[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
Normally I'd say, "It's a Pixel device. Purchase it unlocked from Google and you'll definitely be able to root it."

However, the announcement of that "Titan Security Chip" is giving me some serious pause. Especially since that chip apparently verifies system integrity. This could be a lot of 'noise' for nothing, or it could be a very serious road block for rooting this device.

I've got an H870DS and notice that the security update is Jul-18. Is there no later one? I've checked for an update but the phone is telling me none is available. Seems odd.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] nchc:
No, quite the opposite, it would be odd if LG started to release regular updates. Security updates are overrated, software enhancements are more beneficial. Users are the biggest security risk, make sensible decisions with the apps you use, sites accessed, downloads etc and you'll be fine 99% of the time.

I got an update in August with the August 2018 security patch. Try to use LG Bridge to update your phone if OTA updates don't appear. The Hong Kong version of the V20 got the update with the September security patch, so I expect more updates for the G6 shortly.

So, I have LG k8 (2017), and everytime I reboot, it get's stuck after the Lg welcome logo, and it says "Optimising apps 1 of 2..."

Is there another way other than factory resetting.

[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] romssnes:
Hello, I have a g5 xt1672 bike, and I did the unfortunate thing of updating the android with the unlocked bootloader, now it does not start anymore.

I've seen many topics about flashblank, but every time I try to start the error procedure. apparently, the flashblank varies from model to model right? Can anyone tell me if there is the flashblank xt1672?

I also saw that to make a flashblank it is necessary that the motorola makes some files available right? Anyone know if they have already made it available or if they already have a flashblank for the model in question?
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
There are no blankflash files for this device

The only known free method (unless you own a JTAG) is to write a mmcblk0 image file to sdcard and boot into the bootloader from that

[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Chekm8Qc:
So having an unlocked bootloader prevents you from going through an ota? I thought it didn't really matter..
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
Doesn't make any difference as long as your system is totally unmodified and the ota is for your device
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] romssnes:
ah sorry I had forgotten to speak, I had put the recovery of twrp. Does this have anything to do with it, since I modified the original recovery?
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] romssnes:
your process with mmcblk0 has a chance of not working ?, because at the moment I do not have a 32GB micro SD card, and they can be a bit expensive.

if not ask too much, could you tell me a percentage of success?
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
Yes - you must have a totally unmodified system

Even if you put stock recovery back just by flashing twrp you have modified your system & you would need to flash stock firmware via fastboot

---------- Post added at 07:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 AM ----------

Buy a 64gb card

They are not expensive - they are the cheapest they have ever been

A decent one is around £10 UK pounds
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] romssnes:
I was reading your topic and some answers, and I saw that a guy was offering a loader.img file, a size much lighter than mmcblk0, but it is from xt1676, I searched for web and I saw that xt1676 is a Cedric international, already the xt1672 is the cedric 'BRA', and they have a difference in storage capacity, taking into consideration that the file loader.img serves to boot the cellphone, it can work right ?, or am I wrong?
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
It didn't work - think I proved that file to be a fake and was for the Moto g4 or it was a different idea we were working on for the g5

Either way the only known solution other than a JTAG is the mmcblk0 method

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 4166121:
Questions I need answered if I go that route:

Will I get charged? I don't want to be charged for a defective phone. And what will I use for a phone in the mean time? How long does a repair usually take? Is my phone still gonna be ip68 certified after they open the phone? They won't factory reset my phone will they? I don't want to lose everything I have on the phone from a factory reset. At least if they gave me a new phone I can smart switch.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] raul6:
No charge of course if camera is faulty as result of manufacturing defect, then at a guess at least a week possibly longer before returning; another guess that the ip68 could be negatively affected; doubt it requires factory reset but having backup always recommended; not impossible but unlikely a new phone would be sent. That said, if you can bear the camera being the way it is then all is well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Send it to Samsung directly for repair or stop by at one of their youbreakifix affiliated repair centers .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] holywhitebread:
My Note 9 did the exact same thing. Sent to Samsung last Monday and they replaced the camera. It is replaced under warranty. Just make sure you have a backup phone because they are slow and offer no other option to prevent you from being phone-less.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
If you have a UBreakIFix store near you, go there! They use the same equipment as Samsung, have Samsung OEM parts, and it will still be IP68 when they repair it. Depending on the issue, it usually only takes them an hour or so. And since they are a Samsung official partner, it won't affect your warranty. My local store here is AWESOME. They fixed my son's Pixel XL for free since they are a Google partner as well. Highly, highly recommend.

Install apps over ADB

Install apks on any Android device running any Android version over ADB!​

Hi all,

From a long time i was fiddling around with a problem of installing/downloading apps after installing a new ROM.

Thus i came up with an idea of a Batch File to install all of your apks from your system

to your phone in a few tips and taps. Hah! Found my solution :) .

How does it look?

To see some screenshots, please click below.

[IMG="Successful"]https://image.ibb.co/eJ1BM9/shot.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="Cancel"]https://image.ibb.co/jYq5g9/shott.jpg[/IMG]​

Tested on

The script had been tested on Nexus 5x, Nexus 5, Moto G4 but should work on any android device.

Downloads

Google Drive - Here is the link to Drive.

Link Below - You can also find the file below.

Installation instructions

Prerequisites

1. Platform Tools for Windows (ADB),

2. APK files,

3. Target phone connected to PC and

4. A cup of COFFEE or TEA as you like it. :)

Process

1. Download it from the attachments below or from the drive link above or here.

2. Copy the file to the ADB folder.

3. Execute the file.

4. You can either place your apps in "D:\Apps" folder. (Sllloooowwwww.....) :eek:

OR​

Change the folder location in batch file itself. (Requires some Coding Skills) :confused:

OR​

Batch file will ask you to change the location, if required. (Easy Installation, Pick Me!) :cool:

Troubleshooting

I don't think it's needed. But even then if you get any problem do write. I'll be happy to resolve it.

Enjoy, and also don't forget to write anything ;) (Good, Bad or Thanks etc.)!

thank you so much if works like a charm!

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] dropsarma1:
I was reading about the MI A2's cpu and I've found that it supports dual camera up to 16mp and at the same time this phone has 20mp rear camera. Is that possible due to the pixel binning?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] ilgreco112:
dual 16 = 32

20 + 12 = 32
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] dropsarma1:
This is wrong hypothesis. If max sum of 32mp was supported by the CPU, then how Samsung Galaxy A8 Star(with sdm660) has a rear dual camera (16+24=40):confused:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Benjamin_L:
This says 25MP https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon-660-mobile-platform.

I think it's 12 and the binned 5 which both are under 16. It's also currently only used for portrait mode only. So we will see if future versions will support this for normal pics
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] ilgreco112:
Up to 25 camera and up to 16 for the second one, so Max is 25+16, Galaxy A8 star is 24+16, and A2 is 20+12
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] creeve4:
Samsung or LG?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
I think it's P-OLED for both 3 & 3 XL this time, so has to be LG.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] GldRush98:
It's LG for both PIxel 3's.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
Just to add some clarification, Samsung displays are technically P-OLED as well.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
Not all of them - Samsung uses Plastic substrate to achieve curvature on their panels but then Samsung uses the marketing term AMOLED for their curved/non-curved displays.

However, LG uses the term P-OLED for their plastic used OLED panels to differentiate from other OLED panels.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
It's all marketing terms. On LG's "P-OLED" the "P" stands for plastic which is a reference to the material used for the substrate. Samsung also uses a plastic substrate. It has to to have the curved edges. So really both LG and Samsung use "P"-OLED since they both have a plastic substrate.

The "AM" in AMOLED stands for "active matrix" which is reference to the method used to apply voltage to each pixel. The alternative would be a passive matrix. Passive matrix based displays have much slower response times and are much less power efficient. Even more important than that passive matrix requires a higher voltage to work which makes them bad(maybe impossible?) for modern smartphones. As far as I know very few, if any, display makers use passive matrix at all anymore. The point is all phones you see today are using an active matrix.

So from a purely technical standpoint both Samsung and LG use PAMOLED screens. That is to say active matrix on a plastic substrate.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
That's some good wiki reads. I'm keeping the "technical aspects" aside to keep it relevant to the thread.

..

To clarify, Samsung never uses the term "P-OLED"(marketing term) for their screens even when plastic substrate( P-OLED) is used to acheive curves and edges where nececcary.

When it's manufactured by Samsung, the "Marketing" term used by them is AMOLED(marketing) and for LG it's P-OLED or POLED(marketing).

Hence, when you see the marketing terms "P-OLED" or "POLED" it redirects to the manufacturer LG and when it's AMOLED, it redirects to Samsung.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
Right. That's what I said. Just marketing terms. Very misleading since it gives the impression that they are different technologies which isn't the case.

You're not the first user to report this issue. You can search the forums(through Google to help overcome the language barrier) or you can go to the rom section of the forum and flash the stock firmware. You can probably just flash the boot.img file to prevent any data loss. If there is a recovery.img flash that as well.

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentOrange96:
Looking at the Pixel Slate, it seems to me like it's what the Pixel C should have been. The Pixel C seems to have been released as a Surface Pro competitor. However, two key strengths of the Surface Pro were the desktop operating system and pen support. These are both things the Pixel C doesn't have. The Pixel Slate, by contrast, rocks an x86 processor and Chrome OS with Linux app support. As well, it is compatible with the Chromebook Pen. It seems Google has, shockingly, learned something from their mistakes on the Pixel C. Apple could take a hint from this with their iPad Pro, per the OS.

The one area I see as not as good is the keyboard. While backlighting is nice, I feel the hinge design on the Pixel C was absolute gold! I realize they needed room for the touchpad, but the design of the Pixel Slate's keyboard just seems so lame in comparison. It's the usual folding cover trick. If I can't stick my tablet to a fridge, then what's the point?

For me personally, I got my Pixel C knowing full well of its shortcomings. I never intended to use it like a Surface Pro, but instead wanted something to use more like I used to my Nexus 10. I specifically wanted an Android tablet, and for that the Pixel C has been amazing! So I really have no regrets there. But ever since the Pixel C came out, I always remember thinking that, for what it's supposed to be, it really missed the mark. It's cool to see that Google has taken a lesson from that. Had the Pixel Slate come out when the Pixel C did, I think it'd've done really well. Nowadays, we'll have to see. Onenote for Android still is lacking some features. (Although a working equation editor exists, you just can't insert new equations.) That's still a major strength for both the iPad Pro and the Surface Pro.

it is the first tablet that has several processor options. the i7 is ~$1,800. welcome to the really big leagues. do ipads even get to that price point? how does the most expensive ipad compare to the most expensive slate? this crap is for millionaires and i'm not one of them. i noticed google is pushing payment plans to supposedly allow people who can't pay full price up front to go into debt to own one. how nice. google is dead as far as offering affordable devices. and this is even before we learn about what the problems are. i would be willing to bet that there will be issues on some models that are not on others. maybe the 600 buck one turns out to be a real pain the the ass while the $1,800 i7 runs rather well. socio-economic class distinctions across one device. i remember when the pixel c came they had to offer 200 or 300 buck discounts to get more devs to buy in so there would be apps built for it. maybe early next year after all the initial bumblefrack gets known they start offering the cheap model for 400 bucks or less and the i7 for 1100. once again turning the early bird adopters into early bird suckers. whatever, i learned back in the pixel c days to wait for the 2nd or 3rd revision of the device so the early bugs are worked out and hopefully a lower discounted price. but anyone who wants to jump right in be my guest because we all end up learning from your mistake.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tevil:
honestly chrome OS is prety much garbage. Im a long time android user, own a pixel c. My girl got me the slate for an xmas gift, I got her the new ipad pro 12". I thought chrome OS was just a learning curve thing but it is just complete trash. most of the apps for android DONT work right, regardless what google claims, the soft typing on this thing is the worst I have ever used on ANYTHING. Its constantly correcting words wrong, it corrects words that dont need to be corrected because it just feels like it and when YOU correct the word it just ignores you and does whatever it wants. The swyping is AWFUL. 90% of the time it never makes a space between the words, it doesnt know what youre swyping and just types what it wants. Its insert function is horrid. You realize it made a mistake so you go back to delete something a few words back and it just gives you the hardest time. I want to get around to making a video for it but I dont want my girl to feel bad watching me trash this thing. I try to use it and enjoy it when were surfing in bed but she cant help but see me getting frustrated.

If I could remove chrome OS and just put android in it, I would be SO happy.
