[LG Watch Urbane 2] keennay:
I just bought the Samsung Gear S3, apparently didn't do my research, and failed to realize there's no Android Wear 2.0 support. As an Android app developer, I can't easily port my apps to the Tizen OS and thus have no choice but to return my Samsung Gear S3 for a device that supports Android Wear 2.0.

I've been looking around T-Mobile's website and wasn't very satisfied with their lineup of Android watches. I took a look at LG's watches, which would go well with my LG V20 on T-Mobile, yet saw they only have variants for AT&T & Verizon.

Has anyone here been able to successfully get an LG Urbane 2 working on T-Mobile's 4G LTE network? Is there an unlocked version that would most likely support enough bands on the T-Mobile network?

Thanks,

Nick
[LG Watch Urbane 2] al_elric:
I use the att version on the T-Mobile network with no problem. Customer support even got all the forwarding for my number set up for the watch as well.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] nigelhealy:
I put a T-Mobile SIM and it worked , got a signal and showed LTE at times but I got LTE more often using an ATT SIM so I used a Truphone SIM which is ATT MVNO in to use for the times I want cellular.

So yes, works, but be aware fewer LTE bands and it drops signal more often than a phone so more for email notification etc when away from phone.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jinkerz9430:
+1 to post 2 and 3. The Urbane 2nd edition LTW W200A comes unlocked. As soon as you insert the simcard you can use it as an independent phone to browse, watch videos, hear music, and many more things.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] uclachris:
-->Update: using "network connections app" today I found "skmsagentservice" , on three occasions in the list, used so far a gigabyte each ( just within hours today). Any thoughts as to what thats about, how to stop, virus/hacked?

I have an S7 active that is using about 230GB per month in background processes. Theres not much on the phone, just twrp, and a few apps. Apps only used 500 Mb during each of the months. I tried malwarebytes, comes up clean.

Anyone know what could cause this, or how to stop it?

I have not hard reset because I do not want the phone to update the os im using now which is currently 7.0 Feb1, 2017 sec patch. All auto updates turned off, system update off, android auto updates off.

Is there an app that will say exactly what background process is sucking up so much data, and what it is doing?

Android 7 Feb 1, 2017 Sec Patch

-->data usage --> wifi data usage --> at the top "android os" --> foreground= 64kb, background = 230 GB (not kb, not mb)

Hi All,

When I install Spb GPRS Monitor, I get couple of extra items in the middle of the today screen, one is the battery status and the other is the slider to control screen brightness.

Eversince I did a hard reset of my device, the screen brightness slider does not work. At first I thought it was something to do with Battery status app, as it was new to me. But then I did another hard reset and just install Spb GPRS Monitor but no luck.

Any one got any ideas?

Thanks

Are you using a Kaiser, and what version is your HTCUtil.dll?

Hi,

Yes its a Kaiser on UK O2.

There is a HTCUtil.dll dated 04-Oct-07 and there is HTCUti1.dll dated 29/09/07.

Not sure how to get versin numbers.....I think I'll need Resco explorer or some thing?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] roks:
any ideas?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NuShrike:
Actually, no idea. You have the latest HTCUtil.dll that is properly updated to work for the Kaiser, and if you're using the SPB GPRS Monitor that came with the Kaiser, it should just work.

Actually I just remembered that and installed it from the cd-rom and its working now.

Hello Awesome XDA Developers! I have a question about charging and using USB OTG. I tried it on my 2014 Moto X but it did not work with my "Y" cable. I am on the latest "nightly" build. I did some searching and it appears this is a rooted or custom kernel option that must be enabled, though some forums indicated it might be the cable. Is there a way to enable simultaneous charging and USB OTG as part of the OS? If not, is there a guide you can point me to that I can try it myself (rooting or compiling)? Thanks in advance!

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zarataraz:
Hi everyone. First time posting, so bear with me. Curious as the the effects of unrooting my Nexus 5x. If I root the device to remove bloatware and then undo it, do the apps I uninstalled come back?

To be clear, I have neither rooted nor unrooted my phone and am looking for a way to remove some pre-installed apps.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nowster:
What bloatware are you talking about on the Nexus 5X?

Do bear in mind that removing anything from the system partition will prevent you from receiving any future OTAs, and you'll need to repeat the procedures each time you manually upgrade your system.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zarataraz:
Okay, very helpful. I just figured that was the easiest way to describe pre-installed apps. Not really bad, just stock apps for which I have preferred replacements (like chrome and youtube) So, you're saying that removing those does me no good if I intend to unroot. Thanks!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buggzy1011:
I currently have a Moto X Pure with ResurictionRemix (7.1.2) on it, with the last version of stock being the last Marshmallow update. Would there be any benefit to update the phone to stock Nougat (updating the bootloader, modem, etc.) and install another custom rom onto the phone, or will that cause issues (unable to install a custom rom). Thank you for your time.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spencervb256:
So not that it would cause issues if you upgraded to 7.0 then to a custom ROM... It literally isn't possible. Honestly if I were you I'd stick on custom ROMs. Going back to stock to upgrade to stock 7.0 will be a huge pain in the ass if you ever wish to go back to custom ROMs again. Honestly, not really a benefit to stock 7.0, and I wouldn't recommend especially if you wanted to change back again if you didn't enjoy stock 7.0.

So what I'm saying is you can't upgrade to stock 7.0, then to a custom ROM, as none are compatible with the new bootloader introduced with stock nougat. And to revert to stock 6.0 from stock 7.0 is kinda sketchy...just read around the help forum for this phone here to know what I mean

Sorry for the formatting, hope that makes sense :)
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsolete1:
There's only 1 custom ROM (check the Lineage 14.1 thread) that works with the 7.0 firmwares that anybody has made public. I don't seem to have much free time to work on getting any of my builds to work on 7.0 firmware. So if you want to upgrade to 7.0 you get stock or Lineage 14.1. Not that there were a lot of options before.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] photoman9988:
So my friend and I ordered our Essential phones at the same time. He had a friends and family coupon on his order, and I did not. We both got our orders today, and noticed that HIS phone looked a little odd. The factory screen protector had a lot of bubbles in it, as if it had been placed on a used phone and his screen already had a few micro scratches on it.

Mine on the other hand, was flawless when I took it out of the package. So we're wondering if Essential is sending out refurbished phones to people that used the F&F code to make up some of the cost?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] lightfire:

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] prgopala:
I would like to share that view as well, the build quality even though is solid it is still not perfect. I have tiny gaps, minute little ones, where the display meets the plastic/titanium body. It is more evident in the white version because it has a white (plastic ???) strip running around the titanium body and the black screen meets this plastic white border and gaps if any are pretty evident. Its not that i have those minute gaps at just one place, it is at couple of places. I will try to get a good photo by evening.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] photoman9988:
Yes, it was. Which makes me think that they may be creating new boxes to put the refurbs in so that they look new. I mean, it makes sense. It would be an easy way to go through all of the returned phones.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] heov:
yes, it would be easy. It is very weird it’s shipping from Pala alto... no company has inventory at their HQ usually! On reddit, they said they’re moving all their inventory to the US, but we’ll see.

Amazon Prime "New" EP-1

I'm wondering the same thing. I just received mine from AP (shipped from Hebron KY along with some other items). It came OEM sealed with shrink-wrap, but I see debris under the back's protection plastic. There are scratches along the Titanium edges/corners, a fairly large edge chip on the SIM slot and the SIM tray is not flush with the edge surface. There is also some kind of gunk between the Ti edge and screen and the top of the phone. I'm not usually hung up on cosmetics, but if this phone was returned earlier due to a defect I don't find until after warranty... I'd essentially (couldn't help myself :o) be buying somebody else's problem.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] vincenzo525:
I am trying to understand intents better and have spent several hours trying to figure them out. I have been able to get several to work, but I am stuck on trying to activate the screensaver from the stock Clock app. Long pressing the app shows a "start screensaver" shortcut, but I can't seem to activate it by intent. Nova Launcher shortcuts don't list it. The manifest.xml file for the clock app has these two sections (excerpts below) that I assume should have the answer, but I can't seem to make any of these intents work.

Is it possible to launch the screensaver by send intent on Tasker based on the information above? If so, could someone point me in the right direction?

The entire manifest.xml is online, but I don't have enough posts to share the link.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
I don't think the clock app launches the screensaver. I think that's done via the screensaver (daydream). I think the intent in the clock app is to bind the clock screensaver to the daydream app. You may realize, the screen saver only functions when idle and charging or docked. The screen has to time out by itself, not by a power button press.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Justintoxicated:
I work in a dead zone, so I have wifi but no mobile data.

With my new Pixel 2 XL, I cannot USB tether that wifi connection to my laptop. When I try to tether with no mobile data, or mobile data turned off the phone still tries to do a subscription check.

For reasons I do not care to discuss, I cannot connect my laptop directly to the wifi at work, I have to connect through my phone, which I can no longer do. Apparently, the subscription check was turned off by default on the Nexus 6P and so I never had this issue. Now my Pixel 2 XL will not let me share a wifi connection to my laptop via USB/ The phone has to check with my career if it will be ok to share a connection that is not theirs?

Is there a way to fix this? The whole reason I bought the google phone is that I didn't want to have to root and manually update it all the time. I'm ok with rooting it if there's a way to fix this using root, then turn off root so I can still get auto updates, but of course, it's never really been that simple in the past with other devices.
