Well I've been on OP since OP1 and I've never requested a bootloader unlock. However I've never bought an OP phone from a carrier. Perhaps that's why.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] JohnSmith1337:
Hello,

Is there anyway to extend the lifecycle of my J5?

Everything is fine except that most things are saved to local hard drive which is limited to 16 GB.

With Android 8.5 most apps don't want to use SD card for memory purposes. This is sad. I can't also uninstall Samsung bloatware.

Cheers
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Roman5:
My MDA Compact 3 has been draining very fast for the last year or so, going down 1% every few minutes and always dead by the morning.

I've been doing tons of backups and resets. I finally decided to isolate stuff during backups to get to the bottom of this. With sprite backup, you can choose to backup everything, or, you can tick and untick whatever you want. There are 4 main categories:

My Documents

Email

Personal Database

System Data.

I backed up email & database together. Then My documents. Then System Data. All to my storage card.

I then hard reset the device. The battery is always fine in this state, it lasts about 2 hours hour before it drops by 1%, giving me about 200 hours standby.

I then restored just the email & database. Battery still good.

Then restored my documents, all good.

On restoring the system data, the device started working slowly again, lots of delays and fast draining battery.

Cut a long story shorter, I hard reset, restored everything but this time without the system data, and it's all fine. :) The only thing I saved from system data was my internet favourites folder.

Something in the system data must have been corrupted or was conflicting and draining my battery. But now my system data is fresh. So if anyone has a battery problem, try this method. It's time consuming and a bit of a pain, but it might work for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] noob_coder:
Recently bought a brand new S20+ 5G Exynos and it's running the latest March Security Patch update for Android 11. Problem is, after successfully rooting and killing off some of the ****ty bloatware that Samsung is obsessed to ship with it's Smartphones like Bixby, Samsung cloud, samsung games, pass, and much much more, my S20+ is losing single digit after every few minutes of just bare minimum usage like Browsing through apps, opening a simple utility or app or just wandering through the Settings Menu. I said it BARE MINIMUM since these activities do not cost so much pressure on the battery as running videos, games, installing and deleting and things alike. As I said, I turned off all the unncessary things like GPS, Display Brightness set to almost 20-30%, using BREVENT to keep all the background memory clear off of the background apps. I am not running any games, videos for that matter but my battery consistently losing a digit after every 8 mins I would say on these bare minimum activities. Sometimes even opening the screen and just scrolling through the app drawer drops 2 digits within 10 minutes. I set the display pixels to the lowest minimum and also disable the 125 Hz display smoothness effect.

I read in some posts that since Android 11, many users complained about constant and persisting battery drainage across multiple smartphone brands including Google Pixel users..

I am thinking of reverting back to Android 10 for my S20+. What do you people suggest?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] digitaljeff:
What process/app is draining battery?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] noob_coder:
As I said, nothing special in the Battery Usage as well. All the main components like Display and other multiple core system services are hardly using 2% and below.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] MRDOCA:
if you used a backup to setup the phone (smart switch etc) this can cause battery drain. this is my personal experience. if you dont have 5g in your area disable it aswell.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] noob_coder:
I did not use Smart Switch. It came fresh out of the box. My brother sent it to me from Saudi Arabia. I just reflashed it with the Android 11 KSA Stock Rom and simply rooted it. Also disable Bixby **** and other unwanted Sammy Bloatware.

Yes, I do not have 5G currently in my area and my country as a whole except some 5G Trials.

How to disable 5G???

BTW I charged my Phone and I turned WIFI OFF. It just stayed there and I picked up the phone and just opened it and just used it for a couple of seconds and the battery came down from 99 to 97% on just simple Unlock and simple APP DRAWER browsing with WIFI Being off all this time.

Then I just opened the camera and took a couple of selfie shots and battery came down from 96% to 94% in just 2 mins. WiFi is still off. Only Sim card is active.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Socotroco:
has to be some service that you disabled that is needed for some other sh** from Samsung.

If I were you, I would start all again, flashing the rom, test it without rooting it... see how much is the battery drain like that.... Try that method for removing the apps thru ADB connection without root, it works (search it here in xda)
[LG G7 ThinQ  Guides, News, & Discussion] seedi:
My lg g7 wifi and hotspot just stopped working.

Wifi turns on it search networks but when i connect it does not connects. It just shows connecting disconnected and saved and wifi does not connects.

I have done following things

1. Phone on off

2. Network setting reset

3.hard reset

4. Flash different firmwares

5. Assigned static ip address

6.upgrading downgrading stock firmwares

But nothing works

Wifi and hotspot does not works.

[OnePlus 9 Pro] Tokic:
Hi. So I rooted my OnePlus9 Pro after I bought it. But few days ago I updated it to Oxygen OS 11,2,3,3,LE15BA

And now I lost my root.

Can someone please tell me what I need to do to regain root access?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Swamphound:
You need to install latest Magisk app, get a copy of the latest stock boot.img for your build, patch it and then flash in fastboot. See the Magisk General forum with any questions. https://xdaforums.com/posts/84854149
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Tokic:
So I went to this topic https://xdaforums.com/t/magisk-patched-boot-images-for-all-builds.4262015/

Downloaded this

192 MB folder on MEGA

4 files

mega.nz

Which one of those 4 files I need to patch via Magisk and which one do I need to flash via Fastboot?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] zoman7663:
The first boot.img is stock, the second one is "patched" with Magisk, the last 2 are just hash values used to compare what the value is supposed to compared to what you download to ensure the integrity of the download. So the short answer is if you want root, the second one, "patched" img
[OnePlus 9 Pro] schmeggy929:
The second one that has patched in the filename. You will...

Fastboot boot magisk_patched.img and after boot open magisk and direct install.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] schmeggy929:
If you already rooted, it will be the same process.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Bunecarera:
First, you need to read a bit more before doing stuff like Rooting, updating when rooted,...

Everything is explained here. Just need to to do a bit of digging so you can confidently do stuff. And when in doubt, ask before doing.

The first sticky thread has all the info you need.

To update when rooted, do THIS. Works perfect.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] djsubterrain:
Follow the directions above, the next time you update the rom, ensure you install the update but do not reboot the phone, then go into Magisk and choose "Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA)", that way your newly updated rom should boot with root already applied. Magisk will then ask to reboot and should do so into the new version.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Tokic:
Thx everyone for the help, managed to do it
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Tokic:
Have another problem. Lost my root after I restarted my mobile phone. Anyone knows why?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Tokic:
So I flashed magisk pacthed img in bootloader. After that I need to open Magisk and direct install that same magisk patched img?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Bunecarera:
Have you read the link I provided?

If yes, and you've done exactly like described, then impossible to loose root.

So, question: what steps have you done?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] schmeggy929:
I hope you "fastboot boot magisk_patched.img" then once booted open Magisk and "Direct Install". You will now be rooted again.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] schmeggy929:
Except it is guaranteed to root lose with the last few updates in Magisk. There is no "Install to inactive slot(After OTA). Lol
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Bunecarera:

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] shethsa:
Thanks for your initial review. How reliable is Xiaomi for updates - especially the camera lag & heating up of the cam module? Those are serious enough issues.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] galr:
Thanks!

Can you please share sample images in 2X zoom?

I can't find any. I loved the 50mm lens on the Mi 10 Pro and was wondering how well this camera handles 2X.

Thanks!!!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kyero985:
I've gotten about 3 updates since I bought it, mainly UI improvements and a few other quality of life changes. I'm also on the April 2021 Security patch already so I'm very happy with the pace so far.

The camera lag isn't too bad, I may have made it sound worse than it is as it doesn't always happen and seems to more of an animation/UI stutter than anything as it does end up taking the photo anyway.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] mgbosshogg:
Thanks for the thoughts. Great stuff.

The "shutter lag" has been discussed in a few videos, seems as you thought. It's an animation issue, the camera is actually taking the pictures quick enough.

Is there any other UK Sims you can try? Interested if the likes of ID and SKY will work with WiFi calling etc as they are the most limited usually.

Cheers.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kyero985:
Yes, you're right. The lag I'm seeing is not too much of a dealbreaker as I'm sure it can be fixed via an update.

I have a Vodafone UK SIM from my work iPhone I've tried it with too. Unfortunately, I don't get VOLTE or 4G+/LTE no matter what settings I try but I do get VOWIFI and 5G on it. It might be because of the firmware/modem settings from what I've heard which stops me from getting 4G+/LTE.

I also tried a BT SIM too but as that piggybacks on to EE's network, I do get VOLTE, VOWiFi, 4G+/LTE without any issues.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kyero985:
Here you go. I deliberately took the last two photos in those lighting conditions to see how it'd behave.

Thank you so much!!

That's interesting. So I guess it does not bin the pixels when using 2X?

The resolution is also 12mp for the 2X zoom so either they crop from the binned original image and then upscale, or the don't bin the pixels and then shrink the image or something..

Looks good. I order mine today.

Thanks again

Edit: I also noticed in the flowers image that the DOF is not as shallow in 2x compared to 1x. That's good.

@kyero985

Hi, I've the Pro version and was debloating like yourself, have you managed to get Hey Google to work? Not sure if I disabled anything for it to be greyed out but works fine if you click on the microphone icon.

Also are you staying on the cn rom?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kyero985:
Heya, I don't know as I don't like using voice assistants in general I'm afraid, so I actually got rid of that as part of my debloating spree.

Yes, I'll be staying on the CN ROM because it tends to receive OTA stable (and even stable beta) updates quicker. I don't want to worry about the unlocking, flashing and other update processes as I'd rather keep it simple even if the weekly EU ROM for instance has extra features and quality of life improvements. I'm very happy with my SOT and battery life now that I've removed everything I don't want on my phone now :)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] wilpang:
I know what you mean, had the same amount updates as yourself on 12.5.4 or something like that just trying to get everything the way I like as per my last Oneplus device.

Thanks very much for your report and samples. On the subject of battery life, I did a 'quick and dirty' by doing the following:

1) Charge to 100%

2) Play 'Norwegian trains ride' video from youtube (9 hours)

3) Battery lasted 11.5 hours before turning off

4) Using 67w charger, phone took 50 minutes to charge back to 100%

I don't care TOO much about charging speed and have bought a cheap 10w QI wireless charger from eBay for a few quid. This should fully charge it overnight which is fine for me. Just waiting for it to arrive on the slow boat from China....

I agree up to 10x zoom is pretty good, but 120x is er... crap. Not really worth it for the super-low res you get out of it.

Cheers

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] pafc66:
Great photos mate.

These are good signs for early firmware.

I'm on the same firmware. At first I thought the colours were muted but I guess they're just natural after coming from the s21 ultra that saturates everything.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Fentadroid:
Great pics, but what about phone calls quality? I see many users are complaining about proximity sensor problem during calls, it appears display always go on / off during calls.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kyero985:
Call quality is solid, no complaints or issues so far with the display going on or off during calls.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kyero985:
Agreed, I'm certain the quality will only get better as 12.5.4 is supposedly the first official camera improvement update.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Alcibiade:
I wouldn't call 12.5.4 an early firmware. This one results from back and forth between DXO and Xiaomi, so it's already a rather elaborated piece of work. (I am on teh global 12.0.1 that's clearly an early firmware)

If Xiaomi continues its cooperation with DXO then it's exciting and we can certainly expect further significant improvements. I am less sure if after their initial benchmark and good mark (that they can use for marketing purpose) they start going on their own.

Time will tell. But I certainly hope they'll continue in that direction (Like Huawei did for instance)

Uff good pics. I got 12.5.4 running as well. The weather in Germany is quite bad and therefore I don't know really if this it all about wether conditions or maybe my phone is faulty because I'm not any impressed at all. I got all flagships in the last year and the most of 2021 so far too and the ultra was the least impressive one to me for now :\ I'm disappointed but your pictures are looking really well don't know what's going in
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] drzewoid:
Thanks for Your uploads, it's very usefull for people, who don't know is it worth to buy, but sadly processing of this photos looks terrible for me :/ I don't know if You browse this photos on small screen or a phone, but on 32" monitor - it's one of the worst photos i saw :( P40 PRO photos looks way better in many cases.

I've the same feelings after buy MI11 Ultra - Huawei P40 PRO was a lot better in most scenarios, especially night and indoor, but also in daylight. This phone have huge potential, but wasted by xiaomi terrible processing. Maybe they fix it, but currently this looks pretty bad.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] pafc66:

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Sathelp:
I too came from Huawei P40 Pro Plus and yes, that was an awesome piece of hardware but due to Trump, no GMS. I was lucky, both my Mate 30 Pro and the P40 Pro Plus, I managed to just about get Google working but I could never change accounts or add any without a lot of hard work. Both my 10 and 11 Ultra's are probably the best hardware next to Huawei but with full GMS. And of course, Huawei locked their bootloaders, Thankfully Xiaomi don't and we can use other ROMs like EU or just swap stock ROMS from other areas, something Huawei just didn't want you to do. There will always be improvements to firmware, there was on Huawei, so it can only get better for us Xiaomi converts.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] pafc66:
Worst photos you've seen?

Wtf? Lol

The p40 pro colour science was terrible. Purple tint in day shots isn't everyones liking either..

Huawei's cameras are overrated now anyway. Nearly all the competition has caught up and passed them in some ways. I like the shots from this camera they don't oversharpen like my s21 ultra did.. it's still not consistent but the results are no worse that's for sure.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] drzewoid:
Your photos are great, i admit. But few years ago i had Galaxy S9+ - the worst camera ever made by human, but guess what - i took some amazing shots using this terrible camera., which i can upload here and say - wow, what a amazing camera. Your photos proves nothing, it's some scenario this camera do amazing work, show me pictures of greenery where MI11 Ultra compeletely fails.

I have both phones, you don't, so don't tell me what is better - just look at pictures, xiaomi doesn't shine if i compare it to P40 PRO and zoom is also terrible compared to P40 PRO and here You are with photos https://mega.nz/file/yI4TwASb#vujZkwIElbtdujE_yReCCFXiDciXZVd9u0P7U44T9fA

Next thins is - MI11 Ultra RAW files have only 12,5 megapixels, Huawei is 50 megapixel and has very great 50 mpix ai mode, which gives amazing results much better than standard 12 megapixel mode. For me P40 PRO is better camera, i not say MI11 Ultra is bad, it's very good, but potential currently is wasted and that's all.

You act like fanboy and want prove MI11 Ultra is the best, even if it is not. It have some weak points and stron points, i really wanted buy phone, which replace P40 PRO and have GMS, but it's not Xiaomi. I'm waiting for P50 PRO now. And here is example of terrible P40 PRO photo 😂 I couldn't load full res photo :(
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] pafc66:
You don't even know what you're talking about.

This phone pixel bins the same as the Huawei p40 pro does, both 50 megapixels binned to 12 in auto.

The only difference is the way they go about post processing as well as Huawei using a ryyb sensor for lowlight which pulls yellow colours to capture more light which tends to screw the colour science in daylight shots. It's a matter of taste.

Hardly a fan boy. I've owned all of these phones. The p40 pro plus , s21 ultra , iPhone 12 pro and now this. This phone has them beat in some areas and in others it doesn't. One thing for sure is Huawei doesn't hold its lead like it used to.

Greenery shots are subjective as well. Samsung tends to blow the green right out where it's almost neon green, this phone tends to hit it more at a natural point, similar to the oppo / OnePlus.. I prefer it actually.

Huawei oversharpens and completely over does it in HDR at times which not everyone likes.

Anyway it doesn't make the camera good or bad , this phone hits all the basics right , the hardware is there and the software is early, for the results it getting already I'm impressed and it will only get better and I'm glad there's another brand innovating. As for Huawei they're dead in the west and it's laughable the price they want for their flagships even now without google .
