[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] gpgorbosjr:
Maybe you can try and call T-Mobile and see if they paid the phone off before selling it to you. If it's legit and paid off maybe they'll be nice and unlock it.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
They won't unlock it for a person who has never had an account with them and the device associated with that account.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] gpgorbosjr:
I'd probably look into returning it before you get screwed then.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
I agree with you. The OP should return it.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] gpgorbosjr:
Sorry. Realized you didn't buy it on eBay. Then maybe sell it to someone as a T-Mobile only phone. It sounds like it's not unlocked.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
I have an account with T-Mobile so it's easy for me. It's just hard for non customers. Former customers can still unlock stuff up to a point.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] gpgorbosjr:
Sounds like it might be a Craigslist type deal and the guy is stuck with the phone as is. Maybe if the IMEI is good he could at least sell it for what he bought it for or close.

I don't think it's as simple as an APN. I feel like most phones have that sorted out automatically these days. A Verizon prepaid Moto E will connect to TMobile automatically without APN settings. Its not like it used to be.

Sounds like he just got screwed. I suggest for Craigslist deals or things like that you test the sim before you buy.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
Well eBay is nice about returns. If it says unlocked and it isn't. He can get his money back.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] s0619212:
Appreciate everyone's concern. Should have specified more details. I am currently using MetroPCS on it, so yeah I can use the phone , plus the price that I paid for the phone was very good. I am thinking to get it unlocked I will get t mobile prepaid and add $110 , use it for few days and then try to get it unlocked.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] meathammer386:
Takes more than a few days i think its 90 days but not 100% on that
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] logikism:
Just get a friend with an account to call TMobile to unlock.

But if it's paid off they should unlock regardless...
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
He's prepaid. Takes a couple says. If it takes longer than that just contact T-Mobile through Twitter and viola. It should be taken care off.

---------- Post added at 06:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 AM ----------

Your friend would need the phone for a couple of days on his line if the phone was never used. It will not unlock automatically without that.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] s0619212:
Contacted t mobile thorough Twitter chart, was very helpful. Got $110 on the account, unfortunately TMobile couldn't unlock it because they said when they try to unlock it says it is not a TMobile phone , basically they told me whoever sold the phone probably didn't purchase from them. I am looking other places to unlock.

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] brian_2cool4u:
Why don't you ask support from the thread where you got the ROM? since not all of us are using it, you may get results and feedbacks from other users there. posting or starting a new thread is not the solution to your problem.

Kindly read proper posting or starting a new thread.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] naharramesh:
i've had the same problem and did post in the respective ROM forum, but received no reply. i uninstalled most of the programs that were in the ROM and then i was able to send and receive texts. this is probably not a good long term solution, though. but i hope kumara's latest rom with windows 6.1 should solve it.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] brian_2cool4u:
That is why you need to post it in the correct thread so that the ROM cooker would know if there are bugs in his ROM. He can then identify the problem and fix it or share ideas with other users who fix it. Just give good-ol-Garmin some time :) He may be busy at the moment, or even looking for the solution as we speak :D
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] _fm:
1st. check with your 02 sms plus,.

2nd. hard reset, AND DONT INSTALL ANY APPS!!! (does the problem persist???)

3rd. install all your apps, one by one, and reset after installing one apps, then try SMS (does the problem persist?) if yes, means that it caused by your apps,.

REGARDS !!!
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] _fm:
Okay, lets read and try 3 steps above,.

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] syntax-error:
i tried step 1,

i was succesful in sending an sms.

then i uninstalled o2 sms plus, i was able to send and recieve message with the stock messaging application.

thanks alot garm! :D

btw

could you suggest an alternative prog / app that is COMPATIBLE with your kumara touch that is like o2 sms plus? i need the scheduled sms sending feature of o2 sms plus thats why i tried installing it.?

why you can not received sms or text messages check your message service center number because some times message service number is not right and than you will not received text message.

I am now on September update which is on slot b

I went to fastboot and activated slot a and rooted using cf root and installed flashfire

In flashfire I selected Magisk 14.2 and flashed it on slot b

I rebooted

Right now I have the update prompt asking me whether to download and install the September update

What should I do?

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Crucial:
For how much time you have been in bootloop. Is bootanimation running.

I think after flashing root you have to wait for about 10 minutes before start of phone.

Otherwise do whatever op suggested.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] s0917:
So my phone keeps rebooting on its own like

Vibrate then the "Lock your bootloader warning" then the bootanimtion * reboot

By your guide, you mean, In fastboot active august slot, & boot it. root it using cf root method.

then load flashfire & flash supersu on slot september, then reboot.

Will the phone automatically boot the september slot, or do we have to go again in fastboot, & set active september slot ?

There are two methods

1. you have to set active system in fastboot

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Crucial:
If you want to update then better don't root one of your system. Download update in rooted system it will automatically update second unrooted system.

For eg. If system a is rooted then leave b unrooted. Whenevet ota arrives boot to rooted system and download ota there it will automatically flash on sys b which was left unrooted intentionally

So now i'm on Sep build again.

Now my phone's lockscreen is acting weird, it keeps on closing again & again.

I'll try flashing Full October build, via MiFlash Tool.

(without deleting data).

Hope this helps in making my phone stock (october build without root).

Can you tell me,

How to keep/save Data (apps & everything), while flashing the October build (14/10/2017) via Mi Flash.

Will the tool, ask me this, before flashing the build ?

Also will MiFlash tool, flash the october build, on both slots ?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] sunshinebhushan:
I think it flashes on the active slot, but you need not to worry about that.

To save data, while you be in MiFlash, once you put the file location, you will some tick options at the bottom of the MiFlash. Tick on "Save data" (I don't remember the exact word but something sort of that) option and go ahead for flashing.

Root with magisk and use magisk module for camera2api

If you modify build.prop in odrer to enable camera 2 api ota updates will not work.

However magisk 14.4 works on our device.

So you could root with magisk and use a magisk module to enable camera 2 api.

This way, you can disable the module when there is a new OTA update, do the update and then after having magisk working again in the updated rom enable the module.

Of course this means that you will have to wait some time before applying each OTA update in order to make sure that magisk works in them and can be used again after the update.

PS: I have written a guide here with the steps required to do this procedure and you can see here the procedure for applying an OTA update without loosing magisk. You can read it and see if it fits you.

Just got mine and I don't rly trust the seller he says this is OEM case but case covers the edges and that's a little strange to me. Anyone having this case can confirm that Liquid Air covers the Note 8 edges?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] rile1564:
I always get my Spigen cases on Amazon . Never got a counterfeit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] dbpaddler:
Only have it for my S8+ and it's a perfect fit. Like it better than any of the five cases I've tried for my Note 8. Would think it would be a similar fit for the Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] mankvl:
Maybe because Note 8 have smaller edges it's different. I like the feel of the case but thinking of getting the UAG plasma ash. I used UAG for ages and liked them, but wanted smth slimmer. Only TPU looks not so protective, but if you drop it it's all luck unless you use some hardcore case... Would like to see some drop tests of Note 8 with some main cases but still nothing good at YouTube ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] dbpaddler:
I don't mean the S8+ case should fit the Note 8. I mean it's a nice fitting case for the S8+ so I would imagine the one for the Note 8 would be nice as well...

And many of the cases now build air gaps into the corners so even if a case is thin, it still has resistance and space to travel thus reducing the amount of force transmitted to the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] furfmonkey:
I ordered one on Amazon it will be here Sunday i will take pics
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] mankvl:
Thanks will be waiting, I will do mine today to compare. This case was more of a first fast better grab because getting smth from Amazon takes week+ for me ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] furfmonkey:
here are the pics.. In my opinion it feels better than the diztronic case i had on my s8+ the texture on the back is grippy yet not gummy and the sides have "just" the right amount of grip.. I am pretty sure i will be using this case until i get my Alcantara one
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] alfred_mcskee:
I love this case, feels great in the hand and seems a good mix between protection and minimal/thin looks ?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Tatties04:
I wasn't a huge fan of this case. It looked great but was slippery. So I guess it depends on what you are looking for. I really like the liquid crystal case from Spigen. I prefer black but in only comes in clear.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] mattwaddy:
Does anyone else have a little nobble bit near the headphone jack? It right where I hold it and is pretty sharp feeling, shame as it's a nice case. Also is anyone using the whitestone dome with this? I've seen that it may no be compatible?

Hey guys,

Running PA 7.2.3-RELEASE currently.

Android 7.1.2

I've been having 2 issues with my phone lately:

1. I'm able to play music through my phone, to my car radio using bluetooth.

When I try to make a phone call, I can dial using my car radio, but there is no sound through bluetooth. (or a horrific noise)

2. This issue has persisted across a few different roms - Whenever my phone gets below 50% battery, it seems to disable 2/4 cores. This causes the phone to act sluggishly and really ruins the experience.

I don't particularly care for the phone deciding whether I care more about battery life than performance, so how the heck can I fix this? Can I use Franco Kernel with PA?

Cheers,

Hereric
