[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] NSDCars5:
I think I can explain the fingerprint problem. When you use the U-Touch button often, the sensor gets dirty and needs to be cleaned before it can recognize a print. Someone on the forum said putting tape on the sensor helps, but that just made fingerprints stop working for me completely. What I did was disable U-Touch entirely and use the software nav keys. I mapped the U-Touch functions to other stuff - like double tapping the home button to open the dialer and stuff. Stock ROM doesn't let you do that, but some custom ROMs (I use AEX 4.5) do.

Camera isn't really that great. I don't need a camera so I don't mind, but I've seen better stuff for the price.

Also, I don't think QC3 works on any ROM, although I'd love to be corrected on that.

Hey, see if the Xiaomi A1 is available to buy instead for a similar price - IMO it's a much more well-rounded phone, and I've seen a Snapdragon 625 phone (Redmi Note 4), and it's about on par with the Zuk Z2 in performance, IMO. You get better benchmarks on the Zuk, but actual usage is 100% the same. Mi A1 has official updates from Google and a better camera too.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] blueman24:
I'm also torn between A1 and Z2 (lol funny names). The main feature (for me) that the Z2 has is the smaller 5" screen. I prefer a compact form factor plus the z2 also has a 500mah bigger battery. I just hope that some kind soul ports the latest and greatest of android to the z2.

btw, does volte (jio) work proper on custom roms?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] NSDCars5:
I think so? Not sure because I don't have Jio personally, but a lot of ROMs advertise VoLTE.

I can confirm that the battery on the Z2 is excellent - I get anywhere from 6-8 hours of SoT and I didn't even do any tweaks after installing the ROM. About the form factor though, you're not going to notice a huge difference - I hold a Z2 Plus and a Redmi Note 4 side to side, they're not really that different. Where the RN4 is wider, the Z2 Plus is thicker. I'd imagine the same would carry for the Mi A1.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] blueman24:
Yeah, I brought a Z2. The A1 is good but the updates aren't handled by Google. If those Android One phones would get updated the same day along with nexus and pixel then maybe i would have given it a second thought. Even now, its launching with Nougat and they "promise" that it would be updated to O in 3-4 months. In three months, most phones get custom roms ready so no use of buying the xiaomi a1. I also don't sign up to the dual camera gimmick. If i even buy a phone for the camera, it would be the pixel or nothing. On the Z2, i couldn't care less. i can just carry my dedicated camera.

Now i just hope that VoLTE works nicely cause i use jio as my primary carrier and as you know, they don't have 2g/3g fallback.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] n00b_dr0id:
I wouldn't buy this phone if given a chance again. Even with custom ROMs performance is below par.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] blueman24:
Care to elaborate?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] NSDCars5:
Sure, that's cool. Have fun with your new device!
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] niyonsv:
- my phone is now on AEX 4.6

- Jio is working without any issues. I can make calls from it even without turning on the LTE data.

- I use U-Touch single tap for 'back' and long touch for 'Google Now on Tap', and left and right swipe for one-handed mode. I don't like the sound when pressing that button, so never use that.

- so for 'recents' and 'home', I use 'Swipe Navigation' by Suphi : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.suphi.swipenavigation . I even purchased the full version. This is one of the better phones to use this app since there's no button (even capacitive) other than U-Touch. It has many customisations like long swipe for last app, dock, etc. More than that, it consumes only ~8mb of RAM.

- installed >300 apps, LTE mobile data always on, location (battery saving) always on, adaptive brightness (on day) browsing, chatting, gaming, watching videos,.. and still get 5-6 hours of SoT

- I don't care about the camera that much. So can't say anything about that, but I'm very happy with the results.

- for my smaller hands, 5" phones are good. And I love large screens if they're bezel-less (but these are expensive ;) )
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] silvernirvash:
Is there such a thing for the Google pixel??? I currently have a case made by Ghostek and it's a nice enough case but I feel like it interferes with the phone's connectivity somewhat and my google pixel heats up much faster while the case is on it.

On top of that no matter what I do case or no, whenever I put my phone in my pocket while using a wireless headset the audio breaks up frequently, especially when my hand is in the same pocket as my phone (I get paranoid that it might fall out of my pocket because incidents like that have happened in the past to other devices and small gadgets I might carry with me) as soon as my hand touches the phone while it's in my pocket the audio completely goes off even though I have my Bluetooth still connected to the headset. I Have a few different headsets, they're all Sony brand and I ONLY have this issue with the google pixel. I have a Moto X Pure as a backup device if my Pixel ever gets lost or whatever and it's rooted with a custom ROM and THAT has a perfect Bluetooth connection under almost every condition I can come up with while the pixel can not. Does anyone else have this issue? If there is a solution to this issue please tell me, if there is a case I can buy that not only protects the phone BUT improves connectivity for wireless headsets and Bluetooth devices as a whole that would be a double bonus for me.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] scryan:
Is there any case for any phone that actually improves reception? With out actually being hooked up to the antenna, any material put in the case would either help block, or at best not block as much right? Either it would absorb radio waves and act like a Faraday cage, or it would just not block... Probably nothing can be done to actually improve?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] galaxys:
Maybe a Bumper case would be better than a regular case...
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] KevinDel:
So I tried to flash a custom recovery and got this

sending 'recovery' (13134 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.432s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 0.453s]

Was curious if it flashed or not?

EDIT: I got the SU from here and it's still not giving me root after flashing SU to the device.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] Moderi:
From what I've seen so far, you may be trying to flash a custom recovery that is not made for your device, which variant are you using? (ex: XT1760, XT1764, you can see them as SKU in fastboot mode)

Also, from where did you download the twrp?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] KevinDel:
I got the TWRP to actually work now, now it's trying to get SU to work. I got TWRP from here I can't get majisk or SU to run at all though now.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LifeAsADroid:
So I know how to create a custom map using TomTom's MyDrive program on the computer, and I know how to upload that custom "map" (with desired route) to my Google Maps account on the computer, and I know how to open the map/route file on my phone, but how do I force Google Maps to navigate based on that exact route? It appears to only show the route as an overlay, not as a desired route. Is it possible to force Google Maps to navigate based on the route I want to take created in the GPX file?

Thanks!

[Moto Z Play Themes, Apps, and Mods] dandrumheller:
Not positive, but if this is truly just a bunch of build.prop tweaks, you should be able to back up your original build prop and save it somewhere. Then install this. If you don't like it, just overwrite the tweaked build.prop with the backup you made.

[Moto Z Play Themes, Apps, and Mods] vibraniumdroid:
Because I like the theme
[Moto Z Play Themes, Apps, and Mods] kennethho:
I change theme relatively often on my laptop. I just went back and check the screenshot, and confirmed I am on something else and I can't remember which theme it was, 'cause the reason I change often, is that I haven't found one meeting my need (little manual modification is acceptable, but not too much. I suck bad with GUI).

Here is my current working setup FYI https://i.imgur.com/FLUy3Ad.png

There are 3 panels:

Top: my main panel. global menu, shortcuts, status icons and monitors

Left: a few less important monitors and window list. auto expanded. so it doesn't occupy my workspace when I dont need it.

Bottom: I don't usually have this panel. It's only there because I am working on a feature for the panel. It's my testing ground, so I won't screw up the other two panels I needed.

On a side note, as I've been working on the panels for a few days now, I actually figured out how to programatically backup and restore their configuration just this afternoon. Perhaps I should write a script to do it and save my ass in case if I screw it up. lol

What's the SOT after flashing this mod?
[Moto Z Play Themes, Apps, and Mods] JonasVFC:
what a stupid question.
[Moto Z Play Themes, Apps, and Mods] thechloroform:
The OP says that there is an improvement in battery life so how is it stupid to ask about the screen on time (SOT) under this build.prop edit mod. Just plain curiosity that's all sir.
[Moto Z Play Themes, Apps, and Mods] JonasVFC:
have you ever seen 2 people with the same SOT on the same device, with the same installed apps, with the same setup, same everything? NO. Useless question. Try for yourself and tell us how many SOT did you get then so we can ignore it peacefully
[Moto Z Play Themes, Apps, and Mods] thechloroform:
The problem here isn't about having the same SOT in all the devices of this particular model. When a person asks for SOT, it means that he's asking whether there is an improvement of battery performance. Currently my average Screen On time is 14h in Moto Z play and I use it moderately on wifi and reading. No heavy-duty apps or games. For heavy usage, I get close to 8-9h SOT. Lineage users here have said that they only get 7h usage in their device when they use it moderately. And all I meant to ask is if the users experienced an increased battery performance and if they did then what's their heavy/moderate SOT.

Your point is valid. 2 people on the same device with the same setup, apps and usage will experience a similar battery performance on average. 'On average' is the important word here. You still don't get it but I'll tell you how it works. On average, similar device users with same rom, kernel, settings, usage and apps experience a similar SOT. And when I asked SOT I meant the average SOT in this mod. The question sounded stupid to you because you didn't think about the averaging factor. It's ok. It happens.

Rest assured I don't want to beat a dead horse but does nobody else find it crazy that there isn't a single news article even from the apple '360p fan boys' criticizing how Samsung is handling any of the former Note 7 owners' delayed pre-orders, or just the lack of communication from Samsung in general? Or should this just be the expected norm with SamUSA Customer Service, going forward... :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] funziebear:
SamsungUSA is ran by some other company this was discussed a lot a while ago , they take for ever to reply , their customer service plain and simple ducks balls , I ordered the s8 plus and my expirience wasn't as bad as everyone else's but it wasn't as good as it would and could have been with t mobile , I ordered my note thru to bile this time around and it only took 3 days to process and ship my phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryland Johnson:
Have you ANY idea how fortunate you are in the USA with regard to such matters? You got free this and that when you bought the Note 7 then you got compensation when you returned it to Samsung plus deals and goodness knows what! This was over a year ago and you STILL expect more.............???

In most non USA countries we got zero freebies as a pre order and IF we did get a freebie we had to give it back when we returned BOTH our Note 7's! We have had no mention of special deals off the Note 8 and have never been compensated in any way for the troubles we had with the purchase of the Note 7's.

You are spoilt and this sense of entitlement is annoying and puerile. Move on, the Note 7 is history.

Ryland
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Skyymiles:
Like I get what you're saying; however, like us in the US, given what you knew about basically not getting anything extra, you still chose to purchase a Note as well?? So that's kind of irrelevant. As stated by others, the EMEA, the UK and other marketing/customer relations divisions are separate from the US and are in no way tied to the decisions made about how to compensate former Note 7 customers affected by the faulty handset, other than by the name of the company(Samsung) which you agreed to purchase your device from too. You ain't special. I myself never received any compensation for returning my device, I know a lot of other people didn't. Sure we got replacements, but the fact of the matter remains that we all, the rest of the world included, a year later are still waiting, even after the release of the next phone for Samsung to get their **** together. And they haven't as of.

Anyways, as you said, the Note 7 IS history, and that sir is exactly my point! If Samsung would just communicate with their customers a little bit or A LOT A BIT about what they were thinking, we might actually STFU. Patience is not hitting the cancel button on my pre-order for a promotion somebody at Samsung decided to offer me because of a faulty handset the world was sold over a year ago. I could care less about the compensation, or any extras. I care about my brand loyalty and right now it's slipping and fast.
