Has anyone been able to flash individual partitions, such as boot? I've tried and don't remember the exact error but it was something to the effect that the partition doesn't exist.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] k.s.deviate:
Wait, so the bootloader CAN be unlocked?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Badger50:
On the google version it can.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] k.s.deviate:
Ok, until an RMA is needed.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jd1639:
Google doesn't care if the bootloader is unlocked. So no worries there. But if you can't flash partitions it makes me nervous doing anything with the phone.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] k.s.deviate:
No, I know that. I meant wait until you get a device back on an RMA and find out it's refurbished. Will not be able to unlock the bootloader... Just like the pixel 2.

Curious.. is the Verizon bootloader locked again this time? Wondering if I can pick one up at Best Buy or if I'll have to order from the Google Store.

EDIT - Nm. Per other threads, Verizon is locked down again.

how'd you obtain root? I tried canary build this morning and still get bootloops. github looks like its still "down" https://status.github.com/messages
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jd1639:
Yeah, the usual way for a google device. fastboot flashing unlock. You'll need the beta version of Magisk to root, I used v17.4. I did need to flash the patched boot image to both boot partitions.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] marc.ientilucci:
beta is showing as 17.2 for me, im going to try canary with the OTA boot.img

using the canary build worked. i removed magisk manager, reinstalled it, used the boot.img from the factory image and all went well.

Please help.. I am stuck with no valid slot to boot and wont be able to reboot at all..

I do have patched_boot.img on my PC where I ran "fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img" and it did not show any error but I still cant reboot it due to no valid slot.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] nfsmw_gr:
I'm having the dreaded touch lag issue on my poco device.

I've sent it back for repair or refund but they refuse to do anything since the touch tests pass.

I tried explaining them my previous 3 years old device is fine and that the poco which is much newer and faster should do this and they don't listen to me, they say that the device is working like the manufacturer intended for it to work.

So, can anyone record a video?

It should only take 2-3 minutes to record and upload. Do it in 480p it doesn't matter as long as it shows the issue.

There are 2 ways to do it, the correct way, and the fast way, I'll write both.

1) Go to about phone, kernel version, tap a few times then CIT testing app will open. (if it doesn't open try again)

Then go to the top right and press the three dot menu, then additional tools, then touch sensor.

Then tap really fast on the edges of the display. If your device is working as intended the touches should all be registered.

2) Download realdrum, and tap really fast on the below drums on the edge of the display, If your device is working as intended the drums should register all the inputs without missing.

Again it's urgent, so I could use all the help I can.

Thank you. :)

I feel for you. All the 7 pocophone I have tried have this annoying issue. I've complained and asked people about it, and who claims that theirs is working fine is either using Swiftkeyboard (which isn't as fast as Gboard), or simply doesn't know how to test this properly. Maybe they just don't notice it at all, but I doubt there's a single pocophone without this bug, and this is what made me give up on the phone.

Here's what you probably need.

Jesus christ 7 pocophones?

Wow.

God damn it Xiaomi, how can they release a faulty device and take no responsibility for it?

Samsung went ahead and recalled all the Note 7s that had the battery issue, a much more expensive and higher selling device.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] rylark:
2 returned from a retail store, 2 from amazon, 1 that I tried from a store and 2 more from friends of mine. It's absurd how bad their quality control is. They claim that it's software, just like they claimed the screen bleeding was part of the phone. They're a ****ing joke.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] betterthanjordan79:
Do you have a screen protector on , or to be more specific, a tempered glass one with the black band? If so this is your issue because the black band is slight raising the contact. Have you tried pressing the device harder to see it it registers?

No screen protector, pressing harder doesn't affected the usage.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] exdeee:
Most of the units if not all have this problem, I canceled my order for this phone recently and I'm glad that I did. Xiaomi had to save on something and they did, sadly on the screen. Screens from tianma are known for their not very good quality ( rumors say that they catch afterimages after time ) and it feels bad that it turned out that this phone is a big no no. Screen is a numero uno thing when it comes to a phone, damn u look and type on it so despite the great specification this phone is a crap. People all over miui forum write threads that their pocophones have input lag and ghost touches. Xiaomi knows about it and since a month clam that they gonna fix it via ota updates. Let me tell you something they won't. It's not possible to fix it because it's a faulty digitizer that causes the problem which is obviously a part of the hardware. That's what happens when you try to rock the world with the best spec budget smartphone and u cut costs in the lcd panel area. With all that being said, don't fall for this phone. If you look for the good phone for 300 bucks then better option imo is for example Lg g6. Don't get fooled and stay open minded guys, peace.

Good decision, refund this crappy phone and get something better. When it comes to me xiaomi just lost a supporter and follower, once Hugo Barra left xiaomi everything started to fall apart ( mi mix 2/2s are not as revolutionary as the first mi mix was or the mi 8 which is nothing else than a iphone x copy ). It's always good to wait and see the very first 3 months after a phone release, usually after this time most of the fails/cons come out. Have a good day anyways :)

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] exdeee:
Well, it doesn't change the fact that lcd panels in pocophones are poor quality. I don't really believe that they managed to fix it via updates, only time will tell after let's say a month if the problem is fixed. I don't think that it will, it's better to send the phone back, get ur money and wait. There are way better options for example the aforementioned one plus 6.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Murareelalm:
Working fine for me

For me it is working fine. I can't see the blue line which show the position but the touch is working fine even when I tap it fast. The touch is always registered without the blue lines. You can always see a red dot where you touched.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sanjay0501:
If u own the phone try stable 9.6.25 ( I haven't tried) or beta 8.10.18 ( I have tried with all types of tests) and then comment
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] exdeee:
And you try to understand smart boy that input lag is related to a hardware problem not a software problem, go and check by the way miui forums. There are plenty of people commenting that 9.6.25 didn't fix a thing.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Willyman:
So far I've not been particularly impressed with it's accuracy. My Mate 10 pro before that was very hit and miss as well. Granted, I live in a big city, but my wife's iPhone 7 has no such issues... Not Huawei's strong point it seems.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] rakesh2002:
It says accuracy can reach up to 30 cm, which means lane level accuracy. Driving in Kuala Lumpur will be fun :)
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] panman1964:
It's as accurate as I need it to be and it's there when I need it.

4-5m is about as much as you realistically need IMHO (unless you're using it to program a cruise missile for a clinical strike).

If you cant find what you're looking for when you're within 4-5 metres then maybe you need to go to Specsavers (other opticians are available)
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] icecoldbeverage:
I agree. As much as I like it to be as accurate as possible, I'm on a consumer device paying consumer money.

The worst that usually happens to me is Google thinks I'm in the shop next door.

I can deal with that tbh and I have no desire for Huwaei (or any other manufacturer) to spend several million £/$ just to get my GPS down to my EXACT location.

The last thing we need is these phones being even more expensive :eek:

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] onepiece:
My gripe is the accuracy and precision when using the smartphone GPS in big cities with skyscrapers, particularly when walking. The blue dot on Google Maps will literally jump around 20 to 40 meters for no obvious reason. This has happened to me numerous times on Samsung and late model Huawei phones. .

Just last night I was in Manhattan, New York City. I came out of the museum and found myself in a freezing rain downpour. I used my Huawei Mate 9 to make a beeline towards the GPS indicated nearest subway station. Long story short, I spent 15 minutes going in circles as the blue dot kept changing locations. While GPS got me in the neighborhood it did not come close to nailing the location of the subway entrance. I still have to do frustrating excess walking & backtracking to find the subway entrance.

This has happened to me in EVERY city with skyscrapers that I’ve used GPS. Doubly frustrating when the Uber driver and I am very close… But not close enough to recognize we are near each other. And yes, I have “calibrated“ my compass multiple times. Have even refreshed A-GPS data. How about it Huawei? Samsung? Broadcom? What can be done about this? Buy a Garmin?

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] onepiece:
Just curious… What data did you see that leads you to the conclusion that Huawei’s implementation of dual frequency GPS “seems to be better than Broadcom”. Or were you just trying to get that conversational ball rolling?

By the way… Great topic.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] kriss3:
Better because it's gps from huawei.

And not an external GPS.

So support should be better

Xiaomi mi8 is gps broadcom

and he had to rely on support from broadcom.

The last update of the android in huawei mate 20

improves gps accuracy in Google maps.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] BoneXDA:
Not true. The Mate 20 Pro still doesn't use L5 and E5 bands, therefore the phone has the same level of accuracy (up to 3-5 meters) like any other device, rather than 10-50 centimeters (something dual band GPS should be able to do).
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] kriss3:
Yes, it's true that android needs a patch

from huawei mate 20/20 pro.

Currently, l5 does not work.

But the last update EMUI 9.0.0.142 from huawei

improves gps accuracy in Google maps.

https://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_mat...to_quality_biometric_unlocking-news-34614.php

I have no idea or last update

supports l5.

And if you do not have to wait for a correction.

The same was with xiaomi mi8.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] BoneXDA:
142/146 update did not bring L5 support ,accuracy is the same as before: good, but nowhere near cm levels. So the L5/E5 update is still necessary, but the current climate around Huawei in the West is anything but ideal so who knows.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] kaibosh99:
When dialing in the target for your cruise missile, to make up for jittery GPS just aim a little in front of your target to get maximum splash damage. If you need 'per window' accuracy use Hi-Vision instead, at the last second you will get a notification about helpful suggestions for storm shutters and such on Amazon.

Oppo Reno 10x hybrid zoom version uses dual-frequency GPS.

Today, OPPO’s Vice President, Shen Yiren, discussed a few details about the OPPO Reno series. Shen Yiren said on Weibo: “The 10x hybrid zoom version uses dual-frequency GPS.” The dual-frequency GPS function provides more accurate positioning. Another Chinese manufacturer, Xiaomi, was the first to apply the technology to mobile phones. The Xiaomi Mi 8 supports L1+L5 dual-frequency positioning and its accuracy is at least 3-5 times better. It is more resistant to multipath and reflected signals in urban scenes and has higher immunity to interference.
