[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] tuffluck:
I really couldn't find a place to put this so thought I would ask here. On a Nexus 6p currently, considering the Note 8 or the 5t. I think the biggest difference between the two outside of software is going to be the quality of screen, the 2k on the 5t plus the quad hd on the note 8. has anyone compared their oneplus 5 to say a galaxy s8+, and how crazy is the difference? i've seen the samsung's latest phones in person, but nothing from oneplus, so i honestly don't know how they compare. reading pocketnow or gsmarena they seem to give the 1+ a little flack for not having quad hd screens, but how much that really means to the naked eye i do not know. Thanks for any feedback.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
I personally don't see a difference in 1440p vs 1080p (coming from the 6P and Pixel XL to the OP5), so resolution isn't a huge deal to me. The display on this device looks great. I'd also go for the 5/T simply due to the amount of development for it as well.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
Reviewers always pick on a device that doesn't have the latest and greatest.

On such small screens it's pretty hard to spot the differences. And it's not like everything becomes jaggy and blurry just because it's Full HD instead of QHD.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] MrWilsonxD:
These two comments are spot on. In recent memory, I've had a note 4, Axon 7, Nexus 6P, S8+, and Pixel XL, Pixel 2XL, all at quad hd on amoled.. I haven't been able to tell any difference between those displays resolution and the displays found on my oneplus 3, oneplus 5, Moto Z Play, and a few other 1080P amoled displays.. The display is too small to notice a difference. Pixel density is still satisfyingly high.

[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R@ilgun:
My Galaxy S3 Neo (s3ve3g) currently running OFFICIAL CM12.1, apparently without any reason, when I install an app or many apps consecutively,

goes in bootloop so I can't use it anymore unless I format and reinstall the ROM. I already tried to just wipe dalvik, data and cache but with no result. The only way to fix the problem is to reinstall from zero the complete ROM. A friend of mine told me the maybe the reason of the problem is that I flashed too many and too many times the ROMs so the internal SDcard has been corrupted.

Can anyone tell me what could be the reason of the problem and maybe how to fix it?

Hi,

I'm looking for disable Playstore Selfupdate. I tried old method by disable in Playstore Smali but it doesn't working anymore on Playstore 8.x and change name code version to a very high one in apktool.yml breaks Google Play services because of Playstore signature check...

Does someone have an idea how to Disable by a Magisk module ?
[Magisk] iPusak Gaoq™:
If i'm not mistaken you can do it with any file manager that have root privilege...

Just go to root/data/app and look for com.android.vending-1...if you found it then make another folder called com.android.vending-2 and gave the same permissions the original folder...that should prevent google playstore to automatically update itself....

You can try this and see if its working...

Hi there,

I already have opened a topic about my problem a couple of days ago here:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-3/help/gt-p5200-cm-13-0-beta-2-default-to-t3690326

Unfortunately nobody seems to know an answer to my question in this subforum. Therefore I thougt it might be an idea to repeat my question in a more general forum. It would be great if I could solve this somehow.

My device is a Galaxy Tab 3 (GT-P5200) running CM 13.0. As I have written in my previous thread, I have to activate the speaker manually when I'm phoning with somebody. Is it possible to make a permanent change to the system so that the speaker is active per default during phone calls?

Thanks in advance.

How to install step by step? Any special requirements for installing oq just Flashtool flash? I am running official Nougat with unlocked bootloader without TA backup and have the DRM problems, camera , 1%/ h battery consuming in stand by. Can you give some details? Can I just flash the ROM over this one or do I nood root and other special apps?

Honestly, I can't give you details on the performance. I'm too busy these days to mess around with my phone but I can tell you that I have run into zero problems with them. They function better than official updates. There shouldn't be DRM or camera problems.

To install, you need to use TWRP so just follow the instructions to get that installed, wipe all data and then install the Rom!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rdy2go:
Most of the newly released builds are on top of 3.08 ROM which renders them unusable for me:

- TCMP/FLV problems (crash.txt)

- Esmertec JBed problems (most of them - crash when launching midlets)

- SRS WOW HD problems: device becomes silent until uninstalled, sound is crappy without any processing on my headphones...

None of the mentioned problems applies to 3.02 ROMs.

Tried 8 different ROMs and I want to share my findings: if you want most of your device - choose one of the 3.02 ROMs (Sleuth for instance) and avoid 3.08 ROMs.

What is your experience?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Klash6543:
I've recently activated my Google Pixel 2 XL on Sprint and I was wondering if there was anyway to active Sprint calling Plus ( talking with data at same time) like on the Galaxy S8. Also the WiFi calling option is invisible. Did some reading and it appears that a Sprint sim deactivates the option. It's unfortunate that Sprint doesn't seem to care about people bringing their own devices. Anyone have thoughts on this?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] 26kick:
Same here. Huge disappointment. Been with Sprint since they started and want to use my new Pixel 2 XL but found out it's handicapped at Sprint. Here's what's on the Sprint fact sheet for our phone:

Capabilities of the Pixel II XL

Calling Plus: No

•DSU: Yes

•HD Voice: Yes

•HPUE: Yes

•Visual Voicemail: No

•Voice Call Continuity: No

•Voice Roaming: Yes

•Wi-Fi Calling: No

•Wireless Data Roaming: Yes

*LTE Plus does not support talking and surfing the Web at the same time unless also connected to Wi-Fi.

I brought my Moto X PE to Sprint 2 years ago and have been without these important features for too long. I think, though a little more expensive, Project Fi is in our future. I'm going to try it over the next month. Apparently you can switch between carriers with the eSIM and Fi app.

C'mon Sprint, support the Pixels!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Klash6543:
Thanks for the info man. Yea it's super depressing how Sprint handicaps this phone. Just the thought that I could put in a different Sim from another carrier and get those features bugs me lol.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] beezar:
How does sprint do it for the S8? I thought VoLTE required a network upgrade on their part which would therefore make it available to all phones
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sharmajay:
I found a way to make VoLTE calling work on my unlocked s8 plus may be it helps on pixel too

1. In Nova launcher add widget -> Activities (add LTE test and enhanced lte services)

2. Add LTE Test -> click VoLTE Test UI-> turn on first 2 setting.

3. Add Enhanced LTE Services and select this option.

4. Restart

---------- Post added at 05:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 AM ----------

For flashing to critical partition you need to unlock them. The command is similar to unlock boot-loader.

fastboot flashing unlock_critical

And to lock it again

fastboot flashing lock_critical
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] sarcoptic:

It never seems to complete successfully. Any tips?
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mrcooter:
If you haven't done so already, I think it's "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" to get all partitions to flash correctly. Beware as it will wipe internal data though. Simply put the standard unlocking of bootloader actually doesn't unlock everything.
[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] attunezero:
I already did unlock_critical. I finally got it to work. What I had to do is not use flash_all.bat but instead manually run every command in the batch file. Any time it failed I rebooted the phone bootloader and tried the failing command again. Eventually all of them succeeded and the phone booted normally.

[Essential Phone ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] avd:
No. You have to execute the script.
