[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] SMGJohn:
I just bought my second Mate 20 X 4G with 256GB storage, and I started a mass array of tests on it to verify its actually working even though the package was sealed.

I noticed the phone charges EXTREMELY slowly, like 8 hours to charge from 20% to 100% I noticed from 5% to 20% it goes quick, like under 5 minutes, but then, from 20 percent to full charge can take literally almost an entire day.

Using AccuBattery to check battery behaviour, I notice the phone has an average charge speed of 1,2W / 290 mA, it can go as low as 0,8W / 217mA or as high as 1,9W.

To me that sounds like the battery is quite literally shot, dead.

The question remains whether the battery has been changed by the seller beforehand, or this is a normal behaviour for a battery thats been uncharged for 4 years.

This is AL00 phone with L29 firmware upgraded to MIUI 12.

Battery temperature is 26~ degrees steady, I used PCMark Work 3.0 to test longevity and got 15.9 hours with the battery test from 100% down to 20% which is good considering the Mate 20 Pro is suppose to get only 9 hours.

I also noticed the storage is just awfully slow to transfer files to, but thats nothing new to me considering all phones from this era used painfully slow storage.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] zlaer:
Congrats.. youve just bought a refurbed/used phone. Sealed? They can seal a used phone. Options? Return it or keep it and buy a battery. Good luck buying an unused battery though.

Btw who was the buyer on Aliexpress?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] SMGJohn:
Yeah well, it turns out there good news after all, I got a 90% refund from them and get to keep the phone, I ordered the only two genuine Huawei sparepart kits that include the screen, frame and battery that are in stock in my country which I could find anyway.

I managed to source another used genuine L29 Mate 20 X from a guy on used market here, sold it to me for 100 euros because the screen is broken, the screen replacement kits cost 100 euros each, not a big deal.

The place I bought the AL00 phone from is "FUFFI Factory Store" at AliExpress, there are not a lot of options out there, there probably impossible to buy a genuine sealed phone anymore however after a bunch of tests, the motherboard is at least genuine 256GB part, the storage works, and the SoC is performing as it should.

The only sealed one I saw was eBay, cost 1500 euros, I rather buy a foldable for that price.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] zlaer:
You mentioned before about testing the battery that got 16 hours. That doesn't make sense on a weak battery.

Is this test for SOT time?

What are you going to do with the phone? Will you sell it?
[Android Head-Units] Gld18090:

[Google Pixel 7a] EthanG01:
Hi everyone,

To those who own a Pixel 7a or anybody that has seen the specs of this phone and has a good judgement, when in comparison to the regular pixel 7, for those on a super tight budget would you recommend this phone?

Has anybody experienced any heating up issues, as I’ve heard of people mentioning their pixel 7a heating up when on phone calls & not handling daily usage very well.
[Google Pixel 7a] manish.kumar86:
Total money waste,, Google can't solve heating issue since nexus days..
[Google Pixel 7a] Wilbo2016:
No idea what that's about. I've had my 7a for weeks and it's never heated up. Here in the UK the 7a is unrivalled at it's price point. The closest competitor is the Sam A54 which is a decent phone - just not as good as the 7a.
[Google Pixel 7a] manish.kumar86:
It's not meant for hot weather of India then
[Google Pixel 7a] Wilbo2016:
I'll find out next year as we're travelling to south west India for a holiday.:cowboy:
[Google Pixel 7a] ShoaibKhan321:
It's good if you want a clean android phone with updates, a good camera and small form factor there are lots of things missing tho like fast charging, amoled etc, in its Price range you can get other android phones from like of Xioami, Redmi, Oppo etc

Coming to the point yes I'd recommend it but if you need features like fast charging, charger out of box, big battery and amoled screen etc definitely will recommend to have a look into Xiaomi or Redmi as their phones are a full package.

I saw people concerned about heating issues, yes it heats up and inshort is not a hot weather friendly phone also even here in UK (Cold weather) if you are using phone while doing heavy usage tasks like using camera or gaming it does heats up!
[Google Pixel 7a] Wilbo2016:
My last phone was a Xiaomi. Good specs for the money - in theory - but MIUI is cheesey and irritating and there was so much bloatware sucking up many Gbs of storage. Not to mention loads of advertising mostly aimed at teenagers. The case was very flimsy too and allowed the screen to crack after a small drop. The advertising, bloatware and flimsy construction is why they seem such good value.

The 7a may not appeal to the gamers etc, but in use it's powerful, with a clean interface and simply in a different league from the Xiaomi.

The Gcam photo system is way better than any other mid ranger and the editing tools are the best in the business.
[Google Pixel 7a] ixon2001:
I've had the 7a since launch & had no heating issues or any other issues with it for that matter, it's been a great little phone & i use it more than my S23 Ultra.

Also the main camera on the Pixel 7a takes better images than the S23 Ultra default auto mode which look over sharpened & over saturated, you really have to faff with the S23 Ultra to get better images.

One thing i must point out is you have to give the 7a a couple of weeks to settle down, the battery is not so great out of the box & it will get warm at first, but once it done all it's optimisation it runs great.
[Google Pixel 7a] Wilbo2016:
Samsung wants to compete with iPhone so they typically boost the colour intensity. Pixels have a more natural colour balance as standard and leave it to the user to choose if they want greater saturation.
[Google Pixel 7a] ixon2001:
I've got some really good images from the S23 Ultra, but I've basically had to shoot in RAW and edit the dng files myself.

The Pixe 7a on the other hand i can take a quick snapshot of something & 99% of the time it turns out great, it's not bad from a phone that only cost me £360 at the time of buying with discount.
[Google Pixel 7a] Danny 0311:
My 7a has never overheated, or even gotten warm. I live in SW Florida, and it's hot enough without a hot phone. I've had no issues with this phone, and would definitely recommend it. My last Google phone was the Nexus 6, and it never overheated either.
[Google Pixel 7a] pajos.gabros:
Pixel 7a isn´t good phone for gamers, because Tensor G2 isn´t too mutch strong (but for occasional games it will be OK).

But system is very smoothly!

I´ve got latest updates and i didn't notice overheating.

Fingerprint reader works precissly and smoothly (recommend add 3 or more fingers).

But all Pixel´s phones are more power hungry even if you do some battery tweaks.

Overall I would recommend it.
[Google Pixel 7a] srinivasan.chemi:
Go for pixel 7a only if you are ready for the following

Slow charging even with fast charger 20-100% in 2 hours approximately (my previous Mi 11x used to charge in 40 minutes)

Very high battery drain. You may get screen time of around 3 hours. (My previous phone will give easily 6 hours). If you take out mobile from charging point in the morning you need put it in charging at night otherwise next day will be terrible for you.

Battery saver, extra extra battery saver are just gimmick words for pixel 7a. Battery is draining with the same rate.

Otherwise it is good phone
[Google Pixel 7a] godovic:
What about cellular network issues?

[Google Pixel 7a] edufur:
I absolutely would not recommend it if you need a reliable GPS. People who say GPS works fine are not people who use their Google navigation every day. Google has had GPS lock issues ever since the Pixel 6a / 7 / 7a. It will probably continue in the 8.
[Google Pixel 7a] Bertonumber1:
So what's the verdict guys. I'm a bit of a tight wad and looking for a new phone.

I currently use a S10 but have a s9+ and both are rooted etc.

The s9+ is a phablet and I've nearly knocked a few folk out with it while working up ladders so it's time to upgrade i think.

So the pixel 7a then as a camera and daily driver, yay or nay?

Regards
[Google Pixel 7a] BunkerBert:
Yay
[Google Pixel 7a] 306bobby:
If GPS isn't an issue for you and you're used to charging the old phones, get the 7a and custom ROM that shizz. Best phone out there if you get a custom ROM, install some gapps, pass safetynet, and go
[Google Pixel 7a] Boblo:
Hi, I'm coming from a Pixel 5 and, although it's a great compact phone, I would like to replace it with a Pixel 7a because I'm not happy with its screen (with its poor viewing angles with a white background). Some questions before buying:

1) How are the 7a's viewing angles? Please check it with a white background and move your head a bit in order to see the typical OLED bluish tint.

2) According to this review, the 7a's screen flicker (PWM) is high. Has anyone noticed any discomfort from looking at the screen for a long period of time?

3) Is the GPS module really a disaster? According to the mentioned review it's not (although it's not very reliable). I would like to read more thoughts.

4) How is the battery life with Android 14? My guess is that it should be improved with this new version. Can anyone comment on this?

With these concerns, would you recommend it? Keep in mind that cameras are not important to me, but the relatively small form factor (not ideal like Pixel 5's though), Pixel unique features (you know, Call Screen, Live Transcription...), long-term support for updates and the activity of the custom ROM development community are.

Thanks
[Google Pixel 7a] Wilbo2016:
Viewing angles seem fine to me.

