[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
I asked about this when I ordered my 2XL... The rep told me the code would be sent AFTER the "remorse" period has expired., approx. 4 weeks.

Basically, you'll get the code once you can't simply return it because you don't want it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rkial:
Yeah. Thats pretty standard. They wont send freebies before the return period expires.

Understandable too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] gettinwicked:
You have what, 15 days to return the phone? I swear I saw my end return date somewhere, and it was literally 15 days after the day mine arrived. So, hopefully my code will show up this week, otherwise I'm sure next week.

My wife is never on board with technology, but I think she is down with the home mini lol. I think my 5 year old is going to make me want to get rid of it after like two days though...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] flora1972:
Still no sign of code?

I ordered my Pixel 2 XL on the 4th Oct (launch day) but didn't get it til Dec 6th. As of yet (Jan 2018) I've yet to receive the Google Home Mini code, although I have been told twice by Google Support, the code will be sent soon? Are the Google Home Mini's in short supply or something? As the offer (time to use code) expires 28th Feb, if people still haven't had a code by then, is the offer defunct?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
You should be on the line again with Google 1:1 support. You should have received it by now. They told me 15 days after the phone is delivered. My whole objection was the lack of communication. Had they sent an email saying "you're in, and we have you down for a mini" I would have been good, but there was nothing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] flora1972:
Nope I've had nothing from them at all... Twice I contacted the Help support (via Chat) and the person said both time that I should get the code within the next few weeks. :rolleyes: I wondered if it had gone into my Spam but it hasn't. It's been a really strange promotion as there's been no acknowledgement of it at all either on my invoice, or when I received my phone. Just surprised that a massive company like Google can't communicate a bit better.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] StevenBX:
Nothing for me yet, either. I ordered on 12/12 and received the phone a couple days later so I guess I'm still around a week away from getting one, at the earliest.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
I bought from UK store and I read the small statements, which one of them mentioned that the code would be sent between 2-6 weeks after the grace period ended. Taking in mind that this period is 15 days, I say we would have to wait even 2 months to get the code.

:silly:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Ericarthurc:
I can confirm I got my code about a week ago; and I have my google home mini on my kitchen counter. :D "Hey Google"

Ordered my phone November 30th
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] flora1972:
Received code today!

Google's ears must have been burning... Got my code today and have ordered my GHM. I did leave them feedback the other day starting I hadn't received anything so perhaps they took note or perhaps it was just coincidence.

[Sony Smartwatch 2] orangzeb:
Hello all,

I just got my sw2 repaired from a water damage situation and yesterday I connected it to my galaxy s4 and tried installing some watch faces, since then its acting up. It keeps restatrting and booting up and fails to proper boot but if I try to manually shut it down it starts fine and shows time but if I then try to goto settings or try its touch screen it gets unresponsive and goes into the same restart endless bootloop again.

I guess its a software issue as I've googled it and found many suffering the same bug.

I'm on windows 10 x64 so if someone could please help me reflashing it, ill be very thankful.

P.s I also tried resetting it once via settings but it didn't help at all.

Thanks in advance.

If you need another version of Jbed: http://eazyvg.linuxoss.com/2007/10/17/java-midlet-manager-on-htc-artemis-wm6/

After install of the new Java, overwrite the old Java shortcut with the shortcut from the programms folder (with totalcommander for example).

I use this, too.

But I don't know how to change the default browser to the new opera mini.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] savagevegeta:
Okay so the battery life on this phone is garbage. Touch wiz is to blame, I know that for sure. I have other phones that last about a week on standby but this lasts about 1 and a half days. My question is: will changing the resolutions help with the battery? Does 1440p affect this phone at all? And if I wanted to downgrade to android m, would it be worth it? What will i be missing out on? And if any custom ROMs can fix this I'll be willing to try that too. Using this phone as an iPod, you'd THINK battery life would be amazing without service. But BOY is that not true
[Android Head-Units] tcmkenny:
Hi everyone I am wondering if anybody has any more info on this android head unit.

I bought it off Ebay, works great but has a few annoying things such as radio always starts up on 87.50fm (not a station where I live)

I would love to root this and maybe mod/change a few things.

the model number is ehotchpotch 8053. I see a lot of stuff about Joying models but nothing about this "ehotchpotch" brand

It would also be good if I could at least install a different radio app (not internet radio) Anybody have the apk to these radio apps?

I cant post the link because I am new but just search for ehotchpotch 8053 and you will see the model

Any help at all would be great.

Thanks

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] PloniAlmoni:
I have an EUI 5.8.21s stock ROM zip, flashable with TWRP, from x727 (modded for dual sim x720, but can be modded back) I also have a modem for 19s. I hear the latter will fix my issues with my phone under custom ROMs, but am a bit nervous about modem flashing. My phone came with stock 18s and no OTA upgrade available.

Will the stock ROM also fix this, and also, will it relock the bootloader? If it relocks the bootloader, can I flash the 19s file that unlocks the bootloader without side-effects for custom ROMs or it not unlocking the bootloader?

I know this is a lot of questions, you don't have to answer all of them, just answer with the right solution for this problem. :)
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] PloniAlmoni:
I went ahead and flashed the modem... hope this solves my issues.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] PloniAlmoni:
It didn't solve the issues. What now? Is the stock ROM I found here, mentioned above, bootloader-unlockable or will it trap me in it? I think I want to give it a try, but want to go to custom ROMs; perhaps afterwards if the modem/baseband on it help.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] lyrebird:

You can try to flash CN stock rom and then reflash US modem. The US modem can be found in many threads.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] cal3thousand:
Are you using a dark theme? Darker colors are easier on the battery to produce on an AMOLED screen.

