[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Nay Tyzon:
Exactly.... That's exactly what I meant. I picked the best phone, leaving out the "for me"
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jcsww:
To help the OP out with any reviews he does in the future. I would like to offer a good point of reference to further illustrate how I think reviews should be more focused.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j78lXtKd-5I

Although an unboxing, this videos fairly direct and to the point. He also supports his statements and opinions with reasons for them. "Shout out to AT&T for stealing the headphones!" :P That piece of humor fits with the theme of the video because it is related to what the subject of the video is all about. I can personally say I have had that happen to me more than once, friends, and others that have received a device at some point or another that were missing an accessory that was supposed to be in the box.

Every day, people are bombarded with political crap and some of us are just tired of it. Whether people are pro-Trump or anti-Trump isn't the point. If I wanted political views, there are plenty of videos on YouTube that represent even the most ridiculous views on all sides out there to watch. When I am looking for a video on a cell phone, I am only interested in seeing and hearing about the phone in a constructive way. This extends well beyond political views as well, at least for me and also falls along the lines of sneaky ad placement.

In most cases, people just want to see and hear about the subject, which is the V30 in your video, and why you like it or dislike it with reasons to support those conclusions. One of the reasons why I watch just about every review of something I want is to see if there is something someone else will notice about what I am interested in that I might not. Especially when that might affect my decision on whether or not I still want that particular thing.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Nay Tyzon:
...or you could just let the man do his reviews the way he wants to do his reviews, and you don't watch them.

You've spent a lot of words trying to get him conform to your ideal.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I enjoyed the review and ignored any political stuff.

I'm also not sure why he NEEDS to say certain audio files can only play through the stock LG audio player to take advantage of the quad DAC, when other premium phones don't have quad DAC at all.

It's like saying "it's a Porsche, but you're forced to buy premium gas." It sounds like a criticism which is irrelevant. Don't like using LG stock player? Will Samsung NOTE 8 have quad DAC with 3rd party players or ANY PLAYER? No? So, it doesn't matter then. LG supplies a quad DAC and the means to play the files. Maybe he LIKES the LG stock player. If you don't, make your own review. ;)

Only if another popular premium phone has a feature the LG V30 does not have, is it relevant. Which is why most reviewers are forced to mention portrait view camera vs wide view cameras.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jcsww:
It's not that I want him to conform to my views. We need more reviewers out there reviewing phones. Suggesting he leave out things that may alienate potential subscribers as well as providing a more in-depth explanation as to why something "sucks" would at the very least help those watching understand his point of view. It was just constructive feedback because I would like to see more people review phones outside of what YouTube currently has to offer.

I definitely agree about the Portrait View I keep hearing so much about but couldn't care less about. Same with people pointing out how the selfie camera produces poor results. Those are two things I don't care about. However, for a less than ideal camera on the front, the Face Unlock for the V30 works exceptionally well. You don't need the best camera out there to give you the best results for Face Unlock.

Is there any way I can force my system tray closed in wm6? I installed Wireless Sync and the tray icon is driving me crazy. I like wireless sync but I just don't like that it installs an icon in my system tray! Any ideas?
[General Topics] wildcard:
are there any programs that can close the system tray?
[General Topics] markvan:
The System Tray automatically appears as soon as any program puts an icon in there.

You will have to look at Wireless Sync to see if you can turn the icon off or contact the developer to include this option in future releases.

Or you can use the Sys Tray as a quick launch bar like I do. ;)

Cheers

Mark
[General Topics] wildcard:
I like the idea of using the Sys Tray as a quick launch. Do you know how I can do that but use larger icons? I'd like to use it as a quick launch but not have to use the stylus and larger icons would be needed. Any ideas?
[General Topics] markvan:
I use PHM TrayLaunch. But I don't think you can increase the size of the Sys Tray hight though. You will have to use some third party software that is a today screen pluggin to have larger icons. But then you will still be left with a Sys Tray taking up space.
[General Topics] nothin:
dcinobar...
[General Topics] bigsushi:
Dcinobar gets rid of the softkey bar not the sys tray bar. At least I don't know how to get dcinobar to get rid of the sys tray if it can.

I would really like to know if there is a way to get rid of the sys tray also. I don't want to use it as a quick launch bar as I already use the HTC home plugin and ultimate launcher for that and I like those better.

If anyone knows how to get rid of the sys tray I would be very appreciative for that information. Thanks.

Edit: I've checked Wireless Sync for an option to get rid of the icon it puts in the sys tray but did not find anything.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dclarolh:
This really sucks but i'm turning it back on multiple times a day. It works fine when it's on but oddly it randomly turns off. I think when I have low cell signal which is ironic. Anyone experience this or know of any fix?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] an21281:
Do you have wifi scanning on(search in setting for scanning), if so turn it off.

When its on there is an option to turn wifi on automatically under wifi pref's, which is grayed out w/wifi scanning off...

Other then that my wifi stays on all the time, havent seen it turn off by itself
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dclarolh:
The issue isn't that Wi-Fi turns off. Wi-Fi calling turns off.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] an21281:
Sorry not sure how I missed that! What carrier do you have?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bigblueshock:
I have the same problem. Do you switch between a work enterprise wifi network, and a home network at some point during the day?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] kizoin1:
I'm having the same issue. I was able to turn on airplane mode thus forcing all calls to route to wifi calling with the previous Pixel on an older version of Android, but on the Pixel 2 XL I am unable to do that. can't wifi call with airplane mode on.

Very frustrating for those of us who don't have carrier service where we live. Verizon wants to charge me ~$300 for a mobile cell extender..... AT&T used to give me micro cells for free.

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------

Actually, I posted this having not tried it since my last update. I am successfully in airplane mode right now, with WiFi on, and WiFi call enabled, thus forcing all incoming and outgoing calls/sms/mms to travel through the WiFi. Give it a shot.

I'm on Android 8.0.1

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] frank9184:

[General Questions and Answers] Nikkopt:
This is probably a stupid question.

My phone manufacturer usually releases security patches every 3 months. I had the august patch, today i received the november one. My question is, do i also get the fixes from september and october? I've been reading the bulletins provided by google and nowhere in the pages they state that a security patch for a specific month also includes all the fixes for the previous ones. Logic tells me that the patch i received should bring all the fixes since august, but i can't find an answer online.

Should i not be concerned?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Nikkopt:
Anyone?
[General Questions and Answers] jisoo:
That is actually a more difficult question to answer that one would think.

I think we should start with what the security patch levels actually are.

If you look at android source code which Google distributes, you can see that there are in fact a large number of different projects ("repos") that are built together to provide a full system.

Now, only one of these (platform/build) is responsible for defining what "security patch level" the system is at.

The way Google pushes updates is that when a new security patch level is distributed, the "patched" state of all the current repos is tagged with a release tag (the current latest tag is the "android-8.0.0_r34"). The tags are cumulative.

This implies that when a developer/OEM pulls the updated source code, they would pull the current tag versions of all the repos, and therefore their source code would have all the cumulative security patches included.

However, this leaves the following issues open:

There is no real check that all the repos have been updated to the current release tag

OEMs in particular use repos outside the Google open source releases, and there is no way to know how these are updated. (Experience shows that manufacturers tend to cut corners when dealing with software that runs on their devices.)

So to summarize, to me it would seem that it is strongly implied the security patch levels are cumulative, but in case of closed-source systems (i.e. almost all OEM releases) there is no way to check this is the case.

I hope this was helpful.

Thanks

greeting from morocco

Sorry for my language
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Yes. Stop trying to downgrade to Android 4.2.2. Especially if you've upgraded to stock 5.0.1 at any point in the past.

Yes i know that , but i haven't find any xperia rom for i9505 based on TW unless this one on TW 4.2 JELLYbean
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I can't help you there. But if you want an up-to-date Xperia ROM you're going to have to build it. You clearly cannot use the one you found.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Magedafify:
Hi guys, having some trouble with my tablet. Started out of nowhere, but the screen doesn't light up until the device has been fully restarted, in which case once you lock the screen, the problem starts all over again and I have to restart it again. It also lights up when the device is off and the power cord is plugged in, but only briefly. Once it goes away, I can't use the power button or anything else to check the status of charging, only thing that works is unplugging it and plugging back in. It's still sensitive to the touch, there's haptic feedback, capacitive buttons work, it just stays black most of the time. Has anybody else had this issue and knows how to fix it? It came out of nowhere, the device is not rooted, haven't dropped it or anything. Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] sbeans:
My phone updated overnight. I use the gesture unlock feature. Because the phone restarted, it requires me to use the gesture unlock instead of biometrics. If I input the wrong set of gestures, it says "Incorrect direction drawn". If I input the correct set of gestures, it pauses, the screen goes dark as if I'd hit the power button, but it does not unlock. :(

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] cal3thousand:
Does anything happen if you plug it in immediately after the correct gesture?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] sbeans:
Plug it into a power cord? I tried that, but didn't see any different behavior.

I also booted into recovery and wiped the cache as I saw that worked for someone on Sprint with the same issue. Unfortunately it did not resolve the issue on my phone.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I also booted into Safe Mode, but that didn't help.

I eventually decided to reset the phone. Everything is working now, but lost some of my data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] jerrycycle:
I'm sorry I didn't see this before you did the reset. If you have the samsung account setup, it could have been use to remote unlock the device. Sign to "find my mobile" from the web, and the phone needs to have data on. In the list of option on the you will unlock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] sbeans:
Oh, that's a good idea. That would have been so much easier. I probably knew about that feature at one time.

However, after some troubles getting Compact Framework 3.5 to install, i finally just removed both Trackme and Compact Framework.

However, now when i boot up the phone, i get a MissingMethodException with SlideMon.exe (SlideActions). I know SlideActions requires CF2.0, so i installed that, with and without Service Pack 2. DIdnt help either.

Gentlemen, tried to do a search so I don't repost, but did not come up with anything, so here goes. Is there actually _any_ sort of even remotely working PS2 emulator for Android? Tried to run God of War with Play! (purei.org), apparently failed, hence this post. I presume the ARM architecture is a ***** when it comes to MIPS emulation, but I mean it's 2017, you can run virtual machines and whatnot, damn it :rolleyes:

in the appstore search for retroarch

also trying googling PS2 for android.

If you don't want to use retroarch side loading an apk is prob. your best bet. Normally emulators for "newer" systems need BIOs to run.

You will either have to rip them off your ps2 or again use google.
