[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Saadkhalid786:
I have been using this phone for about 2 months now and here's my Honest review.

The Android OREO fixed many things. the camera in OREO includes an option "correction for image distortion" so the only issue of this phone "camera distortion" is gone. there is also DRM fix available for this phone now. performance-wise many people said that the phone lags on some games but thats a totally different story. Asphalt 8 and all other gameloft games have stutter issues. the games that doesnt work smooth are probably due to optimization issues. this phone can run GTA SA on fully max graphics. antutu score is 180,000 which is awesome. the LPDDR4X ram is fast enough to hold and process all data without any drop in performance. we all know that the 4k display is running in 1080p and only enables 4k in apps that support it (like youtube and sony album).

there are a lot of good things about this phone. some people said that the speakers are very quite but they are forgetting the fact that both speakers are facing towards the user so in a noisy environment too the sound can be heard by the user easily and is nothing to worry about. the 3D Creator app is fun to play with. the camera can be even better if you know how to use it in manual mode so that depends on preferences of the user. as for the charging speed, it is quite brilliant actually. for example if you need some battery urgently then a 15 min charge would give you 30-35% battery and you will be good to go for about 6+ hours (SOT would be less, depending on usage). as for me, i ordered the spigen carbon painted case for this phone and now the phone looks even better. better grip better handling. the phone just amazes in almost every aspect. i have used s8, op5 and iphone 8 but there is something special about XZ premium. it just is perfect in every aspect that you can think of.

The 3230mah battery seems small for 5.46' 4K display but its running 1080p that too on 10nm battery efficient chipset makes up for it.

PS: im not a fanboy or anything like that im reviewing what i experienced. there are goods and bads about every phone and according to that logic this phone has too many goods and very very rare bads which arent even noticeable.

:)

Regards.

I have a verizon s8 that I'm trying to convert to a t-mobile s8. I have been following the carrier thread and I get the factory binary and the eng boot to flash fine but I can never get the home_csc to flash from the 950w firmware....It always hangs on setup connection or says something about invalid sha....not sure what to do. Any Ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] mweinbach:
were you using the modded odin when seeing invalid sha and also make sure you only have one version of odin open at 1 time.

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ----------

another tip, flash the G950U1 home_csc then flash the g950w home_csc and it will show up with US carriers.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] dbarrett480:
got it figured out....well I got it working, not really sure if this is what fixed it but I must've had the wrong odin and modded odin. I downloaded the ones in this thread and it worked. I was also following a different guide that had you flash eng_boot. This one didn't and so I skipped that part, which also could've been the answer. Thanks for the tips everyone!

How do I create a shortcut to start the camera in Pro Mode or get the app to use it as default?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] xoo88:
Yes you can

1. launch camera

2. swipe to right

3. click upper top right corner icon (next to plus)

4. select "add shortcut on home screen"

5. select "pro"

6. select "done"

7. go back to home screen, you will find the pro shortdown on your desktop

enjoy ~
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] nurps:
It fails at step 3, there is no +, this is not an S7..

There is only the 3 dot menu with "info" and "edit" while "edit" just lets me rearrange the modes in the camera selection screen.

Hello guys, I'm using the stock version of rom 7.1.1, I made the update via OTA today. I would like to know if there is any way to use safetynet in this rom, Magisk was installed without any problems and seems to work very well (with the exception of safetynet).

Can someone help me?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] flashallthetime:
We need the kernel source so we can modify it, until then magisks safetynet won't pass.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] larilieb1793:
Thanks for your answer, so the only way is to wait for the kernel ... I'm less distressed because I'm with the stock rom without root and twrp, and the only application that the play store will not let me download was Netflix, because my bootloader is unlocked... So it's ok, thank you!
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] flashallthetime:
There's a Netflix app that by pass the root check,I found it on apk mirror.

2. Install magiks 12.0 vía twrp

3. Boot your phone, install magisk manager and check the correct install of magisk

4. install the module universal safety net fix (https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/xiaomi-safetynet-fix-t3600431) via twrp

5. DO THIS!! >>> https://xdaforums.com/moto-z-play/how-to/magiks-moto-z-play-t3545473 .

[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Questions & Answers] mariomxpx:
Hello,

I bought a ZE553KL 32gb/3g RAM model. At first I didnt know that the 32gb model has only 3gb RAM.

Well, upon using the smartphone I noticed that apps wont stay in background (RAM) for too long, example:

- I open facebook app, browse a little, then I open another app, use for a little time and when I switch back to facebook it has to load again 95% of the time.

- If i open the Antutu Benchmark App and then go to home screen, and switch back it has to load again, I dont even need to open another app for antutu to be closed.

I also noticed that the system wont let me use more than 2.2GB approximately, which means the system shuts down apps when i have less than 900MB or 800MB free RAM which for me makes no sense. why would they make a 3GB RAM phone that doesnt let you use it? What a waste of RAM.

