The future of Console Gaming until a new system comes out belongs to PS3

There is no doubt about

Anyone who plans on purchasing a system should buy PS3

The new XBOX will be out by the end of 2009

I must say that's wrong sir. Even though the PS3 is very good and all, but the future belongs to the Wii and MotionPlus.

Wii/PS3 - Complete different sides of the gaming spectrum

While Wii accomidates to Users of all ages, including kids games as well as some teen-adult, the PS3 dominates in the world of the average user

And dont even get me started w/ wii's downfalls...for starters, only 480p HD Support :(

[Off-topic] Kraize:
Okay. I guess you're right. We'll just have to see PS4 vs Wii 2! :D
[Off-topic] JstarLuvsTina:
heres my input..since i own both, and have for some time.. ill break it down..

360 pros

- online

- arcade games ( the classics ) the others just suck!

- more games available

- major major releases comming in the near future!

- not alot of functionality yet..YET being the key word! they have some pretty sweet stuff comming out for the 360 within the next few months

PS3 pros

- PS3 store - its f'n awesome, the arcade games are great! mostly puzzle, and other mind games and not so childish

- full internet browser

- Built in Blu Ray player

- Blu Ray Gaming!

- comes with wireless set-up internally .. dont need to go out and by a sperate device

- complete skinning available..not for the exterior the system, thats just lame, but as u would on ur phone! yea u can create a theme for your ps3Heres the website where u can download, get the tutorial on how too, and browse other user created themes : http://www.ps3-themes.com/

- storage capabilities

- hardware mods available, and easy to do!

- constant and consistant upgrades!

360 Cons

- ring of death! ive alone have had 4 360's aready, my wife is on her 2nd and my younger brother is on his 2nd .. kudos to Best Buy for a replacement plan.

- if u want to go wireless.. u need to buy it! its not internal

- if u dont have HD, the games are starting to look a bit old

- noisy

- gets HOT real fast!

- too many accessiories are damaging to the system..intercooler fan kills ur system pins for wired controllers were off during feb-apr release of 08

PS3 Cons

- online gaming is pretty bad!

- again, the system gets HOT, not as hot as a 360 but it gets pretty warm

- not as many games available as with the 360, but PS3 exclusive titles are pretty hot!

IMO .. for online gaming, and all around fun def go 360.

To get the best deal for ur dollar i would go with the PS3, between the built in Blu Ray Player and new deals available at Blockbuster Stores and other major Shopping Stores, Target, Walmart etc.. You cant beat it!

Hope this helps!

i hear alot of people talk about netflix or something that u can download for the xbox 360. but u have to pay for the movie and then it automatically deletes itself too after the 30 evaluation days is up. isnt that odd how u cant even keep what u pay for?
[Off-topic] JstarLuvsTina:
actually .. its a normal netflix account, just in a diffrent layout.. so to speak!

from what i saw on E3, what u need is a normal netflix account, and obviously an xbox live account. It supposdly works out the same way.. u rent the movie, and keep it as long as u like, as long as your netflix and xbox account is still active. Once your account is suspended its automatically deleted from your system.

[Samsung Galaxy A20 Questions & Answers] rkhrn:
I thought of testing out different custom ROMS available for my device (Samsung A20 ) just to see what fits me, So I tried to flash a custom ROM "Havoc OS", right after flashing a ROM from XDA under my phone's section which is another custom ROM which i guess is ported from S20 " https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-a20/development/ultimate-q-s20-v2-rom-t4104667 " and installed the ROM it worked fine, but after flashing Havoc OS, It boots up but the screen goes black after few seconds after displaying the Samsung logo... Knox... Powered by android and all that but goes off quickly and the black screen starts to appear, i tried holding down the power button and volume down together and also power button + volume up but nothing seems to work, i.e it won't get me into recovery or download mode. I tried using Odin while the phone is connected but even then it didn't show up on Odin's log as well. Please help :crying:

Update: The problem was fixed: I left the device to stay in the boot loop and the battery drained and then when I connected it to the power brick when the battery is completely drained i was able to boot into twrp recovery without a problem. ( Also i did this after removing the memory card )
[Fire TV General] MaxTheSonicFan:
I do not know how to use windows command prompt and ADB and I have little experience installing custom recoveries and roms I would appreciate some help.
[Fire TV General] Pachacouti:
Simple.

Find an adb installer, countless links on this site alone gets you that.

