[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
Frankly speaking, without the proper tools it's harder to remove the back-cover than to remove (un-glue) the battery - because you are replacing battery and you don't care about the old one while you don't want to damage the back cover.

Although, I was even able to un-glue batteries on P9 without damaging them (but on first attempt I broke the flex for loudspeaker and had to replace it, too)

Before doing it, study several YT guides and Web guides like iFixit:

https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Huawei+Mate+9+Battery+Replacement/101289

One guide can show you one small but useful trick, another guide another small trick, etc.

Some guides may even require to disassembly additional parts or cables that are not really necessary to come to the battery

Usually, with the battery kit you get all the needed tools (most important, proper miniature screwdriver) but the provided vacuum suction cups are too small and too weak (it means that you will need to try to pull the back-cover off by screwdriver or something, risking to damage it).

Advice, buy two strong suction cups (one to stick to the front/display, another to the back-cover, it will go like piece of cake) like:

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] palatkik:
I replaced the Mate9 battery OK today. It was very hard to remove as the glue couldn't be removed from battery back, so I slowly forced the battery by leverage apart from frame and the glue eventually gave way. The battery was disconnected from contacts for about 30 minutes as it took that long for me to prize apart the battery without damaging anything. I turned phone on after putting in new battery and everything was running as I left it, so no time wasted reinstalling or recovering any backups needed.

The old battery was swelling baldly and pushed the back case of phone off itself when I took the screws out at the bottom of device case.

[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] Zopicoder:
Hi all.

Tried searching. But nothing came up to help.

I’m on cdroid 4.5 works fine. Problem is twrp sticks on logo screen and I can’t work out what recovery to install to get it back working.

Secondly I want to try stock again. But is using the e recovery option on boot with a custom rom installed?

Hope you can help and love the forums. Learnt more in the last week than a lifeitime.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] Arnys:
No problems to use erecovery, if it finds package, you are good to go

For treble roms you need treble twrp, for emui roms you need emui twrp, in this forum are 3 twrp, 2 for emui, 1 for treble

If you want stock ,then best is to use erecovery, after need format data, chace and all be ok ( all files will be deleted ,save what needed)
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] Zopicoder:
Thanks for the reply.

With the stock e recovery it lets me clear cache etc. Don’t need to re install twrp the tool will let me do it.

Appreciate the help.
[Huawei P20 Lite Questions & Answers] Lacedaemonius:
What vendor are you on? if you are on oreo and you are going to oreo you can use HuRu, same for pie. DON'T upgrade with that tool. OT do you have usable bluetooth on treble?

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] No-New-Phone:
Since the phone is on Android 10, the smart lock feature doesn't work any more. I use my phone in my car and connect it to the Bluetooth radio there. In "settings - security - smart lock", this connection is set to unlock the phone. Fact is: it does not.

I've deleted the Bluetooth connection and paired it again. In the past, after pairing a new Bluetooth device, android kept asking me "You want to unlock the phone when it is connected to this device?", but the question doesn't come up any more.

Any one else out here with smart lock problems?

It is working fine on mine with my car and headphones. I am running the second Sept 10 update.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] avd:
I noticed my unit locks up also
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] No-New-Phone:
Thanks for your answers.

I've removed again the Bluetooth connections, then I reconnected the Bluetooth car kit. Smart lock asked me, if it should unlock the phone every time the device is connected, and I confirmed that. The device now is listed there in the trusted device section. It still doesn't work.

I guess I'll have to do a factory reset.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] erwinstyd:
Hello i have sony Xperia z ultra, after replacing a new housing, it won't turn on with power button( my power +,- button won't respond), it can charge and show charging view when i plug the cable, only vibrate 3times when i press the red button on sim card while chargin then back to charging view, I've tried any suggestions from internet.

Is there any jumper point from motherboard that represents power button? Thanks, or any solution :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] photona:
If you installed a custom recovery before (TWRP for example) you could do the following:

- Plug the power cable in and wait until the red LED turns off and the Sony logo appears.

- In this very moment begin to press the "Volume down" button several times until the LED turns to violet.

- Custom Recovery should start now. There go to "Reboot System" and your XZU should boot the Operating System as usual

Hi,

Looking for suggestions for the best call blocking app.

TIA
[LG V20 Themes, Apps, and Mods] baldybill:
I've been using Truecaller for a while, it's pretty good at identifying calls. If you pay the full price, it can automatically block them. The free one blocks some and identifies others as spam that you just swipe to hang up on.

[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] AssyrianHero:
how to flash it? and where to download it ?
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 5408779:
My advise: You should read and inform yourself before flashing some kernels or anything. Seems like you haven't a clue about what you are doing.

Please do not get this wrong.

To answer your question, what rom did you have before? Is TWRP available?

OTA.zips can be downloaded here: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-7/how-to/oneplus-7-repo-oxygen-os-builds-t3937152

You need to flash them in TWRP. That's the easiest way if you run into issues with kernel.

