[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] t3chg33k:
I had to make the same decision and went with the A50 because my primary use case was reading and watching for which the AMOLED screen is indispensable. Also Samsung's support so far has been great as 2 updates have been rolled out since my purchase which have improved the camera, fingerprint reader performance to some extent while updating to the latest security patch. At the same time, Samsung's One UI is the best Android interface I have encountered till date.

The Poco F1 is only an option if you need the grunt to play games. It is heavier, uglier, cheaply built, has an issue-riddled screen and MIUI has generally been lagging behind in terms of design and usability for years now. As you can imagine, I don't game on the phone and use an iPhone for camera duties, so those were things that I didn't think about much but might be of significant consideration to others.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] kkarakk:
poco f1 is better in every aspect except screen. amoled screen is waaaay beyond IPS for watching/reading stuff. can't beat real blacks arun!
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] therealroyston2:
Also software. One ui and the display is one of the main reasons i bought the A50.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Sukhi:
Apart from these, there are few other finer details people often overlook. Build Quality, Weight, Ease of Single Hand Use, Quality of components used etc. Xiaomi can for sure derive sales but can never compete with Samsung in quality.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] manos78:
Has the Poco F1 a non-hybrid-try?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] vibranze:
How about the hackability, I believe Pocophone is way better but I saw there's a TWRP for A50 already, sounds promising. :)
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] kkarakk:
sadly their software support seems to be waaay beyond samsung. they take feedback(which samsung never does) and even add requested features(which samsung never will) and improves native features(which samsung rarely does).

MIUI may look oldschool but they packed it full of customizability and update it frequently which i like
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] HTCDevil:
After buying A50 i would like to get Poco F1 more
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] arunraj:
You can't get the awesome display in Poco F1 as in A50.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] HTCDevil:
Sorry for delay:

Poco F1

for speed, fingerprint (usable), updates, 3rd party support, in calls volume and clarity.

A50

Display, nfc, carrier aggregation.

It depends on your personal use at least

You are right, but Snap is more supported, you know
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] chowdri.shivam:
I am not into heavy games. Its the display, battery and daily usage speed which matters a lot for me as these 3 are on the frontline of any device. So samoled, 4000mah and one ui is a good package. It also has thin profile. So easy to handle for smaller hands. But what i really dont like is camera. I really hope samsung must be working on it.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] yusufjee:
This is a no brainer. Pocofone is a flagship product with better hardware and that matters a lot. Processor, hardware, camera all are much much better than A50. A50 only has Super Amoled screen going for it. In 2019 if you guys are still talking about SD card as a game changer, I am afraid you need to grow out of it. And before someone asks me why I didnt buy pocofone? It has the most atrociuos notch and I cant stand it.

I am on February update.i rooted my phone using Magisk manager. I then unrooted also. For last few days I noticed that when screen is on and I plugged in the charger it's automatically restart and same happens when plugged out. Otherwise it's works fine. Any idea?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] esme:
Hi I have an O2 XDA Exec running Windows Mobile 5 and I'm trying to connect to my work wifi

we don't use certificates but we do have a 42 character WPA key with mixed upper/lower alphanumerics and special characters, it's a pain to type even when you can see what you are typing

my laptop connects quite happily using this key

so starting from not having a network connection on the xda, I use the connection manager to stop the phone network and enable only the wifi

the xda then detects the locally available networks and lets me select my works one

I set it up for work access and then I'm presented with the wpa key input field

using the main keyboard I have to type in the key and every time I get to about the 32nd character the phone keypad pops up as if I'm making a call, if I dismiss this I'm back at a now empty wpa key input field, it looks to me like there's a buffer overflow error of some sort happening there

I cannot paste into this field using the main keyboard, however copying the text of the key from a file to the clipboard and using ctrl-v from the on screen keyboard seems to paste something into the field, however the xda still fails to connect and eventually turns the wifi off

going to the "Configure Network Authentication" dialogue I have deleted the works network and tried to manually add a new network with the same name, manually typing in the key which doesn't seem to throw the phone application up this time, then I tell it to connect and it tries for a few minutes and then disables the wifi again

is there any way I can add this key in directly say by importing a reg file or creating a certificate of some sort, at least that way I would know the key was typed correctly
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] esme:
Sorted it

I installed a copy of Hitchhiker which not only let me see the key that I was typing in but let me paste the one out of the file I was given, I could then connect, then I removed Hitchhiker and lo I could still connect :D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doktorspin:
I've got an Android box with limitations that allows a terminal emulator to send it commands, so I can for instance reboot to recovery.

Is there a command or set of commands that will allow me to reboot into a recovery image on an SD-card?

