[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] JeffDC:
So I've looked around for some time for a reasonable method to install Galaxy Labs on my rooted 8+ Galaxy S7 SM-G930, now a '955F' after the 8+ rom install. This rom works very smoothly so far.

Not finding a simple method, I hope someone comes up with one though (?), I went with a simple invisible icon method I've been using for some years for other phones.

The process is pretty simple:

1. Download IconChanger - free on Google Play store.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jy.iconchanger.ad&hl=en

2. Make a 1 pixel x 1 pixel, 72 dpi, transparent gif, and label it something like 'blank.gif' and get it into your phone downloads (SD card) directory.

3. Open up Icon Changer, tap the center of the screen and it will take you to the Applications screen of apps you have installed on your phone.

4. Select the app you wish to make a new icon. The screen will update to the apps icon at the top of the page. Select "Change" and navigate to where you stored the blank.gif. Select that .gif

5. The screen will update, any on my phone it is a white screen. You will not see your transparent gif. Select 'Crop' at the top right of the screen. The page will update back to the initial Icon/Title screen, and you will notice that the icon is transparent, looking like a white and gray checker board. See photo 1 below.

6. Select the title, and if you wish to have a visible title for the Icon, type in what you wish. If you wish no visible title, delete out the text. Press OK at the top right and the icon will take a few seconds to be created and placed on your home screen.

The third image has the transparent icons, in the same place as the original screen shot.

Tip: It will help if you have your home screen and it's next over screen generally filled up with icons at the beginning of this process, leaving several blank rows at the top of one of those screens, the new icon will likely be placed at the top left corner of that, or one of those pages. You can select and place it as you wish. If your home screen and other pages are largely empty, it make take you a bit to hunt and peck to find your icon.

Additionally, a 1 x 1, 72 dpi pixel size icon is very small. Unless you really expand it in a photo editor, you will not 'see' it.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] TimmyP:
Have had crashes and "oops" errors in the middle of a stream, like if Im watching a football game.

Gone, totally, in Firefox 57. Highly recommend this over Chrome. This is on a FTVS2 btw.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Sizzlechest:
Do you mean you sideloaded the Firefox apk?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] TimmyP:
Yes.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Sizzlechest:
Can you control things with the remote?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] TimmyP:
Some. Its the same as Chrome: You basically need the mouse cursor for fire tv app to make favorites and then I think you can get to them without the app activated (turn off cursor service in the mouse app). I recommend a different remote tho.

Air-mouse/rf/ir remote/keyboard with a charging otg cable you have 2 billion different options on Amazon... <20 bucks for both. I have one with well placed arrow buttons so its also a game controller.

[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] kungpaoshizi:
Hmmmmm

Isn't there another setting for unlocking it automatically if you turn on the screen within x seconds after locking? Post it on Razerzone.com in the insider community section, a csr rep will see it.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] failteck:
Its set by default to lock automatically after pressing the power button
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] failteck:
It set by default
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mindsclosure:
Did you check your Smart Lock settings (in Security)? That's usually the culprit. Make sure On-body detection, Trusted places, Trusted devices are disabled, then try again and let us know ;)
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] failteck:
ok man
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] failteck:
I haven't even touched the smart unlock but on body detection is on if you put your phone down on a table and double tap the screen it still does it
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mindsclosure:
Sorry, so when all of them are off it still won't lock?

I usually find on-body detection very unreliable anyway. I personally wouldn't recommend keeping that on.
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] failteck:
yeah its super unreliable
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] kungpaoshizi:
Forgot about geo-unlock..

Have you timed it and see how long it takes to lock by itself? Is it still doing it?

I would probably get ahold of a csr too, it is a fairly significant bug(if that's what it is) though I can't say I've seen any other reports in all the reviews...
[Razer Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] jimmygarison:
I usually find on -body detection very pain full anyway. But i'm also not sure also little confuse.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] radionerd:
One of my favorite of the many cool features in Pixel 2's is the addition of an eSIM. 100% love everything about this device: Pixel 2 XL Running beta 8.1, rooted, and dual SIM's!

Anyone else rocking dual SIM's? or using FiSwitch, or other apps to switch between SIM's?

I'm running a Verizon physical SIM (Work's unlimited plan) and joined my family's fi account using the Pixel 2 XL's eSIM for a whopping $25.

fi was easy to setup on their web site. The Wife and Kid were already sharing 2 gigs data. They occasionally would go over 2 gigs, fi automatically adds data @ $10 per gig, and credits back unused leftovers above base.

The base Plan is $30, add additional members @ $25 each. My plan for three devices is $80 total, with 3Gigs of data to share. We are all on WiFi most of the time. When we travel together, I usually turn on Verizon hotspot to save on fi data.

At work I roam around into some iffy network locations, some almost daily, where I lose Verizon service. I stay on Verizon until I go into one of the Verizon dead spots. Then I can switch to the fi eSIM, which usually finds service between one of the three fi carriers in my area. If I travel abroad I'm all set, just tap the screen a few times and jump onto the fi eSIM. It only takes about 20 seconds for the network to switch between the SIM's.

I use Signal messaging, so all of text messages come through on either SIM.

I use a very cool app FiSwitch by XDA forum member [MENTION=4041997]dwitherell[/MENTION] to change carriers within the Fi network, and soon it will have a shortcut to switch SIM's.

The persistent notification tile can show lots of nerdy network info. FiSwitch creator [MENTION=4041997]dwitherell[/MENTION] is rocking a Pixel 2 XP too. He is planning to add a shortcut to the carrier SIM switch on the next update to FiSwitch. This will make it very easy to switch from SIM to eSIM within his App :)

Attached are some thumbnails of Pixel2's Dual SIM screens and fiSwitch in action.

I hope other will post there setups, and if they use FiSwitch or one of the the other switching apps.

If you know someone that's already on Fi, you might consider asking them for a referral. Then you and your friend can each get a $20 credit after the first month. That's better than a poke in the eye ;)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Quie2TP:
Wow, so I didn't even think that the e-sim in this phone would act as a dual SIM set up. That's awesome.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxys:
This is awesome! Kudos
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] CyberpodS2:
I just activated my FI number from my 6p onto my 2XL as discussed above and all is good to go as second carrier. Great idea. Also, switching back to the other phone is just as painless. Nice to have options!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] silesraf:
I have a nexus 6p running project fi,

Now since I bought the Pixel XL 2 off Google store.

Can I activate dual carriers like OP, but also get calls on my Nexus 6P?

Right now I use Verizon on the 2XL and Fi with Call forwarding so both phones ring at the same time.

I also use the Nexus for International calls. I think I would have to activate another number to keep my 6P running Fi. Then have dual SIM on the 2XL and turn off call forwarding.

Understand my Concern??
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] whezzel:
You would need a data only sim for the N6p. This can be ordered for free through the Project Fi app on your phone, under 'Manage Plan'. It shares the data plan with you main device (Pixel 2 XL) so no complicated bill. On your Pixel 2 XL, open the Google Hangouts app settings. Under 'Account' select the account associated with you Project Fi account. Look for 'Messages' under 'Project Fi calls and SMS', and toggle that On. This will let you send and receive SMS/MMS from any device that is logged into Hangouts with your account, even your PC, and you main device can be turned off.

When the data-only sim arrives, activate it and put it in your N6p. Install the Google Hangouts and Google Hangouts Dialer apps. Now you can send and receive SMS/MMS through Hangouts. To receive calls go to Hangouts settings, under 'Account' select the account associated with you Project Fi account. Look for "Incoming phone calls" and toggle that to on. If this is missing just back out of the Hangouts app, then open back to the same settings screen, it should be there now. Now you can receive calls on you N6p. To place calls, open the Hangouts Dialer. Now you can send/receive calls/SMS/MMS on you N6p while your Pixel 2 XL functions like normal. Now both phones will ring and notify when you get a call or text message.

I am currently running this setup on my N6p with 8.1 Develop Preview 1 and Pixel 2 XL 8.0 Nov update.

EDIT: I just pulled the data only sim card out of my N6p and this worked over wifi. I assume this would work for any available data connection, but I've only been able to test with a Projec Fi data only sim, and wifi.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] UniX1rm:
This is great. I have a question. I have my work number as a project fi (Currently using on a different phone). Can I activate it with my pixel 2 xl along side t-mobile, and receive calls from both without having to activate and de-activate?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] dwitherell:
[MENTION=5609185]radionerd[/MENTION] thanks for the shout out :)

While this is fringe on-topic at best, for any that use my little tinkering project (FiSwitch) feel free to hit me up with suggestions/issues/etc. - there are limited feedback channels for this so I'm always happy to see a new one spring up!

Also - a big thanks to [MENTION=5609185]radionerd[/MENTION] for suggesting the creation of those mobile network settings and esim manager shortcuts!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] whezzel:
I cant confirm this, because I dont have a sim card from a different carrier to test, but if you activate Project Fi on your Pixel 2 with eSIM, configure project fi to share your messages and calls with hangouts (see a couple posts up), then you should be able to switch back to Tmobile as you primary sim card.

This SHOULD allow you to send/receive Project Fi calls/text through Google Hangouts/Hangouts Dialer over Tmobile data connection, and send/receive, Tmobile calls/texts through standard messaging app and dialer app.

If you're willing, please give this a try and report back. I'd like to know if this works (the way i think it should) before signing up for another data plan.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Quie2TP:
You know, this is a little off subject. But you could use Google voice for your work number and it's free. Currently I use Google voice for work and then my carrier number is my personal number.

I use an app called voice choice 2.0 that give me the option to choose which number to dial with. I can set up area codes, specific contacts, or a group to dial with each number. Works great.

I'm just looking at this app and project fi for coverage where TMobile doesn't roam on Sprint.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] UniX1rm:
Actually this is what I am doing right at the moment. I can do calls and texts over the "hangouts" app without using the hangouts dialer "unlike using the google voice". The only thing about it is, it is not as reliable when someone calls in because sometimes the app goes to sleep etc. I'll probably play with it and see.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Deeco7:
Just wished I could take advantage of this, but I'm in the UK ;(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] THEbigSWEEN:
[MENTION=4879334]matteosaeed[/MENTION] My setup is I have Fi esim then a T Moblile sim. I have Fi calls and texts forwarded to the T Mobile number. The only time there is kinda an issue is with MMS I have to switch back to the esim for the message / attachment to download correctly. Other than that I just stay on the physical T Mobile sim and all calls and texts arrive like normal for both numbers. Switching between the sim and esim takes like 10 seconds, so the MMS thing is hardly an issue. Super convenient.

Edit: Also just as an FYI I've noticed if someone texts your Fi number while you're on the T Mobile sim and you respond to that forwarded message it'll show that you're texting from the Fi number. If you're on the T Mobile sim and send a new message then it'll show as sent from the T Mobile number.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] whezzel:
You could try enabling unrestricted background data and disable battery optimization for Hangouts. This might use a little more battery but should keep the app awake in the background.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] silesraf:
I'm the one with the Pixel 2XL and Nexus 6p, I have a Pixel XL but I gave that to my wife and I like the 2 front speakers. :)

When I disabled Project Fi on my New 2XL I went and got myself a Verizon Nano Sim Chip. Which means I can still use Hangouts on my phone send SMS and when I get calls in I have Call forwarding it works great. I really don't worry about incoming calls.

I like having Unlimited Data, and when I travel I like to have the best Data connection as possible.

So as of now how do I install Fi Switch App?

Do I Enable and reinstall/update Project Fi and then activate my ESIM Fi account.

install Fi Switch to go by about testing which is the Fastest Data Network Speeds play around with that option or do I order a data nano SIM like OP stated?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] biggiestuff:
Would I be able to use for esim for talk and text and Verizon soon love nano SIM for data?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
No, the SIMs cannot be active at the same time, its one or the other.

Unless of course, you want to manually switch them ;)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] radionerd:
If you are getting a Verizon data SIM, I recommend the Verizon MiFi 7730L Jetpack. You could run it standalone as a hotspot. I run a MiFi 7730L 24/7 hooked via USB to a cheap Mikrotik router, use the routers Ethernet ports for wired devices and high power hotspot.

On my dual SIM setup I forward the fi number to Verizon, since Verizon is my primary service. I only switch off of Verizon when out of range, or sucky data.

I use Signal Messaging app for all text messaging, it doesn't care what phone number, or service is active it will receive and forward all SMS messages through any carrier, WiFi even with no SIM at all.

To switch SIM's you just go into the network Carrier settings and select which SIM you want to use, one at a time.

FiSwitch app soon will be adding a shortcut to the eSIM Manager, one click to change between SIM's.

eSIM Manager

View attachment 4339057
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] radionerd:
Yes,

You can activate your eSIM from the fi Project App, or fi web interface. It's real easy, just click though... select the Pixel 2 or 2XL and it will prompt for eSIM or physical SIM. I ported my free google voice number to fi in about 30 seconds.

I recommend the FiSwitch app, but it's not required. You can change Sim's from the Network Carrier settings screen. FiSwitch will soon have a shortcut to the eSIM Manager, then it will only be two touches of the screen to switch SIM's. :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] silesraf:
I have 1/2 way activated my pixel 2xl but says if I go through my primary device will be Pixel 2XL, I downloaded the Fi Switch too, I just don't want to kill my Nexus 6P Nano SIM card, then what refresh to factory stock and re-activate the Nexus 6P if I don't like what I see.

Also I don't see where to order a Data Only SIM, in my PFi app, it says ( add person )15$ and invite them to your plan 10/GB share data.... Is that what you're talking about?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] whezzel:
If you don't like what you see then all you have to do is open the Fi app on your N6p. It will re-activate you N6p as the primary device and deactivate the Pixel 2.

If the data only sim option isn't showing in the Fi app, then go to https://fi.google.com/account#plan and click add data-only sim. This should take you through the process of ordering a data only sim. There is no added cost for a data-only sim.

:svetius: I found it on the website URL you gave me thanks, now that made my Day :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jnrfalcon:
This is a primitive way of dual sim, which means there can only be one sim card active at any time. If somebody can rewrite the kernel to allow dual standby, that would be lovely. That way as long as none of the sim needs 2G network to make calls, both sim will be active. Dual active dual sim is not really possible for us though... it would require 2 radio transmitter which is physically not possible for a product phone.

You have project Fi in UK... and it should work the same way

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

If you are not frequently using Fi number, why won't you just use the Hangouts app to take Fi messages and calls? That'll be way easier and secure than forwarding.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] THEbigSWEEN:
Fi is actually my main service provider, just been using the T Mobile number right now until I get the prepaid card from the offer they were doing when the Pixel 2 was released. Here in a couple weeks (hopefully!) I'll get my prepaid card, cancel T Mobile and then be back to just using Fi.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] radlink14:
Is there a way to set up fi only for data but use my physical T-Mobile SIM to receive calls? I only want fi for data but T-Mobile for everything else. This is what you can do with dual SIM phones, hoping it's possible.

Will this work with 2 VZW account's? Put one on the eSIM, and the other the physical SIM?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] uicnren:
no.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] svntsvn:
Activating a crippled sim or esim device when abroad is non existent. Sure wish they could stop neutering the devices just to cater to domestic mvno bs.

Roaming abroad is a steal as long as you don't need a local number to keep things like Uber from cancelling your rides when their mapping software takes an L and you need to contact the driver.

In that case just being able to swap sims would solve that issue, if you're fi service and sim could be maintained while roaming abroad.

It's still trivial compared to paying at&t an entry fee just to get bs rates that will surely cost more than travel to most places when they're done.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Droid_Nut:
I like the semi dual sim feature I am getting with Fi and VZW. If only there was a way to see the texts on the inactive sim?

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ness2k:
Idle battery drain is driving me crazy.

I've got three phones here for comparison, the Essential, an original Mi Max, and a Mi Max 2.

The Essential is on the latest 7.1.1 firmware, the Mi Max is on a 7.1 AOSP based ROM (RR), and the Max 2 is on stock MIUI 9 (7.1).

All three phones are running the exact same apps, same apps doze optimized, same features turned on, and everything else exactly the same. Same wifi network, same email polling time, same messages delivered each one, same wifi calling enabled.

Average screen off battery drain:

Essential: 1.4%/hr

Max: 0.3%/hr

Max 2: 0.2%/hr

It's not completely fair to compare per hour drain because the battery size difference. Normalizing the battery size to the Essential phone:

Essential (3040mAh): 1.4%/hr

Max (4850mAh): 0.48%/hr

Max 2 (5300mAh): 0.35%/hr

So the Essential is draining approximately 3x as much battery during idle, and I really am expecting something like 0.5% or less per hour.

What's the key to battery life?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] adam.nox:
