Catching up yes but in a better way and while doing so they didn't forget about their existing features. Essentially iOS has most of the features of Android now.

Widget's look more polished on iOS, although there are still some limitations. Android kind of forgot about widget's.

There are small tweaks in camera apps of iOS, while Google hasn't paid any attention to it's own aap.

Privacy in enhanced further in iOS in a good way, small indication for any apps accessing camera, microphone.Google is playing catch up on that.

They have good dark mode settings right from beginning with good and new live wallpapers, Google only added schedule mode this time, which should've been added in Android 10 itself but no polishing of it in Android 11.

Pip is more polished on iOS again, you can even minimise it to the side and it still keeps playing it. Yet Google didn't make any changes to it except for resizing the ratio.

Google introduced rules 6 months before i guess, yet in Android 11 they did not even make an effort to enhance it to increase automation.

We have themes but what Google did to make it better was not exactly appreciated, they only changed the icon shape and yet to figure out what kind of clock to put. No scheduling for always on display.

I was really hoping Google to merge duo with message app and make it like iMessage, since we don't need anyone's number anymore to call from duo but nope it was not looked it.

I love Android and will support it but somehow i feel Google didn't put much thought into it for Android 11. They didn't polish existing features, while introducing new ones. We got bubbles and i never used it for Facebook but perhaps i might use it in 11 but that was a highlight feature.

They removed quick suggestions from recent app which used to save so much time. New notification heading gap wastes so much space. Let's hope beta 2 makes some kind of a leap forward and not leave users lot to be desired of.

To those trying to dispute iOS 14 with the guy who brought it up, you realize you just got trolled quite hard, right? And that you're feeding the triple, right?

He knows what he's doing. Your best option is ignoring him
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
I would agree with you if he wasn't pretty active on the forums. He has been basically looking for reasons to leave Android though.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Really? This is how you take it, when you don't have anything to say constructively? I'm a proud Pixel user and don't intend to leave it but facts are facts.

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------

Not really. I came to Pixel leaving my iPhone 7 plus and before using iPhone i was an Android users for life. I'm just disappointed with how Android 11 is shaping up at the moment. Yet i don't want to switch to Apple. I think you people should read and research more to know where I'm coming from.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Oh I've seen your posts here for the 4 XL and back on the 2 XL and I just got a sense of negativity a lot of time.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
You must've been the features I've requested as well. Most of them have found appreciation from others but those are the things which should've been there in Android 11 itself. I don't understand why we still don't have battery care? When every other Android OEM has it.

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

Have reported! It was a very useful feature to me. Now I have to go to home screen to open any app everytime.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Oh yeah I agree with you on that. Didn't we also talk about how we should have some kind of trade-in program too?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Yeah i guess! But my only point is Google kind of lost interest or Android 11 is a dull update.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
For those questioning and saying i have a propaganda of some sort should look at this
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah it's not huge but I've been liking it. I like the grouped notifications, I like that media controls is separated, I love the power menu with smart home switches, and (yes iOS has had this since late 2018) I hope they keep the built-in screen recording.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Yep i like grouped notifications as well but they really need to make it more polished. So much gap between headings. Hopefully before the final release it will happen. I've raised issue regarding that as well.

Media controls in notification is much appreciated but they need to sort out few issues. Like if i use it in my notification shade, it also displays in my lockscreen and it stays even after i stop playing music.

Power menu is nice but why remove screenshot options? Not everyone in the world has smart homes but it's to have it there yet keep the screenshot button.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Not seeing that issue for media player. What media app is that happening with?

They made it easier for screenshots with the option in the recent apps view. The button in the bottom left corner.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Screenshot 1-2 is media playing. Screenshot 3 i stop the media, screenshot 4 is it still staying in the lockscreen and unless i force close it there is no way to remove that notification.

Umm yeah but how will i take screenshot of any random app or any web page - ( I'll have to use power button+ vol down) but in Android 10 i use to use the power button and press screenshot. That was a one handed operation.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Also if you are saying i can take screenshots of any app or page by swiping up to recent menu then some apps don't really offer readable view in recent apps probably privacy concern. So that makes having it in the recent menu a bit less useful
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
The way I took it was with the power botton and volume down so you can see the option. When you actually tap it, it just the app and no recent apps.

---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

Ah my setting is different than yours for the lockscreen. I don't have my media controls on there probably because I have the skip lockscreen option on.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
I know! But this is what I'm talking about. This is Screenshot from my WhatsApp.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Oh that makes sense! Something Google needs to think about ? i think that's why it's in developer settings still and not a full fledged feature
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Right I forgot it had to be manually enabled.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Yeah! It seems like a last minute addition.

