[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Hansoliv:
Good day.

I have been seeing in some post that after March (APC8) update, because of some mess in android, S7 began to use much more battery.

Did anyone compare it in real life?

Is it worth to downgrade?

If yes, what other function will be lost after the downgrade? (couldn't find any firmware version changelog)

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] TriceLL:
hi, there is a noticable difference in battery life and SoT, I could hit around 6H SoT with my 900F (exynos) with mid/high usage running APC8, it was a very good built.

running BPJ5 atm and hitting around 3H SoT, sometimes little more or less so... yeah i guess its worth downgrading if you dont mind some minor updates and Samsung Cloud, I upgraded mine a few weeks ago, because of Samsung Cloud support and theres Android 7.0 behind corner so I would update anyway. cheers

im still wondering how could Samsung ruin the battery life so bad and not fix it for more than a half year :confused: :confused: :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] FalconFX:
Im running BPJE latest update. Im on 5hr sot with 18hrs standby
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Hansoliv:
Thank you for your reply.

From what i have read, it is android source code issue, not Samsung.

Maybe with 7.0 Nougat upgrade and it's enhanced Doze, could be back to the old battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] TriceLL:
we will see. what is really intriguing is that some users are just fine with post-APC8 updates, like falcon here, i dont get it, really...

I have debloated my S7, no GPS, no heavy gaming.. i just dont get it..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] sstrunks84:
I haven't tried BPJE yet, and I might after seeing this thread. I've tried BPJ1 and BPH6 and battery life was horrible - about 3hr SOT. Switched to APC8 and battery life doubled.

Update: I've now updated to BPJE, and the battery life is really good. Almost as good as APC8. Performance is better on BPJE so it's a good compromise between battery life and performance.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dhirenmehta:
Hi Folks,

Having a nightmare with getting dePixel8 to work on my new EE Google Pixel XL.

I've read through other posts and cannot find a replication of my issue.

All drivers correctly installed, current version of ADB / Fastboot on my (Windows) machine.

Running Build NDE63H on my phone at the moment (not sure if this makes a difference).

Keep getting the error:

[+] starting

[+] getting there, about 20 more seconds please

[-] it didn't work out this time :(

[-] after your device reboots, please try again
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] nbhadusia:
It took me 3 attempts before it worked. Keep at it. I've read it took someone 8 attempts so give it a few more shots. I'm also on EE btw running the same build as you.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dhirenmehta:
Finally got it working by changing the command slightly.

Rather than using "adb shell /data/local/tmp/dePixel8" to kick off the process, i changed the command to "adb wait-for-device shell /data/local/tmp/dePixel8"

On the second run it worked straight away, looks like it started working before some other piece of software kicked in.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
Hi. I've tried a million times and no joy. Was yours set to PTP
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 557953:
So does Depixel8 still work? Been trying to find out for a couple of days now. My upgrade is due 27th December, but having a EE or CPW locked bootloader is a bit of a deal breaker for me I'm afraid.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cam30era:
The answer is simultaneously simple and complex. It the device is running 7.1.1 (NMF26O or Q) then dePixel8 won't work. It it's still on 7.1 then dePixel8 will work.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 557953:

Here is the PH4 OTA update.

You can just "calculate" the name for the update file if you know what you're looking for and download that. I constructed the URL like:

https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/42998/1488/SS-<OLDVERSION>-to-<LASTSIX-OF-NEWVERSION>-UP

https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/42998/1488/SS-G870AUCS2DPH3-to-S2DPH4-UP

Then used freedownloadmanager to grab the file. Haven't installed it yet but here it is for download.

[Huawei P9 Accessories] Leonkrwawy:
Hello everyone

I'd like to ask U about 'smart cover'. Is it works only with original case from Huawei?

I have 'goosperry' case for my smartphone, I set option smart cover without window, and doesn't works (smart cover with window doesn't work as well).

Regards
[Huawei P9 Accessories] zinko_pt:
Smart cover have a magnetic layer and that's how the phone senses the open or closed cover.

Generic windowed covers might not have this feature.
[Huawei P9 Accessories] Leonkrwawy:
Hmm.. magnetic layer. I tried one cover which had 2 magnets on corners inside.

It doesn't work either.

Do u know where i can find Huawei cover without a window? All which I can find on ebay or whatever where, got window.

Has any got info about not original case, where smart cover works?
[Huawei P9 Accessories] zinko_pt:
Not corners, have to be in specific places. Have you checked aliexpress? I'm sure they have a ton of them.
[Huawei P9 Accessories] Leonkrwawy:
Unfortunatelly only cases without window are for P9 Lite ;/

Too bad, I thought it will works.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] ween101:
Was thinking of switching to a Pixel but I went through a fairly nasty preorder fail with Verizon & Google so I wash my hands of that phone

Would like to hold on to the Note 7 until the Galaxy S8 release, what's the general consensus will Verizon kill the Note 7 off by either February or April

when the expected debut for the S8 is to allegedly arrive?
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] neyenlives:
I'm in the same boat except I actually got my silver 128gb Pixel XL a day before launch and returned it. Reactivated my Note 7. I don't see how they can charge us for the device, they paid off the contract. Phone is my property. I plan to ride this until the S8 comes out...
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] whoofit:
All we can do is ride it out if we choose to keep it. I'm happy I did so far. I don't see that changing any time soon.

Verizon can take my payments for the phone at any time. I have a surplus in my Verizon account to do so. I did not default in any way. So, we will see.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] neyenlives:
They can't charge you for it if the terms of the contract were satisfied by the contract being paid off, at which time the device becomes your property. That's my take on it. I don't want anything they are offering right now..... so I'll wait..
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] whoofit:
Basically, all I'm doing is accumulating one month's phone bill over the course of 10 months. So when the Note8 is released I'll still have my upgrade in tact, I'll be able to get an early upgradeable Note9, and I can skip a phone payment 10 months from now.

I was advised that this course was the safest course and should disallow even the blocking of my phone's IMEI. But, as I said, we shall see. I was advised that the course I have chosen allows for legal recourse and is defensible if need be.

But, I am not an attorney.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] neyenlives:
Lol, nobody is getting legally involved over a 800 dollar smartphone that was written off...

I'm keeping my Note 7 and got a V20. This whole Note 7 situation kind of worked out really since we got to keep a $900 device :]
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] jjayzx:
Lol it's not a free device, you upgraded so they will come looking for it.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] imucarmen:
No they won't. Verizon already wiped it off people's account and are treating it as if it never existed.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] jjayzx:
Lol keep dreaming and block updates http://www.theverge.com/2016/11/4/13527524/samsung-note-7-recall-85-percent-devices-returned-us
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] imucarmen:
Of course I have turned off updates and I get no annoying pop-ups. I have spoken with Verizon on the phone and they show no record of me ever owning a Note 7. Verizon are treating the device as if it never existed. I'm not a novice user and actually have had a thread here on XDA for over a month showing people all the possible apps and services they can disable. I currently have near 170 apps and services turned off and there is no way I'll ever get any OTA's or annoying pop-ups. My Note 7 is locked from outside interference and I just use it as a Wi-Fi device now.

If Verizon ever intended on charging people for the device after the second recall they would not have wiped it off people's account before they returned it but would rather have told people they must return it first.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Bahney:
I have had my pixel xl for 2 days now and one of the things which is so frustrating is the navigation buttons at the bottom being the wrong way around for me.

the three Home, Back and open apps buttons are un editable! so i cant switch them around to the layout i prefer.

i hold the phone right handed and use my thumb for "back" which means i am stretching to the lower left of the phone constantly.. i have spoken to google chat about this to ask where the settings are to change it like i have done on all my other phones and to my complete surprise they said it is not an editable feature!!! unbelievable.

last thing....how the hell can a phone this expensive not even come with headphones?!£$"!! i was gobsmacked when i opened the box and didn't see any
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bricky23:
I had the same problem with my Moto z. Had to unlock bootloader, root, and install Xposed, to get the navigation buttons to swap. Should be a basic option. And I agree, should have been some kick ass head phones for this price.

All respect to you Andythedev and not to excuse Elephone - but all Makers are guilty of such practise to some extent or other - unless they are hit with fine or mass social media 'something-gate' , zero will happen. All we can do is -

1) NEVER , EVER, PRE-ORDER

2) Check the reviews and do your research - as you showed in your post the actual images of bezels vs their market blurb.

3) If such anomaly is known, is it a show stopper?

4) Buy / do not buy ... based on the previous 1,2,3 formula
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] MariosFFX:
Hello

I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro [Qualcomm]

I tried installing TWRP on my phone and my phone now won't boot, it stays on Mi logo

I have done these:

1) I installed Global Developer 6.10.13 [I did it from the phone's update menu when I was on a custom ROM]

2) Global Developer ROM got installed just fine, it was working flawlessly but bootloader was relocked

3) I unlocked the bootloader using Mi Unlock tool (official way, with my Mi Account)

4) I installed TWRP Recovery from this site

http://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-3/development/official-twrp-3-0-2-0-recovery-redmi-t3352966

5) When I launched TWRP it asked for a decryption password, I tried my pins and Mi Account password and I did a factory reset

Now my phone is stuck at Mi Logo

What do I have to do now?

I just want TWRP and Root with Global Developer nothing more.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] ayush3051:
The MIUI MM ROMs have inbuilt data encryption. That's why official TWRP asks for that decryption password. Do this -

Boot into fastboot mode. Flash this TWRP. This has inbuilt support for data decryption as well as dm-verity disabling plus it can root your MIUI too. Go ahead and try this one.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] MariosFFX:

Recently i purchased one of these. tv box. But the item do not have a notification bar.

Anyone knows how to get it?

And it didnt let me change to stock launcher so i installed google m launcher. but still no notification bar.
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] MrMiketheripper:
I've got one of these boxes too. It's not so much the lack of a notification bar that bothers me (mine stays in my bedroom hooked up to a TV) but what's really bothering me is the lack of proper gamepad support.

I tried a generic SNES styled gamepad (Windows identifies it fine as a "USB Gamepad" and my LG G2 recognizes it with an OTG cable) but this box does not recognize it, only my wired Xbox 360 Afterglow gamepad.

Tried disconnecting the box and reconnecting, the problem continues and unable to connect to my TV - message "NO SIGNAL".

This box does not have any resetting button or other facilities.

If the box gets connected to the TV can do the factory setting.

[Android Auto General] kyleellis:
This is my first venture into an Android head unit. I went this route because I believe I can make this work in place of many different devices.

My car is an 84 FB RX7.

The main points are; I can keep the majority of my music here, along with some other media. I am also working on building the ls engine to take the place of the rotary. I am using megasquirt which will use Tunerstudio. I am hoping to be able to run tunerstudio from the headunit. I also, for now, am not going to be tethered to my phone for data, nor will I have a 3/4g dongle. Money is going other places right now. I'm not what you'd call an audiophile, but I do want the best I can get from my budget setup.

I need some advice and some help. I am still working on the install and a lot of other stuff on the car right now, however, I did power the head unit up to do some testing. I am completely unsatisfied with the layout of the home screen, and it doesn't appear to be able to be changed in typical android fashion. It seems as though the clock, radio/music display, and the shortcut buttons are fixed and I can't see how to remove or add to them. How would I go about changing the layout and/or using a different skin? How would I change the apps the shortcut defaults to?

Another issue I'm having is that everytime I open google maps, the app crashes. FWIW I do not have a map card in place. How would I go about loading a map card? I do have a spare 8gb card. Nav isn't a huge deal, but I would like to have it work if I need it. I do go out of town occasionally for events in this car. I just cannot tolerate having a shortcut on my homescreen that doesn't work and that I cannot change.

Apps:

The preloaded music player isn't terrible actually. I don't think. What are other good options that either have their own EQ or will utilize the default EG without having to go back to home, and going to the eq independently?

What other apps should I be looking at?

Hi everyone!

I just signed up for Public Mobile service. I have a LG G3 D852 which is unlocked. It was on Telus initially, and most recently with Rogers.

Now, when I inserted the PM sim, it says "Network Locked"

I even bought an unlock code but it doesn't work.

So how is this possible? An unlocked phone can get locked again by a sim card? I tried using another active Telus SIM card and get the same message.

Is there a way to get around this?

Thanks!

A quick google search shows that SIM cards can be locked, for which you evidently need a Personal Unblocking Key or PUK.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neptune_:
I don't think this is a SIM-lock problem. The SIM doesn't ask for a personal pin to use the phone.

It looks like a carrier lock issue where the carrier has somehow locked the phone again after it was unlocked in the past.

No, most any handset with supported gsm bands will work on Public Mobile.