In my windows machine, I install adb to c:\adb. I then right click the adb folder then click 'command window here'

If you get no 'command window here', google a registry patch for your os that simply puts 'command window/prompt' here

In the black box that opens, type 'adb devices'

Voila, your now an expert in seeing your device from a different angle, now all you got to do is read everything you can find on this site relating to your device, and follow any instructions., using this black box to type commands which then get sent to your device.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] crazyfox21:
My Redmi Note 8 Pro has bricked after flashing Magisk, confused which method can fix my device

- No Recovery (bootloop even holding volume+)

- Can boot to Fastboot but after connect to PC it's rebooting instead connected on fastboot :confused:

can somebody help me ASAP :(
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] beachfl:
Can you get it to stop at fastboot, and stop rebooting over and over? Like, when it first powers down (black screen), before it starts to come back up, hold power and volume down, and boot to the fastboot screen. It should stick. From there you can flash stock ROM.

You might need to only flash stock boot.img, but when that's happened to me, I flashed the whole thing
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] crazyfox21:
Get some info from youtube it seems this laptop fail to detect/install adb/fastboot driver,, then my Device go to charging mode and ended up bootloop instead of charging. (because if i let the phone itself, without connecting to Laptop. . .it's rock solid on Fastboot mode)

Still try to get other PC/Laptop, seems current available one has a messy Windows. . .

When i execute "fastboot devices" on cmd,, pop-out error api-crt-. . . .- l1.1.0.dll missing

Try installing vc_redist failed to execute MSU

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Tinderbox (UK):
I use to flash rom`s when i was younger phones and tablets and never had a brick, I am glad it`s out of my system, Anyway the 8pro works fine for me as a non-gamer as it seem to be very risky to flash.

Good luck getting your problem solved.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Muad.Dib:
Greetings,

First thing I would do is grab the latest version of ADB/Fastboot, uninstall previous version and reinstall it on your Laptop as Admin, turn off your Anti-virus anti-spyware, optimization program or whatever app you may have running on your Laptop and which could prevent system modification, then run it as Admin. If during installation you are poped with installing more things like MS or google's libraries and such, install them.

You may also try to reboot your phone to fastboot while already being connected to computer which may prevent it to boot to the charging page.

If you manage to get fastboot stable enough when connected and if you have no done already, you may want to proceed with reading the [GUIDE][INFO][PSA] Redmi Note 8 Pro - Megathread + CFW and applying the anti-brick solution before flashing anything else like a recovery again.

Assuming you have not damaged anything else, to recovery from a Magisk installation failure you may only need to flash the boot.img from your exact same Stock image you were on.

If that does not suffice, flashing additionally system and userdata (all data will be lost) should fix it.

Hope this helps,

Good Luck!

PS: I am assuming your bootloader is unlocked right?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] crazyfox21:
[SOLVED]

Sorry for late update. . .

Just like i mention above, cause of laptop that i borrowed so messy. . .its anti-core thing won't allow adb/fastboot connection (that's why, my device suddenly disconected and going to charging mode)

*as soon as i go to nearest net-cafe, i can do fastboot thing (Re-flash stock boot.img and TWRP) and my phone booted up normally ??

Edit : my false because i'm forget to close AVB before flashing Magisk
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Muad.Dib:
So glad you could fix it and make it work in the end! That's all what matters!

Hey guys,

Have anyone had any luck sideloading Peacock Android TV version on a rooted stick?

I were not able to and I tried playing with Xposed modules and turning on Magisk Hide but no go. The app instantly crashes once you try to run it.

Anyone familiar with a good way to work around this ?

Thanks

I have a unlocked 4k (no root) i tried it on and it just crashes on startup. I tried it on the latest FireOS and a couple older ones. I always get the same crash at start up. I tried the phone version and i get the same. no ideas here...
[Fire TV General] king200:
I used Peacock on non rooted Firestick 4K and it worked. I signed in but it did not work the first time. I forced close in the app and then it worked without problem. I downloaded the www.apkmirror.com

[Fire TV General] rocker0:
I think it just doesn't work on rooted devices, but I've heard people having it working just fine by doing what you've just explained above :)

Sadly, this doesn't seem to work with rooted ones, rebooting or force closing doesn't seem to do the trick.

I wonder if there is a way to bypass the root detection and run it also on rooted firetv4k.

[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] TheKorbenDallas:
Hello

Just received a email from AT&T, claiming that none of my Sony phones will be compatible with AT&T wireless network on 2022. This is what their page says

"To bring you faster speeds and new features, we have to evolve America’s best and also fastest network. One change we’re making is phasing out our 3G network by February 2022. Once we do, 3G devices and 4G wireless devices that don’t support HD Voice will no longer work on our network."

Their compatibility list (https://www.att.com/ecms/dam/att/consumer/help/pdf/Devices-Working-on-ATT-Network.pdf) does not include any Sony phones at all.

