[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] andrepgaspar:
1. I use PE because it gives what it says, pixel experience. No need to flash Gapps or install GCam because already ships with the rom. I tried Lineage, Omni, Paranoid Android and MIUI EU

2. More customization I believe is what distinguish both

3. Same

4. Yes

5. Yes

6. Yes, Magisk module

7. No, no need

8. I just use GCam and MIUI Cam port
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Kciddir:
Thank you so much! About #7 (Gcam not taking advantage of the second camera), are you sure of that? I've heard/read that PF1's camera with Gcam mod might even be better than the Pixel 3 camera itself because of better edge detection given by the second camera, but if what you say is true why did they come to that conclusion. Is theirs just an assumption? Thanks again!

We use VMware AirWatch as our MDM at work.

My device was accidentally wiped, including the micro SD card.

Thus far, the file recovery apps (Recuva, Amazing Any Data Recovery, Lexar Image Rescue) find anything on the card.

Is there any chance of me getting my personal photos and movies that were wiped from the SD card?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] as009988:
To recover personal photos and movies, put the micro SD card into a laptop /computer that you have "Photorec" installed on it. Photorec is part of another program called "TestDisk". I am assuming you are using Linux/ Ubuntu, if not there is a windows version. Google TestDisk and Photorec to read about them and how to install. I have used this program for many many years, it finds files not by looking for files but looking at the data still on the disk. For example, PhotoRec identifies a JPEG file when a block begins with: 0xff, 0xd8, 0xff, 0xe0, 0xff, 0xd8, 0xff, 0xe1, 0xff, 0xd8, 0xff, 0xfe for a step by step cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec_Step_By_Step next time do a backup I am sure you were told.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultravista:
Thank you. I installed and am running Photorec now on my Win10 box.

Hopefully this finds something, the last four apps didn't locate a single file.

I appreciate your help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultravista:
PhotoRec did not find a single file.

As the title says, I want to backup my Gear S3 to the pc instead of Samsung cloud. Cloud storage is not accessible to the user directly and can inconveniently go down and I'd rather have control of data, apps, watchfaces instead of where I am forced to now.
[Samsung Gear S3] Youdoofus:
when you make a backup, does it not store to the phone as default?
[Samsung Gear S3] ReDevolver:
All backups to cloud only

I don't know if it's typical of non samsung phones but the backup mechanism in the Gear software only allows me to backup to Samsung's cloud and there no other choice available to me. (That I can see anywhere)

Mate 20 WIFI problem

Hello friends,

I bought a Mate 20 few days back. Everything is fine except:

1- phone heats up very quick and that too with immense heat with just over 30 minutes of OUBG mobile (but I can deal with it)

2: WiFi problem. This is my main concern. I keep losing my wifi connection on this Mate 20 but not on my Mate 9. Is it a common problem with many Mate 20 users or is it just me?

I have a very good broadband with 1gbit speed. It's awesome and I play right netx to my wifi modem. But I keep losing connection every now and then.

Please advise and help. Thank you.

Kind regards,

Tenzin

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] E_Weiss:
So I was late to root my phone and finally get it to where I like it and now I want to upgrade to Pie.

My question is do I download/sideload the latest system image (Jan 2019) or should I start with the first 9.0 image (Aug 2018) and upgrade to the latest afterwards?

Also, I'm ok with re-rooting, but will the process wipe my phone/apps? For the record, I'm on the May 2018 update of 8.1.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Tulsadiver:
I would download the January full system image, boot into fastboot, and flash flash-all bat. Your bootloader is already unlocked so as long as you edit the flash-all.bat by taking out the -w your data won't be wiped.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] E_Weiss:
Great news! And thanks for the advice. I wasn't sure if every image was able to upgrade (8 to 9) or if I needed to do it incrementally.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] hunfatal:
Hi, I'm thinking about the same. Can I downgrade back to Oreo by flashing an older factory image with flash-all? My bootloader is already unlocked as I use a custom built ROM.

Edit.: Nevermind, I updated and can read that I can downgrade. :)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] numetheus:
First of all let me start by saying that I am using a Tilt on the AT&T network. I have tried, and love the 6.1 ROMs that I have tried so far from Dutty, which is VERY VERY nice. I have also tried another dragon one.

They both have the same issue in common though. They all give me sucky GPS reception. I use my GPS a lot and I constantly get a weak GPS signal message when I am using 6.1. When I use the 6.0 from AT&T everything is hunky dory. So, right now I had to downgrade to the stock AT&T ROM until i get this figured out.

I assume the issue is with the radios? But I am not sure which radio to use or where to get them. Could someone help me?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
There is a ton to choose from. Use the link in my signature and choose your poison. MIght I suggest d/l all of them and save to your SD card and flash until you find the one that gives you what you need.

I don't think so, as far as I know you can't crossflash firmwares from different variants (in this Case N960U or N960U1 to N9600 or vice versa).

That means you have the incorrect base version to install the OTA on top of. While in recovery, look at the very top of the screen, it will show you the build version you are on. You need to be on ARL1 or ARL2, and then flash either ARL1-CSAA or ARL2-CSAA. Any other combination will not work.

Great Job!

So I just completed updating my SM-N960U1 using the steps here. First, I was a bit surprised that I didn't lose anything. All my apps, settings, wallpaper, even Samsung Pay information stayed intact (I have absolutely no idea how that happened...I followed the steps exactly, except that I didn't need to do the cache wipe because the phone went right to the boot loader after Odin finished.) It even connected to my Galaxy watch after the update was complete. Second, I ended up with all of the Sprint bloat (which I expected, but was hoping the pattern would hold and like when I did my SM-N950U1, the install would fail).

Just wanted to say thanks for the guide and Great Job! i'm off to see how DEX mode looks on Pie...

I have a question for anyone that can help me.

I have a tmobile N9 and I upgraded to pie from this thread and all is working well no issues no nothing. Now my questions is if there are more updates from samsung and tmobile rolls out the OTA, will I get that OTA or no?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
TMOBILE Note9 will roll out 1CSAA
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurrupt_1:
All depends if you are in an official beta. If you are on an official beta then yes you will receive the latest firmware via OTA.

If not then no, you will have to Odin back to the latest TMO firmware to receive the OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jguerra213:
I have the update that this thread offer from firmware science (CSAA) I though it was the official firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] boomny:
A lot of people are in the same boat. If TMobile decides to roll out CSAB you'll have to Odin to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jguerra213:
Got it. So right now for Tmobile users just wait it out until the OTA it and see what firmware it is. If its CSAA then it should be good? but if it's different then best to Odin back to oreo and manually push the OTA, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurrupt_1:
That's official ATT firmware that works on TMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jguerra213:
Are you serious? But the OP says that it is Universal firmware for all US carriers that depending on your sim card thats how the firmware will know which carrier you'll be on
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] boomny:
Yes. Yes/or wait until TMobile Odin files get posted and use CSC_HOME during flashing to preserve your data.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurrupt_1:
Exactly, it is universal but it doesn't means it's the official update from TMO that will be sent via OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jguerra213:
SO if I downgrade to Oreo through Odin, would I have to wipe my current data? Or can I just flash it in top of Pie? I really dont want to wipe my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kurrupt_1:
If it's CSAA you can flash over it and keep data with Home CSC but if it's CSAB you will need to do what you really don't want to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
1CSAA is Official OTA for AT&T and Sprint so far been that way since last week , when it rolled out.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Just follow the instruction in the guide. If you want bloat free firmware, then you can use the guide to get on the beta firmware ZRLL. If you don't mind all the Sprint bloatware apps, you can flash straight to CSAA.

Don't flash thr CSA7 in the guide here. It's not the official Pie build. Look for the thread with CSAA in the title and use those files.
