Just because you can't configure your Android in a way you're happy with doesn't mean the alternative is better in every way. Particularly, I don't like your attitude about the location tracking, like Apple is actually better, well I'm here to tell you they're not. Have you heard of Wi-Fi scanning? It allows Wi-Fi networks to track your location more accurately than GPS quite often because of Wi-Fi triangulation. And you can't turn that off on iPhone, even when you turn Wi-Fi off, your phone is triangulating Wi-Fi letting Apple always know your location, and on addition, Google because most of those routers report WiFi info to Google.

If you want a privacy respecting location tracking tool, like the Find My apps, you shouldn't be relying on your OEM anyways, whether it be Google or Apple or Samsung.

As someone who's used both platforms, I wouldn't blame you if you use an iPhone and like the usability more, but your rage induced reasoning here doesn't seem all that informed or thought out.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Kenora_I:
Well, Seconding this post. I agree, in my latent opinion it is clear that both platforms have pros and cons respectively.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
The iPhone settings are a mess... they give me a headache. Way too dumbed down.

Plus I doubt there's a package disabler that works on a stock iPhone🤣

Just stuck with what and how they give it to you.

No.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Problem you have is you literally cannot do anything with an iPhone.

Least with Android you can root and make changes.

This is no longer an option for you, not only that but if you do get the latest and greatest then you'll be paying the highest possible premium in the world for it.

Sorry but apple just do not tick anywhere close to every box, they can't due to their ecosystem.

Then there's the emulators, root tools, mods, ability to freely copy things to and from your device, I can send an entire folder structure over android beam, my choice, my way.

Sure Google has got a little Adolf Hitler over these last few years, but apple is the bloody antichrist in comparison.

More to that point, you will not be ruling in hell. You'll be more of a slave to apple than you ever were to android.

And as a g1 user, I think you should be ashamed of yourself if you can't understand the benefits of android over apple, yes they're a little cleaner and a little shinier, but the benefits are superficial and skin deep.

If you have an issue, let us know, we'll try to help.

If you are the issue then perhaps being a slave to apple will suit you.

Either way, ranting with no point to make is not the way I would have went.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] da4vidpl:
search for jailbreak ios. jailbreaking gives you more options than root on android;)
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] MariusKv:
Probably no jailebreak for newer ios
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] da4vidpl:
Ios 14.5, 14.6
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Please elaborate.

You're wrong, you couldn't be more wrong, but again please try to elaborate.

Understand this, iOS is closed source, Android is not..

Source is released.

Plus if you jailbreak you aren't hiding it, lots of apps will fail, more so than Android

And you can do more? Lol. Talk to me
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] tommynosedigger:
Well that's what 2 factor authentication is for. I have had that active for years. Whats the point of disabling access to other applications when applications can just keep tabs on other applications. How about battery life? This has irked me ever since android removed the option to turn off GPS and leave location on. They obviously did it for a reason, to get more accurate information about you. BTW it has been reported that google actively tries to bury and confuse users about its location settings. I'm not worried about my data, plan I don't pay it, but if I did what good does it do me since I can't connect to any enterprise wifi. I spend half of my day at work unable to connect to WiFi an relying solely on data.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] tommynosedigger:
I gave up on Samsung too, I hate their update lottery. My favorite computer is also my phone that's why wifi is important to me. I used to print documents straight from my phone at work because it is faster. I can't do that anymore. Unless I downgrade to a more unsecure version of android. Whats the point of security updates if I have to downgrade making my phone more vounarable just to get basic functionality back.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] tommynosedigger:
Lets assume I'm not a noob......... Let's assume I can actually configure phones to my liking like I have been doing so since the very first android came out. Lets assume I have been here for the whole ride since cyanogenmod. Configuration is not the issue. I would not care if it was just google tracking me. I can disable location history but that's not the issue here. Your making this issue about one thing. Read my post its an aggregate of things. Again this is basic functionality. Sony got sued for removing the ability to load linux to its system, here is oneplus completely dissabling and rendering useless something they charged money for.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pho3nX:
It's a joke isn't it ?

Each Jailbreak depend a hack / breach, so each time you must wait for a jalbreak for a new iOS version or iOS fixed version (Apple block each time Jailbreak on new version). Above all even with Jailbreak there a lot of things not availbable on iOS, and the first reason is now all iOS users don't care Jailbreak... They want the lastest iOS version without headache.

For Android, Root is for a lot of OEM granted/allowed (OnePlus, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, etc...) and don't void warranty, only Desimlock tools / Changing IMEI void warranty.

This OEM share their model kernel source and root can be granted by simply patching boot and/or using a custom recovery like TWRP.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] tommynosedigger:
Well were often stuck with what android gives us. Like updates, my sons g6 never got one. You complain that your stuck with what they give you but you are content with the mess android is accross its many vendors. It's been 13 years since android came out and every year a new plan to make updating easier. Remember project treble? All failed promises.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
The security hype is just that. My 10+ Pie does fine in the real world. Same firmware/updates for the last 1.5 years.

Your mistake was updating.

I picked off a trojan preloader and a malware jpeg over a year ago, no damage.

That same malware likely breach the latest updated Pixel just as easily. In the last year zero breaches.

A phone is only as secure as the person who operates it. I don't use wifi and limit bt use in high usage areas because vulnerabilities in this OS... which also have never nailed me. Regardless all my data is redundantly safeguarded and a complete reload takes me about 2 hours with no internet because I have a SD card/data drive*. So even if I get nailed it's not going to eat too much time. I'm readily to reload *now* if need be.

*if that's compromised add another 5-6 hours to the reload time. Still no critital data loss.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] tommynosedigger:
I should be ashamed of myself? LMAO I have 0 brand or platform loyalty. Go look at my last posts on roms, questions go unanswered for weeks. Good to know I have to root my phone just to make it functional because that's what we have all been doing all this time. You act like its a feature instead of a coping mechanism. Slave to apple lmao a little dramatic no.......? Lets get something straight I am not a fanboy. The minute I get tired of apple ill drop them too. I am just tired of all this shenanigans I am well aware of all of apples limitations. Theres is plenty I am giving up here I understand that better than anyone but I would like to have basic abilty of having my phone (its primary purpose) ring. I'm not the only one having this issue dont act like I am in a bubble.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
Seems about the same as fidgeting; it wastes time jumping from one platform to another if not needed.

Easiest fix would be to flash back to the firmware that was working for you. When Samsung or Google drop the ball (and they frequently do) don't pick it up, instead use the one you got your hands on.

I will likely will be using Pie for years to come as Android 11 is flat spinning in at a higher sink rate than 10 and accelerating. A10 was the last usable Android OS and it has some real nasty usability issues that Pie doesn't have.

For what? To emulate Apple? Idiots.

That rotten OS put more challenges on Samsung's plate to try to make it usable but Sammy can only do so much with rancid base code.

It actually Samsung you should be addressing... they take criticism really well especially the SK reps🤣
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] tommynosedigger:
Guess I found a fanboy

1. Send me a Bluetooth file - Slow and useless typically ends up failing.

2. Send me a folder from your phone - Why would I? Everyone shares files through the cloud now.

3. Send me a movie stored on your device - again why? when was the last time you did this?

4. Fire up an emulator - You do know not everyone cares about this right?

5. Use your phone as a pc - Why it sucks, I have real pcs at home at work laptops and tablets.

6 overclock your CPU and GPU - Yeah you have to do this to get your phone to not be as slow just to launch the camera.

7. Turn off your page file, zram, swap file - again never had to do that

8. Kill people off the WiFi you're connected to!! - I don't want to be an A hole its not my prerogative.

9. Download and keep Adobe lightroom for free!!!! (Lol with apple??? Hahaha nope) - I am not a photographer, good to know your a cheapskate that doesn't want to pay for a service he uses.

10. Beat my all time SOT legend score. - I don't even know what that is.

11. Huawei P20 Pro - 2 days- 17 hours 37 minute's in one charge. - Isn't huawei banned in the us?

12. Use two SIM's one phone! - Why? You can use an E sim on iphone dual sims!

13. Install a third party application within 1 minute of opening your phone's box- You just want to pirate apps and not pay developers for their hard work.

14. Copy all your unofficial (now lost) music from your phone to a blank external drive. - For f***s sake who has mp3s anymore? I pay 7.99 for YT music.

15. Try to get help on XDA for your phone! - It's + to avoid people like you

This isn't the only forum and this is not my only account. This is clearly labeled a rant, didn't think id run in to the guy that has an android logo tatted across his chest. People who call people son are typically 23 and drive civics with fart exhaust and different colored body panels.

No it isn't, but it's the world most known and an android thoroughbred stating that Android is awful and it's all apple from here on in!!!!

And I'm the fan boy???

Dude you just picked up an apple

You should add Mac to your name.

Either answer my points or don't. Either way, enjoy your phone.

PS: you still haven't told us what issues made you want to run for the hills!

Me or someone else will know the answer.

Lol a part of me thinks you're literally just here for the click bait
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] tommynosedigger:
Note 8 was my favorite It was a damn shame when the screen broke. Never rooted that phone, it never needed it. The update thing kinda got on my nerves towards the end. My wife had a pixel phone at the time (I bought it for her). Kinda sucked to see her have features I would never get to see. She's trying to jump ship too. Her pixel xl needed a new battery so she went several weeks without her phone because nobody localy had the parts to have it repaired. Now the screen wont turn of unless you turn it off I assume an issue with the radar. Thats the issue with google phones nexus 5 had a camera that would take 30 seconds to open and 5 seconds to shutter. My friend had the huawei one, he had to send that thing back like 3 times and they told him he could not do it again. Even though it was their fault I think they got sued and lost and had to give rebates.

What happened DLADZ I thought you had rage quit this post. I haven't even bought an iphone yet lol. Heres a pic of me holding my note 8 with a broken screen and a pic of my op8. People are allowed to have different opinions and needs. You sound very immature this whole us vs them crap. Grow up, I have never ridiculed someone for using iPhone, because it suits their needs. "You should add Mac to your name".... Are you 12? You sound like the 12 year olds on Xbox live. "Im superior because my metal and glass object in my pocket is better than your metal and glass object". Dude it would be exhausting to know you in real life.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
All these phones seem to have crap support.

At least Samsung is a US ally and not using CCP sweat shops like Apple is. It's not like Apple is passing that huge labor savings onto you as they eagerly help undermine the free world.

That's one rotten Apple.

If you get a mainstream Samsung model parts aren't an issue. If you get a flagship Sammy they are generally well built and will last for years with a good case and occasional battery. Companies like Samsung are Google's only saving grace any more it seems.

Right now the only phones I would buy are the 10+ 512gb Snapdragon and the 20U 512gb Snapdragon. Although I'm still favoring the 10+.

The beautiful thing is you have choices. You don't need to let Google or Samsung shove crapware down your throat* and you can still use their products that work well... if you ignore all the best, fastest, newest, most secure, etc hype bs.

*no forced OS updates with Androids if you work it right
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] tommynosedigger:
I had planned to get my phone repaired but with that dumb curve on the side it made it super expensive. Cost more to get it repaired than to get a used one. Opted to get op8 pro, I really regret it now. I remembered my days with oneplus 3t, constant updates full of customization, almost no blote. The thing that prevented me from going to samsung again was the price. I picked up this phone for under 700 dollars new after taxes, compared to thousand dollars I would have to spend on samsung. I understand the irony of getting a more expensive phone, but I am not. In fact I was looking forward to the iphone mini missed the days of a small screen phone. I'm not after the latest and greatest anymore. Iphones hold their value, and parts and repairs are relatively cheap as long as you don't go through apple. I'm tired of the lack of accessories for my phone too. I bought the dji osmo mobile 4 and the best features are on iPhone, 0 android phones allow you to use all the features due to api. Developers spend more time on iphone because there is more iphones than any other phone. Sure there is more android devices but im talking about a single phone from one manufacturer.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
A used #9 AT&T branded 10+ 512gb Snapdragon can be had from B&H Photo for $650 when in stock. 100% satisfaction guarantee. Just do a Screentest and run it through it's paces. You'll need to replace the battery sooner or latter but it's not a big deal. Get it only if on Pie and keep it there. It will need to optimized... of course.

Done with Package Disabler, Karma Firewall and settings. Now a very low maintenance phone.

My 10+ will be 2 yo in October. Replaced one battery so far. Runs rock solid, fast, and it's drop dead gorgeous with one of the best displays out there with no ugly rounded display corners.

Great cam. The spen is indispensable when you need it and a great remote cam shutter release.

Even though it's seen heavy usage it looks and runs like it was new. Protection by Zizo Bolt case and Gorilla IQ Shield.

The Buds+ work seamlessly with it and never fall out. You'll take them out before the battery runs out.

The 10+ was one of Samsung's best offerings.

It is clearly marked as RANT, from the very beginning. If this wasn't the place to do it this post would have been removed from the forum by the mods. I have been respectful to everyone on here who was respectful to me. Honestly wasn't expecting this reaction. Right of the bat got accused of not knowing what I'm doing, and this guy attempts to shame me for wanting something different. I can delete this post if it makes you guys feel better.

Hi Guys

i have a problem with this phone. i had about 30gbs data in this phone. when i went to tha gallery my whole data was corrupted. the pics were showing just black and a white question? marrk.. but then i had to factory restore it. now everything is gone. is there anyway that i can recover my lost data?? its so important for me. i have pics of my sis in it which died a month ago...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] Noter2017:
Don't you have them saved in Google Photos or something?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] SjDU:
As I said everything. It was in my phone
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] Noter2017:
When you factory reset the phone, you deleted everything yourself.

When something is important to you, make a backup of it. Google offers you 15 GB storage, Amazon Prime clients get unlimited storage for photos and there are local companies like Yandex (Russia) that offer unlimited photo storage for free. Probably other countries have free unlimited photo storage as well
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Sorry to hear about your sister. Been there...

The data is still there if not overwritten but not readily accessible. When you factory reset it doesn't zero fill the drive. If you want to try to recover them stop using the phone now.

Don't use apps, techniques that claim to be able to recover it unless vetted by respected members here.

A data recovery specialist with extensive knowledge of that device be the best bet.

The recovered files will be juxtaposed, no folders will be intact and the jpegs will have lost their EXIF information, time stamp, pic number etc.

But you'll have the pictures -if- it works.

Personally I would have written them off but you may get lucky. Unlike a flash card you don't normally have low level access to the internal memory. A data recovery specialist may be able to access the chipset directly. Not sure.

Someone here may have a better plan.

Godspeed.

Installation Instructions

Note I do NOT run Windows OS so there are no provided instructions on how to install TWRP using Windows. There's lots of tutorials and videos online on how to install TWRP via Windows. Do your own research. If this is unreasonable to you, don't use this TWRP. Questions regarding how to install TWRP using Windows/odin will go unanswered.

You need to boot the P550 into download mode. Power off. Press home button + power + volume down (farthest away from power button) at the same time. Let go when you see "Warning" text on the screen, then choose volume up to continue. Your screen should now show "Downloading... Do not turn off target"

Linux users can use heimdall to flash this recovery. For example,

heimdall flash --RECOVERY TWRP_3.5.2_9_SM-P550_20210515_Unofficial.img

After flashing the recovery image, you must boot into recovery immediately (using the hardware key combination) to run TWRP, otherwise the Samsung software will overwrite TWRP and you will have to start over again. I usually am already pressing the recovery hardware key combination while the recovery image is being flashed. The flash process will be very quick (a few seconds at most).

The recovery hardware key combination is home button + power + volume up (volume up is closest to the power button) all pressed at the same time.

Updates

Unless Android 12 or LineageOS 19.0 requires some mandatory changes to TWRP, this will be the only TWRP build I make for the forseeable future. There will be no planned updates to 3.5 unless there's a major bug or security vulnerability. The only time you need to boot into TWRP is to upgrade the custom rom.

I have been using this TWRP now for almost 2 months before sharing it here.
