While it's technically possible to set up dual booting on some tablets, it's not the simplest or most recommended solution. If you prioritize ease of use and reliable performance with dual booting, a traditional laptop might be a better choice.

Important things to consider before attempting to dual boot on a tablet:

1. Driver Availability:

There might not be proper drivers available for all the tablet's hardware components for both Windows and Ubuntu, which could lead to functionality issues like touchscreen or Wi-Fi not working correctly.

2. Storage Space:

Tablets typically have less storage space compared to laptops. Splitting the space between two operating systems might limit how much storage you have available for each.

However, these are tablet options you can consider:

Microsoft Surface Go:

While not officially supported for dual booting, it is possible to install Ubuntu alongside default Windows 11 Pro.

Preparation:

Disk Management: In Windows, you'll need to shrink the existing storage partition to create free space for the Linux installation. Use the built-in Disk Management tool for this.

Bootloader Selection: Surface Go uses UEFI firmware, so you'll need to ensure your Linux installer supports UEFI boot mode.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8:

While this tablet by default runs on Android 12, it is possible to root it and then install either Ubuntu or Windows - or both - on it. Yes, Windows 11 for ARM64 exists, also Ubuntu for ARM64 exists!
[General Questions and Answers] HectorVigar:
Hi!!

Thank you for your fast answer. It helped and also raised an important aspect which I did not consider as driver incompatibility.

I wonder if you could answer another thing. As I previously mentioned, I intend to use an external hard drive with the two OS installed on it, as it would help me to work on different computers/laptops when I move around. Would be feasible to run either of the OS also from a Tablet? I would not mind using an additional app that can solve some incompatibilities. From my perspective, this set up would be confortable and easy to move around (in addition to solve the issue with the storage on the tablet). If an android tablet that can run windows from the external hard drive could work, I would not mind either to "sacrifice" the use of Ubuntu.

Thanks again!!

Best,

Héctor

Yes, it is definitely possible to run a bootloader on a device that loads the OSs from an external disk.

Ofcourse there are some things to consider for this setup with regards to mentioned Microsoft Surface Go tablet:

Bootloader compatibility:

The device's firmware (BIOS/UEFI) needs to be able to boot from external devices.

Bootloader installation:

The bootloader typically needs to be installed on the internal drive that the device boots from first. This allows the bootloader to find and load the OS on the external drive.
[General Questions and Answers] HectorVigar:
OK I think I get it more clear now. Thank you very much for your help!! Now I have been looking on stuff related to Microsoft Surface Go and there seem to be a lot of info around.

Do you by chance have any further information on the Microsoft Surface Go Tablet model differences? Is there any high impact between models on how well they would perform when booting the OS from the hard drive? Any recommendations?

Many thanks again!!

Best,

Héctor
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
AFAIK all Surface Go models are capable of booting from an external SSD as long as the SSD meets these requirements:

USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt 3 connection: Ensures sufficient bandwidth for booting.

Windows To Go certified: Not all SSDs are created equal. Look for specifically certified drives for guaranteed functionality.

There are currently four generations of Surface Go (Go 1, 2, 3, and the new Go 4), the major performance differences are between Go 1/2 and Go 3/4. Here's a quick breakdown:

1. Processor:

Go 1 and 2 use Pentium Gold processors, while Go 3 and 4 have Intel Core i3 processors. Core i3 offers better performance for demanding tasks.

2. Storage:

Go 1 and 2 came with eMMC storage, which is slower than the SSDs used in Go 3 and 4. SSDs will result in faster boot times in general.

3. Ports:

All models have a single USB-C port, but Go 3 and 4 support USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 for faster data transfer speeds when using external drives.

While the processor and storage differences between the models can affect the overall performance of your Surface Go, their impact on booting from an external SSD is minimal. The boot speed will primarily depend on the speed of the external SSD itself.

Booting from a fast external SSD will be noticeably quicker than the internal eMMC storage on any Surface Go model. Opting for a Surface Go 3/4 with an internal SSD can further improve overall responsiveness.

Hello everyone,

I have a OnePlus 9 L2110 and I've noticed that its battery doesn't last as long as before. So, I'm looking for a new battery. I've heard that batteries differ depending on the OnePlus 9 model. Could you advise me? I'm also open to links on AliExpress.

Thank you!
[OnePlus 9] shadabkiani:
They might differ for regular or pro model, but they don't differ depending on a model's variant.

Hello,

Thank you for your response. However, I have read that according to the global English-Chinese version, the battery is different.

Best regards,
[OnePlus 9] shadabkiani:
I don't know about that. The battery capacities are the same. Search on AliExpress and see if there are separate batteries sold for separate variants.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ganghouwer01:
Hello,

I hope someone can help. I got a Ulefone Armorpad which i use for motorcycle navigation. I developed a bluetooth handelbarcontroller which works with my Navigation program true BLEKEYBOARD. The handelbarcontroller is programmed as the developer suggested, and is sending the following signals:

Key codes:

KEYCODE_ENTER

KEYCODE_DPAD_LEFT

KEYCODE_DPAD_RIGHT

KEYCODE_DPAD_UP

KEYCODE_DPAD_DOWN

KEYCODE_F5 - (198)

KEYCODE_F6

KEYCODE_F7

I tested it on multiple devices and it works great, except on my Ulefone armorpad. When i push de Keycode F5 (decimal 198) button it opens the settings SOS menu. I disabled all setting related to the SOS function in the setting menu, and deleted all SOS stuff true ADB, but it still opens the menu. I also checked the keylayout setting is system but cannot find anything related. Does anyone have a solution to prevent this from happening? It looks part of the setting menu.

Thanks in advance

I know the probable answer, i'm only asking this out of pure curiosity.

Is it possible to make an android AVD display output show on a physical android device in it's native resolution?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Directly displaying an AVD output on a physical Android device in its native resolution basically isn't possible: AVDs are emulated environments designed to run within the Android Studio development environment, not to project onto another device. Even scrncpy won't work for directly displaying your AVD on a physical Android device because it is built to handle the communication protocol between a computer and a physical Android device.
[General Questions and Answers] Joe Baliu:
Hi,

I have found out that there are at least 2 versions of Motorola Moto G84:

* XT2347-1 - potentially US version - it supports esim

* XT2347-2 - potentially EU versions - no esim support.

In Reddit thread

MotoAgents user (looks to be official Lenovo profile) states that Moto G84 does not support esim and adds:

"We cannot guarantee that eSim support will be added in a future update".

This raises a question: if a specific version of this phone does not support esim - can the support of esim be added by software update? In my understanding esim support is added by a hardware chip: "eSIM consists of software installed onto an eUICC chip permanently attached to a device." (Wikipedia)

Alternatively could this mean that Moto G84 without esim support could have a disabled hardware esim support?

Could it be enabled by flashing a ROM from model with esim enabled?

P.S. I got Moto G84 (XT2347-2) expecting to have esim support and got disappointed after I unpacked it found out that it does not have it (maybe I was naive a little by not checking exactly which specific models of this phone has it)

P.P.S. According to phonemore.com the only difference between them is esim support.
[General Questions and Answers] FabCravateNoire:
Below are the screenshots while Searching for eSIM.

It shows two option. Selecting first goes the page for sim (2 uploaded)

Second goes to About phone.But neither could be ACTUALLY found in them.

its like its disabled.

Hoping to enable it somehow so that i dont have to buy anouther phone just for eSIM

Hope it helps

[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] FaireSkD:
So, one day my Redmi 9 Lancelot started to bootloop from nowhere, I couldn't get to recovery and the bootloader was locked

I managed to unlock the bootloader and bypass the protection and stuff with the mtkgui and bypass, I then used MiFlash and SP Flash tool to flash a stock rom

I Tried the earliest rom version, MIUI 12.5, 13 and 11

none of those solved it and it's still on a bootloop and I can't flash recovery so no TWRP or OrangeFox

I ran out of options and would like to know what to do now

Can you go into fastboot mode (vol down and power button)?

