[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vmlinuz1:
I asked Google (well, whoever is doing the reward fulfiilment for them) about this before the phone shipped - they told me that if I ordered the phone from Amazon UK I would have to ship the reward to a UK address, which I took as accepting international shipping as long as I had a valid UK address for the reward. They came back after I submitted the claim and asked for a VAT receipt - which I don't have, because part of the point of shipping it to me in Hong Kong was not to pay VAT!

I noticed yesterday there there is a question (and answer) in their FAQ saying that international shipping isn't acceptable. I don't know if they've added that, but there's definitely nothing in the formal terms and conditions about either that, or anything to do with residency - it just says you must have a valid UK shipping address, which I do. I'm a UK expat, I paid for it with my UK debit card, and I asked for the reward to be sent to my UK correspondence address (i.e. my parents).

I guess I'm going to get denied, which is pretty annoying.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] thesebastian:
Yeah before the order, I read the terms and it was mentioning something like individual older than 18 that has a UK or Ireland address and is not a Google employee.

(I also bought the Pixel 2 in Google Store UK because they decided to sell only the XL variant in Spanish Google Store 3 years ago, and this went without a problem. But that time I shipped both things to the UK address and from the Google Store.).

So to me it looked like Google just wanted to get rid of professionals trying to abuse the deal, and also complains about them not shipping the headset to another European country. (Which seems really fair to me).

But no. It seems that they also doesn't want to give pre-order gift to some real customers that are currently located elsewhere.

They should had put in the terms "If you ship the phone outside UK or Ireland the pre-order gift claims will be denied" to make it really clear. But I guess stuff like that would give them more problems and raise more questions, like "why?".

Regarding the VAT. In my case I didn't got the VAT removed by Amazon. Because I was shipping inside the EU (UK still inside, so it didn't went through custom).

I might try another claim later. Sending less stuff. (I sent them the IMEI in the phone screen + IMEI in the Box. You know. Extra information just in case).

Anyway. Let me know how it goes!

They never sent me a confirmation of the reject. Not even to spam folder. So daily check the status manually just in case.

(Off-topic spoiler)

Yeah. I have this same feeling. This is why I won't pre-order anymore until the thing changes. I'm really disappointed.

I mean if you buy from Google Store. It is shipped from Ireland with UPS so I never understood why they exchange the countries every year. They could ship to most EU countries without a hassle.

The worst part: If you buy now a Pixel 4 from Google Store paying 759€ + shipping. It will also be shipped from the same Irish warehouse where they are currently shipping the Pixel 5. Which is hilarious.

This year I think they exchanged Spain+Italy with France. (I think France didn't got love from Google a year ago). While I'm really glad for the France' residents, I completely dislike Google way to sell their phones.

The Google Store is currently present and shipping devices in 14 European countries. I just don't understand why the main Pixels are not just sold, at least, in the 14 Google stores that currently receive stuff from Ireland anyway.

They should be expanding to more countries, not shrinking. I think this is a step back Vs the Nexus times. (But not that really different honestly, the scope was also small and a lot of countries left behind).

Dear Experts,

I had found a old Mi Note 5A and I have Root the same twrp and installed LiLineage_ugglite (lineage-17.1-20200723-UNOFFICIAL-ugglite) and installed GAPPs (open_gapps-arm64-10.0-pico-2020080). The phone is working fine so I decided to give this to my daughter and am trying to install the Google Family Link to monitor her travel and Screen time (As this is only Free App)

I tried high and low but it cannot be installed. I come to the screen when user need to give permission and then when click on next it show me direclty the message "Cancel Supervision Setup" This is a required step. if you leave, you will have to start again. And then it has only the option Back and Start Again.

I have tried many time but I am stuck in this screen only. :(:confused: I seek some help from the team to install and advise how can I by pass the screen and add the permission so that I can install the App and pass the phone to her.

If we cannot please advise some free app which we can monitor her movement and also block apps and sreen time. I like the option to block the screen remotely to stop them using the screen to long.....

Please help.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] John Scott:
Hi,

Its still under one year warranty from Samsung. Ive traveled 300km to a repair center but they ended up just updating the system software and say there is nothing wrong with the phone. I swear it is so terrible slow that it really pisses me off!

I have nearly used it for a year. Maybe I should sell it, and go for another brand since Samsung has screwed me many times before. Does anyone know if the Pixel 5 is a good phone? Though I heard they will use samsung chips.

At the repair centre they also said it is impossible to revert back to android 9. Is this true? Such a pity, I liked the s9+ very much on android 9 and have bought lots of accesoires.

Info:

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ShaDisNX255:
I've tried a few OTA updates and it did end up making my phone a bit slower. After a complete wipe and flash using Odin, all my problems were gone. I even noticed that apps tended to stay longer in RAM, go figure lol. Probably because I don't have as many apps installed as I used to back before I flashed the phone, that's why it's probably going a lot faster now xD
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] John Scott:
They already did twice at the Samsung Repair centre and Dynafix. They said all fine.... but its so frigging slow lol

Honestly I dont care about breaking warranty anymore, i just want it working back as it did on A9. Want to revert to android 9 so much. If I sell it I am lucky if only getting 200eur back for it.... with all accesoires I paid like 800 euro (gearvr etc). So its a big loss.... hoping I can get back to android 9 somehow and enjoy the phone again.

Hello, guys!

I created Magisk Module which allows you to install original MIUI Launcher on POCO X2. I used latest alpha-build. So, who wants fresh animations, switching between apps gesture and animated icons and you are on stock ROM (Magisk required), you can install it easily. Everything works fine. After installing you can choose between POCO Launcher and MIUI Launcher in settings, because this module installs MIUI Launcher next to original one, not replacing it.

[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] PufferDude:
I'm using Huawei P8 Lite 2017, with Resurrection Remix Custom Rom by Haky86, on Android Nougat.

I was hesitant to upgrade before (2017) because at that time, many phones were bricked trying to upgrade to Oreo.

There were also some Vendor complications (China & Europe) for custom roms in Oreo.

I remember there were Partitions A & B? I didn't know what were those about.

I also still remember a warning to not use the most up to date version of our Stock Oreo Rom for our phone when trying to install the default stock rom for treble support.

I still have my bootloader unlock code, bootloader is unlocked, rooted, I've also watched a YouTube video how to upgrade using TWRP.

All I need now is some assistance with what not to do, some links to point me in the right direction, some info with what I've missed during these years like is TWRP still the main recovery? Or something I should take note of.

[P8 Lite (2017) Discussion] PufferDude:
Wait, nevermind. I remember that it was only necessary since those versions were the only ones with Oreo updates before.

But now, PRA-LX2 has an Oreo update already, so it's not necessary to rebrand :D

OK, I've used the actual rom image to make this simple flasher. This is cmonex flashing tools, and olipro nbh maker, using the rom provided by taopaipai.

Just unrar, make sure you are hard spl-ed, and run the romupdateutility.exe AS AN ADMIN.

It should flash nicely, an you will get the new rom.

Be carefull: I'm just providing a way to flash the rom, I don't know how to help people in distress, and if you didn't apply HARD SPL from cmonex, it won't work.

I take no responsability, and something goes wrong, I'm sorry for you ;-). It worked for me.

Known bug from the rom: headset doesn't work (if it works, please report). Sound works though.

EDIT: ok I found how to get sound to headset. Just plug the headset in and reset snapvue side. If the high pitch sound appear, just reset it again.

I guess this is the workaround for now. Hoppefully someone find something better. At least you don't have to reboot vista.

does the headset jack works on vista?
[Shift Development] janstan:
I found the cause of the high pitch sound. This occurs when you start vista while charging the shift. To start it without annoying sound simply unplug the shift then boot vista if you have your headset plugged the sound will only go through the headset and if it's unplugged then you plug it in after you boot up vista it wont work. The sound will only come out of the first device recognized when vista boots. I'll try and find a way to fix this issue. Maybe restoring the shift to factory refaults is the key but we'll see. I'll do a back up when I get home then reformat my shift. I'll keep you guys posted on the results.

Yess...what's your RADIO version ?

If you have installed the Canadian ROM on a European device, you will :

1 - Have the ROM Version 1.30.453.0 WWE

2 - Have the Radio ROM still on 1.58.21.23

3 - Have a annoying hissing sound from WinMo at many times, sometimes able to stop it.

please tell us your Radio Version (from settings-device information) (The settiings button from SnapVue, not the settings from the liberated part.

If your RADIO version is different I would really like to hear the version, and also, a dumped RADIO ROM would be nice.. so I'd be able to flash just the radio and see if it's helping us at all.
