[Google Chromecast 2015] julien3001:
Hi all,

I'm looking for a device to do mainly the following things :

- play music from my laptop (windows 7), stored on a NAS. Via midows media player, VLC ... It's very easy to manage playlist with specific software audio on PC (sorted by albums, artists, or files ...)

- play music and/or videos from my laptop (windows 7), from youtube, deezer ...

- play photos & videos from my laptop (windows 7), stored on my NAS. Via windows photo viewer, picasa ...

- and incidentally play photos and videos from my phone S7 Edge

- and if possible, have the same image than my laptop : mirror

I would like to do something simple, but wireless. Indeed, I work today with Jack and HDMI cables between my laptop and my Yamaha amplifier ... But not practical.

Do you have an idea of which type of device I need to buy : chromecast, miracast, EZcast, chinese clone like that :

https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/FORN...X-YouTube-Sans-Fil-WiFi-HDMI/32833140058.html

I will be good for a Chinese clone, the price is very interesting. But I dont know if it will meet my needs. But also be reliable

Thanks a lot for your help

Anyone know how to get the adjust to fit screen option that use to be there? I don't have the icon any more

So I made a thing. I'll make it into a flashable zip shortly (it'll be on github). Tested on XT1687. I literally wrote out the commands to do the backup for you, if you **** this up it's not my fault.

Enables NFC, DTV, and Dual SIM. You might need to do more modifications or install additional APKs for DTV support, NFC might be ROM dependent or hardware dependent, it's enabled though.

Reboot to recovery (TWRP), run commands, enjoy?

adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p50 of=/tmp/mmcblk0p50.bak"; adb pull /tmp/mmcblk0p50.bak
wget https://github.com/NiteSnow/Motorola-G5-Plus-MODs/raw/master/p50.mod.bin; adb push p50.mod.bin /tmp/p50.mod.bin; adb shell "dd if=/tmp/p50.mod.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p50"

[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] DustArma:
I highly doubt they work because the models lack the hardware
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] NiteSnow:
I agree, it doesn't cause any issues to have those extra options enabled but the dual sim mod does work, it has the contacts to be able to support dual sim. I just don't have another sim to test with right this second. I'm going to look into adding an additional IMEI for sim2 via QPST.

Would this help with a non working data issue for the same phone?

Hey I've got a question for ya, and i can't seem to find a straight answer in this forum. I've got the Moto G5 Plus X1687 as well, but no matter what rom I flash, i can't get data to work as it should. I'm using Boost Mobile as my carrier. Any chance this could be of use to me?
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] blueberry.sky:
Would be awesome if you could get dual sim to work. Perhaps it can work with the same IMEI as long as the 2nd sim is a completely different provider / network? Such as sim 1 Verizon, sim 2 AT&T.

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

Did data work on the stock rom? Did you do any PRL update or activation on the phone? A PRL update normally gets the APNs needed for data service. You can also fill in your APN settings manually if necessary. Let me know if it works or not. I'm interested in getting a g5+ to use on a sprint MVNO like boost.
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] merx773:
Sorry for the late reply. While I haven't tried your MOD yet, I did have one of those fun scary and patience testing amateur technology "expert" experiences that caused my IMEI to get wiped from my phone. I simply don't like to wait or read instructions thoroughly sometimes and rush into any pretty, feature packed ROM blissfully unaware of the horrors of not being able to use one's phone ( I couldn't work, or order pizza for a few days, it wasn't that bad though). BUT I will say that deleting the modem files in my version and then flashing back to stock (or flashing an old recovery that previously didn't work until I tried a more current TWRP) put me right back where I needed to be with my data connection at 4G. I suspect this could work any time (with this model of the phone at least) that something goes awry with the data connection and putting in a new flashy rom.

I just did the whole: fastboot delete modemst1

fastboot delete modemst2

Rebooted the phone, let it sit for a half hour, noticed data back up and then flashed the rom of my choice. Mostly works every time, even if going back to a recovery backup doesn't do the trick.

Now keep in mind that I'm not a pro, I just like to think that I am, and based on what you see here, you may want to dig a little deeper in the forums of XDA because if you do it my way, YMMV. ;)

Happy flashing!

Is there a way to get the dual SIM (or SIM2) working for the unrooted versions. I can't get it to work on my XT1685 phone
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] nethead25:
I can confirm the mod works and the second SIM slot is recognized and recognizes a SIM inserted into it, including its phone number. However I can't register on the network as the SIM 2 does not have an IMEI set. Could anyone advise if it is possible to set a random IMEI for the second SIM slot?

This is a US XT1687. I tried fastboot erase modemst2 for good measure and it didn't pull it back in.

Nate
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] bonchien:
No luck for me. I did the mod using Root Browser as I kept getting read only file system errors when trying to use the adb commands. I don't see anything different in the system menus on my Moto G5 plus on Sprint. I'm on build NPN25.137-83. Maybe it's because I'm on a CDMA carrier?

Edit: I got the mod working after I did it a second time over writing the mmcblk0p50 file directly into the /dev/block/ directory. I don't have a 2nd SIM or the dual sim ard tray yet, so I can't test with a second SIM card.
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] nethead25:
One indicator of possible future success is if you go to About phone in settings, you should see the IMEI for SIM 1 and if you see 0 for the IMEI for SIM 2 you're stuck where I am. If there's a real number there you're at least further along than I made it. If you're at zero, even if the second SIM works it won't register on a network.
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] bonchien:
I've got the same, IMEI for SIM 2 is at 0.
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] bonchien:
So, I'm at the same point. I got the dual sim card tray and activated a SIM on a different network. Only SIM 1 works. SIM 2 is always searching for a network no matter which SIM is in the SIM 2 slot. I haven't tried fastboot erase modemst2 and flashing a stock ROM. Not sure if it's worth the trouble.
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] bonchien:
Maybe a little progress. I tried following this guide using QPST to enter an IMEI 2 for my Moto G5 plus: https://www.androidbrick.com/ultima...agon-xiaomi-mi5-imei-and-baseband-repair-fix/

To get the Moto G5 Plus to be recognized by QPST, I had to boot to QCOM mode. First boot to recovery then select QCOM and start the phone. I couldn't make a Software Download backup using a CDMA sim card as I got an error stating "could not download PRL." I stuck in a GSM sim card and made a backup in Software Download. Although the backup said complete, the total progress stopped at 99%. I waited 10 to 15 minutes then shut QPST down. I can read the software download backup QCN file per the guide in a Hex editor and found my IMEI 1 number. I don't know where the IMEI 2 number should be entered. Assuming the Hex location will begin with 080A, I searched for this string and found it twice within the QCN file. We probably need a QCN backup file from a Moto G5 plus that has the IMEI 2 number written so we can search for it and overwrite it with our own. Since the Moto G5 Plus is a dual sim standby phone, I believe IMEI 2 should be the same as IMEI 1.

[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] bonchien:
I think we need a QCN backup from a working dual sim phone to know where to input the SIM 2 IMEI. I'm still at the point where SIM 2 does not register on the network.
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mrkblo:

[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] nethead25:
As a PSA to everyone that may have tried this mod, I've found that after upgrading to Oreo, my modem will no longer turn on. The device is able to detect the SIM and phone number (and has its IMEI for slot 1), but it can't connect to any networks or activate the radio. Oddly, it still shows SIM 2 information, including the IMEI 0.

I had to restore the mod using the backup I created at the beginning and then reflash the ROM, after which the device worked on mobile networks again.
[Moto G5 Plus Themes, Apps, and Mods] neko98:
Please can you upload your backup , the dame thing happened to me
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] andraita:
I'm not sure where else to put this, and I haven't managed to find any solutions in any of the other threads about this, so hopefully some of you knowledgeable folks can help.

On my S4, then S6 Edge I had a Tasker profile to turn on Do Not Disturb automatically when I plug my phone in to charge at night, and it worked a treat.

Now with the S8, no matter what I try, it still vibrates and activates the LED notification, even though it is showing as Do Not Disturb mode on, and in the settings I have ticked all the options to hide notifications when the screen is on, and off, and set no exceptions, or alarms only with the same result.

Any ideas?

Should I just try a different configuration in Tasker that doesn't actually use the Samsung 'Do Not Disturb' mode? Like I had on the S4, before there was a Do Not Disturb option?

I have even tried it with Tasker disabled, and just the system Do Not Disturb mode enabled, but it still disturbed..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] nacos:
In Tasker set Do Not Disturb to Alarms if you want to get the alarms sound only.

Other options:

None = NO sound at all - all muted

Priority = As set in settings

All = All sounds/vibration are audible (on/unmuted) = back to normal

Alarms = only alarms are audible

The variable controlling the Do Not DIsturb in Tasker is %INTERRUPT. As far as I know, the LED notification doesn't have anything to do with Do Not Disturb mode.

If none of the above works as intended (no vibrations), try using Sound Mod Plugin instead. I had mixed results with it in Nougat, but it's worth giving it a try.

Wish it didn't have screen issues, but I still may.

I have a 67 days let out of 90 to return the note 8. bought it from Costco's. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gizmoe:
I agree. I have always been a gapps kind of guy until I got the note 8. I hate to admit the Pixel line is just boring compared to the direction Samsung is going. I used to hate Samsung and touchwiz (especially my sgs6). But it's much different now. It is actually more useful and customizable than ever before. Everything works as expected and the Samsung apps can be used or turned off. I find I have been preferring the Samsung versions over Google. They integrate better and have more useful features. This wasn't true just 3 years ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xuanphucn:
the 90 days return doesn't apply for cellphones i believe. all the carrier tablets and phones have 14 days return policy
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] spjetrovic:
This is from Costco's

If I do not like my phone, can I return it?

Costco's return policy for cellular phones is 90 days from date of original purchase. Within 90 days you may receive a refund on the handset itself. However, if you cancel service outside of the 14-day carrier trial period you are responsible for any applicable fees (see carrier Cancellation Policy). All phone(s) must be returned in a complete, like-new condition with all accessories, box, and instructions. Within the 90-day period a defective/non-working phone may only be exchanged for the exact same model. Costco does not sell replacements for broken or damaged phones. Phones may not be returned or exchanged for a different model. All cellular phone purchases require either a new 2-year activation agreement or a qualified upgrade.

You can also set Google photos to the default photo app by selecting other tab and then images and then Google photos.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] spjetrovic:
Yes that's right. but you misunderstood. I can't even see g/ photos in Samsung's messaging app when attempting to attach a photo. It defaults to Samsung gallery with out an option to open Google photos.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gizmoe:
On the bottom of the keyboard go to the other tab. Then select the images icon. It should give you an option to select your default app option. Google photos being one of them. If not, clear defaults to the gallery app and try again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Same here. I've had a few Samsung's, a couple LGs, but always tried to make them as stock as possible, or flash AOSP ROMs if possible. Then I always went back to Nexus/Pixel. With the S8+ and now my Note 8, I have no desire to go back to the Pixel. I'm sold on Samsung.

The build quality of the hardware is unmatched, not even by Apple. I'm hooked on Samsung Pay. And yes, I LOVE Samsung Internet. I actually get annoyed when something opens in Chrome by default. I may end up disabling Chrome altogether. The lag seems to finally be gone and these phones fly.

I know the Pixel 2 camera is supposed to be better, but in all real life reviews, the results are between this year's top flagships are so close it's ridiculous.

Last night I even disabled GMail and signed into my GMail account on the stock Samsung email app. I love the GMail app, but I love the exclusive preview feature with the SPen. If i didn't use Google Voice as my primary number, I'd probably switch over to the stock Messages app, but I'm stuck with Hangouts. Which is fine, I'm one of the few who loves Hangouts. I'm even using TouchWiz home instead of Google Now or Nova.

Oh, and the Samsung autofill on Oreo is AWESOME. Beats out the Google autofill in my opinion, because it's a little more secure, but just as fast and convenient. But you have the option to choose either one.

Point being, the Samsung apps and experience is light years ahead of what it used to be. You still have the option to switch over to almost all Google apps, including the launcher, bit it's not necessary anymore, or in many cases, even preferable, on a Samsung device now.

This is all, of course, just my opinion. I personally think the OP would be happier with a Pixel 2XL. I loved my Pixel before I got my S8+.

I cannot make out what exactly you mean by sorting well but Samsung Mail is more optimised for the Note 8 than Chrome.

It has all the basics covered so it should easily be able to replace any other email client. I have 2 different email accounts connected and never encountered any usablity problems. It has all the usual perks in sorting your mails including starring.

It overalls runs far more smoothly and loads emails quicker than Chrome.

And lastly, I find the UI really simple and elegant.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] aakanayev:
So Google has his app called Inbox (it's like Gmail but better) that sorts all your emails into finance, social, updates, personal, etc. It does it automatically. If you haven't tried Inbox yet I really urge you to do so, it's extremely handy because of that sorting it does.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsnipes:
I recently picked up a the F-05e but it has ICS on it. I see that there is JB and downloaded the update but can't figure out what it should be named or where to put it for the built-in firmware update (power button + volume up) to see it and apply it. The file is called UpdatePackageFile.dat and I put it in the root of the SDCard but it says it can't be found. I can't read Japanese and the translate options don't appear to be helping me too much. I am using this page:

http://spf.fmworld.net/fujitsu/c/update/nttdocomo/f-05e/update2/top/index.html#heading02

If I try to follow the instructions on the above page, the tablet tells me "Software update is necessary for the Android system upgrade. Launch this application again after the update is done." When I try to do the software update, I get an error that says I must be connected to the Docomo network for it to work. "When docomo network is not available, or during roaming, software update is not available even if Wi-Fi is connected." It might be that the tablet can't be updated but it is worth a shot. If nothing else, the tablet can run a good percentage of Android software (Netflix, ereaders, not too heavy games, etc).

Any help is appreciated.
