[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] mascian:
Since the last beta OnePlus (Pie 9 for OP5) have been released, I have continued blocking and rebooting the system (using custom rom principally, but also stock rom).

Recently, I was able to replicate the problem I have with all the new pie rom (I tried LineageOs, Dirti, Omni and even stock); in practice, by opening more applications (8/10 or more) and then turning off the screen, the system freeze (with blue LED on); at other times, reboot instantly.

Can someone help me understand what the problem may be? Eventually, do you have any suggestions?

I state that I format/wipe each partition; here the complete sequence I use to format and install custom roms (a real madness!):

*Format Data and Wipe all

Flash 5.1.3 Full

*Wipe Davilk and cache

Boot OS (to create Vendor Partition)

Bootloader - fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

*Wipe Davilk and cache

OpBeta 22 firmware + vendor

*Wipe Davilk and cache

OpBeta 23 firmware (o latest)

*Wipe System, Data, Davilk and cache

Bootloader - fastboot format userdata - fastboot erase cache - fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

*Wipe Davilk and cache

Flash custom rom

*Wipe Davilk and cache

Flash OpenGapps

*Wipe Davilk and cache

Flash NoVerity

Flash Magisk

*Wipe Davilk and cache

Boot OS (finally :D)

I also attach some tests done with GFBench (the hardware does not seem to have problems)

Thank you, very much.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] mascian:
I could not understand what the problem was; anyway and for now, I solved installing the ROM stock without Magisk (among other things, I had tried different versions: 17 / 17.2 / 17.3 / 18 ... I have always had problems).
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] godkingofcanada:
You made this way too complicated. Download the newest beta on to phone. Get total commander from play store, use it to enter(not extract) the firmware zip and delete the compatibility zip inside. Ensure magisk is on your device. Boot to twrp. Wipe EVERYTHING except internal. Now flash newest one beta, once it finishes flash magisk. It might fail. Just try again and it will work. Reboot. Now you are on pie with magisk and kept twrp. Also magisk is no verity. But you should flash decrypt before first boot if you are gonna go in and play with stuff.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] mascian:
Thanks, but I did that procedure just to figure out what the problem was. Magisk gave me several problems, in the meantime I try for a few days ... then I'll try.

Merry Christmas ;)

OB23 with magisk 17.1 is working fine for me.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] scottspa74:
Apparently the last time this came up in the forums was 2013, I just did a search. I have say, and am curious to responses, I truly prefer lcd on my htc10 or my essential phone. I tried a LG v30, and today just bought a pixel 2 xl, and my wife has a one plus 6t, and I have to say, even though my pixel 2 xl has a higher point than my htc10 or PH-1, the display looks blurry and crappy, same with the one plus 6t, when compared to my essential and htc 10.

What am I missing? Am I crazy, or blind? The entire planet seems to prefer AMOLED, and I don't think they hold a candle to a good LED display, even one of a lesser PPI. Am I nuts? Just curious to hear some others' thoughts.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] tsalta:
You are not crazy i prefer Super LCD as well thats is also the main reason HTC to stick with LCD and making it even better the Latest Super LCD 6 that is in U11Plus and u12Plus is really well made display.

It is true that the Amoled have more crisp colors and consume less power the black is black and so on but in another situation the AMOLED is so crisp that is unreal and to sharp for the eyes it is okay to use it on a regular basis but if you use 5 hours non stop an Amoled led say S9 Plus you will feel the difference that your eyes prefer good LCD for sure and the LCD have more natural colors and have t osay REALISTIC

today tech the marketing is VIVID screen and the people buy it but on the same time we all know that in real let me say you shoot a domato in your Amoled the domato will been even MORE RED than it is on reality so for me this is unreal thats why one of the main reasons as well when you look at photos to see them so crisp sharp like Anime.

It is not so hard or so expensive to put an Amoled screen on a phone like we can see even the middle phone range from China that cost under 200 Bucks are with Amoleds the reason some companys to stick with LCD is because they have other ideas.

Im waiting to see what kind of display the hTC will use in the 2019 flagship.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Dlind:
I personally feel the same as [MENTION=1440689]tsalta[/MENTION] I have had several phones, I just feel like LCD screens just look much more real. I had a one plus 3 before my HTC 10 and I could never replicate the HTC 10s look on a that. Its just impossible. I spent weeks. But I feel conflicted amoled screens offer very good efficiency but after using it to long MY EYES HURT. there needs to be some sort of hybrid creation between led and lcd
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] tsalta:
You read my mind in the future will have some hybrid im not saying HTC will do it for sure i hope but the future is to be the benefits of Amoled with the Benefits of the LCD im sure we are not far from seeing this.

Like i say right now Super LCD 6 it is really well made display
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Faspaiso:
I was under the impression that on Android pie Google would allow all biometrics as options to login to apps instead of fingerprint only.

Is anyone successful with this?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] taniwhatuu:
I'm guessing no as face recognition isn't very secure.

Having said that I use the fingerprint sensor.

Huawei Mate20 Pro LYA-L09
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Faspaiso:
This is not the standard face recognition that most android phones use. This is with a dot projector and infrared light like the iPhone X models
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] addicted2phones:
I think it requires 3rd party developers to implement. Can't really see this happening as only a few phones have the 3d face scanning built in. I mean I think even Huawei doesn't have any apps that uses this technology i.e vault or secure notes.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Jonathan-H:
I haven't tried my banking app yet but google pay uses it.

It is also just as secure as fingerprint and as secure as iphone.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Faspaiso:
It was just my understanding that Google implemented it for Pie the same way as for iOS. The apps for ios is just coded for biometric. No need to specify if it should be faceID or an older touchid phone.

So the apps should just ask for biometric authentication and therefor it should use whatever I has active.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Darkat70:
The app developer would need to code it for FaceID, both my banking apps have settings within the app to use fingerprint login, there would be a setting required to provide faceID login likewise. The same also applies to my phone carriers usage meter, they have only just modified it for fingerprint login.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] jhs39:
There is currently no Android standard for face unlock so using it as an identification for banking apps or making payments would be very insecure. Different Android phones currently use different methods to implement face unlock and some of those methods can be bypassed with a photograph.

I just tried to go through the unlock procedure via the website. However it doesn't accept the OS version I point to. What am I missing?
[Amazfit] Aximal:
All good

tried and everything is fine , thanks a lot

---------- Post added at 02:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 AM ----------

you need to use the amazfit pace or stratos watch os version like this 2.6.4.1
[Amazfit] Saratoga79:
Yes, the unlock system doesn't allow WOS (Watch Operating System) 3.0 ROM versions, so you need to use any other valid WOS 2.0 ROM version like 2.6.4.1 or 2.0.43.1.
[Amazfit] lanch84:
Hi guys,and after this method of rebranding someone flew update OTA? I have information from the resource 4PDA that update 3.2.0.6 arrives for the owners of the global version, but the OTA I have not yet arrived after the rebranding. The question to the topic starter, at the end of the rebranding procedure, do you need to block the bootloader, as in smartphones?
[Amazfit] Nacken:
I have a global version of the Verge and didn't receive the 3.2.0.6 update yet, so maybe just wait a little more.
[Amazfit] Sash!:
Thank you so much!

The unlock code arrived instantly and the flash procedure worked like charm.

Interestingly, the Settings menu title is still in Chinese.

Also, Mi Home, the Maps app and the vo8ce assistant are not there.

Also - quite a pity it is not NFC enabled as advertised back in september.

Going fine until step

echo ***************************

echo 12. Booting temporal root

Then fastboot refused to make the phone reboot. Have to reboot the phone and manual execute the rest of the commands.
[Amazfit] tinn44:
Ota update to 3.2.0.7 install errer
[Amazfit] Saratoga79:
Update to 3.2.0.6 was a Dev/Beta versión so only few people received the OTA. But it's tested that OTA update from 3.2.0.5 -> 3.2.0.6 worked fine.

And what was the output of the installer on that step? Well, If at least you managed to install the stock recovery manually you are good to go.

Do you have the update.zip OTA file on your phone's internal memory or on your watch? Seems to be a around 200MB update.

Btw, did you get any issue when installing stock recovery? OTA update from 3.2.0.5 -> 3.2.0.6 worked fine.

Still no OTA update here.
[Amazfit] apollow2007:
The output of boot recovery is

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 0.349s] FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))

No "booting" message. So I have to manually reboot the watch and re-issue the command again.

May be my laptop environment issue. But I managed to follow up with all the commands manually and finished the flash. The English ROM is much more zippy than the CN rom without the Xiaomi Voice Assistance hogging the CPU. No NFC, Mi Home and map functionality. Not surprise though as those are limited to China market.

So did it OTA anywhere?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] beggar23:
Customized CH did, indeed.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] DuncanV:
Silly question : Would an update, like this one, need to update with previous versions first before upgrading to this one ? I'm asking this because here in the UK, I'm still with the Customized UK 47.1.A.16.20. And I've never had any Pie update available displayed on my phone.

Several versions have been dispatched to other zones in the world, including several for different UK providers but then hang in the middle of the roll out. Plus in the Support > Software section of my G8441, it says in the "Next Android version" sub section : "No new Android version planned yet".

It looks weird, isn't? Not to mention after Sony started to roll out their very first Pie firmware for the G8441, my Xperia Companion said a new Software version was available, with no description, no firmware version number, and when trying to download it, Xperia companion crashed and needed to restart. Few hours later, when opening it again, the 'New Software' notification disappeared. Since then my phone displays "No new Android version planned yet".

Is this related ?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the half off-topic...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] decker39:
I too have the customized UK phone, and nothing here either
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] vofferz:
Does someone know which .sin files to exclude if I want to install the new firmware (I already have Pie) with newflasher but want to keep my existing settings, apps and data?

I know that persist*.sin should be excluded to avoid losing android assets keys and userdata*.sin also I guess by the name. Anything else?

I have an unlocked bootloader with DRM keys backed up and restored with Customized CH 47.2.A.2.33 installed. I also have flashed the secd patch so the phone offers OTA update, but I know it won't work with the bootloader unlocked.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] landsome:
I do not see it if I vpn to Switzerland.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] vofferz:
Updates don't work like that. If you have the CH ROM, you'll get the OTA for that. If you have UK rom, you'll get the UK rom update regadless of the place you are in.

You can manually flash a different rom customization (uk, ch, nordic etc) and then het updates for that one. I don't know if there are some disadvantages doing that though, as some customizations might have specifoc stuff for some countries / carriers.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] landsome:
I do have CH. I flashed CH manually a long time ago, as I was not getting any updates (missed several months) on my DE. I have gotten many regular OTAs since and did a few resets. But I did not get any of the Pie versions. I thought maybe it is actual location...
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] frankie99969:
I'm in the UK boat, I've been a Sony user since the Xperia arc and I've certainly had some long waits for software updates but I can't remember seeing so many versions released without the UK sim free getting any of them. Can't see my next phone being Sony now.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] TheArt.:
From what I am deducting all around the web (Sony forums, XDA, 4pda) just keep Oreo and don't bother seeing the number 9 instead of the 8 in the about section of your phone.

I had the OTA update notification for a few weeks, neved installed and eventually it disappeared because Sony has shut down the updates as of Pie bugs reported in their forums.

I am still on latest Oreo and I am going to keep it until I see a totally polished Pie, and it will take months!

Apart from slowmo 960fps in FullHD I truly do not see any reason to update, because the cons are more than pros.

Sure, security patches will be up to date, but does anyone feel the difference having a few month outdated patches? The security is in the hands of the user.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Dean F:
They are in the early days for Android 9 Pie. And Sony is one of the first companies to release pie updates. It's buggy, which is the usual after updating to a new major android version. The previous version	47.2.A.2.33 was not even completely rolled out before this current version started rolling out. I'm sure the usual rollout schedule will continue as the software matures.

Hi all,

maybe you can help. I KNOW it worked for me before but now it does not.

Dell 27" Monitor. 1440p native. Works perfectly with the macbook pro.

Note 9 + the

Samsung EE-HG950 USB-C to HDMI adapter. The Note9 can do 1440p natively without a DexPad/Station.

Yet now Dex capped at 1080p. I know it did worked before. But now refuses.

I tried 3 different HDMI cables. and 3 different USB-C to HDMI/DisplayPort adapters as well.

No go. I am sure it worked for me before. Dex Resolution grays out the 1440p option.

What should i do?

Does samsung tries to enforce me to buy the Dex Cable now?
