Restarts perhaps but not necessarily bootloops. I have not upgraded and I experienced the boot loop of death myself. I was able to fix with the tools provided here
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I7210I:
restarts i got only two and only in oreo, the bootloop was fixed too (i don't remember even how cause it was only in the previews version of oreo) but except the restarts i get nothing, is it because of the oreo?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turboedm:
I get the battery issue with nougat and Oreo, it's worse with Oreo.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I7210I:
so according to the answers it's software (oreo-nougat) thing and not hardware, am i right?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
No, you're not. It's just ppl come out of the woodwork blaming every new OS. Usually it's because they either already had a pre-existing hardware issue (eg. degraded battery) or they did not perform a clean wipe and install the new OS from a blank slate.

Where can I find a .flv player??

I need to watch my .flv movies which are already stored on my device (so I'm not talking about see youtube's videos)..

I have already tried TCPMP and its plugin.. But it doesn't work.. It isn't able to open my .flv files (and I have installed the plugin)...

Anyway.. Any solution?

It could go well also something which allow me to play .flv videos directly from PIE or NetFront...

I already know that youtube allows you to see its videos throught TCPMP, but I need to see also other videos, not onle youtube's ones...

Thank you!

:confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] irus:
tcpmp works for me
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dishe:
yeah, flavio, I think you're doing something wrong. I watch .flv files all the time with tcpmp.

Nothing fancy to make it work, I just install the flash media bundle with tcpmp (the part that makes it work for online youtube videos), and then within tcpmp, click file->open and browse to the .flv on my storage card.

Can't get much more simple... what's not working?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] flaviopac:
I don't know what is wrong..

I have done exactly what you said....

When I try to open a .flv video with TCPMP, an error occours saying that "codec isn't supported".....

Maybe the plugin I download is corrupted...

Can you send me a link to download it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Infuruno:
try reinstalling or getting the plugin from a different source. and r u running tcpmp 0.81?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] flaviopac:
I'm running 0.72RC1 version....

I find the plugin only throught sourceforge.......

Please, if you have some links to new version or plugin, tell me..

thank you..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oldsap:
This is worked for me...

http://rapidshare.com/files/91614845/TCPMP_and_Video_Bundle.rar.html
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] flaviopac:
Is there also the flv plugin in this pack?

I try again unistalling the old version and installing the new one (0.81), then I've installed the .flv plugin...

Same thing...

Player says: "video codec () not supported by the player"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] flaviopac:
Just tried it.. and it doesn't work..

Same error as before......

I've tried to open some youtube videos (that I've downloaded, so not in streaming), and I'm not able to play them....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chunga168:
hmm... sorry to say TCPMP works fine for me too
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Firewired:
Have you made sure that Flash Video is checked in File Associations?

When prog open select Options/Settings and then select page File Associations and scroll down near the bottom to check Flash Video box, and any others you might wish to enable.

It's one thing installing the plug-in but it still needs enabling!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] flaviopac:
Can you send me a video which work on your device?

So I can check if the problem is releated to my videos or to something else....

:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Infuruno:
Only asked if u were running 0.81 cose the bundle is made for 0.72 (but can still work with 0.81) so installs in '(Storage Card\)Program Files\TCPMP' while 0.81 installs in 'Program Files\ TCPMP (something)\Player' with the 0.81 try moving the files from 'program files\tcpmp' to the file for the 0.81 version then try again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] flaviopac:
Yes, I have already done it...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] flaviopac:
Can someone upload a video which work correctlyon his device?

so I can check if my problem is connected to my videos...

I'm with Flav.... I have about 20 .flv videos that some friends sent me that will play just fine on my pc but every time I open one up (even using the bundle from the previous page) I always get the "codec not supported" error.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aaronpoweruser:
be sure flv is set in file extention in tcmp options

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TacoLoco:
check if the codec files are in the tcpmp directory! i installed tcpmp 0.81 and wondered why flv isn't working.. Then I figured out that the flv plugin made a new folder so I had to move the content to the real tcpmp folder!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] flaviopac:
I have already moved the plugin to the correct folder......

As I've said before, My videos don't work, but, the one that someone posted on this thread, works correctly......ù

Hello frnds

is it possible to open online .flv live stream through TCPMP player? if yes, how to do that?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mallman:
Maybe this will get this phone into the hands of more people.

https://www.androidcentral.com/esse...id-oreo-beta-coming-weeks-night-mode-included

The other part of this that's exciting is that Essential is one of the first companies (OnePlus, Google, ?) to do this but we should expect that based on its AOSP-ness I guess
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] twflys:
Just too bad Oreo is a rather lame update.. hardly noticed anything on my Nexus 6P.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Ellises:
I remember when a new version of Android used to mean major changes.... But Oreo does have a few *cough* ui changes, I've been running it on my Nexus 6. Tho all I want on the essential phone is root and my multirom.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] elkay:
I'm going to go on the record as stating that I hope they have Android N system images provided at the point they release the O beta. This will allow those that want to try it the ability to revert. The other thing that would be helpful is if we had TWRP, which I'm sure the kernel release will help with and also give us an option of reverting.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] skw5115:
on twitter they said that the images would be coming soon. My guess is that means like the next week or 2
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] elkay:
Yep, I am aware. But "soon"tm is about the most grey area response anyone can give. Without hard dates, it really means nothing lol. I am impressed that they delivered on the kernel source so quickly, though.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] JCBomb:
I was kinda hoping this phone would never get an update.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
That's a weird thing to say
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] going_home:
Good to hear, I was wondering.

;)
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] cswithxda:
Oh man! I tried to read your post but got lost after several lines. Paragraphing would be nice. Actually, essentially essential!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
No kidding - I didn't bother reading past the first couple sentences.

But to answer his post - no one knows exactly when Oreo is coming for this phone.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Seamonkey79:
We do too, soon™

Same as when the restore images and uncompressed images from the stock app will be here. Also, the Rapture.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
Exactly. I'm sure it will come, eventually.

I have Oreo on my pixel XL and Nexus 6p, and use basically none of the new features. So I could care less when it comes to this phone.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] jerflash:
they are bringing some pixel features to the phone like using the fingerprint sensor for the notification tray which is awesome. really hope they add double tap to wake. i think every phone with a back fingerprint sensor should have this. If they add these things i would really think about picking one up again
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
Yup each to their own. I never use either of those features in my pixel XL.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] xxBrun0xx:
They already implemented fingerprint notification shade. Check patch notes on the 10/30 update.

Double tap to wake and an ambient display similar to OnePlus would be ideal. Actually oxygen os would be ideal.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] jerflash:
Oh nice thanks
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] mragreeable:
Here's the short version:

- FRD-L14

- EMUI 5.0, but apparently a broken version somehow. The Build number says "NRD90M test-keys". Android 7.0.

- Unlocked bootloader

- FRP locked, which is apparently stopping me from re-flashing TWRP. EMUI seems to have overwritten TWRP.

The version of EMUI 5 I have is a bit messed up - possibly I did something wrong installing it, but I can't try again because of the FRP thing. I've tried various FRP techniques I found online but none work. I can't relock the bootloader either, and the EMUI recovery thing fails to recover the phone. Factory reset even fails.

Does anyone know how to unlock FRP? "OEM unlocking" in developer tools is disabled. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] mragreeable:
Ok, I got this working. Here's what I found:

Cause

I flashed the B360 update.zip via TWRP, but did not apply the update_data_full zip file. Further compounding the problem, EMUI overwrote TWRP with its own recovery and when I signed into my google account it activated the Factory Reset Protection lock, so I could no longer flash TWRP.

And since I didn't apply the regional update, I had no update software and the EMUI recovery did not recognize the phone as being upgradable to any known ROM. (I used Firmware Finder and tried every single update.zip and update_data zip file.) Without TWRP I couldn't take matters into my hands apply an update myself.

Solution

The fix, finally, was to downgrade to EMUI 4 by using Huawei's downgrade package and then flashing an appropriate ROM:

Download this and follow the instructions:

http://www.hihonor.com/us/support/details/index.html?DOC_ID=92098

Then use the update.zip referenced in this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/honor-8/how-to/frd-l14-users-how-to-restore-downgrade-t3537433

For the latter, I had to unzip the contents of the zip file to the "dload" directory in the device's internal storage, the power off and restart while holding volume up/down.

Then finally, I was able to clear FRP upon starting the phone, and use the OTA upgrader to get to a properly installed EMUI 5.0 build. Thanks to the huaweimate team on telegram for their assistance.

[Pixel C Themes and Apps] suspenders715:
So I was playing around trying out some stuff to see if an app would work in Android auto, and I came across an interesting discovery. I was able to get the Pixel phone style home button and home button animation on my Pixel C. All I did was side load Android auto and then open and close the app and then the new button style and animation showed up. I tested on a Nexus 6p with no success so my guess is this is built into the code of the Pixel C, now I'm wondering, can someone who knows more about coding than me build an app that starts this on bootup?
[Pixel C Themes and Apps] HolyChickenGuy:
ok this might be a extremely late response but i might have a cool work around on getting this to work on boot,

You can install a application called macrodroid in the playstore

what you do is make a new macro and select the trigger device boot" or something simmilar

Then as action select the launch app and select the android auto apk, then select wait and put it on something like 1.5 seconds and then select close

save the macro

reboot

wait a couple seconds after unlocking the device and it should load and close

its kinda stupid you have to wait but you'll get something cool back for it
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] FMXP:
There have been complaints about the LG POLED screens regarding screen uniformity. Hopefully Google gets the better quality panels than what LG uses on their own devices. I know that if I receive my phone and the screen looks like this, it's going back in the mail to be returned to Google the same day. I hope they don't screw this up, the Pixel 2 XL is such an expensive device that selling people screens like that on a $1,000 phone will not acceptable to a lot of buyers.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] obsanity:
I somewhat am afraid of this also. I don't mind that LG is making this panel but I do mind if it looks like this.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] whodatfan:
It will definitely be tested ASAP. If the panels reveal the same issues, we will know about it with the quickness.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] BoboBrazil:
It's going to have the same issues because it's the same screen. Don't expect otherwise.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Ricey:
I wonder if it's the same screen. The V30 display is HDR, 109% DCI-P3, 148% sRGB. The Pixel 2 XL has no mention of HDR and 100% DCI-P3.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] BoboBrazil:
It's gonna be the same. They aren't manufacturing different panels for the v30 and xl2.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Born<ICs:
Just in case, what is the out of the box test procedure to fully inspect screen for quality or defects?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] scandalousk:
How many complaints have there been? I've only seen the screenshot posted in the OP, which was posted by ARS technica if I'm not mistaken. I also remember David over at Androidpolice mentioning it when the brightness is set to minimum on one Pixel 2 XL unit. Unless we start getting reviews this isn't a widespread issue. Only two units have been confirmed so far, so no need to worry.

Not to mention, LG isn't the only one that has this issue, some s7 and s8 phones have this issue too:

Anyone go to Verizon store to check the phone out?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] FMXP:
I wonder this myself. I guess I can stop by Verizon after work tomorrow and have a look. It's hard to see uniformity problems in the brightly-lit store environment though, these sorts of issues are best seen in darkness or a dimly lit room.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bartolo5:
I went out to the Verizon store today and was profoundly underwhelmed by the XL 2 display.

First, it had a huge black band in the middle. Apparently it's not the only unit with this problem, someone on reddit posted the same issue I saw on my demo unit (https://imgur.com/a/CbfIH)

Second, colors were very dull and the whole screen had a hideous blue tint. I was instantly turned off by it. I've seen many many many displays through the years. Many phones have just fine displays, other's great (og Pixel XL, Galaxy S8...), but this Pixel XL 2 I saw was simply bad. Real bad for a $800+ device. I'm sort of hoping it was just this unit, but I've seen many reports already in reddit that are complaining about the same thing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Semantics:
I'm pretty sure LG isn't reserving the "good" panels for the Pixel 2/XL. They are both getting the same screen. POLED screens from earlier LG phones have had the same issues. If it's something you obsess over, you will see it. If you don't go hunting for it, you won't.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] stinger4321:
But to have this issue on a 1k$ phone... Unacceptable
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Born<ICs:
Questionable screen is a show stopper for me. The xl screen is great. Thought I had a dead spot but reboot fixed. I liked 6p screen size. While a big phone much easier for old eyes. Thought $410 trade was good reason to switch to 2 xl same size as 6p but having second thoughts now.

Would like to hear more about the plastic oled tech. Anyone have link to a good lg thread on the screen?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jtwlbz:
Just checked xl2 out at verizon. My impression is that it feels good in hand. Buttons tactile dont like volume buttons are one unit tho. I like the texure of the body. Screen looks fine but the color seems too much black. Too much black in all color. I still see this oled color shifting in some viewing angle. Stereo speakers seems not that loud not much bass either.

Oh the vibration feels good like samsung kinda.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Semantics:
I don't disagree. So is having 4GB of RAM on a 1k phone. It's the technology they chose to have the squeeze gimmick. It's not like LG is reserving the good POLED screens for the Pixel 2 was my main point. It's also really hard to notice unless the screen is dimmed in my experience. Not making excuses, though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AndrasLOHF:
The possible screen "issue" is when the phone brightness is turned all the way down correct? If so...non issue for me. I can probably count the length of the minutes on one hand of the time I've had the brightness turned all the way down the past few years.

For the 2, what is on by default? Vivid mode or sRGB? Do you notice a big difference?

I've been using sRGB on for the last day. Takes getting used to...but feels natural after a while...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mrhumble1:
THIS. SO MUCH THIS.

I am not worried at all. None of the reviews say the screen is a train wreck, and those guys review phones for a living and see all kinds of devices. Besides, we'll be able to mess with calibration and other screen settings as much as we want once the phone is rooted and ROM'd. That's the whole point of getting a Nexus (er, Pixel) device. ;)

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] onishchuk4:
Come on guys, can one of you verify whether or not sRGB is on and maybe take some pics with it on and off? When I went to the VZ store on Saturday, I too noticed that the colors weren't as vibrant as they are on my og XL, particularly the reds - which looked more like maroon/brown. Didn't bother to check whether or not sRGB was on, etc.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dbrohrer:
I don't disagree with you. However it seems wrong to spend nearly $1k on a phone that you HAVE to tweak and modify to get it where it should be. If this was a $500 nexus (like the 6P), sure.

I saw the phones in store. I saw the blue tint at various angles. I saw some banding. Was it bad? No. Would my iPhone using wife notice it if I didn't point it out to her? No. Should I pay more money for something that looks cool from 10 feet away, but worse from 10 inches? Umm no. I guess I'm going with the regular Pixel 2 this year.
