[OnePlus 11] bynarie:
So I'm curious if anyone else experienced the issue I had... I did a magisk restore images(on 14.0.0.701) then took the OTA to version 14.0.0.800. Then, before reboot I installed magisk to inactive slot. Pretty standard for taking OTAs and keeping root with magisk. But when my phone rebooted, it would not go past the orange state screen. It would do the 5 second delay and then power off. I could not get it to boot up. So I had to goto fastboot and set my active slot back to B to get it to boot. But now I'm on 701 firmware and I'm afraid to try OTA again. If anyone has any idea what is going on please reply. Also, I do happen to have stock init_boot for 800 (14.0.0.800), not 801. And I have the update URL for the OTA package. OTA zip for 14.0.0.801
[OnePlus 11] MrSteelX:
You have a conflicting mod installed that needs to be removed before updating. https://xdaforums.com/t/oneplus-11-rooting-guide-on-android-14.4632983/page-7

Has both stock boot.img and init_boot.img 801
[OnePlus 11] bynarie:
You think its one of my magisk modules that I need to uninstall? I was thinking of removing all of them before OTA this time.
[OnePlus 11] MrSteelX:
Yes. By removing all mods will allow the update then you can reinstall the mods.
[OnePlus 11] bynarie:
Do you still need stock init_boot for 800 firmware? Here it is - in case you need it.
[OnePlus 11] egandt:
Thx, used apatch to patch boot, like magisk more, but worked
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] going_home:
Didnt see a spot for this so here it is.

I am sick of the S24 Ultra, cant seem to get ATT to let me unlock it even thought its paid off.

I'm ready for a Pixel 9 Pro.

Anyone have any news on this upcoming phone ?

:cowboy:
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
Not yet, still a little early
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] LLStarks:
I'm down for the Pro XL unless the regular-sized Pro makes no serious compromises (i.e. worse selfie camera).

What the 9 brings to the table over the 8 needs to be shown. So far it might just be small improvements, a reorganized core config, standard and nonstandard satellite, Pixie assistant, and then maybe 5G Advanced for Android 16.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Will probably wait for the TSMC built chip (Pixel 10). Pixel 9 Pro/XL will be a minor upgrade over the Pixel 8 Pro in my opinion (based on the information leaked so far). The only thing that really excites me so far is the extra 4 GB of RAM. Ignoring the Geekbench results right now since it's too early and I think they ran it on Geekbench 5 instead of 6 (results weren't great). Not a big fan of benchmarks anyway.

Plenty of articles of what we know so far though...
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] zetsumeikuro:
https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/6549343

Decent uplift compared to the current model. Minor as always and that's probably what we will continue to see. I just hope they take efficiency into mind vs Qualcoom is doing now.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] yanggame:
As long as chip is not produced by TSM. You should expect that it will be HOT.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] iceepyon:
All Qualcomm Snapdragon chips run hot, it is a design defect in their GPU which makes them run really hot. This issue has been around since the early Snapdragon chips and has never been resolved. Which is why Samsung throttled the Snapdragon 888 SOCs on all their devices to prevent overheating issues on their SD888 powered devices
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] LLStarks:
Guess it's coming in August now and I'm all for it. Hope PW3 is bundled.

hey Google, it would be nice to have your full gemini on your pixel 9 pro xl ultra max !!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Gilg@mesh:
I really hope they use vapor chamber for cooling this time so it feels less hot, I can live with the Exynos SoC another year.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
Why?? Gemini is crap
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] x111:
well, better than nothing !!

full gemini advance 1.5 pro version is not that bad.

also, google make your AI crap be fully online and have any info in it !!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
This is NOT an attempt to get political but IS a point on why it's inaccurate

Google’s ‘Woke’ Image Generator Shows the Limitations of AI

Google has hit pause on Gemini’s ability to generate images of people after a far-right backlash to its historical depictions.

When prompted to create an image of Vikings, Gemini showed exclusively Black people in traditional Viking garb. A “founding fathers” request returned Indigenous people in colonial outfits; another result depicted George Washington as Black. When asked to produce an image of a pope, the system showed only people of ethnicities other than white. In some cases, Gemini said it could not produce any image at all of historical figures like Abraham Lincoln, Julius Caesar, and Galileo.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] mookiexl:
Up until owning the Pixel 8 pro, I use to put a lot of stock into buying flagships with the strongest chips and the highest benchmarks. High or low bench, this device has performed better than my s22,23 Ultras. It's run cooler and contrary to reviews SOT has been better. Just got like 12 hours SOT in A15 beta. Only advantage for the stronger Soc I've witness day to day is how slow video editing is in Power Director.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Guyinlaca:
I'd wait for the Pixel 10 Pro. After using the 6 Pro, 7 Pro. and 8 Pro, all I've seen is each generation fixing a few flaws from the previous generation, but never matching Snapdragon competitors. The 6 Pro had a terrible modem and overheated like crazy. The 7 Pro mostly improved the modem but had washed out colors and touchscreen issues and still got very warm. The 8 Pro fixed the touchscreen and improved cooling slightly but lacked all the efficiency gains of 2023 competitors. Starting with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (TSMC produced) battery life surpassed iPhones, and Google has yet to even come close. Aside from trade in deals and deep discounts after 6 months, the Pixel line is grossly overpriced. The key things that need to be fixed are:

-Storage technology. UFS 4.0 became the standard last year but Google stuck with 3.1 on the 8 series.

-Charging speeds. The Pixel 8 Pro takes nearly twice as long to charge as the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

-Battery efficiency and cooling. The 8 Pro gets less hot than 7 Pro, but still warmer than Snapdragon models.

-Return to 19.5:9 aspect ratio combined with smaller bezels. Samsung and Apple have made this standard.

-New Quick Settings menu. Samsung, OnePlus, and Sony have layouts with much more efficient use of space.

-Ability to hide the navigation pill. Samsung, Motorola, and OnePlus all allow you to hide it. It's overdue.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] netgar:
Agree 100%.

Will switch to Samsung s25 ultra next year

No need to root phone anymore. You break more things and is not worth it anymore. You will more customization on Sammy then pixel + Sammy is way more snappy.

I switched from One plus 9 pro to pixel 8 pro and the pixel camera is the only one thing I'm not disabled.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
More and more I'm sure my next phone will be the OnePlus 13 when it comes out
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] sic0048:
I purchased the 8 Pro expecting to keep it for several years. I certainly won't be looking at the 9 series, but the 10 might be attractive depending on how different the new chip is.

I will say however that if OnePlus keeps improving their issues (like the camera's performance), I might consider those phones in the future. It seems like the OP12 got a lot of things right..... If they continue to make positive strides, maybe one day they will actually produce a phone that lives up to their moto of "Never Settle".
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] theincognito:
Same. I got the 8 Pro thinking of keeping it for years and I might get the 10 series phone based on the reviews.

I currently also owns OnePlus 12 (it's unrooted, as a secondary phone) and it's really, really good, considering the price. And the battery backup is insane, compared to my 8 Pro.

Google Tensor G5: Pixel 10 series' SoC allegedly tapes out on TSMC's 3 nm node​

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] rester555:
They should be doing this with RCS too.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] rester555:
One thing I've been begging for that a lot of people are giving me pushback on is what OnePlus is doing. I want 100 watt charging. I might end up buying a OnePlus that has really fast charging just so I can use RCS.

Google's lack of vision in a bunch of areas. Just pisses me off.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] x111:
fast charging is harmful for lithium-ion trash batteries !!

the shower you charge it, the better !!

also, you cannot charge it over 80% and discharge below 10% !!

google, we do NOT need fast charging with current lithium-ion trash batteries !!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] rester555:
I know this. My wife works on lithium ion battery monitoring systems.

I am well aware of conditioning lithium-ion. Most of the people in this thread do not hold on to their phone for more than 2 years.

I have many people in the engineering community that have bought the OnePlus 10t. This is a phone that has been around for 3 years now. The battery has 100 watt charging. None of these individuals have a problem with their battery today.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
This is a myth
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] chill145:
I've mentioned it here before but that's exactly what I did. Bought the OP12 to test drive it before OP13 and Pixel 9pro come out and I love it. From 30% battery to nearly full in about 15 minutes is insane to me. It's fast, snappy, and most importantly, can hide nav bar without root. Camera is the only downgrade but not by much. Excited to see what they do with the OP13.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] rester555:
My wife designs many of the lithium ion topologies as well. Whether it's LiPO4 or LiMnCoO2. Both are best to be conditioned to be charged from 80% to 20% for longevity.

The good news is that depending on the BMS being used, you can prolong how long it takes to deplete when charging outside that range.

Modern BMS systems account for better reliability of the Li ion battery topologies due to constant current power profiles from the 20% to 80% recharge cycle. So you only have to worry about the battery after owning it from years 5 to 10.

Most people in the mobile cellular market, especially on this forum, don't hold onto their daily driver that long. This is why I advocate for pixel creating their own 100w charging.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] MArtyChubbs:

Ultrasonic fingerprint reader

Exclusive: Google is finally adding an ultrasonic fingerprint reader to the Pixel 9

The Google Pixel 9 is coming with a massive upgrade to its fingerprint scanner. Here's everything you need to know

www.androidauthority.com
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] MArtyChubbs:
Good point, and I'm not really familiar with their phones. I wonder if their AI is rebranded Google or their own. In all honesty, I'm not interested in switching and trying out another phone only to be potentially disappointed, which was my experience trying Samsung phones back in the day only to come back to Google. Back then it was a lack of rooting and battery. Google phones might not be true flagships based on hardware, but there is good value and the ability to cover up the inadequacies with software. They have the resources to be the leader in AI, which would be the biggest advantage in my opinion.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] x111:
getting root rights on oneplus phones is much harder than on google phones, check how to get root on their phone before buying it,

same story with samsung phones, it's hard to get root.

I wish it would be a federal law to sell any Android phone only with unlocked bootloader and root rights.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
I've been straight Google for some years now, but when the one phone Google picks on to put up roadblocks, etc is the Pixel, then I'm just done. I've had devices fro Samsung, HTC, LG, ASUS, you name it.

I never had an OP and reading their forums and reviews, they look really solid and it seems a lot OP and Pixel users cross over pretty regularly
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
AZ Supreme Court actually did pass a law that if you owned your device and chose to void the warranty by modifying it, that was your right.

That was a good 10+ yrs ago and I have no idea whatever happened with it, but it looked we were finally going to be free from being secretive
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] going_home:
I have a Pixel 8 Pro and a S24 ultra .

Neither one of the fingerprint readers are very good IMHO.

The one Google offers the most for is getting traded on the next Pixel.

:(
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] x111:
would be nicer to have optic and ultrasonic in one package with AI assistant for fingerprint.

and the most important option to disable haptics/vibration for fingerprint.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] dmb219:
I'll likely trade my 8 pro on a 9 pro. A smaller pixel without compromises will be a nice change.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Gilg@mesh:
agreed, never liked big phones, though the P8P is ok without case, I really want to go back to the Flip phones but I use the telephoto lens too much but also less headache when rooting Pixel phones compared to Samsung (Knox stuff etc).
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Ultimoose:
Might switch to the 9, might not, need solid data on the uplift features but if they offer a good trade in to go along with store credit I have from the last ones along with some freebie I can ebay for a few bucks to make my out of pocket costs minimal then it falls into the why not update.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] chetly968:
I think I'm going for the Fold if it comes out with the rest of the 9 series. Wanted to get the first fold last year but to me it was outdated upon release. Would love to have a bloat free fold experience. If not, I'll wait for the OnePlus Open 2. That's where I'm at right now.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] pourelle:
Hello everyone,

here, I have just posted photos of a sample of what seems to be the pixel 9 pro xl sent by a friend, it was offered to him for purchase, he would like to know if this part would be a good deal and at what price ? or that you should avoid buying it, attached are the photos of the sample he sent me
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] going_home:
That's not a Google phone.....
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] LLStarks:
It is absolutely a Google prototype with a traceable back design.

I am thinking no, look at the 3rd picture, says Samsung
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] V0latyle:
That's just the memory manufacturer. Samsung is one of the biggest memory manufacturers in the world. Asthetically it definitely looks Google.

FRP locked! Read every "FRP bypass/lock guide available. None worked, was able to get into the phone settings by clicking everything and somehow got into settings, was able to use Clone App to clone my apps which included Nova Launcher and other frp tools for android. Was able to add google account by using gmail and signing in using outlook, hotmail etc. and used my gmail account which I had registed with Microsoft. I am logged into google through chrome somehow, and can use backed up payment methods, and passwords but not able to sign in to use chrome sync. Unable to change screen lock, and unable to factory reset.