I tried disabling the option "Clean up in suspend" at the auto-start manager and even disabling the whole Mobile Manager App. but nothing helps. I rarely can switch from an app to another without it closing.

Have someone had the same experience? does it happen on the 4gb RAM model too? can I do something about it? it's really annoying me and i'm thinking about getting a refund on this purchase, very disappointing
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Questions & Answers] DriveEuro:
Nevermind
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Questions & Answers] mariomxpx:
I tried everything, even developer options, doesnt matter what I do, the android wont let me use more than 2,2GB and everytime I want to switch to another app it has to load again, every damn time.

I guess the only solution would be a custom ROM, does anyone know when we will get one?

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] nomailx:
The so called distortion there is when trying to take a photo with the XZP camera is common to all smartphone cameras. And this distortion disappears when entering Video mode. Test it for yourself using this target:

https://static.bhphotovideo.com/explora/sites/default/files/bandh-test-target.jpg

You don't even need to take a picture. Just check the target first in Photo Mode, and then switch to Video Camera. You will see that in Video mode, there are no distortions.

Obviously this is not a lens issue but a software issue. They could fix it with an update.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Ypallage:
I don't think you're aware that there are more than one lens in a camera lol
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] jaseman:
Ummmm, I am no camera expert (as you no doubt are) but with a single lens camera ALL images are going through all the lenses (if there is more than one) as they are stacked one on top of the other! It's not as if one lens is moving out of the way while another one goes to work. LOL :eek:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] nomailx:
Exactly.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] vansmuk:
[MENTION=4345774]nomailx[/MENTION] this has been discussed at lenght in several forums. Partially, you are right. A fix is possible with a software update but life is never black or white, sdadly.

The tech that is fixing distortion in Video mode is Sony's magical stabilization algorithm(parts of it anyway). For a huge variety of reasons, it is off during picture mode.

I am fairly confident they were aware of the minor (yep, we've seen much worse on smartphones) distortion and decided to go with it, as fixing that would take away from somth else. Balance in the universe and all that..

If they decide to tweak or not, we are yet to see.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Knowbody42:
Actually, it would be more accurate to say that it is a lens issue, but it's a lens issue that most smartphone lenses will have.

Normally it should be corrected for in software with a profile of the specific distortion of the lens, but for some reason Sony haven't done this.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] nomailx:
This is ...

... correct.

But only Sony would put the best wide lens camera without a proper software. Cause they're too busy to ... Actually I have no idea about what they're doing. Even they don't know what they're doing.

And maybe you may have heard the Actual XZ Premium's Speakers capabilities when listening to a "not so common" HD Audio file and wonder: Wait what? The Speakers can sound like that? But then why they don't sound like that with 95% of the media and Apps. Again, Sony's failing on the software department.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bolakale30:
Please my Samsung 19505 chooses when to boot, the problem just started all of a sudden, when I plug it in, the battery icon flashes and disappears, it does it for a while. Then boots at probably the 150th attempt. I have used different batteries still the same result. Once the phone comes up it works seamlessly. I have flashed it. No changes. Is my motherboard failing
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
For God's sake, it's I9505, not 19505. There's a difference.

And your power button may be the cause of the problem. Otherwise it's your motherboard. Those issues can't be pinpointed exactly.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bolakale30:
Thanks for the reply, it's not the power button, the power button works perfectly well for other operations;locking, taking screenshots, etc.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
That doesn't mean it's not broken. Maybe it is malfunctioning.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bolakale30:
How do I check or correct that?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
In my limited repair knowledge (meaning none), I would say by taking it to somebody who deals with these things.

There's no way around opening the phone, whether it's the motherboard or the power button.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unessential:
For the past few months I've been searching for a way to root my 915 safely (and be able to restore to it's original state if I need -- for use of the radio)

As far as i know the only way to root the H915 (V20 canadian version) is to convert it to one of the US models through firmware (disables LTE radio IIRC). I don't use the LTE radio but I never converted it because all the guides I came across keep saying it's irreversible. -- With posts following saying until there's an image released for H915.

Well, Today on my search (I do this every couple of weeks) I found this page

Just got this message:

=( So I guess i'll have to do it this way

https ://lg-firmwares. com / lg-h915-firmwares/

Assuming the images are legit. (I haven't tested them). Is the process now reversible? I also recall reading in comment threads that People were having trouble getting the firmware to recognize their phone as a certain model.

If i go through with the conversion, Is there a way to force the LG software to flash this image or recognize it as 915? How easy will that process be..

And of course, Is there anyone who's gone with the conversion willing to take the risk and use these images? I'm excited that there are H915 images and am cautiously optimistic... I'm also downloading all of the images for the 915 in case the site goes down and I need to reupload them somewhere.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unessential:
Nevermind. Going over the guides I had already seen, and trying to find out about the phone identification on my own. I saw one of them had that link already. I will read through it again. I couldn't find a delete button -- only an edit button. sorry.

It's difficult since it's an uncommon variation and the resources and guides are spread apart and are not consolidated very well..

the guide that had it said the phone had "no service" rather than just no LTE. and IIRC said there was service but just no LTE but you couldn't restore --now I have to find that one too.

edit: oh I understand now, It's not firmware that's unavailable, it's the recovery rom that's unavailable so it's irreversible... =( And no way to make lg software to recognize as 915 after conversion as i stated in the original post.
[General Questions and Answers] maJor954:
Hello everyone.

Yesterday I installed a game called Ace Fishing, and since my Galaxy S7 Edge Exynos is rooted, the game detected it and refused to run.

I looked on how I can hide my root, a quick Google pop up suggested to tick off the Enable Superuser in the SuperSU app options. So I did it and it indeed helped.

Until I realized when I try to launch SuperSU again I get an error saying the binary couldn't be found and it mentioned something about android version 5 or something.

I ended up updating SuperSU to the latest version through Google Play and now when I launch SuperSU I get SuperSU Root Undetected message.

I can still see my old options and if I am fast enough even tap on settings in SuperSU.

Basically my question is, how can I tick the option back on? I cannot use some root-only programs now, and I can't reset everything from scratch just to tick the option back on, I'm in base away from any computers for the next week.

Please someone tell me there's a way to close the message screen and tick SuperSU Enable option back on, any way to edit the settings from the folder or anything at all, please.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you are using mode edit: app name removed and mode edit: app name removed then you won't get any help here. Those are considered warez, warez is software that is designed to steal paid software(the kinds of things the developers around here are responsible for building) or get items free that should be paid for.

This website was founded BY developers, FOR developers(the kind of people your software is designed to steal from), it wasn't created for us everyday users, they just "allow" us access to the work that is done here. You are using software that you obviously use to get paid games for free and to get in-app purchases for free(this is stealing from the developers of those games, they are probably even members here, it is also against the XDA Forum Rules), then you come here looking for help with a device that you have been using to steal from their colleagues. How much help do you think you will get with that?

The truly loyal members here won't help you with this.

I DO NOT PROVIDE HELP IN PM, KEEP IT IN THE THREADS WHERE EVERYONE CAN SHARE
[General Questions and Answers] maJor954:
How much help? Enough from a decent person I assume. You can't just come barging in spitting that at me, you can't judge or know how much I actually put into buying apps or in-apps. Everyone's used these before, and I believe if you're going to be honest with yourself you'll admit it too.

Either way, the fact here remains that my SuperSU is messing around and I don't seem to have root access tempirarily at least. If your problem lies within what apps I download that use root, you've got a serious problem and should stick to yourself. I couldn't care less about those apps, right now I just want this question answered: can I fix this problem without using a computer or reflashing everything?

For anyone else who may be of help; using root checkers show that I have no root, even though I do and I simply ticked off the Enable SuperSU option in SuperSU settings, I didn't full unroot or something, simply tried to hide the root so I can access a game that ws blocking rooted devices.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
My reply wasn't to be rude, it was to state facts to make you aware that the software you use, the activity you participate in and the device you do it on and discussions of "how to" are not allowed in this scenario.

You use software that isn't allowed in this forum which is clearly defined in the forum rules that you were supposed to have read when you created your account here and you most likely use it to steal software and paid items.

Then you want to talk about a "decent person"?

No, I don't use warez, at all, there's nothing I need or want that requires being purchased. If it isn't free or if I don't buy it, I don't use it.

I don't have a problem with whatever root apps you use. The administrators, senior moderators and moderators here have a problem with "warez" specifically, the device it is used on and the people that use it. By the time one of them sees this thread, they'll probably just delete my posts, then leave a post here informing you of the rules and close this thread. Fair warning was all I was giving you. By all rights I should have reported your thread but I try to help members learn their way around to avoid them getting reported. So, in effect, I was trying to inform you and help you avoid the issue here.

[General Questions and Answers] maJor954:
Um, okay? I appreciate it, I guess?

I don't need help with warez, SuperSU isn't warez, I'm just trying to figure out if there's a way to get my root status back again. Dealing with a headache with no answers to (as far as I've searched) and its all because a single button.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
But you need help with the device that you used warez on.

If this thread stays open, you might get help, who knows. I'm just saying that the serious people here won't.

There is a simple fix, I'll give you a hint, the process will probably cause you to lose your data.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] The Horak:
Hey guys. I've had this issue since October, and it's yet to go away. My app drawer in the Pixel Launcher is really choppy as I scroll. Whether I scroll quickly or slowly, it looks terrible. Tons of lag. I was hoping that this would go away with updates, but I'm now on 8.0 and still no difference. The only thing that seems to make it better or worse is the number of installed apps. The less in the drawer, the less it lags.

I've done some Googling, and it doesn't seem like an issue for anyone. Still, I thought I'd ask. Anyone else have this issue? Any idea how to fix it? Thanks.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] The Horak:
