[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sfreemanoh:
So, it's about that time. I have a Nexus 6p, and it's dog slow, so I really need a new phone. I'm on VZW, and they're having a 50% off sale, so I'm pretty seriously considering the 2 XL. However, I've been hearing some not so great things about it, but also how if you get a good device, it's great.

So... Does anyone have any real world experience with it who can recommend it (or not)? And if not, is there another VZW phone you would recommend?

I'm not even necessarily going to be rooting this time around, so that's not a requirement, but having the option would be nice. Other than that, something with a similar screen size, I don't want to go back to a 5" device.

Thanks in advance guys, and happy Turkey day to my fellow Americans!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] whyme45125:
I'm on Verizon and feel it's the best android device experience yet. I'd say get one and test drive it to make sure that's what you want but you surely won't be disappointed especially if your 6p is dog slow, these things are lightning fast. Happy turkey day!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cryppie:
Get an original Pixel XL. If you don't you'll probably end up getting one a month down the road anyway after you return the 2XL. The issues are real. I sent mine back for a refund and keep returning here hoping to see the issues are fixed so I can reorder but it seems to only get worse. Reasons I sent mine back for refund:

Blue screen I could live with. I actually liked the sRGB display and use it on the Pixel XL. Blue screen + Bluetooth disconnections, missed touches/touchscreen responsiveness, terrible audio while recording, and random reboots were the deciding factors. Sure, Google says they'll fix it in an update.. but when? No thanks, I'll wait.

I'll be holding out for a Pixel 3 if they release one after this mess and I definitely won't be one of first to buy one this time. I also came from a 6P and am very happy with the Pixel XL. Since you're on Verizon like I am there is not much else to choose from.

Whatever you choose, DO NOT BUY FROM VZW. If you do you will kick yourself later because you bought a locked bootloader that will never be unlocked.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sfreemanoh:
So, I actually ended up getting one on Black Friday, and the only issue I have with it is the missed touches. And yeah, that's HELLA annoying, and it happens all the time. But I listen to podcasts whenever I'm in my car, and I've had zero BT disconnects, and zero reboots. I don't do any audio recording though, so I can't comment on that. And about 2 weeks into it, I'm honestly not even missing root. I barely used it for the last 1-2 years on my Nexus 6P, and going from that to never using it on my 2 XL isn't much of a change.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] SkiaTheShade:
Are you on 8.0 or 8.1? I was having extreme reboots, but as soon as I reset factor and updated to 8.1 I haven't had any reboots or missed touches, and the recording quality is fixed in 8.1.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] erfoster:
Currently running stock rooted 8.0 with the most current updates. Searching the web turns up a number of references to this with no real solution, searching here found no references to it at all unless I suck at searching.

I've noticed I have a lot of trouble transferring files to my Pixel from my computer (Windows 8.1). My phone is recognized, but accessing it tends to be very slow, and if you copy anything to it, it tends to stall, often before it even begins to transfer (calculating space required, etc) even with small files. Even just creating a new folder has hung it up before. I've tried different cables, different ports, and no change. Disconnecting and reconnecting the phone will get it working again briefly, but it's not long before the problem returns.

On a whim, I booted in to TWRP, and tried copying files there. First try, everything is immediately recognized, and is transferring at full speed. I just finished a 7.5 GB file transfer with no issue, after transferring a 3.5 GB right before successfully. The good news is this seems to be a viable workaround for now, but it'd be nice to not have to boot into TWRP every time I want to transfer something. Anyone else having this problem or have a solution?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Puggin4Life:
So two nights ago my essential phone stopped working on the Sprint network. We did all the typical trouble shooting and nothing works. I'm able to send and receive messages, able to use data but can't make or receive calls. Phone works fine on wifi calling. Everything shows I'm on their network. Went to corporate store and they couldn't get it working even after replacing the Sim. They ordered a replacement but they are on back-order. I've tried the #*#*72786*#*# to which that hasn't worked.

Anyone have any other ideas on how to get this working again?

Thanks

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] wicked_Insider:
CPU: RK 3229 Quad-Core Cortex-A7

I have the MK 809 III and it came with an app called "SU#". I had no idea what this app is so i inspected it. Some how twp / cda or what ever the letters are, I think it got flashed because now every time i try to start the device I get an error code. "E: failed to mount /mnt/external_sd (No such device)"

I have only had this device for less than a week and now I fear I've bricked it.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am not tech savvy with flashing devices.

If you can help, speak laymen.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] thesolarcode:
I have the same problem - bought a MK809 IV, worked for one day, when supersu app asked for upgrade. I pressed a button by mistake (on usb keyboard) and after reboot it hangs in a recovery loop because it can't find some file(s).

Reset button does nothing, the device is not recognized by the PC (I installed RockUSB drivers, and also tried DriverAssistent 4.x).

I read something about making a short on the board but am not sure where exactly this has to be done and when.

Any idea?
[General Questions and Answers] grokus:
I have had a few users complain that the setting in my app change. I suspect the settings preference is resetting to the default but I have not seen it happen on any of my devices so I haven't had much success in troubleshooting.

Has anyone seen this before, and do you have any ideas on how I can remedy this?

I'm using the built in Android preferences switches so I don't see how it could be resetting random settings.

