There are some very interesting viewpoints here.

I purchased mine after following the news stories for months. I purchased it the moment it was available in the UK and paid nearly £900.

I knew the limitations, but had to buy one of these! It gets used a lot in our house. And I am always doing things to it. It's leberated and its dual boot with XP.

I use it to tinker with, watch movies and surfing. The wife loves it too and surfs on the sofa while watching the tele, she prefers it to any of the laptop we have because of the size. My daughter took it away for the weekend recently too so she could surf. Its such a versitile device. And most of all, PEOPLE STARE AT IT ON THE TRAIN/PLANE WHEN I'M ON BUSINESS!!! :) I don't really use the liberated Snapvue, I don't need to when its dual boot.

If I had a wish list, I would love to see an SSD in it and another 1GB RAM. The processor is fine for what I use it for, so I have no grumbles there.

My eldest daughter wants it for school, so it'll be used for that full time in September when she is a year 10.

I do understand that to some people its limited in its application, but for us as a family, its one of the better toys we've purchased (and we buy a lot of techy toys/gadgets!) The joys of working in IT means I am addicted to buying new toys! ;)

I'm actually sat here in the garden using HSDPA typing this. Apart from a couple of phones, I don't have another device with this ability. why be inside when its such a sunny evening! :)
[Shift General] brucewilsonpa:
What do you mean by "dual boot"? I have mine liberated but I'm not sure it dual boots?

Thanks!
[Shift General] Pantaloonie:
Same here, I have dual boot, as in when powered up it asks whether you want to boot Vista or XP. Next stop, triple boot with Linux installed too, although that will be cutting it a bit fine for hard drive space.
[Shift General] FOOFTR:
Bruce, I think your comments, and the general community's will help deliver better products...I think they're constructive for sure.

I don't like it when people say product X sucks when indeed product X is not designed to do the very things they are comparing it against. I have read so many appalling reviews of the Shift - I'm ceratin 50% of the people won't have even used one...a classic is when someone said "the poky keyboard makes you wish for full size keyboard real estate..." - um, one cannot have a 7" screen device with an 18" keyboard...get real and take the device in the context it is meant for - maybe that's it, they cannot get their head around indeed what context this device resides/exists in. Maybe because they do not have a need for such a device it must be a failure? I mean, I don't need a concrete mixer so reviewing one would be pointless, and I'd end up saying things like "it doesn't sound as nice as my NAD stereo" - maybe they're the same.

Ah Pantaloonie, was loading XP as easy as booting from an XP disc/ISO (tablet I assume)? Thanks...
[Shift General] Pantaloonie:
Yup, almost that easy. Use Vista to partition off a few Gigs for XP, install XP, then use a Vista disc to repair the mbr so you can get back into Vista.

Then use VistaBootPro to create a boot menu.

I didn't use tablet edition at the time, and can't be bothered to go back and do it again; maybe next time I'm really bored I will.
[Shift General] Settembrini:
Hi FOOFTR,

yes, I like your comparison. Made me laugh. And I think what you say is right in all sorts of contexts. You make up something that wasn't said or done in the first place and then you go on bashing it.

Thanks!

S.
[Shift General] benktlottie:
Thats what I did.

I Used BartPE to make a bootable usb stick with xp pro on it. stole 6gb from Vista and installed xp pro. Viola, dual boot Shift!

Hello,

i have a problem with my samsung 3g network. By defaul samsung has LTE/3g/2g, 3g only, 3g/2g and 2g only automatic switching profiles. Is it possible to add a new LTE/2g profile without 3g switching?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Youdoofus:

[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] niyonsv:
How likely is it to get custom ROM support for OnePlus 7T? Since the 7 is still far behind in number of custom ROMs. Many popular ROMs doesn't support the 7. What do you all think?
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Superguy:
My guess is that some ROMs, Magisk ones in particular, will continue to work on the 7T. xXx's ROM works all the way back to the 5/5T. I imagine it'll end up working on the 7T.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] SlyUK:
Is custom rom support likely to be far higher on OP 7T Pro than OP 7T ?
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] DevilRockr:
Op7t will be released worldwide just like op7 pro. Whereas op7t pro will not be released in US (except mclaren). So if you want custom rom support either get op7t or op7pro(non t).
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] SlyUK:
Yes if I buy OnePlus I will buy the 7T as opposed to 7T Pro. Thanks for clarifying.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] SlyUK:
If I buy OP 7T, I will use OxygenOS for the first 2 years and then switch to Custom Rom for the final 3rd year of usage.

Anyone else planning to buying and using for 3 years minimum ?
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Gordietm:
I usually keep my phone for two years. I'm on the Pixel 2 XL now and I'm planning on getting the oneplus 7t this week. The pixel 4xl looks like it's going to be about $1,400 CDN dollars and that's too much. When I get the 7t, I will unlock the bootloader, so if I want to root it afterwards, I can.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] SlyUK:
Will you use OxygenOS or will you swap to Custom Roms as soon as one that suits you becomes available ?
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Gordietm:
I've never tried OxygenOS, but everything I've read sounds good, so I'll definitely stay on it for awhile. I've tried most of the custom ROMs on my pixel, but now on Android 10, I'm on stock and I like it.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] SlyUK:
Out of interest why won't you wait for Pixel 4 XL ?
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Gordietm:
I heard it's going to cost about $1,400 CDN dollars. That's crazy and the oneplus 7t is almost as good except without the soli gestures. Plus I've never owned a OnePlus and thought I should try them out
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] vwgti18:
I would not recommend switching to the OP 7 or 7T from pixel if you are on pixel for the camera. The disappointment is real LOL although EVERYTHING else about the OP7 is better then the pixel (I had P2XL and P3XL) the camera is really really bad. Just a heads up!
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] niyonsv:
What about using a GCam? Still not comparable with Pixel?
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Gordietm:
The camera is not a big deal for me.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] vwgti18:
Unfortunately comparable no...better then stock yes.

---------- Post added at 08:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 AM ----------

Cool then get the OP7 (T) its one of the best overall phones I have had!
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Gordietm:
I found someone today here in Toronto who is selling his oneplus 7 pro, brand new, sealed in the box for $550 CDN. I'm going to pick it up this afternoon. This is too good to be true. I'm not going to pass up the 7 pro and this price to get the 7t later this week.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] niyonsv:
Guys, all the details are now revealed of OnePlus 7T (check XDA site for all details). What do you guys think now of custom ROM support for 7T? Will it end up with low development like OnePlus 7?
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] SlyUK:
Hope you enjoy it :)
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Superguy:
You could run Magisk ROMs like xXx on the all variants down to the 5. That will likely continue as the 7T are just upgraded versions of the 7 and 6T. You may just have to look in the other forums. If you're looking for a full ROM, that may be a different story.

I'm jumping and putting my 7 Pro up for sale next month. Hate the curved screen. Every time I use it and it does something weird, I keep thinking back to the old Apple idiocy of "you're holding it wrong." :rolleyes:
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] JoeyRavn:
Hi!

A couple weeks ago, I received an OTA update for my Moto G6+. Like most OTAs before, the phone downloaded it automatically but failed to install it. I was constantly getting a "Update unsucessful" error message every hour or so. Before, doing a factory reset would allow me to install the OTA , so I went through with it every two or three months, whenever there was an update available.

This time, however, I decided to root my phone. Why not. And I did! Magisk installed, Smali-patched to make fake GPS apps work fine, etc. I also unchecked the "Download updates" option in the Developer Options so I wouldn't get any updates (I can't install them, since the bootloader is unlocked now).

... but I still got one. And I'm still getting the same error every time the phone tries to install the update. So, my question is: is there any way to delete that update? I remember reading about a button combination during reboot that sent you to a menu with factory reset settings and all that, and going there would delete the OTA file from your device. I know I did it once. But I just can't find how to do it anymore!

Also, is there any way to prevent updates from being downloaded? I though that setting in the Developer Options would do the trick, but it clearly didn't.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] WoKoschekk:
To enter fastboot mode just press and hold volume down button while your phone is rebooting. When it's turned off just press and hold volume down + power

The latest OTA updates do not download a .zip file and save it somewhere on your device. It's stored in a cloud.

To prevent your device from starting the update you have to freeze the "Motorola-Updateservices" app.

Therefor open a terminal app and type:

pm disable com.motorola.ccc.ota
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] JoeyRavn:
Thanks. Let's see if that does the trick!
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] RaiderX303:
Is anyone experiencing image retention issues with their Xperia 1? I've noticed that using Always on display I can see an imprint of the clock on the screen for a few seconds after unlocking the phone.
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] xzpremium1976:
it's weird why is it changing place, how long is the mobile?

[youtube]WJaRHJX4xYA[/youtube]
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] Hildr:
The burning you can find on OLED panel is due to the difference in life span of the subpixel. Blue ones wear 2 to 3 times faster than red and green ones. That's why when you always have a black bar on the bottom due to nav button, or in the top due to the info bar, one year later when you turn all the screen white, you will see that the top and bottom bars are whiter and the middle yellowish (more red and green power than blue).

It's permanent, and can't be cleaned by a color strobe. The only workaround, if the wear is homogeneous, is to change the color tint to correct all the screen.

Also to prevent this, best is to avoid blue wallpaper since it will accentuate the wear of the blue oled subpixel.

Now about the always ON display, it's moving regularly to avoid the wear of the blue oled (white display is equally using blue, green and red) only in one specific area, it shouldn't burn the screen (not like a Coyote app on the S7 edge of a friend).

But here it's another thing, like a long response time of the pixel, since it's not permanent and just disappear in few seconds, so it's not a screen damage. I do not have it, but I don't use the Sony launcher, maybe is it just an animation?

When I power on my phone, the always one disappears for half a second displaying black screen then the wallpaper appears.

Hi,

When attempting to play video, either locally or from the internet, it frequently buffers. I don't notice it on YouTube , but Twitter, Facebook and most galling of all - local storage - all suffer in the same way.

Is this a common complaint and more importantly, is there a fix? Phone is UK and fully up-to-date as at 18/9/2019.

Thanks.

I've noticed the same problem.

I'm on 9.1.0.237(C432E1R2P1). But the 'hick-up' is on as long as I can remember.

It's video's on twitter and in chrome webbrowser. Streaming media doesn't seem to have the trouble.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jtantley:
I'm trying to flash Dutty's hybrid 6.1 ROM via microSD card and I'm having some trouble. While it's flashing the bar at the bottom loads all of the way and then seems to stop right before finishing. I'm tried it three times and each time the same thing happens... "Update in progress..." and the bar isn't moving anymore.

Any idea what's up? I've left it like this for several minutes and nothing happens. Also, if I can't get it to work, how do I get it out of the bootloader screen and back the regular OS?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jtantley:

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] lentia:
Here what i did: found a newest version of "allways on display" from apkmirror and installed on my oreo g9600 phone. It boots, but only black screen and apps edge. But nothing starts from edge. Only power button work, it brings 3 option that dont work. Hard restart works, can boot to stock recovery.

The big question is it possible some how restore system without factory reset (or flashing rom)?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
boot into safe mode and see if you can go uninstall the app

Press and hold the Power button again to turn on your cell phone. Immediately press and hold both the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons on your device. Keep holding while the device boots. Once your Android device has booted, you will see the words “Safe mode” displayed at the bottom-left corner of your screen
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] FreeStyle97:
Hello, I bought an unopened Xiaomi Mi 9T and when it came home everything went well and nice went well but after 2 weeks already making figures, Google Play and YouTube and Chrome sometimes when I want to access them does not work, I gave factory reset on the phone, I reset the router, I deleted the cached data and others restart on the phone but it still does not work ... I mean when I want to use these applications on Wi-Fi I sometimes make figures but on the mobile data it works properly.

So the second problem is that the status bar pulls itself up from the top down or starts to disappear sometimes but it returns (I guess I have gohst tocuh on the phone), I thought it was from the film I changed 2 so far but not so, I gave the reset 3 days ago and today I saw that it did the same ... I can't figure out what is going on, maybe something can be done under the guarantee? Do I think the display has minor defects and is too sensitive at the top?

I have 2 clips on youtube to see what I say, but doesn't work to put links here
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] BsByBy:
I've been thinking about this a lot and what if the manufacters has implemented an critical update mode wich actually allows you to update the bootloader of the phone?? image that a team of hackers discover a new exploit wich allows to criminals to install modded version of your firmware and to bypass your lock patern with locked bootloader. So i think the manufacters should has this feature already for this kind of emergency. This will be very cool for modding image installing custom modded bootloader wich actually allows you to put a custom unlock code for bootloader or even more to actually lock your bootloader with a custom code,

wich boots every rom you have installed without any checks, update your phone with custom updates wich contains Magisk pre-installed.. It's possible for you? let me know in the comments

Is there a BitGapps package for the LG G3? Seems to me like there's only one on your page, and I flashed it, it gave me an Error 255 saying that the gapps package was for an ARM64 architecture and close the program. I'm going to try the non-SetupWizard package and see what it does. Wish you had a 32 and 64 bit download option even though on your answer for if it is device specific, you said no. I'm hoping that with the dirty flash package it will flash with no problems. I'm probably just over thinking things, so I apologise in advance.

Unable to flash properly, several errors...

Both BiTGApps-arm-10.0.0-v0.5_signed.zip and BiTGApps-arm-10.0.0-v0.5-SW_signed.zip are glitched when I've flashed it... Tried first the SW one and them after several erros, tried the normal one. Both have errors.

Its shows on TWRP:

Checking Android SDK version

Unsupported Android SDK version. Aborting...

Updater process ended with ERROR: 1

Error installing zip file '/external_sd/ROM/BiTGApps-arm-10.0.0-v0.5-SW_signed.zip'

or

Failed to mount '/system' (Device or resource busy).

I noticed it also created Alarms, DCIM, Download, Movies, Music, Notifications, Pictures, Podcasts AND Ringtones folders in my SDCARD.

Flashing order: ROM > BiTGApps > Magisk.

If I ignore the error and continue anyway, it gets on a boot looping and go back to TWRP.

Oldest: 3.2.1-0

Same errors on both. The rom itself has shown no errors, only when flashing BiTGApps package.
[Android Software Development] InfernoWolf19:
What is your device? Is it an arm device or arm64 device? Both setups worked fine in my Samsung Galaxy A5 2015. Also the reason you are boot looping back to twrp is because you flashed a .img file and if you flash the .tar or .md5, it will stop boot looping back into twrp.
[Android Software Development] alex_worsen:
Galaxy S5 (klte), model SM-G900M, it's ARM. The rom flashed right, but the BiTGApps itself not.

The ROM and BiTGApps are zip files. The error happens close to the end of the installation of BiTGApps.

Even Opengapps has not released a proper gapps version for Android 10, there's just the unstable one in beta releases. Why should I expect no issues?
[Android Software Development] InfernoWolf19:
For now just use the beta version of arm android 10 gapps from this link. I flashed it and its just pixel launcher that is buggy. Just Scroll down until you find arm32 gapps.

UPDATE

: I fixed the problem. For anyone else having the same problem check if your system partition is mounted as read-only in TWRP settings (If you are not using TWRP....Then use it :good: ). Because apparently when I installed TWRP I checked an option which mounted my system partition as read-only just, disabling that fixed the problem :D and now everything including Google Assisstant works perfectly fine.
