[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] invisiblewave:
It will work internationally whether it's a global edition or not, there's no difference in the bands between the Chinese and Global variants. The software is different, however. The Chinese software works fine in the US, but you have a bit of work to do to get the Google apps on it. The other issue is if the seller is buying the Chinese variant then loading the Global software and relocking the bootloader, because if you subsequently install an official update, you will hard-brick your device. Having said that, I can't think of any reason why sellers would be bothering with that now that the Global version is readily available, at least the more reputable ones. Gearbest always clearly mark their devices on the website as either Chinese or Global. I suppose if you wanted to be absolutely sure, you could buy from a European retailer, assuming you don't want the 8/256 model. The other option, of course, is to unlock the bootloader and (optionally) install an unofficial rom, that way you also get regular Android security updates.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] PWn3R:
I would recommend spending the extra to get the 8/256 if there is any chance you are going to get a "chinese" version. The "global" version is *supposed* to have all the bands enabled on all storage/ram configurations. However, the chinese version only has full band support on the 8/256 device. It is possible that we may be able to find a way to use QXDM and stuff to enable additional bands regardless, but I wouldn't count on that. I spent the extra to get an 8/256 which now has the leaked global rom on it. The global software works great and I have atleast equivalent coverage to my work Pixel 2 XL, usually with slightly better signal levels.

I have no complaints about this device, the only thing I have noticed is it seems that the glass is not as hard on some units. I bought my wife an 8/256 device and she is not exactly gentle on her device. Her screen has no scratches, but mine has many already after about 2 months, and I'm pretty careful with my devices. And to be clear, these are light surface scratches that are only visible when tilting the device with the screen off, not something you can see with the screen on.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] i killed tupac:
I have T Mobile. I get better reception on Mi Mix 3 than I got on both my Note 8 and my iPhone 7. I know this because there's a spot I park every day and the MiMix works there when the others didn't.

I got 96mbps on 4G LTE when I tested it.

Of note: I did have an original MiMix 1 and it was not good for reception. At all. But the 3 has something like 42 bands in, and it has the best reception of any phone I've had.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] GTSoul:
So I just want to confirm. If I buy a mix 3 in China and then flash itd to a global ROM (e.g. EU) then I should have no issues using it in the US (I'll be on T-Mobile).
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] megazone23:
There is a serious problem to me not sure if it's because of Mi MIX or TMobile combination (Los Angeles area)

Same problem on my wife's MIX 2S and my MIX 3, both official global version and latest firmware.

When the phone is on wifi, even though the mobile connection looks connected, it might have been disconnected actually.

No call and message will come through. People's calls will go to voice mail.

You will not know that until someone tell you they can't call you on the phone, or when turning off wifi suddently all missing text/MMS messages will arrive.

I'm still searching on more information on this and if some others have the same issue.

One of you friends used to have similar issues using a Samsung Galaxy on TMobile before he switched to iPhone.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] kirschdog1:
Working great here in MN on T-Mobile no issues at all. I have the global edition.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Rockmadeofrock:
It works for the most part on Verizon (a carrier which doesn't technically support it), the only issues I have are with MMS messaging (which is fixed in another thread) and my mobile hotspot which Verizon seems to be unable to turn on properly. Other than that I haven't had any issues. I would imagine on a GSM carrier like T-Mobile you would see even fewer problems, if any.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Matt0817:
How did you get it to work with Verizon? I entered my IMEI and it isn't compatible.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Rockmadeofrock:
All you need to do is pop in a Verizon SIM card and change the APN settings and it'll work. Sometimes the SIM card won't let you change them (because Verizon locks them down), but that didn't happen to me. If that's the case, grab someone else's SIM card that has like T-Mobile, put it in your phone, add a new APN, then put the Verizon one back in and select the APN you made. I detailed the settings you need to set in these posts: _1_, _2_. If you need any additional help let me know.

Also, if you want to enable VoLTE check out this thread.

Does anyone know what would cause system to drain so much battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:
i had the same problem, man it's nasty i could not figure out what is was! i tried everything hard reset safe made etc.! Nothing would fix it.. i was so lucky i phoned Samsung they go it’s a hardware issue and the only option is replace the phone this was on the 30th day I rang them!

Samsung offer within 30 days swop, so i got mine swopped it’s perfect this one! Best thing is ring Samsung as they also offered me a battery replacement.. i told them to do one, as I didn’t want a battery replacement they didn’t like me saying that..

i got a brand new sealed replacement phone off them (not refurb) But if you ring them, they will replace the battery for you! That’s the best route you got!

Also make sure you take pics of your handset before you send it off, as there are clowns working at Samsung repair centres.. Some user have had damaged NOTE-9 returned to them so you got proof if you do get some damage on your phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] dpalmer76:
Thanks, I will do so tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Valerie Green:
Battery is not upto mark

Samsung battery drains fast as their apps eat up a lot of data and power. Samsung needs to improve over this part. My best friend has Samsung Galaxy Note 9, and he is not happy with the phone, and he always carries a power bank along with him.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:
Get your best friend to ring up Samsung and get the battery replaced! 2 year warranty Samsung smartphones come with!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Unfortunately,it's not a cut & dried/one-size-fits-all situation & neither are the solutions.

However,there is a lot to consider before resorting to seeking Samsung to just replace your phone (I seriously doubt they would w/o a LOT of trial & error before doing so).

With that said,there's a lot of apps/services that are intertwined with Android System.

Most are going to be either Google OR Samsung apps that are pre-installed.

Check the battery optimizations,optimize those that don't need to be on 24-7 or,rely on for push notifications.

Also,check background data usage on a per-app basis,most apps really don't need this,less those that you use &/or rely on auto updating/push notifications.

There's plenty of other battery life threads here,feel free to take a look around,I'm sure you'll glean some useful information from 'em.

Hi guys. Let's see who can help me with this puzzle:

Every night before going to bed, I turn off my phone and plug it in to its oem charger so that when I wake up I can start with a full battery.

But this morning I found that not only did my phone did not charge overnight, but instead it was COMPLETELY discharged.

I understand that maybe I didn't plugged it all the way in or whatever and so it didn't charge, but why was my battery completely dead? My phone was off and nowhere near being discharged just a few hours before. Why did that happened?

Hello, I hope not to break some rule by publishing my question here.

what happens is that I have installed the modified whastapp application (GBWhastapp), and when I give the voice command "send WhatsApp message to JUAN", the Google assistant tells me: "the WhatsApp application is not installed or needs to be updated. " and I understand that the google assistant detects that the application has a different name than the original application (WhatsApp) and that is why it does not send messages ... it occurs to me that, for example, if editing the application in the file (manifest.xml) changing the name, that will make the google assistant now if they will allow me to send messages when I say the "voice command". What methods do you advise for the google assistant to detect this modified application?

[HTC U Ultra Questions & Answers] oesiblah:
Hi all,

this may be helpful for all that have similar problems as I had.

After experiencing with custom ROMs, I wasn't able to boot into System and also not into Recovery anymore (ended in a bootloop).

Because I tried to flash back to a Stock ROM via RUU I also relocked my bootloader and unlocking wasn't possible anymore because the unlock option was not active and not accessible without a system.

Unfortunately there's only the Nougat RUU available and I previously had Oreo installed.

As I also have S-ON, it's not possible to flash back to the Nougat RUU.

I was only able to access the phone in bootloader mode and with fastboot.

Prerequisites:

You should be able to access your phone via fastboot, so the correct USB drivers should be installed on your PC

How did I solve this:

I downloaded the following RUU.exe from US HTC website - I'm not able to post links, but you can find it via Google: HTC U Ultra Firmware Update

Start it and go to "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp" (on Windows 10), there you can find a temporary folder of the RUU.exe, for example {50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B}

You can find some files like adb.exe, htc_fastboot.exe, rom.zip, ...

Copy the folder to any location you want and close the RUU application

I then downloaded the Oreo OTA zip for my phone from androidfilehost (Thank you minhnewpro :)) - see: https://xdaforums.com/u-ultra/development/ruu-collection-htc-ultra-nougat-t3830999

Unzip the OTA and copy the firmware.zip to the previously copied folder from RUU (here: {50F2F878-636A-496F-A7CB-544C067E0C4B})

Start the phone into Bootloader or Download Mode and connect it to the PC

Open the commandline on the PC and cd to the copied folder from RUU

Enter the following Commands:

htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU​

htc_fastboot flash zip firmware.zip​

htc_fastboot flash zip firmware.zip​

htc_fastboot flash zip firmware.zip needs to be done twice, in the first run I got the following error: FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately )

The second time it went through without any error.

Now my phone works again and has the Oreo Stock ROM installed!

I hope this method also works for other phones and not just mine :)

Greetings

Hi. After an upgrade to emui 9.0 and Android pie 9.0 everything was pretty darn smooth.

That is, until, my bank updates their app. Then this:

[IMG="****"]https://i.imgur.com/S24PPe4.png[/IMG]

However, this Phone is clean. As you know you must have the damn bootloader code from Huawei to modify this thing, I never got that far, so I could never do anything to the Phone.

The old app works just fine, and due to my work i have an app for atleast 7 other Banks as well, so im assuming this bank (my primary bank) has done a boo boo and ****ed up their root check somehow.

The bank of course doesnt believe me.

My question is: What could possibly give this app a false positive root check? Do you guys know about any settings that might trigger it?

Im hoping I dont have to factory reset this thing.

Hey everyone! I'm new around XDA, but i know its a great community!

Well, it looks that its my time to request some help...

Today i got my hands on a Huawei P20 PRO Twingo, the model is CLT-L29 , it came locked by google (FRP), and i tried some stuff i found allover google and YouTube around a bypass that currently doesn't work anymore, because my android versions seems more recent and doesn't have the functionality that i need to bypass the FRP.

Then i started making some more research around the subject and found a guy that could help me downgrading the firmware by fastboot mode, but the device doesnt want to enter on that mode, i turn it off, press the VOL DOWN for a while then i connect the USB, i even tried a different laptop, nothing...

