[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
TWRP doesn't actually require root, it can do what it wants without it. It needs root to use adb while booted into TWRP but that isn't because TWRP requires root to do it, it is because adb requires root.

Root is sometimes used to flash TWRP via an app.

Have you tried flashing TWRP via Odin then seeing if you can boot to recovery?

Also, if you get lucky and the device boots into system, try going to system settings>backup and reset then find the factory reset setting, try factory reseting it that way and then see if you can flash TWRP or your stock firmware via Odin.

Are you booted into download mode when you are flashing stock firmware in Odin?

[General Questions and Answers] DJBTB:
I've tried doing a factory reset if I get lucky and it takes me into the main screen but immediately it gives me the "seandroid" error message the same as if I press volume up, menu, and power. I am able to boot onto download mode ive tried this to flash firmware but Odin gives me a Fail (Auth) message each time. I'm not even sure if TWRP has a version for my phone yet I'm not sure much about TWRP. If there's a way I can break this chain I'll try anything.
[General Questions and Answers] DJBTB:
TWRP working so far

I found a custom version of TWRP and thankfully was able to flash it on my phone using odin. I was also able to get the Root working with TWRP as well. I'm going to play around with the phone awhile longer to see if everything is fine. I no longer get the "seandroid" error message while booting up the phone however it does briefly appear upon loading into the recovery but so far TWRP takes its place after a few seconds. It worried me at first but as long as TWRP kicks in each time it's a good sign. I'll leave the thread as unresolved for a while longer in case anyone has any further suggestions or in case something goes wrong but all my thanks goes out to Droidriven!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Good to good, glad you made progress, hopefully that's all you'll need to do.

I don't see how I was much help though. All I did was explain TWRP not needing root.

I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE
[General Questions and Answers] DJBTB:
Understandable, however I never would of thought to try TWRP without your suggestion. It seems when you are stumped the answer is right there all it needs is someone else to chime in and point it out. Like trying to beat a hard level over and over sometimes just give the controller to someone else and they will get it their first try lol.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
By the way, when flashing stock firmware via Odin, root is not required. The only time root is required to flash stock ROM is when flashing a stock firmware that has been converted into a custom recovery stock flashable.zip. It is not uncommon for someone in this community to convert stock firmware into a recovery flashable .zip. This is used so that the device doesn't lose root or custom recovery. When flashing stock the normal way via PC, it removes root and reverts the device back to stock recovery. Then the device has to be rooted and flash recovery again. The stock flashable .zip avoids all of that because it gets flashed in custom recovery, this way, recovery is not lost and root is not lost.

This only applies "IF" someone converts the firmware to flashable .zip. Not all devices have a stock flashable .zip available though.

So, I have a question. My wife and I both bought the G950F version in Norway, and we would like to know if it would be possible to use these phones in Peru.

My wife flew down last week, and she tells me the phone is not accepting the local SIM cards.

Appreciate any input, as I am going down there myself shortly..

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] gurinder073:
It is not going to work because you need to make call on s8 Europe version so it will work internationally. Basically, it is sim lock only for Europe if you got Europe sim just make call for only 5 mins and then you can use anywhere you want

Both the S8 has been in use in Norway for 2 months, but they still wont accept the SIM card in Peru.

No, you won't. Once it's been unlocked, it stays unlocked. Proof: bought my S8 from Amazon Germany. Had to make the call. Been using it in Argentina since android 7, with numerous firmware updates
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Brandonjr36:
Just bought a galaxy s8, was having some problems with it, so verizon sent me a free glass tempered screen protector I just got it in the mail. I have a cheaper plastic one on it now. But I read the reviews that the verizon glass protector isn't really that good. What's your guys opinion? I got it free so value for the money isn't an issue, I just want to make sure it's gonna stay on and not have to put my finger though the screen to get it to work. Thanks guys.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Charkatak:
I personally don't like glass screen protectors, but there are many people that do. The reason that I don't is that on screens that are curved, a lot of times the edges start to peel and you see a bubble, which isn't good. Manufactures have tried to make the screen protector a little smaller/narrower, so it stops when the edge starts to curve, but then again, it doesn't look good and I could feel the edge of the glass protector when swiping from the edge and it is annoying (IMO). If I buy a screen protector, I usually get something like Armorsuit military grade screen protector that you apply by spraying a solution and installing it. Gives you room to move the protector around until you find a perfect fit and then squeeze the water out. I don't drop my phones, so never had to test it, but I do see that this screen protector is much better and thicker than a regular thin plastic one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maττ:
It seems that "navi" is built into the settings of my Android car head unit and when using an external keyboard the spacebar is used as the trigger. The head unit claims to run Android 7.1.1. There's settings to adjust what this "navi" thing launches hiding in Settings > Car Settings but it only allows you to select the app to launch and no option to outright disable. The only way to enter a space is with the onscreen keyboard currently (which conveniently hides when an external keyboard is used).

Anyone know how I can get my physical spacebar back? If not soon I'll be figuring out how to write a small app that simply inserts a space and that'll be my new navi app. Surely there's a setting somewhere?

Hi everybody,

Due i have posted this bug on the touch thread and i didn't get any great recommendation, I'll try here, one of the most active threads in XDA-dev.

My issue:

i'm experiencing this problem with my Biotouch Cube Interface, it happens only at this page, the others are displaying well. How can I fix this problem avoiding a soft reset of my phone.

THX in advance

Metanol

I don't have any application installed and i didn't try to do any tweak or registry change, also the phone is free from external software.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] qtek_metanol:
I can not believe that nobody knows what is the issue of this problem
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ionide:
Why don't you just soft-reset? What you probably don't want is a HARD reset, that's what wipes all data on your device. A soft-reset just reboots it.

To compare with a normal computer:

Soft-reset = reboot.

Hard-reset = format c: and a fresh windows installation.

I recently conducted a user satisfaction survey for the Oneplus 5 to see how the majority of owners feel about their device. The results (linked below) were very interesting, and showed that what we see in the news often differs greatly from what device owners actually think.

Hey Guys,

I have a nexus 5x.

I am using google keep's reminders but sadly I get a very short (one second) notification on the screen if the screen is on

or a notification short sound (shorter then usual notification sounds) when the screen is off.

There is no notification on top of the screen that I can scroll and see like in the past.

It seems like something is blocking it,

I gave Google keep permissions to my contact, storage and everything that is possible.

I've enabled the locked screen notification on google keep's settings

nothing seem to help.

Seems like something is blocking it and in this way I can't see the reminders that I set :(

Would appreciate any help on your part.

Thanks.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] wallor77:
There is a serious touch issue problem in this version

Its a software related problem

Touch process go in deep sleep and will not wake up from sleep function unless you trigger it by switching wake up by fingerprint wake up and power button with pin unlocking couple of times.

Now what drives me crazy its that clean hard reset doesnt matter this days. I came to conclusion that clean install from andriod version will actually do a real clean install. Switching between android versions will do a real clean install. From android m to android n back and fort. Now im not sure if touch issue is a left over from b06 to b11 to nougat b02 by ota. Thats why im saying that hard reset doesnt matter now days. I will also test if issue is between light sensor and fingerprint sensor. My observation is from switching between wake up states fingerprint from black screen power button pin entry and power button fingerprint wake up states. It works every time when touch stop working. For hard reset part it will not work one hard reset but couple of them. Which is also a contradiction because touch process doesnt have any settings after hard reset. This is a logical observation.

I use poetic case with screen protection built in and this is also a possability that touch is not calibrated like it was in andoird M.

I will appriciate if someone could tell me service mode code so i can test touch in service mode like there is for some other phones
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
This is not related to B02. This is just a problem that you have in your specific platform. I believe that the only surefire way is to use MiFlash and flash the Russians' B10 (or Nougat, whichever you like) build from EDL. that way you'll get a working Android on your phone.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] wallor77:
I updated to Spanish b05 and it works fine. No issues anymore with touch. Did also a hard reset. But you are right. Flashing with Miflash is more appropriate clean install like any other flashing tool for other respective devices

for some time my battery has been showing some strange behaviour. When it reaches 20% without being plugged in, my prophet suddenly turns off. And shortly after powering on, it does so again.

now, i guess my battery has lost some capacity, which is a bit surprising since it did not show this behaviour some time ago. and moreover, i thought lion batteries do not have memory effect...

is there any way of reseting the battery, or at least adjust the display of remaining power?

cheers.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Accessories] john.smith:
how old is your battery now?

lithium batteries have little memory effect but it does not mean it can be used forever. the internal resistence will build up as it ages.

if you consider a new battery, which is less than USD20 delivered, have a look at this: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190194376659&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Accessories] chriskay:
thanks for your respons.

my battery is as old as my device, in other words: almost 2 years (20 months or something). could it have happened through flashing several roms? or may one of those roms have damaged the battery's capacity indicator?

it is not long ago that my device discharged regularily down to 6 or 5% giving me proper warning messages. but now it just turns off when it reaches 20%, which is weird...

last summer i bought a docking station where i put it every day when i do not use my device. but only recently have i noticed this strange behaviour. so i doubt it has something to do with it, does it?

well, any ideas apart from buying a new one?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Accessories] chriskay:
i do not know how and why, but my battery seems to have recovered just by itself. two days ago it shut down at 20% as it had done before. but when i started my device again, the indicator showed 0%, and since then all is working fine again... that is weird, but fair enough. :)

cheerio.

well not really, but it is not an original battery. it is a cheap one from china. it shows the same behaviour, but now only at 6%. i still have the feeling, it has something to do with hardspl.