If you can try to flash firmware directly from fastboot. Here's link, download TGZ file, it's 4.3 Gb. After entering fastboot just flash BAT file you wish, they're pretty explanatory.

It did job for me (flashing classic ROM didn').

Hello everyone, I have searched various websites and forums to understand if it was possible to relock the bootloader of the Nothing Phone 2. I found a guide for the Nothing Phone 1 but nothing for the two. I am asking if anyone has any information about it? Thanks in advance.

Hi @rabmax and welcome to XDA!

Have you tried to read the thread below?

So, I Wanted To RMA My Phone And Wanted To Factory Reset It To STOCK State For Them To Pick It Up. (They Sant Me The Wrong Variant But I Had Not Checked Before I Unlocked It) As I Didn't Find A Comprehensive Guide Here On The Method To Do That...

xdaforums.com
[Nothing Phone 2] rabmax:
Hi, thanks for your reply. After hours of research, I definitely had my eyes open but not seeing. How did I not find it???? Thanks again.
[Nothing Phone 2] khusika:
I found it in the How To Guide section and maybe you missed it.
[Nothing Phone 2] rabmax:
Perfect, now you have confirmed that I need to stop for tonight. In the next few days I will try if I can re-lock the bootloader following the guide. I will let you know.
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Tbh he missed it because the new layout on xda is awful, have already advised In the suggestions thread but it fell on deaf ears.. 🫤

@rabmax in short you need to return to stock.

So prior to 2.5.3 you could just use the nothing flash tool then enter fastboot mode and run:

fastboot flashing lock

If you are indeed on 2.5.3 then you're best running through a fastboot stock rom installation, do not use the nothing flash tool on 2.5.3 as it will brick your device.

Grab a fastboot ROM and flash it to both slots.

So flash it, then flash it again.

Then lock it.
[Nothing Phone 2] rabmax:
Hi everyone,

Hi dlads, thanks for the warning and advice you gave me. I can't thank you all enough for the passion and time you dedicate to the cause.

At this point I would like to explain a little better what I have done so far.

I started with an unlocked bootloader and rooted device with 2.5.2 OS vers. Due to my negligence I had damaged the recovery mode and I could no longer access any recovery mode (native recovery mode and twrp). The NP2 only booted into the bootloader and was not recognized by the PC. After a day of failed attempts to find suitable drivers to make it recognizable through adb commands, I followed the guide "Unbrick Nothing Phone 2 with official EDL Flash Tool - Updated Version!" by Sh@kira. Thanks, thanks and thanks again that i was able to start the phone and then updated from version 2.5.1 to version 2.5.2 and finally to version 2.5.3.

I don't want to bore you, but maybe it could be useful to someone.
[Nothing Phone 2] NEO701:
May I ask why using Nothing flash tool on device with 2.5.3 can brick the device?

As far as I understand this tool can recover the SW of the device and unbrick it whatever it's SW status is.

And if actually it can brick it, then that means the tool is not useful at all for all the devices updated to 2.5.3 if bricked?
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Not sure, there is a change in 2.5.3... I use it to revert back to stock when I've been on a custom ROM.

This is what happened.

I used the tool to go back to stock 2.0.3 from 2.5.2 nothing much ROM.

Then updated to 2.5.3, then installed CRDroid, I didn't like it so I went to go back to stock, same dance as before used the tool to go back to 2.0.3... only this time it crash dumped, apparently a few others have had the same issue.

You can definitely use the tool but only from 2.5.2 or below, at least for now anyway... People are working on it, so for now if you're on 2.5.3 then you'd need to downgrade in order to use the flash tool iirc.
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Yea if you were on 2.5.2 then you could use the flash tool.

Now you're on 2.5.3 I would advise not to, at least until it's been updated.
[Nothing Phone 2] NEO701:
Thanks for the feedback!

