[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] philo_:
Yup sell or live with it. We can only blame ourselves for not researching before we bought from Verizon.

Me I'm gonna live with it and sell when pixel 2 comes out most likely.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] jonstrong:
I wound up here in this thread after seeing promos pop up recently for discounts Verizon is offering on the Pixel and XL on the order of $269, as well as giving you a 100% rebate on a new Google Home as part of the package. I don't see a comparable promotion when buying directly from Google. I'm less than 2 years into our current phones, but wife and daughter are having problems with theirs, so I've been considering early replacements.

So - getting a 128GB XL via Verizon appears $269 cheaper than via Google, and I'd get a $129 rebate (6 weeks out?) if I purchase a new Google Home (already have 3 -- that's enough, but I guess I could sell the new one). Verizon's discount comes in the form of a monthly rebate, with the full credit being applied over 24 months. Not terrible, I guess, if you plan to stay with Verizon (I'm going to: I consult, and travel all over the country, and need the coverage), but annoying.

Then there's the whole issue of the locked bootloader. Sorry in advance for not being up to date on this and perhaps asking an obvious question: I know the boatloader issue would prevent rooting, and I imagine custom ROMs -- but do Verizon-branded Pixel's get all the same Android updates directly from Google as Pixels do that are unlocked, purchased directly from Google?

(please don't sneer when you see that I'm running a Droid Turbo 2! :( I had to replace 4 phones a year and a half ago, and the available promotions back then made it possible to get them each for $300 - a deal I couldn't afford to pass up at the time! :eek: )

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] scrufy:
Basically it comes down to this:

Verizon can screw you anyway they want. Nothing you can do. Deceptive advertising, No real service through 95% of the areas they say is great, locked bootloader on the "Google Phone" that everyone gets to have pure Android and not F%$ed with.

But, you try and do anything to it, OMG... might as well be in jail for killing someone.

When will we stop the power of these media companies?

Sorry, had to reply, I'm just so fed up with the adds, the false deals, the F%*king lies....

---------- Post added at 02:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 AM ----------

So it's our fault they ripped us off and decided "Their Rules" apply?

No, not gonna buy it. Not gonna stand for it.

This is the attitude that got us here.

F*%$ YOU Verizon.

Stop buying their products?

Yeah, I know you can say nothing we can do, and there really is not much, but every bit counts.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] toknitup420:
They didn't rip you off. You got the device you wanted. And you knowingly bought it from Verizon whom is known to lock down devices. They never sold it with the promises that you could unlock the bootloader and flash whatever you want. Don't get me wrong I hate vzw as much as the next guy. But they didn't use false advertising to sell this device. And if you want pure Android that's untouched then you should be buying directly from Google. Not from VERIZON.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] bkdezalia:
To add to this, I have pretty much exhausted all methods, and it appears that if the phone came from Verizon, without a hack, there is no possible way to OEM Unlock! Here are the facts that I have;

1. I'm on firmware 7.1.2 - NJH47F - which is the non-Verizon firmware from the stock image download page

2. I have tried with both AT&T and T-Mobile SIM's

3. I chatted with Google Support, there is nothing they can do

4. I chatted with Verizon Tech support, there is nothing they can do (supposedly)

If it comes from Verizon, and you are past 7.1 then you cannot use dePixel8...

I can't believe there is no one willing to find even a temp Root exploit and find a way to mod the bootloader.img, even with a substantial bounty out there! I'd add $50 to it at this point!
[HTC Excalibur] tuantuti:
I thought that WM 6.1 is out already, after reading all the articles and seeing the video demonstrating the OS. do u guys have any good guess when it might come out, i would love to see the Dash with that kicking ass home screen and improved ROM. :D:D:D
[HTC Excalibur] curtislanham:
I have been curious to know also. Everything I have read states that Microsoft will officially announce it in February, and new devices will start shipping with it in May. Given that, I would expect updates for older devices by year's end. I hope that the Dash gets the update.
[HTC Excalibur] Dutchmda:
Windows Mobile 6.1

Looks similar to what HTC and T-Mobile did with the T-Mobile shadow device. Changed the way the user navigates through the menus to make it "easier" anded a new homescreen and that was about it. I cant wait for win mobile 7 next year or so hopefully.
[HTC Excalibur] surfing10:
So the WM 6.1 will be announced in Feb 11:

The first vital news item is exact time and place of Microsoft's press conference, where, most likely, the Windows Mobile 6.1 will be announced:

Mobile World Congress 2008: February 11, 2008

15:00-16:00 Microsoft Press Conference

Microsoft Executive Meeting Centre

Hotel Catalonia Plaza

(organized by Microsoft Mobility Team at Weber Shandwick - a PR company that Microsoft uses)

Most likely the main speaker will be Pieter Knook (the highest in hierarchy manager responsible for Windows Mobile and not for other unrelated divisions) together with some other top managers from Microsoft and Microsoft partner companies (operators and manufacturers).
[HTC Excalibur] keff:
Well, threaded SMS, IE zooming and page preview... not just homescreen
[HTC Excalibur] curtislanham:
Any Updates

I am seeing a lot of 6.1 related posts for other phones, but nothing on the Excalibur. Does anyone have any updates/links for a 6.1 ROM for the Excalibur?
[HTC Excalibur] SirKeats:
i'd love an update too. i read on another site a quick writeup. they said for smartphone the 6.1 update will help to resolve (note: not fix entirely) the memory leaking issues. that's my biggest hope, that and an updated IE... though with the new opera coming out, it might be outdone before it even has a chance anyway.
[HTC Excalibur] hasta_la_vista:
Windows Mobile 6.1 is out, emulator images also

Here is the official press release for Windows Mobile 6.1

EveryWAN Remote Support and Mobility Manager already work on those OS flavors.

You can download the Windows Mobile 6.1 emulator images.

Don't play too late with it this night !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Men1998:
Hey guys,

I want some help with coding a feature in my app on Android Studio. I need to know how to make an advanced search engine which works with filters just like the ones on Trivago where you can search into a database from rating, price, city, etc.... So I need the filters for non-numberic data like for example: Search by city, school's degree, type of animal. Things like that, any help would be amazing and thanks I'm new to programming and Android Studio and stuff.

[ZTE ZMAX Questions & Answers] CollisionFactor:
I just got the ZTE ZMax Champ from Total Wireless and am in need of some assistance in the root process. So far I have tried to perform the adb reboot bootloader and the phone just reboots, have actually rooted the device with Kingroot but its only a temp root as it looses it upon rebooting the device. I can't tell if the bootloader is locked due to the fact I cannot boot into fastboot (if this device even supports fastboot). I have found that the phone came stock with busybox though. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[ZTE ZMAX Questions & Answers] CollisionFactor:
I have also found out that this device does not support adoptable storage or has the option to move apps to SD card. Still working on a way to keep root after reboot.
[ZTE ZMAX Questions & Answers] Curtis1973:
not sure if you still have device but it appears zte has the kernel as open source...not that it helps anything considering they have locked down fastboot mode. i tested kingroot as well on this device a family member has. i would suspect you've tried accessing fastboot just to find it just reboots. seems zte is adamant about crippling their carrier branded devices. i will keep looking but suspecting there is no way to access fastboot. also it seems the kingroot temp root can't even debloat device. i get failed errors trying to delete bloat apps no matter what apps i use to remove them even though kingroot and root checker says there is indeed root.
[ZTE ZMAX Questions & Answers] CollisionFactor:
Yes I do still have this device, but I have given up on it. It's locked down tighter than fort Knox and to be honest, even if I got it unlocked and rooted, the ZTE skin is crap, the CPU can't handle much of anything without getting hot and the space is just horrible. I did read that ZTE disabled the fastboot mode to prevent people from unlocking their devices. The only one that is unlocked is the Axon, which comes that way. Thanks for the dig, though.
[ZTE ZMAX Questions & Answers] inub:
If you need a method for trancending an sd for more storage (options otherwise disable)

What you will need:

SD Micro

Adapter for computer

Instructions

1. Place the card in your phone and format it

2. Change options under storage to save to sd card

3. Take a picture

3. Remove card without unmounting

4. Put card in adapter and put into computer

5. Open any folder and navigate to 'this pc' folder and open it

6. Right click on SDcard and select format

7. In format window under File system select NTFS under Allocation Unit Size select 4096 press start and press yes and ok to next to pop-ups. remove the card without ejecting.

8. Put the card back in your phone

9. In notifications bar, there should be a notice saying the card is corrupted. Click notice and follow prompts to format as "internal storage".

10.Cheers now you can transcend your SD card

*** To check that it has taken Settings > Storage SD card should now have changed color. (on both of the phones I did it went from grey/black to a purplish)

**** To move apps go to setting > apps > select app. If it is able to move it will have a new button called CHANGE
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] theprfct10:
Okay so recently upon unlocking my phone instead of going to the home screen the first thing will be a random app -- sometimes the browser, sometimes Twitter ,sometimes another app, any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BigBen60:
Are you using the Samsung way to lock your phone ? With the power button ? Don't you use any third-party app to lock it ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] theprfct10:
I use the power button yes, unless the 30 second display timeout has passed
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BigBen60:
have you tried to remove this 30 seconds timeout ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] theprfct10:
No but will
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] thedicemaster:
is it possible your launcher crashed/closed?

it sounds very much like the behavior of Android when there's no launcher app running in the background, and can be replicated by updating your launcher through the play store.

Hmm interesting theory. I'm using Nova Prime
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] felipevsw:
I am not the ROM developer or anything, I'm just a user and a fan so please don't bother asking me anything. I'm just creating this thread here because there isn't one for this ROM and I thought every one here should know it exists because it is the best ROM for our device imo.

You can get it here: http://downloads.aospextended.com/addison

I use Beans Gapps with it (Mini) but I guess you can use Open Gapps as well.

For root I install Magisk beta that can be downloaded from here. Simply flash the zip with TWRP and it'll install everything. Safetynet all green.

It comes with Pixel Launcher by default when you use Beans Gapps mini. I can't tell about other combinations because I haven't tried them.

Also you can find the devs on their official Google Plus page here: https://plus.google.com/communities/106726906578669931141
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Kap_Tutan:
Im using it with nano gapps and it is also comes with pixel launcher.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Jimi Mack:
You really should have the developer post a thread if they want their work circulated, this way the rom can be supported. otherwise people have no one to turn to if they do have an issue.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] kmdnn:
thanks for making this thread, i didn't even know AOSP Extended was available for the Z Play, i used it on my X 2014 and i loved it, i will definitely try it.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] felipevsw:
I have contacted (PM) the maintainer (according to what it's said in the downloads page) but he didn't responded to me, and as I said, I just wanted people here to know this ROM exists and works great, so the community can benefit from it the same way I do.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Jimi Mack:
So in other words, you have posted some else's work knowingly without their approval...
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Hitachy:
He can, since he has not tell us "it's my Rom, developed buongiorno myself".

A link Is public, sharing public is legal.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] felipevsw:
Exactly. I couldn't describe it better. You can report the thread if you like. I just posted, saying it's not my work, because I wanted people to know about it.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Jimi Mack:
The idea is not to report you but to educate. It is not polite to pass along someone else's work without their permission and then refer people to another forum. You could have just mentioned the rom and then asked for direct messaging to then supply the link to whom wanted it. Other wise this is a complete unsupported rom here on XDA. It always seems the simple things slip the mind.

[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] MrWilsonxD:
Wow,, this ROM works very well. Tons of great customization optics.

Kernel is permissive by default, can use terminal "setenforce 1" to change to enforcing.

Couldn't get mAgisk 12 to work, but the latest beta 13 works fine!

[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] felipevsw:
Netflix won't install for me even when I was on stock recently. I guess they're checking if your bootloader is unlocked as well not just root, because I didn't had root, it was vanila stock.
