[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Where does one receive a second hand Pixel? If it was a hand-me-down couldn't you just ask the user to log in and remove their account from the device? Even if you bought it from a stranger they could have given you their Google password and then immediately changed it after you removed the account yourself. And just for curiosity, how much does a second hand Pixel cost?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] tim455:
it would probably help some people, yes.

If you post them, perhaps try posting them to a few different file sharing places; ie MEGA, rapidshare, etc so they can be shared for a while without being taken down.

Thanks for helping the community.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] K1ngerr0r:
hey man, im in the same kind of situation and not sure what to do, was gonna use one these guys if i didnt get something sorted soon.

im on pixel 32gb, sailfish 7.1.2 with 5th august 2017 patch, im unable to side load or get past anything with the guides on here or online, either due to bad apks or just wrong instructions, keep hitting brick walls and the guides and videos are little to no help, if u would please share these files, it would be great help :D, if u cant post a link, could u pm me plz ? thanks a ton!!! :)
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] kmsoldiers4:
Well, the phone was givin to me by an old boss that could no longer afford to pay my hourly, under the table wage. I'm not sure where he received it from. Second hand cost? Well he owed me 75 bucks for a few hours of unloading & loading box trucks, so $75 bucks I guess...
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
You're joking right? An old boss.. under the table.. not sure where it came from.. 75 bucks.. come on.. this is a 700 dollar phone. Where did it really come from? You should know before you use it. Otherwise throw it out. It's not worth the bad karma. Just my opinion.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] kmsoldiers4:
Yeah, 75... buy some old 68 year old that does a ****load of moving services...
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Still not worth it. Do you think it's legit? Honestly. Throw it out. You'll feel a whole lot better in the long run. Anyone that needs to frp bypass is asking for trouble in the scheme of things.. but that's just me and my silly moral values. Take it for what it's worth. Good luck to you.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] kmsoldiers4:
Wtf are you even doing on this developer site if you don't want to have access to files and features no-one else or very few have or can ev3n have the chance to get.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
As I said.. good luck to you. We all choose the road we are meant to travel. They might not be the same but they are ours. Amf.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] kmsoldiers4:
Ok. Tomorrow (later today) lol now that my days off are back N' Cracking, I will post this make **** guide I have and, also upload any files I have on my pc to a file sharing site. Any suggestions on the file sharing site?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] sarahnrexx:
im interested!!

Hey so im totally stuck on 7.1.2 and would be interested in the files and lil help if possible....:)
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] KittyRgnarok:
>Given you their Google password and then immediately change it.

Do you realize how wrong this is?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Of course I do. But if you sell a phone without removing your account then you must pay the price or refund the money. No?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] KittyRgnarok:
Doesn't matter if you sold the phone. Anything under the table is implied as is. No amount of money is worth your own person security. You should never under any circumstance tell anyone any of your passwords ever for any reason whatsoever

Edit: the right thing to do of course would be to remove accounts before frp or to be on-site when they set up their phone but not everyone even knows about frp and even less of the general public will know how to actually remove accounts
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Under the table? What exactly does that mean? Illegal? You either delete your emails and change your pwd or pay the price. Let's not get crazy here. It's just an email password for perhaps 2 minutes to make some money that is "under the table". If you can't stand the heat then get out of the kitchen.

Under any circumstances, ever, whatsoever? Come on.. call me paranoid. Figure out how to do it safely. I'm sure we have the mental capacity to do something like that. Or refund the money.. simple.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] KittyRgnarok:
No I'm not saying illegal I'm saying any direct transaction from one person to another like anything not done through an actual retailer. And no you really shouldn't be giving out passwords at all for any reason. Having that information for 2 minutes can create a window for someone to figure out your typical password structure or cross reference a fair bit of information that could lead to access to a lot more than what was intended. Again I'm not saying that not properly wiping the device so someone else can use it is okay, but I am saying it is not the responsibility of the seller to give you any passwords or personally identifiable information. It is also the responsibility of the buyer to know and ask about potential frp situations or at least understand the implied "as is" condition when buying really anything directly off of someone else.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
You make a good point. Although I still think the seller has the responsibility to sell the device so it can be used by the buyer. That seems to be implied by selling it. Almost like I'm selling you my car but.. well sorry dude .. you can't have the keys. Not my problem but yours since the car is in your driveway.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] KittyRgnarok:
Well selling a car is kinda different and has actual legal restrictions to prevent that such as title transfers etc
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Yes of course. Besides the fact that a car costs a little bit more than a $75 under the table device. But the point is that both parties need to do the right thing to make the transaction valid. Otherwise it's null and void, or should be.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] KittyRgnarok:
Exactly it's just when ur in a grey area like phones that simply doesn't always happen and every phone can be extensively different in how they handle hard resets so not everyone will even know about frp or similar systems. At least in this case there's one or two ways of breaking it if you look hard enough.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffrimerman:
I saw a few articles so I did the process. It's been a day but maybe it will take a few days maybe to see. I downloaded a terminal emulator app, ran some commands and it seemed to change the resolution.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawstorant:
1. Scaling looks bad

2. There are issues with recents view

3. Didn't see any difference in battery life.

IMO not worth it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffrimerman:
So far I don't see any difference in battery life either. If the screen brightness is the same then it's using the same amount of energy for lighting. I suppose processing is less but unless you're running an app that wants to control greater than 1080p there probably is no difference in processing either. I'll change it back in a few days unless something wonderful happens :p

Thanks for the input
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
I tried an app that doesn't lower the resolution but it does let you control disabling how many pixels on the display are active. I dropped it to 50% and saw improved battery life without too much of a loss on the display.

