[P3600 General] MacGuy2006:
So, I was right. You had never been close to an iPhone, had no clue about it, but just like to hear yourself talk....

...kind of like "Dude, the Ferrari 599 sucks..., I've never been close to one, but I read it has only two doors, sits only two adults, low ground clearance.... And no after-market add-ons.... All eye-candy, dude... only Ferrari fanboys dig it.... bleh."

P.S. Cut-and-past is available in the 3g iPhone. It may not be for everyone, but with it so close to market, it's just silly to blindly dismiss it because of clueless FUD.
[P3600 General] racerx_:
you know guys, this is pretty ridiculous.. if you wanna keep arguing do it via PM.. we really don't need to see this thread full of your personal opinions of one another
[P3600 General] riri22:
HA HA Looks like the Apple Fanboy is still vexed and needs a revenge!!!

:D

You are so childish that it is ridiculous.

You were wrong as you have always been:

- you said there was no Iphone available in my country, it is distributed in every shop

- you said I had never been close to an Iphone, how come my aquaintances have some that I can play with whenever I want to?

:p

I was right: you can't read and you can't analyze, that's why you keep missing the point and saying off-topic childish nonsenses.[/B]

I know you can't read but I will say it again to you until you grow up:

The Iphone is out of the picture for me because it lacks some KEY and BASIC features such as:

-MMS capability

-Visio call capability

-video recording capability

-copy and past capabilty

-a decent auto-focus system on the camera

-an FM radio

etc.

This has nothing to do with getting close to the Iphone or playing with its eye-candy interface.

It is a matter of objective LACK OF FEATURES, so I can decide it doesn't fit me on this point by reading the technical features' list. No need to waste time and proscrastinate over the interface!

The Iphone is not more expansive than the Touch Pro or the Diamond or any other smartphone of the same range.

It's just that for the same money the Iphone gives you LESS features,

and the manufacturer keeps collecting easy money from you, even after you bought it

:

- out of battery changing

- out of soft, games (online apple store)

- out of mandatory ringtones

- out of a mandatory data-plan for two years

etc.

Only a naive fanboy like you would ever accept such an abusive system.

You can keep talking childish blabla about ferraris you are still pointless.

:p

P.S.: Ferrari are expansive cars, but they give you at least as many features as other same range car. And Ferrari, in terms of customer policy, do not have more abusive conditions than Lamborghini, MacLaren, Bentley, Rolls Royce or other luxuous cars. It has only two seats because this is a common standard for this type of sporty cars. This came from race cars design, in order for the car to be lighter and thus faster. Nothing weird at all. I would definitely go for a Ferrari. But how come the Iphone is the ONLY 3G phone in this range without front camera and visio-call capability and has the cheapest rear-camera? To be more sporty? Your clumsy excuses don't make any sense Fanboy! In terms of features, Diamond, or Nokia N series are (as far as I know) more complete than the Iphone, are more OPEN to FREE upgrade (no need to hack or jailbreak and lose your warranty)and you are not forced to accept abusive data plans for the next two years!
[P3600 General] taiseer999:
HI Pal how is it going,

I am not considering the Diamond as its constrains are already known to everyone, I might either get a Touch Pro or a Sony Ericsson
[P3600 General] racerx_:
woah, you're alive!! ha.. good to hear from you

i've got my diamond already, and my trinity is gone (*sniff sniff*).. but i've got to say i'm very happy with the diamond.. i wish it had an expansion slot, but i can always upgrade again later when something comes out.. one thing is for sure, it handles the phone functions sooooooo much better than the trinity. And TF3D is pretty addictive even though its not perfect. (and as a former iphone owner i'd like to say for the record that iphones lag here and there too ha)
[P3600 General] MacGuy2006:
Hey, I haven't played with the Diamond.

How do you like the TF3D and do you find its functionality and user experience much better than the Diamond-like UI stuff available for the Trinity, like this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=402021?

Also, how does TF3D compare to the iPhone UI, in your experience?
[P3600 General] riri22:
Thanks for the review Racerx and happy to see that neutral phone users, with a neutral nickname, have exactly the same analysis that I had on Trinity, Iphone and Diamond.

;)

I learnt something new though, through your experience:

The Iphone's eye-candy interface lags like hell...

I thought only its features' list was a failure and that the interface was its main asset.

If even its UI is a mess, I don't see what the Iphone has left to brag about...

:rolleyes:
[P3600 General] racerx_:
TF3D is definitely better than SPB mobile shell.. looks better and runs better. I like it.

Its hard to compare to iphone UI.. in many ways i'd say TF3D is cooler than iphone UI, due to it integrating a home screen, messaging, contacts, etc.. it does lag a bit here and there, but better than i thought. I'm pretty impressed with it. To me, the laggiest part of the trinity was the phone.. dialing numbers was zzzzzzzzzzzz. now its super fast.

the main diff is iphone UI is very much integrated in the OS.. this runs on top of the OS.. so like to view messages you see them in TF3D.. but to reply or write messages, it has to take you out of TF3D back to the messaging app.. HTC should just write their own OS.. ha
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] marvelljones:
I know it's a strange question but I would like to know if anyone has successfully gotten a Linux Distro to boot on the Honor 5x. Not Kali NetHunter, but an actual distro like those below:

Ubuntu Touch https://ubports.com/

Plasma Mobile http://plasma-phone.org/

postmarketOS https://postmarketos.org/

I'm just interested in it booting and basic "tablet-like" functionality being available on the phone. I'm asking because I just reclaimed the phone from my son who was using it as a "small tablet," I'm intrigued by a "phone" version of Linux, and I don't have the time to try and build it from scratch myself. I'm not asking anyone to do it for me, I'm just asking if someone has already done this at least semi-successfully. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi Y'all,

I just dirty flashed the December update, and then attempted to patch boot.img with magisk and flash that with fastboot, same as I've always been doing on Android 10 without fail. However, this time, it starts to boot, I get ADB, it bootloops twice, then goes back to fastboot with an error saying something to the effect of "no available slots"

I re-patched and it came out with the same md5sum of b1d09aa00e3376f3d4ceba4e97b99eae

I was able to get an adb logcat on both attempted boots, they're too large for any paste service so I threw them on a VPC I have

http://irc.killingkittens.net/logcat1.txt

http://irc.killingkittens.net/logcat2.txt

Magisk Canary, manager version 7.4.1-72edbfc4 (260)

Happy to provide any other info that would help.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] DOMF:
I see that you're on older versions of both Magisk and Manager than I am. Which update channel are you on?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
OK, root worked on my wife's P3. Canary 7.4.1-72edbfc4 (260) Manager an 20.2.72-edbfcr (20108) Magisk after flashing patched. Both show up to date. Install was a hyrbrid of flash-all and OTA. Still nobody seams to have found a reason why the flash-all (no -w) fails in fastbootd at product, but if you then switch to recovery while still on and then ADB sideload the OTA all is fine. 29.0.5 platform tools of course.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] prot-:
Works as normal for me.

I always sideload ota and then patch the boot.img from the full download
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] swieder711:
Are you saying that if I update by having the phone in fastboot mode and running flash-all with -w removed than the phone update fails or gets wiped?

I had that experience last month where my phone was wiped even with -w removed! I would like to avoid getting wiped this time!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
Thankfully, no. I can't speak for any possible error when doing a flash-all (without -w), but the one that fails with the "sending product FAILED (Write to device failed (Invalid argument))" just shows a press any failure in command prompt and press any key to continue. The phone remains in fastbootd where you can use the volume keys and power to select recovery he use the keys again to select "sideload OTA from ADB" and while it is waiting use the "adb sideload [OTA path/filename].zip" command in commander and it acts as if you used the sideload in the first place changing slots, not erasing any data/settings/apps. I am not 100% sure yet, but I tend to think that the script is now acting differently if used without the -w but started without flashing stock .boot to both slots to unroot and remove any non-stock kernel. I have been doing it that way for 3+ years now on a Pixal, Piixel XL, Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL without issue until last month. I wanted to try it one more time this month after messing with my path and such, but I guess I will have to wait until January to try again. The 3 XL is on Havoc, so I can't test that one. My proposed instructions before doing it are 1)disable all modules, 2)reboot to system, 3)go to BL, 4)Flash previous stock .boot to both slots, 5)boot to system, 6)go to BL, 7)flash-all (without -w), 8)cross your fingers. :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] DOMF:
Can someone give me the md5 of the patched boot.img from this release? Or, upload a working patched file?

I found the reason:

Bad cable -> Solution: try another cable,

bad USB port -> Solution: try another port or computer,

or old SDK version -> download and update.

Definitely one of these.

Anyway, I also have the problem with bootloop after patch.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
Worked just fine here flashing full image (-w) and then applying the patched boot.img from Magisk (20108). Not sure what is going on, but make sure you are on the latest binaries 29.0.5 (October 2019)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] DOMF:
Ugh I don't wanna wipe, especially without having taken a TiBu backup first (I know, bad me, it's just worked every time flawlessly so far!)

I'm on 29.0.5.1

~ fastboot --version
fastboot version 29.0.5-1
Installed as /usr/bin/fastboot

but now that you mention it, I've run into an issue with Arch's implementation of android-tools in the past. Will try from my mac tomorrow.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
You wouldn't need to wipe... just fastboot flash the original (stock) boot.img and then get it sorted once back into System. Best of luck :good:
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] odontastic:
When I got into the bootloop after applying the Magisk modified boot.img, flashing stock boot.img didn't fix it for me. I had to flash-all again to get it to boot.