After that i tried to press all the Volume keys with power key... it entered on a screen "EMUI" that says "SOFTWARE INSTALL FAILED! GET HELP FROM xxxx.EMUI COM/BLABLABLA) and says "Reboot system now"...i then press reboot now, and i does a regular reboot and starts up to select language etc, all good... BUT FRP locked...

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Whats going on? Do you guys think someone already attempted to do something on this device? Or its the system locking it for security?

Thanks a lot for your time reading this! Hope to get some replies and hopefully solve this!

Hi, as the title says im looking for a way to keep TWRP while i install the newest stock room for my specific version of the S7 Edge.

I already downloaded the 2GB zip file from sammobile, but that files are made for the Odin installer, and if i install it trough Odin i am guessing TWRP will go away.

tl;dr: Im looking for a way to have MAGISK hence TWRP and newest stock for my specific version of the S7 Edge
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The only way you're going to flash any kind of stock firmware while keeping TWRP is if someone has conveeted your stock firmware into a flashable.zip that can be flashed in TWRP. If there is not a flashable .zip available, you wont be able to do what you're trying to do.

The only other way to flash stock firmware is to use Odin or mobile Odin and they will both remove root and TWRP.

Typically, Samsung devices that are rooted and have TWRP can only update the stock firmware via Odin, mobile Odin, Kies or SmartSwitch. This removes root and TWRP which means those users have to root their device again and flash TWRP again.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] fishyx:
Been using Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth streamers in my vehicles for a long time with lots of different phones including a few other Motos with zero issues. The Z2 Force connects just fine but there is some serious delay skipping songs and going back. I'm talking 1-2 minute delays!!! Also, the Z2 will start playing music all by itself after I've been out of my vehicle for a while. I've tried a few different music player apps with the same results. Any ideas on how to fix this or should I just sell my Z2 Forces and go back to my trusty LG-G6's and Huawei Mate SE's?????

I should add that this is an At&t Z2 on Android 7.1.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Ace42:
Why haven't you upgraded them to Oreo? It could very well be a firmware, or even hardware flaw. For instance, the G5 is known for bad GPS and the solder for the 6P's big cluster can detach over time. I own 2 ZFs but rarely use BT outside of transferring small files.

I'd appropriate it, if anyone would be willing to help me out with my issue.

I have a LG G2 D801, 32GB.

Had it ROOTED, TWRP Recovery, and Lineage OS 14.1 running perfectly just fine. Until I recently tried to Flash Lineage OS 15.1, which then caused my phone to completely go into a black screen with a dead Android Robot having a exclamation point in a red triangle coming out of it's belly.

Yes, I'm able to get into: Android System Recovery <3e> LRXX22G

- Tried, Reboot System Now and it loops right back into the Android System Recovery <3e> LRXX22G screen. (so that's a dead end)

- Tried, Wipe Cache Partition, then Reboot System Now and it loops right back into the Android System Recovery <3e> LRXX22G screen. (so that's a dead end)

- Tried, Wipe Data/Factory Reset, then Wipe Cache Partition, then Reboot System Now and it loops right back into the Android System Recovery <3e> LRXX22G screen. (so that's a dead end)

- Last but not least, leaving me with the only real option I have left to help fix my phone is the, Apply Update From ADB. (Yes, I tried that one too) Which is why I need your help!

Here's a quick scenario of what happens after trying that last option. (Apply Update From ADB)

-Basically my phone then asks me to ADB Sideload files.

-I connect my phone to my PC. (Windows 7, x64)

-Check my Device Manager to see if it's fully connected, but my D801 connects each time under SAMSUNG Android Phone - AndroidNet Sooner Single ADB Interface. (which I know has to be wrong)

-I go into my CMD Prompt, to access my installed ADB Shell, to search for attached ADB Devices. (Yes, it sees my phone as: LGD801cb55c4e4 sideload)

-I proceed to try to sideload a ROM and after about 30% Signature Verification, Fails causing my D801 to Abort Installation. (no matter what I throw at it, IMG/KDZ/TOT files fail as well.)

Now when it comes to trying the methods listed in: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 to Flash Stock Firmware, I simply can't because my D801 doesn't connect to my PC in Device Manager under Ports or QHSUSB_BULK. (it connects each time under SAMSUNG Android Phone - AndroidNet Sooner Single ADB Interface.

I've also tried SRKtool_2.1_droidth which ends up leaving me at another dead end.

[G2 General] C-Tec.:
Silly suggestion perhaps, but after freaking out for about an hour when this happened to me I ended up realizing I could reboot to TWRP using the hard keys. Honestly, I only mention it because I was trying everything else too. If you didn't already try it (I didn't see it in your description) I think it's the power key and volume down key while it's off and as soon as you see the splash screen, release them both and immediately repress and hold them both until you see TWRP. Just a thought.

I loved that phone!
[G2 General] eazy19d:
Just tried your technique [MENTION=5911536]C-Tec.[/MENTION] Thank you. But that only brings up the Factory Data Reset Screen (to Erase all user data & Restore default settings) instead of the TWRP Recovery screen. (so that's a dead end)

Because, after selecting Yes, Erasing data and Restoring default settings, my phone reboots in to the same loop I started from, as if I never did anything to remedy the situation.
