As someone who also replies on data a lot, I will tell others that the backup and restore from Google account is pretty limited. Even the direct transfer from phone to phone--while better than before--is also limited. Most of this is APK downloads. There isn't any app data.

Nova has its own backup and restore. So, you should be able to use that to get those restored.

I tried to do the adb restore, but kept running into permission errors to write to /data/data/. How did you get past that? There's only one app for which I *need* to restore app data to start using my Pix 2 more regularly. There are more I will do after root is figured out, but I'd love to know how you got permission to restore app data with adb. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] beerbaronstatic:
Never had those issues. Just did adb backup -f whatever.ab package.name and then adb restore whatever.ab. Had less luck when I tried to include the apk so I just downloaded the app from the play store and used this to restore data. I know Nova can restore on it's own was just starting Google's data transfer tool didn't do it

If you’re thinking about the iPhone X and Pixel 2, I have both and the Note 8. Here’s a camera comparison at low light, plus views on portraits from both. This is not a video. It’s an article with the full resolution photos uploaded into it.

Long and short. The Pixel 2 Camera kills the iPhone X in this scenario. But do you agree with me?
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] NightOrchid:
Hey Folks

I just wanted to share this with everyone...

I'm running OS. v. 4.101.. (Aug 2017)

I love this phone, its awesome, great Audio.. really fast, no stutter or lag.... 32Gb Internal w/SDCard, although I think the screen on the original XAU was a LITTLE brighter and more vivid..

Like some folk here.. I started out having Camera Shake / Blurry Images when taking a shot in Manual Mode and Ive been having the same red, purple noisy tint in very Low Light in Manual Mode that some have also posted about, but it can be a struggle to take steady shots in Manual Mode in daylight as well.. However, thanks to the Newer updated imaging algorithm found in the XZ1 and XZP which from what Ive read, SONY have used in our XA1U... it functions really great in Auto Mode, so SONY phones can now be used as great Point and Shoots.. and we no longer have to struggle anymore with ISO 50 or 100, WB and Metering.

But in Manual Mode, Ive found that by permanently keeping the camera at 12MPX (both Auto and Manual Modes)... gives great steadier shots... 20 and 23MPx modes, for me, give Blurred and poor image quality, kinda like camera shake. .. But as everyone knows MPx don't mean squat in "true" photography, only on YouTube and less MPx means less processing, so steadier image. Used to be the same in the older "Z" series where 8MPx was the magic number..

Also, in Manual Mode.. goto settings and set the Metering to "Centre" weighted, so your light metre is set to your point of focus and when you half-press the shutter to focus.. don't hold the focus for too long as it can shift, like most cameras will.

Give it a try and Lets know if it works for you.
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Guides, News, & Discussion] user95:
Thanks for the suggestion. While I didn’t change all the settings you recommended, simply bumping the resolution down to 12 megapixels has improved many things, including shutter lag and processing speed. I noticed when using manual, taking photos from a moving car resulted in unusable images with ghosting or extreme shutter lag. It was very frustrating for a while there. 12 mp is slightly less sharp but also less noisy... I can live with it.

I’ve been a Sony Xperia user for a while now and I’ve always had mixed feelings about their smart phone Cameras. Megapixels are always high, with several innovative camera features and ‘firsts’, but image quality has never lived up to other brands.

I have taken amazing shots with these, but those are almost always outdoors and in sunlight.

The camera on results on the XA1 are essentially the same as I’ve gotten on all the Z series phones (Go figure, since it’s the Z5 camera sensor).

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ibuprophen:
There is talk on a few other forums regarding this question for Unlocking the Bootloader on a G900V with CID 11 also with KitKat installed but, there's no Guides/Tutorials on how to do this.

The following thread is one of the more prominent threads i, personally, monitor from time to time.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3561529

Based upon what I've seen within the XDA Forum, as well as a few other Forums, the final verdict is (basically the bottom line)...

It's a work in progress with some promising chatter and ideas but, nothing solid has been announced or mentioned.

Those with the G900V and CID 11 are still only able to Root the device and unable to unlock it yet.

Keep in mind that this looks like it's still something that is continuing to be discussed and as long as there's still a want/need for it, only time will tell.

I hope i had explained this okay... :)

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] BumpinPanda:
I rooted last night using SamPwn and everything was working well until today... After one of the reboots I did today my phone stopped showing service, my sim card, network operators, and it wont hold an apn.

I have tried power cycling, removing the sim, resetting network settings, and wiping all cache.

Is there any way to only reflash the network portion? I have rooted and flashed quite a few things but havent bothered going into the intricacies and I feel as though this phone has less wiggle room for error. Hopefully you guys can get me a swift answer.

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] IJoxer:
Searching the SamPWND thread should net you a literal ton of solutions, but I'll try to sum it up for you.

Extract the stock firmware for whatever version you're running (QGL,QH3, ETC), and be sure to use 7zip for all of these extraction/archiving steps, then extract the modem.bin from the CP file and NON_HLOS.bin from the BL file. Now, highlight modem and non_hlos files and use 7zip to add to archive, you'll want to keep everything default, and the end result should be a tar file with whatever name you chose for the archive. Use Odin to flash this archive in the AP slot, it should work fine, but if not, you can try using the modified Odin (all default options for both). Once done, be sure to reboot to recovery and clear the cache and also a Network factory reset from settings if you're still unable to gain signal. If you're still not getting signal, you can try flashing the entire CP file and Home_CSC file (be sure to use the HOME_CSC, as regular CSC will overwrite root and start you over from scratch) using their respective slots in odin, though if modem and non_hlos doesn't get it up and running, that may be a redundant step.

