[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Reechings:
I came from S5 as well and am definitely missing all the custom roms right now. The TouchWiz based roms were OK but there is always something that is just ugly with TouchWiz that can't be changed and that drives me nuts. I am excited to get some custom roms on the Pixel XL that actually keep the quality of the camera. That was always a trade-off with AOSP based roms on the S5.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cwalker0906:
I've had mutiple Samsung's, HTC and nexuses. Beside the notes s pen, which I didn't use, what can those phones do that a pixel cant? Either with stock or custom ROM. Secondly, a nexus boring? The reason I came back to a nexus is cause all those other phones are boring. If you think a nexus is boring, you need to dive a little deeper into XDA and learn about the things a nexus can do...far from boring
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] chippillie:
Had a note 7 replaced my Nexus 6 with it. Was a great phone replaced it with the pixel xl and it's not boring but I didn't use a lot of the Samsung gimmicky stuff. I missed not have bloat when I got the note 7. My wife has the v20 not my thing and the s7e is basically the note 7 with no pen. So if you are looking for a change get the pixel. BTW it is faster and smoother then any of the other phones. Like the Nexus line it will be updated to the latest version of Android first
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Majin101:
I came from note 7 which was great. I only miss water resistant and the pen. This phone feels a lot faster, plus I like that I can do multi screen with Netflix. The battery is good enough for me. Camera is great. I don't have much to complain about. Those 3 things outweighs the missing features since it's my main 3 things I look for in a phone. Plus pure android.... I dislike apple :)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mjs2011:
The biggest thing I hate about Samsung is the fact that I can't turn the volume all the way up without that annoying warning pop up message. Yes I know it seems minor but I've always wanted to chuck the phone. Otherwise the S7E was a breast. Loved it.

I own the Pixel now and really appreciate the approach. Yeah a bit boring but so stable and smooth.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Carl555:
Definitely felt like a downgrade to me. Fortunately I carry two phones so I still use my Note 5 for the many features that are unavailable on the Pixel. Third-party apps simply cannot replace all of them. For example, dual camera. There is not a single app on the Play Store which has this ability yet I have had it since the Note II. All the terrible apps I found cannot film both cameras simultaneously.

I also LOVE using the S Pen. Enough said.

On the bright side, I love the battery life on my Pixel and the smooth operation of the OS. I find myself using voice commands via Assistant much more than previously because it is so fast and reliable. It is faster for me to say "OK Google, open NHL" than it is to find the app icon and click.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] UniX1rm:
See, I think the camera is the best camera on the market. Only this year, I owned note 5, s7, s7 edge, htc 10, note 7,v20, iphone 7 plus, and the pixel. I think the pixel got the best camera so far! Great battery (comparable to the s7 edge)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] pcriz:
You guys kill me with your bais against some phones. It's like reverse fanboying where instead of blindly liking a phone you have to blindly hate on one because of the skin on it.

Thing everyone forgets is so many of the features we enjoy in stock Android came from these OEMs taking a chance with their "gimmicks".

But nah, let's not give credit where credit is due because every Nexus and now every pixel is perfect right?

You know what the first phone to screen shot was on Android? Samsung, the first phone with enlarged tabs go better select text? HTC, simple things like that that make life easier. Tap to wake? LG, Ambient display, Motorola. Always listening assistant, Samsung. The list goes on.

Android doesn't begin and end with whatever Google hands out to you once a year.

Here are a few things I miss on my Note 7 from another post. Heck I wish Android was smart enough to buy out mst for Android pay, luckily I grabbed a gear s3 that does Samsung Pay faster than my note 7 did.

No phone is perfect. Stop acting like you have the revolution of phones in your hand.

Also let's not forget this halo affect that's only gotten worse for some after the camera app update. If you say can't recreate so it must be user error just remember there was enough error for Google to make an official statement.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] larsdennert:
I'll concede that the pixel has the fastest shooter and can take HDR shots in the time other phones take non HDR. That makes for great shots. I also think the eis for video works better than the ois on the g4 for video. Where the g4 shines is low light still shots. The Sony sensor with f1.8 and ois is really clear at night. Maybe it's a good trade off.

All the phones you listed have good cameras. We're splitting hairs at some point. The only manufacturer I haven't seen a good cameras from is Motorola. It's a shame because Motorola otherwise has the most reliable hardware.

In the past, HTC was horrible. Camera lenses that fall off, speakers that blow after a week, screens that crack if you look at them wrong. Worst was the defective HTC sense that mangles exchange contacts. I'm praying for better luck with the pixel.

Samsung has had their problems. Cheap batteries that wear out, GPS chips that don't work well, flash storage that goes bad. The recent battery fiasco.

What can I say about lg? G3, g4, nexus5, Nexus 5x all with bootloop hardware issues.

iPhone isn't perfect either and it is the most expensive for what you get. Antenna issues, battery explosions that are probably about the same percentage as the note 7. Glass front and back on the 4 and 5 and the latter series are very slippery.

So yea pick your poison.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] mekanismen:
Curious as I am, I found myself digging around in the *#*#4636#*#* settings. If you press Phone information and then press the hamburger menu, the first line of that would read "Select radio band".

I did press "USA Band", and nothing seems to have changed, but if I wanted to restore that setting to whatever it was before I pressed "USA Band", where exactly is that setting stored? In the modem partition?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Skwerl23:
Likely the hardware doesn't support the other options. Meaning this is more of a core setting to inform the device what it uses. Not to actually change capabilities. However if you find a way to change the capabilities, some international individuals would love you. As where its stored, no idea. What you could do is. Make a band backup. Then change it and make another nandbackup. Then compare the two backups via hex comparison.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] mekanismen:
I actually tried changing the preferred network type in the same "hidden" menu, and that setting didn't stick through a reboot, so I don't think that the radio band setting sticks either.

I will definitely try what you said though, as soon as official factory images are available.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Administr4tor:
hELLO,

I tried installing twp and cwm versions from xda/twrp.me/cwm website for T300T and flashed them successfully from FASTBOOT but after I boot into recovery and then, when I try to wipe data/ factory reset, do anything in twrp or CWM, I get error "unable to mount /system /cache/ and every other partition, so I can not flash anything, can not mount any partition or sdcard or emmc or anything and can not copy flash files into tablet from PC while in TWRP CWM or external SDcard. I already enabled USB debugging and everything else in tablet settings but I am unable to mount anything or format anything from TWRP or CWM.

TWRP shows internal memory as 00mb :S

HOw to get pass that error "unable to mount" ??

If your fastboot still works, please try Kang TWRP 2.8.7.2 from here: http://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf300t/development/recovery-twrp-t3046479.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gs-crash-24-7:
if the other recovery does not work, you would probably need to reflash stock rom from the asus website, this is due to recovery not being able to identify the partitions without a full boot, if you wiped it from bootloader the whole partition table is messed up and you want to reflash that by using the stock rom. If you need any help on that just pm me.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImaPoBoy:
I have the exact same problem. Not sure about fastboot as so far it has not installed anything. I have twrp 2.5.0.0 .... adb does function and have actually installed KK 6.0 and works fine, but on restart it is back to recovery and no OS.Any help appreciated.

using fastboot all I get is waiting on device and a blinkng cursor.

How can I get Kang twrp on the tf300 with adb commands?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImaPoBoy:
Sorry to sort of hi-jack the OP thread, but my problem is very similar. Here is where I am now tablet sitting at Starting fastboot usb download protocol ... 3 icons with RCK blinking. I ran the following From my sdk platform tools folder.

adb reboot bootloader

it was followed by;

" daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037"

"daemon started successfully"

I then ran the following:

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp_tf300t_kang_2.8.7.2.img

it was followed by:

sending 'recovery' (7126 kb)...

followed by a white blinking cursor and it just sits there,

Same results if I run it all the same except substituting the blob file instead of the img file.any ideas?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImaPoBoy:
Many Thanks :)

Many Thanks, go out to gs-crash-24-7 as well to the forums here at XDA, I now have my tf 300 back up and running on the stock JB 4.2.1 rom. Still isn't recognizing my Micro SD card, but that is a problem I think should be easier to solve.

Again, many thanks all.

Took forever to get it to be recognized as a fastboot device with windows 10, but once that happened ( I won't lie, I erased everything many times) well that and me switching to a little 3 ft cord (after so many attemps at adb>fastboot flash staging blob) it is going for now. :)

Good advice below if your TF300T seems bricked. :)

[HTC Tornado] kkrull:
Well it was more like no screen.

This morning my phone froze mid app and when it rebooted the screen went blank after the green bars. The blue and green lights flickered but the screen never came on. I could answer the phone, but for all practical purposes the phone was almost a brick. Same problem after pulling the battery several times. After a hard reset it was fine.

I use NiTro's latest build (which is great. I am looking forward to the next one) and had been using it for more than a month with several reboots without any problems.

Any theories on what happened?
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
Is this the problem that happened after you put the screen rotation cab in? I mean it totally looks like your screen display driver went for a walk and didn't tell you it was leaving.
[HTC Tornado] kkrull:
No I haven't installed the screen rotation yet. But I have installed twenty or thirty cab files. I am doing an install from scratch with the next build and I am thinking about adding Sprite Backup to my bag of tricks so that I can isolate problems more quickly.

Hello All,

I am having issues trying to put back my p9 plus to C432 (it is C900). Unfortunately I think this is the main reason why the following steps do not carry to my desired status (C432). I tried to flash the TWRP after unlock but it looks like the factory reset issue is preventing from allowing to launch it correctly. I tried this many many times.. with no success. I tried to invoke the factory reset from the phone (*#*#2846579#*#*) but it fails too. Could you please advice?

Thank you!

Hey guys

So i was trying to flash the new RR remix 7..

I formatted everything and now my TWRP shows 0 MB and i am unable to mount or flash ANYTHING except firmwares and recoveries.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] jon52491:
I was using 7.x the other day and tried to revert back to 6.x. Unfortunately, I couldn't because the data partition was set as f2fs. I tried changing it back to ext4 through twrp and it wouldn't work. It kept saying something about the data partition is busy or in use.

I fixed this by booting into fastboot and reformatting the data partition from there using the command: fastboot format:ext4 data (or maybe it was userdata?) I forgot lol.

Also, which partition did you reformat? I think it's only cache and data that is to be changed to f2fs for that ROM.

so tethering is pretty much using your phone as a modem so you can connect to the internet and use your PC to browse?

Yes 'Tethering' is the euphemism used mainly in the US for connecting your phone to your PC/Laptop via BT or USB so it can be used as a 'over the air' modem. Good in places where a standard telephone/internet system is not available and very cheap with some carriers on the right plan. You just have to make sure you are before you use it. :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] tx_dbs_tx:
FYI. This is a complete waste of time.

1. Pay apps MUST be secure for obvious reasons.

2. Samsung and Google Pay services will ALWAYS continue to maintain device integrity checks and ensure customers that the NFC Pay services is as secure as possible for consumers and vendors. Period.

By allowing unsecure, rooted, and otherwise modified software to use pay services without these security measures would absolutely open the door to criminal activity. Therefore this will never be allowed to go unchecked. This only makes sense as is for the benefit of everyone.
