[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
I think it's a good idea, with some caveats. Excellent for the mentioned needs, but as said, even if it's described as 'Mint', odds are the battery has been cycled hundreds of times.

This is listed on ebay for 219, brand new, unlocked. I've bought from that seller and they are reputable for sure. At least going that route you won't have to worry about the battery.

Yeah no more official updates from google, but Lineage will continue to make builds for this device for (probably) years to come.

Absolutely worth considering.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] dcarvil:
Things to look out for - a locked bootloader. Verizon and AT&T phones have locked bootloaders. You can't install LOS with a locked bootloader, so no more updates for those phones. Also, when sellers say the phone is unlocked, they mean the SIM is unlocked, not the bootloader.

I'd go with a new, unused phone if you can still find one. Besides battery on a used phone, there is this problem to consider. https://xdaforums.com/t/fix-pixel-3-qusb_bulk_cid-xxxx_sn-xxxxxxxx.4205331/

I just had my Pixel 3 battery replaced at uBreakIfix for $100. The original battery lasted 2 years. I could have nursed it along a few months more, but decided it was time.

Also consider a new Pixel 2, if you can find one. I bought a new Pixel 2 XL a couple of months ago. It was much cheaper than the Pixel 3s were going for.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] dishe2:
Yikes, the battery bit that hard over 2 years, huh?

I bought a Galaxy S10 used that still has decent battery, and my LG G7 which is around the same generation as the Pixel 3 still can go all day. Is the Pixel battery just more prone to conking out early? She could use my LG but honestly I sold her on the Gcam, dual selfies and unlimited google photo storage (she's been using compressed storage for photos since it was free on all phones, and missed the memo about losing all her storage space earlier this year).

Here's the thing:

If I get it from Swappa, it comes with a 3-month Mint SIM trial prepaid. She's on Google Voice so I tend to swap plans around whenever there's a deal, so that knocks about $45 off the price of the phone since I'd be otherwise paying that $15 a month elsewhere. Still worth getting new over that deal? There are pretty mint ones (9 out of 10 condition) for under $150 there, so total would be ~$100 after service discount.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] dcarvil:
The battery would still last me all day, but it would discharge very fast once it got under 30%. I figured I'd rather replace it than risk losing the phone at a bad time.

As for price, it all depends on what deals you find. I paid $120 for the new Pixel 2 XL a couple of months ago. I get my service for $10 a month (with 500 Mb of data) from RedPocket. I'm quite satisfied with those numbers.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] dishe2:
That's a good deal. Can't find a Pixel 2 right now new. I was paying $10 a month for 1GB of data previously but she's constantly running out from google photos and spotify, so was planning on moving up to $15 for 4GB on Mint anyway. Especially right now, buy 3 months get 3 free. So essentially 7.50 a month for the next 6 months!

However... if I get the free sim from Swappa its probably only 3 months. Either way, a good deal. If I buy new from Ebay (even if I could find it), I'd still have to pay for a Mint sim
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
I recently bought a 'Mint' Lg G8 on swappa, and it 'looked' pretty close to mint, very light small scratches on back. But when I modified the rom so I could see the 'svc menu', the battery stat indicated it had been fully cycled about 280 times. Research indicates a battery should last from 300 to 500 cycles. And just like dcarvil, this G8, when it gets to about 30%, it' drops fast. Incredibly fast.

Other phones I've bought on swappa that were 'open box', actually were exactly that, virtually new. Now we see sellers describe it as 'open box'... without the box!!

It's all anecdotal, some good, some bad, we take our chances.

cheers, good luck.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] elkinm:
The Pixel 3 XL is still a great phone and should last a while. The processor is about the same as the Pixel 5.

I would recommend looking on Swappa as it is stricter than Ebay on quality and even a Fair Swappa phone is quite good and should describe the defects in the listing.

On swappa, the cheapest verizon and sprint 3 XL are under $100, but the Google or Tmobile version (which can be boot-loader unlocked and rooted are up to $150. Also notice that at $200 and above you can even get the Pixel 4 XL. Also, the 3a XL may be a cheap option, but it has slower processors so not as good, but still better than the old Nokia 7.1.

I definitely recommend one where the boot-loader is unlock-able as it opens up many options. To stay completely stock or unlock and use any OS build she would like.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] dishe2:
I found a swappa 128 gb in good condition for $120, and it's supposed to be the Google version so bootloader unlockable!

Just ordered it. I've heard mixed things about the latest A12 roms, so I like the idea of keeping it unlockable for customs. Are there are any good aftermarket roms that stay close to stock re: network function (VOLTE)?

I've have bad experience with Lineage based roms in the past because networks like Tmobile where I live rely on VOLTE for decent calling support.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
bad experience with lineage because u need volte? Volte works perfectly on lineage, sorry but your comment in that regard makes no sense. I had a pix 3 with lineage and volte and vowifi worked perfectly on it.

cheers
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] dishe2:
Well not on LG or Samsung devices that I've owned. Or Moto.

This is my first pixel, maybe it's different?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
Well yes it is different. LG and Sammy for sure have proprietary IMS implementations, I'm not sure about Moto. What that means is that if the proprietary implementation can't be ported, then things like volte will only work on stock.

Hello,

I have a 4gb Class 4 microsd for my Cruise,

considering getting a 8gb Class 6.

Has anybody tested both of these speeds to see if there are any difference on read/write performances??

thanks a lot..

in.
[General Accessories] m.carroll:
not sure but i think power consumption is also a concern. i understand that 4vs6 is about a 2MBps difference, however i think class 6 draws more power. anyone care to comment?
[General Accessories] Raziel1:
Thats really not woth anything. if you are considering upgrading because of speed, then look at the specs not the class. class just says what minimal speed it should have.

so class 4 = 4MB class 6=6MB. but there are much faster cards out there. even before those class 6 came out. You could go and buy the

"SanDisk Secure Digital High Capacity Extreme III 8GB"

it has around 20MB speed. :)
[General Accessories] inthemerde:
Obviously I m for the speed difference. But I think you r missing a point here, I m talking about a microSD (class 2,4,6). the one u r referring to is a normal size SDHC card.

Yes, the power comsumption might be a slight problem, but I can cope with that, I m interested in faster transfer rates.

Any other ideas folks?
[General Accessories] Raziel1:
i your right, i didn't see that. but still, you should take a look at the extreme series of Sandisk. they have got the fastest cards out there
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] LC76:
HI all, I have a problem with Bluetooth on the following A-MEDIA AUTO head unit:

Model

PX6(1280x720)

Android version 10

Build number rk3399-userdebug 10 QQ2A.200305.004.A1 eng.hct.20210902163038 test-keys

Kernel version

4.19_111+

#158 Wed Aug 11 15:57:41 CST 2021

MCU version

MTCE_CHS_V3.76_1

May 13 2021 15:42:50

CPU

Dual-core Cortex-A72 @ 1.8G

Quad-core Cortex-A53 @ 1.5G

Memory

3841MB

I know Bluetooth problems appear to be legion on these Chinese head units, but maybe someone can help me sort this out. Now there is no problem pairing any device with a PIN: mobile phones and OBD2 dongles pair up just fine. But I have a lot of Bluetooth devices and applications that communicate directly - no pairing required - such as battery monitors, BMSs, mobile phone repeater units. These devices/applications used to work on my old Android 9 head unit (different chipset entirely), but now on this new Rockchip 3399 Android 10 unit, none of them can communicate at all.

I'm not sure if it's an Android 10 problem, or (more likely I suspect) a broken Bluetooth implementation in the MCU. Another problem is that audio pass-through from the mobile phone doesn't work at all, even though all other phone operations work as they should.

The Bluetooth driver setting in the unit is set to WQ_RF210. I've tried all of the other settings for fun, but of course there was no improvement.

Is anyone able to shed any light on this?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] getoffmeluckycharms:
Did you try to hard spl it? You need to downgrade your spl to 1.04 and then try from there. Make sure that you use activesync and then click auto detect. Try it again but make sure your not running any programs while doing so.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
You need to remember too that sometimes the telco "brand" the Hermes with bad blocks. Generally 2. Telstra Australia used to, not sure anymore.

So saying, you can't fix the bad blocks if your SPL is higher than 1.10. You need to downgrade your SPL, fix the bad blocks then flash hard SPL again.

Good afternoon,

Recently bought a housing for my trinity. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=120315350939)

The product was not expensive when compared to others, and it is the original cover from HTC. I have the white one, so i wanted to try the black.

The product came as quicker than expected and in perfect conditions. Also, the seller offers a complete kit to disassemble the Trinity. Checked the Dimantos tutorial (to whom i'd like to thank) in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=311463 and dissassembled my old cover.;)

The black cover i bought didn't even have the LEDs, the camera protection, the buttons (camera, power) - Well, i thought, i can reuse the old ones. And so i did.:eek:

But, unfortunately, when trying to fasten the screw, i realised it's just plastic (there nothing in the cover to "receive" the screw:mad:) and its impossible to fasten them.:confused:

Also, i'd like to know if its possible to buy those little golden pieces, since i don't want to break the other cover to take them out.

Thanks in advance

If you don't find "little gold pieces" here what you can do...

Fasten the screw in golden pieces but only a half way, than take tweezers, grab screw, and pull it out..

Warm golden pieces with lighter (also use tweezers) and stick them in new housing...

Thanks a lot for the files Mattie.

My experience with OOS 12 so far has been a nightmare, and I'm not even rooted.

For the record:

I was coming from OOS 11 not the latest version previous to OOS 12, rooted, pretty much stable but I felt the phone pretty slow in comparison to other (Long story short, I got a brand new OnePlus 8 I bought almost a year ago but couldn't get my hands on it, so after getting tired of waiting for it, bought the OP9).

My OP8 is not rooted, doesn't have the bootloader unlocked, and it's miles faster than my OP9 with about the same apps installed with the exception of the apps that require root.

So, since my OP9 was feeling slow in comparison, I decided to go at OOS 12 to see how it went. First experience was bad, the phone kept hanging, didn't read the SIM correctly at first, so I read someone that was suggesting to do a factory reset to fix some issues.

I did a factory reset, deleted everything on the phone to start OOS 12 from zero, and the phone keeps hanging, specially when I get phone calls via Whatsapp or other apps, and less but still some problems with "answering incoming phone calls".

At this point I rather try to downgrade to OOS 11 and sit this one out for a long while.

I thought about rooting OOS 12, but being honest, having root is not going to make the phone more stable or anything. I guess I'll do give it a try at OOS 12 in 3-6months after a couple of updates, maybe other versions are better.

Does anyone else have the issue of their touchscreen not functioning when they install the A12 update? Ive tried installing twice and both times my screen would not register any touches only the volume and power buttons functioned?

EDIT: NVM I MSM'd back to stock and upgraded to OOS 12 before unlocking the bootloader.
[OnePlus 9] applyscience:
if you are looking for performance, look into kernels and/or just use a kernel manager.

out of all the Roms I've tried (all but the latest havok release) crDroid is the best performance option I get from a ROM on O09. that piared with optional GApps and frequent OTA updates, its the best thing out so far. the OTA even works perfectly at retaining root without any user input. (but do a backup before reboot, its still technically a dirty flash so play safe)
[OnePlus 9] ACEBILBO-I:
I don't want to get too off-topic, but figured I'd save a MSM wipe to some people, I can confirm this works, but only using the latest version of Magisk (v24), temporary boot will not work with v23 (the last one with MagiskHide), it caused Qualcomm crashdump and no recovery or fastbootd.

If anyone looks into other root spoofing solutions with the newer version v24, from Magisk settings use Zygisk, select apps using Enforced Denylist, and Universal SafetyNet Fix, there is also Shamiko, which I haven't tested personally.

From my own experience, DenyList+Universal SafetyNet fix+Selinux Switch if you need to switch between permissive and enforced Selinux are enough. Apps won't get to know there is root, safetynet is passed, and selinux checks are passed (that one took me a long while to figure out)
