[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Galactus:
Hmmmmm I slightly disagree. I can most certainly say that for Exynos S7 Edge's, the firmware plays a big part simply because Samsung messed something up. The last time I used a phone that went from great battery life, to middle of the road battery life was when my OPO got upgraded from Kit Kat to Lollipop. Battery life was never as good as it once was.

I see the same pattern here. Every single firmware I have used after the March update (ACP8) has worse battery life. Same settings, same usage, worse battery life. Normally I would follow the stance you suggest, but honestly something with April updates onward take a toll on battery life.

As for the OP's question, I'd personally suggest flashing the March firmware or take a look at the massive Android System drain thread. You'll find a lot of info in there about how different firmware's behave.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] JCDinPGH:
I successfully installed the official 5.11 ROM for my SM-T900 (wifi model) via Kies 3 and rooted it and also was able to get TWRP installed. I've seen several threads on removing KNOX but the option to uninstall does not exist for the KNOX app in the 5.11 ROM. I tried removing using Titanium Backup, but on the next boot, the Touchwiz interface would consistently crash forcing a TWRP restore. Unfortunately the TWRP restore also seemed to be imperfect as Touchwiz would also crash after the restore. I had to reinstall the v5.11 ROM via Kies and re-root and restore apps from Titanium Backup. Right now, it seems stable but from what I have read, KNOX can cause all kinds of issues so if there is a foolproof way to remove it, I'd love to hear it.

Thoughts?

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Ichijoe:
Rooting, might have possibly been one thing. You could have rooted your device with something like Towelroot, and still have, had access to Knox, again. (Once you were in rooted that is.).

But, the moment you flashed TWRP, (Or, indeed any other Recovery), to your Device.... Then it's automatically gone FOREVER!

As you would have tried the so called Knox Flag. So as it is you'll never be able to use Knox again. If you wish to be stuck on an older Stock ROM, then... Just use something like ES File Explorer, and locate the *.apk (Inside either ~/data/apps - ~/system/apps), and just delete it there, like you would any other piece of Bloatware.

[General Topics] wovens:
I would be very happy this xmas if I can find an application like I describe below.

My request is simple, so simple I cannot find it anywhere! I've searched and searched and wasted hours online trying to find it to no avail.

I would like to find a file explorer application with an interface like the Search Today plugin that will search locally in the main memory and sd card but not only web pages; an application like the type-to-search function found in Initiate for Palm devices.

It can be either a plugin or a button-assignable application (even better!).

I want to be able to start typing a word in the Today screen (or anywhere else by pressing a button) and the application will look through EVERYTHING in the phone and show all the instances of that word/phase narrowing it down as I type, and once I find what I am after and click on it, if it is an application it will open it, if it is a file it will open an application by file association, if it is a phone number it will open the phone application, if it is a video file it will play it, and so on.

I'm not after skins or pretty intefaces that flip and turn or anything of the sort, I don't need any of that because I want to use my phone efficiently, because for me it is a tool not a show-off thingy to beat the iPhone. I want an efficient, plain and simple "search and you shall find" kind of application, with a small footprint, preferably.

Cubes are very nice to look at and some people spent heaps of time honing their skills in developing it but at times they bore me, sorry.

Is there anything available that will do what I need? Please?

I sort of knew that it was not going to be easy to find but I am still hopeful that the great brains out there would have come up with something.
[General Topics] philocritus:
I have a wm2k3 rom from the Sierra VOQ which has the myVOQ in it... But I can't dump it... I get some "can't load compressor dll" when dumping it...
[General Topics] wovens:
Thank you but I think even if you managed to dump your ROM or copy the dll it probably would not have worked because I think the phone is a smartphone, i.e., no touch screen, am I right? I believe software made for smartphones cannot be made to work on touchscreen-phones.

But thanks for trying.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itamar01:
Hi,

I received recently a Tab 2 (P5110) tablet and I would like to make the most of it. The latest stock rom is based on Android 4.1 or 4.2 but there are numerous roms that are based on more recent Android versions, namely 5 and 6.

My question is: from your experience, are these newer android releases (5 and 6) well adapted to the dated hardware of the Tab 2, or does performance take a hit when compared to the older 4.x (as is often the case with iPhones or Windows PCs)?

I would appreciate if you could also mention which specific rom(s) were better (or worse) in that respect.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juliopw:
Android 5 and 6 are slower than previous ones on this device. I use CyanogenMod 11 (4.4) and it's great
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iks8:
imo 4.4.4 is the last good android for this hardware, newer version were not design with 1gb of ram in mind.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itamar01:
Thanks!

I would guess that the main advantage of the 4.4 CM 11 is the removal of unnecessary apps.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
There's no mention whether pixel comes with notification light or not but i've got confirmation from google cs that it does and it's placed near the front camera.

I personally love notification light feature.

If anyone has any more details relating to this please share.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Toaplan:
This is from the Specifications section on the Pixel product page on the Google Store: https://store.google.com/product/pixel_phone

But boy it's expensive, what'a happened to google.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SAL8116:
They decided to cash in with the big boys.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Which is fine if the device is equal to the other flagships.....but it is not.

I will be curious to see if google can pull this off...in all honesty for what your getting its at least 300 overpriced.

Illuminati Illumination Confirmed
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Steve Lazarus:
Just curious, because I keep hearing this. How is the Pixel not equivalent to other "flagships" ?

Thus far every quick comparison hands on I've seen from reputable YouTuber's directly compare it's specs to the iPhone 7 +, S7/N7 line.. in those quick comparisons it's either on par or exceeds the other spec wise..

Edit: To add, what features you think detract from being considered a "flagship" device is irrelevant. Just because the iPhone doesn't have an S Pen doesn't make it worth any less to the iPhone crowd, where as Note fans wouldn't consider the iPhone because it's lacking one...
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Its missing certain features from the previous nexus as well what other devices in its class offer

Screen is smalller than note 7 or zenfone 3 deluxe..they should have kept it at 5.7 at least

They ditched the stereo speakers which i dont get given the huge bezels on the thing lol. Axon 7 and iphone have this

Smallish internal storage, where is the 256gb option? Would not expect a google device to have an SD card slot but for the money they want it needs more internal or the slot. Iphone offers 256gb and note, axon, asus have sd slots

No water resistance..dont really care about this but other devices in its class offer it. Note and iphone have this

Only 4gb am...again i dont care but other devices in its class ( and below it) have 6gb. One plus 3 6gb, zenfone 3 6gb etc etc

There is nothing wrong with the device, its actually really nice however if you are going to charge a premium and then some for it you damn sure better have all the bells and whistles....and it does not.

Give me a pixel XL with a 5.7 to 6" screen, stereo speakers and 256gb of storage and id be the first one waving money around to buy it.

I read it was under the top speaker grille. Being that it's HTC, that seems correct.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Don't seem to be doing too well, in the uk the black xl is still showing dispatches by 20th Oct. Not sold out and no queues.

I think HTC and google are sharing the profits 50/50 hence the stupid stupid price. HTC do all the work and google take the profit, I think they have HTC by the short and curlies.

It's a nice phone far far better and more premium then nexus 6p in every dept, which lets be honest felt cheap and really flimsy. Screen was flat and material was very thin.

Ideally pixel xl should have been priced around £600 - £650 for the 128gb version when comparing to last years model. £500 is far too cheap for this phone when comparing to other top end phones.

If this phone fails then it's purely down to pricing.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Hoodeddeathman:
Why does every thread descend into: "It's too expensive and the bezels are huge"? This is a thread about a notification LED, go whinge in the whingers thread!

Anyway... I would expect it to be hidden behind the glass at the top like the N6P, they took a similar approach of not mentioning the damn thing apart from the little sub note on the Google store page. I definitely missed it on the N6 and was glad to have it back on the 6P. I hope it isn't a grille effort as HTC had a habit in the past of only putting RAG LEDs behind the grille thus eliminating 16.6something million colours.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Steve Lazarus:
My apologies, I hate these back and forth debates that seem to continually infiltrate pertinent threads....But the "flagship" issue needs to be put to rest....

Everything you've just listed are features you'd like to have seen on the next device. Well, obviously they're not there. However, because they're not there like you wanted them to be doesn't in any way detract from what is... What is there ranks this device among all other flagship devices like them or not. I would love to have seen Google put out a Pixel that is a combination of every other phones key features rolled into one nice $500 package. Unfortunately, that isn't what happened due to monetary and technical constraints phone manufacturers have to deal with. I'm not knocking your thought process, because I would love to have seen a 5.7" display and front firing speakers, both of which are a disappointing omission to me. But the specs it does have put it into the "flagship" category.

Again, my apologies...

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Evo_Shift:
Then you'd have to place the phone face down. I would hate that. It would have been cool to use the bottom front bezel for a lightbar like on the other pixel devices that could be used for notifications.

[YotaPhone] neo920768:
Hi and sorry if i do not found such a topic in some discussion. I tried to search but didn´t found it yet.

My problem is that i have a new Yotaphone 2 YD201 with latest update (as far as i know) 1.1.124 , which i got OTA.

And i´m not sure if this was happening also before the update, cause i didn´t tested it before with Android 4.4.

The problem:

If i set up a call or got a call and talking some times over my bluetooth headset, the colleagues asked me that i sound like under water.

Sometimes it happens within minutes, sometimes longer...

If i switch to the mobile phones microphone everything is working correct instantly.

I tried several bluetooth headsets, which are working well on other android phones.

Then I tried the soundrecorder SW which is on the device and found out, that the bluetooth sound isn´t recorded well, means it´s very dull and quiet.

If i put my voice directly to the mobiles microphone (although bluetooth headset is still connected), the recorded sound is louder but still far away from a good quality.

But it doesn´t change, if the bluetooth headset is switched off and the soundrecorder is used directly without bluetooth headset. Still very dull and quiet.

Can anybody please test this with his Yotaphone 2 YD201 to check if only my phone has a problem, although i do not believe that it is a HW topic.

Is there some known issue or bug regarding this topic and has somebody any idea how to overcome this problem, cause without using a bluetooth headset, the phone is unaúsable at all for me.

Thx and nice evening

Cheers

Same Yotaphone2 Bluetooth Problem

Hi Neo,

I have the same probem with my Yotaphone 2.

I bought the new Bose QC30 Bluetooth, the sound is very bad for my contact.

I found something working : plug the headset Jack, and then test to phone by bluetooth.

if the jack is plugged when the bluetooth mode is selected (before or during the call), the microphone from the bluetooth is good.

if you unplug the jack during the call in bluetooth mode, the microphone is operating yet properly.

Why ???
[YotaPhone] luke99ofone:

hi everyone,

is there any update on this issue? sadly cant use my headset anymore. :(

thx, luke
[YotaPhone] GoJo ^^:
Isn't there a solution just above?!
[YotaPhone] luke99ofone:
this does not work in my case ... but i installed the latest RU-rom with the radio folder from CN-rom and this seems to work for my phone. :)

thx for the good ideas ... Luke
[YotaPhone] neo920768:
Hi, thx for all the feedback- I also tried this CN Radio + the topic with the audio jack but none of them are real workarounds.

It seems that the CN -Radio brings some other issues for me, like unstable LTE connections + problems with SRVCC (switch from LTE to 3G/2G) in some handover situations. These problems were not available before.

So i installed the RU stock again and sorry to say it- sell the phone - It´s a nice phone and for people who do not need the bluetooth headset nearly the complete day- its a very good phone, with a great idea.

By the way- the support from Yota was quite good and they tried to help me as well as they confirmed the bug is known by the developer, but this help that much at the moment- so i´m back with my P9000 now...

Have fun with the mobile and appreciate the ideas of Yota devices...

Cheers

I seem to also have this issue on the EU version. Is it a matter of the antenna? I've ordered one of those cheap 3.5mm jack antennas to try out.

The odd thing is that bluetooth audio is fine with both speakers and a headset, from a variety of distances. I don't understand why the microphone is affected.

I would be interested in how you did that, my gf is getting upset as she can't use her bluetooth handfree set while driving... she has the yd206 model, build EU 1.1.124, i already thought of installing RU buil then ota update to 1.1.134, but i wonder if this would change anything.

along with many other people a link to an installation zip of the mod.

Would eliminate this issue for people in the future.

Gives more options for install methods.

My research has shown that installing anything in twrp on 7.0 galaxy so edge leads to magisk downloads not installing.
