US998 Image

Quick question : Does it matter if I am on Oreo S99820b_03_0524 and not the latest version of the image ?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
No, doesn't matter if you're on US998 20B. TWRP will still work.

If you want easy newer firmware, there's a TWRP-flashable US998 20D. You just have to reflash Magisk afterwards.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
thx for hopping in, chazz. looks like you followed his progress (and that this is a special progress => convertion stuff) and know exactly what happened :good:

[MENTION=7654830]Anonshe[/MENTION]: i think this really is an AOSP problem. we can do some logcat session together, hit me a pm for that if you want to. it's not recovery related, *that* i can tell you :)
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] BROKEN1981:
Did you optimize TWRP? On my v20 the temp would reach 36C. Used to hit 40C except I replaced the thermal paste.

I'm just trying to figure out why my v30 gets lower temps.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] seadersn:
no; i thought about playing with frequencies and limit max / raise min, but on our device it's not really needed. cooling is acceptable, so simply full speed ahead :)

k, 6y old son didn't close the thread while playing with my smartphone xD (just received an email about that 0_o)
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] ChazzMatt:
Actually, I didn't know about the vendor partition situation. I was replying because a few hours earlier [MENTION=7838951]zepvalue[/MENTION] in the US998 KDZ thread

mentioned he had downgraded to earlier firmware in order to bootloader unlock

. (You need US998 20A or US998 20B, for the WTF bootloader unlock exploit.) Then here in this thread, he was asking if this TWRP worked with 20B, which he was still using after

his successful bootloader unlock.

I was merely answering yes, but telling him an easy way to update to 20D -- through TWRP. After the bootloader unlock, TWRP installation process many people don't want to immediately jump back into reflashing updated KDZ (like 20E) and basically re-doing a lot of what they just did. ;)
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Emu:
I don't think that TWRP is calculating the size of "data (incl. internal storage)" correctly. The top is with Tipatch which shows the size of data + internal storage properly. The bottom is this TWRP which shows a massive size that can simply not be true. I was too afraid to run backup with that one checked because it wouldn't even fit on my sdcard if I wanted to.

US998U, Android 8.0, latest TWRP + Tipatch
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] me2151:
What the image? thats correct as it uses your entire data partition so 112gb usable is about right for a 128gb phone.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Emu:
I know it's the size of the data partition. But, it's supposed to show the size of used data in the partition only. Not the entire size.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] me2151:
Nope. ANY image backup is the entire size. not size used. size used is a non image backup
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Emu:
Ah! I see what you mean now. Just like System Image. Then the option needs to be specifically labelled "Data Image" not "Data" just like System Image is not System. Just naming it "Data" was the cause of my confusion. But thank you for pointing out the difference. :good:
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] me2151:
You need to talk to the dev of the patch then and not in this thread. as that isnt a feature of this twrp its something you added yourself. normally you dont make a data image.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Emu:
I don't think you understand me. It's the change of this TWRP that is inconsistent. Not Tipatch. Tipatch matches the rest of TWRP perfectly. I really don't understand what's here to debate. Look at the screenshot. If you think there's nothing wrong, I don't know how to explain it to you further. It's very clear that there needs to be a distinction between Data which is TWRP and Data Image which OP added recently. It has absolutely nothing to do with Tipatch. I already disabled Tipatch to double check.

All I am asking for is to rename it Data Image. Why do you have the need to debate this? lmao.

I have attached a Before and After Image to show my simple proposal that makes things clear to every user.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] FHP92:
Hello,

First, I apologize for my bad English, it's not my native language. Second, I'm not an expert like most of you, just a little bit more than a noob.

I have wondered me if it is possible to catch and use Galileo satellites in our smartphone. And after read lots of threads, I believed it was not possible. I have understood that the Snapdragon 625 is compatible with Gallileo but needs some software update to activate the functionality.

Nevertheless, I did some tests with GPS test and GPStest developed by Sean Barbeau. And I can catch some Gallileo satellites. Not only I can see them, but I'm pretty sure that they can be used to locate. But it's very strange because I can only catch few of them and the signal is very low compared to US GPS and Russian Glonass. Even Beidou satellites provide a better signal.

I must precise that I'm located in Paris.

If you want, I can upload some screenshots to show you what I can consider as an evidence of the Galileo functionality.

But why the signal is weaker than other satellite networks? And why Xiaomi specifications only says GPS, Glonass and Beidou?

It seems that only Xiaomi mi 8 is officially compatible with Gallileo...

Not very sure to understand...

Last information, I'm not rooted and I have the last update of Android One

Thanks for your comments and information
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] marcopon:
I see the Galileo sats too, and some times it actually locked on some (or at least, that what GPSTest was showing).

I know there were a lot of threads about not being able to change the notification sound in different apps... but none was talking about FB.

(BTW email notifications work although finding where to change it was a pain in the ...)

It drive me bananas since I see that in the app the push notification sound is the 'Facebook' tune one but on every notification I get the default phone notification sound...

Anyone solved it?

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
Who else ordered the phone and what are the delivery dates?

I ordered the 128GB, White, delivery showing as 02-05 November.

Ordered from Google Store
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonathan-H:
I have the note 9 512gb now, and I am passing on the Pixel 3 XL.

Delivery will be 1st November according to carphonewarehouse, and aside from the notch, the RAM and Storage aren't enough for the price, Pixels struggle with closing apps in the background, and to add to that, I actually think they battery capacities and the phone designs are just deal breakers for me. Added to the fact it has no headphone jack.

I would fill the phone in 6 months and that's unacceptable for £969. EDIT: with the added emphases on the motion shot and the no blinking thing, would probably only take 3 or 4 months to full 128gb.

Google will delete all your full resolution photos when the Pixel 2 years unlimited storage runs out as well so that's not a long term option.

As for trying the Pixel 3 normal, the price jump over the Pixel 2 is too much. IT's even worse value.

I am pretty sad google made such a hash of the Pixel 3 and 3 XL.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] y2grae:
Wow

Pixels struggle to close apps in the background - not on mine

Delivery 1st November - that's uk launch

Headphone jack - usb c converter included

If you can fill 128 gig of storage then you should probably look at some other type of storage

I believe the high rez photos are for life, they wont delete, you just won't be able to add to them after that.

I just got quoted a VERY similar contract price for a new 3XL from EE for what I'm currently paying for my Pixel XL
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
looks like US will be getting them few weeks earlier than us :(
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xxnoelziexx:
Vodafone currently only have prices for 64 storage option.

Been out of contract with them paying £12.50 a month sim only and deal wasn't great the offered me. Will be transferring to EE. Went for the 60GB Max option.

Breakdown cost came out at £30 up front for the device and £54.40 a month 24 month.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] daleski75:
Despite my opinions on the gigantor notch I could not resist the temptation of stock android even though I am coming from a OnePlus 6, ordered the Pixel 3 XL 64gb Black from John Lewis.

What swung me was the fact you can hide the notch which makes it look like a Pixel 2 XL which ain't a bad thing and the Pixel 3 was just a bit too small for my liking.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] y2grae:
EE - 64gb white 8gb data and free BT sports pre-ordered

currently on pixel OG XL 128GB and doubtful if I've EVER been over 30gig on the storage front

my average data has been about 5.5G/month so no need to have much more (wifi at work and at home)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] misiokicio:
Hey lads, i'll be gettin the xl when it's out too, waitin to see if get any freebies later, so far pre-order doesn't make sense, 3 weeks wait and we gettin nothin on top,
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jay01:
True but i couldn't resist ordering the latest and (greatest) new Pixel phones :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] misiokicio:
Well true.. the temptation is unbelievable haha, will wait till 2nd of Nov and just walk into the store and get it, maybe after OP and Huawei some freebies shows up
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mdizzle1:
How are people managing to fill these phones up?

I've not filled my 32Gb Pixel XL up once thanks to Google photos.

I've ordered a 64Gb 3 XL in black - expected 1st November from Three.

Unlimited data is £54/month (not for everyone I know). Haggle with them, I got the £99 upfront wiped off

ordered mine from EE launch day expected dispatch is 1st nov I ordered the 128gig all black they waved the £70 fee im on 4 gig a month which will do me as im not using 2 gig a month yet currently due to spending most time on work or home wifi, I have never filled my 32gig yet again due to google photos but im soooo looking forward to getting it coming from the OG 32g XL. Just goto sell my really blue og 32g xl now anyone have any idea how much I should be asking for it?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hereisphilly:
I think you are realistically looking around starting at £100 on eBay

There are a few that are on £140 with no bids and not much time left

Sucks tho as the pixel 1 is still a great phone

"Your delivery was delayed. We're working to get it to you soon and will email you when it's on its way."

Support told me that my order got stuck processing and they're escalating it so I'll have to wait 24-48 hours to hear back about a new estimate for delivery. Utter joke.

I ordered a Pixel 3 XL 64gb Not Pink so it's not even like mine is in too high of a demand because it was the least popular option.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] AndyCr15:
So I got my text from DHL saying it would be delivered tomorrow, but I have the option of collecting, so I've taken that. I am at work from 12 noon, so would fit in fine.

When I go back to the site, or ring them, I get told it's still due for delivery. You can't speak to anyone to ask if it just doesn't update and actually it's fine to collect.

I had a mess around with them last year, they wasted 4 hours of my evening because I said I would collect, went after work and they tried to deliver while I was parking up at DHL!!! I then waited for the driver to come back to base. They let him come back and then go home... with the van full of deliveries!!!

Now I guess I'll just have to wait and see if they try and deliver. If not, maybe it worked and I'll go collect after work on Friday. Really annoyed me that Google use UK Mail. For me they're the worst of all delivery companies.
