[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] chris91a:
Hi!

Its the first time i try to boot a custom mod to an android.

Ive managed to unlock bootloader, get TWRP, tried to root with magisk but I think I failed that one.

I also managed to install Lineageos 18.2 but totally missed to install the google programs so I wanted to go into TWRP and do a factory reset and install the google programs aswell before booting. But now I cant enter TWRP/recovery mode, i used to click and hold volume rocket minus together with power on but it doesn't take me into the TWRP menu.

I found the setting about advanced restart in developer options to take me into recovery mode, but i only get the option to go into safe mode.

Any ideas? Cheers.

adb reboot recovery

good luck and welcome to the forum

You may have Google apps without Google.

People use workarounds.

The one I know is APKPure.

I used it on Z1C for about a year or more.

I rooted it but I stayed with factory OS, though.

Of course not all google apps will work this way but it costs nothing to try.

It may save you lot of time.

you can also use an app store called yalp it gives u acces to all of the playstores apps as a apk
[Android Head-Units] Afsaty:
Hello all,

I really hope someone could help me out or point into right direction.

I bought a 10 inch CIC android screen from alie and installed it. However the original infotainment system of the car is not showing. Shows just a black screen.

The rest of the android functions seem to work. Car buttons like menu, nav, radio etc, seem to be working but the knob joystick doesn’t work probably also.

When I plug back the original screen, it works just fine.

i read that I need to change the car type in the factory setup, however my unit doesn’t have factory setup menu.

Any idea how to open it? Or could there be another issue?

Thank you guys in advance for any help you can give me:)

Edit: the seller won’t respond:(

[OnePlus 9] rickysidhu_:
Normally I always go for the top model of a phone that comes out, but this year is a little bit different.

I currently have a pixel 5 and I'm thinking of switching back to a OnePlus device. Before prices were officially announced, I had already set my mind on a 9 Pro.

However, here in Canada, the difference between the regular 9 and the 9 Pro is $500...

Aside from the price, I really like the fact that the regular 9 has a flat screen rather than curved edges. I hate any screen protector other than glass and there are no proper glass screen protectors for curved screens.

The reason I'm torn is because the camera setup is not the same on the regular 9, it does seem quite a bit inferior. It's using the same sensor as the 8 Pro and I think it's missing the telephoto camera entirely as well. It's also missing OIS, which I'm sure can't be good for video stabilization as well as low light photography.

However, the reason I'm still considering it is because I think it still may be an upgrade from my Pixel 5 in every area, except for the camera. I don't know how much better my Pixel 5 camera would be, compared to the OnePlus 9, or if they would come close enough where I wouldn't mind the subtle differences.

What does everyone else think? Anyone else out there with a pixel 5 and looking to switch? Unfortunate how big the price Gap is in Canada compared to the US. I think in the US the price difference is about $240, compared to Canada's $500.

Any opinions or feedback would be appreciated!
[OnePlus 9] MoMayat:
Not a Pixel 5 but a Pixel 2, I'm still using this phone as with Android 11 it's still a great phone...granted it does not have the high specs that most phones come with nowadays. But it's just the right size in my hand, works well except for poor battery life.

There are so many new phones out or coming soon...Asus Rog 5, Xiaomi range, Oppo Find X3, and now the OnePlus. A part of me still wants to hold out for the Sony Xperia 1 III if and when it is released....but I would really love a new phone now...not sure which one to go for or wait a while...I'm really leaning towards the OnePlus 9 pro...
[OnePlus 9] zymphad:
I use my phone to make phone calls, Pixel 5 is unusable for call quality. I didn't buy a Pixel 5 but the only person I know who did returned his for that reason. And using his, I agreed with his decision. Google always makes cool phones but ultimately it's an undesirable phone. Pixel 4 physical design was a complete failure. Pixel 5's under screen speaker complete failure. I wish Google would just make the basics amazing, and stop doing dumb ****.

But even physical design Google failed with Pixel 5. That plastic finish is there because they had to do a cutout in the aluminum shell to allow for wireless charging and then covered up that hole with that resin. I swear, Google might have some of the dumbest designers.

I got the Oneplus 9 for $600. That's good enough for me, I think phones are phones. Spending over 1K is insane to me. And this phone should last me 3 years.

As for camera, I would be surprised if OP9 isn't an upgrade since all the reviews are saying in many times OP9 is head to head with Samsung and Apple, Pixel 5 fell behind in the game. I also am believer if camera quality isn't up to snuff, buy a camera... I have never seen a picture from a phone that is half as good as from a camera.

You say the camera is quite a bit inferior, reviews I've seen so far have said for the average user between OP9 and OP9 Plus would not know the difference between the pictures taken. I'm in that camp, I always assume phone camera pics are garbage. After all the rave reviews and hype for iPhone camera, I'm always amazed how bad the photos are. That's what I learned, regardless if it Samsung Ultra or Apple, it's always more suprising to me how bad the pictures are really not much better than a $500 phone's picture.

I think phones might be the biggest tech scams. Just think about how little you get for the money, they are horrific value. But they claim their profit margins are tight, I don't believe them considering their sales volume. Processor that can barely play games. Cameras that are reality worth $20 and nothing more. 6" screen. Horrific audio quality, from speaker and buds. Overall phones are horrific tech in terms of quality, and incredibly expensive.
[OnePlus 9] zymphad:
After that rant, I seriously hope Google doesn't screw over their fans with Pixel 6 and release a solid phone and stop using their fans like guinea pigs for idiotic ideas with half baked implementation. Give them a phone that others can look at and think, gee if I didn't already buy (blank) I'd get that. They have failed with every single Pixel phone in that regard, especially when Oneplus has been doing exactly what Nexus and Pixel fans wanted.

Google should make phones that show Apple users Android can be beautiful, reliable, intuitive. Not making things like under glass speakers, hideous physical designs both front and back etc. Let the other manufacturers like Samsung experiment. Google Pixel should be the best that Android has to offer IMO.
[OnePlus 9] Pollie81:
I'm somehow in the same boat.

I've used the pixel 5 for some time and i slowly started missing a bigger screen and oxygen os but most of all decent sound quality so i started looking..

I tried s20fe 5g but traded it within a few weeks for a OnePlus 8t just to see if I'm in to Oneplus again. So far i really enjoy it, except i would love to have a slightly better camera.

So far I've seen quite some reviews of the 9 series and I'm thinking of switching.

I believe it's not the spectacle as they advertised it but it's a great device.

At least the normal 9, the differences with the pro are to little given the price difference.
[OnePlus 9] zymphad:
Normally I would be waiting to see what Pixel 6 will be, but Google has never failed to do something that a Pixel phone would be unusable for me. They always do something stupid and seriously shaft their users. Like they could use better hardware but continue to use the same cameras for every Pixel year after year.
[OnePlus 9] rickysidhu_:
Appreciate all the feedback guys,

I understand your point about phone cameras not being as good as a dedicated camera, but the thing is it's not as convenient to lug around a dedicated camera for those quick shots you want to take. That being said, it's nice to have as good of camera as you, can given that it's on a phone.

In terms of the Pixel 5's design, I've never been one to be picky about a design of a phone in general so it's not an area of concern for me. I tend to throw a case on my phones anyways, so the design is a non-factor.

However, that under screen speaker is definitely a real thing and something that bugs me a lot. I don't consider the Pixel 5 having a stereo speaker setup because of how bad that top speaker is.

Phone calls are fine if you're in a quiet environment, but if outdoors it's very hard to hear the other person. It's not a good sign when a smartphone is having trouble doing its job as a phone...

This is one of the biggest, if not the biggest reason I want to switch over to the OnePlus 9. It has a dedicated cutout for that speaker grill and there's no nonsense of the speaker being under the screen.

Going back to that camera, it's not so much about the actual hardware as it is about image processing. Even though the Pixel 5 is using an older camera sensor, the pictures that come from it are incredible because of Google's image processing.

Looking up camera comparisons online, to my eye at least, the Pixel comes out with the better shot. It has a lot more contrast and vibrancy compared to OnePlus. There is also a lot more dynamic range and areas such as the sky are not as blown out as they look to be on the OnePlus 9.

I can probably get away with some of those issues by editing the picture after the fact, but sometimes, some aspects of a picture cannot be saved no matter how much editing is done to it.

I'm torn because it seems that in every other aspect, the OnePlus 9 is a superior device to the Pixel 5.

Many people have not complained about performance on the Pixel 5, but I have personally experienced lag and slow down from time to time. I am the type of user who tends to switch between apps and just generally navigate the UI very quickly, and I think sometimes the Pixel 5 has trouble keeping up with that.

After reading your replies though, I am starting to lean towards the OnePlus, as it seems like the pros far outweigh the cons, even though the one pro the Pixel has is of great value to me.

Any additional feedback or opinions are welcome of course, in the meantime I will continue thinking this decision over to see if it would be worth grabbing that OnePlus 9.
[OnePlus 9] zymphad:
The way I see OP9 for me is it's the cheapest way to get premium hardware, $600 for me at least. The hardware and screen matters to me more than camera. And I truly believe among any of the phones $400 and above, most users won't see difference between photos taken on phones. They are all within that margin nowadays.

