[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iowamoe300:
Because Snapdragon is a locked bootloader. Without some kind of luck, leak or flaw there will be no root. At best, disable the update package with BK disabler so you won't take any updates in the hope that there is a flaw which allows us to root.

thanks. I didn't know that. My Snapdragon dual SIM on top of a micro SD slot N9100 was rooted but no good custom ROM [ unfortunately ]. always watching for a newer and better version of AMOLED, dual SIM AND microSD, stylus, removable battery for years now. skipped 5, 7 and may skip 8 as well. especially if there is no root and no TWRP. 4 is still running strong.

Hello everyone, I have an LG G5 running Android N. before when ever I try to shoot in lowlight it usually brighter and you can see the picture. But now it's very dark and you can't make use of it. I try manual mode and try to focus and it show me that ISO 400. I borrow my friend G5 and try to shoot in low light and it's brighter with iso 1600+. My question is that is my g5 got camera problem or camera app problem?? Anyone got the same problem on Android N? My friend phone is still running M.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] MrBiggzz:
Hello!

I have to say I'm really impressed with the S8+. This is the first Galaxy phone I've had since I owned the S2. After the S2 I never wanted to go back to a Galaxy ever again! But the 8 caught my eye! :cyclops:

Now, the Samsung apps aren't half bad. I'd like to work with them instead of getting their Google counter part(s) but unfortunately I love to customize my apps when I can. So the messaging or texting app, ok you can throw a background on it fine. But! There is no way to change the color of the text bubbles which is really stupid.

Yes I know I can install Samsung themes .. but I'd rather not. If Touchwiz had a few more bells and whistles it'd be a contender too! It's come along way since the S2.

So if anybody knows of a way to do this I'm all ears!

Thanks for the tips/help/information in advance!

i was looking for a tempered glass and now the official oneplus 3 tempered glass isnt available anymore ?

can anyone suggest anyother good ones ? without the rainbow effect etc ?

thank you
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Puddi_Puddin:
Well depends on how much you want to spend.

It's all glass, you drop it once and it breaks. Dust gets everywhere and after 2months the smudges become really annoying. I personally don't buy the full covered ones but something like the ones from Nillkin. I always buy them from AliExpress they are like €3.5 for a 2 pack. Keep in mind a screen repair is like €100. Spending €30 on a stupid piece of glass multiple times in a year might not even worth it.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Siguiriya:
I've bought this device just now and it was in german. I've upgraded the rom with this file: http://rapidshare.com/files/18878892/UK_11200_131_11210_ship.exe

I followed every step in the guide. It works now, i mean it's in English and everything, but it thinks it's an i-mate! The bootscreen has a huge i-mate logo on it and all the customizations are gone! When it boots up it tries to load some, but they are obviously not for this device because they do not work.

HELP!!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] jashsoft:

Its a customised version of Config that you hve loaded.

Just go to Start -> Programs -> uto Configuration and select a carrier that you use / select Default

It will install the new customised settings and your phone will reboot.

You're done!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] Siguiriya:
Uhm i can't really find anything like that in Programs. :-s could it be hiding somewhere? :)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] mariner_heart:
hard reset the device after backing up data.

"Auto Configuration" option will be there on first startup.

you can choose your carrier from there.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Saelee:
I just switched from ATT to Tmobile. Currently I have the OnePlus 5 but I am looking for a phone for my wife. I bought her the Samsung S8 as a surprised for her but she does not like the shape of it. It is too skiny compared to her Note 5. The Note 8 would be the perfect phone for her but I am not spending $1,000 on a phone for her to go on facebook and read the new. I am looking at the LG G6, the unlock US997 model from bhphoto. Right now the have it for $450 unlocked. Since witched from ATT, Tmobile has been great except my house which has very poor reception. I know the tmobile version of the G6 supports wifi calling but does the unlock US997 support it? I tried to research it but I didn't get an answer. The closest was, the Unlock version is the same with some restricted service.

So does anyone have the LG G6 US997 on the tmobile network and does it support wifi calling?

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] lemmyslender:
Wifi Texting?

I have the US997 unlocked model (not us cellular) on T-Mobile. Wifi Calling works no problem.

However, using the LG messages app, it won't let me text unless I have service. Anyone else run have that issue?

I installed Google Messages, which does let me text via Wifi. I'd rather stick with LG messages as it has a dark theme, which I like better.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Jonstambaugh:
I have the same phone using on T-Mobile but I don't have WiFi calling

I have the same phone from sprint got it unlocked to use on T-Mobile but don't have Wi-Fi calling or even good service or data also can you help?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] dwasifar:
I have the US997 sold by B&H. Wi-fi calling works on T-Mobile.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] lemmyslender:
I got mine from B&H. It may be because yours is "Sprint", the software (ROM) is slightly different. I don't have any idea what you would have to do to get wifi calling working. At this point you can't unlock the bootloader to flash a different rom, so your only option would be checking with T-Mobile to see if it is provisioned properly.

On a side note, I may have to try a different SMS app, as Google Messages way over compresses picture messages to they point they are garbage.

A couple of quick tests (using hangouts / google voice number), Signal will receive sms via wifi, but will not send. Textra will both receive and send via wifi. Picture quality for MMS is fine using either Signal or Textra.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Corgism:
First time I'm leading such a thing so mods, if there's a better way to lead people to the right thread, please let me know!

I've started a XZ1 & XZ1 Compact bounty thread for getting a reward pool up for anyone who can find a locked bootloader root method, TA backup & restore method or any other way to root and retain DRM features. Thought it would be great to have the bounty in a single thread for both the normal size XZ1 and XZ1 Compact since both models are very similar and obtaining root usually comes in pairs anyway since the Z1 and Z3 days.

Aside from the XZ1 and XZ1 Compact having great on-paper specs and being very appealing, I'm also fed up that the latest Xperia model where root and retain DRM is possible is the 1 year old XZ!! I'm sure some of you share the same feelings too!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Assimilator_X:
When i get mine i am up for testing.

XZ1Compact is a junk i returned it sorry.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] joesee:
Ok, so.. this is my first time being interested in a Sony device. Long time LG user here, and I'd be all over the V30 if T-Mobile didn't lock the bootloader down. Is the purpose for this bounty solely to retain DRM keys after the bootloader unlock? I see the XZ1 is part of the Sony Open source project where they let you unlock the bootloader. I only want to root this phone for v4a and adaway.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] mhaha:
Your question is answered in the thread the OP linked to, aka the bounty thread.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] joesee:
My apologies. I was too vague in my original question. I was hoping for specifics pertaining to this model, the XZ1 Compact. I'm well aware of the proprietary Sony software lost by removing DRM keys. I know after several reviews I've read that the XZ1 does lack a couple of features that it's bigger brother.

Another question. If Sony has this open source platform set up specifically for developers to create ROM's based on this XZ1 Compact, why would Sony hinder the performance and features by not allowing you to keep the DRM keys when unlocking the bootloader in a simple fashion?

Please don't respond if my questions upset you. I've read the posts and I'm posting questions here because I'm genuinely interested in this.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] mhaha:
Can you elaborate on what you want to know? You said you are already aware of feature loss, so what sort of specifics are you talking about?

As you said, the XZ1 Compact does not have any additional features that the bigger brother XZ1 doesn't, hence whatever DRM-reliant features are lost in the absence of DRM keys on the XZ1, the same goes for the XZ1 Compact.

Sony has never really published a list of features that will be broken, they're somewhat (purposefully) vague on this part.

The bounty thread mentions some of the most prominent features that are impacted, I urge you to take a look. As I had mentioned in my previous reply, it also answers your original question regarding the scope and goal of the bounty.

That is a question only Sony knows the answer to.

However, from a purely speculative viewpoint, it seems they think that binding some of their proprietary features to DRM keys is a way of protecting their IP.

Your phone won't actually be rendered useless after losing your DRM keys per se, you just lose the ability to utilize some of their more "advanced" toys like low light noise reduction algorithms and X-Reality, which are definitely nice to have but not "essential" features.

For AOSP ROMs, for example, Sony still provides bare bone driver support for the display and camera - perfectly functional, just not exceptional.

They opened up their phones to developers in the name of mutual benefit, but of course we know that it's more for their own sake than ours.

As for the lack of DRM-bound features in an unlocked open world, I suppose it's just their way of saying those assets are off limits, and to discourage average consumers from messing with their phones and driving up the cost and complexity of support.

Then again, just think for a minute. This is Sony we're talking about. Sony history is practically made up of anti-consumer-friendly practices with locked down, proprietary everything.

