[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] bluegizmo83:
The only AMOLED device I've had that experienced burn in was a Samsung Galaxy Note 5, which I used for many years and was my daily phone up until I received this ROG Phone 2 a week ago. Even then, I didn't notice the burn in on it until about a year ago, and only found it by deliberately looking for it by using an app to show full screen solid colors. Even to this day I don't notice the burn in on that Note 5 during normal use. The entire time I used the Note 5 I had the brightness set to max with adaptive brightness on.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
Especially with gestures replacing the static nav bar. Those would burn in over time. But the status bar stays pretty active, so there shouldn't be much chance their either
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Mr_Mooncatt:
My wife prefers the Notes and every one of hers got burn in. Her last one was the S7 (due to the N7 fiasco), and I noticed burn in within a year. She rarely has the brightness cranked, which is part of why I'm still on the fence.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] barry99705:
Now that I have android auto radios in all my cars I don't expect to get much burn in from now on, but my note 8 always has Waze ghosted on the screen.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Rashad83:
As others have mentioned before the benefits of Amoled screens far out take the LCD ones in many areas. For example one thing I hated about LCD screens because of the technology was the uneven side/bottom light spots which can be easily seen in a dark room and were very annoying to see.

Regarding Burn in, there is an easy way to avoid it in the long run by using gestures for system navigation and in regards of the status bar you can use any 3rd party app which can hide the status bar. Personally I use "Immersive manager" app to hide the status bar on ASUS launcher and in some apps which I don't like to see it in, and so because of the switch between the home screen and apps, the status bar isn't static and for that reason i doubt burn in will be an issue.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] RogPhoney:
I would caution about the "Always-On Display" option of the Asus Rog Phone 2. If you go to bed and leave the phone face-up (proximity sensor not covered) then it will leave the static clock graphics up all night. I could imagine that being burned in over time.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Mr_Mooncatt:
I was watching a review video on it yesterday and it showed what looked like the AOD clock shifting (it was a short cutaway shot, so could be mistaken). I will keep an eye on it, though, to see if it does move.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] SchnauzerZoom:
Just like you, I avoid AMOLED screens. I had an S3, burn ins from web browser... I watch YouTube a lot. I am not sure the AMOLED screen is for me. It became difficult to choose a phone.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] aravind.v:
Just enable Dark Mode within YouTube and assuming you watch in full screen mode, you should not have any problems. I personally run YT for about 3-4 hours everyday: the phone sits below my monitor at work and I have earphones on. Glance at the screen from time to time, since what I usually do doesn't require full concentration at most times. Never faced burn in from YouTube.

I did face some issues on Quora though, but that was with a Moto G4+ and seemed to be temporary. The logo bar on top stayed for a while, ghosting as I used other apps but went away in a few minutes after I left the page.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] zayidhs:
Amoled screens burn-in is much less likely to happen now due to advancement in screen technology and also software implementation to counter it.

There used to be a time when averagely 30-40% of screens had a form of burn-in or another.

Unless you're unfortunate to get a defective screen, I doubt if burn-in will be an issue for you.

I have a 2-year old Huawei Mate 10 Pro which I've used so much and mostly outside (full screen brightness), but there isn't a sign of burn-in on it.

Though it would be important to know the screen manufacturer for the ROG II as not only you can have an idea of the quality but also aesthetics.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Kianush:
I already have some lines and screen uneveness in lower brightness and mostly gray color, i wouldnt call them burn-ins but the device screen is diffinitely defective as it's only 4 weeks old and the screen was uneven from the beginning

Btw the quality and sharpness of colors is nowhere close to my father's galaxy a40 so either my device is a complete defect or the screen is just not that high-end stuff

And lets not forget the rediculous issue of getting red tine when lowering the brightness it sometimes drives me crazy, still the 120hz refresh rate is so great i cant think about any other phone!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] BenG7:
Hi everyone

Sorry I am confused; there does not seem to be an ultimate universal root / twrp installation guide for the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite phone (my son's phone) in 2019.

No offense intended but all these various posts on the topic just help to confuse people!

I managed to unlock the bootloader but can anybody please tell me what is the easiest / user-friendliest way to install twrp (which version?) and root the phone so that I may proceed with flashing LineageOS afterwards to get rid of all the bloatware.?

what about these partitions A & B?

Thanks a lot in advance

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] BenG7:
[MENTION=8171964]barumbads[/MENTION]: Thank YOU!

[EDIT] er... this is for flashing a custom rom!

I did some extra research out of XDA

[Guide] How to root Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite

and

How To Root Mi A2 / A2 Lite (Magisk) and Install TWRP Recovery

but again... confusing! which one should I go for?

(I already tried the later one and created another post following an issue with it!)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] a1291762:
It depends on what you want to do.

Root doesnt need TWRP, just Magisk. There's a guide on here.

Flashing custom ROMs needs TWRP. Each custom ROM has specific instructions.

There's no one-size-fits-all solution for this phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] BenG7:
Hi [MENTION=4964062]a1291762[/MENTION] & thanks.

This is what I am saying it is confusing; I have been thru a few phones (samsungs, LGs, lately Xiaomi...)

and the process was first install twrp then root and then you could flash roms

I know when you flash LineageOS, you get root included in dev options so from your explanations I will look how to flash LineageOS but currently I'm struggling installing twrp as you have seen in my other post
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] a1291762:
My last phone didn't have A/B or encryption or use Magisk for rooting... So for me everything about this phone was new and different.

I started with stock (android one means I didn't immediately want a custom ROM). Then added Magisk. I added TWRP after edxposed caused me bootloops (magisk manager CLI can run from TWRP). I haven't installed a custom ROM yet but I've got a custom splash and bootanim.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] aashiq10:
Guys i have a redmi k20 pro Indian model which i got during alpha sale in India and now i have unlocked bootloader and flashed hovoc os running on it but my question is, when I checked for NFC in app i get this message saying NFC is present but not activated on my device.

I searched on forms and people say that some units might have been shipped from China to meet the demands so if my unit is also from China maybe i have NFC and i want to know how to activate that.

So my question is how to activate this NFC if it's present?

Image attached below for reference.

Any info on this will be much appreciated. Thanks
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Sukhi:
Indian units don't have the NFC coil. Just ignore that false positive.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] OldDroid:
try to flash one of the global roms available, if your device has the nfc hardware, it'll get unlocked on global.

Regards
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
It has never been shown for definite that Chinese models were sold in India. In the first few days after launching, a small number of people claimed they had working NFC after flashing the Chinese ROM, which led to the speculation that maybe some Chinese units were moved to India to cover demand. However it has never been verified that anyone did actually have working NFC on the earliest Indian models.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] aashiq10:
I did flash China miui 10.3.6 or 10.3.16 which i don't remember correctly but it showed the NFC but when i activate it doesn't activate and deactivates and closes the settings also same happened with EU miui so i guess it didn't work out. I flashed both rom via miflashtool
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] aashiq10:
Yes i agree with you on that
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Sam Nakamura:
Hey guys, I got a redmi Note 7 as a spare device and I'm playing around with it, now I wanted to check the waiting period and it shows none (check picture), does that mean that I could instantly unlock the bootloader without any waiting?

I'm not sure if I really want to unlock but in case I feel I need to I wanted to skip / start that waiting period to get away... If you what I mean - I'm just asking to be clear about this waiting game....

Thanks for clarification, I never had a xiaomi device except my xiaomi Mi router :cyclops:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] matthias1976:
It seems u can unlock, but the check that u can unlock ir not is later in the process.

Try it, u have nothen to loose.

Personal data only will erase when unlock process works.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Sam Nakamura:
So that's not the infamous screen that would display the 'waiting time' if there's any?

I was I bit reluctant to press 'unlock' right away as I wasn't sure if there's another chance to cancel the process on xiaomi device in fastboot... and as I only came to check about the'waiting time' I wasn't keen on wiping the internal memory and factory reset!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] NightRaven49:
no. if this is your first time unlocking, clicking the unlock button on that screen will have a progress bar that leads to the infamous waiting time screen instead of unlocking right away. also if you do not click it, the timer will not start. do remember to back up your data before attempting it though, better to be safe than sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] robin302:
I bought the watch sm-r805u lte(us) recently.

1.Can i flash sm-r805u with roms for sm-r8050(china)？？

2.Are they the same hardware?？

Samsung Pay doesn't work in china.

Esim doesn't work in china.

Thanks ！
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] kleeman7:
You can disable those two features to not use it, I have my mobile network set to always off since I see no reason to have lte on the watch. And Samsung pay isn't support by my bank card so it is also disabled. I would advise against flashing non matching firmware to the watch since it could have unforeseen consequences.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] podlesnik:
I find the ''internet explorer key' quite useless for me. On the other hand I need to be able to send 'ok' command to my touch dual through the sliding keyboard so what about remapping the 'internet explorer key'? Does anyone know how to do that?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] vince_b:
coool idea. very convenient and practical. comparing a samsung sgh-i780 to the touch dual, the fact that the i780 had an OK button was one of the very few advantages that the samsung had over my htc. hope someone can reply to this with a solution......
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Th3 Ripper:
I would like to make the internet button a return key which enters moves the cursor to a new line when typing messages etc, I can't find an easy way of entering a line return when writing using the 16 key keypad.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] muzikfreakah:
have you tried AE-Buttons?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] animelover:
AE Button Plus works not as good as I hoped: it's starting another application when I remap it but the Internet Explorer is still started afterwards!

I think the solution could be found in the keyboard driver itself ...!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] blyx21:
yap i hope someone could make this, i don't use the internet explorer button changing/remapping it to ok/close button is a very good idea. as for now i change the camera button to ok/close but quite hard to push because in the side corner.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] zzzzzzzzzzzz:
Is there still no solution for this?

i never use the "internet" and "messaging" keys from my keyboard and it would be nice to change them to "OK" and an other program..
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] dinocol:
bump! i hope someone finds a solution for this..
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] rexriver:
I found following Registry:

HKLM/Software/Microsoft/internet explorer/KeyMaps

Does anybody know if this has anything to do with what we're looking for???
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] dinocol:
I think I was able to find a workaround for this:

1) make a copy of iexplore.exe in the windows folder to iexplore2.exe (can anyone upload a copy of original iexplore.exe, i can't seem to make a copy of it)

2) Download http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJOkButt

3) from program files of vjokbutt, find the exe and rename it to iexplore.exe

4) copy the vjokbutt that was renamed to iexplore.exe to \windows and overwrite the original iexplore

optional: open a registry editor and replace all iexplore.exe to iexplore2.exe, otherwise, internet explorer might not work..
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] animelover:
It would be better if anyone can transform the Messaging and Internet Explorer key into Hardware Softkeys ...! It would be much better because of increasing usability in some fullscreen programs!

I really miss these Hardware Softkeys in Esmertec Jbed! :(
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] AmaoBilibili:
Hi friends,

Because lineageOS stop supporting xiaomi devices this month, so I decided to build LOS 16 ROM for sagit (Xiaomi Mi 6) myself.

I have some experience of using linux, but that is my first time to build an Android rom.

I follow the official guide to build. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/sagit/build And I got the freshable zip rom "successfully".

However, after I install it via the lastest TWRP, it stuck on the boot MI logo and can not enter the system.

I ask one oneplus developer, he told me some xiaomi device need specific clang version, but he can not give me a solution. I come here and hope someone can give me some propose.

-----------------------------

update, I found los group ready the re-support xiaomi device. https://github.com/LineageOS/hudson/...f1e3492eacca83

But I still hope get some answer just for study.

And I cannot continue to install the other google apps after the play services.

Any idea?

You need Google contact sync for syncing contacts. You can't change Google services as they are already integrated.

Also, you won't have location services (history, sharing) in Chinese rom.
[Asus Zenfone Max M2 Guides, News, & Discussion] barindra75@gmail.com:
Many people has reported that, serial number changed to CTA4A0000000 after flashing in QPST, fastboot rom.

Here is the solution for you.

Caution::

This method is only to re-fix own device's serial no.

I am not responsible for illegal use/bricked device.

Use it on your own risk.

Do step wise,

U need a windows PC

1. Download the zip, unzip it.

2.there is a file named persist_MaxM2.img, you need to edit it.

3. to edit the persist image file you need hex editor, if u have it pre-installed go to next step or install it given hw_680.exe

4. Open hex editor, open that persist_MaxM2.img file in hex editor.

5. Click on edit tab in hex editor-->goto-->hex address 00E02020, your cursor will be taken to that address. see image

6. In the erxisting file serial no ""123456789ABCDEF0"" is given which is an arbitrary common number, replace this with your own serial no provided in your product package/shipping details.

7. save the file in hex editor, close hex editor.

8. Now its time to flash it in phone.

9. you need to have fastboot driver installed in your pc, google it, your device need to be detected as fastboot devices in PC during flash.

10. put the phone in fastboot mode, connect it to PC.

11. Run the Fl;ash_To_Rectify_Serial.cmd file (simply double click on it. it will take 6 sec to complete then window will wait for 10 more sec before it vanish).

11. your device will get rebooted, Need not to be worried, data will NOT be erased.

12. If you were using custom ROM, then you need to unlock the boot-loader before you start to android.

13. Connect device in fastboot again, Simply run unlock.cmd in the same folder, data will NOT be erased again.

14 wait for device to restart in android.

Voila...you got your new serial no.

[Alcatel 1 Questions & Answers] levone1:
Question for you (or anyone)- I am a long-time Sony Xperia user, but I got a hold of a TCL A501DL, (Alcatel A1 TracFone variant), and have no access to fastboot/bootloader. Boot to recovery works fine, but no option for bootloader. ADB recognition works fine, but 'adb reboot-bootloader' command just reboots to system. Volume+ power button combos, as well as holding any keys while connecting, doesn't do anything. I reached out to TCL on the phone and by email, one rep told me that maybe hard-reset might make it work, (it didn't); another rep told me that there is a way to do it, but they aren't authorized to tell me what it is, and another one told me that they don't support it, so they don't have documentation about it.

'OEM unlocking' is checked in settings, and ADB debugging.

Any ideas? Thanks
