[Realme X2 Pro Questions & Answers] kk100:
Thanks everyone for taking time to reply.

About budget phones yes i have been using redmi note 4 SD for past 3 years but this time I really want more ram like 12gb/256 Realme x2 pro or k20 premium edition 12/512gb. I will mostly use stock rom I don't want to get into custom roms I am not a developer or much technical details knowledge.

But now I don't want to use my mobile with Ramexpander app for extra ram, Using 2 sim plus 128gb micro SD(This is enough but not good, need more memory) card with sim extension tool,I also use external 1tb hdd with mobile data backup with stickmount app.

Xiaomi still doesn't has Mi Pc suite for above KitKat which is extremely annoying. Unfortunately transferring data from mobile through mtp doesn't work in my mobile and lost lot of important data because of this earlier.

Does Realme has Pc suite?

For Realme x2 pro mobile 12gb/256gb I am looking for warranty after root.

I am still more inclined to buy Realme x2 pro 12/256 or k20 pro premium 12/512gb. I just want value for money and peace of mind that these phone will last next 3 years without any trouble.

Thanks everyone for replying.

Realme doesn't have PC suite, but why do you need it?

1. use myphoneexplorer , its virtually for every android device on earth freee, https://www.fjsoft.at/en/ , started for sony ericson but as sony moved to xperia the developer added support for android, i always use this never installed xperia companion or kies or misuite

2. no realme / oppo dont have pc suite, not that i found on web

3.since grass is greaner on the other side, and as user above said xiomi has bigger developent community, i am now more inclined towards k20 pro, but you will feel more inclined towards k20 pro once after you will buy realme x2 pro :D lol

4. i would not say x2pro headphone volume is loud! yes speaker is loud, i still use volume booster by Goodav to enjoy music

Pc suite is better for backups. Realme and should have Pc suite. Its more effective and user friendly.

Thanks a lot for telling me about Myphoneexplorer program/app. I used it. It was something I was looking for a very very long time. I backed up Internal storage and lot of things from external storage on laptop. (I AM VERY GRATEFUL TO YOU).

I have one more question if you could reply It will be very kind of you. . If I could get K20 Pro Premium Edition 12gb/512gb memory Global version from UAE should I get it considering that there will be no Warranty in India. Should I take the risk?If something goes wrong like screen replacement. How much will screen replacement cost in India? Any Ideas?

On a UAE website K20 Pro 12/512gb (I don't know if its premium version or has global rom) The price Converted to India is INR 30K only. (Around $400)

I really like this phone :)

[ RESOLVED ]

Hello Everyone,

There was no satisfactory response here about rooting and warranty of Realme x2 pro mobile 12gb ram 256gb memory phones.

I wrote email to Realme customer service India asking about warranty after rooting about Realme phones.

This is the reply I got and posting screen shot too of the email.

In response to your query, We would like to inform you that if you root your device / unlock the bootloader or add any custom ROM to your device and later wish to flash back your device to the official version, you may visit the service center to get the services within warranty.

However, if in case, the official version doesn't get installed due to any software or hardware issues, services at service center will be considered as out of warranty.

I hope this will help somebody else from not going through all the troubles I went.

Hi,

My device is stuck at 2nd boot screen.

It is an Imate K-Jam G3

it is unlocked

i have IPL/SPL 3.08

I can get into 3color boot mode and flash anything.

I try with official Rom, with T-mob 2.26 and with other but all of them do the same. Stuck after the 2nd screen with the IPL/SPL/GSM/OS display on screen.

Every time i flash the screens and info is changed so the flash seems to be fine.

I also try to format fat a few times but the same result.

What else can i try?

Thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mattyv:
Try Using the MTTY Tool

If you can't backup the rom - gives you an access error "you cannot access this...." then your device is CID locked. If it lets you back up, then you can reflash and be back in business. I don't recall the exact name of the program but if you search for MTTY you should find it - follow the directions carefully.

[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] LicQuyd:
Hello All,

Just upgraded from my OnePlus 3T to a OnePlus 8 IN2010.

I have rooted phones in the past, never rooted my OnePlus 3T.

Currently from everyone experiences, what are the advantages of rooting the OnePlus 8 nowadays.

And major Pro's or Major Con's?

Any really cool stuff worth Rooting?

Thanks for any information in advance?

Best Regards

LicQuyd
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Raiz:
Hi,

IMO root with the OP8 isn't necessary. I've rooted and used ROMs with every single other phone I had, because the updates never came, and there were a tons of customization back then. Now I feel that customization is used just to port features from the Google Pixel, or other beautiful UI/UX elements. Android when evolving got better with customizations and design (especially OP), so I don't feel like rooting is worth it for this phone.

But! I still love doing that on other cheap phones to make my experience better.

