[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ksd316:
So I was looking and didn't seem to find much except this thread that was remotely connected to my issue. My pixel 2 XL is connected to my huawei watch 2 sport, the watch says it's connected, the watch behaves like it's connected but on the phone Bluetooth menu it doesn't say the watch is connected. The quick settings drop down doesn't show the watch connected either. Recently updated to 8.1, still the same, reset my watch, still the same. It shows my Vizio sound bar as connected but not the watch. My pixel 2016 would show the watch as connected. I guess ultimately I just wanted to know if others with these same pieces of equipment was having the same issue. I guess I'm a bit anal when it comes to things like this. Lol. I just want my devices to have all the functionality they are supposed to.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] biggiestuff:
Do you have the option to play audio on watch enabled? When that's enabled it usually has two entries in the Bluetooth settings. One for the watch to Android Wear and one for the BT headset profile.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ksd316:
I don't see anywhere that gives me that option. But these are some screen shots. Currently my watch is connected, not any of these screens show it that way. When I go through the Bluetooth menu and select the watch, the connect button is available, but when I press it nothing happens.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] three west:
My Moto360 has never shown as connected on a BT menu. I thought I remember hearing years ago that BTLE didn't show...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ksd316:
It showed just fine on my first gen Pixel XL. The reason I'm curious at this point is because with Android 8.1, the Bluetooth device's battery stats are supposed to be displayed with the device being connected. But my watch never displays it's connected. My other Bluetooth device show connected, just not the watch.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] biggiestuff:
The option would be on your watch under settings, connectivity, Bluetooth.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ksd316:
I'm the menu on the watch, it says I'm connected to my phone, down towards the bottom it says, play phone voice call on watch. That is unchecked.

Edit*

Turned it on, it says it's connected on my phone. I guess I didn't realize that had to be checked for it to register. The watch still rings when I get a phone call, I guess that's why I didn't think about it. Shouldn't it say it's connected even with that turned off?

Do 150 on top for your s7 and use that to replace the battery for your new nexus 6P

Edit in saying thy though you do get waterproof and an sd card so it all depends on what you want.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
The Nexus 6P has serious build quality issues that were never fixed so these phones are basically time bombs. Samsung phones have great build quality and last until you are sick of the phone and ready to move on. Google phones including the Pixel seem to be designed so the phone will burn out and force the owner to buy a new one after a couple years.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lil_ith:
My phone besides battery wearing a bit thin, has almost hit the 2 year mark. My s7 edge had serious quality issues and had a failed microphone issue. Touchscreen issue, all started with a nice purple line through my scrsen. so I had to sell it. The nexus 6P has had issues but if they have been proven not to have the issue (with time. Being used by someone else) then you are good.

Agreed, i regret buying mine. Don't know if it's a faulty unit but mine gets hot ( not warm) , the fingerprint Reader died, the screen have a discolored band in the bottom and the battery ......is weird but it may be a software thing.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] dydwlsxod:
Hi guys,

I've been using iPhone since they launched and LG V30 is my first android phone.

Here is my question,

Is there a way to record more than 4 GB?

I've been using my LG V30 to record some of my music sessions and it seems that everytime file size reaches 4GB, it stops and restarts.

Stop and restart is okay but there is about 3 second missing from it.

I've tried open camera app but for some reason, audio is terrible.

Can anyone chime in and help me out with this?

Thanks alot.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] psawjack:
Are you using the LG camera app in order to film your work or are you using the app called HD audio recorder? On my TMO V30 the HD recorder was already installed.

Next are you recording to internal storage or SD card storage?

If you have external SD card how did you initially format the card? FAT32 or EXFAT?

Answers to those questions may point you to an answer.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] dydwlsxod:
Hi psawjack.

Sorry I thread was miss leading.

I meant Video recording.

So I am using LG Camera app.

I tried both internal and external and both did not work. and SD card is formatted as EXFAT.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] psawjack:
Okay, here's what I would do. I'd try to do a recording with the HD recording app and test to see if it allows recordings over 4gb. If so then issue is probably due to Camera app. From there if try a different camera app to test. I'd recommend the Google camera mod app available on this forum.

If the HD recording fails after 4gb then maybe system wide limitation. Do you have a AV file over 4gb? Could you connect to computer and try to copy file over to both SD and internal storage and see if you get any errors copying?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Celludroid:
Hi! I'm getting a V30 this week and I also plan to do a lot of video recording with it so this is of interest to me. I did bump into the 4GB file size limit on Android as well when recording long videos with other Android phones such as my V10. First I thought it would have something to do with FAT32 storage format which has a 4GB file size limit but after doing some research it seems it's not related to FAT32 but a (arbitrary?) limitation of the Android OS. However, some Android phone makers seem to be able to tweak the OS in such a way that you can record beyond 4GB, for instance Sony (tested it on a Xperia XZ).

Regarding the V30, I just happened to come across this recent thread which is talking about a new OS update for the V30/V30+ bringing features of the newer V30 ThinQ to the older V30(+): https://xdaforums.com/lg-v30/how-to/oreo-update-ai-camera-t3760379. Now the interesting thing is that one of the new features listed says "Google Drive supports downloading files larger than 4GB". It could be nothing after all but maybe, just maybe, this also means that Android on the V30 now generally copes with files larger than 4GB and that this will also affect recording video with the native app.

Other than that, a few thoughts how to tackle the problem:

- Judging from my experience with the V10, the native camera app of the V30 should have the option to change the recording bitrate. If you can live with a lower bitrate for your video, you can squeeze out a couple of more minutes recording time. On the V10 I was able to record over 1 hour in 720p resolution with the low bitrate setting.

- I don't have the V30 yet, but maybe the native app (or some 3rd party recording app) has the option to record with the newer H.265/HEVC video codec instead of the (still) common H.264. The superior compression of H.265 will allow you to have a much smaller file size while keeping the quality, ergo you will be able to record a lot longer even if the 4GB file size limit continues to exist.

- OpenCamera is only one of the 3rd party camera apps that support auto-restart: If you find the audio to be terrible you could also check out "Cinema FV-5" or "Filmic Pro".

That being said, I'm glad to hear that on the V30, the native app at least seems to automatically restart after reaching the file size limit. On the V10, you have to manually push the record button again which is annoying when you just want to place the camera somewhere and keep it running while you have other things to do.

Still, let's hope Android get rid of this limitation asap!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Lukitron:
I recently realized this limitations of 4gb and there's an interruption of several seconds at least when recording 4k slog format...this is terribly disappointing.

I don't mind the 4gb size limit but how is it possible that you miss time between files?

Infuriating.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] kenzi88:
Hi Guys,

Was looking fwd to getting my hands on this one. However with the release one One plus 5T, I am finding it hard to spend double the amount of cash to buy this phone.

The only killer feature for this phone being the Camera + Pure Android from Google.

Another thing to note is that One plus team has a good record of tweaking OxygenOS and it currently beats all other vendors, except Google obviously.

So confused:confused:

Thoughts?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] scottjal:
Go take a look at one plus history of security updates and major OS updates in general. Starting with the 5T launching with 7.

I'm probably going to pick one up as a backup phone, but only after they ship 8. If they don't, well that HTC U11+ is looking mighty fine too, just have to import it.

Display - wish it was a straight shot differentiator. An average consumer is going through multiple RMAs to get the screen they paid for.

Agree with the user who mentioned its almost 2018 and 1440p is a must for a flagship phone.

Major things for me in order of preference are:

Camera

1440p Display* lottery

OS/Development/Updates

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Jadel:
HI all,

I have made a short how-to video on how to flash one of the many awesome roms (made by our awesome rom-makers) onto a device that doesn't have a power button. I have done it several times and as the question keeps getting raised, I thought I would show some proof.

Some advice before the video.

DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGED OR FRIED PDAs

I have done this myself on an I-mate (Himalaya). It took some trial and error but I am now running WM6.1. In my case though, I had to completely remove the power button from the device. The previous owner dropped it on its head, and I got it for free, unfortunately most of the top is missing, including the power button.

SO, on to how I did it. I took a paper clip (metal) and put it about 1cm down, slightly to the right of where the power button used to connect to the motherboard (in line with the text section of the Contact button on the top left of your XDA). Make sure you have turned your XDA/IMATE on before doing this. You'll find that when you find the right area, your device will turn off, or the screen will go dark (like holding the power button for a second or giving it a quick tap) or it will flash on and off.

If you manage to hold it there for the right period of time, while pressing the other bootloader buttons, then you will be able to enter bootloader.

This took me close to an hour to get just right, on both occasions I have done it, but it eventually worked and you eventually get quicker (5 minutes for me now).

My IMATE was useless without me updating the rom, so I had no worry about frying it if I did something wrong, that is why I was OK with playing around with its insides. BEWARE that you MAY DO DAMAGE to the device.

Good luck.

Here is the video.

