[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] caveman_bob:
re-installing combination ROM fixes recovery (Note it is not TWRP, it is a simplified factory recovery). So, it appears, you cant just write any Recovery with this ROM installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] caveman_bob:
This Rom can receive calls, but not text, there is no messaging app.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jrb12364:
Hi, I'll try to be as detailed as possible but just know that I am somewhat of an amateur with android and I only have surface level knowledge.

I have an Axon 7 that I successfully installed OrdenKrieger's unofficial LineageOS 16.0 a few months ago (build 20181114). I saw recently that there was a new build so I booted to TWRP to flash it, but found that I could not access my file system. I am able to select (in the mount menu) system, cache, and persist, but not data. I then tried to reformat my data based on a thread I found, but then I booted back to TRWP the same problem was still there.

If anyone could help me solve this it would be very much appreciated. I have a few other problems too with root installation and dac selection, but this I am just not able to figure out why is happening.

I am on a vendor partition, but I do not remember which tool I used, just that it was one of the first to come out after Lineage 16 was released for the Axon 7. My TWRP version is 3.3.1-0 and I am not sure which bootloader/modem I installed either.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] stevecaboose:
Maybe try reformating/changing your vendor partition size
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Carlover1998:
I have the same problem, installed LOS 16.0 recently and TWRP is unable to mount internal storage. Anyone have a fix for this? Have tried flashing the latest TWRP via fastboot but didn't help

Hi,

I've just updated the rom for my xda steller but have found that I've no longer got the audio player that comes pre-installed and that works with the hands free remote. All I got now is media player

Anyone got any ideas?

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] MohamedYousri:
Hello All,

A friend of mine will be traveling to china the next week, and i can ask him to get me a K20 Pro device.

So i need your advice if i can later install the Global ROM easily without harming the device ?

A friend if mine wants one too, but he uses the phone in Arabic, So does the Global Rom contain Arabic language ?!

Where to buy the phone from Shenzhen - China, and how much it will cost for the 128/8 and 256/8 versions

Thanks all
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Sukhi:
There's nothing like Global rom as of now. There's either China rom or India rom. Global rom would only be released once K20 is released in Global markets. Your best bet is to either use India or miui.eu rom which both suppport multi-lang. The prices of K20 pro in China have recently received a price cut and your friend can easily get the devices from the Official MI stores. Check mi.com for the latest price, conversion and store info.

To flash EU or India rom or Global(Post Release) rom, you'll have to keep bootloader unlocked forever. Locking it back while being on any other Rom from the Original rom (China) will brick the device.

Not sure if you plan to use any apps that highly depend on a locked bootloader.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] MohamedYousri:
Great and easy to understand reply

If i don't care for other languages, do the Chinese version has English ?! or only Chinese ?!

i can wait till there is an official Global ROM not in rush to install a modified ROM, if then will i be able to update the phone OTA ?!

is there any problem with the phone or everything is working just fine ?!

Appreciate if you can post photos for the box to send it to my friend to get the exact same model

Thanks :good:
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] ef1x:
Chinesse version also has english language, just ask him to look for sealed box that has not been opened before (wrapped in nylon)
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] MohamedYousri:
This color is amazing, and yes there is a nice price cut which makes it even better

Many Thanks, Much appreciated

No mention for device color on the box ?!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] MohamedYousri:
And do you recommend getting it and getting the Chinese version ?!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] MohamedYousri:
is there any problems with the 4G or Network Signal in general ?!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Volenir:
Easy to check, search for yours and your friend's carrier frequencies for every band, then compare with this site:

https://www.frequencycheck.com/mode...[device_brand_id_eq]=&q[frequency_bands_id_eq

This is a list that shows you which of the frequencies does K20 Pro support.

