I'm the same way.

But obviously the OP feels different so why bother to post.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] kmdavisjr:
This feature does not even work for me at all (but I am able to get the light to pulse). After talking to pixel support for about 30 minutes they did confirm that Ambient display has an engineering problem they are currently working on.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] superdave42:
Damn !! I was going nuts trying to figure out why this phone was not acting like my Nexus 6. lol I loved the Moto display then had to end up liking the Nexus 6 version afterwards. Then this Pixel XL only flashing the notice once then never again was aggravating. and of course no good app on the play store to emulate this function with 7.1 lol

well I hope this engineering problem can be fixed with software. :silly:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] grokus:
I've created an app that wakes ambient display when you take the phone out of your pocket or if you have the phone face down and turn it over. The app is in addition to Google's ambient display and does not change your lock screen in anyway.

I added a few other paid features for pulsing at an interval, wave to unlock, and battery percentage display on the ambient display.

I would love to have a few beta testers for the extra features, as it's a work in progress. Message me if you'd like a free code to redeem for the paid features.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newbieAndro:
Hi android community,

I bought recently a Motorola Moto G (2015). I wanted to hide some pictures from being seen when I'm scrolling through the phone - so I created a new folder ".nomedia" and switched about 30 pictures into this new folder. It worked great - my gallery didn't show these pictures anymore. Unfortunately it worked too great. I removed the "." to make the pictures visible again, but there are no pictures. I renamed the folder again into just "NewAlbum" - still no pictures. I browsed with the ES file manager to the directory, but the folder is empty. It says there are no files . Could it be that my 30 pictures are just deleted like this?! Can I make them visible again?

I also took out the SD-card and put it in again - no effect :(

So basically my problem is - the folder is still there, I can see it. But it is empty

Is there any possibility to got my pictures back?

My device is Motorola Moto G3 (2015), Android 6.0.1
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] alizawi:
Is the 24/7 customer support on the phone active worldwide? Or is it one of those USA only features?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Pffzz:
I was wondering the same, once I managed to get to a screen where I could request support via phone or chat (between 9am-9pm) but now I can't even find that anymore.

It says here to go to Settings -> support :

"""https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/7109524?hl=en&ref_topic=7084203"""

Edit:If I do that I can request support and it works.

I bought the phone in Germany.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] alizawi:
Good to know.. My doubt looks to be in its place then. Hope I'm wrong though.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Pffzz:
Sorry about that I checked again and I found the support tab.

Ill try it and see if it works.

update: I tried chat and that worked on the 2nd try, so apparently the feature is available afterall.

I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 with what is called "Pixel Xperience" witch is a custom rom with the pixel launcher and google apps, etc. I have magisk, magiskhide and everything to make my phone appear as a secure phone on playstore. The thing is i accidentally installed Viper4Android on Magisk, when i did that, phone wont boot, i tried doing a metod i know witch is going to /data/adb in the TWRP file manager, but when i tried, everything, everything appeared as random letters and numers, same for my phone storage, if anyone can help me please do it, my brother gived this phone to me with everything and i dont want him to know about this.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] slind:
On my small Pixel (black 128GB edition) I get severe lens flares in situations, that were never a problem for any smartphone before.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfz8YmHmeJ4 The video here illustrates the issue pretty well, several very well known people on YouTube + Twitter have encountered the exact same problem, including [MENTION=4399028]MKBHD[/MENTION], [MENTION=1521292]Detroit[/MENTION]BORG and [MENTION=2555413]superscientific[/MENTION] !

I'd like to know if there are devices out there that don't have this problem. You won't see it in all lighting situations, but it's very pronounced in some - where it shouldn't be.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Mcyates:
I have.noticed this today on my camera I attached a photo the halo or flair can be seen at the bottom the pale grey around the bottom left and right. Like you say, it's only in certain light conditions and certain angles. Must be the glass that surrounds the lense.

