[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] sansnil:
Wow, Essential's support and customer service are not ready for primetime. I reserved a couple of Essential phones along with two cameras for $50. I received the black phone I ordered but no camera. I figured it wasn't available and yet and would probably ship separately. I followed up with Essential this week and after a bunch of back and forth they're refusing to honor the $50 camera deal even though I reserved one. I'm really surprised and while annoyed about the camera I'm more alarmed about what sort of company would operate this way and I can imagine how their future conduct and support will be going forward. I asked them to help me return the phone in light of this and I haven't heard back. What the heck?

The phone seems cool but the company not so much. I would discourage everyone from buying any Essential products at this point as they clearly break their word and can't be trusted.

Yes I got mine yesterday and used it to video my house for insurance purposes (pray IRMA keeps going west please).

What would you like to know about it?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] dca1970:
got mine yesterday also
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tech_head:
Got mine yesterday.

OP, did you get a pre-order notification for the camera?

I got a separate pre-order notification for the camera.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] PhaseBurn:
Got my yesterday morning. Works great. Just checked my bank statement, too, and it was $50 as their emails and confirmation confirmed.

When you reserved your phone, did you opt for the cameras at that time, too? If so, your email reservation (mine was dated June 12th) should list the 360 Camera as an "Added Extras" option... If it does NOT, you didn't participate in the promotion, which has since ended, and while it's disappointing that you missed out on it, their customer service team is doing their job. If, however, your email confirmation from when you reserved the phone states you have a phone AND a 360 Camera as an added extra, then yes, they should be honouring that, and you should point out clearly that you have that confirmation in writing.

I don't know what your email says, and I mean no disrespect. I'm simply pointing out that this very well could be a mistake on their end which they really should correct, but it also could be human error on your part, as well, which is unfortunate, but not their fault.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] IM0001:
Yep. Got it and love it. Turns out Windows 10 Photo and Video player make watching the 360 video super easy, as does Virtual Desktop for VR use.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] bricky23:
Got mine.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] sansnil:
Thanks for the comments all, and I'm glad Essential honored the $50 price for at least some of you. For those curious, I did indeed reserve 2 cameras at the time I placed my 2 pre-orders for the phones (for $50 how could you go wrong?) so I hold Essential responsible and I would caution others from doing business with Essential. They still have not told me how to return the device to them so I will have to file a chargeback with my bank and proceed from there. I also find it disappointing they have no plans to make the software images available for download like Google does. Hopefully the phones work well for those of you who are going to keep them over time because if you have any issues I suspect you're on your own.

[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] yochananmarqos:
This is awesome, thank you! Would you mind sharing your Tasker project? I'd like to be able to toggle night mode with Tasker.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] zurik:
I am trying to use but it not functional. Something I miss?

Edit: Fixed by giving Massages storage permissions.

I tested a little bit the app and then the toggle stopped working
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] moddroid:
Hi, can you please explain me what you tested in order to make toggle useless? i have tested ths for a week and the toggle never stopped working, your signature tell that you are unrooted, is right? you have the latest apk attached on the post? if yes can you please attach the kcal file under Night folder in your storage, thanks :)
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] zurik:
I have the latest 2.0. I gived permissions to mass storage and gived root permissions with Magisk Root. I played with colours to give the correct colour (this yellowish tint that have also pixel devices ) and after that toggle stopped working and when I try to change, I press the ✅ and I try to enable with toggle and nothing happens
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] moddroid:
I really don't understand this request, why use tasker when this app as no background processes and a simple QS tile? anyway, yes i can share but remember : this app don't enable night mode, only change display rgb value , the end user set this value, more you lower the blue and the green value more reddish your display is , so don't expect a simple toggle for night mode under some settings. i provide a link as soon as possible ;)
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] moddroid:
hmm, strange, please open the kcal file under Night folder in your storage and write here the value inside the file, or try to press the refresh button in the right side of header before close app

Anyway i didn't tried with magisk so i don't know if can depend on this.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] zurik:
0 58 77
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] yochananmarqos:
Automation, that's why. Also I want to peek under the hood. ;)

There's a few issues with the app. It app force-closes on startup. Look of Disapproval does the same thing and so did Custom Quick Settings until the dev updated it. I'll try and grab a logcat. It's something to do with Android Oreo, but I'm not sure what.

The app only opened right away on first run, now I have to tap it, wait until MagiskSU grants su permissions a couple times, then tap the Quick Setting tile and then it will open. It does not apply unless I tap the icon in the upper right that looks like a refresh icon or tap the tile again so it's "off", then tap it again to turn it "on".
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] moddroid:
The values are right , the app have stopped to work after some time or not worked at all? Have you the stock kernel? i think it's something related to magisk, but i don't have soo much time for checking it right now
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] moddroid:
New Update try to solve some problems, waiting feedback ?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] zurik:
Stopped working. 2-3 times I changed values to give the right colour and stopped working.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] moddroid:
Sorry my fault, wrong fix, updating right one. Uninstall v2.1 and delete Night folder
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] zurik:
I reverted back to stock kernel so I can't test it now. Due to some tweaks to the kernel.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] noolis:
I cant go to 0 to use 0-58-77

Until 30 goes

Anyone use other setting?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] moddroid:
There's a security block to 30.

Why? Because if you accidentally put everything to 0 your screen become totally black, and the only way to restore is via adb or recovery, so i suggest never use value under 30, for a good results i use: Red-255 Green-160 blue-100. ?

can start at a specific time ? maybe can i activate at 21 and descactivate for 8 ?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] moddroid:
Not for now, schedule eat memory and require a service to run in background, i can try to expose an intent for enabling via tasker but i'm not so expert with coding
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] jugoslavpetrovic:
Thanks for the app.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] gerstlauer:
Great app, thanks alot!
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] gerstlauer:

This app is great for its simplicity and the fact it has a quick settings tile.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] yochananmarqos:
I forgot to come back here to tell you 4.0 works well.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Vipauer:
Hi,

Thanks for the fantastic work on this app.

