[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] whyme45125:
Maybe you read it wrong or I worded it wrong or I read your response wrong? Google not Verizon made loophole language in their warranty as to be able to get out of RMA and warranty claims of screen issues. AND Google is refusing to RMA devices for blue shift, not Verizon. Verizon chat and floor supervisor told me google needs to straighten this out once and for all, Verizon is going through a lot of turn around and themselves afraid of class action lawsuit like note 7 was his quote. That's why the class action I think, from what I've read myself. The law firm is trying to protect those who may have these issues with their screen and not get taken care of by Google but see all these people being taken care of by Verizon. I personally am waiting on another device from Verizon, I'm not here to bash google just share my experiences and opinions on what may be going on and help others out. BTW I haven't told one person on here or in person to not buy the device or to join the class action lawsuit or that the lawsuit is a good idea or has any weight to it. I'm actually advising my dad to buy the smaller pixel 2. If google wouldn't have released those perfect phones from the factory so we could compare side by side this would be a non issue for a lot if not most users and google could possibly chalk it up as working as intended but when you see someone else's amazing phone the same as your blue one it's frustrating hence all the discussion of panel lottery again. I don't think this class action will go anywhere. But by all means I wouldn't put someone down who does join the lawsuit, that's their prerogative. Everyone values their experiences, time, money, priorities, possessions differently from each other. Side note is this all blown out of proportion? Quite possibly but we don't know yet. I look at the reddit poll and some 63+% have blue shift between 0 and 29 degrees and the Google manager I spoke to on the phone agreed that 0-29 degrees is not a sharp angle. Also it's been noted and said on here there's a huge variance in uniformity of the blue shift if it was uniform, it may be acceptable to most users. And lastly an acknowledgement of quality control issue and a guarantee to clean it up would go A LONG WAY to bolster the consumers confidence in their standing by and the handling of their devices. Also if Google were to change the wording of the warranty to assure consumers they're covered with blue screens and all the screen issues the law firm would go away.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AndrasLOHF:
My favorite finesse line from Google regarding the new warranty is the statement about not having to pay a deductible for warranty approved defects. I don't know about you guys...but I've never paid anything for an issue with something that was inside warranty. It's as smooth a line as items in the grocery store labeled sugar/gluten/fat/etc free when what is packaged naturally has no sugar/gluten/fat/etc. Google drippin' in finesse.:laugh::silly:

Amazon UK do them. Black, gold and blue. I ordered a blue one to contrast with my midnight black. There's also a cheaper third party s pen by "AWINNER" in black, blue and grey that's listed as "official" and looks identical to Samsung's own.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
Check eBay and Amazon. Just check reviews to make sure they are genuine.

Also, the Note 8 and Note 7 E-learning are exactly thr same. The only difference is the color. The Note 7 black S-Pen has a metallic black cap, and the Note 8 black S-Pen is a glossy black cap.

I bought a brand new black Note 7 S-Pen for $10 to keep as a back up. That and it came with the replacement nibs and tool, which by themselves cost $15 elsewhere.

***WARNING***

Anyone using eBay to purchase universal mounts for the Kaiser/Tilt. I'm posting this because of what happened to me, and think everyone should AVOID this company. ( http://myworld.ebay.com/colordrives/ ). It's been 3 weeks since making payment, and they keep giving me the run-a-round. Said they shipped it, but have NO shipping info like a tracking number. Then promised to ship a replacement, and again, NOTHING! If I can keep ONE person from using this company in the future, then this post was a success and vindication for being scammed.

Again, AVOID colordrives if possible. http://myworld.ebay.com/colordrives/ :mad:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jimmyy:
Sorry to hear about your experience with "Colordrive"...

It's weird cause I've done 4 purchases from him in the past 2 months and I always received tracking number and fast shipping.

I've actually purchased from the two ebay members mentioned and no problems.

I hope this gets solved soon.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ronfin44:
Yeah, I just ordered another one from a different seller. I have one for my Tilt, but need a spare. Still pissed I got ripped-off by these douchebags, but I should get reimbursed by PayPal down the road once my claim goes through.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jackburnt:
I got the same exact one, except mine came with a car charger as well. It was 9 bucks total (with shipping).

Works great.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ronfin44:
I think they over-sold what they had in-stock. I drive for UPS. I know all about shipping and the problems that can incur, so when they lied to me the first two times and I brought it to their attention, they just ignored it and promised to ship another one, which hasn't happened. If they were out of stock and didn't have it, they should've said so up front and I wouldn't have gotten so pissed. Stuff happens, that's life, but be honest with the customer. Don't make excuses as to why it's taking almost 3 weeks to ship an already-paid-for-item. Now I know why a 1/3 of their feedback is negative. I'll never use them again, and like I said, I hope Word of Mouth from this rant keeps a few customers from using them and experiencing what I have. WOM is more powerful than people realize.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jay2TheRescue:
Probably would have been best to check the f/b before you bought. That's what its there for...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] SacTilt:
Interesting. I have purchased from him a couple of times without a single problem. Rapid shipment each time.

Granted it wasn't for a charger or mount, so maybe that's the issue.

Good luck in your resolution.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ronfin44:
I did, but no company has a perfect score, and after 200,000 sales these guys can't be perfect. I just fall into the 1/3 that got scammed. It's a risk you take using eBay no matter what the feedback is.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ko0ky:
I've bought from Colordrives several times and always had a good experience with them. Information like this might make me think 2nd.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ronfin44:
I seriously think they over sold their stock. They wont even reply to my email in regards to a tracking number, or any shipping info for that matter. I'm glad others had success with them, but I hope you don't go back to them and risk ending-up in my situation. I hope a LOT of people avoid this company. It's not a professional way to do business. :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] internetadam4657:
assuming that you paid with paypal i would go to them and dispute the transaction and get your money back since they failed to ship. if you used any other system but still used a credit card, call your bank and file a chargeback. you need to get companies where it hurts: right in their wallets. if you dispute the charges then you will win since they never shipped. if they try to give you a tracking number that is falsified, then they are in it even deeper than they were before.

Thanks for this, just got it running on my Blu Vivo 5. Only problem is I can't download certain apps on the Play Store (letgo & OfferUp) Is there any way to get these installed? Rom is working great other than that. :good:

[Blu Vivo 5] lionardy-angel:
The error still persists, I've changed rom and recovery and the same thing happens.
[Blu Vivo 5] Mechalikh:
so download the rom again..
[Blu Vivo 5] lionardy-angel:
I already did this, but it did not solve
[Blu Vivo 5] llamasking:
I believe it's because google play detects your devide is modified. Modified devices (if on play protect, you are unverified, you are modified) can't install some apps such as Netflix on the play store. The easiest fix is just to install through an apk.
[Blu Vivo 5] llamasking:
I think the files are unique to your device? Why else would you need to copy them manually.
[Blu Vivo 5] llamasking:
Open TWRP, select Wipe, and wipe.

Then flash. It will work.
[Blu Vivo 5] llamasking:
How did you install the ROM?

I'm on the BLU Vivo 5 and I get a bootloop. Luckily I can revert back to stock 6.0.
[Blu Vivo 5] vgeohn:
Got the same until I installed the patch + stock marshmallow firmware/mddb folders
[Blu Vivo 5] llamasking:
I did install the patch and I still bootloop.

If I don't install the patch, there is no change.

Can you send me the hash for your ROM zip?

I got it to work.

I put in fresh firmware/mmdb folders and it now works. I think the copy was not complete as I just used ES File Explorer to get it copied.

This time, I copied with Root Explorer then booted into TWRP to copy to my PC.

The x829 doesn't support band 20. Swedish telecom operators are also using this band for lte. I'm not aware how intense they do though.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] luksson:
That i know, but I cant get 3g working, with some modem files i have a steady signal but I can not get data connection
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] jman0:
Are you using a MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator)? You know, one mobile company that relies on another one's network. In that case, you may also need to activate data roaming in order to get data connection. Also, you should check whether you APN settings are ok.

If you get no connection at all, rather than get 2G or 3G, but not 4G, then I don't think it's a modem or band issue, but a SIM setup issue. Check your settings with your provider.

[Huawei Watch 2] Ziggy50:
Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew when the Huawei Watch 3 might be released? I like everything about the 2 apart from the lack of proper waterproofing. I am tempted to get the gear sport as it is perfect for me but the three reasons I haven’t gotten it yet are because number 1, it has very limited apps, 2, it only has s voice and not Bixby and 3, it has no speaker. One thing that was really important for me was the speaker so I could play music without headphones. I am willing to spend 300$ on the Watch. The gear sport would have been perfect apart from those three things. The two problems with the Huawei Watch 2 were number 1, the lack of rotating bezel or anything like that and also 2, the low battery life. I loved everything else like all the activity tracking, google to talk to and the great app support. The once main reason I couldn’t get the gear sport was because of no speaker. I know it’s hard to make it waterproof and with a speaker but Apple have done it with the Apple Watch 3. If not the Huawei Watch 3, does anyone know of any other upcoming android Smartwatchs or other that might be coming soon? Will I have to wait till next February until the Huawei 3 I wonder... Thanks and I hope someone can help.
[Huawei Watch 2] spenstberg:
I was also close to buy the samsung gear sport because of the water proofing. But as you say it is sad that you can not use it for speaking. And no 3G/4G i think.

I have not heard anything of a Huawei Watch 3

What I like with my Huawei watch 2 is that it has everything except for the waterproofing and that it does not have spotify offline yet.

