[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
1) Right, with Galaxy S7, I saw that carriers were faster with updates, but with S8 the situation could change as I have read somewhere that Samsung promised timely updates.

2) I personally don't see any signal strength issues, so I am fine with that.

3) Would be good to have their RCS feature, but I believe not every phone has that + the other end should also have compatible device. DIGITS app can still be downloaded, I guess and used regardless.

4) HD voice should be supported by unlocked S8, is it true?

So in all of the above features I would like to use #3. It is interesting why T-Mobile can't make RCS + other features work on unlocked unit? The hardware is the same and I believe the software is too(pretty much). Also if #1 will be true this year and S8 from carriers will get updates faster, then I would flash the phone.

Greetings,

I tried to downgrade from Nougat to Marshmallow. If I install stock Nougat ROM via Odin it works. As soon as I install TWRP Recovery and lets say "KryxxOS" it just dont boot. No animated samsung logo just the first static logo and no progress.

If I flash a Nougat based ROM it boots perfectly again.

Anyone might help me there? Am I missing something that I cant downgrade ?

Thanks! :)

Robin
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cosmic Blue:
you can downgrade to Marshmellow.

First back uip your phone as you will lose everything on your phone to downgrade.

using TWRP, go into wipe - advanced and select all the partitions except microsd card.swipe to wipe.

It will delete all the operating system including bootloader and mode. Your phone will have no operating system and will just bootloop if you try to use it.

Then boot into download mode and flash your desired marshmellow rom.

Let odin reboot the phone and you should have a working marshmellow rom on your phone.

You will then need reload all your programs including TWRP.

Make sure that this what you want to do as this advise only and i take no responsibility if you decide to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mautz001:
Hay,

thanks. I did it exactly as you said. I am able to boot up stock marshmallpow but as soon as I try a custom ROM it just hangs. Tried 2 different...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cosmic Blue:
what custom rtom are you trying to install and did you follow the rom maker instructions exactly.

All you may need to do after flash is do a simple data wipe or cache cleaning to allow the custom rom to work.

Good Morning-

I am sure the answer to this question is here somewhere, but after multiple searches I have not been able to come up with the answer - so if someone could maybe just point me in the right direction...

I currently have a customer who travels a lot. She uses her calendar to keep track of appointments, however, the minute she steps off the plane - her phone automatically adjusts to the new time zone and immediately all of her appointments are incorrect (due to the calendar not adjusting with the clock) The phone is currently a Samsung Blackjack (smartphone) Does anyone have any insight on how I might resolve this - rather inexpensively?

I love the immersive mode option for YouTube, but would also love that option for Netflix as well. Is there a developer option to force apps or at least give the option to select immersive mode?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Majin101:
The app itself allows you to adjust the screen. Just hit the screen button on the bottom right
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] JDM9499:
Yeah, I know about Netflix's option, but it retains the aspect ratio. I'm talking about Samsungs option to force the immersive mode, like other apps and YouTube allows.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] elcidroyale:
My phone was on Nougat & rooted with Magisk. Everything was fine until I flashed viper4android. Then I looked at my phone & it was shut off. I tried to turn it back on and stuck on boot screen.

I flashed (ODIN) TWRP, stock Nougat, then Marshmallow rom (one with 4 separate files , then single file). They all passed the flash but still stuck on that screen. When I flashed the recovery it said android not se enforcing. When I flashed stock rom, it didn't say that. In both cases stuck on same boot screen.

Help!

Hey there. I don't own this phone but my friend in another country does. They don't have great tech support so I thought I'd ask here. For some reason her mobile data button is greyed out. It's on, but not allowing her to turn it off. Anyone know what could be the problem? I've attached two screens that might be useful but they're in Russian. Any help would be great, thanks.
[LG K10 Questions & Answers] Krystiannnnnn:
Isn't that WiFI?

Anyway it is LOCKED, this means that is can not be turned off. Does he installed any program that locks WiFi? Also tell him to check WiFi/mobile data settings.
[LG K10 Questions & Answers] Habulda:
No, wifi is on but mobile data is still used. It seems like it has higher preference over wifi. Everything is straight out of the box with no user installed apps.
[LG K10 Questions & Answers] Krystiannnnnn:
Hmmmm

Turn off phone > Take out SIM card > Turn on phone > Turn off WiFi > reset developer settings > Take in SIM card > restart phone.

Also you said that mobile data has got bigger preference than WiFi. In that case make sure that option 'switch to mobile data' is turned off (see ss).

If this won't work, I think that she may need to reset factory settings.

Also when this problem occurred?
[LG K10 Questions & Answers] Habulda:
Ok will try that, but I've been looking around and there's an update for it I think so we'll do that first and see if anything happens.

And this was pretty much straight out of the box. Bought the phone, came home, started setup, turned on wifi and then all that she sees later is that her mobile data is gone.
[LG K10 Questions & Answers] Professor Woland:
Well, did he/she tried to connect to other WiFi network, what happenes then? I know it's not up to WiFi but I'm curious what will happen.

[Repurposing Old Devices] Acoustichayes:
So as the title says, I'm wondering if it is possible to convert an old device into a bridge for smart lights/accessories.

I have a plethora of different smart lights in my house that I have a phillips hue bridge for. I was planning to start adding these things to the office and would really rather not have to buy another bridge for there as well because I am lazy and very frugal with my spending. (Made many of my own home controlled led strips using a wireless ballast because phillips charges an arm and a leg for led strips)

I haven't done a lot of research besides a quick google as I am busy with other projects today. But as far as my understanding goes, the bridges are just bonafied wireless access points with proprietary firmware. And I know the phillips hue bridges have been rooted and whatnot before. So I was just wondering if this was possible, and if anyone has tried it before
[Repurposing Old Devices] daniel_loft:
I don't know very much about home automation or smart lights but, as far as I know, some of them use zigbee or Z-wave. For those you need a bridge or at least repurpose something on which you can add interfaces for those means of communication.

Just my 2 cents...

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] wangdaning:
I say no for a few reasons:

1. Lack of custom roms to bring features I have come to enjoy (customizable statusbar, enhanced security/privacy features, hardware button control...)

2. and 3. xposed does not work on nougat, which brings many features. Also, we lack custom kernels and magisk is not compatible with our kernel, so we can't use that either.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] Axims:
So ,

1- lack of custom roms

2- no xposed features

3- ..

anyone else care to comment ( pro/con) ?

I'm sure people who had tried B3xx firmwares , have a thing or two to say about it?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] #Henkate:
I've tried official B340 before I've unlocked the bootloader.

Downsides of Nougat update:

1) There's no Xposed, although Xposed doesn't seems to work properly on EMUI 4.1 (Xprivacy has issues and I'm using only that module, at least for now).

2) The kernel source for Nougat isn't published yet which means no custom kernels. I wonder if Huawei will release it...

3) The overall performance / smoothness is downgraded compared to EMUI 4.1. There were noticeable lag which wasn't present on EMUI 4.1.

4) There's no official rollback update and people would have to unlock their bootloader, install TWRP and restore the TWRP backup of EMUI 4.1...

Now I'm on LOS13 and I don't think I'll switch to EMUI again. Also, my next phone will be Moto, Nexus (if it has sdcard) or OnePlus. Never Huawei again!

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] Axims:
Don't you all think that these problems have something to do with the

fact that these roms are still beta ?

Do you see yourself trying the final version when it's released,

or you're done with it?!
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] rodlane:
I would definitely say it's the beta status. Every phone has issues as they are migrated to the next Android version. This is specifically what beta testing is for. I am tempted to update, but I really don't have problems right now and updating will most definitely bring problems. Also, this phone has been built with marshmallow as its OS.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] virusdunil:
not shure its still beta...they.re official releases from Huawei/carrier

once flashed to nougat,youre doomed,,,there is no way back to MM (by the official method/witout rooting or twrping...even if huawei say so !

