Lol one post with 3 likes. Yeah that's the consensus
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I was curious so I asked the question. Give it time more will answer. Of course they are probably liars too.

Must be an Illuminati plot.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FUZER384:
You're not listening closely. Remember when I said I'll assume you're not on here lying? That wasn't sarcasm but to put it off as if in every circumstance with any account you can just pop it in, THAT'S false. I've been with Tmo the last 3 years this is my first with Verizon. Tmo ships you only a phone & sim, cause you can figure out the rest. Verizon sends you that and has a department just for activations. Why are they spending the extra $ to man those people instead of how TMo does it? well it's obvious that they have to. I've had 2 different Pixels for Verizon in both cases I didn't have to call in but I at least needed to know the activation number sequence. The next person may or may not have the same experience, which is kinda the point. Don't assume your experience is the right one & everyone is a fantasy land ?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Man you keep mixing me up with other people. Focus.

I've heard your opinion. I want other opinions. Like you said XDA is about learning, information. I didn't ask a loaded question. It's very open and unbiased. I say let the results speak, not to mention there are literally Verizon reps all over that thread.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SikYou:
But they will be wrong or liars too. Can't you see? This is Fuzer384's thread and ONLY he can be right. The rest of us are just here to take in the Android/Verizon greatness that he is blessing us with. I feel smarter already. Never again will I put a SIM in a VZW phone without calling and asking permission first.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FUZER384:
Lol so just gonna skip right past the part I said this is probably based on circumstances on if you can or cannot just pop a sim in?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] alluringreality:
I read Howardforums a lot more than XDA. For anyone that's not familiar with Verizon activations, here's a quick overview.

If you have a Verizon sim that was activated with another Verizon phone, that sim can be used in other compatible phones, like SikYou commented. If you have an unactivated sim, you will need a Verizon whitelisted phone in order to activate the sim, probably like commented from FUZER384. My understanding is that if you are on Verizon (postpaid or prepaid) their system should automatically update which phone the sim is being used in, so that inserting the sim in a second Verizon phone should free the first phone for being able to activate a sim on a different line of service. If you're on a Verizon MVNO (Boom Mobile, Straight Talk Verizon, etc.), my understanding is that the account is typically tied to the phone originally registered for activation, so moving the sim to a second phone probably does not free the first phone for activating another line. Anyway, in places that deal with these sorts of things, it's somewhat common knowledge that a previously-activated Verizon sim can be moved to other phones, and that it's necessary to have a Verizon certified phone that is in their database to activate a Verizon sim.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FUZER384:
Thanx for that
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
I suspect that you probably need to actually unlock your bootloader if you have the OEM Unlock option available and are using your Pixel on Verizon. I don't think Verizon can lock your bootloader with one of their updates if it's already unlocked. But removing the OEM Unlock option on a phone where the bootloader is locked would be easy to do with a Verizon update. The poster who began this thread didn't lose the OEM Unlock option until after he relocked his bootloader. The fact that he's now locked down even though he isn't on stock would normally be a disaster but with the dual partitions on the Pixel who knows? His phone might revert back to pure stock after an OTA update.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xocomaox:
A sim pop is how I got my Google Pixel to work with Verizon... I'm not sure who OP was speaking with at Verizon when they had trouble but it should not needed to be added by IMEI unless this unit was originally turned in as a bad unit via warranty replacement (and subsequently blocked on the network by Verizon) and never got un-blocked on Verizon's side when it was refurbished and sent back out (likely).
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FUZER384:
There's multiple instances of Google RMA warranty units needing to be added to the network. If you want I'll get you some links to threads. After i posted my experience a few other people chimed in with theirs too. Do you need links to threads?
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xocomaox:
What happened to the difference in network technologies? My explanation was that refurbished units aren't being pulled off the "defective and turned in" list. My original comment was that Verizon doesn't need to add anything to their network for phones to work on it (you just pop in an active sim, or activate a new sim with that phone), unless those phone are on the model blacklist or have been specifically blacklisted themselves like a stolen one or one that is being turned in for replacement. I think this is where we got very confused.

I don't need the links, save yourself some time.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] toknitup420:
Um not true. The last 3 phones I had on vzw didn't need to be activated. The sim was already active from my old device. Popped it in my new phone each time and all set after that. The only time you guys are running into issues is trying to activate new SIM cards.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Basically ops statement of they NEED to be activated isn't true but their system needs a valid (for verizon) phone initially to activate a Sim card the first time. After that you can put the card where you want.

I am also assuming someone that doesn't know better sends their Sim card back with the replacement and has to do the whole ordeal again instead of just popping in the old one.

Frankly it seems like a pointless step once they moved to Sims over provisioning devices directly, it's like they never phased that part out of their system but that would make sense if there are still legacy devices around that don't use Sim cards
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] FUZER384:
Google didn't send me a new sim IIRC. When I tried to pop the sim in it was some kind of error that had to do with my IMEI. When I called in they said they couldn't find my phone by IMEI, which initiated the process of it being added manually
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Curious did you try the page they have for activating devices? I just want to know if that also failed?

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natnatenathan:
Well... trying to help a friend because his Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (SM-N920W8), according to him, got bricked. We tried samsung switch to fix error message saying "an error has occurred while updating the device software. use the emergency recovery function" , but unable have a connection with my windows 10 pc although usb device drive is recognize on device manager, samsung switch said it needs to have it on recovery mode. Only mode it can do is either downloading mode(odin) or the error showing as mentioned. Tried flashing with stock 7.0 (carrier unknown, MTA) via odin and have the phone on downloading mode with the AP check and clicking AP button with downloaded 7.0 FW, but failed, I did again and stuck on analysis, still failed. And again before doing it for the third time I noticed, on downloading mode screen showing:

ODIN MODE

DOWNLOAD SPEED: FAST

CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM

SYSTEM STATUS: OFFICIAL

can anyone tell me what are these codes, and I got failed with my first trial an error in red text saying SW REV. CHECK, FAIL DEVICE: , BINARY 1.

The last few nights, I've noticed that my phone is on vibrate before I go to sleep(or when I wake up) and I don't recall putting it in that mode. Is there some sort of auto change to vibrate setting in the phone that I may have set at one point and forgotten about? Or am I really just going crazy and I set it to vibrate and somehow keep forgetting?

[Xperia SP General] pepoluan:
Yup, I've just finished self-repairing my Xperia SP.

Basically, I just replaced the battery. But I had originally planned -- and prepared -- to replace the LCD and the touchscreen, too. Because there seems like this "oil spot" about one-third up the bottom of the screen, and sensitivity became too low in the row where the "oil spot" was.

And I confirm: the XSP's steel frame is a beast! It practically provide the rigidity needed by all the small components, so much so that self-repairing the XSP is actually a nice experience.

The LCD is clipped onto a "carrier", which gets fixed to the frame using the two hexalobe screws on the side. The battery was attached to the back of this carrier using two strips of double-tapes, and very easy to remove (and no, you don't need to replace the double-tapes with new strips; the battery fit snugly between the LCD carrier and the PCB).

The camera & speaker are themselves on another "carrier", separate from the LCD carrier.

Here's the video I use for initial disassembly (not mine, but very helpful):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZacc3HN_bU

Here's a sort-of continuation, how to remove the LCD carrier:

https://youtu.be/oV6jEVXRJfM?t=4m04s

Anyways, after replacing the old battery (which is showing signs of degradation: Bubbles on its aluminum wrap, and an increased thickness -- old battery = 4.0mm thick, new battery = 3.5mm thick), I turned my phone on (ensuring that I haven't damaged something permanently) and... whaddaya know! The oil spot was gone, and sensitivity all over the screen is good again!

(I did lever up the LCD panel and clean its surface with a dry, clean microfiber cloth. Maybe that helped, too.)

Annnd... while at it, I replace the black back panel with a RED one :D

Anyways, that's a short story from me. Will update if there are any development.

EDIT: I strongly recommend you use a magnetic mat to put down the screws, like this one:

Magnetic mat on Amazon

Why? Because, not only were the screws very small, they come in wildly different sizes! Off the top of my head:

Three top back screws -- small long

Two lower-top back screws -- small short-ish

One centre screw -- very short

Two middle side screws -- very small

Two bottom screws -- slightly shorter than the top screws

PCB screws -- larger thred

LCD carrier screws -- hexalobe small

With a magnetic mat, you can "group" the similarly shaped & sized screws in a square area, and they won't mingle.

[Palm Treo 750] nuckymcnuck:
I tried to update 2.23 RWE to 2.27 RWE (WM6) without using Outlook (on a side note, does anyone know a good alternative?) so I copied pim.vol to my PC as well as the SD card.

After the upgrade didn't work (both by SD flash and Desktop installer), the "upgrade" obviously erased pim.vol. I tried the old trick of renaming, copy and pasting... alas it didn't work.

Anyone have any idea as to what to do?

After an exhaustive googling, I'm still none the wiser. I'd be great if I could have the contacts (name, number, email, etc) exported out to a CSV. I found a parser written in perl, but it doesn't seem to like WM6's pim.vol

If anyone can save me from hours of editing a 4MB text file to CSV, please let me know! :)

[General Questions and Answers] alex930492012:
Have you installed custom recovery? Try compressing it in .zip & flash it from recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
What are you doing? Moving user apps to system? Or moving system apps to user?

After moving the apps, did you immediately reboot to recovery and wipe cache and or Dalvik/ART cache if you have custom recovery? Of you didn't do this then that's probably why you're having issues.

Any time you move apps "to" or "from" /system/app or /system/priv-app, you have to boot to recovery and wipe ONLY the cache partition and Dalvik/ART cache then reboot.

It has to do this because before you make the move, the app is already loaded and has cached data that was created when it was in its original location, after making the move, if that cached data is still in cache then the device thinks and acts as if the app is still wherever you moved it from. This causes a conflict and it doesn't know what to "do" or "not do". Wiping cache and rebooting let's the system load and create new cached data for the apps new location.

Also, did you enable root explorer in ES File Explorer, did you also set mount r/w permissions in ES File Explorer.

Are you using the most up to date SuperSU and updated su binaries?

On a side note I suggest you read the Forum Rules here. Don't ever mention or use any kind of warez(Lucky Patcher is an example of warez) while you are a member of XDA. This website is created by developers for developers, it's not a good idea to use or discuss software designed to steal their work(warez) in their own kingdom.

Figured out how to reproduce the jelly scrolling effect on every phone I have. The jelly scrolling effect isn't an issue with the OnePlus 5. I was able to reproduce the bug on my OnePlus 3T and Samsung Galaxy S7. Here is a video displaying the bug:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylPgd4V-z98

Let me know what you think and if you can reproduce it every time like myself.

Edit: Turns out the stock launcher doesn't have the issue, but nova launcher does. I'm not exactly sure why nova launcher is causing it to happen, but maybe that is why a lot of people are experiencing the issue. Nova launcher is the most popular launcher on the market.

Interesting , I can't seem to replicate on stock launcher I've had 3 devices now and none of them had the effect replaced for other reasons mainly just paranoia that I'd got one of the earlier manufacturer date that some had issues with so returned and got a later manufacturer date 10/6/17 , this one performing nice
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] woundman:
Just tried with the stock launcher, I can't reproduce the bug at all.... Interesting indeed. I wonder if it's just a nova launcher issue? Could you try installing Nova Launcher and see if you can reproduce the bug?

Tried Nova just as smooth as stock for me although by default the icons are smaller and more on the page maybe it's something Todo with the Grid layout bigger icons more of a gap in between them or something

out of the dozen videos i have seen so far, i can only identify the jelly effect in one of them..

Strange, I just reinstalled nova and can reproduce the bug with stock settings. You're getting in between the grid on the app draw right? I was able to reproduce the bug on my 3t, s7 and LG tablet with nova launcher.
