[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] AncientDeveloper:
Yes, in fact, the public aboot.c requires OEM implementation in order for it to work as some functions are merely defined as interfaces where OEM has to implement the actual code.

Perhaps I should've been more clear on "assuming the logic is not modified". What I meant was, if the OEM did not change the specific position of the unlock byte, this is where it'd be. Of course, there's no way to verify this without (1) obtaining the OEM aboot.c or (2) experimenting it on a device. One of the OnePlus for example, stores it at position 0x000FFE10.

This particular aboot.c is listed under quic/la from codeaurora under a late enough branch, where marlin is under.

Hope this clears things up a bit.

If you need some one to test this theory out for ya, I've got a VZW Pixel xl. I've also got a Nexus 6p I can fall back on if we "F UP" my Pixel. Plus I've brought back a lot of phones from brick. Even the Bootloader locked LG Flex. And those Flex owners thought it couldn't be done.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] AncientDeveloper:
That's very brave of you. I've been exploring the possibility of using EDL (QDLoader 9008) mode to overwrite the whole eMMC with an already-unlocked image. Pixel is in an unique position to try this as all US versions share the same hardware (except marlin vs sailfish), so there shouldn't be a reason why they can't run the same image.

To my dismay I found this article today and noticed that the G4 plus is most definitely not on the list for devices to be updated to Oreo. The fact that I am a Moto G4 plus owner myself I was upset at first. But then I remembered that this phone has some of the greatest development and Developers working on Oreo ROMs already. So does it even matter?:confused:

Hi All,

New here, but essentially I want to get my VPN running on my tablet. It is brand new and came with 5.4.0.1. Everytime I try to activate the VPN it doesn't let me tap on the OK button to start the VPN connection.

From what I have found online, this can happen if there is an overlay app running that blocks the security popup. But I am not running anything. I wanted to see if it worked for anyone else. Or if someone might have an idea if there is some sort of overlay running on the Fire and if there was a way to disable it for now.

The VPN apps I have tried are OpenVPN and Private Internet Access VPN.

Thanks in advance!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] madsquabbles:
I used nord and had no problems until I opened to many tabs in chrome. The lack of memory force closed the VPN.

When the VPN is active,does the tablet display a "key" symbol on the top of the screen? Mine does not.

Doesnt show a key like on some other devices, but the notification shows nord connected and the activity.

After a lot of reading and viewing of YouTube videos, I think I'm narrowing my rugged case choice down to either the Samsung Rugged Case with Kickstand or the good ol' Otterbox Commuter (the UAG Monarch is still also in contention, but I'm in a business environment most of the time and I'm a bit concerned about the looks of the Monarch).

Does anyone who has thoughts or experience with one or both have any feedback that might help sway a person in one direction or the other? I like the kickstand option of the Samsung, but its protectiveness obviously hasn't been tested as much as Otterbox's, and the lip seems lower too.

Would really appreciate any input or advice.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jason504:
I went to Best Buy and tried out the Samsung case and I liked it. Its rugged and slim and feels good. I already bought another case that's why I did not get it. But I am thinking about getting it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] goldstar133:
I like the Samsung Rugged case, but this case is not wireless charging friendly. It works, but the phone and the case get very hot. Some have reported that after 30 min the phone stops charging.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] KBeckett:
I take it that you are both satisfied with the level of protection provided by the case? Think it's good enough to guard the screen against drops? Unfortunately, I cannot personally try out the case prior to purchase, so I'm very grateful for feedback on it.

No worries about wireless charging, as I don't plan to use the feature (don't want the battery to degrade due to the generated heat). But I appreciate the info just same.

I have the samsung official rugged and simply love it. Not too bulky but obviously excellent protection. Feels good in the hand, rather elegant for a rugged case,... Not using wireless so I don't care either.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] teegunn:
Finally figured out why saying "OK Google" wasn't launching Google assistant on Note8

This has been extremely frustrating, but I figured it out. On ALL my other phones (N4, N7 S7E, S8+) saying "Ok Google" opened up google assistant as it should. But not on the Note 8. I had it working for a little while yesterday, but did not know HOW I got it working. Today it stopped working again. I have spent a couple hours today fiddling with every setting, disabling/re-enabling Bixby with BK, etc, etc to get "Ok Google" to work. Well, I figured out why it wasn't working. On the Note 8, if you have your phone on any of the battery saver modes (I had my S8+ and my N8 on the "mid" saver mode), OK Google does not work. Turn off battery saver mode and it works.

So for whatever reason, Samsung changed the battery saver mode on the N8 from what the S8+ had. I always had mid mode turned on with my S8+ - it gives you about an hour more battery life. But on the S8+ OK Google voice still opened up the assistant. Not on the Note 8. Just a tip for anyone else who couldn't figure out why they couldn't open up google assistant with voice command.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] imatts:
This is pretty standard, since battery saver restricts most background services. Thanks for the confirmation!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] teegunn:
It wasn't standard on the Note 7, S7E or S8+ - I have all of those and mid battery saver does not deactivate the "Ok Google" voice activation. Samsung must have changed that on the N8.

BTW, I am getting a software update downloading from VZ as I speak... maybe they will address this in the new update? I'm always nervous accepting pushed factory updates. It is installing now, so I will know soon!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeleFragger:
so n00b q for you then since your well above me (coming from a note 3)...

I didn't enable "OK Google" cuz I thought Bixby was to replace it.. so that isn't the case? so get ok google working again then....

off to google to read up on what Bixby is for then... LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Howler82:
Yes, the intent of Bixby is to replace the Google Assistant. But, many people (including myself) have found Bixby to be rather lacking in the assistant realm. It may get better with updates over time (depending on how much money Samsung want to throw at it) but for now, I prefer ok google.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] teegunn:
Samsung wants to force you to use Bixby instead of google assistant. I am not fond of Bixby and much prefer google assistant. Below are the steps to get rid of Bixby and make Google Assistant your default assistant app.

BK disabler app is what you need. DL it from the play store. Once you do that you can disable all bixby functions - just search for Bixby with BK Disabler and disable all of the bixby apps. Doing this will also disable the Bixby button from doing anything. Now you can set your google app to open up when you say "Ok google". Also, you can remap the Bixby button to open up the google assistant with BK disabler's advanced settings menu which is up in the top right corner of the BK disabler app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I use both though. I disabled wake up for Bixby voice but google assistant and Bixby work fine side by side. I just feel like from reading your post people might assume google assistant doesn't work like normal with Bixby still running.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
Bixby has some neat tricks up its sleeves, but Google is still the king of internet search. Bixby is better at controlling your phone hands free.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I dunno. Maybe I need to retrain it because I have to call it three times to get it rolling but while I'm watching tv it sets itself off repeatedly with the sensitivity down.

Also I have to speak slower to get it to recognize what the hell I am saying when I use it to voice text. I turn around and say something in a noisy room to google quickly and it catches every word and adjusts words based on the context of the entire sentence.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
If Samsung doesn't improve it like it just left S-Voice as a mess, I won't use it either. It can become something great if Sammy just supports it.

Bixby-Ok Google

Hello

I use both - I love that I can give multiple commands in one Quick Command, and Bixby will perform them without a hitch. But I also know that for websearch etc, I use OK Google. I think this is the best of both worlds.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParadingLunatic:
Some history with the phone. I've gone back and forth a few times with this phone. At one point the bootloader was unlocked, I was rooted, etc etc. This was quite a while ago. Since then I have flashed the factory rom, locked the bootloader and ran 100% pure stock until this morning and everything worked just fine. Android Pay worked, etc. Today I decided I'd do a factory reset and not bother restoring data. Prior to doing that, I decided to give Magisk a quick try just for the heck of it. I flashed the current Oreo factory image (With Sept security patches) left the bootloader unlocked, flashed TWRP, installed Magisk via TWRP. Didn't really give it much of a chance but either way, after a quick check safetynet failed. So I figured, whatever no big deal. I flashed the factory image again, then relocked the bootloader, and eventually rebooted and signed back into my account and didn't bother restoring any backup. Let all the stock apps install/update, checked Android Pay.....and it wouldn't allow me to add a card. I checked the Safetynet tests and it fails the CTS Profile match. I'm pretty much at a loss now as to what in the world the problem is. The phone is fresh off of a factory reset and the bootloader is locked. No magisk, no root, nothing.

Another REALLY strange thing is, during boot up, I have to unlock the phone, then it continues booting up and eventually finishes the boot up process, although I think I recall reading about this being some new security thing. Either way, don't think it relates to my issue.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParadingLunatic:
Well I unlocked the bootloader again, flash the August 7.1.2, relocked the bootloader, and after updating apps and Google Play Services, all is well again. Guess I'll just grab the OTA and go from there.

Did some more digging. Found it. Gonna see if it works.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevemw:
This is because when you set the screen lock you checked the box to ask for the lock code when the system boots up. It's a good security measure that insures that if the phone is lost or stolen, a reboot will not allow someone to bypass the screen lock.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParadingLunatic:
Yup I figured that out. I knew it was an added security feature but I couldn't recall where it was set. It seems that in Oreo, when you enroll in the fingerprint setup during the initial phone config, when it forces you to create a PIN it automatically sets that option without asking unlike how before, it used to ask.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevemw:
Didn't realize it was automatically set in Oreo. I went thru 7 and the preview, so this option was already set. I will be getting the Pixel 2 XL, so it's something for me to check on.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] DominikB:
I have a Japanese SCV33 (S7 Edge with the AU carrier) which i am trying to use with Docomo.

The hardware is identical, so you can just burn the stock Docomo ROM/radio etc onto it and it will use the Docomo bands and behave pretty much identical to the S7 Edge released by Docomo.

However after burning the Docomo ROM you cannot use the Felica tap payment system (different to NFC, it is a Japan-specific tech i believe). And i really need that to be working.

So the other option is to enable the Docomo bands on the AU ROM. I believe in Marshmallow (Android 6.0) you could use *#2263# to open the service mode that allowed you to select bands (you could select all bands!), but that option is not available in Nougat.

Would burning the docomo radio (CP in Odin) set the bands that are in use? or is that set somewhere else? Also, is there any other way of checkign the active bands? I tried burning the docomo radio, but since the main bands are the same, just getting signal is not enough... I need to see if it is using the minor bands too.
