How does launching the same product with a different name in a different market help with sales? By making it look like a new product?

Just wondering how their internal teams would be communicating. There is so much confusion this will create.
[Off-topic] blackhawk:
Maybe a deliberate attempt to isolate the product to that particular region.
[Off-topic] TheMystic:
What will they gain out of it?

I don't see Apple, Google, Samsung, etc do that.
[Off-topic] blackhawk:
Probably something nefarious.

Intel Inside... Xiaomi, CCP inside🤣
[Off-topic] TheMystic:
Actually even other Chinese brands like iQOO, Vivo, Oppo, etc. do the same, although not on as big a scale as Xioami.

As with doing nefarious activities, do check out the last section (Fun Facts) in this post.

And also this one.
[Off-topic] TheMystic:
Unlike Apple/ Google/ Samsung, the Chinese brands tend to launch many of their devices at different times in different markets (i.e. they are not launched in all markets at the same time).

So to avoid a model from being seen as an old model because it was launched in another market few months back, they launch it with a different name to make it look like new.

Additionally, the software too is different for different regions (both due to regulatory compliance as well as marketing strategies), so that could be another explanation.

Who is using this app in anonymous mode? Any issues with copying back ups to your pc? Any other annoyances? How does it compare to App Manager?

Well I think this pretty much answers the question. It's also a few seconds to try it yourself and find out..

[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajin03:
I had flashed LOS 16 and hade been using it for over a year with the same broken display.

Sometime back the phone would just restart by itself and sometimes wouldn't even boot so i had opened the device and found my power button to be jammed. Which i fixed when i turned the device back on started showing this flickering.

Is this a hardware issue where one of the connectors might be causing it or is It the LCD itself?? Can someone explain.

View attachment 5867849

P.S. I also wonder if its LOS itself cause every time after switching on the device the satus bars and all content on the screen would jump up and down but will revert back to normal after locking and unlocking the device
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajin03:
Update

just keeping the screen onwfor few minutes fas eliminated the weird glitches but there still is a slight flicker to the bottom half with lime in the middle

[Moto G42] gManGabe:
had to root my phone after finding out the new policy on external sdcards: "You don't get to use it"

7k photos lost after moving from internal memory. no recovery app will work, of course, and USB mass storage is no longer available because... because... ya got me, idk why it doesnt work maybe it was just too damn simple efficient and reliable

if anyone knows a way i might recover even some of those files please tell me

if anyone knows an alternative os that lets me use the god damn external card without this permission bull**** please tell me

if anyone knows someone who works at google's android division, please tell me.. where they live

rant over i'm gonna take a nap
[Moto G42] blackhawk:
Welcome to XDA.

Obviously you should have had those images redundantly backup to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC.

If the SD card is encrypted you're fighting a lost cause if the phone can't access them ie lost the encryption key.

Did they transfer? Use the copy/paste option always when transferring critical data. Verify size and for readability before deleting the original. Using cut/paste will get you burned eventually.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Seba66:
Hello everyone,

I replaced the charging connector on my Pocophone F1 2 weeks ago after it stopped charging. This problem is solved and it charges well.

Only after reassembling the phone the external speaker sizzled a little but after 3 days it was gone.

However another problem remained, immediately after reassembling it, it was impossible for me to call via the telephone network (no problem with the data), the telephone remained in "dialing" then cut the call with no tone. I reopened the phone to see if I had reconnected something wrong, in particular the coaxial cable near the charging connector, but it was reconnected correctly.

I receive text messages with no problems.

Surprisingly, the problem has "improved" since, when I make a call, the phone dials and there is the ringtone (I see the network bars alternated between full and empty several times) and I can converse normally for 30 sec- 1 min, after the caller hears me with a jerky, crackling voice.

Do you have an idea of the origin of the problem? I think it has to do with the antenna and not the SIM card but I don't see what else to do. So far I'm getting by calling mostly through third-party apps via data.

Thank you and have good day,

Sebastian

I downloaded gsam battery and gave extra permissions for more stats. After the app doesn't load anymore. It needs to be uninstalled and downloaded again. How to fix this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
Many of us have had the same problem with it. I switched to Battery Guru. Has adb permissions you can give it to get wakelocks and such too. Unlike GSam, which seems to pretty much be discontinued, Battery Guru gets regular updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zoman7663:
Interesting... I have the same issue and finally just gave up. Strange thing is that it works on my Tab S8+ with OneUI 5.1 just fine. When I had my S22 Ultra it was fine until Android 13 (beta at the time) and now of course on the S23 Ultra it works for a day or two and then just starts crashing.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] peterg21:
Version 3.45 was last updated on Nov 27, 2022 and it states:

What's new​

3.45

✔️ Add support for Android 13

✔️ Fix Android 13 Notifications - Enable via Preferences

✔️ Support Samsung devices on Android 13

GSam Battery Monitor - Apps on Google Play

GSam Battery Monitor provides deep insights into what is using your battery.

play.google.com
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ulsa:
GSam works perfectly for me. With wakelocks, apps usage and so on.

Battery Guru is very expensive. Do you get what you pay for?

$1 per week or $16 per year, that is 160$ for 10 years. GSam is about $3 one time payment.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] tripjnj:
I gave up on GSAM after giving it a good chance. It worked sometimes and got flaky other times. After reboot it would just force close for a while then start working, only to randomly start force closing again. I tried Battery Guru for a few days. It is free - the subscription is not required to use all features. It has a nice interface but I found it simply had too much going on and a lot of information I did not need. I gave up on that as well and now am just using the included battery monitor.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
I refuse to pay for it because of the pricing scheme but you don't lose any functionality in the ad supported one so meh.

GSam was working for me and then stopped and started crashing. I have no patience for buggy apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ulsa:
I don't mind ads but being forced to watch 30 s clips is too much.

I have had GSam for about 10 years on 5 different phones without any problems so I guess I've been lucky.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
You only get forced to watch an ad if you pull up the wakelocks or app usage and you can watch one ad to get rid of them for the day as well if they bother you that much. The app works better for me than GSam ever did so I really don't mind it.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] matty100147:
Mine worked for about a week then crashed, once I forced stopped it and left it for a couple of days it just started working again and I've had no problems since
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] chungdae:
I've had GSAM since the S5 and now that it's not working is quite disappointing. S23 ultra here as well. Battery guru seems the next app to use but the ongoing subscription is cancer.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lawtq:
Gsam been updated now. Working much better

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mamamiaze:
Hi team,

I've an issue with my device Samsung N950FD (Galaxy note 8). After inserting a SIM card, i got a message of Network Lock "SIM network PIN blocked. Enter SIM network PUK". The mobile works fine with Swedish and french SIM card but actually i'm in Algeria and it's not working. I've installed the correct Firmware CSC TMC algeria (N950FXXUGDVG5_N950FOXMGDUGA_TMC).

Any help please ?

Lina
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] aiSanaul:
the best way is to contact your carrier operator or customer care.

btw default PUKs are 1234, 0000, 12345, 00000, etc. but it'll only give you 3 chances to unlock (as happened with me) and then lock it completely.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mamamiaze:
It's not a SIM lock or SIM PUK. It'a a Network Lock (SIMLOCKED). Unfortunately, i'm actually in Algeria for work (1 month). also, I cannot contact Swedish operator since im using the phone in france

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Arunraj90:
Hi all,

My OP8T got stuck at fastboot screen ,i tried several ways from msm tool finally found that all fastboot file available in the net was for kebab and mine is kona. So the msm tool returns "param preload" with "device not match image" error.While searching more about the difference found that kebab comes with 855qc and lpdram4 but kona comes with 865qc and lpdram5. Im now stuck n fastboot screen more than a week. Can anyone guide me or point me for this device fasboot rom??? Or else how to recover fom this? Need urgent help.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] MeHigh.G:
Does it connects to a PC?

If it does type fastboot reboot edl
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Arunraj90:
It connects to PC thats why its returning this error na, and in port it shows qualcom 9008. All drivers were installed corretly . If kona oneplus8T fastboot vailable can someone share.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
The OnePlus 8T code name is kebab, but you won't find that name on the phone itself. But it's used in LineageOS and in custom rom/recovery builds.

The SoC of the 8T is called kona and you'll see this on the bootloader screen and in some system properties like ro.product.board.

The 8T has a Snapdragon 865 5G chipset.

Earlier versions of the 8T used DDR4 storage, newer ones use DDR5.

I've found that l often have to reinstall drivers for the 8T on my PC when things go wrong. So if your PC isn't properly recognising your phone, it may be helpful to reinstall the appropriate driver.

And one more point: don't post the same question in multiple places. See rule "5. Create a thread topic or post a message only once" in https://xdaforums.com/t/xda-developers-forum-rules.4200559/
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Arunraj90:

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] 1poweruser1:
just posting here something that happened to my phone's friend. he bought a used OP8 and wanted to factory reset it to stock rom. he tried doing so himself but phone stopped booting so i couldn't see the model from settings > system info

i installed both bootloader and edl drivers with windows update (windows update's additional drivers section)

in fastboot i ran

fastboot getvar product

shows up as kona

OP8 twrp didn't boot (fastboot boot twrp.img) but OP8T twrp boots correctly

from there i could go into edl (twrp's reboot > edl)

the ubrick zip from onepluscommunityserver is the global OP8 one

when the process was done I went into the system system to see the model and it shows up as IN2013