Does anyone know if this is actually true? One the one hand, I can see that my phones are not on their compatibility list. On the other hand, AT&T appears to be completely unaware of Sony's existence.

I"m on AT&T, and I don't have VOLTE from them here in Texas. Our X1 is not supported according to list provided by AT&T, however no Sony phones are.

[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
The phone will probably still be able to use data, but no calls will be possible since the phone doesn't support VoLTE on AT&T.
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] thehumble1:
The Phone supports it just fine. AT&T won't allow their servers to support the phone. They say its because they can't certify that it's safe to use for VoLTE and that means 911 calls could fail but it's really because they are pushing people to get AT&T branded phones and stay on a phone payment plan.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Alifirdaus:
Hi guys, first of all, I came from miui 11.0.6.0 global stable rom and rooted with magisk. I update my note 7 to android 10 global stable version which release recently via "choose update package" in the setting. Everything works perfectly until I boot it up and got "System UI error" pop-up. After clicking wait, the UI restarted but its getting worst. Everything I did even locking the screen was sluggish. So in the end I change back to my original rom and unfortunately, my phone lags too but no error pops up. Trying to clear cache and even clearing the system via orangefox and reinstall the OS but it still lag. Wonder if anyone have the same issue and has solved it?

Stuck on dark mode

I successfully installed the Android 10 OTA update on my Redmi Note7 about two hours ago, however, my phone has been stuck on dark mode ever since.

The toggle isn't activated from quick settings, neither is it switched on from the display settings. This is happening despite my battery being at 68%. It only disable dark mode when I plug it in power outlet.

Please, who knows how I could fix this? I like dark mode but not during the day or in a well lit environment.

I've tried downloading the Themes for Telegram app, using the security app to scan as I read somewhere, heading into developer settings to make sure that dark theme isn't enabled, rebooted my phones a couple of days ago times, with and without charger charger plugged in. I should note that my status bar has been acting weird since I updated to MIUI 11 in January, like showing black icons and text on black background, and vice versa. And the battery icon not reflecting the actual battery status.

Someone help, please. This is getting to my nerves already. ??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Cyb3rFr4nk:
Seems like the only option left

I've resorted to doing that, but I have to first find a way to backup my app data. My concern, however, is that being that I don't have OrangeFox/TWRP already flashed and rooted, doing that now might lock me out, as I've read comments, on custom recovery threads, that flashing a custom recovery triggers password/PIN request, and formatting data is the only way past it.

My decision not to modify the phone is hitting me hard, now.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Cyb3rFr4nk:
Fixed!

I only charge my battery fully every now and then. I don't usually leave it plugged in up to 90% even. Well, I decided to do that, yesterday—to fully charge it. And voila! At 90%, a notification came in that said something along the line of: 90% charged – features enabled (unrestricted)

The notification came from "Battery Saver" but not MIUI. Seems to be fragments of AOSP, can't say for certain, but when I tapped on the notification, it just opened a blank (white) screen. And trying to open the app info reveals it as the "Settings" app.

I had the hunch that it could be caused by remnants of AOSP—one of the first things I tried was use Nova launcher's activities shortcut to see if I could get an activity that points to AOSP battery saver. Then I also used "Hidden Settings For MIUI" to run advanced search for "battery" and "saver", but got no result.

I'll monitor to see if it would come back, in which case I'd try to clear settings app data, and hope that it'd get rid of it entirely.

MIUI 11 based on Android 10 has really got the phone performing nicely again, something MIUI 11 pie update wrecked. The update before this one, MIUI 11.0.6.0, was the worst OEM update I've ever had since I started using Android back in 2012. Just horrible performance, considering the specs of the phone.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] technocrat7:
Hello All,

I want to update my phone because it is slow as ****, as soon as I got it out of the box when it released, I rooted it and just have been using it like that since.

As you all know, backing up your files and doing all this can really take a lot of time and so I haven't really freed up.

I finally want to take that lunge and get on the good stuff.

I used dirtysanta way back when and got it all rooted and TWRP installed.

From this point, how do I update (get on 20H) and put on LineageOS?

I've heard it's very fast, optimized, and very good for the LGV20.

the only app I really use is Instagram, and Whatsapp.

Everything else is utility, for example, the IR blaster for the remote, streaming, banking, emails, just normal stuff.

I won't lose any of that functionality right?

And I didn't do any updates, will I need to update my kernal or anything?

Would really appreciate some resources so I can get through without some trial and error, I do have NANDROID backups from TWRP.

I backed everything up also using Titanium, so I am good to proceed, just need the steps and was getting confused with all the guides and not knowing where to start.

Edit:

Also my phone is currently:

H91810d, rooted, TWRP, otherwise stock
