I say you do it. You can always sell the Pixel XL and return most of the value, because the S8 is coming out in 2 months so prices will begin to drop on the S7 edge. Plus the Pixel XL is a great device all around.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Galactus:
Most people here will tell you to keep the S7 but then again you are in the S7 forum. Likewise, ask this on the Pixel forum and they will tell you that Touchwiz is a fat bloated mess etc etc. It all goes down to what "YOU" want.

Now for me personally, the capacitive buttons do not bother me at all, nor does the home button. I like good audio. The S7 has better sound from the headphone out than the Pixel. I love a bright clear screen. Again, the S7 wins here. I think the Pixel looks boring compared to the S7. Cameras are about even though, but yes software wise the S7 is more packed in the camera department.

The pixel of course has clean software, timely updates and is smooth as ****. No comparison here, the Pixel is very well optimised, battery life could be better though. Are you not able to use the Pixel before you go for the trade?

Make your own checklist and see what you actually value in a smartphone. I would call it a side step/possible downgrade just based on features alone. Then again, some people need stock Android at all costs.................
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jewnersey:
Thank's for the replies. I will go to the local tech shop and have a play with the Pixel so that I can get a feel for the software and the device. That said...

I am thinking much along the lines of daniel, where I can just sell it if I don't like it, but now they are asking for $100 AUD (~76 USD) on top. Would still likely be in my favor if i had to sell; and if the s7 is doing to drop in price soon, then it is only going to lean more in that direction over the coming months.

I didnt realize the s7 had better audio. That is a HUGE factor for me, but can the quality not be equalized with Viper, etc.? Also had the thought that, if I am going to lose the camera software anyways, I may as well just flash one of the AOSP roms floating around, which I imagine will continue to get better.

Still point 1 above means that I might stand to make money, or at the very least, not lose any, if I opted to return to the s7.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Galactus:
Yeah the Pixel DAC and amp combo aren't anything to write home about. A lot of people were disappointed since HTC have amazing audio and Google decided not to bother with any of their audio hardware or software features. Bare in mind I am comparing the Pixel to the Exynos S7 which has a better DAC/Amp combo vs the Snapdragon model.

I would make sure the Pixel is in top condition first, why wouldn't the person you are getting it from just do what you may do and reap a profit on top by selling the Pixel?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jewnersey:
i gone and did it... will report back with my thoughts

edit: respond to previous post----

Yeah i was on Exynos as well. Will see how the audio quality compares after I root and install viper,etc.

This person was NOT very tech savvy, so I think I did well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] 102skysx:
Well according to the specs s7 edge wins

But in terms of roms I'm just guessing Google pixel will have more support.

unless the restrictions for custom roms are just as harsh as it is on s7 edge making it impossible for an official CM based rom which is a let down as I was a huge CM fan

But that all said I would still keep my s7 edge mainly cuz the performance isn't lacking and better specs with no problems whatsoever why would anyone want to downgrade....

Even if google pixel may have better developer support, better hardware & specs is what I would pick

Since CM is now dead if its anything other then CM my love for custom ROMs has gone to the grave.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Chord_Hugo87:

So I have an AT&T note 4 that has been sitting for a few months. My son needed a phone so I let him use it. When it tries to update to android 6 it stops.

[T-Mobile LG G4] draymond1987:
Hey guys, so I couldn't find this information via Google, or on XDA. I might not have looked hard enough, if it is answered. (Sorry in advance, if it was)

As the title states, what IS the difference between how the baseband operates on Stock VS AOSP/CM ROMs?

Real world example: During a 7 hour shift of work, I can come home with about 85-90% (on Stock) . It's mild usage because of work, but during breaks, I'll watch Youtube, listen to music, browse the webs.

But on AOSP/CM, the percentage is about 70-80% .

Even during an overnight shift, where I can listen to music for 7 hours straight, the battery life difference is noticeable!

I know some will think it's not too big of a difference. BUT I do notice that on AOSP/CM my signal is constantly low or nonexistent, and battery stats did show that the system was hunting for LTE. I honestly can't recall the menu I was in, but it shows how long the screen was awake and when it was woken up during X amount of time.

It just seems to me, that Stock has better performance when it comes to baseband usage, and I really wonder why ?

Thanks to anybody that can answer this question. I just wanna know for my own personal benefit.
[Android Apps and Games] chillalex:
Hey guys,

Does anyone know an app to automatically start another app (in this case it's the voip app Zoiper) and quit it at a certain time?

For my work I need to have the battery consuming voice over ip app "Zoiper" running in the background, so I can receive calls on a specific phone number. I'd like to be reachable via my voip number from 9am until 7pm. For the rest of the time the apps needs to be turned off completely (else it'll eat up my battery). The background mode is required for the working time (so I can receive calls when my screen is off).

As far as I can see Zoiper doesn't have that option...

I guess what I'm looking for is a scheduled start and stop (quit, no running in the background after 7pm)

I'm using a Oneplus One with Cyanogen 13.1.2 (Stock ROM) (Android 6.0.1), rooted and unlocked.

Thank you for your ideas and help.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] l0aded:
Hello,

I have a Joying 5.1.1 HU with RK chip which has absolutely horrible Wi-Fi connection. I recently got a freedompop account (Sprint's network) which gave me a wifi hotspot.

I plan on taking the sim card from the wifi hotspot and putting it into a LTE USB dongle (either Franklin U770 or Netgear 341U for Sprint bands).

1. Is it as simple as plugging in the dongle to one of the USB ports on the back of the Headunit?

2. Is there possible compatibility issues between brands of dongles?

Thanks.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] popeye70:
Better to buy the dongle at Joying website, to avoid compatibility issues...

Inviato dal mio SM-G935F utilizzando Tapatalk
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] BlinkyTrojan:
1. Yes, if your USB 3G/LTE dongle has already pre-configured (also, not PIN enabled), mine works this way.

2. Yes, you may refer to some of the threads/posts here or in MTCB forums for the list of compatible dongles. I have 2 3G dongles on hand but only one worked.

Also, mine has "USB3 is not mounted" issue quite frequently since I started having the dongle plugged in. I have tried to switch between the 2 ports given and also flashed a few ROMs, to no avail, same thing happened. Not enough power maybe? Still looking for an easy fix. Maybe a seperate Mifi could work or I stop playing music from USB instead.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] bobbi1984:
Erisin (LM) MTCD unit. This works for me:

1. Huawei E220: disadvantage is that it needs two USB slots, one for additional power, else won't work properly

2. Huawei E367: not recommended, because it's dual-mode (includes USB storage mode). By default it's in USB storage mode, to make it work I have to use PPP3 Widget after root.

To answer both your questions:

- yes, compatibility issues can occur, check MTCD thread on pda4, there is a list of tested modems. Other than that, you need "Mobile Network Settings" apk, if you don't see the menu in settings, so you can configure the APN.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] kye04:
Hi. i would like to know if there are any compatible 4G dongles ... ?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] theandywaite:
This may be useful to you - I currently have issues with using a WiFi dongle on my XTRONS GS MTCD.

The head unit boots in about 1s from standby, but the WiFi dongle (XTRONS 3gdong008) takes about 20-30s to boot.

If I want to get nav / streaming music running, I have to sit there for ages while it turns on and connects.

Very annoying - I've gone back to using my mobile as a hotspot for now.

I'm considering adding a permanently live USB port and leaving the WiFi dongle always running, although I'm not sure if this is going to drain the car battery while parked overnight.

If charging is working and OTG/PC isn't, it means that something is wrong in the data-pins of the micro-usb connection. Can you open it again and observe carefully all the 5 pins of micro-usb female connection and the back-side of it. There should be no shorts and no breaks. May be clean that part carefully.

[LG K8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Professor Woland:
Hi I have working on this some time and it should work, I'm not a real developer and don't have big knowledge. This is ported from Wileyfox porridge.

I'm posting this here because I don't have a PC to try to build on it (I have single core celeron with 512mb RAM, belive me or not) and also my phone's bootloader is still locked because I don't want to break warranty yet because I had some problems with very low R/W speeds. So if there is anyone who know what should be done and would like to try to build ROM or help with device tree, please feel free to do that.

NOTICE: If you have model other then 8GB K350nds you should edit values of partition sizes in BoardConfig.mk Better solution will be if I known difference in size of partitions for each model, and even than I'm not sure what attribute from /proc/cmdline I should compare to get it right (in init_mm1v.cpp)

Device tree https://github.com/ProfessorWoland/android_device_lge_mm1v

You'll also need common tree https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_cyanogen_mt6735-common

About kernel if you try to build ROM:

Kernel source is published by LG here http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=k350

But also there is kernel on Lineage OS repo https://github.com/LineageOS/android_kernel_cyanogen_mt6735

It should work also if you just add muse6735_m1v_m_defconfig file from your kenel source to /arch/arm/configs . Or at last i think that is our _defconfig because it's only one with anything which can be related to our device (m1v)

And there is still problem where we can't flash anything without soft brick because of some signature or whatever else checker. Probably in lk (little kernel) partition so we need a good reverse engineer to make check function allways true and don't kill phone in process..

[LG K8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Professor Woland:
Not in a useful way, it compiles ROM but we don't have a way to test it, however even if we do I think it wouldn't work since even from kernel sources from LGE it can't compile working kernel idk why, since kernel doesn't have anything to do with tree, I tested it via 'fastboot boot ___' command.
[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Hello

I am new to working on these phones so I apologize in advance if I don't properly state any processes or terms correctly.

I have a stock non modded Verizon LGG3 VS985 that experienced problems with WiFi and Bluetooth not working and significant battery drain. This happened right after a recent update to marshmallow. I tried cache clearing, safe mode, hard reset and nothing solved the problem. I decided I wanted to take the phone back to factory condition. I started with the LG flash tool that uses the .tot and a .dll. I ran the flash and when the program got to approx. 80%(at checking mini os phase of the flash) the phone began to reboot and only got as far as the LG logo and after about 2 min of the phone trying to reboot the flash program said fail, usb connect or something like that. At this point the phone will only start and go into a loop that includes the vibrate and the LG logo. and that will cycle until I believe the battery would die if allowed. I then found a link here at XDA (https://xdaforums.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/guide-flash-to-stock-10b-kdz-method-t2928140) that uses the KDZ method, was well written and easy to follow. I ran it on the phone and it was going great. The flash program got to 88% and the phone went into the boot loop with the vib and LG logo . The flash program continued to run until it was complete while the phone was in the boot loop and it got to 100% and said that the software installed. I powered down the phone via battery removal and now when it tries to boot it vibes, shows the lg log and then the green android symbol shows for about 2 seconds and then it does it all over again. I have tried a hard reset and nothing changes. I appreciate any ideas any of you may have on what I can try to get this resolved. Thank you.

[Magisk] PedroCaseiro:
Hello guys. I'm tempted to install Magisk on my Zenfone 2 ZE551ML. I have the latest CM13 Nightly + Xposed and I want to ask if Magisk has any problem running alongside these two.

Another question is if I can still use the built in CM13 root.

Thanks for your answers!
[Magisk] FHC1998:
Im running on CM 13 (ZenFone 2 Laser ZOOL) stable and it works fine.

The only problem is that with xposed active the safetynet check don't pass. But its just a matter of disabling xposed and rebooting when necessary.

I dont know if the differences are too significant, but hope it helps.
[Magisk] PedroCaseiro:
That means Magisk doesn't work with Xposed ? Or I just have to unninstall Xposed and then install again after installing Magisk ?
[Magisk] FHC1998:
Magisk itself works perfectly with Xposed installed, only Magisk Hide that doesn't hide Xposed.

So if you don't plan on using any app that checks Safety Net (Pokemon Go, Android Pay, for example) You won't have any problem.
[Magisk] PedroCaseiro:
and what about the built in CM13 root ?
[Magisk] FHC1998:
I think the newest Magisk auto removes it when you flash it.

But I had manually removed before installing magisk on mine.

But in any case, if I remember correctly you can just remove it thru the SuperSU app before flashing Magisk.
[Magisk] PedroCaseiro:
I'll try it then and hope not to **** up my phone. Thanks
[Magisk] FHC1998:
No problem. Just remember to make a nandroid backup first if you are worried.
