After 3 months fighting to don't root my cellphone it start to have random battery drains and slowthe performance.

My question is if any of you felt any performance / baterry improvement after rooting and installing a custom ROM. I know most of them say battery and performance improvements but usually they are quite similar to the stock ROM, there's why my doubt.

If any of you could give me some enlightening about it I would appreciate.

Thanks for your time in advance

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] hellot1M:
I've never had a phone that was good at taking night shots. I'm coming from the LG G6 and the night shots suck just as much as any other phone. Don't see what the big deal is.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] m3lover1:
Quick question. Can you check the display settings and see if there is a blue light filter? Or night light whichever they call it? Thanks!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] superchilpil:
The phone ships with stock Android 7.1.1

If you would look at the features within Android you'd know it would have that feature... Or you could google it.

Yeah, I am really enjoying this phone...the only things I wish it had were the fingerprint gestures and the night mode. Those are the only things I miss from my Pixel XL. Anyone know if the apk's for those are floating around? Would be nice to install like the Google HDR camera app which seemed to improve the camera a bit.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tomsenna:
I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this...

Cyberon VC seems to have an accuracy problem depending on the pitch of your voice. I finally noticed it after it was more flakey than normal in the morning when my voice is a bit deeper. I started experimenting by varying pitch while keeping the pace and pronunciation the same. Sure enough, it seems that accuracy suffers with the deeper voice.

MS VC is far more accurate and doesn't exhibit the same problem with pitch. Anyone?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tricsio:
Adding to your post, MS VC does not require the learning process in order for the voice recognition to be establish (that was the big selling aspect of the product)

CVC does not compare to MS VC on any level except for the idea to send a command.

Marketing wise, the price of both software makes a different. - We sometimes have to buy the cheapest in order to accommodate.

Question: If I install a full stock zip, does it overwrite:

Boot stack? <- Yes if from stock recovery / ? if from TWRP

Fastboot? <- Yes if from stock recovery / No if from TWRP

Recovery? <- Yes if from stock recovery / Yes if from TWRP

I've flashed a full stock zip and fastboot. just want to make sure I don't need to also flash stock bootstack for RMA purposes.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
If you want to RMA your phone, flash an official zip through the official recovery. Those overwrite the bootstack, the recovery and the bootloader. Or use MiFlash. But I wouldn't risk locking the bootloader with not everything fully stock...

After flashing the official zip use axon7toolkit to relock.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] witchcraftz:
I followed this process and I locked my phone.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73576556&postcount=47

I'll download the latest Official Zip form ZTE and flash it officially just to make sure.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] witchcraftz:
I have been able to download OTAs and update this way.

But when I try to flash a Stock update.zip either from SD card or internal storage it gives me an error about not being able to mount the SD card.

Will the OTA updates also overwrite to boot stack?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] witchcraftz:
The phone downloaded the OTA for B19 and was able to run the update. How does ZTE check for a phone having been modified? Are there some steps or commands that can be run to check before sending it in? Should I just reflash the B19 full stock from Miflash to be sure everything is back to stock?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
We don't really know if they check it at all. Someone said he sent it unlocked and they disn't even notice.

Just be sure that the 5 second screen doesn't show up when you turn it on. Should be enough

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] eric.clay42:
I just got a headphone jack extender off amazon so I can actually plug my headphones in without having to disassemble my case every time.

Unfortunately, I'm now getting weird audio artifacts when I try to listen. In one song, the left channel has the voice really quiet and sounds like an echo, almost like it mistakenly detected 5.1 audio or something and got the channels mixed up. In another song, the crescendos sound like they're "ringing" where the volume rapidly goes up and down like it's trying to avoid peaking or something. These songs play back correctly when I take the case off and plug the headphones in directly. These are simple 3.5mm stereo headphones (Koss KSC 75) with 60 ohms of impedance.

Any thoughts? I'm assuming that the DAC auto detection is getting confused here. Is there a way to override it? Has anyone else successfully used a headphone jack extender with the hifi-DAC on this phone?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] eric.clay42:
I think I found the problem. The headphone jack extender was miswired and had the right audio channel connected to the ground ring. How this passed QA I have no idea, and this was purchased directly from Amazon, not through a sketchy third party.

Although my recent experience with amazon has been less than stellar. I bought a supposedly new G5 directly from them (not through a third party seller) that had a blacklisted IMEI and bootleg firmware. Thankfully it was an easy return, but I'm concerned that Amazon isn't checking the goods they sell first party. Makes finding legitimate stuff much harder.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] @rbiter:
Much like eBay or any other popular website that sells stuff that needs further scrutiny on the items and/or resellers, a microscope needs to be put on the details. For example I often buy compact discs used but not exclusively. I compare what my needs are for the disc, which resellers they're available from and weigh my decision on what to go with from there. I had to buy 3 flobots albums to get one full FLAC and MP3 rip and all these discs were new and different songs were consistently messed up. Not the resellers fault but whoever pressed the albums. But scrutinizing stuff like this and I haven't gone wrong on a used CD yet. Brands, resellers, reviews, review of resellers, watching for details like country of origin, when and where manufactured can often help avoid bad QA or other negative qualities. It is what it is. But I've gotten pretty good at it and mostly only ever have to return items that don't fit my needs or are defective.

Sent from my LGV20 using yo Mama's unlocked bootloader.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] eric.clay42:
That's exactly what I was trying to do, and why I purchased first party through Amazon instead of through one of their resellers. The headphone jack extender (and phone) had a lot of positive reviews. At least returning stuff to Amazon is easy, but it sure is disappointing to find them carrying such bad products that don't even work right.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Sideswype:
Just left Best Buy and spent an hour with the new Note 8. Couldn't find any way to change the background color when writing with the S Pen Note app. On my Note 5 (and on my old Note 2) you could change the background color in the Note taking app so you weren't always writing on a white screen. For instance you could choose from a yellow legal pad background or any other color background. I always take notes in meetings and conferences using the white color ink on a black background. The black background is less distracting for others in the room and something I have grown to rely on. Does anyone know if Samsung has done away with S Pen background options in the Note 8 or if we're stuck with our new S Pen writing on that blaring white screen?

The Note 8 Shown there Is using a different Writing App Samsung Notes (that runs on the s8) this one does not allow you to change background color. Thankfully this Can be Easily Soulved

The Note 5 and Note 7 Used to Run (S Note) App.

Download The S Note App (That Allows you to change background color) From here in the play store (in case the note 8 does not have it you can easily download it from here) :

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.snote&hl=en

You Can Run Both Side by side with No issue but obviously you would use the S Note.

I have Tested the Note 5 S Note, and downloaded it from the playstore my self on the S8 And it 100% works (obviously the s pen is replaced by my finger in the s8).

I concede defeat...

I'm a brand spanking new owner after my beloved LG G3 shat the bed last week. That phone endured a flashahloics abuse like a champ. It was easy beating up that phone. A sad day to see it finally go lights out.

Unlike the G3, this A2017U (updated to B19) has been giving me grief from day one. I spent the week before arrival reading and collecting tools for the eventual, and immediate, warranty voiding procedure. I felt more than confident in my new abilities to do so. Right from the get go, I was met with an obstacle I couldn't overcome: getting MiFlash to recognize my phone. I have tried everything after scouring the net. Nada. Zilch. No sign of life.

I tried various drivers to no avail. In EDL mode, Windows (8.1 64bit) sees the phone on com4 as a Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoaoder 9008. No matter what version of MiFlash I use, I always get the same error when clicking refresh: Length cannot be less than zero...blah blah blah.

I might be missing the obvious in my attempt to communicate with this phone. While the stock OS is far from horrible, and I could certainly get used to it, unlocking this bad boy is far more attractive. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have for me in an effort to troubleshoot.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Uuhh... Custom roms aren't all that good really. They just don't run as good as stock (although rather by a little, but it IS noticeable) and they have some bugs. MiFavor 5.0 is the way to go IMHO. But if you want to try and see for yourself anyways, do this:

Righr click on the QDLoader 9008 stuff, go to Properties, and check the datarate. Should be on 115200 or 128000. It seems that some people have this problem. If not, try with another PC.

But have you tried with axon7toolkit?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Cablespider:
I got it going. For some reason my PC and one laptop caused grief with MiFlash not recognizing the phone. I have another laptop with a fresh Win10 install on it and it worked just fine. The Axon7Toolkit took care of the rest. Awesome tool! I'm now unlocked, recovered and rooted.

I did forget to format data after the procedure and was greeted with the 'enter your password' thingamabob. Luckily for me, I did plenty of reading before I got the phone to realize what I needed to do. I'm up and running as of a few minutes ago. I'm pretty stoked to be running AEX on my A7. I loved it on my G3.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, brother. I appreciate it. And thanks to the community for providing a wealth of knowledge for new owners like me. Because of you all, I was able to free my phone of its bondage.

with this one, I get redirected to https://xdme.wireless.att.com/jsp/login/login.jsp

and it is asking for username and password, there is no username space in it, but these are the details in the Service menu:

Option 1:

Option 2:

It has two accounts for FOTA auth, then it provides a Client Name which is my phone's IMEI. I tried with that but no luck until now.

Update should be in any location in this server.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] balag59:
Hi,

I got a Verizon pixel XL recently and it's currently on Android 7.1.2 build no NJH47F. I have this weird issue wherein whenever I use the flash to take a picture and focus on an object that is not nearby, I get pinkish rings on my photos. It's mostly on one side so I'm thinking that this is a hardware issue but I'm not entirely sure. Is there any software solution to this or is this a hardware problem entirely. My bootloader is unlocked so I'm ready to flash anything required to rectify this. I'm also attaching a few pictures to give you guys an idea of what I'm talking about.

Hi, Ive looked around the forum and cannot find a solution to my problem. Ok, step by step here is what I did: I used the button 1.05 custom ROM, this was installed successfully. Then I used the definitive guide to unlocking the G3 wizard using the lokiwiz tool and this was successful as far as I know. I then upgraded to the t - mobile 3.08 ROM as this was recommended before upgrading to a WM6 ROM. This is where the problems began. I tried to flash Faria's WM6 crossbow rom and partway through the flash it hung and got stuck in bootloader mode. I read around the forums and tried to downgrade back to button 1.05, the tmobile 3.08 rom, and also the cingular 2.25 rom. The furthest I got was about 49% on the progress when my phone returns to the bootloader screen. My phone always seems to do one of two things: I either get a communication error "with my pc" which starts the recovery process(which never actually works) or I get error 274 which says that I am no longer connected to my pc (even though it still says "usb" on the screen of my pocket pc. I know that my battery will soon run out and I will have to buy a new one to resume trying to get my phone to work again. I ve also uninstalled active sync, re- down loaded and installed it, rebooted my computer (as was suggested) and this didnt work.