Looks like the the phone has been rushed out and not tested properly.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Mcyates:
Two more photos

This is definitely a design floor as happens if the camera is on its sides, upside down and normal. Really didn't expect this from such a highly priced phone.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] slind:
I'm taking mine back to the carrier store in an hour. No way I'm going to accept this.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ryken229:
This is happening to me as well. Definitely a deal breaker, unless covering the glass with a case fixes the problem. It's a shame, because the camera blows everything else out of the water.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
Well be prepared for disappointment. My phone has it too. I guarantee every Pixel does. Probably because of the subtle curve on the rear glass.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Mcyates:
Yeah I'm not going to hold my breath, but the guy who done the video in the first post had two pixels and only one of them done.this. I'll just keep returning them until I get one that works

Google said they didn't know about this but they have forwarded the link to this thread and the YouTube video so they can investigate further.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] cc999:
really

Do you really believe they are going to eliminate the halo with that approach?

No way. It's a design flaw. The question is how does that digital picture site

give this phone such a high rating and they never saw this in any of their pictures?

This just doesn't add up. I am awaiting the XL to come back in stock to order

but this is a deal breaker for me unless this is a defect on a few phones.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
DxOMark actually did mention the lens flare/halo if you read the entire review... they just call it something more technical.

Yes, I fully believe they will be able to correct for this issue, at least SOMEWHAT, in software. I think the question will be whether or not they can actually preserve detail in the area where the flare is occurring. Google has pulled off some amazing feats with this camera just because of its software... they're not going to claim to do something they can't do.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] cc999:
Halo

So you are saying this is on all Pixels? Not a defect of a few?

CC
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
According to Google, yes. The lens assembly is subject to very tight manufacturing tolerances. Every Pixel is going to have this issue.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Mcyates:
Got my new phone, and as stated above I still have the flair so I'm really.imterested into what Google can actually do. I'm off to the park with my dog layer so I'll take lots of photos and upload them here if they have any flare issues.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] slind:
Don't accept this. Take it back to your point of sale. Get another phone. I am so ****ing done with this.

"We completely, retardedly screwed the entire design of our phone and will now make you use a certain camera mode to mitigate (not resolve) the issue in software"

None of you should accept this.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] RoccoN4:
Out of maybe 100 photos I have taken with this phone, you can maybe see it in like 3-4 photos. Only really happens on my end if I am shooting directly into a light source which most photos are pointing away from a light source. It's not like every photo comes out like this.

I am very very happy with this phone and the camera.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Mcyates:
Just been to the park and took some photos only one photo out of about 50 had a halo. I believe Google will fix this.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Abiram26:
Hello,

I currently own a ZTE Axon 7.

So the question is simple: Would it be possible to insert both a nano-SIM and a Micro-SD card in the second slot?

I've seen that on some OnePlus devices people managed to 'hack' this hybrid system and indeed put both a nano-SIM and a Micro-SD card in the hybrid slot.

Has anyone tried it with the Axon 7? Maybe there's less room to fit both cards on top of each other in our device than in an OnePlus device? No clue here...

Opinions? Answers?

Cheers,

[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
I was wondering if Dirty Cow was a possibility and sure enough, it is. I did an "adb shell" into my current 48A stock, unrooted phone and then did uname -a to see the kernel number. It's 3.4, which is vulnerable to Dirty Cow.

I know that my Linux distro (Linux Mint) pushed out kernel patches to fix this issue.

http://fullcirclemagazine.org/2016/...ed-by-most-serious-linux-escalation-bug-ever/

I wonder if LG will push out another patch to fix this? This definitely looks like a possible root exploit. Makes me wonder if KingRoot is doing this since it appears to work on just about every phone.

Pretty much any kernel above 2.6.22 (starting in 2007) is affected. Linux Torvalds fixed the issue, but a later release of the kernel source apparently re-introduced the bug.

The latest kernel patches for Linux machines are Linux kernel 4.8.3, Linux kernel 4.7.9, and Linux kernel 4.4.26 LTS.

