I would do it, with at any hasitation... I 2ould kill for some aosp love.... hate how emui handles memory for instance... software ans support s#cks big time, the only things I love from my mate are the charging speed and camera
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] crixley:
Pixels have even worse memory management actually. I agree with you on the software front though, emui is definitely not something I like about this phone.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] demon2112:
I don't know about Pixel memory management, it should be fine now... I know it was an debacle, I thought Google had fixed that though........ any way.... last huawei for me ?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] crixley:
The only thing I really her about this phone is emui.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] LuMe96:
Hi,

I actually have both, Mate 20 Pro and Pixel 3XL and am switching back and forth regularly as I can't make up my mind (I'd love the mix of the 2 ;) ).

Regarding Pixel 3XL vs Mate 20 (keep in mind it's the Mate 20 Pro) :

Pros :

•	"Clean" Android vs EMUI even though EMUI has some nice features (eg screenshot gesture)

•	Regular firmware updates (M20P is said to get monthly but not as far as I am concerned)

•	No Bootloader lock

•	Android Q 1st day (wait to see when M20P will get it)

Cons :

•	Battery (hard to make a full day with my usage vs 1.5 days easy on M20P)

•	Missing wide angle which is pretty nice on M20P for landscape pics

•	Memory management (even though greatly improved compared to the beginning)

•	No Miracast

•	No Dual SIM / SD Card

•	M20P has better (more vivid) display in my eyes

As far as my usage is concerned, other than Wide angle, both cameras have sufficient quality.

Now even though the Cons list is longer, it all depends on the importance YOU put on each point. I'm on the Pixel 3 XL right now for the last 2 weeks (M20P in a drawer) because the Android experience is globally more satisfying to me (and being able to test Android Q Beta 4).
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] tweedie:
I too played around with pixel 3a and pixel 3 (not xl).

As LuMe96 says, he is pretty much spot on there, so won't repeat what was said. To be honest, having a clean android is a shock coming from EMUI - feels more swiping going on. Like for example to get application list, you have to hold and swipe all the way up, where as M20P you have an application button. EMUI is more polished.

Comparing cameras - apart from macro shots (which isn't in pixel), night sights is really good (ie, in dark room I was able to read my b'day card, whereas M20P I couldn't). AR mode is very good (you see marvel character in your viewing space as if he/she are there), unlike M20P was rather crappy. You certainly don't find as much camera effects then M20P.

I can't seem to set the shutter speed to like 30 secs on pixel whereas you can on m20p so stars photos isn't great. Might be able to get a better camera app, but afaik, I don't think you can set the shutter speed more then 2s.

I haven't noticed any slow downs or lags, but having said that, I don't play games. It can handle many apps opening at once.

3a camera shots - there is a tiny tiny lag as its rendering the photo you taken, but it doesn't effect the photo speed you taking - it just the rendering.

I get a bit of a storage anxiety - you mindful of lack of storage so if you thinking of installing big fancy 3d games, then i may come to be an issue. (i think you got about 56gb remaining with clean os)

I got a pixel 3 cos I found a really good deal (cheaper then 3a!). 3a isn't that much different to be honest -if you are a type of person that gets a good case and screen protector, then you probably don't need gorilla glass. wireless charging dock is £80, so if you not bothered about wireless charging or paying a fortune for the dock, then 3a is best. Can't remember if pixel is waterproof, but on M20P if a spot of water is on the screen, I found the screen a little unresponsive anyway.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] crixley:
You're literally the only person I've ever heard say this
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] tweedie:
Haha when I say polished I meant glossy! Shiny colour schemes and all that
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] buxz777:
to be honest i found the biggest draw backs with the pixel phones the much slower charging speeds and the much worse battery life are really noticeable after having the mate 20 pro and its the two biggest things that made me sell my pixel 3 and keep the mate 20 pro , the battery life and charging speeds are absolute game changers for my usage

updates are nice to have fast but i found emui 9 to have more features and better gestures than stock android and you can theme the mate 20 pro so easy with launcher/theme/font/icon pack etc that emui9 can look very good and more how you want it to look rather than stock android

i like the pixel 3 camera but i also like the mate 20 pro camera , both have strong points and weak points and both are fun to use with great output but i do tend to lean towards the mate 20 pro camera due to its features and versatility although no flash in aperture mode bugs me

i also really like the nokia 9 and prefer the camera output to both the pixel 3 and mate 20 pro , however it also has a smaller battery and slower charging times and again after using the mate 20 pro i really notice that
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] efalis:
I prefer the Mate 20p - probably a subjective thing.

I forget the waterproof rating on the 20p, but the Pixel 3 is one value lower (my wife has the Pixel).

I also agree about using an alternate launcher and theming for dealing with clutter. I used Apex for a long time, but yesterday tried out Smart Launcher - very nicely organized with a simple home page, search page and widget page. The best part is the application page, with categorized subsections. Very elegant, and maintains the phone gestures (or customize your own). Here are pics of home page and one of the app screens with the theme I currently use.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] ChongoDroid:
I had the pixel 3 and gave it to my mom and bought the mate 20 pro

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ARDV:
Hello,

My eyes have a big sensibility to light, and they hurt my when using my phone, but in older versions, when I change the gamma settings I feel better, I was using this app "Advanced Color & Gamma Control‏", but this app is not working now, and it's written in its description: "NOTE: GOOGLE HAS DISABLED ALL modifications for GAMMA control!".

I tried using f.lux and other similar apps but they don't give the same results as that app I've mentioned (which changes the gamma settings).

So, how can i control the gamma options of my nexus 4?

i'm using now CarbonRom (Android 9.0).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitin.chobhe:
Try installing kernel adiutor and see if that helps as mentioned in this post.

I'm doubtful as you mentioned that Google had disabled all modifications for Gamma control; but no harm in trying.

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ARDV:
in the screen settings, there is no gamma control, i just find the screen color settings.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitin.chobhe:
Then I don't think it is possible anymore. You'll have to live with that :eek:

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ARDV:
what about installing another kernel, will this help?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitin.chobhe:
I don't think it'll make any difference.

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ARDV:
in earlier versions, i was using some kernels that have gamma control in their options.

I took a look in the available kernels in this forum, and i found some of theme which have the gamma control option enabled (mentioned in the kernel features), but they are all old kernels for earlier Android versions. so may be if i find newer kernel for nexus 4 which supports android 9.0 and has the gamma control options may be it will help, or may be it exists a method to enable the gamma control in the kernel that my ROM is working with.

https://github.com/LineageOS/lge-kernel-mako/commit/d68eef65c3886ce1f9e96822c3f05f778ae21aa6

Proably this patch, but nothing in userspace uses this since cm14, but if apps such as kernel aduitor still support this, [MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION] can maybe add it to his carbon rom kernel.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitin.chobhe:
Thanks man! I'll pick this commit and test it before next Carbon weekly gets built (i.e. next Wednesday, 26 June 2019) :fingers-crossed:

Nitin
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cice96:
In the meantime you can try this kernel I compiled a while ago which also has gpu oc and undervolt support.

Use Smartpack kernel manager to set the gamma profiles.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ARDV:
Thank you, i've installed it and it's working well.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ARDV:
It is working well, thank you very much.

in ' Kernel Adiutor' i can just change gamma to predefined gamma profiles, is there a way to change it manually?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitin.chobhe:
No idea about that. You need to dig in further.

You're asking something that is purely personal preference.

I Think sony look like a children in nursery and Other brand like a Profestional , Doctor and Teacher for sony, You know I am SONY fanboy 12 Year I use from Sony ericsson between now Xperia I see Improved but too much Xperia lerning like a turtle.

We want Gcam.:crying:

I can tell you before X1 my last phone was the Oneplus 7 Pro and the GCam on this phone wss a miracle.

Camera pics they almost always lose in comparison..

But 1 year ago, on Vivo Nex S Gcam was an awful experience in terms of WB and color fidelity... All depends on the producer
[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] oomwaa12038:
YAAASSS !! I agree on you maybe i think quit sony fanboy .

because sony doesn't listen to fanboy. This year I am very tire cheer up Sony

I pre order Xperia 1 from taiwan because Sony don't sell my country cause I love sony too much but sony don't love fanboy .

If sony Xperia1 can't use Gcam mod before Pixel4 Opening

I think Xperia1 my last phone like you .:(
[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] WhatGear:
I agree a GCAM port would make the world of difference when it comes to night performance! I just compared it to the OnePlus. The results were quite shocking.
[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hildr:
I Don't know all the fuss about Gcam. Night mode are Always so unatural… But since phone can't grasp anything usually, it's an ok solution. But the Xperia1 is really good to take photo "as you see". I took some photo in very dark place and it turned dark yes, but the same darkness I had in front of my eyes, and that's great I think.

Anyway, a matter of taste I think, but it's somewhat sad when a phone has really good low light abilities, and people are like "if no gcam port this phone is dead"...

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] thatrandomnpc:
Not sure if this is the right thread to post it, it'd be helpful if the mods can categorize it correctly as I'm not very frequent here. So it here goes.

I had the Moto X 2nd gen (2014) for about 3 years and I really enjoyed the phone for the time. The 2gb ram and 16gb non-expandable storage was becoming unusable in 2017 and certainly the abysmal battery was not helping either. So was looking for an upgrade and was not planning to go back to Moto ever since Lenovo took over. Yes I'm a sucker for stockish android, so there weren't many options at the time. I'm not a heavy phone user, mostly do phone calls, texting, youtube and music streaming, GPS navigation, some occasional photos and very light gaming as I don't enjoy mobile gaming much(pcmasterrace here). Then the mi a1 was announced with android one program and it definitely seemed like a good deal to me. So bought one the same month it came out. Initial impression were like it's sleek and felt premium and performance seemed slightly better the Moto X2, hated the big bezel, capacitive keys and size of the phone. Overall was happy with it.

3 months on using it, it just died one day. Wouldn't power on, led doesn't light up when connecting the charging cable. Took it to the service center and got to know that the motherboard was dead and since there was no water or physical damage, they offered to replace the board free of charge. But I insisted them to get me a new unit, which they agreed to. And this whole process was quick, I got a call within 1-2 hrs after dropping it off on the first day and got the replacement on the second day. The replaced phone screen had a slight yellowish hue but I got used to it and have been using it till now.

Now here comes the bad part. Not sure if it's just my unit, but cell reception is really bad, calls don't always connect the first time, data doesn't work unless you toggle airplane mode and always had to rely on the home and work WiFi and made a habit of downloading media for the commute. I'm based of Bangalore/India on Vodafone network and most of the other people I know on the network don't have this problem. I don't even want to talk about the GPS as it's a joke. So majority of the things I do are not very doable. Heard many people telling flash a custom roms etc, have to say been there done that and always returned to stock rom because of stability, reliability and security(apps from work require stock unrooted encrypted phone). And what pushed me over the edge was the power button stopped working about 6 months ago, and read online that it was a very common issue.

Finally decided to jump ship and ordered the one plus 7 base model. Been using for about 10 days and aside from being a landslide in performance vs the a1, finally able to stream media, phone calls connect the first time, hurray!! The GPS works like it should and it feels like worth while upgrade from the Moto X. I still hate the size of the phone but at least the bezel are not that big.

An advice to phone oems, try to get the basics right other than adding unnecessary redundant features.

Peace
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] nicolasmart:
My Mi A1 has definitely had some issues over time but nothing like you described. In fact the Mi A1 is the best smartphone I've ever owned. The Lumia 630 was great (I was a Windows Phone sucker), my Moto G 2015 was quite good (left it mainly because of battery issues) but compared to those - the Mi A1 is excellent. And yet there are still much better phones.

But my Mi A1 is still usable, no cell reception issues as you described.

[Asus Zenfone Selfie Questions & Answers] Taknok:
Hello,

I have a Asus Zenfone Selfie stuck in bootloop. It is full stock without root, usb debugging or unlocked bootloader. The phone just shutdown without warning and is stuck in bootloop.

I want to recover data like contacts saved in system and pictures so I cannot just wipe everything to get the phone working. I tried various methods without success.

What I thought : I need to unlock my bootloader to load (or flash) a TWRP for backup or root the phone ; but the phone is in bootloop and I cannot install the official Asus application to unlock the bootloader.

=> Is there any way to unlock the bootloader without the application ? (I found methods that required root :

adb shell ; su ...

but I have no root on the phone )

I also tried to get root without unlocking the bootloader (1clickroot, quickroot ...), but all failed (no error in terminal but can't flash TWRP).

=> Is there a way to get root without unlocked bootloader ?

I also have another zenphone selfie with root and lineage if any hack would need one copy.

Thanks

Edit : I gave up and wipe the userdata partition, but I'm still interested if anyone has a hack.
