As an advanced POCO F1 user AIM ROM leaves dust to other NEW ROMS in xda...NO ANDROID 10 rom in this entire xda poco development can manage to get this kind of screen time+performance+stability!

I highly recommend using 4.1 with stock kernel !

Thanks developer for this amazing rom with SLIMRECENTS.

I really tried every rom(99.9%) for poco in the internet for the last year.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] carpeta:
Hello and good evening,

I wanted to buy a new V20 and had found a dealer on eBay who had offered the H918.

In the auction text it said that it would be compatible with all networks/provider, so I bought it. Today the dealer contacted me and said that the H918 would probably only work with a T-mobile SIM (I’m located in Germany, O2 is my provider) but he could offer me the VS995 that would had no problems with all networks.

I didn't find much about the VS995 in terms of network/provider compatibility.

What I have found was contradictory information on the web, one time it says "Yes, only with T-Mobile" somewhere else again "The US996 would be the best choice or then the H918 as a second choice, for both the provider would not matter, would work with everyone ".

Is the H918 really only usable with a T-Mobile SIM or does it only have a T-Mobile branding and also with regard to "rooting" and installing a "Custom ROM", which version should I prefer?

After rooting and installing a custom ROM, is the H918 compatible with all networks?

The H918 seems to support more Bands than the VS995?

I would be grateful for any tip, maybe someone can help me with the dilema and the decision!

Many thanks in advance. ^^
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Landloord:
I'd advise you get the vs995 and don't update, to be on the safe side if you'd want to mod
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] carpeta:
Thanks for the reply Landloord.

I definitely want to root the unit and flash it with a custom firmware.

So far I only had one Android smartphone that I didn't rooted.

My question would be if the H918 would accept any SIM card after the root and custom ROM flash, because the seller told me it would only accept T-mobile SIM cards. I'm asking the questions because I never had an phone that was locked from the facotory to only one provider.

Shouldn't the SIM lock be overwritten after flashing with a custom ROM or am I wrong?!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] C D:
Flashing a custom ROM or different firmware has no effect on the SIM lock status.

The VS995 and US996 models always come SIM-unlocked out of the box, so all you have to worry about those is that the IMEI number is clean/not blacklisted.

The H918 is a bit trickier: If it's SIM-locked, then only SIM cards using the T-Mobile USA network will work. When buying, you have to make sure that the H918 is permanently unlocked (that is done through a special T-Mobile app that connects to a server and not a simple unlock code like you see from many other locked phones). In contrast, you'll want to avoid an H918 that is temporarily unlocked (for people who travel abroad for a while), so in that case, the phone will re-lock to T-Mobile USA after a certain period of time (could be several months).

If LTE band 20 is the main band for your provider, then any of the 3 models you mentioned should work fine. You can see each model's bands on sites such as FrequencyCheck. If there are other LTE bands besides 20 that your provider uses, then I think the various H990 models (H990DS, H990N, H990TR) have the most compatible bands for Europe.

As for root and custom ROMs, the rooting procedure and available ROMs will vary depending on the model you get, so you may want to look around here first to see what your options are. Generally, it does not matter how updated the firmware of the phone is; you can simply downgrade to root for all V20 models except one (the LS997, which doesn't have LTE band 20 anyway).
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] carpeta:
Many thanks for the detailed answer! :good: :D

Then the flashing of another modem would probably not override the SIM lock then either, right? ?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] C D:
Correct. Only the T-Mobile Unlock app can be used to SIM-unlock it, and I think the info on the unlock eligibility/status of any particular H918 phone is stored on whatever T-Mobile USA server that the app connects to. There may be a paid unlock service that can unlock one for you, but I suspect it may be expensive.

I should also mention that the H918 is not compatible with any other model's firmware, which means that if you try to flash any non-H918 firmware onto an H918, then it will permanently brick/kill the phone. Likewise, flashing H918 firmware onto any non-H918 model will brick that phone.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] carpeta:
Thank you very much for all the information C D!

