[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] GreeleyXda:
Have some questions/concerns. would appreciate some advice

1) So my s8 feels a lot slower on the same wifi network. it also seems to disconnect on me. anybody have a fix for this?

2) I sold my s6 edge because i hated the edge, bought this phone believing the problem would be gone because people were saying the edges are smaller/less drastic. i applied the samsung clear case and i cant seem to figure out the proper way to grab this phone. my fingers always end up on the curve. any advice?

3) my phone came with a sim but i never gave samsung my carrier info, found out after setting my phone up.

whats up with that lol, are they sending blank sims?

4) im mainly using this s8 for my vr, i have a work phone that i use as my main phone. since i removed the sim after finding out it was in there the phone gives me an annoying no sim notification. any way to disable the notification?

5) anybody know a launcher similar to this? https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2724842

basically i want a customizable newsfeed, with an icon that opens up my apps
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] GreeleyXda:
anybody?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] LinS123:
I'll try to help.

1) Check your wifi settings and see if Smart Network Switch is on; although since you are not using a valid SIM I don't think it would disconnect from wifi just because you have a weak signal.

2) The edge on the phone has gotten less drastic since this phone takes a page out of the Note 7 design. The vanilla Samsung clear IMO feels pretty flimsy and it adds almost no protection to the phone (going off the original Note 7 clear case I had) so if you didn't like the grip on the naked device that case was not going to help. I would advise getting a case from a 3rd party maker (Spigen, Ringke, Caseology, Verus, ETC); they have a multitude of cases that help with protection and grip.

3) Probably lol.

4) Just try leaving the blank SIM inside? If that doesn't work, you can long press the notification in the bar and see if you can disable said notification from there.

5) I'm not 100% certain anymore but you can check the play-store and see if the HTC launcher is still in there, I believe that might have Blinkfeed. If not then if you have and Exynos version of the S8 you can just wait for root and if the bootloader is unlocked, flash a ROM with said function; if someone makes one. If you own an SD835 S8; tough luck, sorry.

Out of curiosity what is your wifi router? If it can output a 5GHz signal, you'll probably see a drastic speed improvement.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] GreeleyXda:
I dont see smart network switch in my wifi

yeah the case is kind of slippery, but i really wanted a thin case.

think maybe i'll go back to a tech21 like i had on my note

i'll try that, i think it was trying to make register a phone number tho

some old verizon fios router my parents have.

my speeds arent great but theyre faster on my other phones for some reason

it does not have a 6GHz signal
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
it will be fixed on our mainline versions on the next major update.

Beta versions doesn't support custom codec yet.

you can use the folowing temporary workaround on the main versions to avoid such green screen.

goto Settings » Decoder & change the color space to RGB16 or RGB32

Why don't you just disable notifications for the app?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Trina9:
Blockada has an option to turn off the notification.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Sevael:
Disconnect Pro (in the Galaxy Apps store) is just as effective as root-based ad blockers like AdAway. The catch is that it is pretty expensive. I grabbed it when it was $5 a year or two ago. It goes on sale once in a while.

Apparently Adhell (Google Play Store) is almost as good and is completely free.

Most ad blockers use a VPN, which results in an Android OS notification (key icon) that can only be hidden if you block

all

Android OS notifications, which most people wouldn't want to do.

Oh okay didn't know that

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Sevael:
In earlier versions of Android, we could turn off just the VPN notification and all was good. But somewhere around Lollipop, they changed it so that it's all or nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Zeal415:
Good luck sir. I like to use AdClear, you still get the notification, but I have a widget on my home screen to turn it on and off. It's supposed to bed able to block YouTube ads as well, but I've noticed it's hit and miss.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pl55:
Is there a program/application for scheduling to run an exe every hour, day etc. I want to run application ie. Free Ram (sktools) say every hour in the background - to recover Ram. That would be nice.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shantzg001:
hey pl55, there are many such tools (like runeveryday, search on this forum)

there is another way as well, take a look at my prog (shantztodaychanger, see the sigs), though it is primarily for changing themes every set period of time, it also provides option for running exe's, plus you can block off the theme changing part by putting in the mask option as blank and including all 24 hours in the masked time, so that can also be used for ur purpose.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pl55:
Thanks for that- I've look at Runeveryday - it only do per day not hourly, etc. Will look at your app. Thanks again.

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] darkglobe87:
Hi guys. I need some advice. I've got all the tools to unlock and root my phone ready to go, and am confident in my ability to do it, but I very much want a full backup of my firmware before doing so, because I don't want to lose out on OTA updates when Oreo comes out.

My phone is XT1684 (retgb) and firmware is NPNS25.137-33-11 which I cannot find anywhere. How do I back this up before rooting?? Also, where do the stock ROM fastboot images come from? Is there an official source? Are people extracting them themselves? If so how do I do it?

Lots of questions I know, but since my Moto G3 I've had issues with finding firmware images of the exact version I'm on, and that sucks. I gave up with my G4 and ran lineageOS, happy never to return to stock. But with no official support for the g5, I'd like the option to go back to stock.

Boot TWRP, not flash, take a full backup. Store this backup somewhere safe. This should always be the first step you take before making any changes, including any rooting.

I'm on the same UK phone, having always rooted samsung phones, which are dead easy to restore to original stock using odin, Motorola seems to be a nightmare, way too many mostly inexperienced users totally screwing their phones, limiting usability, personally waiting for official oreo update, then see if I want to go down the twrp/rom road.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] darkglobe87:
I didn't quite do it right. Ended up flashing, now I fear I've lost my OTA abilities for good. My issue with custom ROMs is that my signal never seems as strong, I guess that's possibly a change in baseband?

Or you have made root?

Should I install it as a backup with TWRP? or in what way?

I wonder why I would like to install it for recover OTA updates and for that to happen it is necessary that it be the clean stock ROM (without root or anything) of the XT1685.

Firmware for Moto G5 Plus XT1687

I have a Moto G5 Plus XT1687 currently running Android 7.0 -

Looking for -

1. Stock firmware

2. Oreo Firmware

3. Root for this device

Can you point me in the right direction. Searched on here but not sure which links are the right ones.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
I don't believe that you really searched for that content. If so you would have seen that you are posting in a thread called "All firmwares MotoG5 Plus" and that's point 1 on your list.

Also if you have searched for Oreo firmware you would have found that there is no. Lenovo is yet to release it.

And about rooting: There are two threads in here especially for rooting this device. I recommend the way with magisk. If you search with the keywords "rooting" and "MotoG5 plus" you'll find them.

Hell, even if you search on Google for "rooting Moto G 5 plus XDA" you will be pointed to that threads.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jdushey:
Actually, I found many posts on here related to my question, but they were not definitive answers to what I was looking for.

But in the end, I found a super simple way to root the phone system-less using Magisk. Maybe I'll post the solution.

Hello there, can anyone help me out?

I'm from Germany and my Motorola G5 Plus is on build-Version NPNS25.137-93-4 (softwarechannel "reteu" and Basebandversion POTTER).

I would really appreciate if someone can help me out with a fitting boot.img for this version, so I don't have to completely reset the phone just to unroot it.

Thanks in advance

edit: already tried the boot.img from "POTTER_NPN25.137-92_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml". Turned into bootloop.

Should this normally work? Or would I have to use the boot.img from "POTTER_RETAIL_7.0_NPN25.137-92_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml" in my case?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
If the ending is 92 (+ something) it's firmware for India. Ending with 93 (+ something) is reteu/retus etc. You should look for the exact same firmware you're on. Btw, if you want to unroot to receive OTA you have to flash the whole firmware in most cases because /system has been tampered by something. Just mounting /system r/w is enough to make the OTA fail.

edit:

As far as I know there has no 93-4 firmware been uploaded yet.

edit2:

This one should work:
