[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] grillmans:
Hello, I'm new to buying cellphones outside of whatever the local BestBuy is selling. I always bought the cheapest Motorola phone they had. Recently I needed a new international phone and decided to venture out, so I bought the Xiaomi Mi A2. I purchased it on Amazon after reading and watching several reviews on the phone.

My Xiaomi came today and while I was looking through my storage, I saw that the apps total at 36 gb. These numbers are fresh out of the box, no use. Google Play Services is 781 mb, Calendar is 519 mb, Settings is 519 mb, Feedback is 518 mb, Sim Toolkit is 518mb.

What is up with these app sizes? On my Moto E4 plus, the Settings app is 420 kb, not 519 mb! Google Play Services is 17.30 mb on the Moto compared to 781 mb on the Xiaomi. Calendar is 42 mb on the Moto compated to 519 mb on the Xiaomi.

What is going on here? I've tried to find answers, and all I've seen is mentions of the System size using up storage, but mine is only taking up 1.1 gb of space. Is my phone loaded with shady software? Why are the apps so huge?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] laviniu_c:
what's your full version? should be something with 10.xxx pdimixm in about phone.

did you get any ota updates and applied them? that's the easiest way to tell. if you apply an update and it bricks it's shady. if you get no updates ever it's shady.

open up the files app, it has a cleaner and might let you save up some storage space.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] grillmans:
I don't see anything like that in "About Phone." There is Android Version: 8.1.0. There is also a "Baseband Version," "Kernel Version," and "Build Number," but nothing else.

What are OTA updates? I'm new to phones at this level. I understand and build computers, but I'm learning phones.

Thanks for the help thus far.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] mariosenta:
OTA- over the air update. Update your phone to latest version.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] laviniu_c:
what's the build number?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] grillmans:
Alright, I've updated the phone. I'm used to phones prompting me and didn't realize it was something I had to do on my own. Once again, I'm computer literate, not quite phone literate yet.

Now that the phone is updated, the "About Phone" section has changed.

It now says I'm Android Version 9, Build Number PKQ1.180904.001.V10.0.7.0.PDIMIXM

The size of the apps went from 36 gb down to 5.4 gb total, and my System size went from 1.1 gb up to 13 gb. Some apps still seems large, like "Settings," being 41 mb now, but it's a big improvement.

Is there an explanation for what happened here? Is this normal? I know Amazon had terrible track record for fakes and counterfeits with how they handle their inventory. Does anything I've described sound like a problem?

Thank you again for your time.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] laviniu_c:
i guess the storage counters were bugged in that first version you had...

you should get an update to 10.0.8 soon.

if it updated itself over the air it means the os is perfectly original. so no worries there.

system size 13gb sounds about right - a/b system means the phone keeps 2 installs of the system partition - and depending on what apps you have installed 5gb of apps is OK. open up the Files app it may further let you clean some cache and junk files.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] grillmans:
I haven't got an update for version 10. I've had my phone manually check for a new update, but it says Android 9 is the most recent update as of April 5, 2019.

Is this something I need to pull from the web similar to drivers for a computer, or should it come through on it's own? I just want to make sure I've got a good phone before I start using my passwords for my accounts on it.

Thanks again, I'm becoming fascinated with how deep the cell phone world is. It's like building a PC with all the specs that go along with each phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] laviniu_c:
i meant 10.0.8 as in that build number - you're currently on 10.0.7. we dont have android 10 yet :) - maybe they'll release at the end of the year or early 2020.

no drivers needed, should just recognize the phone.

updates usually get released each month second working friday - next week in this case

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] kriscoko:
so, i was waiting patiently for a very long time for another update, but nothing came. it was when i was on my last straw being forced to look at boxes whenever anyone with an apple device posted emojis did i search around and see there is indeed a 2019 update. i talked to a huawei employee and he told me to DL hisuite on the PC, which i did. when i connected and clicked update, it claimed i was up to date. yet when i checked my emui it's 5.

so, i want to save myself some trouble before i ask to even get the update: did huawei fix the boxes i see whenever anyone using apple posts an emote? and has anyone even had this problem? am i the only one? if the answer is yes to the first question, what can i do to update my mediapad pro since it keeps insisting nothing is wrong with it?

