[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] SpaceGooner:
For me at least there are a few reasons:

1) I often use my phone one-handed while holding a railing with the other hand standing on a busy train to/from work. I find it much easier to use the soft nav keys as they are about 2cm above the bottom of the device, which means I can support the phone more easily with my little finger under it. When I use the hard keys I really have to strain my thumb to use them and hold the device as they are too close to the edge for me. Using the on-screen keyboard is also easier for me swiping one-handed if it's also higher up.

2) I appreciate using the hard keys give the perception that the screen is bigger, but in many situations that doesn't make using the device any better, except there's maybe slightly less scrolling involved. Just because I can see more e-mails listed at once or see more text at the same time on a bigger screen, doesn't mean I can photographically read all of it in one blink.

3) I find the camera easier to use when I use soft keys as I can hold the 'chin' of the device. If I use the hard keys, I have to take care to avoid touching them by holding the thin edge of the device. Generally on devices with hard keys I accidentally press the nav keys a lot more.

4) In most cases, multimedia and gaming is not affected by soft keys, which just auto-hide so the game or movie can use the whole screen. As with the camera, I find it easier to play games when I don't keep hitting nav keys by mistake, which I do much more with the hard keys enabled.

5) Lastly, you could argue that Google intends Android to be used with soft keys. My last 4 nexus phones had them and a lot of other OEMs favour them. I guess that's what I'm most used to, and that's my main reason. I concede there are probably more people who've had Samsung devices than Nexuses, so they will no doubt prefer hard keys - maybe with the back button on the right. One of the great things about the OP3 is that in theory, it should work for every user's preferences.

Don't get me wrong, soft keys are not perfect. For some older apps they don't auto-hide - and with some apps that are up-to-date most notably the Chrome browser and Google maps and sat nav where the screen really is bigger with hard keys. The important thing is that if the OP3 has the option to use soft keys, they really should just work whether you like them or not.

If this is true and the big guy himself has responded directly, then you sir are a hero. Well done for your persistence.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] FiMAX:
Yes, that's the truth. I can not post external links or attach images as a proof because I'm a new member on XDA (usually use it in a read-only mode). It took two support agents of a first line only to create a case with a number. Then a long conversation via email.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] SpaceGooner:
I have no reason to doubt you mate, it's whether the reply actually came from Carl Pei and not one of his customer services people using his name. Either way, at least you've brought this issue to their attention and have got some kind of favourable response. Fingers crossed they follow this up like they told you.

It also shows that while people like me just moan and talk about the problem, you may have achieved a lot more with direct action.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] SpaceGooner:
Still no fix for this bug in 3.2.4. On screen back button still as flaky as before.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] puldag:
Hi, I've got this back button issue after updating to OOS 4.1.0. Only on-screen buttons affected. Until the update, I never experienced it. Hope they ll do quick fix.

Same issue here. Drives me nuts lol. The issue want present on last nougat release. They fixed it and forgot the fix in the latest apparently.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] endstille:
Happens to me as well. I'm somehow relieved, that i'm not the only one, as this happens since like forever >.<

Edit: Openbeta13 firmware seems to have fixed it. however to early to be sure. i will edit again, if it happens again.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] puldag:
Latest stable build OxygenOS 4.1.3 (15.6.2017) solved it.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] lover:
i am having the exactly the same problem but i have updated from OB15 to OB18!

i don't want to factory reset and in some discussions at oneplus's forums people saying even factory reset did not help!?

did anyone find any solution for this?
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] digiboy1:
I have a solution for this but you need root.

Install custom navigation bar -- and change the layout. Maybe set a custom layout, and keep distance ALMOST same, so layout stays almost unchanged. But that minor change does cause back button to start working again.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] lover:
i have root, sometimes capacitive button vibrates but not working and sometimes no vibrate no working sometimes rebooting fixes and sometimes doesnt!

about custom navigation bar which one?

Hello again Startrek, what's cooking...?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Startrek852:
Well, I just uploaded a new build, and I'm thinking about maybe trying Nougat. Have you tried the ROM?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] SHABBYLEA:
The latest Xenon build or Nougat?

Cheers.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Startrek852:
The latest Xenon build, or any of my Xenon builds.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] SHABBYLEA:
Yeah, tried most of them, although not the latest...

Will try the last upload.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] quickdraw86:
I have. Since you asked...

The 10-05-16 build is overall stable, but I came across some issues.

A few general runtime errors and the sound subsetting menu FCs on launch. Logcat.

There are graphical issues as well. The brightness slider in the notification pulldown shade is off-center, and long-pressing the scrubber of it causes the brightness panel to appear, also off-center.

The built-in documents app has invisible text...

And, ROM settings > buttons references options for the menu key at the bottom, though there is no such option to add a menu key to the navbar. Curiously, the recents softkey has last app on long press by default it seems, but there are no options for that key in the buttons menu...

XenonHD updater doesn't work with your builds, and MMS is unnecessary for flo.

Otherwise, everything I have tried thus far seems to work fine. I've only been running your latest for a few hours, as I don't care for unofficial Ns thus far, and don't care to keep up with the threads for those builds either. I'm glad to see you all carry on Arham's work, was a long time xenon user while he was involved with it... Carry on.

try to use kingroot it will root your device but i was unable to install custom recovery as there is no stock recovery to restore it in case i want to get back otas

also sunshine did s-off my device.
[One (M9+) General] flymacs:
I'm not sure how you setup your phone for flashing. I followed this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOHN8byHAzk. I had no issues at all. You have to be in Download Mode to flash twrp. You also have to use the appropriate twrp file for the M9+ (which you said you tried). I also used the current version of SuperSU as the video is over a year old.

I haven't been able to find a stock recovery for the M9+ Supreme Camera and HTC doesn't allow it to be backed up with adb/fastboot. Once you successfully flash twrp I don't think you can get ota updates (not sure if/when there will be any).

I did use twrp to make a full backup of the stock phone. Then I flashed SuperSU. Make sure you copy the SuperSU to internal storage to allow twrp to install it. The external sd doesn't work for flashing or restoring backups.

After flashing SuperSU, I used twrp to wipe dalvik and cache. It's been rock solid and fast. I even got AT&T LTE working in a few US cities (DFW airport area and Tallahassee, FL so far).
[One (M9+) General] yvtc75:
I don't think you have the M9+ SC codenamed "HIAUR_ML_TUHL"

Maybe you got the M9s/M9e (himaruhl).

But your OS version is 2.18.401.10(Android M), I would guess it's One S9.

Needing some help guys.. Does anyone happen have a copy of the SegoeUI font APK? It's the one thing I forgot to back up before I went to MM (I know obviously, my fault), and now I'm a sad panda. I could have sworn I got it off here at one point in time, but it appears that those APKs no longer work (maybe a Marshmallow thing? I dunno.) or the link is dead.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] morphfxf:
Yeah you're right they changed the way fonts work in Marshmallow it has to be Flipfont compatible or you get that error probably due to licensing issues with free fonts.

Download 5.1.1 ftf by using xperifirm.

Download and install latest flashtool.

Run flashtool and click flash button. Choose flash mode and then select your ftf file.( note: exclude all .ta files specially simlock.ta)

Now connect phone in flash mode. Switch off then press and hold volume down button while connecting cable to pc.

Then flash ftf. It will take some time to flash so wait. And do not disconnect in between.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] demlasjr:
Hello everyone!

I have a friend with an Sony Xperia P and it have apps and files on it. He wants to factory reset it but it's impossible, since after the phone restart the "original" files are back in its place. It's like everything it's write-protected.

The weird thing is that I can manually remove the apps, everything it's working just fine, but after reboot, boom....the files are back.

We've tried to flash the ROM but the Fashboot stucks on "INFO - Reading device information". Also through adb works, but not in fastmode (it's just staying in connecting mode or something like that, without connecting and responding).

Any idea ? Should I try do it without battery (non-removable battery)?

Thanks.

I saw this on T-Mobile's site a couple of days ago, but I'm on the fence about updating. I updated my Note 4 (910T) when MM came out and I'm used to it, but they removed the ability to alter the quick settings toggles (Samsung disabled system ui tuner) so you can no longer add hidden features like mobile data or VPN. While I can grudgingly live without it on the Note 4, I find it too handy to do without on the 817T. Unless someone finds a way around this, I'm staying put for the time being.

Since I had installed TWRP and rooted, I could not update to MM. I re-flashed back to stock 5.1.1 with Odin and then was able to update to MM.

After the update I flashed the T815 TWRP with Odin (make sure you don't auto-reboot and boot into TWRP right after flashing to make it stick). Then I flashed the SuperSu 2.76 ZIP from TWRP.

So I now have a stock rooted 6.0.1 ROM. Everything seems to work fine for me. I can use LTE and even enable the mobile hotspot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] EatingSteak:
I'm trying to unlock the Hotspot on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Cricket. I can't find any guides; there are several for the Sprint variant, but I can't find any for Cricket and the method doesn't seem the same.

I bought my phone retail for sticker price - I own it and no goofy contracts. Cricket wants to charge me $10/month for a hotspot, which is ridiculous - I'm already paying for my plan and paying for my data; I'm not going to pay for it again. I had tethering on my HTC One under the same Cricket plan, also without paying extra.

Haven't rooted yet, but I will do so if it's required to get Hotspot working - but I can't find any guides, even with a rooted phone.