Cheers! Hope this helps some people out there get the most out of their Himalayas again.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Dalboy:
Thanks for the Video. Worked a treat! Now I can flash my XDA again. Yeah the video was a little dark but I got the jist of it anyway.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Jadel:
Glad it has helped someone other than me. Someone also left a comment on the YouTube page that it worked for them as well, which is also good. Our Himalaya's will live on for many years to come!!!

I agree with my video being too dark (Environmentally friendly fluorescent lights are good for environment, bad for how-to videos). I will try and make a new, lighter video next time C_Shekhar ports a new rom! :)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] chinister:
Power button

I'm from the philippines. I was able to have my XDAII power button repaired it didn't cost that much. If there are repair shops in your area, maybe you can ask about it.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Jadel:
There are only two companies in Australia I know of that can officially fix our XDAs. They are bot hin Rockhampton (about 20 hours from where I live in Sydney).

They are both owned by the same company.

As you can imagine, I would predict that the repair cost would be very high, considering they essentially have a monopoly on the situation, and postage costs, insurance etc

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Jadel:
Hi there,

It is hard to say for sure. The only way to know for sure is to actually try it. This procedure has worked repeatedly (at least nine times now for me) on my Himalaya, and several other peoples. It really is a last resort though, so you may want to trry everything else you possibly can first.

Cheers.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] catalogna:
good good good

I have put the qtek in bootloader and I now have the new rom. Thanks.

I have solo another problem: after few second what I don't use it the display goes to standby and I must press strong to reactivate it. is it a problem software or hardware?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Jadel:
Glad to hear you were able to flash the new rom.

As for the restarting, I have not seen that before under this ROM, and I have used it on several devices and tested it fairly thoroughly. Are you sure nothing is still stuck in the top of your phone where the power button was (IE you didn't leave the metal device in the top?) Perhaps something in there keeps shorting it out?

Maybe it is just on a short timeout. Check under Start>Settings>System>Power>Advanced

See what time the settings are set to under here for "Turn off device if not used for..." both on battery and external power.

Also, then click on the "backlight" button at the bottom, and check those settings.

Under "Backlight" click on "Battery power" and change the settings to what you want, then click on "External Power" and do the same again.

Then just hit the OK button (top right corner) twice, and you should be done.

Hope this helps.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] fathroen:

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alagga:
You have to use this tool to remove Sony RIC AND apply the DRM Fix to your boot.img (or a custom kernel boot.img).

Both RIC disabled and DRM Fix is needed, otherways it wont boot.

https://xdaforums.com/xpe...el-dm-t3301605

Then flash the new fixed boot.img through fastboot:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

After that just flash newest Magisk (or patch it from within the Magisk Manager app).

ELF doesnt work for newer devices.

Just wanted to start a central thread for people to share SoT's and other battery-life-related info for the new OOS 5 build, and the other Oreo builds that may eventually follow, OnePlus willing.

I'm just waiting to see how battery life turns out, and how stable the build is, before upgrading. I figured many others would be too, so any of you brave first responders who want to fill us in would be very appreciated! :D

Useful info to include:

*Screen-on time (ideally with a screenshot of app usage)

*Average standby drain per hour

*Rough difference between standby drain when on WiFi/LTE (signal quality is the biggest decider here, so if you have an idea how good of a signal you may have been getting, please include that too)

There isn't a lot you can do about google play services and android system wakelocks, that's just Google spying on you and selling information about you. Limiting those almost always breaks something, they build their internal services confusingly on purpose because spying on you and selling that information is their core business model.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_M_V_S:
Hello,

I would like to know if anyone is interested in unlocking the Prip app.

Right now, according to the developers themselves, taken from the responses of the Play Store:

"Hi, PRIP.ME is designed to block Mexico, Brazil and Argentina mobile country code (MCC). If Android platform detects your location to be in one of those three countries based on SIM or other methods, then the PRIP app will block your service. In Mexico, you must purchase Prip from AT&T Mexico In Brazil, you must purchase Prip from Nextel Brazil."

I've been trying to remove the lock but was somewhat unsuccessful. I managed to patch the APK in a way that let's you login if you have the SIM removed. After login you can reinsert the SIM and the app will work normally. If you restart the phone or move back and forth quickly over WiFi/Cellular Data it will also kick you out. Only way to have the service back again is to uninstall app and reinstall (or completely clean data).

What I was able to gather thus far:

mod edit - content removed

This last change seems to do the trick for fooling checks after intial login but only if you do not reboot nor switch quickly between WiFi/Cellular Data (you get kicked off for several login attemps too quickly)

I'm attaching original APK as downloaded from Play Store with no modification whatsoever (MD5 9c0e502c0840a2291e53c840f97631d9).
