[Essential Phone Accessories] Tardeaux:
Since nobody is pushing product into our "protection that doesn't disable significant device features" space, here's a freebie for ya. When making skins, how about an option to have a nice cutout for the wireless modules to to chatter through? This way we can have a majority of the back protected (and less slippery/fingerprinty) AND use our gimmicky, ultra-low-quality, mostly garbage but still rather expensive snap-on modules?

For my own use, I took a PhantomSkinz screen protector and hacked about 1/6th of it off with a box cutter...but surely a pro could make something more elegant and have something worth selling?

Disclaimer: In case you need a little guidance...I recommend cutting the film BEFORE installation. Do not take a razor blade to the back of your phone. This is why you can't have nice things.

You so funny guy.

I just gave up and put a case on it.

I only used the 360 a couple times any way....
[Essential Phone Accessories] gqukyo:
Some of us (me included) had no issues using the 360 camera with either the dbrand or Sopiguard skins. Can't say that'll hold true for future mods.
[Essential Phone Accessories] JCBomb:
I ended up just tracing the 360 camera and taking an exacto knife to it.

Looks pretty dumb.

I have a sopiguard one and it was fine at first with the 360 camera. Now it only works about 25% of the time, without it me having to fidget with it to recognize.
[Essential Phone Accessories] gqukyo:
That's no worst than the Tudia case with cutouts specifically for the 360 camera mod...
[Essential Phone Accessories] gr00vy0ne:
I made a small incision to my body skin and now have the 360 camera working. I'll probably buy a few more to experiment but the wireless data transfer looks like it happens between the two pins so you might not need such a large hole.
[Essential Phone Accessories] woundtrauma:
I think they should be removable because cutting the lines will ruin that sweet sweet uniform look. Of course it's not possible on those sticker protectors but protective cases could be different thing. Some kind of locking mechanism to that extra piece would rise the price of the case yes, but if you're buying this phone and want to use those accessories -

still wanting the protection

- you'd be ready to pay from it. Maybe Essential itself could take on this "problem".
[Essential Phone Accessories] WarTowels:
The mechanism could just be the pins themselves. A removable back piece that connects directly to those pins would be clutch. I think that's a really great idea.
[Essential Phone Accessories] detonation:
What skin is that? Looking for a simple clear skin for the back so the phone doesn't slip-n-slide off every surface.
[Essential Phone Accessories] gr00vy0ne:
It's from Skinomi and part of the kit that has the screen protector and body protectors. It definitely helps in terms of grip.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LexHimself:
Hi,

In the past somewhere i have wiped my EFS partition, and probably done some other things to my GT-I9505 i should not have done.

Used the phone for 2 years now without even noticing the IMEI was gone. (I live near a border, so bad network is common.)

Currently the phone is stock except for a custom recovery (TWRP). Tomorrow the IMEI will be restored by a local shop for 50 euro's, was the max budget before considering a new phone.

When it is restored, do i only need to backup the EFS partition, or should i take other things in mind, before flashing custom roms again?

Also, what file do i need in the EFS to make sure they did not just modify the software?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The IMEI is no longer stored in the EFS partition. When you get the phone back, use Wanam Partition Backup and back up the following partitions. Most of these partitions are hidden, which is why you need Wanam: it can see the partitions.

fsg

m9kefs1

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] crainbo:
I know there are many topics on this issue. I just received a new Moto Z Play from Amazon this week and it came with 6.0.1. I went through several updates and now am up to 7.1.1.

I have gone through all of the various suggestions for fixing WiFi but I am still having WiFi issues. I will connect at various times and work for awhile, it will disconnect and not work at times, it will say it's connected yet no data will work. It's very frustrating and I'm wondering if there is a newer, better solution to this without sending the phone in for service. Has anyone had any luck recently with fixing the issue? Most threads are from a year or so ago.

I appreciate any help as I want to try this phone and I want to like this phone but WiFi not working is not acceptable for any phone.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] scottdanpor:
Have you done a factory reset with the 7.1.1 version? If not try that and let us know if it helped.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] crainbo:
Yes, I did a factory reset last night after I had done all of the updates to get to 7.1.1.

If I use this Loader.img, then I could flash (CLARK_RETUS_6.0_MPHS24.49-18-8_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml) for example as I have the XT1575, and wouldn't need to use the (CLARK_RETLA_DS_7.0_NPHS25.200-15-3_cid12_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml) file and then flash the XT1575 6.0 modem?

And then also... once I'm on (CLARK_RETUS_6.0_MPHS24.49-18-8_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml), I can just jump str8 to LineageOS 14.1? I don't need to upgrade to the latest stock version right? The modem doesn't change as long as I'm Marshmallow?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Kizznyc:
Yea happened to me too. Maybe some water spilled. If not you have been abusing the power button. Better get a sleep wake cover like a finite and don't let the battery die. Power button issues went away after a few hours. Trick is to keep insisting the tab that power button still works don't give up.

Also press it in centre don't go wayward while pressing.

If you got issue with power button and got warranty get it changed for a replacement device... DO NOT GO FOR REPAIR SAME DEVICE.

Also if you connect charger and remove and connect trick is to learn how it works tab s3 should turn on without power button required. Just make sure you got that fingerprint unlock also keep screen timeout less if u don't have auto sleepwake cover

Possible root way? Z982 MetroPCS

I was using app called, Missed Notification Reminder by Eugene popovich version 1.1.18 on play store. That app has a section that adds apps you want to remind you of notifications. When I was adding apps, here was also files that shows Qualcomm, modem stuffs like that. That had to be in the root area. So, correct me if I'm wrong. The author of that app apparently hit and went thu a locked door to the root area with that app. I had an Samsung avant that I had rooted myself till I broke screen. Then got this z982 from MetroPCS. Does this helps any on finding a way to root these phone? Sometimes we just stumble on these things. I just couldn't figure out why I was seeing those files when all I was trying to do is add an app for reminders.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] stryker759a:
Good Morning All,

I had a quick question. When I connect my pixel Xl to my Windows 10 pc I get the drop down android system option to change from USB charging to file transfer.

On my Essential when I connect it makes the noise where windows notices it but on my phone I don't have the option to change from charging to file transfer.

I'm sure it is something I am missing but would appreciate any input. I believe it is a driver issue as my other windows 10 laptop recognizes it and I am able to change to the transfer files option.

I checked device manager and it is not showing up under portable devices.

Thanks
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Parakaleo:
On my HTC 10, you can make the change manually by going to Settings>>More(last option under Wireless and networks)>>USB connection
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] stryker759a:
Thanks I have the option to change it to MTP via developer options and it works fine where I get the notification on my other PC. I'm thinking somehow my one laptops driver may be bad as it recognizes my Pixel but not the essential.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Parakaleo:
Yeah, I was thinking there was a way in developer options as well, but I don't have my cable with me so it wasn't showing up.

I have an older laptop that makes the "recognition noise/ring" when I plug in my phone, but it takes like 2-3 minutes before the screen pops up asking what I want to do with it. Don't know if that could be your issue, but you may try just letting it sit for a few before unplugging it and see if that changes anything.

Or, it could be just like you say, bad driver.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] stryker759a:
Thanks I'm going to try and reinstall the generic driver and see what happens. Strange it works on one laptop but not the other. Gotta love Windows.
