[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Normas Interruptor:
Well, this issue only appear when you have encrypted device...

So, to get ride of this situation again... Just format data with yes command and always flash no-vrrity zip to stay decrypt now you can delete these 5 files and stay decrypted and you can use your phone without any issues.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] CoCoGirl886:
That will wipe my entire internal drive as well right? I don't mind using my phone encrypted, but I'd just want to get past the encryption now so that I can access and backup my files before flashing or formatting. :(
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Normas Interruptor:
Yes! you are right, formatting data can format your entire storage including internal storage but that will be happens only once..... Install TWRP recovery by codeworkx universal and format data, that will be erase the entire storage for sure but once you done with that... copy and paste Oxygen OS ROM file along with No-verity.zip file...

first flash ROM then flash No-verity.zip so you can stay decrypted ever.

Flashing no-verity.zip all the time in every rom at last is the best practice to stay decrypted.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] CoCoGirl886:
Ah I see... the problem is that I don't have any backup of my files right now. So even if I format only once, my entire storage will be forever gone.

Did you figure out how to solve the problem of "when i reboot my phone it is showing blank screen, no home screen only wallpaper is showing" without reformatting?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Normas Interruptor:
You have to erase the entire storage that is the only solution... trust me i have faces this issue several times when my phone as not decrypted and i lost my entire storage almost 10 times :(
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] McDumbdumb:
If you have a fingerprint set, OR a pin or password, your TWRP pass is ALWAYS the same as your phone pin or pass :) Just tried it on mine.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Hobroker:
jesus christ!
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] LucasBass:
Yup, that's the solution
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] McDumbdumb:
Glad to get some confirmation, I was fairly certain this had worked across multiple TWRP versions, but glad to hear it works from other users :)
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] p3ric0:
Same exact issue here as well. Did you ever find a solution without losing your data?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] CoCoGirl886:
Unfortunately no. I had to format in the end and lose 9 months of photos, data, etc :crying:.

Now I know not to mess with the lockscreen keys because the newer android versions (i think 6.0 and over) has a security patch to prevent access to phone even if you delete the keys. From now on, if your touchscreen doesn't work then your best bet is to boot into TWRP, plug in a mouse via OTG cable and try to flash a new rom, which should preserve your internal drive data.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] p3ric0:
Dammit :( I was afraid of that

I tried doing a factory reset (leaving internal storage) but now the phone gets stuck on the Welcome screen "One sec.."

My internal storage is encrypted so all the folders are hashed and I can't even recover any backups I had in the phone. ADB doesn't want to detect the device while it's in TWRP so I can't sideload adb. My only hope is to buy an OTG adapter today, put my latest twrp backup on a flashdrive, and hope I can recover that way.

:(
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] p3ric0:
Nope. The OTG adapter works but TWRP can recovery everything except data.. gives an error "extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255" when I try. Sighhh
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] CoCoGirl886:
You deleted the lockscreen keys from the OP right? If so, I don't think an OTG adapter would help. Because once you deleted the password then it will default to TWRP's password but it doesn't exist? However, if you never deleted the keys and can access TWRP's screen to enter your password then you should be able to decrypt and extract your backup. I had a pattern password and you can use the mouse connected to OTG cable to draw your pattern to unlock.

I'm actually having the same touchscreen issue on my device again... but the screen would randomly work. So I am waiting for it to start working before I reflash. :confused:
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Normas Interruptor:
So, TWRP asking password because our Device is encrypted but when i erase the internal storage and decrypt the device then problem got solved because encryption is a culprit here.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] p3ric0:
Yup I get what the issue is, I was just hoping there was a known workaround since it had been 3 months since my last internal storage backup. Not terrible but it still sucks to never get some of those pics/vids back. I exhausted my searching and just submitted to a data wipe. [emoji1745]
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] archz2:
How do you manage to wipe data ? TWRP was asking for password. How did you proceed further?
[Device Reviews and Information] Originalas:
This a second mini action camera from Xiaomi to replace the original Xiaomi Yi.

The best part? It's a 4k model with a screen and many more features but cost the same as the original model, only $79!

Might be the cheapest 4K camera even compared to other budget models from China!

And it's not only about the price. Camera offers proper 4k at 30fps and up to 200fps in 720p slow mo.

Wifi app, timelapse, photo mode, image stabilization and many more features.

Exceptional build quality, I like Xiaomi Mijia 4K build over a GoPro Hero 4 and Yi 4K! Which says a lot.

Xiaomi offers a bigger battery ~2 hours in 4k mode and a better microphone, sound quality, as Xiaomi positions this model not as a regular action camera but as a general purpose small budget camera for traveling, youtube and etc.

Xiaomi Mijia 4k video.

Help

Bought 1 of these but can't get the mi home app to work with it. Is it because of custom ROM, what is the app you are using in the picture, thanks for any help.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] CorePrime:
Hi. I purchased pixel 2 xl from google store. My carrier is verizon, so i purchased the one with verizon sim already installed. before purchase i spoke to google rep. i asked if the both versions of the phone are exactly the same except one has verizon sim already installed, he said yes. so now when i go into developer options, oem unlock is greyed out. is this intentional or a bug that will be fixed like i've recently read about htc pixel 2? thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wtherrell:
You bought the wrong one. Should have bought the Google version and transferred your sim from the previous one.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Triscuit:
Yep looks like you received a Verizon version of the device. If I were you I'd take it back and ask for a Google variant.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Bailx:
son of a b****

ugh... we went for the buy 1 get 1 free valentines deal.... both came with verizon sims preinstalled...

man i really wish i had seen this thread before i bought those... was trying to install TWRP....

there isn't even an option for oem unlocking in dev. options (not greyed out, just not even there).

fastboot oem unlock gives a successful 'OKAY' finished... but remains locked...

guess i'm screwed.... this SUCKS so hard.... was planning in putting on that lineage 15 beta tonight.... and now its like i wanna throw a $1000 phone at the wall
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
You've got 15 days to return it. Probably won't get that bogo deal, but at least you can then get an unlocked one.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Gilley:
To me I use to flash left and right when I had previous phones. This one IMO there really is no reason to. But like others said, just return them and get the google version but you will have to pay for the other one then.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Bailx:
well... i'll probably just hold out for a future dePixel8 type solution...

maybe they'll crack these newer phones eventually...

you are right that it is a really good stock rom,

but it's still very limiting on it's customization options.

worst ringtones EVER built into any phone too LOL

(but probably has the best wallpapers i've ever seen... those living wallpapers are really cool)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
They will but I don't think it necessary since your #2 is entirely correct. It's a great stock rom. But as for customization, don't negate Substratum for non-rooted devices. It's themes for the most part but nice stuff.

Horrible ring tones. Get some older ones and drop them into the proper folder, reboot and you should find them. I do that all the time. The wallpapers are unbeatable.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] KSlith:
HEADS UP: Samsung has to specifically patch out certain 3rd party docks for updates to affect them, Only older SMOS docks have been patched out in the Oreo update thus far, but newer SMOS docks supposedly ship with that fixed.

Troubleshooting:

Note8 devices NEED a quick-charge power supply in order to enter DeX mode consistently.

This may also apply to S8 and S8+ phones with a large number of apps and/or games installed, or users with high power peripherals attached such as full size mechanical keyboards, gaming keyboards, high-gain wireless adaptors, or other smartphone.

Battery cases may prevent ANY dock from working properly, if you are using a battery case, start by removing it from your phone.

Some docks will not work without a 2A charger attached no matter what, others only work without power attached, try both and unplug your device from the dock between attempts.

If you are using some type of HDMI switch and the dock doesn't work, try plugging it directly into your TV instead, this is a surprisingly common cause that goes undiagnosed.

