I just bought this tablet for ebook reading purposes but it came with kitkat which prevents me from editing files on my sd card. I was looking around the internet but I couldnt find any roms or upgrades for my device. Can somebody help me out if it is okay to use the roms for mediapad t1 7.0 3g?

Or any roms will do for as long as I can directly edit files on my sd card without going through editing and saving on internal memory then copying to sd card. Thank you.

I hope the Pixel and Pixel XL don't use PWM flickering AMOLED screens as it causes me headaches and near seizzures. I know the Nexus 6 and 6P did ::(

We will see when more photos and videos come out.

I made a similar thread about the Note7 using PWM here.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
I thought I saw the PWM scrolling bars when watching one of the videos. Do not count on it. I don't think any smartphones with AMOLED displays use flicker-free over PWM.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jtl999:
Well my friend has a Galaxy S i9000 (the original from 2010 :P), another has the S2. Both are flicker free.

My mother has a Galaxy S4 she's planning to replace soon so I had the idea of trying to remove the PWM code in the kernel. I was doing research of the kernel source and might have seen the AMOLED PWM code in there :D

Maybe. As I always say regarding other things related to reverse engineering/hacking "Just because it hasn't been done doesn't mean it's impossible."

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] kabreu:
I have been rooting my phone ever since my first Android years ago (HTC Incredible). I'm not too wild with the customizations, basically root it to make minor GUI changes, overclock at times just out of mere curiosity and boredom for when I want to have fun, and to remove the bloatware. So basically, I never really have used a custom ROM. Whether it was the Note 4 with the one click root app, or using a program on my PC with the original rom for the LG G2.

My question though... Is there much to worry about when I trigger Knox in my S7 edge and lose warranty? I pay for Asurion insurance* (yes, it's overpriced but it's a luxury I like to retain) but would there be a scenario where having a valid warranty would be beneficial? I remember back years ago there were times when my phone broke and I got a brand new phone through warranty* (avoiding insurance - which means not having to pay a deductible).

Is what I use root for worth the loss of warranty?

Thank you for your time guys!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] BCSC:
One aspect to keep in mind is Samsung pay. From what I understand, Samsung Pay will not work once Knox is tripped. This mat not matter to you if you dont care to use Pay, but it may affect resale of the phone if someone interested did want Pay. Thats a negative I can think of. Just my 2 cents.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nitrous²:
We can't tell. That's your own decision. We don't know your financial situation, we don't know how you would benefit from a rooted device. So; If you can afford to repair the device with your own money + if you'd benefit a lot from rooting it, go ahead. If both scenarios are not applicable to you, the don't.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] error666:
I've always rooted my phones except this last one because there was no root. But after using it as is for 1/2 year I'm actually ok with it. Samsung pay and a couple of other things that never worked on rooted devices work ok. I already used the warranty once so that's good. And my main reason for rooting it was adaway and titanium backup. But now there are a few apps that block ads in the browser and don't require root. And they work ok for the most part. Lack of backup is not great but I learned to work around this using samsung and google. And only needed to use it once when changed the phone. Otherwise I am enjoying it. It updates itself while not loosing any data, everything works, warranty is there and I don't get too many ads. I hardly have 1-2 apps that give me ads and that I use maybe once a month so that doesn't bother me anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] alehawk:
Its a personal choice... I dont use custom roms mainly because they dont work, the only one I used was a a stock rom for the note 4 that was deodexed, the rest of the roms alwas have some sort of problem, cam doesnt work, led doesnt work, battery drain, crashes, etc, etc, etc, just read every rom thread, no one is fully working.

I rooted the phone to make the battery last longer. Some days ago I unrooted the phone to play pokemon go with my kid and android poped up an alert notifying that my device was slow... and ofcourse iit was slow because of the stupid apps that im not using that are running in background alone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] foxmeister:
Going back to the early years of Android, there were many compelling reasons to root your device.

As time has passed, the "stock" experience has got better and better, and the number of reasons to root has definitely got smaller.

Personally, I've not rooted any of my devices since the Note 3, and I've had many since then.

I know some people like to root as soon as a device leaves the box, but my advice these days is to use a device stock for a period before making any decisions on rooting.

Dave

Anyone know how to disassemble or replace the screen/LCD of the Blu Studio X Plus phone?
[Blu Studio 5] Flex_or_fleece:
Best bet is going to use Craigslist or swappa.

Swappa have a big db of affiliated places that will handle it. First best bet is CL. put an ad on it and browse through the ads there advertising older model Iphones like 5 up and droids around Galaxy

S5

call all of them tell them you are feelding estimates prices from all the others for what you need. Make them be clear many obfuscate m Keave or gloss over the cost of the screen giving labor only ""Estimate" best just tell them estimate then after a dollar amount ask them if this "X dollars amount quote" includes all material labor and if there are any unforseen fees that may arise if so why how much etc...

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] pauleandro:
Hi there,

Looking at Google Pixels page one can see that there is two versions of the product: NA and RoW.

Question is: is there any chance of buying a RoW version in US? Has anyone ever managed to buy the past Nexus International Versions in US before?

Thanks all and regards
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Took me a few seconds to figure out what RoW means. I'd like to know this too.

In regards to the N6p I tried to buy an Intl version from the US but it wasn't available.

Had to be bought from Intl market like EU or the Middle East..
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Abra_Cadabra:
Is there any difference in the UAE? Both versions support LTE Band 3 and UMTS Band 1. Should work fine in the UAE.

