I'm experiencing the random reboots too.

Oct. 8.0, Magisk, Root

I almost missed an alarm due to this, so I think I may go back to Nougat. Not only does it reboot, but it gets stuck in the boot screen. If I hold Power and reboot, it comes up though.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] GCbard:
Hi everyone,

I just wanted to get an idea of what you all though about the essential phone vs the oneplus 5. Why you bought/or thinking of buying one over the other...
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Pho3nX:
LOL, don't waste your time... OnePlus 5!

I have a OnePlus 5 (8/128) and i don't want this ugly Essential Phone
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] worldsoutro:
The essential is beautiful
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
If there is a decent amount of development for it, I'll most likely consider getting one
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Yousvel:
For me, oneplus 5 is the most essential phone so far!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
The biggest selling point for me would be custom software development. OnePlus was always well supported. OnePlus 5 had working recoveries and root within a week from its launch.

Essential is pretty new to the game, so let's see what it can do.

Being created by Andy Rubin I assume it should be pretty developer-friendly.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Devhux:
What really makes the Essential phone better than the OnePlus 5? I really don't see anything outside of a bezel-less screen
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] lunafag:
Essential has no headphone jack. A pointless device that just blindly follows the latest trends. And the kernel sources aren't released for it yet, that should give you an idea how dev friendly it is.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] davfiala:
Any sources to vulnerablities present in 1+ phones?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] lunafag:
Well I'll just be removed from the list of their potential customers.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Devhux:
No way. You are the one who brought it up so it's up to you to defend your position. Both the OnePlus 5 and Essential run Android, and there's nothing about one device being cheaper that means it's more open to vulnerabilities.

If you're referring to the ability for App Locker to be bypassed, that's going to be resolved with a system update, and any device could have had a similar flaw
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
Removing the headphone jack is kinda stupid in my opinion. Other than saving space and making it possible for the phone to be even thinner, there's no real benefit to removing it.

What's next to be removed? The charging port and force us to use wireless charging? If the phone has to sit on a stupid pad, it's not truly wireless. Unless I can walk around the house with it, while it's charging, it's not truly "wireless". Wireless means no wires, but it also implies mobility/freedom.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Devhux:
That has nothing to do with the OnePlus being a "cheaper" device. It's part of the compromises made for a very developer-friendly phone. I'm sure if the Essential's bootloader is easily unlocked, people will find some vulnerabilities with it as well.

Samsung and BlackBerry have focused on security for their phones, which often means locked bootloaders and limited access to modding abilities (not that it isn't possible, but once you do, you completely break their security layer (Samsung Knox, for instance).

There is absolutely nothing to suggest Essential has a security barrier like Knox, so your point is pretty much meaningless in a thread comparing OnePlus to Essential.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
I'm on the fence between the OnePlus 5 and the Essential phone, myself.

After owning a long line of Nexus devices, a OnePlus 3, then a Google Pixel XL, I made the switch to the Galaxy S8. Overall, the S8 has actually been great. But it does come with its annoyances, namely Samsung CONSTANTLY trying to push their proprietary apps through random weekly notifications and the Bixby interface. I've disabled a lot of the Samsung bloatware apps but the phone still lags/hangs more often than my OnePlus 3 or Pixel XL ever did, which is just sad. So I'm ready to get back into the more "pure Android" experience.

I was initially planning on holding out until the Pixel 2/Pixel XL 2 were announced but reputable rumors are consistently showing that the regular pixel will just have a 5" screen with huge bezels again and the XL 2 will be a monster of a phone with a 6" screen that matches the size of the S8+ but with even larger bezels. It will be pushing 6.4" tall, which is simply too big for me. So I've decided to look at other options. The reviews of the OnePlus 5 have been excellent and I was extremely close to pulling the trigger on one until news of the Essential phone really started to break recently.

These days I don't really root/mod my phones so that isn't much of a concern. And after experiencing the bezel-less life of the S8, it would be tough for me to go back to something with 2015/2016 size bezels. This is why the Essential phone really has my attention, at the moment. Plus the design of the Essential phone is very original and I love just about everything about it. However, I will admit that at least OnePlus makes good use of the large bottom bezel with the capacitive keys and finger print scanner. Not to mention that it costs over $150 less than the Essential Phone.

