[General Questions and Answers] Odour Fone:
Having been through the same BS, all I can say is I have wasted time like yourself trying to understand why google have botched the handling of storage so bad in nougat.

From what I can make out all apps need to use a new api for permission to access external SD when used as portable storage, even though mines formatted as ext4, the native android FS.

Best work around I've found so far is the xposed module xinternalsd.

I still can't get it to properly use both as sperate drives.

There is a thread on here from the dev of the module

I'm going to wade through it to see if it's possible to not just redirect all data to the external SD but select different locations for different apps reliably.( when I've had both usable to apps, MTP can't access the files on external sd)

Update: this now works reliably with latest 4.8.

The packages.XML edits didn't seem to work either.

First non removable battery's, now they want to get rid of SD cards and headphone jacks so you buy the more expensive phone with less features.

Yeah, we need to slow down your phone because of the battery and stuff.

A post I found while searching about this issue on reddit is worth a laugh.(I'm glad it's not just me)

[General Questions and Answers] Odour Fone:
External SD permissions lineage 14

From searching around this is a common problem that was driving me nuts.

Even with xinternalsd it was still crap.

Mtp couldn't do anything with them unless used from recovery.

What was odd is it would work for days then all of a sudden, you need to delete or copy something, access denied.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Tech_Savvy:
Should I consider leeco le pro 3? I really love the specs but no blame to stay on stock software...is codeworkz still working on oreo. Is there still active development on this device going forward I'd like suggestions. Thanks
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] PloniAlmoni:
There’s a fair amount of development, don’t get it if you don’t intend to ROM it. Leeco has turned off their account and OTA servers for the stock ROM. Their stock ROM is the worst thing to grace Android in a long time, unless you love Leeco’s media streaming “Chinese Netflix” service,
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Tech_Savvy:
first thing i would do is rom it.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] PloniAlmoni:
Good, there is active development of Oreo but Oreo has bugs, and a fair amount of development remains for Nougut which is stable.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] xBane_:
It's not the easiest thing to do with the 727- took me a lot of coaxing through ADB to get my zips over to the phone; my computer wasnt recognizing it as a storage device in TWRP
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Pelle_Polar:
In my opinion, LeEco Stock ROM 26s isn't that bad at all. Once rooted and debloated you got a ROM where everything works fine, fast and stable. Antutu benchmark around 164000, and if you don't like the LeEco streaming stuff you only have to install another launcher. Sure it would be nice to have a nougat ROM, but so far there is no custom ROM where all features works as they should. And for that reason I'm back again on stock, still satisfied by my LePro 3. Not to forget, it's still state of the art, almost one year after its first release!
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
Everything works on Paranoid 7.3.1 - I have it installed on my 2 Leeco x727 devices and will probably put it or the Omni rom on the two Leeco Le 2 phones that I bought for my kids.

Just unlock the bootloader and everything else is is a piece of cake.

Also use magisk for root so you have no issues with safety net.

In the end, If you don't like something you can always put stock or whatever you want to try on it.

Btw, stock once updated to 5.8.21s isn't that bad, once you have installed a better launcher such as Smart Launcher Pro. Maybe just stick with it for a while until you get bored and want to try something else.

What screen protector do you guys use?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] PloniAlmoni:
I don’t use one, never broke a screen on my phones yet...
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Tech_Savvy:
But it still scratches....i cant stand a scratched up screen
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] PloniAlmoni:
I put mine in a holster, not my pocket. Also, less battery degradation that way; your pocket has a hot temperature, which increases battery degradation.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
I use the one that comes with the phone
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] PloniAlmoni:
Mine didn’t come with a screen protector. It did come with a clear plastic case...
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
That's strange, mine was already on the phone. Here's a link for the case that I use.

it's study, and very protective. The belt clip part covers the face of the phone

A lot the cases for these phones are a little too thin.

Here's is a good screen protector if you don't mind the color.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Cowbell_Guy:
First off not sure if this is posted in correct section, mods please feel free to move if not. More of a general Android/8.0 question.

Overall I'm not a huge fan of how the Google launcher has evolved. Some of the most useful features in the past for me have been the way Google Launcher almost sources of travel assistant. If a Flight confirmation was in my email, on my desktop it would show flight arrival times Etc. Similarly it would do the same for hotel reservations and even my travel companions plans. However, I haven't seen my new pixel 2 phone do this.

And yes, im sure I have checked all the right buttons in the play launcher, have given it access to Gmail, etc. Have told it I want it to display these things ( ideally on my desktop! With the Google now widget), although it just hasn't been doing so.

Again, I'm sure this is more of a software issue than hardware, although was wondering if anyone else has been having similar frustrations, or has any solutions
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] RoccoN4:
Same thing is happening to me. Nothing is showing up.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AndrasLOHF:
Google Now is slowly getting ruined. Only think that ever show now for me is packages, calendar, events, recipes, and time to work/home. They might as well deprecate it at this point and shut down the Newstand app as that's basically what Google Now is....now. Almost every story in Google now is the same thing in my Newstand.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Cowbell_Guy:
It used to be fantastic. I travel a ton and it would always keep track of all my flights or they were on time delays etcetera. Almost like a built-in travel assistant. All I needed was the flight information in my email that was sent to me at the time I book the flight. But for some reason I'm having trouble getting that.

The only work around I found so far is to click on the envelope looking icon at the top that shows upcoming events. This has given me better luck at showing the great stuff I used to see.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] phamine:
Same boat. It used to track my packages (through gmail).

It hasn't done that in a while though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] three west:
Yeah, same as above. I'm slowly moving things over to Outlook.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] beezar:
Might need to go with Google Trips to reliably get automatic importing of flight info from Gmail. I dislike how after opening up the Feed by swiping to left from home screen, I now have to click on that stupid icon on the upper right AND click it again on the bottom to get my personal info. Way too many clicks

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebaconbox:
Recently, my XT1575 has been suffering from extreme battery issues. First, my phone battery would last about 6h but die (screen turns off with absolutely no warning). Recently however, my phone will last around 3-4 hours before dying. I was running the same flash of AICP before and after the issue developed, and have now switched to crDroid to see if the issue would be fixed, but it was not. I have included a screenshot of my battery graph by the end of the day. Please note that the gaps between the parts in the graph were only about 2-5min in real life, but show up as significantly longer in the graph for some reason. One thing I have noticed is as if the battery completed flat lines when it is not in use. It is almost as if it is forgetting to count down the battery so it thinks it has more battery than it actually has, but something lower level in the phone knows it doesn't have that much so it shuts down. Any ideas?

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] shaheryar.baig:
Hi all,

I have been using my p9 lite for almost under a year. Last night I factory reseted my handset. After a successful restart and configuring all the initial settings the phone asked for a restart again but afterwards the phone couldn't boot up. Before the final restart the battery level was 55 Percent. Now the battery status shows zero. I left it charging overnight the battery status shows 100 percent but when I try to turn it on the service light blinks red few times and after a slight vibration the phone is unresponsive. Not even Huawei logo shows up after the vibration.

I cant even boot into recovery mode.

My Oem and bootloader is locked as I am on stock system.

I am able to get into fastboot but I think thats not helpful as the bootloader is locked.

The phone is single sim variant : VNS-L21

Updates: So, I went to Huawei Center, the phone is not in warranty anymore. I opened up the phone to try to remove the battery and reconnect and then boot into recovery mode but still no change in the situation.

Please help me out. Thanks
[Android General] dismembered3po:
Hello,

First time new thread here on XDA, but I thought I'd share my workaround for the problems with the update that rolled out.

Sadly, this is NOT a solution to the loss of data.

If you want to go ahead and do your factory reset and just get back up and running, this might help. (Incidentally, I didn't find any info about it, but you can boot to recovery manually by holding the volume up and power buttons.)

