[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jal3223:
Apple has got to be the best customer service that I have ever dealt with. Even getting them to repair a phone was like getting a brand new item in the box. Really quick calls as well.

Samsung on the other hand is a complete disaster. Be prepared to be on the phone a good 2 hours anytime you have to give them a call. Also, their repair service is unbelievably terrible as well. I had to send a Note 4 in like 5 times because the screen was separated completely from the frame after they replaced it. It blew my mind how they couldn't get the screen to stay on the frame being that they made the device. They even acted like it was my fault even though I sent pics the same day I would receive the "fixed" phone.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] eminemkh:
Hi Guys, Not sure why but my Pixel XL is now having a dark theme which i did not intend to do so... all the app with white background is now black... in Instagram I can't read the notification because the background turns white (omg)

I rooted the phone and installed Adaway thats all..

Any help will be appreciated
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] audiophile55:
You may have turned on "invert colours". Go to settings- accessibility and check colour inversion toggle. Alternatively, there is also a shortcut tile for "invert colours" which you can toggle after pulling down the status bar.

Do you have substratum installed? It looks like you've simply themed with substratum
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] eminemkh:
Ummm no... I haven't even attempted to do any theme work .. was trying to install twrp and root... Install adaway

All the action doesn't seem to be relevant

I booted into the other slot now my phone lost twrp and root. The colour came back to normal.. thinking should I redo the root..
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mlin:
Okay, weird. Had to ask because it looks like a substratum theme.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mac796:
Did you buy it used because it looks exactly like Swift dark theme I use. I know I have dirty flashed before forgetting to wipe theme and it still shows up in some apps
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] eminemkh:
I did buy it used.

But It was not in dark theme when I get it... Only appears after I install supersu in twrp.

Funny thing is it made Instagram's all white in the notification page.. I wouldn't like this them if it is the case haha

Any fix guys?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mac796:
I would flash factory image just take the -w out of the flash all bat file so it doesn't wipe your data. Or you can just install the substratum app from the play store and there is a recovery zip inside the folder you can flash in TWRP. Just in case it did have a theme installed
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] eminemkh:
Thanks! It is also strange that once I have booted slot B (in twrp) I lost root and twrp ...

Will flash twrp tonight and see try flash the recovery zip you mention.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mac796:
If you're on the newest May factory image with the May bootloader you're going to have to flash chainfire's V3 zip whenever you flash TWRP, SuperSU, or you will lose TWRP and probably loop.

Golf c gave me this guide worked great with su and magisk

to update to May firmware with May bootloader this is how I did it first install may factory firmware with April bootloader's then install your rom and set it up. And root. Then after you root * boot to system. Boot TWRP and install v3 zip. Then Reboot to bootloader and install may bootloader's. Both slots. Then Reboot to system. Good to go. Just remember to flash that v3 zip after you alter boot, like TWRP,magisk,kernel.

You may not have to flash both slots but I did because I have my phone set up that way.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] eminemkh:
Since I was in slot b with no root, i have just ota updated to may.. i believe bootloader is also may now? Sorry for the noob question
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mac796:
Yes so for you to be able to flash root, and TWRP you need chainfire's new v3 zip. Or you need to fastboot April's bootloader's and not worry about it

really read up on the guide tho, essentially you need to flash that zip each time you are about to reboot from recovery or else it will loop.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] eminemkh:
I see, I booted into twrp and installed twrp and reboot to recovery, after that I installed the Su 2.79 and then the boot signature.

It booted and it stuck at the boot animation. Maybe I have done something wrong so I did it again. It loaded into system but developer option not available, notification bar didn't come down.

Eventually I did a factory reset and now my lovely XL is rooted and works fine.

Time for adaway and YouTube background play!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] lootbooper:
It seems like I don't have complete root with magisk? App says root access and it passes safetynet. TiBu fully works. System update detects modification.. Is this because I used twrp to flash magisk12 and the recovery stuck? Will twrp allow you to install while selecting "keep read only"? At what point does Samsung block ota updates if I'm not flashing supersu into system?

I figured since I have twrp now I'd try hotspot initdv6 and it didn't work. I'm confused here! Anyone have magisk fully working and not tripping anything like ota's? Or snap chat.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
If you put a custom recovery on, like TWRP which you use to flash Magisk, you lose the ability to update via OTA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] lootbooper:
So am I able to flash stock recovery or too late? Guess I'm just trying to achieve the impossible lol. I understood magisk can maintain true stock ROM, but as you stated twrp botches it. What gets me now is hotspot patch won't work but it flashes fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Nye-uhls:
From my understanding, you cant have root without a custom recovery and boot image (and with magisk, you wouldnt want to, since you often need to reflash the magiskv12.zip

(the stock recovery is what actually processes ota updates if im not mistaken)

If you want to go back to stock, just odin the latest tar file. If you do it dirty (without wiping data/system/cache/etc first) it usually turns out alright and you get to keep all your apps and stuff, but youll lose root and custom recovery.

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] babycakes:
Hi there

The first time that I have attempted to perform the upgrade to a cooked rom and everything has gone horribly wrong.

A reset (using the pin hole) gives a blank display. Nothing at all.

A hard reset (using pin hole and soft keys) gives the option to perform hard reset by pressing Yes. This then gives HTC logo screen and then system hangs after displaying

IPL 3.13.0001

SPL 1.11.0000

I can go into bootloader screen (pressing two side buttons) and can connect USB. When I try to install factory ROM or any cooked ROM it stops at 2% and gives me an error saying

Error 228 - Invalid File Size

Is there anything I can do to save my device?

Please help.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] premutos:
are you sure that you have the right factory rom?

must be the one that was on your device when you bought it!

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Carty:
Bootloader is not just by pressing two buttons. Press both the buttons and make a soft-reset. When the tri-color screen appears, connect to USB and perform the ROM upgrade again. If it fails, perform the upgrade with a factory ROM. This will bring back your device to working condition.

Next time before flashing, make sure you have applied Hard SPL once.

Regards,

Carty..
[Android General] lukinhasb:
I have a Moto G2 nd generation.

Teorically, it doesn't support 4G, but there's a little "hack" one can do by going to *#*#4636#*#* -> Phone Information and changing preferred network from GSM auto (PRL) to LTE/GSM auto (PRL).

This little hack used to do the trick, but it stopped working with the new Android 6.0 upgrade, even though one can change the settings there, it doesn't affect anything.

Is there any way to bypass this, even if it needs to root the phone?

Thanks a lot.

PS: And for christ's sake, why would they block a capable device of using 4G, of using it?
[Android General] lukinhasb:
Yayyy, I kinda did it.

I was able to enable 4G succesfully, but unfortunately it only lasts until I reboot the phone.

adb shell settings put global preferred_network_mode1 9

adb shell settings put global preferred_network_mode2 11

For reference:

9 = LTE/GSM

11 = GSM/Only

I was able to come up with that with a couple references I found on Stackoverflow and android google source, but as I only have 2 posts (counting with this), I can't post links here.

But whenever I answer calls, it will always redirect to Huawei Watch instead of Axon 7's earpiece. I would not want to turn off the Phone Audio in the bluetooth settings as sometimes I need to make calls from my watch too.

Any ways to answer calls from phone so it will use earpiece as output, answer calls from huawei watch so i can talk via the watch?

Hi,

I just purchased a locked Sprint LG V20 online and I'm just wondering what the best (Cheapest) way to unlock it and use it on a Canadian network.

I've read on some threads when you do the Dirty Santa bootloader unlock, the carrier becomes unlocked as well? (Could someone please explain the exact way how or point me to a thread that can). I also read flashing a US cellular rom on a Sprint model will unlock the phone.

Then there's a method similar to the G5 where you can download the hidden menu dialer apk and unlock it that way.

Hi,

the problem is that while ActiveSync make the connection

it find the Trinity and Trinity recognise the ActiveSync port.

After that, AS does not work anymore and displays "Not connected".

Does the Trinity need to create and "inbound port" when I configure

to add the PC ActiveSync (COM4 for me) port. Because I notice that

it does not create any port. When, on Trinity, I launch AS and choose

"connect with bluetooth" I still get the error message "can't find a partnership..."

Do you have any suggestion?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Emimarson:
Hi guys, last night I trade in my S6 for S7.

That guy told me the phone is sim unlocked, I just need to manually adding APN and it will work. I am too stupid not to try with my sim.

I am in Malaysia, S7 variant should be G930F, but it's G930V, I tried two different carriers with manually input APN but the signal icon still blank with a cross:crying:

Besides, whenever I change network mode, it will revert to Global.

I can't select network operator too.

Is there any method to get it works with my local carrier? Flash rom from G930V to G930U or change IMEI will works?

phones out of country with other networks, and att USA since note 2 came out.

I currently have s7 too and it travelled with me out of country as well no problems, I get 4g in most places, if not 3g until I can get to fast WiFi.

Ur carrier data bands must not be matching or phones damaged, in my expert opinion.

Once u put other carriers sim u either request carrier to send u apn via text msg where u just open it and it gives u option to save it.

Or the Sim itself will/should have those settings in it. And upon inserting sim then going to where apns are added, u may be able to select it.

A quick Google of bands of ur network can tell u, but I'm optimistic only a very few bands are missing off g930v/g935v

Edit: Yes Verizon phones work on gsm in global mode

There is another option in there LTE/GSM/UMTS

U will have to experiment between global or the one above mentioned, does the trick for me all the time

It really doesn't look that bad. The pics were taken with a 13w daylight sitting a couple of feet away using a six hundred dollar point and shoot. Which exaggerates how much it stands out. I'd put it up there with the gaudiness of carbon fiber or that new dragonskin stuff dbrand is pushing. Meaning I totally get where you are coming from. When I see people putting those gaudy skins on their phone, I wonder why they are compelled to buy it. Especially when they do nothing for the grip.

A good effort on a difficult task.

I've been using the custom skins from dbrand (https://dbrand.com/) on my last two phones and now on the Pixel XL. These skins are precise beyond belief, so the challenge is installing it on your phone. The adhesive does allow "peel up and retry", so mostly it's just patience that's needed.

The quality is excellent and they have wide range of materials and colors to choose from. I've order black carbon fiber for my Pixel XL ($9.99) and will post a pic once its installed.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] phermey:
That's just it though. They don't have a wide range of materials. It's all the same thing. Vinyl sheets cut out with a laser cutter. They are all slick, and none of them are anywhere near in the same ball park as this.

Post your pics if you want. Seen em all before. Used em all too. Dbrand is a hype machine. Form over function.
