[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Ramsport:
if you look in the wiki, theres a spot where it tells you how to flash/upgrade roms. going by those instructions it looks easy, BUT i see in some of the rom threads in the upgrading section that you have to download the Hardspl for the kaiser. my question is what the hell is and what does it do, the Hardspl that is. (Never flashed a rom in my life, still somewhat trying to see how do to it.)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Ramsport:
good info, but it doesnt explain if you actually need spl or not when upgrading? the wiki doesnt say anything about getting or using spl.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ekw:
spl is strongly advised when upgrading. If u ever flashed like a router or something, and something goes wrong you have bricked it and its real tricky to unbrick that device. With spl, you can always reflash incase of a bad flash and it most likely wont brick. There should be more details in those links the mod provided.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Shinichi Kudo:
I have used the throttling app to check as I was getting way poor benchmark scores all over.

Although I got great score in the beginning after unboxing.

I was amazed by the 14.5k+ compute score.

But now after 2 days the scenario has changed.

I am getting very inconsistent scores.

You can see below that the CPU throttled almost just after the test began within that 2 minute period.

So is the device faulty?

I so don't want to go into further hassle as Flipkart is bad, it dispatched the phone from a location not more than 1 and a half hour from my home after 3 frigging days.

Someone please advice.

Here is my Lenovo Z2 Plus's screen for reference.

I know these are only $20.00 earbuds but has anyone compared? I read usb-c is better because the processing is done in the buds vs. on the phone for 3.5mm.

I ordered and received my OP6 with accessories one being the USB-C Bullets (by mistake choosing the wrong power play bundle). They didn't work and I was going to return them until I found out enabling OTG enabled them. It is kind of a hassle having to enable OTG every time though. But if the output is better?
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] mzsquared:
The sound quality of a playback from any device is a relative thing. You can't measure quality but only compare it by and for yourself, still, only subjectively. You have to judge $20 earbuds and ask yourself: are they good enough for me? If the answer is 'No' then you try something else.

Some people rely on 1 to 5 Star ratings posted by the seller, that could be deceiving too.
[OnePlus 6 Accessories] koolkunz:
I came from an s7 edge and I felt that the 3.5mm jack output quality was not as good in op6. So it would be interesting to know if maybe usb c audio is better

Have you tried USB c output?

Hi georgiapi, have you figured out how to enable USB c audio output? I tried several times with enabling otg or switching preset USB mode (PTP,charging, file transfer, midi...) in developer options but I'm not able to make USB c audio working... I read on the internet that enabling otg works with OP3, 3t, 5, 5t...Anyone that can help? I honestly think that music quality coming from 3,5mm jack is really low-quality and I would like to know if with USB c the situation would be better...thanks

I also make a look and conclusion for my friends phone and after all of them always flashing a custom rom, battery got a drain problem and cannot sot 7-8h again just 5-6h and this totally are bad for us to keep flashing and hack our phone system.

Now i'm using a redmi 4x about 5-6 month, i don't unlock my bootloder and never flashing a custom rom, because the cause of hardware problem after used many rom.

Now i can get 11-12 h sot, do you trust it??

I also never push the update for miui, just use old miui version. Because it also will cause drain problem for our battery life.

In conclusion, just used our phone carefully, don't going to mad, making your phone like iphone 6+ because your phone are miui and are xioami phone.?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] shuvabrata:
Folks,

I finally decided to go for LineageOS 16.0 on my Moto G5+ and i am currently on the stock Oreo firmware. I have tried multiple methods to ensure that TWRP sticks (as described in various threads) but so far it doesn't seem to work. I think it would be great if one of you could put together a fresh post on how to get this done including the links to the custom TWRP images (if needed), Magisk etc. Otherwise there are just too many conflicting threads out there. Can someone help?