Google play link

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=screen.dimmer.pixelfilter
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffrimerman:
Oh wow that's interesting. I wonder if it just looks like it's a little dimmer
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
Reason I went with the app is even though the resolution is at 1080p all pixels are still hiring. So it doesn't do any good. I never saw any improvement in battery improvement at 1080
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terry_mccann:
I tried everything, but I never saw any change in battery life. Neither brightness, resolution, kernels, custom roms, underclocking nor disabling apps.....none of it has any influence, once the device is in use battery drops just as fast no matter what I do.

If it wasnt for the cheap price I payed and the rest of the device still being competitive Id already gotten rid of the N6 just for that fact.

From new I barely managed a day with normal use.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffrimerman:
Yeah, I got mine 2 years ago for $190 so I've gotten my use out of it. I'm thinking of the Mate 9. I see some used ones under $300. So far the N6 goes a full day and still runs fine for now.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xKTx:
Hi guys, I just got my pixel 2 xl today and it seems that I have a wifi connectivity issue. It keeps disconnecting me on my wifi and then connecting every few seconds. Anyone else having the same issues?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Lt.Tealc:
I experienced the same issue on my first day, however the next day it's gone. I had my new phone for 5 days and I haven't seen the wifi disconnect again!!! My Bluetooth was doing the same thing too but no more weird!!!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Migamix:
change your router channel to a less congested one (or just a different one), this solved my problem years ago
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ieatabiscuit:
You beat me to it! Another tip, if you have a router with DDWRT you can set a channel range it can switch on. Main reason I keep my old WRT600N in service!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] SilverTattoo:
It's kinda weird, but yes I DO WANT to have the pop-up notifications on top of the screen on homescreen, lockscreen and on apps as well. The best thing I would desire is the bubble banner as of the stock sms app (when edge lighting is on) or the banner with reply/mark as read options. And i'd like to apply them to all my message apps such as Viber/Whatsapp/Messenger FB, etc.

I've tried many times, turning on and off many options. It just doesnt work. Or at least not consistently.

Im on Superman/Batman Rom, preferrably Notorious Kernel.; and Nova Prime launcher.

If anyone can explain how it works, how I would get them with which rom/kernel/launcher/apps I would appreciate it very much. Sr for bad English. Thanks guys.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Jonathanlc2005:
I'm having some concerns. I got the essential phone a few days ago. The first one had a 6 hour screen time, but over 2 days it would not activate on Sprint so Sprint and I agreed to exchange it. The replacement got hot and now I got the 3rd one. This one is really odd now. When it boots up it doesn't automatically download anything. I have to physically unlock it so it can get my emails and all. Then yesterday it had the shortest battery life and demanded downloading apps over WiFi. I let it download all night and it still didn't download everything... and I found the battery really used up badly without even touching the phone. It also won't download software updates claiming it's the latest. Security update is September 5th.

Also... Anyone else notice it states encrypted without actually activating encryption?View attachment 4322568View attachment 4322569View attachment 4322570
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Jonathanlc2005:
Also it says 3 hours but it actually lasted 20 mins

Forgot to include thisView attachment 4322595
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Seamonkey79:
I've not had any battery issues, but I just got the phone again yesterday, had to return one because it had a bad microphone. I have noticed, however, that I tend to get notifications when I pick up the phone. Now, like I said, I just got it yesterday, so my experience pool is shallow, but I can't think of a time that notifications were waiting for me when I picked it up rather than showing up when I picked it up - like the movement is kicking something into functioning again.

As for encryption, I think all Android devices are encrypted out of the box now, and have been since Marshmallow? They tried with Lollipop, if I recall, but performance was hurt too much. I think it's a requirement to ship a device with Google's app infrastructure now.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Jonathanlc2005:
Can anyone confirm that it shows encrypted on thiers too?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] 1Krima:
Anyone know how to disable the encryption on this phone?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] cam30era:
I suspect that it's like Nexel and Pixel phones. If so, have to wait for SuperSU and/or factory images, so one can extract the kernel and modify it.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Jonathanlc2005:
I'm not stating it's a problem... I'm just asking for a screenshot
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] graffixnyc:
As stated already, all Android devices are encrypted out of the box since marshmallow. So every device running marshmallow and up will say encrypted because it is encrypted be default. There is no way to disable it without a modified boot image.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] anandlal:
This is the same for me after each restart. I also have to unlock the phone first. I don't have a problem with that though. I actually prefer it this way in the event that the phone is lost or stolen. It will not be updated without first being unlocked.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] MrWunderbaum:
Not an issue, a feature...

