[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
The main reason for hard bricks is when flashing a ROM for a different region than the phone and forgetting to change the flash option in the Mi Flash Tool. See this for when you shouldn't lock the bootloader.

https://c.mi.com/thread-2584760-1-0.html

Global device here means anything that's not Chinese.

There is also a slight risk of bricking the phone if you are using a poor quality USB cable or an old PC with dodgy USB ports.

[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] phoinixtk:
As i said. The AOD keeps deactivating itself. I have no pattern on why or when this happens.

Any ideas?
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] GrahamBBB:
Hello. I have had this happen to me too. I think it is when your battery goes below 20% it is turned off automatically by the battery saver. Check Settings => Always-on display & Lock screen => Show items => Un-toggle "Turn off when Battery saver is on".

I hope this fixes your problem!
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] phoinixtk:
i dont turn on battery saver at 20%... but maybe it does it anyway... and after recharging it doesnt turn it back on again... i ve deactivated the setting. lets see what happens after next recharge.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] phoinixtk:
That was it. It now doesnt turn off anymore.

Thnx

We are very excited to announce the release of Paranoid Android Quartz, based on Android 10.

On the first launch, you’ll notice a clean setup with a beautiful wallpaper from Hampus Olsson, who teamed up with us again to create several beautiful pieces of artwork. Hampus is a multi-disciplinary artist whose design stands for itself and we’re glad to have him onboard. We also added further UI touches that we believe enhance the overall user experience. You can find all of the Paranoid Android wallpapers and many more in the Abstruct app, included in our builds.

Our builds are based on the Code Aurora Forum Android base, which is optimized for Qualcomm platforms and has a higher degree of performance, battery life, and functionality compared to the Android Open Source Project platform. The Paranoid Android team and contributors are focusing on squashing existing bugs, and implementing and improving features, performance, and stability. We are dedicated to providing a user experience with the stability that you can expect from stock ROMs with best-in-class performance and features to help you get the most out of your device.

Notice

As we are growing on our list of supported devices in each release, we require of a stronger build environment so we can speed up the compilation process for releases. Based on the actual Quartz 4 list, we support over 30 devices, which takes between 2 and 3 days for all the builds to be completed without counting possible compilation issues or rebuild needs, based on our current specs.

We kindly ask all of you that are in position to donate anything, to help and support us so we can provide better and faster build releases, as well as increase the download speed of our servers, all looking for your enjoyment.

Hello everyone. I have a problem with the ROM flash, on reboot it remains in the boot logo screen continuously without ever completing the boot. how can i solve it?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] aurocha:
Is your /data encrypted? If so you have to edit /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom and change the line that says encryptable=ice, quota to fileencryption=ice,quota.

That file, i believe, has two lines, one for ext4 and the second for f2fs.

Another option would be to format /data.

Also, check that you are on the latest version of the firmware.

Hi,

Great to hear that PA is available for our device.

Had the opportunity to flash it and it's just amazing.

One thing that's not working is vibration on call connection, even though the option exists in the Settings.

Searched but couldn't find a way to edit the statusbar settings.

I know this issues will be addressed in future builds.

Good to know PA has our back.

Well, decided even though I really love the Shift and it works great, I need a larger display....

It's in like-new condition has not been used very much, have all the goodies (case, manuals, cords, extra screen protector, etc) that came with it, including the original box.

The instant-on SnapVUE (WinMobile...) mode has been liberated....nice!

[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] Will008:
Well seems I'll be posting the first post here. Planning to get the P4A at release to upgrade my pixel 2xl.

Debating whether to get the 4 or the 4a, but the better battery life, dual SIM support are better for me than the soli radar crap.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] frontier02:
Following, in the same boat, Pixel 2xl camera crashed and unusable for a month now. Phone becoming so slow.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] Will008:
sucks to hear about your camera crashing man. Roll back to Android 9 and it should work, at least that's what I read about that issue. Seems that some hardware drivers got messed up while upgrading from 9 to 10, which is whats causing the crash for the camera in ur case and various other hardware issues with other users. I don't know if it would fix it, worth the shot. Make sure u flash the full factory image, and to make it brand new don't take out the -w and wipe ur device completely clean.

If it does work try to upgrade to 10 by flashing the full factory image.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] frontier02:
I would try that but then I would be locked out of my work computer. Have to have camera to scan code. But definitely will try that after I decide on which phone to upgrade to. Twice after this post my phone quit responding to touches and had to reboot it to work.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] astro_stark:
In the same boat here. I have the 2XL and though I'd love to keep this phone forever, it's starting to experience its fair share of issues. I'm waiting for the 4A. A few of my friends have the 4 and from their experience, Soli hasn't been worth it. Lots of complaints about missing the fingerprint scanner. Besides, not many Android apps support Face ID.

Unlikely the 4A will have an IP68 (or any) rating but that seems like the only downfall of the device. I'm excited to keep my fingerprint reader, dual SIM, and regain a headphone jack.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] Will008:
There is not much price difference with the current discounts that's why I'm torn.

Pixel 4xl

Pros: better soc, better screen, marginally better camera, IP68

Cons: battery life

Pixel 4a

Pros: battery life, dual SIM

Cons: mid-range SOC, marginally worse camera, smaller screen, no IP rating.

As far as the SOC goes, the 730 soc processor should be the same performance as the pixel 3XL in apps which is fine, but will be like the 2xl in games due to the much worse GPU. Should be a whole lot more efficient on battery though. I don't play much games but I hate stutters and lags. Carrying more than 1 phone is also a pain in my a**. I really hope it performs well with no stutters.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] mojorisin7178:
I recently upgraded to the 3a xl from the 2 xl. I love it. My wife had the original pixel xl so it was time to upggrade again. I was going to wait for the 4axl since i love the 3a so much. But as was said with the price drop I decided to get the 4xl. The main reason being I had my 3a for 3 days and accidently dropped it in water now I had flagship phones for a long time so i wasnt worried till i realized this phone is not ip rated. so i had to warrenty exchange it after only 3 days. So now my wife has 3a and I have 4. I have to say despite all the reviews the battery life on the 4xl is great. It is certianly on par with all the other pixel xl models I have had. And the only one i did not have was the 3xl. Now the 3axl is a different story that phone has legendary battery life because of its upper mid range processer. But My advice is if you need ip rated phone go for the 4xl. The smaller 4 is where the batttery really becomes an issue from what I have read and I read alot as you can see I am a big google fan had every phone starting with the n6p. oh and back in the day I had a galaxy nexus because I was a samsung fan before that.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] Will008:
That's is my issue, I want the IP rating but I also want the power efficient processor and the dual SIM. I guess I'll decide when it's fully revealed. Glad to see a Google fan, I still own and use every Nexus device from the Galaxy Nexus onward. The Nexus 6p is my all time favorite phone. I would still use it as a main phone if it's processor can be upgraded and get the battery replaced. Cheers buddy.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] dmb219:
I've had all the Pixels, liked them all. I traded my P4XL in on an S20+. As before, I'm done with the Galaxy & ready to go back to my Pixel. The 4a looks good to me. A couple compromises but every phone has that. The price though. I've spent 2 and 3 times that for phones. This has to be the most popular Pixel ever. The only downside is the economic disaster at hand. Priorities have changed for a lot of people.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] mojorisin7178:
The battery life on my 4xl is still really good and you can turn off the motion sence and the 90hz screen if it really is an issue. And I only charge my phone to 80 only 100 if I am going to be away from a chargers for more than a day and how often does that happen. Also o don't know what carrier you have but I'm on fi and I use esim. I could be wrong but I think o could pop a physical sim in and have dual SIM 1 physical and one esim. And my Nexus 6p was my favorite phone for a long time I did not have any issues with it until the end right before I got my pixel XL. The battery started getting crappy. My poor wife always gets my hand me down phones and she was stuck with it for a while till I got my.pixel 2xl. I even put a new battery in it and it worked ok for.a while and died within 7 months. That phone hadaa great start in life and a hard fall from Grace.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] mojorisin7178:
The only thing about Samsung is their hardware is untouchable when it comes to quality. For example the wifi radio it 5 times better than in other phones of the same price. But that software man. I just cant do it. It is a shame the phone has 8 gigs of ram and 7 of it is taken up by system/bloatware. ( and yes 7 gigs is an exaggeration but you get the point) when my friend got the s10 i thought about it because they say the new ui is not like touchwiz but i ran some tests on his brand new s10 and compared them to my pixel 2xl and yeah the s10 had some great features that at the time you could not get with any pixel but I gotta say my 2xl was almost as snappy as his s10 and it all came down to memory management and system resources being used by the s10. Both stock phones no root or anything. Yeah the s10 was a bit faster but the 2xl held up with its 4 gigs of ram and 835 snapdragon against 8gigs of ram and snapdragon 855 in the s10. Its all about knowing the os and how to use it. And google is the undefeated master of both. and dont say well google made android that is only partially true I put this in another post google made android alongside the great devs here at xda its their commits that google uses for pixel features and google watches whats going on here and what people are doing with android and they incorporate it into aosp and then onto pixel. anyway if your like the rest of us and strapped for cash right now you cant go wrong with the 4a. 4xl is still on sale and for that price its a good deal i think I grabbed mine up before things got really rough. Either way you will have a good snappy phone that takes great pics and never bogs down. Stay safe my friends.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] Will008:
I can do with Samsung's crappy software compared to Google's stock Android, but the camera is awful man. Samsung's hardware quality is on par with iPhones but the camera still sucks even with their ultra phone.

Now that apple has got their **** together and I can say pictures are marginally better on iPhones now plus the iphone's video capabilities are untouchable.

Samsung has got to step up their camera game with software and drop the hardware approach on the matter.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] mojorisin7178:
I agree with the fact that Samsung needs to try a little harder. Maybe less one ui bull crap and a little more camera optimizations

Hi all, I want to take you my experience. My daily driver for the last 3 years is a OnePlus 5. I'm very satisfied about it's performance, but I really don't like the camera and the videos. And now OnePlus prices are so unaffordable to take a new one. So, I decided to switch to the P4A hoping battery and camera will me easily forget my OP5

[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] Cometer:
If someone can help me. With the leaks I think we pretty much now what to expect from the Pixel 4a.

I have a dilemma though. The Pixel 4A is expected to release at the €400 price in a few weeks. But I can also get the Poco F2 Pro for €450. The issue I have is that looking at the specs and videos available, the F2 PRO has a lot better specs on paper. Larger battery life, HDR10+, big screen Snapdragon 865 so its 5G enabled (in case I ever need it).

I've been running Lineage OS in my very old Oneplus One. And back in the day I had the Nexus One. I would love to get the latest Google updates and I'm missing out on the latest assistant of course.

So I know many of you have been running Pixel phones and are looking at the Pixel 4A.

My question is. Is it really worth it going for a lower specs phone like the Pixel 4A over a phone like the Poco F2 PRO? And if so. Why?

Couldn't II get the same Google experience on the Poco F2 PRO later on by installing a custom ROM?

Thans for your help.
