[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] kevtrysmoddin:
I've made the same jump and had my 4 XL for a few days and it's a very nice upgrade without being a massive jump away from what I'm used to, the camera is great the phone is much nicer in the hand can't say to much about battery yet but I'm not disappointed with it

P4 user here. 90 hz is actually amazing. Cannot imagine to go back.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Prey521:
The 4a is a downgrade from the 4 XL, and with the 4 XL being $300 off, it's a no brainer to get the 4 XL now.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] dutch_in_seattle:
Also, don't forget channels such as Craig's List or OfferUp. You can find great deals there. I bought a brand-new 128-GB Pixel 4 XL on OfferUp for $400. Awesome deal. The best deals are from people who got something as a present or won it, because they have no financial stake in it; to them, whatever money they get is 'profit'. In fact, I buy all my electronics on Craig's List or OfferUp, oftentimes brand-new in box and otherwise like-new.

If you can get a good deal on the 4 XL now, I'd get it. It's a great phone providing a great user experience. Awesome camera, 90 Hz refresh is smooth, face unlock is super-fast and accurate (don't miss the 3 XL's fingerprint scanner at all). All around great phone that focuses on usability, not just specs.

As opposed to the Galaxy S10+, which has inferior cameras that overprocess and oversaturate photos and has blurring issues with moving subjects (because it's slow focusing), and with a terrible in-screen fingerprint scanner. Photos taken on my Pixel *always* turn out great, whereas it's hit or miss with the Galaxy S10+. I thought I'd really miss the ultrawide camera on the Galaxy S10+, but I don't, really. The consistently great shots on my Pixel 4 XL more than make up for that. Specs aren't everything---it's the total experience that matters, and in my view Pixel kills it here.

Face unlock on my Pixel 4 XL works flawlessly. It's so fast you sometimes forget it's actually working. It's not until you're out and about with a face mask on that you realize it's actually doing its job because it doesn't recognize you then (understandably, of course).

I haven't had any issues in terms of battery life. Yes, the Pixel 4 XL perhaps doesn't last as long in battery-drain-to-zero contests, but that's not terribly realistic in everyday use. I can easily make it through the day, and I'm always close enough to a charger (in the car, for example) to top up the phone if I have to. The supposed horrible battery life has never been an issue for me.

In short, get the Pixel 4 XL if you can find a good deal on it. You won't regret it!

[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Questions & Answers] KeepaD:
I don't know if I'm the first Max Pro M2 user to break his gorilla glass 6 screen?

I would like to ask the community how best to go about this problem.

I wouldn' t mind going the DIY route since the warranty has lapsed and I'm okay with replacing the screen myself, I have all the tools with me.

But where do I source the screen separately and are there genuine manufacturers who sell them separately in India? (I live in Bangalore, so any leads would be appreciated, maybe post lockdown rules are lifted I can order them on amazon or something)

Going with the service center, what would the approximate cost of the screen replacement?
[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Questions & Answers] Anubhav_singh:
I would prefer DIY or get it done by a local shop once you get the parts delivered. As service center would demand for 6-7 k for the replacement.

[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) ROMs, Ke] TheMalachite:
Introduction

This is a LineageOS Recovery compiled from the source tree of LineageOS 17.1 for Redmi Note 9S / 9 Pro.[/STRIKE] While the recovery has been usable for quite some time now, since it is not possible for TWRP to support any device launched with Android 10 for now.

I am aware that there is a TWRP port for this device, but since the source code is not accessible (as for as I can tell, maybe I just did not look hard enough for the source code), I can only advice against using it. The official TWRP open-sourced under GPLv3 does not even support devices launched with Android 10 yet, so there's clearly something going on here. I do not fix compatibility issues between my ROM and that TWRP port.

Instructions (Installing Recovery)

1. Download recovery-XXXX.zip (extract to get recovery.img and vbmeta.img)

2. Reboot to bootloader (`adb reboot bootloader`)

3. Run `fastboot --disable-verification --disable-verity flash vbmeta vbmeta.img`

4. Run `fastboot flash recovery recovery.img`

5. Run `fastboot reboot recovery` to enter LineageOS Recovery

Instructions (Installing Magisk)

You have to use the official Magisk, version 20.4 or later. Installing an older Magisk will make the system unbootable.

1. Download Magisk >= 20.4, put onto computer

2. Reboot to LineageOS recovery, select `Mount /system` (you may see some errors, but they can be safely ignored)

3. Select `Apply update from ADB`

4. Run `adb sideload Magisk-xxx.zip`

5. You will see a signature verification error, select `Yes` to bypass the check

6. Reboot to system to enjoy your Magisk installation.

Caveats

1. Since it's not TWRP, you cannot decrypt your /data in recovery for now, which means no data backup or recovery, and you cannot install on-device flashable zips through this recovery.

2. Since it's not TWRP, it cannot prevent your OS from overwriting recovery automatically. If you use official ROM, you may need to manually re-flash the recovery every time. I'm not sure whether this can be bypassed with some Magisk module.

3. Don't expect to be able to flash anything into /system (e.g. OpenGAPPS or magisk) on stock ROMs

4. When trying to install OpenGAPPS on custom roms, it will get stuck at the end of the flashing process. This does not affect the functionality of the installed system and gapps, and a force-reboot into system will work just fine.

5. You need to always click "Mount /system" before flashing any mods into the system (i.e. Magisk, OpenGapps, etc., ROMs themselves are not affected), otherwise they will fail to install. (Clicking the option does not actually mount /system; it just sets up necessary mappings from the super partition to each of the dynamic partitions so that the installation scripts will work)

I tried out many custom roms for the RN7, but I always have the same problem: Snapchat photos and videos looking absolutely horrendous, especially the selfie camera.

The photos taken with the stock rom in comparison do look acceptable.

Is there any fix that will cause Snapchat to behave the same way on custom roms than it does on stock?

I want to get a v40 to replace my Redmi Note 7

I use T-Mobile but know not to get the T-Mobile v40. So I was curious if it would be better for me to get a different one and unlock it or what should I do?

Any advice would be great because I don't want to put my self in a pickle where I have a nice paperweight
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] NGOwner:
No need to get a TMo version.

A cross flashed Sprint V405UA to LG v405QA will work on TMo and get all TMo bands, plus TMo VoLTE and TMo VoWi-FI and TMo HD Voice. I know because that's the model I bought, cross flashed, and use on TMo.

I see no reason why a cross flashed Verizon or ATT wouldn't be equally good. But I can't speak there from personal experience.

But there's no cross-flashing possible on a TMo version. Once TMo, always TMo.

I saw you in some other posts and I was hoping to get you to respond to this. Thank you. I'll have to keep my eye out to see if I can find a sprint one. I like my redmi note 7, but there are many features that I want that it just simply doesn't have. But are there any other weird quirks I should know? Again, thank you.
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] NGOwner:
Thanks for kind words. I seem to have a bit more time on my hands now ... I wonder why .... :D

The only weird quirks I think are worth mentioning is that it is not easy to root and install TWRP. Several have had issues doing so. It can be done, I and others are living proof, but it's not for the fainthearted. You'll have to bounce back and forth between several threads to get it right. There's no one comprehensive guide. If you're not looking to go that route, there really are no quirks.

As for sourcing one, I picked up mine, a mint condition device, off of eBay for $145. A steal for a phone of this caliber. They seemed to have upped the price in the meantime.

[NG]Owner
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] NoburtM:
Troubles with getting TWRP working don't bother me. I don't mind that. I love messing with things a little too much. Also, with that link that you sent, although the listing said you can't use third party software to unlock it, you still can. Correct? (Well the listing you sent said that it was sprint only, but not specifically unlocked. But it showed me a similar one that is $170 that says it's sprint locked)(also that because it technically isn't software that you're using to unlock the device.)

And I do wonder why you would have more free time on your hand, I could never tell why... ;)
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] NGOwner:
In many cases, these eBay vendors have no idea what they are selling or what "tethers" come with which phones. See here's the thing. If the device is paid off, it can't/shouldn't be carrier locked. You own it free and clear, and should be able to put it on any carrier with which the phone is compatible.

From reading these forums, I knew I could convert (cross-flash) a v405UA (Sprint) device over to a v405QA (US version) which would enable more bands (that I needed/wanted for my eventual migration to TMo). And if the device in that listing was somehow actually carrier locked to Sprint, I knew I could get Sprint to unlock it. I had Sprint, I knew I was going to use the v40 for a while on Sprint, so I could easily verify its carrier unlocked-ness, and could correct it if needed.

But I didn't need to. The v405ua (which was originally attached to Sprint at some time in the past by a different customer) came to me carrier unlocked. Three weeks later, I had that same device, crossflashed, rooted, with TWRP, on TMo happily making use of the extra TMo bands, VoLTE and VoWi-Fi, and HDVoice (none of which a non-crossflashed v405UA could).

[NG]Owner
[LG V40 Questions & Answers] NoburtM:
Ok, so if it isn't paid off then the seller is selling a bad phone, and they should list that in the description.

I'll buy the $170 mint condition v40 because it's a good price for the phone, and I'll have something to mess with. Thank you, again. I appreciate all the help.

It'll be nice to have a nicer phone again. I loved my S8 before I broke the screen, and after I had modded it.

"EngineeringMode"

So did you already go into "EngineeringMode" to supposedly test all hardware? (i say supposedly since who knows for sure if these tests actually are accurate or not but i assume if you get an error or faulty code this will be ultimate proof to show realme) To go into this mode, you have to go into your phones dialer pad and enter: *#899#

fyi, the issue with my phone is that when i initiate a call(either by someone calling me or me calling someone) the bottom mic(main mic) does not work. I have to go into speaker mode and then switch back to handset mode for the bottom mic to work - and in case you care, i also have a handset speaker problem, the top speaker is very dam loud even at the lowest setting. This looks to me is more of a software problem than hardware or combination of both, since i already tested the mic many times in EMode but skeptical in the results - per my statement above.

I guess my answer above is not really an answer to your question, rather is just informative. GL
