Hello XDA Community. I am seeing more and more banking and financial apps that have fingerprint logins. I'm skeptical about these things, and how the login authentication is actually managed: 1. Does the app developer get your fingerprint data so it can be used for login purposes? They already...

Can you even get the original OnePlus 6 TGSP anymore? I got tired of all the TGSP stuff for this curved screen and ended up getting a Skimoni. Haven't installed it yet.

OMYFILM TGSP for OnePlus 6 I tried out the OMYFILM screen protector for OnePlus 6 from Amazon.ca. Generally I was disappointed with the product. The notch cutout shape of the screen protector doesn't even match what is shown in the photo in the listing, and I am sending it back. Links...

Does the Skinomi play well with phone cases?

Good point... and considering that we are such a micro-market, I don't see Huawei having a lot of incentive to provide speedy updates to this phone. :confused:

How do you know that this is a Canadian-specific hardware version of the Mate 20 Pro?

I'm just security-conscious. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean anyone is actually chasing you! :silly: In China, the police can just arrest anyone and hold them forever until they give up their phone PW. That's police states for you! Here in the Western world, PIN unlocks often have...

That is what happens when you flash TWRP and then don't install a root utility like Magisk in the same session. I had the same problem and got out of it using the instructions here: Sorry, I can't post links since I'm a 'new' user (low posts, but registered over 1 year ago.) https reddit dot...

Noob questions... 1. Why does this thread focus on SuperSU, when Magisk is available? I thought Magisk was better and SuperSU was sold to a shady company. 2. If I install TWRP and then SuperSU or Magisk, will locking the bootloader again brick my 5x? Thank you.

Hello everyone. I'm just resurrecting this old thread so I can provide the solutions I have found to this problem. It appears this symptom has multiple causes, and there are different solutions depending on the cause. I have seen this problem twice now on my Nexus 5x (stock, no custom ROM) and...
