[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] jalado:
I wouldn't purchase it unless it goes on sale. I would wait because the pixel 5 will be coming soon and its most likely going to be cheaper than $999. the pixel 4a is out now and it can do almost everything the 4 can for $479 Canadian!
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] Sanady:
Cool but there is few users that are recommending to wait for Pixel 5, what do you think is it worth waiting for 699$ phone which will be expensive then current Pixel?

Best regards,

Sanady
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] GTOJim:
As I understand the Pixel 4 will be a little faster than the Pixe 5 if rumours are correct about the Pixel 5 having a 765 CPU vs Pixel 4 855 cpu.

The biggest issue for reviews seem to be Pixel 4 battery life. I don't have the screen on for 4-5 hours daily so battery life is perfectly fine for me. One of my favorite features is the wireless charging, I'm a woodworker and make my own custom wireless charging stands.

Another consideration for me is Google FI phone service which switches between T-Mobile, Sprint, and US Cellular. Our phones switch to US Cellular visiting a daughter. Plus free unlimited calling to Mexico where a sister-in law lives.

The decision to purchase a Pixel 4 depends on your budget, expectations and how you use your phone. There are a lot of things to like about the Pixel 4. Overall it's very fast, fluid, and buttery smooth with the screens 90htz refresh rate. If your screen on time is 4-5+ hours daily without a way to recharge during the day the Pixel 4 might not be for you.

As me I like the pure android experience. Previously I rooted all my devices and installed pure android. I didn't care for example Samsung's additions and tweaks. Pixel's are the first to get the newest release or version of Android for 3 years. Example Android 11 is coming soon. The beta version available right now..

If you decide to purchase a Pixel phone I would recommend against purchasing from Verizon as the boot-loader is locked and can't be unlocked.

In 2 or 3 years when security updates stop you will have the option of rooting, installing custom roms with updated security patches.

If security is important the Pixel is the best android, Samsung is next, not perfect but very close. Some have been known to push out old security patches changing only the date giving a false sense of security. Hopefully others with more experience will correct me if I'm mistaken and can offer better advice..

The Pixel 4 isn't perfect, what phone is? Did I mention it's buttery smooth? If your screen on time is 4-5+ hours daily without a way of charging during the day the Pixel 4 is not the best device.

Good luck with your with your next device, Pixel or not. Hopefully I didn't muddy the waters with your decision. Hopefully you will come back and let us know what device you will purchase.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] barondebxl:
Absolutely not worth it. Go for the 4a it's a much better buy
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] GTOJim:
Read the PIxel 4 & 4XL are no longer available from Google, still available from other sources until sold out.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] Edmontonchef:
I have a 2xl that still works fine, is there any point in upgrading to a 3axl or 4? Those are my only options with my carrier. I almost never run stock unless I have to. I could wait for the 4a but it won't be available here untill the end of September.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] GTOJim:
I would wait but it's not my choice. Good luck.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] Edmontonchef:

Congrats on your new Pixel. I hope it is delivered much sooner than expected.

I was wondering if there's a way to flash the tmobile firmware to an unlocked att v60? Also, can the att v60 connect to all of the same 5G Bands as the tmobile version? Thanks in advance?
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Mangtas_666:
Without root exploit and twrp there's no way to cross flash firmwares.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Alibaba0101:
NO

The tmobile variant of the lg v series phones always have different encryption keys than all the other phones. You should never attempt to put the tmobile firmware on a non tmobile variant or vice versa.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] staljin:
Furthermore crossflashing does not work with LG Up. Tried to flash mine LMV600EA Taiwanese version with LMV600EA EU fw and no go. Someone said that there is a hardware lock preventing crossflashing but statment does not present any facts or explanasion.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Alibaba0101:
The phones from other regions may also have different encryption keys. Regardless the cross flashing for the v30, v35, and v40 were mostly the result of patched lg-up that allowed the crossflashing.

I see there are some comments that it is able to convert LG V60 Tmobile to Open Canada since they are same code V600TM.

1. Is there anyone tried?

2. How about the US Cellular firmware when compare with the Open Canada?

I think both of them are open firmware like global (without carrier apps). Is it correct?

im alright with computers, but not really the smoothest. i have a dell inspiron 6000 that just has reached the point of pissing me off since its so slow. i need to reboot the from scratch (a hard reset in ppc terms) but i cant find the reboot cd that comes in the box the computer comes in...

so does anyone know anything i might be able to do??

i appreciate any help cuz this laptops been driving me nuts lately..... Thanks!
[Off-topic] kareeem:
Look for it online (recovery disk) and see if it's available anywhere. If not, contact Dell and see if they'll send you one. If none of those work, you'll have to get an xp/vista cd/dvd and boot off of that.
[Off-topic] Kraize:
There's usually a button that you can press during the bios screen when you boot it up, for HP laptops it's F10. I have no idea for dell. Just try rebooting and pressing the F keys lol.

[Off-topic] TheChampJT:
You shouldn't need the CD, all the files needed are kept in the recovery portion of your drive.
[Off-topic] Kraize:
Exactly! My post before just mentioned a way to access it lol. I forgot what it was called.
[Off-topic] TheChampJT:
Yeah, like you said it's F10 on my Inspiron, then a few other options.
[Off-topic] ajm144k:
thanks! you guys actually were on the exact right track.

for dells its a combo though, Ctrl + tap F11 at the BIOS screen.

thanks for leading me in the right direction, my laptop is worth using again, its great!

Thanks guys :D
[Off-topic] Ibuprophen:
According to the Dell Website, your system had last used Windows XP and has long passed its End Of Life (EOL) date.

The following link is for Windows XP and is legitimate and is even referred to by Dell Support for all Windows software and recovery after the EOL has passed.

http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-microsoft-windows/download-dell-windows-xp-oem/

Also, i believe that when Windows XP was out, the BIOS only stated Windows XP and didn't reflect which edition. Unlike today, where systems that have the Windows version and also has the edition too (ie Windows 8 Professional, Home, etc...)

If that's the case for the XP, then this could be a good thing for you. This means that you can even install XP Professional Media Center Edition without a problem.

Also, i see that yours didn't come with a multi core processor (unless you had upgraded it to one). This means that you are only able to use the x86 (32-bit) one but, that's okay.

I wish you the best of luck!

So I have vanced YouTube as magesik module installed, play protect is turned off, do not auto update is on, when I update my other apps YouTube is left out. But still every few days YouTube gets updated anyways, any idea what is doing the update and how to stop it?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] fxz:
It always does that, and we all know it's annoying. I guess we'll just have to deal with it until someone / Google fixes it, which they probably won't, might I add.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] djhulk2:
What about do not check for updates option, or disabling Google play when not needed?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] fxz:
What you could do is make YouTube Vance's a system app so if it does update you can just uninstall updates and go back to vanced.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] PriPhaze:
or what you could do and i honestly prefer is to disable youtube app and install vanced no root version and it will of course never update plus you have the chance to re enable original app if you want to and both youtubes will co exist .

You Can dissable youtube in oos seting, if it dissable no update. And install vanced no root version.

Actually I found a way. https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/Detach

And youtube is vanced without microg, no longer showing in update
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] fp1707:
This is what I do, idk if it's helpful to you anymore but here it is.

I get Vanced Manager and install the root version of youtube.

Then I install xXx No Limits ROM and use it to detach YouTube from Play store.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJDS6:
Camera & Flash not working after unlocking and changing ROMs (Very new to all this)

Hi,

So I just did my first ever unlock on my Xperia Z5 dual E6683 yesterday and was a bit overwhelmed at first but actually started enjoying tinkering with TWRP and the adb flash tool. Anyway I was hoping to use LineageOS 17.1 Android 10 as my main OS and everything is fine (actually better than stock) except for the camera and flash which are not being detected at all. I have tried wiping and reflashing the ROM multiple times and changed versions but to no avail. I have been looking for a fix since yesterday and it seems this is a common problem. Is there any Android 10 ROM thats secure, stable and has a working camera for the Z5 or is this issue fixable? Should I started looking into "kernals"?

Things I tried:

lineage-17.1-20200722-UNOFFICIAL-sumire

lineage-17.1-20200411-UNOFFICIAL-sumire

-

OpenCamera

-

with or without Gapps

I am currently downloading a stock Z5 ROM to see if the camera works.

Thanks for your help!
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJDS6:

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simbanono:
Its still being worked on, Android 7 and 10 have different kernel requirements, please be patient. Also dont open a forum post if it clearly states in the lineageos 17.1 forum thread. Also keep in mind that its an unofficial rom, and also no, currently there are no stable roms with camera working.

Does it do it anywhere else other than your house?

If so, you may just have something defective in your phone and you'll have to send it in.

[Realme X2 Pro Questions & Answers] vicky_ag:
I am OnePlus 3T user and after 3 years of usage I am planning an upgrade. While my first reaction was to stick to the OnePlus brand, I saw Realme X2 Pro specs and I am quite tempted. Please help me out with few questions:

1. Long term durability - I have butter fingers and drop my phone often. I have my OP3T in a nilkin frosted case and still there are damages here and there. Does anyone have experience on Realme X2 Pro's durability?

2. Privacy and Bloatware - I understand that in today's world getting rid of data collection on a smartphone is difficult. Oneplus is no saint in this area. But I have concerns about the bloatware and frequent home calling in Chinese phones. Is there a way around that on this phone? I understand I can install custom rom but I am concerned about the overall functionality.

3. Magisk - From what I can read and find getting modules to work is a pain. In some roms, Magisk causes the internal memory to be read only. So is there any other way to get modules like Viper4android and Gcam on the phone?

4. Long term battery stability - The whole race towards faster charging is actually great. It is a must have feature for me. But I am concerned about the long term durability of battery life in this day and age. Any ideas on how much does the battery degrade over the year?
