You should consider using a backup utility (eg. Sprite Backup) to perform a full backup of the device once you're done setting it up. that way, you have a stable base image to restore from should something like this happen again in the future.

Also, it might be a good idea to sync with Outlook or other local synchronization tools to synchronize your database & PIM information to your PC as an error on the hosted website services could render your online data obsolete & inaccessible.

Yes, that's definitely something that should be recommended to all new users. Since I have a SD card in at all times, a program that regularly backs up all my data in the background to the SD card would be best. If I had known about this a few months ago when I started using this phone, I would have been able to hard reset and restore from the backup right when I ran into problems.

I don't use Windows, so I can't sync with Outlook. I wanted to use ScheduleWorld / Funambol to back up my data and then synchronize calendar with Google Calendar and figure out how to synchronize with Thunderbird/Lightning on my computer, but Funambol apparently is responsible for my phone dying.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] masterchop:
hello, I used to be a custom ROM junkie in the past but after some time i got bored and never did it again.

now looking at my current device which i never installed a customer ROM before its quite old as its running Android 8 and i would like to jump to 10 or 11.

I am confident i understand the process but its been a few years and i have some questions:

-for example this is the 1st device i encrypt so i am not sure if this affects.

-the device has no custom recovery so i have to start there but not sure if i have to remove encryption or if its ok.

-Also i would like to see if you have any advice for me or somehting i should pay attention beside install TWRP, format all but storage and install zip file for custom ROM

Thanks
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
You've missed all the fun with the upgrade to OOS 9.

So, you'll need to upgrade your firmware to 9.0.6 because all the latest ROMs require it. Take your time and carefully read https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3t/ho...5-0-8-firmware-barrier-t3941164/post79758055.

You do not need to remove encryption (depending on how you upgrade your firmware).

If you've got a locked bootloader (which I'm expecting you do), them you need to unlock it so that you can flash TWRP. And unlocking will wipe all data from your phone. So backup everything you want to keep to your PC.

If you don't boot into recovery after flashing TWRP and install a patched boot image (see https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/dm-verity-disable-oxygen-os-t3922324/post79357241)or flash Magisk, and reboot your phone, you'll lose TWRP because OOS automatically restores the stock recovery.

So the order is:

1. Backup

2. Unlock bootloader

3. Flash TWRP

3. In TWRP flash patched boot image (remember you're still on OOS 5.x so use the right one!) or Magisk.

4. Have fun moving to a custom rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] AhsanU:
Part of the appeal of the stock launcher is the animations and the seamless use of gestures that are natively found on Android 10. However, what grinds my gears is the inconsistent and blurry icons that are found sometimes on the icons.

See my attached photo - I want to know if Chase is responsible, or is Samsung responsible for this terrible and blurry icon? The Dunkin' app looks terrible too.. Certain icons look great, while some look awful. Even certain samsung icons look blurry (their shop app). Changing DPI doesn't really do anything either.

I'm currently on a hex theme, but even on the stock theme there are blurry icons.

I really wish FNG wouldn't stop working when going back and forth between the cover screen and the main screen, then I'd just enjoy Nova launcher with FNG, but I think we might have to wait until Android 11 where Google removes the issue that doesn't allow apps to truly hide the navigation bar until we can use Nova/3rd party launchers with FNG.

Is it possible to flash oxygen 11 on this device
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] glitchsys:
Doesn't seem like it. The issue as far as I can tell is that this particular model was T-Mobile specific, and 90% of the development from OnePlus is pointed towards the International/Generic version of the OnePlus 7T Pro. The Generic OnePlus 7T Pro doesn't support 5G, but our McLaren edition phones have more Memory, and supports 5G. I think our issue is we're bound by T-Mobile deciding which firmware to pickup from OnePlus, to test with their "QA" department, and then to release to us. OnePlus is fast, T-Mobile... not so much.

I think eventually we'll get it, but T-Mobile needs to load all their bloatware onto it first and then spend 6 months QA testing it, blah blah only to release it with bugs all the while OnePlus has released 2 or 3 updates since then.

That said... our best bet is the small handful of 3rd party developers who are working on this phone, releasing some kind of AOSP based ROM for this phone.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] starcms:
It's already confirmed that we are getting A11. I believe we will also get A12.

The reason there is no "global" or non-T-Mobile ROM available from 1+ for this device is that it was ONLY sold in the US, ONLY sold by T-Mobile, and is the ONLY 7T or 7T Pro variant worldwide with the X55 modem. They were able to get the global ROM on the T-Mobile OP7 because it's modem (and the rest of it's hardware) is the same as the global variants.

I have the OnePlus 6T and just pre-ordered the Pixel 5. Moving to Pixel for software support. Software updates for OnePlus phones; the first 6 months are great, the next 12 just Ok, and rare for the remainder of the device. Flashy specs aren't everything when your software is outdated.

With the recent introduction of new devices to the OnePlus portfolio it's likely their software support will worsen. Samsung has superior device software support to OnePlus.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ghettopops:
Can't agree more about 1+. I've had many of their phones, currently on the 7pro. Once a new model comes out it becomes the focus of their software department and all other models wait. I have plenty of bugs that are just getting old having to deal with. Looking forward to the Vanillaness of P5
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sshariff:
I also have a oneplus 6 atm and there have been several bugs in their updates. Not to mention how buggy their android 10 update was where they eventually halted the upgrade for a few months!

Also their cameras are pretty bad (only the current 8 Pro has a decent enough camera).
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] nhshah7:
Being on ATT in the states, the 8T has no support for 5g. If i'm going to be on this phone for another 2ish years, 5g support is something i definitely want in a device I upgrade to. For whatever damn reason, ATT won't certify oneplus devices to their 5g network :mad::mad::mad:

Also on a OP 6T and agree with everything said above.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rav101:
The sentiments above are the exact reason why I've moved from OnePlus 7Pro to the Pixel 5.

For the non-T variant:

For 6 months after launch your phone is the top dog in terms of software support

After 6 months for another 6 months the T variant launches and whilst support for the non-T variant is still great, you might see a updates for the T variant a week or two ahead of your phone

After a year the next non-T phone comes out and development for your phone slows down to mostly security updates about a month behind when they are launched to the Pixel. New Android update is about 3 to 4 months after the latest OnePlus

After two years you're still getting some updates but barely

Compare that to Pixel and you have every monthly security update, beta of new Android release and new Android at the time they are launched for a good 2-3 years.

The OnePlus 8T absolutely demolishes the Pixel 5 in raw hardware specs but software isn't anywhere near as good in that regard. You can go custom rom but then you're hoping on the good work of volunteers which isn't guarenteed or quality tested at anywhere near the same level as what an OEM can do.

Hopefully it would remove all parts of it from the phone and not just disable it.

(although no 3rd party apps was a very big selling point for OnePlus to me. Not sure I like their recent direction).
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] jcsww:
It removes it from being installed. It is still in the back up factory image that is used to restore the device. Facebook has 3 to 4 components that you will want to remove. An app, such as, Package Info, will show you the names of the Facebook apps installed so you can remove them with ADB.

Edit: This is essentially what you want to remove. Not all of these might be present, but three of them at least probably will be. The pm uninstall -k --user 0 is the command and the rest is each package name.

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.system

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.appmanager

OnePlus will have a better battery, pixels seem to have tiny batteries for some reason.

I've got the 8 pro and it's a decent device. Cannot fault it.

Pixel has a weaker Processor and GPU, if the price is swollen like it has been the last few years then it's an obvious choice

But tbh neither of those phones will disappoint.

For me the OnePlus is the better out of the two, personal preference, plus I'd prefer the faster phone, would be the 8 pro or the 8T.

Bit shameless to not have the latest processor in a pixel.

I was very disappointed with the launch event! Not having an SD865+ isn't a huge deal, but the $749 USD price tag for a device that has less than the Samsung S20 FE 5G really is disappointing. Filling it with all of this bloated Bitmoji and other unwanted junk sure doesn't help either. 12GB/256GB is really the only way it improves over Samsung's cheaper offering that I personally care about. Only two colors as well, is another really disappointing choice by OnePlus. Red should always be a color option for them but the green and grey really don't look too appealing to me.

Price notwithstanding, here is my list of pro's and con's

Pixel 5 pro's:

- Stock Android

- 90 Hz Oled

- Better camera

- Wireless charging (do not care personally)

- Gobal 5G support (I very much like that)

- 3 years updates

- Smaller phone that will fit into most pockets:)

- Batter life is probably good this time (still waiting for the gsmarena review though)

- IP rating

Pixel 5 con's:

- No high end CPU/GPU

- Tinny speakers

- Only 18W charging

- No unbrick tool floating around

- No alert slider

OP8T pro's:

- 65W charging

- Good stereo speakers

- Alert slider

- 120 Hz Oled

- unbrick tool available (just a matter of time)

- High end CPU/GPU

- Likely good battery life as usual

- They no longer install Facebook

OP8T con's:

- Sometimes too big to lug around

- Mediocre camera (a few utterly useless one's too)

- No longer stock Android

- They ditched some native apps like the phone app, nuking my favourite call recorder app along with it

- Only regional 5G support

- No wireless charging

- No official IP rating

- They still install Netflix

Why is everyone so sure the pixel 5 camera is better than the OnePlus 8T.