I have the latest Canary Magisk Manager 7.4.1-72edbfc4(260) installed, but I also tried the stable channel and still had the same problem. I noticed that my phone faile SafetyNet over ctsProfile: false. Could my problems be related to not un-hiding Magisk? And thinking back, I may not have rebooted after disabling my modules before I started flashing.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ev1lchris:
Add me to the list of the people affected by this. The other day my phone started heating and rebooting. Then, later on, it wouldn't turn on. I did a hard reset and was pleased to see the updating apps dialog box, but then it just rebooted into a bootloop.

I searched the web for fixes. They were suggesting opening up the phone and blow drying it to loosen and then harden the solder connectors.

I've done that twice.

Unfortunately, I've had no success with that method and I don't want to do it again. On top of that, I lose two of the tiny screws. This has become a major headache. I've owned this phone for four months.

I'm going to buy a Moto G6 to replace it. But, before I turn in the towel are there any last-ditch efforts I can take before I consign the LG G4 to a paperweight?

[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] ev1lchris:
I'm going to buy the Moto G6 to replace a phone which recently stopped working.

Are there any major issues I should know about the phone before I commit?
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Peabody424:
Yes, absolutely. The phone comes with Android 8 Oreo, then is later updated to Android 9 Pie. That Pie update pretty much ruins the phone. It becomes very laggy and non-responsive. There is a 56-page thread on the Lenovo/Motorola forum on this problem. It appears Motorola is doing nothing to fix the problem, or even acknowledge it.

It's possible that doing a "Rescue" using the Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant will fix the problem, but there haven't been enough reports from those who've tried that to be sure about the result. I don't think anyone should buy the G6 at this point. If you have to have a Motorola phone, the G7 would probably be a safer option. But consider buying another brand.

I have just unboxed two G6 to prepare them for family members. I've gone through all the available OTA-Updates without doing anything else with the phone before.

Now it's sitting with Android 8.0.0 and security patch level September 2018 and it is claiming that this is the latest SW available.

Is there anything special to do in order to get the further updates?
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Peabody424:
That's very interesting information. I believe all the US G6 phones have been provided updates to Android 9 Pie, but I don't know about the European models. I guess there is a chance that Motorola has stopped upgrading to Pie in view of all the problems many have had as a result. For the US phones, all the updates were provided automatically, one at a time, and I believe the latest one is the October, 2019, update.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] xrig:
OK, Motorola's support told me that I have to install a SIM card to see all the further updates.

I have throwed in my own SIM and then I was able to go to a whole bunch of further updates ending up with Android 9 and October 2019 patch level as expected.

Now I am curious whether or not I am able to reproduce the widely reported lagginess...
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] KryptonKal-El:
I ordered this phone for my gf's xmas present today, she's looking forward to it and overdue for an upgrade. I never had any complaints with motorola phones and previously owned a moto g4. IMO they are still the best budget smartphones today. I always update new phones out of box to the latest software and then factory reset to avoid any possible glitches. And if my OCD kicks in I'll do factory reset twice lol, never had any software issues/lags after that. Some dislike the logo at the bottom of the phone, I actually like it. Already saw like 4 or 5 reviews for this phone on youtube including the pie update, so far it's everything I expected until it arrives.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] FrogFan:
I've been watching threads on G6 lag for awhile. I'm looking forward to your update. Based on what you've heard from Motorola regarding the need to install a SIM to get the latest updates, I'm wondering if lag problems are related to the carrier you're using. I'm using Sprint, and I'm experiencing lag.

Multiple people have reported that factory resets -- there are evidently a couple different ways to do it -- have improved the lag problem but that it returns after a short time. I've yet to see a report that confirms a factory reset has "solved" the lag problem. I'm hoping I just missed it.

Also, just to counter your experience in case others are interested, I had a G4 too. It developed a hardware problem after less than 2 years and wouldn't play any audio. I discarded it for the G6 I have now and, after less than two years, it's been all but ruined by the Android 9 update.

I'm really hopeful to see confirmation here or elsewhere that there is a definitive "fix" for the lag issue on this phone.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] KryptonKal-El:
I bought the G4 for my mom, kept it stock and updated for 2 years never had any lag or hardware issues, still runs like OOB experience and runs perfect today. Forgot to mention another Motorola that I still have in excellent/like new condition, my FAVORITE phone of all time and wish they can make a replica with today's specs....my Nexus 6. Damn I miss that phone, trying out different roms, painting my front facing speaker grills with glow in the dark neon colors lol, using it for VR, it was impossible to brick and now it just sits in a shoe box with my other spare phones. All my phones are kept in military grade cases with screen protectors can't speak for hardware issues. I'll let you know how it goes after getting the G6 and setting it up with the latest software update.
