[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Milly7:
Contrary to prior posts, I have experienced lag prior to the last official Nougat update, but not since. And I have been on Lineage and stock Oreo beta. I have not experienced any of the lag and stuttering issues that have mentioned. For the person submitting a report to Essential, were you on a clean install? Just saying, hate to see a report submitted without a clean flash, and logcat if possible.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] anandlal:
The issue is the mapping of the mic.

Lineage has it mapped to the mic at the back of the phone for the cameras and not at the mouthpiece.

It happened to me. When I was speaking using the mic at the back, people were hearing me clearer than from the mouthpiece.

I'll probably go back to LOS if they get that sorted and do an Oreo build.

I found a solution by changing Hotspot settings to 2.4 GHZ.. For whatever reason 5 GHZ will not work for now on my device. It worked fine pre-oreo.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Sledutah:
None! I didn't do anything other than install it following the directions on the Essential website. It was stock Nougat, I hadn't rooted it. The phone is much smoother than before. I'm running Nova launcher with the same apps (~200) I had before.

Same experience here. My phone and battery are smoother in Oreo than with Nougat. I'm very happy with this beta build. In beta State you have to expect bugs and problems, but this build at least to me is very nice.

Does Oreo beta improve reception on T-Mobile?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] NeidRider:
Battery life is really stellar, I had 30 minutes of SOT and 6 hours of standby yesterday at lunch and still 93% left. Unless you turn on WiFi Calling, that is. That keeps the device constantly on and drains the battery like hell.

On the other hand I have issues finding some WiFi networks, e.g. the phone sticks to the AP on another floor and refuses to see the AP that's closer, on the same floor like the phone.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mitchle:
Which Build to use?

Hi. I've got a PH1 purchased from Telus, but using a Videotron sim (not a Telus customer). Which build of the beta should I be installing? I'm having trouble installing NMI81C, but don't want to try NMJ32F, if it will mess with my phone.

Thanks

So. I tried the OTA method, but get the same error, on the phone it says:

E: unknown volume for path [sideload/package.zip]

Verifying updated package...

E: footer is wrong

...a few lines later...

E: error: 21

E: unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/uncrypt_status]

Any suggestions?

Thanks
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] chrispayne:
I have the same issue. When that is occurring I also am not able to record video with the error:

"Could not start recording. Please make sure there is no other recording in progress." (see image).

A reboot solves both issues temporarily again, not sure what triggers it to begin with. I usually use the Google Camera App, I'll try not to for a bit to see if that is interacting poorly.

No I think it is worse I was getting LTE+ all over my area with speeds up to 109mbps. But now I rarely see the LTE+ notification and back down to 20-30mbps
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Charkatak:
Oh, what about APN settings? Maybe they have been changed or wrong one got selected after the update to Oreo?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] lds7104eva:
I re-checked apn settings they are still the same.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Charkatak:
I better wait until Oreo is released for this phone as it might fix the reception. I can also return it as I am within 15 day return period.

Hi there, i have a Problem going back to Original 7.1.1 ROM. I'm in the Recovery Mode, Device is recognized as Essential PHone ADB under Windows, but when send the command "adb devices" it just shows up with an "?" sideload, that is on 2 different Computers, how can i fix this?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] daverx7:
This has happened to me twice, so I figured it's worth posting. On my 35 minute commute to work, I saw my battery level drain from 100 to 95%. This seems high in general, but what makes it even weirder is that I had it plugged into my 12V charger while this was happening. While plugged in, it was charging ~ +400 to 500mA. When it was not plugged in, it was discharging ~ -400to500mA. I wasn't in the discharging mode long enough to see if it would discharge even faster, but it didn't seem to move the needle that much. BTW, this is reported by the Ampere app.

During this time:

screen was on ~15% brightness

Waze running

Google Music (download only) running

Bluetooth connection to my BT->3.5 aux adapter

Other times, it seems to behave as expected when running these apps. Also, as a general rule, the battery life seems pretty good. With or without BT enabled (but not always connected).

I'm not an expert here, but I just wanted to report what I'm seeing.

Thanks,

-Dave
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Shadow Samurai:
I noticed a huge battery drain on my way home with BT on, playing google play music through my pioneer headunit. Used about 400mah in 20-25 minutes driving. Because of that I got 3hrs of SOT
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] daverx7:
Right!!

The funny thing is that it's not consistently that way. When it happened a second time, I felt the need to bring it up.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Charkatak:
I have seen things like this before in my other Oreo beta tests for a different OEM. I have Essential phone, but I haven't upgraded to Oreo Beta, but seeing this on other devices it seems like the phone is connected to the charger and it indicates a charge, but not actually charging and may even discharge the battery a little.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] kjliew:
To go back to 7.1.1 factory image, you will need to bootloader unlock to flash the factory image using fastboot, not adb sideload. Once the factory image flash is completed, you can re-lock the bootloader. All instructions are available from the publicly accessible Essential developer portal where you should have downloaded the 7.1.1 factory image.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] daverx7:
I'm certainly not an expert here, but just communicating my observations. I'm also willing to learn more every day. :)

I purchased Ampere back when I was using my Moto Z Play as my daily driver so I could tell how good the various chargers I had around the house and in my car. I kind of got in the habit of keeping an eye on how things were charging and discharging with that phone, and now my Essential.

