When u said the s4 was your last Samsung phone I knew why everything you were saying about Samsung is so outdated. They are not what they used to be. Since the s8 their ui and bloat has been a lot better and they let you disable almost everything now.

Like mentioned in my previous post it's all about preference and what's more important to you when it comes to which phone the individual prefers but looking at it spec for spec, performance for performance, value for money and etc the note is the best phone on the market.

To people like me and you who love stock Android most other things dont matter and we would still buy a pixel 10 out of 10 times . I'm just talking about overall

Also IDK how you're getting sot of 8 hours. I get 5 at best and there are numerous amounts of battery drain threads on this forum so it's not just me dealing with bad battery life. And almost every YouTube battery test have the pixels near the bottom
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shaftamle:
I definitely know things have been cleaned up a little I have an s8 for work. Like you said it's definitely personal preference. But the reason my last Samsung was the S4 is because that was the last one without Knox. I'm not a fan of locked bootloaders. Hardware and performance the note may have a slight edge.the dollar for dollar I'd still go with the pixel. It's a $200 price difference if you bought the pixel at release. If you waited a month it was 600. In my opinion there's no way the note is $400 better. But that's my opinion.

I guess I'm just stuck back in the day when Android was actually a phone that you could make your own. I just don't like how Samsung tries to push their garbage on you with every handset that you buy. But hey to each is own.

As far as battery goes, 8 hours with my tops but I'm definitely getting 7 plus since I got the phone.View attachment 4684621

Get the galaxy... Sad to say day one Pixel owner here Pixel XL 1,2, and 3. And google is falling off hard. Time to jump ship I think for me atleast.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] OkayGK:
Im completely apposite from you. old Galaxy fan boy here but:

When i i turned on and tired P3XL for the first time, i fell in love. Im so vs Galaxy now that every time my brother mentioned ill be jealous of his future S10, im not even bothered.

I think im just too tired of Samsung.

I love everything bout P3. Bezels, display etc dont bother me at all, not one bit.

I love the new Pie, as I mentioned before, for my use this pie gestures fit perfect. Wish it had slide down and up gestures but i fixed it with look alike pie launcher.

I also find myself loving the camera, taking a lot more pictures and keep thinking back to when i bough the phone i didn't need or cared too much for its camera, i just wanted to try stock android but now i cant leave this camera alone.

I think every phone has something great but right now i dont see myself jumping onto anything else.

PS the amount of Galaxy software problems ive went though with all my S model phones im not even going to start mentioning them all but funny enough i bought Galaxy tablet and had to returned it. It had same issue as all my phones did in the past, google maps critical errors all the time. Could never figure out how to fix it =)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Eudeferrer:
I completely hear you. I was the biggest Samsung fan boy for years. So much so that I got my entire family to switch to it. After my last Samsung Note 8, I was so upset the bootloader could not be unlocked and it couldn't be rooted, that I chose to try a different phone. At first everything in me fought it. I felt like I was going to miss out on the Note 9. Now, I just can't bare the thought of buying another locked-down phone without root. I like the idea of having options when it comes to customization, backing up apps and software, etc.. I want my phone to feel mine, not someone else's idea of what it should look like. I too love the amazing camera with nightshot, the call screening and so many other features that Samsung phones will probably never receive or will come a year after its release. I have also noticed that issues with this phone typically get fixed by Google right away (ex. Speaker phone issue fixed in one month). Samsung used to take half a year or more to fix anything even in it's flag devices. Once they had your money, they kind of forgot you existed and just wanted you to buy the next biggest thing. I could care less now for the Samsung S10 or S20 or any other Crapsung phone. At first, I thought I would not like the simplicity of stock Android. Now I can't seem to live without it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] OkayGK:
Yeap.

I told my brother even if it has 0 bezels and in screen camera i still wont get it. The curved screen amazing already and the hardware itself in it but i just do not crave it. Plus i too, had my family switch to Sammy, well, i buy a new Sammy and give my family my other ones. So i turned my moms S7 edge to help her with something on it and as wonderful as it is i didn't want to have anything to do with that touchwiz. Lmao and i never been the type who disliked it, i liked it actually but after using google , no thank you.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 13druber:
I always use Nova launcher, not thrilled with stock launchers.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] OkayGK:
I got so use to stock launcher that i did not want to switch at first.

I miss the 5 home icons in the multitasking menu other than that i got everything and more from other launchers. I forced myself to use Nova as it was something i have always used on Galaxy phones. Got use to it etc but i found another launcher and now im using that one. It doesnt have as many futures as nova but i love it. Its called Lawnchair. Have to download apk for it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] chakra:
I have a note 8 and have the new Samsung one UI, Android 9 beta, and it's really good. Better than my pixel.xl3 if they would just let you unlock the bootloader.

