[Off-topic] Confused Stu:
I'd say it depends a lot on what you use the PC for and what's important to you. If you're gaming and if your PC is up to it, I would also recommend going for Vista over XP due to the extra features and mostly the vastly impressive GUI on Vista - I love it. If your PC specs aren't too great, or you have to spend a lot of time on legacy software (for work, etc) then I'd say stick with XP, it works fine and there's no problem with it, but there's no WOW factor either. In your case, I'd say the 2Ghz single core CPU would be right on the border, if there's nothing in Vista you NEED, stick with XP. If you do go Vista, the only practical advantage 64 has over 32 is losing the 3.5Ghz RAM limit. If you go Vista I'd say go 64 for future-proofing.

IMHO there is no "right" OS, there's only the right OS for a given need and spec.

Just for some background in case you need to know what I mean:

I've got Vista64 on my desktop PC (Q6600 @ 3GHz, 4Gb RAM, Radeon HD4870, 76Gb Raptor and 500Gb WD) which is predominately for gaming. It flies and I've never had any problems with any applications or games being incompatible or slow - Bioshock and Crysis run perfectly.

I've also got Vista32 on my HTPC (Athlon X2 4850e, 4Gb RAM, integrated HD3200, 2 x 500Gb WD) because some of the best Media Centre plugins have been written by hobbyists for 32bit and aren't compatible with Vista64.

My laptop small and light with good battery life but lower specs (Centrino U2500 @ 1.2Ghz, 1Gb RAM, 40Gb 1.8 inch HDD, 5 hour battery) but I want it purely for internet surfing so XP's fine on that.

I've also got a photoframe I've made out of an old Pentium 3 800MHz laptop - that's running Windows 2000!

hummmm

been using vista 64 home prem for few months now

not happy as it stalls a lot....i have a new rig so i would expect this

i am now thinking of going back to xp x64....i think i can live without the eye candy

explorer has a mind of its own....works when i wants to

using firefox now...i have to....and the thing is i love explorer :(
[Off-topic] xplode:
I like to add something (IMO) Vista is lost cause even after SP4 it will be crappy OS, as some people i have tested the pre beta version of windows 7 and it consumes a lot less ram than vista, also for a pre beta stage this os seems a faster than vista and with the same stability i can not imagine what will be the final product - the pre beta version impresses me so i may fall in love with the final ... but this is in near future. For now i will just skip vista (i have used it for about 8 months this is more than enough)

So I've noticed since upgrading to Pie, when using the quick toggle switches, the wrong item is displayed at the bottom of the screen. If I was to click the wifi toggle, it will say mobile data enabled at the bottom of the screen. If I was to click the wifi toggle off, it says wifi enabled at the bottom. I'm 110% stock (Verizon version ?) thoughts?

Mine keeps enabling "Night Mode" to "Always on" all by itself. I set it to "Always off" and it turns itself back on again after just a few minutes.

Weird stuff going on.

I may just start going through system apps and clearing cache and see what happens.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] ice711:
That I believe is because you have night mode turned on in the messages app, or any other Google app that has a dark mode setting. The night mode setting in developer options I've noticed, doesn't really matter. When I use Android auto, it switches between day and night on its own. Now if I pick up my device and use it while it is still plugged into my car, and I open messages which I have dark mode enabled, it will switch Android auto to dark. And I would have to unplug the USB and plug it back in. Hope that helps
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] DurhamHusker:
You're absolutely right. The night mode setting for the notification pull down follows the setting in the Messages app ... which I had turned on.

Thanks! That was driving me nuts.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] computerslayer:
Okay, so my phone is bricked and there's no recovering it. RMA is already ordered and on it's way. Essentially I'm in the same situation as this poor soul (and many others, from the results of searching for this error in the forums).

What I want to know is if I did this or if this was something I couldn't have foreseen. The phone had an unlocked boot loader with the latest OS (Pie) & security updates (November). No custom ROM or kernel - stock everything, though I did have Magisk installed. Today I decided to re-lock my bootloader. While the device was in fastboot mode I issued the command "fastboot flashing lock" and followed the phone's on-screen directions. When it finished and tried to reboot, it would only go the fastboot mode with the message "ERROR: Slot Unbootable: Load Error".