Personally, I'm having a really tough time deciding between the two. At least I've ruled out all other options, at this point.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] GCbard:
The 8ngig of ram is nice. I have oneplus 5 8 gig ram version. I am looking g at the essential phone BC it looks so great.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
While I'm not usually one to harp solely on specs, the Essential phone coming out with just 4GB of RAM is a head scratcher. Apps and OS features are taking up more and more resources these days and we are hitting a point where 4GB RAM just isn't cutting it anymore. Which is why I'm also surprised that the 2nd generation of Pixel phones are rumored to only have 4GB of RAM, as well.

I should say that the use of an LCD display on the Essential Phone is a bit baffling, also. It's 2017, OLED screens are the new standard. I'd understand if they stuck with LCD to cut costs and make the phone cheaper. But it still starts at $700, so that logic doesn't seem to hold. And to top off the negatives on the Essential Phone, all the current video reviews are very "meh" about the camera performance. All of this has me realizing that I'd only be getting the Essential Phone for the bezel-less design. Hm....
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
I would honestly wait until the Essential is released for general public. Those "reviews" are more like previews at the moment. So, if you're not in a hurry, wait a lil bit longer.

I heard the new Nokia 8 also runs stock android and it starts at 600€ so it may also be an option.

I am honestly satisfied with the OnePlus 5. But this is very subjective since I'm coming from a Galaxy S4 and the OnePlus 5 is a huge update.

Too many gimmicks on that device. Its a 300 dollar phone at a 900 dollar price tag. I dont see the point in accepting this newcomer. Gotta figure Rubin "left" for a reason. I doubt this thing will catch on. If Huawei cant in the us i doubt this thing can worldwide
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] liam_davenport:
If Essential provide sources and keep it quick it could be the phone to go for regardless of the price, After owning a OP3 for a year the software and sources have been hit and miss.. closest we'll get to a Nexus atm but Essential could be the new nexus since they provide the same support as Google on the software side, OP however it could be abandoned any time.. Let's hope Essential hit it right

I own an amazfit pace smartwatch,bought 2 weeks ago.When i connect it with my PC and laptop(windows 10 & 7) via usb cable they don't recognize it as hard disk in order to see watch folders and import some music following the correct instructions.I hear the characteristc sound when i connect usb.When i browse to device manager i notice that in windows 10 there is no problem with drivers but in windows 7 there are drivers missing.I try to use the download online function but with no result.I feel that is a very simple problem but i am very frustrated because i can't find any solution.Also i am really impressed that it isn't reported such a problem in your great forum,or i didn't notice it browsing the threads.Thank you in advance for your help!!!
[Amazfit] droidhd:
Did you tried with restarting watch? Or maybe hard reset of watch? Try also another USB cable.
[Amazfit] nizzamms:
have same problem, try every pc, new and old windows .. one of the solution i clean the contact point behind the watch, is blocked with our dead skin
[Amazfit] tong053:
I face the same problem, I uninstall the driver from the device manager and re-plug again, now it can detect now.
[Amazfit] onisimos:
i used new usb cable--> problem remains

i restarted watch-->problem remains

i cleaned the contact point-->problem remains

i uninstalled the driver(windows 10) and reinstalled it-->problem remains

i uninstalled the driver(windows 7) and reinstalled it-->

PROBLEM SOLVED

But my main PC runs windows 10.There must be a simple solution...

the last solution so far is the hard reset.I will inform you when i try it..:)
[Amazfit] sl1122:
I solved my problem. When you connect amazfit it will appear in devices and printers. When you right click it and open properties (somewhere there) you can change the driver from google nexus adb interface to USB composite device. Then It will appear as disk in my computer.
[Amazfit] BravoCharlie:
Mine working on Windows 10, detected as MTP device. I do have ADB universal drivers installed but it also works on my Win 8 laptop with no additional drivers installed.
[Amazfit] musquinoso:
I'm suffering the same problem after many changes of rom and music uploading in the last months. Now the watch is not recognized (unknown device error 43) under 3 w10 PCs, different cables and usb ports. Cleaned contatcs and charging properly but no way to connect with the PC. Desperated...

