Mine will be out shortly. Will probably be the best on the market. Spent at least 8 hard months on designing it. GoSmart-Pro smartphone holder. Best way to use it will be with a UAG case which you will have to order separately by yourself. This smartphone holder allows your smartphone to be positioned in the middle of where your finger can touch while both hand are on steering wheel. That makes it the perfect smartphone holder. Magnetic holder tested to 1.8 kg of weight so smartphone will not fall off while driving. Adjustable arm allows for any depth of dashboard. For example the dashboard depth of a Toyota Prius is much deeper compared to that of a BMW 240i but with my arm you can use it on any car or truck. The arm is also not made out of plastic making it vibration free. The other advantage is that the arm can be adjust into various angles which allows you to use the dashboard as a base half way thru on deeper dashboards for more stability.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] desiregeek:
You could put it in a case when in the car and take it off after. Cases are actually good and protect your smartphone in case of a drop. I like the UAG cases. If you place the magnetic shield on the outside (back side of UAG cover) then magnetic holder does not affect GPS. I tested this on my iPhone 6 S as well Plus with no problems. With no case and directly mounted onto phone the magnet does affect it a bit I found but with a good case you are good. There are positives and negatives to everything. I found this to be one of the better ways to mount smartphone.

That's pretty cool that you're creating something! I imagine most universal mount fits universally, so you might not need a pic in every possible vehicle. And call me crazy, but that lighting almost makes your Pixel look like an iPhone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] desiregeek:
I have a Pixel and an iPhone. Wanted to develop a car smartphone holder that fit the most popular and best selling cars in America. Many smartphone holders on the market but not many good ones that allow any smartphone holder to be within fingertip reach of steering wheel allowing you to keep both hands on steering wheel at all times.

I have one with a magnet currently but I want to go case less for the time being... Really not sure what I can do to get the metalmplate on the phone without damaging the phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] boneriffic:
I take it your existing magnet mount does not hold the Pixel 2 XL without adding your metal plate? I noticed magnets do stick to mine when I was seeing if the Hall sensor did anything fun (it doesn't seem to).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] desiregeek:
Best way is to still put it on back outside (back part) of smartphone case. When you exit car you can always take case off if you want although when you exit car is when you will most need case because if you drop it the broken screen will cost a lot more then the case you bought will. Good thing about cases is you can easily take them off when you do not need them just like clothes :)

I use their custom charging holder for the Pixel (1) XL. It came with a C-to-A cable. I just took that out and replaced it with a C-to-C cable that plugs into a car charger that charges rapidly. I hope their custom holder for the Pixel 2 XL will be similar in that I can pull out the cable that comes with it and use my own.

That works well to hold a smartphone but most CD players are not in the best position to hold smartphones. Were one to use Google Maps while driving and need to look at smartphone one would have to look down and right distracting driver from looking ahead. When car manufacturers came up with Head-Up Display it was meant to keep drivers from looking down at speedometer while driving for less distraction from focusing on what is ahead of them.. optimal height is steering wheel or above which is what I took into consideration when developing my smartphone holder. You do not need to look down as much as you do on a CD smartphone holder. Today also not all cars and trucks have CD players in optimal height and side positions
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
It all depends on the car. Mine is in a perfect spot and I use it as a radio head replacement. It's no different then glancing at your radio and looks very clean.

This is the same angle one has to look at as one has to towards CD player. You can not get one eye to look down and over because it is too far off from what other eye is viewing but if it is next to steering wheel (Between 1 to 2 O'clock if one right hand side and between 10 to 11 O'Clock on clock if on left side) and you are looking straight ahead you can view smartphone with one eye and keep other eye on road if you were using navigation. Glancing down and up can be 2-3 seconds and 2-3 seconds is a lot when driving 40-80 MPH.

While driving this is roughly what your visual area is. Anything out of this area you have to make adjustments for which is distraction.

[IMG="Distraction"]http://www.hemianopsia.net/storage/Driving-Issues3.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1254632677199[/IMG]

If smartphone is to the left of his left hand or right of his right hand as in image below then there is minimal distraction. Not saying there is no distraction but one can still keep an eye on the road ahead and see smartphone navigation without needing to glance down. Glancing away is what causes most accidents and deaths on the road.

Hi guys.

I have a car mount in mind and I'm wondering if anyone is using this:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076B27WP...6Z&pd_rd_r=3FGAAWA9C1608M5S4FPT&pd_rd_w=jKXfJ

Other models of Iottie has been mentioned, but not this. My main concern is, after mounting it, will it cover the volume buttons?

I am surprised nobody brought this up.

As for active edge, I have decreased the sensitivity and it works okay with my current Samsung mount, so it would be fine.

The reason why I planning to ditch my Samsung mount it because it's side arms curve inwards, giving me problems to tap on the edge of the screen. Yea.. I used S7e and S8 prior to this and it was worse due to the curved screen.

Prefer one handed mounted operation and no magnet solutions. If you have something in mind, please share.

Cheers!

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Did your end up getting it? I got the CD slot one as a secret Santa gift. Much needed cause my old one was all cracked up in the joint.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] MasK:
Yup I did. My model (with suction) comes with 2 support sticks at the bottom to keep the phone from falling before/after clamping in. These 2 sticks at times do not exactly end up at the center of the phone. This makes it difficult to plug in USB-C. I'll have waste time to re-adjust it.

Now that you posted your pic, it reminded me that perhaps I can make do without these sticks at the bottom. I opened the unit up and removed the sticks. So much freedom now! I think the clamp is strong enough to hold the device.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah it holds just fine in landscape or portrait without support in that area.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
i prefer a windshield mount and have tried so many. this cheap one has been the best for me with the Pixel XL and now the 2 XL. I like it because you can position the grip between the volume rocker and power button so there's no accidental presses. the ledge at the bottom folds in so the length of the phone doesn't matter (we used it with my wife's 5x and now pixel 2 without issues,) and it doesn't activate the assistant when you tighten the clamps down. it's sturdy and doesn't bounce around at all, which was really hard for me to find. we've got one in both of our cars at this point and at over a year and a half it's still going strong.

Standard mount with Tasker work around

Because of the placement of the volume buttons being right in the middle of the phone, I created a tasker profile to disable the volume buttons when connected to power, which allows me to use it in a standard mount. Nice little workaround

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] chr2002:
Hello,

Is it possible to downgrade from Nougat back to Marshmellow without triggering Knox ?

I upgraded my S7 via OTA Update. Now i have big trouble with the GPS indoors while playing Pokemon Go. The location via wifi seems messed up in 7.0. On 6.0.1 i never had problems.

Can i just flash the latest 6.0.1 (G930FDBT1BPH2) via Odin ? Or can there be a problem with the Bootloader which could be upgraded during the 7.0 Update ?

Does this procedure trigger Knox ? I want to keep the phone on Stock Firmware without rooting oder custom Firmware.

I downloaded the 6.0.1 from updateo with the following files :

AP_G930FXXU1BPLB_CL9689434_QB11912457_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5

HOME_CSC_DBT_G930FDBT1BPH2_CL8887037_QB10698583_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5

Can i just fire up Odin and put these files according the first letters in the fields ?

Greetings,

Chris
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Yea just flash with ODIN

CSC = Reset (You'll need to choose this one to downgrade as 7.0 apps are not compatible with 6.0)

HOME_CSC = No reset

Only flashing custom will trip knox, flashing stock with ODIN will not trip it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] chr2002:
Thank you :)

Just for my safety ;)

I need the first 4 files. Put em into the 4 fields in Odin 3.11.1 including BL - Bootloader (This part ist the most fear for me ;) ) and flash them with "F-Reset Time" and "Auto Reboot" selected ?

After rebooting the phone a Full wipe is a good thing, i think.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Use ODIN 3.12.3 or newer, that version is too old

3.12.7

https://mega.nz/#!jUgRiTSa!fnAVwr7yFi4dlPk4V0oQ5DuoFe3iiG0jH-ws91IHOPc

Flash AP, BL, CP and CSC

The phone will automatically factory reset after the flash so no need to wipe again

DO NOT change anything in ODIN, leave everything as it is

Hello I am very new to this and like to know if i can downgrade too from android 7 if there is a security path already applied to the phone? Can I also just flash it with Odin stock rom?

Do I need the exact build number or just model number? And does model number needs to be the same so I got SM g930v? Can I flash from different country that is not G930V but G930F

And would the PDA number also need to match? Thanks for helping!

Hi all,

I was wondering if someone has managed how to gain control of the led notification.

I know it's not very bright or useful, but I kinda like to give the phone a glance and see if the led is on and what colour...

I'm trying setting up "Light flow" (with root access of course), but it doesn't work properly. Sometimes it work but most of the times it seems just "not triggered" by the app or "not giving a ****" about the colour I chose (and I went for colors I know they exists).

So if someone could show me the way to control the led... Light Flow or another app...

Maybe custom roms are the way?

don't know, thank you!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] saletan:
I'm asking because my LG G5 main board has someway corroded and therefore I can't get it repaired under warranty. :(

and...

I found some really good prices of h918 model on the EBay :)

I've had so soo many issues with LG G5, burn in, screen discoloration, chin GAP at the bottom. Just to name a few.

My best bet is that LG G5 gap in bottom chin has caused to some moisture to go inside and corrode the main board. Price estimate for changing the main board and battery is 160€... Even though the problem is the screen and with the quality control in the factory! It has pretty major discoloration / burn in problem and battery life has gone to ****.

So here is a few questions I'd like to know about LG v20

1. How does the LG v20 screen compare to that of LG G5, Brightness? Any problems with screen discoloration or with screen burn in?

2. How does the speaker loudness and accuracy differ from G5?

3. Is v20 build quality better than G5's?

4. How does it feel in hand?

5. I can say that I'm an audiophile, are included earbuds how good? And does v20 have better/stronger headphone amplifier.

6. Is there noticeably better audio quality when listening with headphones?

Thanks:)!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] saletan:
Thanks! Much appreciated input!

That 260€ for LG v20 sounds a hugely better deal than to put 160€ for repair center to change main board and battery for LG G5 and that wouldn't even fix the undeniable quality control issues with the screen that I've experienced with two LG G5, first one passed RMA but they couldn't get screen part so I got a whole new LG G5. Only to experience the exactly same problems 2-4 months later.

Are LG v20 screens better in terms of quality control? Hell even my old Samsung Galaxy S5 that I gave to my brother when I got G5 that is almost 3 years old with quite a lot of screen on time haven't had a single issues with screen. That's even under quite rough conditions.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] [M]otortrend:
Can't really say much about the reliability of the V20, since I've only had mine for around half a year. And I just bricked it over the weekend (deleted /system). You'll probably find out more through a Google search, but I haven't heard much about V20 reliability issues.

Are you buying the H918 T-mobile exclusive, or unlocked? Also, brand new or used? I'd say 260 euro is too expensive for T-mobile exclusive, brand new or not. Unlocked would be a great deal brand new.

S does not mean US or any other variant specific build... there are literally different builds for different variants. My US Retail version is NPN25.173-83

In previous Moto models, the S meant it had been upgraded from an OTA, but in looking in my current device it has received several OTAs and does not have the S, so either that has been depreciated or our original assumptions in earlier models was incorrect.

Either way, the fact the S is there does not mean US (or any other country), just a slightly different build... I don't have an answer of why you can't go back though.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Generally, OTA updates can be received with a locked or unlocked bootloader. Only requirement is to have a stock and unmodified system.

However, I personally would caution against downgrading from NPNS firmware to NPN, as you run a risk of hard bricking if you take OTA updates after you've downgraded. As acejavelin has mentioned, the NPNS firmware should reflect OTA/security updates (but seems that Motorola's naming convention is a bit inconsistent), which means your bootloader is likely updated by the firmware. If you've flashed a NPNS firmware, you'd likely be at least on the may security patch. The Indian firmware you'd need is the January patch (NPN25.137-15, as I don't think the NPN25.137-67 or 67-5 firmwares have been leaked). Thus, downgrading to an earlier firmware might give you problems if you then use OTA updates to update. We've already seen a similar situation in the Moto G5 plus unbrick thread.

Instead of reflashing the Indian stock ROM and risking a hard brick, you may wish to look into using the TWRP flashable images which only touch the system.
