[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] akenis:
Thanks. Weird that it doesn't show up in list of apps requiring updates. But if I search for it, there is an update available.

Still broke as afar as notification sound. It only uses default system notification sound. No custom ringtones either.

U-sound.html%3famp

This works to select message sound. Was able to set my default system sound back to none. But still no people and options for individual sounds.

There are several categories for notifications: see attach. No idea what recording, uncategorized and other are for. Might be source of double VM notification?

has anyone found a fix??
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wedgemoose:
Same here. Double voicemail notification sounds (i don't use GV). Happened to me since last update 8.1. Before that it was perfect

Wondering if there will ever be a fix. I just changed the sound to something different to see if that works. It doesn't. same thing

I want to backup and restore my kik messages on my new Pixel 2 XL
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ScottIsMyName:
You're going to need to give a few more details than that.....what you did exactly, what's "not working" mean, any error messages you get, etc...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] coldheater:
whenever I try to do a backup it says, Backup Error, an error occurred while performing your app backup. It just tells me to try again. I also cant restore any of my other apps that I used on previous devices like my pixel XL or S8+. Also, when I go to restore, the only option from the pull down menu says Pixel XL, it should show my other devices as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] mac796:
I don't know what Kik messages are but I use that SMS backup and restore it works really good and you can back it up to the cloud for messages and contacts and call logs. It's an app you can get in the Play Store

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] gman88667733:
Just received my Z Play (it feels so much better than I expected)

It came with 6.0.1 installed. Do I bother updating? Or should I stick to MM?

If I do update, should I wipe afterwards?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] sp5it:
You may lose volte after that.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] gman88667733:
What even is that?... I don't think I've ever used it.

Why would updating to nougat (officially) cause that?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Zeljko1234:
Google VoLTE (voice over LTE). You may use it without knowing it. You shouldn't lose, could​ be opposite..

Some people say that mm has better battery life. I don't know, I've upgraded on the very first day when I bought it. Phone will bother you to accept update anyway...
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] gman88667733:
I think I'll run it on MM for this weekend and see what battery life is like, then try 7.0 and then decide if I want to revert back or not.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Zeljko1234:
Forum is full of people who did that, downgraded, later accepted update and then permanently bricked​ device.

Moto has never been friendly for downgrading. Moto wants you do go only in one direction, up.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] sp5it:
You can't revert by yourself.

Also in 7.1.1 there is auto brightness lag and audio equaliser is not working (fixed in some channels, not reteu atm).

Motorola fu**ed up 7.1.1 upgrade, do not want to admit they did and I recommend to stay away until it will be fixed.

Only help you can get about those issues from Motorola are: "clear cache" and "factory reset"

Pathetic customer support.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] gman88667733:
Oh great...

Looks like I'm staying on 6.0.1 for now then.

How can I remove the update notification?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] sp5it:
Turn off auto updates in developer options. Should do the trick.

Mike
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] gman88667733:
I can't seem to find this option in Developer options?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] sp5it:
I'm a victim of 7.1.1 so I have it.

Looks like it not exist in 6.x so you have to refuse update every time your phone will be nagging.

Mike
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] gman88667733:
Is 7.1.1 really that bad? 6.0.1 seems great so far (only had the phone for around 4 hours though)
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Zeljko1234:
It's not that bad, just works :D
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] sp5it:
It is great phone, no doubt, but...

I bought it because VOLTE among others. It was working till I updated to 7.1.1 and it works no more.

In 7.1.1 equaliser is not working for reteu channel. No biggie for me, I use Poweramp.

Brightness lag is nasty bug. For example: I go from bright area to darkness, it is 8-9 seconds and phone is adjusting backlight. That should be immediately like in my other Android phones.

Hardware is fine, but software developer department sucks and they don't react.

Mike
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] gman88667733:
None of those things would both me really, but I'll stay on 6.0.1 for now
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Zeljko1234:
Well, brightness​ adjustment should have some delay. Maybe not 8-9 seconds but for sure should not jump up and down for every environment change.

As far I can see VoLTE works for me.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] sam00561:
Hi which rom are you on and which country network i have tried every single rom and cant get volte working. The volte provsioned toggle is greyed out for me on every rom and i was hoping i could use volte because on my previous phone i had it.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] gman88667733:
Is VOLTE noticeable? I've never been aware of it in action.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Zeljko1234:
Stock rom, locked bl, August security patch, retus didn't get latest patch yet.

As you can see, I was in roaming. Now in different country, again roaming and VoLTE is still provisioned.

VoLTE could depends of your mobile provider, sim card, roaming agreement and of course, phone. Looks like that phone is not problem.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] sam00561:
My network does support volte because my previous phone was a lenovo p2 also rooted and running a custom rom and i had no issues with volte. I just cant figure this out. I did read somewhere it may have something to do with baseband version but im not prepared to mess around with that.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Zeljko1234:
I would suggest you to test your sim with another phone or your phone with another sim. In both tests be sure that phone/sim supports VoLTE. You can check with you mobile network as well. Some users reported that they fixed with a new sim...
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] gman88667733:
More importantly, this battery life is insane!!!

70% remaining with 3hrs 20 mins of SOT. With mixed usage. My 6P got maybe 3 hours max.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] sp5it:
Yes, battery live is great. 3 daych from charge to charge for me.

My sim card in SGS7 works as VOLTE, tested. Even in 100$ Xiaomi mi4c, but not in that junk. I could fix that myself, but I don't want to root my phone yet.

Mike
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] gman88667733:
Do you own a SGS7? If so, do you use your Z Play instead of that?

Just wondering!!
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] sp5it:
I don't. Just tested my card into that.

Mike
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] gman88667733:
So how about this. If I update to nougat, is there a way for me to permanently go back to marshmallow if I don't like it? I won't then want to go back to nougat if I don't.

