[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] BBEgo:
Not in my opinion, if you're looking for XDA support.

It's a great phone with a fantastic camera, but because it was never sold in the US, there is almost zero ROM activity, and no S-off.

If you want an upgrade, why not the U12+?
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] sherif1998:
I live in Egypt, so it's available here for 470$.

U12+ is much more expensive.

So I was asking is it at this price, for the specs, also is there any screen problems with low brightness, is it true ?
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] BBEgo:
I have been extremely satisfied with the phone overall. I'm very happy with mine.

I just assumed you intended to root and install ROMs since you're on XDA. It is a bad choice for that one application. But for everything else, it's GREAT!

Screen is plenty bright enough for me. I've never done a side by side comparation with comparable devices though.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] mihaita98:
My screen is good enough, and i love in romania. Just turn off battery saver and turn the brightness on max in the summer if you go outdoors.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] myrigon:
It's a good phone. Edge sense is very handy, when you set it up properly it acts like the old omniswitch from omniroms. The speakers are loud, the bundled earphones are considerably better than what you'll get with most phones. I've encountered no software or hardware problems. The battery, and performance are all acceptable. Plus 128gb storage, and sd slot or dual sim.

The downsides, basically no xda support and almost no support from htc (we're due to get pie though). Also, if you like buying fancy, big brand phone cases, forget it, none of them are interested in u11+.

If those downsides don't bother you, go for it. I've had mine a year and don't regret it. Despite its little issues, there's no phone in 2018 that I would've been happier with.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] q3ahmd:
It is not supported in Egypt. I had problems with my phone and contacted the support, they asked me to send it to Taiwan. I loved the phone until I started having issues after Android Pie upgrade, and the support is non existent in Egypt. Go for a supported model.

Any idea? I have to QTEK 8500. One upgraded nicely to 6.1 - the other gives me Error 270 after 5% flashing.

How can I bypass this?

The wiki seems not to exist at least at the moment (timeouts on requests), so I am lost here to know what to do.

Please advice ;)
[HTC Startrek] dakiro:
270 during flashing

First of all - as in instructions to flashing - make sure the phone is unlocked, both aplication and the other unlock.

If it still happens then I had the same thing. I used the clean "boring" ROM. After I changed the bootloader to a newer version, I was ok. So first flash the bootloader - it must be given on the same page as the rom file, and keep your fingers crossed - 'couse if it doesn't work you are in for a problem with a brick.

It should actually take a few seconds only.

After that, flash the new rom, should be ok.
[HTC Startrek] Thona:
No bootloader update - where is it?

The rom is from the article at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=374397

(6.1 standard).

So, tell me - ;) Where can I Find the instructions on how to update the boot loader?
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
is it "corrupted image" error? if yes - READ THE ****ING MANUAL

:) and make sure you have done all the steps in it :)
[HTC Startrek] fdecourt:
Hi,

I had the same problem as you....

My phone was correctly unlocked, but it won't pass the 5% after a first try when i went to 97% (communication error). I was stuck on the nice Erofish sun starting pictures.

I tries many times to flash with the 6.1 standard, but it won't go through the 5% limit (the phone turns off at 5% but it was fully loaded). So I downloaded all the wm6 roms available in this great forum, try to flash them but it was not working (still stick at 5%).

So I doanload a 5.0 rom (Expansys forum : http://www.expansys-usa.com/ft.aspx?k=73618) and was able to flash my phone....

Then after I tried again to reflash with the Erofich rom, and was able to do it. So now, I can use my phone again with the great rom.

Regards,

F.
[HTC Startrek] Thona:
I did - I can redo them, but this is the second phone I try to flash ;) What step do you think I am missing? And it IS the corrupted image error. Is the application unlock wrong?
[HTC Startrek] mil_2007:
Thanx! it worked!!!! :D
[HTC Startrek] Erofich:
Soft SPL aka SSPL aka USPL
[HTC Startrek] Thona:
Häh? Sorry, but where is that in the original documentation? I must totally miss it. I follow the instructions in the post verbatim.
[HTC Startrek] Who-m3:
It's included in the directions. Problem is, your phone is probably Application Locked. Try running the Application Unlock, then run the SSPL.lnk. When you run SSPL, it should put the phone into a virtual "bootloader" screen. This is where the RUU will run the upgrade process. This should get you taken care of. If not, let me know, we'll see what we can get going for you.