What are you doing during screen-on time? If you are doing resource intensive activities like using Navigation, that will absolutely kill battery. Someone having 5+ hours of screen-on time, may be doing something passive with their screens on. It's really difficult to go apples to apples in these cases.

User sewe used 1659 mAh on screen during his 7h+ run. How much is your stating is due to screen in mAh?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gursavek:
Are most of you using WQHD? I had an S8 Plus and then got the Note 8 and I can say from using both phones the Note 8 doesn't have as good battery life. I run my screen on WQHD and I get through most of the day. Battery life is average in my view, but battery life isn't a big issue since the Note 8 has fast wireless charging and fast wired charging and I have a portable battery so I always have something to charge the phone. I mean worse battery life was expected compared to the S8 Plus, bigger display and all with a smaller battery...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MatroxD:
Turn your screen resolution down(I just don't need all that ultra stuff because I don't see the difference with my eyes, except when I look at the battery draining), power saving medium(I don't throttle my cpu though the majority of the time), I use basic screen mode, and disable some things in package disabler pro. Also, some of the things that have never worked for me on the notes, as far as extra features, like the stay on when reading, blah, blah, I turn that stuff off once I get the phone.. It doesn't work for me, so I just have that habit (and after having every note that has been made, I feel, if it hasn't worked, lol, it's not gonna work) of not leaving things in unneeded.. Also, wifi, I have that not staying on during sleep.. I'm trying to think what else.. Oh.. My display is never above I'd say 40%(I just don't need it with my eyes honestly), and certainly not auto brightness mode(I do not use auto anything honestly).

Oh, and I got myself off that garbage official Facebook app long ago (tried it on my note 5, after years of not using it, and I said to myself that was the last time would ever install that app on one of my notes.. Period)...

I don't know if these are any "killer secrets" or anything, but they have always helped my devices battery life.. But I did read about the exynos variants burning through more battery.. I can't remember if it was the 4 or not, but there was a version that was all exynos, and that one I had to tweak it to run slower, because just the cpu ate a lot of battery. But the battery so far for me, on this one has been insanely good(and that's saying a lot compared to how good the battery life was on the note 7 before they recalled it).. I just milked 2 days out of this thing, and I haven't been able to do that in years from a note.. I also do keep location and Bluetooth on all the time for my gear fit and the weather..

Hope this helps someone..

My cents

Before I got pissed with how my battery drains like hell, but now I am loving everymoment from it.

Here is what I did.

1. The wifi scanning is set to never. I prefer to use Wifi if my carrier's signal is 2 bar or below or if its not 4g

2. All radios are turned off. NFC, Location etc. Bluetooth is off whenever not in need or when I am not using seperate sound.

3. All gestures are off aside from the swipe to call and messge. AOD is off but I kept edge lightning on.I love this. I also have my edge screens on.

4. I maximize the full potential of the device manger. I put all my apps to always sleeping and just refresh everything when I need to.

5. I use blue wallpapers but never a White wallpaper.

6. I disable the device administartor. Yes. Its a bad move but it saved me tons of mah so I would just have to make sure that my phone not to be stolen.

7. Close all running apps when not in use. My screen brightness is somehow on 30 to 40%.

8 I always activate battery saving. The MID one. I think it helps.

I am on wifi always. Surfing the net and checking FB feeds. I dont play much but Whenever possible, I play heavy games. I always use my s pen as my daily driver to navigate my screen while my earphones plunged and firing music. So yeah. I usually get 5 to 6 sot or without s pen I could go more.. Idle drain is 1% in ever 2 hours.

I came from a Nexus 6 and it's my 4th day with the Note 8.

The phone was charged 19h42min and 4hours and something SoT.

Screen set to Qhd+ with brightness set to 30-40%.

GPS was kept on as well as Wi-Fi.

Carrier signal was 1-2 bars only (basement are not friendly for that..).

Honestly I'm not really sure if that is a good number or not. (Exynos variant of that helps..).

I think with the Nexus 6 and same use I would be at around 25-30% right now.

If someone can help me understand if my numbers should be considered normal I would greatly appreciate!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gizmoe:
Battery is very subjective. I use my phone as I wish without limitations and I can get 6-8 hrs SOT depending on when and what I use it for. A factor I see in your setup that would cause issues is your cell signal. Each devices ability to manage and maintain a signal are different so you can't really compare on this level. I bet if you had full bars the whole time you would gain an hour in the long run.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Rogue apps, longer standby time, poor reception, brighter screen, higher resolution, etc...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] j_hansen:
rouge apps and poor reception is a killer alright, but I run in performance mode which is highest screen resolution as far as I know, brightness is set to auto and I also manually adjust but I do find it weird if people can't get at least 6 hours.

Individual use and set-up I guess, but if you get less than 6 you're doing it wrong in my opinion
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] WaxysDargle:
4+ hrs of SOT is perfectly acceptable. this is a narrow phone with a relatively small battery and tons of features. those features will cost you. if you don't like it, get a oneplus. battery usage is way too subjective for you to compare to anyone elses. comparing will only end with more frustration as your results will be inconsistent.
