[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] irtrueno:
I am seeing THE SAME DAMN ISSUE I had with my nexus 5. I pair to my headset and audio works fine but after turning headset off then on again whenever, there is no audio! I have to restart the phone to restore audio. This was happening with my nexus 5 just the same.

Is this some kind of cruel joke? Am I crazy? Anyone else having this problem?

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] aftyde:
Hi All,

Yes - I unticked the box to turn off IRDA. (incoming beams) But I appreciate the suggestion... :)

Prior to upgrading my O2 XDA IIs to WM6 I was able to use some pretty crappy HP software for their model FA287A IPAQ Bluetooth Folding Keyboard.

Meaning - this all worked on WM5

This keyboard presents itself as a serial device (and not a HID device, shame on HP!). There is an application you install and run (in programs) that is hard coded to look at COM1 for the keyboard. It worked in WM5. The HP software installs fine, but complains about nothing on COM1. When I bluetooth connect the keyboard, and set the serial port in bluetooth settings (attempting to set it as COM1) it complains and says that the COM port can not be created.

Is there any way to tell what is using COM1?

I have searched the registry - but feel I must be missing something.

Any ideas?

Many thanks, Arthur...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] salvator101:
Hey Guys,

I am kinda of a newbie out here.

I have purchased a Samsung Galaxy S8 G950FD from Dubai and want to use it in India.

I need the Samsung Pay and Volte to work in India.

Having read multiple threads I have understood that you have to change some CSC to India or flash the Indian firmware.

Although being a newbie I dont know how to do either and have the following questions:

1) I have read that UAE and India have the same firmware so all I have to do is change the CSC to India... How to do so?

2) Will changing my CSC code void my UAE warranty and if so is there a way to get it back?

3) After changing the CSC will I receive OTA updates and if so for which region India or UAE?

4) What are the chances of something going wrong and tripping knox, my phone is brand new and I want to make sure everything works fine.

If someone could please explain me in layman terms what CSC is and how the process of changing it works and answer my questions.

I will be truly grateful.

Thank you :)
[Maze Alpha Questions & Answers] Andre43-BR:
I recently bought a Xiaomi Wireless Bluetooth 4.1 Music Sport Earbuds, and I noticed that the Maze Alpha does not handle very well with this headset. There is an instability in the connection, I know from the handset, or the cell phone. When I put the device in my pocket, the connection starts to fail. This in the left pocket. Because incredible as it may seem. In the right pocket the connection stays constant. The bluetooth version is the same. Everything leads me to believe that it is a failure in the project. Since WiFi has problems, and now I discover that the bluetooth also ... Complicated. :(
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Majapiza:
Hello,

I ordered Samsung Tab S2, T-813 on internet. Now I got it today, but its locked to a app name Omonitor Ectouch.

I tried to hard reset on factory reset by pressing volume up, home and power. Came to recovery menu, but after i choose factory reset. It came up "No command" and even it restarted back to the omonitor app.

What can I do to reset everything? As I dont even have access to settings in the tab either so I dont think I can try to reset it with Odin?

Thankful if someone can help :)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Dont you mean: Omnitor eCtouch

It's seems like nothing more than a communication app, so don't see why or how it could lock your device?

Have you got a screenshot of what you see?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Majapiza:
Stuck to the app, cant press home button, or settings or something

It says no command when i enter recovery mode

Cant facotry reset :(

- So i tried with Odin and latest update firmstock. It dont still work, do you know what I can do?

Any possibles I can reset hard the tab from my computer with bootloader or wont it work?

Thanks for you replied

Can i do partition reset or wipe cache? And install firmware from start?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Majapiza:
Hmm, it seems the tab have MDM mode. So what can I do?

Cant find pit file somewhere. Should I do a NAND erase?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
If it's stuck in MDM mode which it seems to be then I don't advise using NAND erase you will end up stuck with no OS and unable to do anything.

What actually happens when you factory reset?

Also is Download mode allowing you to flash things with Odin?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Majapiza:
I've tried flash, and everything. But MDM won't let me do anything so I tried NAND, but it's still MDM in there so I can't factory reset. But download mode is working, but now it's on bootloop as MDM don't let me to reset as I tried to install firmware.

So it seems I have to flash with PIT, but can't find it somewhere. Also don't know how to remove MDM
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vgchat:
Have you tried to root it yet and remove Omonitor from there?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Majapiza:
I did nand earse but didn't got mdm removed. is that possible to root and install firmware that will remove mdm? As I'm in bootloop at Samsung logo.

Sorry I'm a kind of new beginner ?

Thanks for reply
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
Unfortunately you've now wiped the internal storage, so you've no OS to boot to.

It's going to be difficult to do anything at all from this point.

You will at least need an ADB enabled boot.img such as eng boot.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Majapiza:
Oh ok. Do u bother to explain me how I can do by do ADB and where I can get it? ?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Majapiza:
Nobody can help? ? the tab is laying useless right now.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
No one can help you if it is mdm locked and now not booting. That's the whole point of mdm. You'll need to return the device and get one that isn't locked.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
You need to search for an eng boot image for your device.

