Because of this ugly display for some reason I can't go back to regular phones with flat screens and big chins and and foreheads
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ChrisM75:
In fairness to him, my S6Edge+ screen does look a lot better than my S8+ screen in some ways. My S8+ is less even, especially for greys, there is more distortion due to the curves and there is a slight colour change off angle that the S6 doesnt have.

Even so, the HDR and increased over all brightness is great, and more useful in real world use.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] biffwitch:
Flat would of been better, but to be fair the S7 Edge was a car crash. The S7 flat I have a lot of respect for.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] htc fan89:
Do you realize. S6+ has a more steep curvature compared to the Gs8+. So more distortion on the Gs8+ doesn't make sense. Might be you got a bad one, also I had Gs7 edge and that had more distortion than this does.

Dead Links

Just thought i would post another reply, not to get my post count up but purely to explain that the reason i'm probably not getting any answers to my problem is because you think i haven't looked on here already?, well to answer that i can tell you i have tried multiple threads to try and sort this out but the download links that are there are dead links so i can't go any further.

All i want to know can this be sorted and if so could i get some up to date help or if the device no good, if so i can just throw it in the bin and stop wasting anymore time on it. thanks in advance,

just one answer please, that's all i'm asking!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Allen Mead:
When I put my kaiser in the tilted position, I can ever so slightly rock the top section back and fourth in the slider. Is this normal?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ~~Tito~~:
Yep, if you look at the back while you are rocking it you will see why it does that. It does that on mine to.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 23scurtu:
Hello,

I am currently having intense difficulty getting my data off of my galaxy s6 which wont boot. I have tried flashing a new recovery which doesn't work (The button code doesn't even open recovery). I am considering flashing the stock firmware back to try to recover it but I've heard that this deletes my personal data (which is the only reason I want to recover the phone).

I downloaded the stock firmware for my SM-G920W8 and I noticed that when I unzip it there are a bunch of files in it such as boot.img and cache.img. I was wondering if any of these are specific to deleting the data and if there is anyway I can remove one, re zip the file, flash it, and have my data still be there. Also, by data I'm referring to solely the pictures I took that were in my gallery, I don't care about anything else. Or perhaps there's something else I can flash to get my data back, any help is greatly appreciated :D.

I have never messed with my galaxy s6 at all and never modded it in any way. One day a few months ago the phone screen just went black while I was watching vids and ever since has never been able to boot. Computer doesn't recognize it, but I can use download mode (ODIN).
[Asus ZenWatch 2] 4RK4N:
as to read in the asus forums having twitter messages from [MENTION=318577]Asus[/MENTION]de account saying big zenwatch 2 will get aw2.0 in july and small one in august.

https://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=151438&extra=page=1&mobile=2

just sharing the info.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] TheLoonyRebel:
Meanwhile ASUS US tells me on Facebook....

First and last ASUS product I will ever own. Took them over five days to give me that answer and not to mention the delays with little to no communication on why and pretty much having to beg them for meager status updates. Signs of a badly run company.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Medfordite:
My main gripe with ASUS is the lack of customer communication they use. When you go to their forums, 'ASUS_Bill" gives vague responses and nothing more than that. Their lack of communication with their customers is enough to drive me away from buying/using any of their products in the future.

If one person can build 2.0 for the large version (with minor battery issues), then why can't ASUS' team build their version faster? I played with the homebrew version we had here and it was quite stable, just chewed my battery up, but it gave me a good taste of what 2.0 will bring in the future for the watch.

After trying to install the LINAGE OS rom i got in a boot loop after that TWRP is lagging and almost unusable ! Any way to fix it ? I HAVE RE FLASHED THE ORIGINAL ROM ALL WORKS ONLY TWRP IS MESSED UP :(
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] Mis012:
I'm sorry this may not help you, but I used twrp backups to go back to stock and everything is fine. I also switched to twrp 3.1 so I could stream the backup to pc, maybe that is the reason? Found it on some french forum, I was quite surprised it worked considering I didn't understand what it said.

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] soumakischris:
How did you unlock it ? As far as I can understand most probably by flashing the rom ( it might fave been for the F and not the FN ) it has installed something in the recovery partition.

The original recovery software is OK! TWRP is very unresponsive to the touchscreen

Hi guys,

Just got my OP5 and was wondering if the OnePlus provided KARBON Bumper case (priced at INR 1990) is really worth buying/using?

I mean it's pricey but even with that tag, is it good enough? Worth the money and feel?

Please reply ASAP.

Thanks.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] thefiqs:
Any link?
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] AnDrOiDnEoV:
I just ordered it. I will tell you once I get it.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] sunnyhj:
I had placed the order for same yesterday. Register your device on oneplus site before making this purchase and you'll get 250rs off the price when checking out an accessory.

It costed me around 1740 after 250 off.

Hope this helps!
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] Fentadroid:
Maybe this works only in your country.... I've registered my phone but nothing....
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] sunnyhj:
Yup. It is for Oneplusstore.in only. But you can check your registered mail also. They might have some other offer.

Here's the screenshot of the email that i received from Oneplus after registering my device.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] minieod:
mine is out for delivery in the US today. id say for $30 USD it is not worth it, there will be much better, or at least cheaper, alternatives on amazon soon

but if you apply the referral code ($20 USD) it should make it worth it, $10 USD is on par with spigen etc
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] sunnyhj:
Yup. I have a referral code as well for accessory but bought the phone from Amazon on 22nd (couldn't wait till 27th - Oneplus store date). The referral Code only works if you Add in the accessory along with the Oneplus 5 device when you are placing the order. I have already registered the device so it should be in their system but whenever i try to use the referral code this it just sends me to 'Buy oneplus 5' page.

You can try to redeem your coupon though. It might work for you as you had bought from oneplus store. But it does say that they can use the referral voucher when they are buying the device. No mention of when they try to use it afterwards.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] minieod:
i saw two ways around this:

1) if the phone is in stock, you can add it then the case, then apply the code, then remove the phone from the cart

2) when i ordered my phone, the case was not in stock.... so i emailed them about this, and they gave me a $20 code to use at any time, so when the case was in stock - i used the code.... they also agreed to waive shipping charge...so the order total was $10 USD

might want to try emailing them
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] sunnyhj:
Will Try to email them. Problem is i bought the phone from amazon. Dunno they'll allow me to use my referral voucher. Customer Service here are sorely lacking. My nexus 6P started having the bootloop of death (motherboard issue) when my warranty expired 15 days ago. Talked to google and huawei, both were non sympathetic and i was given a quote of '25,000rs' (390$) to replace the mobo. Where as most people in US were given either a refurbished or new device even after their warranty had expired as this issue is widespread in Nexus 6P.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] jsmonu:
Yeah well, I had ordered and got it already. But I'm surprisingly frustrated with OnePlus Service here hearing that they do NOT have a return policy at all for such a case, priced so damn much!

So I've put it up for sale in forums etc. Let's see if I can salvage some cash back.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] c_86:
You have the carbon one? PM me I might buy it from you.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] redeuxx:
I have the bumper. I usually always use my phone naked but I might keep this one. It's minimal enough and provides some protection on the corners which is what I was looking for.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] Rebel7022:
I just got the Karbon Bumper.. Wow it's nice nice.. Don't even think about it, get it before it sells out for 3 months & your stuck with a ugly bulky full body case from Amazon case. This case covers everything but is slim. Wow
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] Rebel7022:
Yo
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] Fentadroid:
How did you do that? you cannot remove an item once you apply the code....
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] miodzicho:
Guys, what is difference between : OnePlus 5 Protective Case Karbon and OnePlus 5 Karbon Bumper Case, which one give better protection ?
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] roba93:
I just received the black silicon case, its slim and feels great, protection is enough for me i assume :)
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] sunnyhj:
Protective case doesn't cover the buttons, top and bottom. Check it out the both cases from front side. You'll see the difference.
[OnePlus 5 Accessories] iamyourdemize:
I bought it with my phone and received it yesterday. I personally would not recommend it. The fit and finish is nice but the way they cut out the alert slider makes it unusable. The way it is cut is too deep + they added a small lip along it that makes it impossible to move it up and down. I will likely be selling mine.
[General Questions and Answers] nelson996:
Hello all...

I have been looking for a stereo/front facing dual speaker phone for a while now to replace my old rooted Lenovo K3 note. I wanted to try out the 3d Glasses thing and also be able to stream programs on my phone whilst sat in my car during my lunch break and get a decent volume of sound! I did get a ZTE Axon Elite, but stupidly didn't do my usual thorough amount of research and found it only had one speaker at the bottom... doh!!! It's going on ebay...

I have been searching for something else, does anyone have any good recommendations in the region of $200ish. My missus already has the Axon mini which has the stereo speakers, but we can't have the same phones... :silly:

Thanks.

In the ## hidden menu. U can check qfuse version.

Sometimes it will flash others it errors both end in secure boot errors normally left with no download mode

END OF LIFE

Flash this ROM at your own risk. I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device when flashing. Confirmed working on AL00. Tested on MHAL29C567.

The goal of this ROM is to rid of any unnecessary apps along with providing a complete Google experience. In the future this ROM will feature an AROMA installer but for now I am looking to squash bugs and make sure it's as smooth as possible.

Features

:

Gboard

Huawei International Music App

Android O Emojis

Decrypted

Rooted

ViPER4Android

Call Recording

DT2W

AdAway

KangVIP Tools

Xposed Ready

Deodexed

Debloated

More to come/etc.

Noted Bugs:

-DT2W doesn't work

Test and let me know.

How to install:

Note: TWRP must be installed, see above for download link.

Note: This is for the AL00 variant, rebranding may be required for ROM to function.

Note: ROM will restart on initial boot, this is due to SuperSU patching the boot.img to prevent the filesystem from being encrypted. If it doesn't boot after the first restart hold power to restart it a second time, should boot without any issues.

1. Head on over to the downloads section and grab the latest version.

2. If you'd like to clean install (recommended) wipe data, cache, dalvik, and system.

3. Flash ROM file

[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Ephemera:
FAQ:

Does it work on MHAL29--- ?

Some have reported success. Haven't seen any post saying it hasn't. Flash with a backup and a confirmed working ROM on a external SD Card. -Just to add rebranding may not be required but it is recommended.

If I rebrand do I have to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP again?

Yes. Most importantly when rebranding, you will LOSE all data on your internal storage.

Are the Google Apps preinstalled?

Yes, the core GApps are installed. PlayStore, etc.

What is Xposed Ready?

This means once Xposed is released for Nougat, all you'd have to do is flash it.

What is Decrytped?

This means force encryption is off. TWRP will be able to read all files. You can read more about it in the forums.

How do I flash the Removed Apps zips?

You don't. You take the folder/app you want and stick into app or priv-app then set permissions and reboot.

Can you add Galaxy/whatever other phone there is Apps, Launcher, etc.?

If you wanted a Galaxy, you should've bought a Galaxy phone.

Helpful Tips:

-If you're having trouble with notifications freeze Phone Manager. You'll lose the ability to track battery and data but it is a guaranteed fix. You can do so with an app like Ice Box.

-If you're having trouble removing chinese characters in notification panel or lockscreen go to Advanced Settings and turn off lunar status bar. Advanced Settings > Notification Settings > Show statusbar lunar.

-If you're having issues with Google Play make sure Google Services are NOT disabled. Go to Advanced Settings > More settings > Disable google services.

Workarounds:

-There's some stubborn bloat I'm having trouble removing (especially when installing on an AL00.) It causes no harm just remove them with a system app remover from the play store.

Changelog:

10/19/17:
-Added Xposed
-Change in script to remove bloat
-Playstore fix
-Updated to B231

7/16/17:
-Added HwVPlayer back
-Updater Script change in attempt to remove stubborn bloat
-Updated base to B225

Since it's deodex once Xposed for Nougat is released it can just be flashed.

It means the data partition is not encrypted. So TWRP can read all files.

You would have to rebranded the device.

??**??

same Q!!
[Huawei Mate 9 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Ephemera:
Variant? What version we're you on before flashing?

Rebranding your device changes the variant. For example the L29 and AL00 are practically identical hardware wise but their model number and software differs. You'd have to change your model and software to that of an AL00.
