[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] JCBomb:
The $200 credit is for people who bought before 22nd of october.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Zorachus:
Ok, so want a new phone coming from my current Nexus 6P, which I love, but battery issues, and the speakers have gotten bad, so need a new phone in the next month or so. I originally liked the Pixel 2 XL, but for $950 for the 128GB version, I find that outrageous, especially with the poor bad displays most are shipping with, and news today they are failing Quality Control tests from Google too now. I paid $499 for my 64GB Nexus 6P brand new from Google, to me the Pixel 2 XL is what a Nexus 8P could have been, and would have priced like $599 or so. Out of principle I won't give Google the cash for a Pixel. But let's not go there with this discussion.

- Essential @ $499 ( root and ROM's supposedly should start coming in November )

- OnePlus 5T @ ? $550 ? ( 6" display, fingerprint scanner on the rear, 18:9 aspect ratio. Officially announcement due soon )

I want a stock Android type OS, with good battery life, that will get me 6h Screen On time or more. I want a bright display, and smooth OS. I always root my phones, and maybe a custom ROM too. And I want the price under $600. So Essential or OnePlus 5T ?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] isopure:
Since you're in the Essential forum, I say go with the PH-1.

So those of us receiving the $200, we all buying another new PH-1s for $300?!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] parusia:
That is the plan, I will buying another one and sell it on swappa for$435.00 unopened.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] musashiken:
I'm also thinking the same question. I'm going to wait for the OnePlus 5t to be announced first before I make a decision.

Some things to consider, usable screen on the essential phone will be less than the n6p due to the camera notch, because of black bars. Developer scene for the OnePlus 5t should be more active.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] nrage23:
I ordered one yesterday morning. Hard to beat with the specs at $499.00. I would think the camera will still improve. Have gotten tired of my S8+ and do not want to shell out $1000 for any of the other new phones. Now if they would ship the damn thing.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
Don't worry about it. When the original orders went out I was getting ticked off because everyone else was receiving their shipping notices and I heard nothing. I ended up getting the shipping notice the same day the phone arrived.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
I would buy another one immediately, if I could get the green color. :)
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] cap1tal1sm:
Hey guys,

On ebay there is a seller "sellingtech13" who is putting Essential Phones on bids for a couple hundred dollars -- anyone have experience buying from this seller? Are the phones safe and working? Here's the link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Essential-...703?hash=item56a3c87877:g:eek:04AAOSw6GJZ749T

Thinking of buying from him to get it even cheaper.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] nrage23:
I got an email this afternoon. Just leaving china and I will have it Friday morning. I guess I will unlock the bootloader before I set it up so when we get TWRP and root I will not have to start over.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] cheddaface:
So I got my white one from Amazon Tuesday and now this price drops 200 since I got it from Amazon will essential still give me credit? Or should I send back to Amazon buy another from Amazon and just have them credit me all my money back?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] isopure:
Should just request Amazon's customer support to refund you the difference unless they're unwilling to do that, which I've seen them do, then return it and buy it again.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] cheddaface:
Crazy now Amazon is sold out of the white ones Lmfao wow I wonder how long essential will take to ship
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] twflys:
I want the green one too... Took me so long to setup this one EXACTLY the way I want it. What is the best and easiest way to make an exact copy?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] JCBomb:
Pretty sure amazon will just give you the difference.

If not, just return it and rebuy.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] cheddaface:
Yea but now the white one is sold out and i waited to get this color I'm calling Amazon today will update
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] lyall29:
This is just an idea...By the time you pay the Swappa fee, PayPal fee, and shipping, you would probably be better off selling the code for $100-$120. Make the same amount of $ or a little more this way.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] cheddaface:
Update Amazon didn't want to price match it back but I talked to a manager and I ended up getting my refund because I've been an active member so long.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] lyall29:
Amazon has the white color again.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
Okay, so has anyone actually received a discount code yet? It seems like another case of Essential talking the talk, but dragging their feet. I love the phone, but the company as a whole really needs to improve on customer relations. I mean, how hard is it to upload factory images, or send out discount codes to people who are already in their database?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] isopure:
C'mon, it's barely been 4 days. They stated you will receive it within 15 days after submission.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
I know, but I bet any other company would be able to generate a code and have it to the customer within 24hrs. and they'd have more phones sold.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] johnmoon:
You are correct on this one, they can easily do this especially for those of you bought from essential directly.

I mean there was a speculation of the phone got sold merely over 5000 units.