This should at least give you ADB access. Hit Google for what ADB is and where to get the ADB binary.

Even with a bootloop you should be able to get to download, but whether it will flash is another story.

Are you able to flash the stock firmware?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Felosis:
Thanks man! Yeah, this stuff has always been fun to me. I don't mind "breaking" my phone so I have to figure out how to fix it. lol I lost count how many times I wiped, flashed, etc to come up with my list.

I've also updated the guide to include "updating" stuff.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] slaydog:
I think this thread is worth a sticky because it covers a lot of stuff that other guides don't, and covers them well. TWRP wasn't even a viable option when other guides were made, and it has made things much simpler...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] andrewjt19:
Thank you for the guide. So I assume that if I were to brick the device I could use the factory images and fastboot to restore? Does anyone know what would happen if you tried to flash an older factory image street upgrading through OTA?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Felosis:
You should always be able to restore using the factory images from Google. In all the years I've been doing this, I've never once actually bricked a device to where is wouldn't work anymore. Just basically boot up to the bootloader and run the flash-all script. You can get the full Google images and instructions here: https://developers.google.com/android/images

As for downgrading, I've not personally done it. I know folks have gone from the 8.1 DPs back to 8.0, but if I'm not mistaken Google is making it hard to downgrade for security reasons. Once 8.1 is officially released, we may not be able to go back to 8.0, for example. I'll let others chime in with their experiences. :)

EDIT: After reading your post again, if you mean you took the November OTA you will be fine. The latest factory image from Google is the same as the Nov OTA.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] chiahead52:
please delete
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] andrewjt19:
Thanks buddy for the reply. That's what I figured but my personal policy had always been to "find" the fix before I tamper with anything. Once I unlock the bootloader I'm assuming I cannot take OTA's in typical fashion right? Also is relocking the bootloader the same as unlocking (obviously using the opposite command)? Thanks so much.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Felosis:
You're welcome! Absolutely, might as well be prepared just in case. :)

So, I've not tried it myself from "System Updates", but to my understanding you can still take OTA with the bootloader unlocked. I think the OTAs stop working when the System partition has been modified. But considering pretty much everything we do these days is Systemless, I think it'd be fine. I did manually install the November OTA from fastboot with my bootloader unlocked and it worked fine. To relock, yeah the command is pretty much just the opposite.

"fastboot flashing lock" would relock your device. Keep in mind though, every time you lock or relock it will wipe your device.

No, I'm only using what I've got posted; ViPER, Single User and BusyBox.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sharkie405:
I'll go ahead and ask this here since the Viper thread is so busy and I have seen a lot of answers and it's things that I've already tried over and over again. But, no matter which Viper version I download whether it be through magisk or a zip install via TWRP, I can never ever ever get the drivers to install. You got Viper in the title of your thread but I only seen one line of Viper in the op and that's to do with setting selinux to permissive, which I already have set to.

So does anybody have any out-of-the-box advice on what to do to get that Viper driver to install on a pixel 2 XL running 8.1 .0 DP2?

I'll spend all my 8 thanks for the day thanking somebody if they can help me figure this out.

Edit: I did just notice some more Viper instructions, my bad. I will try those out and report back

Edit 2: So I followed your instructions to the T, and the driver still won't install. Anyone got any ideas? It's not some sort of bug with the program is it where the driver has really been installed already but it's just saying that it's not?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] black96ss:
possibly looking to purchase phone insurance for my note 8. I currently have one through t mobile that's 10.00 a month with a 175.00 deductible. I used them once last year for my s7 edge. they weren't horrible but I was a little upset that I had a black s7 edge and they sent me a silver one. I know they cant guarantee a color but the fact the phone was only released 2 months prior and not have that color was kind of crap IMO. i was either thinking of going with square trade or Samsung premium care. my only issue is that i may want insurance that covers lost devices as well which neither of these companies have. Any input and experiences you guys have had would be great to read.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mlock420:
Are you saying you can buy insurance for said phones after a purchase or do you have to get it at the same day of the purchase? Because I made a terrible mistake by not buying insurance for my s7 edge and now I'm stuck with a broken phone lol

day of or after the fact, didn't know you had to purchase it the day of purchase

SquareTrade here, $129 for 2 years and $99 deductible if something happens (other than loss or stolen obviously). Have never lost or had a phone stolen in all my smartphone years so that's a non-issue for me. I'll gladly pay $129 for piece of mind and $228 in total for a $1000 phone if something happens.

Hello.

This, in itself, it doesn't bother me that much, but when I open Google Maps it becomes transparent and I can barely read the clock and the other icons, and this is very annoying.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Pro4TLZZ:
Wait for the 6t
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] lordneopt:
I usualy say no. Because if you need a phone it's on this moment.

However the T variants from oneplus are ridiculous, they get the same support timeline as the regular one. Check the OP3, last supported version is Oreo and the 3T that was released half a year later is also being discontinued at Oreo.

So, rather skip the T version and buy the new one in some months when it's released and use it for at least 2 major Android versions.
