I have the Verizon version pixel and after update into the 7.1.2 update I lost VOLTE . ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS ISSUE?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] krelvinaz:
Nope. Got 7.1.2 the other day. Still have VoLTE.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] JAYNO20:
I was hoping the 7.1.2 update would fix the issue I keep having with "server not reachable" if VOLTE is on. Anyone have any input on that?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] xankriz:
I have a Google Play purchased Pixel XL on Verizon and I also lost VoLTE in 7.1.2. It is still not back after the May security patch.

Press *#*#4636#*#* in the phone dialer and go into phone info and see if volte is turned off. Mine was , someone here in the forum recommend this fix for me and it worked .
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] P1cksFR:
Hey guys, I'm kind of stuck here...A customer came to me with a Galaxy tab a t550 which at first I thought the touchscreen was dead, but after a few clicking around it appears that the touchscreen is inversed...

I'm pretty sure that it's because of a bad Kernel flash (apparently 6.0 kernel instead of 5.0) but I can't find a way around it...

I tried the "unbrick fw" on another post but I keep getting a "failed" result...

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thx!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] karch4:
Anyone know of a plugin or other program that places a power button right on the today screen or the bar at the top? I could not find anything on the site. I had something like this in a Palm version in a previous phone.

It would be nice to tap a power button as I finish tapping away at whatever application I am using at the time.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] grizzley:
A power button to shut down the phone? Or a power button to put the phone to sleep?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hendrixus:
Here though no freeware ($2,99)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Gpx85:
If you install Quick Menu (damn good app - try and find it on this site by searching a little bit) you'll also find the "reboot" link.

Dunno if it is interesting for ye but it really is a fundamental app I'd suggest everyone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] KMFM$:
Have you looked at psShutXP? It can be placed on the today screen (task area) and gives you the options to turn off the screen, fully shutdown, soft reset, and hard reset the device. Grab it here for the Kaiser.

Just run the .cab, run the .exe, and in the windows that pops up select "Today Icon" for it to display on the Today screen. :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] acboydston:
Spb Pocket Plus will also enable you to do this. Of course it also has a ton of other, very substantial features. IMO, well worth the money.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] tracerit:
I'm contemplating getting the regular s8 or s8+ depending on the battery. The s8 is what I want but curious if the extra 500mah is offset by the large display on the s8+
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jer21:
Since they were announce on the 29th, reviewers generally test the new phones out for around 2 weeks, sometimes longer in order to get a real world view of how the phone performs. I'd say we'll start seeing some mid-late next week.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] galaxys:
Yep, Stay Tuned...Around 3rd week of April!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tsukihi:
Closest thing we probably have right now is The YouTube Tech Guy's one week later with the S8+. He hits pretty much all the points, goes in-depth in multiple videos on almost every aspect of the phone.

EDIT: Except for Bixby :^)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] eklips:
s8 & s8+ youtube battery review here: https://youtu.be/X7P5xqKsce4
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tsukihi:
Weird. Looks like XEETECHCARE has 5h 50m for the standard S8 and over 7h on the S8+, however The YouTube Tech Guy has 5h 50m on the S8+.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Sevael:
Mixed results on the same phone are not uncommon. You can take two of the same model phone and restore them both from the same backup and use them both with the same routine and get different results. Just as two of the same PC processors can have different overclocking results, smartphone SoCs and batteries are just as random when it comes to performance. The components are so tiny that any little imperfection in manufacturing can impact performance slightly, so no two will be 100% identical.

Usage must be considered. Everyone claims their smartphone usage is 'normal' yet no two people use their phones the same way.

There are also external factors, such as reception quality. Where I work, the reception is terrible. I have multiple accounts on sync, location services on 'accurate' and weather widgets and the works. On weekdays when I'm working, battery life is much worse than when I am at home or out around town on the weekends.

There are just too many variables to get a definitive number. The best gauge will be an overall average from regular users with real-world usage. And we won't have that info until the phones have been out for a while.

Whatever the case, I can't see the S8/S8+ having "bad" battery life. Samsung can't afford a mistake like that right now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tsukihi:
I mean, 5h 50m SoT is pretty much the standard if not a bit above average. At the very least, we know that Tech Guy watched YouTube videos and played games for over an hour each, as well as split screen. Another factor might be SD vs Exynos, but the difference shouldn't be too drastic.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] pedodroid:
XEETECHCARE has the Exynos version, youtube tech guy, i think, lives in the US so he would have the Snapdragon 835 version.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
Youtube Tech Guy does it with an S8 and not an S8+. I went to his YouTube channel and all I see is for the S8 and not the S8+. So if they both averages 5h 50m that isn't too bad for the S8. I haven't seen anyone sporting times for the S8+ other than XEETECHCARE so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tsukihi:
Tech guy actually specifies it's on the + and it's in the video title..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] richhaynes:
Bigger screen = more power use = bigger battery

I think really you answered your own question haha
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
I saw it, and from what I can tell it is going to be hard to say as two different people have different "normal" usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tsukihi:
Only time can tell, really. Personally I'm waiting for a review from Flossy or MKBHD.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
Normally for me if MKBHD says something like 6-7 hours I generally get about that. I am going to assume we have similar habits. I will be happy with that personally.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] cantenna:
My problem with the S8; it more comparable to the S7 Edge than the S8+ is to the S7 edge and with that in mind, it doesn't seem like there is much of an improvement at all, in fact, it's more like a downgrade in hardware given the difference in the battery... this perspective is what led me to deciding on the S8+

If the S8 had the same capacity as the S8+ i would have choosen the S8, i prefer the higher ppi, plan to do lots of vr but i dont know that ill notice that much of a difference reduced ppi
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mweinbach:
nope. most reviewers got their devices already. Most like to make sure that they give everyone a good response before posting it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mannequin:
there's an embargo. nobody is allowed to talk about and show the US SD model as firmware is not final. all videos you see on YouTube are Exynos models (some are even not the retail hardware) that run preliminary firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mweinbach:
not true. this video from everything apple pro, he has a SM-G950U model. That is Snapdragon.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzLUP7dT1Ec
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mannequin:
i see that he is in Canada so he probably doesn't care (or actually violating something but it's not a review by all means. not to mention cringeworthy biased towards Apple comments ). that's the only SD video out right now i guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] km8j:
So when does embargo end
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mweinbach:
If there is one, which i dont think there is, it would be on the 21st of April or sooner.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
probably this friday simply because they started shipping their orders today and those people should get it no later than Friday.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mannequin:
of course there's an embargo.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] km8j:
Lol no one shipped today
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Sevael:
They started shipping on Tuesday in Canada. People who reserved the phone through their carriers have already been called and told that the phone is in stock at their local outlet and they can come pick it up on Monday.

Those getting it shipped directly to their homes could be receiving it as early as today (Thursday).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
You mean from the carriers or from samsung.com?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Sevael:
Carriers. But it seems that nobody getting home delivery has had theirs shipped out yet, so now we'd be lucky just to get it on Monday like everybody else.

I'm definitely not falling for that scam again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Bxrider117:
You will see reviews pop up next week. All our favorite reviewers will drop their 8 to 10 minute videos by Wednesday. I'm sure they have them now. This is to build momentum and get the people who have not already preordered the S8 or S8+ to buy the phone.

I remember when the pixel dropped reviewers put up videos like 2-3 days before they were available publicly.

Just be patient young grasshopper.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Illrigger:
T-Mo is sending ship notices, but since it's Thursday and they are sending UPS 2nd Day Air for most orders (and UPS does not deliver on Saturdays), Monday is likely, perhaps Tuesday if they don't do their pickups today. Maybe if someone paid extra for next day delivery they might get it tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
I have not seen a ship notice from anywhere other than a text that they'll START shipping next week Wednesday.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Illrigger:
The thread has some people's shipping emails now.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jpinks:
The youtube video reviews have been most positive, I do wish we could have some mainstream reviews as there are a couple of those guys who do seem to shoot pretty straight on the info. So there must be an embargo for them to be so silent. Does that make anyone else nervous that they arent talking even on social media?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mweinbach:
uh, i just learned something. There is no embargo for reviews. None of the reviewers have the devices or are doing longer reviews. This is from a source close to samsung's marketing department.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] techguyone:
Look out for GSMArena, I've found their reviews to be very good.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BarryH_GEG:
Samsung always emargos reviews until launch day. Reviewers have said it themselves in their reviews. It's likely even more true in the S8's case because of the Bixby Voice flame-out.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ChazzMatt:
Your source is wrong. There's no way Samsung has not given devices to all the major publications like Forbes, Verge, etc. They have to sign NDAs and can't say anything until specific date or they don't get NEXT year's devices. ;) Even LG did this with the LG G6. Even though LG was leaking their own information, all those publications could say was what LG was saying -- they could not chime in with their own personal experience until the NDA data passed.

Suddenly then all these reviews popped up "We've been testing the LG G6 for the past two weeks..." WHAT? Yes, because they were not allowed to disclose that until the NDA date expired.

Exactly. Especially after the Note 7 flame out, they will be giving TONS of reviewers these devices to put through their own thorough testing so that when it launches (launch = release date, when you can actually hold it and buy it, not when it's "announced") it will not only be Samsung saying this device is safe, but also lots of professional reviewers.

It also gives Samsung some control. If a reviewer has a question about how something works, he has the TIME to ask Samsung to clarify. He's not under pressure to publish a half-baked review just to beat someone else.

If Samsung didn't give devices for review prior to launch, every reviewer would mess with it for 5 minutes and publish a "review" just to get something online -- to beat the competition. That would hurt Samsung, not help them. Especially some of these reviewers who LOVE iPhones and only touch Androids when they are forced to do reviews of new phones . cough -

- cough.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] krabman:
Yeah, they're under embargo. Brownlee for instance uses one in his bluetooth 5 video to demo one of the new features of bluetooth 5.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
from the looks of it seems like it had more to do with the song he played than an embargo. I have public videos with music in the background(people outside) and I have been tagged before.

[Samsung Gear S3] MrBrady:
On my phone I use Google Voice for everything. Calls, SMS, MMS, etc. The phone is setup to use my GV number as the default "send" number. However when I send a text via Gear S3, it uses my cellular number instead of my GV number. I'm assuming it's because the Gear App on my phone is actually sending the SMS, not the default messaging app on my phone.

Is there any way around this?
[Samsung Gear S3] afblangley:
Do you have the BT or LTE S3?
[Samsung Gear S3] MrBrady:
Bluetooth/WiFi
[Samsung Gear S3] afblangley:
I can tell my experience, although it may not be 100% applicable to you. I use GV to share my number across multiple devices, including a Frontier LTE, but not paired to a phone.

All of your contacts' numbers have GV assigned alias/shadow numbers. When one of those numbers is used from a phone listed on your GV account, your GV CID is presented instead of the phone's CID. The GV app automates this process for Android and iOS devices, but it can be done manually. And this is necessary for Windows Phone, landlines, dumb phones, Tizen, etc.

I've captured the alias numbers for my contacts and added it to their profile. Which is available to any device that can access Google contacts. So when I call or text someone from the watch, I tap their alias number instead of their actual number. My watch isn't connected to a phone, so it goes out using the Tizen dialer and messaging app.

I generally use Hangouts for messaging. These are passed through to the watch, just like other notifications. I can respond to these from the watch and it stays in the Hangouts thread, which preserves the GV CID. But I cannot initiate a new Hangouts thread from the watch.

I don't know exactly how the process may be different for the BT only S3. I think most of what I've said should apply.

Is there a specific site to report Android bugs? I've seen the AOSP site, but is this the same one used by Google to take bug reports for Android users?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Blueyed1:
Can the battery indicator in settings>battery be reset to default without resetting/restoring the phone to factory defaults ?

When I got the phone the time/hours remaining, was larger than it is now, at a certain procentage of remaining battery. I believe that the software has learned how many hours the battery will last at "my usage", but I guess it will take some time to unlearn if "my usage" gets less and increase the hours of battery time.

I hope it makes sense :)

Maybe it doesn't work that way at all :D