Hi. I have a rather weird story please read it. So, some months ago my Note 4 died and it wouldnt turn on anymore with no signs of life. Itried it with a friend's battery and it still wouldnt turn on so i thought that the problem might be with the motherboard so i bought a new motherboard from china. The problem is that even iwth the new motherboard that i just replaced my phone stilll wouldnt turn on! What might have i done wrong? Please help :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big Elf:
It's possible you haven't reconnected all the connectors especially one or both of those on the back of the motherboard that click into place.

It's also possible that the failure is for another reason other than the motherboard.

My SM-N910F has recently failed with no prior warning with no indication what's causing the problem. I've tried adding the padding on the eMMC chip trick but that doesn't work for me.

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Monstroquodlucet:
Hi there. I think what I'm having is a network issue but I'm not entirely sure yet. I was hoping some of the good folks here might be able to help me figure it out.

So I have used the steps (to the letter) from the post titled "Free Sprint Moto Z2 Force carrier unlock quick and painless" by [MENTION=4139144]Jessooca[/MENTION]ca. (Many thanks to you [MENTION=4139144]Jessooca[/MENTION], I'm actually running MetroPCS! YAY!) But I'm running into a problem. Motorola keeps telling me to run an update, and I'm not entirely sure how to deal with it. It states that it was a Jan 2019 update, version OCXS27.109-48-15.

My question is this. I've read as much as I can about the update and what it entails. My bootloader is still unlocked, Magisk is still on my phone, TWRP is also still on my phone. Also, as this is the XTXT1789-03, the Sprint version, I'm not entirely sure what to even do about the update. Is it something I actually need?

In System it does say that I'm still on the Sprint software variant and the Sprint software channel. Is that something I can change in order to get the update? Would it require a different ROM?

Auuugghhh. *headdesk*

Please advise! I would be much much obliged. Thanks in advance.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] laofan:
Don't update since you are rooted and has TWRP.

Only update when you are fully stocked (no TWRP, no root)..

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] jorgemoren:
Hi guys,

Do you take pictures on RAW with your P10? If so, how do you edit them/fix them to look good and most importantly natural?

P10 RAW photos have weird colors and a lot of vignetting. I got some knowledge about photography and editing tools and I've recently installed Lightroom both computer and phone to learn and step up my P10 photos, however, I still can't make raw photos look natural... I end up getting an over edited and weird photo.

Do you have a video tutorial you could recommend me? or some general guidance? I would really appreciate. :) I'm a quick learner, I won't waste your time.

Ps. My phone is VTR L09 8.0.0.310. Waiting for Android 9 and maybe getting some software improvement about it.

Thank you so much.

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] Erfan_rv:
Hello my friend

Raw means, well Raw. Whatever ur sensor captures. Without any light settings, Denoise filters or color correction that software applies to photos. That's why u have to put lot of time on them to edit them on Photoshop. So, i recommend use raw, only in good lighting condition, and get better in Photoshop as well.

There is a lot of debate over the performance between these 2 versions. So put 'em up. Any test or source you feel is relevant to your stance. I'll supply my 855 scores for a few. Please keep it friendly.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sireniankyle:
My OP didn't post the screenshots correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Ace42:
Xda just takes a while to actually show attached images. Your first post was fine.

In synthetic tests the Exy should be faster, and rightfully so. It occupies more space than the SD855, so I suspect Samsung scaled perf back to match the 855. Now, the SD will probably run better than Exy in emus and native games.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sireniankyle:
Unless Exynos broke the mold this year, gaming is smoother on SD. If an Exynos user could start posting their results, that'd be awesome for the benchmark debate.

Are you saying that the 9820 is physically larger? If so, Qualcomm did implement a 7nm process to combat the difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] twelvematic:
Can you check what camera sensors you have?

I downloaded AIDA64 and it says I have ISOCELL in my S10+ Exynos version.

I want to know if Samsung is placing Sony IMX sensors on the Snapdragon variant.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Ace42:
Yes, the 9820 is larger than the SD855 and 9810. When it comes to games it's hard to gauge the Adreno, since PUBG already runs at 60FPS on the 835, or with HDR on. That means it'll be a while before the 845 starts to choke.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Corv0:
Nah mate you're going too far in misunderstanding about this whole tech.

ISOCELL is also not a brand but a technology name for sensor produced by Samsung, Sony's counterpart is still using barely improved version of BSI, an older technology.

In theory, ISOCELL is superior to pretty much everything else, the only way for it to lose is to have inferior processing, the Pixel 3 makes good use of its IMX363 even if it technically has an older system.

Regarding ISOCELL vs BSI on the same device and same software processing will always come with better result through the ISOCELL. DXomark's review of the S10 used the International version with a 4.32mm ISOCELL, and it is the first in its class.

Also, the IMX sensor in [MENTION=4857619]sireniankyle[/MENTION]'s screenshot is the selfie front facing camera, you can see the other rear facing camera being an ISOCELL (ultra-wide 1.80mm) as well.

I have attached my Exynos AIDA sensor screens and one of DXOmark's benchmarking sample with the sensor data recorded.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Corv0:
To keep it separated from my previous post:

[MENTION=7022700]twelvematic[/MENTION] You shouldn't sell your G975F, we have:

-30%+ more single core performance

-equal or in some cases superior GPU performance (check my other post on the thread)

-unlockable bootloader at any time

-updated proprietary sensors that Samsung has full control on

-proprietary SoC that Samsung has full control on, most OEMS have no control over whether or not Qualcomm will continue supporting their platform with libs after 2 years, that's why most Qualcomm devices started having dead or crippled AOSP support in the last years, it turned from being community friendly into becoming just another American toxic corporation, it deserves to die like one, their patenting game is also dishonest and illegal in many cases.

-potentially superior battery life, Snapdragon users aren't even getting close to my 13.5h SoT record, their battery life drama percentage seems to be higher than ours (battery optimisation guide is coming soon btw)

If anything isn't performing in a satisfying way I am fully assured it can be solved with software updates. This affects all new technologies, and Qualcomm is not the new boy here.

Samsung has the means, they have the experience and media has already applied pressure on this Exynos vs Snapdragon issue for quite some time.

I was very negative about Exynos being potentially lame while waiting for my European pre-order, I do not worry anymore.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Corv0:
Renderscript is very unrelated to 3D performance, and it's also extremely dependant on kernel optimisation.

Why don't you run GFXbench on the Note? You will see what I'm talking about.

Samsung should improve their kernel optimisation game, the silicon is great, they're just lazy, at least my battery is insanely good and no Snapdragon is minimally getting close. That alone is worth more than any loss in benchmarks.

" You're allow to flash the newest dev version publishedby Miui forum from stable version only"

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] flyingjack:
Sure?....:confused:

Taken from Xiaomi official side:

Note: You can upgrade your phone by Local Update method

without unlocking your phone

. The method suits for the situations listed below for sure: Update to Global Stable ROM from Global Stable ROM, Update to Global Beta ROM from Global Beta ROM,

Update to Global Beta ROM from Global Stable ROM and vice versa

. If you encounter the issue that the reboot page keep loading for a long time after flashing, you can choose to wipe all data via entering Recovery Mode. You can turn off your device and then hold both Volume+ button and Power button at the same time to enter Recovery Mode.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] nicpas:
I think the problem ist an other one.

You have not the real Global Rom - its the GLobal EEA Version - some like the Russian or Indian Version of MIUI.

This time the also release e EEA Version for the European Mi9's.

It could be that there never will be a Devloper Rom for Mi 9. So it musst be called MI9 EEA Global beta.

I think the real Global Version will be released later for markets like Malaysia or Hong Kong.

Dont like that, cause im also effectet, but i think thats it These time.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] flyingjack:
Make sense, as there is an "EEA section" with a stable ROM on the MIUI page and a "global section" for the Dev-ROM...means I need to wait until I can unlock my Bootloader to switch!?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] nicpas:
Yes but be careful, if you Flash via unlocked Bootloader you can't relock. if you do, you get softbricked.

Also with unlocked Bootloader you cant use GPay without Magisk and with Magisk ist also a bit tricky These days.

And i also think without Global EEA Rom you will los Widevine L1, but i cant confirm this, but i think so.

So better you wait to see if there will come a EEA Global Beta or you better stay with the Stable one.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] flyingjack:
Thx for this advice.....most likely I am moving to Xiaomi.eu anyway, and right after changing the Rom I will never re-lock BL.
