You need to install Odin for Samsung and then follow some steps. It could be a bit complicated to understand and you can brick your device if things go wrong so I would not recommend it unless you have some knowledge of flashing firmware.

Best to take it to a repair shop and ask them to do it for you. Will probably cost around 20-30 quid at most.

Moved from Apply to Huawei / Android, with the new P30 Pro. Absolutely astonished with the battery life / super charging / wireless charging.  :o

Is there a non official Huawei charging option to get super charging?

I bought a combo of https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07KVZJ1F5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07MK1ZR3D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But just get quick charge.

Any ideas?

Huawei use their own quick charge technology so the Qualcomm stuff for Smasungs etc won't work.

My 13 year old daughter is proving to be a nightmare in knowing where the hell she is either not answering her phone or constantly on it !  I am also concerned about what she is looking at online and her social media stuff. I have been looking into the various parental apps but am no clearer on which is the best one. Anyone got any suggestions ?

Not in my experience. I too have a Huawei phone and the only cable and plug which seems to 'super charge' is the official Huawei one.

Can you not just use the charger it came with?

HI.

I used to post here quite a load a few years ago when I was developing my app and then 3 children came along which mean the time to develop the app and spend time in forums disappeared.

Anyway i'm just posting to say that I have recently spent a lot of time working on the app to try and bring it back to where it used to be which was a very popular LFC app.

The most recent release adds day and night themes and enables the nextmatch/player birthdays widget for everyone.

Here is the link if anyone remembers the app.

http://bit.ly/30NiQPq

Appreciate the support. Hoping to get some good feedback form here as id like to spend a lot of time adding new features.

The Redmi K20 Pro is the new flagship killer coming out from Xaiomi. My next phone 100%. Just hope it has a global version.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, 6GB Ram, 6.39in AMOLED display, 4000mah battery, NFC, headphone jack, 64/128 storage with exandable memory, pop-up selfie camera.

Broke the screen on my honor 8x last week so might give it to the aul lad and get the k20/k20 pro. By the sounds of things the only difference between them is the k20 uses the sd730 instead of the sd855. I don’t game on phones so not sure I’d notice the difference.

Right. After years with a Samsung S7 edge I am about to replace. I am not going to get myself tied to a contract and will buy another phone outright. I am not a technical wizard like some of you on here so need something that I understand quickly, has access to google play, takes really good pics and basically works the same as the samsung I am used to. Without buying another samsung until recently the Huawei Pro 20 looked a good choice but does that mean if I get one now that I won`t be able to use google play in the future ? The other option seems to be the One Plus 7 which seems to tick a lot of boxes but some reviews seem to suggest the camera isn`t up to the standard of the Pro 20.

So, if I go for a Huwaei is all this stuff in the news recently going to stop me using google play apps or access to them ? or should I go for the One Plus 7 anyway ?

All suggestions and advice welcomed !!

Used it years ago to skip ads and popups in aps. Used to work on a few of the older games and apps for in-app purchases (but I've been told that has long been patched out of google). Does mean you having to root your phone and it can be a bit of a faff getting it to work how you want. But in practice you can find patches versions of the games online if you know where to look

Huawei does have the vastly superior camera but the OnePlus 7 does take more than acceptable photos. If you just want a point and shoot camera then either are fine

In terms of google on Huawei, you will get still have access to the google apps and play store even when the worst of the trade deal kicks in. BUT what you will lose in future are google and Android updates. So when Android moves to version 10 you wont get those updates. You will also lose out on security patches for your phone making your phone technically open to security flaws. These will not be patched by Google/Huawei.

But I am like you in that I dont do contracts and buy my phone up front (well on a credit card and pay it down). I can only talk about Oneplus as I have had the 3 and 5T versions and cant fault them or their service (both have had screen burn issues and they were fixed by Oneplus for free).

Many thanks for that. I really like the cameras on the Huawei but based on what you're saying about the future security flaws then clearly sensible choice is the Oneplus. I do want a really good camera. I currently take my SLR on holiday but frankly for days out with family etc it is a pain in the arse to lug about so want a phone with a camera which provides good images using the zoom etc.

Apparently the Huawei Mate 20 Pro will have the next beta of Android Q. Whether it continues to receive the monthly security updates remains to be seen, likely depends on whether the executive order from Trump is rescinded, but for now it's the best supported phone I've had (and I owned the OnePlus One, 2 and 3T).

It's camera and battery life blow every other phone I've used out of the water. But again I've not tried anything else newer than the OnePlus 3T to compare it to.

Does anyone know how to 'close' Google Podcasts? Even when I'm done with it, I can seem to swipe it of my active apps/notifications list.

And is there a way of preventing the brief pause on Podcasts, BBC Sounds, and more, when you receive a message notification?  I find this more of an irritation than a benefit.

I have been a long time IOS user but wanted to get an android phone for a long time. I bit the bullet a few days ago in a black Friday sale and bought the Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro. It’s a real beauty of a phone and quite the flagship killer.

But here’s the thing – I’m really concerned about privacy and security on a Xiaomi device. After doing some research it seems pretty clear that MiUi Global OS and a lot of the bloatware apps that come pre-installed share user data with Servers in some shady locations. I even read about incognito user browsing data being shared. I’ve also read speculation about the possibility of spyware being embedded in the hardware.

On the flipside I’m sure Apple and Google are no angels themselves. iOS is closed source after all.

Does anyone have any tips to securely configure one of these Xiaomi handsets to maximise security and privacy? From removing bloatware to actually installing a custom ROM, I’m open to it but I would be really interested to hear thoughts and recommendations on here.

I use blokada and don't have any concerns with my Xiaomi device. It works as a VPN and is fully configurable to block any unwanted traffic aswel as all adverts/tracking cookies. On top of that there is a large custom ROM development community over on XDA. As far as ROMs go the Xiaomi EU ROM seems to be the ROM of choice as it is basically stock Xiaomi rom with bloatware removed.

I have had to send my Motorola G7 Power phone for repair (there was an issue with the headphone jack/speakerphone, couldn't hear any sounds even with a pair of headphones plugged in the 3.5mm jack).

They took the SIM card out before it was sent to the repairer (returned it on 23/6).  I got the phone back today & after restoring my backup, I noticed there weren't any SMS messages between 23/6 & this afternoon.  Will I be able to restore these missing texts or will they have disappeared permanently?  I don't think there was anything urgent, but I get sent a lot of text messages each day.

If I have my WiFi/mobile data switched on and send an old fashioned text message to my other half why does it say message not delivered and she will only get it when she puts her WiFi/mobile data on? Is this something new with Android? I had to turn my WiFi/mobile data off to send a text message that she got almost immediately as she answered in about 1 minute...

Gonna get a second Android phone as a dedicated music device. I currently have the most recent iPod Touch but the battery life is terrible and it's too small. There are some decent cheap phones that are good enough for what I want as well as expandable memory with SD Cards which still cheaper than getting a refurbed iPhone for the same purpose.

Got the A53 this week. Had the A40 for 4 years but it was finally time to upgrade the phone as the volume had all but gone and it was falling apart a bit. Got it for 31 a month with 40 gb which is way more than I'll need.

Really liking it so far- battery seems way better, good camera, smooth to operate.

Only issue I have with Samsung phones seems to be notification flashes on lockscreens. I have to download 'glimpse notifications' for each phone - a small thing but seems crazy unless I'm not seeing an obvious setting change.

Used to be really into rooting and flashing roms onto my phone. But nowadays you end up losing so much. If I do I lose my online banking, google pay/wallet (need that for my NFC for the football). Plus the phone ends up really buggy.

Used to be really into rooting and flashing roms onto my phone. But nowadays you end up losing so much. If I do I lose my online banking, google pay/wallet (need that for my NFC for the football). Plus the phone ends up really buggy.

I plan to get a burner if I ever actually get match tickets ever again, though can also get a pass off the ticket office for non NFC phones.

I can sympathise with this view but my rooted phone is phenomenonal. I don't know how people cope with the default sound volume of non rooted phones. Not to mention AdAway and the like. I don't see adverts. Full stop.

But then I don't like Google Pay. I don't care about online banking via my phone or having a wallet on my phone, my lifestyle just isn't that... Hectic?

I see what you mean though. It's fast becoming more of a hindrance than a help. It's a shame.

The amount of apps that don't work with root I suppose I'm lucky it's things I don't care about. But I made my choice. It's sort of academic anyway, importing a Chinese Xiaomi that was never released here. It isn't, really, usable without root

Didn't want to start a new thread but this is driving me mad if anyone can help. Since the most recent update on my Samsung A54 the torch has disappeared from the drag down on the home screen and I can't find any way of getting it back, anyone any ideas?

Thanks for the reply, I don't have one any more unless I'm going mad? This is the first screen and if I swipe to the second screen it just has a couple of shortcuts and nothing else. There used to be a lot more shortcut buttons there.
