[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] graywolfman:
Yep, Textra and changing the message type works for Verizon unlocked, too. Samsung suggested calling Verizon and seeing if they have MMS set up correctly for the phone on their end. I imagine it's a nightmare trying to get VZW Support to understand that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jcip17:
Samsung should open a god damn ticket with Verizon and they work on resolving this issue together. What kind of response is that from Samsung. I'm sorry that's unacceptable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] clubtech:
Did anyone find a workaround for this?

I use Pulse SMS as my client and gifs are not playing there as well on my unlocked Note 8 using Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jcip17:
Textra using legacy mms mode is a workaround.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xpack90:
Gifs seem to work I opened up Galaxy App clicked on 3 for settings and clicked on my apps. Then clicked on Update and there was an update for messages that allowed me to receive gif mms with the stock app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] graywolfman:
Yep

This worked for me, as well. The app was updated on the 26th, according to Galaxy Apps. Seems Samsung did need to change something on their end!
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] carnivalrejectq:
Every time I restore my stock rom after messing with other roms for a while, things get all messed up and even though root is successful as well as magisk, I can no longer mount system unless it's read only and I can no longer delete system apps in root browser etc. If I manually go back to stock via adb and re root I don't have these issues. It always happens after restoring a backup after being rooted and messing around for a while. Anybody know how to fix it? My Gmail never seems to work after a backup and I want to delete it and download again.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Hacker101:
I have the Google Pixel XL rooted running Android Oreo with boot-loader unlocked. I used the modded TWRP with SU config and Chainfire's SU with SU Hide by the way to root. I know about theming and a few rooted apps like Greenify to name one. I do not want a custom ROM flashed. I guess is there and thing like Xposed or Gravity box I would be able to use. What are some neat and cool / helpful things to do while rooted on oreo with pixel xl at this point? Anyone got any ides what I should do? !hanks. :cool::cool::cool:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] nadiros:
This belongs in Q&A for starters.

Right now for Oreo there is Substratum/Andromeda, and some flashable Aroma installer mods. A custom Kernel like ElementalX gives further customization performance wise as well as wake gestures, colour control, and brightness tweaks.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] HypostaticOnion:
Just to note, Andromeda is only needed for unrooted phones. If you have root, you can substratum without issue
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Zwitterion:
I can install Substratum in the Play Store on Stock Rooted Oreo and be okay?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] HypostaticOnion:
Yes doing it right now

Yes doing it right now
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Zwitterion:
Installed Substratum and applied a theme. Nothing changed.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] HypostaticOnion:
Did it prompt you for root? Have you rebooted? What theme was it?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Zwitterion:
Yes, yes,.and it was Destiny theme.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] roman.ramirez.12:
So far the only one that really works on the pixel XL is the Swift black , destiny doesn't work very well I haven't found any apps that work with Destiny all I use is Swift black and every so often there's one or two apps that won't work because of updates or or what not so I use Onyx too. Also what works with Swift black and helps,is if you only do 5 at a time and if still something doesn't come out right sometimes you have to reboot for it to take effect... Good luck
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Bryanx86:
Lone4subs, domination, Sprite, focus, are just a few themes that work for me on Oreo. They are all paid themes though. I would recommend lone4subs but you have to enroll in the beta version for it to work with Oreo.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Bryanx86:
Screenshot
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] :
I also reccomend swift black for substratum. great dark theme. updated all of the time.

mods and things that I use;

- system ui tuner; change # of quick tiles, animation speed, etc

- Apex Launcher (very customizable n lite)

- AfWall (firewall to block apps from internet access)

- disable service (disable things like advertising ID, analytics, etc in google play services, some apps, etc)

- custom nagivation bar (change navbar layout n look)

- with magisk I use a few modules; GMs doze, busybox, etc)

- graby spin ui (icon set)

- signal messenger (instead of messenger)

- anysoftkeyboard

- fx file manager

- adaway for adblocking

- ex kernel manager

- exNoShades-eas kernel (which adds a bunch of features, optimizations, security/hardening, etc... i'm the dev)...

i pretty much replace or modify everything on the stock rom that i don't like, or needs improvements.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] :
I agree with [MENTION=6157378]roman.ramirez.12[/MENTION] ~ If you like dark themes, Swift Black is great. Constant updates, works well.

Some mods, appss and stuff that I can't do without;

- Apex Lanucher (Lite and customization).

- FX File Manager

- OS Monitor

- AFwall (Firewall for blocking apps internet access)

- Custom Navigation Bar (change navbar layout, functionality and style)

- System UI Tuner (tweak Quick settings tile #, change animation speeds to 0.75)

- AdAway (Block all advertising. Available in Fdroid app store)

- Magisk + a few modules (Pass Safetynet, Magisk hide. Modules: GMZ Doze, etc)

- EX Kernel Manager (for tuning custom kernel settings)

- exNoShadez-eas Kernel (My kernel / I'm the dev. Passes SafetyNet check. Most of the extra features other kernels have + additional

hardening/security features and some other features - too much/specific to get into here).

Using all of the above, I get a decent amount of customization to the Stock rom, plus all of the goodies one might want out of a kernel (and then some. lol)... I use most of these apps on any device (have for years, in some cases) and the kernel I develop exclusively for the Pixel / Pixel XL.

I'm looking for a nice case for a Note 4 but also has to come with stylus and be able to store it somewhere in the case. I'm looking to upgrade from a galaxy note.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] seoulbrova:
Received this today. It is the official OEM protective case made by Samsung. I used the same on the S8 Plus and it was my favorite for keeping the slim profile on the phone.

The best part of the case is the tackiness of the back. It's plastic but it sticks to your fingers which helps with slipping

In the video, you can see how the phone is practically vertical but it stays stuck to my fingers.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Janis:
Can anyone shed any light on why my buttons, just the ones on the unit itself, aren't producing their lovely orange glow anymore? The d-pad light still works, but the OK, Win & browser buttons are dark.

The only thing I could think of was that I installed SBSH, like everything because I'm fed up with Spb, so I uninstalled w/ several reboots. Still no go.

Maybe it's better that way. Less battery drain. It's not like I can't find them, but they were cute. My 3-year-old daughter loves the orange.

UPDATE:

I never did figure out what it was. Between booting up with PhoneAlarm, UltimateLaunch, MccMoblieFinder, LivePVR (which I'm not sure works) something crashed, so I hard reset.

I did figure out after my reset that the backlight doesn't actually go all the way off; when the buttons are off the screen is as dim as it's going to get (and now with rk-backlight, I am finally free of SPB - they lost thier robustitude with newer OSs and everyone else seems to have caught up with thier graphics, but with a smaller footprint.)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Confucious:
Does your backlight work? i always thought it was just the backlight shining through the buttons.

Well, no, actually I've never really thought about it.

Mine are off until the backlight comes on then they are on.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Digital.Diablo:
Umm, the ameo keyboard doesn't have a backlight???
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Janis:
Backlight off

there's rk-backlight.exe

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=328114&highlight=backlight

check the Settings/system/backlight

The backlight on a working x7500/1 doesn't actually go all the way off, the screen does (standby), and the buttons do when it's in it's more-or-less "off" state (the buttons are off, and the system calls the state "off" but it's just really low.)

If you can see the screen, but there really is NO backlight, my suggestions in this order:

a soft reset

install a backlight contolling software like rk-backlight & set it

a hard reset

a flash of a new rom

send it in to ppctechs.com for repair
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] theodoresturgeon:
Be patient, please, and let me explain.

My new device never worked fine. Never was able to use wifi or bluetooth, so i made everything I could imagine or you, people, helped me. Nothing worked.

So i asked help the seller and told me a lot of foolish advices, just to avoid the issue. He did not response by the issue. So I was ... you know... f(censored).

Then i saw a thread. Some Motorola G had same issue, and fixed by copying a file at persist folder. You had to be root to find it. So i tried to root. Nothing happened. Nor by abd or anything else. Finally I installed Cuoco... but device did not root!

I am begging to suspect a fake. If this would be a fake, root and firmware (to wifi and BT) could not work fine, right?

Is it possible? Can they lock root? If not, why can not root? Conspiracy?

Thanks.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meeermen:
Hello,

is it possible that Google Play Services crash the Phone Setting application.

After I flash open_gapps-arm64-6.0 -pico-20170521 to my Android phone (Android 6.0.1), I was not able to running Phone Settings. I managed to run Google Store. But Google Play Services stop working and resume working.

I touch Setting, it crashes with error message saying "Unfortunately Settings stop working."

Because Setting is not working, I am not able to clean cache of Google Play Services as most of what the trouble shooting suggests.

Did anyone experience the same thing as I did? Is there a fix?

thanks

Stopped working with android 7.0. Try the sim card trick. Eject the sim, activate your hot spot. Put the SIM card back in.

You can also try a network refresher. Same idea. Hit refresh, kills your signal. Turn on hotspot.

If your note 8 is the unlocked version. Then yes the native hotspot will work. No need for fox fi. I have tested it on att and it works just fine. People on Verizon has said the same.

question

I'm thinking of buying an unlocked note 8 from Samsung's website. I have Sprint.

My question is... will I be able to use this phone as a hotspot (or USB tethered) for a laptop and not be charged a tethering or hotspot fee from Sprint?

I currently have the note 4 and am using it with foxfi but must be tethered by USB.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
Yes...I have unlocked version on Sprint and tried shortcut master lite to edit the APN by adding "DUN" and tried the adb method to bypass Sprint...both methods worked great and did not register on my bill...the difference is that the shortcut master method does not require toggling data on and off to get it working...it just works...both methods are better than foxfi...look in guides for apn edit enable hotspot
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] alf2ooo:
Since my post I have opted for the Sprint version of the Note 8 instead of the unlocked from Samsung. I used your guide to go in and add DUN but am unclear about what to add in the LTE APN setting.

I got the hotspot to turn on and can connect a computer to it however it says I have no internet access. I can connect to the hotspot just fine, just know internet.

When I go to mobile hotspot and tethering I have mobile hotspot and Bluetooth tethering available, but USB tethering is greyed out. I tried bluetooth tethering but quite honestly am lost. I can't figure out how to use it. My old Note 4 I used USB tethering and FoxFi get internet on my computer. Is there a way to get USB tethering to work?

Preferably I'd like to have the hotspot working.... but I'm curious about the other 2 also and if they were all three working then I would have options if I needed them.

I'm new to all this forgive me. As I said before I used FoxFi so an app got things going for me... This is the first time I've ever messed internally with a phone. Is there something I missed?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
Once you are connected to the hotspot toggle the data off and back on to see if the internet is shared then. That may be your issue. Never tried to get usb tether because WiFi tether works on Sprint out of the gate for both methods