What was surprising to me was that Ampere was reporting a charge of +400-500 mA but was discharging what I would consider a fast rate even if it were unplugged. When it was unplugged it was reporting a discharge of -400-500 mA. I would have expected that if I were seeing a discharge of my battery while connected to a charger, Ampere would have reported a lower discharge with it plugged in than not. However, that might not be how their algorithm is written.

In my case, it was discharging at a high rate, even tho this charger has the capability of charging at a higher rate than many chargers I've had in the past, and the app was showing a positive charge.

Thanks,

Since flashing Oreo last night I am getting excellent battery life and it appears that I may do better than I was on Android nougat. Personally I really like this phone and no the camera is not the best but for $450 this is probably the nicest phone anyone can hold in their hand at any price point. Once the dads get interested because of price and we can get a port for the Huawei camera I'm sure this camera would do very well
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] xterminater07:
Nice, I will try to flash the Oreo beta of the Unlocked version to my Sprint variants. BTW, do you happen to know how to trigger the UICC unlock menu without having to have the Sprint sim in there and activate the phone? Sprint reps told me the phone is unlocked on their end, but my phone still say invalid sim because the UICC unlock menu has not been activated on the phone itself. Would flashing the unlocked firmware solves this?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] alienator88:
Only downside for me so far on the beta is battery life.

On nougat I would go to bed with 100% battery and wake up with 100%.

On Oreo I woke up with like 97%. Keeps dying quicker during the day as well, but this is expected as they mentioned the Oreo framework wasn't optimized for battery life yet.

Not only does it work but definitely recommended as you will get the latest fingerprint sensor fix as well as better screen touches.

I am coming up on 24 hours into this Oreo beta, and it's my daily driver. So far, so good. Battery life seems a bit better for me, although it was great before - hard to do an apples to apples comparison though. No bluetooth issues, in fact, this seems a bit better with Plantronics Voyager/Legend than before - haven't tried in the car yet. I had one spontaneous reboot (I wasn't using it, just sitting on the desk and I noticed it rebooting) but so far, I can't see any reason not to charge ahead. The install did turn off wifi calling, I had to re-enable that. No service/signal issues (on T-Mobile in central Texas).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scorsone:
I'm curious to know which mobile browser you'd recommend using? I've been using Dolphin, which has been fine (great even) but after a recent update it has begun crashing repeatedly. I've been doing my research and I've been learning that if I turn off the Ad Blocking setting then it won't crash as often if at all (but then you're left open to the screen entirety ads among other things). I've also been learning that Dolphin isn't so great with privacy and data mining (correct?). I tried uninstalling Dolphin 12.0.2 and going with an older version from the XDA site but alas there's been little to no improvement.

So I've been looking at other browsers. I know to stay away from CM, the Cheetah Mobile browser, but what else is out there? I'm thinking about the stock Chrome browser that all Android devices come with but really don't care for it which is why I found Dolphin in the first place. I like the Samsung browser which I've seen in the Play Store and gave a test drive to. I also like Opera...

Also of interest. Apparently Dolphin is able to access my Google account and rebuild itself after a fresh install, whether I've uninstalled it and then installed it again or switched devices. This has been very helpful and allowed me to just pick up where I left off, but I've also become invested in the Dolphin ecosystem and it seems to be the only browser that'll access this. I'd like to just pull my favorites from one browser to another. Chrome won't do this, when I sign in I get an amalgamation of what's on the PC version of Chrome for both the computers I use at work and at home... I really don't want the two to commingle as there's stuff on both that I don't want on my mobile, and needless to say if I save a favorite on my mobile I don't want it showing up at work for unknowledgable eyes to possibly see.

So any help would be appreciated...

I was avoiding to use those 1click rooters (kingroot) to do it manually, but trying this mode doesnt work: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2684210

So the only option left is use a 1click root app like Kingroot ? Or Im missing something ?

Is posible to after use kingroot use some way to install a custom recovery via APP so later I can wipe all device (so I remove all kingroot) and use the custom recovery to flash magisk/busybox+su ?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Jadel:
Ok, I have upgraded the rom on a HImalaya device (NOT an Axim) several times, and with those devices, after you upgrade the rom you need to do a SPECIFIC hard reset.

Pressing the normal power button or other buttons to wake it up doesn't work.

On our device it involves holding down the reset button, camera and record (it will be different on yours).

This takes us to a screen where we need to change three settings (such as cleaning the registry hives) before the device starts up.

You need to figure out what the specific reset combination is for your phone (generally it isn't the same as the hard reset you would usually use ETC on a Himalaya device the normal hard reset is reset plus power, but the reset after bootloader is reset, camera and record).

Hope this helps.

I have a rooted Pixel 2 XL but I think this issue may affect other Oreo phones too. On my old phone with KitKat, Wifi Switcher worked great to switch between the 2 routers in my house, depending on which gives the better signal. The routers have different SSID names.

Trying to set this up on Oreo (after being disappointed that Android STILL doesn't have this feature built in), the apps do their thing like they're supposed to, but then (apparently) the operating system decides that no, that 30db stronger signal isn't really better, and switches back to the original. Actually it's switching to the last one that was manually selected. If I manually connect to the other one, it will keep switching back to that one.

I have turned off "Turn on Wifi automatically" and Wifi assistant and it still happens. I tried Wifi Switcher first and then SWIFI (not at the same time of course). Both exhibit the same behavior.

Can this behavior be disabled?
