[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Arxade:
I have an S9 SM-G960U and I have been wanting to unlock its bootloader for years but it has been impossible since there is no information about it or they say it is impossible. They recently told me that there is a way in which there is the possibility of making the phone look like a nice paperweight. What am I getting at with this? Simple, practically all the answers are from 2020 and later years, I don't know if there is currently a way, I'm not looking for the safest one, I want to unlock this bootloader regardless of if it dies in the process.

I would greatly appreciate the help in this case, I still have the hope of unlocking this great device since it has been 5 years since its release so I think someone was already able to find a solution to these problems of the SM-960U1 and SM-960U versions.

I clarify this again, I am willing to put my device at risk since I don't use it much.

Pd:I already know about paid unlocking, but at the moment I can't pay for it.

Hello, How do I get my Oppo Find x2 Lite to mirror via HDMI cable on a TV screen or monitor?

I am Using a HDMI Female Adapter Cable Converter 4K Ultra HD with Audio Output, and have tried multiple HDMI cables, on both a TV and a computer monitor.

Is there a setting I need to turn on or off? I have been tinkering for quite some time now with no luck at all, Does this function even still work? Do I need software/Firmware?

Does not seem to be much of a conversation on this issue I have, seems to just always work for everyone else.

[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] willBaaaka:
I'd like to use a loadable kernel module on my Google Pixel 4a (5G) for Android 13, unlocked and rooted therefore I need to re-compile the Kernel. So I followed the official documentation to download kernel sources and build them with scripts build_redbull.sh and build_redbull-gki.sh. For the moment I'm just trying to build the Kernel and flash it using fastboot.

Once build is done I have the following image files available in out/android-msm-pixel-4.19/dist:

$ ls -lha *.img
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 96M oct. 15 18:05 boot.img
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 394K oct. 15 18:04 dtb.img
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 5,3M oct. 15 16:45 dtbo_barbet.img
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 6,5M oct. 15 18:00 dtbo_bramble.img
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 15M oct. 15 18:00 dtbo.img
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 2,7M oct. 15 18:00 dtbo_redfin.img
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 18M oct. 15 18:04 initramfs.img
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu 37M oct. 15 18:05 vendor_boot.img

Then I flash boot.img, vendor_boot.img, dtbo.img with fastboot.

But this always ends in bootloop. I also tried with version 12 of Android but I could not get it working either.

Does anyone knows what I'm doing wrong ?

Note that there is something strange about image sizes which does not fit the size of firmware images (vendor_boot and dtbo especially).

[Google Pixel 8] eugenesan:
I don't know if content creators just never leave their comfy Urban lofts and Starbucks (air conditioned with great reception) or just lie when doing reviews.

Please ignore this thread if your phone spends most of it's life on a table with air conditioner and great reception. Any phone will perform adequately in those conditions.

I am interested in reports of people who "touch grass".

I'd like to hear what real life users have to say about Pixel 8 modem/thermal/battery performance.

In the past I tried Pixel 6a, 7 and 7a and they were unusable outside of Air Conditioner with Great Coverage.

I had the phones getting uncomfortably warm when:

1. 15min outside during warm weather while listening to streaming audio or even idle.

2. 15min inside a warehouse style store (not great reception) while idle.

3. Driving/Hiking in rural areas (bad reception).

4. 30min of Hotspot enabled

Thanks.
[Google Pixel 8] vandyman:
Signal strength is a little better than my Pixel 6.

I live in a dead zone . Verizon is useless.tmobile is slightly better .

Heat, no issues yet. Got warm on initial setup

Battery ,only had it a few days ,so I can not give any info until the battery optimized.
[Google Pixel 8] Gravol:
Had mine since Friday afternoon, it was incredibly hot during the first few hours but after getting to the cabin (picked it up on our way out) it was cool. During charging and use it's no warmer than any phone and possibly cooler than my 12 mini I came from.