How about that?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] sp5it:
No way to go back.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Humpie:
Hi everyone!

After my first plugin I had an idea of creating another one, but this time not an "action" but an "event".

Of course the description can be found there, but as a quick recap, this plugin can listen for hotwords and signal Tasker when a hotword is recognized!

It uses Snowboy Hotword to listen to the mic and process what it hears super fast and completely locally.

Hotword models can be found and trained at the Snowboy Website and the downloaded model can be imported in my plugin.

Next from Tasker you can create an event of the Hotword Plugin and tap on the hotword you want to react to, next you can do with it what you want!

You can listen to multiple hotwords at the same time and run a different event for each one. So for example if you shout "lights on" the lights might turn on and if you shout "play music" the music starts playing.

You can see it as AutoVoice Continuous but a lot faster and more consistent, plus you can train any hotword you like and pronounce it in any language you prefer (to be defined at the website).

Of course you can modify the sensitivity if you feel like it can't hear you or if it goes off all the time and you can start or stop the service via a Tasker action if you like.

Personally I use the app in combination with my ADB shell plugin to launch assistant on my NVIDIA Shield AndroidTV handsfree by shouting "hey google" to an old android phone lying besides the tv.

Since a lot of time went into developing this plugin and making it work (a way lot more than my last plugin) I put it in the Play Store for the price of a small coffee.

So if you like the idea and want to try it out please have a look!

And if you have any questions, troubles, ideas, bugs (yes I'm sure they're there even after thoroughly testing), please leave them below!

3. Any You tube channels or vids?

4. Any etc....

In advance I want to say thanks.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertytical:
I upgraded my FTV 1 - rooted to the latest firmware 5.2.6.0 and after the setup was complete. I remember seeing the alexa option under the settings.

The menus would all display, except for the apps tab was all black. The device as not registered, so I registered the device, apps tab still was black, i then deleted the cache and data for the ApStore app - then the apps tab populated with data. Problem is - somewhere along those lines of steps, the Alexa option disappeared from my list of settings and the voice remote is no longer accepting voice commands when I hit the mic button. I even tried more than 1 remote - it was working before the upgrade. Its like something disabled Alexa - im not sure what.

On a dutch website the headline says

"HTC president promises new drivers for plaged devices"

In short english .... Driver was not implemented because HTC needed to pay for the driver. They tried to program it themselves but its seams they will now pay for the driver with Qualcomm :):) . The driver should be avaiable at the end of march ..... Its not yet know for what devices though.

Lets wait and see and hope :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tkalli:
Time will tell...:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ~~Tito~~:
We know. if you have been looking at htcclassaction.org then it shows that also. I think it was someone on here that got the email saying that and he told Chainfire.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] andaroo:

Do we think that the user is going to end up paying for the driver then?

Once I know they are really going to address this issue then I'll be happy to buy now and put up with the current poor display performance (which I observed first-hand in the store) until the drivers are released. Hopefully someone like chainfire will be able to confirm this for us soon.

Actually, there's a new ROM out today. I wonder if there's a surprise in it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PhilipL:
Hi

The problem with this is that it is in no way official and until it is made official by an announcement on the HTC website it's nothing more than viral marketing.

It there were any truth in it HTC would be all too keen to shout it from their website surely?

Until it is made official from HTC this "email" is either some strange hoax or a deliberate fabrication from HTC PR marketing.

The HTC Class action site should not be falling for it and giving it publicity. If the chief executive really wanted to reassure his customer's it would be official on the HTC website. To think he would email personally to one particular person making claims of a forthcoming fix is quite frankly very unbelievable!

As to checking the email for correct SMTP headers etc, it takes nothing to fabricate those, it is only a text document after all that can be edited at will!

I don't think so. Please, check the coming SonyEricsson XPERIA X1:

Screen of 800x400 !!!

Hardware acceleration (supported with drivers) Being able to accelerate 3D graphics and decode HD Video!!

Windows Mobile 6.5

400MB of internal memory

MircroSDHC slot

QWERTY keyboard (slideable) with a much more robust mechanism than our Tytn II

3.2 MPX Cam... Cybershot!! (CarlZeis + Flash + 3x Optic)

Assisted GPS

Metal-case

Slim design

Less weight

Wonderful interface (iPhone beater)

And I'm prety sure, this brand will not disappoint us with such a device (I mean, we will not have surprises like... oh! I can't play videos... even the cam of the phone is useless, or it hangs up when touching the screen)

I took the decision of not let me being robbed by anyone, neither taunted by any brand. So I'll NOT buy a device from HTC never more. Instead of it, I'll inmediately buy the Sony device and put my AWUFULL tytn2 in sale...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DarkDvr:
Guys... HTC will probably NEVER officially announce that.

As I've said before in sticky thread:

1. It will confirm that there was an issue and we were right.

2. It will contradict their official statement about their "price policies" and that "Kaiser was never indended to have drivers and be a high end video-device" or whatever.

3. If something goes wrong they won't be able to backup from releasing drivers. By "something" I mean shaky Qualcomm's position, they did lose the court case and who knows what can happen with that company. And HTC as I understand will be relying on Qualcomm for drivers.

4. This publicity is not that good for them, as it will stay in people's minds that HTC is releasing devices, and drivers for them with a huge delay. Not a good marketing.

Of course, they have smart strategists working there and perhaps they will deem it profitable to release the official statement. We will just have to wait and see. But besides that - I wouldn't wait for official statement.

Oh and one more thing - chainfire updated htcclassaction.org, he says that they've analyzed smtp headers of the letter and they do look genuine. Besides that (as I udnerstand) they've sent a separate letter to Mr Chou and he confirmed that those are his emails.
