Any solutiom for us with snapchat not allowing to login ? I remember i could hide root in magisk but don't see any option for that in supersu
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] simonk206:
for supersu you have to use suhide
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] Srbija2012:
Great app, unfortunately some devs have still worked out how to detect that a phone is rooted, even when using SuHide.. :(

So do we have a completely new branch for Oreo or is this just for testing? Can we expect Oreo on Renovate ICE 5.x or will this be the new branch to switch to once stable? Only asking because it's a PITA for me to wipe.

Good work, keep it up.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ Cross Device Development] mwilky:
Your gonna need to wipe whether it stays here on or RENOVATE ICE thread anyway, new android version = full wipe

Is the rom stable? Does everything work correctly, wifi, camera, compatible with kernel iron?
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] sebastien_be:
Hi Guy,

I have my Honor 9 sicne couple of months for now. I have the latest firmware installed (STF-L09C432B150) but it is very laggy. I find it defintely slower than the Honor 8 which was very responsive.

I didn't install heavy application though. I only have one game (Clash of clans) installed and a have not so many application that starts on boot, just these ones:

weather pro

zoiper

avast

call recorder

Do you have the same feeling with your phone ? What could i do to make it more responsive?

Thanks,
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] pijes:
That's really strange. I never had any slowdown so far

Reset

Hi.

Do a backup and a reset factory.

No met problems in B150 for me.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] valeriopastore20:
Same problem. Bought It today. Updated to 150 and then a factory reset. It is laggy in all the system. Scroll animation, switching Chrome pages... In games is horrible, i used to play Shadow gun Dead zone but now it is impossible beacuse there is latency between finger scrool and the related animation. I'm very disappointed because seems that this problem is present since 130 firmware
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Update to b180 if available to you
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] valeriopastore20:
Does it resolve these problems?
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] devies:
Unfortunately it wont. Scrolling delay is still in 180.

I hope it will be fixed in Oreo or this for sure will be my first, and last, huawei phone.

Am new to XDA but am aquainted with how softwares work just need someone to point me in the right direction for a sim unlock sollution.

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] hellot1M:
The essential phone is currently $145 on sprint!! Not a promo. This is the new normal pricing. This is basically a steal!!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Wredal:
Is there a way to buy it, pay off the contract and unlock? What would be the total cost? I am going to visit US in December and that might be a deal I am looking for, if possible.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] foopy:
You might want to go to the Sprint website and do a little more reading. The $5 x 18 months is a lease price. If you want to purchase it after your lease ends you still have to pay the difference between retail $699.99 and what you've paid in on the lease. The full retail price is listed as $699.99 as of a few minutes ago.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] gflexstump:
The buy out is 30.00(written on contract) for this phone as I did the lease (5.00X18) = STEAL:good:
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] 1Krima:
To unlock the device if going this route you have to have the phone activated on their Network for 50 days
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Warlord721:
Nope, it's actually $145 (plus taxes) Activation can be waived through purchasing online, otherwise I believe it is $30 instore. $25 down, $5/month (flexlease) then a $30 payoff after the lease payments are complete. Yes you can pay the lease off early then payoff the phone. Getting it unlocked immediately after is a little more complicated/"hit or miss". Many people are able to unlock right after paying it off, others have been told they have to stay on Sprint for 50 days. You do have to upgrade/add a line or open an account.

But the price is confirmed and there is many accounts of this in the https://www.reddit.com/r/essential/ subreddit.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] primaleph:
I just got this price on it last night, buying the phone through Best Buy.

I thought the buyout price was still $175 at Sprint stores or sprint.com, rather than the $30 that's showing up at Best Buy... but maybe not?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] JoRocker:
I had my phone paid for and unlocked within 12 hours of receiving.

25 down + 90 + 30 + taxes

I can verify first hand this is legit. View my post history where I went into more detail in another thread.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] foopy:
Okay I stand corrected. Online it still shows that info on the site. I guess they have a special "pay off" price.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NavySpark:
Just signed up for this one. Phone should be here Tuesday. Contract shows $25 down, $5 a month for 18 months with buyout of $30. With taxes my total is $157.