Any idea what happened to Google introducing some feature by tapping the back of the phone?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dragynbane222:
Dude, honestly it did look like you were trolling, I'll gladly stand corrected, as I would gladly prefer it that you were simply looking for info, as I dislike trolls as much as the next guy. Sorry about jumping to conclusions there.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Sigray:
If I downgrade to Telstra june image what will be the downside? Can I update it via OTA?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
You can't OTA to an older version so you need to flash it manually
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Sigray:
I can. Tried it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
I forgot it's the beta so guessing you just opted out?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
I finally got around to watch several iOS 14 hands on videos and wow their home screen is still so restrictive. It would still annoy me that I can't place apps and widgets wherever I'd like to. And technically you can have a clean, minimal one or two page setup because even though there's the apps library, all the app are still on the home screens. You have to hide pages to get a clean setup. Google doesn't need to make it better. We still have more flexibility.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
No worries! I'm just active in discussions. I don't believe in blind faith and more in constructive criticism.

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

It's just not the screen. Yes it's restrictive, it's Apple's iteration of the feature. It's still better than iOS 13 and in a bigger way. Doesn't have to be perfect they'll get there but what matters of is there is improvement from previous update.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Gosh I had a lot of typos in my post. LOL. I fixed all that.

Right in an iOS bubble it's much improved but as an Android user it's like "half-assed" to me.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Yep agreed! It's like how they are privacy in Android. Both are good platforms yet i love Android for what it is. Just the feeling that they should've done a bit more in Android 11.

From what i know is not many features are added after beta 1 so not sure how will they take all the feedback and feature requests.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Privacy? What's that? LOL.

Yeah I don't know Google's track record on feature requests but I'm guessing it's not great. Yet sometimes things just randomly happen like the new Google Photos update. For the longest, I've been wanting a map for where photos have been taken.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
I did sign up for Android 10 beta as well but there was not much addition after beta 1 or 2 if i remember.

I got the photos update but nothing actually changed lol! Except my icon. Did your interface changed? I hope it's just Android 11 beta
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah I've been doing Android betas since 2016. It's all been incremental.

I'm in the same boat. I got the app update but still waiting for it on the server side to actually give me the new features.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Oh so it must be because of Android 11 beta only. Good to know! Good thing is Pixels get feature drops quarterly. However, it will stop for pixel 2 this year :/

It will be surprising if Pixel 1 is updated to Android 11 as a surprise :D
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Sigray:
Yep.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] beache:
As I'm aware, they aren't upgrading the Pixel 1 to android 11 ?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Yeah but iOS 14 has made quite a lot of buzz and their 5 years support might put Google under pressure. However, it's only a wish lol i don't think it'll happen unless they decide to surprise us.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Got the photos update finally!

Any idea which day of the month new beta releases?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Jiggs82:
Previews or beta releases usually drop on Wednesdays so my guess is beta 2 would be July 8th if not the 15th
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Today is a Wednesday as well :))
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] EeZeEpEe:
Yesterday day was too soon. It's looking like 2nd Wednesday of the month.

Is 4GB file size limit still a thing at video recording? Please somebody test it!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
It shouldn't be as it was being lifted in android 11.

Beta 2 is out!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Horseepower:
Yeah, I've read about it but can anyone confirm, please?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CoOlSlY:
duplicate srry
[Google Pixel 4 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
So Google did listen to my 1st request and released an update for AOD to be turned off during Digital well-being scheduling. It does save battery! I hope they listen to the other requests as well.

I have just received my Diamond and was just wondering what essential software i should download/buy to make the most of the phone. I was also wondering what Navigation people recommend to get, Tomtom, Garmin or iGo.

Thanks all in advance

Do you think that you need to settle new topic for that to let all repeat their opinion for xxxxx times ? Don`t be lazy and search

look man i dont think that you read the roles of this forum

one of the forum roles is that you need to search before opening any new thread
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] KukurikU:
here u have it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=406795

now that we get this sorted, i have to say my opinion on this even it is not specific to this thread.

imagine that only a hundred of the thousands new diamond users will get here and without:

1. reading the rules of this forum (this forum like all forums has it's rules).

2. reading a few existing threads at least a page or two.

3. using the search

4. reading the user manual

they'll start new threads with the same subjects about apps, how to flash, what is hard spl, gps problem, battery life and so on, and so on...

we have to discourage this. we have to teach the noobs to use this forum and not to spam it. let them read and experiment. that's the only way they'll learn something or we'll have to keep piggyback caries them and they'll keep getting in the way.

i was also a noob i know it not easy, i was flamed and many times didn't get my answers. the forum was not full of tutorials like he is today. i have read and read until i was confident enough to experiment.

there are many interesting threads that got pushed away in second or third page because of some useless, redundant thread by noobs that don't bother to read the manual!

now, thank you for keeping this forum clean!

Is there anyone who does know about an gcam app which have a mode by which photos have been takking without clicking shutter button....?

It has the similar feature with the motion mode but some kinda different from that ...

I don't remember the gcam version and the mode name...

You just have to enable that from settings and then just swipe twice at the right at the home of the gcam ...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Accessories] moman2000:
I'm sure he meant that you cannot buy the cable separately. Of course, chargers come with cables.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Accessories] blackhawk:
It's the same one that comes with the 25 watt brick with phone.

It must be a fast charge cable or it won't fast charge.

The phone senses which cable type is used and adjust the charge rate accordingly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Accessories] Tekflow:
You need a USB-C to USB-C cable capable of transmitting a current of 5A.

I watch a video on youtube. 25w vs 45w chargers on 2 identical Samsung Note 10+.

45w was faster than 25w with 10 minutes. ONLY 10 minutes!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Accessories] winol:
Yes, no surprise there, it was stated since the start, that the advantage of the 45w vs the 25w was not really in making the the time required to full charge a batt, the advantage is centered in a region, that is, the 45 w power is only used until certain level is reached, past that, it returns to a lower level, this indeed was explained by samsung itself, and by serious reviews an analisys
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Accessories] blackhawk:
For partial charges there may be more of a difference in the power curve of the charge. The 25 w brick yields about 2% @ minute in optimum conditions.

The temp of the battery can vary charge times as well.

Ideal charge temp is probably above 80F* but below 95F.

Battery health also effects charge rate.

The 25 w brick charges very fast...

*below 80F can promote Li plating which permanently degrades the cell
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Accessories] raserdude:
Try one plus type C to type C cable which is capable of charging upto 65 watts and supports Samsung superfast charging 2.0 with Samsung 45 watt charger. It's available in 150/100 cm length which is quite longer than short oem cable that came with charger.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] MiMax3Bootloop:
Currently facing the exact same issue. Did anyone find a solution to this? My goal is to get the data (pictures, videos) from the phone and store them somewhere safe.

-----------------------------------------

EDIT: I got the phone into fastboot mode. Is there any way to recover my data from the phone in this state?

-----------------------------------------

Some extra information for the people who want to help:

Most recent official global rom.

Bootloader is locked.

Unknown if usb debug is activated in developer options.

Steps I've undertaken:

- Pulled the phone out of my pocket. The screen was black (but on). Phone didn't react to touch input.

- Held the power button down until it shut down. Can't remember whether it restarted instantly or after I tried turning it back on again.

- Phone turned on and got stuck on the MI screen with the "Powered by android" logo at the bottom as can be seen in the picture below.

View attachment 5274035

Things I've tried:

- Holding down the power button. Phone restarts instantly.

- Holding down the power button and volume up button. Phone restarts instantly.

- Holding down the power button and volume down button. Phone restarts instantly.

- Holding down the power button, volume up and volume down button. Phone restarts instantly.

- Holding down the power button and volume up button. Releasing the power button as soon as it reboots. Still stuck at MI screen.

- Holding down the power button and volume down button. Releasing the power button as soon as it reboots. Low battery screen is shown for a split second and the phone powers down. Doesn't reboot. Turning it on again after still stuck at MI logo.

- Letting it drain the battery and plugging it in the charger after. Phone boots up and gets stuck at MI logo.

- Letting it drain the battery and plugging it into a pc. Phone charges. Doesn't turn on. White notification led is shown (like when it's charging regularly). Pc recognises it as an unknown device as shown below. View attachment 5274047

The phone is not displayed as an storage device in This PC. I've tried updating the usb driver. Not updated it is shown under USB devices in Computer Management

View attachment 5274057

Updating the driver either by searching for drivers automatically via Windows 10 or downloading the usb driver from xiaomidriversdownload.com and selecting the downloaded driver folder manually did not work. It merely changed the name of the device to ADB android something. Can't remember what it exactly was.

If you are still reading, thank you. I appreciate your attention.

Does anyone know a solution on how to boot the phone properly or how to extract the data from the phone. Wiping it clean to make the phone useable again is not the focus here.

Any help is much appreciated and would mean the world to me!