You may need to dock your phone into a REAL DeX or another already working 3rd party dock at least once for it to work on certain 3rd party docks, if none of the previous solutions worked and you can get access to one, try this before moving on. (Best Buy stores and some Boutiques may have a DeX setup by their galaxy devices for demonstration)

As a LAST resort you may have to format your device once before docking with a 3rd party dock for the first time. BACKUP YOUR DATA TO A SEPARATE LOCATION BEFORE DOING THIS!

Credits: GuyInDogSuit (Reported HDMI switch issue), player911 (Reported Reformat and quick-charge solutions), blackwolf (reported battery case issue and confirmed quick-charge solution), Amazon User Reviews (Reported and confirmed power supply issues with certain docks)

(To ROM devs using the stock ROM as a base: keep an eye out for patches to DeX related modules when you build new updates, and keep backups of code changes. they may attempt to patch out more docks in the future!)

Thanks for sharing! Really glad for someone making this thread :)

KSWNG

I bought a KSWNG adapter off Amazon based on description that it would work with Dex, high ratings, and lots of positive reviews of Dex Mode working.

I have a Note 8. I am running Oreo beta CRA9. Oreo was a test because Dex was failing to launch on the stock too.

The dock works great with my nintendo switch. When I hook the unit up to my Note 8, SAMSUNG DEX displays on my phone and on my TV. It does the little D..e..x animation, and then reboots. I see the little green/blue circle. And it just repeats this until I unplug the unit.

I've heard rumors that they may block 3rd party docks on Oreo builds, but even on stock it did this. I've never gotten Dex to load.

I have checked disabled system apps. I haven't factory defaulted yet due to this being a work phone, so I am looking at other solutions prior to a reset.

I'm just not sure if this is normal operation with 3rd party units, or if my Note 8 is bad.

UPDATE:

So I figured out that my KSWNG Dock works. I tested it with my buddies 8+. I factory defaulted my Note 8 and now it is working in DEX Mode, with some issues.

1. It requires power before entering DEX mode. Without power, it will only launch screen mirroring.

2. When Power is applied, the USB port disables. I've tested this without DEX, just using Android. If I connect the USB mouse up to the unit and plug it in, I can control the USB mouse pointer. As soon as I apply power, the mouse pointer goes away.

I HAVE gotten my external mouse to work in DEX before.... but it stopped and never worked again. I may have a funky USB-HDMI module. Occasionally it will complain of Water in my port.

It works fine using DEX standalone, with phone screen as touchpad. The only way I could get a mouse to work is perhaps bluetooth.

UPDATE 2:

I used my neighbors S8+, obviously stock, and the Dex loaded but again, disabled the full USB. I think this is probably common for this unit. I don't plan on buying another one to test. It does work on my Nintendo Switch perfectly and DOES do Dex. I will just have to pair up some bluetooth devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] mikewilc:
Got the Melopow model M002 from Amazon. Very small and light - pocket size. 1 x USB 3, 1 x USB-C (power supply), 1 x HDMI.

Works perfectly with SM-G950F AQL5 (Android 7.0), yet to be tested with CRAP.

Supports DeX and Mirroring, seamlessly transfers audio over HDMI, charges S8 during playback, stays cool all the time.

Pros: as above, also tested with Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse with no issues connected through USB dongle, supports USB flash disks

Cons: only single USB 3.x port, can't connect Samsung portable HDD (but same issue when connected directly to S8 - not enough juice to spin it up)

Was able to get the WDLAND 7 in 1 USBC HDMI hub to work, but needed quick charger to work. Official Samsung Note 8 charger and Lumsing 5 port charger with one QC3.0 port worked. Had to make sure that my battery phone case was removed as the passthrough USB-C seemed to prevent it from working.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] GuyInDogSuit:
Bought the Wofalodata dock, only to find it just charges my S8+, and SLOWLY, even with the adaptive charger my phone came with. I think I might be doing something wrong here.... Anyone else have this one? Any luck with it?