I recognize that locking the bootloader may have been the last straw for some present flaw - like a weak engine finally giving out after long service. Is that the case here or is there some step I missed that would have prevented this from happening? I ask because I don't want to repeat a mistake in the future.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] yuva_cool:
u found any way to unbrick your phone?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] computerslayer:
Nope. The RMA was approved and I'm using a new (refurbished) device.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] yuva_cool:
U had an unlocked bootloader and yet your RMA was approved? [MENTION=1950850]computerslayer[/MENTION]
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] computerslayer:
The error showed up when I relocked the bootloader, so it was locked when I submitted the RMA. They approved it (and didn't demand a payment when they received the RMA'd phone), so I suppose they accepted that it was a warrantied issue.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] robocuff:
Did you flash the stock boot image before you relocked? If not, Magisk was still installed and that's where you went wrong. You need to be completely stock when you relock the phone.

If you ever relock the phone you have now, to be on the safe side, I'd flash the factory image and leave the -w in the flashall batch file. Your phone will get wiped when you relock it anyway so you won't be out anything if you do so.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] computerslayer:
I am abashed to have to report that I did not flash the stock boot image. I wondered if Magisk was the cause, but assumed that the wipe caused by relocking would take care of that too.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] robocuff:
If that's the case, it's a certainty that that's the cause of your problem. You have to be completely stock when you relock it. Flashing the factory boot image should take care of that if all you have done is installed Magisk. That said, I'd still flash the factory image and let it do the wipe, just to be sure.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] virganda:
I have this issue and now my pixel 2 cant boot. It stuck. Cant enter fastboot. This is my last experience with pixel series devices. Its expensive phone, but its too sensitive to brick. I dont know why, an update or a flashing stock rom can make your phone totally unuseable. I just cant accept it
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] themohvision:
I had exactly the same issue. just keep holding the power button with or without the vol- for a good 30~ seconds or so (it will restart several times) but keep holding.

and make sure you are connected to the PC until you hear the ding that the phone got recognized, then the phone will accept fastboot commands.

This worked for me before I was going to throw the phone in the garbage!

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mod] xdasamsung_s5:
Hi all,

I would like to install GCam on my Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus,but without unlocking of the bootloader! Is that possible?

If it is not possible,then is there some another camera apk which would work almost like the GCam,and has the same features,but to work without need of rooting of the phone or unlocking of the bootloader?

Please tell me! Thanks to all in advance! Best regards!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mod] Dante:
Unfortunately, it is not possible to use GCam without unlocking the bootloader, you can do it without root but not with locked bootloader. The app that I can recommend is Open Camera from Play Store, give it a try.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mod] xdasamsung_s5:
Thank you for replying!

Could you please tell me, which are the disadvantages of unlocking of the bootloader of my Redmi 5 Plus,and also what becomes unsafe,and how could that be fixed (like the passing of the SafetyNet test,using banking apps,fixing of the issue with the fingerprint scanner that becomes not reliable anymore)?

With one word how to fix everything that becomes unsafe after unlocking of the bootloader?

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Hassan.ajs:
The MI A2 is actually a great device with a great performance But !!! also a lot of problems without fixing makes the device a little poor :

Issue Number 1. Proximity sensor

Not working very well and take a long time to get the screen black after answers the calls and whatsapp voice massages

Issue Number 2. Unstable writing and reading speed (emmc) cause a lot of lags and freezing and we don't even know if it's a software problem!!!

Issue Number 3. Wifi disconnected

it's clear to say that the mi a2 have a poor wifi adapter because sometimes its randomly disconnect the wifi , and never find the signal until i go to near the router to catch the signal again

and we don't know either if its a software problem or a hardware

and there's a lot of small ones like

camera2api , smart Lock freezing , .......

I am not asking Xiaomi to be perfect , but we need a clarification about the problems

We receive 2-3 updates in a month and no one care about any of the problems

Who agrees!!!????

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] verttl:
Gues I'm lucky since I haven't had any of those software/hardware issues. I've been extremely happy with my MI A2. Even my friends turn green with envy whit their expensive flagship models.

My A2 is Global 64/4 variant.

Maybe if I'm stretching a bit the audio output via headphones could be louder and ldac-codec would be nice to have since theres no 3,5mm port.

This part is bit offtopic and there's nothing Xiaomi can do to fix it. I've been spoiled with great xda-communities since the beginning of my android days back in 2010. And I have to say that forum is starting to remind me a bit of those awful miui-forums with thousands of "please fix dear bro fix fix"-messages, stupid clickbait topics and questions wich are already answered in the OP or in previous post. I know I'm not much of a help either and the best guy to whine about that, but it's very frustrating when all the useful stuff gets buried under that ****. I'm still grateful for what we have and big respect to everyone who are willing to help and spent their time for the good of our device and community.

im convinced 100% with the mi a2 , but i don't want my phone to drop wifi Suddenly in the middle of my work , don't want a half of year until my phone clear cache of Google chrome , and don't want to wait a 3-5 seconds

until the proximity sensor works after answering!!!! I just want to make sure that developers knows the problems , and maybe it will be the perfect device!!!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AcostaJA:
Seems your problem is not your phone, likely you live in a área crowded by WiFi routers fighting fit a free channel, same as you described happened to me with an Samsung note 2, S4, etc at an corner in my home, the only solution was to manually setup a fixed channel where at this corner my router faced fewer competition for bandwidth.

Try different phones likely you'll see the same behavior (my A2 has even better WiFi performance at this corner in my home.)

[Nokia 6.1 (2018) Questions & Answers] pseudonym58:
Add weather widget to home screen on Nokia 6.1 with Android 9.0?

I did a search for weather on Google, and came up with a standard Google weather screen. One of the options is to add widget to the home screen, however when I selected this, nothing happened.

The "At a Glance" preferences for the home screen do not include a weather option. See screenshot.

Before the phone updated to Pie, I believe the weather was part of the "At a Glance" options.

I tried installing Nova launcher, but when I attempted to add the Google weather widget, it didn't work there either. It almost seems as if Google has not coordinated two parts of their operating system to work properly together.

Can anyone else confirm this behavior, or might it be exclusive to Nokia phones?

But i have some questions regarding it

1. Will my data be format while rooting and installing twrp

2. How i will get ota update

3. Will installing ota update also format my data?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] roxor101:
1. Your whole internal data needs to be wiped... To flash the force decryption enabler at first...

Even while installing twrp via fastboot.. Your data will be formated

2. You will get updates... But not via ota.... Yes you will get to download the updateds in some roms... But you need to dirty flash them.

3. While dirty flashing.... Formatting data is not required.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Ikaushal:
Does the twrp with working decryption also need to format my data?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Saswata Chakraborty:
You can root your device in two ways.

First, with twrp (OTA won't work afterwards)

Second, without twrp (OTA will work)

First method, unlock the bootloader (device will be wiped)>Grab the twrp with working decryption>Boot your device into fastboot and type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (or whatever the recovery image name is)>Now type fastboot boot twrp.img (or whatever the recovery image name is)>Once booted into twrp, swipe to allow modification>Now download Magisk installer and copy into the device>Flash it?Reboot to system>Profit.

N.B. After flashing twrp, make sure to first boot into twrp before booting into system or else device will restore stock recovery. If you need to update in future, just grab the twrp flashable update package and flash it. That's it. No need for OTA.

Second method, this will also require an unlocked bootloader. Once the bootloader is unlocked, get the stock boot image of your current software (e.g. if you are on miui 10 with October security patch, make sure to grab the stock boot image for miui 10 october). Now install Magisk manager apk in your device. Now open magisk manager and go to install. You will find an option for patching stock boot image. Click on it and select the stock boot image. Magisk will patch the boot image and will place it in your internal memory. Now boot into fastboot mode and type fastboot boot patched_boot.img (or whatever the name is). Once device is booted into system, go to Magisk and click on Install>Direct install (recommended).Magisk will get flashed by itself and reboot. Once rebooted, go to Magisk manager and check. If you do everything correctly, you are rooted.

N.B. When you get an OTA update, open Magisk and go to Unsinatll and click on "Complete uninstall". It will uninstall magisk and revert your stock boot image back. Note that, if you play witgh system partition like modifying build.prop or change host file or bootanimantion or any such thing, you won't be able to get any further OTA update. In that case, you need to flash the complete fastboot rom through MiFlash tool.

For more information, please go to Magisk thread or search online.