So what heappened to your device then? did you recover it?
[Nothing Phone 2] rabmax:
Good evening everyone, I just finished to lock the NP2 bootloader. I would like to thank mvikrant97 for making the guide "Unbrick Nothing Phone 2 with official EDL Flash Tool - Updated Version" available to all of us. I would also like to thank Sc@kya for his guide "Re-lock the Bootloader and bring the phone back to factory state" and all of you who helped me solve my problem. But I want to say to all the geniuses like you, you deserve my respect for sharing your knowledge with which we beginners can solve some problems.
[Nothing Phone 2] zhja:
Could you please explain what did you do to relock, maybe you could list here.
[Nothing Phone 2] rabmax:
"I'm glad that my experience can be useful to someone, so I will describe in more detail the steps I had to take to restore the NP2.

1. I had the device updated to version 2.5.2, with the bootloader unlocked, rooted, and with TWRP installed.

2. Wanting to install the latest update 2.5.3, I damaged the recovery mode and could no longer enter TWRP or the device's proprietary Recovery mode. The key combination to enter recovery mode always brought me back to bootloader mode, and when I tried to enter recovery mode through the bootloader menu, the device would reboot into the bootloader menu. For some reason, the device was not recognized by the PC through ADB commands.

3. With the guide 'Unbrick Nothing Phone 2 with official EDL Flash Tool - Updated Version' by mvikrant97, the device was recognized by the program, and I flashed the NP2. Then I found myself with a working device, and at its startup, I followed the configuration procedure, updating it step by step from version 2.5.1 to version 2.5.2 and finally to version 2.5.3. So the NP2 had been updated via OTA, but the problem of the unlocked bootloader remained.

4. For some unknown reason, the device in bootloader mode was not recognized for ADB commands by Windows 11.

5. Following Sc@kya's guide 'Re-lock the Bootloader and bring the phone back to factory state,' I used an old PC with a version of Linux already installed to get the NP2 recognized. To do this, it was enough to execute the commands from Sc@kya's guide. From the PC with the Linux operating system, I executed the following commands:

01 > sudo apt update <

02 > sudo apt install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot <

Type 'Y' When Prompted & Complete The Installation

Using the NP2's Vol- and Power on key combinations, I started the device in bootloader mode. I connected the device to the PC and executed the following commands:

03 > sudo adb reboot bootloader < [ The Phone Should Reboot Into Fastboot Mode ]

04 > sudo fastboot devices < If It Returns A Response With A Device ID, Then Everything Is Working.

05 > sudo fastboot flashing lock <

[ Will Give A Prompt On The Phone Screen, Navigate Using VOLUME Keys & Press POWER Button To Accept ]

Wait For The Process To Complete.

Now Run | sudo fastboot reboot | [The Phone Should Reboot & Do A Factory Reset.]

These were the steps I took to restore the NP2 and relock che bootloader."
[Nothing Phone 2] Vagelis1608:
Excellent work and nice tutorial.

As for Windows not recognising the device in the bootloader, it could be a driver issue.

Does the device show up in Device Manager? Probably as an unknown device
[Nothing Phone 2] rabmax:
Good evening Vagelis1608, and thank you for your comment. Regarding the device that is not being recognized, I want to tell you that it's still causing me some headaches. Let me explain better: if the NP2 is started, meaning it's turned on and operational, then it is recognized by Windows 11. However, as soon as I start it using adb commands or through the key combination in the bootloader, Windows 11 stops recognizing it. It surely has to do with the drivers, which for some reason are not working well on my Windows. This issue has only occurred with this particular device. I've tried with the LG V30 and the Samsung Tablet SM-T713, and I've always managed to resolve it.
[Nothing Phone 2] dlads:
Turn on fin transfer... Sometimes helps me
[Nothing Phone 2] Vagelis1608:
Check if it shows up in Device Manager as an unknown device or something.

If so, update it's drivers manually to Google's fastboot drivers.

Hi there,

after some year or so of Windows-Mobile abstinence I am now the proud owner of a Touch HD. Since the device's gorgeous screen and (in my opinion) decent battery life make it an ideal platform for ebook reading, I'd like to ask if someone has already found some Touch-HD-like software. Key points are the absence of suitable hardware buttons for scrolling, so something with drag-'n-scroll or even sensor integration would be nice... Any suggestions?
