[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] harryw66:
Hi,

Wonder if someone can shed some light on this...

I just received my Nokia 8 and am configuring it.

On my previous HTC and Sony phones when I add account for Exchange server it uses a different email application - which has more of an outlook/exchange server type feel to it. For example on my HTC it uses the 'Mail' application - which has options to limit the auto sync to office hours only - set peak / off peak times etc.

But on my Nokia 8, it seems to use Gmail only and therefore, I cannot set peak/off peak Sync times etc

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Welcome to the world of pure Android! Pure also means lack of in-house applications... Give BlueMail a try its an app on the play store

As on my Huawei P9 sent mails weren't taken to 'sent' folder (server-side) I installed 'Nine Mail'. Supports exchange and has got a load of features.

Free usage for 14 days, after that 14 or 15 €, if buying 5 or more licenses you'll get slightly better conditions.

Bought it after trial period of 3 days.

Cheers

Thanks for the replies.

It is a bit naff that there is no Pure Android mail client suitable for work - and I still cant believe that Gmail and Inbox do not offer Peak/Off Peak sync settings.

We already have Touchdown as a corporate approved Exchange server mail client - have used it for many years - but the interface is a bit weird.

I will have a look at Blue and Nine - the latter looks good on first glance...

Cheers
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] tokuro:
I've used just about all mail client that does exchange support. I like Nine the best.

Have you tried this.

[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] kischde:
Kinda outdated.. As for me, I wouldn´t use an app sending/receiving personal or data concerning my work/office. I guess that most companies won´t tolerate that and you maybe get in trouble by installing such apps. So everyone should clarify if there´s any reason against using outdated apps.

Not to offend anyone here, just a few thoughts as I know that some companies aren´t making any fun in such cases.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] harryw66:
Hi [MENTION=4238871]kischde[/MENTION] and [MENTION=282396]tokuro[/MENTION] ,

Does Nine allow you to set schedule for push / sync - I want to set it so that it only syncs work email during office hours - and not outside them.

I tried asking Nine support - but their responses were a bit naff one line minimalist answers - just some vague stuff about 'do not disturb' mode and that I 'need to set the time each day in the settings'. Not even sure what that means - does 'do not disturb' mean that it still syncs and just does not report any new emails? And do I need to set the time every single day I use it or can I configure times on an individual day basis.

I know I could download and try it - but every time I try to connect a new app, it quarantines my phone and I have to raise a support ticket for our IT support to re-enable exchange server access - which can take 48hrs.

Thanks!
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] kischde:
I'm on the road atm, will have a closer look in about half am hour or so and report back then.

[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] harryw66:
Thanks.

The reason this is important to me is that with Touchdown the battery usage goes down to zero during evenings and weekends because it is not pushing/fetching emails.

On weekends, I can usually get away with not charging for two days - purely because the work email is not being synced.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] kischde:
[MENTION=3012053]harryw66[/MENTION]

You're welcome :)

In my opinion any reason for syncing only during office hours is legit. So I also see your point.

Tried it now. You can setup Nine to only sync within an adjustable timetable. E.g. from 8 am to 5 pm is what the app suggests. You have to set it up for each day, but it's done in a few seconds. So let's say 2 minutes for the working days and you're done.

Feel free to ask any other question coming to your mind. I'll try to help when I can.

Cheers,

René

UPDATE: I decided to just go ahead an install Nine - and it does indeed appear to have genuine peak/off peak sync control - not just quiet modes. Now I just need our IT support to remove my phone from quarantine!

Thanks again.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] kischde:
[MENTION=3012053]harryw66[/MENTION]

I can confirm what you found out already.

I didn't setup to sync on Saturdays and sent myself a mail. Result: enjoy the silence ;)

Have a closer look into all the settings, possibilities are just great and it's fun to work with Nine.

Cheers mate

[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] harryw66:
Yes - have had a quick explore - seriously configurable - a bit overwhelming :eek:. I still awaiting approval from IT - so it's not syncing at the moment. Hopefully on Monday.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] kischde:
Maybe the IT-guys aren't syncing at weekends either ;) (probably using Nine, too *rofl*)

Have a nice weekend, enjoy it!