If you want to know about carriers and their frequency compatibility, go there:

https://www.frequencycheck.com/countries
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] ef1x:
on the other side of the box there is color name, china ver doesnt support band 20 (800Mhz) 4g frequency. for me its not big deal because my carrier doesnt use it, but in Germany i had trouble sometimes getting 4g in smaller cities.

forgot to mention that indian ver doesnt have nfc
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Sukhi:
Yep. China version has two other languages apart from Chinese and English. You'll get OTA's aswell. Just that you'll to have to debloat and Install Google Play and Services manually initially. Too much of Junk comes pre-installed which can be uninstalled easily.

If you're getting the device from MI home or mi.com then nothing to worry as you'll get a sealed device. If your friend orders it online (Ali, gearbest etc) then look for sealed devices in the listing or ask the seller in PM. Most of the sellers online, unlock the devices and flash a fake global rom to be able to sell them globally. There's also an MI official store on Ali, which will give you a sealed device. But, if a MI store is closeby, then nothing like getting in person from there.

I have used this device extensively for the last 2 weeks and i don't see any major challenges. Fantastic VFM device with up to date features. Just minor software bugs that'll iron out with time.

China version has NFC as an added advantage which the India unit misses on. Not sure if the Global units will get it. Another advantage of China model is that it gets you beta access. Beta builds (more stable while still being beta) are still available for China only models while Xiaomi few months back phased out global beta builds to focus on stable channel. Android Q beta is only available for China models as of now.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] MohamedYousri:
Thanks bro, much appreciated
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] MohamedYousri:
If i got the Chinese version, and Xiaomi released the device in Europe as Mi 9T Pro

Will i be able to convert the phone to the official EU ROM without any problems or need to unlock the bootloader and lose the OTA updates ?!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Sukhi:
You'll need an unlocked bootloader to flash the Global Rom (Official or MIUI.Eu) Till the time you're on an Official rom, irrespective of whether it is Chinese or Global, you'll always get OTA's. Just that you can't lock the bootloader of a Chinese device with Global rom on it. Moreover, unlocking the bootloader doesn't effect the OTA updates.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] MohamedYousri:
So i will unlock the bootloader, Flashing the official Global, then use the device as normal without any problems

And the ROM will be intact not a modified one ?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Sukhi:
Your use of the device is subjective. Unlocking the bootloader would show the device as uncertified in the playstore. You can't play FHD Videos in Netflix because your L1 certification would be downgraded. Any pay apps that you might wanna use, GPay etc you won't be able to use that.

All.of the above could have been fixed if Xiaomi didn't probhit people from locking Bootloaders of Chinese variants with global roms. This was possible a year back but it's getting harder day by day.

Band 20 is missing on the China Device. Usually the Global variants would have that. Some countries use that band for VoLTE service, check that with your service provider.

Honestly, I can live w/o all the above because my usage doesn't require them. Not sure about yours.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] MohamedYousri:
well i don't mind using the Chinese version ROM, i guess it's even better with quick access to updates

but they said that it has a lot of bloatware , is this true ?!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Sukhi:
Yes it comes with lot of chinese apps that probably rest of the world defines as bloat. Most of them can be directly uninstalled and the rest can be either disabled or uninstalled through adb. You can clean the OS as much as you wish.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] MohamedYousri:
Can i flash the Indian Stock Official ROM to Chinese K20 Pro ?!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] KnalRob:
Yes
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] MohamedYousri:
and the Indian ROM is almost as same as the Global ROM ?!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] KnalRob:
It is the same.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] MohamedYousri:
Great Thanks :D

any guide here in the forum for it please ?!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] KnalRob:
That being said, on a Chinese phone you need to unlock bootloader before flashing the Indian fastboot ROM.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] MohamedYousri:
i got it, anything i need to do i must unlock the boot-loader first , but this won't stop the OTA updates correct ?!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] KnalRob:
Not sure about that.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] 2VJ5:
You won't get any updates after unlocking the Bootloader, but what's the fear, when XDA is here.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] MohamedYousri:
This is my question , and is it confirmed that unlocking the bootloader stops the device from getting the updates ?!!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Sukhi:
LOL..From where do you get that? It's not Samsung. Xiaomi doesn't stop OTA updates on unlocked Bootloaders.

Even in the lastest Indian ROM, L1 certification is also not downgraded.

Stops or Not :laugh::laugh:

Correct ?!

Yes ! The Global rom is gonna be the same Indian rom with few localizations. The base is gonna remain same.

Great Thanks,

Is the Arabic language included in Indian ROM ?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Sukhi:
I haven't checked that specifically but it should be because there are more than 20+ languages to choose on the initial setup.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] MohamedYousri:
This is great, do you use the Indian ROM ? if so can you confirm that it has Arabic please ?!

Hi,

Gadgetbridge (GB) and BIP is awesome together, but when BlueTooth disconnected for a long time -for various reasons

-GB will not try to reconnect.

This is pity so i would like to connect somehow.

GB has an option to initiate connect via notification - notification button see picture.

I tried to use Connect notification button from Tasker, but unfortunately this is not works with Notification Listener app. (it has a feature to push a general notification buttons but GB notification is a customised one -and not works together.)

Any idea how to initiate Connect with GB?

Is there a way to do it with intents?

Thanks

Robert

Im planing to get op7 pro instead of my pixel 3 xl.

It's very important to me selfie camera quality photos and main cameras too, battery life!!! This is the main reason for me-battery life suck in pixel 3 xl! Is it worth to buy it or wait for Pixel 4?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
If camera quality is important, wait for the Pixel 4. For literally everything else, OnePlus is superior - in my opinion at least.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] turbotorsten:
Although oneplus camera got very good, I think it's still not on the Pixel level. So if you need the Pixel camera, wait for Pixel 4.

For everything else, OnePlus does it.

I did just that. Even though I'm happy, i would wait for Pixel 4.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Lesser Version:
Wait for the 4. Sounds like the camera is your main need. For me, everything else is better. Camera is good, just not pixel good.

Imho my op7 pro and pixel 3 take almost identical photos
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] coolhandz:
Coming from the Pixel 3 XL, I was a little disappointed with the camera at first, but the rapid pace of camera updates has greatly improved the cameras. I was just growing so bored of the 3 XL. The OnePlus just has so much more to offer without rooting. For me, the main to get the Pixel was actually the quick updates and the deep Google integration, but after 3 years of using their phones they just got too boring and lagged behind in terms of hardware tech. Plus the premium price of the 3 XL was simply not worth it. I regret getting that phone.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] smariob:
Coming from 3XL and I only miss a little bit the camera. But OP7P camera is just fine, SD 855 is superb and the display without any kind of notch and 90 Hz refresh rate are awesome. Even with all of this going to full up throttle I'm getting 7 and a half hours of SOT. Even warp charge is a deal changer...
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] avivasaf:
How is the selfie camera against the pixel quality?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] coolhandz:
I don't think it is bad personally. I don't take that many selfies to begin with either, but I don't have any complaints. I think most of the times quality is subjective too when it comes to cameras on smart phones these days. Since I got the phone, camera quality has definitely improved and from I am reading on the OnePlus community and other news sites, camera quality is something OnePlus is really working on.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] galaxys:
If you want best camera, then wait for Pixel 4 with big bezel, forehead hump, expensive, etc. If you want everything else, then get the 7Pro! ftw
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
I'm a big Nexus / Pixel user but I have to say the last few Google phones have been pretty crappy and battery life for me.

Nexus 6P blew for battery life

Pixel 2 XL had better life but nothing amazing

Pixel 3 XL almost seems a little worse than the 2 XL for battery life. Right now this 3XL is mediocre for battery.

And I have to say this Pixel 3 XL performance-wise is okay but it's not as smooth as I would expect from a stock pure Android phone
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Paz9:
My 3xl.would get 5 hours SOT on a good day

My 7pro gets 6-7 hours on a BAD day

3xl LAGS like hell

If you're as sensitive as I am the 3xl will bug the living hell out of you.

Those micro stutters and lags destroy the entire user experience

The OnePlus 7 pro is a great phone and is better than the 3 XL. But the 3 XL isn't a bad phone
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] kickenwing13:
I've had the Nexus 6p and the pixel 2 XL. There are little things I miss about stock Android, but this phone is awesome. I find myself fighting the battery optimizations, but I have to assume that there is more battery optimization and or RAM Issues on the pixel 3xl. . my friend may have a faulty unit but he claims that he hasn't been getting great service and he said performance issues. That said even I am doing everything I can to hold off on the 4XL. There are still things I'm trying to understand and work around with this phone but I know it's already got twice The ram as the pixel they are going to push out.

Camera keeps getting better on this thing. Noticeable differences with updates. The selfie cam is actually pretty good and not having that hideous notch would be worth it to me
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] H4X0R46:
I have to agree with others here, the ONLY thing the Pixel has over the 7 Pro is the camera quality. And that doesn't mean the 7 Pro is bad, it's stunning if you ask me! But Pixel beats it there. LITERALLY everything else about the 7 Pro blows the Pixel out of the water. Question is, how much do you use your camera? Deal breaker right there!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] peteus:
I can't believe people suggest waiting for pixel 4. Did you see all the gimmicky "features" Google is pushing? Pixels are overpriced and ugly. After so many misses, are they going to make the perfect phone? Don't waste your time with it. I was going between Google and OnePlus last 5 years and 7 pro is the best phone I had since Nexus 6, and it will only take better iteration of 7 pro to make me switch. If you are photographer, buy professional camera. For anything else, OnePlus cameras are great. I love zoom, macro, wide, so much fun getting great shots.

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

Yes. I came from a 3xl and the only thing that doesn't crush it is the camera. the specs (256gb, 12gb ram, 90hz display, sd855), the price (which wasn't even a consideration, paid full retail for my 126gb 3xl and my Ph-1) makes it a no-brainer. I considered the Pixel 4, but I'm sick of the hardware designs always being 2+ years behind. The notch on the 3xl was absurd and I did not use the wide angle selfie camera a single time except the day I got the phone to test it. I much prefer the no-notch clean look of the 7 pro. The only downside is if the Pixel camera is a 10, the 7 pro is a 7-8ish (portrait mode is lacking pretty bad in comparison especially).
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] klym.software:
If you have the $$$ I'd say it's worth it. The camera on the OP7 pro is really good after the updates (I'd say it is on par with the pixel 3). The selfie camera is not as good as the pixel 3 imo. But then again once they're uploaded to social media and compressed to oblivion they will look the same. Unless the phone camera is being used for a professional purpose I don't think it's really worth fretting over. So unless you need that 5% improvement in image quality it is hard to justify the pixel 3 over the OP7 Pro.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] avivasaf:
As i said, the camera is very important to me for trips, because i dont take any professional camera with me, im not a photographer but last trip i took photos with my friends and everyone said wow this is a real good camera. I had galaxy 10+,p30 pro, they all ok cameras but not more than that, so i went back to pixel 3 xl for the second time this year. But battery, wow battery is a shame, i heard the pixel 4 will have 3700ma battery, so i think its a waste of time to wait for it....
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] mookiexl:
Agreed with most of what you said except that Pixel phones are ugly. Well well at least not the one I have .I think my Panda white 2xl with the orange power button is sexier than my mirror gray 7pro. The 3 and 3xl I consider to be 2 of the most hideous looking phones over 3 hundred dollars let alone that egregious price tag.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Sab3elbromba:
I have just recently switched from the Pixel 2 XL (running Pixel 3 Camera SW) to the OnePlus 7 Pro and I could not be happier, the device feels so much more premium and much faster and 90Hz screen is something else, to be honest I don't miss my Pixel at all and this isn't what I thought would be the case. Camera wise the OnePlus 7 Pro is no slouch the camera is excellent, however if I am being honest it's not Pixel, the Pixel is sharper and dynamic range is better and overall it's a bit more reliable. Having said that I am also very pleased with my OnePlus 7 Pro camera and am not disappointed one bit.
