[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Hamudi2000:
When I got my Diamond yesterday, I was impressed how small this unit is, especially copared to my big fat Hermes. I really like those slim dimensions of my new gadget :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sandervanzijl:
i would guess from the pictures that it would be a lot bigger.

i have the qtek 8300 (tornado) which is

Lengte : 107,5 mm

Breedte : 46,2 mm

Diepte : 17,5 mm

so the diamond is not only about the same size it is also a lot thinner.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] SolusCado:
It really is as small as they say. Smaller than an iPhone. MUCH Smaller. I LOVE IT!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Radix999:
Yep, the size is one of the big attractors imho - it's smaller than 90% of the phones out there.. nokia/lg/sony ericsson, etc included - and yet it has so much functionality!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sandervanzijl:
another unbeatable feature :-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] KukurikU:
i have a friendly argument with an iphone lover. he asked me what the diamond can do that the iphone (with 3G and gps) can't do. i said to him: this! and let my diamond slip in my t-shirt pocket....he got the message.

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] evanB70:
First of all your post's title is very misleading, edit it.

Look brother, it's inappropriate to make posts like this. Developers do all the hard work for free, but they have a life too. It takes time, skill & a lot of trouble shooting to develop a ROM. So just give them some time, okay?

If we keep nagging them, the devs might feel annoyed & lose their interest in developing for our device completely. Tell me, is that what you want? The problem is we only want to take everything for free, giving nothing in return - not even a little bit of patience!! That's not how the world works.

Android 10 isn't out for this device yet, but we already have 4 Android Q based custom ROMs for A3. You can try those in the meanwhile.

No hard feelings bro, just wanted to share my thoughts with you. Thank you.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] solimanhossain:
i used miui before & bored of stock rom limited features.. used two custom rom they aslo limited features.

that's why want miui or Oxygen os. nobody give any attention if i ask for this two rom

sorry.. i give up ?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] evanB70:
I see. Stock android is not everyone's cup of tea. You see, this phone runs on stock android, so every custom rom for this device is going to be based on stock/AOSP. You probably won't get that cartoonish MIUI for this device. GSIs? May be. But those things are always riddled with bugs. Talking of Oxygen OS, there isn't a whole lot of deference between Android One & OOS. Besides, you'll lose the ability to use your cameras to their full potential - a common problem with custom roms in general.

You really should have gone with CC9e instead of A3.

I, for one, enjoy clean, fluid & bloat-free Android. Every feature you get on MIUI can be duplicated on stock rom with the help of some useful apps & a bit of creativity :)

Basically, stock android is like soft clay. You can customize it to any shape you like (granted, it does require some effort); you can't say the same for 3rd party skins like MIUI.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
I thought that after more than 2 years since Mi A1, people finally learned that if they want MIUI, they need to buy a phone with MIUI and not Android One. What puzzles me even more, Xiaomi offers EXACTLY the same device with/without MIUI, yet people jump on the Android One train and complain.. Sorry for being off-topic, but I'm amazed by this behavior since the beginning of Xiamoi's Android One line :)
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] solimanhossain:
sorry to say you don't realy know indeep about miui.. use oos or miui 1year with using then full feature then you will get your own ansr.. stock is simple & powerful

& one thing if you use telegram you can understand between what's & telegram..just think miui is telegram & stock is like whatsapp

[Touch Cruise General] 3frog:
Hi all,

Problem with the GPS on my Orbit 2! Though so far I love it to bits really.

I have done a search here but cant find anything.. I really hope it is just me asking the wrong question. Anyway someone must know something.

The problem is this:

The GPS with Copilot was working amazingly when I first got it. I was knocked out by it.

I haven't used it much but when I have I was delighted.

However, recently I have been noticing that the number of satellite signals has been going down. It has also been taking longer and longer to get a fix.

Today I could not use it at all, even when it got a "fix" It was showing me no where near the right road.!! Have some satellites fallen out of the sky!!??

Currently it has 3 days before I need to do the QuickGPS thing. So that should be ok.. I will try again with the update but is there any known problem with the GPS. If there are problems with GPS do they normally behave like that or just stop altogether?

If there is a problem I guess I need to send it back.. :-(

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.