_________________________

Background, if needed:

I have a copy of TWRP that I'd like to test to see if it is functional on this box and a tutorial I read indicated that if I

1. have an SD card with the recovery.img,

2. press the reset button (it's in the AV jack), and

3. plug in the power at the same time,​

I should be able to run TWRP in memory, no flashing required, to test the functionality of the version of TWRP.

It didn't work. No TWRP, it just started stock recovery. Perhaps I screwed up the process, but I tried several times. The operation doesn't seem to need a PhD.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] cowtc:
Anyone else notice the wifi connection suffers (eg starts buffering when watching YouTube or Twitch) when the phone is connected to a Bluetooth 5 device (headphones)?

My phone does this, as soon as I switch from WiFi to mobile data it's fine. Or disconnect the Bluetooth device it's fine. Also if I use an older Bluetooth 4 device it's fine. I've got two Bluetooth 5 headsets and they cause the same issue.

Just wondering if other ppl experience the same?

How I can Unlock bootloader while i am in Pie? Or how I can flash Pie in Nougat Unlocked bootloader?
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vineet09i:
You have to downgrade your Bootloader for unlocking it if you are on pie

And you can update to pie by manually flashing pie update using sdcard (download pie update from Google API) or using NOST or OST (using leaked pie build)

Link for direct update using sdcard card:

https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../adeecdc3fe3dc4b7518565d22a7d490d367b02c7.zip
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Elvaa:
Can you explain more about 2 methods?
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vineet09i:
I think the pie update is not incrimental so you can update your phone directly from nougat to pie

There are two methods

1st-download the pie update from link in previous chat ,put it in external sdcard and flash it through stock recovery

2nd- you can use NOST or OST to upgrade your phone

For this method you have to download ND1-612C build of pie update

Extract it

Open OST and choose the software image

It's better if you visit -How to install internal pie build on Nokia 5--by Hikari Calyx

Just download the file from their ,and there will be a .mlf file select this in OST

First you should try 1st method

A stupid question: Can I flash Stock Rom with TWRP?
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Elvaa:
I can't enter recovery. The phone show the logo and then PowerOff. This still again when I try to press Vol+ and Power to enter recovery again
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Elvaa:
here is what I have. Nokia 5, with Android 7.1.2, TWRP 3.2.1-0 flashed. But Bootloader is not unlock yet. I don't know how to unlock it. The TWRP was flashed like https://xdaforums.com/nokia-5/how-to/guide-temporary-unlock-bootloader-to-t3746947
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vineet09i:
This is temporary unlocking of Bootloader

You can permanent unlock it by paying 5$ or 300 RS.if you are Indian as I did

You can enter recovery mode by:

1st -enable USB debugging in your phone

Connect phone to pc

Now open command prompt in adb folder by pressing shiff and right click of mouse and there will be a option of open command prompt here

Now type adb devices

There will be a message on phone just allow it( phone should be unlocked)

Now type "adb reboot recovery"

Now you will get a message of no command in recovery

Now press power button and press vol+ 2-3 times keeping power button presssed now you are in recovery

HMD Global leaves unlock the bootloader, so if I unlock the bootloader with Android Pie, I can flash twrp and Magisk?
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MEMO#22:
I successfully downgraded, unlocked bootloader, and rooted my Nokia 5 Android Nougat

It notified an OTA available of Android Pie

Will my root be gone if i update?
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] fil3s:
Awesome:D I had trouble booting twrp on pie though , for now I'm using a reboot app. What is the button combo to boot to twrp? Thanks !
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MEMO#22:
1. Completely turn off the phone

2. Plug the phone with a USB cable

3. Wait till you see a battery charging icon

4. Press both Vol+ and power button until phone reboots

Second question: how did you managed to install twrp on pie?
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] fil3s:
I downgraded from 8.1 to 7.1 and unlocked bootloader (system allows ota update when bootloader is unlocked) ran fastboot to flash Nokia 6 twrp .

Yeah. I followed this guide
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MEMO#22:
Oh so you paid for it, well i guess that's a small price to pay for me. Sadly, I'm starting to like Android Pie, so for me sticking to Nougat won't hold me off for long, so i think I'll like pie even more if there was root :)
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] fil3s:
I just used NOST to downgrade to nougat after I kinda bricked it. Upgraded to pie and flashed twrp. I gotta 1024 , 3gb variant runing pie with twrp, magisk & I'm using my 128gb sdcard as adopted storage. I'd recommend the unlock. :svetius:

ok, here's what i did so far:

1. patched july 2018 seurity

2. downgraded to nougat again

3. critical unlocked the bootloader

all i need is a working twrp, most of what i can find doesn't work

may i ask where did you get the recovery?
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] fil3s:
No worries, mate. I use the n6 twrp which works on stock

https://twrp.me/nokia/nokia6.html
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MEMO#22:
For some reason that also doesn't work on mine, I already tried that :(
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] fil3s:
Did u buy the unlock file?
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MEMO#22:
Yes, my phone is now critically unlocked (gives a message that my device is unlocked and can't be trusted)

