The free phone was only for those that sent PII after receiving the email. I received the email as well. I was not offered a free phone. I am canceling my order.

---------- Post added at 08:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 AM ----------

I received this email over night:

I responded to cancel my order.

This is slightly redeeming in that he at least admitted what has transpired is "unacceptable." However, the excite and trust I had in this company has been completely depleted, and I just do not find any comfort moving on with a delivery.

This phone was the only phone I've been really excited about in quite a while. Since the OPO maybe, and that was mostly about high specks at low cost. This excitement was about something new, a new design, and the seemingly high potential with Andy Rubin at the helm. The lies provided to me as excuses burned up all that trust and excitement. I do truly hope they pull it together and build something great in this company that I can get behind again later. As it stands, I'm out as soon as this is finally resolved.

For those that did ordered 8/16 and have heard nothing... get on to customer support ASAP. Try to escalate things on Twitter. That is the only way I got any sort of contact. Good Luck.

TL;DR - Essential is finally going to issue me a refund after all the B.S. They took more responsibility in the email, too, finally.
[Off-topic] lovemytab:
Hi there, I am not trying to troll here or anything like that... I am honestly curious about folks who would -or would not- work for a relatively boring company (in the IT sector) that pays between $45-60k. What I mean by "boring," is: the company does not have a physical office, it has no "culture," and your put to work at any one of its partner companies.

Please also indicate in your answer which category best describes you: (1) a college grad with an IT-related degree; (2) a high school grad with advanced IT skills and abilities; (3) a junior-level IT professional; (4) a senior-level IT professional.

I also expand this question to those who are not in the IT profession as well, so just replace where I say "IT" with the word "administrative."

Personaly I could not.

I'm in a (previously) small company which is growing fast. They are on the market for 10 years and need to build a new software for the next 10 years. I'm in the R&D team making this come true.

I know I could be better paid, but the challenge I'm facing and the trust of my managers is the more important. I'm a developer because I like coding, not because I want to get rich (of course, if I could have both...). The worst thing which could happened to me is getting bored.

So, definitive answer: NO!

And for my resume: I discovered coding when I was 14, and I do websites / webapps since 10 years (I don't know if that make me a junior or senior). I'm a lead dev of frontend developers.

Hello everyone

I am using a rooted Samsung phone running stock Touchwiz ROM. My home button has stopped working and so I'm unable to take screenshots. I tried the assistive touch screenshots feature but it's slow and doesn't work in most cases. I was wondering if I could probably edit the build prop or something to change the screenshot combo to power and volume down probably.

Any help will be appreciated :)
[General Questions and Answers] Ashwinrg:
I think screenshot touch app help you. It's not required hardware keys to press. When app is enabled small popup icon displays on the side of the screen. When you touch that icon it takes the screenshot immediately. Install it from play store
[General Questions and Answers] darshan1504:
Thanks for the suggestion but I already have the assistive touch icon roaming around my screen. One more icon will be quite distracting. I had considered this option but I would like to have hardware control over my screenshots instead of software. This is the reason why I put it up here. Flashing a ROM will be way too much for such a small thing
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpicyMom:
I have a Note 5 (model SM-920V), android 7.0..

Today I started getting a blue screen after making a call, it shows " Call Reminder" at the top of the screen, then gives a time saying "00:00 This Call Was Successfully Identified", a name for the phone number that is slightly different from my contact info, then shows an Ad at the bottom.

I have not downloaded anything new on my phone recently, I tried using CCleaner, and Lookout apps and they haven't been able to remove it. It's there anyone who knows what app this is malware from or how it was installed on my phone??

Blue screen Call Reminder issue

hi dear could you get any solution for this issue???
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vjlindse:
My issue is stemming from the GO SMS Pro application. I have a Samsung S7 and tested this by first disabling Notifications and all permissions for the GO SMS Pro app. After this, the annoying blue screen Call Reminder stopped coming up. Once I gave Notifications and the Permission for that app to use "Phone" it returned. I currently don't know how to specifically disable this feature while still being able to use the GO SMS Pro app as I did before, but I can tell you that it is frustrating. Hopefully some really nice and smart person reads this and figures it out

Thanks
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poofs:
I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!! Go into the GOsms messaging app. Choose the far right icon (mine looks like a person). Choose "General" then scroll down to "Other." One of the options is "Phone Number Recognition." Turn it OFF!!!!!!! I think that fixed it for me!

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] rochian_adrian:
Hi, i have a xiaomi mi 6. The bootloader is unlocked, officially.

My question is: can i relock the bootloader after i moved two apps as a system apps? The applications only work that way, or with root privileges. Those two app is needed to enable or disable android services.

I use banking apps, which detect rooted or unlocked phones. Safetynet need to

pass. Keeping root or magisk is not an option for me. Beside safetynet, those banking apps have their own custom detecting sistem, which magisk can't hide.

I have stock recovery now , root is removed (unrooted).

On my old sony z3 that procedures worked, dose is work on mi 6 too? Or it will brick the device.? A bricked device with locked bootloader is a nightmare...

I want a locked bootloader to be able to use fingerprint and use all of my banking apps. But i need to enable/disable services at any time.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] Lork Scorguar:
Hi,

From what I heard, if you relock the bootloader, you won't be able to unlock it again as xiaomi won't give you the right to unlock phone twice. So it's a bad idea.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] rochian_adrian:
Thanks for replying.

If you get permission to unlock officially, you cand unlock and relock as many times as you want.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] G4B33:
Absolutely not. If you made a modification of the system, dm-verity will notice it, and the phone will be stuck in a bootloop.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] thE_29:
Boot in custom recovery and move the app in system.. You dont need root for that. Just un-encrypted phone and TWRP.

Main problem will be, how you get the files from the apk. You could install it on another phone (which is rooted), make the app a system app and then get the folders of said app, which you can copy via adb to your Mi6. And in recovery mode you can mount system as rw.

OR

TWRP has a feature to make any app a system app (dunno)

OR

someone can make you flashable zip file for TWRP.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] rochian_adrian:
Thanks man, but converting app to system app is not a problem. I can do that with root or with twrp, as you mentioned.

The problem is relocking the bootloader after i moved app as a system app and disabled some services.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers] rochian_adrian:
Will dm-verity prevent my phone from booting if i flash no-dm-verity patch or disable dm-verity from twrp?

After i disabled it, flash stock recovery and relock?

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] garyHal:
Was there a recent system or phone app update that changed the behavioral display of contacts in the phone app? I have multiple GMail accounts, one has all my phone contacts, the other is only used for email purposes. I just noticed this on my phone today where my phone is displaying email addresses as separate contact entries in the phone app. Those addresses are people I have written to with my separate GMail account, but are not in my address book. If I launch the Contacts app, I can filter those email addresses out. But the Phone app doesn't eliminate them.

How do I configure the phone app to display only the contacts from a single GMail account?

THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED BY MMSLITE BUILD303

SEE POST 135: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2390456&postcount=135

Problem:

MMSLite does not work on the new WM6.1 ROMs

It installs with no problem, but then in the Messaging screen there is no MMS account.

Looking at the RASBook in the registry, it seems that the hidden connection necessary is being created. Also other registry entries connected to MMSLite seem to be okay.

History:

MMSLite is a program used to access (Japanese provider) Softbank's special push mail system.

Previous versions of MMSLite have automatically created a MMS account and the connection necessary to access this account.

This same problem happened with some WM6 ROMs that had the dual SMS/MMS account cooked-in.

Questions:

Does anyone know how to fix this? (Wouldn't that be nice.;))

Who is the creator of MMSLite and how can I contact him/her?

How has the structure of the Messaging application changed in 6.1?

Have other MMS-related applications been affected by changes in 6.1?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] GuestD0175:
The file "cemail.vol" can't be modified may cause MMSLite don't working.

And it cause spb backup fails to restore the messages.

It happens on some of the WM6.1 Roms, but the first one (WM6.1 from the Vietnamese BBS).

Anybody tested the "Softbank Mail" app on WM6.1?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] larsuck:
I gave up on that Softbank Mail app. It was slow and cumbersome. Personally, I would rather not be able to access MMS than use that software.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shilei7899:
Agree. Using Softbank Mail is really a pain.

Seems the app "DRAW" everything on the screen instead of using controls.:(

Maybe that's the reason why it's soooooooooooooo slow.

However, I will give it a try on this weekend.

it is the original HTC device (italian one, without phone company brand) with windows mobile 6.1

I can only receive emails with this software and to send I have to use another software (the one that is in windows mobile to sen MMS)

this is not a big problem...it is just boring!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tora201:
Not exactly sure why it is doing that. Make sure in MMS settings (under options in the your mail, and in Japanese メッセージ) you check:

常にメッセージをすべて受信

then do a soft reset, and should work. If not, I have no idea. -- Mine is fine at the moment.

Oh, as for sending mail, make sure your setting are EXACTLY as follows:

connection tab: softbank

mms server address: http://mms/

port: 80

mms gateway proxy: sbmmsproxy.softbank.ne.jp

port: 8080

user agent name: 708SC

user agent: SoftBank/1.0/708SC/SCJ001 Browser/NetFront/3.3

Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1

When putting in the settings make sure you save the above in your device as a text file or something, then open it and cut and paste them into the settings tabs. That way you avoid the potential problem of typos. Note, even if one character is wrong, you won't be able to send mail.

I have a friend using (number)@mms.tim.it ..any ideas??:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tora201:
As far I understand, mms is similar to email, and you should be able to send them to anyone with an email address....

therefore that address you mentiones should work fine.... could be a problem with the reciever? What is the error? It just bounces back?

Or it could be this: one thing I have noticed with the new version of MMS lite is that sometimes it doesn't send. It seems to just sit in the outbox. The old version always worked. This works about 80% of the time. The other 20% of the time, you need to re-send it. It will work, just takes 2 or three times to send it. :-( Better than nothing, I suppose.

Sorry can't help you any more than that. Glad you got it working though!

Itryed also the mms resender method... but nada!!!

now I found inanother post the original softbank software... I will try this... but my phone is not softbank so meybe it will not work!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tora201:
hmmm are you sure you checked the Japanese thing: always download the whole mail? 常にメッセージをすべて受信

It works for me.... I am sure it works -- just keep on trying. Oh to send the message, you have to make sure that you put in the settings into the server user agent exactly right. The best way is to actually make a text document (cut and paste out of my post above) and save to your SD card. then open it, and cut and paste into settings. Also, beware that it has to be in text format. If it is in .doc you will need to erase all spaces (hidden characters) before it will work. Try it and trust me -- it will work.

p.s you mentioned that to "send' mail you use the built in MMS composer? What composer is that?? Arcsoft?? If so that sounds cool! Arcsoft is WAY better than MMSlite. Please tell us more....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] marcolino985:
where is this??? 常にメッセージをすべて受信　??? i don't understand japanise...so it is a bit complicated... (is it under the third label... in the settings of MMS1?)

regarding the REG KEY:

i go here: HEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >>> Software >>> Arcsoft >>> ArcSoft MMS UA >>> Config >>> mm1 >>> WspHeader

and here i put on :

Profile: 708SC

is it correct??? maybe I did something wrong!

regarding the MMS Composer:

I followed this procedure:

it work without MMSLite. the problem is that sometimes I cannot receive the messages... I tried to understand why... but really I don't know, because sometimes I received the messages, sometimes no!!!

So i decided to install MMSLite where I always receive the messages but just the initial part!!!
