Hi. Just wanted to cross verify whether the scratch is on the lens assembly itself, or on the safety glass, and on what place exactly.. Asking this as I also have a very very slight mark near the two small sensors located on the right of the lens. Tried to get from your picture but didn't quite catch that, sorry.. If possible can you encircle the scratch in the picture?

MS released a new version of live search mobile a week or two ago. I hadn't seen any discussion here about it yet.

They included a few new features, including one that I had discussed with their development team.

In navigation mode, it will now beep as you come upon a new direction. So if you have roughly .1 mile before a turn, you'll hear a beep. You'll get another alert as you reach the instruction, and one after it has completed successfully.

I would also like the mention that the wls mobile team is very responsive about feedback. They must be operating rouge at Microsoft because they actually hear, respond to, and implement user feedback.

Like I said, I discussed the navigation alerts with them and they implemented and released a new version within something like two weeks.

To get the new version point your mobile browser to:

wls.live.com/

Unfortunately they seem somewhat quiet when new versions come out. You kind of have to find the features on your own. I think they share a msdn blog with the windows live search team, which is a shame they don't have their own.

New Live Search beats Google Maps

I much prefer Live Search Mobile over Google Maps for driving around town. I couldn't figure out how to get Google Maps to auto scroll--Live Search has the option to Center on GPS, so your arrow stays in the center of the screen and it magically moves the maps. Also like how it caches maps so its not always sucking down data--I was getting a bunch of connection errors with GoogMaps on my Sprint Mogul.

Good tip with the audible notification about an upcoming turn. Maybe have a config option to choose the sound? I want something louder and more annoying, or maybe I just need to turn down my radio.

One feature I'd like to see is the ability to not have to store my Current GPS position when using the Directions--just use wherever I am and get on with it instead of asking me to save, then asking me to overwrite existing. Its a few extra steps I may not want to do while driving...err, when I stop at a red light.

I have always prefered WLS over Google Maps mobile. I would say that WLS really is a huge part of what makes WM rock.

Does anyone know the version # of the most recent release.

i was wondering if i really need to keep updating the boot img on every weekly update that comes out? if i dont will it break something like wifi or bluetooth?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] charlestek:
I recently did a full factory flash of my Nexus 6P (purchased july 2016) from the last Marshmallow to 7.1.1 two weeks ago. Yesterday I noticed the phone died completely after having been sitting around with minimal use for a little over a day (with my usage, always had greater than 40% charge after a day). I might have the dreaded 6P battery dying problem on my phone. I have Nexus care and the base warranty is still in effect.

Google support said to run the phone in safe mode and see if it dies abnormally again. Then I'm supposed to reset user data and try once more. If there still is an issue they will send me another phone.

Anyway, yesterday after the phone was put on charger, I did a dumpsys of batterystats. I went to the github page for battery-historian https://github.com/charlestek/battery-historian and in the scripts folder, there is a year old version of historian.py.

So I guess in order to get the latest script compatible with 7.1, I would have to install Java on my Windows machine (which I don't really want to, I'd have to uninstall afterward as it is a security risk)

and install GO, which I never used.

I tried googling, but cannot find a download of the latest historian.py for 7.1

Does anyone know if there is a place I can download it, instead of having to install java and compile the stuff????

Also, when and if I do get a proper historian.py script, Visual Studio 2016 on my machine already has Python 3.4 installed, though I don't know if it is globally visible in Win 10, or only inside Visual Studio.

According to the instructions historian.py will only work if run against a Python 2.x interpreter. I don't know if I can install multiple versions of Python side by side on Windows 10.

[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] wraithewok:
I have seen quite a few questions about this in the other threads so I though I would go ahead and post my solution.

This was tested on my FRD-L04 running the stock *b162 firmware, rooted with magisk v11.1, and using the $40 straight talk "unlimited" plan. I cannot promise or guarantee that this method will work with any other model or firmware.

First, If you are using magisk, flash the module I will link to below. If you are NOT using magisk, you will have to modify your build.prop manually. You will need to add the line

"net.tethering.noprovision=true"

Second, with a root enabled file browser, you need to go into the /system/app/ folder and delete the folder named "ATTEntitle"

Reboot and tether should be working fine!

Are you on EMUI 5? I didn't think it was possible to install magisk on EMUI 5. Is tethering included in your Straighttalk Plan? I am on 5Gb Data+Talk+Text on L04 rooted with TWRP 3.1.0-0

Thanks for moving this out of TWRP. What version of the OS (full vers. # and also please, the hardware model and straight talk plan)?

I've been looking at it but can only do so for Nougat via CM 14.1 code, which until someone tells me it works (Never tried it), I'm not sure it's the right place to look, but with Honor's crappy support and zero source policy, it's what we have.

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] mossief1965:
Quick question I have the wifi only version, when I install viber and activate it using my phone number it deactivates it on my phone. With my old tablet it was active on both my phone and tablet. It looks like viber is seeing my mediapad as a phone rather than a tablet. Any way around this?

EDIT: Solved by changing dpi using adb
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] Trueman777:
Can you please tell how exactly you solved the problem, what did you do?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] mossief1965:
I did so because viber wasn't seeing my tablet as a tablet but as a phone. When I activated viber on there it would deactivate on my phone when it should have been active on both. Chrome was also seeing the tablet as a phone and using it's phone interface rather than tablet interface.

To solve this I connected the tablet to my PC and ran the following command "adb shell wm density 325" which sets the dpi of the tablet screen to 325 which Viber and Chrome recognise as a tablet. The problem is this has to be done on each reboot or chrome will revert to phone interface. Viber only needs this done once.

Did you ever turn the phone on with a Verizon SIM card in it?

Did the phone ever connect to the Verizon network?

Was this phone purchased as an upgrade or new line on Verizon?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] cabegol:
1) No, I the VZW sim was removed prior to turn in it on.

2) No

3) Upgrade

I hope this helps. I wish someone with a Project Fi SIM could try this on a "non-virgin" VZW phone and see what happens.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] LoliSmith:
I think this is key!!!

Someone on reddit is going to try but someone on the Pixel XL XDA forum says they are on Project Fi with a Verizon Pixel and OEM unlocking is grayed out.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] cabegol:
Maybe I just got lucky...But I do agree, removing the SIM before turning on the phone may have been the cause.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] LoliSmith:
On the Pixel XL forum, jcase stated that the phones have to connect to the google servers to be unlocked:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71548073&postcount=49

My guess is if this is reproducible, that the first time the google servers see a Pixel activated if they see it with a Project Fi SIM in it, it enables the OEM unlocking somehow. Your MAC was connected to the internet when you were issuing the fastboot commands to unlock so the phone could have been connecting to Google through your MAC.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71562112&postcount=47

There was no SIM in it when you were issuing the fastboot commands? Or was a Project Fi SIM in it when you were issuing the fastboot commands?

I purchased Verizon Pixel on eBay few days ago and it came with inactivated Verizon sim. I don't have Project Fi sim to play with. I am using the phone with T-Mobile service. At the moment OEM Unlocking is grayed out.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] LoliSmith:
So you did this:

1) Bought a brand new Pixel from Verizon on an upgrade;

2) Removed the Verizon SIM card without plugging in or turning on the phone;

3) Placed an active Google Fi SIM in the device;

4) Activated the device, it was running 7.1.1 out of the box - OEM unlocking was grayed out;

5) Attempted unsuccessfully to unlock the bootloader;

6) Took an OTA over the Google Fi network and factory reset the device.

After Step 6, OEM unlocking was no longer grayed out and the Pixel could be unlocked.

It seems to me that the important part is that the device had never been turned on with the Verizon SIM in it and the first time the device communicated with the google servers was with an active Google Fi SIM in it.

---------- Post added at 01:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

I think the key is that the first time the device communicates with the Google servers, an active Google Fi SIM needs to be in the device. What we need is what jcase said - a "virgin" Verizon Pixel that has never been turned on. Pop the SIM out of it, put an active Google Fi SIM in it and turn it on. Let it check for updates so that the first time the Google servers see the device, it has an active Google Fi SIM in it.

---------- Post added at 01:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 AM ----------

Yeah, I don't think that will work. I think if this works it is because the very first time the device communicates with the google servers there is an active Google Fi SIM in the device.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
When I got the phone, I didn't check the sim tray because I thought it is Google Edition(I asked the seller before purchasing) and the tray is empty. After connecting to WiFi and going through setup, I realized that there is a sim. After opening the tray, I saw Verizon sim, but it didn't have a service, it was new card. So you think that I am a bit late for making OEM unlocking available?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] LoliSmith:

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
I have seen/read those treads. I also tried resetting and setting up the device with T-Mobile and AT&T sim cards, but still OEM Unlocking was grayed out. If the first sim decides the faith of OEM Unlocking option, then most likely my device contacted Google servers with inactivated Verizon sim in it. :(
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] LoliSmith:
The only other thing you could try is to do a backup and then factory reset with the Google Fi SIM in the device. Then activate with the Google Fi SIM in the device. Then restore from your backup later.

This is weird. I got my device in November and I've never activated it on VZW, only on Project Fi, although I did buy it from them. I have always had the option grayed out and I've taken all the OTA thru March. I don't know why or how your device got unlocked but if you do want an unlocked phone then you're in luck. If this was common it would be screamed all over the place but it's not. So obviously it's an extremely rare occurrence which is not reproducible. I've not seen one other person that did what you did successfully. There is a Reddit thread somewhere about this and I'd like to look at it. Perhaps I'm wrong in that others have done what you have but this is certainly not common.

I'll search for the Reddit thread but if someone has the link that would be helpful. NVM, I found it.

I had mine come with 7.1 as a RMA (Verizon model confirmed via CID). When i got it, before turning it on for the first time i put in my T Mob sim. When i turend it on, skipped account sign in, went to dev settings and OEM unlocking was able to be checked. Checked it, rebooted to BT then unlocked. Then manually flashed Feb Update (installed twrp and all that jazz for a few weeks) then when O came out, i manually flashed it.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] LoliSmith:
Was your device ever turned on with the Verizon SIM in it?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
I really doubt this is sim related. My theory is no matter what sim is in it....it phones home to Google to see if it is allowed to unlock. The one that was on FI is just another example of the handful we have seen from VZ that are mismarked or misconfigured and the posters got lucky.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
No doubt about it as far as I can tell. If this were sim related everyone would have known by now.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] LoliSmith:
Definitely a possibility but OP said that OEM unlocking was grayed out at first then after he activate on Google Fi and took the OTA, it was no longer grayed out.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
They are all grayed out until they get a data connection.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] LoliSmith:
Ah, so then what may have happened to OP is that he got one of the devices that were not properly flashed at the factory to have not unlockable bootloaders and he never was connected to WiFi or cellular until the device connected through the Google Fi SIM. Then the OEM unlocking was no longer grayed out.

I have never had an active SIM card in mine but have connected via WiFi and an OTA was downloaded. But OEM unlocking remained grayed out.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
You have a Verizon Phone, so yea it is in Google's database that it is not unlockable.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] LoliSmith:
The OP of this thread had a Verizon Pixel as did the OP of this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/pixel/help/phone-verizon-7-1-1-unlockable-t3577438

Yet both phones were unlockable without using depixel8. The question is why.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] cabegol:
Guys,

I do not want to confuse anyone. Just shared my experience with you because I felt it could help someone.

My phone was connected to WiFi to download the March update (with no SIM in it at all). After the update was completed, the oem unlock option was still greyed (Wifi was connected again). So, data was available on the phone via Wifi all along the process.

The unlock option only became available after a the Project Fi was configured on the phone (and yes, that was the first SIM ever inserted in the phone).

Again, not trying to complicate things but, it is becoming clear that I just got lucky. The mechanism, though, seems to be unknown.
