[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussio] Daniel00tm:
The Mate 20 has a faster chipset, if your priority is power then i guess that's your best option, having said that, the A7 is a very smooth device, i have not found any stutter or any apps that struggles to handle, i think the experience is very good

i primarily use my phone for media consumption and was very disappointed with the screen and audio quality of the Mate 20, the volume with headphones is below average in volume

this is the way i see it:

Mate 20

pros

faster chipset

feels very premium in hand

cons

screen not as good as the A7

sound volume and quality are below average

has a notch

A7

pros

fantastic screen without a notch

very good audio quality (has dolby atmos)

better camera than the mate 20

is widevine L3 certified so you can watch netflix at full hd

you get always on display

cons

the device is very light in a cheap kind of way,

front camera doesn't have autofocus

the side bezels are a bit bigger than we are used to in 2019, i'll take that over a notch

doesn't have usb type-c

i hope that helps with your decision

Should i buy the Xiaomi mi A2 over A7 2018? Can i have your opinion as well?
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussio] Daniel00tm:
well, the xiaomi mi A2 is almost half the price of the A7, only $ 180, i don't think is a fair comparison, the A7 is better in every single way but that's to be expected from a device twice the price

if money is not a problem i would go for the A7, if you are on a budget and want to save some money then i guess the xiaomi is a good option, i've never had a xiaomi device so i can't really tell you what to expect
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussio] JoostA:
Thanks a lot, a check with Smart Switch revealed that there is an update for the Netherlands as well. I guess for a lot of other European countries tool. Rooted phones will not receive the update OTA, you must manually download it. For that you can use Sammobile.com which is excruciatingly slow however. If it works, use SmartSwitch instead. It is ree, quicker, less of a hassle and you can be sure you get the right version for your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Guides, News, & Discussio] dlsygaco:
Youre getting a way better camera,super amoled, one ui with a7. One ui is the best skin right now.

Mi a2 has sd660 which is slightly better in gaming and youre getting android one. Better updates.

For me, id go with a7 because of one ui and the camera. Go with mi a2 if you feel like gaming but battery is terrible

Let's make a thread to report the issues related to idle drain on custom ROMs. I have made this thread so that people can discuss issues related to battery life and help each other solve it. This is in no way to defame anyone. It's just a thread for discussion. I decided to make this thread because my device was active for most of the time. Very very less deep sleep
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sleepwalking0593:
Well for some reference i flashed a rom and just magisk and fk kernel manager to track deep sleep. I was shocked to see that device wasn't sleeping well and awake for 80% or more of the time. It was without any 3rd party apps installed on ROM.

Just flashed ROM only and no verity zip. Didn't flash gaps as it was already built in. After doing the first boot and set-up. I flashed magisk and installed only 2 apps. Better battery stats and fk kernel manager to track the drain. So i guess I'm not doing anything wrong. Because i didn't restore any app or app data. I used to restore only back-up of apps using titanium backup. I never restore data. People always blame users that they used bad apps but without apps installed i assumed i could get better sleep. But it wasn't the case. Now I'm back to OOS and will update to you guys after a new update comes.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Woodski:
I got my T580 yesterday and manged to unlock and root it.

First with the Samsung 8.1 oreo OS

Later on via TWRP I flashed Lineage OS but I didn't like it

Then used ODIN to go back to stock Samsung but I broke it

Boots in black screen but it still goes in download mode with FRP lock off

It looks like I can flash CF-Root and TWRP (success)

I can't flash a Samsung TAR anymore (failed)

But no matter what I do it won't boot or go to reovery

Tried several Samsung stock but none of them even start to download

Played with a PIT file but also no luck

There are a few unbrick guides but mine won't flash so that doesn't help me

Does anybody have a suggestion what to do now ?

Edit

Flashed TWRP again without root or Stock

Now I could go to recovery and flash LineageOS again and it boot.. Hurray !!!

I was checking https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/payton/official/

So i find this software : XT1900-7_PAYTON_PLAYPL_9.0_PPW29.69-37_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

So what's the difference between it & other softwares..

Hi,

Just got my M20 pro and playing around with the camera. Read that a recent update ( EMUI 9.0.0.195) has added an AI Color Mode to stil-image capture.

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Huawe...e-for-pictures-as-well-as-video.403481.0.html

My phone is at 9.0.0.198 and I can´t get the ai color mode accept from when in video mode.

I know there is a work around with taking photo in aperture mode and then using filter but found it kind of strange that it´s not an option when taking the photo.

Anybody knows something abt it?

* Unlocked the Bootloader using the Mi Unlock tool

* Flash TWRP Recovery using ADB and Fastboot

* Boot into TWRP

* Wipe data and all other partitions

* Install the zip file for the custom ROM
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] aniruddho69:
Always do a factory data reset in your recovery after flashing the ROM if you are coming from a different version of ROM.i.e.8 to 9,7 to 9 or vice versa.

Also when you go back to MIUI don't forget to flash lazyflasher.zip.You can find it on Google;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] bot88:
Don't wipe all partitions, that will mess up Your phone beyond hope. First make backup of all partitions in twrp and then only wipe data, system, dalvik cache and cache.

Also don't forget get to install gapps (if not included in rom itself). You alsoay need to flash additional zip file to prevent force encryption.

Thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] RocketBanana:
Personally, I use OrangeFox recovery, and I usually wipe the whole phone clean including the internal storage (I have backups on my PC) and I install the ROM, plus Gapps (With Pixel Experience ROMs I'm sure they come with the Gapps prepackaged so there's no need to install Gapps). After the wipe I reboot into recovery again, and flash the zip file for the rom. After that, I wipe my dalvic caches and reboot the phone. The first boot usually takes around 4-6 minutes, and it boots you right into the setup screen. Be sure to backup all your data and partitions.

You can't flash S10 firmware on S9.
