I agree. This is the best phone I've ever owned. I was nervous leaving the Pixel (previously was my favorite) but no regrets AT ALL!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Deleted member 7436581:
I find you'll live a much more enriched life if you don't spend so much time lamenting the negative opinions of others about something that you enjoy, yourself. Okay, there's many folks moaning about this or that, how is that meant to apply to your personal experience? How is that meant to intrude into your own enjoyment of YOUR device?

I strongly suggest you needn't concern yourself with how negatively others view the phone that you are enjoying thoroughly. Screw that noise and enjoy your new phone. Seriously, life is too short to dwell on such nonsense. You like the phone? Awesome, let those sour grapes continue moaning on whilst you continue having fun using your new phone.

Personally, I use these forums to seek advice on various topics dealing with the phone that I'm currently using and to lend my support wherever I'm able to. I try not to spend any real amount of time engaging in pointless discussion about whether or not this phone is great or if this other phone is better or what kind of phone other people should be using in place of this one. It's all nonsense.

Do you, boo boo. Do you and be happy with what you got.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] guthrien:
Yea, every launch is this way. It's worse for truly bad phones!

This is better than the 7 which was my favorite phone of all time. By no means perfect but worth being happy about.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] usmaak:
Exactly. I follow most flagship device launches and compared to many that I've seen, this is tame. There's a combination of valid complaints and imagined issues here, just like with every phone. It just seems like there aren't as many complaints as I usually see.

XDA, "land of the Whiners"...

If you've been here awhile, you learn to just ignore them, and/or you just dont come around for a few weeks/months/years, and you forget how it is for awhile..

I agree with you, this is a great phone, and I stopped looking for every little nit picky thing years ago when it comes to cell phones; these are a mass produced piece of electronics, NOT a custom built nuclear reactor, and to think they are going to be 1000% perfect without flaws is just silly..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] krabman:
Well... If they were to make me the lead designer and give me the corporate clout to make it stick I'm pretty sure I could make a phone that was 72% perfect. I want stuff that hasn't been invented yet! :)

Seriously though how many people do you know that wouldn't rather have a phone a few millimeters thicker and more battery? This isn't just a shot at the Note8, most people I know use cases not just because of the drop protection but because they're getting too thin to hold comfortably nowadays. There was a time when I was all over thin but I'm over it, in fact over it is a ways behind me now. And honestly, dual speakers, yeah. You can make the earpiece a speaker like others have done and greatly improve sound for a few cents. We're not talking about making a resonant chamber, adding a sub, just up the ante a few cents on the call speaker and we've got a lot more sound. This is a 1k smartphone not a Wally World on sale flip where single speakers belong. Do I even need to mention the fingerprint scanner location? What a slap in the face. I'm running Samsung and whoever suggested that would have been pulled out of the meeting by a couple of great big security guards who would have unceremoniously threw him or her to the curb making sure to hit his or her head on every object along the way. Then while laying on the curb they would have kicked them where it hurts until there was absolutely no way they could ever breed. If they had bred someone would have to be sent out to their house to do what was necessary to protect the human gene pool.

Oh, BTW, I'm happy with the phone. If it wasn't for the fingerprint scanner I would probably keep it for some time, maybe as long as the spring releases. Phones have become very good now so I don't feel much reason to upgrade every time something new comes along like I used to do. On the other hand the fingerprint scanner is a major irritant to me. I don't like rear scanners in the first place because I often use my phone on the desk where they obviously don't work without picking up the phone. Iris and facial don't work there either. I could get over that if at least it was placed decently and worked well when I'm out and about but it isn't and doesn't work as well or as quickly as a yesterdays tech One+ that cost less than half as much.

Bottom line, it's the best phone money can buy despite it's flaws. I just hope that every person who approved the fingerprint scanner placement all the way up the line found themselves on the curb, neutered, and without work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] wase4711:
yeah, I hate anything back there; I got rid of a couple LG phones for that same reason; I dont like ANYTHING except the camera lens on back...

And, yeah, they should have put stereo speakers on this thing, unless there is some engineering reason for it, and a bigger battery would have made more sense..