Thanks a ton in advance. :o
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Choup17:
I literally just did this to my stock 8.1 RETUS and it was a little scattered around, but manageable to do. Here are some links that I used that may help:

1. These are the correct steps to follow in order still https://xdaforums.com/g5-plus/how-to/how-to-root-moto-g5-plus-t3579659

2. This is a pretty decent video showing the above steps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fGmDNZxn2g

All I can say that is really different from the provided links I gave you is: make sure you are using the latest stable version of magisk (v17.1), and I used the "lazyflasher file" from the youtube video instead of the "no verify" file from the xda post. I think I did this because I the link to the xda file no longer worked? And I also used the latest TWRP 3.2.2? But like I said, this is all actually pretty simple in the end. I haven't rooted a phone since my Note 3 with KNOX LOL. Hope I helped, feel free to ask questions.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] mattman83:
Likely in next update whenever that is (often around 1 month between updates). Worst case it its not in the miui app, they are also updating a lot of the underlying API/Hal stuff and gcam is working GREAT as of the most recent beta build.

Currently gcam night mode better than miui, but it's early days for miui one too... First beta release only.

Unlocking bootloader prevented OTA on all my ASUS devices.

Every time you go to check for updates, it will tell you there aren't any.

But you can download the software image from their site.

Then you can either flash it via recovery or copy the file to your phone's storage, it will detect it automatically and propose to install it.

hello everyone. im not sure if im using the search function here correctly or not but i couldnt find anything. (probably didnt use it correctly) but i have a samsung s8 from tmobile. i own the phone and was with t-mobile for a long time. until a week ago. the phone isnt paid off yet and i plan on going back to t-mobile once i situate the money issue with them. but for nowi would love to still use it. and i cant unlock it as its not paid yet. is there any way to unlock it to use on metro. i have to reiterate this, the phone is mine, i was paying monthly for it. until i fell behind on some of the bills and couldnt make them any more. so its not stolen, i can prove its mine. i would just love to still use it as it is a good phone. any positive feed back would be greatly appreciated. thanks again guys and gals.

Well they changed it. I know the owner personally and as of 6 months ago it was 110. I pay samkey.com for unlock credits on mobile and it is most def not free.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] arifqur:
Hi. I have a Mi8 128GB Chinese version with Locked Bootloader with Chinese rom.

I will get it unlocked by Nov 20th and in the meantime I am researching on the do's and don'ts of flashing on this device.

I have a lot of previous experience with android and flashing.

After going through these forums, I have my doubts about accidentally doing some stupidity while flashing the fastboot roms.

So is it alright if after unlocking the BL I flash the recovery rom zip files through TWRP, like miui 8.10.20 rom for preparing for custom rom flashing like Havoc or LOS16 and never use the fastboot roms.

I have confidence in TWRP and am comfortable using it.

It would give me peace of mind if some helpful soul can confirm this.

Thanks

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Mothanashaqrah:
Hello guys , i just wanna ask u about the battery life in the 3 and the 3xl

Is the battery performance much better on the larger one ?

Or its about the same ?

I like the smaller one because its much easier to hold in one hand but the battery life is more important for me , so is it worth it to go with the XL ? or not much of a difference ?

and in general , how is the battery performance in both models compared to other flagships ?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
If you don't mind the notch and the larger size I would recommend the Pixel 3 XL for battery life but you still shouldn't expect much from either one.

The Pixel 2 battery life wasn't very good and with a 13% bigger screen and 13% more pixels but only an 8% bigger battery the Pixel 3 battery life is actually worse than the Pixel 2.

The Pixel 3 XL has a slightly bigger screen, a slightly higher resolution and a smaller battery compared to the Pixel 2 XL so the battery life of the Pixel 3 XL is also worse than last year's. However it isn't a lot worse and the Pixel 2 XL battery life is decent which is more than I would say about the Pixel 2 and definitely the Pixel 3.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Mothanashaqrah:
But it has snapdragon 845 which is more efficient with battery
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jimv1983:
Technically true but the Snapdragon 845 is only 30% more efficient than the Snapdragon 835 and the CPU already doesn't use that much battery. The CPU actually uses very little battery compared to the screen. You can get a pretty good idea about the battery life of a phone just by looking at the screen specs and size of the battery. Having the Snapdragon 845 instead of the Snapdragon 835 will help a little but it's so insignificant that it's hardly worth mentioning.

