[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markzip:
"Default SMS" setting missing from "Wireless & Networks > More"

Nexus 5X , Nougat 7.0, stock. Unrooted.

I use Hangouts for SMS (I like being able to see conversations on all my devices)

It used to be that you could set the Default SMS by going:

Settings > Wireless & Networks > More > Default SMS App

Apparently Nougat has removed that setting.

I have searched pretty carefully through the various settings screens and I cannot find the new location for this setting.

Thoughts?

It has moved I believe.

FWIW: Installing Allo does *not* change default SMS.

I bought LG G5 F700S but WCDMA and LTE not working. My operator(Cellcard) uses WCDMA 2100, and LTE 1800 frequency and my usim card works well in another phone, now I can only use GSM and data GPRS. Have you heard this problem? Please help! Thanks in advance.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferkator:
Hello! I have a LG G3 since a couple of years ago. I was only able to use its 5ghz wifi since May, because previously I had no compatible router. It was working fine, getting between 150 and 180 mbps in speedtests, with a wifi speed link of 433 mbps. Today I switched from my ISP to another. They provided me a new router, called Livebox Next. It has more or less the same wifi specs as the last one I had, it can handle up to 1300mbps in the 5ghz band with wifi AC. However, my phone is not getting anything near that. My wifi link speed is stuck at 86 mbps. I tried changing the channel of the wifi, but it has no effect. In the speedtests, I have like 10mbps of download speed and about 50-60 mbps of upload speed (weird, isn't it?).

I need your help guys. Connecting in the 2.4 ghz band I get between 30-40 mbps. The technician that installed me the router made his own speedtests in his laptop and he got 300mbps in the speedtest in the 5ghz band so I guess its not the routers fault, something is not right but I don't know what.

Regards.

Call metro with imei

With metro pcs you have to call them and give them the imei number, that's the only way it will work,no matter if it's a metro phone or unlock phone you ever got to take it to the store so they can activate it or call them and give them the imei.if you put the sim in with out doing one of the 2 nothing will happen..but yes the Verizon s6 edge plus do work on Metro,using metro on one now..all Verizon phones or tablets come unlock and will work on any network...

Hi Guys! ;)

This is not a "How to Flash Stock Rom Tutorial"

I made this thread because these ROMs are not easily available and people have to install a lot of OTA updates to get to them.

Keeping it short, this is a thread for latest stock ROMs for Lenovo K4 Note/Vibe X3 Lite (both Lollipop and Marshmallow) which is flashable via SP Flash Tool.

The last Lollipop Stock Rom is S152 and the Latest Marshmallow stock rom is S232 (supports VOLTE).

Previously, we have to flash old lollipop rom and then update it around 5 times via OTAs to get to the last lollipop version i.e S152 and then and only then we could update it to Marshmallow via an OTA and even after updating to MM we still needed to install around 5 OTA updates to get to the latest version of the ROM i.e currently S230 (as on 12 Dec 2016).

For ROOTING:

* Use Kingroot APK for Lollipop

* Use TWRP method by flashing SuperSu zip for Marshmallow (any version of MM)

"BOOTLOADER CAN BE EASILY UNLOCKED IN BOTH THE ROMS (same method)"

LINKS: THESE ARE DIRECTLY FLASHABLE via SP FLASH TOOL

[Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Guides, News, & Discussion] Trushant:
I had same issue, tried everything. Flashing via bootloader didn't work.

Flashing only stock recovery via SP tools sent my phone to boot loop. Had to flash whole rom again to get stock recovery.

Here is what I did.

Download S218 rom, flash all except cache & user data (This will preserve your data & apps, but root will be removed)

Download S219 from here, flash manually via stock recovery.

Update to S230 via OTA.

Root again with same procedure for MM.

Hi guys,

I lost nvram, lost the IMEI.

Got a nvram from internet, Works, but no VoLTE. I tried to change the IMEI using maui meta. It shows errors as nvram database is not for S232.

Can someone give me their nvram from S232(which has VoLTE) ? Don't worry, I'll change it to my IMEI number/ serial to the values in the box. I need my IMEI back.

A best buy sales rep supposedly got his hands on an XL and was doing "test vs the Nexus 6P, camera is as expected extremely impressive but I can also relate to those who're worried if google shot itself on the foot by place only one speaker at the bottom, much to my surprise it sounds just as loud as the 6P and with supposedly less distortion ( from other youtubers can't really tell other than the loudness) EIS is extremely impressive as well especially when creating videos

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jj14:
Just because the earlier root methods may not work doesn't mean that new root methods won't be found. Developers on this site have done what was deemed un-doable. Think back to systemless root for Marshmallow, and the unlockable bootloaders for non-nexus devices etc. I would be surprised if there is no root option for this within the next few months.

From your links "While this doesn't mean that rooting is completely dead, it does mean that the ways we've been using to root Marshmallow handsets will no longer work on Google's Pixel smartphones. "

[MENTION=4465234]benkxda[/MENTION] took the steps to create a (well-structured) thread, and (I assume) will maintain it with information as it is made available and I think that's a great idea. You are (IMO) seriously underestimating the devs on this forum - no offense
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] benkxda:
Thanks. As you can see from my other device index threads (DITs) I usually maintain them a long time and also, it's not only collecting threads in my case, it's really maintaining those DITs. Furthermore, to assure I get almost every new thread, I use a search software (I just called it TPC). From my point of view, I take maintaining a DIT quite serious.

I don't know what the intention of [MENTION=5062308]BaconSeeds[/MENTION]'s post was, however I don't take it personally or whatever, I honestly even don't care. At the time he was posting, no one but Google really knew if the Pixel will be rootable or not. And because of some existing speculations, well... as said, speculations.

Speculations away now, we got really good news obviously: Google Store Pixel Phones Can be Rooted and Come With an Unlockable Bootloader

I found it incredibly difficult to flash the system images using any publicly available fastboot. It seems all of the current releases of fastboot don't very well support the "slots" for system, boot, vendor, etc (used for background system updates).

I had to compile fastboot from source for AOSP master to get this working. If anyone else wants to flash system images, you can grab my compile from here:

https://xenserver.underpants-gnomes.biz/~romracer/fastboot_adb_pixel.zip

I also included adb from master, but I had no problems with the regular one. If you just want fastboot, you also need the libwinpthread DLL (this is from AOSP).

Feel free to add this to the index. Hope this helps someone besides just me.

No offense but you are not keeping it updated. New official pixel images at Google's same Nexus developer factory image site and new kernel. You should keep it updated daily or have someone else maintain it for you.