To my knowledge this is the only review that mentioned screen flicker. I've never noticed any issues at all with the screen. I don't like the over saturated, in your face screens such as you get with Samsung phones. The 7a isn't great in full sun but to me that's a trivial thing.

The GPS works for me just like my last 3 or 4 phones. I generally use Waze for sat nav with the phone mounted vertically and no problems at all. I haven't used it for hiking or cycling though.

Battery life is definitely better with 14, it doesn't bleed away so much when the phone is idle.

The 7a ticks all the boxes for me. I dislike big phones which rules out almost all the Chinese models and the camera and photo processing is way better than any other mid range phone and better than a good many flagships. It says something that there's a review out already comparing the 7a with the 8 and asking the question is the 8 worth the extra money.

I looked closely at the A54 but I'm so glad I waited a few weeks for the 7a.
[Google Pixel 7a] rgribeiro:
Definitely not! Crappy battery life. I've always been a heavy phone user but this phone delivers the worst battery I've ever seen. It lasts Ok if you leave it in your pocket, but try to stream Bluetooth audio or play some games and the battery drops like 15% per hour.

I have no complaints about screen or GPS though.

Using currently Android 14 (official release).
[Google Pixel 7a] Boblo:
Which is your SoT? And how long does your mobile phone battery last until the next charge?

Thank you for your feedback.
[Google Pixel 7a] rgribeiro:
According to AccuBattery statistics my battery provides about 8h5m of screen time. In my usual day, the battery goes from 100% at 6:20AM to 0% by 8:30PM with an average SoT of 4 hours
[Google Pixel 7a] edufur:
I was having this issue as well. But strangely, I did a full power down and let my phone stay off for about a minute or two. After turning it back on, the battery drain is much slower. More like a normal phone now. Restarts won't cut it. You have to do full power down and leave it off for a minute.

[General Questions and Answers] dckay4:
I just got my HTC Fuze this weekend and love the phone. But, I hate all the AT&T crap on the phone that takes up 48-51% of my phones memory. Which flash is the best for this issue that is stable and also offers a lot of customization?

Also, if I flash my phone would I be able to run the Advanced configuration tool v.3.3 on the phone and would that be necessary to do or would the flash have the same customization options?

Thanks!

This.. isn't so much of a question as something... completely unanswerable.

[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] nebmark:
I bought an unlocked Sony Xperia 5 II directly from Sony about 3 years ago. Great phone! I just changed providers and can't get it to take the new APN. It is still locked on my old provider's APN. I finally did a hard factory reset, and it is STILL locked on the old APN! Does anyone know how I can get this fixed?

I'm 82 and no geek but I found this. It's an article about how to change your APN and one reason you might want to, according to the article, is you have a new provider.

You may be able to change APN settings on your mobile device if your carrier lets you view them, but consider the possible effects before making changes.

[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] Guarolo:
Hi,

Today was the last day to update Whatsapp on my Mi 10 Ultra. However my device didn't update the app, when I try to download it says: This app isn't available in GetApps.

I think that GetApps is the chinese version of Google play, but whatsapp is not in there. I have never downloaded anything from GetApps, I used Google play all the time.

I have a similar problem with Google play itself, it just disappeared from my screen and I can't install it again. Basically I can't reinstall any app that I delete now.

It's worth mentioning that all these problems I believe started after my phone updated MIUI to the 14.0.2 version, it was working fine with the older versions.

Can someone please help on how to fix this? Many thanks

@afgzee how do you like it so far? Anything worth mentioning?
[Honor Magic4 Pro] afgzee:
its very stable. But a lot of the features come from Huawei's harmony OS.

The clock and weather looks more polished, you can also drag and drop stuff to share on facebok, youtube etc... to share immediately . There is a small search button on the home screen where you can search for your apps, Larger folders. Pretty much like what you see in harmony OS. There is ultra power saving mode in settings which was on huawei devices long ago, Also when you dont unlock your screen notifications are at the buttom not the top, otherwise nothing different.

[Amazfit] mattitech07:
I have a gts 2 mini and Alexa is set up on the zepp app (Android) correctly. But it has stopped working for a month. The app says Alexa is setup. But if I call it on the watch it connects normally and then it says "listening" But when I speak it says "busy network, try later". What is causing this? Is this an hardware or software problem. I sometimes swim at the sea with this watch, so I'm afraid the mic is damaged but I doubt it because the rest of the watch works fine.

I have already tried all sorts of things to fix it, rebooting, reinstalling the app even on different devices and hard reset the watch, but nothing worked.

Is there a way to tell if it is the microphone or some sort of software error?