Its very painful when you get up in the morning and try to depend on something that is not working!

[Touch Cruise General] patpung:
Same problem

I also got the same problem, but I found out that a reboot solved the issue. After the reboot it found the satellites again.

i search for regular plastic flim but kind find those anymore

also cant find flat glass for S10E (i guess the corners will not be protected if there's such thing)

what to you use,

[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] Derbi75:
I'm still using the stock plastic protector, as i heard the tempered glass ones mess a lot with touch sensibility.

You can get replacement stock plastic ones from Samsung store : https://www.samsung.com/fr/mobile-accessories/screen-protector-s10e/
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] Johniscool:
Yup. TG = 'tempered glasses' do mess with sensitivity. But not all TG have the same issues. But suppose you find yourself with a TG that causes the issue you mentioned. Simply go to settings and increase screen sensitivity. Problem solved. At the end of the day, the stock PP = 'plastic protector' is samsungs way of helping you keep your device unprotected => damage => need of a new phone from the same company => samsung => takes more of your money => repeat. I do not recommend the stock PP.

Hi, a little late to the party. Anybody still here?

Apparently S10e comes new with a screen protector already install'd. I can sort of see it when looking at a corner. I would like to replace it with something that has an anti-glare matte finish. But I'm afraid of causing scratches or worse damage when removing the stock protector. How did you remove yours? (Any advise will be appreciated, thanks.)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] tobisahybus:
Hello everyone.

So, I have been rooting my devices (mostly HTC) over the past 12 years. My primary purpose for root was for installing custom roms. However, for the past few years, I have only been using root for Titanium Backup to bk up, remove bloatware or freeze apps that I want to keep, but don't want constantly running & Game Guardian.

I currently have in my possession, a new Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Snapdragon with 512G of storage as well as a new Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Exynos with 128G of storage. However, I will be sending one back...

Given my latest usage for root, are there alternatives I could use on the SGN9 Snapdragon, return the Exynos & skip rooting?

I appreciate your assistance!

Tobi
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Snowby123:
Root seems unnecessary with this device. Freezing apps can be done using non root methods. The only feature of root I miss is the ability to truly remove bloatware from the device, but the crapware can be disabled just through adb commands, so it is not a big deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] tobisahybus:
Thanks, for the reply! Do you have any suggestions for apps that can freeze, backup & or a good non-root file explorer?

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Snowby123:
Root explorer is the best file explorer. ClockworkMod has a backup app that requires no root. I don't recall what it is called. Island can freeze apps as well as clone them. Just follow the instructions perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] gruuvin:
Are you in the USA? If so, then keep the Snapdragon, because it's the better device (seriously). You can flash the firmware that matches your US carrier. Are you on T-MOBILE? If so, then SM-N960U1 is the best of the snapdragon models/firmwares, because it is carrier unbranded, with very little bloat, and works with all Tmobile features (unlike other carriers). That's my setup, and it's VERY good with the new Pie+OneUI. No root needed.

Use ADB to disable/uninstall any bloat you don't want. Here is a guide:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/note-9-debloat-bash-script-t3907659

Don't run that script; just pick and choose what you want to disable and run each line individually in your adb shell.

Finally, keep the Exynos if you just need root and can get it working with your provider as well as the Snapdragon model did.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] tobisahybus:
Thanks guys for your advice.

Yes, Atlanta my N9 Snapdragon is the SM-N960U1 variant & I'm on AT&T.

Unfortunately, I now have another conundrum. Prior to transferring my HTC 10 contents to my N9 Snap, my 10 went into perpetual boot-trip. When I finally got it to boot up, there was an internal storage corruption error & TWRP isn't available. In addition, now the 10 won't launch any apps, or read my external SD.

I had previously (& recently) backed the entire phone up on my PC, including TB & all the recent backups from within. However, my N9 isn't rooted. Is there was a way to extract the .apk & data from TB via PC & transfer it to my N9?

Any advice or suggestions are appreciated.

Tobi

USB OTG works for keyboard, mouse, and some USB memory. It does NOT recognize card readers or some other USB memory.

