[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Jacquesyeoh:
Hi all,

Upon some research, i found out that some people are affected by this issue

The bluetooth metadata won't show while connecting to car interface (Mazda Connect, Ford Sync, etc), or perhaps any other bluetooth interface

Apparently other devices like several One Plus model at Nougat is also suffering from it

The related pages that talk about it are as below

forums.oneplus.net/threads/bluetooth-to-car-audio-artist-and-song-title-showing-as-unknown.498810/

talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-XZ/Bluetooth-Metadata-not-displaying-after-Nougat-update/td-p/1183263/page/3

My observation are as below:

1. Any build on stock 7.1.1 will not be able to show bluetooth metadata (Song control and connectivity is fine)

2. 7.0 (F8332_39.2.A.0.442) works fine

3. Marshmellow works fine too

Anyone has any idea to fix this?

Currently i've already backup TA, unlocked bootloader, rooted, and prepared to flash each and every ROM to find out which ROM will fix this annoying issue...

[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Captainjman2:
Hey everyone, if your issues is displaying meta data in you car there is a option you can select in the developer options that fixed this for me in my 2013 Mazda 3. Once you enable developer options go to "Bluetooth AVRCP Version" and select any of the options. The option I had to choose was "1.3". After you select it you will need to restart your phone. Good Luck!

How much mAh consumes your Device Idle approximately per 24 hours?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limeybastard:
Sorry I sold mine recently, but it hardly used any power in standby. After two days in stand by it would still register about 91% battery if not more. Was pretty slick. Model was 4G international variant.

Pretty much same here. Standby drain is excellent. Bet I don't lose even 5% in 24 hours if the tablet is left alone. :victory:

Wow! You got the highest SOT of the V30 I have seen so far! Very impressive! Shows how long WiFi and a dark Theme can stretch battery on a good phone!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] AndroidPurity:
This is my best so far. It was on WiFi 95% of the time and 70% brightness basically the entire time. If do 50% brightness and a dark amoled theme I am confident I could surpass 9 hours of screen on time. I have seen no other flagship with battery screen on time this high.

You came from a 6P? Are you happy with it? I've got a 6P too and my V30 will be here on Tuesday. Just nervous about the switch from stock to LG's skin.

Are you even hoping for a stock rom once root is available, it are you liking it?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] justibasa:
So if you throw Nova or pixel launcher on it, it looks just like stock. You won't notice the lg stuff at all. I was a Nexus use myself and absolutely love this phone.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ern88:
So far. I love the phone. I am using the Pixel 2 mod launcher. I think you will be really happy with the V30. I may root it.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonzey231:
I'm using the Pixel 2 Launcher right now on my 6P, but since it's a Nexus, I get to keep my Google now panel.

The only reason I even have my 6P rooted is so I can enable night lite. Otherwise, I wouldn't care to even have the stock Google Now launcher, but if I'm rooting I may as well do it all and go full Pixel Mods.

If I can use Nova or the Pixel 2 Launcher with root at some point I think I'm going to love it. I don't want to use another rom because you'll lose a lot of camera quality.

You've just made my nerves settle down though saying that you don't even notice the change that much with just a simple launcher swap.

Is there anything you like on it specifically? Like, "Damn glad I didn't get a Pixel because I wouldn't even have this LG feature."

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ----------

Thanks! I'm really excited for it and just kind want some answers to calm my nerves about my first non-stock Android phone....in a long time.

The only phone I had that wasn't "stock" android was a Droid X waaayyy back in the day when I was still crazy enough to be on Verizon ?. I went from a Palm Pre Plus, to a Droid X, to a Nexus 4, then N6, and finally my 6P. So again, I'm just nervous.

But I went into a T-Mo store and played with it for a bit and then camera is absolutely amazing and it was fast and fluid as hell even with the demo mode. PLUS, it's so much smaller than the 6P due to the decreased bezels which is awesome.

I'll definitely miss my front firing speakers though, for sure.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonzey231:
Oh yes, I do know that. I actually used it for a little while on my 6P during the O previews if the actual Pixel Mods weren't updated quickly enough. It'd be nice if there was just a "Pixel/Nexus Mode" built into it though. There are just so many damn customization options that it's like IFTTT or Tasker for me. I'd rather spend the 5-10 minutes getting root and installed a few flashables then dig through menus and sub-menus of Nova. However, the one thing I do really like about Nova (and the reason I paid for premium) is because you can backup an exact config. So you can have one setup for the weekend with trail hiking/gps apps up front, and then back to outlook/messaging apps during the week, and lastly have all the casting and entertainment apps readied up in the evenings at home.