I will look if there are any differences in the included accessories of both models and I guess I have to take the VS995 or look around for another model. ??
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] C D:
No problem. If returning the phone to the seller is easy, then you'll be able to try out the VS995 and see if the signal coverage is OK.

And by the way, the VS995 (as do the US996 and Korean F800K/L/S models) has the FM radio disabled, but if you root it and stay on a stock-based Oreo ROM, you can get the FM radio back.

Anyway, it looks like you still have plenty of options regarding compatible models. And as someone who happens to have grown up in Germany, I'd say you have „die Qual der Wahl“.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Landloord:
You've said it all
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] carpeta:
Ja die Qual der Wahl! :laugh:

I have now told the seller that I don't want either model, I might look for a US996 model.

Thanks again! :good: :D

Which of the models of the V20 is to set in the language of the Netherlands? I have now a VS995 and with this phone it is not possible!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] C D:
The V20 was never officially sold in Europe, so I'm not sure if any model has your language. But you could try one of those language enabler apps that supposedly can add more languages to Android phones. Here's a recent post of someone using such an app to add Mexican Spanish to their Korean LG V50:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] HLR53K:
I have been keeping an eye on the Diamond, as I would like to upgrade to it when it becomes available in the US. Since you guys over in Europe and Asian have been tweaking it, I have two questions.

Has someone posted a YouTube video of how much faster the TF3D UI runs when the tweaks posted here are done? From videos I've seen, the retail stock unit is snappy enough, but there's still a tiny bit of lag.

Another concern I have is that when the virtual keyboard is brought up, it takes up pretty much all of the screen. Has that affected how you guys do texting and e-mailing? I've seen that when the keyboard's displayed while typing in system text fields, it'll cover the field completely and you can't scroll the screen to see what you're typing.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] CarpeNoctum:
Even though I don't have a youtube video for you I 'll tell you that the TF3D runs pretty smoothly after the tweaking but especially if you use one of the cooked roms. I am personally using the "panosha light II ROM" and the TF3D runs more than smoothly without any lag (and FYI this ROM does not include most of the tweaks that are supposed to speed up the device).

Regarding the second question, the included diamond keyboards indeed cover up most of the screen. I can see that being a problem for some but for me personally it isnt' any. In any case you always have the options of adding any throd party keyboards of your own taste and likes.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] HLR53K:
Thanks for the information! Makes me feel a lot more confident in the Diamond now.

Seeing as I won't be able to get to the Diamond until after the New Year, I'll have to see what great new things are cooked up by then.

If anyone else is willing to put up a YouTube video of a cooked or tweaked TF3D, I'd really appreciate it.

[OnePlus 8 Real Life Review] lemon07r:
The curved edges is the only thing putting me off from buying this phone. Would have already ordered one otherwise. Almost bit the bullet and ordered one anyways, thinking maybe I wont hate the curved edges that much, but since you've already done that for us I'd rather just get your impression first. I'm considering getting the OP7T, Realme X2 Pro, Oppo Ace2 or Poco F2 Pro at this point, do you think you would have liked one of these flat display phones more?
[OnePlus 8 Real Life Review] alan sh:
I've got used to the curved edge and don't really notice it any more. Is it better than at 7T? I can't really say, but considering I use my headphones when out and they are really comfy, I'm glad I got the boxed set on day 1.

At the moment, the only irritating thing is the display - the adaptive stuff doesn't really work (too granular) but I have to use it in bright sunlight as it seems to be brighter with it on. But even that is very minor. Battery life is very good. With all my apps loaded and just display off, it loses less that 0.4% each hour. (in 12 hours of not using it, it lost 4%). That's with Wifi and bluetooth turned on and a poor 4G signal.

It's had 3 or 4 O/S upgrades since I bought it. Which is good as it means OnePlus are on the ball. I'm just waiting for Wifi Calling to be enabled in the UK (OnePlus - are you listening here?).

Alan
[OnePlus 8 Real Life Review] shock-UK:
Coming from an OP6, I'm slightly finding it hard to love. Or love as much.

I had the OP5, went to OP6 and I loved the changes.

