[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Aeonika:
Hi! I specifically made an account to reply, or rather, to reconfirm, that issues about this topic still persists in my phone.

Bought the Tencent Edition of the ROG Phone 2 few days back, I first encounter this issue yesterday when I open my Maps app and the map didn't load (grey screen) and at that time I was using my mobile data. Searched the net how to fix it, and did a few tweaks (mainly clearing cache, data and removing google account) and thankfully the map loads. However, another issue arises, I can't use Google app, Play Store and can't login on Google Maps. When I try to log in my account, I get the "There was a problem communicating with Google servers", and I assume most of you guys here had that exact problem.

I tried everything that almost every forums recommends. Starting from rebooting the phone, uninstalling updates from Google Play Store, clear the cache and storage of Google Play services and Google Play Store again, checked if my Apps & notifications/Google Services is on, turned on all notifications; permissions; background data and unrestricted data usage on all corresponding Google apps and services (Carrier Services, Google app, Google Play services, Google Play Store, Maps) and turned off battery optimization for the mentioned apps. Not any of the above worked for me, the only thing that resolves it is when I used Wifi to log in.

I know that this may be a minor issue and I know that I won't feel any of it hindering my daily phone usage. But I'm really bothered by the fact that something in my phone doesn't work normally as it should. I have been using Samsung phones for the longest time and haven't experienced such problems before. Is this really a bug and can't be fixed till who knows when, or is there something that I overlooked? Thanks much and sorry for the lenghty post. Blessings :)

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Aeonika:
Thanks much for the help!

I don't have any experience in modding ROM, but I did find a guide here on how to do that. I'll think about whether I'm gonna try flashing my ROM or not, because... flashing ROMs will void the phone's warranty, yes?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] yok3:
If you bought a phone that was meant for the Chinese market in another country, you never really had a legit warranty right to begin with. (at least not with Asus, maybe with the seller if they have such policies)

Chinese ROMs have all Google services blocked. (Google services are banned in China). So you need to flash to WW ROM, sometimes seller will do it when they sell a Chinese phone to a different market, but apparently not in your case.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Aeonika:
That makes sense lol.

Alright, I'll try flash my ROM later. Any noob-friendly guide you can recommend to me? Other than the guide by AryanAA.

And um, I know I can probably learn this if I searched for it, but does flashing your ROM resets/wipes your whole phone? And is there any major changes I should know (like maybe I won't be able to use some features ever again)? And is it kinda similar to rooting your phone?

Sorry for the noob questions, any help is much appreciated. Tqvm! :)

Hi was your issue fixed? I'm having same issues on Rog Phone 2, YouTube, Gmail, Google drive won't load with 3h/4g, they only load with WiFi. Have you for a fix ? Please reply
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] achu.ckr:
Hi guys, coming back to the forums after a long hiatus!

I have this issue also... Gapps don't work great on mobile data but perfect on WiFi... Some are fixed after clearing data but some are persistently bad such as gdrive which is important to me...

My phone is from ebay, its a tencent with a global rom and I'm in the UK...

Looking at my device info, it looks like my phone has a WW rom but a CN fingerprint... I will have the fingerprint changed today, update to 1910 and drop an update...
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Thanos88:
Once you've changed the fingerprint and fully converted to WW, the issues will all be fixed ????

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Anuraggirdhar:
Hi guys. could somebody please explain what does it mean when u say changed to we ROM and fingerprint? And how do u do it? I have bought rog 2 recently but am not able to sign in to Google account on it over 4g or WiFi from another 4g phone(hotspot).
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] zayidhs:
Chinese ROM - CN is Android made for Chinese market while GLOBAL ROM - WW (WorldWide I presume) is Android made for rest of the World.

The phone has firmware for different hardware components.

The phone itself can be on WW & fingerprint on CN.

From my understanding (I may be wrong), even if the ROM is WW but fingerprint CN, since Google play and services use fingerprint for authentication and payments, once it detects the fingerprint is CN, it will block all Google services since Google is banned in China.

What you have to do is:

1. NOTE: To check your current fingerprint, download and install device HW info from the playstore. Under 'system' you'll find the current rom (CN or WW), the product id and fingerprint versions. When you have that confirmed, we'll know where to go from there.

2. Follow the steps from the link below:

Flashing WW ROM and Changing CN fingerprint to WW
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Aeonika:
Hi! Been busy with work, so I haven't got the time to really prepare the files and softwares needed and backing up my files. So, sadly I haven't tried any of the guides posted before this.

But, as I searched additional information from the forum, saw pictures posted and watched some tutorials, I realize that my phone may already be WW version. Downloaded Device Info HW and bam, the ROM is already WW version :silly:

Felt like an idiot lol why tf I didn't check that first. Now I'm really confused about why does Google apps still don't work normally on my phone. I noticed in the forum that the fingerprint version must also be changed to WW version. I have no idea if mine is still CN or is already WW.

Anyone has any insight about this? Thank you :)
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] HomerSp:
Check the Fingerprint row in Device Info HW - it says CN_I001D, that's why Google services and such don't work. You'll need to modify the persist partition to change it.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Aeonika:
Thank you!

Is there a way to just modify the Fingerprint? All guides I read implies that you have to flash the whole thing from the WW RAW file.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] HomerSp:
Since you're already on the WW firmware there would be no point in flashing the RAW file. I would suggest following the guide here: https://xdaforums.com/rog-phone-2/how-to/asus-rog2-cn-phone-flash-ww-root-t4008229 and simply skip the last step where you are supposed to flash the RAW file. So Reboot to edl, Read persist, change CN -> WW in persist.img, Reboot to edl, Write persist.

Alternatively, if you're rooted you can simply modify /vendor/factory/COUNTRY.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] bdkplk:
anyone find how to fix it?

try this go to setting>applications>google service and the allow to use mobile data.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] lianglqufo:
Not sure if anyone figures this out but I just got hit by the same problem and I just got the solution. Hope I can help.

So essentially only ROG phones have this issue means that it's one of ROG's features blocking the data access.

I am using a WW ROM on a Tencent version of ROG2. But this should apply to both CN/WW.

What you need to do is go into your setting -> Advanced -> Mobile Manager -> Data usage -> Control app data usage (don't click set up, click the box)

It should default to the "mobile data" section. If it shows system apps as well, great, go to Google Play services and click the checkbox on the right.

If system apps are not showing up, top right corner three dots menu button then select "Show system". And then proceed to check the Google Play services checkbox.

I spent a couple of hours trying to figure this out, contacted Asus customer services and can't get it fixed. Eventually figured this out on a bus. lol

Not sure why Asus decided to block the data usage for Google Play services but it's got to be one of the most confusing settings I run into for the last decade.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] jonsmif123:
You are a life saver. I literally spent countless hours trying to figure out this exact issue. I can't remember how many times I've cleared caches, reinstalled Google apps... I wish you can repost your solution to any online forum because I bet many people who bought the cheaper Tencent alternative are having the same issues (outside of China).

Again, thank you so much for sharing - I've never posted on these forums before but I just had to.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] lianglqufo:
You are welcome. Glad to help. :D
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Aeonika:
This works like a charm! Like jonsmif123 said, you're a life saver! Thank you so much for sharing this because I lived with this for more than 6 months and finally this issue can finally be fixed! Cheers mate :good:

Skipping the login/setup wouldn't make the stick to an android tv. As you have a FireTV you get FireOS, without playstore/services and other common androidtv things.

If you have the second gen stick named 'tank' you can root the device and get the possibility to install playstore/services, other androidtv launchers, debloating stock apps...

Edit: since yesterday, there is also a lineage rom for tank, link

Hi, I just bought galaxy watch and I cannot get GPS to work. I downloaded a few apps and when I turn on location in my galaxy note 9 I can see galaxy watch fix GPS streight away. But when I turn off location in my note 9 GPS disappeare streight away and never come back. Does this watch has GPS stand alone or only when I use my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] singlecell83:
It's meant to have its own gps. I am having the exact same issue though and haven't found a solution for it anywhere. Somewhere I read disabling the weather apps auto location fixes it but I can't seem to see how to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] oxygenes:
Galaxy Watch has own GPS chipset. Probably now your watch is configured to use GPS from paired phone.

No, its free when you use dns.adgaurd.com
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] grt67DFqyu:
Root: AdAway or Magisk module called Energized.

Non-root: Adguard, Blokada.

Non-root ad blockers use a local VPN as proxy where all the filtering happens, so if you already use a VPN, you can't use both. It's possible to proxy chain, but I never got to it, so I don't know if it works properly.

Custom DNS is the easiest way to have ads blocked without root, however if your telco provider offers deals like free Spotify streaming or any other free streaming, which doesn't affect your mobile data cap, then you can't change the mobile data DNS to AdGuard's, because it will bypass your provider's DNS and will count your data.

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] sgn15:
My current rent phone is snapdragon 652 and I still don't have budget to buy latest flagship (not even poco).

So I saw this seller on a buy and sell shop and he/she sells mi mix china rom (there are ratings/reviews from several customers so i think the seller is legit).

I want to use it for gaming/media consumption. It is china rom (stock miui oreo) with google installed. If i buy it, i don't intend to root it nor change rom. (i don't know how to do either).

Should i buy it?

Is it good for gaming/media?

(assuming the battery is good condition), is the 4400mah battery efficient in standby battery drain?

What else should I be concerned about?

I only saw/read a few reviews because searches always give reviews about mix 2/2s/3, not 1st gen. And the reviews i saw focused on camera/display, not gaming.

Please give me some inputs.

[Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers] Manz21:
Hi guys, first I would like to say this thread should be in the kernel and custom roms category, but I don't have enough rank idk. So let's begin with the question!

Is there a way to install the NetHunter Kernel on Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime? I tried many ways, but I've didn't work. Note, I don't want the apps, I want the kernel because the kernel does all the work, it supports the compatibility with a WiFi adapter. I saw something on yt, about building your own Kali NetHunter kernel, for any Android device, but I'm not quite sure. I bricked my phone so many times trying to find a way, but I'm not afraid because I know how to unblock with MiFlash, and I have the miui 10.2.2.0 rom file, unbricking nu device without erasing my data, just eliminating twrp and root access, but I can do it again.

So guys pls give me a solution, it doesn't matter if it is the crazyest one, because I will know how to solve it ;)

I came here because this community is very big and a smart one, who will definitely solve my problem! Thanks for listening.

No issues for me updated OTA as soon as I was done setting the phone up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] psychofedex:
Don't get me wrong, the phone itself is amazing.

There are just more software issues which are on Samsung.

The always on charging status which will burn the screen

The always on fingerprint while AOD is on which will also burn the screen

Lack of camera resolution settings (actual size of pictures on 4:3 are around 2MB?!?) and pictures are not good as on Note9 or S10

And the feature that I'm missing really much is swipe on fingerprint sensor to drop notification menu down, but on the other hand, face recognition works so damn fast that I don't even need fingerprint.

And speakers could be better, they are dull, without much base.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] SayWhat10:
Hmmm,

I wonder about that possiblity of burning the screen

Yes speakers could be better

But what do you mean no camera resolution settings? I don't even see 4:3 in the options
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] aznmode:
I wonder if the AOD stuff moves slightly every so often to prevent burn in.

UPDATE: Fingerprint AOD moves slightly every several seconds. I haven't tested the battery charging one since I'm testing my battery usage and SOT so I don't want to mess with my charge cycle right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] psychofedex:
There is aspect ratio on the top when you are in the camera (4:3, 16:9, full and 1:1) but you can't change the resolution (MPxs) in the settings, so I'm just getting low quality 2MB pictures.

The possibility for burn ins is great, trust me.

I wasn't looking that much because I disabled it as soon as I saw fingerprint sensor enlighten.

The clock should move a couple of pixels each minute, but I can't confirm that. Sensor will stay there forever.

EDIT: you are actually correct, that **** is moving. :D

Ok, so now, just that annoying charging notification stays forever in the same place.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] aznmode:
The fingerprint AOD moves every few seconds. I updated my post.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Resolution settings are in camera settings. You are not stuck with 2MP pictures.

You're worried about the fingerprint symbol burning in, but not the clock on AOD? Just set AOD to "tap to wake."

My speakers are super loud and clear. But at the end of the day, they are cell phone speakers. You can adjust sound quality by turning on Dolby Atmos and/or changing the equalizer.

As far as swiping the fingerprint reader to pull down the notification shade, why not just set home screen setting to pull it down on a swipe down?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] SayWhat10:
Where is this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] psychofedex:
I would still like if I can disable it from the screen since I know that sensor is there, no need to have it enlightened.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Dolby Atmos is in quick settings in the pulldown.

Equalizer is in Settings - Sounds And Vibration - Advanced Sound Settings

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

I was wrong about one thing, you can NOT change MPs in settings. But it takes pics in 12 MPs on the rear camera, except the ultra wide angle, which is a 16 MP lense. The FFC is a 10 MP camera. Are you sure you're not talking about 2 MB? As in megabytes, the file size?

And again, if you're not worried about the clock on AOD causing burn in, then the FO scanner won't either. Now the charging status I agree with.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] aznmode:
I see what you're saying. But for me I need it there. I kept missing it till I turned on AOD which helped a lot. Also I am glad this fingerprint is so much better than the S10 plus. I hated it on the S10
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
My wife has the S10+ and even though this is supposedly the same FP scanner I think it's much better.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] SayWhat10:
Wow, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] psychofedex:
It seems that I do not have resolution settings. I shooted for over one hundred of pictures and not a single one was over 2.5MB, with compression disabled.

About AOD, we figured that both clock and sensor light are moving so that's fine.

About swiping down, that works on home screen only, not in apps or wherever you are.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
2.5MB is about right for a 12MP JPEG file. That's the size they are on all my other phones. I have to take pics for work, then compress them down under 2MB to email them. Sometimes I don't even have to compress them, because at full quality they are already under 2.5MB.

And I understand your point on the swipe down. I never thought of that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] psychofedex:
That's strange because on the Note 9, pictures were around 4MBs, never under 3.5MB with 4:3 and 12mpx.

My coworker still has Note 9 and we were comparing them, and pictures are bigger on his phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] psychofedex:
There is still hope for both FP sensor light and charging status once they update GoodLock I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
I stand corrected. When I check details in the Gallery, my 12.2 MP pics are between 3.5MB and 4.5MB.

That is weird then.

This may sound dumb, but the biggest gripe I have with this phone is the power button being on the left. I'm so used to it being on the right and touching there and nothing happens!

I can't understand why Samsung wouldn't ship the phone with things like the Atmos turned on as it makes such a huge difference. Most regular phone users are not enthusiasts like us and would just think the phone speakers aren't that great.
