[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] WoKoschekk:
Well, I'm holding exactly the same device in my hands right now and two weeks ago I installed TWRP v3.7.0_9-0 on this device. I did exactly the same w/o any error.

[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] Unknown_PL:
it worked but..

i think i need to flash the boot with the fille you send me beacuse my phose is stuck at "Verity mode is set to disabled"\

Update it worked again!

update whe i install module it works but it changes boot to twrp image
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] alexestanislau:
Thanks a lot. That explained why i couldnt get it working. Now.. is there a way to Root the fone with magisk without installing the TWRP?
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] WoKoschekk:
Sure, install the Magisk App and on the mainscreen:

Install > Select and Patch a File > choose your boot.img > Let's go (see screenshots attached).

In your download folder you'll find the »magisk_patched-25200_xxxxx.img« which can be flashed by

fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-25200_xxxxx.img

Another way: Instead of installing TWRP permanently you can also boot TWRP:

fastboot boot TWRP_IMAGE

This command loads TWRP to your RAM from where it boots only once.
[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] alexestanislau:
Did it with booting TWRP instead of flashing.. worked just fine! thanks a lot..
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] lexcyn:
OK this is a weird issue. I have a US model Flip 4 (U1) and flashed the Canadian firmware on it (W model with XAC and also tried with my carrier specific TLS). For some reason, VoLTE registration does not work. My carrier said because the IMEI is showing a U1 model it's not supported. This is strange, considering I had an S22 that was a U1 and worked fine.

Does anyone know if there is a way to force IMS registration? Or is there anyone else in this same situation? I'm not sure I understand what's going on because I was under the impression that as long as the correct CSC was installed the config should just work, unless Samsung changed something with the Flip 4.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] CZ Eddie:
Anyone here coming from the OP 9 Pro?

I'd like to know which screen is easier to read under direct extra-bright sunlight.

And which has louder, fuller sounding speakers?

Anything else you think is interesting to note as a difference.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
The screen on the Pixel is comparable to the 9 Pro. It's got a peak of 1500 nits when on auto. I have zero issues seeing it in the sun.

I didn't have a 9 Pro, I had a 9, but the speakers on the 7 Pro are way better. The 9 had basically no bass to speak of and the 7 Pro has a moderate bass response. It travels through the back of the phone and makes it vibrate in your hands a bit which was unnerving for me at first but the quality is definitely excellent as that was a chief complaint I had about my 9.

I'm loving the fact that apps don't just randomly refresh for no reason. I can swipe away from Chrome and do something without worrying about the page refreshing when I come back. RAM management was always really annoying on OOS12 and would often result in me being unable to log into my accounts because I would swipe away to get my 2FA code and the page would reload. Happy to say that I can actually play games on this thing and come back to what I was doing hours later and it's still there.

The camera is way better on the Pixel side if you like the point and shoot idea. The OnePlus is better if you like to tweak things although I think eventually we will get a nice GCam port that adds all that functionality back to the Pixel as well. I have not been disappointed with a single picture I have just randomly snapped with the Pixel whereas the OnePlus I never trusted it to get it right on the first so I took 3 or 4 and checked them out later.

Battery life for me has been better than my 9 but this seems to really vary for people and comes down to how you use the phone. I thought I would miss the rapid charging of the 9 but in reality I only have to charge once every 19-26 hours so it's a moot point and I can get 50% in 30 minutes which will get me through whatever I need to do where I won't have access to a charger easily.

EDIT: Actually, from looking up display tests, the Pixel should be much better than the 9 Pro. Without auto brightness the 9 Pro maxed at 500 nits. The Pixel achieves 1000 nits full scene brightness without auto.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
FYI, fully functional GCAM is already there since the phone came out. Check the Gcam from BSG, there is even a "dedicated" group for the Pixel 7 series and Gcam including a few people who made config and lib. Of course, Gcam already performs FAR better than the stock Google camera.

Also, I got the 9 Pro too, and the camera doesn't even come close to Pixel 7 Pro's.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I may have to look into this. It seems like Google made the camera even less functional than it was on the 3 XL from the settings department. I've been happy with the output but sometimes I would like more control.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Samuel Holland:
I have both coming from 9 pro. You can definitely see the pixel 7 pro screen in sunlight. The nine pro also is pretty good. Couple thing to note that stands out to me, the pixel screen feels/appears a little bigger to me, I believe mainly due to screen curve with the 9 pro having much more curve. The one thing that surprised me was the pixel screen being rated #1 Android screen on DXO_Mark, since the screen does look nice, but I think as far as colors, etc, the nine pro has pixel beat with ability to produce, I believe, 1 billion colors, and the pixel like 17 million. I still prefer the pixel though for the record, since the 9 pro and Color Os saga when Android 12 came out. Also the pixel camera obviously is pretty hard to beat for double click power button, point and shoot. The pixel has been pretty nice except for the charging speed.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
The Pixel supports HDR10 which means it supports 1.07 billion colors as well. SDR is limited to 16.7 million but HDR is not.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
To point out the statement regarding "saturation" on OP9 Pro compared to Pixel 7 Pro. Keep in mind that "higher" saturation doesn't equal "better". Pixel 7 Pro is above OP9 Pro in terms of display for various reasons, one of them and one of the most important one is the color accuracy. If you need saturation, you can always use a third-party app to boost it. Same as it was done on OP9 Pro through the "Wide-Gamut" display setting.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Samuel Holland:
Thanks for pointing this out, that makes sense now, and I was wondering about this. Overall I've been pretty happy w/ the pixel and I have increased the saturation.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] schmeggy929:
I would say the Pixel 7 Pro is a far better phone in every way. The only thing I am missing is the silent, vibrate physical button. I get 5G pretty much everywhere. Pixlel 7 Pro gets 5G in places my OnePlus 9 pro couldn't. Im back on Nova Launcher after 3 Oneplus phones I didn't really need. Pixel needs it to remove Google search bar.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] biggiesmalls657:
Easily the Pixel 7 Pro is easier to read
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] joewoo:
I have both and frequently switch between the two.... Gaming is better on the 9pro obviously... The fit in hand is better on the 9pro and this is a big deal to me... I also like the build better as the screen doesn't feel so hollow... Speakers edge out to the 9pro... Standby drain edge out to the 9pro as well... I shoot RAW when I can, so the camera isnt that big of a factor for me but the 7pro is great for dim, quick shots...

There are some differences with smoothness including this website on Firefox... The 9pro is consistently smoother... It gets choppy more often with the 7pro...

The 9pro also stays cooler ... Dunno what this really means though, maybe it's just better at "hiding" the heat whereas the 7pro let's the heat expand out...

These differences are very close... The 9pro just got OS13 and seems much better than 12...

If I were to pick between the 2, I'd stick with my 9pro because of fit in hand AND the super fast charging... Too convenient...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MustangLife03:
I went from OP 8T + and decided against the 10 Pro in favor of the Pixel 7 Pro. It's a great phone designed around real world performance ignoring benchmark performance. It's like the only phone that runs 2 main cores with a 2+2+4 setup when all other phones run 1 big core. Screen is excellent, especially brightness
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Twilightsparklez:
I made the mistake of getting a 10 pro before my 6a. Worst experience ever. I wasexcited to see it finally being sold in the us, but of course the moment it was oneplus murders their os

I've found 8.6V10 Gcam, but havent found any great configs for it. What is the link to the dedicated group?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MustangLife03:
I understand, I've been a OnePlus fan since their creation. The concept behind the company was a true flagship killer concept. Sadly by the time the 9's hit they went down the drain. I'm really happy with my Google Pixel 7 Pro, but the slow charging is a bummer
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] CZ Eddie:
OnePlus software was ahead of its time.

But the hardware was behind the times (IMO) until the 9 Pro.

But that was the same time they went out of date with software.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] weriwd:
I used to have the 9 pro, but I sold it. Its battery was horrifyingly bad (maybe the device was faulty). The vibration was weak and the speakers were OKish (no bass and depth just loudness).

As someone mentioned above, I can confirm that the camera was hit or miss with heavy colour saturation.

Furthermore, I liked more the curved screen of the Oneplus, the front camera placement and the extremely fast battery charging. Also, I was getting better cellular reception on the Oneplus 9 pro, maybe due to its modem and support of 5g in my country.

So far I'm enjoying almost every aspect of the Pixel 7 Pro. For the initial price bundled with the pixel watch, I think it was the best deal currently available for new premium android.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Twilightsparklez:
A 9 might've been a better choice from the start then a 10 since it was before their whole "pay to unbrick" nonsense. But i guess oneplus helped me find a good phone in a way by being the first ever one i returned. I feel a llittle dumb getting something soo expensive when i could get comparible preformance for 300 dollars instead of oneplus's laughable 700 or 800 dollars

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Can you tell me some games that work better on your 9 Pro than the Pixel? Because all I keep seeing on the OnePlus forum is complaints about dropped frames and a steep throttle when the device heats up which causes it to be unable to maintain more than 40-50 FPS on top games. My own personal experience was that the device dropped frames even on simple Unity 2D games and yet my Pixel doesn't suffer from the same problem even if I play for over an hour. In fact I don't like the game Diablo Immortal because it's extremely P2W but I installed it after remembering how poorly it ran on the OnePlus 9 and it's smooth as can be on the Pixel.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] lunacies:
I can't speak for the speakers on the OP9, but I will say I truly despise the speakers in the Pixel 7 Pro, my OnePlus 7Pro speakers were significantly better. The Pixel 7 Pro speakers are so tiny and quiet, it's honestly unreal to me how bad they are in 2022, I don't think I have had a phone with this poor quality speakers since a flip phone.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Sounds like you got a defective one.

"When it comes to loudness, the Pixel 7 Pro earned a 'Very Good' rating in our testing, on par with the iPhone 14 Pro Max and the OnePlus 10 Pro, and a notch above the Galaxy S22 Ultra. The sound quality is really nice, and we're hearing rich vocals and a respectable low-end presence."

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I am surprised to hear of someone who doesn't have complaints about gaming performance on OOS12. Every game I tried performed like crap after C.48. OOS13 is better but it still isn't as good as a custom ROM since that eliminates OnePlus' across the board disabling of the X1 core on the SoC. Unfortunately all the custom ROMs I tried had other issues and it was just too easy to brick the 9 switching between ROMs so when I got the offer to trade my 12 Pro Max in and walk out the door with a Pixel 7 Pro with them paying me $84 after the gift cards, I jumped on it, and I won't go back. Haven't noticed any major issues to speak of and the performance is much smoother and consistent across the board for me and the things I do with my phone.

This article was when it was only applied to certain apps in the OOS11 days. It's now applied across the board since OOS12 C.48 (run Geekbench if you don't believe me, the single core score is around an 865 now)

Examining OnePlus' Performance Behaviour: Optimization or Misrepresentation?

www.anandtech.com
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] CZ Eddie:
I just got the Pixel 7 Pro and am comparing it to my OnePlus 9 Pro.

I bought a LUX meter and opened a 50% white pattern.

Looks like this:

I configured both phones for manual brightness.

I choose "natural" for the color setting since the Pixel didn't have the "vivid" I usually use on the 9 Pro.

The Pixel 7 Pro registered 800 LUX while the 9 Pro absolutely demolished it with 1800 LUX.

There's no comparison. My 9 Pro running an AOSP ROM absolutely destroys the 7 Pro for maximum manual brightness.

I'll test auto-brightness later today.

Edit: See post #44 for updates
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
I assume you got such results on OnePlus 9 Pro due to HBM mode being enabled by default in a few custom ROMs (when you slide the bar to the maximum), which obviously isn't a fair comparison. Disable HBM on OP9 Prom and do the measurements again.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] joewoo:
IMO, it's clearly a rebranded exynos chip... This 64bit only thing is also annoying... There are browsers and apps like discord that run choppy and looks to be worse than 60 fps like they're not optimized....

Sure, I hope fixes come but buying a phone waiting for fixes is not something I support...

The OnePlus 9 pro absolutely is better... But the 7pro is the "hot" item at the moment... Google probably paid a lot for marketing tbh
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] CZ Eddie:
Okay, this will make the 7 Pro fans happier.

I figured the AOSP ROM on the OnePlus 9 Pro might have had some kernel tweaks for the display even though the developer never advertised this as a feature.

So, I restored the 9 Pro back to stock ROM and updated to the latest version of 13.

Then, I re-ran the LUX tests.

The stock 9 Pro "natural" is very flat, not very bright.

So, I changed it to "vivid/default".

Then on the 7 Pro I noticed that the "adaptive" works like the "vivid" on the 9 Pro does.

Basically, I adjusted both phones for the highest-LUX possible color temperatures.

I tested stock 7 PRO "adaptive" vs stock 9 Pro "vivid" using Google Photos as the app on both.

The 7 Pro hit a maximum of 1048 LUX on manual-brightness mode

The 9 Pro hit a maximum of 1139 LUX on manual-brightness mod

This is much more comparable. But the 7 Pro is not brighter than the 9 Pro in standard-brightness mode.

I then moved on to testing auto-brightness modes.

Using the same 50% white picture on both phones and using the same Google Photos app.

The 7 Pro hit a maximum of 2362 LUX on auto-brightness mode

The 9 Pro hit a maximum of 1934 LUX on auto-brightness mode

So, the 7 Pro will have a little more brightness to work with when AOSP or Kernel mods come around.

Bonus info....

The OnePlus 9 Pro has a slider for its "Vivid" color temperature option.

You can adjust from Cool to Default to Warm (and anywhere in between).

I took max manual-brightness measurements of each.

I would have assumed "Cool white" would be the brightest. I was wrong!

Cool = 1056

Default = 1139

Warm = 1069
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] CZ Eddie:
One downside I've noticed is the Pixel 7 Pro is heavy enough that it pulls my gym shorts down a little on the side where it's in my pocket.

My OP 9 Pro is lighter in weight by just enough that it doesn't have that problem.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] CZ Eddie:
Did some more testing.

The Pixel has about a -5dbi WiFi signal difference when I walk next door. It holds onto my WiFi signal a little better than the OnePlus.

Both phones are about the same, just as easy to read under direct sunlight when looking at black text with a white background.

Inside, the OnePlus has easier to read text.

When looking at a black background, both are about the same but the Pixel is easier to read a little more often. Or maybe, a little sooner.

The Pixel has a wider screen, so you get more text information onscreen for each line. But the OnePlus has easier to read text. Might just be a color temp & font tweak that can be adjusted.

The pixel has a better lit display - A little brighter more often than the OnePlus. Good for older eyes needing to read in a less bright environment.

I need to put the OnePlus font and display color temperature on the pixel.

Put both phones to max manual-brightness and set them on top of my trashcan out in the 75 degree F* sun.

After about 30 minutes (?) the Pixel had changed to a dark theme for the map.

And the OnePlus was still very bright but while I was looking at it, it killed the Map and killed the WiFi and gave me a message that it had overheated and would reduce functionality.

The OnePlus recovered quickly and still had a nice bright screen.

The Pixel said "FU" to the manual-brightness and non-dark mode. It decreased the screen brightness and turned on dark mode all by itself. But it kept functioning!

I then changed both to auto-brightness and the Pixel was noticeably brighter than the OnePlus with that configuration. I came back out 10 minutes later and they were both the same brightness.

The OnePlus got 38 satellites compared to just 24 for the Pixel (per GPU Status app):

GPS Status & Toolbox - Apps on Google Play

Get a faster GPS fix! ...and so much more...

play.google.com

At this point I got a message that the OnePlus battery was down to only 16%.

The Pixel is at 68%. Both phones started out at 100%, though the OnePlus did have three major software upgrades it had to perform before I started testing.

Put both phones on the charger.

The OnePlus is already at 100%. The pixel is charging a lot slower.

Cellular strength at my desk inside my house

OnePlus 9 Pro was -108 average

Pixel 7 Pro was -114 average (not as good)

Neither number is good but my desk has always been a cellular black hole.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Honestly I picked up my OnePlus 9 today while my Pixel 7 Pro has been on the charger and it's both running hotter and lagging more in OOS13 than my 7 Pro does doing the same things.

Also what the heck was OnePlus thinking with this new way to dismiss notifications!? You have to swipe twice or swipe and hit the trash can to remove each notification unless you hit the X and clear everything at once. Very poor choice.

Definitely can't go back to this thing.

last year i have tested many flagships from every brand and i can only say, for me is P7P best what is in market right now, but its every subject opinion as mine, comparing to famous S22U or OP10Pro is P7P destroyer. Most wanted for me is battery life(8-9h SOT on P7P) and cameras. and also customization without any complications.