If there is a way , PLEASE TELL ME:silly:
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] rodlane:
The updater icon for b330 definitely suggests that it's a beta. View attachment 4169505
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] Axims:
Official and Beta are not contradictory afaik. I think most of these problems mentioned above will be ironed out in final release . however , I'm inclined to agree with rodlane about "phones work better with android version they've released to market". I've experienced this with many phones I've changed since android 2.x days till now.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] #Henkate:
I'm on latest firmware since yesterday's evening (B350) and I think it's better than B340, but I might say this too soon.

I've just seen that EMUI 5 has 1gb swap (zram) compared to EMUI 4.1 which has 512mb or so. I guess that's why EMUI 5 has more free ram.

1gb zram seems too much in my opinion and maybe that's why I had some lags on B340. Indeed, there's more free ram, but I think I've never used the ram fully.

I'm wondering if the other phones with Snapdragon 625 + 3gb ram has 1gb zram on Nougat, but I doubt.

I don't know what is thinking Huawei, but they should have a reason for increasing the zram that much though.

PS: They still didn't release the kernel source for EMUI 5 and neither the rollback update... I'm disappointed.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] Axims:
So , all in all, you consider B350 got better than previous release?

Did you got it via ota or downloaded from servers ?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] #Henkate:
Yes, I'd say that is better than B340.

I'm still running it right now and I haven't encountered lags since I'm using it, unlike B340 where I've had some lags.

I think the battery drains faster, but I'm not sure yet though. Some days ago I had 5h 40m SOT and 33% left but I've did some gaming too.

I'll see what SOT (screen on time) I'll get today, without gaming.

I've got B350 through Settings > System update, so I guess it's official. I had to relock the bootloader before. I can't make a very detailed guide right now, but I'll do it when I have time. Here's how I've did it:

1) I've downloaded B340 firmware from HERE, only those two files:

update.zip
update_data_full_CAN-L11_hw_eu.zip

2) Then I've extracted update.zip and then recovery.img from update.app with Huawei Update Extractor app. I've also put the update.app from update.zip into "dload" folder on SD Card.

3) I've restored the backup of B100 by [MENTION=6009323]bluesmoothie[/MENTION] (system + data + boot).

4) I've rebooted the phone and skipped the setup wizard.

5) Then I've rebooted to fastboot to flash the stock recovery.img extracted at step 2).

6) Now I've rebooted the phone again and skipped the setup wizard.

7) I've dialed *#*#2846579#*#* and went to Software Upgrade > SDCard Upgrade.

8) Now the phone gets rebooted and B340 will be installed.

9) After B340 was installed, I was stuck at huawei logo (bootloop) and I've wiped data and cache in stock recovery in order to fix this.

Once the phone boot, you'll have locked bootloader. You can verify that in fastboot.

10) Now I've deleted update.app from dload folder and extracted update_data_full_CAN-L11_hw_eu.zip. Then I've copied all the files to dload folder and repeated the step 7).

11) Then I've went to Settings > System update and it found B350 update, which I've installed.

[MENTION=4507230]Axims[/MENTION]

I've attached my SOT from today, running on B350. I've only did browsing + Skype and telegram. It seems to be fine, but I think it may be lower than on MM. On EMUI 4.1 I used to get 8-9h SOT with the same usage.

But on EMUI 4.1 I didn't have any gapps, while at this moment I still have some "left overs" on EMUI 5 as I disn't remove them completely and sometimes I'm getting notification that Play Services are not installed, so that means some wakelocks which may drain the battery.

So, overall the battery backup is okay.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] Axims:
Good to hear there's some improvement . well, sort of! maybe in the next update they'd be able to seal most of this leakage. although, I'd say +/- of about an hour or less should not be a deal braker, considering.

Henkate, thank you very much for this description, it allowed me to move back from Lineageos 13 to stock. However, I was not able to install B340, the recovery gave me an error.

Now I do not have the recovery extracted from update.app (I am on mac, no extract tool). I used another stock recovery I found in another package. Maybe this is why it does not work.
