[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] dj.shauny.g:
I believe that is because Android Oreo was solid in terms of battery life. My S9 started with Android Oreo and the battery life was really good. Since the update to Pie it has been terrible. I don't know what android 10 will bring but hopefully it will sort out this mess with S9 battery
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] kenboyles72:
At first, I did have pretty bad battery life, so I started investigating as far as a non-rooted aspects go. I installed BBS and GSAM battery monitor, enabled permissions with ADB and started checking. The biggest drain was Google Play Services SBM (significant body motion), Bixby and Samsung Location services.

This is a list of things I disabled:

Everything Bixby. Can't stand Bixby and use google assistant anyways.

Disabled all Permissions for Google Play Services, it does not need any permission anyways.

Disabled Samsung Location. Don't need it when you have Google Location.

Disabled Google location sharing and history, I always do this anyways

Installed Greenify and enabled permissions with ADB. I have not greenified any apps, just turned on aggressive doze.

There may be more things I have done, but can't remember right off hand. With the above done, in 5h 44min since unplugged, I have 4hr 30 min deep sleep and 1.4%/hr discharge. I can usually go 3 days on a charge, which at first was only getting about a day and a half on charge.

dude, do you not keep up with the news? apple is under major fire for intentionally sabotaging their "aging" devices. They have been caught red handed intentionally slowing devices down to spur users to buy the new one. Android phones have never in the history of modding suffered battery issues or random slow-downs because the release date of the device is x months ago. Dumbest thing ive heard all day..... heres an article showing that apple is intentionally doing this and they are facing potential law suits

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] LegionCommander:
So it's that time of the year now. with the issues between US and Huawei,

Huawei has finally released its newest flagship Mate series smartphones at Germany. The Mate 20 and 20 Pro

the Mate 30 series comes with a new halo-ring camera design which comes with a circular shape that resembles a professional camera. It also has a new screen technology called the Horizon display which reaches up to 88-degree angle.

https://i0.wp.com/www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/huawei-mate-30-mate-30-pro-specs-price-yugatech-2.jpg?w=720&ssl=1[/IMG

[IMG]https://i1.wp.com/www.yugatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/huawei-mate-30-mate-30-pro-specs-price-yugatech-3.jpg?w=720&ssl=1

The Mate 30 phones are based on Android open source, meaning they will still function like Androids. What they won't have, though, is Google services or apps. No Google Maps, no Google Chrome and, most importantly, no Google Play Store.

Instead, you'll surf the web through the Huawei Browser and download apps through the Huawei AppGallery. The AppGallery has around 45,000 apps, according to Huawei, compared to the Google Play Store's estimated 2.7 million. Google typically licenses the latest version of Android, currently Android 10, for phone manufacturers to use. The Mate 30 phones will instead be powered by open-source Android and run EMUI 10, Huawei's user interface that approximates Google's Android 10.

This means Huawei will only be able to bring security updates to the Mate 30 phones when those updates hit open-source Android.​

PRICES
Huawei Mate 30 8GB + 128GB – EUR 799
Huawei Mate 30 Pro 8GB + 256GB – EUR 1099
Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G 8GB + 256GB – EUR 1199
Porsche Design Huawei Mate 30 RS 12GB + 512GB – EUR 2,095

Personally, I'd keep mine and wait for a bootloader unlock code window to open again. I love my Mate 20 Pro.

but seeing the Mate 30/Pro running on AOSP looks

What's your take?

It's a nice phone, but a big no for me, I hate the trend with curved screens, I have problems with my mate 20 pro when using it with only one hand, imagine how many phantom presses you get if the screen is curved more.

Then also I'm rooted on my mate 20 pro, and I'm sure that there won't be any more unlock codes.

The missing Google services is nothing since you can install them yourself.

You can't do this any more. Google shut the door. Manual installation of Google apps and services is not a option by now.

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

Certainly no Google - no buy whatever good the phone is. Huawei have to sort is out ASAP. Otherwise they can forget about smartphone business outside China for sure. I don't need a phone without Google. Even if a new Google services installation hack will be available, I won't be bothered to buy over $1k smartphone to mess with it and have a headache about Google problems.

combine this with the fact that Huawei isn't allowing unlocked bootloader, forget it.

My wife's mate 20pro got the update a couple of days ago and we have no issue's. can you not roll back to EMUI 10.1 using hisuite?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] cfds:
Maybe a late reply, I jumped ship from the 20pro to the 30pro. Had GMS installed in the early days when it was still available. Since then I have no issue with the device, did all the OTA updates and still have GMS running fine. A few issues with notifications but that's about it. Compared to the mate 20 pro the mate 30 pro is a big upgrade. Camera wise, screen wise and I would not go back to the mate 20pro even if they would offer me cash. Don't get me wrong here, nothing wrong with the mate 20 pro - my wife has my "old" mate 20 pro and it is still going strong, just received the EMUI 11 update but the camera is clearly not match for the mate 30 pro camera. Also the form factor, I prefer the "boxy" screen design over the rounded corners but that's personal taste. From what I have read, now google has realy blocked newer devices from installing GMS so it will be a struggle. On the other hand it is the perfect devide for all who wants to get rid of google and have a googleless device. Try to remove google on your samsung device or even on your mate 20 pro...
[Google Pixel 4 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] rabaker07:
Why does the stock clock repeat the date when the homescreen already displays the date at the top (without the ability to customize or remove, as far as I know). And you can't edit the clock either, to remove the date, so you're forced to see it twice. Or get Chronus or whatever 3rd party widget...