Reception is identical to my iPhone where I am here, not sure yet about home but I would assume the same. Battery life seems about 6ish hours screen on or 7 yesterday
[Google Pixel 8] Vio281:
while I dont hike alot, I do take long walks, and stream youtube in background. it never gotten warm to me, but then again my Pixel 7 works great too, not sure what people were talking about it heating up. I dont play games just stream music and youtube.
[Google Pixel 8] Alistair1231:
I don't really game on mine, but it does get hotter than my old Phone (Poco F2 Pro). However, it seems like it mainly uses the aluminum frame for heat dissipation, and thus it just might feel warmer. Overall it isn't to a worrying degree in my opinion, and I am satisfied with the battery life so far. According to AccuBattery, I have full battery time estimates of:

9h58m screen on

47h22m screen off

30h4m combined use

with an average usage of:

3.3%/h combined use

10%/h screen on

2.1%/h screen off

Regarding outside use, I do go on walks and ride my bike, without any perceived difference in battery use or heat.
[Google Pixel 8] Veiranx:
That screen off rate seems a bit higher than it should be. I've got a Xiaomi 13 with Lineage OS going at ~0.5-0.8% per hour screen off rate. I also have 5G turned off; that may affect things.
[Google Pixel 8] Alistair1231:
Interesting. I do see in the Android Battery overview that Revanced, Revanced Music and Audiobookshelf have a lot of Background Time. More than I actively use them.

So potential drain from background activity, as well as simple usage with a turned-off screen might have skewed that number a bit.

Because of how I use my phone, the "screen off %" might not be representative of actual sleep. I'm not sure, however, as I do not see a "% of deep sleep" percentage average, only a number since last charge in AccuBattery.
[Google Pixel 8] Veiranx:
It could be background activity from those apps, though I have a hard time believing they would be preventing the OS from going into deep sleep.

I tried a different ROM once (Paranoid Android Topaz Alpha) that had similar screen off rate to what you're experiencing now. I saw in Battery activity that Outlook was consuming a lot of %. It didn't get any better when I uninstalled it and I never specifically figured out what was doing it. Maybe it was a bug in the system/OS?
[Google Pixel 8] Lughnasadh:
Overnight idle drain=.55%/hr (on WiFi) (2 nights in a row with the same idle drain reading) (getting between 93-95% deep sleep)

Roughly 7-8%/hr active drain (no heavy use, e.g. games)

Pretty much the same as my Pixel 7 Pro with the exact same setup.

(Using the Magisk mod versions of YouTube Revanced & Music Revanced and they don't cause any extra drain in the background)

No heat issue so far.
[Google Pixel 8] Alistair1231:
Mrwhosetheboss's review seems to complain about heat and the modem, so that might be worth a watch @eugenesan . Like most reviews they don't clearly distinguish between the 8 and 8 pro however.

The thermals part is around 18:15
[Google Pixel 8] bobby janow:
0.55 damn that's really good. I did get 0.7 last night and usually it's around 0.9 depending on my Galaxy watch sleep tracking, which btw is ridiculous. However, if I charge to 100% before sleep I have seen 0.4 - 0.5 / hour at times. I do believe it's that the battery doesn't actually show drain when fully charged until it hits some kind of threshold of sorts. I'd love to try another kernel, which I had great success with when I was rooted, but now I'm not so I have to live with what we have. Unless they can figure out a way to change the kernel without bl unlock or root. I did like the Despair kernel way back.

And btw, as an aside, you have been so great on these forums helping everyone in sight. Time to add a "recognized contributor" to your account? Not looking for up votes here just calling 'em as I see 'em.
[Google Pixel 8] Lughnasadh:
Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm pretty much set with just plain, ole Lughnasadh 🙃
[Google Pixel 8] eugenesan:
OP here.

I've got my Pixel8 a few days ago and so far it's ok.

Considering current market state, I find Pixel 8 to be the best replacement of all previous Pixels.

Modem:

1. It seems to be working comparable to Snapdragons in older pixels.

2. No sudden drops though it did struggle with maintaining VoIP calls in a big steel warehouse store with slow WiFi and weak LTE. Seems like switching between WiFi and Cellular could use some improvement.

