[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Androx:
Still searching for this phone at a good price. Anybody hear of anything? Does anybody know of a way to get the AT&T deal in Canada. I heard you can get it for cheap but you have to sign up for a plan. My problem is I live in Canada and AT&T doesnt provide here. Is there a way of somehow being sneaky and getting around this??

thanks in advance!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] m4dc4tuk:
Try CEX. I got mine from the Nottingham store brand new £275.00!

They sell them in various grades A,B,C depending on condition and what accessories they have.

Visit their website for a list of all their stores. I believe they have opened a couple in the US as well. You can also buy online and your phone will be shipped from which ever store has them in stock.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cescof:
Hello Everybody,

We all now that galaxy S2 had Android Nougat, that is incredible if we think about other phones which are of the same age but most of them are dead. However, some of us had performances issues with this latest version of android, and this is ugly, because we can't use an unusable phone, do you agree?

So, i am trying to know which is for you, in terms of performances and stability, the best build ever created for this phone, obviously with nougat.

You can quote roms (Los, RR, AICP, Xenon, and all the others...) and (important) say which build for you was the best

If possible, try to say in which period you buyed your S2, because exynos soc had, as like all the other phones, some revisions and they could change performances between a build or another

Is there a way to have continuous Edge Lighting after you've received a notification? I understand it might be a power drain, but the current mode just lights the phone up once which kinda defeats the purpose imo. Anyone know about any apps or other methods to make this happen?

I understand some people are having difficulties getting Edge Lighting to work at all. For me it works with some stock-apps, but not Whatsapp for example. I`m guessing future updates will take care of that.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bckrupps:
Mine works great but i totally agree this is one feature i would give up some battery for. Would love it to stay on longer. Same border effect playing music on Stock Samsung music player with the screen on if you want to download it and check it out. Pretty cool.

Okay so the video that plays when the demo handset is idel- it's of a whale swimming in the ocean with lots of bubbles.

Anyone knows where I can download that video in it's best quality?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Success100:
I tried to find it. It is actually available on Samsung's retail demo website. However you have to install the APK file.....

So I installed it and come to find out it is a application that completely takes over the phone. You cannot remove the Samsung retail app. It runs in the background and u cannot stop it. The ONLY way to remove it without connecting to ADB is to hard reset it...Which is what I had to do.

Hopefully someone can post the full resolution video file
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] D3vr04:
Man that is a lot more information than I had. You paid the price by having to do a hard reset. Thank you so much. You just laid the ground work -Now we know where to find the video file.

Extracting it in a format we can use (or loss less converting) is the next step.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mmeidl78:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Success100:
Yep that's it. There may be a way to download the video without the retail mode app. However after I hosed my phone I never went back to try to download it again

DO NOT INSTALL IT
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] D3vr04:

Just shrink the dpi settings from the 411 stock. Go to developer options, if you don't have it enable it by going to settings, about this phone and tapping the build number a few times.

Then developer options in the bottom of settings. In drawing options you'll find the number. Change lower to increase all sizes. Don't go too low. 380 maybe. Try it out
[Remix OS for PC] ouro898:
Remix OS is a wonderful project. I've been playing Android games on my old laptop and they run smoothly, barely dropping below 50 fps (just my estimate), and very seldom lags. What's more is I can play via ethernet cable if I wanted to.

I'm just curious, is there a way to live stream your Android games using Remix OS? Has anyone tried it and succeeded?

I tried using the YouTube Gaming app and it doesn't seem to work. The other 3rd party live streaming apps also failed on me. My only option is to mirror the gameplay to my tablet using Inkwire and livestream using the tablet, but the problem is that it causes delay. Is there a workaround to make the livestreaming apps work on Remix OS?

I think for battery life more inclined to cusrom s7e. I've compared with cusrom port s8, with the use of almost the same, cusrom s7e gives more battery life. This is an example of my use in superman rom using superkernel (more tweaks). But all returned to their respective usage patterns.

[Huawei Y625 Questions & Answers] ggmsagor:
Hello,

Phone: Huawei Y625 U-32

When I am turning ON the phone, it is opening normally, and logo appears, then the tone (huawei sound) plays. AND SUDDENLY appearing the "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen [with the "reset" button]

When I touched the "Reset" button, it takes me to the "recovery Menu" and I pressed on the "wipe data/factory reset", then it completed and then I pressed the "reboot system". It turned on SAME way, and AGAIN appears that "Encryption Unsuccessful".

Note1: when the "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen appears, then I can take screenshot, up/down volume, turn off/reboot (same UI like we use the phone normally)

Note2: The recovery Menu shows the firmware version ....567B105, even I tried all versions of the firmware (328B105, 567B108, etc)

Note3 : I checked the Chinese menu (Volume Down + Power button). And the camera, touch screen, sound, all are ok.

PLEASE HELP ME TO RECOVERY MY PHONE. I am trying this for a long time. But it is showing SAME thing again and again.

So, I am requesting all experts to HELP ME.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] gqukyo:
Anyone try to update their S8 to the day one update of QD9? I bought the Verizon version but using it on Tmobile through MintSim so my only option to update it is through the VZW Software Upgrade Assistance pos software. It sees and downloads the update fine. However, when it reboots the phone to the "Downloading...." screen, after a while I get a "Odin Protocol version error!" I rebooted the phone and tried again but to no avail.

*Edit* So, I just had to update the VZW software to the newest version and then that fixed it. The update went through fine. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] AdamIsYou:
I've had my Verizon S8 since Friday and accepted the QD9 update later that evening. The only change I can tell is that the ability to legitimately remap the Bixby button has been removed. Sorry brother if that was your plan.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] antawnm26:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] eoga:
For future updates you may want to use Samsung Smart Switch instead than VZW software. I have the s8 verizon version with a different company and wasnt able to update until i tried with this Samsung software and I find it easier and probably better than the VZW app.

The updated VZW software is nicer and worked fine. I'll look into the Samsung software next time.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nelwyn2:
So I was disappointed to find out the camera has the same limitations on video as previous phones such as 10 minute limit and certain functions being disabled. I've tried other 3rd party camera apps but they don't seem to fully support the S8. Certain things like 60fps in 1080p don't even show up in the ones I've tried. It's probably too early yet to ask for a modded camera apk, but I hope we get one soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] choccy31:
I'm upset that as far as I know the camera app won't shoot in automode in RAW.

It's a pain if you want to take a quick photo in RAW.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Harshaanl:
That's a bummer hey. But i do know if you go into pro mode and set everything in pro mode to auto ... ( yes you can do that ) .

Then just have to open camera and enter pro mode and take a pic.

Also one work around is just add pro mode to your home screen .

Obviously have to unlock your device and click on that icon then ( so will take the same amount of time if you just switched to pro mode in the camera app.)

I am intending to buy my S8 in Latin America - but only if the processor is Exynos so it can be rooted. The S7 last year was Exynos but I see that, although Canada had Exynos on the S7, the S8 is now Snapdragon. How can I be sure what processor is in the S8 if I look at one in a shop? On my S7 the only way I have found to check is by using a 3rd party app, such as Phone Info or CPU-z. Obviously, I won't be able to install a 3rd party app in the shop. I won't trust what the salesman says. How can I be sure? Otherwise I will have to import one from the UK which will probably end up costing me more.

Now that many of you have the S8, is there anything on the box or in Settings or elsewhere that says what processor you have?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] philipone69:
Not Sure (idiocracy) :))))). I have a european model and it has a label witch states that is to be sold only in europem....