Frankly, I think most of these electronic mfgs eventually add most of the things people complain about; there is a SD card slot on this phone now, after the uproar when they dropped it.

Maybe the note 9 will have stereo speakers, and the note 10 will have a larger battery..I'm sure the plans for the next releases have already been somewhat finalized, so time will tell.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RhanJones:
Hello all,

Last week i was watching a game on my phone, when my phone suddenly crashed. I can't seem to get it working anymore.

It boots until the Samsung logo comes on, and then it stops at that screen. The light come on and off but it doesn't do anything else.

I have erased the memory and cache via the recovery boot, but to no avail.

It's the I9195XXSCQA7 model. I looked at sammobile for the file, but the closest i got was a Russian Android version ( I9195XXSCQAG )

Can anyone help me out please? Clueless over here.... :(

Hey guys!

Right now i have a nexus 5x and iphone 7 plus.

My Roku appears as a cast mirroring when i use my iphone but not on my nexus 5x, and i read that not all devices are compatible.

If any of you has a Roku, could you please confirm?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
5X doesn't support miracast. The iPhone does, and I believe Samsung always supports it. I know the 7 supported it and so did the S7E. I will check my S8+ and Note 8 when I get home.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] tanquef:
Thank you, i already know that by owning that device, my question was is the note 8 support it!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] harveydent:
Samsung has always supported Miracast. I think I had it as far back as my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
In 4.0(might be 5.0) I believe that was when Google dropped Miracast support in the base code. From that point forward only OEMs that want to support it would have to add the code themselves. Samsung and LG pretty much every device they have added it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ekapunk:
I was installing a custom recovery .img, and everything was fine until by via abd, I made my phone boot into the custom recovery. Now it just turns on, appears the Huawei logo, then turns off, and then on again.... I don't know what to do.

I can't enter fastboot because as it is turning on and off constantly, and can't connect it to my pc via adb. I tried leaving the phone until the battery died, but in the exact moment I connect it to the power supply, it starts all over again (usually, a battery icon appears, but it is not happening)

If someone helps me, that would be very nice and I would be very grateful. :(

UPDATE: I managed to enter to twrp and tried to flash super SU. Now my device turns on and freezes on the Huawei logo. After this happened I lost the ability to enter to twrp
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] billubakra:
Hi,

So finally Moto has decided that there will be an Oreo update for G4 plus. But they have ignored G4 non-plus version. This is really pathetic on their part. The phone was released in May 2016 only and the company is pulling the plug after a mere 1 and a half years. There is not much difference between the phones so that is any I selected the non-plus version. Is there a way to contact their management or the concerned department so that we can have our voices heard? Any petition going on about the same?

Thanks
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Elie.Be:
Don't expect too much from them. We could rely on custom ROMS.. just be patient.. at least one oreo ROM should be here ;)
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] billubakra:
Yes ROM's will be there but I don't think that I will get time to flash as schedule is way too busy nowadays. I am not able to find time to even backup data from my phone so flashing is a big no, OTA yes.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] giovannipaquier:
so i guess no ports, right? :/
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Sanras:
Oreo port

Well, couldn't someone port the g4 official Oreo update to g4? As said previously, the phones are practically identical. Should eb no problem to sideload the g4 plus update on the g4.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] andrescor24:
moto g4 and g4 plus are athene version, they are the same build, so it will work on both
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Sanras:
Exactly. So, just grab the update zip from g4 plus, flash it on your g4, and you have Oreo. Yay.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] webfrm:
There are some hardware differences on the two phones so the update may not work, so don't just grab a zip and think it will solve the trick. Depending on what Lenovo (the owners of Moto) do in their code it might be an easy or hard port depending on what they do. Also nobody has come up with a way to root and install anything once we got Nougat n these mid range phones so I am not as hopeful there is a developer still working on this phone. If you want Oreo (trust me I'm debating too) we may need to upgrade to a newer phone than a 2 year old one when Oreo does come out for G4+. The companies have built in the obsolescence on these phones after 2 years. So they can continue to make profit by not offering upgrades on every device; even Apple doesn't think about the 3 and 4 series anymore in their IOS roll-outs and slows it down on them. So we might need to save the pennies and look deals come out in November.
[Nextbit Robin] ipaul9:
i flashed supersu in twrp and now the phone gets stuck at "your android has been unlocked" screen.

my android is 7.1.1
[Nextbit Robin] /root:
You mean the system will boot in 5 seconds screen?

Here are a few things you can do, try them one by one and in order.

- Reboot and immediately press power to let it boot in system.

- Go to recovery. Wipe > Format data (like you did after installing recovery) try to reboot and see if you can boot in the system.

- If you are or want to install a custom ROM then at recovery wipe data and flash a custom ROM and install from recovery.

If above doesn't make sense or doesn't work at all then Flash Stock, which is very very easy.

[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] trainman261:
Hi everyone,

Whenever I press Control-Alt-Delete on my bluetooth keyboard, my phone restarts. The only problem is that my bluetooth keyboard is a multi-device keyboard which I also use at work with my business computer, and my business computer needs me to use the Control-Alt-Delete combo to unlock it. So, what will happen is that I come back to my desk, hit Control-Alt-Delete on my bluetooth keyboard, completely forgetting that I had switched to my phone before leaving my desk... and my phone reboots, which is pretty infuriorating.

So, here are my questions:

Is this behaviour normal? I've found this link here: http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player...external-keyboard-shortcut-keys-documentation but that's for Android 4.4.2 and is supposedly only supposed to reboot the phone when it's at the home screen, but I can confirm that this happens whether I'm on the home screen, in another app, or my phone is locked.

How can I prevent this from happening?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] WayneS95:
So guys this is my scenario....

1)i was using slimrom 7.1.2 before a week

2)then came back to the final MIUI 8 dev rom(7.8.something) (marshmallow)to try out xposed again

3)then today i flashed AOSP oreo

4)on booting it asked for my previous screen lock password...when i entered it, it gave an error stating "ur password is correct but ur data is corrupt so u need to format ur phone to continue"

5)as i had some files on internal i force restarted it to TWRP and tried to flash the same version of slimrom again but it ended with an error "ZIP signature verification"....

6)this same error shows up when trying to flash any custom rom

7)currently i have disabled "zip signature verification" option in ZCX twrp settings

Can anyone tell me what is causing the ZIP SIGNATURE VERIFICATION FAILED error??....
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] E.L.E.C.T.R.O.N.I.C:

how can I flash oero roms?

solved: I did Format data (not wipe data) and I pass enter password error.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] samueljeba:
I had the same problem but with official twrp, try flashing another recovery or,

You can copy your to pc while in TWRP and then format data, format system, install custom rom,

If it didn't work, flash latest stable miui firmware, unlock bootloader, install twrp, install custom rom, It'll work.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] WayneS95:
Thanks guys....but I can't even flash any nougat or marshmallow based ROMs...always ends up with ZIP SIGNATURE VERIFICATION error...any idea what caused this error....previously I was able to flash without this error...only solution I found so far is to disable the zip signature verification setting in twrp menu
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] vamsikri1234:
Bootloader Locked

So basically the problem is that the bootloader has been locked or the data has been encrypted by the previous rom so to solve this problem and the signature error what you need to do is go twrp and hit wipe->format data ..then it will ask you to type "yes"....

BY PRESSING THE "YES " IT WILL FORMAT EVERYTHING IN THE STORAGE...I REPEAT DO TAKE A BACKUP OF DATA BEFORE DOING THIS...

after the wiping process is done the encryption is removed so now the internal storage is empty so make sure you have rom in SD card so flash the ROM and the gapps and you are good to go..

Hope this solved your problem..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] WayneS95:
Thanks vamskiri....will try it
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Shree_Chawre:
Here read this.

You flashed miui dev (official) so what offcial dev roms do is they encrypt your phone (idk why) but it automatically decrypts while updating through OTA. And as it is encrypted and it automatically decrypts in OTA updates, so to use another custom roms you've to decrypt it by yourself but neither you or I know the decryption password. So the only option you have now is to format data / factory reset. (IT WILL WIPE EVERY LAST FILE EXCLUDING SYSTEM) :rolleyes: ;) :good:
