[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] s327374:
ok - I seem to have encountered a problem.

New Phone for a friend was 7T - I think 10.07 hydrogen out of the box.

Went to put the Latest stable global software on it as per last time. Has been on boot up screen for over an hour... Just tried to turn off and on... WOn't even turn off.

Hmmmm. I didn't want to go the fast boot route etc... but this is not what I expected. Thoughts?

***EDIT: Oh wow that was a worry - ok - so after about two hours, I think it must have just stopped and reset itself, I happened to be holding it at that time trying to turn it off, but I had had absolutely no luck previous to that. Got it into the weird Chinese keyboard and recovery page (that's different) - at the reset page... and then just factory reset the whole thing. After completing formatting, it took another ten minutes to load back... to the Global Oxygen - (phew) and this time it did work. Wow.

I decided to redo the software update though, as I wasn't sure how good a reset it was, but it wouldn't let me??? oh well, factory reset again and it seems to be flying... but I did not expect the 2 and a half hour journey. I don't remember that from last time.

Hello. I got mine, Hydrogen 10.0.7HD65 out of the box. I have not updated the HOS firmware, never connected it to wifi. Everytime I do a local update and install the zip from official Oneplus page, I get the "Downgrading is not allowed" prompt. I guess the Oxygen zip file from the official page is lower than Hydrogen's out of the box? Do you have a higher Oxygen OS download link out there, or is there a simpler solution other than using TWRPs and other apps? Will the link you posted above flash over my current Hydrogen OS? I am no expert and I'm scared to death to brick this new phone that's supposed to be a surprise gift for my wife. Please help. Thank you!

Can you list what file you got from the OP website? Because most of the time after an update announced, the files had not been updated on web.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Skarrab22:
I downloaded the OP7T official OS from this link: https://www.oneplus.com/global/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=PM1574161738631

By the way, I downloaded another "higher" OOS (10.0.9) from an external site. My OP7T took it (without the error mentioned above), but went into soft brick state after rebooting. Stuck in a loading animation. My bootloader was not unlocked and now I'm still searching how to unlock the device.

I'm trying to understand the article on how to use MSM Unbrick Tool here: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/op7t-unbrick-tool-to-restore-device-to-t3994835

But I'm quite struggling with the jargon and instructions coz I'm not the most Dev-savvy person.

=====================

Hey bro. Mine (HD1900 china variant) came out of the box with 10.0.7 Hydrogen OS. I tried to download the official 10.0.7 rom from the OnePlus site, did the local update, of course I got the "downgrading is not allowed" error. I tried downloaded a 10.0.9 Global rom from somewhere here in XDA, to phone took it, but it went to soft brick after rebooting. I managed to unbrick the device by going to recovery mode and wiped everything.

You say yours worked by rebooting the phone again (but it took about 30 minutes)? Mine spent about 40 minutes the first time, I got scared and turned it off. I have not updated the Hydrogen OS from the box, BTW. It's never connected to wifi ever.

I did a remote session with a OnePlus rep this morning and was told that the official Oxygen roms downloaded from their site is not supposed to flash out Hydrogen roms. How true is this? You think re-doing the process would work this time? We were almost ready to flash the official Oxygen OS earlier (via MSM) but we could NOT get the phone to go to EDL mode. I really need to get this device on Oxygen OS before my wife's birthday next week, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks, man.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] pedritopl:
If I were You, I would try the Rollback package build from the Open Beta 1 thread on OnePlus forums. Those are builds for coming back from Open Beta to stable builds and they seem to override the "downgrading is not allowed" problem by having the build number set much higher. If that succeeds just reboot to recovery and wipe data & cache partitions, reboot to system and OTA upgrade to latest stable build.

Haven't tried that myself as my HD1900 came with the OOS already installed, but I believe this should work.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] 1422888:
Locally updated my chinese OP7T(HD1900 from JD) to 10.0.11 Oxygen. But due to having bricked it first time I've learned to unlock bootloader (in adb) and have succeeded only then.

So now phone's unlocked and I can't use NFC in Gpay and so on. I'm not a very hardcore hacking enthusiast but have heard something about some Magisk app therefore one question is bugging me now. Is it more suitable (with less usage issues) for me to relock the bootloader or to try into Magisk and see if it can hide the unlocking from apps? And if I relock the bootloader - will it only wipe the data or will it brick my phone as HD1900's default OS was H2OS?

Sorry if I'm writing in not the best suitable thread, couldn't find "OP7T flashing general" one. If you know where I can address my question more appropriate, pls let me know. Thanks.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] :
Relock bootloader is never recommended if you aren't stock. On Xiaomi it will definitely brick your device. Even if you have EEA on Global for example. With OnePlus devices I don't know.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] guitardoc64:
I'm really considering getting a G6 on boost, instead of some of the newest phones. Is it still a good choice?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] lecorbusier:
I got one in early 2018 because it was the last highend device without a stupid 2,5d elevated rim touchscreen or even worse design faults, making it hard to fit cases and screen protectors. This is even more true today, however the specs of the device are much less than highend now.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] boomboomer:
There are better budget phones around for the money now, rather than a three year old 'flagship' model.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] adorable:
Yes, it's still a great buy, especially if you get it for less than $100.

Flagship cpu, so remains snappy.

Pie update arriving.

SD card - easy to add 128GB for under $15.

Nice wide angle camera along with primary, front and back.

Wireless charging bonus.

A hidden bargain imo.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] guitardoc64:
That's what I have been thinking. I'm probably only going to use it for a short time, and it's got 3 things that I like, wireless charging, IP 68 and continued development.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Emperor88:
Hi guys,

I just recieved my diamond today from smoothmobiles.com.au

I recall hearing that the pre-release models only had 128MB of ram compared to 192MB on the official ones.

Under the 'Memory' tab in settings it reads:

Storage Program

Total: 83.06MB Total: 113.08MB

In use: 29.80MB In use: 78.45MB

Free: 53.26MB Free: 34.63MB

Shouldn't this be 256MB total for storage and 192MB for program?

Thanks, I have a 7-day no questions return policy so I will take them up on that if this isn't the final version.

PS: Under 'About' OS is Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional CE OS 5.2.19588 (Build 19588.1.1.4) It also reads 113MB of ram under this section.

Thanks for any responses :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rorydaredkign:
Is it me, or can people not search. It has been discussed many many times on XDA in general, but has also been discussed in this here forum.

The system uses some of the RAm before it boots, thats why theres only 113MB Program memory free.

Someone close this thread please.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] xtraart:
192MB.of Diamond RAM is 128+64=192MB

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] shyamcurtiz:
Guys. To be honest, I'm not HAPPY at all with the camera quality. None of the images are sharp enough. It is using this software post-processing camera!! It's horrible Samsung it's too soft on the front camera and rear camera even with beautiful mode off! It's unacceptable this camera needs big improvement there is a lack of detail, too much soft on the picture, SHARPNESS is missing. The old phone like my iPhone and pixel and s8 make a better picture than this s10 +.

Do we have any fix/alternatives for this?

Thanks

Hello,

I just flashed Xiaomi.eu ROM 9.10.17. How can I use Google Pay with it? I guess the unlocked Bootloader is preventing Google Pay? When I install Magisk Manager to check if I pass safety net it passes.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] JeffreyM:
My experiences with google pay on Xiaomi.EU roms aren't great...

What you need to install is the magisk manager & hide all the google stuff.

Also you need to hide magisk itself.

https://github.com/davidramiro/gpay-gms-patch/blob/master/README.md

I guess you also need to do this.

But, for me it ain't working.. I guess the problem was with my bank.

Don't know why but I guess it had to be something with Android 10.

I went back to the official miui rom & Google Pay is working again.

I use Google Pay every day so I'm sticking with official rom.

Hope it will work when Miui 11 with Android 10 will be released.

My opinion if you want to do bankstuff & google pay. Stick to official rom. :)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] meuhmeuh51:
Hello. for me, no worries. Google play works.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] sushi143:
Did you delete your cards then reload them? The instructions said load your cards, but probably should've said delete your cards from Gpay first, follow that patch guide, then entire your cards onto Gpay from scratch.

Running MIUI 11 xiaomi.eu with unlocked bootloader, magisk rooted. Gpay works :)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] crysen:
So I have to be rooted with Magisk? Because I didn't want to have root anymore.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Kousei Arima:
Does anyone know a kernel that provides good non muffled, clear sound if not too loud, on phone speakers.. Not for earphones..I have tried Purecaf(really bad for phone speakers, too distorted sound), KangarooX 4.3/4.4 nonOC... Mods like Dolby and V4A dont really help much in clearing the sound for phone speakers, earphones r different story
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] JustS0meone:
Kernels won't give you magically HiFi sound, I'm pretty sure u can't get over 48Khz sample rate or a lower SNR etc. Loudspeaker is as is, try to use EQ on it. I have viper4android and it's prob the best u can get. Dolby/Dts is worse imo...

U can reduce distortion by reducing gain, but that makes it quieter. After all it's a small Speaker and a budget phone.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Kousei Arima:
Yeah i dont want hifi quality or such, ik kernels dont, i just wanna reduce distortion, idk how to configuration v4a that much to reduce distortion properly, tried all profiles, still distortion is there, at this point, i dont mind quiter sound if its not distorted, KangarooX has a little bit less distorted sound than purecaf, but not by that much, n i lose on battery backup too if i switch to kangaroox.. U know any balanced version of these 2 kernels that offers less sound gain n like atleast 6-7 hr sot

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
As we all know the AMOLED lotto is real even if the display was given "the highest A+ from DisplayMate". Wanting to keep track to see if anyone is having any of the following issues: Screen uniformity, banding on gray, dark gray looking purple at lower brightness, blotches, black crush, black smear. If there is something I haven't listed feel free to post the issue. While I know some of these issues are inherent of the technology I would like to gather data and see other's experiences thus far.

On my my device my 128 GB white XL exhibits the "dark gray looking purple at lower brightness". I've also added poll options and I look forward to seeing everyone's responses and thank you for taking the time to read and respond!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
While it's true any oled can get these problems, it does seem there's a fair amount of complaints about display issues already. I think that's because there LG panels, while we know have improved a lot since the 2 XL but they don't seem to be the same standard as samsung ones .

Something like the OnePlus 7 pro I didn't see any things on Reddit, xda about screen faults
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
Ifixit's tearodwn actually shows that Samsung actually manufactured the display. From what I know Samsung's own devices don't have 90hz panels yet. So this could be their first batch and the 4 is their guiena pig to iron out any production issues. But some other reports to report that it is LG. I'll poke around Reddit and see what the folks say down there as well. I could of just been the unlucky one and got shafted on the panel lottery. But everything else is working flawless (for now) and I don't really want to play the exchange lotto. Thanks for the response.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] GohanBurner:
I guess I won the lottery. No issues at all. My P3XL had the purple shift at low brightness though.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
What I would like to know is, the devices that are being affected, are they the XL or the standard version? The XL has all but been confirmed to be samsung, but we don't know about the regular version
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
Really? I see it being Poled everywhere which is LG
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
Nice to know and congrats on winning the panel lotto! My 3XL was the opposite and had no purple shift at low brightness.

Some are saying LG and the others are saying Samsung. I'm more inclined to believe it's Samsung since in the teardown it was confirmed. https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Google+Pixel+4+XL+Teardown/127320 Unless they really went with LG and Samsung for both variants? Last year smaller gets the LG while the XL gets Samsung.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
Maybe not? :confused:

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Who-m...Google-Pixel-4-XL-Samsung-or-LG.439878.0.html hopefully this posts right. Screenshot shows that it has the samsung driver. In the xl at least. Dunno about the standard
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixe..._pixel_4_display_a_big_step_forward_in_black/ This thread here shows that several people have posted about purple and some even green. Whereas some are saying even at higher brightness levels some grays appear purple and then at other times it appears as normal.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
It would be nice if we could get some confirmation on which device this was happening on. So we can at least eliminate one other variable. We still don't know if the panels are the same on both devices. I'm willing to bet that is happening on the smaller version, since no one I know that has received an XL has mentioned it
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] gettinwicked:
I guess I won the lottery. None of the above for me so far. I haven't had the phone for even a day though, so the bottom two are possible yet. I checked the others and it's good to go. Very glad to hear they're Sammy displays too. I had the 2xl, and those LG's sucked.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
XL?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] gettinwicked:
Yes sir! My wife got one too, I'll check hers later and report back.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
Ok, so there's another XL confirmed working fine. Starting to think there may be some credence to my earlier statement
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] wyelkins:
Mine looks great. No complaints. This thing is a Beast!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
And yet, another XL user. Makes me feel better, since that's what I ordered ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Misterxtc:
My 4 XL screen is very nice too. No problems like above. I like it better than the Note 10 plus I just sent back.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
If the XL panels are indeed all Sammy then I and probably a few others didn't win the lotto. I also notice some strange behaviors as well. Adaptive EQ off and ambient on and around 20-30% Discord looks fine, whereas the voice recording app still seems dark/purple until about 70%. Then there are times where I open that app and it seems fine. Another user in the reddit thread I linked is also reporting this behavior on various apps. Hopefully more cotinue to speak up if their screen is fine or not!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
Well, f*ck. There went that Idea. So, just so we're on the same page, you do have an XL and you are experiencing the screen issue? So much for my theory. Was doing well for awhile
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
That is correct I have a 128 GB White 4 XL. I've been digging around Reddit and some others users also have the gray appearing purple and others have gray appearing as green at lower brightness on their XL's.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
Damn. That just took the wind outta my sails
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
It could just be a small percentage of XL devices that are like this. I might try one exchange and see if it's any better, but, I almost don't want to go through the hassle of explaining it to a Google rep. Then there's several other lottos that I would have to hit as well. Plus, I'm not even sure if they have devices in stock since on the page it shows it's shipping by Nov 4th. You would think they have devices in stock for exchanges but I experienced this with my 3XL last year. I had this obnoxious earpiece buzzing during phone calls and had to RMA at the start and it took over 2 weeks before the RMA was even mailed out due to stock.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
Mine just got delivered. Wish me luck
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
Good luck! Let me know how your device turns out.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] krolla03:
Wouldnt be a pixel launch without some screen issues. Next is connectivitiy issues lol.

I was willing to deal with this crap when the phones were affordable. But at $900-1000 my phone better boot up with 0 flaws.

Seems OnePlus is the new Nexus/Pixel line. Where you got eye catching features for an "affordable" price.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] ZeroKool76:
so far, it looks all right. I mean it looks pretty damn clear, certainly not as bad as yall were describing it

I would call it a success, at this point. Obviously I still have to mess with it to ensure all of those other inconsistencies that people are reporting, aren't here.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClW837BxU3I&t= Try this video and tell me how it is at a lower brightness please. For me its' around 20-30% where it's showing up as purple tint. Also, it's easier to notice in a room that's not super bright. Also, force the 90hz refresh rate on and tell me if that happens for you.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
Looks like it is indeed when you force 90hz on in Developer options and you're a lower brightness the panel will display these issues. Guess that's why Google capped the 90hz at 75% brightness on the Smooth display and 60hz for anything else less. That and probably the black smear would be worse at a higher refresh rate if they are indeed using lower quality panels. Whoops, excuse the double post!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Habaddon:
Mine seems warmer than my pixel 3 at full brightness. (That’s the play store search in dark mode)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Ady1976:
And we have another, same as the 2 I've shipped back to Google today, funny thing is dark mode actually alleviated it to some point because everything was dark but it's a **** fix for either a dodgy panel or as Google have stated they've calibrated the screen deliberately to be warm.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] dhorgas:
The greenish tint to the greys appears to be a calibration issue that is somehow related to the 90Hz refresh rate. When I don't use 90Hz refresh I do not have any obvious greenish tint to the greys. Black smear at low brightness is there, but is is also there at low brightness on my Galaxy S10+ and on my iPhone 11 Pro. I am quite used to black smear at low brightness level and accept it as to some degree normal on all OLED panels. Overall, I am really happy with the calibration and the colour reproduction of this display. To some degree I actually like it the best out of the three phones, though the iPhone 11 Pro performs a bit better at lower brightness levels than my Pixel 4 XL.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
Yup, for some reason the tint green/purple is exclusively tied to forced 90hz at lower brightness. If you turn on always on display the problem goes away even with forced 90hz at lower brightness and I'm not sure why. The black smear will still be there and it definitely is limitation of the OLED panels for now. Hopefully some software updates from Google can improve our situation.