Cheers

[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] harryw66:
Nine was activated this morning - looking good so far...

Cheers.

Shame about Blue - that looked simpler to use (and free!) - but it syncs all the time. They have said that peak/offpeak sync control is on their roadmap.

Thanks for the recommendations and help - much appreciated. Nine looks and feels so much better than Touchdown .....which I read is now End of Life anyway.
[Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers] Ash225:
I am new to compiling and modifying roms. I like miui for its functionality but xiaomi did not update important system apps like google chrome gmail drive youtube etc. I want to extract the rom zip file or the fastboot file of miui and put in the latest apks for the apps and then recompile it and flash it to my phone. I know i can first flash the rom onto my phone and then simply update via playstore but then the updated apps consumes the internal storage space and updating all such apps consumes over a lot of my internal storage which is only 16GB so o was wondering if i can download a fastboot file for my device and somehow put in or replace the older apks with new one and then again recompile of pack it and flash it directly would be nice any idea how can i achieve it.

Is there a way to put the calling screen to the background while the phone is ringing?

I doesn't know if its only a Samsung feature with its "Smart Call or call+" or a general behavior on all android phones.

It's a bit annoying when you get advertising calls or something else and you dont want to pick up / hang up the call but want to use the phone.

Last night I changed my HTC home icons and the clock and so far today the phone has been lagging really bad. It takes 8-10 seconds for text messages to show up when i hit the icon on the home screen. Also just turning on the screen takes almost 6 seconds now. Loading the internet takes forever as well as go through settings. I went in and changed the buttons to original and no luck. I also went into cpuscaler in Batterystatus and added boost to 273 and it helps a little bit but not much. Any help would be great. I have 19-20 meg of running memory and 25 of storage no running applications and its still very slow.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] badguy999:

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] harshtomar1308:
I once Hard Bricked my phone. Then when I somehow recovered it and tried to install stock firmware, it went into bootloop, then I used g5 plus software to flash boot.img and it worked but after that I lost my original recovery and I have TWRP recovery instead and I can't update my software because it will hard brick again. I have tried reflashing stock Android (problem remained the same) and I am not sure but I guess I somehow modified my system and that's why I am not able to get my stock recovery back(I tried to flash that but that failed). Please help as I need to update my system because Within months Android O updates will roll out. Thanks.:rolleyes:
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Karlinski:
Fastboot to stock. It's the only true way to get what you want.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] harshtomar1308:
I'm not able to. In My Fastboot it says "System status: Modified" instead of system status Official, so any idea how to get Official System status?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Karlinski:
fastboot doesn't care about firmware status. if you want to get official, you need to relock your bootloader. There are instructions on how to do so on the forums here.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] harshtomar1308:
Then I'd be able to download system updates?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Depends on what happened to your device when you hard bricked it in the first place and how you recovered from it.

If you recovered using the albus (Moto Z2 Play) blankflash, then I don't think you'll be able to re-flash the stock firmware completely, as you have a different bootloader to what's expected (i.e. Moto Z2 Play bootloader on a G5 Plus). You'd still be able to flash the system and modem side of the firmware, just likely not the GPT or bootloader. Thus, you're likely better off waiting for TWRP flashables of the stock Oreo ROM, which would mean you don't have to worry about your bootloader. Of course, that means you won't be able to take OTA updates again.

What device do you have and what stock firmware were you/are you running on your device? Maybe you're flashing either the wrong firmware or too old firmware for your device.

I have the driver installed and see it in my device manager, but adb does not see it.

Any suggestions?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Update your SDK, try a different cable, for starters.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] gatortuba:
It sees it when the device booted up.

How would the cable make a difference?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Outa curiosity, when the phone is on in normal mode, I assume you have USB debugging on correct? If you go to your sdk platform tools, and open a command prompt, and type abd devices, do you get your phone ID to display? As far as the cable, there have been many many reports that trying a different one fixed the problem.

I don't know.

Have you tried the instructions for it from this thread?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EvilDobe:
ADB only works while the device is booted & in recovery.

FASTBOOT is what you'll need while in the bootloader.