Any help or piece of advice are welcome
[Amazfit] nisekvu:
Could you please share the driver link by any chance? .....I couldn't find one ...as I saw from internet I need something like MTP driver...tho all the things are done manually .. so complicated..im using win10 64bit as well, a surface pro4 and my amazfit rom is 1.3.4f thank you!
[Amazfit] fzelle:
Windows 10 comes with the MTP driver, so that is not the problem.

I have seen it numerous times that the watch charges but it doesn't get a pc connection.

It is always connected to a bad contact on the back.

Either you have to clean the contacts better or your dock is not working reliable.

A co worker of mine had that and he tried my dock and it worked, so he ordered a cheap one ( not that "bridge" thing ) from ali.

Working since then.
[Amazfit] Kash Malaysia:
Problem solved

I had same issue but manage to resolve. Go to device manager - USB controllers - right click on the device not found - Update driver s/w - Browse my computer for driver s/w - Let me pick from a list - Untick "show compatible hardware" - Choose Manufacture: standard USB host Controller & Model: USB Composite Device - click next.
[Amazfit] slackovic:
I don't know what happened to my Pace. I could connect to it with no problems until now (last PaceFIED I installed was rel 30). Back then (two weeks ago) everything went smoothly, but now when I connect my Pace, "adb devices" can't find the watch. Adb drivers are installed (minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4_setup.exe). I have changed NOTHING on my computer since the last time I connected the watch, but now it can't find it.

I have cleaned the contacts, restarted the Pace... Nothing is helping. Anyone have any idea? :(

EDIT: Never mind. The post right above helped :)
[Amazfit] radofurianin:
quick fix

I had installed adb correctly so what I do ?

For me worked to clean pins in smartwatch gently with toothpick and after that connect it again to the docking station/charger.
[Amazfit] zelitrex36:
I don't have your luck guys. Watch is new so clean (but I still tried to clean the pins), I have no "device not found" and not a single sound when connecting the watch on 3 different computers.

The charge indicators is showing tho... so the watch receive power from computer usb ports...

any idea ?
[Amazfit] seadoh:
Has anyone tried changing the USB port settings to control power? It's in the device manager for the USB ports (properties). That worked for me (found it on the net with a similar issue)
[Amazfit] zelitrex36:
I solved my problem with the most stupid change I could do...

I read somewhere (can't even find it) that some people have had problems with the original usb cable... After 5 hours of adb drivers installations, factory reset and whatever, I just remembered that sentence and changed my usb cable. Now it's working perfectly.

While it's so simple that you can think "how couldn't he think of that before?"

Answer is : the watch is charging so no reason to be suspicious...

That could help someone would just bought it...
[Amazfit] sashakrauzer:
I resolved this problem, just connected USB cable on other port.
[Amazfit] greg_h_w:
I have the same problem :(
[Amazfit] zelitrex36:
As stated in my previous message, I'd solved my problem by plugging another USB cable. Did you try a wire of yours?
[Amazfit] greg_h_w:
Yeah, I already try to change the cable with another one, but still no luck. This is weird to me because before that I can use that cable to connect it with my PC and now it doesn't detect at all, only work for charging. And if I use that cable to connect phone it work normally :(
[Amazfit] tekka19:
Work for me like this

1. connect amazfit, on

2. open device and printer

3. find amazfit pace on unspecified folder

4. right klik, properties, open hardware tab, properties, on general tab open change setting

5. open driver, you find uninstall driver is on, uninstall and check on the box "......." I forgot what it is. ok,

6. automatically the driver installed again, or if nothing happen just refresh or reconnect the amazfit. the amazfit pace will showed in Computer
[Amazfit] greg_h_w:
thanks for your suggestion, but I think the problem on my Amazfit charging dock because I don't hear any sound when connecting it to my PC. Or is there any option like Android phone we can change it to MTP or charge only.
[Amazfit] tompok82:
Your method solves my problem

I'm using AmazFit Stratos (Pace 2) + Windows 10
[Amazfit] greg_h_w:
Today suddenly my Pace got detected again when I try to charge it using PC (about 50% battery). But after that (80% battery), the issue back again :(
[Amazfit] Petterettep:
Had the same problem. I followed above suggested driver change and it WORKS at my Pace too! Now "Amazfit Pace" drive appears on my Windows 7 (32 bit) laptop ;). Thanks sl1122! :good:
[Amazfit] Petterettep:
Still having connection problem with an other Windows XP PC. Has somebody a solution (driver?) for Amazfit Pace - Windows XP (32 bit) connection problem?
[Amazfit] BillyXD:
My case was just cleaning the conection pins
[Amazfit] angel_dope:
Worked perfectly for me, thank you.
[Amazfit] lawrnz:
Sometimes a simple cleaning of the connection pins works. Use cotton buds. Put alcohol on the other tip and keep the other tip dry. Use the tip first with alcohol on it. Clean the connectors on the back of the watch as well as on the charging dock. Use the dry tip to finish it off. Make sure as well that the USB cable you are using is capable of data transfer.
[Amazfit] tsiftsism:
I followed the steps that solved the problem for you.

Now my pc with win7 can recognise my Stratos watch.

Thanks a lot.
[Amazfit] orion1968:
Change USB cable

PC: Win10 desktop (dell) -- NG

Win7 desktop (dell) -- NG

Win10 notebook (jumper) -- NG

Finally, I bought USB cable from Aliexpress.

Then, 3 conputers can connect my Amazfit Pace.

:D
[Amazfit] csakthikumar:
How you solved this
[Amazfit] greg_h_w:
Unfortunately, I can't solve this problem ... I think there is a hardware problem... because I already bought another dock, and the problem still persists
[Amazfit] dreamsayer:
bingo, this is the solution, you've already solved it... worked like charm for me.. thanks for the solution.
[Amazfit] mehrdad_ati:
nailed it. solved my stratos3 issue on windows10 in 10 sec :D thanks alot

[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] razzledazzle83:
As the title says neither TB nor TWRP will recognize my SD card, the backup on it respectively. I made a Nandroid-backup with TWRP 3.0.2 on my Z3C, put the SD card into my XC and tried to restore from said Nandroid-backup but TB doesn't even recognize the SD card. Says there is no TWRP folder/backup on it. But there definitely is. I can see it in the browser. I also copied it to my internal storage and from there I could access it without problems.

Weirdly enough TWRP also doesn't recognize the backup folder. When I select to restore and select my SD card there is no backup to choose from. I'm using TWRP 3.1.1 on my XC.

Phone is rooted and running the latest fw 34.3.A.0.217 with Genesis kernel 1.05-nondrm

Is the backup faulty or could it be because of some incompatibilities with the kernel?
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
Backup a file so TB makes a new folder then copy your the contents of your backup into it and try again and you need to select your SD card in TWRP.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] razzledazzle83:
I backed everything up with TWRP to my SD card. The folder is there, as are the files.

TB just doesn't recognize my SD card at all. It only recognizes my internal storage, but not my SD card.

When I copy the TWRP backup from the SD card to the TWRP folder on my internal storage I can restore from Nandroid backup.

But I think that the backup is faulty too, because after restoring contacts and messages to test it the apps crash. When I open the telephone app it crashes and says "android.process.acore" has been closed. It says the same when I open the messaging and contacts app but the messaging app doesn't crash.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
I was talking about TB and what I've done in the past after restoring my Phone to get TB to recognize my files. Browse through a few pages of the TWRP threads, I'm sure I've seen similar issues reported about the SD.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] ypnos42:
A common solution to this problem is to 'Clear Cache' of affected apps in their App Info / Storage dialog.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] razzledazzle83:
Yes, I have restored data+cache. Maybe that's what caused the errors. Weird thing is, no messages were restored except the drafts I didn't send but saved.

I've read somewhere that since 4.4.4 TB cannot read/write a partition it wasn't installed on. Did you mean that? To create a TB folder on the SD card so TB will have access to the SD card?

Edit: ok, so I tried this method

create a folder on the external sdcard,using the following folder-structure:
/storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/
If you already have existing backups, move them with a file-explorer from their current place to:
/storage/extSdCard/Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/
Lastly, go to the preferences of TitaniumBackup, choose “Backup folder location” and choose the above specified folder.
Finish.

And it does kinda work. I do now have access to my SD card via TB. But it still says there is no TWRP folder on it. I even copied the TB backup to the TWRP folder and the TWRP folder to the TB folder. No luck.

Also TWRP doesn't recognize the TWRP backup I created on the SD card even though it recognizes the card itself.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] umiteks:
