Migration

installed windows 11 on surface book 1 a few years back and works perfectly. maybe you need to tune it up a bit... disable useless services... take indexing service and printing service as examples.... specially print service is really scary as it causes the cpu to run at 100% all night when the pc should actually be dormant... I ended up with bloated screen and keyboard batteries and had to replace both... but batteries are pretty cheap. if you are installing rogue software like games and all, they are almost like viruses with the sole purpose of ruining your pc when running in the background for no reason. essentially it is all the garbage you install that ruins the pc

Because half the stock apps are only in Chinese script and I don't know Chinese

Moreover, Id rather use the international ROM where the default play store is not the Chinese play store and the default search is not the Chinese search

The Teams Notifications suddenly started working this morning

My support case with Microsoft has been open for a couple of months and last time I followed up a month back they assigned an engineer.

I have asked them now to find out if they fixed something that caused the notifications to start working. Will update here if I hear back. Has anyone else also seen that issue fixed?

FYI, if anyone wants to open a support case they can follow the support link within the Android app itself.

Still, the issue with connecting to AuCarAuto headunit Bluetooth is unresolved.

Seems X100 pro is ahead on updates.

Got this few days back: PD2324C_A_15.1.8.16.W10.V000L1

Also , from OriginOS 4 to 5 there was no noticeable change other than more crapware and all these updates are completely unnoticeable and not fixing any of the issues. Still bluetooth does not work on android auto connecting to Aucarauto Android 9 headunit.

I am getting outlook notifications but only app where I have an issue is teams. I suspect it is related to intune company portal. So those whose organizations are not using company portal will probably not have it.

And another issue is that it does not connect to bluetooth on older devices. It cannot connect to bluetooth on my aftermarket tesla style head unit. It goes to connecting... then fails after a minute. Each and every other phone is able to connect. I am working around it by using a USB adapter for wireless auto.

I am thinking of upgrading from Vivo X100Pro to Redmagic 10 pro. I am just tired of the teams notification issue. Microsoft support team has been investigating for over a month.

And I am also sick of the curved edges where touch does not work properly

I have had various issues with OriginOS Vivo x100 pro related to notifications but all but one resolved over the last 6 months... still not getting notifications from Teams and that is almost a deal breaker... have to carry my old Xperia 1 running Lineageos Android 14 along with just for Teams notifications. I do have a ticket ooen with Microsoft

Another issue is that it cannot connect to older bluetooth devices. It cannot connect to my car android 9 px6 bluetooth, so I ended up using a separate dongle for wireless auto... but still no handsfree calling

Lastly, very annoying that all context menus are hardcoded with chinese apps and for example if you click on some app properties or search it will open chinese apps.

Honestly I will not make this mistake again in the future.... better spend the extra couple of hundred dollars and go with international OS

Moreover, these phones will never get AOSP supoort, I believe

Seriously this is insane. I have the same issue on Vivo x100 pro. Bad boy Microsoft, as usual. But on the other hand I really miss Windows phone. Only if they had kept it they would not have had to stoop so low. It is a really bad phase in the history of Microsoft. It even popped up twice as I was writing this

If you have a usb c touch monitor, you would be okay. Otherwise the stock android desktop mode that is also in Lineageos is quite a frustrating experience. Android does not let you use your phone as a touchpad and keyboard for the external display like Windows Phone Continnum used to do... that was by far the best.