All in all though, I just like having the legit Pixel launcher installed. But if I want to keep the Google Now pane I may have to change how I do things.

It's shipping to the office tomorrow morning and we receive all of our UPS by 10:30-11am everyday, so I'll have the majority of the work day to get things how I like them and we'll just have to see!

Thanks!

More battery life means you need more control means installing Greenify and going pro with Greenify to sleep system apps . . . . . and then finally ( because we all are not rooted yet . . . ) do the developer plus ADB step to allow Greenify more privileges.

.

The play store also has many "disable ( LG ) apps" - app -and- it/they also require you to do the developer plus ADB step to allow it more privileges . . .

.

Go figure

It's a very strange situation. IMEI is null/null, baseband is gone, but I can boot the phone fine, and even use PingPong Root without trouble. But there's no radio at all.

If the phone is an sgh-i337 from AT&T, you cannot flash any stock ROMs from updato.com or sammobile.com.

AT&T never released any full ROMs after 4.1.1. All updates for the s4 were pushed via OTA.

The XDA link is for the s6. You flashed the PDA and CSC for an s6 via Odin?

Just wondering how much time people think it'll take before we get even a super unstable rom
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] GohanBurner:
From the looks of it, it took a month just to get TWRP on the original Pixel, so probably a while. Personally, I am straying away from ROMs. I only need root so that I can get viper4android and provisioning turned off. Other than that, don't really need anything else anymore.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] stuff:
I don't care too much for roms, however I'm interested in a Kernel that will allow me full control of the screen colors.

I feel that will come sooner than Google will officially provide more vibrant colors.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] cb474:
I'm looking forward to Lineage OS. I hope the Pixel 2 gets official support. The Pixel 1 has never had an official version of Lineage OS.

I don't need a lot of new features and mods. But Lineage does strip out some of the privacy violating stuff in Android, other crud, and gets updated weekly, making it more secure.

Currently the Pixel 2 is still on the September 5 security patch from Google. So it has not been patched for the extremely bad Krack vulnerability in wifi (which affects all platforms). In fact, no version of Android, even on the original Pixels has been patched for Krack. But Lineage OS was patched within a day of the public announcement of Krack. This means my Nexus 4 running Lineage OS is more secure than the most up to date Pixel, even though Google stopped supporting the Nexus 4 years ago. That is just an embarrassment and Google should be humiliated, but really they don't care that much about security.

(If you don't know about Krack, it completely breaks WPA2 wifi connections--which is what everyone uses--and allows an attacker to easily decrypt all of your traffic.)

By the way, Windows was patched for Krack the week before it was publically announced. Linux was patched the day of the announcement. As I said, Lineage OS was patched the next day. Apple has been vague about when there will be updates to either MacOS or iOS and just leaked to some bloggers that they are coming--Apple is the worst on security on the desktop now (though they do a lot of PR to appear great) and not good on the iPhone. Google says they have a patch, but are not clear at all about when it will come (a computer journalist/developer I was emailing with recently said to me that Android security is so bad it should be considered criminal).

Anyway, so that's an argument for at least some ROMs, beyond a need for any special features and mods.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] 318sugarhill:
I'm with the previous posters. I don't NEED roms...but more development is always a good thing. Remember the days when just getting all your data from phone to phone required Root and titanium? Now all that's backed up in the cloud and restores over the cloud. I was a holdout of the grandfathered UDP and NEEDED root for tethering. But now I'm on the new unlimited and save money now that my teenager is on a smartphone. I'm saving $ on the plan... Never really worry about Data and I really haven't seen a difference.

Android has come so far that each update root has become more for fun instead of necessity.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Chronzy:
Everybody needs to settle down with this Krack paranoia. There no hacker sitting outside your window hacking your wifi.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] twiz0r:
Say what?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] cb474:
Probably not at your home (although doing that used to be a hobby, called Wardriving, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardriving, so maybe with Krack it will become popular again).

But at work, in a cafe, public places with wifi, wifi sniffing is definitely known to happen.

Further, every time I've heard some say not to worry about some "paranoid" computer security issue, it has come to pass. I can't count anymore the number of computer security disasters that were so predictable, even though they sounded crazy, that I saw them coming years ahead and then they happened.

Basically, these days, we are losing the computer security game. Between extremely sophisticated state actors and almost as sophisticated criminals, huge amounts of resources are going into hacking people in every possible way. If you can think of a hack, it almost certainly is something that is happening or will happen. I've gotten it right so many times that way, when less sophisticated people thought I was crazy. I'm telling you, just imagine something that seems really bad with computer security, sit back, wait a couple years, and it will happen.

What's worse, with Krack, there are so many people running devices that don't get supported anymore that they will be vulnerable to Krack forever. Most routers never get updates either and people don't replace them, so they will be vulnerable for a long time too.

And the people who should be protecting us (Google, banks--Equifax, ahem) don't care, because for them fraud is just and operating expense.

My advice to people is don't do anything over wifi on your phone that you expect to be secure (like banking apps, etc.). Better safe than sorry. Really, I don't think people should ever use banking apps on their phones (or things like Android Pay)--I know people who work for banks developing these things and they really don't spend money on security people (there is also an extreme lack of enough talent in this area). I'll predict it right now. One of these days some banking app is going to get hacked and thousands if not millions of people are going to lose money out of their accounts. The banks will act shocked, pass the cost on to their customers, and know all along they couldn't be bothered to prevent it.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] foosion:
The original Pixel had a new dual boot and system partition structure (for seamless updates), which increased the time needed to get TWRP. With luck the Pixel 2 will have the same structure, so it won't require so much work to get TWRP.

I mainly need root so adaway can change the hosts file to get rid of ads. Maybe I'll just stick with stock recovery and use one of the vpn ad blockers.

I believe it is confirmed to have the same file system. There are indications that there are "slots"again just like the original Pixel.

All development is waiting on the release of the kernel source for the Pixel 2. I'd imagine it'll surface close to when the next OTA comes out with the October/November security patch.

WARNING: This should not be done lightly. This could brick your phone if not done properly. I take no responsibility for anyone's actions or phones. I'm just relaying my findings and the process I used to unlock my Google Store bought Pixel 2. This process will not work with a Verizon bought Pixel 2. (see note at end)

WARNING: This process will erase all content on your Pixel 2. Essentially do a factory reset.

1. Backup your Pixel 2 first. Before doing anything just make sure you have up to date backup for your device data as well your files such as images, pictures, videos or documents.

2. Have already installed ADB and Fastboot Setup on your PC.

3. Make sure your device is charged.

4. Enabled USB debug and OEM Unlock option from the device settings under the "Developer Mode" menu.

You will have to enable Developer Mode. Do this by tapping the Build Number under "System", "About Phone" 7 times.

You can now unlock you Google Pixel 2 Bootloader.

1. Connect your Pixel 2 phone to your PC and wait for drivers to be installed.

2. Now go to ADB and Fastboot Folder then do Shift + Right Click to select Open Command Prompt Here.

3. Boot your Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL to bootloader mode using this: adb reboot bootloader

4. Now to unlock your phone enter this command in terminal: fastboot flashing unlock

5. On your phone allow the device to be unlocked by selecting Yes using power keys and power button to confirm.

6. Your phone will not reboot with a warning that your bootloader is unlocked and can't be verified (this is normal). Your device with erase all content and reboot a second time.

7. Your phone will now be at the same state it was as a new phone to set up.

I have not seen of a method to root the Pixel 2 yet. If the procedure is similar to the Pixel this should put you into a position to root your phone without having to erase all your data to unlock your bootloader first.

NOTE ON VERIZON BOUGHT PIXELS:

I don't know if this process will work with the Pixel 2 or not. This is how I unlocked the bootloader on my Verizon bought Pixel. I bought mine very early on. It was right after they patched the work around we had to unlock the Verizon bootloaders. I did not let Verizon turn on the phone when I purchased it. I removed the micro-sim when I got it home before turning the phone on. I then went through the above process to unlock my bootloader. With the Pixel the blocking of the "OEM Unlock" seemed to happen after it connected to the Verizon network. With the Pixel 2 it won't let you "OEM Unlock" the phone unless you are connected to to the internet at a minimum. So this may not work for the Pixel 2.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Anyone who doesn't know this already should never unlock their bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] psu90:
Agreed. I just posted this for those wondering if there were differences in the process between the Pixel and Pixel 2. At least Google kept it the same. Now we just need a TWRP for the Pixel 2 to finish the root.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bjgood:
Unlocking will break safetynet right?

Can I expect that to be resolved after someone develops a method to root?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] psu90:
That is correct. For the Pixel they had a kernel that would disable the safetynet check and return a pass whenever an app would check. We'll have to wait and see what happens for the Pixel 2.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
I think at this point the best thing to do is flip the switch to allow bl unlock and leave it at that. I mean if you are going to root in the future. Until they release sources unlocking will break AP and security check apps. If you don't care about that then unlock the bl now since it will wipe the device in the process. That's the beauty of having a Verizon model. You can't do that so the pressure is off. ;)