That's my POV, and it'll surely change when the OP8 won't receive updates anymore.

Have a good day ;)
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] rockstang:
I still root for systemless ads and customizations. It's worth noting that widevine drm is triggered by unlocking bootloader. You will lose hd for Netflix, Prime and I think Disney + it's getting less worthwhile imo but in stuck on the root ad removal.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] 3mutts:
Root isnt that important anymore IMO, I would unlock the bootloader though so you can install a custom rom in the future if you want

Edit: IN2010? Why are you using the Chinese model? Since you have IN2010 unlock the bootloader and change over from Hydrogen OS to OxygenOS, you dont want the Chinese Communists to have an easy way in do you?
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Void_Dragon07:
honestly im on a 5t right now and i was wondering the same thing is root worth it and right now i just really think its not there used to be awesome modules and roms which was out main reason to root but im not moving away from oos cause its just that good and after unlocking you lose widevine l1 certification and google announced that the saftey net bypass will be fixed soon so no more banking apps or even netflix and the only thing i could think of that i gain from rooting was substratum and i think i can live with that the cons just out weight the pros
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] slavke1976:
For me, android is to play, to install custom ROMs, mods, root,...

That is a beauty of android.

[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Unbornlegend123:
I have na in2010 as well but mine came with oxygen OS preinstalled not Hydrogen OS like some people say.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Raiz:
Did the box still had the plastic seal when you got it ?

I bet no, let me explain how things work with OnePlus, Xiaomi, Oppo, and others Chinese phones.

Chinese version of these phones are way cheaper than their US / EU versions, so people in China buy Chinese versions of the phones, flash the phones with the global software and ship it to you. They sell it at an interesting price, and they make a good enough margin since lots of people don't know what the downside of buying Chinese phones.

The downside is that China has its own set of antenna frequencies, so in EU/US you'll probably have issues with 5G, and even 4G sometimes. Most of the seller knowing that downside aren't upfront with it, and let's say it, most of the sellers lie about it, writing it's "Global version", so people think it has all the antenna frequencies... And when people ask if it has antennas compatible with US/EU, they say yes, just because some of the antennas in China are the same internationally. It's dishonest and it works well.

So keep at mind that everytime you have a lower price (like 80$ less or more) and it's not a discount from recognized US or EU sellers (like bestbuy or something), 90% of the time it comes from China.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Unbornlegend123:
It actually was sealed in the box plastic and everything. And very tightly sealed at that so I don't think it was rewrapped. Came with a north american plug in the box to which I thought was kind of weird.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Raiz:
If you got the same plug that the one in the pic, that means it comes from China and they rewrapped the box.

They get more and more organized.

In which region do you live btw ? US, EU, India,... ?

I live in Ontario Canada. And budy I bought it from was Russian

And mine doesn't say warp charge on it like that but still does warp charge

---------- Post added at 06:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 AM ----------

I live in Ontario Canada. And the guy I bought it off of was Russian. Have had no issues with the phone whatsoever yet. Was mint when i got it. And wrapped in same plastic as all the unboxing videos
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Raiz:
Oh ok, good to see you had no issues. The fact that it doesn't says Warpcharge means it's not the official charger, so the box has been opened to replace the original charger.

IN2010 means that it's the Chinese version of the phone, and even though your device has been flashed to global, we can't change the name "IN2010". So every IN2010 are manufactured in China, and shipped with HydrogenOS. And the fact that the charger isn't an official one is the proof that the plastic has been added.

Hopefully you won't have any problem with it :).

I'll advice you to buy the official charger tho sometimes through the official website, because since it's high power charging, unofficial chargers may damage the battery.

Here you can buy it: https://www.oneplus.com/ca_en/product/oneplus-warp-charge-30-power-adapter
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Unbornlegend123:
Actually just double checked the charger and it does have the official branding like yours. So the guy did a good job with it so far. Gave me his personal year warranty saying he will replace it if I have any manufacturing defects. Ie dead spots dead pixels screen burn. And even picked it up from his work place. Went for a walk an came back to the place he met me an hour later and he was behind the counter helping a customer. So I think I found at least a good reseller. Paid 950 cash CAD so still a decent deal. He had the 256 GB version but it was 1075.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Raiz:
Yup that's a pretty nice and honest seller. You'll be fine :).

I warn users usually about the IN2010 model because because my seller forced lies down the throat of all it's customers, pretty bad experience... So I use my experience to prevent people from experiencing that too.

Have a good day ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] lambition:
I just bought unlocked verizon s10e and flashed G970U1-XAA firmware to remove bloat wares and have official samsung experience.

However, "Service provider SW ver." still shows VZW. I learned CSC can be changed with Samkey, but does not want to go that far if there is a easier way or keeping VZW doesn't affect anything like OTA updates and possibly some features/software.

I'm on Cricket.

Will there be a issue with VZW CSC code?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] lambition:
Doing a factory reset changed CSC code for first and second section, showing AIO/AIO/VZW.

Apparently, ODIN updating to XAA firmware with SIM card installed wasn't good enough.

And I just got a OTA update for August 1. So, I guess everything is good for now.
[Samsung Galaxy A20 Questions & Answers] Hax4dayz:
So my friend got an A20 and has a random problem with it. Whenever he locks his phone he can't unlock it and the screen says black. The phone still works but it just won't respond to any of the button inputs (even plugging in power won't help). The only way he can get the phone back is by holding the Power and Volume keys down for about 10 seconds. The volume keys don't work in android but do in recovery?

Has anyone got the same issue as me? Could this be some kind of weird software bug or is it perhaps hardware related?
[Samsung Galaxy A20 Questions & Answers] ninjasinabag:
Do you have an sd card in?
[Samsung Galaxy A20 Questions & Answers] Hax4dayz:
Nope. If need be I can put an SD card in the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy A20 Questions & Answers] ninjasinabag:
No, a common issue with the S9 was slowdown with a memory card in.

I have the same issue you do, but figured it was my card.

Had to do a hard reset on my XZ2 Compact (H8314) and somehow managed to get it all the way back to Android 8! :silly: I'm trying to install the newest ROM (52.1.A.3.49) from Xperifirm but Flashtool is not recognizing my phone. When I go into the drivers, it does not have the H83** lineage of phones listed.

I tried manually syncing devices but it still didn't pull my phone up. I'm currently on 9.28 (most recent build of Flashtool) but have also tried a couple of older versions with no luck.

What do I need to do to get it to recognize my phone?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osiris231:
I have a large external storage device I am trying to work from and need various apps to be able to access the files without transferring them to the internal storage.

My device detects the USB storage and I can view the files individually through the native files app, this doesn't work for me because I need to be able to access multiple files at once.

MiXplorer sees the storage, lists the device in MiXplorer's menu and states it's location as /storage/XXXX-XXXX however when I navigate to /storage it is not listed there. I am unable to access the storage in other apps.

When I have a microSD card inserted in the device it is listed in /storage as /storage/YYYY-YYYY and it is visible for use within any app, how to I get the USB storage to behave like this and be mounted locally within the /storage location so that the files can be viewed in any app?

I am using a Lenovo P10 Tablet TB-X705F on Android 9 and do not wish to root this device.

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help or point me in the right direction!

AFAIK an app can/will only access files on external storage if it's defined in app's Manifest file

Example:

<paths xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<external-path name="name" path="path" />
<external-files-path name="name" path="path" />
<external-cache-path name="name" path="path" />

Thanks for your reply however I would have thought that there shouldn’t be any difference between USB storage and a SD Card with respect to app permissions, please correct me if I’m wrong. The SD card is accessible in all the apps I am in need of use.

Either way it doesn’t appear to be mounting anywhere I can see in the file system. Is there any way to make the USB device accessible like the SD card?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
:confused:

According to Google Android provides two types of physical storage locations: internal storage and external storage. Removable volumes, such as an SD card, appear in the file system as part of external storage. Android by default represents these devices using a path, such as /ext-sdcard, for example.

Wondering what you're really meaning when speaking of USB device and/or SD card?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osiris231:
[MENTION=1890170]jwoegerbauer[/MENTION]

OK, let me clarify and simplify things a little.

My tablet has a microSD card slot, when I insert a card it is mounted to /storage/YYYY-YYYY. Any files that are on the microSD card are accessible through the apps I use, let's keep things simple and use Google Photos. As you can see from the screenshot below I can view the photos and videos that exist on the microSD card from within Google Photos:

[IMG="Google Photos Screenshot"]https://iili.io/d0OwZJ.jpg[/IMG]

I also have an external 480GB USB SSD which I connect through the Type-C USB port on the tablet, the OS recognises the device, I can view the contents from the default files app or in MiXplorer. Here you can see that both the microSD card (YYYY-YYYY) and USB storage (USB SSD) appear in MiXplorer, you can also see it states that it is mounted to /storage/XXXX-XXXX:

[IMG="MiXplorer Menu Screenshot"]https://iili.io/d0Ojja.jpg[/IMG]

Now with both the microSD card in and the USB drive connected, I only see the microSD as available in Google Photos, if I only have the USB in without the microSD card then still I see nothing and if I have both in and navigate to /storage, which is where MiXplorer states the USB drive is mounted I only see the microSD card:

[IMG="MiXplorer /storage Screenshot"]https://iili.io/d0OhTg.jpg[/IMG]

If there's any other points you would like me to clarify or test I am happy to provide the info.