Does anyone have the oreo OTA file for exynos S8+ (G955F)? Would greatly appreciate if you could upload it and post a link to the file since the beta spots are full now.

Thanks in advance!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] DrQuestion:
My dear bearded friend! Oreo wasnt event released for Exynos...there isnt even a release date. There is a flashable file for TWRP but you will loose guarantee and knox so i would wait.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] biggerbeard:
I can assure you it has been, I've seen screenshots of people running it on this version. Just no one seems to be uploading the file. What twrp file are you referring to? I've lost Knox a long time ago lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sofir786:
You can't do anything with the ota file right now, people have tried to flash it through recovery twrp and stock and it fails on signature verification, so unless you can get past this issue there's no point.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sofir786:
I've seen that, but it's not quite what the op was asking about, also that would require you to trip Knox which anyone who wants to stay complete stock won't want to do
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] DrQuestion:
its not released officially. some people tricked the samsung server and obtained the file or something like that.

my dear friend, the link was for the op that has tripped already Knox not for the people that want to stay stock.

I installed embroidery software for my Bernina. I immediately received a message stating I had to update the drivers in WMDC before the software could finish installing to 6.1. Since that time, my device goes through the motions of syncing. I can look at the files on my device. eWallet syncs, but nothing else. On the device, I have the following message:

Result: There has been a change made on your server that requires you to resynchronize al items on your device. Please perform a manual sync.

Please tell me a work around other than rewriting the entire device!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] whozethere:
whoa

Amazing the problem is mentioned on at&t board, but no one here has ever had it happen. The at&t fixes have not worked. The fix in the guide to updating the device has not worked. Sigh.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] joshkoss:
I have a 8525 and sometimes would like to think myself as somewhat dangerous with my knowlege of WM software and flashing, but I have no clue!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pbk105:
I am assuming that you are talking about syncing to a PC with XP. If that assumption is correct, try deleting and recreating the partnership with your device.

With the device disconnected, in Activesync:

File > Delete Mobile device.

Also be sure you have the latest AS client on your PC.

here is the thing, I want to use G2 in my car, that not difficult, but i want the G2 can auto power on/off when i plug in/off the charge

I know it must be fix the system to do that function, but i have no idea of the keyword to find the post at XDA

Is there any one can tell me?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] PacyLiu:
Hey, guys.As you know, Google Pixel 2 has the same CPU and screen resolution with OnePlus 5. So I am sure about that Pixel 2's ROM could be used for OnePlus 5 by making a little changes. I would be grateful if someone make one.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
The Pixel ROM is pretty much stock android.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] PacyLiu:
Yeah, I love using stock Android in Pixel phones very much.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Devhux:
Different camera, audio setup, etc might make it tricky. Also note that things like unlimited photo storage at original quality won't work.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] PacyLiu:
nexus.xml would make that work.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Devhux:
If you're saying that's how you'd get the unlimited photos feature, then you're mistaken. Despite the Photos app saying you have unlimited storage, it actually does use storage. Google patched it (for obvious reasons).

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] PacyLiu:
In fact I don't mind whether this feature will include in ported ROM. I just want to experience Pixel NavBar, its system accent color, and a settings app without custom settings which is just like in Third Party ROMs, and the most important, Oreo.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] PacyLiu:
Thanks, but I hate the picture of GZOSP in Settings: About Phone. If you can provide a way to remove it, I will be appreciate it.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] gianton:
ROM is decrypted, once you flash it with the correct TWRP there's no data loss. You have to format data only the first time if you were encrypted, after that flashing as usual with no data loss.

Except Volte which I can't test, everything else is working great.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] PacyLiu:
Ok, I will flash it tommorow.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] gianton:
You'd need to follow these steps to flash the GZOSP ROM.

- Make a full backup including all data in your internal storage

- Flash in fastboot this TWRP

- Flash latest full firmware Zip from here

- In recovery format data (this will wipe your internal storage so first MAKE A BACKUP)

- Reboot into recovery

- Wipe System, Data, Cache and Dalvik cache

- Copy ROM, Gapps and any other zip via MTP in TWRP

- Flash latest ROM

- Flash Gapps (nano package recommended)

- Flash Magisk or SuperSU (optional)

- Reboot and profit! ;)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] PacyLiu:
Great! By the way, If you are good at porting ROMs, I still hope you could port a Pixel 2's or Pixel's firmware for OnePlus 5. Or just make official LineageOS look like the Pixel's firmware, which has a Pixel NavBar, blue accent color and some of the Pixel features.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] more_than_hater:
Thanks for your posts, Gianton. One question. Do you think this port of clear android worth to exchange with OOS stable? currently 4.5.14 + magisk. At my previous phone it was worth cuz no further updates from xiaomi so i was at oreo.

Oh, and also, does android pay works?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] gianton:
Personally it's worth it, I like pure Android with latest software over OOS. You can give this ROM a try and test Android Pay too as it's not supported in Greece so can't test it.
