[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ~~Tito~~:
I am unable to activate Visual Voicemail either. When going to the Voicemail options in the dialer app I'm unable to select Google Voice like I usually can.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gk1984:
Even on my Nexus 6 prior to this phone, at some point selecting Google Voice wasn't an option in the dialer app. Still not on the Essential. But I still get visual voicemail via Google Voice app, even on the Essential. But I'm also integrated with Google Voice. Did you set it up through the Voice app and test it out?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] charlatan01:
I was looking at picking up an Essential from the local Sprint store. Has anyone tried to unlock it? I am on Tmobile, so it won't do me any good unless I can unlock it. :)

Am I blind or is there no setting / option to turn on wifi tethering?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jasonevil:
Hmm, it seems to be hidden but I found the shortcut using Nova launcher and adding a shortcut to the home screen.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] maltydog:
Could you give a little more detail on this? Where did you find the shortcut?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jasonevil:
Long press your home screen in Nova launcher, this may work with other launchers,

Pick the activities widget under Nova

Go to the setting entry in the list, find tethering
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] maltydog:
Wow, that's great, thanks. I use the Nova Launcher anyway, so this is great advice. I am curious about how you get to this under the phone's actual settings.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jasonevil:
Probably hidden at request by sprint.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] maltydog:
Thanks, it works well, I am tethering and logging in on a Kindle Fire. My phone seems to be running pretty warm, though.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jasonevil:
I don't tether anymore but when I used to, I found my phone would run hot. I'd keep a fan on it and plugged in lol.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] bullfrog527:
I've been using Google voice for my voicemail for a while. Love it
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] juancaperez2000:
FYI, I pick my phone from Sprint store ask the rep to do not activate and walk away, before turn it on, I remove the Sprint sim, pup in my Tmobile one and is working like a charm, no single Sprint app at all, still thinking if I should keep the phone or just return it and just pay the $35 fee.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Playlandwizard:
Your lucky when I went they emphatically insisted they activate it right there

Now, I'm totally stuck tried a factory reset and tried choosing a different network for cell service no dice.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Playlandwizard:
well i know with the sprint version once they set it up it's LOCKED.

And it will install apps from the google play store (5 of them) which ones I don't know I left it in this state and took it in and got them to give me anew sealed box., put a tmobile sim and it works just fine, i have not however put a sorint sim back in.

did you keep the phone?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Jonathanlc2005:
Been using Google voice since 2010. Don't need the app. It sends the voicemail via text and I can make international calls using regular dialer
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Quantumrabbit:
Did you find a way to unlock it, yet?

I unlocked the bootloader, and followed all of this: https://xdaforums.com/essential-phone/development/stock-7-1-1-nmj20d-t3701681

No joy. Was hoping that overriding one of the partitions would get the job done. Weird that with an unlocked bootloader, replacing all partitions does nothing. I TWRPed and got Magisk installed, but still SIM locked.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jaminw:
Im gonna guess that within the A/B partitions somewhere there's a trigger to reload something from Sprint that keeps it locked.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kbonnel:
I think you are right. I am not so worried about the unlock/lock aspect, but feel there is something "additional" on the sprint phones that is different from a firmware version. My PH-1 seems to start up the Sprint software when no sim is installed, which I just think is weird.

I am on H910. I have switched between NotSoStock and WETA at least twice and regardless of which stock ROM I'm on, my front-facing camera does not work. Has anyone had this happen before? How do you fix it? I feel like something happened to my system app.

There is no change between using the stock camera app and using Open Camera.

1.you've overclocked to over 240Mhz or

2. Dead battery.try changing your battery. if you've used your battery for over two years, and are using an overclocked CPU, this is the classical problem.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krzee:
My friend came to me today with his completely stock oneplus x acting weird. when he would press the applications icon on his home screen it would bring up applications and then display all open apps...

So i decided to reset his phone, not knowing that I needed to do it from within android and not from recovery.

Now his phone is stuck at the google verification screen, and he did not even know he had a google account, so has no chance of figuring out his password (we tried his most common ones). We don't even know his old google email address, but we know his phone number so we tried to recover access, to no avail.

I have tried to bypass this with things I found on google such as:

-inserting a usb via otg cable (file manager does not pop up)

-getting to settings via keyboard settings

-getting to settings via privacy policy after disconnecting wifi during connection verification

Does anybody have any ideas? I really don't want to owe my friend a phone just because I was trying to help him

[Android General] LilAnt530:
Okay so here's the story guys, I am simply baffled at the fact I am holding a ZTE Majesty Pro Android MM 6.0 handset.

I look through my /system/bin for cmd interface type programs & to my surprise I see a lot of friendly & functional tools I would even see a few on a device with BusyBox installed, so here is where my confusion starts,

I can call the 'am' command from terminal,

I can call the 'pm' one from ADB with permissions over any user app (not sure about system apps my guess is probably since I got AppOps running with ADB & the pm command)

I can chroot and the 'toolbox' command spits out a majority of BusyBox, + the 'cat' command is in there, along with the weirdest command thusfar

the 'ss' command (Im assuming safestrap?) it asked me for 64-bit ELF files.

I'd be happy to provide any other specs for my device if needed, would appreciate anyone willing to help me use p0six to root this internally encrypted pile of crap.

If i use the tablet while charging it does charge at 1200mAh and keep charging until 100%

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ante0:
B187 was released 2 weeks ago, B188 6 days ago. B181 was the last released before B187.

Most likely your IMEI isn't approved yet, it usually takes a month before it's approved.

Take C432B190 as example, it was uploaded on 6th of July. People started getting OTA 12th of August.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] egotheist:
mine was L29 from the very beginning. I'm on B181 without any updates available although FF sees two new firmwares. Let's wait, patience is virtue.

And I guess your bootloader is unlocked, so you can use HWOTA method for update.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bad_Times_210X:
I recently was toying with my S8 when I stunbled across an interesting find. As you know, the S8 has a built-in fingerprint scanner that uses fingerprints for various security measures. Did you know that you can use other parts of your hand (and even feet, not that it's useful, just interesting) to unlock the phone. You can register the pads under your fingers, the side of your hand, the pad below the thumb, etc. Honestly, this is probably already well known or just common sense that it would work given what the technology is, but I just discovered it, and I find it neat. You can use a different part of your hand to increase your security, as it is different from your fingerprints.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tachi91:
hahaha you sat there with your toes on your phone didn't ya?

But no, yea. Fingerprint scanners record the friction grooves on your finger tips. The same grooves that cover your entire body, but its easier to quickly scan your fingers then anything else since they're right there and we use them for everything pretty much. Your hands and feet friction grooves are more pronounced then anything else since their rough, you don't walk on your forearms and grip things with your face. Scanners have gotten more accurate which make them better at reading the softer grooves.

Hi

I bought Sharp 305sh rooted and unlocked.

It worked perfect in Europe until I left to USA.

In USA I couldn't use it with local simcard and I am afraid I make some changes in HiAPN App.

Now I am back in EU and I have no signal / no simcard info in the phone.

I did factory reset , but the problem remains.

Can someone help me with this issue?

I am trying to figure out what actually happen.

How can I check if my phone is still unlocked? Rooted? And what could I have done to lose the sim card recognition ?

[Blu Pure XL] 70741bb001:
My problem as it stands:

TWRP 2.8.6.0 is installed

The Pure XL will boot, load all the way into android, and load all the built in apps.

I cannot install apps, and the google play store sits in a downloading loop.

The internal storage is empty save for a twrp folder. I can still read and write to the internal storage via twrp

I believe what I have done is erase all the contents of the internal storage.

Factory resets with the 3-15-2016 OTA update does not restore these folders/files.

Biggest issue: THIS IS MY WIFE'S PHONE AND SHE WILL KILL ME IF I CAN'T FIX IT.

Was wondering if one you fine fellow/ladies would upload a copy on the internal storage folders and files from a clean install of the 3-15-2016 OTA update so that I can attempt to copy them manually into my internal storage.

I would also take any help in restoring these files myself if a straight copy of the files isn't an option.

Any help will be appreciated!