[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] AssyrianHero:
I fixed the whole thing with MSM download tool everything is back to normal but I lost everything in the phone my engagement video was on my phone and I lost it that's the only copy I have I don't know what to do If my fiance knows that I'm dead ? how can I recover it?
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] llvllaster:
Lost is lost. You can't recover it. Next time don't forget to back-up first before playing around with the phone.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 5408779:
MSMTool is the last solution for OnePlus devices. I always prefer to fix it without that. And yes it will format the whole phone. There is no chance to recover your data.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] AssyrianHero:
I couldn't do anything everything was deleted and my storage was 0MB I tried all kind of solutions with no luck my last choice was MSM tool . Anyways I fixed it but now I have to unlock the bootloader again and root it with magisk.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 5408779:
Format data and flash OTA would work too
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] AssyrianHero:
I did format it twice and nothing happened.
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 5408779:
Yes because you didn't flash OTA after format data

Hi i have problem with mi 9t pro anybody can help me ? When it is dark brightness is to dark for me i have to make control it by myself .

In auto it is good outside but when i'm in dark place the brigjtness it to low .
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Sukhi:
Train the adaptive brightness. Keep moving the slider to the desired brightness that you feel comfortable with in the dark environment. It'll learn your preferences gradually and you mightn't be required to alter it moving forward.

However, I am not sure which build your are running and it might be broken. I am running MIUI 10.3.5.0 and have no problems.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] estor:
Hi i have mi 9t pro and have 10.3.1 theres is nonupdate to 10.3.5

I cant find adaptive brightness wher in menu you can find it ?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Sukhi:
By Adaptive Brightness I mean adapting the brightness slider according to your usage. You won't find Adaptive Brightness menu under MIUI as it more or less embedded in the system. You can either wait for the next update or move to EEA ROM that just got updated recently. You'll need an unlocked bootloader though.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] estor:
I still have feeling its to dark at home a always have to make it by myself auto into dark .

There is still no answer why ?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] AcMtyMx:
Go to a darkness room,..... settings, display, ..... disable Auto Brightness........ then slide the bar or set the brightness at you preference......... now enable Auto Brightness.

Done!

Now that set is the lowest bright of your phone!
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] Vennesch:
Got my hands on my Oppo Reno 10x Zoom this week. I love the looks and the specs, but boy I hate the software. Laggy, childish looks and lots of bloatware.

As it is a flagship device I thought there would be many custom ROMs to choose from. Anyone know anything about plans with AOSP, Linage or others?

I saw that there is a stock android beta out there for the other Reno device. I really hope to ditch ColorOS soon. Thanks in advance
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] thyuro:
Bootloader is locked so no custom rooms available....
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] Vennesch:
That's a shame. With Sony phones it was always possible to flash ROMs with locked bootloader. Let's hope for some magic of a developer here ;)
[OPPO Reno 10x Zoom Questions & Answers] Vennesch:
So you have to wait 60 days after activation of your Oppo account in order to obtain for unlocking the bootloader.

Anyone had some success doing this?

Anyone with an usused account, and willing to share the credentials?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] vodovodo:
i dont know if its only my eyes or there are actual changes in the design and color of the global version, i have the tencent and i am pretty sure its different than what the reviewers have now after the global release. and its not just lighting condition, it feels like the metal part under the cooler thing is glass now with rainbow lines all over it !

DAMN I AM DIGGING IT

please take a look at the photos attached
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Vixiebalistic:
Actually nothing changed here... The ROG Phone 2 global is exactly look like they appeared in ROG 2 announcement in July. The different is they have a Chinese edition in colaboration with a giant game publisher, Tencent with affordable price for a lower storage option, fewer LTE bands, and different back panel material.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] standupdad:
Interesting. Mine is missing the iridescent piping over the heat vent area.

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] vodovodo:
THAT IS IT

selling my tencent version and ordering the ultimate as soon as it available
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] whyou:
Yes the venting is glass on Classic, metal on tencent 128G.

Said this on Asus China website
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] viper98:
It's weird that they made the cheap Tencent version look more premium
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Jake.S:
Tencent version only comes with following specs

RAM: 8GB

Storage: 128GB

Charger: 18w

Aero Cooler 2: No

Box: 4 corners

While Global version has got

RAM: 12GB

Storage: 512GB or 1TB

Charger: 30W

Aero Cooler 2: Yes

Box: Six corner

So there is quite a difference there.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] GAME ON:
tencent version also comes with 12GB-Ram 512GB which is currently im owning, its the same as global version (12gb-ram), different is only at the tencent logo and ROM
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Jake.S:
I doubt it's tencent. Since I cannot find Asus stating tencent comes with 512GB. Then yours probably is modified and not official tencent. Since even other sites are stating there's only one tencent which is only 128GB and 8GB RAM

Since there is tencent versions being sold as modified with WW ROM instead of CN. So then I'm also not surprised yours even got motherboard swap with one from global version so you think there is a tencent with 12GB RAM and 512GB, which is not true accordingly to Asus and results when googling. All the results states tencent only comes with 128GB storage and 8GB RAM.

Since I have not found any article saying that there is any tencent with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Mr_Mooncatt:
And of course the number of corners on the box is the most important difference! Lol
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Jake.S:
Lol, you have a point there. I only took that part up since some people maybe do not think difference about the box between global and tencent version.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Mr_Mooncatt:
If AT&T has taught us anything, it's that people pay attention to the boxes. I don't know why, but it's apparently a big deal. Lol
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] cheetah2k:
There is a tencent version of the global 12/512 - been around for a month already :rolleyes:
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] GAME ON:
owh. ok
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] septicoo1977:
Bottom line is that none of them support Volte or wificalling in Europe or USA.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Jake.S:
Then please give us proof, since like I have said before when googling it up only gives result of tencent with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage as result but no tencent version with 12GB and 512GB. So I still doubt that there is any tencent with that hardware.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] baddar:
Thats not correct. Mine supports VoLTE in Europe, huge difference in the voice quality plus you keep the 4g on so net is way faster. Its only in USA it doesn't seem to work (because they are special as we all know, Murika F** yeah hahaha).
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] SavageCat-TX:
I could not careless about the number of sides on the box. I'd prefer a phone I can make VoLTE calls on once 2g/3g are shut down.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] septicoo1977:
Where did you buy the phone from? As the one from gearbest,international version doesn't support and no way I am gonna pay 830£ for it in UK, not having volte or wifi.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] baddar:
I got it in Sweden from a normal store. No special import or anything. Regarding wificall we do not have it, it does have voip though in the call app under network & internet -> call -> calling accounts.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Kianush:
To make everything clear for everyone, here are the different devices in the market:

Chinese versions:

1. Tencent version with 8/128 and glossy back

2.the full chinese version with 12/512 and exactly same design

Global version:

Which has a matt back with glass vent part, 12/512 and maybe later 12/1tb

Btw, they mentioned from day 1 that the global version will come in matt instead of glossy, it's not that tencent did it for the price because even the full version in china has the same glossy design
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Jake.S:
To me the global version looks glossy, with 12/512GB, but I did read few on forum here said Matt one will be with 1TB. But idk if that's true.

I got the 12GB/512GB one here in Sweden and here they call it Elite Edition. Back glass is glossy to me, since I can reflect myself in the glass a bit and other things.

Please help me. I can't seem to understand what exactly I need to do in order to install a custom ROM on my K20 Pro (Global 10.3.5.0.) I have tried following this (https://xdaforums.com/k20...0-pro-t3953844) post thoroughly and others as well, but can't seem to exactly understand what I am required to do. Most custom ROM's state [Raphael], but as I purchased this device in India, it would most probably be [Raphaelin], after unlocking the Bootloader and installing TWRP, am I supposed to flash a Custom ROM (for ex. Lineage OS) directly or would I have to install a ROM which would make my device [Raphael]? Vendor and Firmware have gone over my head, I do not understand what I need to di. If someone could help me out, It would be mean a lot. Thank you.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Sukhi:
If you're running stock MIUI and haven't moved to any custom MIUI's till date then you can straight away flash LOS. Moreover, most of the custom roms work on multiple vendors irrespective of whether it is a China Vendor or India or Global. It doesn't matter till the time the developer specifically asks you to be on a particular vendor.

Vendor isn't a dreaded thing. It's just the drivers needed to run the various components in the device (BT, WiFi etc). Till the time you don't wipe the vendor partion in twrp, you would always be good to go. You could carry on flashing custom roms w/o careing about the vendor.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Platinum_Pyth0n:
Thank you very much for your reply. So, just to check if I have understood correctly. I can just install TWRP and then flash Lineage OS straight away, right? I checked (https://xdaforums.com/k20-pro/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-t3965311), and it mentioned:

Instructions :

Download the latest build and GApps

Reboot to recovery

Flash proper vendor and firmware

Flash the latest build and GApps

Reboot

What is "proper vendor and firmware"? And would I also be required to flash this?

Thank you.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
Go back to the Lineage instructions and read immediately below that. It starts P.S.

It explains exactly proper vendor and firmware means.

No you won't need to install anything for this step
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Sukhi:
Nope ! You don't need to flash vendor + firmware as you already running an untouched stock MIUI build. That is for people who are coming from either modified MIUI builds (EU, Miroom etc) or custom roms with a different vendor (India device running on China Vendor)

Custom roms don't carry the Vendor Firmware files and you can only modify the existing Vendor when you move to other region stock or custom MIUI roms.

Back up your data on Internal storage to a safe place either on a PC or OTG. Skip this step if you have nothing important.

Boot In TWRP

Wipe System, Data , Cache , Dalvik

(Don't reboot at this point, Not Even a Recovery reboot)

Flash LOS

Flash GApps
