[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] CollinFX45:
Personally I would do it. The Pixel XL will be replaced in a couple weeks and therefore will be harder to sell if you want to upgrade. Also, I have asked for an RMA and then changed my mind twice on this darn Essential phone because every time I feel this strange connection with it. I want to root for Essential. This sounds silly, of course. I have the S8, have had the G6 and all the other flagships before, but this phone is to me the Nexus device of 2017. I had the Pixel and Pixel XL and while I loved the software and camera, once you hold the Essential phone then the Pixels will have laughably huge bezels and will feel five years old in your hand.

So, the camera. I have taken some awesome outdoor shots and I have also taken some that look like they were from a 2014 Moto X. There is no consistency with this camera. I want to believe in it and I have seen what it is capable of, but when I reach for my S8 the experience blows the Essential away. The camera app freezes on the Essential and is extremely slow. If anyone disagrees, then I completely respect that but I will ask if you have compared it to the best of 2017 devices? That said, the best compromise I have found is this: install the Google Pixel camera and set the power button quick launch to launch that camera. Then leave the default camera app icon in the normal place. So now, I can quickly launch the fool-proof Google camera when I need to snap a quick image, but I can take my time with the Essential camera when I have that time to give. I have a 7 month old son and trust me, he ain't waitin' for that damn Essential camera to load!

TL;DR - I would make the trade.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] j3oomerang:
Man, I'm thinking about returning my Pixel 2 XL for an Essential. Wanted the Essential but then all the bad reviews of the camera and what not turned me away. It is literally half the cost of the P2XL with the price drop. It's nice to have one of, if not the best camera, but I feel silly paying $1000 for this phone when I can get a brand new phone with similar specs for half the cost. Not to mention the disappointing screen issues.

I like to run custom stable ROMs which is why I'm looking at these two phones and the P2XL will certainly have more development. I'm not even sure if the Essential has sold enough to have any decent development. I would hate to be stuck with a phone that ends up getting no development. I guess that's what makes the Pixel worth a grand. I never buy brand new phones and always look for deals on Craigslist but this time I thought I'd pull the trigger on something brand new.....the experience was meh.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] b316kane:
I am in a similar boat as you (except I have a pixel). If this phone get done development I might pull the trigger. Partly because at least for me, the whole rom game on the pixel is just a nightmare thanks to the two boot slots. I REALLY miss the simplicity of the nexus. But I get it that having the two slots makes things great for stock users but I have soft bricked this phone so many times. If this phone can be simple like the nexus days (once the images come out) I am really tempted. Also depending on when oreo gets dropped
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] TheDethEgineer:
My previous phone was a LeEco Le Pro 3, bought it last year during a black friday sale, it was released almost 2 months before that sale. No roms or any development at that time, but a couple months later a bunch of great roms were available. I think is just a matter of time, be patience, also, we have stock android, why the hurry to flash a new rom?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] nrage23:
The PH-1 has two boot slots just like the Pixel.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] b316kane:
I don't remember hearing that. Are they doing the automatic updates too? I figured it was unique to pixels
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] lightfire:
I am sending back a Pixel 2 XL and getting the Essential
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] j3oomerang:
30 day return policy from Amazon right? I'm just gonna get an Essential use them both for a week and make a decision
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] appleguy2:
I have an Essential. It is a solid phone and performs well. However (and this is going to sound strange), it is an unbelievably slippery phone. I took their word that it was made of space-age materials and was drop-resistant, and I didn't get a case. It slipped out of my pocket the second day I owned it while I was sitting down. Screen cracked and it is $200 to replace.

There are really no quality cases available, so I would wait to see if there is going to be any aftermarket support before buying an Essential.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] wolfhelm:
Just be sure the one you are trading for is not locked to Sprint, unless you're on Sprint of course.

There are a number of decent cases available. I'm using the Incipio NGP Pure:

https://www.amazon.com/Essential-Incipio-Shockproof-Polymer-Shock-Absorbing/dp/B076H16TWP

A lot of people like the Tudia cases, especially the new one that just came out with the glass back.

The complaints about the Incipio is that it doesn't work with glass screen protectors... Well 99% of the glass screen protectors available for this phone don't fit right anyways... What I ended up getting was the Incipio Plex Plus Flex... which they claim is flexible glass (I think it's just plastic) but either way, it fits with their case and is invisible on the phone. I managed to snag it on a Black Friday sale because it's kinda expensive for a screen protector, but either way, my phone is now fully protected and looks excellent. I can post pictures if you're interested.

My Exynos S8+ SM-G955F doesn't offer this option for selection, only 2.4 GHz.

I have the samsung s8 (sm-g950F) exynos version and I can't choose in avanced option, there is only 2.4 Ghz.

samsung forgot to add this option on his own chipset/firmware? or it is a hardware limit maybe
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Interceptor777:
Samsung didn't add it to some regions firmware.

I have a 955FD with a T-Mobile USA CSC (The T-Mobile SM-G955U has it) and I have it, I didn't have it on stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] themissionimpossible:
Interesting, so maybe some CSC firmware for Exynos might have this option...

Honestly I can't understand this regional Samsung policy, there are no restrictions in using the 5 GHz wireless band....

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] anewday:
I don't have it either, using a Verizon sim on the unlocked model.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Zulfigar:
I have it on a TMobile Snapdragon variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] anewday:
Does it show an option for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz or an option to only use 5Ghz?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Skander1998:
There is in some regions, in the Gulf it is technically not allowed on certain channels if it is outdoors, and a hotspot is likely to be outdoors.

No one actually cares, there is zero enforcement and Samsung is just satisfying the law by simply stripping the option off.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] themissionimpossible:
Wifi channels or wireless bands?

Anyway, just since there would be some restrictions in a limited part of the world, IMHO it's a regrettable decision from Samsung to indiscriminately limit all the users in the remaining part of the world....:(
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Zulfigar:
An option to use only 5Ghz. Sorry if that was what this was about then.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dalanik:
I only see 2.4....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] anewday:
Does it look like this screenshot? Try turning on wifi-sharing to see if it shows up in advanced options.

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a GRETEL GT6000 for it's awesome battery,

sadely this phone is hard to root.

I try many & many solutions but no one root the phone and now my phone is in infinite boot with message "Orange state you're device has been unlocked and can't be trusted Your device will boot in 5 seconds"

I can't connect to adb or fastboot, I can't boot in recovery (volume up and power), in fact I can't do anything.

I try to pull of the battery but it didn't change nothing.

The last thing I was doing before this, is to flash a custom recovery.img (made with both official rom and a TWRP rom).

I'm hopeless & I'll be glad if somenone have an idea to share it here.

Hello everyone! I used to play in my old LG 2 Mini games like Tomb Raider 1 and Tomb Raider 2. The game in some places, more open areas had a few frames drops. That was only with full details settings. In the middle details this no longer happened, run at full speed. I bought the Moto G4 Plus, thought it would have a better performance, but it turned out to be worse than a 2014 device (in my country) with 1GB of Ram and a Quad-Core processor. I really can not understand ... It is only my device or does anyone else have this problem?

Yes, I know it's not a hi-end device and is not the best for gaming, but ... a 2014 device with a lower hardware could do better ... anyway I did a benchmark on AnTuTu v6. 2.7 and my score was 43620 running on LineageOS 14.1-20170918, stock kernel.

Hello Everyone, I am really running out of options here so I made an account and decided to make a new thread. I have a problem regarding my Settings that it is kinda messed up and doubled some of the menus. I've tried to search the forum multiple times and only found 2 Threads regarding it and I am still not sure what to do. They said its about CSC, I checked PHONE INFO app and found out that I dont have any CSC installed.

So yesterday I successfuly rooted my S7 Edge Exynos SM-G935FD. Then after awhile I rebooted my device and completely forgot to turn the OEM Unlock which prompts the "Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock". So I flashed Stock ROM using Odin. I was actually expecting this would wipe out my entire files but it didn't. After that, I rooted my phone again and found out that my Settings was all messed up. Now that I've already downloaded bunch of apps that I need and transfered the files from my brothers laptop.

I just need a direct solution to fix this Settings without needing a computer or wiping my entire data since I dont have the laptop anymore. TIA.
