[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] forever_lol:
Possibility to unlock bl is limited to regional releases in case of LG or Samsung. Lastly i check there was no way to unlock bl on lg g8 (flagship 2019). LG update policy is the most stupid ive ever experienced. Regarding galaxy s serie - there are still regional variants (eg american carrier branded) where unlocking bl is not available.

As for the perks you mentioned... I am afraid not of them are available / fully working today. I am not a gamer so only adblock is sth really useful to me, but it's not a deal breaker.

Couple of years ago root meant sth. Gave you freedom and didn't bring any negative consequences. It's no longer the case. I think root scene will be dead within couple of years.

It's a shame that htc is dead. Their flagships were equipped with top notch hw and devs support was among the best on xda.

Unlock bootloader on samsung : Knox ****s the entire phone up

Unlock bootloader on lg : impossible on some phone variants

What i was talking about is that all companies like to copy eachother, no matter how small or big it is. Take a note with the disappearance of the headphone jack : Apple did it first and then everybody did it too. Huawei got the in display fingerprint scanner and reverse wireless charging : Samsung copies it.

Now with emui 10, Google can as well block the unlock command because then companies will copy this "feature".

Actually, since the iphone 11 pro release, Apple caught up with the competition of flagship devices.

I understand you regarding oneplus being a good comapany that allows bootloader unlocking. But the thing is : you unlock it you loose some important daily driver features like banking apps (which i use). Oneplus, by the looks of it, did it so well with the speed and optimization, however i'm not sure how well they did it with ram management. Either way, when it comes to overall support and less headaches, Apple does it better. "it just works!"

Still, let's see what 2020 brings up. Huawei might redeem themselves this time. If not, then say goodbye because i don't give more chances.

---------- Post added at 09:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 AM ----------

Unfortunately, the root community is pretty much dying since summer 2019 (imo). Most rooting apps can be used with adb (like appops and shizuku). Either way, like i said, i won't be surprised if Google blocks unlocking in the adb command.

Also, Huawei can root their phones using service mode, but nobody has access to their service software, yet.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
I think we will disagree on this. I cannot remember everything I use root for, but things do pop up from time to time.

It's just easier with root.

Android will always have root and if not then it's the end of android, i really wouldn't bother anymore.

What I mentioned still works btw, and yes you do trust the efuse chip on some devices, but so what, it's worth it.

Losing a banking app? You use it yes but that's you lol, I would trade that off for root.

Apple is still a closed eco system and always will be I honestly cannot see android ever being that way, if it is then bye bye android.

This is my opinion and it's staying that way lads, sorry but that's me.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] purple patch:
If Google completely killed rooting, ppl will still buy them. XDA rooting is a niche market now days. Rooting, custom ROMs etc was fun while it lasted. I still love android eco system, way superior to iDevices. iPhones can be jailbroken too, not as closed as you might think.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Quite a defeatist attitude of you. ask me, jailbreak didn't work on the latest OS, it's cat and mouse, not the same thing as root, not the same OS, your comparing oranges and apples.

Google won't do that, not being naive either, time will tell. I didn't think unlocked multipliers on CPUs would still be around today, yet here we are with a dedicated line for both AMD and Intel, GPU had now followed suit as had RAM.

Google isn't dead, they're just getting started, closing off a massive part of what made them famous in the first place isn't something they're going to embrace, that's the likes of Huaweis job.

Time will tell, right now it's open and there's nothing to suggest otherwise, besides the backlash should it happen.

If it did happen I would have no hesitation to buy apple, at that point android would have lost their ace up their sleeve, because I'm a small minority who thinks that doesnt mean I'm wrong, not wanting to follow the masses is a good thing, and going by Google's hiring techniques they'd agree.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Pretoriano80:
That's granted. Modding it's not what it used to be, security and unlocking (rooting, modding, etc) can't live together.

And yes, XDA users are maybe a 2-3% of the global users base, especially when we speak about brands as Huawei and Samsung. Average customer doesn't even know what root, Magisk or such stuff are.

Personally i saw this coming ( modding slowly disappearing) a few years ago and is already happening, we just have to look back at what modding was and where is heading now.

I still think that OEMs should leave the bootloader unlocking at users discretion and let them decide what to do with the device that they paid for... but freedom and privacy are a luxury nowadays.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] forever_lol:
Completely agree with the above. Speaking about fading activity on xda not even pixel 4xl or op 7t pro has fully working twrp today.

Jailbreak is dead, that's pretty much true.

Google hasn't closed root possibilities yet but the fact how they try to discourage users from unlocking bootloaders and root (breaking apps functionalities like netflix or gpay) makes me bit pessimistic about its future. I have no faith in Google whatsoever. We may belive modding will be dead or not. Still it doesn't change the fact that "masses" would most likely not even notice that, cos they simply do not care about it. Manufacturers on the other hand follow masses and they try to sell their products to masses.

I definitely don't want to buy locked down device. I will most probably still go for android as iOS is not my cup of tea. I was an iPhone 7 user for a year before i gave it to my wife. Bl unlock possibility is still important to me but accepting the fact that golden era of root is over is a bitter pill to swallow.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] purple patch:
I agree with comments above. I feel like so many people miss the point why manufacturers including google try to close bootloaders or root. iPhones can still be Jailbroken, Android can still be rooted. It's just not a simple 2 click, spoon fed operation anymore. Hardware and software can and always will have exploits as quick as it's fixed.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Thing is the people on XDA / villain are not what make up the masses, we are the 1% someone who mods their phone has sway over a lot of people decision's, if you modify your device. How many people have seen it and thought it was cool, quite a few for me.

Removing it also means we wouldn't recommend it 9 times out of 10, my wife's old S5 would have been useless not long ago, I unlocked it and rooted it. Flashed an OS that stands up today, good speed and reliability, hence I'd only recommend a device that can be unlocked.

Personally hope it remains the way it is or makes a comeback in a big way, I wouldn't bother with android otherwise, personally don't care about the masses I like things my way which is what android is meant to be about.

Either way, I'm not sure how much influence we'd have as a community, time will tell.

Regarding multitasking, had the same issue with a huawei phone. Turns out you can turn off the optimization by manually managing how apps launch/run in background. In EMUI the setting is called app launch.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Daydream605:
Imo the whole point of a root access is so you can have good hardware at a reasonable price and the software excatly how you like it.

Dont like 3rd party and bloatware apps using any resources?

Want to monitor your network traffic properly?

Want to be able to turn your phone into a pratical usable computer?

Want to map virtual buttons to the screen and use your existing game controllers?

Running macro scripts.

Higher video bitrates and photo quality including features that may not usually be enabled

Better device performance and battery life

Real incognito mode.

Advanced network routing, dns and vpn services.

More display options changing dpi, resolution, refresh rate.

Real ultra powersaving modes

Cpu clock profiles undervolting or overclocking

Gpu clock profiles

Audio quality improvements and EQ 12 band with none of that extra gimmicky **** that oems use... Looking at you huawei.

Prevent apps from detetcing root.

Point is, some people use their phones just for things like watching youtube or textint calling and casual browsing

Some are gamers, programmers, visual artists, media enthuastics, whatever the case may be everybody can benefity from root. And it also enables the users to have full control over the device they purchased and use as they see fit, disabling users access to their own phones will only warrent suspicions and enable OEM to run code that users cannot monitor.

TLDR removing user access is a bad idea

I managed to install TWRP on my p20 pro emui 9.1.0.328

Without permanent bootloader unlock.

Did use latest twrp from website and latest magisk but did not get root. I did see another thread about root and 9.1.0.328 but have not tester yet.

Did use hcu client

1) fastboot / xloader (hisilicon only)

2) connect testpoint and insert usb cable

3) select CPU or loader ( did test difrent but did use this Kirin970_T2_A8.0_v3)

4) press Read phone info

5) download latest twrp and place in hcu client folder

6) open Windows terminal go to hcu client folder

7) fastboot flash erecovery_ramdisk twrp.img

8) fastboot reboot (press vol+ and power on phone att same time)

9) Keep pressing buttons untill twrp starts

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Saravanashines:
Today Morning, water fell on My Galaxy Note 10 Plus device, i wiped it with the towel but somehow forget about the S Pen area. In afternoon for writing, i took the

S Pen and found that, the port and S Pen was covered with water fully (so far more than 5 hours, water was inside the S Pen Hole and S Pen). I have wiped S Pen using Tissue Paper and shook the phone (I dont know a better word for this) for taking the water out. Now following is my question:

Im aware that its not advised for Salt Water - https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/what-is/ip68/

1. Is Note 10 Plus - Water Resistant or Water Proof ?

2. Is Note 10 Plus's S Pen is - Water Resistant or Water Proof ?

3. How to drain the water from S Pen Hole ?

4. Even if it works fine for now, will it cause any problem in future ?

5. I currently dont have a Tempered Glass, using the scratch card provided by the Phone while purchasing. There are lots of scratch in the scratch guard now. If using S Pen, will it damage the S Pen Tip and its sensitivity ?

I also created this thread for more reference for others in future.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] willhemmens:
1. Is Note 10 Plus - Water Resistant or Water Proof ? As per the link you posted it is IP68 - Very much water resistant

2. Is Note 10 Plus's S Pen is - Water Resistant or Water Proof ? S Pen is Water resistant. Anything with openings for things like buttons will be water resistant - https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01001521/

3. How to drain the water from S Pen Hole ? I would blow out the water with tube from the top and then just let it air dry, it is completely sealed afaik

4. Even if it works fine for now, will it cause any problem in future ? Very unlikely imo

5. I currently dont have a Tempered Glass, using the scratch card provided by the Phone while purchasing. There are lots of scratch in the scratch guard now. If using S Pen, will it damage the S Pen Tip and its sensitivity ? - The stock plastic film was nothing more than that, it felt like packaging to me so I took it off immediately. It being scratched probably won't damage the tip, it is pretty hard plastic and you should have spares anyway.

Hi there,

I am looking to add PAN bluetooth service to my Fire 7", (9th). It is rooted. It is on FireOS 6.3.1.4 which is (afaik) based on Android 7.1.

The stock bluetooth process (packages/apps/Bluetooth) in FireOS seems to be missing the PAN service. I can see in the logs the following error:

I assume that the bluetooth stack and HAL are complete in FireOS and it is just a matter of replacing the bluetooth process with one that implements PAN service? Is there a way to verify that?

Has anyone attempted something like this? Where would I find sources for the Bluetooth process and info for it?

Thanks
[Fire General] DB126:
I would not assume that. Amazon has a habit of leaving/stripping out core Android components that aren't used by FireOS. TTBOMK Amazon has not published source for the build of FireOS used on 9th gen devices.

Might reach out to [MENTION=8165603]DragonFire1024[/MENTION]. He's been through the framework a few times on older builds and may be able to share a few tips.
[Fire General] gregd72002:
So I went ahead to just try it out. Compiled my new Bluetooth package but I'm struggling with permissions during install. I can get most of the permissions granted if I place the package in /system/priv-app/ but not these:

Is there a way to bypass the checks?
[Fire General] DB126:
Well, it wouldn't be much of a permissions system if security checks could be easily bypassed. I'm sure there's a whacky hackaround but that's out of my wheelhouse.

Every device I've tried with my note 10 has had awful bluetooth crackle unless I really turn down the volume. For some devices (car etc) this is fine, but for something like headphones they become unusable, either being too quiet or sounding awful.

Anyone run into this problem, or have a fix for it? I'm going to try factory resetting the phone and if that doesn't work I will get rid of it and buy something else.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] h8Aramex:

Check Developer Options, as far as I know you can specify like codecs and whatnot. You might have to set that on your car.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] revthanki:
Figured it out. The crackle for me happens when I'm connected to a weak 2.4GHz WiFi access point. Connecting to a 5GHz WiFi or a strong 2.4GHz signal solves the problem completely

It's co channel interference between WiFi and Bluetooth. Hopefully Xiaomi can make some improvements in updates (changing modulation, etc)
