Hello,

first of all, I am sorry for my English, hope you will understand everything.

I made an order from that seller on aliexpress, 12 days ago on black friday.

I was able to purchase the cheaper 6/128 version, plus aliexpress select coupon and a 10$ coupon that i was exchanged for ali coins. was happy about the price at first. later i realize that the option was fake.

He said that he will ship it in 2-5 working days, tried to contact him after 5 working days (7 days after I made the order), he didn`t answer, tried again after 2 days (9 days), still nothing.

the day after that I contract aliexpress customer service, and she told me to request order cancellation, I told her couple of times that I still want the order, but she kept saying that I have nothing to worry about, and the order wont be canceled right away.

So I did listen to her, and did it.

How long it took for Hongkong VT Store to cancel my order? 5 god dam minutes!

It confirmed my thoughts that he is ignoring me, and wont sending my mate 20x.

The seller is not trust worthy, scamming his customer.

Its a shame that ali express allows this kind of behavior from their sellers, but the rest of the story made me understand that ali express customer service is as bad as the seller.

I contract them again in order to at least get the same price on the product, since its their representative that gave me the false information. they ignored it.

I asked them to get the coupons again, he said that he will pass it to the manager. 2 days afterwards got a mail that said that I wont get any coupon, and if I want i can place new order.

Be advised to ali express awful customer, and their cunning seller.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Jerky_san:
Doesn't matter now I suppose but I order from AliExpress all the time and I've found the sellers will wait till the literal last day of their processing time to ship. Then they'll hold on to the package for a long time to. AliExpress gives massive amounts of time so they can **** around like that. Anyways I've found they rarely if ever respond to requests to ship/process faster. I ordered a lipin falcon from their official store and they took so long to ship it I missed black Friday with them since it was the first time buying lipin. Just AliExpress sadly.. also got to watch out for their advertising
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Shakedbuk:
Ya, i had little hope that he will ship it. but due to false information from the customer service it does not matter.

BTW, the processing time was 30 days!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] BigDisplay:
I can only say good things about Aliexpress.

I buy 3 smartphones this year.

All i got send with DHL and took between 6 and 11 days.

So im a happy user in 12 years.

There is always some bad stories to tell for most web sites.

I feel sorry for u with this, its so ****ty when it happens.

I know the seller u talk about, i never buy from them, but i have been close some times, maybe one day i will and i know if something is wrong i can make a dispute and i always have good experience when i make disputes. But luckly it have always been from small orders my disputes.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Shakedbuk:
The question is what ali express customer service do for you when a seller wont comply to his obligations.

95% percent of the my online orders is from amazon, never experienced something even close to that from amazons customer service. they take full responsibility for their actions and commitments.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Shakedbuk:
I think that 4 days it more than enough for a seller to respond to message. Plus, when your customer service gives bad advice you should take responsibility for their mistakes, not the customer.

I made 30 orders on ali express but never had to deal with the customer service, so?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
If i can recommend a seller on Aliexpress, would def be HW Retail Store. I order from this guy 2 Units Mate 20 X and i ask him to send both devices in Original Factory Sealed BOX, No PlayStore Installed ! He did it like i said, i was fingercrossed because i have paid by credit card, but everything was smooth and the seller keep his promise.

Not to mention that before i purchase from HW Retail Store, i have bought 1 unit from WondaMobile and another Unit from Giztop. Worst Sellers ever !

I have ask them to send me Sealed BOX, they promise me they will send it In Factory Sealed BOX... Guess what ? Both phones from WondaMobile and Giztop arrived with Open BOX and fingerprints all over the screen... ! Thanks God i paid by Paypal, i open Dispute and got refunded after i send both phones back to China !

Then i went on Aliexpress and after asking lots of seller about the Sealed BOX, this guy HW Retail Store was the only Seller who was honest, prompt reply and he send me pictures with the Sealed BOX before purchase. So, i can recommend you this Seller on Aliexpress with all my heart... in my case was a smooth transaction and a very pleasant experience to have both units in Original Sealed BOX !

Cheers

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] brunomcf:
Hey guys!

A friend of mine just bought a galaxy S8 in Portugal, and will soon move to Angola, and wants to use it there.

He's done the 5 minute local call, but after it, the device is still not accepting the Angola Sim card.

Any other options to remove it?

Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JeffDC:
I had an S7 from China/SE Asia. It worked OK in the US on AT&T as it was, but I wanted a US (universal) firmware. Eventually I could flash a US universal, or leave the phone OS as it was.

To get the region to change to US, I had to flash the correct CSC package. It took me a few tries at finding the correct CSC, as the CSC had to match the version of the OS (version/number wise, not region wise).

For S8's I can't remember about the issue of minutes or when that criteria became included with the S8's system.

My wife and I both have a pixel 3 and there are numbers times when the assistant is not triggered by saying "ok Google" or "hey Google" while the screen is off. There have even been a few times when it won't respond when the screen is on. Does anyone else have this issue?

And yes, we have retrained the voice recognition.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] georgs_town:
Yes I've had the same issue. Not sure what helped in the end. Maybe a phone restart? or reinstalling the google search app?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Had the same issue 2 days ago on my P2XL. A cache and data wipe of the google app fixed it :good:

Personnaly I've noticed I have to yell the word in order for the phone to wake up. I first thought it was wrongly configurated and wiped the app data several time, until I figured the pixel was a bit deaf..
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jemeljsh:
I have noticed that Google Assistant been buggy during last few days. Clearing storage and cache does help but even when its back working sometimes it has issues making the registered action. For, example, setting alarm/timer gets registered (the text appears in google assistant but google assistant is sometimes slow to read the registered command + even after google assistant repeats the command and says its done the actual action does not following, meaning the alarm/timer is not set and only on second try it gets through. Never had similar issues before. Not sure if its google app or December update, but I did not have any issues before.

No issues with things like Weather reports and reminders though..
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] lolz24:
This kept happening to me last week. My phone was on battery saver which did not turn off automatically after charging. Had to toggle the battery saver and do a restart to have OK Google work somewhat reliably.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
I thought this was just a glitch, but my wife's old phone did this right before we upgraded to the Pixel 3. She burned the food in the oven because the timer didn't get set even though the assistant confirmed the command.

Maybe we should start saying please and thank you before the machines rise against us.

Hey dude, what do you mean of "Without Keyboard"? Sorry if I am missing here :(
[HTC Vox] secable:
so now i try lots of things.

i repare the keyboard. it was from a dll

but i still have a white homescreen.

i must extract the neo plugin from an official rom and try to plug it into a kitchen vox rom

i think i'm not too far:)
[HTC Vox] Rolandh:
I wonder if this is where Microsoft got the idea for the sliding panel HomeScreen in WM6.1?

Roland
[HTC Vox] secable:
the NEO theme is from Microsoft.

T-Mobile ask microsoft to make them a theme.

and they do something beautiful

i 'm working on it :)
[HTC Vox] Rolandh:
I thought I recognized how it scrolled in the You Tube vid. Did Microsoft have anything to do with the Orange Plugin?

Will the NEO theme work in WM6.1?

How come it is leagel to extract the NEO Plugin from a T-Mobile ROM and use it in a none T-Mobile ROM, but we can not leagely do this with the Orange Plugin?

Roland
[HTC Vox] secable:
Sure it's not legal to port it

...
[HTC Vox] briggs81:
Nothing here is legal.
[HTC Vox] Rolandh:
So why is no one willing to extract and integrate the Orange plugin into there own ROM's?

Roland

hi,

i'm still working on it.

But i think i need some help.

is someone interesting to work with me on it ?
[General Questions and Answers] Khaled786:
Hello everyone.......... So lets begin from the starting. I have recently bought an iphone x clone device. I thought it will have good enough hardware compared to its price but unfortunately it only has attractive outlook finishing but inside its really bad. I cant even watch youtube videos because of hang & crash. So I decided to root it and install ram expanding software to create vram which really helped solving the crashes....... But still the device feels laggy so I was thinking about installing a soft custom rom which will consume less rom & ram. I tried to backup my stock recovery and install a twrp custom recovery via different apps like flashify, mobile uncle tool, twrp manager etc. But all of them failed to create a backup or even flash a recovery. I had to try different custom recovery image as my device is clone and not included inside twrp supported device list. I even downloaded my stock recovery from internet (not 100% sure if its the right one but tried my luck as I couldn't collect a backup copy of my stock recovery from adb) and tried to port with other custom recoveries and install it...... But still all I boot into is my chinese stock recovery which is useless for me. After trying 2 days I have done everything I could and couldn't get further than rooting and installing some useful apps to make my device little bit stable. But this isn't enough, I need help now to find correct custom recovery and soft custom rom for my device.

Here are some pics about my device details which will help you get some idea about which device im using. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ieMNTSkgTAIWNn1xNSqg2iCzUPXheEdI?usp=sharing
[General Questions and Answers] Khaled786:
really very disappointing......... its been more than a week and i got no help from a large active tech community like xda
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Lol, it's because you have an unsupported cloned device that has no actual stock source or stock firmware to work with, it has a firmware that has been hacked together. Ask yourself why it has hacked software, it is because there is no real software for this device other than what they hacked together when they made it. I doubt you'll find anything that can be installed "as-is", you'll have to do the same thing the device maker did, you'll have to put your own software together which will require either building a whole new ROM for your device or it will require porting an existing ROM to work on your device.

It is very difficult to identify cloned hardware and very difficult to find compatible software.

And this is a "large active tech community" but most members here don't have/own/use/buy or have experience with cloned devices because we know they are junk, regardless of the specs, we have better sense than to waste our time and money on them.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Ozark_8125:
Hey all - has anyone tried a Qi compatible magnetic car mount to see if it would work with our phones? Not really needing the wireless charging, just wondering if those circular magnetic mounts allow the wireless charging feature to still work with our phones. Would be nice to have an actual magnetic mount that charged at the same time, but not a necessity.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] _xtrim_:
Nope it does not work :( The metal plate stops the wireless charging from working. As I'd rather have magnetic car mount than wireless charging I've just put my Nexus Wireless Charger back to the basement, until I get a car with Android Auto.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] forwardthinking:
Edit: just reread your post and you're asking about a charging mount, which I've not tried. The below still applies.

It works. It all depends where you place the metal plate. I can put mine low enough between the case and phone and still do both. It works fine, but I'd rather have another plate in there to get a better hold on my mount. Sometimes it slides a bit.

What we really need are a couple of metal strips you can put along the sides to reinforce it some more. Take a look at the 3 XL tear down, and you'll see where the charge sensor is. Totally doable. I used https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FZVCPHL/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which has a rubber cover and then a hard backing that snaps in. Placed the plate between those and no scratches :D
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] chrischoi:
If you look at Nato Mounts, they have a circle ring plate. Big thin O. Scosche also have a U shape plate. Those leave a big opening in the middle. You can get one like the Nato Mount for half the price on Amazon. Just don't know about the charging speed.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Ozark_8125:
I'll have to check that out. I experimented in lowering the magnetic plate on my case so that it was able to recognize it was on the pixel stand and charge, but it was only up to 50% by the morning, so it's interfering with the signal still.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] y2k1ltd:
Here's another option, look at the last image, comes with two different magnetic plate options.

[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Joeigel27:
Good afternoon,

I have had a Nokia 8 for a few weeks now and have now found that my microphone only works during calls. While I'm on the phone everything works normally but in all other apps nothing happens, e.g. in Whatsapp you only hear a short crack when you hear a voice message and then nothing, although you have said something (see attachment), also other apps that use the microphone like the Google Home App or a guitar vocal app don't work. Of course the permissions are set correctly for all apps but apparently this has no effect (see attachment). I've already written with Nokia Support, but after 14 mails about permissions, emptying caches and doing softresets they couldn't help me. Finally I was told to wait for the next Android update and hope that my problem was fixed there, or I should send my phone back to the dealer. My hope now is that one of you has an idea what could be the cause of the problem.

Thank you for your time!

Hello to everyone there,

I have next problem on my Nokia 8:

When somebody calls me or when I call someone on viber, I turn on speakers and other side can't hear me. Also when I put it on video call the same issue conitnuous to take. Regular GSM calls or viber VoIp calls works great as well as video calls with headphones.

I open ticket to a viber about this problem, and they told me I need to contact my manufacturer.

Yesterday I installed an Android pie from beta labs, but the problem still exists. How do you think the problem is hardware?
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Joeigel27:
Hi ratola,

you can dial *#*#372733#*#* for a hidden FQC test menu, here you can test each mic seperated, i guess in your case it's the second mic in the top-speaker.

- Joeigel
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] odyon:
Hi Joeigel, unfortunately I have the same issue (and story regarding contacting support). The only way I can make calls via for instance WhatsApp is by using a handfree headset, or setting it to speaker-mode.

Waiting for the Android 9 release, if this isn't fixed with it, I'll send it in for warranty.

I do have another issue with the phone, and that's when I unlock my phone using the fingerprint scanner, 1 out of 4 times or so, the phone enables split screenmode. Do you (or someone else here) have similar experiences. It's quite annoying.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] odyon:
Update: Installed Pie, and no improvement. Issues still persists. Returning the phone today.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Joeigel27:
Sorry for the late response, my phone is also on it's way back to GB...
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] odyon:
Ok, just got an update from the repair-center, they replaced a part and it should work OK now. Curious to see what they did and if it's resolved. Have to wait until it's shipped back. But keep us also posted about your progress :)

Off-topic: another issue I sometimes experience is when I unlock my phone with fingerprint, it sometimes switches automatically to the split-screen mode. It happens quite often and it's a bit annoying. Did you experience something similar with your Nokia?
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Joeigel27:
I didn't experienced something like this. Did they send it back to you yet? Maybe they fixed both... ^^'
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] nagesco:
Microphone issue here too.

Internal mic on front facing camera is the culprit. I noticed a few weeks back that my 'ok google' hotwords were no longer working. This became a problem after I installed the december security patch. I rolled back to the november security patch and this did temporarily fix the issue, after I had gone through the initial setup of the phone, my 'ok google' hotwords worked, until i went to use the camera to see if the issue still existed... unfortunately it does. Contemplating rolling back to july to see if the issue is resolved, or trying to move forward and installing pie.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Joeigel27:
Could any up or downgrade fix it?
