VeriChat's gone, which causes problems for me! I have a hermes without a data plan, but unlimited text.

Does anyone know of an AIM and/or MSN client or multi-protocol client that uses SMS instead of data to send IM's? I've been out of luck with searching and getting a little desperate. Before I had service on my phone, I used IM+ after Agile, but without data I don't dare use them unless I'm in wifi with GPRS disabled. I've heard of IM forwarding, but I'd rather have a client with a buddy list.

Any help would be appreciated! I tried to search the forums, but my queries were too small with just AIM, IM and SMS.

The OZ app from ATT.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] zachwacky:
I've heard generally bad things about OZ's speed since it isn't hardcoded into the device, with IM delays of sometimes two minutes or more! Harsh.

I'm new to using messengers on the phone, as I've only recently gotten service (It'd just been a PDA for seven months until my CDMA contract expired) and I was really hoping to get some kind of AIM or MSN client that uses solely SMS for connecting and sending messages.

Is there nothing I can use? I'm getting slightly desperate.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] RaW D Coy:
Hi,

Is it possible to make the navigation bar be hidden while in the home screen outside of apps? Cause in apps you can hide it and go full screen.

Also is it possible to hide the top bar with the clock and icons kinda like the nav bar when it's hidden making that you have to swipe down ( up for nav bar ) to reveal it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SteelPicori:
in settings-> Display->Navigation bar

turn on the show and hide button setting

now double tap the dot on the far left of the nav bar (will turn into outline rather solid circle)

caveat nav bar will show up when virtual keyboard is activated*
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] RaW D Coy:
still shows up while on home screen its white too then not even dark..

I've got a M4 Aqua that says in the lower right corner "Not For Sale", and some numbers, a guy that gave it to me said that it was phone that was in the shop, and had some demo OS..

Yes, it just was taken from the demo stand, like some tech shops has... Or it is a real test proto...

My phone has a cool sticker on a back which says "SONY MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS Internal device." on it, but technically it's just a E2312 with some cosmetical changes on it, and it had some interesting ROM... Before I flashed a 6.0 on it)))
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Milos12:
so you want to say that this model can be rooted?

Maybe. Is it recognizable by Sony's PC Companion?

Please share your battery experience
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] Cuchulainn:
I'll share battery info but am off work the next few days so it won't be representative.

Camera seems good. Not tried low light. Definitely not going to take a picture of a grid because snaps so far look good and if I calibrate it and then see some distortion on the grid it'll annoy me unnecessarily. If I really need pictures of objects with minimal distortion then no camera phone is suitable so in my mind no point looking for flaws in a phone that's giving me a great first impression.

Got mine as well, went for the Blue version. Had the XZ and the XZ1 is a good improvement, much quicker, a bit lighter and nicer overall. Also got the XZ Premium which I find a bit unwieldy in comparison. I'd been looking forward to the XZ1 coming out and am not disappointed. I loved the XZ so I knew in advance I'd really like the XZ1.

Decent battery - not a normal day's use. But about 3 hours screen on time and still 53% left.

'The auto backlight mode is jittery, though. It flickers up and down rather than doing so smoothly. I’ve found it a bit distracting when reading an article on the train. Go through a tunnel and the Xperia XZ1 looks like it’s having a breakdown. Let’s hope Sony fixes this with an update.'

So I just received my Sony XZ1 compact, and I was hoping someone could help me with these three questions:

- how can I check my lockscreen (notifications) when using the fingerprint sensor? (It immediately unlocks...)

- two triangles appear left of the WiFi icon (in the statusbar) when data is being transferred, shifting the position of the vibrate icon; is there any way to prevent this? (It's rather distracting)

- vibration is really noisy, can others with an XZ1 compact confirm?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Goffredo530:
I've seen a few threads here where people get "GPS Signal Lost" when the using Google Maps and the screen turns off, etc. That sounds really annoying, but that is NOT my problem.

My problem is my phone going "GPS SIGNAL LOST!!!" super loud in the wee hours of the morning and waking me up. Three times it's happened so far in the early morning. And it happened again just now -- I checked in my running apps and I don't have Google Maps running at all, or really any app that would utilize the GPS. I do notice the little "GPS" symbol (kind of looks like a "pin" in the Google Maps app) showing in the status bar and I don't think it's normally there.

Anyone have any ideas on how I can disable this? Or find out which app is mysteriously running in the background?

I recently installed "wahoo fitness" which keeps track of my runs kinda like Strava, and it definitely uses GPS, so this is my primary suspect; is there some way to see if it spawned an orphaned background process that is utilizing my GPS? Or more generally, is there any way to see which processes are requesting GPS?

Thanks for your help!

DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS. You will be stuck on the weird engineered firmware where it only charges up to 80%. Towards the end when you flash the BL File if I can remember you will get stuck in a boot.

Long story short, don't even bother unless you want to waste like 2 days and stressing out over a bricked s8.

Here you are my last modified ROM based on latest update v3.06. Now I can say that GApps are 100% functional, I tested near every Google app (Keep, Games, Movies, Earth, Maps...) and worked without any issues. How could I make this possible? This is a secret, but a friend help me ;)

FEATURES:

- Removed some bloatware apps.

I am going to release soon a harder debloater to remove some other apps and in next versions maybe I will add Aroma.

- Magisk root manager.

You can use pay apps and others with this root manager.

- GApps completely functional.

As I said before, now they are working without issues.

I also made a little change and now notifications should appear correctly, without delays...

DOWNLOAD 3.06:

Mega -> https://goo.gl/BzdxBf

Yandex mirror -> https://yadi.sk/d/C0KmSl1o3N9Ygb

GDrive mirror -> https://goo.gl/4o1XZm

DOWNLOAD 3.08:

MEGA -> https://goo.gl/DD9v4s

DOWNLOAD 4.06:

GDrive: https://goo.gl/fMtzBm

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.- Wipes of data, cache and dalvik.

2.- Flash the ROM.

3.- Reboot.

4.- Enjoy!

CHANGELOG:

- 4.06 update

- New 4.06 base.

- Flashing script modified to avoid error if /system partition is formatted before installation.

- Magisk updated to latest version: 15.3 Core and 5.5.5 Manager.

- New custom settings header.

- Some little changes in build.prop

Maybe I forgot some other little things :)

IMPORTANT NOTES:

- If the flash process fails with some error, it's because you didn't follow the previous instructions, so you know... This won't happen in 4.06 now.

- If you are having trouble getting your Google account the first time, try again and be patient, it works.

- Remember to give all the permissions to GApps, to avoid problems.

- It probably will not pass the SafetyNet test, to pass it you just need to install the Universal SafetyNet Fix module.

CREDITS:

A lot of thanks to my friend Fransua1981, who helped me a lot with fixing the GApps' problem.

[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] backboycn:
First of all thank you for your efforts and contribution.

I am still not sure if you are using 3rd Party Recovery or the OEM recovery to flash your rom.

I am very hesitate with my Z17 which has been flashed with 3rd Party Recovery and Rooted with SuperSU.

It has been revealed in reference to http://bbs.nubia.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1001481&highlight=root, the root will be lost after you wipe off data.

Assuming I use 3rd Party Recovery to flash your rom. SuperSU will be replaced by Magisk but the device is still not rooted after being wiped off data. and i cannot use the 3rd Party recovery to root the device as it will reinstall Supersu.

Please advise how to resolve this issue....

Thank you.
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] arceoxis:

@ arceoxis : Thanks for your work.

Because I'm not able to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP, the only things I can do are Wipe user data and Do a factory reset with the stock recovery.

Is it sufficient to install your ROM ?

Can I flash your ROM with the stock recovery tools ?

Thanks
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] arceoxis:
You have a guide with how to unlock bt and flash TWRP. You need TWRP to flash custom ROMs, stock recovery only can flash stock ROMs.
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ursus91:
Thanks arceoxis, I know that guide... May be my configuration is "special" or my phone is "special" (or both) everything I tried doesn't work (see my last tests here).

I tried on 4 different machines (2 Win 8.1 x64 pro, XP pro, XP mediacenter and 2 linux (Mint Cinnamon)

fastboot always hangs on fastboot oem unlock...

I'm not sure it is possible to flash TWRP without unlock

I'll try again this evening (with the 3.06 stock) :

* factory reset (via parameters)

* wipe data, via stock recovery

* wipe to factory (I don't remember the exact item, I don't have the phone with me) via stock recovery

* flash the last 3.06 stock ROM

* "rewipe" (is it necessary ?)

... and try to unlock and flash TWRP again

<EDIT>

Done...

Parameters => reset to factory (add format user space)

reboot

reboot to stock recovery

wipe : user data and cache

reset to factory again

reboot

the phone started as a new one

install some applications (eg. firefox to have standard browser)

start adb session in administrative mode

unlock : ok

twrp : ok

restart the phone in normal mode : ok

Band locking for Nubia UI 5.0

Nubia z17 is best phone but in Nubia UI 5.0 Modem driver has Algorithm modified by Nubia Team which continuously change LTE band for best signal & best speed ,which is good only on paper and very good effort but practically not good because every time band change Data connection & VOLTE (HD) connection off & on so if you are calling then call drop & if you are in internet connection lost. So BAND Locking is must in settings for Nubia UI 5.0

At least in India without Band locking , i can not use Reliance JIO LTE it has band 3,5 & 40 , and NUBIA UI 5.0 change band 3 to 5 & 5 to 40 , or 3 to 40 any time continuously.

I use Network Signal Guru Application with ROOT ,

So if any nubia z17 users face this difficulty please use Network Signal Guru App with ROOT your phone.

I think Nubia team must give band locking option in setting in next update.

Please forward this problem to Nubia Team China.
