[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] SebStefMD:
Hello,

I have a big issue with SMG935V phone. I purchased the phone in US, and I am now currently living in Slovenia, EU. The problem is I can't connect to my local network with my local SIM card. Whenever I enter my local SIM, the info comes up, that says: ''This is not a Verizon Wireless SIM" and the network goes gray, I can't select a new network. I tried entering Access Point Names, but to no success. Last month when I was in US, I brought the phone to Verizon Store, where they guaranteed me, that the phone is unlocked and should work properly even in Europe.

Does anybody have an idea, what should I do?

Thanks in advance.

Is there any way to mute all notification sounds without vibration? When I'm working I don't want my phone to make any sounds or vibrate while it's laying on my wooden desk. I'm coming from Samsung Galaxy devices and there was always an option to mute ALL notifications, sound and vibration. Am I missing something? Shouldn't have to turn on Do Not Disturb for something so simple that I'm sure many people use.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Lawlrus:
Doesn't DND work ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] obsanity:
Lower the volume all the way down then push down again further and the phone will go into a full silent mode except alarms.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cescman:
Why "shouldn't have to turn on DND"? What you want is exactly what DND does. No sounds and no vibration. You can even choose which notification can go through with priority mode
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah I agree. I use the DND toggle all the time right before I go into work. You don't even have to leave the lockscreen.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] iceddown:
When DND is on do notifications still show on the screen? I'm asking because I've never used it, just always muted my phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
They can if you turn off the option which blocks it. Look at the settings under "Block visual disturbances".
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Lawlrus:
So you never even tried it yet state that you shouldn't have to use it? Lmao
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] iceddown:
I don't understand why turning the volume all the down with the rocker turns on vibrate instead of just turning down the volume. DND presents you with a myriad of options that make muting your phone take more steps than necessary. My S7 had DND and I never had to use it, guess why? Turning down the volume actually turned down the volume and nothing else. I could even mute the phone with the screen off or locked so no I shouldn't have to use a "feature" that takes more button presses than necessary.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
That's cool you could do that with the screen off. There's a couple simple ways to do DND from the lockscreen. One is double tapping the screen (or press power) and volume down all the way until you get to vibrate then press volume down again to mute which then turns DND on. You can also get out of DND with the volume button too. Someone mentioned this already. Or you can double tap to wake (Or press power), slide down the the notification menu, tap DND toggle. Both are not many steps really and no unlocking necessary.

How do I mute the dial pad without setting the phone itself to mute or DND?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] byproxy:
So I just thought I'd share my experience trying out 4 different cases and finally settling on one...

ALL of the cases I tried are good. I'd recommend all of them. They will simply appeal to different people for different reasons.

That said, the first case was the Caseology Vault Series - https://www.amazon.com/Caseology-Pro.../dp/B075RVL499

This was a great case but was way thicker than I was looking for. This one though would offer the most protection for the phone of the 4. I'm just willing to take a greater damage risk to have a slimmer phone so this one had to go back.

The next case was the MNML - https://mnmlcase.com/products/google-pixel-2-xl

This case was the polar opposite of the Caseology one. It was so thin I wasn't quite sure what the point was. I mean it literally is basically just a "skin" that one would use to colorize the phone. I suppose it offers some scratch protection for the back and sides but it certainly would do absolutely nothing should you accidentally drop your device. This one had to go back as well.

The next case was the Spigen Thin Fit - https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=as_li_s...hin+fit+spigen

This is a great case!! I really liked it. It's thin enough to not add any real bulk to the phone but seemed to be just thick enough to offer some minimal damage protection. The design is great too. There were 2 "issues" with this one though. First is that it's quite difficult to remove your phone from this case. This isn't a big deal really since generally one isn't taking their phone out of it's case frequently... but still, I was actually worried I was going to damage my device when I was trying to remove it from the case. Second, it has an open top and bottom design. I didn't feel this was a major issue, but I (personally) just didn't like the aesthetics of it. That said, others have mentioned that this type of design has lead to some damage since the entire phone isn't protected. In the end, while I did like this case a lot, it had to go back.

The final case (and winner) was the Maxboost mSnap - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074BGXB69

This case was nearly identical to the Spigen case except that it offered full coverage of the phone. If anything I'd say this one was just the tiniest bit thinner than the Spigen but if it was at all, it'd hardly noticeable. This one also goes on and off of the phone a bit easier. For me (so far) this is the best case in terms of thinness and device protection.

Anyway, fwiw, that's my mini case review.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] theBeachBoy:
I have the MNML and mSnap ordered (prior to your post) waiting for delivery. I'll choose if I want front protection or not.

I have the preferred care so for me minimal protection is not really an issue. I want spanning caseless but the photo hump will get damaged if I don't put some kind of case... I also need something to hold my metal plate for magnet car mount.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] byproxy:
i can't comment on the mnml case bump... i didn't even look. just knew within seconds of taking the case out of the box that it was thinner than i was looking for (i mean seriously... it's basically just like a skin... which is way cool if that's what you're looking for).

as to the metal plate, the spigen case had a recess specifically for that but to be honest, i've not had any issues with my metal plate in any of the cases i've tried (though, again, i didn't get that far with the mnml case). i just use a piece of masking tape to secure the plate on the inside of the case and then put it on the phone. hasn't ever not worked for me this way... though the thicker the case the less effective the magnetic mounts are. on all of the cases i mentioned, the thickness isn't an issue. even on the thickets one (caseology) the magnetic mount held the phone just fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] theBeachBoy:
Only difference is that the MNML does protect the bump because of the raised fingerprints not cutout that pushes just enough to protect the lens. A skin is thin everywhere so lens is exposed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Raistlin1:
How do you find the material on the maxboost case compared to the Spigen thin fit? I tried the maxboost case on one of my last phones and hated how slippery it was. I didn't believe the reviews that a case could be that slippery, but it really was.

Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] branshaw09:
Nice review! I have or have had 3 of the cases above (Spigen, Maxboost and MNML). I currently only have the Spigen and MNML and use the MNML as my everyday case. I liked the feel of the Maxboost but returned it due to how hard it was to get my phone out of that thing, so we didnt have the same experience with that. I change cases and with the Maxboost really felt like I was going to scratch or damage my phone pulling it out of that case. Anyway, I'd highly recommend the maxboost if you are using one case and that is it. Just my two cents.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dyingearth:
I tried both Spigen thin and rugged. Went with Rugged and like it a bit more.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] byproxy:
in my opinion, the feel of the material itself is identical in every way between the spigen and maxboost. as i mentioned before, the maxboost might be the tiniest bit thinner, but it definitely feels the same.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] silesraf:
I have the vault
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Lucke:
i have a Spigen Thin Fit on my 6P and love it so much, except for the slick back, so i decided to buy the same for the Pixel. the new is a little more grippy, which is good, and it has the cutout for the metal plate, which is great. now i just need Google to ship my damn phone :p
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] gogol:
I have the MNML on my Pixel 2 (waiting my 2XL still), and I don't like MNML because it is too slippery.

And I have Spigen Thin fit on few old Nexuses, which after few years, it has chipped (broken) here and there, not good.

Recently, thinking to get mSnap, but still not convinced with the grip. Probably I will take the bite and order it.

To OP, could you please attach some photos of your phone with mSnap? Does it has bump to protect the camera lens? Good button cutout?

Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] gogol:
Oh well, I read lots of review from mSnap Amazon page for Pixel 2, lots of mentioned it is too slippery as well :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] r0adki111:
I picked up this case after reading this review. My main case is a Spigen neo hybrid. I like the extra protection for my work week. I use it with a wireless charging adapter as well, so my USB port is always plugged by that.

I switch to the msnap on the weekends while at home and such. Wireless charging adapter is not used with this case. I typically need frequent access to the USB port for flashing and what not. I try not to mess with flashing or modding the phone much during the work week.

The texture feels matte and very nice to hold. It is a little slippery, but not overly so. Definitely not as grippy as the Spigen. It is very thin and almost feels as good as holding the device without a case. Almost! We will see if it gets a little grippier over time with more use.

I can't seem to find the image again, but I saw one showing measurements of the phone with and without the case. It was showing that it does hold the screen and the camera lens a couple hundredths of a millimeter off the table or other flat surface. You can barely tell by looking at the back, it is just a hair thicker than the camera bump. Laying it on a table seems fine in general. Dropping it on uneven surface like pavement or dirt, good luck!

Thanks for the recommendation OP, I do love this case.

This is my version of TWRP built for the 2017 Moto G5S. It should work fine, but using it is a try at your own risk procedure. Your bootloader must be unlocked to use this recovery. Fastboot mode is used to flash or boot this recovery. To enter fastboot mode, turn off your device, hold PWR and VolDn for 3 seconds, then let go.

Differences between upstream TWRP and my fork:

My original green theme

No SuperSU

No TWRP app

No HTC Dumlock cruft

Updated pigz compressor (slightly faster and more tolerant of corruption)

To temporarily boot this recovery:

fastboot boot twrp.img

To permanently flash it:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Hi,

i just flashed your TWRP. The flash was successful, after booting to recovery twrp came up just fine. I wiped /data to decrypt, then rebooted the phone... Now it seems either bootlooping or bricked.

(Of course i unlocked the bootloader before flashing)

The phone just shows the bootloader-screen (blue background, red M-Logo, white letters "powered by android") with a small text in the middle "bad key).

Nothing happens. I cant even shut it down. Holding the power button for 10 seconds seems to start a reboot (screen goes black) but the bootloader-screen immediately shows back up and stays. Theres nothing i can do, no adb/fastboot access either...

Any suggestions? :(

Edit1:

AH! Pressing VolDown + Power gets me to fastboot/recovery... Phew. Guess i flash the stock rom first before proceeding any further.

Edit2:

Succeeded, nice!

Hi,

I flashed this TWRP. After flashing I went to recovery mode. Format Data failed as /data unknown. Flashed stock ROM. Again flashed TWRP. This time it just bootloops into TWRP recovery. When I power off and ON again, it bootloops and goes into TWRP recovery again and again. Any idea what could be wrong? My guess is I screwed up partition table. But not sure.

Thanks

KS

I went through flashing stock ROM, TWRP once again. After flashing TWRP, I went to recovery repeatedly and did 'Format Data' every time. I flashed Magisk. System booted fine. I verified by power off/on several times. Seems to be working fine.

Thanks

Thanks for your hard work at bringing TWRP to the MOTO G5s.

It took me a while to install it on my XT1797, as there was some strange message during boot which said

ID: Bad key

But after many many times bricking and unbricking, I am now finally rooted using Magisk.

Hope that we can see some custom Roms for this great device soon.

[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] FAFAŁ:
Hi . Thx for You job . My phone stil a live :D But I have a question .

how about this one ?

At first boot twrp will ask for "Swipe to allow modifications for /system" and if you choose to allow it system partition will get modified. So if you choose to reboot back to OS without performing anything in twrp, the OS won't boot (as verity check is enabled in stock OS/kernel) . To avoid this you have to flash either SuperSU or flash any of the verity disabler zips there in xda
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] janhieber:
What is the question? For me it worked without such vertiy disable stuff. Simply unlock the bootloader, boot and/or flash TWRP, root your phone or do anything else. When TWRP asks to change /system, answer yes.
[Moto G5S  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Furosemid:
