[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] 5460:
Are you also experiencing a slow boot? Or just can't enable Camera2 API but boots fast?

I can enable Camera2 API by mounting /system RW and manually edit build.prop. I just can't do it systemlessly.

With the setprop method, getprop persist.camera.HAL3.enabled returns 1 in adb shell under OrangeFox recovery, but after a reboot, it returns nothing, the setting is lost.

With a Magisk module, there is no error in log, but it just don't work. While modules moding other files are working, such as WiFi bonding and MiCam V2.

Everything works like a charm if I flash back to 8.11.23 ROM.

I hope someone can help me find the reason. :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] N1ck474:
I don't have problems of slow booting, just Camera2Api, i can't enable it...

I'll retry to install Beta again and enable HAL3 with Orange Fox Recovery

Captured logcat and dmesg on 8.12.13 ROM, found a line in dmesg saying

Command 'restorecon --recursive --skip-ce /data' action=post-fs-data (/init.rc:566) returned 0 took 54543ms.

Seems that is quite a long time, but I can't understand these logs. Hope someone would help. Thanks very much.

My phone has a weird bug

from time to time when I connect my Bluetooth headphones, my battery jumps slowly to 100% as if I would charge it and stays there until I disconnect them and wait a bit.

I did reset my phone three times and it didn't help

so far it doesn't hurt my device, voltage is shown correctly in Ampere

Screen attached.

Did anybody encounter the same?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] zrzhu:
I have use google voice number as my main number for years. I want to turn on receiving incoming phone calls in Hangouts when I'm connected to home WIFI. Ultimately, I want my phone to do below when I get back home:

1. set phone to airplane mode then connect to home WIFI

2. Enable receiving incoming phone calls in Hangouts

3. when disconnected from home wifi, turn airplane mode off and disable receiving income phone calls in Hangout

I've been doing this manually. It really saves lots battery when the phone is not connected to cell tower. I'm not sure if there's a way to do it with Tasker.

Below is instruction from Google how to turn on income phone calls.

-------------------------------------------------

Turn on ringing for incoming calls in Hangouts

If you have a Google Voice number, you can get calls on Hangouts. You can also learn how to make calls with Hangouts.

On your Android phone or tablet, open the Hangouts app .

At the top, tap Menu Menu and then Settings.

Tap the Google Account that you use with Google Voice.

Under the "Google Voice" section, check or uncheck "Incoming phone calls."

Change this setting on each device you have.

If you don’t want double notifications, turn off your device as a forwarding phone in Google Voice.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Acruxx:
Hello, this is my first time posting here, I'm sorry if I make a mistake but I'm not english native speaker.

As you can read my problem is that an important quantity of pixels from my OnePlus 6 are flickering sometimes between red/blue/green, not always the same pixels, they are around all the screen, they change randomly. Only when there is more than one color(like a photo), when there is a plain color image they take the correct color, white and black work correctly, the problem are red/green/blue.

Even though the pixels are small is pretty annoying that this happens. I would like to know if this has a solution, if it's a software or hardware problem. I think is hardware issue because when i take a screenshot the pixels are good in the image.

My device is a OnePlus6 A6000 with OxygenOS 9.0.2. I have the device just two weeks and this begun three days ago. Also the build number is ONEPLUS A6000_22_181026.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] galaktiker:
Hi everybody. I bought a very strange HTC 10 at ebay. Could you please help me to understand the phone's history? the photos of the IMEI/Serial and Download Mode ara attached:

1) After checking IMEI and Serial Number I can see the next:

Source: https://imei24.com/warranty_info/HTC/

Customer Description	T-MOBILE USA

Country	USA

Lock status	locked

Warranty start	2016/05/09

Warranty end	2017/08/09

So the phone is old/renewed. Or at least was bought in the USA at 2016 - like T-Mobile phone.

2) After checking info in the Download Mode I can see the date "January 2, 2018". What is it? The date of selling? Or just the date, when the phone was first turned on?

3) In the download mode I can see the CID "htc _pmewl" and "OS - 3.16.617.2". They mean, that the phone is unlocked. But IMEI shows that it's T-Mobile phone. How to explain this?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
Regarding your third question, it means the phone software was modified to turn it into Unlocked. Most likely it was a T-Mobile device, and the seller changed the cid to Unlocked and installed that software to it. Do you have s-off? It should tell you in download mode.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] galaktiker:
I did have S-On when the phone is arrived. But then I manually unlocked the bootloader (with htcdev website) and got S-Off (via sunshine). May be you know what does the date "Jan 2 2018, 18:22:58" mean? Is it the date when the seller change the cid of the phone?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
I'm fairly sure that date is when the software build was made. I have the same date on mine (U.S Unlocked)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] galaktiker:
Thanks, now I see. Are you familiar with T-Mobile practice of selling subsidized smartphones (for example "subscribe for 1 year tariff and get a smartphone for just 70 USD")? After that it's very easy to unlock them and to sell at ebay as normal ones.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
Yeah I used to buy only subsidized phones in the past, but the long contracts were annoying so with the 10, I bought it outright and I'm loving the freedom of not being tied down to a single carrier for a year or two.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] galaktiker:
But those people, who sell new subsidized phones at ebay.com are obviously not tied by their carrier. So there's a method to buy a subsidized phone (or a lot of subsidized phones) and immediately say goodbye to the carrier :)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
I believe most of those people are buying used/refurbished/firesale phones and modifying the software to make it look like it's a brand new Unlocked one. I've seen countless threads around here with people asking about a 10 they've bought on ebay and which has conflicting software version numbers. Tons of them have been Sprint (CDMA) variants being sold as Unlocked, and I'm assuming they're either refurbished or they were originally purchased when Sprint was liquidating their 10 stocks at a low price.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] paddymcg1:
I bought a HTC 10 "Unlocked" in Camellia Red from eBay that was apparently factory sealed. It came in shrink wrapped packaging in what looked like the factory box. Upon closer inspection, the box had spelling mistakes and accessories that didn't ship with the 10, for example, a 1AMP wall charger and earphones from the M8. The phone is genuine but the bootloader was unlocked and the setup wizard had already been completed, minus a Google account

Downloaded a so called STOCK ROM from online and Flashed with a clean FORMAT + DOWNLOAD then got BRICKED with NO SCREEN LIGHTING, just a single tap vibration continues with an interval of 2-3 seconds. Which shows us that it wasn't the exact rom. So I tried another link from another site, still NO CHANGE at all...

So All I need is a working rom for my NOKIA 1 TA 1056 MT 6737M. Please help me source a genuine one. PLEASE :crying::crying:

[Nokia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] hikari_calyx:
First of all, NEVER PERFORM FORMAT ALL + DOWNLOAD without backup unless you know what you're doing.

FORMAT ALL + DOWNLOAD will lose your SN and IMEI, which is not a good sign.

I own Honor 8x and using it since last one month.

Device is gorgeous in terms of looks.

It is beast in terms of performance as I play PUBG daily no lags and frame drop.

RAM management is decent.

Network is great VOLTE works great and wifi too.

Now comes to main part which is important to all is CAMERA.

Rear camera is great but it can be more improved through OTA.

Front camera is great in detail capture but it looks weird when portrait mode on.

Edge detection can be improved in both rear and specially needed for front.

When two or more people there for selfie portrait shots looks rubbish.

Overall great device.

Improvement needed for Camera specially front and improve algorithm can be improved for edge detection via OTA. Also need to activate EIS for both camera.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] ZohanRash:
I love my honor for various reasons

Pros:

1. 6.5-inch Display(Edge To Edge display)

2. Build Quality Design

3. Kirin 710(Is a Beast)

4. Battery Life

5. Camera(Night Mode)

This are the major pros of this device. For the price point, you can get a powered phone with a sleek design. Compare to all android skins Huawei skin is the lightest skin and the fastest.

And yes there are some cons also for this device as a review I should mention that also s here are the cons.

Cons:

1. EIS is not there

2. Type C

3. Front Camera is average.

So this are the cons of this device I just wanted to mention it.

As a whole, I love this device and at that price point, I would say it is 'Budget Killer'.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] dbsamin:
The Honor 8X has one of the largest displays we've seen so far on a Honor device, sporting a 6.5-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD (2340 x 1080) panel. There is a notch at the top of the display — as is becoming the norm — but it is narrow enough that it isn't annoying. Like the Honor 10, you get the option to hide the notch in the display settings.

The panel itself is quite decent, offering vibrant colors and great contrast levels. You get the usual features that are standard across all Honor devices — a blue light filter and ability to adjust the color temperature

— and there's also the option to reduce the resolution to 720p to conserve battery life.

It also offers a face unlock feature that works reliably in both well-lit and dark environments, and it's just as fast as using the fingerprint sensor.

There's the obvious AI-assisted feature that's now standard across all Honor phones, and you also get a Night Shot feature that lets you take better photos in low-light scenarios. Up front, there's a 16MP shooter with the usual slate of beauty effects and filters.

[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] MobyDuhFreak:
First of all let's start with the looks of the phone, It looks absolutely beautiful and stylish, when I hold it in my hand it feels like a top of the line premium device. The glass feels extremely smooth to the touch and although I like the looks of the phone I will most likely use a case on it since I tend to have sweaty hands.

Although It's nice to have such an elegant device for such an affordable price.

The beauty of this phone doesn't stop at the exterior, in fact it packs quite a punch on the inside with the highly powerful octa core kirin 710 with cores clocked up to 2.2 GHz! And it's also built using the highly energy efficient 12nm manufacturing process coupled with a beefy 3750mah battery you are guaranteed to easily achieve 2 days of battery life with regular usage so you don't have to worry about your phone dying in the middle of your day.

I also like to game sometimes, I've been playing pubg and asphalt 9 and some other graphically intensive games and the phone managed to run all of them without any frame drops or lag, also the phone rarely heats up and even when it does, it's after long sessions of graphically intensive applications.

The cameras are an absolute delight to use as well, both front and back cameras have everything a flagship device camera has and portrait mode looks stunning with really good edge detection.

I'll finish this review by saying that this phone is a really good bang for your buck and you won't ever regret buying it, it does everything you expect a flagship to do, somethings even better.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] Suraj10k:
Great phone for a great price

The honor 8x is the successor to the popular honor 7x.

Software :

It runs huawei's emui 8.2 out of the box. Emui 8.2 definitely does have a bunch of extra features that you don't get on stock android, but if you Prefer stock android you probably won't enjoy emui too much as it is one of the more heavily skinned versions of Android. Emui 9 will probably be the phones last major Android update (not including security patches and minor feature additions). However if you like emui you are sure to enjoy the software experience of the phone.

Hardware :

In the hardware department it is in no way a reflection of the budget price tag. It has 6 gb of ram (can hold many background apps) and it uses the Hisilicon kirin 710 processor.

Screen: it has a 6.5 inch ips panel with the widely used notch design.it looks similar to many flagship.

Its resolution is 1080 X 2340.(1080 p full HD)

Battery:it has a 3750 mAh battery. It should easily last you a full day but from my personal use I still found my self charging it overnight. It should last you about a day and a half on average usage.

Camera: it has a dual lense system with on 20 mega pixel primary sensor and a 2 mp depth sensor. It has good photos but in my usage the portrait mode dosent seem to always work so well especially in low light despite the second sensor. However it has an option to record videos is slow motion upto 480fps (which is insane). The slefie camera is a 16 mega pixel sensor that shoots good photos but has the same issue with portrait mode in low light.

I have a few personal thoughts on the phone based on my usage that not everyone might experience.

1) flashing a rom to get stock android feel is much harder no as honor closed their bootloader unlock code service. However you can still get one at a huawei supplier in your area.

2)emui is feature packed and certainly has a few features I miss in stock but it just takes longer than I would. Like to get updated to the latest build of Android. Also only 1 major os update. Makes the phone feel outdated very quickly.

3)i personally am Loving the build quality of the phone. It feels really high end due to the glass design.

Finally I would say that it's a great phone that is for most people 100% worth the price. If you don't mind the software you are getting a phone that almost feels and runs like a flagship for less than half the price.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 8892904:
To the people who saying software is good or doesn't matter, I'd just like to say that software is half of the phone and the whole experience of the phone depends on the software. Example? Here's a simple one. Your phone has a bad camera. Just download a ported Google Camera for your device and compare the performance. I have a 6X. On stock EMUI 8 it was nothing short of terrible. The OS would kill any app as soon as I left it. The result? I'd miss notification. I wouldn't get a single notification untill I opened the app. EMUI is bloated. Don't get me wrong. There are several features in EMUI that I personally loved and miss in my Stock Android Custom ROM. Example is the ability to turn off the Hotspot after a set amount of data has been used and the navigation dock. But the other things are too irksome. Like I can't change the default launcher without it either crashing or me getting a notification every few hours to change back to default. Similarly I sideloaded a few APK's. Every time I turn on my device I was greeted with a screen prompting me to uninstall them. So in the end I flashed a Pie Custom ROM (AOSP Extended by [MENTION=7019289]DarkJoker360[/MENTION] to be exact) and I'm loving it. I can customize and theme my phone with and without substratum. There are a ton of customization available and phone is smoother than it was on EMUI. So if you can, I'd definitely recommend you to take that route. You won't regret it. And speaking of EMUI it has very slow updates. So I have a bad experience with EMUI. Other than that I really love Huawei/Honor phones. They are cheap and good. Even my old 6X can play modern games fairly well.

Other than that is the small, small problem that Huawei no longer provides bootloader unlock codes and that's a deal breaker for me. Really bad choice.

[MENTION=6863373]XDARoni[/MENTION] can we get another limited Bootloader unlocking for XDA users? I really want to unlock the bootloader of my Honor 10