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] 012345678:
instead you can flash combination file COMBINATION_FA70_G955USQU1AQD8 , just google for it. that will help to get Network Signal again
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] BumpinPanda:
Thank you for this. I did a few queries in there and didn't come up with much but that could be due to my lack of optimized searching.

I ended up reflashing the csc and it wiped all my data but restored my data. I was at work when this happened and, being that I work in a Verizon, I need my phone quite a lot. I have since backed up my EFS and noted the suggestions in this thread so it will not happen again.

Once again I appreciate the help and I am sure it will save me in the near future!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] BumpinPanda:
I will try this next time this happens, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] IJoxer:
Just note that the combination firmware he referenced is a universal firmware, and if you use a vzw firmware (ie QGL), it tends to cause issues with data/connectivity. Mixing carrier firmware and universal firmware has always cause me to start fresh, after 20+ roots using SamPWND, we finally came to that consensus.

Just something to keep in mind, 955U1 and 955U do not mix, regardless of version.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] BumpinPanda:
Funnily enough, besides this issue, my service improved over stock with the root.

But even if that's the case doesn't the U1 simply signify an unlocked firmware version? Why does that cause an issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] IJoxer:
Well, technically, it stands for a universal firmware, but I knew what you meant. 955U firmware is carrier specific, while U1 is Universal, as in it should apply to whichever carrier you have, so long as your sim card is in working order and tells the firmware which CSC to use correctly.

For whatever reason, when rooted and flashing the U1 firmware, the csc doesn't quite stick as it should, at least in my observations. Obviously flashing the modem and non_hlos is supposed to cure this issue (no data/connectivity/modem crashes), but I find it doesn't do much but change it in prop settings. My theory is that it's something to do with the efs partition superceding the csc flashed to system after using Ufirmware for root.

Regardless, I'm still trying to find a way to alleviate this issue, but it's a known bug that should be noted when rooting and using a mixture of U and U1 firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] BumpinPanda:
Are you staying on root or stock? The root has helped my data issue slightly over stock and apparently the update for the stock firmware to fix my issue is in the works (but not yet released).

If you do find a stable solution let me know, it's working for now but I still drop to 1x frequently (which happened before root as well).

Thanks again for your help
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] IJoxer:
Root does seem to help if, like I said, you don't mix and match firmwares, I'm on stock at the moment but will be rerooting tonight. There is a new carrier firmware for vzw and TMO, I'll be using vzw to accomplish the second part of the root method and updating to it (QI6). I'll update with how it goes later tonight or tomorrow, but here the link for the newest vzw firmware.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] BumpinPanda:
Ah, I see. Root helped even though I used the universal firmware in the SamPWND thread (that could just be an individual issue regarding my area/device).

I'd love to see the results of the new firmware so I am looking forward to your update! Was that the main reason you chose to remove root? That and the 80% situation are the only things bothering me so far. Appreciate the link, you saved me a search :D

The global trouble with all nougat firmware

Hi guys. I amn't alone, I met 10-15 users at 4pda with such problem.

We have the bug at all nougat roms by any devs with different trees...

The sleep of death.

Personally I notice it after/during mobile internet using, but I'm not sure. For long time at home(for a week, for example) with WiFi I have no troubles. But if I am anywhere without WiFi and use 3g(don't have LTE in my country), my phone "sleeps" for some times during just one day... It isn't powered off as it's needed 10-15 seconds of button pressing to turn it on at least.

As the ROM and developer has no meaning I guess that here are the errors in the kernel. [MENTION=8573245]fir3walk[/MENTION] says that here are many bugs in our nougat tree and perhaps the trouble is involved in last_dmesg... Or some system force stopes, dozes work improperly.

Not many users have this trouble but it exists an a fact. So it would be great to detect an error and try to fix it. Perhaps not in nougat, at least in new Oreo(I haven't tried it yet so no information about this bug there). We have many ROMs, they are updated for some times a week, new roms are rolling out... But the bug stays still.

If someone else has such problem, write here. Perhaps somebody has any ideas and together we will be able to find solution...

So, all the devs who can detect an error, write us... Any tests, information, logs, etc.

P.S. By the way it is impossible to write logs of powering off(deep sleeping) via logcat or another's. If I run the logging I have no "sleepOFdeath".

It is really global trouble so let's try to fix it together.

I was excited for the Pixel 2's, but all the screen problems have me worried. I think I've narrowed down my choices to:

Pixel 2

Moto Z2 Force

S8

Essential Phone, with the Price Drop

So I'm wondering which do you think I should get? This is on Verizon btw. I'm really torn and love my G3 so I'm really hesitant to get fully convinced to buy one.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] TheDethEgineer:
Pixel 2: Better camera, fastest android update and "exclusive" features. Many of which you can install apps to get those feautures and eventually google will make them public, just like the assistant last year.

Moto Z force: Smaller battery than the Essential but you have many mods available.

S8: Samsung bloat is just horrible.

Essential: Hardware and build quality is great but we have very limited accesories. Stock android out of the box is amazing, no need of custom roms at the moment.
