[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bsweetness:
Had the S8+ for a week, and there's a lot I liked about the phone. But I just kept wanting to come back to the Pixel XL. I though the water resistance, wireless charging and microSD card slot (as well as my love for the Note 7) would be enough to get back on a Samsung device, but there's just something about the Pixel XL.

One big thing I couldn't get used to versus the XL was the camera. The camera on the S8+, especially in low light, falls short of the Pixel. I took over one hundred shots with both, and I only preferred the S8+ image on less than 10 (all of which were outdoors in bright light).
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] robstunner:
For sure, one thing that the pixel XL nails is the photos. But the Samsung will do 10 second manual exposures so you can go crazy with low light stills.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] thenessus:
Low light still are relevant for a tiny minority of people
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] robstunner:
Correct, still I noticed that. Pixel won't match that.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] syphern:
I went the other way I refunded my S8 and bought a Pixel XL - several reasons:

1. Input lag is still really bad on Samsung phones

2. Updates - looking at Android O - Honestly it will take like 1 year for the update to come to S8

3. Screen of the S8 novelty wore off after a few days, its a really strange resolution videos look weird.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] robstunner:
I sent mine back yesterday as well. It's an incredible phone, and I'll miss it but for the few hundred I'll lose selling my Pixel, it wasn't worth it. Camera, updates, software are still better on the Pixel. Plus, with my old s7e the battery life was incredible with the first update, but every new update it had the battery got worse and worse. I can see the same thing happening with the s8.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
I'm having a difficult time deciding between the two still, as it turns out.

I bought another Pixel XL and received it over the weekend, but it's really strange/difficult adjusting to the smaller display. It's definitely easier to use when reaching top UI elements, but otherwise I really appreciate the insane amount of reading/scrolling real-estate the S8+ provides. Pixel is definitely smoother than my S8+, but it's not freezing up or anything, only dropping frames, and that could get improved upon with updates later on. But the S8 is faster in terms of raw performance and load times. Cameras are mostly neck & neck... but Pixel does edge out slightly, especially with dynamic range. I love Samsung Pay, AOD, and some of the system added features Samsung puts in, but stock Android will always be my preference.

Not really sure what to do. Today is my last chance to return the S8+, but I feel like doing so would be a downgrade in some ways. Forever wishing for the day the perfect phone is made... maybe the Pixel 2 will finally deliver.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] syphern:
So I had a s8 and have to say I love the pixel XL and glad I got the s8 refunded. Few points...

1. S8 curved display is amazing BUT try typing or swyping on it oh my god it's frustrating as the keys are right on the edge past the curve

2. Pixel will get android o and am looking forward to that.

3. Dropped frames for a phone that's so advanced I found it to be frustrating in terms of dropped frames. I often found as I type fast one or two keys weren't registered so had to go back etc and type again

4. S8 I had to get a case and guess what it adds bezels to the phone lol without the case you drop it and that's it high chance it's cracked.

5. Samsung's app store is so frustrating. To use the hdr Amazon video you download it from the Samsung app store. Also the themes are crap and cost a ton in their app store.

6. Forced bixby I like Google now but bixby is so crap and to have a button for it just takes the pie. Sure you can remap it but I read it can further cause slow downs of the phone

Anyway overall I appreciate pixel XL I had a chance with the s8 but honestly it was hype that made me get it in the first place. Some amazing features but remember without good software all that hardware goes to waste you can marvel on a quadhd super dooper amoled all you want but you will be frustrated if it's a jittery mess.

Lastly my take on Samsung would be for them to make a nexus phone like they did back in the day. Samsung hardware and Google software and watch the phone sell like hotcakes.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
That's what I always say. You can have all the top hardware in the world...but if the software is only average it won't mean anything

I understand that you have been burned by Note phones, but denying reality is only detrimental to your cause.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] pcriz:
I don't have a cause. At least not one that is going to live or die on XDA.

I haven't been burned by any phone. I'm pretty objective when it comes to phones and the issues users are having with the pixel between here, Reddit, Google's own forums are pretty evident.

No, no phone is perfect but a lot of the people here like to pretend the Pixel/Nexus is while trying to talk down about other OEMs. Well the house is made of glass.

Fast updates are awesome until you are how many months in and your phone still doesn't keep a decent BT connection to your car stereo.

I actually agree with you

Enable Google Assistant on Marshmallow & Nougat [root] & [no root Samsung only]

Hi everyone,

A lot of you guys may still not Google Assistant on your Android 7.0 Nougat and Android 6.0 Marshmallow devices but I have just discover a trick to enable it on your phone :D

This method is tested on my Sony Xperia Z2 and Samsung A3 (2017)

What you need is

CCSWE App Manager (ROOT) for rooted devices.

CCSWE App Manager (SAMSUNG) for Samsung ONLY

Open the app and search for Google app, press on Google Assistant and press show icon, now back to the home screen and search for the Google Assistant in the app drawer and launch it, finish the setup and it should now work, also with long press home gesture, after that you can also hide the Google Assistant icon if you don't want to see it ;)

If it works write your below your phone's Android Version and model and don't forget to hit the Thanks button :highfive:

Also many thanks for Cory Charlton for his great app
[General Topics] ehab.ali:

[General Topics] a.hamameh96:
That's strange :confused:
[General Topics] HaikalNajwan452:

Okay. So I have followed your method using the CCSWE App Manager. I have the Assistant app now. But when I run it, it says "The Google Assistant isn't available on this device". Could you help me on that? My device is Samsung Galaxy J5 2015 SM-J500G.

[General Topics] ShawnShyGuy:
Hey, hope I'm not bumping an old thread, but I got a bit of a weird situation here.

So I downloaded the app (samsung one, I have an on5) and I actually managed to get assistant to show on the app drawer, but when I clicked it, it says "app not installed" and when you open the google app next it hides the icon from the drawer again.

Again, phone is Samsung Galaxy On5. Any way to get Assistant working on here?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] vikingalle:
I have no idea if this is normal or not, so i have to ask.

When switching on the 'Display network speed' to see the speed it looks like the wifi is working all the time. I tried to deactivate the apps that was running (snapchat, messenger and so on) but it still downloading. It shows speeds from 70B/s to 150B/s. Even when lockscreen is turned on its working. Speeds going from 140B/s to 300B/s.

Doesnt this affect the batterylife if wifi is constantly working?

[Xposed General] wambooo23:
Hi all!

So I recently bought a Cubot Max but cant get any Xposed Modules to work!

Specs:

Cubot Max

Android 6.0

FW v11

arm64

I got the zip and apk off the official thread and used the latest sdk23 arm64 version obviously.

I mainly need the modules "Youtube Adawy" and "Youtube background playback".

But for the sake of testing if the issue is a result of incompatibility I also installed the modules

"PinNotif" and "SlideBack".

None of them worked.

The UI of "SlideBack" seemd to work properly while the UI of Youtube Adaway said that the app was not actived, even tho i tried it several times.

The log file read "cannot read log/data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/log/error.log: open failed: ENOENT" so i created the missing txt file and gave it - rw rw permissions.

Does anyone has a clue what causes this problem?

greets
[Xposed General] Optimus1207:
Exactly I am also facing the same problem.
[Xposed General] davespagnol:
Same here

Can we have a thread to get the Cubot Max working with Xposed? A 500+ page general thread is difficult to follow. Thanks!
[Xposed General] davespagnol:
Success!

I did it! This is what I did.

The problem is that there is a firmware error which affects a number of MTK6735 phones and stops Xposed from working. You have to install another module called grorkmod first, but this will not work if you have previously tried to install Xposed. So what I did was set the phone back to its initial state (after backing up data etc.).

1. Download the Custom TWRP and the Cubot Max official ROM from here:

mod edit: link removed

2. Unrar the official ROM, and, using SP Flash Tool, set to "Format and Download", Flash the ROM in full. You will now have an unrooted, untouched factory-set phone.

3. When I did this, the Firmware version (Build Number) was V04 — check this through your system settings as my phone originally arrived with Build Number V09. So, after unzipping the TWRP download, I had to use the older version of the Scatter file. So use SP Flash Tool again, and Flash TWRP and reboot the phone, you will have an unrooted phone but with TWRP installed. Do the usual stuff with becoming a developer and changing the necessary permissions.

4. Now you can transfer files to your phone's memory.

UPDATE-SuperSU-xxx,zip

grorkmod_v1.1+lite.zip

xposed-v87-sdk23-arm64.zip

XposedInstaller_3.1.1.apk

5. Boot to Recovery, and, from TWRP:

(a) Install UPDATE-SuperSU-xxx.zip but do not reboot.

(b) Clear Dalvik cache etc

(c) Install grorkmod do not reboot.

(d) Install xposed — this time reboot.

6. Run your file manager and attempt to install the .apk file. If you are diverted to give permission for this, change the settings and do it again.

Hope this helps.

Hi guys,

I have my G4 over a year and I'm happy with it,I like the design,performance,camera...

I unlocked the bootloader right after I bought it,because I like trying new roms,kernels etc...

But,it has a 505 sn and I'm afraid of that famous bootloop,I still have a valid warranty (2 years in EU) but I bought it second hand,it was 1 month old so it's questionable if they would except it.

I saw today on MediaMarkt site an discount for Moto Z Play,it's 279€ and I'm going to Germany next week,so I could buy it...

I would like to hear your opinions about it,it seems a very good phone,especially for that price.I read a few recensions,everything is nice,maybe the photos taken in low light aren't soo good but I can live with that.

And I like Motorola in general,they have a good batteries,nice design,pure android system...

Hi,

I use the GSM codes alot, for exemple #21# to cancel call forwarding, etc. I find it faster than drilling down menus. When I call directly or thru the contacts manager (I made contacts for the codes), everything goes fine. If however I map the contact to the quick dial slot on the home menu OR in a quick dial slot on a cube, the phone gives me an error message. Anyone has a solution?

Also, I recently installed a profile manager with the ability to launch programs with command line parameter when certain conditions are met (I would like the phone to initiate call forwarding when the AC is plugged in), anyone know how I can initiate a call to a specific number (gsm code in my case) from the command line?

Thanks for your help
