[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
Bluetooth gain/volume has always been an issue for me.

I make a lot of DIY portable bluetooth speakers as a hobby and BT input volume is a huge issue compared vs. analog input.

I finally found a Chinese BT amplifer manufacturer who was willing to mod their amp's BT input with higher gain. This helped considerably.

My old JVC car stereo was awful. I was always having to boost the BT output gain.

My 2015 Kia Optima's Infinity stereo doesn't have the same issue. BT volume is fine.

If you are willing to root and try a mod on your phone, the Viper4Android mod lets you raise Bluetooth gain:

Hope this helps.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Miilliiee:
Fastboot and Flash tools are unfamiliar to me plus my computer sometimes recognizes the tablet and other times not. I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted the tablet after quite a struggle- not because the directions were unclear but due to my general lack of familiarity with a Sony tablet. If I need to install boot.img or boot.zip file, as instructed to do in codfx's "Advanced stock with TWRP", would it be OK if I flashed the files or any .img /.zip file through TWRP?

Thank you!

[General Questions and Answers] jd2066:
I was curious if there are any Android manufacturers out there that sell phones that let you access root via something like SuperSU being pre-installed and part of the devices software.

In that case, the device would be just like any PC that is sold to consumers that have this function built-in like PCs with Ubuntu for example that have su and sudo available to access root, PCs with Windows have UAC for Administrator Access and Macs with OS X have something similar to su from what I've read (I don't use OS X so I don't know for sure).

It would easier than finding a way to root an existing device and more secure because root access would be built-in to the software and one would not need a security vulnerability in the software to obtain root access.

This would also allow user to upgrade the software on the device without worrying about losing root because the updated software would already include root access.
[General Questions and Answers] milkyway3:
No,you will not get any manufacturer selling rooted devices.Rooting helps the device to do any sort of tweaks which can even change the main software components of a device. Moreover most of the companies void the device's warranty to reduce the number of people rooting their devices.

Take an example of imei no.: you can change it after rooting and none company would allow it.

Also samsung devices come with pre loaded play music app and you cant uninstall it you can only disable it or remove updated imagine if they would give you root access the you can do any thing......

So,you have got your answer with the reason:):)

[General Questions and Answers] milkyway3:
Its not worth spending your money on this

First of all it's features are not so good

The company is not popular and we don't even know weather it is a official license company or not

Even if your device fails to work you may not know where to go for service or maybe the service center could be too far from what you thought.

If this company is not licensed there may be chances of not getting your warranty properly authorized. Also you may not get the device's parts if your device doesn't works after few months......

There are many drawbacks and I prefer you to never believe in such kind of advertisements.....:angel::angel:

Regards milkyway3
[General Questions and Answers] jd2066:
Well, 'rooted' usually refers to getting root on a device where it wasn't allowed and of course no company would sell a device where the software was hacked.

However, if a company made a device that already had root access via including the SuperSU app for example then the device is not hacked and it's secure when it's sent out.

It's then the responsibility of the user to only give root access to apps that are trusted, in which case there is no problem.

This is how all Desktop and Laptop Operating Systems are designed.

Of course, this allows users to install untrusted software on their computers which can be designed for malicious purposes like messing up the computer, showing ads, stealing personal information, etc. but if you install only trusted software then you should be fine.

The same would be true for mobile OSes that allow root access but thus far few if any Phone/Tablet manufacturer using a mobile OS has decided to allow this.

Right, that is the main point of rooting a device.

Yes, companies that sell a device where they don't intend for the user to root the device will list it as something that will void the warranty.

However, if a company were to make a phone that came with root access as an included feature, then that would not be the case as the warranty would not be void for a feature built-in to the device.

It would make things more complicated as root software could change settings like the CPU clock rate/cooling functions in a way that causes the hardware to fail but it could be done.

An IMEI number is like a MAC Address, it is fixed in the hardware and cannot be changed.

In theory you may be able change the software so it doesn't use that IMEI number but the device's built-in IMEI number will not have changed.

Yes, many manufacturers put in software that can't be removed.

In a device with root access, this would be pointless and could cause a device that comes with root access to be more expensive as manufacturers and carriers could end up with less money when the built-in apps can be removed.

The are the reasons that many if not all Phone/Tablet manufacturers currently do not allow root access but none of them are reasons that prevent this from happening.

A Phone/Tablet manufacturer could sell a phone with root access if they wanted to.

It appears the 'Root 101' tablet is more of an idea then an an actual device.

The people behind it, started an IndieGoGo Campaign that failed to reach it's goal so it appears that device never actually got made.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I never said anything about actually getting the device. I posted it as just ONE example that there are devices that are manufactured with pre installed root, as I said, it may be rare but there are IN FACT devices that come with root. You just missed my point because you were trying to defend your original response. Try paying attention to what someone's response is actually saying.

So I won't lie i didnt check to see if anyone posted about this already cause I was so excited but like the title says I got the Samsung pay to work today with my S2 classic and my un-rooted verizon lg v20.

I originally came from the note 7 to the v20 and like many I have a samsung smartwatch. I was worried i would never be able to use the samsung pay feature of the watch until I saw an announcement about the s3 being able to have samsung pay on other, non-samsung devices so i started looking in gear manager. I already had the spay beta on the classic, but could never use it due to not being samsung. But today something was different. Today when I held the top button on it actually tried to open the app.

This is the point when i went into settings on gear manager and saw the samsung pay icon and when i clicked it i had to update the app a few times and get samsung push app and then boom, samsung pay is fully functional on my s2 classic now. Wondering if anyone gad had luck. Lmk your story.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] smooth781:
This is the first phone I have bought that is not a Verizon phone of some kind. I just ordered a XL tonight from Google store. Said I would have it Thursday. I am coming over from the Turbo. Been a good phone for the last 2 years. I will unlock the bootloader, looks easy enough. Will this have a hotspot app? For now the only thing I want is too unlock and get the hot spot to work. Is it called something different? Maybe I just don't know what I should be looking for. Maybe someone could point me in the right direction. I don't mind reading.

Thanks

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] airmaxx23:
There is the mobile hotspot that you can use but with VZW it checks to see if you've paid for the tethering subscription. With a rooted device there are a few ways to bypass the subscription check and use the hotpsot for free.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xocomaox:
What plan do you have with Verizon? If not on an unlimited plan, hotspot functionality is baked into the OS and works seamlessly.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] smooth781:
Thanks for taking the time to read my post. And your reply was very helpful. I hope in the future if I may need any help you will be right there again.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] smooth781:
Thanks for your reply. I do have still an old Alltel plan with unlimited data. Some other people here I see have missed the main question I have. Maybe I did not ask it right. I have never owned a non Verizon phone. I don't have my new phone yet. I think it ships today. Does it have an app on it for hotspot? Is it called this still on non Verizon phones? Maybe I am making more of this then needed. I just did not know if this was a Verizon thing or phone thing.

Really all I want to do with this is unlock it and make a hot spot work. I'm not going to do much else with it. From reading here before I bought the phone it seemed a good move to buy from google then from Verizon.

Thanks for the help.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cntryby429:
Hotspot is built into the rom. You toggle/adjust it just like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth in the settings menu an/or pulldown shade.

However, if you're on a Verizon unlimited plan then it won't work unless the build.prop is edited. You can do this with a file explorer, using a build.prop editor app (my preference), with adb, or by installing a rom that already has the edit made. You can search the forum for those instructions. I'm in the same situation as you and have hotspot working.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] smooth781:
Thanks you. I will do some reading on this. In my turbo all I did was make a change in the build.prop file. I just did not know if anything would change with non Verizon and newer software on the phone. I paid a long time ago for SQLite so once I'm unlocked and rooted this should work I hope. I have some reading to do.

Thanks again.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xocomaox:
The hotspot feature is a part of Android. It does, however, check your carrier subscription to see if hotspot functionality is allowed on your plan upon launching. This is why I asked about data plan earlier.

I hope it works for you, otherwise there are workarounds (root and non-profit methods) available on this forum. Good luck!

Hi all,

I've posted about this trash before but now it is really annoying me.

We all do our work here for free and for the better good of the community and those who use these PDA's.

I am so sick of people abusing our work and selling it on Ebay without even a thank you let alone any form of re-imbursement for the hard work we do.

I know it's not piracy, and what we do here is pretty much open-source if you like, but this stuff is really getting on my nerves.

Everytime I go on Ebay and search for PDAs the same trash pops up, some idiot making a fast buck off the back of hard working Developers like us.

The guy is selling a Uni with Laurentius's and mine Rom on it and trying to make an extra £50- £70 for our hard work, since the Uni is normally going for between £160- £200 these days.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....ndexURL=4&photoDisplayType=2#ebayphotohosting

I have no idea what we can do about it, I am reporting him to Ebay and would be gratefull for the support of the community in doing the same with this guy and others like him.

It ruins this community and really winds me up to the point that I wonder if should even bother any more.

i have no words for all you people that spend many hours cooking and developing, hours that maybe your wife, husband or kids would need or deserve but just think about the 1000s of happy faces we have everytime we flash you piece of artworks or all the countless hours we wait for a new ROM to come out or just the big smile we have in our faces everytime the flash is finished and we see the new ROM for the first time. Just think that he/she migth be making a few bucks, but you have the appreciation, respect, knowledge and the love of many (maybe thousands) of people every single day with every new ROM . To all this you may have notice that english is not my maiden language(im from mexico) but i do want to show you my respects, i wish i could donate but in the country i live...life is not easy and all i can do is say...... !!!!!GRACIAS!!!!!! :D

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] TehPenguin:
Although I do agree with Beast on this issue - I don't think anyone (other that a Developer) can really comment on it.

Consider, most developers for the Universal have been using my hosting - which I welcome them to do. However, not a single person who has downloaded a ROM from my hosting has donated a cent to me to help pay the hosting cost.

Don't get me wrong - I don't want the developers to pay (they're already contributing a huge amount to the community). But, when was the last time you (being a random forum member) have donated to a developer for their work or to me for my hosting? Truly, unless you have put something back into the community, you are being a hypocrite by posting in this thread!

Anyway, thats my 2 cents (Australian Cents :P) on the issue - and I apologise to no one that I may have offended

So Disgusting

This is very disgusting if anyone is doing so........as a members of this community we should really stop this .This forum is for us and we should appriciate our developers for giving us such ROM's........which they develope by contributing their valuable time for us.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] beast0898:
Hi all,

I have no desire to make money from my work here, or demand donations for anything I contribute, all I request is the common decency from fellow human beings not to ruin this community by exploiting others.

TehPenguin does have a point though, his hosting does cost him money and adds great value to this community, the FTP Server and BugTracker are invaluable (when used correctly) and TehPenguin and this site could really use donations to help them keep running costs down.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] faraz.riaz:
I feel so ashamed of myself that I have decided not to download any ROM from your domain for one week. Seriously, did people have a bad weekend because everyone seemed to be pissed off? I am disappointed that you called me a hypocrite because I have been accused of this before and I’m anxiously waiting for someone to come up with something new. Everyone whom posted in this thread will have to send a handsome amount of donation to the “hosting dude” starting with Beasty who started this thread. Honestly, I do agree people should pay a little back to help those who are trying to help others. I think even if everyone pays as little as US $1 it will make a huge difference. I am surprised myself people come up with so many ideas how to change the ROM (Whisper: Most of them are lame) and they are more like demanding. I really don’t get why developers put up with that and I told Beasty that why he’s apologetic.

I do agree that we should do a little something to help. So what you need me to do?