In my case, once we did the reset, we could not get past the Google initial setup process. "Settings" crashes outright at the last step - the opt-out screen for Blu's "news" email updates. When it does, it resets to the beginning of the initial setup. (Note: It does keep your info stored, so you'll need to do a factory reset again if you've already tried to do the setup)

The good news is that you can get around that problem by skipping the Google account setup altogether (I'd like to recommend skipping any other email setup, too because of what happens next). When you don't enter your Google account details, the behavior the Blue opt-in screen changes.

That opt-in page has a drop-down menu that you can't actually... Well, you can't pull it down. Based on the context, I'd guess that if you could pull it down, you would be able to select:

Your Google Address

"None"

If you provide your Google info, the selection just winds up empty, because you can't actually make a selection. However, if you DON'T, the selection defaults to "None," which then doesn't crash "Settings," and you can successfully complete the initial setup.

Hopefully this helps.

I'm about to get an Nvidia shield tv 2017 and I'm used to flash my android devices. Mainly to remove unwanted ads on browser, apps and some in YouTube.

So here are my questions.

1. Does adaway work?

2. Is it possible to 7se magisk or just superSU?

3. On case of SU, su hide works? In order to get Netflix updates.

4. Storage expansion is better with root? I heard, read somewhere.

I think that's it for now.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluegizmo83:
My Nexus 6p just started experiencing a weird speaker issue. My top speaker is now much quieter than the other speaker. I hadn't changed or updated anything on the device when it happened. The speaker is still working, so it's not blown, but it's very quiet. I didn't spill anything on it or get it wet, it hasn't been dropped, and it's always lived in a full body Unicorn Beetle case. I tried all the usual fixes, rebooted the phone, reinstalled the kernel (ElementalX), and tried adjusting the speaker gains. As a point of reference, to get both speakers to put out an equal amount of sound, I had to lower the right speaker volume dramatically by setting the speaker gains in EX Kernel Manager to Left: 20 (which is default), and Right: 5. This kind of makes the phone unusable though as the total sound output is so low. Any ideas what's wrong here? I'm thinking about tearing it apart to replace the top speaker (or earpiece speaker as the part is called), I've already done a battery replacement awhile back so I'm confident I can do it, I'm just not sure if that would fix the problem.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropical cactus:
I had the same problem.

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/help/low-left-speaker-volume-t3687640

You can try the suggested solution. However, the problem is most probably due to gunk stuck inside ear piece. You could try canned air first. In my case, I took the phone to a repair shop which disassembled the back and applied some kind of solvent to clear the earpiece. Now back to normal. Good luck.

Ps. Nothing to do with speaker. I replaced mine and it was still the same. If speaker blown, there would be no sound or broken sound, but not soft.

Ok fine....AS i can see its really a problem for old members dealing with new threads.... i cut it short..

I Dont Know whether it has been installed b4 on it? & will installling again will do any harm or in dat case can be installed even?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] themetalmaster:
Sorry 2x post. See below
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] themetalmaster:
You better HardSPL it or you will have an $800 brick on your hands. Try reading the wiki. Its very helpful. Also I think that other members as well as I would appreciate it if you didn't use as many abbreviations and colors. Seriously.

As for your questions

1.) What? Its going to be in German because you bought an imported one. Easily changed with a rom flash. There is also software to remap the keyboard if needed.

2.) If you just got it it probably hasn't been flashed. A good indicator is if it still has all the t-mo crap all over it (splash screens etc.)

3.)You need to HardSPL, any kaiser version will work. If you go into bootloader mode (read Wiki) it will say OliPof at the end of the 2nd or 3rd line

4.) Yes

5.) Not needed for flashing, but to really use the all the capabilities of your phone you need one
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] freworld:
Problem Over :)

Well,

D Query still remained whether how t know whether HARDSPL has been already installed n dat r not?

OR Can HARDSPL BE installed over again if sm1 doesnt know d status f Device, as was d case here.
