[Moto G 2015 General] 903tex:
Guys look this is the main issues that you are not seeing! Now lenovo is a big company with other parts of the world.....expect usa! Chinese companies care about market share(release as many devices out their and hope people buy) do you realize that since lenovo buying there are so many more moto devices out in the world? Zte, huawei, lenovo, don't Care about updates, they care about market share! I wouldn't be surprise if the moto g4 lines of phones get 7.0 and be done after that! So what does that tell us? Don't buy Motorola phone unless you truly like the phone and don't care about updates. You want updates buy a Google phone. This shouldn't be a surprise to anybody that they decide to go this route. Does it suck? Yes, should you be mad? Only if you were naive to EXPECT a update from motorola! Want to help really change their policies and practice? DONT BUY CHINESE COMPANIES DEVICES! HURT THEIR MONEY THAT WILL WAKE THEM UP!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emc_2:
I successfully rooted by following Tripper511's guide.. and now I have a few questions on what my next steps should be.

After rooting; I factory reset the device though the settings menu and haven't touched it since. I've heard about doing a TWRP backup in case something screws up in the future. Which boxes/categories should I check off in TWRP. Should I backup before or after removing the the pre-installed bloatware?

I've read in the past that some phones have gotten funky when removing carrier bloat, has anyone heard of that happening with this model? If not; are there any Verizon apps that I should leave installed as a Canadian user and on a different network?

After factory resetting; would all leftover files from KingoRoot be removed or are there leftovers. If there are leftovers; what would be the best way to delete them and would flashing a custom ROM erase them?

I'm interested in trying some ROM's since I don't like the lag from touchwiz. Is there any way to try MM ROM's with no data connection (I read that a data connection is needed to unlock the 6.0 bootloader)?

Failing that, I'm looking at Jasmine ROM since it's close to stock but optimized for speed. Was there ever a BPA1 version or did development stop at BOK3 for 5.1.1.?

Hi there....

I would like to know if there is any way to disable ALL vibration when a notification arrives (App or Xposed module or something :D) without mute the device.

I know there is the "Do not disturb" option, but the problem its that i want a sound when a notification arrives, i just want to disable the vibrations (It´s so strong) just like in old Android versions.

[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamsSon:
I have had the Desire 820 (a51_tuhl) for a while now and i am stuck with stuck KK (stock) as there are no compatible recoveries, however i am able to get S-Off (at a costly price) from a mobile phone repairer.

My question is, if I take the security off would that ensure that i can a flash a custom recovery which is supposed to work already or is my varient simply incompatible due to hardware?

P.S. Im unlocked and have all correct drivers and flashing does not fail, rather the recoveries that are availbe dont boot.
[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomal:
S-Off is not worth unless you are a developer. Unlocking bootloader (htcdev.com) serves the purpose in most cases.
[Desire 820 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamsSon:
Thanks tomal, it seems im left with a phone thats in limbo. Not enough people with a51_tuhl therefore i guess none of of the devs really looked into it.

I unlocked the bootloader, and thats where my journey ends. I actually bricked one 820 already but thank God warrenty replaced it without extra cost

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] swtaltima:
I was just going to replace my radar detector and figured Id see if they make anything for the tilt? Any input is greatly appreciated. I know there is some stuff that tells you where speed cameras are but just wondering if there is something that offers a bit more.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] FloatingFatMan:
No amount of software can take the place of missing hardware. How can the tilt possibly detect speed cameras without the needed detection hardware?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sherpa:
He's probably talking about the "speed camera database" POI for his GPS program. As far as detecting radars is concerned, unless someone comes up with a bluetooth compatible hardware and a software to go with it, detecting radars using the Tilt is impossible.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] FloatingFatMan:
He already mentioned he knew about that, and wanted more.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Eurybia:
It depends on the GPS software you want to use on your Tilt. A good source for overlays for different brands of GPS software and hardware would be http://www.scdb.info/en/ - if you are looking for a European source.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] prodaytrader:
Nothing and I mean absolutly nothing beats a Valentine 1 Radar detector. http://www.valentine1.com/ Unfortunatly you are going to have to skip your car payment for the month because this puppy clocks in at around 400 us dollars. You can only get it online as best I can tell. At least, I have never seen them in a store anyway. My wife gave me this for Christmas last year upon my request and it is hands down the best radar detector money can buy. I seriously mean that. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money. Once you buy one, your a customer for life. Any time they release a newer model you can send them your old one and for a small price they will upgrade you into a new one. I drive an Audi A6 twin turbo and routinely drive in excess of 100 in zones posted at 50 tops. I have never once got a ticket with this unit. I can spot the popos before they even get out of bed in the morning. If they take a **** I know where. I'm serious about this unit. It is the king **** of radar detectors. The very coolest feature is the multi boogie monitor. It will track multiple signals in case you happen to find yourself in a spot where the cop is hiding in a radar rich zone. This unit can tell the difference between alarm signals, automatic door opening sensors and just about everything else. It has multiple operating modes that will filter out various levels of noise but keep in mind the more you filter out the higher risk you run in filtering a boogie signal.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dpmisk:
And he is not a Valentine Sales Associate because everything he mentioned n more is true.. ITS A BEAST!!

As far as for the tilt, don't even try.. I guess it's not impossible because there's always a way for everything, but what more do you want a phone to do? lol :cool:

When I double tap the home button to quick start the camera app I get this annoying message "camera has been opened via quick launch" which in order to continue I need to confirm by pressing OK.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] lucky_strike33:
Since the Pixel in Google store is all sold out and will be delayed by 6 to 8 weeks, is anyone going to pick up the vzw one? I am tempted but its the bootloader that is unlockable swaying my way from vzw. Looks like I will be waiting 6 to 8 weeks......
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mdmogren:
I would have bought 2 from VZW, instead had to get them from Google because of the locked bootloader bs.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] lucky_strike33:
So they are saying it's impossible to break the bootloader?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] mdmogren:
It's way too soon to call it "impossible" -- but we definitely can't count on it, and I'm not risking my $800 phone being bootloader locked.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] R2DeeTard:
Work will pay for my phone only if I order through Verizon, so unless I can sell it NIB (which I don't know if I am allowed) and turn around and buy the Play Store version, I am pretty much stuck with a locked down phone. Here's hoping that an unofficial unlock happens at some point.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] gjrscribe:
I was kind of in the same boat. On vzw. Was able to get $200 credit total for my M8 plus a free VR daydream. I'm a little griped I can't just buy the device protection from google but it only seems to be apply to phones purchased direct through their store. I'm ok with the lock bl because I'm not going to be running ROM variants on this particular. Root will be fine enough. So it was easier for me to make the choice to get it through vzw than google. If I don't like the phone, I can return and get another phone.

I'm still torn. I preordered on VZW then heard that Verizon was going to control updates so I cancelled and ordered on Google.

I don't need an unlocked bootloader, but do like the latest versions as soon as they're available.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] shahud:
Just saw this article:

http://phandroid.com/2016/10/12/verizon-pixel-updates-simultaneously/

Basically, if you don't care about the locked bootloader, then you don't need to buy the phone from Google. You shouldn't have to worry about the updates and there are only 3 bloatware apps which take you less than 30 seconds to uninstall.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] jackdubl:
Unless Verizon is the only place you can get it for credit reasons, I don't know why you'd buy it from them.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] alluringreality:
Best Buy is currently offering between $100-$225 in gift cards. Verizon is offering reduced monthly payments for phone trades that amount to $200-$300. Either way can effectively reduce the total cost.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TCPDump:
I have no desire to unlock my bootloader - as such, why wouldn't I get one from them?

Also, it should be noted that any of you purchasing he pixel from Best Buy will have the VZW locked bootloader:

"It’s worth noting that the telecommunications titan will additionally oversee updates for Pixel devices sold at Best Buy, as such units also come with Verizon-locked bootloaders."