I like to use a car analogy. In terms of power usage the battery is like the gas tank and the screen is like the engine. If you have a small gas tank(small battery) and a large engine (large high resolution screen) you aren't going to get that far on a tank of gas(fully charged battery).

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] mrbobo1:
I have both, the pixel 3xl gets ~1h more sot give or take based on my day to day usage. It's on par with the difference between the 2 and xl and 1 and xl versions (I have had them all). To me, the form factor of the 3 is perfect, screen to body ratio is awesome. The 3xl is fine but it's a huuuuge phone.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Sevael:
I had both and returned the 3 XL. The 3 gets a bit better battery life for me. Even though the 3's battery is 15% smaller and the screen is only 13% smaller, the resolution is 45% lower so it makes a noticeable difference.

[Magisk] oddcast:
As the title says, Play Services doesn't show up on MagiskHide for some reason. I'm on Android 5.0 in a quite old Lenovo A7000 Plus, and lately I just kept trying to pass SafetyNet to no avail.

(Still on the manufacturer stock ROM)

Some of the things I have tried are:

enabling Magisk Core Only mode

testing out MagiskHide again as on this guide

toggling MagiskHide on and off and rebooting in between

uninstalling Play Services updates and reinstalling new ones (2 times)

clearing Play services' cache and data

uninstalling Play Store updates and reinstalling new ones

clearing Play Store's cache and data

uninstalling other root apps (Lucky Patcher) and clearing AdAway's hosts file

toggling SELinux to Enforcing and uninstalling the app I've used to do so

signing my phone out of my Google account and back again

disabling USB debugging

wiping dalvik and cache in TWRP 3.0

reinstalling Magisk 17.1 Stable

uninstalling Magisk 17.1 Stable and installing 17.3 Beta

reinstalling Magisk 17.1 again.

adding Play Services to MagiskHide through terminal commands:

su
magiskhide --add com.google.android.gms

Also, whenever I click on any app in the Store i get an FC. I can only install apps, but only through the three-dot menu. I can install Netflix and even run Pokemon Go without issues, but the Store says my device is not certified.

My Play Store version is 12.3.30 and my Play Services is 14.3.66.

I still need Google Pay but I'm completely lost.

If anyone can help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Play services are added to the Hide list by default, they don't need to show up in the Hide list...

Have you made sure that MagiskHide works at all?

Where's that Magisk log?
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Let's continue then...

Only add the apps that absolutely need to be on the Hide list. Every addition comes with a price... To pass SafetyNet you don't need to add anything.

Do you at least pass Basic integrity? If that passes, but the CTS profile check fails, try using my MagiskHide Props Config module to set a certified fingerprint. That might help.

If you fail both CTS and Basic integrity, but you've verified that MagiskHide works (hiding root from a root app), that likely means you've got something else on your device causing SN to fail. You don't happen to have Xposed installed?
[Magisk] oddcast:
Got it.

Nope, just "response is invalid".

I don't have Xposed... I do have a non-systemless iYTBP (Youtube Vanced). I installed it a few months ago before I completely switched from SuperSU to Magisk. My first installation was fine though, i used the unSU script from osm0sis and then installed Magisk in TWRP. Could the non-systemless YouTube Vanced have tripped SN? Cause it didn't at the first time I installed Magisk...

Also i kept Play Store at the "factory version" cause it's the only state that it can install/update my apps successfully. Don't know why it FCs on the latest version.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
"Response is invalid" is not a failed SafetyNet test. That just means that you don't have a proper answer from the servers. Usually caused by using an app that's not been updated to the latest Google APIs (use the Magisk Manager to check SN), or there's something wrong with your Play Services. Since you're keeping them at a "factory version" on an Android 5.0 system, that's likely your issue. You need to have the latest updates...
[Magisk] oddcast:
Do I have to keep both Play Services and the Store at the latest version? I have Play Services at the latest version but not the Play Store because of the reasons I've said... Also I've checked with another SN test app and both basic integrity and CTS are failed.
[Magisk] oddcast:
Anyone?

(I have Play Services at the latest version available for my phone, but I kept the Play Store at the default version that came with my phone.)
