[General Questions and Answers] studentdriver666:
Hi to all,

I want to let you all know that the site that was mentioned above (getdroidtips) is misleading and could potentially brick your phone.

I have a Meizu M6T smartphone ( build M811H ) , bought it new 2 years ago in Europe.

Meizu M6T M811H

GSM baseband version : MOLY.LR11.W1630.MD.MP.V29.P31

CDMA : SIXTH.CBP.MD.MP5.V34_P7

and I've tried to upgrade to Flyme 7, however, the update they've referencing is I think a ROM from/for a different device ( doing search I found out that there are at least some localized version of M6T - which I think is a model of M6T that's selling in India and China only and is called Meizu 6T )

My personal opinion is that this budget phone is pretty much sturdy and capable, but lacks of proper company and community support, not so available parts ( or should I say very low quality are only able to find) and excessive amount of bloatware, made it obsolete little quicker.

Read and learn from my experience,

I’ve downloaded the update.zip from the link and installed as supposed using the steps .

After the update finished installing – I was welcomed by new start screen and I immediately noticed that phone runs much faster and much smoother.

However there are some issues with the update –

1. After the update, baseband isn’t working – it’s version is displayed as Unknown in the System settings. Same goes with both SIM card slots – the IMEI is displayed as null. Neither one SIM worked after the update.

2. Second thing I’ve noticed is that the actual name of the phone is now Meizu 6T. Not M6T, which makes me wonder if this actual update is from the another device. The listed ROMs on the official Meizu site doesn’t contain Flyme 7 version for the M6T ( not even the betas, which the update is – a beta version )

3. The third and most annoying thing is – even if this update installs Flyme 7 on the phone, it is still an Android 7 version, not Oreo. This phone never shipped with Oreo, it shipped with Flyme 6 and Android 7.0 Nougat. This update only installs Flyme 7, not a Android 8 OREO version.

I’m writing this because there is absolutely zero support on the XDA community for this model and the link above on GetDroidTips will probably cause you baseband not working and getting phone pretty much unusable ( I’ve stopped after base band issue, who knows what else doesn’t work ).

The procedure can be reversed by installing the previous 6.3 update from the Meizu site, but even after I’ve downgrade it, I experienced some weird behavior, additional bloated software and WIFI works weird and I needed to swap the SIM cards so they could work - and who knows what I'm to experience in next couple of days.

So I’m not sure if I would go after this if I knew what outcome may it bring.

If anyone had successfully updated the ROM - please share with us and let us know where did you purchased the phone, what version are you using and what baseband and GSM/CDMA versions were you on before etc.

Kind regards,

Pete
[General Questions and Answers] Linaxx:
Hi Pete!

[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] blinkt88:
Get this version somewhere on internet and install it. I hear somewhere dark mode is in beta stage and not yet possible get in all countrys for testing

You can try in play store enable developers option to get early access version of FB app

But first try this version btw if you have a same version than thats means your country is not yet have access to dark modeView attachment 5133169

[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] exodus394:
The option is related to accounts,not Facebook app version. If the option is in pending for your account,try this(worked on my P40 Pro and on my P30 Pro too,with two accounts): log out of Facebook(menu from upper right side,scroll down until you see the option to log out). Then clear cache of Facebook app(only cache,not data),then turn off phone without signing in back into the app. Let the phone turned off for a minute,then turn it back on,log in to Facebook,go to settings and privacy and the option for Dark mode should be there,just under "your time on facebook". Might work with force close too,but turning off the phone closes all the services used by facebook for sure(at first I tried reboot,but it only worked on both phones when I turned off the phone,I'm not sure why).

[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] ahmed.shehata:
I own the latest version of Facebook

Can you send the application in this version from your own phone
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] exodus394:
Like I said...it worked on two accounts,on two different phones,but because most probably the option was already pending for the accounts. It should appear in settings and privacy,between "your time on Facebook" and "Language".
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] ahmed.shehata:
But I did the same steps

I did all the required steps, but this option did not appear, it may not be available in my country
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] ahmed.shehata:
It was activated in the binary application, not in the main one, and it was also activated in the Facebook application in the private area
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] exodus394:
Yeah. It's related to accounts. I just tried with a friend and it worked for him too...before trying this,he didn't have the option too. But we are from Romania...so definitely it only works to "rush" the option only if it is available for your area. It's not magic...it's only a re-login after a short while and clearing the app cache. If you just reinstall the application it doesn't have the same effect,because you are still logged in the server...so logging out is better.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] ahmed.shehata:
I logged out more than once and restarted the phone, but the option was not activated on the main account, but it was activated on my other accounts

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] MikesDroid:
I'm a noob when it comes to flashing Roms. I've never flashed a custom ROM before, only AT&T's WM6.0 upgrade when that first came out.

I have an 8525 and want to flash ROMeOS v4.21 onto it. I know I need Hard SPL which I downloaded (Hard-SPL-V7.zip). I downloaded this file http://rapidshare.com/files/136228827/_ROMEOS_421_ROM.ZIP, but now I'm not 100% sure what to do here. Do I need to download anything else? Did I even download the right thing? I downloaded it from here... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=411692

Could somebody hold my hand and help me out a bit? What exactly is the next step. How do I flash this ROM onto my 8525 now w/o bricking my phone?

I appreciate all the help, and plan on paypaling the creator of this rom, and hopefully somebody who helps me out w/ flashing the rom as well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] veyka:
Make sure that the rom is for Hermes (HTC's name for your phone), never seen that one before.

Best bet is to read the wiki, here

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes

If you have any other questions, post again, and ill try to answer
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Wam7:
That ROM is for the Kaiser. You WILL brick your phone if you try to flash that to your 8525 (Hermes)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] MikesDroid:
Okay I'm glad I asked...After I flash a Hermes ROM on my 8525, maybe I'll flash this rom on my Tilt.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
cool, just don't use the Hermes Hard SPL on your Kaiser...;)

OK, since it's not getting a UK launch, I've found a company I can buy Mate 40 Pro+ from, but I'm finding scary stories about buying a chinese (rather than UK) phone -

"Updates will be OTA, however you may not receive updates correctly as you will be using a UK SIM, not a Chinese SIM" and others!

I have no experience of ever buying a non-UK, sim free phone. I really need to know all the pitfalls or possible difficulties, and I need them spelled out in simple terms - don't judge :o :confused: :o

Any help really appreciated please as I need to decide if this is a go or beyond me.

Thanks, Stewart.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Sathelp:
You do get a lot of Chinese apps, most you can remove or disable but you will get Chinese feeds and you may not be able to change some system apps languish.

They are usable, I have had many, OTA updates work fine, in fact you get more updates on China versions than others. The Chinese apps like music and video player do tend to be Chinese oriented rather than global, so best to use 3rd party versions.

I would suggest buying from a good dealer, Wondamobile will pick up import duty as some others may but you may get stung for duty from some stores.

Is there any command I could use to automate the enabling of force override dark mode:

but doesn't seem it is there:

$

The device is an harpia (moto-g 4 play). I am using lineageOS.

I am doing this just because I'm curious. I don't know, could be useful for someone who is developing a automatic night mode or whatever but I just have some bug on my custom room (lineageOS 17.1) that it gets disabled after reboot and I would like to automatically run that after boot. So I just got curious with how to change developer settings through script and I just need to know what to run to set that on/off.

Another small question. Why the settings command only work as root?

Last night I got a popup saying that my storage memory was low. it was at .05mb. I thought this was a bit low, but I went and deleted some stuff and got it up to 5.5mb. I then actually watched the memory count down to .01. I dont know if this is a virus or what. I tried to use sprite but it didnt work, also there is an icon was added to my HTC launch page, looks like a piece of paper witha windows symbol.

try clearing the browser's cache. the same thing happened on my old ppc even though I know I didn't have much installed, but clearing the cache fixed it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] thelaserman:
I dont think it was the cache that was the problem but i could be wrong, i kept deleting stuff and nothingi did worked. Also when i hooked it up to sync it just kept cycling through the sync.

Needless to say i just did the hard/doft reset back the the beginining. Now I have to decide whether or not to reinstall all the programs or flash the rom
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NotATreoFan:
Are you using a cooked or stock ROM? A lot of cooked ROMs will contain fixed-size page pools, and while they are great for performance, they tend to have memory leaks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] thelaserman:
i am using a the stock rom
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NotATreoFan:
None of the programs you listed are known for causing memory leaks, so I would reload all of them as usual, and see if the problem returns.

It may have just been some registry corruption causing it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JimmyMcGee:
Well Windows is know to cause Memory issues.

Best thing I can recommend is a Hard Reset and Restore all your programs.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] scotchua:
I see you're using Garmin XT, now i don't use that program, but does it download maps? I know that most mapping programs can chew through memory like you wouldn't believe. I use all the other programs and have never run out of memory before...of course truth be told, i've never left a rom on for very long either...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
Send an email to Samsung, I'm doing the same. This is ridiculous that a Flag-ship phone that costs $1500 has ESIM disabled for USA models
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
You're an intelligent lad, why do you think Samsung did this ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
My guess would be carrier pressure, but then they're not an up and coming startup cellphone manufacturer so if Google and Apple can have ESIM enabled, they should do it as well.

Also they promised ESIM in future update for S20 USA model which has not yet happened with no explanation from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
It's carrier pressure, they did this to appease their major usa carrier clients. Whereas Apple stuck a middle finger at them. Oneplus eventually did the same and enabled dual sim functionality, but they are small fish in sales volume in the NA market compared to Samsung.

Unfortunately like you mentioned the s20 still hasn't got dual sim functionality and I very much doubt that they ever will. All eyes will be on the next generation S series for the NA market, in relation to their stance on this matter.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
True, I hope with more people voicing their opinion regarding ESIM directly to Samsung, they'll change their stance.

We got them to do it to unlock bootloader a few years back at least for a few years that was going well so let's hope this will work...

[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Guides, Ne] mrhamed:
Thank you for start trying run magisk :good:

I didn't test patched boot-image, but when you can't boot, it maybe related to "vbmeta"

It seen nvidia don't like to provide root access to customers! because it remove vbmeta_skip.img from official 8.2.0-dev_rooted.zip package.

So may be you should try flash vbmeta_skip.img to achieve successful boot.

I attached vbmeta_skip.img from 8.1.0-dev_rooted.zip for you.

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_skip.img

I suggest keep testing on @Steel01 LOS releases. If we achieve an stable custom rom open-source, it's much much better than vendor release! I prefer freedom vs AI-Upscaling.

I have been using phones with OLED screens since the Note 4, and I've never had a problem with them. I got the Note 20 Ultra on Saturday and it seems to really be bothering my eyes, making them hurt and tired, etc... I'm not sure what's going on. I have heard about the whole PWM issue that some people have with OLED screens on phones. I am coming from a Note 8 that flickered at a different frequency than this phone. Has anyone here had any eye issues with this phone? I just can't look at it for very long without my eyes getting uncomfortable.

Today I fixed my old phone (galaxy s6 edge plus) by exchanging the battery myself (ty youtube). I wanted to do so to get back some old pictures from a brighter time & to maybe check if I still have logged in on some accounts there. I am pretty sure my fingerprint is still in the system but since its rebooted I have to use the pincode again.. Its been 3 years and I tried every combo I could think of but no success..