Now going from the 6 to the 8, not sure I made the right choice!!

Let me explain..

1. The 6 was far easier to hold, the 8 just feels a bit cumbersome compared.

2. The fingerprint sensor on the 6 was amazingly good. On the 8, it's not as accurate, on the wrong side, and at night it's like the flash light coming on. Should have kept it at the back. But I suppose Apple got rid of it so OnePlus had to pretend it got rid of it too.

3. The curved screen is just annoying, as selecting anything on the curved part is bound to fail on the first try.

4. No head phone socket? Just why? Again I suppose Apple got rid of it so OnePlus had to copy.

5. The new sandstone cover isn't as thin, looks a bit budget and rather chunky like the old bumper covers. Without the cover is very slippery and hard to hold.

6. No more notification LED on the 8, Oneplus phones don't have an always on display, so the LED light was a nice feature. Now you get neither.

I'll keep using it, hopefully will get used to it more..
[OnePlus 8 Real Life Review] lemon07r:
That's something I've always wondered.. why use a screen side fingerprint scanner. Backside ones are easier to use, faster and more accurate.
[OnePlus 8 Real Life Review] alan sh:
I don't have any issues with the fingerprint reader where it is. I came from a OP5 so I guess I'm just used to it being there.

Can add LED simulation by default, in pro more flexibility to choose icons of apps as notification and size can be changed. I ended up using LED option though i purchased premium.

It definitely serves the purpose as a notification LED. no issues so far. Battery usage is also less.
[OnePlus 8 Real Life Review] AlDollaz:

[OnePlus 8 Real Life Review] Fishawy:
Hey,

I have a 7T and I'm considering the 8 for the 5G, the 12 GB of RAM, the great battery life, and the slightly lighter weight, but the curved edge can be turn-off, and of course the 8 Pro is heavier and more expensive.

What are your thoughts on the 8 after almost a year? Are you rocking a case? Would you make that switch from a 7T if you had it?
[OnePlus 8 Real Life Review] alan sh:
No, I wouldn't switch. I don't think it's enough of a leap. To be honest, my OP5 was nice enough apart from the camera and the GPS, both of which were substandard. I think the 7T is plenty good enough. I have only ever had a 5G signal once since I got it and 4G seems to be fine.

In case anyone views this thread and wonders what I was wondering when I saw it, which is: "What the hell is the difference between DDR4 & DDR4X?"

DDR4X has a higher maximum clock speed at 4266 Mbps (DDR4 maxes out at 3200Mbps) aka your phone feels faster as the instructions stored in RAM are more rapidly accessed

Lower power consumption, a rather dramatic reduction from 1.12V in the case of DDR4 with DDR4x operating with only 0.61V of power, which translates into longer battery life under load.

I have had this phone for a few days now, and this has been my biggest complaint. Playing more demanding games like COD mobile or genshin impact causes the system to get very warm to the touch. The system doesn't get to the point of heavy thermal throttling or overheating, but it does get uncomfortable to hold for extended periods. First flagship-specced device in a couple of years, so maybe it is just my ignorance on the topic, but it is a bit concerning for the lifespan of the components.

Hi all,

i just tried an ROM update on my diamond and ended up with a probably burned diamond.

I tried to updated to "Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex" and then to Elite 2.0.

First the Hard-SPL updated didn't work an stoped at 1%.

As i figgured out i had to start the update tool as administrator under my Windows Vista.

The diamond now starts and shows the following screen:

1. A Water like Picture

2. The Text "Xda diamond" in the bottom left corner

3. The Text (in red characters)

R 1.00.25.03

G 52.26a.25.09

D 1.37.00.00

4. The Character "H" (in red) next to the "Xda diamond" Text

The Diamond stops here and does nothing.

I can get to the three colors screen by pressing Vol Down and Reset.

I also tried a hard reset which worked, but i ended up at the same screen and the diamond does nothing and just stops there.

Have i completely damaged my Diamond? (I hope not, would be a nightmare to me)

I will be very grateful for any kind of help on this!

Thanks in advance!
