[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Anand1998:
Thankyou for your reply brother but it didn't work for me new account showing me to wait 72 hours so, i should probably wait.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] huynhanhtri96:
Wait 72 hour is ok. My friend already unlocked by using that way.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] peleya:
The exact same situation i have been stuck at!!

XDA truly be the abode of Android.

I wasn't hoping to find this issue with anyone else as such until this moment!

I have been awfully stuck at this 8.11.2 build with a locked bootloader without even being able to update to the later versions!

The mistake was that i carelessly moved on to flash even without noticing the default was set to lock the bootloader.

Things i tried:-

-trying the conventional method to unlock which, as mentioned by my friend above, ended up with an unknown error-1 screen after all the way up to 99%.

- deleted my mi amount and made a new one with the same sim... Even added the account to device and used as new.

When i tried to associate the device with this account i recreated, a message pops up saying " can't add any more accounts to this sim".

- As tragic it may seem, i settled for a user experience with the stock mi bloatware... Until i realised if the "sim" is the problem, why shouldn't i try a new sim.

- Grabbed my mom's sim card, went on to create an mi account linked to that sim, apparently found out that i had already created one for her but never used to root her device ( redmi 1s).

-I slipped the sim card into my phone, added her account, and even associated the device to that account of hers.

-Eagerly fired up the unlock tool, smashed the unlock button impatiently, to find out a message that asked me to wait for 72 hours until the next try.

- now i am at my 42 hours remaining Mark, and not even sure if it will work.

So what do u ppl think? Is it worth the wait ( like ot or not i have to) ? Or am i better off grabbing a different sim card which doesn't have an mi account.!?!? And will i be asked to wait regardless of whether a sim had or didn't have an mi account before.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Saswata Chakraborty:
Strange! I have locked the bootloader a couple of times by mistake. And I didn't have to wait to unlock it again. As soon as logged into MiUnlock tool using the same account, it unlocked the bootloader within a couple of seconds.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] peleya:
so did you login to your device using password or the phone number? and even in the unlock tool, what did you login using?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Saswata Chakraborty:
My Mi account credential (phone number and password)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] peleya:
U n l o c k e d ! ! !

fired up the mi unlock tool,

i had already added the account to the device and associated with it.

Tried a few minutes ago, to unlock the device.

Unlocked!!!

No resets no nothing, just had the new account running for weeks now.

Thank you ppl...thank you.

Back to rom frenzyyy!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] paramu:
create new mi acount, add, sync, use mi unlock tool and wait for 72 hours.

I think the people who had problems, were the people who lock the cell with the beta rom, not with stable rom...

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] suzook:
Hopefully you read this.....I am in similar situation trying to unlock a mix 3. I used my sons sim to get to the 72 hr unlock...After that i popped my sim in. I am waiting the 72 hrs....When that happens, do i need his sim again when i try the unlock? Or will it work with mine?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
I don't know whether the method you are adopting will work but with your sim it will not work since the request was given when the other sim was in. You will need your son's sim at the time of unlock.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] suzook:
Sort of figured. Thanks. I will just pop his sim in when I go to unlock it.

Popping his sim back in, just for the unlock worked!

[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] sam81478:
Hi, did you unbrick your phone? If not, try Sony companion pc. For booting into recovery, after pressing power+volume down combination, you have to wait until led notification turns on, then press volume up key to enter recovery.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] leoking3:
Hey people, I was wondering: how does it hold up against scratches? I have the blue, with the ridged back, but so far afraid to use it without a case... How do you use yours? Does is scratch easily? What about the screen?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Nicelysedated:
It uses gorilla glass 5, which scratched very easily on my S9. I had small scratches after a day with no case on the S9. I imagine this phone will be no different.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] leoking3:
I feel the same way. Unfortunately. I am curious about the back though...
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] LOGMD:
Back seems to hold up (maybe non touch sensitive glass is easier to make scratch resistant) the front 2 scratches in the first week... And I used a soft pouch until proper accessories come out.

Got a skin on the back and a crappy plastic screen protector for now.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] leoking3:
Allright thanks for the answer, so it seems I have to buy smth for the screen after all..
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonathan-H:
I have some scratches on mine. I am very careful with it, no coins etc. So I will definitely be using a case with the replacement phone I am getting tomorrow for display issues.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] UM Marneus:
Had my first scratch on the back 3 days after receiving my phone... Now it's always in the official Huawei case...
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] LOGMD:
I do wonder though, if it scratches the olephobic coating or the actual glass is scratched. A colleague of mine has the s7 until last week without a protector and said screen was always perfect. But it got fingerprinty as hell.

Wonder if one of those nano liquid coatings would smooth it out. I have accidental damage insurance so if that works I would rid of the scratches with that.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] leoking3:
You might have a point there with the coating. I have noticed that as well on my samsung phones.

I tried that nano liquid, but havent noticed much diferrence though.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] danielson00:
I've tried several screen protectors and they all stop fingerprint recognition working!
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] thomaspHK:
I guess I got lucky. I got a case and a tempered glass screen protector for free with my purchase in Taiwan. Finger print scanner works perfect. I should have checked what the brand was. It was a flagship Huawei store, so obviously they knew what they were putting on there.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] leoking3:
See...that it why they buy iphone or smsng, cause they dont mess up important stuff... You mean the glass ones? Or the foils?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ero69:
I am challenging those that think Mate 20 Pro uses Gorilla Glass (I have read the 1 or 2 reviews that state this), and it's not listed in the Gorilla Glass website. Also worried about scratches I reached out to Huawei AU and received the following:

I am seeing the above noted comments and "scratch resistant" or not, it's obvious this phone needs a case and screen protector.

I wish it had Gorilla Glass 6!
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] buxz777:
No case... Back skin and plastic screen protector ✌️
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jmtjr278:
Good morning all. I have owned this device for a few weeks now and am enjoying it immensely. I bought it second hand from swappa. The warranty/ownership was transferred to my name.

Twice in the past few days I have had significant battery drain. The level indicated 60% when I started running. I watch Netflix or the like for 45 minutes or so then I get the battery saver notification telling me I am down to about 5%. It makes me worried that this happened more than once.

I am wondering, should I suspect faulty hardware/battery? And if so, should I rma? I attempted to clean flash October factory images with no improvement.

Thanks and have a nice day.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
I would install Accubattery and let the phone go through a few full charging sessions. Try to start charging above 20%. Don't take the phone off the charger until the APP tells you the phone is full. You will notice the phone continues to charge even after the PHONE says it is 100%. Once you have done this a few times you will see your battery's estimated remaining capacity as compared with a new battery under the Health tab. It will show you both the mAh and percentage. This will rule out the battery. If the battery is good (eg. >90%) then try a factory reset. Might as well wait a few days until we get the November security update on the 5th. Good luck.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] electroblood:
I thought it was just me. Im a new OP6 owner, but I have flashed a hundred other Android phones. The A/B thing changes the landscape a little, but nothing fundamental has really changed, and many things are a great deal easier. The guides are all over the map and often claim things like 'when flashing a Magisk Module you should clear your cache', which is crap.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dolorem:
Thank you, I have had the same feeling. People treat many of the steps like parts of a magic recipe where it doesn't matter if something is sensible, they just do it "because someone in some forum post told so" or "this is the way it has always been done".

Same thing here, i've flashed a lot of phones but none that had the A/B partitioning scheme. What has complicated things here is that I really wanted to find out which steps in the processes are really necessary and which ones are simply redundant.

Also, many people write their instructions in a confusing way that only causes more people to write questions and many threads turning into back-and-forth between unclear answers and confused questions. A good example is how many people write "just flash OOS twice" which has led to people flashing OOS zip two times in a row without booting and not understanding that both partitions do not get populated this way.

I managed to flash HavocOS to my OP6 today finally, and shall be updating this thread first post to reflect the situation. I hope others also contribute so that we can start pointing to this thread as the source for newbie friendly flash instructions.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] ajsmsg78:
What I would do here is start over. Download the MSM Download Tool (also called the unbrick tool) and open it and flash the stock rom that comes with it (5.1.11). Then take the ota update to the latest version of Pie. Then do what you've done to get oos on both slots and then flashing a custom rom should work.

I've done this a few times and it always solved any issues I had. Also if you're running a custom rom like Havoc and it's on the November security patch and you flash back to any rom in twrp that is in an older security patch your internal storage will have to be wiped or else you'll have issues and you'll never be able to restore a twrp backup or get the phone to boot.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] pablo_max:
Greetings all,

One thing that I have noticed more and more on my P20 Pro (C432 8.1) is that the wifi connection is complete and total crap.

If the phone goes into standby, then I normally always need to toggle wifi on and off to get the data connection working.

This is the same whether I am connected to my linksys or netgear router.

I have also noticed that the bluetooth connection drops out as well.

I use my phone to play music for my baby over a bluetooth speaker. Then in the middle of the night i hear the speaker say again "CONNECTED!!!!", which of course wakes up the baby.

(RANT - Overall, I am shocked by how much worse this phone is than the nexus 6p. If I had not have dropped that phone off my balcony, I would toss the P20 back in the drawer. It is the worst software I have used since the first touchwiz versions. Sadly, it was provided by my company so I cannot sell it or trade it for something else. Hopefully EMUI 9 will be less **** than this garbage- Rant over)

Anyhow, it would be great if anyone has any tips for keeping the wifi working. I already turned off that wifi plus crap.
[Touch Cruise General] HandySpanner:
On my original Orbit, the predictive text was the built in WM one (even after the WM6 update), but on the Orbit 2 it's the black one which isn't the WM6 one but presumably is the HTC replacement. However, I don't like it. Partly because I type a lot of texts from my PC using Pocket Controller Pro to type directly into the message. With the HTC predictive thing, if I type at normal speed, it drops characters, but the original Microsoft WM one doesn't. So now I have to type v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y, which is a PITA.

So that's a long winded way of asking whether I can switch back to the Microsoft predictive text.. thanks!
[Touch Cruise General] gnick666:
Did you even look at the settings? Or use google before posting?
[Touch Cruise General] HandySpanner:
Yes, neither of which came up with a solution. Is there a specific google search I should try which will give me the right answer?
[Touch Cruise General] gnick666:
According to the little black book which has 'manual' printed on it whith nice characters and was included in the basic packadge, the predective text input is called XT9... so try again...
[Touch Cruise General] HandySpanner:
Still nothing. "Is there a specific google search I should try which will give me the right answer?". If you've got a point to make about looking up answers then you're not making it very well. Perhaps demonstrate that the answer is out there and easily found by showing me what I should be looking for. Stuff like "remove polaris xt9" "remove touch cruise xt9", doesn't give me any site that tells me what I need to know. Presumably you know different, so let's see what you've got.
[Touch Cruise General] gnick666:
Please, RTFM, seriously...
[Touch Cruise General] Philip:
What a twat! If you know the answer, then share it - or even better, put it in the Wiki. Don't post three times on the same topic, just to tell the OP that he should Google for it - especially when it patently isn't intuitively obvious to find.

(I too would like to get rid of this Predictive Text mode, and I too am unable to find it using search engines - and yes, there are other search engines than Google.)
[Touch Cruise General] Rroet:
Besides him being a twat in other posts, he's got a valid point here.

RTFM, it's in the user manual that came with your HTC Polaris. Read it again, it's easy to spot.

Go to your keyboard options and select the specific keyboard settings... his hint about XT9 should be all you need by now.

By the time I finished typing this post and went back to thread listings I saw this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=357744 thread as the bottom listing...

search and you'll find.. Most of it is already posted (besides the various hardware bugs this type of device is suffering from;) )
[Touch Cruise General] gnick666:
Sorry but I'm tired of all the whyning people not being able to read the manual, not being able to use to use google, and starting absolutely unneeded threads... we've go enough of those already...

If you claim that I'm a twat then read my posts... I provided more than enough info to solve the problem... or at least make it less agressive...

tnx :)
[Touch Cruise General] HandySpanner:
Nothing in the manual describes what I want to do. I've just checked a PDF of it and searched and re-read every reference to "XT9". Nothing in any of the threads I've read describes how to do what I want to do. You on the other hand seem to think differently so I've asked you a number of times now to be specific, but it seems you can't be. I wonder why...
[Touch Cruise General] HandySpanner:
The request I ask for is not detailed in the manual. If you think differently then tell me exactly what page. Here's a download that you can reference directly:

http://www.my-xda.com/pdf/user_manual/Full_user_Manual_Xda_Orbit_2.pdf
[Touch Cruise General] HandySpanner:
Really, it isn't. I suggest that you and gnick666 RTFOP again.
[Touch Cruise General] gnick666:
Printed (official) user manual, recieved whith the polaris device (you know... little black book whith "manual" printed on the cover), page 56-57... detailed description of the XT9 settings, how to reach them, and which one does what...

Also on page 52-53 (viewed whith Foxit), the same pages can be found... So please next time use the search tool (yes, it can be used in pdf readers aswell)...

Whith my (almost) every post, I provided you whith info... but I'll make something obvious clear: You can't have the old WM word suggestion back (unless you can cook a ROM whithout the HTC XT9)... you can only make it behave like the "Classic" one, but nothing else. For that you can find a detailed description in the manuals.

Also the SIPs provided by HTC, are buggy as hell... if you haven't noticed already...

I would have been so glad if you could figure it out on your own, but noooo... I'm sorry, it's nothing personal but I'm (and not only me) getting fed up whith people not using their heads (much less the search tool), and start asking questions that have already been asked, or something similar, but very related (like in this case, the XT9).