[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] H0r3t:
Hallo, ich habe das L21 und hatte unter Android 5 EMUI 3.1 gerootet über Huawei und anschließend TWRP installiert.

Die aktuellen Nightlys konnte ich nicht installieren. ERROR 7 und missing TZ.BF.3.0.C3-00025 verhinderten eine Installation.

Ich dachte nun, mit dem aufspielen des stock recovery würde ich den TWRP verdrängen, erst auf Lollipop gehen, dann mit der B140 stock recovery auf Marshmallow, dann könnte ich über den dload ordner ein Huaweiupdate machen um dann erneut twrp zu installieren und dann cyanogen.

Das stockrecovery wurde erfolgreich installiert. jedoch nicht über den twrp sondern daneben. Über die App von TWRP kam ich in den reboot vom TWRP und konnte dann auch cyanogenmod 13 installieren, wenn ich jedoch mit dem Aus Laut+ und - boote, komme ich in den EMUI loader und nicht in twrp, obwohl natürlich TWRP nach wie vor installiert ist.

Wie bekomme ich da wieder ein sauberes System mit nur einem Recovery installiert, natürlich TWRP?

Wenn meine Fragen und Überlegungen unklar wirken, dann sei es der Tatsache geschuldet, dass ich über Interesse, Neugierde und Grundwissen verfüge, jedoch nicht über Fach- und Expertenwissen.

Danke und Gruß.

Please post in english so we can answer you.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] alpinista82:
Hi Horst,

actually there are two separate partitions containing a recovery image on this device. There is recovery and erecovery. To write a recovery image to one of these partitions (you will find the stock recovery in the file repository thread) do the following:

su

dd if=/path/to/your/recovery.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery

or if you want to write erecovery:

dd if=/path/to/your/recovery.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/erecovery

By pressing VOL+ during boot you will enter recovery and by perssing VOL- you will boot into erecovery. Stock configuration was the same recovery image in both partitions if I remember correctly.

Ich hoffe dass Du das verstehen kannst, habe schon lange kein deutsch mehr geschrieben.

For people that want to try this rom I suggest you don't try,it will mess up with your phone,for people that has already try and you want to go back to your firmware you need first to flash stock recovery and make wipe data factory reset,in order to make your internal memory phone useful(this operation it will delete all from your memory phone),after that you can try to restore your firmware

[P8lite General] allrightlite:
We could be glad. Other devices like the more expencive MediaPadM2 8.0 stuck at Android 5.1.1, EMUI 3.1 since 09/2015. And there are many bugs, but no OTA Updates until now. So the P8 Lite can be really happy with Android 6.0, almost on EMUI 4.0, what is really stable at all.

[P8lite General] amageek:
Yes they are just SUPPOSING it.. But still, if rooting Nougat is impossible (Chainfire have successfully rooted Pixel devices, but still.. ), its better not getting Nougat
[P8lite General] allrightlite:
Bull****, why should root not working on the phone? There will be a way, maybe it need some time. Its not special, on Linux-Machines normal.
[P8lite General] amageek:
haven't you read about Google making it difficult to root the android devices???

When Nougat boots, it checks to see if anything in the system partition has been tampered with. Google calls this Verified Boot. The system partitions are verified and given a hash file. Any changes to the partition will change the crypto hash. When you boot the phone up, this hash is checked against the known "right" value, and if they don't match your phone won't boot. The public crypto key is stored on the boot partition and when the people who made your phone want to update (which changes the hash file) they have to verify things with their own private key to change the software. This will create a new hash file and the phone can boot. These changes also include the ramdisk (which is where systemless root worked) so modifying it is out of the picture, too.

well this is just the basic facts... but Chainfire have already found a way to root Pixel devices...
[P8lite General] allrightlite:
Every year the same, but there will be root-methodes. Because anybody will find a way. Otherwise Android would be first time absolutly save without security problems.
