[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Dadovvv:
i would add answer for question 5 since robbo answered all correctly.

5. Just backup persist.img in case u lose l1 and sensors problem. because if u lose l1 u won't be getting back even if u flash extracted persist.img from any rom afaik.

Here is thread on how u can create backup of your persist.img just search my post there

https://xdaforums.com/k20-pro/help/lose-widevine-l1-t4072175

Also downgrading from MIUI 12 to MIUI 10 and MIUI 12 to MIUI 11 (even MIUI 11 android 10

to MIUI 10 android 9 wich is android downgrade also) is possible without any problem as i flashed (downgraded) all scenario without any problems.

but u have nothing to lose if u do backup of persist.img just in case

---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------

1. in my case no but there is report that downgrade causing l1 losing and sensor problem. https://xdaforums.com/k20-pro/help/netflix-widevine-l1-lost-downgrade-t4011417/amp/ (don't know how they manage to lose l1 )

2.not sure, probably sensors should be fixed but not l1 if its broken.

3. No problems if u can successfully bind device for unlock in developer options.

Thank you for your answer.

Do you have K20 Pro version or MI9T Pro? I've read somewhere on this forum that the sensor issue might occur just in the case of indian K20 Pro version.

It is the Global EEA version the one that you have downgrade to, or another version?

I'm asking this because i'm trying to figure out on which version and model downgrading is possible without breaking out the sensors and the L1 support.

Until now it seems downgrading didn't affect the sensors and L1 support in your case and Robbo.5000 but affected others, so wanted to check if it might affect me also on MI9T Pro with Global EEA.

How do you think its safer to downgrade, using Mi Flash or via TWRP/Orange Fox?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Dadovvv:
I have mi 9t pro global mi rom.

I don't think sensors broke causing on specific rom region, its likely users guilty for broken persist.img... they probably downgrade using twrp if they wipe persist.img that caused broken sensors and l1 lost.

Safest way to downgrade is using mi flash tool with clean all options, but be sure u flashing correct region for your device if u chose "clean all and lock" options on mi flash tool.

If u have global mi 9t pro u can lock bootloader on IN (India), MI(global) , EEA(eu), RU (Rusia) rom. Just don't lock bootloader in CN (china) rom it will lead to bricked device.

But as i sugest u create your own persist.img backup and u are safe in future downgrading wiping flashing etc.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] servikt:
I didn't had in plan to install TWRP and to root it before downgrading but I guess I this is the only method to backup persist right?

If i install TWRP and magisk for root to back it up and after than I flash the original MIUI 10 with Mi Flash leaving the bootloader unlocked is there any risk to brick something if it sees the custome recoverry TWRP?

Didn't used TWRP since my old S4 and things seemed to changed in the meanwhile.

Initially I had in plan to downgrade with Mi Flash to Miui10 without locking the bootloader while flashing the image, check if all is ok with the sensors and L1 and if so then to flash it again with Mi Flash to Miui10 but this time with bootloader locked.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Dadovvv:
no risk of bricking anything, u don't need to install twrp u can just boot twrp to install magisk with "fastboot boot recovery name.img" command. so twrp will only boot without installing it.

Ofc u can downgrade without locking bootloader and don't worry if u see l3 on unlocked bootloader. it will be l1 as soon as u lock bootloader. just check sensors and if everything ok flash again rom with "clear all and lock" options.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] servikt:
I'm back with news.

I've flashed back 10.3.1.0 using Mi Flash but without locking the bootloader again, got an error at the end something regarding checkpoint, but I've ignored that, guess it's fine.

After booting up the phone, all is back on place, sensors, L1, fingerprint and the phone is very very fast again. So happy with it now.

My only question is if there is any risks of keeping the bootloader unlocked? I mean apps like Netflix will still work?

Thank you all for your suggestions and advices in this downgrade process.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
The phone will fail the SafetyNet test, so some financial/banking apps will refuse to work. Not sure about things like Netflix.

Currently Magisk still works to fool the SafetyNet test, but Google have a fix to permanently close the loophole, which is only a matter of time before it is fully rolled out.

If you intend to run MIUI without any modifications (root, removing bloatware, etc.) you may as well re-lock the bootloader.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] servikt:
Unfortunatelly I still had issues with autorotation on MIUI 10.3.1.0.

I've fixed the problem easily but updating via OTA to MIUI 10.4.1.0. This did the trick for me and also keeped L1.

So on MIUI 10.4.1.0 I've tried again with MiFlash to downgrade to MIUI 10.3.1.0 and got again autorotation not working.

Again updating it via OTA to 10.4.1.0 fixed the problem.

So the problem when downgrading didn't seemed to be the android version (9 for boot roms in this case) but the flashing process itself.

Since I liked very much how fast and smooth the scrolling was on 10.3.1.0 I still want to downgrade to this version but don't know how to fix the problem.

With 10.3.1.0 installed I've also tried to reinstall the same version via phone updater zip in hope will fix sensors on this version, but got "sorry, cannot flash to this stable version".

So have to find a way to install it via updater somehow, otherwise I will have to stay on 10.4.1.0 where everythign works for me.

I have a moto e5 plus, that wont let me tether my mobile data to my computer through usb. The setting just stays blank. How do I fix it? Thank you
[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] mikeshutte:
You have to make sure you enable developer options, (tap build number until says unlocked). In developer options enable adb debugging. Then switch your default USB mode to either data transfer or tethering mode. Hope this helps you out.

Hey, I have an old Sony Xperia Tipo running on 4.0.4. Recently its touchscreen stopped working and I cannot access anything stored on the phone. Is there any way to recover Contacts information from it? I've tried everything but couldn't manage it... Is there any way I can access those files trough adb and pull them? the phone doesn't have neither recovery or fastboot. Maybe some exploit would do the trick?

Wich tool?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] bober10113:
its a setting that plays a sound to push water out from the small speaker hole on the side. check in drop down settings or just regular system settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Ryland Johnson:
There are chemicals in a swimming pool that can damage (perish over time) the water RESISTANT membranes. It is unwise to swim with ANY watch that is not a specified divers watch. Research the watch industry code on water resistance and you may be horrified at what you uncover........see chart below.

Watch water resistance

Watches are often classified by watch manufacturers by their degree of water resistance which, due to the absence of official classification standards, roughly translates to the following (1 metre ≈ 3.29 feet).

Water resistance rating	Suitability	Remarks

Water Resistant 3 atm or 30 m	Suitable for everyday use. Splash/rain resistant. Not suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, snorkeling, water related work and fishing.	Not suitable for diving.

Water Resistant 5 atm or 50 m	Suitable for swimming, white water rafting, non-snorkeling water related work, and fishing.	Not suitable for diving.

Water Resistant 10 atm or 100 m	Suitable for recreational surfing, swimming, snorkeling, sailing and water sports.	Not suitable for diving.

Water Resistant 20 atm or 200 m	Suitable for professional marine activity, serious surface water sports and skin diving.	Suitable for skin diving.

Diver's 100 m	Minimum ISO standard (ISO 6425) for scuba diving at depths not suitable for saturation diving.

Diver's 100 m and 150 m watches are generally old(er) watches.

Diver's 200 m or 300 m	Suitable for scuba diving at depths not suitable for saturation diving.	Typical ratings for contemporary diver's watches.

Diver's 300+ m for mixed-gas diving	Suitable for saturation diving (helium enriched environment).	Watches designed for mixed-gas diving will have the DIVER’S WATCH xxx M FOR MIXED-GAS DIVING additional marking to point this out.

Please understand the 'problem' regarding water is not just the depth its the force we can place on a watch. Consider this, if we gently lower a watch with water resistance into a shallow pool all may be well? Now if we start to swim even at surface level we expose same watch to 'force' that is the problem. I am an avid watch collector also techno junkie and NEVER take any watch into a bathroom or expose it to liquid.

NOTHING is water proof, some things are water resistant. Said resistance is a very difficult subject to asses due to pressure from depth also force even at surface level. I advise to act with caution.

Hello everybody!

I'm for quite some time now working on my own turn-based PocketPC game called "PoRoBa". More accurately, it's a game-framework, but whatever. I'm a student and have just access to one PocketPC - my own old MDA III. So, I've not had yet the chance to test it on any other hardware yet. Therefore, here's my plea:

Please go to http://www.poroba.com/ , give the game a spin and tell me your impressions - even if it's just "didn't work". Any comments here or in my shoutbox are highly appreciated!

And since this is a technical forum, some details:

PoRoBa was written completely in C# and relies just on .Net 2.0 and GAPI. Everything from there was exclusively written by me (image-handling, compressions, text-rasterization, ...). And no, there is no sound or music ;)

Thank you,

KoMaXX

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] MadCabbit:
I recently switched carriers to xfinity. I have a unlocked S10+ plus that I flashed to AT&T firmware, so I flashed back to U1 so I could properly switch. It did the carrier reset, and installed the native voicemail app as I configured the phone. I haven't actually gotten voicemail working properly. I can call in and listen to messages, but the phone does not detect new messages outside of the voicemail app, and the app doesn't work. I saw someone mention newer updates were causing problems, so I tried just uninstalling updates, but it appears to have removed the app completely. Is there any way to get it back now? Is there an apk I can install, or am I going to have to reset my device? The Xfinity voicemail app just states its incompatible with my phone and to use the stock voicemail app. Since I'm not even getting regular mail notifications, I have a feeling I'm going to need to talk to Comcast to fix that.

After installing youtube vanced module from magisk, i rebooted the phone and it doesn't rebooted. It got stuck in OEM Unlock Warning screen for a while then automatically shifted to fastboot mode.

Then i flashed the stock boot.img and phone became good to go.

I flashed the stock boot.img patched with magisk. But the phone doesn't get any signal(SIM UNKNOWN) after reboot.

I tried changing magisk and twrp versions also, but it didn't work.

A quick look at the UAG case for the fold

Considering its price tag... Do Not Buy

https://youtu.be/Hh3FxwK9Xk4

thanks for showing this, i had no idea this even existed. i thought the spigen ones were the only ones available.

this is clearly the worst possible case for the fold.

i completely agree with everything said in the video.

[Samsung Galaxy Fold Accessories] Higgins_DE:
Saw this too late I'm afraid. Bought it via Amazon, it came from HK, needed to wait for customs to process (and charge an extra EUR17 or so) to then find out that the magnetic closure of the phone no longer works. Binned it. Shame.

[Samsung Galaxy Fold Accessories] Mike02z:
Worst case out there. I got one and not only does the spine keep it from laying flat but it won't stay closed. What a POS. Getting returned. I usually like UAG cases but this one needs a total redesign.
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Accessories] peter7:
Why do you think the latter one is the better one in terms of the crash
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Accessories] djleez82:
I completely disagree with these opinions.

I bought this case due to an overwhelming fear of any damages or dust to a phone clearly more fragile than a normal one.

I'm right handed, and the hinge cover that protrudes out the back when the fold is opened becomes a great handle to dig my fingers into when holding it with my left hand so my right hand can do all the typing. It can also now be laid on a flat surface and asked upwards to watch a video hands-free.

The bumper protection is solid, the camera bump is well safe and it hasn't blown the size out so that the fold now feels clunky due to too much case.

The price is 30 dollars more than the spigen case, and for a lot of people I understand is prohibitive. But considering what we had to drop on the phone in the first place I wanted maximum protection. And I get it with this case.

However with both this and the spigen case I'm still taking it out once a day and checking for any dust that might get caught inside it and may work it's way into the hinge.

With or without a case there's the chance of foreign objects getting in, and that's no fault of the case design. We accepted this risk by buying a phone of this design and is up to us to be wary of all the issues.

Either way my vote is yes for this case. After a week it's quite solid, allows me to hold the fold a lot safer and I am confident in its protection.
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Accessories] Mike02z:
I knew of the spine issue. If that was the only issue I would have kept it. The deal breaker for me was it would not stay closed. I agree it provides better protection that the Spigen thin armor. For the price, they could have done so much better. I have a UAG on all my other phones that one is available for. This is the only one I could not tolerate.

If it works for some, great! Just does not work for me.
