[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] -sofiann-:
Thank you for the answer.

You assume right. I enabled developers settings first, saw that I didn't have OEM unlock option visible, then started to look about this issue. It is quick to see that in many case, even for phone not on OREO (I'm with Marshmallow 6.0.1), this OEM unlock is missing. But based on internet available data, it seems that in most of the case there is a trick to make it visible again. It is a sort of samsung security against thief that hide this option for seven days.

The trick didn't work for me and by looking more I saw that some people seems to be facing the same situation as mine. Some suggest that it is disabled by carrier.

But I couldn't find a solution anywhere for that context.

My question remains.

Here is a more detailed explanation :

from https://www.howtogeek.com/239798/how-to-unlock-your-android-phones-bootloader-the-official-way/

""There are two kinds of phones in this world: Those that let you unlock your bootloader, and those that don’t.

Whether you’re allowed to unlock your bootloader depends on the manufacturer of your phone, the model you have, and even your carrier. Nexus phones are all unlockable by nature, and many phones from Motorola and HTC allow you to unlock your bootloader through a similar process as the Nexus.

Other phones, however–and some carriers–don’t allow you to unlock your bootloader the official way, which means you have to wait for developers to exploit a security vulnerability if you want to root and flash ROMs. If you have one of those phones, this guide will sadly not help you.

The best way to find out which category your phone falls into is to browse its section at XDA Developers. If you have an HTC or Motorola phone, you may be able too research its unlockability on HTC or Motorola’s website. If it doesn’t support unlocking, you’ll have to use an unofficial unlocking or rooting method, which you’ll usually find on the XDA Developers forums.""
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] SnowFuhrer:
The trick didn't work for you because there is no security thing on marshmallow. What carrier are you on if you don't mind telling? Samsung's aren't bootloader unlocked like other phones.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] prototype74:
The Galaxy A3 2015 (SM-A300FU) has no OEM unlock as A3 from 2015 don't even have FRP Lock, neither it has RMM state. That means there is no lock which prevents you to flash any custom binaries like TWRP recovery with Odin. You'll only lose access to knox apps/services (because of knox 0x1), rest remains the same.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] -sofiann-:
Hi !

About my device, here are details :

Samsung A300FU

Android 6.0.1

BASEBAND VERSION : A300FUXXU1CPH3

Build number : MMB29M.A300FUXXS1CQD5

Carrier was French company called Bouygues.

About bootloader lock or not, I can see on various website that many samsung are bootloader locked but can be unlocked easily by this OEM unlock option. Sometimes it is missing. Two reasons for that : Security check that is removed after 7 days or apparently permanently removed by carrier or geographic area control.

If i'm in that last case, is there any other solution to unlock the boatloader ?Or the phone is just unrootable. It seems strange to me that some phone are just unrootable.

Thanks again !
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] SnowFuhrer:
If you read [MENTION=5377656]prototype74[/MENTION] 's post it explains it quite well. I think your bootloader is already unlocked if I read right.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] -sofiann-:
Hi !

Thank you very much both of you for your help. Indeed there was no OEM unlock.

Many posts talking about OEM unlock existing on that A3 and the fact that I couldn't check if it was locked or not using the two methods advised (with adb or with a special code to dial up on the phone interface) led me to stop at that step to be sure before going on.

It is advises not to root a divise with a bootloader locked to avoid bricking it.

Anyway, trusting your input I did the whole process of rooting and putting a custom rom and it's all great !
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] tomri:
Hi,

a lot has been written about how to get OEM unlock but there do not seem any definite answers. That's why I want to contribute my experience and ask for advice.

I took my brand new A50 (A505FN) fresh out of the sealed package, charged the battery, disconnected the cable and powered the device on without inserting a SIM card or anything else. I then skipped whatever could be skipped of the initial setup without enabling WIFI or connecting to any network. Then enabled developer settings, and guess what: OEM unlock was not there.

So are the exact steps known to get OEM unlock? 7 days of wait, but how? Connected to a network? WIFI? SIM card? Reboots allowed? Do I have to login to Google, Samsung accounts?

Any advice or experience much appreciated.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] demunted:
This is standard. Samsung doesnt allow the oem unlock feature until 7 days after you own the phone.... but.... you can just roll the calendar back a month, reboot and it will show up! if that doesnt work, disable auto update, connect to wifi and check for updates, when some appear, click later. Reboot and check again. OEM unlock should appear.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] drdray29:
Just turn of devoption connect to wifi turn dev option on and viola then just disconnect from wifi.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mod] Liron123:
Many of you who use gcam know that sadly with GCAM 6 the front camera will refuse to work with HDR+ enabled. (Which is the main feature of gcam) that also means no better front portraits and night sight feature (on selfies) compared to GCAM 5.

Now I wish I could fix this issue, but sadly I am not a developer who knows how to create a fix for this, but I did see other devs which own a different phone and fix this issue using a magisk module such as the OP5/OP5T and Mi 8 Lite. We need to find someone who can find a fix for the Redmi 5 Plus like there's a fix for other phones, and then we all could enjoy superb camera pictures!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mod] GreyHat01:
Sadly no one has ever found a way to fix the problem yet. I wish the developer would've fix it for our device too, but seems like there's no way it could happen in the meantime. It may be related to the system files in our phone that needs to be modified, or it may be related to the gcam app itself whereas some codes need to be modified in order to make it compatible to our devices.

Whatever it is, let's hope it'll get fixed one day.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mod] Moon_420:
What's even worse is now alot of GCams that are v6.2 version got rid of the ability to even disable the HDR+ therefore you can't even take normal pics. Also as result of the broken front alot of modes don't work either like Portrait on front, Night sight on front, Photobooth.. sadly the front is broken. We may get fix one day hopefully.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] Jt380p:
I see that they have confirmed 100000 flips. 28 flips per day for 5 years. The problem is, I'm pretty sure that we're going to use more than 28 flips a day e.g. face unlock, manual flip control, Instagram stories, video calls, taking multiple front video clips (vloggers) etc. I'm a bit worried about it failing in 2 years. So would it be durable enough for the long run?
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] DrVagax:
Only way to find out is waiting 2 years I guess, it's hard to judge. In case Asus messes things up and they start to break everywhere then that would not only hurt Asus's image but also overal all motor controlled camera's.

I personally think it would be fine, perhaps a iFixit rating would soften the blow if they would deem it easy to repair.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] mudnightoil:
That would likely suggest it has ~10% chance of failure after 100,000 flips, and very, very few people would average more than 25 a day over 2 years.

The mech looks well designed, to me.

However if you drop your phone a lot, this probably isn't the device for you.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] Spl4tt:
I'm really not worried at all.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] SDF05:
I think the YouTuber JerryRigEverything is gonna do a test on the durability of the camera in the next few weeks, since he's already pre-ordered it.

That being said, it should last for 2-3 years when most users would be onto another phone, and it doesn't seem like it will break anytime soon.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] Jt380p:
I'm not actually worried, I'm just a bit concerned about longevity.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] jrvenge:
I already spotted a video on youtube of a guy having one where the camera would not return flat properly already, but it was in spanish so hard to understand.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] jaseman:
I'm more worried about dust, lint, and other flotsam and jetsam getting behind, beneath, and alongside the mechanism thereby causing it to gunk up and either not open, or not close properly. I'll stick with my OnePlus 6 non-T version.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] Jt380p:
True, the OnePlus 7 pro has a rubber ring around the base of the pop up camera. The zenfone 6 doesnt have any kind of water protection. So that might be an issue.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] Trixanity:
Until we see a tear-down, I wouldn't be so sure that there isn't any protection. I've heard it's at least splash resistant which I think most models are these days. One thing is not having IP certification but you don't need that to make rudimentary rubber seals.

Of course it'll be difficult to do especially with how much of it is exposed. It's definitely easier for the 7 Pro because pretty much all of it is internal.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] smohanv:
Now days no one bothered keep a device for more than 2 years. So, it doesn't bother much.

Stepper motor!

We all have to wait for a proper teardown of zenfone 6.

But I am sure the liquid cool metal stepper motors are quite durable.

Company claims 28 selfies everyday for 5 years.

As far durability is there but problem is dust accumulation and hinge is getting loose (not getting fully retract).

I got my phone on 5July 2019 and till date it's working flawlessly. Even it once fell into road side drain and was fully sunk in water for about 8-10sec but it runs buttery smooth and thus the camera.

IMO this phone is just superb and much more better than Chinese ****s like Vivo, OP, Oppo, Xiaomi etc

[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

Ordered without the Code but I hope with the Special Early Birds gifts...

Wasn't aware of that code :(

I also ordered the dedicated case.

And I have chosen the "Fast shipping" option.

So far, order is "Unfullfilled".

So they say it's shipped....

So far my order is "Unfullfilled" :(

They can announce that it's shipped as much as they want...

Until I won't get the message that the phone is shipped, I won't believe in it.

And I have some doubts about their approach.

First they say "Red" and "Camo" => "Out of Stock" (as "Sold so fast").

And now it's "Coming soon"...

So was it ever "In stock" ?

Or did they just make believe it was so successful ?

And was the Black one ever in stock ?

Besides : I choose "Fast shipping" for a product supposed to be stocked.

What does "Fast shipping" mean ?

Means I will get in 2-5 days after I placed the order ?

Apparently, it is more : "2-5 days after we will send the product"... Ah. "One more thing... We won't be shipping it before 10 days".

Last : I sent them an E-mail asking when it is supposed to be shipped.

Now, 48 hours later, I am still awaiting a reply... that will probably never come.

And what if I havbe a problem with the phone ?

I suspect I'll be on my own...

Not even received the product, that I already regret it.

So it has to be a HUGE "WOAH" effect :)

But I guess it will be :)
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
The Pro Package is automatic on all orders made before May 29. The code was only for a 5% discount.

But damn still not shipped here and now the website says ''Red Magic 3 (Black / 8GB+128GB) will resume shipping on 10 June'' :(
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NexusPenguin:
I don't really know what the Pro package contains...

Just got an answer from Red Magic Team saying the device should ship today or tomorrow.

Let's see...

I'll keep you posted.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
It was on the website :D It contains this:
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
Yeeeh, it's shipped here, just go the tracking. They send with DHL from Poland.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ermacwins:
Also got my shipping email
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
Nice! Estimated delivery is set here on tomorrow. That really fast if true and i didn't use priority shipping. :victory:
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ermacwins:
Same, delivery tomorrow and I paid the extra for faster shipping because it was only £6 and supposedly safer.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dinges000:
mine was just delivered, also with priority mail. still at work though so cant play just yet..
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
Just got it and was include the pro package, but no powerbank. I also played a bit with the phone and it's very fast. Also the screen is nice with 90Hz. There are some thinks i don't like or can't find.

1. When switch on dark mode, it still stays on light mode

2. No theme engine with theme store

3. Can't find the navigation buttons settings, i want to use swipe buttons

4. Speakers are not really good, when i compare them with my Mate 20x. I also can't find any audio settings

5. Don't like the screen corners, they almost hit the battery icon and when playing a video it looks a bit weird or when playing pubg you miss some screen/text around the corners.

I will play some more with it tomorrow and see if this is a keeper or not. :D
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ermacwins:
Still waiting. 15 days to send it back right?
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dinges000:
Yes same here. No powerbank.

The top speaker only seems to produce higher tones. Also like you said alot of customisation options are missing, like icon grid size, launcer options, notification icons , etc. The cut corners are visible but personally i haven't found it to be an issue... Yet.

Played some asfalt, it got hot and the fan went on. The noise it makes is noticeable when playing with sound muted.

The screen is lovely, very vibrant and games are amazing

I haven't tried the shoulder buttons yet.

Finally the battery dropped from 93% to 63% after 4 hours of gaming and setting up the phone. Pretty great for my standards (coming from a mi8).
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ermacwins:
Got mine, there was pick list and which didn't have power bank. Funnily the pick list had OnePlus written on it, anyone else?
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
The shoulder buttons are great, i played one pubg match and won with 20 kills. Shooting is so easy, it kinda feels like cheating :D

Yeah also here, maybe they share the warehouse with OnePlus :laugh:

About the phone, it looks like that the International software is a stripped down Chinese software. I see on Youtube that the Chinese model has theme support, dark mode and full screen swipe navigation. Stock Android is nice, but they removed a lot of stuff.

You can use asus audio fx for this smartphone to audio equalizer. And without root u cannot add navigation gesture permanently.

---------- Post added at 03:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 AM ----------

Try Microsoft launcher to add gesture and icon best launcher for many customization features.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NexusPenguin:
Hi guys,

Same here... Got the phone the day after I got the mail stating the order was shipped.

It came with :

- a USB cable ;

- a silicon case ;

- the joystick...

But no PowerBank.

I also ordered the extra case, but that wasn't included in the shipping.

I also had a pick list with the OnePlus branding...

As others, I think the device is pretty cool, but the software lacks some features :

- gestures; but I can do that with Fluid N.G. ;

- display settings are really poor ;

- sound settings are really poor also, but I think I could find a software to improve that ;

- no tile in Quck Settings to sync the device ;

- FP scanner with the case is not really reliable for me (fat fingers it seems) ;

- no dark theme even if chosen ;

- no NFC ;

- no always on display settings ;

- messy settings for the back LEDs ;

- slightly curved back is annoying to fit a metal plate to have it with a magnetic holder in the car...

But :

- display is really good even if not great... It's not a "contrasted" as other AMOLED and I like it ;

- battery seems to be really good ;

- face unlock super fast and reliable ;

- network is strong (I have better speeds than with most other phones) ;

- the FP scanner is detected as a button and so can be configured to go to Home when pressed ;

- battery seems to be pretty good, except when fan is spinning ;

- GPS is accurate and reliable...

So I guess with some software development and addings, it could be an almost perfect device...

So far, it is a really good one with a stellar price/performance ratio. For me, it's enough to make this a keeper.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] xphyle1971:
SAME! Just got my USA version and I can't believe there is no way to modify the NAV BAR or to change to GESTURE navigation. I've read other threads that say that the Chinese model has gesture navigation, so they PURPOSELY removed it from the global version. WTF. And I also immediately noticed the DARK MODE issue. The entire settings screen is bright white! Sad. Please provide an update if you figure out how to fix this stuff.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ermacwins:
I think the Chinese version has a completely different skin. As for the non Chinese version, they just put on a basic stock Android without extras, probably last minute that's why it looks really basic.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] xphyle1971:

Rooted Pixel 2XL 9.0

No TWRP

Upgraded Magisk to 7.2 - get error, "Unsupported Magisk Version"

trying to upgrade to 19.x manually, but all guides say, "Then go open Magisk on your phone", which I can't do.

If I downgrade to 6.x, I cannot upgrade to 19.x. So what to do?

Apologies if this has been addressed, but I cannot find a solution
[Magisk] mad0701:
Have seen a similar message under Android 7... unsupported boot img or something like that... After flash Orego, Magisk 19.x could be flashed without any problems
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Guitarfreak26:
Probably cus it's not full adhesive. We need to wait for Whitestone or something like that
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] freaky2xd:
Probably, I think my application was good, I guess the adhesive can't do the job when it comes to the curved edges...
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] JedixJarf:
Too bad OP didn't release one at launch. I assume they will down the road like they did with the 6T.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] freaky2xd:
I'm not sure, they already have one for the OnePlus 7, jsut not the Pro
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] Guitarfreak26:
Cus it's curved :( usually only decent one for a curve is white stone
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] JedixJarf:
Well the 7 is just the 6T, so they just have to update the packaging
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] djsubterrain:
Not trying to be funny but was there an indication on the protector as to where the top/bottom was?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] freaky2xd:
Well the flap of the protective foil that was on the the glass was probably the indicator.

That and the fact that the bottom part of teh black frame was way wider than the upper part...

About 2mm of black adhesive on the buttom and 1mm on the top...

EDIT:

It wouldn't make sense to aline the the thicker black line with the thin bezel

I've sent UltimateShield an email concerning this issue.
