I made the mistake of getting blue switches for my first mechanical keyboard. I had not done enough research, so I wasn't prepared to have the loudest keyboard on the planet. I got lots of complaints while in voice calls because other people could hear my keyboard through my microphone.

Hi,

after upgrading to WM 6.1 a first while everything was ok. But after a while suspending didn't work - when pressing the power switch nothing happens. After about an hour the display goes black and I can't get the pda to work any more without a soft reset. But when I receive a phone call or an sms, the display gets bright again and I can continue working.

Do you know how to fix that?

Thank you in advance!!
[Touch Cruise General] hambola:
is it a ROM issue? the ROM you installed might be helpful to some here.
[Touch Cruise General] extasic:
Hi,

I tried the original O² (German) Rom, the newest O² (German) Rom and the newest "Kitchen" - no matter what Rom I choose the problem still persists :(
[Touch Cruise General] extasic:
I just detected the source of the problem: The powerswitch doesn't work any more - I can't event turn the device on or off by pressing it.

I don't want to send it back because that needs so much time and I don't have any replacement for the 3-4 weeks it need.

Do you have any ideas what else I can try (without endanger the warrenty)?

Thank you so much in advance!
[Touch Cruise General] hambola:
You know I never use that button. Used to use it regularly when I first got the phone but not anymore. However, is there a way to turn on the phone without that button. I would send it back in but might be worth to see if any other guys here have ideas.

[Intel] V0latyle:
Why are there no i7s on this list? A xx700 has plenty of power. I would argue an i9 is way overkill for most gamers.

"Best" is also a subjective term. Ideally, you want a combination of CPU, motherboard, RAM, and GPU where each compliments the other. If you're running a 3080 Ti on an i5, you're probably not going to get the maximum performance out of the GPU. This is called "bottlenecking".
[Intel] marstg:
ALL Intel CPUs were very good performers once starting with the first i5/i7. I still see people pushing hex-core Westmere-EP Xeons like X5672 to 4 GHz with surprising results for an 11-year-old CPU!
[Intel] markanderson:
The best processor for gaming would be Intel Core i5 12600K.

The Core i5 12600K is the standout processor for gamers because it not only offers great gaming performance across the board, but it does so at a price point that isn't going to reduce you to tears. It not only beats the similarly priced 5600X in pretty much every game, but it outperforms the $750 Ryzen 9 5950X in plenty of tests too. That it soundly beats the Core i9 11900K is just the icing on the cake. Not bad for a $320 mid-range chip.
[AMD] zoel.fahmi:
Recently, Ryzen 5 5600G and 5700G have better APU for now
[AMD] CupCake09:
5800X is the best for gaming giving better scores than 5600X & 1-CCX(8-core) so lowest latency.

Hi, i've a qeustion about this, i've see in the rom section, posts with roms that have page pool.

as i understand it has something to do with programs to have more memory?

Is it nessesary to have this cause i have found a utility that can help giving you more memory with page pool??

i found this

What is it: More MBRAM for use of programs?? It can be done without flashing! My advice to put it to 4mb. This works for every touch phone.

- Download en Unpack "Change pagepool size TOUCH.zip"

- Make connection with activesync

- Copy EnableRapi.cab to your device and start.

- Make a backup with "backup.bat" (last a few seconds) and see if "backup.nb" appears!

- open the .bat file (last also a few seconds, with the pagepool size of your choice! (example: 4mb = 4mb pool.bat)

- Soft reset !

I strongly recommend flashing USPL before doing this. It isn't necessary, but if you're device fails to start you want to be able to flash a rom from bootloader!

Hi Guys

I constantly read in this forum about the light sensor doing something when the phone is ringing or within a call.

i have two questions about it:

- how do i enable, that the screen turns of during call, when i move the phone to my ear?

- how do i enable, that the ringing mutes when i turn the phone upside down?

i read in the sticky notes, that it is kind of standard, but my diamond is not doing it.

now the more important question (i know it's the third one)

is it worth to enable these things? or is it more trouble having this options enabled?

i can think of accidently muted calls etc.

thanks so far

please do not blame me for not using the search. i did. but i think it's helpful to have this bundled in one thread.

thanks in advance

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jstoner:
Hi!

I come from the Galaxy S series (S4, S5, S7) phones and I m considering of buying a Google Pixel 3

I can find many decent options, all of which are carrier unlocked

My concern with the Pixel 3 is whether I ll be able to install Android vanilla (without any carrier-related bloatware)

For all of my Samsung's so far, I could easily pick the retail ROM (well not exactly 'vanilla'!) from sammobile and load it with Odin (without breaking the knox)

Can I do something similar in the Pixel 3 or are there any security mechanisms to prevent me? (I m talking about installing original ROM - not custom..)

Bonus question - does any of you know if the Pixel 3 from Verizon and US Cellular have branding [carrier logo(s)] on the device?

Thank you in advance!
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] Note10.1Dude:
Well, you will certainly avoid the Samsung bloatwear. I have a P3 from Google and got my son's P3 through T-mobile. It did not have any additional T-mobile bloat on it, but I don't know about the big V.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jstoner:
I can find it via Verizon and US Cellular - hopefully none of which have put logos on it..

I have one more - rather embarassing question: do you have to use a Google account in order to use the Pixel 3? For several other Android phones that I know of - it's optional. You can still skip this step and use the phone without having to tie the phone with Google. But can you do that on the P3?

Any more hints on that and my ROM-related queries would be really helpful! Thanks
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] dcarvil:
Verizon branded Pixel 3s have locked bootloaders, which prevent rooting or custom ROMs (vanilla AOSP would be a custom ROM). According to the flashing instructions at https://developers.google.com/android/images, you also need to unlock the bootloader to flash a google factory image.

I'm not sure if you can skip the google account. If you really want to avoid google services, my recommendation would be to install LineageOS, with no gapps.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jstoner:
Hmm...if the 3s has that, then the 3 will also have it :/

But I m confused...would I be able to unlock the bootloader?

I can see from this page: https://developers.google.com/android/images#blueline that 'blueline' is that vanilla AOSP version that corresponds to the P3 (right?)

The G account issue is less important. I just don't like 'syncing' stuff (accounts, photos etc). Worse case scenario, I ll create an empty profile, just for the logon
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] dcarvil:
3s is not a model, it is the plural of 3. A Verizon Pixel 3 usually cannot be boot loader unlocked, but if you search this forum, you will find a few special cases where it has been done. One such case is at https://xdaforums.com/t/i-just-boot...branded-pixel-3-how-is-this-possible.4267273/

Vanilla AOSP generall refers to a ROM without any google services. See https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/53171/what-exactly-is-in-aosp for more info. Blueline is the Pixel 3 factory image, which has all the google services. It does not have any added carrier bloatware, but I wouldn't call it a vanilla AOSP.

You can turn off all the syncing stuff, and you may be able to skip the google account part. I just can't definitely say you can skip the google account because I have not tried it.

Another consideration with a locked bootloader is the end support date. Google support for the Pixel 3 ends in October, 4 months from now. There will be no security updates from Google after October. If you have an unlocked bootloader, you can switch to LineageOS and continue to receive security updates. That is what I plan to do.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jstoner:
Clear!

I ll check on the resources you ve listed here

If the V-branded P3 is troublesome as it sounds, perhaps I should just go for the US Cellular carrier option. Bootloader may also be locked (but we know for sure that the V is..)

Interestingly, the US Cellular P3 is unlocked to all GSM carriers except Verizon, Boost, Virgin Mobile and Sprint

Is the carrier lock specified in the bootloader?

Btw, thanks for all the help!
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] dcarvil:
SIM (carrier) unlock and bootloader unlock are separate, and not related. I have no idea if US Cellular is bootloader unlocked. Google sold a global model, which is the bootloader unlocked version, and the one I have. The IMEI/MEID number of the global variant begins with 990012 (don't know how many digits are significant). If I was buying it, I'd ask the seller to confirm it was bootloader unlocked.

Glad I could help.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jstoner:
The two P3 options I m considering (Verizon + US Cellular), both are sealed in their original box. According to that post, if the P3 hasn't ever being turned on, which is probably then when bootloader becomes locked

So I wonder if there is a SIM that comes with the phone already and that I have to remove that prior booting the phone. Not sure what he means with "VZW SIM". Is it a different type of SIM e.g. an eSIM??

I know for fact that these phones are CDMA-locked and only GSM is unlocked (but that's what I need anyways)

Does anyone here have any experience from an US Cellular P3 - is the bootloader locked? (the retailer of the phone doesn't seem to know much on such details..)
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] dcarvil:
VZW SIM is just a Verizon SIM. It is probably the standard SIM card, not an eSIM. I would remove the SIM prior to booting, just to be safe. According to one of those posts, WiFi had to be connected before they could unlock the bootloader.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jstoner:
I ll find out soon, I ve ordered the P3 (US cellular stock)

Seller claims that it is sealed in original box. If that's really the case, then the carrier can't have put a SIM into it, right? But what about an eSIM? If they have the eSIM pre-programmed, then I can't possibly avoid booting the phone with it..
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
Hmmm I think the way it works is that when the phone is produced, for a specific carrier, and the carrier wants it to have a sim, it's put in at the factory. So, I think, sealed with a sim in it, possible.

I don't think us cellular uses e-sims. Double check that but it doesn't look like one of the carriers that's capable of e-sims.

cheers, good luck. I have a vzw coming today, hoping it's new and can unlock as others have... we'll know soon.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jstoner:
Good news! Just got the phone and ... I ve managed to unlock the bootloader!

Exactly same case as described here. No SIM inserted, connected to WIFI, and in Dev Options, turned OEM unlocking to ON!

Then, on the instructions (link by opensense), I ve used adb and the bootloader is now unlocked! I m really chuffed about it :)

(btw the US Cellular supplied SIM was attached on the box (outside) with a sticker. Box was sealed.

Now, all is left is for me to pick that 'cleaner' Android option I always wanted!

But which one should it be? It's currently running blueline MP1.0(ROW)

Is there any clearer (official) Android ROM that I should switch to instead?

From G services, I would like to keep the Playstore and Maps...
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] dcarvil:
Congratulations. You'll have to define what you mean by the term "cleaner (official)" ROM. Blueline is the only official Google ROM for the Pixel 3. Anything else will be a custom ROM. I have no experience with any of the Pixel custom ROMs, so can't offer any advice on those.

You can disable most of the unwanted Google services in the blueline ROM. I'd recommend keeping the backup service, though.

Blueline MP1.0(ROW) is not a version listed at https://developers.google.com/android/images#blueline Go to Settings, About Phone, and tap Android Version. Check the "Android security update" date. Latest is June 5, 2021. I suspect yours is quite old.

If you want to update to the current blueline version, you have 2 options, OTA or flash a new factory image.

For OTA, go to Settings, System, System update, and follow instructions.

To flash a new factory image, follow the instructions at the link above. To prevent wiping your data when flashing, edit the flash-all.bat or flash-all.sh file, and remove the "-w" from the last line.

I you intend to change ROM's, I wouldn't bother updating.

Good luck.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] jstoner:
I think I ll probably stick with the official one then. My current is PQ1A.181105.017.A1 (which is very old as you guessed)

Which means I can jump to Android 10 or 11. From my experience, latest isn't always the best so I might have to keep reading, see if I should jump to a latest build of 10 instead. My emphasis is on stability/security - not new features...

And I want to ensure that the camera is at its best
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] dcarvil:
If security is a concern, you'll want to go to Android 11. 10 has not been updated since August 2020, when Android 11 came out. Also, I believe there have been camera improvements since August 2020, which would not be in the latest Android 10 build.

I have not seen any reports of stability problems with the June 2021 Android 11 update, which has the latest security patches.

I don't know if you can do an OTA update to Android 11 from Android 9. You might have to go from 9 to 10 to 11. You can flash the Android 11 image without going to 10 first.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] aldowski:
There were discussions and I saw lots of examples of possible solutions.

About 1 month ago, MI 9 turned itself off. I tried to boot it by power button, it started, but after few minutes it turned off again by itself with no possibility to boot it.

Okay, after few hours, I found the Volume up, Volume down and Power buttons to be simultaneously pressed, to boot it, so I tried. It started with message "The system has been destroyed". I pressed Power button once, turned it off, then again, by Power button turned it on. No data lost. All there, it did look okay. Phone booted correctly.

After few days same issue, same solution.

Then again and again, more frequently. Then I saw that I need to use hair dryer to heat it a bit, to be able to boot it.

I saw many discussions, including those here that are saying about MIUI version to be related to the issue. I don't think so.

Some users told that they finally had to send phone to service, they were told later that motherboard was replaced in order to fix the issue. I must say that issue does not look to be very rare. I saw that many MI 9's were affected (based on discussions), and, number of online shops (electronic) were selling THE motherboard for $120+. Clearly, it is visible that there is production, factory problem of one phone part.

In car (and not only car) industry, when there is a factory issue with specific part, all units were brought back to production for the bad part to be replaced, units already sold as well.

I exchanged few e-mails with Xiaomi support. First I got very generic answers. Then answers were more precise, but still not clear that they clearly recognize factory fault.

I do not have Xiaomi service close to me, so I may need to send it by mail, which I would not do (costs may be, politely said, unexpected, as they may put to the paper everything was replaced). I can bring the phone to the seller, where I bought it, to get the same unexpected results, costs up to the phone price or more, as they may put to the pricelist what they want (again not easy to trust someone who does not want to recognize own factory faults).

Clearly, this will for sure, limit my readiness to buy Xiaomi again.

Just to mention, I am having the phone turning itself off every day for more times, which is making it useless. Starting, booting works only after a bit of heating it and pressing it a bit (torque), which tells by itself that phone has some mechanical issue inside.

I would like to ask if anybody has same or similar issue and what may be resolution?

Thanks a lot.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] aldowski:
Somehow, it looks that some series of MI 9 has the factory error on itself.

It seems that problem is mechanical, based on some construction issue.

If I am able to somehow, turn the phone on, doing next step is turning the phone off: slightly pressing upper phone part clockwise and at the same time lower phone part counterclockwise, making torque, is turning the phone off.

So, inside the phone there is electronic / construction issue, it may be related to cable, connector.

Contacting Xiaomi, with exact problem explanation is useless, I have to say that I am really disappointed in relation to everything about this phone and Xiaomi now (initially, phone worked amazingly good).

Anyone has the same issue with MI 9,or some other Xiaomi phone?