Verified it using fastboot oem device-info and the bootloader unlock status is true

I can flash images using fastboot even after upgrading to pie so that means i can flash TWRP

But after flashing successfully it just shows stock recovery

I already tried 3 recoveries including the one that used to work on nougat, still nothing
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] fil3s:
You gotta type in CMD 'fastboot reboot' after u flash twrp and hold volume up and power (release power when you see the bootloader is unlocked warning) then press enter it will boot to twrp. or stock recovery will over write it
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MEMO#22:
Should i start pressing both pressing the volume and power key before i press enter on the command?
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] fil3s:
Yes. You might want to get magisk on ur SD card ready to flash as well
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MEMO#22:
Oh cool, it actually works now! :D that's all it takes??

gosh darn it, i've been struggling to boot twrp ever since yesterday :p

after flashing magisk and restart

this message appear

This device has loaded a different operating system

ID: (serial number)

This device will shut down in 30 seconds

and it also has an unlock icon.

no recovery menu no bootloader mode no sytem operation

shall me go the repair centre or what ?!!!

I never encountered that

Can you retrace on what did you do?

Download mode is supposed to be a failsafe option when something goes wrong, well on most pixel devices tho

i simply downgrade to nougat

then flashed twrp recovery

then i boot to twrp and from 3 dots i flash super su

restart

root check oops not rooted

after that that i flashed magisk 18 from twrp recovery

wipe

restart

my phone bricked and no download mode and no recovery work

just 30 second page and shut down
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MEMO#22:
Okay, first of

What model of Nokia 5 do you have?

From what i remember is that i used a chinese variant of TWRP, it has built in magisk 16.1 (not 18)

I dunno about nokia 5 if there are other ways to access download mode, since it's not hard bricked, the phone is booting but it detected the wrong boot.img preventing it to work

If your phone is still under warranty then you can send it to Nokia store, just bring your best of luck with you
[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MEMO#22:
Wish i can give it a try so i can debug the problem, unfortunately i only have one working device and obviously i don't want it to get bricked too

I'm trying to get TWRP on my Nokia 5 with Stock 7.1.2 and Unlocked Bootloader.

I have tried flashing with fastboot ,

twrp-3.2.3-0-PLE and

twrp-3.3.1-0-PLE

Both of these "work" , I can fastboot recovery, then boot to TWRP and do things.

Problem is, when I reboot device after, it sticks at "Powered By Android" and goes no further. Cannot boot to Android, cannot boot to TWRP. Only possibility is to boot to "download mode" (thankfully, this still works).

From "download mode" I can use OST to re-flash the December 2017 7.1.2 again, then I can boot to Android, but I no longer have TWRP as the OST has flashed over the recovery again.

What am I doing wrong?

Is December 7.1.2 too old for TWRP? I like Android 7, and would like to get TWRP working with it, if possible

Can anyone help, please?

EDIT: Found that guide online: {Mod edit: Link to paid services website removed. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}

Would it be possible with that tutorial to do it on pie or would i still use to downgrade?

Hi,

first of all: You are doing a great job here!

Now my question: I got an Nokia 5 from a familymember as my secound device and for testing my own apps (ised iPhone X as well but it‘s great to have both so i can test the apps are working in both worlds ;)

The device hast Android 9 with the latest update (from August, 2019 if i remember correctly).

So is there a way to install TWRP and Root the device while staying on Android 9 (it‘s pie right?)?

If not could you please give me an easy to understamd Tutorial how i can Root it, install TWRP and in thr end have Android 9 with latest patch on the phone. I would be really really thankful for your help! I know there is a tutorial avaliable how to downgrade but is it still the latest/best way of doing it and be able to have a rooted Device with latest Pie Patch? Can i install updates OTA via Setting on the phone (so it would install latest version) or does that kill TWRP and the root access?

Also i read in tutorials you need to unlock the botloader but how to do that?

Sorry for that many questions but i searched via Google and here for the last 2 Days and i‘m very very confued after reading a lot of Tutorials and so i don‘t know which is the best/easiest to get the root and TWRP done :(

Hope someone here is able / willing to help me out of that and give me an easy to understand Tutorial for all three Things (downgrade (if still needed would be great if there is a way without that), TWRP and Root install and upgrading back to Android 9 with the latest security Patch).

Thanks in advance for everyone out there trying to help me out with that situation and sorry for partially bad english, it‘s because i only learned it in School 10 Years ago and my native language is german :)
