Does someone have oems from 1.5.20 ??
[Vivo X70 Pro+] redwatch99:
Have tried to get back to origin os but the phone just reboting over and over , where did i do wrong ?
[Vivo X70 Pro+] JUMEX30:
Hi everyone. I installed the version of funtouch it works very well, i flashed persist.img of my origin backup and locked bootloader again Fingerprint reader works fine and super fluid funtouch os THE ONLY DETAIL IS THE DM-VERITY MESSAGE SYSTEM EXCEPTION the rest works very very fine
[Vivo X70 Pro+] redwatch99:
The problem you have now is that you locked the bootloader , cyz now u cant get rid of the message , never lock the bootloader
[Vivo X70 Pro+] Killuminati91:
Why the hell would you lock the bootloader on a phone that can only be unlocked via a glitch in earlier firmware, cmon man.
[Vivo X70 Pro+] JUMEX30:
Only i want funtouch OS all works very fine, locked bootloader is no problem for me, If I want to open bootloader later, I just do a test point and that's it, for the moment that's fine, regards
[Vivo X70 Pro+] ricky65:
hi, after your x70 pro+ into funtouch os, is everything ok？

if I want to turn origin ocean os to funtouch ,just follow the step

but my os now is origin os ocean 3, do I need to downgrade the system.

the origin ocean cann't use google backup and google account ....

Hello everyone here, I've followed the op steps and end up with completely dead bricked Vivo X80 pro after flashing all modified files it's booted in black screen and never went on anymore :cry:

Any help is appreciated

Best regards
[Vivo X70 Pro+] JakoDel:
bruv why did you flash modified files made for the x70
[Vivo X70 Pro+] ferasoss:
Hello, I modified the x80 pro files accordingly.
[Vivo X70 Pro+] JakoDel:
and that still happened? would you mind sharing what you did? Id like to do something similar with an X Fold but if only X70 users have managed to do it Id rather not risk turning it into a brick :/

also, you may be able to recover it with AFTool if you still have it
[Vivo X70 Pro+] ferasoss:
In fact I don't recommend this but you can follow this forum to modify X fold firmware but take in consideration that you maybe end up with a completely bricked phone like me even AFTool can't retrieve it.

Have the S22 ultra. My last 2 Samsung headphone Jack's broke in a month. That's wild!

Read in their site and seems it's a common thing that's an expensive fix and I'd prefer to spend more and have one that works vs having to do this every other month.

Any good feedback?
[General Accessories] vectron:
Are you talking about usb-c to 3.5mm headphone adapter/dongle? There are hundreds of those out there, Apple usb-c to 3.5mm is around $9, great sound quality. But either way, nothing gonna last. So, why not just go Bluetooth, use TWS earphones?
[Google Pixel 6] isenki:
I got my 6 Pro in December. It had the November update on it. The fingerprint reader was and still is god awful - it's my biggest complaint. Had the 3 XL before and never had a single issue with it. Just did the February update yesterday and now my WiFi and Bluetooth has gone to complete and utter ****. Constant disconnects, constant drop outs. I'm really tired of this "flagship" phone :/

Another one-post wonder? Or is it the same one-post wonder making a sock-puppet account?

Rants don't do anything except make you look unhinged. Seriously, we all get it: the phone isn't perfect. I know it feels good to express yourself and moan to the entire world about how the device didn't meet with your expectations, but this is a discussion forum. We discuss things. If you want to rant, there's always Reddit and its r/Pixel subnet.
[Google Pixel 6] vandyman:
What about Black Berry OS, Windows ce mobile, and Apple IOS.? What can you do with them?

With that said, Google devices are needed for Android development for all of androids future.
[Google Pixel 6] axelmasok:
I love to join in a good rant usually.

Well not what you want to hear, but I'm OK with my Pixel 6.

I'm sure you will get a good price if you list yours and buy something else.

Then join the discussion group over there and rant on about how good or bad your new phone is.
[Google Pixel 6] msgranger12:
Hey,

I brought google pixel on my birthday (29th of november) last year, it been nearly 6 months since i brought it and is working perfectly fine for me. If your facing such issues why dont you resell it at a good price and then purchase a newer one with better features.
[Google Pixel 6] aleck0112:
not the greatest. coming from a oneplus im really missing some small features that i used a lot with the oneplus. Also, absolutely hating the combined internet qs tile. tard move from google
[Google Pixel 6] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Better Internet Tiles both here in XDA and in the Play Store will resolve the combined tile issue.

As for your missing small features, what are they?
[Google Pixel 6] DamDaDi:
I bought it last September and it's still sleeping in my drawer. Sometimes calls drop out and the battery drains quickly, so I'm not using it yet. From what I've read here, US consumers are really generous with businesses.
[Google Pixel 6] mr.serfus:
i'm actually pretty much enjoy the phone... coming from a galaxy which gave me many troubles this phone is a breeze
[Google Pixel 6] Ictcreations:
I also don't tend to rant unless something really REALLY upsets me... Some of you may have seen my post as an example on the pixel flasher thread.... HOWEVER...

For all the issues regarding signal drop/wifi dissapearing and the countless other issuea people have been reporting, i can 110% say that i have experienced NONE of them whatsoever.

What i can say is that for some wierd reason over the past week or so, my battery has been draining like nobodys business with absolutely no change to apps on my phone.

I could not work out what the hell was going on. After searching for many battery saving tips, the 3 things i have done are...

uninstalled all google play services updates and cleared data/cache;

uninstalled all carrier services updates and removed from beta program;

And what i believe has been the biggest battery drain recently is..

Gone into developer settings and turned OFF the "keep mobile data always active when on wifi" option

I noticed that overnight there has recently been massive increase in mobile network drain and couldnt understand why, but since doing all of the above, the last 48hrs have seen a massive improvement.

Other than that, i cannot fault the pixel 6 at all :)
[Google Pixel 6] aleck0112:
it doesn't though does it?

Better Internet Tiles with a non rooted device will only work once. When i turn the wifi off it breaks the wireless debugging with shizuku and the tile doesnt work anymore.
[Google Pixel 6] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
That is something to bring up to the developer if his app is causing Shizuku to stop working. Otherwise PEBKAC.

[Google Pixel 6a] isenki:
As a Pixel 6 user, I don't like it. The compromises aren't worth the $150 less. It doesn't even have the A-Series touches (headphone jack, rear-fingerprint, etc.) like the 5a did. Sure, it's a solid phone, but if you're buying a phone for more than a year, it's definitely worth the extra 33%. Then again people buy the iPhone SE and that's literally the iPhone 8 with the A15.
[Google Pixel 6a] aniruddhavispute:
And is an especially bad device for Indian audience. 6A is the first pixel that we are getting after 4a. and yet with 60hz screen and subpar specs.
[Google Pixel 6a] mohan226:
Me from previous years would have complained, because obviously we have much better phones for cheaper but I can't understand how, out of all these phone companies which keep popping up every day, only 3 seem to care about compact phones (Samsung, Apple, Google).

I wanted to gift my father a new phone, he's been using a Poco F1 and he hates every phone that is larger than that.

What are the options now? Spend more to get the S21/22 or the iPhone 12/13 or just get the Pixel 6a because there are no other options.

Personally, having changed from a Poco X2 to an S22, at this point, I feel like larger phones are overrated.

In conclusion, I'm not saying the 6a is good, definitely not at that price, but it's the only one that matches the requirement.
[Google Pixel 6a] bobby janow:
I went to Best Buy today to look at the phone. The size is perfect. I'm trading in my Pixel 6 which I hate for the 6a and they are giving me a $250 trade-in. So for 2 bills I get the phone I want not the behemoth that I have now. Your father will love it, it's slimmer and noticeably smaller in the hand. I'd get it from Google but they don't offer a trade in for the P6.
[Google Pixel 6a] ILoveAndroidCustomization:
Google really said **** you to the Indian Market 😆😅.
[Google Pixel 6a] Dadud:
I'm buying it to upgrade my 4a 5g. Literally don't care about the bells and whistles. It's a high end budget phone.
[Google Pixel 6a] Geo411m:
I hate to say this but I got 300 trade-in for an old 3a plus free pixel buds on google's store.
[Google Pixel 6a] jawiler:
Yep, I did the same, couldn't pass up the deal
[Google Pixel 6a] bobby janow:
I can't do that unfortunately. BB at $250 with free buds for a cracked P6 is still pretty good.
[Google Pixel 6a] Geo411m:
For a cracked screen. absolutely agree with you.
[Google Pixel 6a] Geo411m:
Yes, WAY too good to passup.
[Google Pixel 6a] bobby janow:
Not a cracked screen just a slight crack in the back at the bottom. Hardly noticeable but there nonetheless.
[Google Pixel 6a] clairelara:
I think they should've put Gorilla glass Victus or 5 and a glass back panel cause they both are very common in all mid-range phones! I ordered this phone only for the Camera because I love Gcam...
[Google Pixel 6a] Cheesethief:
From everything I have seen and from every Jerryrig video, iterations of Gorilla Glass are meh at best. Glass is glass and it will break and it will scratch at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7. Shatter resistance improvements are marginal at best. Those fancy videos that Corning puts out are framed in the most ideal way possible. It's like taking a tall glass and slamming it on the table. It won't break because the bottom of the glass is reinforced. Take that same glass and slam it down on the lip where it is thinnest and it will shatter.

I just always get a glass screen protector and a case. Better safe than sorry and better have a phone than be without for days to weeks because of repairs.
[Google Pixel 6a] edufur:
I thought I would love the front thumb print scanner... but it is kind of annoying to have to press the power button first and then scan. On the bright side, there are fewer accidental triggers. But I dont know if that is worth it. Also, I miss the 3.5 headphone jack. :-(

Other than those things, it seems pretty similar to the 5a to me. Roughly the same battery drain. I am sure I will see some performance gain eventually. Just not noticing it yet.
[Google Pixel 6a] neo_lithic3K:
I hear what you're saying. I had the Pixel 4XL and face unlock was amazing. I literally only had to pick up the phone and it would detect my face almost immediately.

You mentioned that it's annoying to have to press the power button first and then scan finger. You could set the phone to detect when you pick up or tap/touch the phone. That way, screen turns on and you can scan your finger without having to press the power button.
[Google Pixel 6a] edufur:
Update... this phone is in need of serious updates. I have lots of apps going non responsive and even the google assistant struggles. 5G is really bad and the GPS is occasionally confused. All around, I almost want to go back to my 5a.
[Google Pixel 6a] TechX1991:
The 6a feels cheap. I like the size of it, I don't care about 60 vs 90+ refresh rate, I wish finger print sensor was still on the back. The 6 and 6 pro feel great in the hand.

If I was going to buy a Pixel #A device, I'd get the 5A or 4A 5G. I wouldn't shell out for a 6a that's new. If I was to get a 6A, I'd wait a year and buy it dumb cheap used
[Google Pixel 6a] bobby janow:
Traded in my behemoth P6 (not even the pro) and will not look back. This feels great in the hand even with a minimal case which I use when I'm off the carpet of my home. The only thing that compares to this is the P5 which I never should have sold as quickly as I did. But I'm enjoying the P6a experience as of now.
[Google Pixel 6a] ctfrommn:
Honestly it depends on what youre coming from. This is worlds more premium feeling vs the 3a and 4a. Never held the 4a 5g or 5a so I cant speak to those. I was also intending on just picking up a used 5a as I rarely ever buy the newest phone but the $300 trade in of my 3a + free buds was too good to pass up. The 3a XL was $479 new in 2019 and its no where near this nice or powerful.

Just my $.02 anyway
[Google Pixel 6a] sic0048:
While I also bought (for my wife) a P6a due to the exaggerated preorder trade-in values and free earbuds, I agree that it's not worth the $450 retail price. I too would also recommend that people get the P6 over the P6a - either by sending a little more money for new stock, or by buying a used P6 which is about the same price as a new P6a at retail pricing.

The P6 isn't perfect, but the P6a is going to suffer from the same issues as the P6 and then have it's own issues on top of that. It's certainly worth the cost over the P6a.
[Google Pixel 6a] piperx:
Same here
[Google Pixel 6a] TechX1991:
I only know all this stuff and have the experience because I work in a small warehouse/tech shop and get new and used phones constantly to resell. I've handled and messed with everything from pixel 1 to razer phones to essentials to fake galaxy s22's.

I'm sure some form of deal will come up for the 6a soon to lower the price
[Google Pixel 6a] ctfrommn:
The current trade in deal is the best Ive ever seen Google offer and Ive owned Google phones since the Nexus One.
[Google Pixel 6a] Proud2banoob:
Hey. Finally got my 6a delivered to my house and spent yesterday setting it up. I'm very happy. There were some tricky bits with setting up Nova, but that seems resolved, now. I'm coming from a P4a, and i love that the 6a inserts punctuation into my voice to text messages (sometimes). The size was the reason I got it and it's really hardly any bigger than the 4a. The fingerprint sensor is a little finicky, but no other fingers unlock the phone if they're not registered (i have both thumbs saved).
[Google Pixel 6a] kkjb:
I waited and waited for a P6, just for the camera. Been using Nexus 5, 5x, 2, 3, 3a, 4a 4a5g. Watching swap.a for months on a used P6, when the store deal was at its best $449, and trade in of P3 (my favorite but battery very weak: never 5g) @ $49 was a chance to get cheaper than used!

So on to the 6a....P6 is very nice to hold....but it's freaking huge (see my previous ones ..never xl's) and yes Camera was my worthwhile improvement.

So out of the blue here and on /And..id9-5/ saw the freaking trade in deals for preorder 6a.. almost dead battery 4a5g bought used a year earlier $175 ==>$300 !!!

6a immediate purchase.....yes it's cheaper feeling, it was cheaper. Could I complain about BL unlock issues.....no it's cheaper....and I corrected that. But wait....pixel a buds free? !!!!

I'm very happy with my P6 and P6a.

So don't hesitate to not buy a P6A...
[Google Pixel 6a] ap1618:
what are peeps doing about the overheating?

I worry for the battery longevity in terms of battery health if it's going to be in constant heat like this...
[Google Pixel 6a] ctfrommn:
Haven't had any heating issues. This phone runs cooler then my 3a did
[Google Pixel 6a] arsenal74:
I am really enjoying my 6a but it is bitter sweet in a way in that I wish there was a flagship phone at this size. I do not miss 90 or 120hz at all which I was surprised about but little things like wireless charging are a miss. Also as someone who does not use cases I am worried as to how the plastic back will hold up in terms of scratches etc
[Google Pixel 6a] sic0048:
I understand your point and agree with it.

My only comment is that you really need to compare the 3a to the 6a. The 3a price was $399 at release. The extra $80 that the 3a XL cost was simply for the large screen and battery and doesn't correlate to the 6a screen or battery size.

So while the 6a is clearly a much nicer phone that the 3a, it does costs $50 more than the 3a did at release.
[Google Pixel 6a] arsenal74:
There was a 3a XL ???? How did I miss that one!
[Google Pixel 6a] sic0048:
First, people who haven't used both phones will want to know which one to buy. For those of us that have both, the nearly unanimous consensus is that the P6 is "worth" spending $150 more if you are paying full retail value for both. (Obviously presale trade in values and freebees affected the overall price and made the 6a much more attractive during that limited time - it's why I own one now myself instead of two P6).

So it's not that Pixel 6 users care that a stranger buys, but we are trying to give honest opinions to people that will read these threads and what to know what phone to buy.

Second - here are all the reasons why I feel the P6 is worth the extra money:

- Larger screen with a 90hz refresh rate

- Better cameras (taking pictures with my phone is a huge part of my phone experience).

- Two way wireless charging - I don't normally wirelessly charge my phone, but I do wirelessly charge accessories.

- Higher water resistance rating (IP68 vs IP67) - I've taken my P6 in the ocean (to take pictures), had it fully submerged for long periods of time and had no issues.

- Higher screen scratch resistance rating - I've never had a screen protector on my P6 (which I got at release) and there isn't a single scratch on the screen yet. No other phone I've ever owned has been so scratch resistant
[Google Pixel 6a] antonio_d25:
Currently using a pixel 5 and it has been the only phone thus far that I have had longer than a year. I've always been a power user and have always bought the expensive intl. unlocked behemoths from Samsung ( Note and the S-series).

Main reason why I've kept the pixel 5 longer than usual is the size and weight - this phone feels amazing in the hand and is very light. Camera is good but can be very good with the different GCam mods.

WAs thinking to give the 6a a try since the size is perfect also but not sure if it's worth switching the 5 for that. What are the current best deals to switch if they still offer them ? The performance of the 5 is decent but the 6a has the upgraded chips so that's what making me consider switching
[Google Pixel 6a] ctfrommn:
If you can still get the $300 trade in plus free buds thats a pretty unbeatable deal. Not sure if Google is still offering it though.
[Google Pixel 6a] jawiler:
Google just started the $300 trade in again, but no free pixel buds this time. It goes until sometime in September Still a good deal.
[Google Pixel 6a] antonio_d25:
I think they just literally started the trade in again a few minutes ago. I was trying all day clicking the trade-in option and it kept redirecting me to the main google page... Tried from multiple devices also

No buds - but on the flips side - they decreased the price by ~$50 for the pixel 6a.

Tough decision to make now...
[Google Pixel 6a] UberFiend:
I picked this one up because I could trade in my 5a for $300 and I really didn't like it compared to my old 4a. I only got the 5a because Google stopped selling the 4a and my mom needed a phone. Even though they ditched the superior fingerprint reader location and headphone jack, I'm liking this more than the 5a. The size of that thing made it annoying to hold. Albeit there's three things the previous generations had that beats this iteration; the fingerprint reader, headphone jack, and plastic back. I LOVED using my 4a and 5a naked, but this fake glass back is gross. It's slippery and a fingerprint magnet.

Google's phones need to go back to their roots, and bring back the aforementioned features along with an SD card slot.
[Google Pixel 6a] ctfrommn:
The only Google phone that's ever had an SD card was the Nexus One. I'm almost certain at least.

Headphone jack is unneeded. I love and will continue using wired headphones but since I discovered dongle dacs I can't imagine ever using a phone DAC again. It's night and day better sound for very little money.

I definitely liked my FPR on my 3a vs this under screen one but this, the plastic back, and the headphone jack all equal no waterproofing which is more important vs the features.

Plastic back can be fine and I've never liked thick glass backs so I can understand wanting to go back to the 3a/4a style plastic and this phone is definitely slippery when naked.
[Google Pixel 6a] Proud2banoob:
Hello, Pixel 6a thread!

I just wanted to add a trend i have noticed about the dreaded fingerprint sensor. Now that I've had the phone for a week, i can usually unlock it first try. The sensor seems to be quite picky about how I touch the screen. If I use the tip of my thumb, it opens right up. If I use other parts of my thumb, it doesn't. That's only for the right thumb, though. The left is happy unlocking for the flat part of the thumb (and no, no other fingers unlock my phone).

Now, if I can just get signal to work right, we'll be golden.
[Google Pixel 6a] Proud2banoob:
I was also considering the 5 v 6a. I went with the 6a because of the chipset, basically. I believe the camera is the same for both phones, but with the AI computer trickery, the photos that can come out of the 6a are better than the 5 will ever do. Plus, with all the trade in promotions, the 6a can be significantly less expensive.
[Google Pixel 6a] gullkhan0:
How responsive is the fingerprint sensor?
[Google Pixel 6a] Proud2banoob:
For me, i touch the screen and the phone wakes up in about half a second. The under screen reader is a small amount slower than the capacitance reader that was on the back of the phone, but not so's noticable.
[Google Pixel 6a] gullkhan0:
Thank you. How's the phone size? I have smaller hands and 4A felt like perfect fit.

I wonder if it's noticeably bigger or kinda similar. Otherwise I'll return it for Pixel 5, which is pretty much same in size as 4A.
[Google Pixel 6a] Proud2banoob:
I have small hands, as well. I loved the size of the 4a. I bought the 6a because it's pretty much the identical width and only a few mm taller. You should be very happy with the size of the 6a.
[Google Pixel 6a] ctfrommn:
Honestly this shrinking phone size is hard to get used to....I went from the really big (for its time) Nexus 6 to the more manageable 3a XL (same height, narrower vs N6), to this phone which to me honestly feels a bit small. Ill get used to it, but I would definitely prefer something closer to the 3a XL in size. Maybe the 7a or 8a will be closer to this.
[Google Pixel 6a] bobby janow:
It's funny how size matters.. to some. Yes, the 6a is smaller than what you had for sure. It's the reason I got rid of my P6. What made you go with the 6a vs. the 6, price? If so, that's a great reason. I don't think the 7a or the 8a will be larger, at least I hope not, however I believe the P7 will be similar to the P6. And I was almost getting used to the P6 but I was just in denial. No more phones for me over 6.1. Last point, IMO, this device is much better in size than the P5 which my wife still has. You'd totally hate that one.