I'll report back when I pay it off and any issues with it.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bricky23:
How did you get the phone unlocked? Chat on website or call support?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] im0rtalz:
I didn't even have to deal with customer support. Paid off the phone, next day went to UICC unlock in the phone menu, it unlocked fine. Put in an AT&T sim to test out calls and data work just fine.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bricky23:
Can't seem to find UICC unlock. I have undated to Oreo. Don't know if that makes a difference. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: never mind. Found it. Under about phone/ omadm updates. Mine still says locked, will try again tomorrow. Just paid it off today. New account.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] stinger4321:
Let me know if there are any off contract deals.. i wouldn't mind picking up 2 more
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Gambler_BE:
Don't worry if it isn't unlocked yet tomorrow either. Took mine two days after paying it off before I could do the UICC unlock, but it's been working great ever since.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Manish54:
I'm new in the US and i dont know how the contract works, i went to Sprint store to buy this and they told me that i'll have to get a plan with the phone which was 45$ a month. I wanna know if there's a way to get just the phone and not the plan. And if i have a friend who uses sprint, can i get the phone showing his plan and not getting any new plan?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Gambler_BE:
You have to get the plan, but you can transfer it or cancel it anytime. What I did (as recommended by the internet) is the following: Get the phone and the $45 plan, pay off the lease, wait +-2 days until the phone is unlocked, then get this simcard off of amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B013OUS19E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You then transfer your sprint line to that simcard. Because it is a pay as you go sim you don't have to pay anything for it and can just let the number die, at the same time it will disappear from your sprint account and because the month wasn't over yet you won't be charged for it.

The only problem if you're new to the us might be your credit score. If you don't have one or it's low then I don't think they'll approve you for the lease.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] bricky23:
Great post! You da man. Thanks
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] parusia:
You can buy the phone directly from essential website with no contracts. You can buy it from Amazon with no contracts. And you can buy it from Best Buy with no contracts. The price is $499.09 from essential and Amazon, and sometimes it's $449.00 at Best Buy.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NavySpark:
Phone was locked right off the bat, online order. I popped in the Cricket sim before the Sprint with no luck. Popped the Sprint sim back in, let it register on the network and then called customer service. Pay off was $120 on top of the $37 i had already paid, so $157 total. Amount matched the lease with purchase price option (buyout)

Requested the phone unlocked for international travel and the agent put in the request and I have the confirmation #'s for ending the lease and the request for phone unlock. Told 3-5 business days for unlock. We will see how it goes. Plan to check the UICC button over holiday weekend.

I just tried, got my phone today and it says "You did not activate your Essential Phone during the promotion period, so you are not eligible for this offer."

Has anyone else run into this?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
yes, same here. i just got the phone today have it activated, paid off the lease, then was transferred to their unlock phone dept and was told it takes 24-72 hrs to have the phone unlocked... everything went smoothly.

Then i asked the rep about my free camera and she told me to register online. While i was on the phone with her, i was trying to register online and i got the same message like yours. So i told her what happened on my end then she told me that she has created a ticket and submitted to their detention dept for a review, and it takes 3-5 business days to get the response so i will update the status then.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] samep:
Please do. I got the same pop-up when I tried to register today. Backordered 11/27, activated yesterday. Denied camera registration today.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DrvLikHell:
Sucks that you guys are getting denied on the camera. The registration page at https://promo.sprint.com/FreeCamera/Register says:

1 Purchase/lease an Essential phone from a Sprint Authorized Retailer between 11/23 – 12/9 or while supplies last.

2 Activate phone prior to registration.

3 Remain active and in good standing.

4 Register by 1/9/18.

5 Register by 12/7/17 to receive camera by Christmas.

6 If registering after 12/7/17, allow 5 weeks for delivery.

I registered for a camera on the phone I bought at Best Buy on Dec. 8th with no problem. The other phone was ordered and paid for through the Sprint website on Nov. 30th, so it should qualify but it didn't arrive until today. If it doesn't qualify I'll be calling Sprint again to complain some more. Unless they quote the "while supplies last" part...