I'm using US 6P which also supports LTE B3 and have not had any issues at all.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] rasheedshady:
To my understanding of supported LTE, UMTS, and GSM frequencies both Pixel Variants will work in UAE but Carrier Aggregation will probably not work. Not sure if the operators in the UAE support CA (yet) but if/ when they do this will probably something that wouldn't work on the NA variant. The only combination supported by the device for UAE bands is B7+B7, which may or may not work.

Whether this is a deal breaker or not is up to you to decide.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] scandalousk:
Won't work. There are two different version. One that supports international LTE bands and one that supports the bands in the USA. Just like the Nexus 6, 5x and 6P. If you buy the Pixel in the USA you'd only be able to use 3g speeds in Europe, band 7 (1800mhz) being the only exception.

In short, should you buy the pixel phone in the USA you won't have 4G in Europe and other countries that use the same bands.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] pauleandro:
Same with me. Worse than that, Google does not sell then in my country. So, unfortunately, I may have to buy outside US as well again.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mazroui:
Now that the pixel is out i can't seem to find anything online (N6p H1512 64/128gb) that comes with a warranty, if you do come across one that includes warranty please dm me.

I found out the warranty over here is handled by the retailers and is not international (covered by Google/Huawei).
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] pauleandro:
Of course, no problem. I'll let you know if I find anything.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] spmcd:
I am also looking at this and cannot understand the CA limitations on the US device. Unless I am mistaken the Snapdragon X12 modem supports all combinations of supported frequencies. Yet the phones have different combinations for some reason. I do not know if Google is limiting this via software. Any thoughts?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sirda:
How comes? Both NA & RoW Pixel's tech specs show bands 3 and 20 (beside the band 7 & others) which are the most common bands used in Europe for LTE, so I can't see why the NA model won't have 4G in Europe... Can you please explain?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] enterthephil:
Lots of overlap

There appears to be quite significant overlap, with the NA version supporting all or almost all LTE bands in most European countries and in many non-European countries as well (including all LTE bands in UAE):

NA version: frequencycheck.com/compatibility/GPQkJ/google-pixel-xl-phone-nexus-m1-td-lte-na-128gb-htc-marlin/countries

RoW version: frequencycheck.com/compatibility/vWPw8/google-pixel-xl-phone-nexus-m1-global-td-lte-128gb-htc-marlin/countries

---------- Post added at 07:15 ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 ----------

Hmm... just noticed that a few European countries that FrequencyCheck lists the NA version as having only partial LTE coverage for are because the site considers the NA version not to support band 8. But, according to Google's own spec page (madeby.google.com/phone/specs/ > Telephony), both the NA and RoW versions support B8. No idea if FrequencyCheck is a generally reliable source of info, as I just discovered the site a few minutes ago. I hope Google's listing for their own phone is correct, but the fact that B8 isn't included anywhere in the LTE 2xCA and 3xCA breakdowns for the NA version as it is for the RoW version makes me wonder...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] user23785:
Yes, the main European LTE bands are 3, 7 and 20, so it doesn't matter which version you have as both support all these bands. scandalousk is wrong.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] scandalousk:
Partially, it'll support 4G. But it won't support LTE-Advanced (4g+)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] user23785:
It'll support LTE, but won't support LTE Carrier Aggregation. LTE-Advanced is more than just Carrier Aggregation.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] amirso007:
I just bought the S7, and I noticed that the front camera is just bad.

It looks like the focus is off. it's so bad that it's even worst than my old S4 front camera.

here are examples:

imgur.com/a/bUcq2

the S4 are the left ones, and S7 are the right ones. at the S4, you can see each individual hair (on the eyebrows or the beard), but at the S7 everything is just blurry.

is my device defective, or it's just how the front camera functions on the S7?

I have seen many people reporting this issue, so I really wonder if returning the device and getting another one will do any good.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] NeoDJW:
''so I really wonder if returning the device and getting another one will do any good.''

It won't
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] amirso007:
well...

I just don't get how this issue doesn't get more buzz. I mean, other people don't notice, or just don't care enough of selfies?

Also, I'm pretty sure there won't be any software fix for that - 6 months have passed since release.

So basically I bought a costly flagship phone with only rear camera- cuz the front camera is simply embarrassing, I cant use it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MrDusan:
There is a thread here on xda about this problem, but no one came up with a solution. Some said that models made in Vietnam (such as mine) have a bigger focus issues than those made in Korea. The problem is that focus on the front cam is set to infinity, so it doesn't focus close objects correctly. Some people went to samsung and got 3-4 new devices and all were having the same issue.

I think that it COULD be fixed with an software update, because I found people talking about it on various forums. But until that happens (I hope), try holding it 30-40cm away and it will be decent. Turn off beauty face aswell.

Hello all, I have not been on this site in a long time and was wondering if i can be pointed in the right direction to upgrade to 6.0? Currently, I am on OJ7 5.1 with hacker kernel, TWRP.

Thanks for the quick reply, finally just finished downloading all files needed, haha. Using my 4G hotspot. so just flash the PG3 tar and I'll be golden? No need to flash a separate kernel, or anything like that besides the recovery and Super Su?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
It all depends on what you want. Flash the TAR in Odin, then BEFORE you root or install TWRP, take the update to PI3 if you like. (Some people have reported faster battery drain and it is only a minor security update, so decide what you want.) You'll be 6.01 either way.

Flash the CG-auto root file and then TWRP and you will have Root and Recovery.

Renegade is the only current ROM (even that is no longer supported) and SkyHigh the only kernel, but neither are really necessary. Look in the Android Development section and make up your own mind.
