[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] tcbj:
I bought a VZW Pixel cause my Nexus bit the dust. My concerns were nil for several reasons:

1. The phone is just a week old. The dev community is still revving up.

2. I've only had one device, I think it was the HTC Rezound, that didn't get unlocked. Someone will unlock the bootloader. (And seems they already have! Trust in the devs)

3. My Nexus 6 was running stock nougat before it went swimming. Very happy with it.

4. I bought the Pixel 32 GB. Downloaded my pics from VZ cloud, uploaded to Google. Cleaned up. No storage issues. My Nexus 6 had all the pics, Roms and a couple of hundred apps, an I never got a storage warning. No problem.

5. By the time I get bored and want to root, the development for this device will be matured and there will be a path to unlocked bootloader, twrp, and custom Roms, I'm sure of it.

6. A stock Android, windows or a flip phone is better than any iCrap that is currently dumbing down the minds of the idiots that camp outside of fruit stands every year.

7. This is an awesome phone. I'm gonna let the smart guys here do what they do. They write the Bible here. They are appreciated. Meanwhile, I will just enjoy stock nougat.

8. It doesn't catch fire.

Devices I have rooted with XDA:

Galaxy Fascinate

RAZR M

Rezound

Galaxy Nexus (favorite)

Galaxy Note 3

Galaxy S5

Nexus 6 (favorite)

I bought a Verizon Pixel, I unlocked my bootloader and flashed Google's firmware/bootloader/modem instead of Verizons. I'm using straighttalk AT&T and getting 50mb/10mb speeds on it on the 10GB data plan for $55
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] tfly212:
I went straight to Verizon... I can't root and use work email due to the mobile device management software we use. I also got sick of having to manually update each month or so with my Nexus 6P. I miss adblocking (it has been so long I didn't realize how many ads there were) but that is about it.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Sakete:
Try using something like Netguard or DNS66 for blocking ads. No root required.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
dns66 is a little problematic and I usually turn it off unless I'm surfing or reading something online. It tends to drain battery for me a little more than I like, but turning it off and on is rather simple and quick. Totally agree with the previous poster about the proliferation of sickening ads ruining the mobile web experience. Ad blocking has become a necessity and not a luxury at this point.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Sakete:
Yeah, definitely a necessity, not to mention that it gobbles up my bandwidth and data. Are those f****** advertisers going to reimburse me for the data costs? Nope. So I'll just block them instead.

I never thought I'd like this ZTE feature with the constantly changing lock screen wallpapers, but they actually use some fantastic photos.

Twice I have found the process to properly find and download these wallpapers on my phone so they can be used as home screen wallpapers. Twice I've forgotten how to get there.

Anyone know what section/area this is in? It's not in the standard "themes and wallpapers" section of Settings.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nathasnajperowa:
I have no fingerprints set, use swipe to unlock. In this setup to download pics you like from dynamic lockscreen you have to swipe up gently this small indicator in the bottom on the screen and menu for dynamic lockscreen appears. Tap settings section on the right and go to headquarters of awesome photos :)

[Samsung Gear 2] AgentOrange96:
So, today while I was walking home I felt my watch loose in my jacket sleeve, and when I looked, the part of the bezel that holds the watch strap was broken. As I hadn't hit it on anything or put any strain on it, I'm honestly super confused as to how that happened, and I'm very disappointed. I talked to Samsung, and currently their "out of warranty" repair service is not active, and apparently my watch is out of warranty. As I received this as a gift nine months ago, I can't really say where it came from initially so I can't say as to whether it should be in warranty or not. So, I feel like my best bet is to buy parts and fix it myself.

My question them is, if I purchased a metal bezel for a Gear 2, does anyone know if it would fit well on the Neo? I'd rather replace it with metal so this doesn't happen again. I realize the regular Gear 2 has a camera, whereas the Neo just has an IR sensor there, but I feel like I could make it fit. If it can't be done and someone knows that though, I obviously would not like to waste my time and money on it.

If anyone has any insight into this, I'd be very appreciative!
[Samsung Gear 2] AgentOrange96:
Okay, well shockingly I found a metal frame for really cheap from the next major city over from me so... I guess I'll give it a try. I'll post my results.
[Samsung Gear 2] AgentOrange96:
So, the new front chassis came in and unfortunately, as feared, the Neo and the regular Gear 2 are not quite as compatible as I thought.

The biggest issue is that the back isn't quite the same shape, which is weird because visually it's near impossible to see a difference, but it's there, and it prevents the back from fully closing. However, I plan to resolve this with a back for the full Gear 2 I ordered for cheap.

The second biggest issue is that the metal is designed to isolate the camera from the motherboard. This means there is a physical metal barrier which gets in the way of the IR LED. On top of this, it appears there are slits molded into the screw-posts for the board to slide into on the Neo, but these are absent from the full Gear 2. I plan to resolve both of these issue, very very carefully, with a dremel. I do not want to compromise the structural integrity of the screw posts.

The last issue I didn't confirm, but appears to exist is that the screen area on the full Gear 2 is slightly taller than on the Neo it seems. I had suspected this actually, and I think that would explain why my screen protectors were slightly too big. I plan to resolve this with a new screen for the full size Gear 2, which was also relatively cheap, but more than I wanted to spend on this project. I feel like you could get away with not doing this if you don't mind a tiny gap. But I want to make sure it's as perfect as it can be.

I'll update again once everything comes in.
[Samsung Gear 2] AgentOrange96:
Update: You can in fact put a Gear 2 Neo inside of a Gear 2 body, if you are so determined. Things that are different about the two include not just the metal main chassis, but also the back, the screen and the charging cradle. (As well as the main board.) So, if you want to do this, you'll need to get a new back as well, which I got cheap from ebay, and I'd recommend getting a new screen too. Theoretically the Neo one will fit, but there will probably be a noticeable gap. I have a Gear 2 cradle on order, for the time being I'm using the Neo charger, which is slightly wider, and holding it on with a rubber band.

The determination part: The main board will not fit into the metal case without modification to the case. (I wouldn't modify the board.) There's a metal divider to keep the IR LED from interfering with the camera, but since the Neo doesn't have a camera, and has the IR LED centered, this means you can't put the board in. This metal divider needs to be removed. Also, the Neo board goes around the screw posts a little bit in a way that is blocked by the metal. So, the trick is to remove the metal around the screw posts to allow the board to fit without compromising the structural integrity of it and without damaging the screw posts themselves. I did not need to make any slits in the screw posts though as I thought might be necessary. Which is good, because I feel a lot safer without doing that. I accomplished the necessary modifications with a Dremel, various tips, and a lot of care with a stead hand.

The end result looks really nice, and I do not anticipate having the same issue the plastic case had. I'm very satisfied, but it isn't the easiest thing to do. But if you are so determined, yes, it can and has now been done.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ofiaich:
Hi!

I was wondering what kind of charges there are if I use

a) Microsoft Direct Push or

b) Vodafone Pop mail account using the GPRS connection?

I think that the Microsoft Exchange Server sends a signal to the phone when email arrives on the server, therefore only pay when receiving, sending and using the internet.

I am not sure how Vodafone's pop email would be different, except that I can choose only to check when I want, or set up a time interval.

On the Kaiser/TyTn II, I can see in the Comm Manager, the Microsoft Direct Push button, and beside it, Data Connection, I guess both should be activcated for Push Mail to work?

Yes, I know I can call Vodafones Customer Service..... :p

I am off to search more !! But any advice is appreciated!

Ofiaich :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] the_ape:
If you have a decent data package, and access to an exchange 12 server it cost you nada for the push option.

However you did say you on Voda, so data costs a small fortune........ but the crux is you only pay to send/recieve email using either, just with direct push it's 'live'

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] veritasaequita:
Anybody know what might be going on here? Ill explain. Also wanted to note that I never had a problem with this issue until about three weeks ago. basically my contact list has two or sometimes three numbers listed for each contact one for Google and one for Samsung and what I'm noticing is that some are formatted like this (985)***-**** and some are formatted like this +1985***-****. sometimes when I send a text message by just choosing from the list quickly I'll send a message that no one will ever receive and I know this because later I'll get a text from that person and a new text entry won't show up with that person's name and picture just like the previous one. I've actually had a three-week run where I didn't notice it and just thought somebody was ignoring me for three weeks. I tried one of those number formatting apps but it hasn't seemed to fix it. Anyone have any advice or ideas in this area? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] KillerClaw321:
You'd probably just have to delete them manually and check if your contacts are syncing duplicates because they are stored on the sim, Google , and Samsung .... I'd just disable sync from the quick tab notification bar.

Pretty sure your files are safe - You need to unlock your screen to allow the internal memory to be accessible via USB.

[XDA Assist] HellScre4m:
I have ideas about what PIT files do. They provide data for appropriate phone storage partitioning.

I know repartitioning (an ability in ODIN and z3x) wipes data

I also know the differences between CSC and HOME_CSC is that the first one wipes data and second doesn't.

Now I have some questions:

Is repartitioning different from using a PIT file?

If yes, will I face problems checking repartition checkbox without using a PIT file?

I inspected CSC and found a .pit file inside it. Is that pit file responsible for wiping data (repartition thing)?

How to realize if a 1-file ROM (PDA only) is non-wipe or not?
[XDA Assist] thereassaad:
Well ,

Infact 1 rom tar will not wipe data's , it's only install as updated for ur current firmware but if u had / faced random reboot then for sure u need full wipes ,

Yes once u install rom with pit its will erase everything on ur phone & its will solve too many problems if ur firmware having it .

Good luck ,