Oh, and I'm on Oreo CRC5.

ZYNUN with S8 Oreo works fine but it need more power for the charger than the office Samsung charger, i used Huawei AP81 charger.

Do ALL third party Dex adaptors require power on Android Oreo (most worked without power adaptors on Android 7)?

I want to update to Oreo but not if I need to plug in a power adaptor to use Dex.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StardustGeass:
AFAIK, on Oreo, you need to plug in external power for activating dex mode. Even on a hacked kernel, still need external power in my experience..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] forcedv:
That's a real let down especially since Oreo is such a nice update (use it on the S7).

Looks like the S8 plus will have to stay on Android 7.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] forcedv:
Well I bit the bullet and updated to Oreo on the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus.

Tested with my third party adaptor and it does require power to go into dex mode but if you remove the power cable you can still use your third party adaptor in mirror mode. That works just fine for me.

Is there a way to use the phone while it's in dex mode (currently it's either a Trackpad or if the USB mouse is connected it's just a black screen)???
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories] StardustGeass:
Currently, only note 9 have the capability to use the phone while in dex mode. Hopefully that ability will be passed to older dex generation phones.

Thank you for the reply.

I just need to plug the PD power before connecting the USB-C to my Note 8

There are some other brands that sell the same model, I suppose they also work in DeX mode.

Do I need a special power adapter for pass through charging to work correctly? I have a Note8, this hub https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B07B7F835Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and the original Samsung wall charger.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] pidocchio:
Hello,

I have these two sensors that always show a value of 37°C, no matter what is the ambient temperature.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mpetruzz:
Basically that's my question. I'm considering selling my lg v30 and keeping my essential but I really like that feature.

Just wondering if that will be an option once the update to Oreo comes out. I haven't been brave enough to try the beta to see for myself, so I wanted to ask
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Seamonkey79:
It's not there in the beta, I'm doubtful it will be added. On past LCD devices that have had custom kernels add tap to wake, the battery drains like crazy since most of them have in-cell touch now, so the screen is on if the digitizer is on. Likely we would too, if it was added. I do miss it, that is the one thing I liked about my G3.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] TheDethEgineer:
As far as i know it is mostly a hardware thing not software
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] RoyXavier:
I want either. My previous Xperia X with this feature, but seems not drain much battery.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Wredal:
Maybe they could add it in a different way. E.g. double touch the camera to wake (and use proximity sensor to detect the event).
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ZooBaAr:

[P3600 General] mialemat:
Is it possibile installing a different O.S. on a SD?

Is it possibile booting from an O.S. installed on a SD card?Just like a powerful PC can we create a dual boot loader?

It would be wonderful making a choice to start from resident O.S. or from an installed O.S. in the SD.

Thanks in advance for your kind reply.
[P3600 General] Rudegar:
i doubt it

never heard about the bootloader being able to use the sdcard for anything but to take an image from and flash the rom with it

also sdcards are very very much slower then internal flash so it would mean a very very slow start if it was possible
[P3600 General] sp3dev:
well. actually i had such idea. the idea is to integrate sd drivers to xip, create imgfs and 2 fat partitions on sd and launch xip from xip. unfortunately, because of some strange bootloader behavior on my asus 525, i have not yet managed to start a xip from ram, it keeps falling to the one on DoC..))) but i think everything is possible. just you need to be very careful when migrating from flashdrv to sdmemory - it`s hard to set up the driver for os root correctly

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
This probably isn't a phone problem. Sounds like your mobile provider? Many carriers/MVNOs who offer "unlimited" data plans clearly state they will limit streaming to lower resolution.

Even my provider turns on this "data saver" option as default choice and I have to go in and turn if OFF. (I don't have unlimited data plan, so I can turn it off. On my provider's unlimited plans, users cannot turn that off.)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] steve841:
If you have TMobile, it's their settings that allow unlimited streaming.
