    Post Any chance of salvaging my screen?

    I really liked this phone. I'm tempted to buy another to replace it and see what I can get on ebay for this afflicted phone. But I'd be really pissed if the same thing happened again. I haven't been able to find anything online suggesting this is a problem for this phone, so I'm assuming it's...

    Thread Any chance of salvaging my screen?

    My Mate 10 Pro was working beautifully when I started taking pics and it glitched out. I rebooted and now if my screen brightness is over about 40%, I have a super bright green light on the bottom of the phone. And the whole screen seemed to have very subtle "screen door" effect. It's just...

    Post EMUI 9.1 update - all notifications late or not appearing

    totally bummed. my Mate 10 Pro screen just went crazy. It now has a bright green line all across the very bottom of the screen. And the whole screen now has a faint "screen door" effect going on. just enough to be irritating. I doubt I can live with it, but I loved this phone.

    Post Umidigi F1 - questions and missing Pie functions

    I'm no camera expert, really never expected much from a phone camera. but I'd call it a bit below average. I currently have LG V30+, Essential PH-1, Huawei Mate SE, and the F1 and it definitely finishes last in the camera department. Seems to struggle with the focus and fairly often the...

    Post Umidigi F1 - questions and missing Pie functions

    does seem to be a proximity sensor problem on this phone. i see the option to calibrate it, but not turn it on or off. calibration fails every time edit: proximity sensor seems to be working now. calibration said it failed but after reboot, it does seem to be working correctly.

    Post No more Blu r1 hd?

    wonder if Amazon pulled the R1 HD because they knew about this security flaw: got an email from amazon about a security issue with the R1 HD. now the phones been called out explicitly in this article about chinese software that's sending data back to china. guess we know why the phone is so...

    Post MOTO G 4th Gen How to Remove the Amazon Lock Screen Ads and Bloat Ware

    I am pretty happy with mine but you can't install updates without flashing the stock rom. I got a killer deal on the phone, but I would probably suggest that someone just buy the non-prime version.

    Post Ghost Touch while charging

    xt1625 here, and i get the same thing. no issues with ghost touching at all when its not charging. ghost touches fairly regularly when charging. luckily, its not an issue for me to leave it alone while charging. but yeah, it would be nice if they were able to fix that issue.

    Post MOTO G 4th Gen How to Remove the Amazon Lock Screen Ads and Bloat Ware

    so i've been ad free for some time now and I'm pretty happy with the phone, other than ghost touching madness when its charging. anyway, last few days it tells me that an update is available. of course, the update errors out and that's fine. but it won't stop telling me about the update, even...

    I was able to buy two of the 2GB version using the Prime Household thing. You can have two adults per address share Prime. So two different sign ons, one for me and one for the wife. I could order a phone using each of those sign-ons. I think all you need is a name an email address, you...

    Post MOTO G 4th Gen How to Remove the Amazon Lock Screen Ads and Bloat Ware

    clearly I'm missing something obvious as others have used this without issue. but when i unzip any of the XT1625 bloat remover zips, there is no .xml files to be found. and the instructions say that is what I flash using RSDLite. I get to the point where RSDLite is connected but I can't find...

    Post BLU R1 HD General Discussion

    I don't mind the ads, but it is a bit annoying that amazon is offering $50 credit to the non-ad version now. I bought mine on prime day and with promos and credits for using Amazon Reward card, got my 32G version for crazy cheap - $75 plus tax. So I don't want to return it and mess up any of...
