[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] bagged00:
I agree that it's not the most comfortable position to put either left or right hand on the finger print sensor. But to me the left hand is easier. I also don't always have my finger on the finger print sensor, just briefly to unlock the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] galaxys:
Neither, I use a kickstand! (Anker)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Gary02468:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Shuthefrontdoor:
Left here and hold with my right hand
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Bautinho88:
Left handed and hold smartphone only in left hand. Fingerprint sensor position is quite well for me. No problems. With right hand I would hardly reach the fingerprint sensor
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ewokuk:
right handed, hold with left since i will be tapping with the right. which also means the fingerprint scanner is in the dumbest position possible, all the way to the left where i cant reach without compleely adjusting my grip, so i basically end up picking it up with my left, grabbing it with my right while i feel for the scanner, then re-adjusting my grip with the left once unlocked. if the scanner was on the other side it wouldnt be a problem. I guess Samsung think most of the world are left handed (it is actually only 10% so the placement couldn't be much more stupid).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] BladeMaverick:
I generally switch between hands as the need arises. I pocket my phone in my left pocket, and try to fingerprint unlock the device when I want to pull it out. It is a little awkward - especially with the otterbox case that makes the phone massive. When in normal use, I usually go one-handed with my right hand, when I want to type I hold with my left and type with my right.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] BereanPK:
Actually I use my right foot... LOL.

Seriously though, right-hand dominant, I hold the phone (and pick it up) very often with right hand, and love how the fingerprint sensor is spaced, my index finger just naturally gravitates in the sensor area. But I do agree that even lefties should have little problem, since this sensor is miles ahead of my old Note 4 which you had to slide across the sensor. S8+'s sensor seems to allow for multiple planes of finger position.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] psufan5:
Right handed, always hold phone in left. Using a case helped with the fingerprint scanner because I can feel where it begins much easier now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] rflieger:
It works fine for me. Right handed, hold in left hand. My left index finger falls right on the sensor. I don't get all the complaints here and in reviews. Maybe it helps that I captured the fingerprint in the position I'm holding it (rather than flat on a table with the phone face down, for example). Almost like I captured the side of the finger tip. It works great.

I agree about the case. It guides my fingertip into the exact place.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
I hold it in my left hand, and I am left handed. I actually hold the phone a little higher than most people. I actually like where the sensor is because of how I hold my phone.

1. Code (Text): dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota Now press enter, and write down another code.

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] Klanac89:
I bought the Z2 for backup device and flash Lineage OS. 64GB/4GB with Snapdragon 820 and big battery for 150€...

I think with stock rom I will not buy it, even for 100€.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] optimumpro:
I wouldn't trust some no name Chinese analyst. And even if this is true, they will still continue to support Zuk devices for a few years, like Nokia did. And to those who complain, I have a special deal for you: right now you can get Xperia XZ, a similar device, which is available for preorder at some change: 749 euros. http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_xz_premium_eu_preorders_open_next_week_at__euro749-news-24774.php And keep in mind, on custom roms you will have a camera quality of a feature phone. Although, Sony isn't going anywhere, they abandon their devices after 2 versions of Android. So, if Xperia XZ was released with MM, that means, they will abandon the device after Android O, which means next year :) Good luck...
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] ar_15:
my main concern is not about updates because we have some awesome devs like you that will keep our device updated with custom ROMs, my concern is actually that we may not have any 5-inch phone with snap 835 for a really good price since now it seems 5.5-inch is the standard.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] jho55:
If you plan to use it for 2 or 3 years, you should wait what is around in 3 years and not in half a year. ;)
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] ar_15:
I plan on using it until it starts becoming problematic. Could be months or years.

My previous phone (Zenfone) started having a lot of problems in 8 months and I didn't use custom ROMs on it, it was just the stock ROM all along and a lot of problems. If my ZUK Z2 starts showing problems and I can't fix, I will want to buy another phone with at least the same specs and size, so I hope they release another "budget" until then.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] t-to4st:
Hi guys, I'm thinking about flashing Resurrection Remix on my OP3T.

Since I have about 6gb of music & pictures, I'd like to make a Nandroid backup of them, then flash RR, GApps and then the pictures and music.

So my question: Is it possible to take a nandroid backup (or similar backups using TWRP) of only selected folders, since copying to my PC takes much longer.

Thanks!
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
Pictures and music are typically saved on the internal storage, which doesn't get backed up by a nandroid. The internal storage is untouched during a ROM flash, and the pictures and music should remain. Internal storage would only be affected, if you specifically go into the TWRP "Advanced" Wipe options, and select to wipe internal storage. So just make sure you don't do that (the default wipe is normally all that is needed - cache, Dalvik and user data). Remember that TWRP backups are also saved on the internal storage, so it would be crazy for storage to be wiped as default during a ROM flash (you wouldn't have a way to retain any nandroids).

I would still suggest backing up your pics and music to your PC (just connect the phone, and copy and paste the files) before flashing a ROM; as things don't always go as they should, and it's always good to backup anything important to you, to an "off phone" location. Some folks may think this is a bit paranoid, but better safe than sorry, and IMO it's worth taking the extra few minutes.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] t-to4st:
Ok thank you very much! Sometimes thinking over problems solves them really fast *facepalm*
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
No worries. It's confusing to think about. I once saw a person post that nandroids

include

internal storage, and since that is where nandroids are saved, you actually get nandroids within nandroids. I had to respond that it doesn't work that way!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Artemis-kun:
Not sure if this issue is specific to the ROM I'm running or what, but has anyone else noticed that the call recording just randomly tries to turn on when taking calls?

My setup is as follows, 'Kate' device running LOS 13.0-20170301 with Radon kernel (though it did this with the stock LOS kernel too) and it happens fairly intermittently, but I can't figure out how it's happening. What happens is I'll be on a call, and suddenly my phone will vibrate once, and the 'enable call recording' pop up is displayed on my screen. I can only assume that somehow the proximity sensor randomly turns the screen on and my cheek hits the call recording button, as I'm being very cautious about not hitting any buttons, or even the touch sensor on the back, in case one of these things triggers it.

I guess the next question I'd have, does anyone know what sort of shortcuts could enable call recording? I guess my next step if this doesn't ring any bells will be to try and catch it on a logcat.

I was looking at this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XSVS3Q8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3R1VQULIG8BTW

I was wondering if anyone knows of any of these that are also good protection. What I'm looking for is a case that has a ring attached that is flush with the case. None of the ones I looked at looked like good cases. Some are flush, others aren't. I really like the idea of the case with a ring because traveling on the subway to/from work only means you have one hand to use the device.

Have you checked aliexpress? I just looked and they have some good looking ring cases. For the price I'd try.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computerslayer:
Hi there,

Quick note before answering your question: posting your IMEI is a bit risky - best to edit your original post to remove it.

To your question: your SKU (apparently 69) isn't one I've seen around XDA. A quick search reveals only one other instance of that SKU being mentioned here. Unfortunately, it seems that your only option is to pay for access to one of the firmware repositories online. If you should do so, please upload a copy for other users here on XDA.

Keep in mind that if the RUU you download has "combined_signed" in it's name, it is a modified file and will only work on your phone if it is S-OFF. Only "signed" RUUs can be used with S-ON.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFoggy:
Hi all,

last week my Pixel C suddenly became totally unresponsive to any touch on the screen. As I thought it was an update or an app that made it unresponsive, using the shortcut commands (POWER + SOUND[-]) I could go into the device recovery menu and reset it to the factory settings. The tablet rebooted and I was presented the initial standard installation menu to select the country for the installation. But still bad luck the screen is unresponsive.

I have then tried to reset to a factory image from developers.google.com/android/images in fastboot mode.

I choosed first the latest one (ryu-n2g47d) but some commands failed

> writing 'bootloader'...
> FAILED (remote: unsupported command)
>
...
> checking version-bootloader...
> FAILED
>
> Device version-bootloader is 'Google_Smaug.7900.27.0'.
> Update requires 'Google_Smaug.7900.50.0'.
>

I then tried the ryu-n4f26o one which contains 'bootloader-dragon-google_smaug.7900.27.0.img' bootloader.

It ended with also some errors:

> ...
> writing 'bootloader'...
> FAILED (remote: unsupported command)
> ...
> erasing 'boot'...
> FAILED (remote: unsupported command)
>

I rebooted the device, but without luck it stays non responsive to any touch action.

Any advice on what I should try next and how?

Thanks for any help & advices.

Sense 7 is not the same as Android 7. Also, it was Sense 8 that was ported from the HTC 10 (and still Android 6).

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Landrea:
Good evening everyone sirs of this fine forum!

So, after a couple of year with iXXXXe (wasn't my choice), I'm now back to Android.

I just bought an Honor 6x, after months of reading online.

I haven't really started to use it yet, that's because I'm a little paranoid.

As you can see in my signature below, I used to have a MOTO G really boosted up, almost reaching perfection.

I like to be in control of everything in my phone before starting to use it.

Here come my questions:

- i installed BETA app by Honor, but at the moment I can't try Nougat, you know why?

- is it useful to unlock the bootloader and root this phone? I've read there are not many ROMS at the moment. What do you think? What would I achieve unlocking the bootloader and rooting?

- Xposed framework and Gravity app are still up? Are they working with my device?

- I really like to have a "clean" phone, like stock: no preinstalled apps, no fancy UI, just the basic. What would you suggest me to do?

- In the end, all said: should I use this Honor "out of the box", or is it worth to spend some time messing with it?

I really looking forward your answers, mates!

Sorry, but I've been outside the world for the past 2 years, I feel like I lost some things in the way.

Bye <3
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] oae08:
I think at this moment its better to use it out of the box as u can uninstall and deactivate all apps u dont need. With root you will not get much new roms and features but only root useful apps such as ad blocker and such.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] MadMurl0c:
I would recommend to use it out if the box too, I had installed the nougat update and rooted it for AdAway but now I am back on the latest official update without root and it works fine although I miss my ad blocker :D

Thank you for your reply.

So for the moment I'm keeping it stock. I'm still on MM, waiting to upgrade to Nougat as soon as I can.
[MENTION=8109983]MadMurl0c[/MENTION] , why did you go back to official? What about rooting after upgrading to N and using ad blocker with the latest official?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] MadMurl0c:
I tried to install Viper4Android but i accidently deleted audio_effects.conf so I decided to go back to stock rom and wait until huawei releases the official Android 7 build. (Another reason was the Bootloader unlocked warning on boot) AdAway worked fine but I don't have anything else about stock to complain about. The only thing that annoys me is that you can't delete system apps without root but you can atleast disable most of them. I hope that answered your Question :)
