[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] thankyouxda:
Agree on the Note 7 being the last proper sized Note device. Just got a Note 9 since my Note 5 stared shutting down randomly. It is huge and heavy and tall. Only reason I get Note series is for the S-Pen.

Getting rid of notification LED,headphone jack and adding hole punch on display is an abomination. These companies are aiming to make compliant zombies (walking around and sleeping with those apple air pods and samsung galaxy buds 24/7 ) out of their users. On the Note 9 I miss the persistent physical home button and back and recents button from the Note 5. And also the flat screen edges. Round edge is more prone to crack compared to flat edge in case of a fall.

Im gonna go to iphone next. I had the Note 8 and now note 9 and I'm just bored with them. I especially hate the curved screen. I think a platform switch might help for a couple years. Lately Android seems kinda stale and IOS 13 looks to be interesting.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] thankyouxda:
Think I'll be going with LG or Motorola in the future based on the path Samsung is taking with the Note series. Hope they start increasing the RAM size to 6, 8 and higher. Considered Oneplus but it has no sd card slot and their phones are getting even bigger. Need to wean myself of the S-Pen slowly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] clax6:
I've had the note since release. I got bored and ordered the xs max. Spent 3 days with it but I miss lots of every day features from the note that I didn't know i would until i tried it.

For me i dont like hole punch screens so I'm skipping the note 10.

I've just took out another note 9 deal 512 version and given my son my 128 version. I'm happy to sit with this for at least another year maybe more unless something amazing comes out.

Oh ps the xs max is being returned

I personally see no reason for an upgrade. I bought my note 9 5 months ago for 530 which was an absolute steal. I will be keeping my note 9 for the next 2 years

Hi, I still have a Motorola Spice (slider android with physical buttons) from 2010 . It turns on and runs. and phone calls work. Also Moto G from 5-6 years ago. As always YMMV.

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

If Sony continue to keep the bezels and notification led and expandable storage it may be another option I'll consider in the future.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] butchieboy:
I did this exact thing with Note 8. Got one and a few months later got another just in case so I get what your saying. I also found a new in the box Note FE and bought that and I find myself using it quite a bit instead of my Note 9. Dont get me wrong Note 9 is a great device and I might consider getting another. But the prices of Samsung devices have really gotten out of control.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] ohcello:
Hello, I'm considering purchasing this camera, but the OOB 10MP samples are way too oversharpened for my taste and my current LG V30 blow them out of the water. The 40MP shots, however... ha no content the P20 is awesome. So.... is there a way to shoot through Open Camera or another at 10MP and get less processed results? Is there a way to shoot RAW at 10MP? Anyone have samples? Thanks.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] spiderx_mm:
to shoot raw in 10Mp, open your camera app, switch to "Pro" mode, go to settings > Resolution. choose [4:3] 10MP and at the bottom, switch-on the RAW format option. here is a sample of RAW vs processed image.

[LG Q6 Questions & Answers] domix5000:
Hi,

i have LG Q6, at the time it wont turn it on. When i turn on vibrates and show logo for 1/2 secund, than black and vibrate again in 10 sekunds. Than is black and again vibrate maybe on 20sec or 30sec.

If i plug in charger on vibrates once, than black and again like if i turn it on. I think that was dead battery and i replace it and same problem.

I hold voluime dome and power on to go in hard reset menu and if i choose yes, and one more time yes then phone turn off.

If i go in download mode i only see for 1/4 seconds ' download mode and than goes black and vibrates once.

if i go in safe mode pwr, after logo vol down - nothins happend, when turn on i just see logo for one second and than black, i press vol down when see logo but go black and vibrate once and thats all :/

What to do ?
[LG Q6 Questions & Answers] Illuminati Wave:
Battery ded

It sounds like a damaged battery. Try changing it or leave it charging for a while. if it does not react then the battery has definitely died

Edit: I had not understood the part of the changed battery. You took it with a good technician or it just made him "like I change him"
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Guyinlaca:
This phone is the fastest I've ever used and the clean software experience is a definite bonus, especially as a Verizon user. Unlocking the bootloader and rooting was relatively painless and brings me back to the days when Verizon phones could be modded too. I also use a Note 9 which I spent a great deal of time debloating and customizing, but in many ways this phone is better. Samsungs may have better cameras and wireless charging, but are nowhere near as smooth. I had strongly considered the Pixel 3 XL or waiting for the 4 XL but they never deliver cutting edge specs and always have design flaws.

If you're thinking about getting a OnePlus 7 Pro, I highly recommend it.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Hunter3U:
Totally agree. I thought the 6t was really nice for the price, but after getting this, the 6t feels like a budget phone (which isn't bad because its still very good). This thing is on par with every $1000 flagship out there for so much less.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] joshdouglasdavis:
That's awesome. I am also a Verizon customer and an iPhone convert. I love this phone way more than my iPhone. What did you root for specifically?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxys:
Agree, it's faster than a speeding bullet...
[OnePlus 7 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Guyinlaca:
I rooted mostly for customization. I like having a dark gray theme instead of black and Substratum tweaks. Also, it's nice to be able to completely remove preloaded apps.

[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] synaethe:
Given that bootloader is unlockable and root with magisk is possible, I wonder if this method sim unlocking a sprint moto z2 force will work for moto g6 play also. I am not too tech savy but I will try this once I figure out how to properly root the phone with magisk. Please let me know your thoughts.

[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] Spaceminer:
It might work if you've never activated it on Sprint/VM/Boost. I honestly don't think it will though. People have been searching for a sim unlock for some time now, and nothing has ever been found. I know if I follow those steps in the guide you linked, my phone will just register to Virgin Mobile again. I think you got less than a 1% chance of that working.

What I would try... Is pulling the sim before you even turn it on, enabling the oem unlock option, unlocking the bootloader, flashing the T-Mobile firmware, then inserting the new T-Mobile sim. I really don't think it'd work, but that's probably your best bet. Even if that did work, it'd definitely break updates, and you'd have to flash them manually from then on. I really wouldn't try it unless you're willing to eat the cost of the phone.

[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Twotems:
On my NexS Global I have Opera set as my default browser but when I click a link in WhatsApp, for example, it opens in Chrome. I've gone into Chrome settings but can't find anything to disable it. I've also gone into the app in system settings but the default section is greyed out.

This started when I installed Chrome Beta last week so I uninstalled and went back to the regular version. The only way to stop it is by going into the default settings, selecting another browser and then selecting Opera again. But once I open Chrome for anything it takes over again. I need help guys. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Ive downloaded TWRP.img from official site

unlocked BL > fastboot boot twrp.img

i get this error

"failed (remote: 'unknown command')

any ideas?

ive even used the MSM tool to go back to 9.5.3

unlocked BL

rebooted BL and tried "fastboot boot twrp.img" with the same error.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Paz9:
i think if you update to 9.5.8 the bootloader no longer accepts fastboot boot commands.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Bradl79:
9.5.3 does not have that capability, update to 9.5.4

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Paz9:
ok works on 9.5.7 via local updater

ill try 9.5.8 i think the fastboot updater breaks this functionality somehow because i fastbooted 9.5.7 and it didnt work earlier. but doing it via local updater works.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] whatthekj:
Are you typing in 'twrp.img' or dragging and dropping the actual file into adb?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] GUGUITOMTG4:
I tried the command with 9.5.8 and it works well with both CMD and Powershell using minimal ADB files. Looking well, not sure if twrp official is able to boot that way or is meant to be used for just flashing. maybe the one in the guide twrp-3.3.1-29, 30,31 etc-guacamole.img are the ones you should use.

flash stock rom using fast boot
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] GeekMcLeod:
I just got my phone 2 days ago. So I started on 9.5.3 or something. Upgraded to 10 and rooted it by following a guide which is just the usual root method for me but I didn't want to screw anything up.

So I suggest just stay unrooted and upgrade to A10. Then root like normal (fastboot boot twrp, flash twrp zip, flash magisk). That's all I did and I'm having no issues on my phone.
[Palm Treo 750] MSigler:
Please don't lock this, I know it looks like I'm some douche who stole a phone, but check my post history first, I've had a Treo 750 for months.

Last night I decided since I used my mobile email address for bank info and such, I should password protect my phone. I'm running the unbranded WM6 rom, and used the factory password app.

I used an alphanumeric password. It worked flawlessly when I test ran by setting "Ask for password after ____ minutes" to "0".

I woke up today and tried to unlock and it will only accept my PIN. I'm fairly certain I never set a PIN, but I drink a lot. I tried 1111, 0000, last 4 social, last 4 of phone number, etc. No dice. It will only let me input numbers, not my alphanumeric password.

If anyone can get me to the point at which I can enter my lock password, that would be great, alternatively, the factory pin might still apply.

Thanks :)
[Palm Treo 750] mccune:
If I'm correct this is a WM bug.

I set a PIN for locking the SPV M500 I once owned (WM5) and it had the same problem. A hard reset was my only option :(

Is it so that Xiaomi definitely knows you've tampered with the device and no amount of restoring to stock will get you warranty?

[MX Player] Mounter81:
Hello!

I have a Q10 Pro Android Player connected to a FHD TV and would like to use MX Player only for SD video playback. These are most often 720X576 resolution interlaced videos with 25fps (that is actually 50fps due the deinterlace). Variously coded in MPEG, xVid or x.264 codecs.

I can see some options in MX Player that could probably impact the Picture Quality of the playback, like the options to choose from HW, HW+ and SW decoders, then choose 3 different kind of Deinterlace method, an also 3 option regarding the colorspace.

Regardless if it would be working fine on my Box or not, what would be the theoretically best setting for each upper option to get the best possible Picture Quality with these kind of videos?

Thanks!