Please someone have the answer on what to do next!!!

I'm not trying to be rude or say your wrong, I'm just confused because I see so many FRP post in the discussions, guides and questions. Is it just how I phrased my question ?

The phone is FRP locked because I bought it from a jack@** on FB who has now deleted their Facebook. It's not like I stole it and now coming here to ask my question.

I'll delete the post, but can you steer me in the right direction to find a answer to my issue? If you don't mind

My mother is developing dementia. She gets calls and turns the speaker off to mute. Then I can't reach her. I need an app that will turn it back on, on a daily schedule.

Anything out there like that?
[General Questions and Answers] chriscrondle:
So I bought a new phone and ordered a case. The case came from Amazon and on the case it said "stop, scan this QR code, and watch tutorial to install case"

I said to myself, tutorial for a phone case, that's weird.

I scanned it and it was a youtube link

I watched the youtube link, which is this

So I began to install the case, and I don't know if I clicked something or what, but my phone screen turned blue and it said

"Downloading Custom OS. Restart phone to cancel"

It looked like the windows dialog when it's in bios or whatever

So I restarted the phone and factory wiped it.

Question: after I factory reset the phone, I didn't have to install any updates, which I thought was weird because the first time I got the phone I did. What do I do?
[General Questions and Answers] Zxalilh:
I doubt you did. Can you tell me the model of your phone? "Downloading Custom OS" sounds really sketchy though.
[General Questions and Answers] EllieCat:
Is it from Samsung themselves?

Also, the company has installation guides because it might be hard for some people.
[General Questions and Answers] chriscrondle:

[General Questions and Answers] chriscrondle:
No. A random company off Amazon, about 200 positive reviews for that specific case. Be insane if everyone's phone was getting hacked. Don't see how it's possible
[General Questions and Answers] Zxalilh:
You probably didn't get hacked. It was probably just an advertisement trying to get you to install a "virus defender" app or something like that.
[General Questions and Answers] chriscrondle:
I think it went into the bios. Not even kidding. I've seen scam ads, I don't think this was one. Not sure if you call it bios, it looked pretty legit tho

[Xiaomi Pad 6] danyrd:
Hi, thanks for that.

I have a question, lmdroid provider the IMGs files to flash and a Zip file to sideload It.

This aospa only have one Zip file.

How It works?

Thanks in advance
[Xiaomi Pad 6] Sage:
According to the dev.

Factory reset.

Fastboot -w

Fastboot update *.zip

I'd like to think you can sideload the zip too though not sure. I'm going to install on the next day or two and will post once I do
[Xiaomi Pad 6] Reb0rn:
I came from LMODroid.

Yeah its this but after first reboot it will boot to PA Recovery. Here i was missing a ADB driver so i downloaded the adb driver from this page: https://xiaomidriver.com/xiaomi-pad-5

It was stuck at (Waiting for any device).

And updated the driver while PA Recovery window still was up and it installed everything perfectly.

First thing that hit me is how damn colourful the screen got and also how fluent all feels :D

This is Paranoid Android uvite 5 with included gapps. May 5 security update.

EDIT: Oh and yeah you cant adb sideload this, wont work.
[Xiaomi Pad 6] Sage:
Awesome! Yeah I think this is the new front runner! I'll be coming from Lmodroid too!

Yeah AOSPA is by the Paranoid Android crew
[Xiaomi Pad 6] danyrd:
Hello, can you please make a little step by step guide to flash this??
[Xiaomi Pad 6] Reb0rn:
You got to know how to use fastboot.exe

Step 1.

Boot your tablet to fast boot mode. (Power + Volume Down)

Step 2.

fastboot -w

Wait for it to complete, this essentially factory resets the pad.

Step 3.

fastboot update YourZipFile.zip

It will install bootloader etc then boot up recovery. If you already had ADB driver it will install everything now and it will reboot automatically to AOSPA. If you’re unlucky like I was it will get stuck at (Waiting for any device) when in the recovery. In that case you need a ADB driver. Check windows control panel / devices and look for the one with yellow triangle and update driver to the one from this page: https://xiaomidriver.com/xiaomi-pad-5

Step 4.

Profit o.O

I think coming from Lmodroid is the best approach.
