[Red Magic 8 pro] darbylonia:
Hi all!

I got my RM8P yesterday. I really like the device, but definitely see the software lackings that everyone has mentioned.

My current bugs:

1. I copied my data from my Pixel 6 Pro to the RMP8. It also copied the lock screen text I had "My Google Pixel 6 Pro, *****es". So when I go into personalized setting to try to change this text, it won't let me. When I click the option, it just goes back to the Settings menu.

2. More importantly, my voice dictation/voice to text functionality is now broken. It was fine until this afternoon when I updated a bunch of apps in Play Store. Now, no voice dictation is working for any app. I've tried every possible app and rebooting. The OK Google still works so it's "hearing" my voice in general.

Any feedback?

Thanks!

EDIT: I figured out that enabling Google Assistant (Hey Google) broke the voice dictation. Strange that it breaks it.
[Red Magic 8 pro] Alextakatu:
I was about to tell you that disabling hey google fixed the dictation thing. The first os layer is funny af, it does that and doesn't carry the swipe between apps gesture. And a bunch of things, I worked the hey google with the swipe from a corner gesture tbh I don't use Google assistant that much but still it was a thing
[Red Magic 8 pro] darbylonia:
I don't use hey Google assistant too often, but I do use it occasionally. It's just strange that I have to choose between enabling that functionality and enabling voice dictation. I guess I'll choose the voice dictation and give up Google assistant or enable it when I feel I need to use it at times. I'm not sure it's a Red Magic thing as it may be a broader Android thing.
[Red Magic 8 pro] kylegp:
Pretty sure it's only a redmagic thing. Their support has been largely useless when I attempted to alert them to this issue.
[Red Magic 8 pro] josemanuelrm26:
Hello, I have Alexa installed as the main assistant, if you select it as the default transcription program, it already works for you to transcribe messages. The failure after several tests I have realized that when you select Google as an assistant it stops working, the mobile does not listen to you. I have already opened several incidents on the Magic network page but they only tell me that I formatted the mobile.

[LG G8 Questions & Answers] ArmagedFoxer:
I am going to buy LG G820TM. I have a couple of questions about this.

I plan to use the phone in Ukraine. What may not work, what works in the US?

How to know if it is unlocked?

Is it difficult to unlock it?

What are the disadvantages if it is not unlocked, does it fully work not in the USA?

Is it T-Mobile?

How much worse is the fps and slows down the phone from android 12? Which is better for Android 11 or 12 performance?

should I buy it?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
To know if it is unlocked is simple; put in a sim card from any carrier but t-mobile, if it connects, it's unlocked, if it doesn't, it's locked.

To unlock it you would have to use a remote service and pay $. Oddly, the one I used is in the country you plan to use it.

The G8 is capable of doing VoLTE and VoWifi, but your carrier has to support them also, and the rom will have to have the needed configuration for that carrier.

Sorry don't know anything about the fps re 12 vs 11.

Should you buy it? I'd suggest no. I think you'd be better off with a phone like a Sammy, which will definitely have a rom specific for that area, which means it would have all the specific requirements for the local carriers. Additionally, it would be pretty easy to get a rom on a Sammy (patched Odin) if the phone you buy isn't for your area. Getting a rom on a G8 isn't anywhere near as easy.

Good luck with it, and all the best to the people of Ukraine! Cheers
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] ArmagedFoxer:
Thanks a lot! You helped me a lot. But my budget allows me to buy only these phones, which are quite powerful.

I have already noticed to buy LG G8 G820TM but suddenly I noticed one detail...

I read that there is a temporary unlock on t-mobile, which can end 30 days after purchase (some people write that even after half a year)

Will there be such problems with the phone on Verizon?

There are no temporary unlocks like this on Verizon?

Which is better then to take, Verizon or T-Mobile?

(there are no other options in my market)

I really need your help in this matter..
[P3600 ROM Development] nestleomega:
after upgrading to Elegance rom from official rom, the transcriber input is missing, i checkd on microsoft's website and downloaded n installed transcriber 1.51 but it doest work on my device-reinstall but still the same, maybe because transcriber 1.51 is not suitable for WM6.1....

Where can i get a working transcriber?
[P3600 ROM Development] Carlo626:
try this

http://www.mediafire.com/?lvmc2mm0xl9

works fine for me - using - Team CV93+Oggi (CE OS 5.2.20931-Build 20931.1.5.0) Manila2D ROM

remember that ANY transcriber will not work right with touchflow enabled

bye
[P3600 ROM Development] nestleomega:
oh yaa, touchflo...no wonder..disable it and now transcriber is working perfectly on my trinity..

thanks Carlo626 for your advice!:)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mrsmithb:
I just received my S23 Ultra today and I'm absolutely loving it. BUT, I'm having one very annoying problem. I've been using YouTube Vanced without problem for many years. So one of the first things I did on my new phone is install Vanced, disable the official YouTube app, and turn on all the "open supported link" options for Vanced. BUT despite this, all youtube links I click on my web browser (I use Samsung Internet) open in the web browser and not in Vanced. I've searched around Reddit and XDA but not found a viable resolution. PLEASE HELP!

UPDATE: revanced exhibits the exact same behavior, still not sure what to try next...

UPDATE 2: Figured out that everything opens correctly, in Vanced or REVANCED, as long as I use CHROME and not SAMSUNG INTERNET. So does anyone know what to do to fix Samsung Internet in particular? Or should I just switch to using chrome as my default browser?

Last Update: @TheMystic correctly diagnosed that a toggle buried in Samsung Internet's settings menu is the missing link needed to make links work with Vanced. See post below for details.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
I can't get YouTube vanced to work on s23 Ultra either. It dod for a bit but now it doesn't get a network connection. Have deleted and reinstalled but it doesn't matter.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheNewHEROBRINE:
Check if you see an "Add link" button in the page where there is the open supported links switch.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] shadow_97:
its not only you, i have A52s but it opens links in browser, copy the link and go to youtube vanced and paste the link on the search bar and the first video is the link.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] waldoud:
hello, youtube vanced was slowly dying since support ended, try revanced or newpipe
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mrsmithb:
There is no add links button, only the four default YouTube links types, all of which are enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheNewHEROBRINE:
Ah then I don't know, I suggest using Revanced too.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mrsmithb:
I can make it open in Vanced, but what I really want is for it to open there by default.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] shadow_97:
try Youtube Revanced latest version
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MartinMKR:
Just pay 5 euros per month man or atleast use your 4 months free trial as a Samsung user. Youtube is the greatest media/music platform in our age, they deserve the money.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mrsmithb:
Installed REVANCED, EXACT SAME THING 🤣😭
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheNewHEROBRINE:
I installed it with root over original YouTube so I don't have this problem (I don't have an S23).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] shadow_97:
if i root my phone, what bad thing will happen to my phone. does rooting worth it?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheNewHEROBRINE:
On Samsung phones rooting will void warranty and some features will stop working (although you can probably restore them using some Magisk modules).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mrsmithb:
I used to love rooting my phones. But years ago alot of the things I used root for either got non-root options or were just no longer needed. Samsung started locking everything down around the same time and I don't think root is even achievable anymore for US variants?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mrsmithb:
C'mon man if this was like for an indie developer, hell yeah I'd pay. But this is GOOGLE. I'm pretty sure they don't need my $$$ 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheNewHEROBRINE:
As far as I know, you can't unlock the bootloader on US variants so you can't do root.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mrsmithb:
Yeah I knew that was the case a few years ago so I figured nothing's changed.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mrsmithb:
OK guys, I think I've decided it's time to move on from Samsung Internet AND Chrome. Just discovered Vivaldi, Vanced Links work and I'm digging it so far. Any other browser recommendations?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hand-filer:
Brave browser.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TheMystic:
Have you enabled this setting under Settings/ Useful Features:

I'm using Samsung Internet Browser v20.0.1.2.

I have both Vanced YouTube v17.03.38 and official YouTube app v18.07.34 installed and enabled

I have disabled link opening in the official app and enabled link opening in the Vanced app.

Links open in Vanced as configured. I'm on OneUI 5.1 on my S22 Ultra.

There is no need to root. Rooting in 2023 isn't worth it in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mrsmithb:
You sir, have solved the great mystery. Good job! I wanted to confirm this worked, even though this whole ordeal has already led me to switch browsers now. There may be no turning back! But for future reference, turning on this setting fixed Samsung Internet / Vanced links.

And I agree, rooting no longer necessary. I don't miss it, it's just one PITA I no longer have to worry about. 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mrsmithb:
I may give Brave a try. I've seen a lot of recommendations for it, and I haven't used it since the very early days when it was originally released.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] otonieru:
Am a bit on the extreme side, since i disabled samsung internet from day one. Always use Brave. But this issue is due to Open Link setting indeed. Happened on other non samsung phone as well if configuration is amiss
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] chandan shah:
I had soft bricked redmi 4 mobile with locked boot loader, I could go to mi recovery 3.0 and fastboot etc. I tried to flash santoni 10.3 rom via fastboot mode but couldn't flash it with "critical partition error" due to locked bootloader. Then I entered edl mode by shorting test points, then successfully flashed rom with clean all option via miflash tool 'santoni_10.3 global', mobile started well and i used it 2 days. It shows ota updates available of 11.0.2nammixm in setting's updater. I downloaded it and after rebooting it left me mi recovery 3.0 and then I choosen reboot to system and got suck on mi logo again. It means i softbricked device again with locked bootloader. This time i again tried edl mode with miflash tool but it gives error "object reference not set as an object ". Don't know hot fix it. I tried 2 different miflash tool versions, both the fastboot roms "santoni 10.3 global" and "santoni 11.0.2 global" to flash, but getting that error again and again.

Sorry for my bad english.

Please help me, I can go into fastboot mode and edl with port 'qhsusb 9008 com10'

Crying...
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] chandan shah:
Problem resolved,

I got revived again my redmi 4 mobile.

Solution is to try any older rom and older version of mi flash tool.

Suggestions-

Use santoni_global_images_V8.2.12.0.MAMMIEA_20170629.0000.00_6.0_global_751410291c.tgz

And miflash-20220218 or miflash-20170425

Use Edl mode if you have locked bootloader,

Fastboot mode if having unlocked bootloader.

I will update my successes report if get managed to switch on miui 11 (currently having miui 8).

Installing GSIs

1. Flash patched recovery from odin

2. Reboot to recovery and enter fastboot.

3. Connect phone to pc (make sure you have installed ADB and fastboot tools on pc)

4. To make sure you have a connection type:

fastboot devices

5. To root type:

fastboot flash boot [boot.img address]

6. To install GSI type:

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase system

fastboot flash system [GSI system.img address]

7. To reboot:

fastboot -w

fastboot reboot

If it gets stuck

1. Restart your phone to recovery

2. Factory data reset

3. Wipe cache

4. Reboot

To install large GSIs use this

Resize /data on stock recovery

I'm on the BL6000Pro (with Magisk) which has no custom recovery (like TWRP) that I know of. I run CAOS11 on it but the /system partition is already full while the /data partition is huge and empty....
