Interesting, it seems that most of you wanted the bigger phone simply because it's bigger.

That make sense, but I'm curious if that takes away google's incentive to improve the design if people still purchase one of the the ugliest phones of the year in droves?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] RayEdmondson:
I wouldn't call it one of the ugliest phones of 2018. I upgraded from my old Nexus 6 to the Pixel 3 XL and absolutely love it. Enabling dark mode makes it so I don't even notice the notch. There were a couple of initial hiccups, there always are with a new device. Google addressed the battery issues and distortion/vibration issues when listening to music at lower volume. I love the dual front facing speakers which is why I held out for so long before upgrading from my Nexus 6. Battery life is outstanding for my purposes. I don't have much time at work to fool around with my phone, so normally when I'm headed home after a 9 hr day I'm still sitting at around 80% battery.

Comparing the feel and weight of the Pixel 3 XL to my wife's iPhone 8+, the Pixel feels so much better to hold and is definitely lighter in weight.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nyydynasty:
being as unbiased as I can, calling it "ugly" is a little harsh. That's really all personal preference. Some might like it. Some may not. If you think it's ugly, I can respect that as it's your opinion. Personally, i like it and the notch doesnt bother me at all (never did, even before I bought the device).

On a personal level, I dont understand how anyone can call ANY phone ugly. Majority of phones are rectangle. When powered off, they all look the same (for the most part). The backside is where the variations occur. I dont use a case on any phone because the manufacturer spent a lot of time and money designing the feel of the device for a reason. Putting a case on it, ruins the entire reason they made it that way. Other than customizing your cases (which i can understand), many people will say they put a case on it to protect it from breaking. My answer to that is - hold your damn phone. Dont drop it. Dont put it on your lap while sitting down. You're going to forget its there and drop it when you stand up. Besides, you paid a lot of money for a device that you end up covering it with a crappy plastic cover (but I digress) ....

the backside is where most of the variations occur on different phones. If you put a case on it, you cant see the back anyway. So that brings me back to the front, which is why I originally said "i dont understand how anyone can call any phone ugly". The front is almost the same on every (popular) phone.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
Well I certainly don't intend to start a discussion about the phone's attractiveness, but we have to be honest and recognize that the large notch, relatively large chin, and inconsistent radius corners, are what made the P3XL stand out from the competition (and not in a good way). The design is so offensive that it caused many to declare they would never buy it or would only but the smaller version.

Clearly, we are quick to condemn and even quicker to forgive ?

Helow,

I bought a navigation with android Panlelo (but after several searches I found out that it is produced by Ezonetronic) Model: RM CT001. After a month of use has stuck in the logo screen, starts the logo for 10 seconds and then resets. I would also need to write the andoid's software directly to mcu but I do not find this firmware to do that. Someone can help me with this. I received something from the producer, but it is an update to the system and it does not work unless the boots system. Something that does not happen to me. I need this help to keep it out just a dust support after I give the money on it.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mj.craighill@gmail.com:
Dear All,

I have been using the Snote apk i got off Sam mobile, but today I started trying Samsung notes. What I can't figure out is, when you use the Create note shortcut (when one comes out) you can expand the new note and write from the very edge of the screen. But when you save it and edit it (or do a new note within the app,) it will not let you write on the edge of the screen. Instead this is used to scroll up and down using the pen. People moaned the Note 8 was not wide enough, and I agreed. I think the Note 9 does feel wider.....but then they limit your writing width space by giving you a slider bar! Really! Lol.

Does anyone know if you can turn the slider off? You can go up and down pages on everything else without the need for a side slider on both sides of the screen!

Many thanks.

Matthew
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] tazm0n:
This seems to be just what Samsung decided on margins (there's the same blank space on the left too) ... if you go in the "Brush" tab you get edge to edge again, but then it is added to the note as an inserted image with those same margins. I don't see, or have ever read of a way to turn this off or adjust margin width.

This isn't an issue for me as I don't really go the far to the edge- pen often slips off edge if I get too close to the curve. Plus, I prefer S-Note which doesn't have these margins.

Sorry, this isn't much help... maybe go back to S-Note (there is an official apk on the Galaxy App Store)?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mj.craighill@gmail.com:
Hi - no thats ok, thank you for replying! S-note is good, and i have used it always on the note 8, its only trouble is, the pen is way less reponsive with s-note in comparison with Samsung notes - so its a shame. Its not the end of the world.

thanks though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] william-johnson:
I guess it's a case of personal preference. I find the Samsung notes a downgrade from the S-note and was a shame that Samsung removed the creative features of the S-note app (photo note, idea sketch, easy chart etc). The device is made complete by the software so I cant see the sense in removing useful software which was productivity enabled! I have all these features enabled however (thanks to the guys here) so perhaps you might feel differently if u had those features enabled on the S-note. I know there is a Note 8 thread somewhere and this was discussed and resolved.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] gorgeousgeorgeous:
I'm primarily interested in the Tab S4 as a media consumption device. To that end, I was wondering if the Tab S4 dynamically changes its refresh rate to accommodate fullscreen 24p or 25p (48hz and 50hz, respectively) video content without judder. I know the Tab S4 doesn't have the 120hz adaptive display of the ipad pro, but I wonder whether it pulls off the same tricks below 60hz, its native refresh rate. I would greatly appreciate it if someone can test 24p and 25p content (like BBC series for the latter) in Netflix, amazon, or local files through the native player or MX Player or VLC. Slow panning shots of wide vistas best show whether a display is playing content without judder or applying some cadence to it to fit it into 60hz. Thanks a bunch
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] andy o:
It does not change refresh rates, at least for video. Also on Netflix it has some limitations. It only plays up to 720/30p. Still looks sharp enough though and actually I wouldn't have noticed if not for the test patterns. As for the 30p limitation, I don't know any content in higher than that fps.

I've been looking for this apk that works with no luck. I found a thread here that had a gcam app, but I couldn't get it to load. It hasn't been updated since September and doesn't have night sight anyways.

I found another one which I downloaded, but couldn't get night sight to work (portrait worked though)

The latest iteration is the Pixel 3 with Night Sight that I was able to successfully port to my T-mobile branded Note 9.

Yeah, the don't upgrade thing lasted about 5 minutes after I opened the box. I'm geeky about devices, upgrading it was as natural as breathing :D

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] qtotter:
The latest firmware is not DC-unlocker compatible yet, but it's not the end of the world. There are other services who send you a bootloader unlock code although they are simply more pricey ($30-60).

As for TWRP, I recommend TWRP for P10 because it's compatible with MediaPad M5 and capable of handling encrypted data partition and ADB.

Frist why were you install TWRP twice .Whats the problem with the log of TWRP,if I wont do this what will happened?

Second once in a while I was wipeing the data suddenly the power was off .Than I cant reboot my devices.But it can boot into fastboot.

Having a CMR-W09 with testpoint and Potato NV the bootloader unlocked but for almost one week was trying to get rid of the FRP lock . Ended up getting rid of the lock by flashing CMR-W09_hw_eu with Android 9.0. now I have the TWRP vtr3.2.1.0-v0.4. At least for me this recovery remained even after flashed the Android 9. Dont forget the button combinations.

Put official ROM on SD card in folder dload , turn tablet off keep Volume up and Volume down pressed together with Power botton. When Huawei logo comes up, release Power button and the ROM will be flashed.

Few tips when in TWRP you get failed to mount '/vendor '/cust '/odm etc. Get to Wipe in TWRP >Advanced Wipe >Repair or Change File System and select the partition can not be mounted >Change file system> select EXT2 > after that select EXT4, now that partition can be mounted again. The only you can not repair here ist the '/odm . For that solution is Huawei Update Extractor found here >https://xdaforums.com/t/...updated-v0-9-9-5-open-source-library.2433454/ Extract the ODM.img from original ROM into the ADB folder and flash it on fastboot > fastboot flash odm ODM.img

One tip.... you dont have to use command > fastboot reboot , just keep volume up and power button> release power when Huawei logo comes up, so you will not have the custom recovery replaced with erecovery. That especially when you dont have all workj done in custom recovery and you dont want to lose it. :)

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaystromLIVR:
Some while ago, I managed to get my S5+ SM-G901F into something called Service Mode. I can't remember exactly what I was doing, or how I entered it.

Since then, the device has been unrooted and reflashed countless times using Sammobile and Odin. I've both upgrade and downgraded. (The maximum supported now is 6.0.1)

In all that time, any and every reboot has been followed by the green-and-gears animation telling me that certains apps (always three of them) are being optimised. This happens on every reboot, irrespective of whether anything has been reflashed.

The phone is very sluggish with the password entry screen taking some 30s to be properly responsive after it first shows, and battery consumption is ridiculously high.

Then after about a further 90s, I get a 'unfortunately Service Mode has stopped'.

Obviously, I've looked up the above error message, but I just get loads of generic stuff about 3rd party apps failing. Also, the error message refers to Service Mode, not Test Mode, or Factory Mode.

What's going on here ? It looks like some other stuff is being added to the system partitiion and then being redexed on every boot.

How do I stop it doing this ?

The device isn't rooted. I can root it if needed (Magisk) but I'd rather not.

Why does reflashing not cure this ?

Yes, I would look around in the kernel threads to test the possibility. My N7 is running EX Kernel and it (using EXKM) still has a "USB Fastcharge" toggle. I do not see this option in the N6P, P2XL or P3XL though. The advent of USB-C and PD may have changed things on the newer phones. My guess is that it is not available or flar2 would have included it. That being said, I do have the Google Stand and I can tell you it is NOT "all that". I would have been just as happy with a slow charging "dumb" wireless charger. I would never have purchased it if it was not half price on BF. On previous phones, I almost exclusively used the wireless charging overnight so speed was never an issue.
