[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] brockyneo:
Biggest thing for me is how white the whites are on the Xperia compared to the S20 it's night and day if the Xperia would get just a few bits brighter I think it would be easily the best display out there
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] tessorodesoto:
I had the xperia 1, and although it was on the dimmer side when in auto, it would go really bright outdoors, as long as you have it in auto. In manual the brightest wasnt enough for outdoor viewing . They do that to prevent extended max brightest from the user.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] brockyneo:
It's mainly when watching hdr videos just wish it went a bit brighter then otherwise outdoor visibility has been fine for me
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] brockyneo:
Well I had the iPhone 11 pro max,S20 ultra,Xperia MK2

And I've decided to keep the Xperia so much better then the other two

So mush faster and smoother it's unreal (might be exynos on the S20)

The display,speakers,software,and dare I say cameras are just so much better on the Xperia :D

Only gripe just wished the display for a bit brighter and high refresh rate but apart from that definitely the better device in my opinion

Oh and the display callabration is asking on the Xperia the S20 looked yellow and no where near as nice considering its ment to be the best display on the market
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] wedeservedit:
Haha I had the S20+ exynos. What a disaster. Xperia 1ii is great
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] y2jdmbfan:
Did you happen to compare to the Pixel 4 XL?
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] mehdi_s82:
Pixel 4 doesn't even get close. Has worse display (except refresh rate), subpar build quality and mediocre camera. I admire it's camera though but that's about it
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] y2jdmbfan:
I was referring to camera. Thanks!
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] mehdi_s82:
Sorry didn't get that. I have compared them side by side and so did some reviewers. Bottom line is in some scenarios Sony does better in some others Pixel. HDR mode is for sure better on Pixel so is quick point and shoot. Overall, 1 ii can take spectacular shots if you master photo pro
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] Mackay53:
Im basing this on the 4XL and I have to disagree. Superior photos from the pixel for a few hundred £ cheaper than the Xperia 1 ii so I'm sending it back. I should of learnt lesson the from the Xperia 1.

After a day's use the screens just look the same but 90hz beats motion blur every time.

Build quality is fine on both, just different materials. Both have their own issues.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] highlightshadow:
Yeah - the Exynos is the reason i ditched Samsung upgrade programme this year and went Xperia.

What i've also noticed is how much nicer it is to have a much closer to google-native Android experience without Samsung duplicating every core app with their own and forcing you to use some of their services rather than what's delivered core.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] steelmm:
I have bought the xperia 1 mkii. I think it's a great phone but has a few issues.

On the latest firmware the xperia seems to loose its WiFi connection when downloading apps with wifi6 asus rog ax11000 routers.

Also some of the older android games are incompatible with the screen format on the xperia. Eg. Duke nukem., army of darkness aoh evil dead.

Still not a deal breaker the xperia screen is great and bright not as bright as the Samsung note s20 ultra. Also the sound is great and is loud

It depends what you like Samsung or Sony and the price of course

I can really say the the realme x50 pro costs half the price of these handsets and is just as good using the snapdragon 865 soc.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Sterosize:
Helly XDA-Members,

i have a 64 GB Pocophone F1 and bought a 128 GB version. So i can use one for testing and the other as a daily driver. I made a full TWRP backup of the 64 GB Version and tried to restore it on the 128 GB version. Then i stuck on a encryption error and wiped accedentely the SYSTEM. So my IMEI is gone and bluetooth, wifi etc, too.

After trying different software tools like QFIL, QualcommIMEIRebuilder or QLM IMEI REPAIR Tool_B19 but nothing helped me out.

Hopefully here is a person who had the same problem or knows how to help me.

At status Quo i have the 64 GB Pocophone working with unlocked bootloader, TWRP, rooted and DerpFest Rom installed. (Working IMEI, Wifi etc.)

and the 128 GB Pocophone with unlocked bootloader, TWRP, rooted and DerpFest Rom, cause the original MIUI ROM only shows the error "NV Data Corrupted" and bootloops to MI Recovery. The xiomi.eu Rom boots directly to Recovery, so i installed the DerpFest ROM which allowes me to fully boot up the Phone. But without Wifi, without EMEI etc.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Sterosize:
[Problem Fixed]

[Solved] Wiped System Stuck on Boot to Mi Recovery with NV Data Corrupted Error

I finally restored the Baseband of my Pocophone F1 and will tell you how I did it.

1. I flashed the latest available Globla Stalbe Fastboot Rom (.tgz File) via Mi Flash or bad.

You get it here: POCO F1 Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File Download

2. Reboot your Phone, then you will start up and it reboot automatically to Mi Recovery after seeing a white loading circle. In the Mi Recovery there as an red Error Message with "NV Data Corrupted"

3. This Error I fixed with this Video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLTrwnf7bFA

Here you have to mention, that you need a QCN File for the Pocophone. All you need is a Poco F1 eng.qcn File.

If this was the real solution i don't know. It could be possible, that i fixed it with making a backup of my working Pocophone 64 GB using TWRP Recovery and make a checkmark at System, System Image, Data and EFS. Then i transferred it to the broken Pocophone 128 GB and recovering it there.

You need to flash TWRP first, cause of the Flash and reboot from the Fastboot from you lost TWRP and only see the Mi Recovery.

4. Now you need to Root your device. I´ve used Magisk, then you reboot completely to MIUI and activate the Developer Mode. And USB Debogging in Developer Settings. The rest i fixed with this Video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b11v41q8d6A

In this Video you See a Tool with uses a Dongle to get licenced. How you get a license or a Dongle with license you have to find out yourself. Maybe there's a way to Cr##k it like an old Video game where you don't have to put in a CD to play the Game ;).

So now i used the IMEI from the Backside of my Pocophone F1 128 GB package and the English QCN File we loaded before.

After a reboot everything works fine and you can call again or use Wifi or Bluetooth.

I am so thankful to the People who helped me in the german Forum. In the fanbase Forum, MIUI Germany you find a german post of this solution. The most credits goes to Raikubl from Advanced It Institute he is the one who made the YouTube Video and helped me out.

Damn i love MIUI so much.

Have a nice Evening.

As I know with rooted smartphone don't working pay service. I guess reason is security. If you found a way to get this service with rooted smartphone - lucky you. But even banks as I know stopping to work if detecting that smartphone is rooted. Anyway I can't understand why need these days to root smartphone even with not stability OS which is not official and only creator know will be any new version of it or not. Smartphones these days have a lot of memory is powerful and most apps they letting to delete or hide it. Why need to modify original stock ROM? For problems with service, because like this one stopping to work and need to find way to get it again. I just can't understand.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] xhobbesx:
Hello all, my mom was charging her phone and woke up this morning to this:

[IMG="phone error"]https://imgur.com/a/d4YXJf4[/IMG]

https://imgur.com/dptscTm

Issue:

SECURE CHECK FAIL : Loaded PIT

ERROR: Device have invalid pit

BOTA : no bota partition

ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)

PRODUCT NAME: SM-G930V

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

FAP LOCK: ON

QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

RP SWREV: B11(2, 1, 1, 1, 1) K11 S11

SECURE DOWNLOAD : ENABLE

This phone was never flashed, never used Odin but still I got she got this screen. Phone will not turn off even after holding power button, it automatically boots and brings me back to the same screen. I can't get into recovery mode or download mode and phone is not recognized on my laptop.

What I've tried:

1) powering off. Did not work and doesn't stay off no matter what i try

2) wait until battery drained but as soon as i plug phone into the charger i get the same error message as the picture above but the samsung logo is replaced with a circle battery indicator and charge will not go up no matter how long i charge. After taking phone off charger and powering off, i get the same issue as 1).

What I suspect:

Honestly, I have no idea but when i took her phone case cover off, the back of the phone and inside the case was sticky so perhaps the phone might have some liquid damage.

thanks for reading and appreciate any feedback.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Hello

The phone may well be water damaged in which case it may not be repaired.

Try leaving the phone to dry it out completely.

Then flash with the latest G930V firmware with Odin.

It does not matter what is on the screen, hold volume down+home+power (in that sequence) to see if its boots into Download mode. If it does then try to flash firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] xhobbesx:
Thank you cooltt, I don't know what I did differently but I got download mode to work after a couple of tries. It kept going back to reset screen for some reason.

I was able to format the phone. Greatly appreciate the help. cheers.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2003_Frost:
So, I recently got a ASUS Zenfone 4 Selfie Pro, the phone is stuck on android 7.1 and doesn't have any roms, nothing, just TWRP. So I'm on a journey trying to build stuff for this device from the ground up, I already made a device tree based on Zenfone 3 (which has the same SoC) and I tried to build lineage/cyanogenmod 14.1 for it and got a lot of kernel errors, so I went to try to compile the kernel from the source ASUS gave on their website and uploaded it to my github. In this past 3 days was able to fix and workaround some of the errors I got while building, but now I'm stuck on this one: https://hastebin.com/iqisuzegeg.coffeescript | any help would be greatly apreciated :) .

For easier access to the kernel source I uploaded it to my github and made some fixes/workarounds for some errors: https://github.com/2003Frost/android_kernel_asus_Z01M_stock

I'm using Linaro 7.5.0 as arm64 toolchain.

I'm using Zorin OS 15.2 as OS.

If any more information is needed I'll be glad to give out.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2003_Frost:
I already tried his kernel and got the same exact error :/

I didn't understand fully what you said with "the manual way" but I'm trying to compile the kernel outside the rom build environment, by using my device's defconfig and compiling with linaro.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2003_Frost:
I accepted your pull request. Yes when you build a rom from source it also compiles the kernel, but I wasn't able to build the rom because it gave me kernel errors, so I went and started compiling separately because it's easier to fix kernel errors like this.

I am not using Google's tutorial, I'm following one that has almost the same steps and I'm using the same toolchain.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2003_Frost:
To compile a kernel from source you need something a cross compiler or toolchain in my case I'm actually using the exact same commands you commented with linaro toolchain/cross compiler (aarch64-linux-android). As far as I know you need that to compile a kernel and I don't think the toolchain is the problem but the kernel itself. I can try another kernel later to see if it compiles.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] S5vsG5:
Luckily I'm using now my S5 Galaxy (G900F) with lineage 16.0 cause my LG G5 (H850) is driving me crazy.

What I did so far:

+Bootloader unlock

+Installed TWRP 3.2.3-2 than an update to 3.4.0

+flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1

+wipe format data and advanced wipe with cache + system

+flashed latest official lineage-17.1-20200705-nightly-h850-signed

The big problem is when I try to shutdown my smartphone its vibrating wild and instead of doing the shutdown its lunching a reboot. Only way to completly shut it down is to remove the battery. Did I miss anything?

Official instructions are not very usefull cause the sideload method didn't work either. I thought because its classified as official that 17.1 is running stable on H850 :rolleyes: If I knew that before I would buy a different smartphone cause Samsung was way more custom rom friendly (had no issues with my S3 LTE and now with my S5). Since 2 weekends I try to fix this issue and read xda postings + user feedback on reddit but sadly haven't found any solution till now.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Aimless Rambler:
Any update?

If coming from stock rom I think you need to format data during the wipe process. Also, I recall reading in order to get 17 working you may need to be coming from Lineage 15 or 16, although I wouldn't swear to it (not currently on lineage). Did you flash no-verity last? Even though you seem to dislike it, I'd recommend troubleshooting within the Lineage 17.1 post.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] S5vsG5:
Thanks for trying to help me out. Sadly I hadn't any luck yet - I will test my micro sd card cause I've read in a different posting that damaged micro sd cards can also cause bootloops.

The whole process to install 17.1 from stock rom seems not very well documented - this is the biggest issue I'm facing at the moment actual it's more like a try and error thing which realy sucks. Do you know if these bootloops are maybe logged in a file somewhere? I guess in this forum are enough tech people who can deal with such log files and can tell me whats going wrong.

I can't post my problems somewhere else (restricted to Q&A part of the forum) cause I'm a newcomer so forum system is giving me some restrictions.

I had bootloop problem with lineage-17.1-20200712-nightly-h850-signed.zip on my H850 although no problems with the previous build (20200705 ) installing today.

Following : wiki.lineageos.org/devices/h850/install/ was clear and straight forward for me.

- unlock bootloader

- install TWRP

- sideload Lineage + open Google apps

I bought a fresh LG data cable and setup a complete fresh Linux Mint installation on my notebook. In TWRP I followed your tutorial (wiki.lineageos.org/devices/h850) and did fullwipe followed the tutorial here to install adb tools on Linux and was able to sideload "lineage-17.1-20200719-nightly-h850-signed.zip". Sideload succeeded (confirmed on linux terminal and TWRP). After sideload I did reboot and I got configuration menu from lineage. After skipping most of the config steps I did reboot and AGAIN BOOOOOOTLOOOOOP :rolleyes: no complete shutdown.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] S5vsG5:
can be closed solution was first flashing Android 8 stock rom with uppercut (H85030f_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1122.kdz) than flashing custom rom based on Android 9 (lineage-16.0-20200811-X86CPU-h850 - thank you to the author) and than I was able to flash official lineage 17.1 than bootloop was suddenly fixed. Each time after flashing I just did normal wipe (confirming with yes).

official tutorial completly sucks:

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/h850/install

-> sideload is not necessary and when you come from older Android Version you have to flash Lineage 16 before (no evidence and no image in download section).

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sym1:
My husband and I both have a stock N910T. When we woke up yesterday neither phone would get signal, and not even make wifi call. Went to TMo shop today they told me that they were no longer sending signal to Note 4's (Thanks for the heads up TMo). We really like these phones and I wonder if I could root them and flash a stable ROM and get service on them again. When I pull the sim it shows 5 bars, put the sim back and X. I have rooted many phones, but not since I got this one 6 years ago, so I'm sure I'm a bit rusty.

Any advice highly appreciated. TIA

What I don't understand is how they can just stop supporting a phone. I thought that if it accepts the sim card and has the proper bands it'll work. I mean for ****s sake my car takes a tmobile sim for a hotspot and traffic updates.

same exact. i just factory reset and updated stock to see if it would fix but it wont. Any solutions here??
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w41ru5:
Try to:

a. flash a custom TWRP (recovery) with Odin

IMPORTANT - after you flash TWRP PLEASE TAKE A FULL BACK-UP!

b. flash a custom ROM with root

c. why root? because you can change the build.prop file and "pretend" to be another phone (newer more likely) so that the lovely t-mobile can still allow your phone to connect to the network.

This way you have zero costs, you keep your note 4.

Unless it's too complicated or the procrastination level is TDH (too damn high) :)

Or you have the cash and buy something new(er).

There's info on this forum about all these steps.

Before you do anything - go and read, search on this forums and on youtube. There are a LOT of tutorials.

Please be careful and READ. Get educated about custom recovery/ROM's.

You will get good knowledge and your satisfaction on make things work will be enormous.

You will be responsible on your actions with the phone.

Good luck.
