Didn't read the entire thread, but the iPhone does NOT do so well because of iTunes or any other Apple feature. The iPhone does so well because it's a popular device that many people have, and a lot people buy it solely for that reason. Unfortunately. It's sickening our society behaves that way, but that's what we've become. Fashion is the PERFECT example of how society behaves! Most people wear whatever is trending this season, regardless of their personal style. Guys are wearing pants tighter than girls now. Some Jordan shoes are difficult to buy because everyone wants them. Most people wearing them don't care about basketball or Michael Jordan, they simply believe wearing Jordans will lead others to think they're "cool". It's ridiculous how so many people so desperately want to "fit in" and/or be seen as wearing something that's "cool", "hip", or like the kids now say "hype". Followers really, REALLY get under my skin, so I'll shut up about that.

I was surprised to see people attack you over the removable battery! A removable battery and SD card slot are 2 very important features to me. Removable batteries are becoming less important, though. Not even because software is improving and extending battery life either, but because hardware is advancing so quickly it's causing devices to become outdated due to the hardware becoming irrelevant in record time.

i'd add fingerprint scanner location and ugly notches/punchholes. i miss flat screen as i cannot make side gestures without 50% error and i miss bezels as it's impossible to hold a phone nowadays.

i welcome some phones that break the modernity - ROG2 or upcoming Xperia 1.1 will still have lovely bezels, jack, SD card, IP certification. Finally, i care a lot about notification light, something hard to live without (can't even know charging really works -- especially with position sensitive Qi charging).

Peak flagship was S7 for me:

SD card CHECK

jack CHECK

led light CHECK

waterproof CHECK

normal fp sensor combined with home button CHECK

normal screen, edged or not, without punchholes CHECK

bezels to avoid holding widescreen like tweezers CHECK

wireless charging CHECK

great camera CHECK

light while at 3600mahs CHECK

From then, it's just compromise and disappointment. Swapping flagships like hot potatoes, and manufacturers win, not me.

Why are people talking about the micro SD card slot like it's a thing of the past? I have a 512MB card in my Note 10+. I have Rokus and Firesticks in my house. I can't remember the last time I needed an IR Blaster. The battery life continues to get better with every Note since the recalled Note 7. I don't have a battery extender because I don't have the need to recharge throughout the day. Battery life is great. I have no complaints about my Note 10+. I do think that every couple of years Samsung should release a Note Classic with all the bells and whistles. But, if they haven't done it yet. I'm guessing there isn't enough demand for old features that most people don't care about anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sir.Lieblichst:
Damn it, I give all the ****s. My Note Edge "broke" about 8 months ago. The (second newly bought) battery discharges even when the phone is completely turned off unless I take it out and leave it completely out, phone gets hot, laggy and so on and so forth. Safe to say, it's dying a slow and agonizing death. I was searching 8 months for a phone with a removable battery and halfway decent hardware/manufacturer. Well, I gave up and bought a used note 10 yesterday. That's how much I care about a replaceable battery/function/usability not being forced to buy a new phone every other damn day.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Protonus:
Yup, the XCover Pro is the phone to get. Addresses pretty much every concern here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Neo3D:
Replacing fuel in a gas tank is NOT the same as recharging the battery in a phone. ????

If it was, then the capacity of your gas tank would shrink every time you filled it up or ran it to empty and then after a few years, it would be at 1/2 the size it when it was new, then it would be at 1/4 size, then you would have to get gas every 2-3 miles that you drive. THEN, you would have to disassemble your entire car and replace it with a brand new gas tank.

Power banks are:

- huge

- heavy

- take longer to charge the battery to 100% than swapping a removable battery that's already at 100%

- have an inefficiency at 30%-50%, which means that 10,000mah battery is going to pump only 5,000 to 7,000mah into your phone

- tethered to your phone like a ball and chain while it charges, with a removable, you swap and you're done. Physically, it's way more efficient in every way.

- it's faster to charge 2 x 5,000 removable batteries than 1 x 10,000mah battery bank, in fact, it's 2x as fast

Especially since phones are so powerful nowadays, a sealed battery system is only good for one thing:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] maxilick:
Been through this thread and I agree with your points including almost everyone elses , at the end of the day no user is the same. We all want something different and have differnt preferences on what a phone should do or include. I've never had a phone or a rom that was perfect., come close to a few times though. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LGMONO:
Very good observation I have to agree the others are just to young or never owned q note 4 samsung has gone down hill they removed all the best features that made their product the best

1 FM radio

2 IR blaster

3 heartbeat sensor

4 headphone jack

5 removable battery

6 microSD card

I had to come back as i forgot more

7. Notification LED

8. MicroSD

How much more will we have to lose, now with ConVid19 the phones will be packed with Temp Reader and the S Pen will be a separate add on costing what 50 to 80 bucks, i am ready to move on to other devices

I loved all those features now what we get with a extremely expensive device nothing but a s pen and camera no other features nothing to play on anymore I used my tab 4 and note 4 for my TV remote I have now a note 10 plus I like using it but I use it for a min most times unless I'm reading articles other then that the phone is for answering calls messaging and a paper weight while chaging

I am with you on this one we re paying 800 dollars more for less
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
IR blaster be nice but the 3.5 mm jack coupled with an inferior bt chipset was chintzy as hell of Samsung. No AptX-HD hardware support, can never be upgraded.

Ya'll missed that completely and it is a big deal.

Stupid easily removable battery; no big deal and the thinness is needed. Practice battery charging/discharging conservation and 3 year battery life is doable even with heavy usage. Maybe at worse 2 years. With over 15 months on mine with heavy daily usage there's no signs of battery degradation.

Curved screen is ok as it houses the screen switches for one of my favorite apps, One Handed Operation + providing a physical marker.

The curved screen also increases the structural integrity of the whole phone; it has no detectable flex to it.

The Notes 3, 4 were cheesey looking by comparison. Some Notes had no SD card slot.

My 10+ as it's now configured boasts to close to 1 tb of storage, and allows the SD card to be used as a data drive. 12 gb of fast ram and supports fast data read/write speeds. On Pie it runs very fast and rock solid stable with a drop dead gorgeous display. I'm holding a fast miniature PC in my hand, outstanding.

A Bolt case, a Gorilla IQ Sheild, a V30 .5 tb SD card, pair of Buds+ and it's good to go.

The front cam hole and 3.5 mm jack omission are the only design features I truly loath... selfies are kids.

I 'mainly' agree but cheaper non-water proof phones like J7 2017 or similarly priced ones should have a removable battery.

Samsung Finally Reveals Why the Note 7 Kept Exploding

The smartphone maker at last explains the Galaxy Note 7's combustion problems.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
because they want the phone be thin so they made thinner batteries and have thinner lithium cobalt oxide layers and is in term defective because short circuit. if the phone is thick no need to have Such thin layers of lithium cobalt oxide so no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
Thinness and LiCoO2 had nothing to do with it. Bad welds and insufficient/wrong insulating material choices did.

Here you go... a detailed root cause analysis.

Looking Deeper into the Galaxy (Note 7)

Li-ion cell designs, component integrity, and manufacturing processes all have critical influence on the safety of Li-ion batteries. Any internal defective features that induce a short circuit, can trigger a thermal runaway: a cascade of reactions, leading to a device fire. As consumer device...

i missed two the notification LED and now the MircoSD ol yeah all the googies and yet were paying a HUGE price all for what? a screen and camera's i really love the note series i have the note 10+ but i seriously feel ripped off, i have a note 4 also and i cant even activate it its to old for the newer mmwave networks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
The AOD and edge lighting effectively replace the LEDs. When the edge lighting goes off it's hard to miss. Lol, it startled me good the other night...maybe I need to dial back the brightness.

The 10+ offer up to 1 tb of fast interfacing SD card support. I have a V30 .5 tb and it works seamlessly in the 10+ supporting all my media and data files. A handheld dual drive laptop.

I've tried Illusion, Agni, PureCaf, IceCold, basically all the major kernels with HavocOS and so far the best one I've found is KangarooX. I don't game at all on my phone but I prefer a smooth experience in daily use and KangarooX delivers that. It's the most well balanced kernel I've ever come across. No twiddling or tweaking, it just works fluidly day in, day out. No sudden lags or freezes, apps open almost instantly, animations are fluid and battery backup is pretty amazing. Better than IceCold whilst offering far more stable experience.

Hi, I have a Huawei P8 lite ALE-L23. Currently, it's unrooted and it has the bootloader locked, but I finally managed to make adb detect the device and I can access it with that. Seeing as the old method to unlock the bootloader is dead, I was thinking what's the process I need to take to install Android 9, as I've seen custom roms that run that, and I'm more than willing to try to do it with proper gidance. I'd like to know full details, what steps I must take in order to achieve it and where I can get the files I need. Also, a backup plan to retore the phone in case of bricking and things like that. I've seen the megathread, but it's old and outdated now. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Nanolo:
Mi A2 Lite it's not reconised by Windows anymore due to "damaged device": bricked!

Good evening everybody,

I had the Pie version with July updates, boatloader unlocked, rooted with magisk and with TWRP recovery. Everithing was fine 'till today tried to install the August updates by doing these steps:

- Unistall magisk (no reboot);

- Download and install OTA (failed);

- So i tried to reboot the system, everithing was fine;

- Again download and install OTA -> failed;

- Since at this point Magisk was fully unistalled, i tried to extract and modify the boot.img, in order to flash it back through ADB and fastboot mode;

Magisk said everithing went fine with the boot image patching, so i connected the phone to the pc via usb, as always, and here comes the surprise: windows says "The device is damaged, so i can't comunicate with it"; at this point i tried several times to disable/enable the USB debug, and it looked like everithing was working again properly.

Thus i proceeded to the fastboot mode and opened ADB, but as soon as i plugged in the device, there came the windows error again, and the device reboots automatically. At this point i decided to proceed trhough TWRP, thus applied updates from SD card, and directly flashed the boot_image_patched.img, rebooted the device and it was stuck in boot process, wihout going anywhere. Here i realised i tried to flash an hold patched image, concerning with the 10.0.9.0 ROM version, while i had the 10.0.12.0 one on-board. So i tried to fix the issue, but it turned out i really messed up by flashing the wrong patched image and the TWRP disappeared, while there's now the stock recovery.

Current situation:

- Device doesn't boot, stays stuck to the boot phase but doesn't go over;

- As soon as i plug it in, there comes the windows error message, and the device enters bootloop, both in fastboot and in normal mode (so i can't flash anything by ADB or either charge it);

- I can access the stock recovery;

I made a few more tries, such us flashing the stock ROM version through recovery, both 10.0.12.0 and 10.0.9.0 versions (this last looks to be the current version somehow), but both failed with message: "E:Error in /sideload/package.zip (Status 1); Installation aborted".

Next step will probably be the EDL mode by opening the shell, if no-one else has a simpler solution for me. Is there something else i could try before going that heavy on my Daisy?! Thanks a lot in advance and have a good night.

Nanolo
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
Are you sure that TWRP can flash a stock rom the way that you tried? Usually TWRP needs some patch to work with OTA. And regarding stock recovery it will refuse to flash anything while some part of Android was changed/modified and I don´t think that it accepts a downgrade.

The best now probably will be return completely to stock and once you recover device start again with rooting, etc.

EDL is not a serious thing, if you have already unlocked device you can go directly to it without a need to open the back cover.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] MarkR7:
SubwayChamp is right, do EDL

My Daisy never wanted to flash via fastboot, always had to use EDL to flash full fastboot images, nothing to it. Did it multiple times while messing with various custom ROMs, just don't interrupt the process in any way. If you get disconnected error, just try again. Xiaomi flash just works. Don't lock the bootloader by mistake with clean flash and lock.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Nanolo:
Nope, I'm not sure. But that's the current state of the device.

I'am trying to go back completely to stock, but without success, since as soon as i plug it in, even in fastboot mode, there begins bootloop. Yes, the device is unlocked, but is there a way to go EDL without opening the device and without using fastboot mode? That's the point..

Ok, i would..But isn't necessary the device being in fastboot mode in order to EDL through xiaomi flash? As i just said, the problem is that bootloop occurs as soon as i plug the cable in..

Of course, thanks to you both for the replies!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] MarkR7:
There supposedly is a Download Mode Or EDL mode in stock recovery in Xiaomi phones, can't remember if it was there and now I have TWRP so can't check. That could do it. Then connect cable immediately.

In another xiaomi phone they say push volume up + down, hold them, and then immediately plug in to PC, best have one end of cable plugged in already. If not that key combination, there might be another one on Daisy.

Since I don't know how fast the bootloop occurs, you might be able to do the following:

1 ) have commandline with fastboot ready, and "fastboot oem edl" entered in the open cmd window

2 have Daisy with cable connected to PC

3) enter fastboot by holding the buttons on Daisy

4) as soon as fastboot appears on Daisy, stab ENTER and see if it drops into EDL mode (screen totally dark, sometimes LED flashing, sometimes not), if it works push REFRESH button on Xiaomi Flash tool and should show COM10 port on progress bar.

5) if not, have "fastboot oem edl" already entered and waiting for device and then connect Daisy in fastboot

Does it not stop at fastboot at all?

I think my solutions might be useless. Damn.

Had the same Error Status 1 trying to do zip OTA package, never worked.

If you can't drop to EDL by stock recovery or combinations of hardware buttons, or Windows still doesn't recognize Daisy, my next move would be to try fastboot and EDL on Linux.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Nanolo:
Nothing to do..I managed to go to EDF and, as i though, daisy doesn't enter bootloop anymore..Thus, after a huge amount of try, i managed to let the device being read by windows and miflash tool. It started to flash till it stopped because of a "write timeout", but the device was still connected. After that, several attemps, with several ROM and Mi Flash tool versions, but still this kind of error: "cannot receive hello packet->Object reference not set to an instance of an object". Moreover, every time EDF session ends, have the same device identification issue..

I even tried several times to enter commands by ADB during those few seconds in which it stays in fastboot mode, but nothing.. Pc doesn't see Daisy...Dunno what else try..Any other idea?
