[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bytesniper:
This is just one users opinion after 1(!!) day. I've had mine about a week and I freaking love it. I am not sure how anyone can possibly miss windows mobile after using Android... that honestly confuses me because I don't find anything clumsy about it. Give it a few more days and actually use it and it would also make sense to me to actually have used all the phone features before posting such a negative review.

There is no file manager but I haven't needed one. Let me explain why... it saves everything on the SD card and when something is copied to it over USB from a computer you choose where to put it (it doesn't matter where you put it). When an application is opened on the G1 that opens that type of file it searches (remember its a *google* product) the entire card for every type of file it uses at makes it available (Ive got over 800mb of mp3's and its almost instantaneous). You can then manage all of those types of files by the application that uses them. Pictures... exact same thing.

Bluetooth, the keyboard, etc. works just fine. They are different from what I've used on most devices and it takes a couple days to get used to them but there is nothing wrong with them.

One thing I do have to agree with though is battery life... it is actually really bad to the point where I almost have to carry a charger around with me. If im listening to mp3's while im browsing the web its dead pretty quickly from a full charge.

All in all I am extremely impressed with it and being an almost exclusive Linux user I couldn't ask for more but I guess there are those that are going to be so used to Windows Mobile that they are not going to like Android... because it is very, very different.

Day 2

Man you guys are quick....11 pages. Well, I made it to page four and realized that someone else was answering questions so I stopped there and just decided to kick down some more info. A lot of software related stuff i am sure will be created in time. ie: internet share, virtual keyboard. I already found a video camera and a file explorer but I have not used them yet. I am a novice so I have not used the sdk and blah blah blah. I dloaded some of the free apps and was pleased with those. On to the review.

No sharing yet

The sd card is kind of a joke right now, I have an 8gb and the phone see's it but my pc wont. I through some files on the device itself and was able to get to those but not the sd card. A co worker told me his bberry sd worked fine but he didn't connect to a pc yet.

The phone design as far as login and use is as follows. If you don't have gmail, you don't get in. If you dont have a data plan you dont get in. 911 calls only without either. I put in for a sim unlock and heard nothing yet... keep u posted.

The pouch sucks, nothing special and not very practical. Its too big for pocket and no belt clip.

Compared to the wing someone requested. It is a hair thinner, I sold my wing or I would snap a photo. It is much thinner then my tilt though. I prefer winmobile so far but I love the desktop and Icon dropping. Navigation is gonna be a personal thing so c 4 urself.

Battery again, you'll love this. I am moving currently and my phone was sitting on my desk from 1pm till 6pm roughly. Prior to 1 I went to breakfast and played with the phone a bit. Changed my wallpaper and showed the old lady the bar code scanner. Keep in mind that my lcd is at its lowest setting, the battery at 6pm was almost dead. The icon goes from green to yellow to red to red with a slash. I was at red with a slash which is like 4%. That is for the most part, NO USE. I hope my bat is defective.

I did not mess with SDK stuff yet... forth coming, but once again I am a noob so other threads will crush and most likely teach me.

What needs work. No offense but a silly question. The nature of this device is growth. Open door for us to fix it.

Wifi wouldn't stay connected. I find this to be a common HTC thing. My wing and Tilt and MDA both had this issue.

Amazon won't let you purchase over GSM... NEED WIFI. I hope this is not the case for 3G.

Btooth was still not used, I did see an app somewhere for stereo. AS far as going through the manual, there is a pick of my phone above for proof and the manual is on the tmo site.

Hope this helps u guys. Being an employee makes it hard to really say what's on my mind.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorguts:
Lucky duck. I hope my battery better be defective.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlobalM3:
I just ran over your post really quick:

The SD card must be selected as mounted in the settings for your computer to read it.

You can buy MP3 on amazon via 3G but in order to save them on the device(memory card) it has to be over wifi.

Hope that helps

By the way, the volume button is a shortcut for phone profiles. There is a full list of keyboard shortcuts in the many. Notice I am charging in the pic.... go figure.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorguts:
My card setup is legit, I even verified it with the man and our knowbase at work. I will try my 4gb. Glad the amazon works over 3g, that is gonna bring in alot of phone calls.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlobalM3:
Please tell me how to do this.... I didnt even know it had profiles..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorguts:
Just turn the volume down all the way using the upper left volume button and it will turn down, then vibrate, then silent as you keep pressing down.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorguts:
MORE PHOTO's

I didn't try it yet but I think my mem card problem is only because there are no files on it. It occurred to me that the device has no file explor so you can only view files from their respective programs eg: if I put a song on my mem card and go into the music player, mem card will now be an option. This however should have nothing to do with the PC not seeing it. I'll let you know.

WOW

So forget what I said in the last post about the mem card biz. I had files on it already...duh. Guess I was desperately grasping at straws; but guess what, it just started working for no reason. I can see my card and transfer files blah blah blah. I think this puppy is going up for sale. I wil buy when later when all is right in the universe. Any takers?

ok after seeing the picture comparisin i see that it wont fit.. So htc should be selling them on there site or something i cant deal with that wack ass pouch it comes with... :(

[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] remialfa:
Hello!

I wanted to update my oneplus 8 from 11.0.4.4 to newest version. OTA was not working idk why. I had magisk in place and I patched magisk to second partition or something like that [I dont remember how it was called] - I'm sure this is the reason of the problems. I turned off devices and wanted to boot into recovery, but suddenly it boot into Qualcomm crash dump mode with message: Attempted to kill init! exitcode: 0x00007f00 do_exit - that's all. I can't boot the system, I can;t boot into recover, I flashed patched boot, I flashed recovery - none of these works. Fastboot is present and recognized by PC.

First question can I do some backup through fastboot? To be honest I was not prepared for such problems. APKs are not even such a problem I care more about photos, documents and other data.

Can I flash some rom and restore phone back to life without wiping my personal data?

Please can you help me? I tried with some tutorials, but no success...
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] remialfa:
Maybe an idea would be to load TWRP recovery and then do backup, but how to boot into recovery when even after flashign recovery or booting via fastboot it enters in qualcoom crash dump mode. Something must be corrupted, but is it possible to fix some partition just in order to flash recovery to do backup of the files?
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] remialfa:
Okay I managed to get back to normal - since like I mentioned i patched the magisk into second slot, then probably this corrupted something. What has helped me is this: fastboot --set-active=b

It was not working via powershell I had to launch CMD and then it worked I switched slot to "b" and phone booted normally.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] SekouCheikh:
Hi, I'm facing the same problem but probably not for the same cause.

I'm right now on PE12 (with PE recovery) and wanna install TWRP recovery to then move on another A12 based ROM (Evox).

Basically my goal is to replace PE recovery with TWRP. So when trying to install twrp after downloading the ZIP file onto the phone, when I fastboot the img file, it sends me to the crash Dump mode.

How can I fix this? please note I have no issue booting to the main OS.
[Android Head-Units] Neogx:
I been wanting to update my old head unit and tried looking in here for info but I can't find anything for my questions but my main question is the android units pretty mature that it's smooth and you don't have to really worry about it it just works ? I have no clue on what brands are pretty good I seen joy alot and are people here modding the head units and making them run better?
[Android Head-Units] pwhittle:
I am also interested in the feedback from the more experienced Here.

I want to install a large screen Android in our motorhome, but don’t want something that doesn’t work well.

[Android Head-Units] firstbob:
I recently purchased Topway TS10 unit. My first Android HU, actually my first Android device also.

If I had to do it again I would look for a unit that can be rooted fully - otherwise you are at total mercy of Chinese vendor who may ignore you, give you wrong information or will simply not understand your question.

Based on my, rather limited, knowledge, 3GB RAM CC2 Plus from Alibaba would be on top of my list.
[Android Head-Units] Neogx:
Yah that's my main worry's is being at the mercy of a Chinese vendor and having to deal with a buggy OS with no updates and noone on xda having there own version that's better
[Android Head-Units] marchnz:
Quite right.
[Android Head-Units] dkmartin:
I've had some personal experience with both options. Last year I purchased a top-of-the-line Pioneer HU (AVIC W8500NEX) and installed it in my Toyota Highlander. I had nothing but trouble with it. Random reboots and freeze-ups. Replaced the HU once and the CanBus adapter once but problems persisted. I finally gave up and recently purchased a Sygav PX6 android HU. The first HU died after one day. The second HU has been working well other than a few quirks that are well documented in this forum.

So, I don't think there is a clear answer here. I completely understand the concerns about purchasing an off-brand HU, but name brand HU's are not without problems as well.
[Android Head-Units] skezza:
I've been in this game quite a long time. Heck., I was in this game years ago when it was WinCE.

Functionality wise, the top brands have been playing catch up for years. In the case of some of them, they even went down the WinCE route, so as to provide a pathway to all the great software that was available (iGo Primo, for example).

Where the Chinese head units are playing catch-up, has always been the sound quality. Historically, Chinese Head Units have used very low quality amplifier IC's which give a very mediocre sound.

Then we got the generic Android Head Units and again, the big brand manufacturers were playing catch up, except it's not a level playing field. I doubt big brands would be allowed to ship an almost stock Android Head Unit as they are not 'actually safe' for cars. They are the kind of thing which would have to be sold with a 'Not Road Legal' label attached.

So you've got the CarPlay and Android Auto options coming out of the big brands and you've got the generic Android kit coming out of the Chinese brands. Except, the Chinese brands have now caught up with the sound quality. The PX5 units I had in my BMW and Audi had exceptional sound quality.

As for the quality and reliability. I've always had good luck with Chinese units until recently. My WinCE badgers never failed me. Two PX5's didn't fail either (6 months and 2 years).

So, I got a PX6 for my Jetta as a treat to myself. I was mezmerized by the speed but the first thing I noticed on day 1 is that it ran hot. The PX5 ran comparatively cool and the issue with electronics when they get hot is the lifespan shorten and as this thing ran hot seemingly all the time, it unfortunately didn't last a month, and was returned with an amp defect.

I'm now on a Xtrons MA series, which is basically a Junsun V1 Pro. Performance wise, it pales in comparison to the PX6 and tbh, it even feels a bit sluggish compared to the PX5. However.... it has an extremely good DSP which means the sound quality utterly blows away the PX6, which was already decent btw. It also has some other nice features like Android Assistant that is actually able to dial via your phone properly (it never worked on the PX5), CarPlay for your iPhone, Android Auto if you want it....

So the gap between what Pioneer are knocking out and these Chinese head units is actually massive at this point and it's in favour of the Chinese stuff. You can literally buy a Chinese head unit that offers the same functionality as the Pioneer (CarPlay etc), and more (Android 10) and similar sound quality.

Big manufacturers are on borrowed time. In-built stuff with new cars + these units for old cars are literally the death knell.
[Android Head-Units] marchnz:
You are not comparing apples with apples - genuine units are Android Auto, Chinese origin greyboxes are a hacked Android and are NOT Android Auto. They have two very different use cases.

The problem with Chinese origin knock off Android head units is the lack of recourse, support and consumer protection.

The resellers stop communicating when bugs and problems get hard for them, leaving buyer stuck or out of pocket.
[Android Head-Units] skezza:
My Chinese unit also offers Android Auto and CarPlay via USB, hence my point that I am able to access numerous ecosystems here. Android, Android-Auto, CarPlay.

I think there is some truth to your statement with regards to lacking resource and consumer protection but your best bet is buying from one of the more legitimate UK based resellers. I've bought my last three from Xtrons and the one which failed, they took back in an instant and refunded the money. It's a gamble but it's hardly a risky gamble, we're talking a few hundred pounds here, and if you're sensible and buy through a protected platform like Amazon, you'll be fine.

In my experience, quality control issues usually manifest themselves within a very short period of time. In my case, it was less than a month. If your unit is still going strong after 3-4 then I'd say you're onto a winner. The bugs are usually bitty I find. My PX5 and PX6's were really smooth and powerful, but had irritating little 'misses' like Google Now couldn't make a call via Bluetooth, which is more like a missing feature than an actual bug. This new unit doesn't feel particularly buggy UI wise, but it's definitely not as powerful.... However, it offers some really clever features that the PX5 and PX6 didn't, such as calling via Google Now right out of the box and separated volume channels for different things. Higher clock speeds aren't everything. I've not made up my mind on it currently, but as it costs £260 inc delivery and brought a whole load of surprisingly useful extras the PX5/6 don't, I think I am OK with it.

One thing I would point out here:

Any aftermarket radio that offers apps or 'AppRadio-esque' functionality is at the mercy of manufacturer. The ecosystem they selling against is essentially a moving target. I think the big brands get let off so easily here.

AppRadio – Apps on Google Play

Turn your car into a connected car with Pioneer AppRadio

play.google.com

The Pioneer AppRadio app above has a wonderful 2 star rating on Google Play. Is it any wonder? A number of the early App Radios (1-4 definitely) are now dead if used with official software. The only alternative is AppRadio Unchained which is effectively a screen mirroring app and a right mess to get working. Let's not pretend that you're good for life if you get yourself a Pioneer or Sony. You are merely on a countdown and eventually they'll pull the plug.

In the case of a Chinese radio, it's usually however long it takes for the hardware to become obsolete and unusable, if the hardware itself doesn't fail. My PX5's were running the latest apps and my oldest was bought in 2018. I expect this current unit will keep going for a similar amount of time, albeit not as quick as I'd like. Tl:dr, I think it's naive to think we buy radios (including big brand) to last 5-10 years. At the price point they exist, we should be happy with 3 years. Not many people keep their cars much longer than that anyway.

Basically, I keep getting an error when trying to boot into bootloader mode, recovery mode boots up fine but after trying to get into bootloader mode I get this error. I'm not sure how to proceed next, to flash back to the U1 firmware. Any ideas? Picture below. Other then that, I don't experience any issues with current T-mobile firmware, just got the July update and that went fine.

Any advice is appreciated

Try using ADB from a PC. "adb reboot download" from a command prompt. Or power off the phone and connect a USB stick and re try the key combo. I believe this is disabled on purpose.

[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] trinidude4:
What did you try doing if OTA wasn't working?

You won't be able to use TWRP since you're on Android 11.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] remialfa:
Okay I managed to get back to normal - since like I mentioned i patched the magisk into second slot, then probably this corrupted something. What has helped me is this: fastboot --set-active=b

It was not working via powershell I had to launch CMD and then it worked I switched slot to "b" and phone booted normally.

Regarding OTA I have no idea what has happened. The only things I have done is magisk with modules like xXx No Limits and YTB Vanced. To be honest nothing more. I'm at Oxygen OS 11.0.4.4.IN21AA with bootloader unlocked. What would you suggest to do in order to update to newest version?
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] trinidude4:
I would disable the magisk modules first in case that is what caused problems. Then do a local upgrade using the full OTA zip. Then install magisk to the inactive partition. I think that would work, but I'm not sure if a messed up A partition might affect the installation. I don't think so, but I haven't read anything about it. After, you can try re-enabling the magisk modules.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] remialfa:
I turned off all the modules obviously and still OTA is not working via the oneplus updater. It does not see the zip rom even though it's in the main directory. I don't know what is wrong...
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] trinidude4:
Oh, that's strange. I don't know how to recover from there. If it were me, I would just backup my files and MSM, but that's a lot of work.

Did you check the obvious things for the zip file like making sure it ends in the right extension? Sometimes if you download it from OnePlus, it has a jar extension instead of zip.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] remialfa:
L

Lol 😂 yes you're right it was jar. Now the updater sees the zip file, but I'm afraid to update because I'm not sure if the phone won't brick or bootloop. What do you think?
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] trinidude4:
I think it should be fine. I think the only thing that got messed up was the boot partition on the A slot and that will get overwritten with the OTA.
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] remialfa:
How about the root and magisk?
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] remialfa:
Okay I updated and it's working fine. I'm on 11.0.7.7 but now magisk is not working, how to get it back?
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] RASTAVIPER:
Any idea if it's possible to do something similar to rooted OP6?

I have a similar situation where I tried to update magisk and ended up with a bricked device.

I can reboot to fasboot, but I can't boot to recovery or flash anything through some pc flashing apps.