I truly hope Pixel 6 will offer premium hardware with solid software and no stupid gimmicks. Google offers are truly solid, awesome phone that doesn't use their users as beta testers for stupid ideas.

If so, then yeah I'd trade in the OP9 for a Pixel 6. Cause no question, Google makes the best software on Android platform still, best camera app, best phone and messaging apps and of course best Android experience. But Pixels always have really stupid ideas and treat their paying customers like unpaid beta testers. That's disrespectful.
[OnePlus 9] rickysidhu_:
Ended up caving and grabbed the OP9. As I mentioned in my previous post, there only seems to be one pro for the Pixel 5, which is the camera. In every other category, the OnePlus 9 outshines the Pixel 5.

Regardless of how much significance I hold to that one upside of the Pixel 5 (camera), all the pros for the OP9 made me think it makes more sense to go for the 9 instead.

Not to mention, that under-screen earpiece speaker is hard to deal with. Like @zymphad said, I can also look into the Pixel 6 and see if it's worth switching back to Google for. Otherwise I'll stick with the 9.

As a workaround for the OP9's camera, I can simply just take a handful of shots of whatever I am taking pictures of (hopefully getting one or two good shots out of the handful), and rely on apps like Snapseed for them to "pop" a bit more.

Looks like the phone is going to ship out today, should have it by next week! Thanks again for the input, everyone.
[OnePlus 9] zymphad:
Mine arrived. At work, tomorrow will post modified boot.img to root. Little doubt phone will be great and the Haselblad hype ruined the phone release since the pics are up to stnadard with Samsung and Apple just does not live up to hype, IMO Haselblad failed and they only had one job to provide consistent natural colors across all footage and cameras.
[OnePlus 9] CrashTestDroid:
OP9 is a must-skip for me. No dual sim for North America, bad fingerprint scanner, expected OnePlus camera flub, and base OP9 display has low DPI while OP9 Pro has a curve. For iPhone prices they aren't offering iPhone quality. Battery issues seem to be common too. My P5 will last another year.
[OnePlus 9] zymphad:
Unsurprising you whine about a camera that so far from what I've seen from people who make a living reviewing Android phones, OP9 camera is now within the same league as Samsung, loses some, wins some.

Fingerprint reader hasn't failed for me, in all lighting conditions and environment so far. Love it, it's fast and precise.

Battery lol? It's the best in class, fastest charging and seems to last forever.

Whines about the display but bought a Pixel 5. Is this a joke?

For how I use my phone compared to the Pixel 5 failure. Honestly this isn't even vs OnePlus, this is just Pixel 5 being a failure compared to all competition, Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, OnePlus, etc.

I use my phone to text, make phone calls, watch youtube, netflix, gaming, reading forums / blogs / news, chatting on discord, sharing memes, listening to music. For what I use my phone, Pixel 5 is dead last compared to all other phones I considered sub $800.View attachment 5266171
[OnePlus 9] mk69:
I have always been a Google phone fan, from the g1, og Nexus, Nexus 5, 6p, og pixel, 2xl, 3xl. I love the monthly update and the "pure os". But I just got a op9 from tmo (USA) for a great deal 1/2 off so it comes out to be about 360 over 2 years. For that price I'll deal with the shortcomings of the op9...
[OnePlus 9] XNine:
I know this is a little old, but I've had the Pixel 5 for a little less than a week and will be returning it. My last phone? OnePlus 6 that I got at launch. I also ordered a OnePlus 9 today.

It's the little things that just kill the Pixel 5 for me:

*Under screen speaker is awful

*The notification/ringer volume either can't be heard or can be heard by everyone, there's no middle ground.

*Can't remove Google Bar or Widget from the homescreen or lockscreen, and Nova keeps bugging out with gestures, so it's not even worth it sometimes.

*The processor. I've installed several apps that just sit there for a while after downloading and don't install for a few minutes. Unacceptable.

*have to switch hands to take a screenshot with the shortcut.

The size is great, but the lack of certain things that should be standard in 2021 is just flat out unacceptable even with some nicer things (call screening is phenomenal). I have a dream that one day all phones will be less than 6.2" so I'm not lugging a tablet around...
[OnePlus 9] rickysidhu_:
I'm right there with you on a lot of these points. That under screen speaker was just horrible. It's basically a mono speaker, I don't even consider that under screen speaker a speaker to be honest.

I like my big phones though so that's one area we see different but for the majority of it I pretty much switched for the same reasons.
[OnePlus 9] zymphad:
OP9 has its deficiencies mostly in camera, lack of OIS and below average front camera that I NEVER use.

But sometimes it can shine.
[OnePlus 9] illusiveairforce:
Did you take that picture using Portrait Mode or PRO mode?

The only way to get 50MP is using the PRO mode on the app.

First Picture is PRO mode...

Second Picture is Portrait....

My Opinion. I prefer Oneplus over anything.

If your looking for specs yes, I can't believe I would say this but the "new" Red Magic 6R is only $499 and the specs are even higher..

But I'm a OnePlus user through and through. Wont ever change unless they go out of business.

You know the microphone is under glass because it's water resistant. I agree though some of googles developers must be some real gems.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] xxxneoxxx:
Okay.. I got a brand new touch dual last week, and off course, it seems to be sim locked.. :o :eek: It IS nice and shiny though. A silver version actually..!

Anyways, I did try the SuperSID and security unlocker.. But i'm kinda stuck at one of the first steps in the manual.. Checking your original radio version and downloading it.. It seems my Niki has radio version 1.58.21.24.. And that isn't available for download.. Anywhere.. :')

So.. I've got this phone on my desk, which i can look at, but can't use.. All brand new, nice and shiny.. :rolleyes:

I've been searching the forum to see if there's any way to dump my original radio, biut i guess to achieve that, the phone needs to be unlocked on forehand, right..? Any suggestions on how to go about this?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] carlosmozas:
You can try with another radio, like the 1.58.21.23S, but first of all, be sure that you have a NIKI100, not a Neon or similar.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] xxxneoxxx:
Well, the battery says NIKI160. But fortunately for me, underneath the battery on the phone itself, it says NIKI100.

So, according to the Niki SuperCID thread i can just skip installing original radio (step 8) and flash v. 23s..? Without consequences..?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Anoukk:
Hi xxxneoxxx!

I know it's a while ago you were wondering if you could use the .23 radio.. But I'm still curious if you have tried it! And if you did, how does the dual perform?

Thanks!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] biktor_gj:
I had to do that either, one of the two niki100 had a 1.64 radio, and when doing "step 1", it always crashed at 99%. So whay I did was first downgrade the radio to a 1.56, then run step 1, and finally flash back to another radio (random one), it worked perfectly...

Just remember to use spl 1.15 or the unlocker won't give you results...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] biktor_gj:
Duplicated post, sorry...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Anoukk:
Hi biktor_gj!

I've already installed spl 1.15. So that's one step in the right direction =)

But how is it possible you can use different types of radio's without any problems? Because several threads warn you for the damage a wrong radio can cause...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] xxxneoxxx:
Well, after a while of reading up, i kinda gave up on it.. :) Found all kinds of info, none mentioning this radio version.

So i figured; i saved over 150 euros buying it locked, why not pay something to get it unlocked in return. I mean, unlocking isn't that expensive after all.

One of the infos i found was actually that over here in the Netherlands, unlocking your phone using an unlock code doesn't void your warranty, but using software to do it, does. :) So this was an extra reason find an alternative way. Eventuelly bought an unlock code. Went over to www.htccode.com and bought an unlocking code over there. Works like a charm.

I know, it might be the easy way to out, and if my radio version was mentioned in the unlocking thread i would have been more sure of the fact it WAS actually going to work properly, without the battery draining and stuff, but it wasn't mentioned, so i figured i was better off playing safe on this one..
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Questions & Answers] danilolegenda:
hello recently I have acquired a galaxy a71, I have been using it for a week and I have come to notice that the screen usually presents a slight dimming in the brightness from time to time not at all times but if from time to time, deactivate the adaptive brightness and clear the cache and data from the light sensor of the camera but the "problem" persists, my phone has android 10 with one ui 2.5, will this version be the one that is causing this? I have not received any other updates yet, thank you very much for your time.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Questions & Answers] ban.codrut:
Hello fellow A71 owner.

First of all, if this issue results to be an OneUI 2.5 thing might be wasted effort to debug much as you could just wait for the A11 OneUI 3.5 Update and check again if the issue is still there (update is around the corner).

In the meanwhile (or after update) I suggest you troubleshoot it this way:

1) Turn off Adaptive Brightness and Night Light

2) Change your display Color Profile to Neutral (might be some dynamic post-processing going on based on content with the other profile)

3) Use a dark room and a lamp of sorts so you can give the light sensor very low and very high input values.

To test try to shine the light on the top part of the display (where the sensor is) in such a way that you don't shine too much light on the entirety of the screen, this way you'll be able to see if there are subtle changes with the screen's backlight.

Always use easy to reproduce content on the screen like a text paragraph or an image, never a video.

thanks so mucho bro i try this.
