I use Resco Registry to edit and my rom is T-mobile Dash Rom Window mobile 6.0. I need to do this trick but it doesn't work.Is it because of rom is locked?

Der Members,

i'm using my PixelXL 32 for about 1,5 Weeks now.

This Night i woke up and wanted to take a Look at the Phone Clock. I could not, because the Power Button was somehow pressed in already? I mean dafuq?! I unlocked it via Finger (Im)Print, turned on the Room Light and so i took a Look at the Power Button. And i could not press it. It was pressed already. I troed to Grab it with my nails and after 5mins i got it Out and could press it again. Happened a couple of Times now. It didn't Fall on the ground. Always Safe and secure.

What could it be? Warranty?

Thank you :)

I got a Problem. Phone is bought at Telekom.de , the official German Shop for Pixel(XL) beside the Google Store. Asked today a Google Support for Warranty. He first said, that they will gonna Change the device. After He coudn't find me at the System is said that it is from Telekom. Then He said i have to Fall Telekom for Warranty Issues. Did that. After a i told everything to Level 1 Supporter, she said that she had to ask a Phone Engineer for my Button Problem, He said to her that this dies Not falls under Warranty. That's impossible. So unfair. What now :(

Hello together,

my Elephone S7 arrived yesterday and iam very happy with it except the touch behavior. As many Elephones before my S7 has also the pixel-skipping problem. The touchscreen is very inaccurate and when you scroll slowly there will be continuously micro stuttering and pixel-skipping.

My Phoneversion: Black / 4Gb / 64Gb - Firmware: Elephone_S7_97_20161123

The Elephone P6000 had the same kind of touch behavoir problem. It could be solved with a software-fix. (TP-Fix)

Link to the guy who fixed it: http://bbs.elephone.hk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=2377#.WD6BWYVFyUn

May somebody is able to locate the problem on S7 and write a similar fix. I hope there is no hardware limitation.

so far.
[Elephone S7 Questions & Answers] FunkiBluDawg:
I have the same S7 model & firmware, but have not noticed the issue you mention.

Seems fairly usable and could not see noticable stuttering..

I have removed the screen protector though, maybe its a factor ?

Good to see Elephone are constantly working on improving things, hope this continues until things are perfect.

[Elephone S7 Questions & Answers] superstone:
Hey guys. I received my s7 yesterday. Out of the box I immediately did an update to 1212 Firmware via OTA. For me the pixel skipping bug is still here and for me this is pretty annoying!

Checking with MTK Engineering mode you can see that your finger movement is only recognised every 15-25 pixels.-no matter if you move in x direction or in y direction.

Do you think this can be really fixed by a Software Update? If this is hardware related I will immediately send back this thing!

It's not the only bug. Touch seems laggy in general. There seem to be a lot more. e.g. GPS, SIM 1 deactivation while connecting to car stereo via Bluetooth and so on.

I"m pretty disappointed by the s7 right now....

Thank you very very much for your efforts!

I think that its not simple because usually the ota-updates are stored to \cache partition. Without root rights there is no chance to access the ota directory. Also i think with rooted device you dont get ota-updates anymore ;)

An alternative location could be the root directory of sdcard. But i dont believe that.

How the does bluetooth sound for you guys? Mine seems to be worse after the B29 update (not for certain that's when it degraded). I have a decent car stereo setup, but bluetooth distorts and crackles in the mids and highs. It's not unlistenable, but I thought my stereo was on the fritz until I used my 3.5mm input from the headphone jack, which sounds just fine. It can't be that the DAC is that much better, as my other phones sounds fine and this used to.

Do you have any thoughts or experience with something besides a small bluetooth speaker?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] admrusty:
And I have tried playing with the Dolby settings. They make no difference with the distortion.

Just something to try...I have a BT device hooked to my AVR, and when I stream through that, if I have the volume on my phone up it sounds horrible. If I stream through it with the volume up just 1 click of the volume button, it sounds good. I increase volume at the AVR instead of the phone.

Did you verify that all your bluetooth devices supports aptx? if not then you will lose sound quality :S

idk, i dont like bluetooth audio streaming... even with aptx. Its not bad but if you want to steam flac music it will still limit the quality. Somehow if i stream the music via bluetooths aptx it sound flat not dynmic and

voluminous.

I haven't tried it with the volume just below full. I'll give it a shot in the morning on my commute.

Other devices (S5 and 6P) sound just fine when paired to my headed unit, so it's likely something with my Axon 7.

Quick test with the volume just under full seemed better. I'll know more after a drive tomorrow. Thanks everyone.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] admrusty:
EQ on on your car stereo or phone? I don't know of an EQ on the phone (maybe I've overlooked something).
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] yamils:
On the phone. I meant to say that it's not using the HiFi audio, but the Dolby eq it's fine on Bluetooth. Sorry for the confusion.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] admrusty:
I think it sounds about 95% better just one click below full volume. I never would have thought that digital Bluetooth volume would have been the problem, having always set it to 100% with every other device. Thankfully, Tasker makes for a quick fix.

Thanks for the tips and feedback, everyone.

[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] calamari:
I temp rooted mine with dirty cow, however it gained me very little. There are three main obstacles: 1) SELinux prevents most things from working, because each program runs within a tight security context, 2) using dirty cow causes the kernel to not save changes to the partition (it doesn't want to write a corrupted partition to disk), in other words a r/w /system is useless, even when you can finally write to it, 3) using dirty cow on the most attractive programs (from a permissions perspective) causes "little" problems like the screen going off.

I've been monitoring another XDA thread (sorry, link is at home) where they are working through these issues on another device. There are various approaches and workarounds, but they currently all involve way more risk than I can justify for a $500 phone.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] speculatrix:
AIUI, once you've got root, you need to be able to put selinux into permissive mode, but surely getting temp root is a start?

Please note that the phone is 64-bit. This is source code that requires compilation and additional code to do anything useful.

Is this related to the rooting or can it be anything else entirely?