If you want to have root with Magisk go to their thread, https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2-xl/development/2017-11-6-root-pixel-2-xl-t3701176, and follow the detailed instructions the OP has provided. If you don't feel comfortable or confident you can follow them... root probably isn't for you.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swieder711:
I was having problems with Bluetooth dropping while on Marshmellow. After upgrading to Nougat my Bluetooth worked great for a few weeks. In the last week, I am having problems again with dropped Bluetooth connections. The problem is only with my Plantronics headset. I tried the headset with my wife's iPhone and it seemed fine. On my XT1575, after about 5 minutes of use the BT connection suddenly drops.

I have tried the following:

1 Forget and repair the headset

2. Clear cache on the BT apps

3. Booting phone into Safe mode and then pairing with headset

4. Clear cache on the whole phone
​

None of these changes have solved the problem. I am thinking about going back to an old NANDROID or even trying a factory reset. Before I try either of those extreme changes, I want to ask this knowledgeable community for its advice.

EDIT, Also tried turing off BT scanning location and turning off Media Audio. Still getting disconnects!

thanks,

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swieder711:
Still trying to fix my problem where my Plantronics Savi 720 base station loses it connection with it's DECT headset. This only happens when my XT1575 phone is connected to the Savi base via Bluetooth. The headset and base stay connected when I use it with a landline or USB port. The BT connection seems to stay up, but the connection between the base and the headset is dropped. I ordered a new Savi 720 and still had the same problem (will be returning it soon). I tried my existing Savi with my wife's iPhone and did not see the problem.

Late last night I reflashed the whole -22 ROM which seemed to make the problem go away! After a NANDROID restore back to my previous 22 set-up, the problem came back!

After all the testing, the finger is pointing at some app or setting on my XT1575 causing the problem. Although, I still have the problem when I booted into Safe Mode.

I now tried just reflashing BTFM.bin. For my first test, the connection was solid for 15 minutes. It usually drops in less than 10 minutes. This is encouraging. Will report back upon further testing.

Any thoughts or ideas on what could mess up Bluetooth?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swieder711:
Was on a 30 minute call today with no drops from Bluetooth. Looks like reflashing BTFM.bin fixed the problem.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swieder711:
After 2 days of reliable behaviour, the BT connection problem has reappeared. I had two calls get dropped this morning. I reflashed the BTFM.bin file and still had the problem.

Im going to try to have Plantronics review the log file from their headset to see if that shows any information.

Can anyone suggest other options for testing or debugging?

PS: I am considering moving to another phone, like the Pixel XL 1st gen.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
I'm assuming you have updated the firmware on the Savi as well and disabled wide-band audio? I had issues with my Plantronics Voyager Pro until I disabled wide-band audio.

Thanks for the suggestion.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swieder711:
I turned off wide-band audio for deskphone and PC audio. I dont see a wide-band audio option for Bluetooth. Problem still persists.

I called Plantronics today. THe customer service rep has a Moto Phone, not a XT1575, and he has the same problem where the headset disconnects from the base. Even though the BT connection stays up. The rep claims that it is a problem the the BT chipset used in Moto phones. I sent him a log file from the Plantronics based. Hopefully, this issue can get escalated with Plantronics engineering.

I read the Nougat .23 has some updates to BT. I wish there was a way to try that. I am running .22. Isnt there anyway to downgrade back to MM so that I can than upgrade to .23? I know Acejavelin said it would brick the phone. Has anyone come up with an downgrade/upgrade workaround from .22 to .23?

Might be time for a Pixel XL 128GB upgrade (1st gen and not the 2).

Download the full factory image. Open the flash all bat file with notepad and edit out the -w and save it. Then run it. That will flash the full factory image but leave apps and data in place.

Then you reroot it.

Redo it, otherwise you are a month behind on the boot IMG.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] JayBlack_686:
Thank you. One last question: when I rooted, I used the snoke kernel and pointed to that .img file when patching the boot image (no reason, other than that's what everyone seemed to be using when root first happened). It sounds like this time, I should get the full factory image, extract, grab the boot.img from within that and patch THAT to be up to date. Correct?

Correct, you can use whatever boot IMG you want. Snoke may be updated to November... don't know...bit if it is and you like it use it.