Why do you browse XDA if you don't root or install custom roms?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TurboBot247:
That's like asking why he browses XDA if he doesn't have a oneplus 3. That was a rude comment. At least half of the populous on XDA are made up of normal users, so don't go and shame someone that doesn't want to root and install ROMs on their phone like a prick, as if you are better than those who choose not to. I have a Droid Turbo 2 and a Nexus 6P, that has Nova Launcher Prime on it. That is currently satisfying me, since the software is amazing on anything stock Android/close to stock. Again, rude comment on your part.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Rado_vr6:
Who dropped this turd in the punch bowl? Most of us have probably rooted more devices than you've owned good sir. Eventually we get tired and want to try something different. We don't always want to go through the motions on every device we purchase.

Your question was fairly flagrant. Why do you root phone if you aren't a software developer? Before you answer, I do and I am, iOS and Android. See how douchie that sounds?

We all have different needs and just because that usey doesn't root, doesn't mean he has any less of a reason to be here.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] arogon:
Well it was a serious question, only reason I go to XDA is to see about rooting/modding. This is my first time logging coming to the website in about 3 months since I'm taking a break from messing with my phone.

Idk to me coming to XDA and talking about how much you love stock and don't want to root or mod your device is like coming to a car enthusiast website and talking about how nice your stock car is and how you'll never change a thing about it.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] DMCShep:
Which people do. It's called "concours" in classic car circles.

I will say though that your question seemed innocent enough. I didn't find it rude at all honestly, it was a legitimate question that (at least in my mind) deserved a better answer than "blasphemy". Let me try:

XDA isn't just about root or custom ROM's, it's also about getting the most out of your phone. Some phones can't root at all, I was lucky to finally have root on my fourth Android phone, Galaxy S7, because it was finally found how to do it. XDA did still provide a forum for things like belt holsters, cases, apps, hell it's given me many recommendations that I still swear by. Most guys think of it as "the root forum", but it's more than that.

Hope that gives you a better answer! Written on my newly delivered VZW Pixel.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TCPDump:
Because there's a lot of good discussion, good apps, etc. I've done plenty of rooting, hacking and custom Roms, with the Pixel I no longer have the need.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] arogon:
You know, I thought I would be the bigger man, obviously XDA isn't what i thought it was. When I first joined it was all about rooting and hacking, never being satisfied with a stock device. When I got the few posts arguing with my view of XDA I thought maybe I was wrong, maybe XDA evolved. I spent the past few days with my Google Pixel XL. Holy ****. I never thought this would happen. I actually see why somebody would choose an iPhone over an Android Device. What I thought all pure Android devices had was merely a dream. Turns out that all the features I took for granted came from the custom roms I installed. The ability to click on the clock an be taken to the clock app. Custom OS. Ability to click on the date and be take to the Calendar App. Custom OS. Double tap on status bar to sleep? Custom OS. SoT of 6 hours on M8? Custom OS. I legitimately plan on returning my Pixel XL to Verizon in the next week unless there is a way to unlock the bootloader. I thought I could live with stock Android but obviously what I thought was stock was simply features of my custom OS'es. I can't imagine living with a stock Android ever again, I would rather buy an Apple device. There are a lot of posters claiming to love stock Android. I challenge you to experiment with a custom OS and see how you feel.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TCPDump:
I've had plenty of custom ROMs. The benefits of all those hacks come at the cost of stability, bugs and battery life. I do love everything about the Pixel and can only think of one thing I'd do with root. Aside from that, nothing different.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] arogon:
Yeah I sipped on that cool-aid too, thats why I bought the Verizon Pixel XL thinking I'd never need to install a custom OS. TBH i run nightly CM roms and I never had stability issues. It's just not worth losing all the features they give me. I had issues maybe once a year. Maybe I got lucky because very few people seem to have the same battery life/stability as me, but I'm really going back to my M8 because besides the camera the Pixel XL just isn't worth it to me atm.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TCPDump:
The nice part about the Pixel is you can have it both ways. Buy the play store version if you want a dev phone, VZW if you don't care. Same price to most people easier way.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] arogon:
Yeah I get that, but I ended up listening to the people responding to my previous posts talking about how good stock android is when it really isn't that good. I'll probably end up buying a Pixel from the google store and installing CM14 on it. In the meantime I still have to recoup from my purchase of the Verison Pixel XL that I can't get rid of. My gf thinks its too big, so does my father. I guess I'll let is sit here until Play Store orders open up.