Hey maybe someone can give me a hand. Trying to flash back to stock on my Note 8 using the TMobil Firmware found [here](https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/collection-firmware-rom-file-galaxy-t3676943). I put AP into AP. BL into BL, CP in CP, and CSC into CSC. Theres no PIT file in there. Do I used HOME_CRC or do anything with USERDATA??? I tried flashing using simFAIL but it wasnt working at all. The error im getting is SW REV CHECK FAIL : [adl]Fused 2 > Binary 1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] kirschdog1:
Start over from beginning use samfail step by step
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Drackeo112:
I did several times, and each time the same thing. My phone never rebooted after the first step. Im trying to flash back to tmobile but im getting " FAIL! Model dismatch fail" errors can cant get anywhere
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] kirschdog1:
Read through the samfail thread at least 20 people had that same issue and got past it using a different variation of those steps listed in op. Also, don't forget to use search feature in the samfail op to look for others who have device mismatch errors and how they got it up and running.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Drackeo112:
See I think Im getting lost on what goes where in ODIN. The AP goes to AP, BL to BL, CP to CP and CRC to CRC. Correct? What do I do with the HOME_CRC and USERDATA_CCT? Anything?

And do I make the Files TAR or keep them as MD5? Becasue the ext are tar.md5
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] kirschdog1:
Leave them alone and only use csc not home csc or user data cct leave those alone.

Also use regular odin not prince odin

Just so you know. your issue is because you took the update and you are incrimented. You are currently trying to downgrade and you cant. You must install the incrimented firmware to get working again. This also means No root for you.

What do you mean by "You must install the incremented firmware to get working again." What and where do we find said firmware and are instructions posted anywhere, i must have missed them...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] me2151:

I was rooted with v1 and updated to BQJA because another method was found thanks to you, and i would just re-root. When i flashed the BQJA files, it PASSED but my Note had error under the progress line on the screen. I would like to flash it correctly with the correct files until v2 is available. Device is doing stupid stuff like most apps F/Cing when they first open and some other odd things. I did a factory reset and wiped the cache in recovery and tried reflashing the factory firmware, still saying error on display, it PASSED, but im putting all my apps back and waiting for it to happen again....

I have been trying to use smart switch but It keeps crashing, did not restore my apps,video, pics, mms or anything. Is there anyway to manually transfer all the files back? or any better software that will properly transfer things? Thanks in advance.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maltydog:
I have the latest Kindle Fire 8 (OS 5.6.0.0) and I am having an issue with the SD card slot. Sometimes the cover will open when I am not trying to open. It doesn't open very far, but it is far enough open that the card will move enough that it will not be read by the tablet. I am a little worried that I could lose the card because of this if it happens when I am not paying attention. I suppose I could put a piece of tape over the cover but that seems like an inadequate way to fix the issue, and the tablet is a recent enough purchase that it still has a warranty on it. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else had this issue and how they resolved it.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve8x8:
If the card can move the slot cover, it may be not properly inserted - there's a spring to help remove it. When inserting, you should hear a slight click sound, and the card should not move on its own anymore.

My OnePlus 5 has a slight red tint on the bottom half of the screen which is especially noticeable on white background at high brightness.

What's weird is though when I watch a video on YouTube even for just 30 seconds or so the tint disappears.

It comes back after 5-10 seconds though like color settings get changed or something.

Does that mean if I use an app like kcal to calibrate the display and make the tint go away?

I only ask because I know next to nothing about rooting and I don't wanna screw anything up.

Some private wifi connections restrict use of certain devices. Or they are not configured for pda use.

Try it and might work.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Dantesk:
Hello. I recently got my hands on a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy SIII. The phone is network locked and I need to unlock it. I already rooted the phone.

However I have not been successful in unlocking the SIM. There is a method posted here on XDA which tells you to use the menu by dialing *#197328640#. However it won't work on the versions after Android 4.1

I was wondering if anyone can share with me where I can download the stock or a custom ROM with Android 4.1 so that I can use this method to unlock the SIM.

If you know of any other methods that don't require me to pay third parties please share them with me.

Hi friends, I have a Huawei P7 with this firmware version: L10V100R001C00B121SP01 and EMUI 2.3.

I would like to update. I already unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP 2.8.1.0 using adb.

I like MyRom 3.3 with EMUI 3.0 but I read that, as a requirement, if you want to flash it via TWRP you must have already EMUI 3.0 ROM installed or B602 or B609 ROM.

Do I have to update firstly to some intermediate ROM? isn't possible to overwrite my B121 version with another, latest, ROM?

Please suggest me any other rom or firmwares to give new life to this device.

thank you in advance.
[Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion] The WiTcH Er:
If you don't have VoLte in your custom rom, just download and flash the zip file available in the link.

I'm not responsible for any cause to your mobile, Proceed at own risk.

Method 1 - For Jio Sim

After using lot of custom roms i found out the cause of volte bug. It was the IMS status being not registered for some reason. You can check IMS status dialing *#*#4636#*#* and then open option (3 dots verticaly) in the top right corner. IMS services are responsible for calling and sms services over lte networks.

The fix is quite simple and just needs to add two separate access points for jio sim.

Under access points delete all apns present and add these two new apns:

1) Name- ims APN- ims APN type- ims APN protocol- IPv4/v6 APN roaming protocol- IPv4/v6

Save these settings ( this apn wont reflect in the list after saving, so dont worry if it doesnt show up)

2) Name- Jio Internet APN- Jionet APN type- default APN protocol- IPv4/v6 APN roaming protocol- IPv4/v6

Do not change other values. Save this profile and select it.

For Roaming (normal too,same as above with small change)

Reset the APN setting...and still if it doesn't then do one thing... edit the apn...and add ims into APN type, and click save, don't edit anything else. after save, u will see their will be no apn... now create apn manually and create in the following way:-

Name- Jio Internet

APN- jionet

APN type- default,supl

APN Protocol- IPv4/IPv6

APN roaming Protocol- IPv4/IPv6

click save.

Your volte will work flawlessly like before.

Hope it helps.Method 1 works with any version of Android, it is just one time setup. Otherwise go to method 2,

make sure you have a backup of completely working rom before proceeding to method 2.

Method 2

Installation;

Open recovery and install the downloaded zip file

Now restart your mobile.

Download link;

Version 2.E