3. Outdoors in rural areas it connects to the same towers and at the same signal levels as Pixel4a.

4. 5G is good in urban areas but it did prefer LTE when driving on highways. This is anecdotal but I think Tensor1 and Tensor2 did prefer 5G in the same areas.

Thermals:

1. Overall I think Tensor3 is an improvement over previous generations of Tensors and is ~90% as good as Qualcoms in older Pixels.

2. It didn't overheat while operating in a Hotspot mode for hours in 86F temperature. It got warm (~39C) but all previous Pixels behaved similarly.

3. It didn't overheat while in a pocket when driving around in rural areas with weak reception.

4. It doesn't overheat while charging.

Battery:

1. I've used it on battery only for short periods of time (my phones spend 90% of the time on charger) but so far it looks promising.

2. I was able to easily configure ACC to maintain the battery in IDLE mode at an optimal state of charge (to extend battery lifespan). It seems like Andoird 14 has the capability to do something similar using built-in "

Charging Optimizer". Unfortunately my use pattern is very unpredictable (hence the ACC) but most users will be able to "train" phone's AI to optimize battery lifespan.
[Google Pixel 8] kodo12:
Anyone capable of testing the phone in this scenario:

- Driving in a car with wireless android auto connected running google maps + spotify while wireless charging the device?

I have OnePlus 10 Pro and it overheats in 20 minutes doing that. Can't really afford changing phone to experience the same issue.
[Google Pixel 8] Finrodize:
My first experience with the phone is a bit of a mixed bag.

Software wise i find it a terriffic experience. The display is great, haptics are ok, and the in hand feel i absolutely love. Point and shoot with the camera is also much better than with my previous phone.

Now to the not so great parts. The phone regularly geats warm (not toasty) for example when charging (warmer than my previous phone) and while using it when beeing on cellular rather than wifi.

The worst part however is the mixed feelings that i get from the battery. During my first days of use i was pretty satisfied, with SOT of more than 5-6 hours easily reachable with some 20% left in the tank.

Then however i let it sit idle overnight once, while wifi was of and i realized it drained about 16-18% during about 8hours sleep. Which shocked me, as in the same time while having wifi on sitting idle it drained only 4-5%.

So i repeated the test for another night and got the same result.

It seems on Cellular (5g) the drain is about 2% while on wifi only 0.5%.

During my first days of use i was mostly at home with wifi on and therefore had a great battery experience.

Yesterday i was mostly on cellular and in the evening i got like 30% left with just about 1.5h SOT.

The phone was basically sitting idle most of the time (no background apps..).

The reception was always good, so that can not be a factor.

Other phones i think to remember would consume about 1% in the same conditions.

More than 2% an hour seems to be quite high?

What are your experiences in this regard and with other phones?
[Google Pixel 8] NeonLightsMeUp:
I had the same type of issue with my Pixel 7A, never have used 5G other then small amounts on my 8, What I did to fix it was turn off 5G and use 4G, Settings, Network and Internet, Internet, Top option of your carrier gear to the right icon, preferred network type, choose 4g and then see how your battery does then. Let us know!

I know everyone loves the 5G but for me i rarely need the speed and sometimes I have done speed tests from 5g and 4g were the 4g was faster.
[Google Pixel 8] Finrodize:
Thanks for the input. I switched today and will see how it behaves. From using the phone i did not experience much of a speed drop. Also it seems to get less warm. Will see how battery performs for the next day.
[Google Pixel 8] FunktasticLucky:
Well yesterday I got about 8.5 hours screen on time and still had 20 percent left. I was on WiFi for probably 90 percent of the day and screen brightness probably around 40-50 percent except the 10 percent I was out shopping. All in all I am loving this phone. Seems to be slightly better signal as well. Glad I switched.
[Google Pixel 8] Finrodize:
After switching to 4G last night, it dropped about 12% in 8 hours.

So that leaves me at the following numbers for 8 hours standby:

- 16-18% on 5G

- 12% on 4G

- 4-5% on wifi

On 4G it also gets much less warm. Guess I will stay on 4G for the moment an see how it develops over time.