Edit: Also, the Best Buy phone finally became unlocked today, but it is NOT unlocked for international sims. I put an international sim in it and it asks for an unlock code. Sprint says I have to be active for 50 days to qualify for international unlock, even though I own the phone. Seriously some BS there.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_head:
I placed my order 12/2/2017.

I just talked with the online chat and got my UPS tracking number.

It was delivered to the store today at 1:30 pm.

They have the camera in stock and the guy on the phone put one up for me.

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
Hey, I just went on Sprint website to register the free cameras for both of my phones and they went through without problems. I also got the email confirmation from Sprint promotion dept too.

Just wanted to let you know. Good luck!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] wolfu11:
Question is when did you activate your phone?

My phone unlocked today I paid it off on Tuesday but it didn't ship until yesterday. I'm to the point of just forgetting about the camera I am only on my second day as a sprint customer and no bill has been generated. I figure if I cancel service tonight I'll be ahead of the game. Since it's now unlocked I am free to cancel correct?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] syckman:
ordered phone on 12/2, received yesterday and couldn't register for 360 camera then, but tried again today and went through. So suggest you try again today and hopefully goes through for you.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] samep:
Thanks. My free camera registration went through just now.

Guess I'll check the status later but before Christmas isn't promised after 12/7. Maybe Sprint will surprise again.

Got 9 hours, 38 minutes on initial charge, despite the OTA updates and setting up. Excellent.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
I ordered both phones online on 11/27 and they were delivered yesterday 12/13. I activated only one yesterday, paid it off and was told it takes up to 72hr to unlock the phone. I just checked again and still locked. So I guess it may take up to 24hr after you activated your phone then you are eligible to register for the free camera.

Edit: I just got an email from Sprint that my phone is ineligible for unlock.

Here is the email I just got

Device with phone number xxx-xxx-xxxx is ineligible to be unlocked because

the phone has not been active for more than 50 days. Call *2 for help.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DrvLikHell:
That's their official line, but as long as the money you paid Sprint to terminate the lease actually went towards terminating the lease, their system should unlock the phone. If yours hasn't been unlocked, call to see if they put the money towards the bill instead of towards the lease. That's what happened to me and a few others. Once they corrected it my phone got unlocked 48 hours after that point.

Be advised that it's not officially unlocked at that point, which is why it will re-lock if you put the Sprint sim card back in. The official unlock happens at 50 days if requested/pestered.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
Well, when I activated my second phone today the rep told me exactly the same 50 days active policy even if I paid off the lease plus the purchase option. So I guess they changed their policy because of many people taking advantage of their promotion.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DrvLikHell:
Like I said, that's their official line. It's what they'll tell you if you ask them about it, but that's not exactly what happens though. My first one was just unlocked yesterday.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
Lucky you! I don't mind for staying with them for another month until I get the free cameras. She dropped my monthly bill to $30 for unlimited everything. Not too bad after all, with the phone and a free camera for less than $200 is a win win for me :laugh:
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DrvLikHell:
How did you get them to drop the bill to $30? That's less than half price. Will it be like that every month?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
I was mad and our conversation was tense so she offered me that $30 month to stay with them. At the end, I think it is a good deal so I took it. Until I get the camera and fullfil the 50 days policy, get the phone unlocked then I'll jump ship.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Do u have to activate phone?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
Yep, I did mine.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Did you pay off and cancel right away?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
Yes, I paid them off but I didn't cancel the service. I have to keep my phones active for 50 days to be unlocked and get the free cameras.

There are mixed results of people successfully paid off the lease and get their phones unlocked the next day but that didn't happen to me. It seems to me that Sprint realized the loophole of the lease contract then imposed their 50 days unlock policy to cover their losses.

Good luck to you all. For me, it's still a win win for the phone and the free camera with less than $200. :laugh::p
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] marcusrab:
Did you cancel service before the unlock went through ? I just got off with chat.. they are processing payment for lease payoff as we speak. He said he has made the initial unlock request but it could not be done completely by him because the device was still active on the account.

He advised me to call 817-698-4199 to complete the process.

Im going to talk on the phone as less as possible... so, im just curious if you paid off then canceled and still got unlocked or just paid it off and will\did cancel after you saw it unlocked.

Thanks!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
Good luck and let us know how it goes???
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DrvLikHell:
Did you call to make sure that the lease has been terminated? You can check on the website too. When you log in to your Sprint account, go to your device details, if the lease is still active it will show the lease terms, how many months you have left on the lease and what the lease payments are. If the lease is terminated, none of that shows up. I know this because I have two phones, one has the lease terminated and one does not, and each one looks different under the details.

I didn't cancel the service. I don't know if the unlock will work if you cancel before it's unlocked, I wouldn't risk it. Also, I didn't request the unlock. It was automatic. I paid off the lease, they screwed up the payment, two days later I made them correct it, then two days after that it unlocked.

Most of the customer service representatives don't know what they're talking about. For example, the first one told me that I had to pay $700 to pay off my phone lease. That was obviously wrong. If you ask them to unlock it, they will tell you to wait 50 days. This is because the official policy says that you have to wait 50 days. But that's not what generally happens when you pay off the lease, then again, it's also not officially unlocked at that point, which is why the phones will re-lock if you put a Sprint sim back in. I've also never heard that the device can not be active on the account in order for it to be unlocked. Sounds like that guy needs to go back to school?

I'm going to wait the 50 days so I can get the 360 camera and have mine unlocked officially for international sims as well. Everybody who has their phone unlocked after 48 hours and then cancels will not be able to use a sim card from outside the US in their phone.

I'm going to call and pay off the lease on my second phone soon. I'll report back what happens with that.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Nochis:
I paid the lease. Tried to unlock over the phone they gave me 72 hours to get back to me, because had to wait 50 days with service. 2 days later phone was unlock. I didn't activate the phone. I tried an international sim yesterday and it worked.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DrvLikHell:
So they unlocked it exactly on the 50th day? How many months of service did you have to pay for?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] marcusrab:
No go so far.

So far.. The process of calling the number I referred to in my previous post lead me to one technician who referenced the 50 day period.. He said he can manually submit a ticket for unlock but for me to get that accomplished I would have even to be on the network for 50 days. I *****ed and got his supervisor and the supervisor said the same thing... Basically even though it's not in my contract that the 50 day thing is in sprints terms and conditions... So I'm bound by the 50 day clause. I plan on canceling so the 50 days nonsense is a problem for me.

The devices (2) were paid off this morning.. So I will update this post in 2 days to see if I'm automatically unlocked.

If anybody has a better process or a different method or number to call to get this manually resolved or a unlock ticket put in please let me know.

As of right now I am going to wait out the 24 hours and see where it gets me. 24 hours on Sprint not on wifi.

Let's hope this all still works.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] chiadrum:
Good point about the International unlock. I think I will do the same. That benefit + the camera are worth it.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DrvLikHell:
Yeah, for sure. If you sell the camera it'll pay part of the bill anyways. I'm hoping that I only have to pay for one month of service since the 50 day mark is a week before my second bill will be due. Then again they might have some BS about having a zero balance when you request the unlock. Haven't figured that out yet. If anyone knows about that, please post.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
Same here, I paid off the lease and they told me the same 72 hrs waiting period but just less than 24 hrs later I got the denial email telling me that my phone has not been active for 50 days!!!

I called them back and verified that my phone was paid off and I own the phone, and I can cancel the service anytime but it will remain locked to Sprint unless I keep it active for another month.

Since I own the phone she advised me to change my service to the least expensive plan $19.99/m to fulfill the 50 days unlock policy, and I did. So at the end, I still get the phone and the free camera for less than $200, I can't complain about it.

I'm happy for those of you who have your phones unlocked and canceled the service without paying any extra money and headaches.