I mean the pixel 5 still uses a 5 year old sensor!!!
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Probably because Google's camera software is so much better than what OnePlus provides, that it produces a better image than what OnePlus can only dream of coming close to. Even the Pixel camera software produces a better image using the OnePlus cameras than the OnePlus software can. The cameras on OnePlus devices might not be that bad if OnePlus to actually make decent use of the hardware with their craptastic software.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Jeroen1000:
Because the reviews say so. It is more or less public knowledge that OnePlus has issue in the camera department.

All I need is root and edxposed, these days., Custom roms are great, but not at the risk of 5G access, which has expanded in my area woth TMO. So if the TMO 5G version (also ip certified-yeah), has better 5G support I will just buy that one. All this 5G stuff is confusing to me.

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Outside of the 12GB of RAM the OnePlus 8T has. There really isn't much of anything else outside of the 65W fast charging. The Samsung Galaxy FE 5G has wireless charging, reverse wireless charging, expandable memory, better camera picture and video quality, and... is cheaper. They both have 120Hz screens. Whether you like the glass back of the OnePlus or the plastic Samsung. Most people are going to cover it with a case anyway, so that doesn't really matter all that much in my opinion.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Superguy:
If you want to run custom roms, you're generally SOL with Samsung US phones. Locked bootloaders are hugely problematic.

There's supposedly some ways to unlock the S20 US phones, but you have to PM the devs directly, and the FE isn't supported. It may be, once the kernel code is released, according to one of the devs. It's also unclear how much dev love the phone will get, or if it'll run the normal S20 SD roms.

So, if you like to mod your phone, the 8T is the clear winner.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Jeroen1000:
Ah, my bet the TMO version is indeed IP68 certified. So what I meant is that the EU version has about the same LTE-bands as the US version (notable omission is band 71 - important for rural customers of TMO). So for LTE the phone can be considered global (it will likely also work in the rest of the world just fine - a few exceptions are possible). But for 5G, the EU version will not work in the US at all and the other way around. So 5G support is regional.

For TMO specific version, it is worth investigating what it brings to the table regarding TMO specific 5G bands. Note, TMO would even have the option to only allow their "TMO approved devices" based on IMEI blocking. So even if other phones could technically (hardware wise) connect to their 5G just fine, they could still block them. Another caveat is that TMO-specific firmware may be required to connect because it needs, for instance, certain certificates or settings.

TL;DR 5G band support is quite poor, comparable to 4G during its infancy. And 5G is still a bit of a mess.

Apart from the new Pixel 5 and the iPhone (and to a lesser extent Samsung) no one I am aware of is making a global 5G phone at this moment.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] jcsww:
T-Mobile does not block devices on their network unless those devices are stolen or the account they were obtained on goes to collections and the device was never paid off.

It might be possible to convert one device to another firmware because the hardware is the same across all models. The only advantages to buying the T-Mobile version for T-Mobile customers are, 24 month EIP and domestic roaming.. US Cellular specifically does not allow non-T-Mobile devices used by T-Mobile customers to domestically roam on to their network.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Jeroen1000:
No, the radio hardware is no longer the same. There was a time when this was true though. The US variant at least has other RF-front end components to accomodate for the 600 Mhz band 71. For 4G the differences are minimal for US and EU variants but not so for 5G.

Also the Indian and Chinese versions are even more stripped down in the mobile connectivity area.

I do not know if there is a difference between the TMO version vs the US version. Maybe there isn't any.

Take a look here

It applies to the 8T also.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] jcsww:
That's interesting, but the bands supported are almost always software implemented. It has been a long time since I have heard of a device where the traces were cut to limit the radio. I didn't see anything there stating that the traces in Indian and Chinese versions are the reason why. I would guess, like they mention, it just makes it easier to cut down on people importing them at cheaper prices due to Exchange rates and to try and make stolen units sold overseas less attractive to bargain buyers.
