Is there Something better than flashing the firmware? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hello
My device android 10, was having some issues like weather disappearing from at a glance, notifications in silent mode even switching them to alerting, locking sound not working, so i reclean flashed factory image and still some issues is there
So my question is there anything more to do than reflashing factory image ? Is there something better to do, something more accurate more complete

I have in both my pixel similar problems so I assume it's the way it is.
Btw flashing the factory image from google is as clean as you can install it.

Gmail Lag in 4.2?

I installed Busybox odexed 4.2 stock image and noticed significant lag in gmail. I would change user and the selection menu freezes or lags by at least 1 second before performing the task. This is the same with when I'm opening a new mail or any other options.
Does anyone else experience this? Or did I have a bad flash? I dirty flashed it from 4.1.2 first, noticed the issue then wiped everything completely for a fresh install. Same thing happens.
No issues here. Then again, I flashed the official image via fastboot and a factory reset. Haven't heard of anyone else having this problem.

[Q] No IMEI and Baseband and also a weird stutter on Lollipop

Hey there.
Okay so, I rooted and installed TWRP using Odin on my Note2, and of course, I tried CM12, and also a lot of lollipop ROMS. I'm not much of a noob so I guess I didn't miss anything important, clearing cache, factory reset, did all of it, now the thing is.. I get this weird lag/stutter kinda thing that happens randomly followed up with a vibration, I noticed things like, no IMEI and baseband, so I followed a friends advice who had a similar problem on his G2, he fixed it by backing up EFS from a working stock ROM and restored it into the custom Lollipop OS, this worked for him, now I tried the same thing, but it doesn't seem to help, also I noticed that the "vibration intensity" setting is blank, just like IMEI and baseband. Whenever I put the phone in PowerSave mode from the "RESSURECTION ROM" which disables all sorts of vibrations, the stutter/lag disappears.. It only happens when vibrations are enabled on balanced or performance mode. Now I really wanna know how to fix this so I can use Android 5.0 on my Note2. Thanks in advance

Re flash/install stock OREO

So i just updated my moto z play to OREO via the official OTA last month. Since then i've been experiencing bad battery life. I already did a factory reset and monitored the battery with just the stock apps installed and the battery bug "system ui' is always the culprit. Booted to safe mode and that bug is gone.
So here is my scenario
Safe Mode: SYSTEM UI bug NOT PRESENT
Normal Mode with NO third party apps: SYSTEM UI BUG STILL PRESENT
I can maybe conclude that it was the OREO update that was causing this. Maybe a corrupt download or something.
Issues i'm facing
1.Battery bug "system ui' always on top of my battery charts
2.Navigation bar changing positions each unlock, some say its an oreo feature to prevent burn in but when i booted to safe mode the nav bars are not changing positions. So which is which?
3. Wifi sometimes doesn't wanna turn on, if i hit turn on it just resets back to off regardless. Needs a phone restart to work again.
4. Interface sometimes freezes and lags while scrolling.
My question is that is it possible to re install the stock oreo update AGAIN even if i'm already on official 8.0? I'm not rooted and never did rooted my z play. Already did multiple factory resets but the same scenario above happens. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
I knew the soak test were out but did not know that Oreo release was available ota. It will change your booltloaders. Every time I google for oreo I get a bunch of problems listed but you may find more help there than here since this tends more toward custom ROMs. Make sure none of the apps you have added are loading things...

Question Soft Reboots After Every Reboot [SOLVED]

EDIT: Apparently this was a result of using the wrong setting for enabling hotspot in PropsConfig. Because all that stuff was set during bootup, deleting apps wouldn't change the situation. Setting worked fine on my Pixel XL, but not here. Changed the setting and all is well.
--------------------------
So, this is a weird issue I was curious about and may have missed on my searching. Every time I reboot the phone, when I got to log in it immediately follows up with a soft reboot. It's been happening for a while, and I'm not sure the source of the issue.
Running stock 12 ROM and rooted, but I disabled SU, modules, and Nova and am still running into the issue.
Might be quicker and easier to back up your required files and just factory reset.

I know, it's just that it sounds like you've already disabled some things that could be causing it, which hasn't helped. If it was me, with something like constant reboots, I'd want to start fresh just to make sure they are eliminated for good

I've seen reports of "random" (=not intentional) reboots after
+ booting up the phone
+ using the FP scanner
+ making videos or shooting photo
+ doing a firmware update (I've seen both reports of ppl that "officially" OTAed & used manual flashing)
+ doing nothing
+ doing something
Some were able to fix their issues by factory resetting, some needed replacement devices. Some reported that even after a factory reset, the issue still persisted, but they were able to fix it by NOT using a backup via cable, some reported that even the Google Drive backup "corrupted" their phone (fix after setting up everything by hand from scratch). Some even reported their issues to get fixed via a software update.
So it seems to be connected to hardware (= replacement device) and/or software simultaneously (=fix via reset).
Strange this is since there are also numerous reports of Samsung owners that upgraded to A12 about random reboots. So it might even be something Android 12 related, or it's just Samsung also implementing similar bugs without it being A12 related (unlikely, since the reports seem to be centered around people using the new A12 update).
I also had the random reboot problem (~ 6 times a day, when doing nothing, it just rebooted when the phone layed on the table in idle). I wasn't able to fix it via a reset, so I got a replacement device.
I also have the "random" reboot problem on my Pixel 3 since upgrading to Android 12 (never had any issues all the years I've been using that phone), so that issue is clearly caused by A12, but I haven't troubleshot it/ tried to solve it, since I don't actively use the phone currently.
Aside from trying a factory reset and minding the backup issue (especially backups that you got from phones that did NOT have Android 12), there is not much more that you can do (ofc you could also use the Pixel repair/android flash tool to do a "clean" install of Android on your phone). Next step would be to contact Google.

Replacing current miui rom with the same stock rom: STRANGE ISSUE

Hi everyone,
I have an unmodified Xiaomi 10T lite MIUI Global 13.0.8.0 (SJSEUXM) Stable stock rom. The problem is that it's developed a very strange issue where ALL incoming calls show as UNKNOWN. Just to be clear, the numbers coming through are not being withheld.
Here's the even more strange issue - A few days ago, I decided to factory reset it and when it loaded up for the very first time and the setup goes through standard questions such as asking for WIFI, google apps info - If I don't complete these standard details and get someone to call me, then the incoming numbers are coming through fine, but as soon as I continue the setup, entering my WIFI, google login/apps info, it ends up back with the same issue of incoming numbers showing as unknown. I tried to factory reset it several times to be sure it's not a one-off issue, but same problem again and again. To be 100% sure that it was nothing to do with the simcard or my way of setting up, I used a different backup phone and setup everything on there just fine without any issues at all.
This has led me to believe that there is something wrong or corrupt with the rom and I believe a reflash should resolve this issue.
So I have the following question:-
Is it possible wipe out any cache/data of the current rom that will clear everything?
If the answer to the above is no, how can I flash the current stock rom with another copy of the latest stock rom?.
If I have to flash another rom, how I can do this and would this require the bootloader to be unlocked?
Thanks very much for all your help.
