[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Airwolf79:
The touch screen vibration drives me crazy on this phone. Every phone I've ever had I've been able to adjust the touch vibration. Even on the Gboard keyboard if u set the vibration to the lowest setting (1ms), it doesn't change the intensity. I know I could just turn it off, but I like to have just a slight vibration when I'm typing. I'm rooted with Magisk and Xposed. Does anyone know of any apps or modules that could fix this problem?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
Google needs to add this to the sound & notification category. Samsung had vibration sensitivity and I would set it to a very mild vibrate, which was good, but the default one is too strong. Most keyboards even if you set the vibration intensity, nothing changes, still the same.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Airwolf79:
I tested the Gboard settings again just to verify. It actually does change the intensity. The problem is, the lowest value is not low enough. There's gotta be a way to lower this value.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] 1901madison:
Can vibration intensity be fixed with a software update? Isn't it more the hardware?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
Yes, that is what I wanted to say: Even changing intensity to lowest, still it feels like a default setting. My Note 5 and Galaxy S8 were good, I could set it way lower and barely feel it.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] cooldan613:
Hello,

Do you think that when and if lg releases Android 8.0 it would have support for Project Treble? Possible it would over time be done through development be done if people are still willing to for this device.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] One Twelve:
Project treble is mandatory only if the phone launches with Oreo. If LG doesn't support it then little can be done.

I would not hold my breath on this because even the V30 isn't technically required to support treble
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
I have a G6 and have been wondering the same things. Another thread talks about the difficulties in 'retro fitting' it to old devices. Seems the biggest hurdle would be to partition the drive (for vendor) OTA. To partition a drive isn't so big, we've all done it right? But to do it OTA, I can see why some mfg's may not be too keen on that.

I'm waiting to see what happens to my G6 after the Oreo update, I think it will be highly unlikely there will then be a separate partition, but we'll see. Assuming not, maybe there will be a way to create one yourself and get project treble going yourself somehow, we'll see.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaimgross:
I want to buy a galaxy note 5 from Amazon while I'm in America and use it in a different country where I live.

The device I am considering is the sm-n920a. I've checked the cellular bands and they Mach.

I'm have a few questions since it is not the international version or the sm-n920c that is sold in my country.

1. I heard people saying that it won't fully support my language since it is an att phone. It seemed odd to me because I thought that if the international version supports the language any module should.

2. Will there be a problem with OTA updates?

3. At the price point of 360$, is the note 5 really the best phone to buy?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mufrad:
I have an unlocked AT&T Note 5 and an international one, both work perfectly even though I live outside America. And about updates I am not sure but you can always search for custom roms with the latest features for the device on the forum. And overall the n5 is a great phone in my opinion, has everything you need in a phone and more.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] stanglifemike:
Wondering if anyone is using, or knows, which bumper cases are good for the Note 8. I was considering going with Rhino Shield (here https://rhinoshield.io/products/samsung-galaxy-note-8-bumper-case?variant=37367332289 , but not sure after reading the reviews. Wanted to see what you guys are using and your thoughts on them.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] treoarx:
I got that for my wifes S8. its cool, she dropped it a couple of times no marks. I also got the liquid screen protector which is awesome. For my note I got the speigan case tough armor they have a couple of other options but, I went with this one.

Hope this helps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] midmofan:
Well I got it and do like it. It is not rubbery as I thought it would be, it is smooth plastic and is a bit slick but does improve on the grip of the Note quite a bit. I may add a thin strip of electrical tape to the sides.

Went on with no trouble but nice and snug. Buttons are actually easier for me to use with the case on then bare. Bottom port holes are pretty deep so may have an issue with some connectors - a right angle headphone jack might have trouble.

It appears that it will offer good protection from drops but nothing for screen scratches so I put on a screen protector as well,

.

several good reviews in the general/generic note 8 forum.

Hi Everyone,

I am having massive troubles getting Windows Mobile Device Centre under Vista to sync with my HTC TyTn which I have just upgraded to WM6. I had sync issues before the upgrade and now Im at my wits end.

Simply put the device wont sync!! It worked well the first time and I have been having issues since. There seems to be some sort of driver conflict, but I'm not even certain of this because the computer isnt giving me any real message or feedback. One noticeable thing that happens consistantly is that after an attempted sync my Fusion HDTV Card no longer works! The card is a PCI card but seems to consume USB ports...so I'm a little uncertain as to what is happening there??

Anyone have any ides?

I know that now this was my first and my last Alcatel phone I like the phone but Alcatel showed that they don't care about their customers today Samsung announced that his 3 year old S6 phone will get also Android 8 update and so with newer device no upadate's... shame for Alcatel not for us
[Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion] macallik:
Oreo added a functionality called Project Treble which makes updating phones easier because it segregates the sections that need to get updated so that Carriers/Manufacturers can update their code quicker. Without that functionality, it is possible to get Oreo, but updates are just as hard to implement as Nougat would be.

In short, no, I don't think that Idol 4S will ever get Oreo. I do think that any future phone should have Oreo (with Project Treble) to potentially avoid this situation in the future.

[Alcatel Idol 4S Guides, News, & Discussion] ValterSilva1990:
Sometimes i just can't believe alcatel's flagship phone(yes i'm aware of the idol 5s) won't receive any major update... No android 7,no android 8, no nothing. Alcatel(Tcl) has become a joke, they only care about releasing as much crappy low budget devices they possibly can, while software support for said devices is non existent. Its a shame really, because every once in a while they can release a good smartphone(idol 4s) that is completely forgotten software wise. No more alcatel for me...

hello,I'm wondering if I can use a PS4 dualshock4 controller wired or XBOXONE bluetooth controller wired to instead the nvidia shield controller, during the rooting process. Because I just bought a Nvidia Shield tv 2017 only with the remote.
[Shield Android TV General] jeky82:
tested with usb keyboard with its dongle .. and it works

If you do not own a SHIELD controller

Unplug SHIELD TV.

Connect a USB keyboard directly to SHIELD TV (use port closest to HDMI)

While holding the "A" and "B" keys down at the same time, connect power to SHIELD TV.

Once you enter Fast Boot mode, on the keyboard use the "X" and "Y" keys to navigate the menu and "A" to select

What SU/Magisk are you guys using? Bootloader unlocked fine, TWRP installs and runs fine -- but after I flash an SU package the device won't boot.
[Shield Android TV General] jionny:
Did you install(flash) or fastboot twrp? if you flashed that is probably your problem. I have a pro but I imagine its the same for oreo you need supersu 2.82
[Shield Android TV General] BIOYAM:
I can confirm using the Logitech K400 keyboard.... Plug the USB “nub” into the other USB port (the one right next to the HDMI port).

I was able to successfully complete the entire rooting procedure using it.

UP and DOWN keys to move through menus.... and the ENTER key to select.

The built in touchpad on this keyboard was also able to navigate through TWRP to emulate the necessary mouse actions.

Hope this helps........

So the issue I'm now running into (this thing is a pain in the ass) is when using fastboot boot twrp.img it reboots, displays the N logo.. and freezes.

I've used the fastboot boot method on hundreds of devices, this one included (previously) but I'm clearly getting something wrong.

Have tried every logical twrp build I can find.

I appreciate the help btw.
[Shield Android TV General] jionny:
How long does it freeze before you try and do something about it, you also may want to try and unplug the power and anything else hooked up to it and let it sit for about 30 min then retry, if that doesnt work suggest you factory reset and then leave it on without attempting anything letting it sit for about 20-30 min then retry to fastboot twrp

As of now there isn't any decent protector in terms of tempered glass from one of the premium brands available in India. If you can't wait you could order directly from rhinoshield or intelliarmor of their websites and expedite a shipment. As of now I'm using one from Marshland which isn't great at all but it gets the job done as a temporary guard till something new comes out.

I would like to suggest a method for securing phones against theft.

Nowadays, After a phone is stolen, the first thing they do is Switching it Off or Put it in Silent Mode.

Even if the phone is protected by Pin or Passwords, it doesn't restrict them from accessing those options.

If there was a way to restrict access to Silent mode or Shutting down the phone, the chances of retrieving the phone will be considerably increased.