If they really sold 5000 or even 10000, this shouldn't be too hard to come up with the list who bought / kept from the site directly.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] isopure:
I just got my code.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] jgracz01:
got my code too. people are so impatient lol
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] garrett08:
Just got my code this morning. Ordered a 360 Camera on it's own and paid exactly $0 out of pocket for it! :good:
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] going_home:
Woke to a discount code in my inbox this morning.

Immediately bought a white phone.

Waiting for the new one so I can send the original back for speaker grill repair.

They already sent me a shipping label and said it was fine for me to wait for the discount code and new phone to ship it back.

The instructions said to factory data reset the phone before shipping it....
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] spotmark:
Yep, got my code as well. Ordered up a white one for the wife.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] htcnerd1218:
I did the samething. Have you gotten your shipping code yet? Waiting on mine day 3.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] garrett08:
Nah friend - still waiting. Trying to have some patience since it's a startup and all...but growing tired. Ordered mine on Oct. 28th.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Flippy498:
The thread got cleaned due to breaches of the forum rules. As already mentioned here and here, you can use this thread if you want to share codes. As first mentioned here (and additionally in all other linked posts), selling them is not allowed on xda.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] purplepenguin:
Finally I've got everything installed and set up and logged in, etc, after reviving from brick. But then I just realized... This is a 128GB phone and things are saying I'm low on space (kinda)...

Anyone have any idea what can cause this or how to fix? The only thing in my mind that might be relevant is that the Data partition is in F2FS when before my huge issue I had it in EXT4? The OP level 2 support guy used a 7.1.1 factory image to revive my device. Can this matter?

Settings/Storage it's showing SYSTEM is taking up 89GB?!?!?!

Mixplorer says all of Internal Storage is only using 1.62GB or so

Desktop shows the phone as having 24.8GB storage in TOTAL with 6.9GB used

I don't know how to interpret these screenshots at all or what to do about it...

:confused:

Edit: A full TWRP backup of every partition checked in the options is 7.75GB in total (as displayed in Windows), system image & all!

Edit2: Also in TWRP, there is no option for resizing the Data partition (which is f2fs, every other partition is EXT4) ...
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] purplepenguin:
If no one has any ideas... This is the only thing that seems like it makes sense to try doing to switch data from f2fs to ext4 and hopefully not have to clean flash? https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...-without-losing-internal-storage-data.439999/

But if that doesn't work, and a regular clean flash doesn't work, that's what I'm most concerned about before even messing with it... :eek: :rolleyes: JUST got it all set up perfectly after reviving from bricked state... :(
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Immortalis:
Switch to ext4, as its the most common Linux' file system. f2fs seems to be the culprit. And you'd better done a clean flash.

Erase userdata partition from fastboot and then format it (also via fastboot). Should work.

Don't forget to make a backup of you existing data (including internal).
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] thes3usa:
As warned by many, F2FS is unstable and causes many errors. Try switching to Ext4, via ADB. This ought to give you the corrected partitions.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] Jamie_Bowen:
Confirmed

Just posting to confirm the above messages.

i converted my system to ff2fs and my system was taking up a little over 40Gb.

Reverting back to ext4 sorted it

[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] deuce300:
I am running rooted Swift and Fast B170 ROM on one XT and stock B180 on another and have yet to find a way to disable this seemingly system based notification. On my rooted device I tried to install Xposed but ran into a boot loop issue after installing the framework so I am inclined to think that isn't a possible route to a solution. The OS notification center is pretty useless in managing app notifications and the battery notification doesn't seem to be tied to a specific app anyway.

Does anyone have any ideas how to disable the notification?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] deuce300:
So I ended up disabling the System UI notifications all together. And that works but I'm pretty sure its going to disable other important notifications controlled by System UI. If anyone has any true solutions let me know.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Xposed can be installed on the Ascend XT. Search for my Xposed thread. I'm using Magisk Systemless Xposed v87.1.

Why not just swipe away the battery full notification. Yes, you've probably killed other things too by disabling SystemUI.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] mattzeller:
Have you tried using an Xposed module to remove it, I recall using one to do that to remove the same notification on my S4.

Because it's a nuisance, and I've notice with some games that notification (w/sound) will kill all in game sounds until the game is restarted. But that's just my 2¢
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] deuce300:
yes it can pop up at the most inopportune time and its honestly a useless notification in the bar that is distracting. notifications shouldnt be in the bar that i should ignore.

[MENTION=5089224]mattzeller[/MENTION] and like i said before i tried installing Xposed before i believe the regular installer and that went fine but when i installed the framework and rebooted it kept boot looping at the android logo and i had to reflash the Swift and Fast ROM.