Its works on Android 8.1 DP2?

This app it's like the "Night Mode" that've the Pixel's?

Thanks :)
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] zurik:
It should work on DP2, if you have installed custom kernel on it with Kcal support. If not, it should not work.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Vipauer:
With Android 8.1 Final and ElementalX 6.0 it works perfectly.

What values do I've to put in the Red, Green and Blue fields?

Everyone is at zero.

Thanks :good:

[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jbhtexas:
Hello!

I'm running a stock Verizon HTC 10 with the latest OTA updates. This phone seems to have a problem with push notifications after it has been "sleeping" or idle for awhile. I don't know exactly what that time period is, but it seems to be about 30 minutes. Once the screen goes black and the phone has been idle in this state for this time period, the phone stops getting (or checking for-however that works) push notifications. There is no blinking LED or sound notification that mail has come for gmail or Outlook. The phone will still answer calls and notify upon receipt of text messages. Usually within a few seconds of turning the screen on from the idle state, the gmail and Outlook notifications come. When the phone screen is on, or within a few minutes of turning the screen off, the push notifications will still come, but then stop.

I googled about this, and there seems to be quite a bit of discussion about it. I have tried the suggested remedies, but they don't work (unsync/sync gmail, clear data/cache for the apps, turn battery optimization off, delete/re-add accounts, along with some others). For work, I have a Samsung Galaxy S7, and it doesn't have this problem. Furthermore, my wife also has an HTC 10, and her phone doesn't seem to have the problem either (although I have not tested it thoroughly).

I've been through various settings, checked the do not disturb settings, but I can't seem to figure this out. I am probably missing some setting. It seems that the phone is going into some deep sleep mode after a period of time and disabling these apps, but keeping others, like the phone and SMS functions, alive.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Are you using power saver mode? What about the boost+ app?

Also a lot of people started having similar issues after the first update to Nougat for U.S Unlocked. Later updates fixed the issue, but it sometimes still happening with Gmail for me.

I got LineageOS to work!

It was a long grind of reading various posts on here and looking up other info on google, but I finally got my phone to run LineageOS.

The three things that I think are key are:

Making sure your phone is starting off with kitkat. I wasn't able to root my phone with lollipop. Stumproot, towelroot, and ioroot all didn't work. Once I downgraded to kitkat, I rooted successfully with ioroot.

After getting TWRP, updating it to 3.1.0. I had to first get an older version and then flash 3.1.0

Change the bootloader to kitkat if it isn't on it already. I used Bootloader Changer.

I can't edit, remove or format my new SD card.

after I bought a new SD card and moved my backup files from a PC, I connected it to my Sony Xperia Z5 (Android 7 (not rooted)

then a notification came asking to select if I want to set my new SD as internal or external storage and I ignored it.

and from that time it is not allowing me to do anything to it except reading it files (it doesn't even show photos in photos app (just show files in file manager)

anyway I tried formatting it through PC and it keep saying "device is write protected"

tried regedit and diskpart methods and nothing worked.

tried formatting it through other android device and still unable to format it.

any solution?

Someone Local to me is selling a note 8. It's supposed to be unlocked. Will it work on Sprint or no?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Before I'd buy,I'd visit T-Mobile with the seller & phone in-hand,to ensure the phone is free & clear of any financial obligations.

Otherwise,you risk the possibility of it being blacklisted if any remaining balances are unpaid.

Not sure about compatibility,but,if the T-Mobile S8+ is any indication,it's only compatible with LTE,probably won't get voice/calls:

https://willmyphonework.net/

Regardless,with it being a new phone,you're in uncharted territory,no one can know for sure at this point,less a visit to Sprint & the mentioned visit to T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] dwoverlo:
Unfortunately, probably not. Sprint is very strict with the phones it allows under it's BYOD program, it'll only allow activation of Sprint and Unlocked models. It knows when phones are carrier versions as Samsung provides Sprint with the IMEIs of the Sprint and Unlocked models.

Sprint is the only major carrier that still uses a database whitelist for phones that can be activated on their network. Bit of a **** policy, but there's not much you can do about it.

Source: Just tried the same thing with my T-Mobile S8+. Even when I flashed the unlocked firmware on it(something you'd need to do anyway to enable the CDMA radio on the Note8, T-Mobile firmware has it disabled), still wouldn't work. Found out it was because of Sprint's stupid policy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] gc86:
Just wanted to chime in on this in the hopes that no one wastes their time and money trying to activate AT&T/T-Mobile branded Note 8's with Sprint.

Bought a Sprint BYOD SIM

Gave Sprint technicians device information in an attempt to add it to their inventory (HEC/DEX)

They kept getting random incompatibility errors, kind of silly given all US Note 8's have identical hardware.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jhujhu:
So I just bought an LG V20 US996 (not US Cellular version). I have TWRP installed, and then I installed LineageOS nightly 20170825 and found that the battery meter is stuck at 50% regardless of charge, but more importantly, the touch screen no longer works. Same thing with nightly 20170901. However, after downloading all the nightlies and trying them, I found that the July ones work just fine (ie 20170728, 20170714, and 20170707). Someone on reddit suggested it might be an issue of not having the latest firmware. I did find here at lg-firmwares.com/lg-us996-firmwares that lists the US996 kdz files. It looks like the US Cellular version is more updated than the regular USA version. Is it safe to flash a US Cellular version onto a not US Celllular version even though they're both US996 ?
