[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] giovaorama:
Since Huawei does not "want" to update my mediapad with ota (I'm stucked to version 8.0.0.161 (june security patch) while in HFF three new release are available (181, 183 and 186 but just the first is approved for my version), I like to know if a manual update is a safe procedure.

If I understand well it should be enough to download the OTA (or maybe the full ota is better?), uncompress under the dload folder and reboot.

Is this true?

How high is the possibility of a brick?

Are the ota downloadable from hff really safe?

Thanks in advance.

I'm getting this annoying notification a few times a day that a certain app is overloading the CPU (Device Maintenance). I've looked around, and I cannot seem to figure out a way to shut this off. I'm sure this is because the layout of the settings menus differ from phone to phone, and even carrier to carrier, sometimes. I'm on the T-mobile Galaxy Note 9.

Can someone explain to me how to disable this from coming back, even if I reboot? Thank you.

You can alter the home screen to display "widgets" you want.

[Honor Note 10 Questions & Answers] zed011:
Does anyone know? There is a big difference especially if the screen is bigger and the resolution is not quad HD. If you do not know how to tell them apart, just google pentile vs rgb

https://www.google.ca/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enCA789CA789&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=nX3HW_zyMuTH0PEPqb-uyAE&q=pentile+vs+rgb&oq=pentile+vs+rgb&gs_l=img.3..0j0i7i30k1.99779.100357.0.100738.2.2.0.0.0.0.68.109.2.2.0....0...1c.1.64.img..0.2.108....0.NDFhIw5uI5c

EDIT: Answer found, Pentile display for Honor Note 10
[Honor Note 10 Questions & Answers] zed011:
Debatable. This is a big screen phone not the typical 5.5 inch ones back in the day. I still want to know if this is rgb or not. I have a mi max 3 and the screen is pretty good
[Honor Note 10 Questions & Answers] ivanox1972:
It is almost sure pen tile. As I know, only tab s and tab s2 hase pure rgb matrix... I had and have both tabs. And had at least 15 different phones, also flagships between them,wirh pentile

Picture quality is night and day... You can never get that accuracy of colors in pen tile.
[Honor Note 10 Questions & Answers] zed011:
Everyone knows that from the spec sheet. I'm talking about the subpixel arrangement. RGB vs pentile diamond layout. It makes a difference on a big display

[Honor Note 10 Questions & Answers] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

Me, I have the device for a few hours, and I must say that I find the display really good.

I even tried to downgrade it to lower resolution and it still looks good with no real difference in sharpness. Now, I am almost 50 years old and so maybe my eyes are fooling me... so don't trust this too much. But I'm pretty sure that for "daily use" it is more the enough.

There's one thing that bothers me though : it is that slightly blueish tint it's getting when viewed at about 20°C vision angle. Not as bad as on earlier LG displays, but still there. Noticeable only on white backgrounds :( It's common "disease" for OLED/AMOLED displays.

Anyways, how can I say it's pentile or RGB ? The link provided explains the difference but doesn't say how to check does it ?

Regards.
[Honor Note 10 Questions & Answers] zed011:
It's easy to tell by experience at looking at screens especially on a big screen even on a 5.5 inch screen I can tell the difference/ Oneplus owners have complained about their displays being not as sharp too because they use 1080p pentile displays now imagine this on an even bigger screen like the Honor Note10, 8X and 20X.

The one method to use is to drop bits of water on a screen displaying text and use a magnifying glass then you can examine the subpixel arrangement to determine if it's pentile or rgb. Smaller drops of water magnify the pixel more and largers drops magnify less

This is example is a RG/BW LCD which is also blurry. Notice how this display has the blue in a diamond pattern similar to a Pentile layout. This makes text and edges of icons and pictures and finer detail look blurry.

http://i.imgur.com/yS4djZz.jpg

A traditional RGB LCD has all the colors in a straight line

https://www.phonescoop.com/img/g/489_9cdf1622caf8656bee9d377123e7817f.jpg

I'm fine with pentile on a 2560x1440 or higher display but not on anything lower as it's noticeable

These are pictures of my mi max 3 6.9 inch lcd display. Rgb layout, red blue green all in a straight vertical line. One of the reasons why I picked the max 3 over the note 10 was the display sharpness and accurate color reproduction.

1. What is New Friends Connect?

- New Friends Connect is an Android Application that lets you connect with anyone that has NFC Hardware (Near field communication) on the device.

2. How do we connect?

- Easy. Just make sure both your and your new friend's NFCs are on and touch your phones to exchange contacts.

3. What kind of contacts can we exchange?

- Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google Plus, Skype, Viber, WhatsApp and Mobile phone number. More will be included in the future.

4. Do I have to do anything besides installing the application?

- Yes. The only thing that a new user needs to do is to type in the username of the social media that the user will share.

5. How do I find my username?

- Just click on the help link under the input field to get help, or just consult with the documentation of the specific social media or application.

6. What if the person I want to connect with does not have the NFC app?

- The application has the "One-way transmission" option, which will let you share a URL tag with the other person's phone. After that it is just a matter of clicking on the link. This method can only share Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Google Plus details.

7. What are the steps to send my details to another person's phone?

- 1. Make sure both phones have NFC. (Near Field Communication hardware)

- 2. Open the app and if your details are set, just turn on the switches on the details you would like to share and touch the two phones.

- 3a. If the other person has the New Friends app, he/she will be able to receive and view all the details you share simultaneously.

- 3b. If the other person does not have the New Friends app, he/she will be able to receive and view only one tag at a time.

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] nowell29:
This is likely an obvious answer to some or many, but I have not been able to find a clear answer myself. Will VZ keep the bootloader locked, and thus no easy way for ROM development or deployment on their provided P3's? Or is there a light at the end of this tunnel?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Fear_The_Fluff:
I think until people start getting their phones we wont have an answer. I'm thinking the Verizon P3 may come locked. I think people said in the past the ones coming from google are unlocked until activated (I'm not fully sure on that as I am a soon to be first time pixel owner). So getting the phone rooted first maybe ideal. Once a root is made of course ;)

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] chrisjennings:
I was told by a Google Support Chat Person (reliable source I know, haha) that the bootloader would be unlockable on the carrier unlocked versions purchased from the Google Store. She said that the Verizon versions would not be bootloader unlockable. I've pre-ordered an unlocked version, but I use Verizon as a carrier. There are very few developer-friendly options out there for VZW users (I'm upgrading from an Axon 7 running a custom ROM). That Android Police article makes me a bit nervous, but I'll wait until the phone gets into more developer hands to see how difficult it will be to mod. I was planning on unlocking the bootloader first thing, I can give it a try when it arrives tomorrow.

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

You don't have to worry unless you purchase through Verizon. My job purchased mine so I didn't really have a say, I'm just happy to get a pixel3. If you buy it through any other retailer, it will be unlockable. Google phones always have been.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] nowell29:
What frustrates me is how "the man" locks down open source! The whole point of Android was to be able to develop it! Frankly, most of the daily used features were developed first in the community of ROM baking. To limit them is to turn us all into iphone users. It was 'sky's the limit' at first. I had me the original Google Developer G1. I watched those custom roms turn from JesusFreak to Cyanogenmod to Cyanogen as a company. Locking down a phone should simply come with a warning. VZW and others only have to say, if you break this you buy it, and we won't support you. It's how the open source world works! Works fine for Cannonical and Redhat among others. Open source is how Amazon AWS and Google GCP stay alive! Even MS is getting on board with their linux offerings and inclusions now.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Here we go again, same story.. same ending. VZW will lock the bootloader, why can't we just put this to bed? You want development then you know what to buy it's as simple as that. To claim they are the "man" holding you in captivity is disingenuous. They have a business model and you just don't fit into it. Leave it at that. They don't care what you think or how many posts you put up. They care that they can go to a corporate network admin and sell them 10,000 phones because they can't be rooted or bl unlocked. Attacks, viruses, and the overall ubiquitous use of cell phones is a long way from Cyanogen days. It's not about the warranty or support. It's about sales, period.

It does look like the Google version is bl unlockable but it's certainly preventing programs from running at this point. They need a kernel to bypass the check which should come pretty soon.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] chrisjennings:
I had this issue too. First I had to turn on USB debugging. Then I closed out of settings and went back in and saw that it wasn't greyed out anymore. I was concerned at first too, but then was able to unlock the bootloader no problem.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] bunklung:
I side effect of the this two versions of one phone is that when you RMA these or buy used you might get the wrong version. I have RMA's right through Google with my Google purchased phone and it would not unlock because they are all one model to Google. It's pretty said.

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/73217322
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Yeah I know about that. Very frustrating for those that wish to bl unlock. I'm not in that category any longer although I'm thinking of unlocking my 5X now that I have this and a Pixel 2 as a backup. Those were the days. flashing unlock and done.