Just be grateful they're even doing this open devices thing, citizen scum dear users, and pray they don't hinder it any further.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] joesee:
Yeah, I completely agree. I only blame Apple for this. They've always been supreme dictator over iOS and I think larger companies like Samsung with their locked bootloaders on carrier phones and Verizon - which has no reason to lock theirs down are following suit because they can.

Ahh well, I appreciate your response. I just read an article the other day - the top three phones that are Dev friendly are the OnePlus 5T, Google Pixel and Huawei Mate 9. I'd go that route, but they are all larger phones. Guess I'm just hoping for something that doesn't exist (still!)
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Dany XP:
I had exactly your doubts but...well its not KitKat time anymore, Android Oreo is pretty much a complete OS to me...and yeah not having adblock sucks but at least I can still use AdGuard...I'm not a teenager anymore and so I wouldn't have time to mess with my phone anyway, at least not like with my previous Nexus 5...I bought xz1 Compact and have no regrets, seriously....at this point, if not for adblock, I don't have any other reason to want to root my phone...I guess I'm getting old lol
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] joesee:
So.. I just turned 40 this year. I've been playing around with Android phones now since the HTC Eris back in 2009 (yikes!!). I travel a lot for work and carry two pair of headphones with me. One pair of IEM's and one pair of large wireless cans. The IEM's are mostly used out of convenience and sound quality.. cans when I don't want something stuck in my ear. Anyway, the point to my rambling, is back in the Samsung days, I was introduced to something called "Voodoo Sound". It was created by a dev on XDA to manipulate the hardware settings (particularly the hardware gain) for users audio. It was amazing. The point of it was to boost the volume so you could CUT frequencies on an EQ and still keep the NORMAL volume of the phone. I see so many people on here complaining to other users about why they want to boost the volume, when that's not what they are doing at all. I fell in love and held on to old phones to keep from giving that feature up. Then, it slowly vanished and Viper4Android was released by a bunch of Chinese devs. I eventually switched over. I can't live without v4a. It makes up for the shortcomings in my IEM's.

So the problem is, with all these locked bootloader phones, I can't put v4a on the phone. I usually just keep using the older phone anyway until I can't stand the sluggish performance anymore and then start hunting for a new phone. The monkey wrench this go around is that work makes me carry an iphone as well as my personal.. so I'm trying to find an all around good phone that's compact. I got real excited about this XZ1 Compact until I saw some users complaining about battery life. I am extremely hard phone a phone battery. The 3300mah battery in the ginormous V20 I have now will last me about 6 hours while traveling on the plane, through airports, etc.

My dream phone would be a utilitarian design, waterproof, good battery, good camera, small, and rootable so I can put v4a (and prob adaway). It's crazy to me how Sony is the only manufacturer that dabbles with small phones now. Sammy tried it with the S5 mini, etc years ago, not nothing since.

Having since reading this thread is just another roadblock keeping me from going out to my local Best Buy today and just buying this phone and being done with it. I'd be worried about losing these DRM keys that effect camera performance. I love taking photos while traveling of the things I see and sharing them with family.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] mhaha:
It really is a douche move by Sony to render the camera completely useless after unlocking the bootloader.

Before the X-series line, at least with my own experience with the Z-series, UB affects the camera by disabling low-light noise reduction, but doesn't cause it to only take green pictures, it was still functional.

Well, the potentially good news is that a dev on XDA has created a DRM patch for the XZ Premium, which has similar platform configurations to the XZ1 and XZ1 Compact, and the dev mentioned in the bounty thread that he's working on bringing compatibility to the XZ1 family.

If you'd like, you can support him and make a donation pledge to incentivize him and/or other devs to find a solution.

Alternatively, the very same dev who created a DRM patch for the XZP also found some third party camera apps that works, presumably before he developed the fix.

See here: https://xdaforums.com/xz-premium/how-to/tip-camera-fix-unlocked-rooted-sony-t3647333

Or, you can just flash a AOSP build.

Or, as you are contemplating, just skip Xperias altogether. It's a world of compromises, unfortunately.

Can you boot to recovery mode? becoz, for me adb does not recognized the phone if in other mode.

my suggestion

1.Boot to recovery(press UP-Vol +Power)

2.Use ADB to flash TWRP (official one)

3. Wipe the whole phone (It won't boot becoz no OS anymore)

4.Use ADB push to transfer flashable ROM file like

adb push XXX.zip /sdcard/

5. Disconnect cable from PC

6.Flash the fresh ROM.