UPDATE: I couldn't find any solution to the problem, did hard reset and now everything is alright. So I recommend not to waste time and simply do hard reset.

I keep looking for new and interesting ones, but it seems only East-Asians are developing on it now, and I cannot read the descriptions or trust the sources. Magisk is the new hotness, and has quite a bit of useful stuff on it. Xposed seems somewhat forgotten.

E.g when i open internet explorer there is no text displayed in the address bar but it i can still select the text that is there, it is as if the text had changed colour to white.

When i close the phone all the text re-appears black.

Any suggestions ?

[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] nurps:
I'm shooting mostly raw but sometimes I might occasionally put in photo with one of the jpg only modes (or the phone just messes up and switches back to standard photo mode from pro without me noticing in the moment).

At the end of the day I have about 100 or more photos to skip through searching for usable ones in the RAW folder and a few more in the jpg folder.

Is there a quick way to get rid of the jpg copies of the raw files and just keep the unique jpgs that don't have a RAW copy? Doing this manually is really annoying.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] WM_Rizzo:
Until somebody recommends something better - did you try any of the "find duplicate files" apps? A decent app should allow you to specify file types to search for and file types to delete. But even if it searched all file types, it would still be easier than doing it manually.

[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] missioner:
I know this question has been asked already but I was wondering if anybody can tell me if the TWRP and other variant firmware are compatible with this device.

Some background, I received this phone as an exchange for an S3 mini that I took into a repair shop, as the mechanic had lost all the working parts of my original phone.

I have updated all the apps and it appears to be working well, it's just that I would like to update the firmware to something newer, such as the 5.1.1 from the g361f or at least the 5.0.2 from the g360h.

Perhaps one of the guys in the forum are a samsung expert and could explain to me what the differences are between the variants and why flashing firmware from another version may or may not work.

P.S. I am familiar with Odin and have flashed many other Samsung phones with both stock and custom firmware.

Thanks in advance.

When starting/ restarting the phone, it turns on amd tells me to sign in to get app notifications (I have password on boot enabled). However about 15-30 seconds of using the phone (after entering my pin) it reverts back to the boot screen (black with the flashing Samsung logo) and goes back to the 'sign in to get app notifications' and I have to enter the pin again.

[Magisk] supelele:
Hello,

so i've a strange issue here.

i installed ViperXSound Module from Magisk Manager and my Rom was not booting anymore in rooted mode. (stuck in huawei logo)

I was only able to boot in non rooted mode and i had no way to remove the module since magisk was telling me the device is not rooted yet.

so i installed twrp and after using google i found out that the magisk modules and magisk itself is stored in /data/adb/magisk.

so i flashed twrp recovery and went in /data/adb.

After doing ls -al i found out the directory, by the last modified date. so it had to be the magisk module (couldnt see **** cause /data is crypted.

i removed the crypted directory by doing rm -rf "someWeirdDirectorycrypted****".

i repatched magisk_patched.img by doing fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk and started in rooted mode.

there we are, magisk is in "installed" state and modules are empty. BUT , system is crashing now after about 10 seconds and it says "no sim".

i can still boot in non rooted mode and everything works fine.

any ideas?

many thanks

Is there any regret after updating from oreo to pie for you? like call recording? battery usage? app problems?

thank you.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] lilbrat:
hmm, are you rooted.. adventourous.. backed up your TA partition, still on Oreo.. there a point to this.. call recording don't need it.. problems with apps not with the ones I use, all though I've deleted 98% of the apps I don't use ( reason for the rooted question) I have 2 Sony apps.. camera and the album apps.. the rest are Google apps, the ones that I like.. Battery life for me is fine as I don't game on my phone as I have a large computer for that, so I make it through the day just fine with all the YouTube I like... sot 6 to 7 hrs easy.. any issues, for me none an I was one of the lucky ones who didn't have to wait for pie to be released and it has been fine..

I think the worse part for the XZ1 is the lack of interest.. especially with pie.. no kernels persay or roms.. But you asked a subjective question and folks will give you different answers as per their experience, in the end you won't know till you try it an see, if you don't like it there are methods to go back to a version that you do..
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] tombbb:
