[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] LoliSmith:
But are we sure that the hardware is the same for all US models and it is as simple as flashing the appropriate firmware to get them working on other carriers?

Also, if you buy the Verizon model, it will never work on Sprint since Sprint won't whitelist it.

If you are on Sprint and you buy any other model but Sprint's model, it will not work on Sprint because Sprint won't whitelist it.

If you buy Verizon's model, it will be unlocked out of the box and if it is like the S7/7E, you can flash the GSM carrier's firmware to it and use it on the GSM carriers. But it will never work on Sprint for the reasons I stated.

It's not the same at all. With the iPhone 7, it has the firmware to run on all 4 networks. That has never been true of the Samsung androids. They only have the firmware to run on the particular carrier they are branded for.

Although the Verizon S7/7E is SIM unlocked, it won't work properly on the GSM carriers without flashing the firmware for the GSM carriers. We won't know whether you can do that for the S8/8+ until they are released. However, the Verizon model will never work on Sprint because Sprint will not whitelist the Verizon model. In contrast, Sprint will whitelist the Verizon iPhones since they have the firmware to run on all 4 carriers.

It's totally different with iPhones than with Androids.

[Moto G4 Guides, News, & Discussion] ethancwhite:
So I recently bought the Moto G4 Amazon Prime Edition(Lock screen Ads and Offers) and had been searching through forums on a way to remove them. Now I know there are plenty of threads on how to remove them but me being not very tech savvy was having a hard time. After the Android 7.0 Nougat update I came across a hidden feature called System UI Tuner. Inside this hidden feature was a setting called Power Notifications. I enabled this feature and tested it out. After a bit of toying with it I discovered you can set app notifications to Level 0 which meant no notifications would be received. I went to the Amazon Offers app in the Notification settings and changed it to block all notifications on the lock screen, when i went to change it to Level 0 I discovered it was stopped from doing so, I could change notifications from level 1 to level 5, but not to level 0. I shut off the screen and powered it back on and whaddya know, all lock screen ads were gone. Here are the steps in detail.

Method #1

1. Pull down the notification shade from the home screen.

2. See the Settings cogwheel at the top right hand corner? Tap and hold on it for around 10 seconds.

3. Once you let go after 10 seconds, you’ll be taken straight to the Settings app with a prompt saying that System UI Tuner has been enabled.

4. You can access the new entry by scrolling all the way down in Settings.

5. Once your in System UI Tuner select the Other option

6. In the Other section select Power notification controls

7. Enable Power notification controls by pressing the little slider on the screen.

8. Now that you have enabled this, go into Settings and then into Notifications

9. Scroll through your list of apps and select Amazon Offers

10. Press the green A to the left of the slider and drag the slider to Level 1

11. Right Below the slider is an option that says "On the lock screen"

12. Press this and select "dont show notifications at all".

You have now removed the ads from the lockscreen of your Moto G4. Hope this method helped you and feel free to leave feedback

Method #2

1. Install Clean Master from the Play Store

2. Open Clean Master and select the 4 squared button at the bottom of the screen that says Tools

3. Under the Useful Shortcuts tab, select Notification Cleaner.

4. Grant the necessary permissions and Enable this feature.

5. Those annoying lock screen ads will now be removed as long as this app is installed.

6. You can go 1 step further and use the same process above and remove notifications from Clean Master.

7. Your phone will now have no ads and no notifications from Clean Master saying you have blocked ads.

Hope this method helped, Feel free to leave feedback :)

[Moto G4 Guides, News, & Discussion] ethancwhite:
did you move both the slider and set the lock screen bar to "receive no notifications? Also is your phone updated to Nougat?
[Moto G4 Guides, News, & Discussion] gunsnricar:
Didn't work
[Moto G4 Guides, News, & Discussion] hankvb:
Neither method now works. In the first method no button appears to block notifications and lowest setting is a one. In the second "Amazon Offers" app does not appear in list of apps.
[Moto G4 Guides, News, & Discussion] granny smith:
Method 1 worked for me. Then I rebooted my phone. Now the ads are back after reboot. I then disabled power notifications and then turned it back on and went through all the steps again and the ads are gone again. I'm waiting to see if this will last until I reboot. I don't reboot my phone very often so this could just have to be done after a reboot.

Edit: well that didn't take long. The ads are back after unlocking my phone a couple times. This is for method 1. I haven't tried method 2. It appears Amazon thought about this possibility.

Edit 2: After using my phone for a while with the power notification settings left active it seems that if any other notification is on the lock screen then the Amazon ads notification does not show since it is a level 1 priority. If there are no notifications, then the Amazon ad shows. So method 1 does work if there are any other notifications showing. It is pretty easy to have a notification showing at all times.
[Moto G4 Guides, News, & Discussion] jay_ingale:
method 2 works for me.

However, I started getting persistent clean master notifications. Used method 1 to get rid of clean master notifications. XD

Edit:

Also it'd be helpful to open settings>apps>show system apps (by clicking on three dots)

Now open amazon offers. Scroll to the bottom, click on modify system settings, disable "Allow modify system settings". This should hopefully stop the app from changing notification priorities.
[Moto G4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ned612:
Neither method work with newest versions.

Method 1: slider is controlled by app

Method 2: Due to no notification ad, full screen ad is displayed instead.

Hi guys im planing to s7 edge dual sim version from nexus 6p. My question is can use all the custom roms without sacrificing dual sim option?

And second question is how much average sot can i get using aosp rom with s7 edge?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] andiling:
Both questions do depend on the rom... generally the FD is compatible to F roms and the necessary code for the second sim is included in the F rom as well. As long as a custom rom is based on Samsung rom and not modified regarding that part you should have dual sim.

As for sot you can read some posts here in the forum.

I have watched a few unboxings on Youtube. I see that the S8 and S8+ come with two USB-C adapters, one from micro USB and the other from full USB. None of them have mentioned whether they are OTG compatible. Does anyone know whether either or both support OTG?

The one include with the S7 (micro USB to USB) was OTG capable. Most likely this one is also. Sorry I can't confirm yet.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] comicbookguy72:
in the unboxing i've seen, there at 2 include connectors: a micro usb to usb-c and a fullsize usb-a to usb-c. the picture on page 12 refers to using the included cable and the small adapter to charge the phone (seems odd....). On page 18 there's a diagram showing the other one in use for for device to device data transfer in conjunction with the other phone's usb cable

I plugged USB stick into all my other Samsung phones and it always work, not sure why it wouldn't work on S8, with one exception: phone doesn't recognize NTFS out of the box, but you can download driver and then it works with NTFS as well. But to be honest Android file access is a nightmare IMO, so much simpler to plug the phone into computer and do whatever from Windows, but again be careful, if you move files around, they're not updating right away and you may get confused as to where the files are.

I too am interested in this. I hate the Nougat Keyboard.

I tried installing the marshmalow keyboard, but it wouldn't let me overwrite the Nougat app with the older Marshmallow one.

I tried editing the app name with an Android app that supposedly decompiles the apk and changes its name internally (can't remember the exact term), but it did actually work.

I still think that somebody more knowledgeable than me could edit the name of the app so that non -root users like me and others could install it as an extra app along the Nougat Keyboard.

[P8lite General] PECHOLOBO2001:
Sorry I posted in another section, I will not change it some moderator

Playing I decided to make a setback from the B584 to the B052 (damn idea), well I put the B300 transition file in the dload folder and finish in the ALE-L21C432B300 then update it also copying the dload with the complete B188 by pressing vol + y Vol - at the same time, it was restarted and started to update wait a good while until it restarted again, as is normal to re-update by OTA.

I got the problem my phone left the screen between gray and black, it makes the sound on power up, the keys work and the graph of the mobile phone I think it does not recognize the drivers and it is not seen.

Bootloader works and the touch but not seen (attached photo) connects well with the PC and I can get into fastboot in fact I have recorded the full B052 by fastboot and boot the phone does not see anything but hear the boot sound And the tactile works.

Also if I connect it to the PC I recognize the internal and the Micro SD only with the B052.

Only works (the boot sound is heard but nothing is seen with the B059) and now that is the b596 v2 of sokkoban and wanted to try it who would send me to make the recoil, well that everything is for science and forum: )

Any idea to solve this problem I know that the screen is not new since two months ago rather it will be the partition or something internal Software ?.

Could you repair it from the ODB console, FASTBOOT, ETC.?
[P8lite General] vhristenco:
I had the exactly same issue about a month ago. Solved it by sending the phone to Huawei for repairs.

I don't think it's a driver issue, as they replaced the whole display (among with reinstalling the firmware).

Then you think it's from the screen, if it has not had any hits, it's new for two months, this happened to you when you installed the firmware. thank you very much.

Many thanks to all I have solved it for whatever it is the display but by chance it broke me at the same time I made the recoil, well I will have to spend again € 30 per screen change.

THEME CLOSED thank you.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontbeweakvato:
I wonder if the shield can, through a custom kernel, adjust rgb, gamma, or color calibration. similar to a nexus 6p with a custom kernel like franco or elementalx i can adjust to a much cooler screen similar to the galaxy series.

Also I saw in the shields display settings there is a dynamic range setting which i changed to full and the screen seemed to have dramatically changed. the darks seemed much darker. i dont have an hdr tv but a sony bravia about 2 yo so i didnt think it was actually hdr but only the output from the shield.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr-tee:
full vs limited is in the range that the device will output colors to the screen. with limited the normal range of 0-255 values per color is limited to 16-235. (256 values per color ^3 equals 16,7million colors (3 colors: RGB)

most particularly (older) tv's won't process the full amount of 16,7m colors, in comparison to monitors which almost always do. Reason why is probably cost, to make them cheap, and to save bandwidth. So they compressed the output, losing some of the detail in between (more like MP3 in comparison to using 160kbps vs 320kbps mp3's, most people won;t notice the difference, but it is there unconsciously)

Anyway. by compressing the range, the tv then stretches these out so that those values become the new white and black. Else everything would look greyish and faded. But now you have less detail because you miss some information, because some of the gradient is missing.

Your TV is set up to the limited range, so that it stretches those to be the new black and white. But when you switch the incoming signal to the full 256 range, the tv will still stretch these as if they were the limited range, and it basically cuts off black and white information, making everything higher contrast but losing a lot of information because it's cut off. And then you'll have to set your TV to full as well, but that's not always possible. Because most tv's can't process more color information.

That's why HDR is such a big improvement, more color information, more visible dark and bright gradients and the overall brightness contrast is wider.

But I think in your case by setting it to full you will get the feeling of more contrast, but essentially you are cutting off a bunch of information. You'll probably notice in dark scenes that you can't see much, because it's clipped out.

If this makes sense to you. (I may have made some mistakes explaining this)

Regarding calibration, you should calibrate your tv in stead. There's no use in calibrating your shield. That's only necessary if you can't control your screen, which TV's can, but phones can't. So mess around with your tv color settings.
