Since now the Pixel seems to be available I have one question. Anyone that has ordered/received a

new Pixel in the last month or sooner, is your build date in 2017?

CC
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] JAYNO20:
My replacement I just got from Google has a February 2017 build date.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] davidisflash:
Yes. It was April. I got it last week. But now because the build is newer, you can't unlock it :(
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Blue1k:
Yup mine was mid March 2017
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] cc999:
unlock

Are you serious? Are you referring to the Verizon model or the Google store purchased?

CC
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] davidisflash:
Verizon
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] cc999:
UPDATE

Since this thread was started I have owned 4 Pixels. 3 purchased on Swappa, the last one just

purchased from Google Store. All 3 purchased from Swappa were purchased in 2017 (seller info) and all

had 2016 build dates. The one I just purchased from the Google store was built 4/2/2017. I can

say without a doubt the one I just received (2017) is the best of the bunch. The Wifi is rock stable, speaker

is very loud. No dropping back the HSPA on ATT like the other 3 did. Reception is much

better than the iphone 7 I was using. No worries on the mic problem (fixed after 1/2017 builds).

I am extremely pleased and this is a keeper.

Solution? Close WhatsApp before sleeping.

Is there a way to connect a kaiser to say a Zune or PSP via Ad-Hoc?

Anyone?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GSLEON3:

Is there a way to change the location of the clock? I'd like it to be further up the screen.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] psxda97:
If you're on MM build you can use a Xposed module called Lock Screen Widget. With this module you can fully customize you're lock screen. Use Zooper or Kustom widget with this module. It's pretty much amazing.

I'm not sure whether it works on OOS.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Eggstones:
Thanks. Do I need to root the devise to make this work?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] psxda97:
So you don't have unlocked boot loader?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Eggstones:
As I am unsure of what actually means I'm going to say no.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] psxda97:
So I'm assuming that you are new to android modding. You have to unlock bootloader to flash custom recovery and root.Only then you can flash xposed.

Update : Wait... You're a senior member but you're telling me that you don't know what a boot-loader is? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Eggstones:
I am very new to it. The status comes form post not knowledge I am afraid.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] psxda97:
In order to root your device first you need to unlock your boot loader then flash a custom recovery.You can flash SuperSU through recovery in order to get root access.

If you're not sure about what you are doing I think you should stay away from Xposed. It's a advanced method to mod your device.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Eggstones:
Might try it on my old phone as a training. Don't want to bring new phone. Thanks for the advice!

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] GatorsUF:
So I am considering getting a Pixel XL to replace my 6P, in doing so my work is also upgrading me from my current "grandfathered UDP" to one of the new Unlimited Plans. I'm cool with this other than the tethering limit of 10gb...I use my phone to tether and stream video on my laptop A LOT. Right now my "grandfathered" plan doesn't know I tether because I am using a Nexus 6P I bought from Google direct.

Can I avoid the 10gb limit by unlocking and flashing stock factory images (so there's no VZW software on the phone) or is it more complicated?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
There is no difference in software between the VZ version and Googles other than some minor tweeks for the network.

You won't be able to unlock the VZ version unless VZ messes up and accidentally sends you a Google version. It has happened, but is rare. Again, software is the same. VZ versions are in a database that the phone checks to see if it is authorized to unlock.

I dont know how to bypass the tethering limit, nor do I know how VZ checks that.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] GatorsUF:
Hmm so the VZW version can't be unlocked with adb? That is likely a deal breaker...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
I don't lay attention to VZ branded phones anymore. I just get Google phones and use them on VZ. So this is an honest question...what VZ phones these days are unlockable/rootable?

Will your employer buy you the Google version? That is what I had mine do for me.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] GatorsUF:
No they won't, but it's all good. I'll just wait for the Pixel 2 and buy it for $800 like I planned on doing originally. A $200 pixel was just hard to pass up...

Just received a 955 U1 as well does anyone know if this is root able since it has an unlocked bootloader?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
It's carrier unlocked not bootloader unlocked. Still not root and most likely won't ever get root+twrp for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Kjc99:
Did last year's snapdragon S7 ever get root? I'm not used to this because all previous Galaxy phones were international, but my carrier is selling the U1 model this time around and not "F" varients... Im not holding my breathe for custom recovery/roms bit would be nice to use titanium backup and ad away...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
The S7 got what we called ENGBOOT root. Which was not really full functioning root. It required you to flash a Samsung created engineering kernel, that is purposely unstable, but is designed to help Samsung repair shops fix corrupt devices.

With some tweaking root was achieved, but the bootloader stayed locked. And the performance was so degraded by the engineering kernel MOST people went back to stock and never used root.

Sadly rooting and ROMing most phones is going away. Especially now that Google is providing an easy way for developers to turn off access to an app if the user is rooted. Right now even if you have root you can't use Netflix, Samsung Pay, Android Pay, among many others.

If you want root still I'd look at a 1+ or the Essential phone or the international model if this phone. Otherwise you are probably out of luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Kjc99:
Since you have been so helpful at crushing my root dreams lol j/k.. Is there a way to get what I'm looking for i.e.

Ad-less youtube

Ad-away

And maybe a way to freeze/uninstall apps

All without being rooted?

Its been a long time since I had a stock phone and the freaking advertisements have gone wild... Thanks I appreciate it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
Yes.

I have been using AdClear for a while now and it works great including in YouTube. The development team has an xda thread that has the downloads and a bunch of great info. Just search xda.

I use BK Package Disabler to freeze apps. It lets you freeze individual processes in apps as well which is great for blocking only certain features of apps. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kunkunsoft.packagedisabler

For making a back to restore I actually like Samsung's Smart Switch. Works great to backup your phone to a computer.

Also in Developer settings you can manually address your DPI, and over in the S8 International threads there is a list of about 40+ fonts that can be installed.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JeffATL:
I have an s8 and s8+ unlocked on TMobile. Want to use on Optus in Australia and then when I return on AT&T. Optus uses band 28 which T-Mobile doesn't . In another thread someone suggeted flashing G950U1 XAA, is this the "plus" equivalent? Assume steps to flash same? Also is this the download: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G955U1/XAA/download/G955U1UEU1AQE3/171775/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ShrekOpher:
You could flash the AT&T firmware and get what you need.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JeffATL:
So AT&T firmware has advantage over this? Will it matter that it has AT&T firmware using on OPTUS Australia?

Awesome. Will flash when I get a chance. Hopefully no issues on OPTUS.

This may seem like a stupid question, and I am assuming the answer is no, but does flashing an official firmware lock it to that carrier ?

No as long as you sim unlock it first there should be no issues

2. Flash twrp using fastboot

3. Reboot twrp recovery

4. Copy stock boot.IMG & stock recovery.IMG

5. Flash stock boot.IMG & stock recovery.IMG in twrp recovery

6. Reboot bootloader

7. Now press volume up to normal boot

I'll definitely try these steps. One of the biggest issues im having is finding the stock Lollipop. Ive tried all the stock firmware at firmware.center. Used twrp to instal from .zip. Where can i find the stock.img? I searched a little today with no luck.

Hi guys! Just wanted to inform there was an update today, new base band is AQEB.

Changelog says it fixed issues with bluetooth and sd stability plus some minor fixes (should have taken a screenshot of it, but as the changes weren't so big i though it wasn't an important update). For now i haven't noticed any big change, today afternoon when i get out of work i will test the bluethooth with my car as i had some issues with the wheel's buttons for skipping songs sometimes working and sometimes it doesn't.

Here is a screen of my phone right now:

Installed it yesterday and since I didn't have any issues with BT (haven't actually used it yet) or SD card I can't say I noticed any differences on these subjects.

But the stock launcher does seem smoother. When I'm opening and closing the app drawer by swiping I don't get the occasional stutter I used to get sometimes.

Hi all.

If possible (I know its a long shot)

Could someone test Glimp app from playstore with a real freestyle libre sensor?

As i have posted in another post up to ACDD the NFC stoped functioning with Freestyle libre sensor (Blood sugar monitoring sensor for diabetes)

The firmware version that was functioning was only the AQCA which i had to role back to in order to have a functioning Glimp in my S8.

A test with this firmware would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

I don't understand why people say "phone runs smooth after update". Are you implying that there are scenarios where an S8 does not run smoothly? What is this nonsense?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] domsch1988:
A matter of perspective. Compared to my 3t the s8 isn't as smooth for sure. It's not that it's stuttering hard or so, but I do have to wait a little longer for certain things to pop up and every no and than scrolling is a bit jittery. Nothing that bothers me really, but every improvement in actual UI speed is very welcome.

Just received the qe1 update on my 920t a few days ago and now I'm losing 4g constantly. The only way to reconnect is to turn airplane mode on and off. I have seen this is a problem with the nougat update. Is anyone else having this problem and does anyone have a solution? I've tried everything I can think of to help and nothing works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] OnnoJ:
I have not noticed any change after the update...

4G stable as ever!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] DeeXii:
How did you flash? Did you update over the last update? Did you use smart switch?

When ever I hear of people (or myself) runs into problems after an update I usually suggest a full wipe with TWRP. (this includes the system partition)

Starting fresh and Odining the latest firmware is the best way to go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] bogarty:
Not sure how this could have happened. If anything the QE1 update was supposed to have fixed some call issues. You can always try reflashing the QE1 modem from HERE though and see if that fixes it. If not you can try reflashing the firmware with Odin from the "Sammobile" site. If that doesn't fix the issue either then you always can always try goung back to QC6 either from Sammobile or, if you happen to be rooted, then simply by flashing my QC6 Lite Rom.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nupi:
Since yesterday my camera makes clinking noises and cannot properly focus anymore. I suspect the OIS mechanism somehow got broken which sounds like I would have to do an RMA, right? Did anyone ever experience something similar?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] h0LLe:
my fathers samsung s6 camera sometimes has problems with ois. sometimes while video recording the ois goes nuts and the pictures shakes and the camera makes a rattling noise. after a few moments its ok. as it is a mechanical moving part, maybe something gets broken or some kinda dirt gets in the wrong place.

maybe you can slap the device against the palm of your hand a few times, maybe the ois will get loose and can work again as it should.. other then that, yeah, i would go for a rma.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
It's a laughably common problem... Do you have an A2017U? It's not like I did research but all of the devices with broken OIS that I've seen are A2017U's. Maybe they source from a different place, I dunno

The only solution seems to be RMA
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nupi:
No this is a G series. Just tried again, seems to work for now. Will make sure to observe in any case...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] DxTcmix:
It's the latest B25 update. A factory reset fixed the problem for me. Seems the stacked up previous "dirty flash" updates caused problems over time with the OIS. I thought it was a Hardware Problem too.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nupi:
I didn't flash B25 or b04 but it did start after trying resurrection remix (after factory reset). Now back to lineage, Maybe I need to wipe data instead of just doing a factory reset?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] MrWilsonxD:
Like this?

https://goo.gl/photos/yHVB3vtbu52f9oTV7

Does it tend to happen when the device is warm? RMA RMA RMAAAA. Zte was great with my rma experience. I had a similar issue.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nupi:
It seems to be happening again, so unless there is a way to simply turn of OIS I think an RMA will be needed which is annoying mainly because I don't have a spare phone to use

:eek:
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nolimit78:
Yeah I'm currently dealing with this issue to. It happens just enough to be annoying. This will be the second RMA I've had on this device but I ain't mad at it. The first was was a headphone jack issue and this is something separate. My first experience with the RMA process was pretty painless.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Drackyen:
I have it too, A2017U. When it happens, the camera literally vibrates and doesn't focus at all. The fix is to close and re-open the camera, though sometimes it takes about 5 times to get it back to normal.

Thankfully, it only happens maybe 1 out of 10 times I use the camera in the first place.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nolimit78:
Did this issue return for you? It's interesting that I'm having the same issue, but I'm using a custom rom. Maybe the bootstacks need to be wiped and refreshed.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nupi:
I am on lineage too, on a A2017G so no B25 anywhere but still wonder if flashing stock might help. Then again would have to do some for an RMA anyway
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nolimit78:
I flashed and returned /everything/ to stock, first time booting up the camera, it jittered like usual. If you have this problem, just set it up for RMA.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] kraljan66:
I had same issue on RR, LINEAGE and same on CARBON rom/last build/ so I tried STOCK-MB04 for my A2017G and it looks good, mean camera works correctly. Propably it is SW problem.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] |Furō|:
Also experiencing this issue... but I think it has something to do with heat. This seems to be mostly happening, when I'm out in the sun on hot days. Is this the same for anyone else? I'm running LineageOS.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nupi:
Definitely not correlated to heat in my case. Will try stock again
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] |Furō|:
Alright would be happy to hear your results :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nupi:
Happens even after flashing B04, perhaps less often but definitely still there.

Well I had to flash b04 in prep for RMA anyhow.

I might even go and buy a new phone but it seems there are only bad options out there...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nolimit78:
The only phone that has caught my attention is the Pixel 2. Front facing speakers are a hard thing to get rid of. I'm using an LG G6 and the lack of dual facing speakers is noticeable. I can't wait to see how much the Pixel 2 will premier at so I can laugh at it and continue using the A7.
