@arubislander Thanks a lot for this tip. I have no familiarity with Android but wondered if that might be the case. Good to know!

@Eric-H Interesting! Even the unblocked photo isn't so bad to my eye, but I see the difference. Thanks for pointing me to that! Very helpful to know the details before spending hundreds on one phone or another. Thank you!

@MrT10001 Thanks for the input. That makes sense, especially now that Apple is playing along with RCS. I imagine the proportion of messages sent by SMS/MMS protocols is dropping dramatically. Perhaps I'll try a different carrier.

Hi @Jam, as @MrT10001 and @rubencarneiro already informed. Yes Android downgrade to 10. This website was helpful for me, but you should check the Windows drivers first or simply install them in advance. Windows would then complain if these are already installed. See therefore first: My device isn't detected Go to device manager and make sure your phone shows up as QDLOADER 9008. If it shows up as QHUSB_BULK, it means Qualcomm driver wasn't installed automatically by Windows Update. Download the latest one from Microsoft website at http://download.windowsupdate.com/c..._fba473728483260906ba044af3c063e309e6259d.cab (source https://www.catalog.update.microsof...updateid=8ee52ba0-bdef-4009-88cf-335a678dd67a ) and install it manually by right clicking on QHUSB_BULK and selecting "Update driver software" and "Browse my computer for driver software" to where you downloaded CAB file. In the link described above! Now I wish you good luck and perseverance with the installation. Greetings Mario

That's good news! I was very happy with my OP5 until it broke (fell down inside the wall panel of a train and the screen melted against a heater. Oops.) Glad to hear the OP5T works just as well. They're hard to come by where I live, and there's a 5T available much closer than any OP5. Looks like parts should be largely interchangeable too, screen and case aside. Always good to have spare parts. Nice to hear about 20.04, too. As a not-technically advanced user, running ubports on my only phone, I've been hesitant to switch. I'll try it out when I get the new phone. Thanks a lot for the input, all!

@wally Sorry I forgot to mention to uncheck the Oxygen 9.011 firmware. Glad it all worked .