I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to be able to copy files to and from a card reader on my phone (8 GB card formatted FAT32). Two other S7 phones (AT&T and a 3rd party ROM) do recognize the card reader. So does another friend's S9. It seems like a software issue. I would hate to switch my phone to a different ROM (if it's even possible).

Any ideas?

[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrWaste:
Hi,

I'd like to root my zenfone 2 laser (ze550kl z00ld). I've been trying to unlock the bootloader with the Asus app (version 9.0.0.3) for a few days but it fails every time as for many other users (can't post urls but several threads on asus zentalk forums). I can't find version 9.1.0.0 of the tool unfortunately. However, it looks like I could root the phone without unlocking the bootloader because I can use adb to reboot to fastboot mode (adb reboot bootloader from pc command line) as I have enabled developer mode with usb debugging and the computer is allowed on the phone.

Am I right to do this?

- download latest twrp recovery image for phone model (twrp-3.3.1-0-Z00L.img from dl.twrp.me) on computer

- connect phone to computer (linux OS) & reboot to fastboot mode

- flash twrp image via

flashboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-Z00L.img

from computer

- simultaneously reboot the phone from computer via

fastboot reboot

while simultaneously holding down the volume down key on the phone

- this should allow me to reboot into twrp recovery from which I can flash the supersu app zip dowloaded from supersu.com and copied from the computer onto the phone's sd card root

Does this seem correct to you? Is this likely to succeed or should I continue trying to unlock the bootloader?

Thank you very much!
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FHC1998:
Hello

You won't be able to install TWRP without unlocking the bootloader.

The official unlocking tool is very buggy, and pretty much useless since it never works.

I recommend you follow this unofficial method.

https://xdaforums.com/zenfone-2-laser/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-asus-unlock-app-t3405850

You should be able to unlock the bootloader in less than 5minutes. Just enable adb, boot into fastboot and run the code available in that thread, and it should do the trick.

After unlocking, then you can install TWRP and then Magisk, if all you want is to have root.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrWaste:
Hello,

There's something I don't understand. On the first message of that thread it says:

That can't work for me as my phone isn't rooted.

It says to follow other methods given in another thread to try to root the phone beforehand. I'd read all these threads before. There are three which give a guide to root the zenfone 2 laser ze550kl. One requires to first unlock the bootloader (feels like I'm going round in circles here...) and the other two link to a firmware patch which used to be hosted on mega.nz but aren't available anymore.

I'd love to go the easy way and unlock the bootloader first before flashing twrp recovery and then rooting, but it seems like that's just not possible because all the guides are obsolete, or am I missing something more subtle?

Thanks!
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FHC1998:
If I recall correctly, the root part is only used to make the partitions backup with adb shell.

The bootloader unlocking part (the two line code that goes "echo ....") doesn't need it.

I used this tutorial a long time ago, so take this info with a grain of salt.

The problem is that this phone is almost 4 years old now, so most links are not being updated or dead.

So it might be worth a shot trying to run that code without root. (By my understanding, root does not alter the fastboot binaries, so it should not be necessary).

In any case, I might have a backup of a patched system IMG somewhere on my computer. I'll try searching for it and if I find I'll upload it to you.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrWaste:
Hello,

OK, I'll give a shot that way. If you do find the system image that would be cool.

Thanks.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrWaste:
Hello,

Nope, seems to require root to modify the hex value of byte 16 on the boot device (I presume that's what the command does, there's no man accessible via adb shell but that's what that dd command does on unix machines). I can't even, as normal user, list /dev/block or even /dev:

1|shell@ASUS_Z00L_63:/ $
count=1 seek=16 of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/devinfo <
dd: /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/devinfo: Permission denied
1|shell@ASUS_Z00L_63:/ $ ls /dev
/dev: Permission denied

Bummer, really hoped it would work. Back to unlocking the bootloader via the buggy Asus app it seems, or chucking the phone out of the window maybe... :mad:

Thanks for your help anyway :good:

On the LG V40 if the frp partition from a phone with the OEM lock flag triggered is dd'd to another device, the bootloader will allow unlocking, additionally, the ftm partition on the v40 seems to carry the imei so I assume the same is true for the Pixel, I'd understand if you didnt want to share that partition but I think if the phones imei registers as a Google store one, that could help trick it into working.
