6gb ram and looks like the same 12mp sensor as the p3

I hope the 12mp sensor is really 48mp binned down to 12mp, and the 4XL has 8Gb of ram...

I really hope Google learnt from their pixel 3 series, putting a 90hz display on a phone isn't an easy task if the UI is laggy (as was the p3xl)

Let's see how this fans out.
[Google Pixel 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Project Soli is extremely powerful, has precision accuracy and might end up changing how we interact with our smartphones. Coupled with an officially-teased DSLR-like software implementation , bigger battery, 90 Hz refresh rate and more RAM, I'm way more leaning towards the 4/4XL than many other heavyweights of recent times with no innovation.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Thrillofit:
Hello guys!

lately I have noticed that I am not getting notifications on the phone in the real-time when it supposed to come. Etc whatsapp messages, Snapchat notifications, Instagram, Emails... You name it.

What I have realized is that I can see that the Wi-Fi connection gets a "Limitation use" or loses the connection but then reconnects again but whenever that happens then I will stop continue getting any notification and I need to turn off and on pretty often.

What is working is that everytime I turn on to 4G instantly I am getting all missed notifications.

I have asked around in my house and nobody has that issue and I do realize it is only on my side and what I have tried to do is:

- I have bought new Router just incase (Still same issue)

- I used same SSID for 2.4 and 5GZ (Still same issue)

- I have seperated 2.4 and 5 (still same issue for each band)

- Rebooted multiply time, even shutdown during the night (Still same issue

And I believe thats about it.

I am using Google Pixel 2 XL and I am using Android beta 5 and this have been working fine until 2 weeks so I am sure it is nothing related to Beta I believe since I have tried to search around for those problems in beta and nobody seems to have that issue.

I would appreciate all kind of help!

I'll be buying thr 3a XL from Vodafone UK. I was wondering if carriers or Vodafone put any custom software or bloatware to the phone. Do I have to wait longer for updates? And can I unlock the boatloader
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] sic0048:
The bootloader generally cannot be unlocked while the carrier has a "sim card" lock. Once you get the provider to "unlock" the phone, then you should be able to unlock the bootloader.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] BakedTator:
I wonder if there is a way around this...looking for ideas

And if anyone on Sprint has had this phone for 50 days and it's not paid off, see if you can get them to internationally unlock it to see if the option to unlock the bootloader is there please
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
Generally, well at least in previous Pixel devices I've dealt with from Verizon (carrier version sold by Verizon), the bootloader is locked permenantly and you can't unlock it anyway at all. Doesn't matter if you get it sim unlocked or not, carrier versions are bootloader locked forever.

I can't speak for other carriers though... Could be different but it's unlikely.

Hi Guys,

I was checking a kernel but I can't seem to download it, I'm guessing it got taken down.

Is there any current way to set the screen refresh rate on the Mi8 to 70hz?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
Do not attempt messing with your refresh rate, if it was something that was safe to do every single rom would implement it. Maybe you weren't around a few months ago when several Mi8 users attempted using a Mi9 mod to change the refresh rate. Let just say it didn't work out to well for them.

Google Camera for Redmi note 9 pro

hello xda community,

I need Google camera for my Xiaomi Redmi note 9 pro. can anyone help me? mobile is not rooted.

I installed arm64, nodpi: Google Camera 7.4.201.322479879.apk but did not work. it closes itself.
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
I think that the apk must be incompatible with your Redmi note 9. You'd better open the Google Play Store app, and from the Play Store, download & install the google camera app into your xiaomi device. The Play Store will automatically match the proper edition for your mobile device.
[General Questions and Answers] zarathustra$:
i know google play but it says: your device isn't compatible with this version.
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
Is there an icon for Play Store on the home screen of your Redmi device?

If not, maybe an apk of Google Play Store should be installed at first in order to activate the Google Play on an Android device like Xiaomi devices.
[General Questions and Answers] zarathustra$:
of course g play i have and its only one source where i an downloading a apps. :)

Is there a rule of thumb to decide between A1 & A2 spec SD cards for adopted storage?

I have just ordered a Lenovo Tab M10 with 16Gb memory. I want to order an SD card to use as adopted storage for running Android Apps.

I was unable to find any recommendations on Lenovo's website. Sandisk told me they are only able to make a recommendation if they have done testing on a specific device.

There is no point in paying extra for an A2 card if I am not going to see any difference in performance compared with an A1 card.

I think this must depend on the random read and write speeds obtainable from the built in memory and possibly the processor.

I know Android does some kind of speed test on adopted SD cards. Is there a rule of thumb we can use to decide which of the A1 or A2 specification cards is the best choice for a particular device?

In my case The built in memory has a speed of 933 MHz.

Now I don't like Pie, camere quality is lower, battery life is shorter, auto brightness is very aggressive (jumps between values) and the UI is meh.

Does anyone have and can provide me a download link for 50.1.A.13.123-R5A? This is the latest Oreo version for my device.

I want the stock/original firmware not AOSP or a custom room.

I needed to Factory Reset my android phone, so before I do that, I took a local backup of WhatsApp chats that is the msgstore.db.crypt12 files. I copied the whole "Databases" folder to my laptop. Then I did a Factory Reset on my phone. After that, I copied the latest msgstore file (after renaming it "msgstore.db.crypt12") to WhatsApp>Databases. After that, I reinstalled WhatsApp. But it only detects the old backup from Google Drive and not this local backup file when I tap OK on RESTORE screen. What am I doing wrong? (I had no idea about the key before today, so is this all now pointless if I don't have the key? I read somewhere that the WhatsApp servers also have the key. Is is true? Also, my phone is not rooted and I don't wanna root it.)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] d0xman:
Hello people,

I have problem with my Samsung Edge 7 and please if you can just tell me what can be a problem and on which way should I go to solve this problem I would appreciate it very much. No need for step by step solution just tell me what can I do except send it to Samsung repair shop or recycle it. I will take it apart by myself if needed but I don't have a clue which part should I look to replace or what.

So... the problem is that I manage to charge the device one day when it don't want to charge and after that I managed to turn it on. Everything was working fine, didn't try anything much just unlock screen and put it to sleep.

After that I turned it off so it don't consume battery while I would be able to backup my data. When I was able to do backup I turned it on and it powered up normal so I proceed to backup my contacts (export to SD card).

When the export finishes phone just froze and I have to turn it off with POWER + VOLUME DOWN button combo.

After that few times when I try to power it on it just froze on boot up logo and I turned it off that few times with the same button combination as before. Until it don't want to power on anymore. So I tried to put it on charger to see if anything will happen, and nothing did.

I just left it to sit on my desk and I noticed that the phone is heating but I got no reaction at all from the phone (powering on or charging)

The day after when the battery was drained obviously I managed to charge it up again but when I power it on after it got to 100% charge it froze again and there goes same procedure as before (button combination restart, no response, heating, battery dead, charging...)

So now I can't even charge it anymore and I took out SD card to check if my contacts are there at least. But nothing, that contacts vcf file is not even saved on SD card even I choose that option when exporting my contacts.

Now I don't know what else to do since my phone wont even charge or power on and I would like to backup my data at least and then I can recycle it if I must.

So please if you have a clue just tell me where can I look at what can I try to do.

Thank you in advance and have a nice day

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] millkyway4:
hey I also have the same issue, putting the phone in the freezer and letting it freeze makes it so that it can turn on for only 5minutes or till when it drops back to room temperature hopefully this will be enough to get your photos back.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] d0xman:
millkyway4 thank you for you reply.

I am not in a possibility to try your method because I disassemble my phone and striped down battery for research purposes.

Neither I think that those 5 minutes will be enough to transfer all my data but if I ever reassemble my phone I will give it a shot.

So... Considering my research and striping down the battery the things goes like this (if someone is interested in this topic):

I disassemble the phone and remove the battery. Battery is connected on motherboard by some connector that I don't know the name or type, so if someone knows I would like to know too.

Since I couldn't find positive and negative lead on that connector (because of microscopic leads) little bit down on flat cable, near the battery, I removed coating and manage to find leads and measure voltage of the battery to confirm positive and negative lead.

By the measurements I assume that battery voltage is fine (~3.7V), but when I connect it to external charger which have built in ampere meter the battery doesn't charge as other batteries and ampere meter readings vary by 100mA +/- I set up to be initial charge. In normal case when I charge batteries amperes only goes down by the time the battery charges so I find this event an anomaly.

Since that is the case I removed the chip (from which the flat cable is coming out) that is on the battery assuming that it is causing that anomaly. Leaving the battery with only positive and negative lead that I connected and also measure and put on my external charger. But the same thing happens as with chip, or what is called, on the battery.

Going further with my research I cut down flat cable from battery chip (electronics) and connect positive and negative lead, I found before, directly on my charger on which I adjust voltage on ~3.75 volts and connect the connector with flat cable back to motherboard. So you probably see what I did here but if you don't the research I want to conduct is that my external charger acts as battery for the phone and I try to power it on like that.

In this case ampere meter shows 0 since the current which is flowing trough the phone is none. After I am sure that this is the case I tried to power on my phone with connected external charger like that and my ampere meter shown a current draw of 100-200mA on the POWER button pressed but the phone doesn't turn on.

So now I need someone with a little bit better knowledge of the phone, batteries, working order and type of connections like this to tell me what did I do right and wrong so I can prove that Ganjax statement, and my assumption, that motherboard is dead is really correct.

Ganjax don't mean I don't believe you or something, I appreciate your reply, this is just for research purposes because I would like to play with this stuff and that is the things that interest me.

And if there is some "fanatic" like that to tell me what can I do next and try or point out what should I do and don't make next please leave a comment and we can discuss this matter together and find out something about this case.

Thank you all and have a nice day