But their new UI is actually really good and fast.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 13druber:
You can't even schedule a message on the pixel XL 3. Nor can you take a scrolling screenshot. Still trying to like my new phone, but it ain't gonna happen. I'll be going back to Samsung after this phone. The battery drain too much, too many dropped calls. Screen is a lot smaller than my S8 plus. I know, I know, at least I get the newest updates from Google. I have a Verizon phone so the boot loader is locked, so it doesn't make any difference from my Samsung. Very disappointed in this phone though.....
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Eudeferrer:
Your experience on a locked bootloader is much more different than on an unlocked one with root. You miss out on the best features/abilites of this phone. This is why regardless of price, I would never buy this phone from Verizon with a locked bootloader. With a custom Kernel you could control battery life, preferences, etc. I see why you miss you Samsung. If I was going to have a locked bootloader and didn't care about updates I too would want a Samsung.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 13druber:
Even with root I wouldn't be happy. I'm just not thrilled with this device.YouTube isn't even centered on the screen either and if you zoom to fill screen then the notch kicks in. Terrible design. Oh well, live and learn. I'll be back to Samsung soon enough.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Eudeferrer:
Not sure about your device but I just tested my YouTube and mine is perfectly centered on my screen. I use the Magisk rooted version with no adds. I don't have notch enabled though, maybe that's why. If your device doesn't work for your purpose/uses, sell it and get whatever works for you. In that case, I would definitely go for a Samsung. There if nothing worse than putting up with a device you don't like it feel unhappy with. For what I do (and I consider myself a heavy user with over 280 apps installed) it works beautifully in every single app. Where my Note 8 used to struggle and run out of battery my 1 pm., this phone rooted lasts all day and runs perfectly smooth. Either I lucked out and got the one perfect phone on the stock or you got screwed and got the bad lemon on the pile. Either way, Hope you sort it out to your liking. Good luck man. Life is too short to be with a bad phone.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shipmate:
At least if you get a Huawei phone it's only at least 3 months between updates. The hardware is great but updates leave a lot to be desired. I know as I have Huawei p20 pro. I suspect Samsung are just as bad.

I also have a pixel 3 XL. Which gets monthly fixes and updates without the bloat.
[HTC U11 Life Questions & Answers] SHA_NDY:
Does anyone have experience with an unlocked HTC U11 Life and MicroG?

I went on a journey trying to get rid of whole Google stuff on this phone, replacing needed services with MicroG (want to use Maps and PlayStore for bought apps). I just wonder which steps have to be taken on the road since we don't have a custom recovery for HTC U11 Life...
[HTC U11 Life Questions & Answers] saturday_night:
I would recommend using this magisk module https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-nanomod-5-0-20170405-microg-t3584928

Should work fine if you are able to deactivate all google stuff and the system still works without it.
[HTC U11 Life Questions & Answers] SHA_NDY:
I already gave it a try but sadly it needs TWRP to be flashed. Got errors on Magisk...
[HTC U11 Life Questions & Answers] saturday_night:
In the early days of this module there was a way without twrp, you could take the official firmware file and extract the system.img, get it from your device or just download one from my collection to your pc. There was a patcher to use on a windows pc for this module especially for devices without twrp, i dont know if they stopped this patcher but it was official from the developer of the module. It patches the system to run this magisk module and you just need to flash the patched system to your device, activate the module in magisk and reboot the device.
[HTC U11 Life Questions & Answers] SHA_NDY:
Sounds nice, I'll give it a try I think. If I extract system.img from my phone and flash it back later will everything be as before? I mean apps and data and so on? Or will I have to restore a backup afterwards?
[HTC U11 Life Questions & Answers] saturday_night:
I cant say something defenitiv. I experienced that i have to reset the device to boot after flashing a system.img but i also know that someone didnt need to reset his device. I think you have to try it, userdatas/apps are on a different partition anyhow so you dont delete them with flashing a system.img the only question is if the new flashed system will boot without a full wipe of the userdatas. But to have a backup is never wrong.
[HTC U11 Life Questions & Answers] SHA_NDY:

[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuhlz:
I got this knowing I have an iPhone. I love the watch (despite the battery life. Any way to help that??) I am trying to find a way to receive my iPhone messages without being connected to my iPhone. I thought ok the google hangouts way will work (I do have a google account) and it says the app isn't compatible with my watch. I'm wondering is there any way I can get my messages from my iPhone to my android piece WITHOUT being connected via Bluetooth?? Calls would be awesome too but I'm just gonna take one step at a time here. I mean, I know you can jailbreak/unlock phones so I was just curious of any way. TIA

3, Any way to customize what shows when I swipe left, right, up, down?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] IO13:
I have a MiA2Lite with bootloader unlocked, magisk installed and update to Pie. If I wanted to receive OTA updates I should

a) remove magisk

b) re-lock the bootloader

c) both

which of the r options?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] hossman:
Do not relock bootloader, if you do you may not be able to recover later- without disassembling Device.

If you mess with the system partition other than a couple magisk modules, you may need to flash a stock image.. but very easy with bootloader unlocked, so again don't lock the bootloader.

There is a guide to temporarily uninstalling magisk for the OTA, and if you follow it will work. Upgrading to pie however you may need to flash the updated boot.img and patched_boot respectively through fastboot after the ota

Again emphasis on not relocking bootloader.

Use titanium backup to backup app data and move backup to external sd before flashing stock image to protect it or before trying the above for easier restoring.

Make you sure you install the latest version for dipper.

It should be 7.OutlyingMindlessGalapagosalbatross version.

Still confuse with the version naming though. [emoji28]

Selfie is working, just make sure to enable beauty mode at least 1. If you disable beauty mode it will not work as of now.

Some known bugs :

1. selfie group feature is still broken (green frame result)

2. Slow motion 120fps is lagging

3. Updating OS with mod installed will resulting bootloop. Make sure you uninstalled the mod before updating. If you forget to uninstall the module, you need to uninstall magisk to make the ROM boot.
