[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
My network progression here started with Cricket (when they had their own CDMA network) when I was 17 for like a month then it went VoiceStream (T-Mobile) > Sprint > AT&T > T-Mobile > AT&T > Verizon > T-Mobile > Verizon > T-Mobile. Verizon is actually the worst here with T-Mobile and AT&T trading blows so I just stuck with T-Mobile since the MVNO I have is much cheaper than what I could get from AT&T. I haven't really had any reliability issues around the Denver area but I am not someone who actually talks on the phone a lot so that probably helps.

My roommate has T-Mobile and he complains from time to time about his coverage when traveling but I don't hear much from him about it otherwise.

I get annoyed with the fact that AT&T can get over 200Mbps on LTE here while T-Mobile keeps kicking me to their n71 standalone network that can't get over 20Mbps most of the time instead of their n41 but I don't really use a ton of data so I just shut 5G off and use LTE. 50-100Mbps is fine for what I do.

As for the flagship pricing, I agree with you. I struggle with the idea of going for midrangers though because they usually have too many compromises for me, especially in the screen. I can't go back to LCD, I'm too spoiled with OLED. I bought the OnePlus 9 hoping I would use it for a couple years but I have poor self control and will probably end up with a Pixel 7 Pro unless Google uses a curved display again. I used to buy iPhones so $600 vs $1100 isn't a bad deal and this is a pretty nice device once you work around the software.
[OnePlus 9] Superguy:
Heh, sounds like you're an old fart like me. I started in college in the late 90s with VoiceStream (ok, with a pager before that :D). They were ok, but my home area was pretty small (was in Utah, so pretty much Ogden, Salt Lake and down a bit south of Provo). My first phone was a crap Mitsubishi that was just awful. I got to know of the the guys at a store and he got me sold on the Nokias. I was able to get an analog sleeve for it so I at least had some options out in the desert.

I ended up switching to AT&T as they were a little more expensive but the call quality was better. I ended up staying there for a couple years and their network went to crap in the area. It was oversubscribed and was dropping calls. Switched to Verizon. While the phone service was good, the customer service was awful there. When my contract was up, I had moved to Maryland at that point so I switched to Cingular, which I was generally happy with. Stuck with them thru the AT&T merger for awhile, then went back to Verizon for awhile as they were the first with reliable LTE in the area. Ended up going back to AT&T when I started traveling internationally for work.

The T-Mobile experiment was this past summer and that blew up in my face. The only other carrier my wife would consider at this point is Verizon, but they don't work for some of the family we have on the plan.

I remember when Cricket came out, with the big green couch. My neighbor had them and they seemed to work well for him.

AT&T's generally done well for me. Tethered here at work today, I was pulling about 100 Mb down on average.

I prefer OLED, but LCD doesn't bother me too much as long as it's a quality screen. I used HTC a lot back in the day and most of their screens were LCD. I think Moto's Droid Bionic's was the worst with the awful screen door effect. I just couldn't stand that.

I'm not a fan of curved screens either. Had them on the OP7 Pro and an S8 and I just didn't like them. I've ended up avoiding a lot of phones that could have been good fits otherwise. Apple just isn't going to happen in our house. They're banned. :D I wouldn't stop one of the kids from having one if they wanted to buy it on their own, but not with my money. :D

I've considered Pixels as well, but I just can't get past the hardware issues each one always seems to have, and Google never seems to be in a rush to fix them. They seem to have lost HTC's quality when they bought the IP from them.
[OnePlus 9] imna357:
Damn your right, I received a text, then after installing 3 different ROMS in 3 days, my DATA wouldn't work, unless on WiFi, tried everything, MSM, factory reset nothing, then I gave up call At&t and they turn it back on, not sure how long it will last though, I read somewhere that when your IMEI starts with 8601 instead of 35 it gets boot out.
[OnePlus 9] imna357:
I really like this phone, the NA version is only single sim, need a dual one, but my question is, will I be boot out again, coz if it is, I am still on the return period at Amazon🤔
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
You will definitely get booted again. You will have to decide between dual SIM and having AT&T. People using the T-Mobile models on AT&T are in for a rude awakening too. Unless there is legal/regulatory action that forces AT&T to stop booting phones, which is unlikely at this point, everyone on AT&T will be required to have a whitelisted device by the end of the year (although likely by the end of the summer when T-Mobile shuts down their 3G).

It wouldn't surprise me if by the end of this year, none of the three carriers take international models that companies haven't paid to certify, because it means more phone sales for them and another mandatory lock in period since most people will finance them too.
[OnePlus 9] Superguy:
My IMEI starts with 9900.

There's going to be hell to pay if they boot me. Previous iterations of the chart didn't list model numbers, and they approved it when I brought it over.

I'm not buying a Samsung either.
[OnePlus 9] applyscience:
i have a 9 and 6 and would totally trad emy 6 for another 9. 9 running derp launcher and loving it. 6 has lineage 19.1 (and OIS, lol) idk
[OnePlus 9] imna357:
Geez, thanks for the info, I'll probably return the phone and get the single sim😭
[ZTE Axon M Questions & Answers] xenichenherz:
Hello everyone,

I was considering to buy the Axon M because I like foldable phones (the samsung fold is way too expensive so I chose this one) and I'd like to have one for watching Youtube, browsing the internet and some gaming. I have found sites offering this phone for 300€ (I'm not sure if that's a good deal, but I can't find it for a cheaper price) saying it's from Europe. The problem is: I've heard there has never been an european version.

Does anyone know if it works in Europe even if it might be from somewhere else? And where is the Android 8 update? I know it exists but no site has talked about it.

After upgrading from the oficially 6.0 to the oficially 6.1 I noticed that when I'm in contacts and select any letter to search for a contact, the first contact of that letter displays at the bottom of the screen, while in 6.0 it displayed at the top of the screen.

I like the old way, putting the first contact at the top.

Is there any settings or tweak to have this again?:confused:
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] cbasualdo:

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] cbasualdo:
Well, at least I don't feel alone any more. Perhaps some of our gurus came with a solution ...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] timmymarsh:
Guys,

I think this is a 6.1 bug, as i have had this issue on my imate Jamin, flashed to 6.1 cooked rom.

Just my thoughts.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] mearly:
No you are not alone, same thing here,

when I choose a letter in Contacts, the the first name with that letter is displayed at the bottom of screen, hence one have to scroll from there to display the rest of names.

Apparently this is a WM6.1 bug. In WM5 & WM6 the letter chosen used to display at the top of screen each time.

Another Microsoft screw up.

I wonder when will they ever take their work seriously!!!!

Can someone come up with a registry fix for that?
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] ARHG:
Hi, I'm new to the forum and new to Xiaomi smartphones.

I recently bought a used Redmi Note 9. When I bought it everything was working fine, but I had the bright idea to factory reset it and realized I had a custom ROM installed. This ROM was not working very well and a friend told me that it is better to return it to the Stock ROM. I had never done that so they helped me do it. The problem is that now to be able to use the phone it asks me for a password of an MI account. I was unaware that a password was required.

The phone is linked to an unknown number, I have no way of locating the previous owner, and I really need to be able to use the phone.

They tell me that if I install a custom ROM I can use the phone without any problem and here I have several questions.

Which is the custom ROM that will work best with the Redmi Note 9 and has support.

How can I unlock the bootloader (I have read in my google searches that it needs to be unlocked, but if I can't access the phone I don't know what to do to unlock it)

And where do I get instructions on how to install a custom ROM under the circumstances of my phone. I am not technical and I need instructions that a normal user can follow to install a custom ROM.

Somebody could help me?

Currently my screen is shown like this.

[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] NOSS8:
If you have a custom rom, the device is unlocked.

Restart the phone and look at the top on the first screen is the padlock open or closed?
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] ARHG:
Hi

The first screen when turning it on does not show any lock. There is only an open padlock on the screen where it asks me to activate the device or open the WIFI settings.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] ARHG:
When I bought the phone it had a custom ROM, but a friend flashed the phone with Stock ROM. It currently has the Stock ROM.

[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] NOSS8:
You can try with miflash, if the bootloader is locked the flash will not work and if it is unlocked your phone should work.

But always the same without the Xiaomi account return you to the starting point.

If there was a custom rom, install the Twrp then format the data and install an AOSP rom.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] ARHG:
Should I then flash the phone with Stock ROM? or should i use a stock rom? if i use stock rom i always need MI account password right?

Hi. My Note 9 is working now. No more MI account troubles. Thank you for all your support.

I am testing my phone with the new custom ROM and everything is fine. Some slight lag when scrolling through google news or youtube, but none of that is a big deal. The only thing I didn't like was the camera app. The shutter is too slow and I can't set the pixel resolution when taking pictures. It also doesn't give me many configuration options in video. In general, it does not allow much configuration. I have already tried with Google Cam, GCam, Cam Go and ANXCamera, but in general they have the same limitations. It doesn't make sense that the phone has 4 sensors and they can't be used. Is there an application for the camera that allows me to have more control over the configuration and use the 4 sensors? Better if it is a free app.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] LR7875:
Hi! Glad you got your phone working.

Maybe try this xiaomi camera port? But it is a little bit old, so I am not sure will it work now.

https://xdaforums.com/t/port-miui-camera-universal-port.3707330/

(Yeah, I don’t think using this port now is a good idea given it’s age. It most likely will not support a high resolution.)

There are other more recent camera apps ports you can try, like this oneplus camera port:

OnePlus/Oppo Apps Port

OnePlus or Oppo Apps Ported or Modded

I am 99.9 percent sure that they still have the same problem, but that’s what I found😅 sorry
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] ARHG:
I finally managed to install ANX Camera on my Redmi Note 9. At the moment it is working fine. And I consider that a little better than GCam. Of course I am not an expert in photography and I am just venturing into the Custom ROMS, so it may be that my perception of ANX Camera is not the most objective and expert. But it works and it is supposed that with ANX Camera I can use the 4 sensors and the 48 mpx.
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] LR7875:
Glad you found a good one! I am not suprised by that as ANX camera is meant to based on miui camera so it should be more optimised for xiaomi phones.

I know it may sound weird but is there a way(app or something) that would allow to use the second flash for the flashlight? So far only the camera app uses both of them.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajthealchemist:
As far as I understand, the sound level of any file containing audio, such as music or video files, is defined in the file itself. Thus, setting the sound level effectively changes the percentage of the max sound pressure defined in the file. (Please do correct me if I'm wrong)

My question: Is it possible to set an "absolute" sound level so that the media files being played actually follow that setting? This way there won't be media files which are louder or quieter than others at the same sound level setting.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] radi0chik:
This has just started recently... but I've made so many changes, I'm not sure which one affected it. When typing a new or replying to a SMS or email, occasionally (key word there) the letters that I'm typing won't show up. The cursor moves - and if/when I send it, all the letters I've typed will send. Also if I save it as a draft, then re-open it, it shows everything... then I can type a few more letters, and it blanks out again. Any suggestions or help as to what this is? It's only in the message entry part of the screen; I can still see the start menu and bottom menu bars.

Thanks!

If it is only happening in Landscape mode then turn of ClearType font. Cleartype font no longer displays correctly in WM 6.1 in landscape mode. There is a setting in KaiserTweaks that says it will but it only forces something and makes it so text does not display at all.

This is happening to me as well!!!

This is also happening to me. I installed a couple of programs recently including the HTC update to fix the backlight issue, Pocket Sudoku, The RR Keyboard Speed increase cab, Raisak's Flatbar black, and Pocket RAR. Did you install any of these recently? :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] radi0chik:
I did install the RR keyboard - but none of the others and I haven't done the backlight fix. My messages were lagging bigtime - not the stereotypical missing the occasional letter because I type too fast, but I'd click on new sms and it'd literally take 30 seconds or longer to open. I don't know that i've fixed it but I disabled HTC home and HTC homeplugin and then ran the RR keyboard cab, then enabled the HTC apps. I haven't been able to make it mess up again...yet.

*edit* its still having issues. But I can't figure out why sometimes it works just fine and others I literally have to soft reset it to get it to respond.
[General Topics] teknolojiazmani:
I've been wanting to learn TWRP porting for a long time. Using Carliv Image Kitchen program, I have managed to port TWRP to 3-4 phones without any problems so far. I currently have a device. This is a tablet and its processor is Speadtrum 7731c, branded as "Reeder". Android version 6.0.

First I ported twrp using Carliv Image Kitchen. TWRP screen did not come, but TWRP functions and touch were working without any problems. I was even able to open the sideload via adb and perform the operations I wanted. I haven't been able to solve the problem.

Then I found "[Hovatek] Qualcomm Auto TWRP Recovery Porter V1.2 by Team Hovatek" tool. When I traded with this program, I reached the TWRP screen. But there is still one more problem. There is a 90 degree difference between the screen image and the touchscreen. While the TWRP screen is horizontal, the touchscreen works vertically. It can also be used this way, but I'm looking for a solution to this problem. What suggestion can you make about it?

I searched the internet and found the following results, but I came across the following situations.

1- Information: Open the .twrps file in the TWRP folder in the main directory with a text editor and set tw_rotation 0.

Result: When I open the .twrps file with notepad++, it does not open completely, some characters cannot be displayed, but I still made tw_rotation 0 between the codes there, still I could not reach a result. Because every time I restart TWRP the .twrps file is regenerated.

2- Information: Open the file named default.prop with the text editor and set the value ro.sf.hwrotation=270 to ro.sf.hwrotation=0.

Result: When I do this and re-flash TWRP, nothing changes.

3- Information: Replacing the files named portrait.xml, splash.xml, twrp and ui.xml in the twres folder with the appropriate files

Result: I couldn't find the right files. I have twrp files that work fine on other tablets. I took the files named portrait.xml, splash.xml, twrp and ui.xml from those TWRP files and tried them. The TWRP screen is completely gone.

As a result, the same problem still persists. I look forward to your help in this matter. Thank you very much in advance.
