[LG G8X ThinQ Accessories] zombieryder:
ive tried 5 different chargers but this phone does not charge more than 10w on any chargers QC 2.0, 3.0 AND 4.0+ usb AtoC CtoC tested on usb tester. it will spike to 13w maximum then go stable 10w all the way. Can anybody test on their phone to confirm this? ive tried these chargers on xiaomi and realme phone they would charge upto 17w
[LG G8X ThinQ Accessories] snizams:
Please try the Lcare charger mentioned in this thread. It is taking 1 hr and 40 mins which I feel is very good. I am using my ASUS Zenfone 5z charger which is taking about 3 hours to fully charge
[LG G8X ThinQ Accessories] johnybravojr:
Please don't order FCS screen protector. Their listing is misleading, and the product is below average. There is no return policy for it either. The Flipkart tempered glass also has very bad reviews. So, for now, we are left with nothing....
[LG G8X ThinQ Accessories] lefttobleed:
I just installed the fcs screen guard. They are very good. Only corner radius are little off. It is best for people who want a non edge to edge and non glass screen protector. I dont think you will get a better fitting screen guard for this phone.

It does catch some smudge though.

Maybe some people are getting defective pieces.
[LG G8X ThinQ Accessories] shrek8421:
Can you close the device with dual screen and both screen protectors applied?
[LG G8X ThinQ Accessories] lefttobleed:
Yes.

After few days of use, the down side of this protector is that it is catching too many smudges and fingerprints.
[LG G8X ThinQ Accessories] hardshock:
Could you install Accubattery and then charge it from 0 to 100 and share the screenshot from the app. That would really help many people in buying this charger.

Lcare charger for LG g8x

It is very surprising that the Lcare charger can charge 0-100% in 1 hr 28 min or 1 hr 40 min. Based on this info, I ordered this charger though I have LG original charger. Will update charge statistics once done.

I also tried below options.

LG charger 16.2W (9V 1.8A)

Huawei super charge 40W

One plus dash charge 20W (5V 4A)

Geek cases QC 3.0 charger 19.5W (6.5V 3A)

Ambrane PD power bank 22.5W (9V 2.25A)

All are taking 1 hr 41 min from 20 to 100% with optimized charging toggle on (as I don't discharge battery below 20% to have longevity). A full recharge from 0 to 100% with all above options is taking 2 hr 12 min with or without dual case.
[LG G8X ThinQ Accessories] snizams:
I bought this directly from Lcare. Received a defective product. It was not charging on any of the 3 ports. Shared them a video and they agreed to send a replacement, but asked me to bear the courier charge. I said no as it was not my mistake. Finally they agreed, but yet to arrange a pickup and send me a working piece. If I had bought it from Amazon, replacement would have been hassle free. If you are planning to purchase this looking at 2 year warranty, please be aware of their return policy. I cant comment on the product quality now as I am yet to use it
[LG G8X ThinQ Accessories] johnybravojr:
I particularly emphasized about them misleading us with words like "impossible armour". It is at best a scratch guard, and is NOT a tempered glass/impossible armour. This will NOT suit you if you're looking for shatter-protection. Having said that, the 'gorilla glass' on my device developed a 'crack' superficially without any obvious impact or a fall, which anyway might not have been prevented by this product. A tempered glass would have absorbed any impact and saved the glass. I'm really pissed off with the so-called MIL-STD Certification. Just another lie and a marketing gimmick!!
[LG G8X ThinQ Accessories] lefttobleed:
Well people with experience with these products know what they are getting. Obviously it is not impossible armour. And if you see how it is bent in images, obviously it is not tempered glass. I like these types more as they are thinner than glass and yes they also provide good protection to the screen. This one is cheap so is not perfect. Too many smudges. I am going to replace it.

Also you must be just unlucky, i had a g7 before this with same mil specs and i have dropped it many times and no damage. I have also dropped without cover.

You should ask them for replacement of defective piece.
[LG G8X ThinQ Accessories] johnybravojr:
Try the Matte finish protector from the same vendor. It's Rs.100 more than the regular one.

As for replacement, I don't think they would cover a cracked glass under warranty.
[LG G8X ThinQ Accessories] lefttobleed:
Dont like matte. Reduces display quality. Have no option but to try tempered glass. Not much choices for our phones.

Well since you did not drop it, maybe you can convince them to replace it. There must be no dents on the body. It is a long shot, but can try if u have the time for useless back and forth and fighting with them.

But actually good heads up for us. Maybe lg did not make this model well....

Lcare charger

I ordered from Amazon and tested it. It is taking same time as LG 16.2 W charger. I am still not able to believe how 0 to 100% has taken 1 hr 28 min or 1 hr 40 min for @ cmpugay.

I am returning it as there is no difference in charging as it is still taking 2+ hrs. It took 2 hr 14 min to charge from 4 to 100%. I am not able to post attachment of Accubattery pro.

You can adjust max video quality in the settings of the app. Definitely best viewing experience on the fold so far for YouTube. The app itself leaves a bit to be desired, however and I've found best to use YouTube Vanced for sharing content to this app as required.

This is a great player, I like how you can set the screen zoom and playback speed, also the on-screen volume and brightness.

[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] TimTaylorX:
Hey guys :)

i live in switzerland and now i got my hands on a pixel 5. Now I had to find out that Google is doing something stupid and certifies mobile operators for 5G.

Swisscom apparently has no certification, but 5G runs and works flawlessly with the Mi 10 Pro.

Is there any way to turn off this junk so that 5G simply works with every provider?

Thanks for your help :D
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Signor Rossi:
Are you using DualSim? I've read somewhere that in this case 5G is off

Gesendet von meinem CMR-AL09 mit Tapatalk
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] TimTaylorX:
No im not using dualsim. Even on Network search no 5g network is found ?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] balenax:
It's Google's fault, indeed, I can't use 5G in Romania either. I'm waiting for a while, maybe they'll just allow us, from the countries where they don't sell official their phone, to use the full capabilities.

If they don't I'll just root and I'll do it myself, but I think Google will eventually unlock the 5G connectivity, it's hurting their "official" customers by not being able to roam on 5G or use their phone with a local sim when needed.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] lks125:
I am having the same problem in HK. Won't use 5G. If the Pixel 5 is rooted, doe it mean it will be able to use 5G?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] balenax:
It's a similar problem on OnePlus 8, I think. We need to edit a file, carrier policy, and the phone will then allow 5G connections. The problem here is that on OnePlus you can retrieve the file from the phone without root, with a Qualcomm software, and then put it back, edited, with the same software. On Pixel that program isn't working so I assume the only way to access and edit that file is by rooting.

I don't want to root yet, I'm waiting a while. First of all to find out an official answer about the software shipped with the phones in Europe, a presumably KDDI Japan version and second, to see if Google doesn't fix the problem, since there are way too many people affected.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I'm from mainland China. I've ordered a Pixel 5 and just realized that it doesn't support 5g in my country! What a shame Google permit 5g for only specific carriers and block out others, while the hardware of P5 is 100% capable for supporting almost every carriers around the world!

Wondering if Google can see this post and fix that problem via ota.:confused:
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] joeyzhou521:
emmm

I suggest you go to the official forum with the post feedback, Google has seen a lot more than XDA.

[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Slorks:
Same problem here in the MENA region. Same with oneplus 8 series and Nord. I have a 5G sim and carrier but with these phones including Pixel 5 it's blocked. I don't want to root. It's really stupid even VoLTE is blocked here. (Kuwait)

BUT, under wifi and network in settings , there is no 5g where *lte 3g 2g* are.

I guess the above poster is right

Edit. I live on the east coast of PA usa and earlier this was the case.. I just checked again, I have 5g as an option. FYI anyway.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ivan93tm:
Here Italy, i ordered it from Gemran store hoping to have compatibility with vodafone since vodafone DE has already certification to work with 5G network but still nothing, i tried to flash the RD1A.201105.003.C1, Nov 2020 that is global but no working 5g connection.

I hope in a future update because my sim in OnePlus nord work well in 5g and i get about 400Mb speed that is amazing in italy, with 4g i get 130Mb.

Contacted vodafone support and they said it's a phone problem so I think maybe with december update Google wil resolve (ps in software i have the option to select 5g preferred network but never get attached to 5G where the OnePlus Nord get 5G)

Can You tell me please why not to use LineageOS own recovery which is automatically build during ROM building procedure anyhow?

I just use TWRP because it's fully featured

I always use TWRP, the lineage receovery probably works fine :

Fastboot reboot recovery

But I prefer TWRP because of it's nice UI and stuff
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] toscha42:
That's where I struggle already! :)

However, I really appreciate your approach of looking into LineageOS for Mi 9. I'm a fan of LOS for many years, my previous device OP 2 in the meantime runs under LOS 18.0. Although I'm quite satisfied with Paranoid Android for my Mi 9 I'd give LOS immediately a look once it's stable enough for daily usage.

Cheers

I haven't noticed any instabilities yet.

I compiled it with private keys, then i'll try for one week. If i like it, i might apply for official device maintainership
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] toscha42:
It's not so much about instabilities. In the early days when Cosmin still was building LOS 17.1 for Cepheus I used it on a daily basis. But I had to stop using it when - can't remember when - NFC didn't work any longer on my device. It was still working for most of the others but I also wasn't the only one with that defect. Never had it since with PAQ though.

Thank you very much for this guide and it would be awesome if you apply as an official device maintainer.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] photonmedia:
This is a nice, concise guide.

FYI, you should be able to use the -c flag when you do repo sync to only grab the current branch-tree. And if you have a good Internet connection, the -j flag will allow for multi-thread downloads.

These can speed up the overall process significantly (and save on overall bandwidth).

ie.

repo sync -j2 -c

I am testing a compile now using your device trees for the first time so I will let you know how it goes.

Nice work!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] photonmedia:
Latest build compiled with this great guide.

Good Source Trees. I've been having difficulty building from Demon000's trees the past week due to library issues.

Uploading to Mega now. I'll post a link in the morning to anyone who wants a fresh build of DRG-Developer's cepheus build without doing the work. lol

Haven't flashed yet but will try it out this weekend.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] DRG-developer:
IIRC repo sync automatically decides how many threads it can use. Though now you say that, i did use -J12 (for faster resolving delta's) I'll add that, thanks! I didn't know about -c, so i'll add that as a side note

Thanks!

Latest Build: 2020-10-30

I've compiled from DRG's personal mirrors. Compilation was successful without error.

I have not yet flashed it because I'm going to be in need of my daily for the next day or two but if anyone wants to give it a shot it's HERE on Mega

I assume you will need to have flashed the latest XIaomi FW for Android 10 prior to flashing this build. If you get bootloops that drop you back at TWRP eventually, that is likely the issue.

DRG-Developer gets all credit as this is built form his mirrors. I merely compiled it.

I've never had that issue with any of my LineageOS builds that I have done previously using Demon000/Markakash trees.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pecha2k:
I have the same problem
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] photonmedia:
For those having issues with NFC, I recompiled again. This should be the same build as before since the sources on Github have not been updated since 10/18. But I did notice recently when compiling a new build there were a few 403 timeout errors on the repo sync process and one was related to the NFC source files.

I'm not sure if dirty flashing the OTA would resolve or if you would need to flash the full ROM. Here are links to both.

***Disclaimer: I have not yet tested this to see if it resolves NFC issues, but sync and compile completed without error. FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK and always MAKE SURE TO HAVE A BACKUP!***

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jehonan:
Can You please explain us/me how to make this ROM google certified without using Magisk or similar tools?! My intention is to make google certified and flashable ROM with included minimal needed set of google apps.

Is something like this even possible? Thank You!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] photonmedia:
I do use Magisk to make it certified. You have to use MicroG, Magisk, and EdXposed to get signature spoofing enabled (which is not included in stock LOS).
