[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Jake.S:
Asus is warning on their forums about sellers selling modified tencent version with WorldWide ROM and that is not correct ROM it should have and Asus says any tencent versions with WW ROM is not official device by Asus and you should return device back to seller. Since warranty won't count and FOTA would probably not work.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] D.Spirit:
Google has been acting like Apple since Pixel 1, A greedy company that puts the minimum specs in their flagships and selling them at the highest possible price.

Pixel 4 and 4 XL are no exception, I can tell that based on the shameful looking and shameful leaked specs. Google as a smartphone maker does not listen to their loyal audience, unlike others.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:

Hey ol friend. Have you seen any mention of the pixel 4 having led notification lights anywhere? I can't find diddly on it :confused:
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Hey. No mention of one. I don't even think the Pixel 2 XL LED was mentioned initially and then people found it after they got it. I doubt the 4 has it though.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Yeah, I remember. That's a bummer man. I really like my led lights! :mad: Thanks man :good:
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bwyan Benton:
I find the lights kinda useless when there's AOD.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] revisioncuda:

[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
To each their own I reckon. I don't like or use AOD personally, but oh well.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] wgrant:
I haven't used AOD or a light notification in a very long time. I just checked my phone way too often. LOL
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ZeroKool76:
I'm actually looking forward to a properly working AOD. Would prefer an LED, but considering OP doesn't offer either, it's a step up either way, for me. Can't get rid of this POS OP6T fast enough. Is the hardware in the 6T in some ways better than the P4, sure. But the software is atrocious. That's where I feel google will shine.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] greyhd:
As I agree that Google is becoming Apple like, they still put out a great phone at a much lower price than Apple.

Corporations are greed personified. Anyone who thinks otherwise should immediately sell their house and send the money to me. I promise I'll use it to fight corporate greed. A small percentage may go towards wine, questionable women, and gambling.

The reality is that people have unknowingly boycotted all of the Pixel devices until the Pixel 3a series (which has the highest sales numbers of any of the Pixel phones). It still didn't stop Google from pushing out new phones each year.

If anything, the Pixel 4 series will be the most successful flagship series phone Google has ever produced. That's because it is the first phone to be available on every major US carrier.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxys:
The OnePlus series was a natural boycott...
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lywyn:
Because R&D teams work for free, and creating a radar chip that small was easy and very cheap. Do you even understand how products are priced? Materials, manufacturing, R&D, custom chip development, long term support and parts availability, global legal compliance and registration, and so on.

If someone provided a quote to build a fence do you argue that a tree doesn't cost that much? *sigh*
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] D.Spirit:
Lol that you excuse them. wake up you are consumer unless you are work for them.

Look, I understand that Google does not want to compete with other Android smartphone makers but....

Why does 64GB internal memory exist in a 2019 flagship ? (regardles of the type ufs 2.1 or ufs 3.0). 8 minutes of 4K video recoring will take all the remaining 50GB space. Google photos compress the quality and not to mention the privacy concerns so cloud storage is not a solution. 128GB should be the standard for any flagship with availability of higher storage options.

The internal storage space is much more essential than the radar and long support that you are proud of . Even the eaten Apple provides big capacities. *sigh*
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lywyn:
Excuse them? Wake up? The way the electronics consumer market work is manufacturers make things, each one designed for a specific purpose. You chose a product based on what suits you best. They do not build custom phones to your very specific requirements just to sell ONE to you. Wake up and understand consumer markets.

Pixel isn't just about making a phone to sell, it's showcasing Google products, services and technology. If they were in it to sell phones they would make more models, for different users. I have 128GB storage in my Pixel right now, I'm using 25%. So 64GB suits my usage. If I wanted to record and store 4K video I would be looking at a Samsung or Huawei as it has 4K camera and lots of storage options. And I prefer cloud storage as it's better, automatic backup, built in disaster recovery, easily access my data/photos on other devices. Best of all if my device was lost, stolen or broken I don't lose anything. I store in original quality as I already pay for additional storage on my account for other data I keep. Google is a cloud company, its product design is built around this.

When people start talking about the privacy I assume you have no social media accounts, don't use any google services, or even an Amazon account. Otherwise, it's total crap spouting your privacy when you already handed so much over.

As you state the iPhone has better video and storage options, why not buy one? Moaning about why the Pixel does no suit you is a waste of your time and effort, look for a phone that suits your needs and be happy.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bwyan Benton:
64gb exists because people shouldn't be stupid enough to store 50+ GB of crap in their phone. That's what the cloud backups are for along with your very own personal backup whether it be a external hard drive or computer. Somebody wanna store 50+ gigs of personal data on their phone and then something happens to the phone and you lose everything...yeah dumb to begin with.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
I just did a 1 minute video which got me 366MB so 8 minutes would be 2,928MB. Not sure where you're getting your numbers.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ZeroKool76:
Thank you, Jesus. Finally, someone who understands. I'm so sick and tired of hearing people squawk about storage sizes

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

And yet another sentiment that I echo and have been trying to get across to people. ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] krabman:
Again, there are lots of people who do not have coverage at all times making cloud storage problematic. There are also people who carry files which cannot be transmitted over the internet or stored at remote sites. These people number in the millions, they are not outliers. Three percent of the US population doesn't possess any coverage whatsoever in their homes. Cloud storage is simply not going to work at all times for all people and we are years from that being the case. It isn't because people who don't use cloud storage are stupid or tech deficient, it simply doesn't meet their needs. It doesn't make local storage good or cloud storage bad, not all decisions we need to make have perfect answers: Often enough we choose the best possible outcome or conversely, the least objectionable choice.

The concept of data being lost because it's on a phones local storage is also fallacious. Think about it: In what world does storing data on your phone mean it can exist in no other place? My MP3s are on both my laptops, a tablet, two phones, 3 cars, a thumb drive and 2 whole system backups on hard drive. Those of course are just some of my data but all of it is fully backed up in multiple locations and readily available. What and where is defined by when I need access to specific data. My work data is a little different because depending on who I contract out to I have to follow different rules for data and connectivity when working with their stuff.

It also makes little difference in restoring data to usefulness because no matter what happens all data backup and restoration is subject to the same paradigm, you must first get a device to restore the data onto before you can use it. In other words if your phone breaks you don't have data whether it's in cloud storage or not because you have no device with which to access it. You must first get such a device and that device is every bit as much a part of your backup as the data itself, you must have both or you have no data because you have no use of it. This means you must always go to the "shelf" before your data is restored and that shelf can always include the data as well.

In the end though it doesn't make any difference, many people cant use cloud storage as a viable backup and storage solution. Doesn't matter how good or bad local storage is as a solution if it's the solution they have to use.

I'll read your responses but this will be my last word here on this topic. Some people will always insist that those who don't use their answer to a problem simply don't get the problem, are ignorant of how wonderful their solution is, etc. This isn't the case but closed minds tend to stay closed.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
I invite you to compare prices with Apple and Samsung before you say boycott this phone because of whatever.

iPhone 11 Pro Max - $1250

-Yes, you get more storage, but... I'll save $350 AND have an Android thankyouverymuch.

Samsung S10+ - $1000

-Whoa, same storage size as the 128GB pixel 4xl! Damn

Yeah, I think I'll stick with a phone I can root, has typically the best camera out there, Solis (which admittedly might end up a gimmick), release day updates AND new OS's, and the best Android features you can get, period.

:rolleyes:
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ZeroKool76:
I'm in agreement with 99.9% of everything you said, other than the soli gimmick thing. This first iteration may be slightly on the unimpressive side, but I have no doubt, down the road, it will improve. Google will do what they do best and create software for it, making it a lot more efficient to use on our devices. Now that that's out of the way, let's get back to the other juicy subjects. If you need more storage, for whatever reason, then don't buy a pixel. If you want a wide-angle lens, then don't buy a pixel. If you want everything else that you stated, then you buy a pixel. That's the beautiful thing about Android, there are devices to suit everybody's needs, but it seems like some people want to have their cake and eat it too. The user that I replied to, hit the nail right on the head.

I know a lot of people that don't use 64 gigs of storage, let alone 128. So, forcing somebody to purchase a device with more storage than they need, that's kind of asinine if you ask me. In my opinion, that's why Google hasn't upgraded their storage, cuz they don't have to. People keep thinking that Google needs their money or needs us to buy their devices, they don't. They make plenty of money off of their cloud services and apps. So, good luck with that boycott ? ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
I understand there's people with terrible data connections on the go. But when at home I would think 99.9% of people with a smartphone have WiFi. That's when the cloud does it's job and backups are done. And on the go, that's the purpose of offline downloading. If you can't get by with a 128 GB local storage plus cloud storage, there might be a problem of digital hording.

Yet it will still outperform Samsung's latest offerings in day to day usage. You've been brainwashed with specs.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] D.Spirit:
Lol that "best Android features" you are proud of... have always been taken from other phones and already existed 2-5 years ago.

Dark mode taken from Samsung

Desktop mode taken from Samsung

Screen Recorder taken from Huawei, Xiaomi, Samsung...etc

Soli taken from LG

Wi-Fi sharing via QR codes taken from Samsung, Smartisan, Huawei...etc

Quit drumming for Google. That's not healthy for tech community.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ZeroKool76:
Soli taken from LG?!? You better check your facts. Google's own in house R&D team made soli(even if they were HTC, before). LG just uses the camera, like every device before it. Obviously you're just looking for reasons to hate the device

Dark mode was NOT a Samsung thing, it came from none other than Custom ROMs initially as did alot of other features.

Motorola did desktop mode first not crapsung

Screen recorders were a root app long before they were natively implemented

WiFi sharing from QR codes doesn't even count as a innovation beyond the original implementation of QR codes.

Quit bashing a phone in the forum FOR SAID PHONE. You just look like a troll

[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
well yes 128gb but theres this thing called an SD card. 128gb is acceptable if you can expand the storage but absolutely not if you cant. also most other manufacturers give options...128,256 and higher google needs to keep up with others or get left behind.

and yeah yeah...cloud storage blah blah blah. guess what all my stuff is also backed up to the cloud however due to the nature of my career i dont always have access to network or wifi so I require local storage.

it may do that yes, however last year the pixels had major ram management issues with only slightly less.

i would think Google has rectified that, however when other manufacturers are offering 12 (which may not may not be excessive lol) 6 looks pretty bad on paper.

ive had enough Google phones to know they are smooth as silk though, They are hard to match in that regard
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
That's the problem of most people nowadays. Sorry to say, but Apple, Samsung and the like got us there years ago. Thus we're now living in a time where OEMs outperform each others by superlatives in hardware, while they don't care to invest and optimize their crappy software - well they might guess there's no need, if hardware is good enough to make up for it. I'm actually glad Google shows off, that software and software optimization can accomplish much better results than a race for the best and most recent phone in means of hardware.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ZeroKool76:
Couldn't agree more. I'll take a pixel, with it's lower specs, over anything OnePlus offers, any day of the week. Their Os is trash
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] D.Spirit:
Crapsung ?? Oneplus's Os is trash ?

The funny thing is that OnePlus is almost identical to Google in term of software being less-featured, fixing updates an developers support. They are the most google-pixled phones, lol.

Anyway, I get it now. This is beyond sense-making. This is fanboyism at a unique level that even isheep did not reach to.

it is also the stupid level of fanboyism.

Can someone help?

I have an s6 edge + on the latest BTU android 7.0 (non root) and tried installing every version of greenify to try to get the wake up trigger cut off option availabe but it is greyed out.

I allowed the ADB commands but it only allows aggressive doze and wake up triggers but the other 3 options of wake up cut off and i need this as the twitter and instagram app i use the most and these 2 apps wake up during the night causing 10% drain overnight.

I normally get 5% max and i know these 2 apps are the culprits.

Does anyone know how or why i cant get the wake up cut off options available?

I dont understand why they are greyed out.

Weirdly on my s4 with 5.1.1 no root with the adb commands i have wake up cut off greyed out yet advanced wake up cut off is available and works.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers] cazuniq:
Good Day All.

My friend bought a second hand Xperia XZ2, they informed him its simlocked, he bought it anyway, he was under the impression he can just bring it to me and I can flash it will work with any sim.

So he brought the phone to me and I checked the network status using *#*#7378423#*#*

According go my research the information I received from checking the Sim status is that the phone has been hard-locked, all attempts have been tried.

If there was attempts left I could have purchased an unlock code.

I did further research and found that there is a Tool that can unlock hard-locked devices, but Im going around in circles.

Further more, shouldn't Flashtools be able to solve this for me?

I flashed the phone with the latest Firmware wiping all the data, but the sim network just doesn't work.

Help would be appreciated
