[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] johnnyman25:
Hi guys! I'm a happy mi 8 user and I want to buy mi 9.

Anyone jumped to mi9 from mi8?

Does it worth?

Thank you.

The power of the Mi 8 be with you
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
If you want to get the Mi 9 then just a direct spec comparison is enough without asking someone who's upgraded, you're gaining better screen protector, smaller notch, better SOC, better GPU, better camera, faster charging, wireless charging... No brainer imo
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] johnnyman25:
Good morning and thanks for the answers! Is the camera rly better without ois??

The power of the Mi 8 be with you
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] ermacwins:
I'm assuming there might be a Mi 9s with ois and larger battery. The Mi 9 will have poor quality in low light photos
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Jogg3r:
Got an Mi 8 blue 128 gb from Amazon WHD Like New for just 320 Euro. Wouldn't upgrade to the Mi 9 bc it is about 150 euro more expensive. Also a problem would be the missing OIS. Especially in Low Light situations. Nope, Mi 8 is still a great device. Btw: the Mi 9 is having a double higher SAR value which I personally care about a lot! 1,4 vs. 0,7.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] TheInfiniteAndroid:
From the FCC's website:

"ALL cell phones must meet the FCC’s RF exposure standard, which is set at a level well below that at which laboratory testing indicates, and medical and biological experts generally agree, adverse health effects could OCCUR."

Also, bigger OEM's such as Samsung also have devices with high SAR values, pretty sure the S10 or S10+ is 1.5
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] EyeBalos:
Hi all,

I noticed that the SAR values (both USA and EU) of the Mi Max is noticeably lower than the Mi Max 2. I thought the hardware between the two are identical except for the CPU, camera and battery. Anyone know what would account for the difference?

I'm using a MM2 and planning to get one for my wife, but she does voice calls more often hence concerned about the SAR exposure.

Also, does the MM1 have the same echo and in-call volume problems as the MM2?

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] reversegear:
max 2 is almost 2year old phone which is running outdated android nougat(official) why dont you look for some newer device

if the concern is about SAR then use headphones or Bluetooth headsets

regarding echo and in-call volume exists only on few custom roms of max2. stock rom doesnt have any issues other than outdated OS version.

Hi,

I have installed OmniROM Pie Alpha 5.2 and I would need a custom recovery to update magisk, flash xposed etc.

Can anyone help me?
[Huawei P10 Plus Questions & Answers] keturidu:
You don't need to install custom recovery to update magisk. Read OperKirin page, there's a manual, how to install magisk.

I don't think exposed would work on omnirom. twrp installs, but there's no point having it.

Hello guys ,

Eventually the date of the update was clear. Congratulations for HTC. I had hoped to get the Android Q update.

https://www.facebook.com/101063233083/posts/10159086719528084/

We want to share the release schedule of the Android Pie updates for #HTC smartphones. Please note, certain regions & carrier deployment may affect these dates. U11 rollout will begin late May, 2019; U11+ will begin late June, 2019; U12+ will begin mid-June, 2019. Thank you.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] alfred_chung:
Not really sure but the news today said that HTC is now negotiating with some companies in India for selling their brand. If so, it is no ground to post that message in the FB.

I do really hope my U11+ can get pie.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] matty538:
Only problem with that statement for UK anyway, the U11+ was only available from HTC direct. So mobile operators would have no input or changes to make. We've all been waiting long enough now they really should be releasing information.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mast3rchi3f:
What can we except form HTC? Are they dead? New skin? RIP HTC?
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] matty538:
Potentially dead. The Pie update is very late now. They seem to be moving away from phones too. I have a feeling we may not get Pie as HTC concentrates it's resources else where. This is the first HTC phone I've been truly disappointed with and will certainly be my last. Already looking to one+ for my next phone.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] GeknGekn:
Reach out to HTC and ask them for the source code, easy to build a pie/q rom and even keep up community support long after.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] matty538:
HTC don't pay me to do that though do they? If you bought a laptop and Asus or Apple chucked you a CD and said, you're getting no updates so there's the source code, fix any driver compatibility issues, flaws in the programming or security breaches yourself would you be happy with that?

I've paid them for a phone on the understanding I'd get HDR and Android updates. It took almost a year to fix the notification bug they created and they have pushed zero security patches other than those included with an update.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] daheufster:
Yep, how truly i still hope it will get better honestly i am loosing my hopes i had. I've been using HTC phone even when they were creating phones under the name Qtek. Always stood by them and was always an enthusiastic supporter but i truly - with so much pain - believe it will only get worse in support. Although phones still rock this baby will almost certainly be my last HTC phone where presumably i too will be moving over towards OnePlus..

It is really sad but perhaps better, since I don't think any brand really can survive against the money Apple and Samsung are spending to buy customers.. i hope they will survive with VR..
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] matty538:
I've been with HTC since the Touch HD so not as long as you. Back then they were innovators. The HD2 showed a phone could run two os and then we had the m7 with ultra pixel camera ( although the pink tint issue was a big problem) and the m8 led the way again with camera tech.

HTC promised updates within 90 days when they initially streamlined the amount of phones they were going to produce and now present day with no updates, finally a post stating there will be updates beginning Q2 and then nothing...

They can't completely blame it on carriers as the U11+ in Europe at least was a HTC direct phone. So where's the update? No where close is my guess. It seems they just string us along in the hope we get bored.

I don't agree that companies can't compete with apple and Samsung. There's plenty of smaller manufacturers doing a better job than HTC and in that sense HTC deserves everything it gets for failing it's customers.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] daheufster:
True, although it didn't succeed both Sony and LG where perhaps LG still has a position, but Sony left the battlefield quite quietly:( its a pitty and indeed was so much fun with the HD2 and M7. Both i still have and both still work where the HD2 is running MM. Had it even with Windows Phone 7 running.. ahh what the heck, OnePlus 7 pro looks great, so perhaps a worthy replacement.. presentation is 14th May apparently.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] matty538:
The only thing putting me off the oneplus 7 pro is the pop up selfie camera. Not sure how I feel about it. Other than that it seems a decent spec from the leaks we've had. Not long to wait though and with nothing forthcoming on the HTC update front looks like I may jump ship before it gets pushed. This has been by far the worst experience I've had with a phone provider and I can't recall ever wanting to get rid of a phone as quick as this one.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] szafirowy01:
I'd say that an absolute lack of any info - not a single leak - about their next phone is a pretty good indication that they're out of the smartphone business. And therefore lack of the update is also highly likely, though... even if they sold off their smartphone department the new owner might conduct it (if the code is already more or less created) for the sake of keeping the image.

Anyway, that's for 99% also my last - though only second... - HTC, even though that's a nearly perfect phone for me and I don't care much for updates (especially with those newer Androids that seem to differ less and less). Why then? Well, last time when I was that satisfied with a phone - with my previous One M7 - I kept using it for over 4 years, and would likely continue if it wasn't for the battery. Now I've had the U11+ for over 1 year - and I don't think there'll be any new HTCs in 2022. Sad, as I can't see a proper alternative right now, so I have to hope for something really new.

Sadly HTC use mushroom communications at best these days
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] edkmho:
Sorry guys, HTC had been disappointing with support and updates. I have to ditch U11+.

Personally I think HTC had ditches us the loyal supported without providing any security patches since 2017. This make us all expose to all kind of vulnerability possible, too bad.

I am wishing those that still think that HTC has a chance coming back, good luck guys.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] matty538:
I don't think anyone is under any illusion as to what's going to happen. Android Q is already in beta testing for about 13 manufacturers and HTC can't even release Android Pie. Once I've found a new phone I like I will be jumping this sinking ship.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] salahmed:
Wait for "Late June"
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Electro58:
Finally! The update will come. It would be nice if it actually comes from Android Q. Waiting for Pie to come after Q
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] matty538:
Definitely won't come with Q, and a pretty poor show from HTC. Probably being the last to roll out Pie when they used to say updates within 90 days.

[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] PanNet:
Do not complain to much. HTC sold 50% of mobile team to Google so I am not surprised. Look at the LG, they got the same problems as HTC.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] matty538:
Well against the information originally given by HTC it appears the U12 is now getting the update whilst the U11+ has had nothing. As it's currently the TW variant looks like those with an EU variant will be waiting even longer.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gortys:
Normally, as HTC said, it should arrive first on u11 beginning June, then u12+ mid June, and u11+ late June. But, sure, they're already late! And u11 and u12+ that already received it are only Taiwanese versions. HTC Japan also tweeted it will last 2 or 3 months longer to get the pie update. But don't know if it's only for Japan or if other countries will be updated the same way. I really don't know what they're doing. If they go on this way, there won't be any new HTC smartphone. I don't know how many people I saw this year on the Internet who changed from HTC to another brand. I think I'll do it too for my next device...
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] matty538:
Yes and we are already in July with no U11+ update contrary to what they initially said. I still don't understand why they chose to update the middle phone last and security updates are still November 2018. The phone is really out of date and no updates from HTC in Europe yet they are able to spread the word about vive and such. If they give the same poor service to those customers then I can't see them lasting much longer at all. The entire product range will go the same way as their phones. I for one wouldn't purchase anything new from HTC based on the multiple internet posts of bad customer service.

I will be ditching HTC phones after being a fan from the original touch HD. I'm just waiting for Google to release the new pixel then deciding between that and the one+7 pro. I flat out refuse to give HTC any more of my hard earned cash though.

One less sale won't bother them I'm sure, but I'm also sure I'm not the only customer that's had enough of their poor service.

I think you'll have to wait a little bit longer than 24h after Taiwanese version. I'd speak about weeks! ... Unfortunately!
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] matty538:
It's more a point of note and demonstrating HTCs failure. Obviously being the middle phone we were the last to be issued the update. That in itself was supposed to be late June. A quarter of the way through July and the updates only just starting.

In Europe at least this phone was only available from HTC, no carrier branding so really they should be getting this update out pretty quickly.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gortys:
Oh, I totally agree with that! The last HTC phone I really appreciated from start to finish is HTC 10 which was still updated on time, far before Samsung S8. But here, the 'old' S8 received Pie in Europe before my TW version of U11+. HTC isn't as before anymore. They don't listen to their fans/customers at all and never answer when asking for information or something! I'm about to change from HTC to another brand for my next device...

I'm still stuck on December 1, 2017 security update but contrary to your example I did get 1 or 2 updates back on January 2018 when I got the device.

Nothing much since then though.

---------- Post added at 02:26 ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 ----------

Manually like go to About phone, software updates and see if something comes up?

If it's a region lock issue maybe a VPN will get you around it?
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kingmonkey88:
If it is a region lock then there would be no updates. But the phone did update when I first got it in JAN 2018.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kujoswrath:
They may have changed something since then to block updates to certain regions. If you have access to a VPN that allows you to appear to be from the region the device was made for it might rule it out.

Honestly, I think it's just HTC being garbage with updates these days but a VPN would rule out region locking.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kingmonkey88:
I ran it through a VPN app on the phone. Tried it via Taiwan and Hong Kong location but it still says no updates available.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kujoswrath:
That sucks! ?
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gortys:
Not at all!!! The fact that you receive the update depends on the version of the phone you have, not on the place where you are or pretends to be (with vpn). For example, I own a TW version and I'm in Belgium, but I received the update as every other Taiwanese versions of the phone! Because HTC always pushed tw version first. It only means they didn't push it yet on HK versions! Wherever you are, you won't receive it until they push it on your version!

If you wanna change that, you have to unlock your bootloader, be in s-off state to change your CID, it's like a localization identifier!
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kingmonkey88:
That's what I thought as it did update when I first got the phone, but the fact that it's still not updated since then now coming on to nearly 2 yrs...

Not that bothered as the updates these days are generally minor and the phone is running fine.

Will just wait for the update to be pushed.

Hello, so the update is out.

I have a European Unlocked DualSIM U11+, stock with unlocked bootloader, rooted with magisk and modified the mbn with the QPST and PDC tools to enable VoLTE.

Flashed back the original boot to unroot, tried to update by OTA, but it gets stuck at 24% and shows red triangle and exclamation mark.

I thought it's because I might have touched the system partition so I flashed back the system.img, I never changed the recovery.

But still no success, still fails at 24%. Tried to flash back a clean image of vendor.img but it would not let me.

Any ideas what is wrong ?

I know I can flash an old official RUU by sdcard and the update multiple OTAs, but this requires a factory reset

and I will need some time to backup. Was hoping I can somehow keep my data.
