[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] LeHalua:
I am planning to buy a phone but on a tight budget. Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro seems to be a good choice, but its almost a year old. So is this phone still a good choice, or has it become obsolete by some other device? Another choice would be Realme 3 Pro, which is slightly newer, but I'm not sure its on par with Redmi Note 7 Pro.

P.S. Can I play PUBG with HDR setting on this device? What's the highest PUBG graphics setting you have been able to play comfortably on this device?

P.P.S. Is there a fully functional Google Cam mod availble for Redmi Note 7 Pro?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro Questions & Answers] dark3578:
The thing with Xiaomi is that they release a new phone every month (35 total phones in 2019) and their phones get cheaper every time a new one is released. For example i bought the 7 Pro for 275$, a month later after it was 250$, and now its 180$.

The phone was overhyped and overpriced because the main selling point of the phone was the camera which is just fine, as 80% of other phones.

What I'm trying to say is that the Note 7 Pro was "OK" for like 1 month, then a new device came out with better specs and the same price. Its still a nice phone but then again even cheaper phones are good nowadays.

If you have the money go for a Note 8 Pro, or K30...or hell even a Poccophone is way better and cheaper

Hello!

I just did a backup of my sms and it get into files named "Messages" and the question is where should I put them after I have done a Hard reset?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ekw:
Anywhere you want thats not on device memory, i.e. safe locations like computer, or maybe google :D.

SD card is normally a safe place to store it too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Krippe:
Ah ofc heh;) But where to put the file when I have reset my phone?

So I can get all my messages in the phone again :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ekw:
Well its much easier to use a program for that, such as PIMbackup

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=299705

it will output a backup file on ur choice of directory, then u can just double click the backup file and it will load everything back onto the device in their designated location!

have fun

Hi Guys,

My RN5Pro was suddenly rebooted and from then It is rebooting continuously no matter which rom i flash. Tried clean flash. Tried the latest orange fox stable version but no use.

Any help?

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] laxsmi:
Hello,

I have a Redmi Note 8 pro (China version). I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the Global ROM. Unfortunately, the phone didn't reboot and it is now stuck with message "this ROM can't be installed on this device".

I realized afterwards that many other users had the same problem. Now it is impossible to flash the chinese Rom again (I get the CRCLIST flash error).

I believe my only option now is to re-flash the China stock ROM using the EDL method and an authorized Xiaomi Account. Can anyone help me do that?

If anybody has other suggestions, that would be really helpul.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] idog8818:
You may flashed lower version of miui. If you can enter into fastboot mode, flash with latest China miui, then install TWRP, then use TWRP to flash global rom. I used twrp here and it works for my china phone, now im on global rom.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] MarkLev:
Just my 2 cents:

1. Always flash stock ROM via fastboot. ALWAYS use option "clean all". NEVER use option "clean all and lock"

2. Make sure the ROM's folder path is not containing space characters. Several stupid errors can come from this.

Ex: C:/this_is_the_rom_path

3. Use USB2.0 port from your PC. Better plug the device into USB2.0 rear port.

I couldn't make any of my USB front ports to work. Only the USB2.0 rear port.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] laxsmi:
Unfortunately I believe that's precisely the mistake I made... Now the bootloader is locked again and I cannot unlock another time because I have no access to the phone. Mi Unlock Tool says "please add your account in developer options > Mi Unlock Status".
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] petenoni:
What happens next then?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] laxsmi:
Nothing, I cannot unlock the bootloader, cannot flash anything, and cannot boot the phone. I'm stuck here :/
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] laxsmi:
Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I believe the bootloader is locked again now. I can put the phone in fastboot mode, but I cannot flash anything (not allowed in locked state).

If anyone knows how to flash with EDL method... But of course we would need an authorized account to do that.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] zOOk1981:
You have to wait untill "lock timer" expires , unlock BL again and flash stock ...
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] laxsmi:
That's not possible, the phone has no Mi account attached to it... And how can I add an account to the phone when it doesn't boot?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] idog8818:
I remember mi unlock tool will work in fastboot mode. I recommend you to use mi unlock tool which you used first time to try in fastboot mode. It may say: you need to wait xxx hours, then you have to wait. Or it may unlock directly like first time. Since you unlocked first time, it will be bounded into your Mi account already.

If you have fastboot mode available, do NOT too worried, more likely to you have it back. using SP Flash tool with paid auth account is last step.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RickoT:
:)So,

With a bit (more like a ton) of help from the Flashing Junkies post from Sleuth I have managed to completely setup my phone to do EVERYTHING I typically do before I start using it. My provisioning does all of the following

Installs apps

Sets up my buttons

Customizes my start menu

Changes all the config changes I make with Advance Config

And a whole bunch of other stuff, which I will share with everyone once I have everything set up... there are only a couple of things I need help with right now that i am hoping some of the WONDEFULLY AWESOME EXPERTS we have here can help me out with.

1. How can I disable ALL of the today plugins in a rom so I can enable only the ones that I want.

2. How can I set the Media Net network as the default for internet (See my attached XML file for how im setting these up, it looks right but it just doesnt work)

3. How can I setup e-mail so that it will NOT delete off the server when I delete messages.

I've attached my XML files for creating the network and grps setup as well as my e-mail account... but I cannot figure out why the network stuff doesnt work properly and why there is no setting in the xml file to not delete stuff off the server

I run the network connections in the order of Network > GPRS > then Planner

That should be the right order and im 99% sure my settings are right

I hope someone can help me!

Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RickoT:
ba dump da bump bump...

any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MrDSL:
I wish I could help you with that stuff..Heck I just got my exchange server and wifi in a cab finally.

I hope you will share your xml file for changing alll your settings etc that you have so I can look at it and make my own.. thats awesome

good luck!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RickoT:
I most certianly will... being an annoying perfectionist, I want to get everything setup 100% before I post all the stuff I did, I will be honest the XML is quite easy (although I have a programming back ground) I went from not knowing ANYTHING about XML or provisioning my device to knowing how to do this stuff blind folded.

As soon as I work out these few quirks, I will be writing up a nice little n00b tutorial on how to do this. with a bunch of links I used to set everything up. I just want to work out these few issues first and finish the few customization items I have left!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joshkoss:
Interesting subject

Cool, Gotta check this out!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dgaud007:
I'm not an expert but I set up my today plugins like this:

<!-- Resco Today Plugin -->

<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Resco Today Plugin">

<parm name="Enabled" value="1" datatype="integer"/>

<parm name="Options" value="1" datatype="integer"/>

<parm name="Selectability" value="2" datatype="integer"/>

<parm name="Type" value="5" datatype="integer"/>

<parm name="Order" value="5" datatype="integer"/>

</characteristic>

<!-- HTC Home -->

<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Home">

<parm name="Enabled" value="1" datatype="integer"/>

<parm name="Options" value="0" datatype="integer"/>

<parm name="Selectability" value="2" datatype="integer"/>

<parm name="Type" value="5" datatype="integer"/>

<parm name="Order" value="0" datatype="integer"/>

</characteristic>

My guess is used the ENABLED parameter to disable the ones you don't want.

By the way...I've been trying for ages to disable the sounds & events for notifications and it still doesn't work:mad:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RickoT:
Yah, I saw that reg setting to enable them, but not every rom has all the same plugins installed and enabled when you first hard reset it... so I want to be able to universally say "Disable everything" then go in and turn on just the ones I want...

Oh yah! i havent even thought about setting notifications yet!

(except my ring tone and ring script)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RickoT:
Ok,

So after digging around and reading a lot on MSDN, I found no way to disable all plugins on the today screen. I also discovered that XML provisioning does not like certian kinds of characters even if you use HTML coding

so... that being said, allow me to introduce my first (and very basic) application to the XDA forums.

TodayDisabler.

What it does is it opens the protected registry keys that control what items appear on the today screen and sets them all to enable = 0

I purposefully wrote this app with no interface so that you can use it in your provisioning to disable all items on your today screen no matter what items are currently enabled.

How To Use:

Place the item on your storage card wherever you want

Use the XML: or CPY1:/CPY2: (SDCondig.txt) commands to copy the file to a location without spaces (maybe \windows)

Use the EXEC: (SDCondig.txt) command to launch the file

I would recomend using XML to delete the file afterwards so its not wasting space on your device (a whopping 9k) or maybe so you dont run it accidentally and disable all of your plugins

Now that all of your plugins are disabled, you can use WAP provisioning, CAB files, or reg files to enable just the ones you want!

I know I am still reletively new compared to others. so if any of you are a bit unsure about running any of my app, I would be more than happy to post the source code to this application

So confused now. Is anybody got 128Gb from alieezpress with Band 20 pls.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Jake.S:
Official 128GB Asus Rog phone 2 does not come with band 20. Only band 18. If you want band 20 you have to buy the 512GB one.

If you mean band support for tencent version 128GB then it won't support band 20. But there is a global 128GB version for international countries that one has band 20.

You can see picture bellow.

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] HomerSp:
The Strix edition comes in the prism box too, so that Aliexpress item would most likely be that looking at the price. I've seen conflicting reports from different shops of whether the strix edition supports band 20, but on the ASUS eshop it's not listed so it most likely won't have it unfortunately.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Rodders_28:
I bought my 128gig from Asus direct. Came in prism box. Assumed it covered all bands, perhaps it doesn't then, which is why my 4g at work is no good?

Is there any way to confirm?

FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 26, 28, 29, 32, 66)

TD-LTE (Bands 34, 38, 39, 40, 41, 46)

So guess I'm good
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] HomerSp:
On the Swedish Asus eshop it says:

FDD-LTE (band 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 28)

TD-LTE (band 34, 38, 39, 40, 41)

So I have no idea what's accurate. I sent them a message about it, but haven't heard back yet.

If you're rooted you can use the Network signal guru app to check what bands the hardware supports. I'm not aware of any way to check this without root though. Maybe it's listed on the box?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] croul:
You can install app "Net monster" and check what band is connected actually.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Rodders_28:
I've not seen me connected to band 20 yet, I'll have to keep any eye out

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] croul:
I'm UK Vodafone as well. Already returned Tencent version because everwhere outside big towns Vodafone using only 800 MHz. Over 90% of time was only H+

With this app "Netmonster" outside the city You can check band 20 (800)
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Rodders_28:
Today I noticed I was on band 7 when out and about.

I need to check at work outside what band it is, but I can't get it inside the building. My old phone and everyone else gets 4g, I get H+
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] croul:
So wird. Looks like Your phone don't have B20 what in Vodafone is nightmare. In phone with B20 LTE coverage is on about 99% places even inside buildings. Definitely You need contact with Asus to find what's going on. Direct from Asus should be full working in all UK networks.

On back of phone You got Tencent Games or Republic of Gamers??
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Rodders_28:
Republic of gamers.

The building I'm in isn't great for 4g, only Vodafone and O2 work in here. You'd think EE would, but it doesn't.

But based in the fact other people on vodafone do, and my old Sony did, I would have thought mine would!

I just put it down to they spent too much time on making the WiFi good, they forgot 4g!

Thought about getting a new SIM card, as read that can help?

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 AM ----------

Just went outside, 4g+ band 1 - towers right by us.

Inside H+ on a tower much further away!?

Doesn't make sense

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] DzenanDJ:
Hey guys.

I bought my phone from AT&T retail shop in the US last year. But unfortunately I had to move back to my home country. Ever since the August 2019 Security Patch, I have yet to get any update. The AT&T website indicates that my phone is due to get an update in December 2019 but I have yet to get it.

Is there a way I can resolve this. Whenever I check for updates, it indicates that my phone is up to date. This happens also when I use Smart Switch application.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] StoneyJSG:
August? You are like 4 or 5 updates behind! Android 10 is out for the S10 now. You're probably going to have to flash the latest firmware using the patched version of Odin floating around the forum here.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] DzenanDJ:
Unfortunately since August. But thank you for this insight..I have been searching for days on what I should do. Though I would like to know when I do flash using Odin, will I start getting updates or do I need to update manually every time.

Also if there is any other way of solving this problem without having to flash my phone I am willing to give it a shot.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] StoneyJSG:
Flash whenever you want, but it will reset your phone unless CSC_home is used. You might get updates after flashing with Odin as long as your SIM card matches the firmware (i.e. T-mobile firmware and SIM), but then again you might be stuck using Odin to update every time.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Darkat70:
Certainly Huawei do have very good camera's and maybe a few features.

However there's big issues with updates.

After owning a Mate20Pro for a while, carrier updates were very very slow, it took my carrier 5 months to push out the second update. Sure there is a few ways to manually update without bootloader unlock or root, but these are tediously annoying processes, in most cases meaning a complete wipe of the phone.

And then you have the future of updates being released at all if the Huawei/Trump Ban keeps going.

So I guess its a matter of do you want updated or outdated firmware?

Do you want the availability of Google Apps in the future?

For me the I prefer the thought of having latest bug fixes and security updates maybe a few extra improvements.

With Huawei its a game of Russian Roulette.
