[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
What is your reasoning for wanting to do this? So that you could root later or reload the OS if the phone becomes inoperable? Then just set the OEM Unlocking slider to on, but don't actually perform the unlock, and then you can can unlock at any time it might become necessary. Remember, unlocking a Pixel is a far simpler thing than unlocking most other devices, as long as OEM unlocking is turned on, it's a simple fastboot command.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Skittles9823:
He doesn't want to have to wipe later on though, which is fair enough imo.

That's the main reason I unlock and root as soon as I get new phones.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] fjm568:
This.

It's the wipe by unlocking later that I want to avoid.

Actually, my only reason for rooting is Titanium Backup. I like being able to backup and restore certain apps data and being able to freeze certain apps. Which actually bit me in the ass on my unlocked and (formerly)rooted Pixel 2. I had a forced OTA happen to me recently, which unrooted my phone and I now can't retrieve some apps data and unfreeze some apps without re-rooting. I don't know how the OTA went through since I was rooted with Magisk and TWRP.

So, being that there are ways to do backups of the 2 apps data that I used TiBU to do without being rooted, I would think that unlocking the bootloader so that I could reload the OS easier later would be the thing to do. I don't use Google Pay or the other similar apps, so the unlocked bootloader shouldn't hurt me.

What other apps would be flagged and not work with an unlocked bootloader?

[Nokia 9 PureView Questions & Answers] rco133:
Hi.

I have just moved from a Huawei P9 Lite to the Nokia Pureview 9 and when I am dialing a number on the keypad, the Pureview has a very annoying behavior.

The phone has a list of recent calls and also the contacts list.

If I have dialed a number some hours ago, it is no longer at the top of the recent calls list. So I start to type the number on the keypad. However the pureview only searches through the contacts list for similar numbers, and not both the contact list and the recent calls list. That really sucks, since I then have to enter the entire number manually, instead of just the first 2 or 3, and then pick it from the list of suggestions.

Is there any way to make the Pureview 9 include the recent calls list in the search for similar numbers, when starting to enter a number on the keypad?

I have not installed any dialers. I am just using the one that was on the phone when I got it.

On the P9 Lite it was a breeze to just enter the first 2-3 numbers, and then pick the number on the list that came up with numbers containing those numbers.

In my opinion this is a big step backwards.

And no, I don't want to add everyone to my contacts, since many of the people, are ones that I will not be calling again after a job is done.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys n Gals,

Please help me!

Basically just got a HTC Universal locked on T-Mobile UK, which I bought 2nd/3rd hand.

Got it quite cheap and love it! Only problem is I want to unlock it and use on O2. However, whenever I attach USB cable to phone and laptop/PC message comes up saying USB Device not recognised!!! It is really frustrating!!!!

Tried all variations e.g. diferent PCs, cables etc to no avail. My HTC Artemis connectes just phone on any computer!!!

Basically all I want to know is that can I unlock it without being able to activesync to it?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Help as I am running out of options. Have hard reset phone to solve USB issue bt nuttin! Tok it to phone shop to get repaired but they said they could not USB to it either and can't unlock it!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] beast0898:
Two possibilities,

1 You dont have activesync installed on the PC (activesync drivers are required to communicate with device or you use Vista which requires driver downgrade (instructions in the Wiki))

2 Your USB port is damaged and requires resoldering to attach the correct pins (simply job to do, cheap repair, instructions are on the forum/Wiki)

Cheers,

Beasty
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] RAF_SHC:
Thanks beast0898 for your suggestions. I use Win XP.

I suggest it is the USB port that needs repair as tried many PCs all with activesync latest version installed still same response.

Ill try the soldering now. Hope there is some pics and stuff to help me out!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] beast0898:
The job is a very simple one to do yourself, the connector can easily become loose if your are not gentle when inserting cables. When you open the Uni up, you will see how easy it is sir. There are companies in the UK that will do it for you for around £40 with a new connector, if you're not happy doing it yourself.

Cheers,

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] HuskyDad:
So, I am changing this thread entirely. My original thread is hidden below.

I am running stock 10.0.1 rooted with Magisk. I was having the following issues:

1) Whenever selecting "Build and Install" for an overlay, it would then not show up in the Manager tab.

2) Whenever attempting to uninstall an overlay, it would not uninstall.

Turns out, any time I make a change in Substratum I have to restart before that change takes affect (with the exception of enabling/disabling an overlay). I'm not sure if this is the expected behavior, but if it is then it wasn't made very clear. So hopefully this helps anyone else who is experiencing the same issues.

Substratum has been really shaky for me on 10.0.1. My main issue is that I cannot get overlays to uninstall.

In substratum I go to Manager > Check the (already disabled) overlay that I want to uninstall > Tap the Action Button > Tap "Uninstall selected."

Nothing happens when I do this. Any ideas?

[Update] The workaround that I have found practical for my purposes was to run the SubstratumRescue.zip from TWRP. You will have to reconfigure your gesture and customization settings when you do this, but it is not as much of a pain in the ass as it could be I suppose.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Lacster:
Hey guys,

So I bought a second hand OnePlus 6T, Everything seemed to be fine. Phone is in great condition and I had no complaints.

After a while of using it, I realised that when I played WhatsApp voice notes the screen would go off and it would play the vn through the earpiece.

If I make a call the screen will go off until I press the power button (if I have the option to put down the call if I press the power button) or I would have to wait until the other person taking the call to hang up.

It is quite an annoying issue and would like to know whether anyone here would be able to guide me on what else I can check with regards to the proximity sensor.

I have tried 2 sensor apps (AndroSensor and Sensors) as well as gone into engineering mode (*#808#), I have attached a picture of the results from all of these.

These pictures are always the same even if I bring an object close to the sensor (which should be on the left of the front camera, right?)

There is a little bit of dust in the earpiece and can actually see a few dust particles in the front camera, would the dust be enough to interfere with the proximity sensor?

The phone is rooted now, but the issue was there before root. I am using the 8GB + 128GB ROM model.

I have tried upgrading to oos 10, then went back to oos 9.0.11 and also 9.0.17.

Any help will be appreciated, many thanks! ^_^

Is the device model on bootloader the same as firmware?

I remembered that similar issue happens when there's a problem with the kernel (boot.img) either it wasn't flashed correctly, or is older than the actual firmware.

lacasapc, try to Hard Reset, hold down both soft keys and reset with stylus. If that doesn't work then try this : Flash it to you device while it in tricolour screen. Make sure that your activesync disable & use the latest RUUwrapper.

Open Activesync, select connection settings and untick "Allow USB Connections".

Run the RUUwrapper.exe file for the os you want after connecting the hermes via usb. Chose SPL 1.40 then HARD SPL and then flash the new OS. This should work.

Mate 20X 5G EVR-N29 & EVR-AN00 EMUI 10/Android 10 Release & Experience Questions

Hi! I am in the process of getting my new Mate 20x 5G EVR-N29 despite its disadvantages over the 4G version and would like to know if the EMUI 10/Android 10 Update is released or releasing anytime soon.

Also, please share your experience and bugs as well as there does not seem to be any dedicated threads for this device.

Not sure why but hope this will change as I think there should be dedicated sub-forums for this model to help users with device specific guidance, customisations and news.

In particular, I would like to know if display density reset issue remains or whether call recording can be enabled by default on EVR-N29.. Comments on Battery Life, Loudness of Speakers, M-Pen use and 5G performance also welcome.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jbmc83:
may i ask why u went for the 5G version? summary of disadvantages:

- smaller battery

- no stereo speakers (earphone is now used as second speaker, thus unequal loudness)

- no 3.5 mm headphone jack

- higher battery consumption at 5G / basically non-existant coverage as of yet

- significantly higher price tag

- sound not as loud / good as the 4G version (headphones)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Have you spent any time browsing the Huawei forums on XDA, in particularly this one for the Mate 20x? They are basically dead "Mate", no pun intended.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] AWFRONT:
Great question! Very accurate list of disadvantages. Thanks. I was one of the first to post about the disadvantages of this model in this forum when the details of its features were first leaked, subsequently officially announced. I was and still very upset with Huawei for what they did to Mate 20 X.

I am getting a very special discount on the price of the 5G model which I could not refuse so I am buying it. I love large phones and currently still using my Zenfone 3 Ultra and very happy with it despite the lack of NFC and 5G but want my next phone to be 5G ready and larger than my current phone as a future investment and to protect its resale value. Until proper folding devices become widespread, I think I could manage with the 5G Mate 20X. Besides, it also has large memory (compared to the European non-5g model EVR-L29) and Google Play Store and GMS is pre-installed so not need to sideload like on the non-5G 256Gb version (China Version).

I will share my experience with it when my phone arrives next week and really hope I could upgrade to Android 10 as hopefully the display density reset issue will be solved so I could make better use of the screen space.

Sound is not as 4g

We didn't receive EMUI 10 yet even beta

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jbmc83:
how can performance be higher if hardware is exactly the same in terms of SoC?

8/256 also in chinese 4G

battery performance should be significantly different at 84% battery capacity plus 5G eats more battery than 4G, especially with a separate 5G modem, so more hardware to power.

both 4G and 5G models are rated at IP53, no difference there.

supercharge at 40W is indeed different / higher than 4G and of course its nice to have global version :)

not criticizing here folks, just keeping the facts straight! ;)