Why? Or am I missing something?

I have done everything to flash my T-mobile MDA to run WM6. But no luck. I have run all of the roms discussed on here. Downgraded and upgraded and still running Wm5. Which is fine, but I'd much rather run wm6 or 6.1. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I also have read all the discussions on here, but I seem not to understand how to upgrade. Is there a physical link to WM6. Any suggestions would be very greatful.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] rotcoddam:
I, myself, am rather new at this also....but I think I may be able to help. I recently unlocked and flashed my TMO MDA (G3), and also an AT&T/Cing 8125 (G4) for my son, with complete success. And to be honest, the MDA-G3 was a bit more tricky. The best advice that I can give is to follow the two threads below. Best o print out a set of them to refer to when you're in the process. At some point, you'll jump from one set of instructions, to the other. Follow the instructions to the letter, and reFlash with the Button ROM if necessary, as instructed in the 2nd thread. In the "The Definitive Guide to Unlocking & Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards", pay special attention to Steps 16 and 17. Above everything else.....Be Patient, and don't unplug or restart anything unless you're instructed to do so. It took me a few times to get it right with the MDA, but it does work. Good Luck!!!...Let us know how if you're successful!!

Use the ar emoji camera instead of the default one, the picture just comes out way better, there's more detail and better colors.

Idk why but when using the stock app the picture looks ok on the viewfinder, but when you take the picture the quality just drops a ton, even on Instagram i get better selfies.

when taking a selfie use the wide angle camera its not actually taking a wider pic but instead not croping the image so you get a higher resolution selfie pic.

All that issue coming after use pie with build v10.0.13-14, cause before its working fine.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] TechnoSparks:
If you ruled out the possibility that your telco is misbehaving, then

• Try resetting network settings by going to Settings > System > Reset Options

• Do a full flash from a fastboot package. This should restore your RIL-related files IF they were somehow modified. Be careful not to overwrite your data partition. Otherwise your data is lost.

It is a good "ritual" to always prepare and do periodical backup of your device.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueKalel:
Hi all,

So I heard around the internets that LoD may not be coming to the Note 10s and that it may have been canceled all together. With that said on my free time I've been poking around the decompiled apk to see how it works. I have found the checks and recompiled (also want to say there's a thread in the S8 forum that was trying the same thing and I got to the same position as them).

The kernel source shows that "CONFIG_LOD_SEC=y" so that's good

It still didn't work. Eventually, since I have an S10+ and a Note 10+, I decompiled then recompiled without modification and tried to run on my S10+ and got the error "Update your software Linux on DeX requires your device to have the latest software to support some features."

Clean Binary

... I LxD_i : getDeviceName: model: SM-G975U, device: beyond2q

... I LxD_o : isSupportedBinary: binary version: 5, required version: 4

Clean Binary with recompile

... I LxD_i : getDeviceName: model: SM-G975U, device: beyond2q

... I LxD_o : isSupportedBinary: binary version: 1, required version: 4

I believe Note 10+ has everything needed to run LoD but the code below is whats stopping it from running. If someone has a rooted Note 10(+) and can change the device name to "beyond2q" and device model to "SM-G975U" then sideload the Samsung signed apk I'm hoping it will work. If this is the case then the non-samsung signed apk is whats stopping LoD from running.

private static String a(String str) {
String str2 = c;
Log.d(str2, "getDeviceNameByDevice: " + str);
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(str)) {
return null;
}
if (str.startsWith("crown")) {
return "CROWN";
}
if (str.startsWith("gts4")) {
return "TABS4";
}
if (str.startsWith("gts5")) {
return "TABS5";
}
if (str.startsWith("star")) {
return "STAR";
}
if (str.startsWith("beyond")) {
return "BEYOND";
}
if (str.startsWith("winner")) {
return "WINNER";
}
if (str.startsWith("great")) {
return "GREAT";
}
return null;
}

Any help is appreciated.

I have had a poke around on this myself, It checks for the Validation of the Apk itself, an if its not signed by Samsung then it fails to launch the environment.

I give up at this point, Couldn't locate the validation check to see if it was possible to remove it.

Might be possible for someone to edit the App after its been installed with Root privileges, But this is the first device i have not needed to root and i am unsure if i will root this one.

I just tried this and the information is correct. 1.0.43 does indeed seem to operate. Well, I downloaded the Ubuntu image and then tried to use terminal mode. It doesn't work for me. But, it let me get as far as installing it.

EDIT: I tried DeX too and that also fails. It seems that the older version can set up the image but something is likely missing in the Note 10 firmware in order to fully support this. Now, that's boneheadedly stupid. The phone is basically a Note 9 with the processor and GPU from an S10, both of which are fully supported. I'm going to have to guess that our good buddies Microsoft are behind this garbage.
