I had the chance to see all the colors in person and I gotta tell you, they're not properly represented by pictures and renders.

First of all, the "not pink" is really very pink. It's just a lie to say it's not pink. And it's not even an attractive shade of pink. It's a faded pink that looks almost like a dingy white.

Speaking of white, I usually pass on this color, but this white is super crisp. It has a very high quality look and feel to it. Plus, it partially wraps around to the front of the device, giving it a bit of a two tone look from the front that helps it stand out from all the other white phones.

Finally, the black. Well, here's where I was a bit disappointed. I assumed the frosted glass area was the same shade of gray like the pixel 2, but it really has more of a brownish, charcoal look to it. It's very hard to describe, but it looks like a cheap sticker and is quite ugly in person. If you hold it off axis, then the light can make it look a little more gray again, but when viewed directly, it's like a dingy gray that needs to be polished or have its moisture restored like the trim of a car.

Anyway, just thought I would share for those of you who might be in the fence about the colors. I pre-ordered the black, and regret my decision, but since I will be using a skin on it, it's not worth changing.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] DinarQ8:
Thank you for sharing your experience. I just want to talk about the color of "not pink." I think Google did not lie when they said "not pink" because you say " It's a faded pink that looks almost like a dingy white "

big regards
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Lol, well, if I had to use a single color to describe it, then it's pink, and definitely not, "not pink" ?

Today(23-Oct) I recieved a notification for restarting my mobile(Nokia 1 TA-1066) to update, after completion of my update , touchscreen of mobile isn't working,

I did a factory reset & still the problem isn't resolved,

Will it be possible to restore the earlier android version(I mean 8.1 version without today's patch) by SD card update option in bootloader mode(achieved after pressing volume up+power key).

I don't have bootloader unlocked & developer options enabled.

I tried to restore Android by placing image from https://xdaforums.com/nokia-1/development/rom-ta-1060-stock-oreo-8-1-t3809578 in SD card & installing update via bootloader mode,I got signature mismatch error.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] 9AVXzGZD:
So I just purchased a OP6, upgraded from the 3t. I didn't want the 6t because I feel the fingerprint sensor might be too new and cause problems, plus I wanted the option to install new ROMs right away. The 3t has a million ROM options, most of which are pretty good. But I can only find a few options for the 6, and the first one I tried soft-bricked me. Right now I'm using XXX, but I'd rather be on a custom ROM. Where are they? Is this an issue with how they changed the partitions? Thanks.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] whizeguy:
Yes there is some difference,read the noob guide to a/b slot and you will get some idea of it .it's not just flash and be done with it. You need the firmware on both a and B slot in order to make custom ROMs work. Also blu_spark TWRP is highly recommended. So you need to read alot before you go headless in and flash the first thing you see.

Lets say you want a pie custom ROM..

Get blu_spark TWRP working

Flash pie full ota from TWRP

Flash TWRP (Blu spark)

Reboot to TWRP

Flash pie full ota again (this will install on 2nd slot... Don't trust people that says it flashes to both ... these people are the ones ****ing everything up lol)

Flash TWRP

Reboot to TWRP

Do the wipe thing that you probably know ..

Flash the ROM

Flash TWRP (still Blu spark)

Reboot to TWRP

Flash gapps

Flash magisk ifnyou want root.. (I flash root AFTER first setup is complete)

Reboot system and set it up

This is pretty much what to do.

Somehow people don't understand this even if they read this 10 times ;) but I have faith in you!

The program updated. free to use ...

Hi all, I write a simple program for Telecom. Engineeger:

1) It can show CellID, Rxlev & LAC

2) base on the database (txt file), show cell site info.

3) GPS function

4) Open log file to record

The Log file format in :

Latidute,Longitude,CurrentTime,CellID,Rxlev

And you need to copy the files 2G.txt,3G.txt & site.txt to the root directory.

the text file at the main program directory ( eg. program file\fieldtestv1.2\).

Note:

Only test at my HTC P3600i phone, not sure for others ...

And sorry for my poor english ..

I have this error on my "Tornado" smartphone (WM 6.1).Why ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] frank8080:
By default, the program will read the files "2G.txt", "3G.txt", "site.txt" & "SiteNo.txt" when startup. so if you missing one of file , it will show the error message. you should create the 4 txt file to the root directory.

If you are a telecom engineer, you may entry the field data to each txt file or just create a empty file, it should be work !!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Golok:
that's a brilliant program.

btw what's the file format for the SiteNo.txt and is there a way to change the frequency of the log file to every minute or 30 seconds.

It would be great if you could do the site info match using the cellid ( CI ) and LAC. due to certain telco would recycle the cellid due to the 65536 limit.

Few more suggestion for the Log file.

1. Log file can be saved to storage card

2. BCCH info from the cells not from the txt file included in the log file

3. Logging frequency i.e 10 secs , 30 secs , 1 minute

4. LAC included in the log file

It is actually 8 to 10 db more when compared with an actual test tools.

bravo it's a good program.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] RandomDude:
Unsure why this is not receiving signal level, but the program does not yet have the functionality to extract BCCH/PSC.

All this program tries to match is the CellID - you need to have the BCCH/PSC in 2G.txt or 3G.txt

I am currently speaking with the developer to see if he wants some assistance to work on this program (i can test) - I am using a Touch Diamond

2) For can't decode the signal level (erwinpiero), I have tested on Dopod 838 Pro, it works ok. But I don't know why it's not work on your 838Pro.

3)For BCCH/PSC decoding, I still try ....

I am a mobile engineer in HongKong and the program just developed for my team use to perform the field measurement of the daily operation, so the most of function just base on the needs of my job.

Hi frank, Top program, well done!! it's running on my TyTN II fine. :)

Could you post up some examples of how the 4 txt files should be built and a "few" examples of the info they should contain.

Also I see you're using RIL ... does your program update the CellID etc whilst the phone is "In Call". I have used CellTrack before and once "in call" the phone never updates apart from the RX level.

Thanks!!

Hi,

I have 2 X96 IPTV boxes and I was trying to update the firmware from 2016 to 2017. I unpacked file "x96-p212-ota-20170428" on the micro SD card.

When I tried to insert it in the box the card does not hold, this is with both boxes. Looks like there is now reader writer adapter in the box just a slot.

My question is: Is it possible to copy the unpacked files to the USB and will the device boot with a toothpick trick. If not, what is another way for updating the FW.

I some how need to update the boxes. Your reply and help would be appreciated.

Hello guys, I need your help! I've an android unit on my car... it has android 8.0 but it haven't sim so, basically it cannot make calls, but it shares internet connection over wi-fi generated by my smartphone (using it as one hotspot).

Everything works fine... navi, music, internet and google assistant too. But I can use it only for search or other little things... but not for calls.

If I say "ok google, make a call to anyname" it answer me "I can't make call yet". Now, I'have my smartphone (samsung s9+) connected via bluetooth.... and when I receive a call, I receive it on my unit.

But onboard there is a sad apps to make calls with my phone that have no search functions, no voice commands.... just entry numbers ... one digit at time or selecting a contact between the entire list.

So if I need to make a call while I am driving, I have to pickup my phone from my suitcase or tap the numbers one digit at time on the screen and it is very dangerous.

I'd like to say to my unit "ok google, make a call to NAME" and it use my bluetooth connection (or wifi) to make my phone dial that name. Is it possible?

P.s. I hate android auto. :)

Thank you

Yes you could.

You need to download MTCD Dialer in your head unit first.

After that, open the Google app (not google assistant)
