[Nexus 5X General] DennizzNL:
I'm also using the final build which I got through the beta program.

I like how O looks, and I like being on the latest version of Android, BUT!

- No pixel launcher

- No notification dots

- No choice of icon shape

- No automatic WiFi

Etc.

I don't understand why they are giving us the option to allow apps to gets notification dots, which don't work with the Google now launcher, which you can't get through (official ways).

The same goes for the choice of icon shape.

Everything is square, camera is round... Google play kiosk, music etc still have the old icons..

They didn't give us al the goodies the pixel got.

To me It feels like nougat, with a few visual changes here and there.

As Android O being the last big update for the 5X I think they should have given us the same goodies that the pixel got.

To make a long story short, I don't think O is a worthy "LAST" update for the 5X.
[Nexus 5X General] ritchea:
Help me understand what automatic Wi-Fi is. I may want to look at what I had on N. This is what I thought it was
[Nexus 5X General] DennizzNL:
I went from nougat to the latest beta and then final.

I believe that preview 2/3 had an option to automatically connect to saved WiFi networks( as in networks with password) which you saved on your Google account...
[Nexus 5X General] Nicktheprofessor:
That function has been available since the first version of Android I used which was back in 2011.

What's new is the ability to log into public networks that use a portal login through the click of a button and save the setting.

[Nexus 5X General] cxseven:
I saw that, but they seem to be saying that the link to go to the captive portal login page will be more obvious, not that the login itself will be something you can automate or save.
[Nexus 5X General] Nicktheprofessor:
No, they are saying that there will be a button in settings that allow you to auto login to public networks using portals you have previously visited.

At least that is what they should be saying, lemme go read that again... Yeah, that is what they are saying and that is what it does so they are correct.

They suck at explaining it but that is what it does and you can find the setting in the wifi settings and for a better description just click the three dots up right and tap help. ;)
[Nexus 5X General] larry62:
I believe the new Wi-Fi feature (missing in "O" on Nexus 5X) is not the prior capability (still available) to automatically connect to trusted public Wi-Fi hotspots with a Google supplied VPN built-in. The new feature is doing geofencing. It combines your saved Wi-Fi connections with an ability to automatically turn-on Wi-Fi if you're at one of those saved locations. If you're not there, it turns off the Wi-Fi radio which saves some battery. It's no doubt using location services to determine when to turn Wi-Fi on and off. It's really an automation for what many of us do manually today. Shame it's not on the 5X.
[Nexus 5X General] Nicktheprofessor:
It's partially implemented and since project treble is a reality you can just enable it through elevated privileges, for any device.

As implemented it works on public connections by enabling a setting and saving it.

Turning sleeping WIFI off might give you half an hour of extra battery time a month so I don't get the point of that, just let it stay on at all times unless you are spending entire days without wifi connctions.

All that said, Google VPN is a horridly unsafe solution with a point to half point encryption whereas the rest of the traffic remains unencrypted (it actually decrypts into open exchange which is more unsafe than using the standard encryption that is point to point) for tracking and ad sensing purposes so using it is kinda... silly.

The part about automatically connecting to trusted public networks which you have acknowledged including portal networks is nice though and we did get that.
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
After sitting on the thought for a while, I'm definitely gonna downgrade back to Nougat. Right now, Oreo is a mess for our phones. And I'm talking stock O. It's laggy, inconsistent, apps force close, performance isn't quite there yet. I understand that it's the new and shiny version, but until O gets refined later in the year with updates and more custom ROMs pop up, I think Nougat is the best at the moment.

I also think that our 5Xs are just at the end of life moments. With all the new phones coming out and new Android version being made with the new specs in mind, our little 5X just isn't optimized for it. Yes I know it'll get better as time goes on, but the truth of the matter is that we all need to move on to a device that's a bit more future proof. Aka Pixel 1 or 2.
[Nexus 5X General] rp158:
Rashly. Wait for a slim version.
[Nexus 5X General] theviper:
They are going to stop development of n5x in 2018 as stated by google
[Nexus 5X General] hozjacz:
Do you think, that the Oreo is the last official Android update for N5X?

In real, I have also the similar opinion - this first build of Oreo isn't so smooth like Nougat.

I hope, that the following updates will be better.

[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
I never said anything about the development of of the Nexus 5X, but yes this is common knowledge.

Oreo IS the last official Android update for the 5X (And 6P). Google supports their devices for 2 years. This is the second year for us, so this is the last official update.
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
Just wanted to say, I downgraded back to the lastest 7.1.2, went to the newest PA 7.2.3 and I almost want to cry because of how smooth everything is. Oreo absolutely isn't ready for the prime time for our devices. 100% claim.
[Nexus 5X General] hozjacz:
where do you think is the trouble? Has not Nexus 5X enough cpu power for Oreo or is the trouble on OS side?

Odesláno z mého Nexus 5X pomocí Tapatalk
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
I would honestly say OS side. I just went back to 7.1.2. and it is as smooth as BUTTER. Oreo felt laggy, rough, unrefined, etc. Like there aren't a ton of new animations, just a different color scheme, some added options here and there, etc. But nothing wild. So my honest guess is that Google did not fine tune Oreo's system for bullhead users, just kinda... Made sure it runs for intended devices and put it out there.

Another big problem is the lack of custom O ROMs just yet. Like I said, I installed PA 7.2.3 and PA goes under the hood to optimize the OS on top of the Android version, plus their in-house kernel. That's why my phone is running as good as it is now.

With that being said, I'll obviously keep an eye out on the development of Oreo and see how it comes along, but I would honestly recommend us 5X users to hold off on flashing it for at least a few months. Let Google release their patches, let the devs get their ROMs up to speed, and then it'll be just as good as Nougat.
[Nexus 5X General] flowserver:
Too slow, I open an app, and then switch back to other one and it takes to seconds to open..
[Nexus 5X General] hozjacz:
But I don't want to go back to the Nougat. I bought exactly Nexus, because I want to have the newest Android. I discover new features with pleasure... I'll try to wait to new updates from Google and I hope it will be better.

------EDIT-------

When we are by the new features, let me to ask: I don't understand new notification e.g. in Gmail. Is now possible to have different notification sound for each "folder" in Gmail? Up to Nougat was possible to set sound for each folder and now is there only something for Gmail and other or something like this. Can somebody explain to me shortly, how it works? Thank you and sorry for (probably) off topic...

-------EDIT 2 ---------

I have the second question, which was here mentioned, but..... Are we sure, that this version is really final version? I know, there is nothing about dew. preview, but...

Because:

- this build isn't on standard Factory Image web site

- my wife has N5X without root and so on (she using full stock) and she didn't get any notification about some update to Android 8...

It's strange.

[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
Yes, you and the rest of us got a Nexus for the newest Android versions upon release, and that's exactly what we got. But for some odd reason, Oreo is pretty sh*tty at the moment, unless you're a Pixel user, I'm assuming.

Which also leads me to believe as well, that while this IS technically a final image, at the same time...Maybe it's not? It's true that Oreo isn't on the standard factory image site like all the other previous versions are, but it's also not in the beta section either. It's in its own section, if I recall correctly. I don't know what the hell Google is doing, but that's certainly strange.

I understand that you want the newest features that come with the newest versions of Android, but the way I see it right now, the newest features doesn't make it a mandatory upgrade, especially with how poor the performance is at the moment. Going back to 7.1.2, the difference was as clear as night and day

Is it only me feeling laggy when I swipe left to see Google Now panel on pixel launcher? It's really annoying...

Anyone?
[Nexus 5X General] Atok_fr:
It's the same thing with Nova Launcher and Google companion app.

I go back to Nougat too, it's way smoother. I hope it'll be fixed in a future release, I feel like the first android version for the 5X, it was laggy as hell and Google fixed it with a brilliant update
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
OPR6.170623.013 up on the factory image site with all the other builds now. That's the same version, right?
[Nexus 5X General] :
Yes, that's the same version which was on developer site and the OTA that beta users are receiving. I even checked the the radio, bootloader and it seems everything is same.
[Nexus 5X General] r3act:
I'm running official 8.0.0 since the 23rd of august. It was feeling laggy initially but after 2 or 3 days as a dialy driver it feels good. This is with Nova prime, Nova Google companion and Sesame shotcuts. Maybe you guys should check under developer options if the animations are set to 0.5x instead of the stock 1x after a full wipe of your phone? It's always been the same; the first versions of 6.0 and 7.0.0 also felt a tad slower at first. Further optimizations will come with the following updates...

ADB sideload the full OTA image from Google:

https://developers.google.com/android/ota

Then reboot into bootloader and install TWRP and root.
[Nexus 5X General] nowster:
Your best bet is to get the factory image and install that, remembering to remove the -w from the flash-all.bat or flash-all.sh scripts.

ie. Change

fastboot -w update image-bullhead-opr6.170623.013.zip

to

fastboot update image-bullhead-opr6.170623.013.zip

Run the flash-all script whilst phone is in the bootloader.

Then boot, let it settle, and then reinstall your custom recovery (eg. TWRP) and use that to root (I can recommend Magisk).

Hi, I recently tried to root my S8 Snapdragon (SM-G950F) With Odin and CF-Auto-Root without success.

I could reset my phone but now I have some troubles:

Securitylogagent always alerts: I Fix it with a package disabler app.

I Can't install some apps from the Play Store: Netflix for example.. I download the apk by hand.

I Can't use Samsung Apps, like Health

There is any way to do a factory reset?

I don't want to change the factory ROM and I don't worry about the warranty, I know that I lost it and it's ok :P

Sorry if it is a very newby question, I'm new in this.

Thanks in advance!

Your only choice to get these Samsung apps and Netflix working is to flash a custom Rom, this will fix your issue. You can fix the issue as is but you will need to get root access, btw flashing twrp for the 1st time will most likely ask you to wipe data
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeaverWalter:
So yeah... Yesterday, my nexus 6P died; it just stopped doing anything. It worked until 2307 (that's what I could see via google activity).

I have no clue as to what has happened. It won't charge, it won't boot. The only 'clue' I might have is that my power bank makes beeping noises when I plug it in.

Being desperate I have already opened it up to see if anything came loose somehow, but there was nothing loose. I took everything apart and put it all back together but no changes.

I had stock android, nothing unlocked, just using the beta. If you want more details about the device, ask me.

Is there anyone here who might even have the slightest clue to what might have happened. (Warranty has expired so that a no go :( ) I just want to get all my text messages off as that is the only thing that is not constantly backed up online, but I don't know if it's possible without the phone being able to boot.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nm1557:
I was able to find a workaround for the battery percentage:

1. FIRST Get your battery capacity!!!

$ adb shell cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_capacity_max

800

2. Calculate your 100%

800

* 1.2 = 960

3a. Charge battery fully (UI will say 80%):

Use your new 100% value in place of my 960!!

adb shell

$ su

# echo 960 > /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_capacity_max

3b. To revert back (and see actual %):

put your old value in place of my 800 here

adb shell

$ su

# echo 800 > /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_capacity_max

Warning:

This is not persistent across reboots (but could be implemented as such)

This does not change the fact that your battery meter will say 80%

This confuses your phone into thinking the 80% limit is higher than it actually is

This could be harmful to your battery life, battery condition, and battery operation

The Control Chip on the battery itself should prevent any unnecessary charging from occurring

I'm just a guy on the internet, don't mess with your phone unless your are willing to pay for any mistakes.

How this works:

The Kernel reads the battery percentage from /sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity

We make the maximum battery capacity increase by 20% /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_capacity_max (the commands above)

Kernel reads the battery percentage from /sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity again and its now 20% lower because of capacity calculations (percentage = used capacity / batt_capacity_max)

Kernel lets the charging continue to 80% which is in actuality 100%

FAQ

Does this work?

Yes this works. The explanation is above. Succinctly, these commands trick your kernel into thinking the 80% limit is at 100% of the battery.​

Shouldn't we be adding 25% to reach 100% of the battery?

While this is correct, I tested a few percentages and noted that 20% increase will reach 99% battery on my phone. This does not mean it will for everyone.

PLEASE BE COGNIZANT OF OVERCHARGING

​

This isn't working for me, why do the values change?

You must be a superuser in the terminal for these commands to stick. They do not stick across reboots.​

This still doesn't work, wah wah wah. I wan't 100%...

I am trying to help the community. If you don't want help you can keep the 80% charge. Multiple people have said it works. If you don't want to try it don't. Blindly saying it doesn't work is only poisoning the well.​

But does it actually go to 100?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nm1557:
If you do step 3b after you charge to 80% it will change to say 100%.

Steps 1,2,3a will bring you to 100% charge physically; almost as if the battery meter was designed to go 0-80

Note: this charges to your battery maximum (regardless of what percentage it says)

That's 96%, multiply it by 25 to get 100%.

Hmm the original file says 948 though, strange.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nm1557:
Yours may be different. It's based off your battery stats. And it should only be 20% increase.

Write a shell script that runs on start.

This is a verbose way to do this, I am looking into a better way to get around the kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
Yes but you're multiplying 20% of 80 which is incorrect, that only gives you 96% not 100%.

If you subtract 20% from 1000 you get 800, but when you add 20% to 800 its 960, get it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nm1557:
That's the thing, The 800 value has nothing to do with percentage. It's variable across devices and its coincidence thats its 800.

i bit the bullet on this and went for it. everything seems to be fine so far. my max_batt_capacity value was 885, so 100% would be 1062, however, i backed it off to 1000, just to be safe. will update after tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBriggs:
If A is the number we want the phone to charge the battery to, and the phone stops charging at 80% of A, the number we need to set A to is A * 1.25 , not A * 1.2

So, if the original number is 800, we need to set it to 1000, since the phone will calculate 80% of 1000 to allow it to be charged until 800.

Does that make sense?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBriggs:
One thing that I didn't get.

Okay, the phone will think the maximum is 1000 and will try to charge the battery up to 800, which is the real target. Great.

The screenshot, though, shows the indicator on the notification bar close to 100%, in the rooted phone.

So, the routine that checks the phone charge and limits it to 80% is independent from the check embedded on the indicator charge, right? Otherwise the indicator would never reach 100% even on the rooted phone, and even though the battery was actually 100% charged.
