[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Reptorian:
Hi, there's some couple of questions I have with some comments on some of them.

First of all, I have heard that installing customing OS is the same for Oneplus 6 and Oneplus 6T. Could it be possible to install LineageOS on the OnePlus 6T?

Is there something missing? Something about the A/B seem to hint that there's probably something I should be aware of.

That's pretty much the few question I have. From what I see so far, it doesn't seem to be possible to install LineageOS on the OnePlus6T.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] OhioYJ:
You may have missed the AOSP thread here in the 6T section. Yes you can install the OP6 Lineage to your 6T, the fingerprint sensor will not work. I ran the OP6 Lineage for a few days, and everything else for the most part just worked. You need to follow the directions exactly in the AOSP thread.

You will have to use the Bluspark OP6 recovery, the 6T recovery will not work. Then install Lineage. I did not have any sound from anything at first. In fact even apps that tried to play sound like VLC would crash, not sure why, once I installed a custom kernel, everything was good to go.

Here is the AOSP thread

Also note there has been a successful test build for the 6T. It's not been released yet though, so Lineage is being worked on. Just give it time, this is still a new device.

I did a Benchmark on my sdcard.

and it is only 60MB/s Read and 48MB/s write.

At my pc these numbers are almost the double.

did a format to fat 32 though, just before installing to moto g6 plus

could that be the reason?

When you use the card in your pc you are natively reading the sdcard through your computer's hardware. When connected via mtp the phone itself does the processing of reading and writing and plays middleman.

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] HumidSting:
Hi all.

Was able to pick up a Z2 Force to use as a work phone, and had a couple of questions. It is originally a Sprint variant, and comes with all the Sprint bloat. I was able to flash a precompiled firmware designed from switching from Sprint to T-Mobile, and while it works, it has all the T-Mobile bloat on there. My current situation is that I'm planning to use it on Mint mobile, and want to flash it with the retail firmware and have it unlocked for use on Mint. My only issue is that there seems to be a lot of confusing information on what to flash and what not to flash in order to do that. Is someone able to clarify what can/needs to get flashed to get retail and what needs to get done to have it carrier unlocked.

Thanks again.

Hey HumidSting do you have a guide I could follow for how you converted your Sprint Z2 to a T-Mobile? I was trying to convert mine to Verizon or ATT and was not able to get past the setup process.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Sipuli2:
As we know, the android 9 disabled non root call recording access.

What would be the best approach for rooting for this particular use scenario? The usual oem unlock -> custom recovery -> magisk?

Is there still a way to encrypt the storage after all this? I did search around quit a bit and got mixed results. Some security would be nice in case of loosing my phone. And how about the actual recording software, my old phone had boldbeast installed and it appears to be supporting the (rooted) 6T as well.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] herrlip2000:
Hi guys,

Can you help me?

I synced my T-mobile Vario 3 for the very first time with Outlook 2003 on Windows XP. Done the usual install and plugged in device. The sync wizard appeared and ticked all PIM info contacts calendar ect ect - it stated that all was synced and connected. Went into outlook and no info was there. Disconnected and checked the partnership on the phone and noticed only files were ticked as an option to sync. Re-plugged the device into the PC and said syncing and it wiped my device of all my contacts and calendar entries. Its like the partnership removed options from the phone partnership after first contact was made and when I disconnected contacts and calendar became unticked in the options and second connection deleted them off the device. I see this happening with WM6 devices, this is happening quite regular on my friends MDA touch plus. Any ideas on this guys?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bapssystupr3m3:
hmm did u do a pimbackup on ur phone before syncing? cuz if u did u can always restore it back to ur phone...and outlook shouldnt delete any contacts...play around with the settings
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ryncppr:
The settings on activesync are defaulted to put whatever you have on your computer onto the device.

I use Vista so its a little different, but you need to go into settings and make sure you have activecsync to replace items on the computer and not on the device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] herrlip2000:
Response

Thing is there wasnt anything on the PC to begin with, its like the partnership that was set on the wizard didnt take because when I disconnected the device and checked the partnership on the device after I lost everything Contacts and Calender and tasks changed from ticked to unticked on its own. So when I reconnected it wiped the details off the device because they were unticked as this is what happens if you untick an option in the partnership and re-sync. However i never unticked these, it happened on its own, decided to replicate and it happened again tonight.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] branko.savic:
Always backup "pim.vol" before doing anything!

And that is why I never use outlook!

Next time, before experimenting with anything make sure you copy the "pim.vol" file located in the root directory of your device, that is the file that contains all your contact and calendar info!

Then if something like this happends again you can just copy the file back to the device and do a soft reset, and all your contacts and calendar info will be back!

Also the file is only about 3 to 400 kb so it is really no sweat to copy!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] herrlip2000:
Thats a great idea - I didnt think of that - are tasks part of this file also? One other thing - Do I copy the pim.vol file onto the PC or put it somewhere else on the device such as documents folder on the MDA?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] branko.savic:
I am not sure if the tasks are a part of that file, have to test that first :-)

To be sure I would recomend you to save at least one copy of the "pim.vol" file to your PC, that way if something should happend to your device you still have it!

Also, you can copy the file to other wm5 and wm6 devices and get all your contacts to that device too!

It is a much quicker way of transfering contacts to othe devices then to copy one contact at time! And all your contact pictures is imbeded in the "pim.vol" file, so you will still have the contact pics without having to copy the pics too!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] herrlip2000:
Response

Mmmmm... Just tried that - Went to Start>File Explorer>My device seen a file called pim without a file ext around 648k it allowed me to copy it to my documents on the device - then tried to replace it after deleting all contacts off for an experiment and got the following error when trying to copy the pim file back to where it was. Cannot copy pim access is denied - Be certain that there is enough free storage memory, that the destination is not write protected or not in use.

Any ideas?

Cheers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] branko.savic:
Oh yes, that will happend becouse windows is using the file!

What you need to do is to simply rename the "pim" file to something else, let´s say "pim1" then you can try it again!

Remember that you have to reboot your device before you can see the contacts again!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] herrlip2000:
Response

Is there anyway I can transfer that file to my PC so I can hard reset the device and then transfer it back to the PC or is my only option is to copy it to the memory card for safekeeping so I can wipe the device and then restore the file?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] branko.savic:
As I mentioned before you can copy the "pim.vol" file to your pc, then you will be able to restore it if you have to format your device and even copy to another device so you can have your contacts there too!

Also "pim.vol" holds all your contact pics, so you dont have to take new pics again or even copy the pics if you only use them as contact pics!

You can copy the file using activesync or if you have a card reader you can copy the file to your memory card and to the pc from there!

Hope this helps!

Hi,

After a few hours of tries.. I decided to ask for help..

I have this Huawei Mate 9 MHA-L29C636B172 that I want to upgrade to OREO.

I tried couple versions via manual OTA and each time the update fails at 5% of the installation.

(I used this guide)

I would appreciate for some help in the matter.

First, is it possible to OTA upgrade manually without unlock the bootloader?

Second, which version do I need to upgrade to ?

Thank u,

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Wiggums:
I ran into that problem with a cheaper generic monitor and a cheap adapter. At first, I had the cheap XtremePro (generic from Amazon) and sometimes my monitior showed 480p, sometimes it was 1080p. It was weird, I had to plug it in the Samsung TV (1080p) and then go back to my monitor, it would correctly show as 1080p. When I changed the generic monitor to a Samsung, now it shows 1080p. But the adapter didn't allow me to plug it in and recharge my phone so I went out and bought a new adapter that does a great job.. recharges phone AND shows 1080p.

https://www.amazon.com/iSmartGo-Multiport-Converter-Charging-ChromeBook/dp/B076Z23HRX

LG monitor, depends on the age, sometimes it doesn't read the phone very well or it could be the adapter itself. Upgrade the adapter to the one I recommended before changing the monitor.

It seems a problem on p20 pro hdmi management.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] RakoPL:
Hey, so I wanted to install TWRP on my S8, I have flashed it via odin, and I have experienced a bootloop - I think no worries, I'll try to flash stock firmware - Well...

I did try so - apparently bootloader was "newer?" so I skipped BL section in odin, I did the rest - it flashed BOOT, and then failed at next stage...

Now my s8 won't boot even into download mode - and it says:

"An error has occured while updating the device software.

Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software" Thing is - the smart switch software doesn't recognise my device.

Am I hardbricked out of my S8 - or is there still hope?

Thank you very much in advance!

I am downloading a new stock firmware and I'll see if this one works.

Hey, so I have managed to fix the bootloop via just downloading a newer stock firmware for international model (g950f) and flashing that through odin - seeing as the phone now booted up I decided to bite the bullet again and downloaded latest twrp again - flashed it and this time it worked 100%, flashed magisk and now I am rooted, I guess that was a false alarm, but I got into a quite a panic mode when the previous stock firmware wouldn't flash.

It's solved now, so cheers!

Quad High Definition (QHD) screen is expected.

Depends what the price will be and how the SD855 stacks up against the SD845, We know their claims are all marketing speak so could be a minor upgrade and 5G is gonna be for early adopters only. Carrier won't be truly ready till like 2020 and Prices will be sky high for 5G plans

Is there a wait time to use OEM Unlocking on the Sony XA2 on Android 8.0? Some vendors require you to wait 3-7 days from first boot.

Under the Service menu it indicates I can unlock my bootloader. However "OEM Unlocking" is greyed out in developer options.

I connected to the internet and it is still greyed out. Do I need to insert a SIM card inserted or do I create an Xperia account?

(Also does anyone know what service runs when you click OEM unlocking, is it a Google or Sony application? Can I check logs somewhere?)

You may have to put a SIM card in, my Sony Xperia XA2 had a pre-loaded Tesco Mobile SIM in it when I unlocked my bootloader.