[LG G6 Accessories] mhill1986:
DBrand just released its new dragon skin today, and I think it looks incredible. They're also offering 20% off site wide today, so it's a good day to order if you want one. This is my first DBrand skin, so I'll post my thoughts after I get it. I really wish I had the black G6 now, because I think that would have looked even better, but I'm still excited to put it on my platinum version.
[LG G6 Accessories] Obscure Reference:
Ordered some for myself and my wife as well. :)

It'll be interesting to see if it actually is grippy since they bragged about that when releasing it.
[LG G6 Accessories] Poloki:
I like the dragon skin a lot. I was able to get just the pieces to go around the cameras. It was pointless to get front and back because I already have a case covering back (so it wouldn't be seen) and tempered glass on front, which has slots cut out for camera and speaker, so the skin would lay flat.
[LG G6 Accessories] mhill1986:
I got it for the back and the camera. I have tempered glass on the front, but if the skin is as grippy as they say it is, I might use the phone without a case a little bit more...Maybe...I'm also waiting for Best Buy to get the Speck Presidio Grip in stock so I can see how that looks/feels.
[LG G6 Accessories] mhill1986:
Yeah, I'm really hoping for some significant grip.
[LG G6 Accessories] Juice3250:
I also bought the dragon dbrand skin for the back and camera. I'm hoping to be able to use it without a case at times when I'm home. Whenever I leave home, the case will always be on it.
[LG G6 Accessories] mhill1986:
Here are a couple pictures I took of the skin on my platinum G6. It isn't as grippy as I thought it would be, but I still really like it.
[LG G6 Accessories] Obscure Reference:
Nice! Same feel as their other skins with just another pattern?
[LG G6 Accessories] mhill1986:
Sorry, this is my first DBrand skin, so I can't comment on that. They claim this is their grippiest skin.
[LG G6 Accessories] Obscure Reference:
What's the material like? I was hoping they'd start with a rubberized skin at some point.
[LG G6 Accessories] mhill1986:
It is so thin, it does not feel rubberized...maybe a tiny bit of tackiness to it. You can feel the texture of it--slightly rough. I guess I might compare it to a textured leather feel. It might add more grip if it went around the sides of the phone, but as is, I don't think it adds a ton of grip, though I am more confident that it won't slide out of my pocket when I'm sitting.
[LG G6 Accessories] Obscure Reference:
Sounds pretty close to their old skins then. Maybe the pattern gives a bit more grip. Looking forward to trying it out when it arrives.

Cheers mate!
[LG G6 Accessories] chanakyashah:
DBrand Leather

I just got mine! Leather Back with Matte Yellow Camera. The leather back isn't as grippy as I thought it would be but still better than before.
[LG G6 Accessories] Obscure Reference:
Nice! :)

I've had their leather skin before and yeah, it's not all that grippy. Neither were their wood or matte either. Sounds like the dragon skin isn't revolutionary either, but it might be a bit better at least.

Looks nice though. :)
[LG G6 Accessories] chanakyashah:
I think I should have gone with Slickwraps, I think the leather feel is more genuine with them.
[LG G6 Accessories] Obscure Reference:
Well yeah, they've got actual real leather as well. ?
[LG G6 Accessories] Obscure Reference:
Got mine the other day, pretty nice. Not quite as grippy as I'd hoped but it helps a bit and protects against scratches at least.

Looks good though. :)
[LG G6 Accessories] chanakyashah:
What's the point now :(
[LG G6 Accessories] Obscure Reference:
I'm actually considering removing mine again and just keeping the part for the cameras​.

It looks good and provides great scratch resistance but not really that much grip really. In some cases I actually think it's more slippery than the naked glass back. Depends on if your fingers are dry out not I guess.

Still deciding. It makes for a harder fit in some cases as well.

This is an fix I've find for my Z Ultra, maybe It works for

your's too.

When I lift up a little bit the USB-Port, the Prox-sensor

worked again.

You can slightly push with your fingertip or with an USB cable plugged in.

When this makes the sensor working, put a little thin piece of plastic direct right under the USB Port.

Put It between the USB Port and the bezel, so that the USB connector stays that little up.

You can give feedback if it works or not.

Hey. You're a god damn artist!

I tried your idea earlier today before I put my phone together and I didn't really put any effort to it.

I reset the value to default in the app and made a call to see what would happen. Before the screen just went dark as soon as I pressed the dial button. But now the screen stays on and shuts off if I hover my finger over the sensor and turns back on when I remove the finger.
