[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] mumin1986:
So i've got Mi a2 device and from the last week it has a brighter screen sections, around whole display (looks similar to the p20pro glue gate). So i decided to send it to the Amazon, but currently I am using the PixelOs ROM, so I need to flash it back to stock Rom, and then lock bootloader. The problem is, that I can't flash it via MI Flash (device error, or smth like that, all device tools doesn't work at all too), and when I wanted to just Flash it in TWRP I recognized that's support only .zip files and the Rom is in a diffrent format. Last time, I did ,,big back to the stock rom action" I found a website, with the commands, that allows you to flash it with GZ file, and Minimal ADB and Fastboot, but I just Can't find it now (Thanks Google), so I'm asking here: How can I back to the stock rom using Twrp only (or command prompt ofc).

[Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers] GOrMHATRe:
My xperia X is my secondary phone that I use to experiment with ROM & Foss. It has unlocked bootloader, root & TWRP recovery installed. I was trying to upgrade from unofficial LOS 15 to unofficial LOS 16. It failed during flashing vendor image. While trying to troubleshoot this, I wiped & formatted data & repaired & mounted partitions & flashed some other images. NOw in the end, the phone has lost whatever files that help phone identify as Xperia X. As a result, no ROM is getting installed on the phone. Even when I tried to flash Sony's own firmware using Flashtool, it refused saying incompatible device. Xperia companion also does not recognize the phone.

Another problem is no matter what I do /vendor partition remains missing. I flashed sony binaries, TS partition backup, vendor.img file I found in another ROM but vendor partitions remains missing. I managed to flash LOS 15 again by modifying its script but it is not stable at all. The UI crashes, Apps crash, Phone restarts randomly. Can anyone tell me How can I repair my phone? Which files are needed to identify my phone as Xperia X & where can I find them ?

Your best bet should be Emma. Back when I was messing around with OmniRom, it managed to recognize my phone and flash stock fw back on it while Flashtool or Xperia Companion failed.

Remember, it's not a hard brick unless your hardware or the bootloader fails.

Well, its not hard-bricked since I can flash LOS 15.1 by editing a script in it. But like I said it becomes unstable.

Tried RR Beta 1 and OmniRom Beta 2. Really liked both of them but had a few issues:

-Camera (app) is worse than stock

-No rise to wake (or comparable)

-No wake screen for notifications as far as i remember (really grown attached to it)

-Bluetooth issues, cannot connect to my Jabra Elite 65ts

Especially the Bluetooth thing is a big problem for me. At the moment i'm staying with stock EMUI + root since you can just reflash the stock recovery_ramdisk and then update normally.

Hi,

Not even two months after device was released, it seems that the Support page for the Gobal devices is closed !

When I click on the "Support" on the redmagic.gg homepage, I am taken to a new page that says : "This support site doesn't exist anymore"...

That looks really promising !

So to sum it up :

- Specs announced : brilliant ;

- Global ROM : disaster ;

- Updates to expect : none => the ones given do no apply to the end ;

- Since 2 days no more ability to transfer files over USB ;

- Support site closed...

This device is a pure waste of money.

As a lawyer I'll ask them where they are located and I'll sue them unless they give back support or refund.

Regards.

"Oops! This help centre no longer exists

I suppose they are switching the support centre, which is a good thing, since support was a joke :).

Regarding the global rom being a disaster, the updates not coming ( I just received one ) or the usb not working ( it does for me ) I disagree with you.

When I click the support icon it opens my facebook messenger...
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

Here is the thing for me (my own point of view).

The Global ROM lacks a lot of features you may expect from such a device.

Among other things :

- working dark mode ;

- gesture navigation ;

- always on display ;

- immersive mode (the one here just displays 3 lines in Chinese...) ;

- app lock / persistent apps in Recents ;

- front LED control...

I think all those can be considered as "must-have".

And funny thing is, Chinese ROM has some of them...

Some of the features can be added by installing apps from the Play Store, but most of those require a rooted device.

But if the device is rooted, it seems you won't be able to apply the updates :(

Speaking of updates : there has been one update.

But if I lok at the changelog, it seems they're focusing on... I could not really determine on what.

But certainly not on adding the missing features everyone is complaining about in the threads here.

But OK, we've had one update... How many others will we get ? And will they gring us the missing features ?

I could do with just ONE addition : the App-lock in recents to make the app persistent.

Of course, you can consider that the ROM is superb : a stripped bare AOSP that allows you to customise to your likings, with 0 bloatware and 0 uneccessary features.

I agree about the USB cable... It stopped working for some reason yesterday. It reworks now. What happened ? That will remain a mystery...

Then about support :

- did you ask them one question ?

- if so, did you get an answer ?

- how long did it take to get an answer ?

- can you access the support page from the official webpage (redmagic.gg) ?

- can you download the Europe/UK version of the ROM ?

I am sorry to say that I am not confident at all that we may have regular updates. And ZTE's reputation in the area is a hard one :(

Regards.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nightwish1976:
I would love to have proper dark mode on my phone.

Also, official AOD would be nice, as the AOD apps from the store can't compare with the official AOD of my previous phone ( Samsung S10+ ).

Locking an app in recent is a normal thing, I don't know why it's missing.

Support, as I said, is inexistent. I sent a couple of questions to them and realised from the answer they haven't even undestood me ( probably using Google translate eng - chinese ).

Weirdly, apart from these issues, I love the phone, its build quality, its speed...

And receiving 1 update in 1 month of ownership is something...
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

Well, all I have mentioned except the locking app in Recents can be added if your phone is unlocked and rooted.

There's even an AOD Theme for Substratum, and it looks like it doesn't eat up too much battery as the apps from the app store do...

But there is one problem doint things this way.

Most of the apps used need to be enabled in "Accessibility" settings.

So if you can't pin the apps in Recents, deleting all recents just disables all those from accessibility.

So you may loose the dark mode from substratum... but you also may loose any navigation ability !

To be honest : if they could add the app lock in recents (that already is there in the Chinese ROM), I could live with all the limitations...

Good for us : it has 8GB RAM, so even with a lot of apps listed in Recents we're go short on memory.

Regards.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] em902566:
You can easily fix your problem

You have to install your app as system app

System apps won't die or close when you kill them in recent app

You can download application called "link2sd"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD

You must have root access

Open the application and press and hold on any application you want and press convert to system app

And then reboot

Your application won't die at all and the accessibility menu wont rest

[MENTION=5448938]NexusPenguin[/MENTION],

By reading all your posts,it seems that you're quite frustrated about your purchase,and I'm sorry to see you're so dissapointed...

But this device is primary aimed for gamers,and @ this price point,Nubia had to make concessions.....

TBH,for getting all bells and whistless,people should buy a REAL flagship,not a -500$ phone and then expect the same behavior of it as a +1000$ machine.........
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NexusPenguin:
Hi [MENTION=1927244]roadworker[/MENTION],

Sorry, but I do not understand what you're saying.

I am not complaining about the hardware, but about the software.

And what I am asking about does really not seem extraodinary to me !

Navigation gestures ? Is that extravagant ? I think not => Chinese ROM has it, not global. Why ?

Lock apps in recent ? Is that extravagant ? I think not => Chinese ROM has it, not global. Why ?

Immersive mode ? Is that extravagant ? I think not. It is even expected in the Global ROM. But what do we have ? 2 lines of chinese...

Working dark mode ? Is that extravagant ? I think not => it is there but is not working.

A support page that actually shows up on the website ? Is taht extravagant ? I think not. It used to be there... Now it is gone.

I think those features SHOULD BE INCLUDED ESPECIALLY IN A GAMING PHONE...

Gestures to hide navigation bar ; theming of phone to make is "cooler gamer" ; locking gaming apps so they launch more quickly ?

So your argument is not relevant at all to me...

Regards.

A lawyer should know better

If your a lawyer, I feel sorry for your clients...

There should be an established process with your bank to reverse a charge and a consumer protection agency for you to be able to return a product.

However, Red Magic have stated via Twitter and Blog that they have lost their Support system. That is a bad thing, and probably shouldn't happen to a big company but they have said it has.

https://global.redmagic.gg/blogs/news/update-on-support-07-01-support-is-back-up

If you raise a new call on the system you would probably get a better response. I would imagine they also lost self service and probably have not realised it is still down.

Guys, I see the topic went a different way a while back, but just to clarify, I'm in touch with their support as we speak.

They take a while to reply, but I got a message from them still yesterday (support@redmagic.gg) about a bug I'm having about the finger print stopping to work after enabling multiple users - apart from that this phone have been smooth sail for me and as others mentioned, anything I found lacking I got from other apps, so I'm a happy man (despite the slow but still operating support).
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

As you know everything about it, I assume you also know that laws about ability to return a product may vary from land to land...

Indeed, after posting I have seen that they extended the delay to return the product due to a loss of customer support.

But that is a move they made, not something that is mandatory in Europe/France where the delay is 14 days.

And that is what is was BEFORE they did that move...

And all other things you mention do not apply unless you've taken paid options for that.

Anyways,n I am not here to teach french law, but to discuss about a phone that I bought.

I must say that in the beginning, I did not liked it because it was lacking so much features.

But then, helpful people in here (which do not include AnwarAshore) showed me the way...

And so I could unlock the device and root it and add everything that I was missing.

So now I have a phone with the BARE MINIMUM FEATURES THAT I NEED.

And everything is working as it should...

Except maybe battery life that seems to be a little too low, but then again, I've now 2 SIM cards into that device and 4G LTE is known to be a battery sucker.

So 2 SIM Cards probably do not help getting superb battery life...

I would like to say that :

- device is smooth ;

- having no notch is quite nice ;

- having all those LED that I've turned on for notifications only is also quite cool ;

- GPS is wonderful ;

- Face unlock is superb ;

- display is really nice.

On the bad side :

- sometimes touch becoms unreactive and I have to light off display and then relight it to get sensitive touch again -but that might have been because the display had some sticky food prints from my daughters...)

- camera is not even average with stock software ;

- FP scanner is really not reliable :(

All in all, when I see reviews claiming that this phone is far from a flagship offered at an almost flagship price, I must say that I would like to be shown a flagship that has all those features and offering more for say 40 or 50 dollars more...

The only device I can think of is the OP7 Pro and that is about 40% more...

Regards.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] zarlydoug:
Background -

I bought this OnePlus 5T with a smashed screen to fix.

Paid 70 bucks for it plus the screen is just shy of 150 in total.

I was able to replace the screen and frame which was a little more complicated than I anticipated, but it ended well and the phone seems fine, although the screen quality isn't as good as stock.

***Problem - it seems that for unknown reasons, after turning off the screen pressing using the power button, screen becomes black and won't turn on, not until i hold the power button for ten seconds and restart the phone the hard way. Then the phone turns on and starts working again, but if I turn the phone off with the power button then it won't turn on again. I can tell the phone is working behind the black screen, vibration working, notification light working. But Everytime I turn the phone off with the power button I have to hard reboot the phone to get it back on again. Once this starts happening I have to factory reset to get the power button functioning normally again. It will work normally for a day or two and then out of no where the issue comes back again after pressing the power button - screen won't turn on.

Could it be software? I know it might be natural to suspect the screen is faulty, but the screen works normally until I use the power button to turn it off, and then works normally again for a couple of days after a factory reset ...

Thoughts ?