I plan on exploring the Xposed install that divineBliss mentioned I just need to backup my current ROM first and then double check all of the steps required. I hope it works. cause it really is a distracting notification.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] BurnedDrake:
Using systemless Xposed is a fairly straightforward process. This is the way I got it working on mine since Magisk wouldn't flash because of the modified boot.img and would only modify stock, you don't have to flash the ROM like I did, but I was doing cleanup and reflash anyway.

1. Download all required files and put them on your external SD card.

a. Swift&Fast: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=72258982

b. Magisk: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=68966662

2. Make sure you have the correct boot.img for the firmware version you are using, can't use B160 boot.img on B170 ROM, it causes wifi problems. I extracted boot.img from [MENTION=7934375]madvane20[/MENTION] 's Swift&Fast ROM since that's what I am running.

3. Do all necessary wipes and flash ROM, do NOT reboot yet.

4. Flash extracted boot.img (select img in TWRP to show *.img files) do NOT reboot yet.

5. Flash Magisk (I'm using current/stable)

6. Wipe caches and reboot.

7. Boot your phone, open Magisk Manager and go to Downloads and install Xposed Framework (SDK 23). I got an error here trying to download and install. I fixed it by adding the folder Magiskmanager to internal sdcard.

8. Download and install latest Xposed installer for systemless Xposed. The link for that is in the Magisk module information for Xposed.

9. Reboot (got a kitK Kat? It's gonna be a while) and everything should be working.

Occasionally after a reboot you can't open settings(Xposed issue), just reboot again, should clear that up.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] -n0cturne-:
Although I'm sure there's a way via xposed to disable the notification, I haven't found it yet. The xEMUI module has some nice tweaks, but nothing related to that.

Perhaps via appOpsXposed, or via stopReceiverBroadcasts... remove the ability for SystemUI to see the charging related events..?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] madvane20:
once i get over pneumonia ill fix my b180 rom. however b180 in general has bad battery drain for me on stock or my rom. will help what i can once i feel better
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] retyre:
Have you tried the NotifyClean module in Xposed?

Thanks -n0cturne- for the xEMUI tip. I have been dying to center the clock in EMUI w/o having to use FSBI. FSBI works really well, but slows everything down.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] BurnedDrake:
Notifyclean will do what you ask, I have tested it and once I blocked that specific notification, no longer pops up or chimes that the battery is full
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] -n0cturne-:
NotifyClean only lets you disable the tray notification, not the pop up dropzone notification. . Unless I'm missing something?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] BurnedDrake:
It gets rid of the notification in the notification area and blocks the pop-up that occurs when it's full. Just not the "you just plugged your phone in" pop-up

Hi everybody. I want to install one of these two app on my Eonon Android head unit. Correct me if i'm wrong, but i need to root the head unit no? I can't find any solution to root it...

Eonon GA2163 Root possibility - at your own risk

I see a lot of responses for Kingroot.apk (note: not Kingoroot) to root the Eonon GA2163. However, I also had no luck with this app. I installed a ROM V8.2.3_20170902.134531_KED1-mod that is already rooted. This ROM installs from the Car Settings option and needs no fancy work to install. Somewhere my MCU also changed (I'm not sure this ROM did it though). Root worked well. Lost my analog radio and my Aux.apk though...not a big deal for me. Search the web for the file. Also, I had to load CarLauncher as the original home screen was removed...also not a big deal. CarLauncher is much better.

Disclaimer: try at you own risk
[Android Head-Units] mvez73:
Sorry i didn't see your reply.... I will try to install this rom. Can you link me where i can find the two apk that are missing please? Thank you very much
[Android Head-Units] tboneplyr:

https://yadi.sk/d/rsB7L-EA3MqVkQ

Do not change the MCU as this will screw up the radio and the aux in.

Standard disclaimer applies - try at your own risk - it worked for me.

[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] iceepyon:
That is strange... Do you keep your device on 24/7? I'd recommend that you reboot it and see if this issue persists.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] k.sanyi92:
Go to Settings - Advanced Settings - Location services - 3 dot on the top right corner - Scan settings - Turn off the Bluetooth scanning.

It will solve the turning on of the bluetooth after the airplane mode. :)
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Zuzler:
I do, but since some xposed modules require rebooting after updates, it definitely does not improve with a reboot.

I am wondering if anyone knows of a simple photo editing app.

There are plenty that are very powerful, but I don't want to do that on my phone. I'd rather do it on a desktop. I am looking for something that I have had a need for plenty of times, take a picture and then highlight the issue that the picture is showing. For example, taking a picture and then being able to insert an arrow or draw a circle around something in the picture to highlight it. Even adding some text might be nice. Then I could quickly add what I need and forward it off to whomever I need to send it to.

Any ideas?
