international version 6/128.

Looking at the cpu cores in AIDA64 there seems to be no problems, last I checked with antutu (several versions back) it was fine.

You should be thankfull for thermal throttelling, when charging for example.

I do not recommend quickcharging on any phone.

The Mi Note 2 does not have well implemented cooling apparently, you can damage the motherboard if running too hot for too long.

There is a quite detailed informative thread on the MIUI forum about this:

http://en.miui.com/thread-2541123-1-1.html

So perhaps not the best choice for extreme gaming, otherwise fine.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] Shot-Gun:
Too right mate.

After firmware update, this device became a ****ty one.

I've been using Lineage with 8.5.24 firmware and it was "OK". My old Zuk Z2 was still better (faster and better battery life).

Now, with 9.xx firmware, this Mi Note 2 is pure garbage.

I'm waiting for a stable Lineage 16 to decide if I keep this device or buy another one.

One thing is sure: I'll never buy any Xiaomi devices again.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] piway:
Later my device very similiar problem with you, then i update to miui 10 global stable, with twrp and magisk applied and still have problem when intense playing game becoming hot above 60 degrees. I tweak with kernel aduitor try to lock each core big.LITTLE max at 1500 mhz and delete thermal throttling in system/vendor/etc then my device perform smooth and acceptable temp with longer battery.

Im not into benchmarking with antutu just play with PUBG mobile I get high and stable fps with no hot temperature which is actually good.

Hi. My PDA connector is broken, so I cannot install an app from the PC. I'm thinking of "extracting" files from a .exe setup file and turn it into a .cab file so I can place it in my MMC and install it from the phone. Is this possible?

Thanks.
[General Topics] Rudegar:
many installs are selfextracting zips and renaming it from .exe to zip make it possible to

many installs also put the cabs in a dir on the pc so one can do a search for it
[General Topics] jo_iii:
I'm going to try that. Thanks mate!
[General Topics] jamesbest77:
The setup.exe installer will copy the cab file to a directory in

C:\Windows\WindowsMobile

or to the installation directory, usually:

C:\Program Files\<name-of-program-installed>

Copy the appropriate cab file to your MMC card.

Alternatively, use a program like UniExtract which will extract files from installshield installers and similar programs.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Sardonik:
Looking for a Note 9 for my wife and there are two attractive offers out there today. T-Mobile has the 128gb for $870 and Amazon is selling the 128gb, factory unlocked, along with the wireless charger and Bluetooth earbuds, for $929. We don't really need the earbuds, but the charger would be useful, so these are fairly equivalent offers to us.

We're currently on T-Mobile, but if the band 71 rollout here in December doesn't fix our signal reception inside buildings, we're likely heading to AT&T.

So, I may need to switch the phone to a new carrier early next year. That would seem to indicate that the carrier unlocked version is the safe bet, but I know Samsung has a bad rep when it comes to updates to firmware for the unlocked phones.

If I go with the T-Mobile version, can it later be flashed with AT&T firmware to get all the bells and whistles (VoLTE, visual voicemail etc)? Are there any other important issues I might be overlooking with regards to carrier vs unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
They are the same device hardware wise. The unlocked U1 models tend to maintain their value better for some reason, so that's something to take into consideration. Right now, you CAN flash a different carrier's firmware on the carrier or unlocked version. If you buy the T-Mo version, you may have to flash the U1 firmware, and then flash the ATT firmware.

Since I haven't received my Note 9, yet, and I don't have ATT, I can't confirm this, but with the Note 8, people who flashed ATT firmware on non-ATT Note 8s had issues getting WiFi calling to work and they didn't receive OTA updates. You might keep that in mind and do some research.

If it were me, I'd snag that $929 bundle in a heartbeat.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Sardonik:
That's all good to hear. It's a shame AT&T makes things so difficult, but hopefully tmo's band 71 rollout fixes our reception issues and we never need to go there.

I did just that an hour or so ago. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] entropism:
So take this with a grain of salt: You're able to use an AT&T branded device (I did it with an S9+, now with a Note 9), and flash that with the unlocked or t-mobile firmware, and everything will work beautifully.

HOWEVER, I hear AT&T uses an IMEI whitelist for their VoLTE, which is ridiculously dumb, but MAY keep you from using VoLTE even after you flash AT&T firmware to a non-AT&T device.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tedsorvino:
Hi all.

I recently was given an old Nexus 7 . It seems that it charges properly when it's powered down. The screen shows a white battery charging. Then after 7-8 hours of charging (with a wall charger) I power it up. After 20 secs on the initial screen (where I chose language and wi fi network) it asks to connect the power charger (which is connected already), the battery sign on the top corner is red and finally it shuts down abruptly.

Should I leave it for a longer time (i don't remove it from the charger but nothing really changes) or is my battery dead?

Any other trick?

ps. i think it was a battery clip issue, along with a totally empty battery.....10 hours of wall charging + a hard pushing of the clip and the issue disappeared

Using the pogo port for charging will eliminate a bad usb port being issue. It would not be a surprise if the battery is bad especially if it is the original.

I use Apex because I prefer a minimalist shell. It is one of the first things I load on to a new phone. I was so glad to come back to that after spending a (horrible) year on an iPhone 8+.

Evie launcher over Holo, Nova and basic oneplus launcher

Try the Evie launcher, if you are like me and want to have most important items on the main home page.

in comparison to the oneplus launcher, you can remove the bottom row icons, which take too much space.

I'd rather have a newsfeed in the bottom to stay up to date, above that a smaller app drawer with more apps to reach quicker with my thumb, and above an agenda and todo widget, with on top time and weather.

And in the upper left a moon phase widget, to know when there will be full moon with all the water in our body getting all over the place making most of us feeling funny :)

I am a big fan of Nova Launcher Prime and have always installed this launcher as my first app on my new phone. Since I updated to Pie, no matter what scrolling/App animation I select in Nova, it's not smooth. What I mean is switching/closing the apps are "jittery" and/or bouncy. I have tried switching to different animation speeds in Developer option. The only setting that gives me acceptable animation is at 1.5X which I have never have to use to tame the animation. I tried even switching the animations off but no go. Anybody else feeling that switching from one app to another is not smooth. For example, if I open chrome browser and switch to Gmail-the first screen (with chrome) sort of bounce before Gmail opens. I have tried switching to stock animation in Nova as well but no effect on smoothness. I do use gestures only for navigation. and not navigation buttons.
