[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] yakovpol:
Do backup everything you have before the attempt! Otherwise you risk to loose everything.

As for your question, that is definitely so! All OTA updates will remain valid for your device. Unless something goes wrong with partition consistency as you have now ;) It gives you a new option to reflash the stock image and even to boot custom kernel without installing it (via fastboot boot ... ). For example, TWRP. It helps to make a full backup.

Unfortunately, Xiaomi did not post two last ROM versions. If you use system encryption, do not flash older version of the ROM in this case, you will not be able to unlock it.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] yakovpol:
Try Mi Flash Tool

Dear konan82, before jumping into risky deal with an attempt to unlock bootloader without loosing data, give a way to Mi Flash Tool. It is an official Xiaomi tool valid for Androidone devices as well. It has an option to flash ROM keeping your storage (data) intact

This evident advice did not come to my mind because I do not use Windows. As I understood, you do. So try it first.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] konan82:
Dear [MENTION=5453333]yakovpol[/MENTION] I would like to thank you for everything.

Finally I've unlocked the bootloader without losing my data using the link that you wrote me :)

After that I've used the MiFlash official tool and run the flash_all_except_storage.bat that reflashed all partitions except data hence I didn't lose my data :)

After that I've launched the update system within the phone and the OTA updates are correctly working again! Thank you!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Antho02:
did it keep anything you had including apps or only the strict data like photo, music, video?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] konan82:
It kept everything I had, including the apps.

It rewrites only system partition leaving untouched data partition hence also applications ;)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] ninetitle:
This is too unlucky for me...

I had followed everything in this post successfully.

trying to update from 10.0.7 to 10.0.8 but stuck and failed...

so I unlock bootloader without losing data...

flashing 10.0.3 using miFlash Tool successfully...

But Android start up at lockscreen and ask for password...

I have never set one, been using pattern and fingerprint all time...

no choice, but to do a factory reset...

Such a pain in the ass now!!!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] titmus:
I updated OTA to Pie last week, since then it seems my charging speeds have got much slower, taking maybe twice or three times as long. Fast charge is enabled in my settings.

This is on all my chargers, wireless, wired and car charger. Anyone else had this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] willhemmens:
Unusual for a software update to cause that, does the phone actually report that it's Fast charging?

Edit: Download Ampere and measure the charging speed. Mine reaches 2540 - 2640 mA at 70% charge on a QC3.0 charger for reference.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] iceepyon:
Try wiping the Cache Parition in Recovery Mode. If that doesn't help, try using a different cable and charger,
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] paul_59:
Occasionally unplug your charger, disable fast charge.

Plug in charger should show lower charge rate maybe 1100 mA to 1800 mA

Then disconnect charger, re enable fast charge, plug in charger,

Should show 2800 mA approximately
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] titmus:
I am never getting more than 1200mA (according to Ampere app). Not with samsung cable, not generic cable nor wireless. Most of the time not more than 500 or 600.

Of course, I cannot compare to what I was getting before Pie update because I never measured the charge then.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] paul_59:
I haven't used Ampere app,

My figures came from

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digibites.accubattery

Although I would expect very similar figures if accurate
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juggalomc:
I replaced screen of LG G4. Touch screen works ok, when phone is connected to charger, however when I disconnect charger, it doesn`t work more than 2-3 touches. It basically doesn`t register touches. Power button sometimes helps to squeeze out few more touches. It`s like somehow screen doesn`t get enough power. Any idea how to fix it? Thanks in advance!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cineq:
I had similar situation when replacing the screen. The seller sent me another one and it has been working fine. So the problem was faulty display.
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] NovaSupreme_7:
After Android Pie update on Nokia 6, overall battery life has been reduced drastically. Even keeping the phone edle has caused battery to drain about 20%. Even with adaptive battery ON, there massive battery drainage when compared to oreo in a given time.

Anyone with same issues and any suggestions for fixes or workaround?
[Nokia 6 Questions & Answers] blackpower91:
I'm facing with quite similar issue as like you, but I haven't able to update my phone, because the battery level stays at 20% even if the phone is on the charger at all day (TA-1021). This problem started 2 days ago. Everithing is official on the device, no mods have made. It's just a year old phone.

Anybody have 5.0, would kindly link me to :D
[Wing, P4350 General] fzzyrn:
what kind of phone do you have?

is it a herald, terra, wing, or some other variation of the herald?

In any case, you can use any of the wm5 RUU, but you have to find a way to remove the SPL.nb part of the rom (I think)

Ivan, itje, or ttran should be able to tell you this, so you them i refer you. Normally, i would also tell you to search in the future, but this is question is relatively abnormal. May i ask why you want WM5?
[Wing, P4350 General] dpraved:
ah cheers for that, its a herald. I just googled what you said, and got this http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=27

What don't you like on WM6?? I'm still using WM5 & been thinking about upgrading to 6.

Be careful when you have an SPL that is lower than 4.0.0.0... in any case, what did you not like about WM6? (Or WM6.1 if you tried that.)

I found it slower, and generally like 5.0 better. But seems i cant find any 5.0 anywhere ..

On first launch, you’ll notice a clean setup with a beautiful wallpaper from Hampus Olsson, who teamed up with us again to create several beautiful pieces of artwork.

Hello guys!!

For anyone looking forward for Arcore for Nokia 6 without rooting, there is a good news for you guys.

if any of you who already install the official Arcore and stickers from apkhere.

Uninstall the official arcore and ar stickers and try this modded one.

https://www.mediafire.com/file/qljj8dljqt72dq8/ARStickers.zip

This has proven to work in my Nokia 6 (2017) with Gcam.

Steps for installation:-

1) Extract the zip file.

2)Install the Arcore apk first and then go to the settings and grant all its permission.

3) Install the ar stickers and do same in the settings and grant all its permission.

4) (Do not open the Gcam) Restart the device.

5) After restarting the device. Open the gcam and select the ar stickers.

6)Enjoy with ar stickers?

For the best results do follow above steps.

If Video is not working in ar stickers , restart the device.

Best of luck guys!?