And because all of the sensors the battery life is not so good. It is nice that you can use it stand alone as a phone with 4G, but actually you can only use it emergency phone because with 4G enable the battery drains fast. You have to enable 4G when you need it....
[Huawei Watch 2] akwaba972xda:
My solution for having Phone + data for all the day is to force cellular in 3G in watch prefs (instead of 4G). 4G drain battery really more faster than 3G, wich is good enough for "ok google" interactivy...
[Huawei Watch 2] spenstberg:
OK. Thanks. I will test that :)
[Huawei Watch 2] SlyUK:
I really want a Huawei Watch 3 similar in design to the OG Huawei Watch with updated specs thats all.
[Huawei Watch 2] grimloktt:
I've been showering with my watch on I didn't realize it wasn't water proof! :-0
[Huawei Watch 2] matthewgwilt:
[QRCODE][/QRCODE]

It is water proof..

- IP68 certified - dust/water proof over 1.5 meter and 30 minutes

- Water resistant up to 1 meter and 30 minutes
[Huawei Watch 2] sunking101:
It's water and dust resistant, nothing more. Showering isn't advisable.

As for the Watch 3 I hope it's a sporty looking one like the Watch 2. I think the Watch 1 looks like a midrange Timex. I want a big and rugged watch!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Shady282:
I was thinking of getting Mate 9, and i just noticed that there are not much development of custom roms like other devices such as LG and samsung, is there a reason or just the mate series not getting much attention?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] 5[Strogino]:
First and second both.

Reason - You can build working boot from kernel sources. But camera will not work.

And Mate 9 has not much developers.

But in defense of phone I can say that it is great device. We are able to root and Magisk, install every stock ROM, rebrand between localizations, use Xposed. Stock ROMs are good, quick and have many useful functions.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Shady282:
Oh thank you for your reply. :good:

can please explain what does the "rebrand between localizations" means? because i ve been reading it everywhere but not able to understand what does it mean and its purpose? and does that void warranty?

Also, someone told me on a forum that if you bought huawei from a specific region like Europe and you are using it outside of europe, as in not european simcard, you will not receive updates ? only until you use a sim related to where you bought the phone from? is this related to the "rebrand between localizations" ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] sutty86:
You are correct there is a few variants, Chinese normally get update faster believe it's running beta 8.0 atm

I have had many flagships in past 5 years, all oneplus, s7, s8, LG g5, 6p,

Pixel is my backup phone.

If you can get the mate 9 at a good price I swapped mine for an iPhone 7, as don't like Apple and prefer big screens.

It's a cracking phone.

The os is on par with oxygen imo.

Screen is great 1080p,

Battery life is exceptional 7hours sot out and about.

Rooted and using magisk for Android pay.

Ohhh and has stereo speakers
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] grinch247:
Absolutely fantastic battery life and fast phone! ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] rndchef:
+1 Great phone! I am running stock longer than any rom in 10 years! Think about all the things you can do in your life without constantly tinkering with a phone :laugh:
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] 5[Strogino]:
Rebrand between localizations means that you are able to buy Chinese model MHA-AL00 with Chinese ROM and rebrand to world ROM and vice versa.

Models are same by hardware.

About sim and updates - yeah, problem still exists. To get updates quickly after they released need phone with proper region/localization and proper sim.

So, I live in Russia and have Russian operator's sim. I bought European Mate 9 cause Huawei doesn't sell Mate's series in Russia (Russia is C10 in Huawei customization). My chances to get update on my MHA-L29C432 faster than European owners are very small. Fortunately, it is not problem to me.

P.s. I told that chances are small but they are not null. Huawei rolls on some ROMs to all after some time (about month)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Shady282:
Oh but a lot of users reported that huawei does not have a good customer support in case of issues with the phone and such. is it true?

What about updates? do you expect getting oero and so on OS ? since there are not a lot of custom roms?

tho i didn't like the fact the regional update lock based on the sim card region you are using.

but i love the good SOT.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] WaxPaper:
Are devices in 2017 -- like the Samsung J3 (SM-J327P) -- still vulnerable to screen lock bypassing via the ADB shell or other methods? What I'm wondering is, are some of the methods discussed in sources like this one (methods 3 and later, as I'm assuming the bootloader on this phone is locked) still viable? Or is these exploits pretty much outdated when it comes to today's devices?

It's almost impossible to find reliable information via Googling because there are so many "ad-vertorials" with this subject; lots of ads masquerading as tutorials, in which case the exploits they use may not even work. The Google problem is compounded by the fact that there are so many keyword results that deal with bypassing the lock screen via "legitimate" methods, like simply resetting the phone or using Google/Samsung authentication to bypass...

What I'm trying to figure out (even hypothetically) is if the methodology I linked earlier in the post is still viable, considering a phone like the J3 Emerge's bootloader, Samsung shell and Android version. I've heard that private investigators and lawyers are still telling their clients that something like a PIN lock is easy to bypass in the hands of a professional, but I believe their opinion of a professional are local tech security guys who advertise Android services like this...

But again, we're not talking about something the client could do himself, like resetting the authentication via Google or Samsung services. I'm talking about simple screen lock bypassing via ADB, as outlined in examples similar to the ones linked above.

Thanks.
