[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] webparrot:
A month ago while doing some off road bike riding I found a S8 on the trail. I call Verizon and they said they would get back to me on that to do with the phone. They never called back.

I've placed a ad on Craigslist and have called Verizon 4 times. No one seems interested in the recovery of this phone. I could use it to fly my drone but it's locked. I tried a reset but it's asking for the old Google account info. Is it possible for me to root this phone so it can be used on WiFi? My other option would be skipping it accross the San Francisco bay. I wonder how many skips I could get.

Thanks for any input on this post.

You could just flash stock firmware on it, using Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] jpcdeux:
Flash unlocked (G950U1) firmware on it and wipe it through recovery. Should allow setup without needing the account linked to it
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] partcyborg:
No, that does not erase frp. Frp bypass discussion is forbidden on XDA, as the #1 reason to use it is to resell stolen phones.

To OP there are enough resources on the internet that you should be able to figure out whether or not this is possible yourself.

You could also just figure out what carrier it's on, walk into their store and hand it to them so it can be reunited with its owner. I know if I lost my $800 phone I'd be pretty sad. Definitely better than destroying it, seemingly out of spite
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sahilg009:
There is a combination file which you can flash via odin to bypass frp

google it for more info

thank you for your input. I'm not sure how but I will try to close this thread down or delete.

Because of my busy schedule I was trying to have verison send me a mailer so I could send them the phone. Also I was just kidding about skipping the phone across the bay. I would never do that. I have left the phone on since I found it expecting someone to call it so I could find the owner but there has been nothing. The owner probably got replacement through insurance leaving this phone disconnected.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSamaungC:
I'm not sure where to post this but here we go.

I've been replacing phone batteries for a while now, more of a side project for extra income. I also do board level repairs thought 90% of that is computer related.

So the oddity I have stumbled upon is that after replacing the battery on a HTC One M8, of which I have done quite a few of, the digitizer became unresponsive.

First thought was of course that the ribbon cable wasn't seated properly however it was. In fact everything checked out fine.

I removed the new battery and re-installed the original one and the digitizer returned to normal.

I repeated this three additional times, twice with two older batteries left over from previous jobs plus the phones original battery and the new battery. Each time the digitizer would become unresponsive with the new battery installed and then return to normal when the older batteries where installed.

The battery is the last one of my "New" stock that I purchased just a couple of months ago and none of them have given me any trouble.

This is the first time I have encountered any sort of trouble with a simple battery replacement.

How could a battery be the rout of the problem?

I have placed an order for a new stock of M8 batteries, though I expect the number of replacements to drop significantly, from the same supplier and will be returning this one. They are OEM and as I stated this is the first one that has any sort of problem.

Any idea's? I won't be sending the new one back for a couple of weeks so I have it at my disposal to test. My next step is to try it out on my own phone as it has been close to two years since I replaced it's battery.

Just to add on to the mystery, I installed the new battery into my own phone last night, same thing happened. I left the battery in place and plugged in my old one without any change, digitizer was still not responsive.

I re-installed my old battery and it functioned fine and then connected the new battery while the old one was still installed and the phone functioned fine.

So something is missing with the new battery that is causing the problem. I also noted last night the the physical size of the new battery is slightly smaller.

In any case the company is sending a replacement and it is the only one out of the 12 that I had purchased that has given me any trouble.

Now I really want to know what else is tucked in with the battery that could cause this.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tashrif:
The battery may not be giving enough voltage to power the device hence the problem arises. It's an obviously defective battery. Get it replaced
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSamaungC:
I would concur with that if it wasn't for the fact that if I leave the original battery in place and connect the new one to the motherboard the phone operates properly.

I'm 100% sure it is the fault of the new battery, just wondering why it would cause the problem when it is physically installed.

The other point is if anyone else comes across this problem I'm just making them aware that it is something to look at instead of thinking it is the connection or damaged digitizer.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jemeljsh:
Hi,

Since I wanted to enable heads up notification/banner for all incoming Gmail notifications on my s8+ (Nougat 7.0, AQK7), I went the same way as I did on all my other Nougat based phones:

1. Enabled System UI Tuner (hold Settings button in notification panel and release it and System UI Tuner will appear in Settings (very bottom right above Developer Options (if enabled));

2. In System UI Tuner enabled Power notification controls allowing you to change notification levels from 1 to 5;

3. Opened Gmail App Notification settings (there are many ways to get there but the easiest is to long press on a gmail notification in the notification panel and wait for it to open or hit more setting on other Nougat based firmwares);

4. Tried changing the level of importance but it does not work. Although it appears the same way as on other nougat firmwares, you cannot actually tap one of the marked points on the slider (levels of notif.importance)..

Anyone has a solution to this ? How to unlock / edit notifications levels same as on any other nougat based android ? I want gmail to appear the same way whatsapp/sms messages appear and not just silently appear in the notification panel.

Floatify seems to be the only option.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] gherbert:
I'm having exactly the same problem!

I was thinking that a custom firmware problem, but apparently not!

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jemeljsh:
I managed to somewhat solve this issue (see bellow in detail). Besides missing banner/heads-up notification from Gmail I also wanted to have just regular lock-screen (AOD disabled) which wakes up on any notification (unfortunately on Samsung (Nougat 7.0, AQK7) only default messaging app wakes up the lock screen (for example, Whatsapp and Gmail do not wake the screen and only Led indicator is triggered when screen is off (AOD disabled, lock screen mode set to Swipe only).

1. Ok, so here's how I managed to have heads up banner type notifications from Gmail when S8+ is unlocked:

1.1. Installed Floatify Lockscreen (I have also Floatify Pro Unlocker which I had bought long time ago,

so I am not sure if all features set in my config file will work on free version

);

1.2. Configured Floatify Lockscreen (see my Floatify Lockscreen config file in attachment that you can also use) only for Gmail notifications when phone is unlocked (all other Apps are left unchecked see with all other apps you will have issues with double notifications considering that in Sammy firmware you cannot adjust Notification level of importance.

1.3. Baaaam..now when unlocked I get gmail notifications heads up with option to delete, quick reply, direct reply with pre-set replies.

2. 2nd issue to solve – any received notification wakes up the screen (AOD disabled, Edge led notif. disabled (no point of having it if does not work on all apps properly), lock screen – swipe to unlock):

2.1. Install Glimpse Notification;

2.2. Enable notification access to it and baaaam -> any incoming notification wakes up the screen with all available options to quick reply/delete/mark as read.

Floatify configuration backup:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KWvkW3kc_Y14OZlps_anq4afWYJ1RLgO/view?usp=sharing

^^^^^^^^

To use this you must:

1. Install Floatify;

2. Go to Help -> Backup -> Backup;

3. Replace backup file you created with mine (location Internal Storage -> Floatify);

4. Go to Help -> Backup -> Restory.

5. Baaaaaaaaaam and you have Gmail banner notifications wth ability to fully expande the message + with 4 actions to take (quick reply, delete, direct reply or go straight to the app). The style blends in very well on stock S8+ theme and rounded corners.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jemeljsh:
One more way to solve this is to use note 8 firmware ([ROM][N8PORT][STABLE][N][7.1.1][BQK6][06.12.17][SM-G95XF/FD/N] IronMan-Rom V1.1.0). With n8port superman rom ai tuner works + notification levevs can be changed,

meaning you can set gmail and any other app that sends notifications to allow peaking :fingers-crossed::good:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jemeljsh:
You are wrong man, since you are accessing the options wrongly (

you probably trying to change levels through Settings->Notifications but that won't get it done

).

Step by step to get it to work on IronMan Rom:

1. Fully expand Quick Toggle panel and hold on Settings button for few seconds;

2. Once you release it System UI Tuner will be unlocked and available at Settings -> System UI Tuner;

3. Open System UI Tuner;

4. Go to Other -> Power notification controls -> click ON;

5. Then make sure you have a unread message in the notification panel from Gmail or any other app which by default has importance level bellow 4 set by the firmware default settings;

6. Press and hold on the received notification for few seconds and options to change notifications levels (see screenshot) will open up. Hit the star with A in it to unlock the possibility to change levels. Starting with Level 4 (gmail on s8+ firmware is locked at level 3 therefore Peak/Banner does not appear while unlocked) you will get Banner notifications from gmail. :good:

Important ->

Edge Led notifications have to be disabled for this to work

, because Edge Led notifications are totally different type of notifications that appear as floating message.

+ I don't use AOD (Security settings -> No fingeprint, just Swipe), since I want to have just a regular lock screen that wakes up one every received notification, but enabling AOD won't affect notifications that you receive on an unlocked phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] gherbert:
Thanks for your time and effort to answer me.

Ok, the System Tuner UI part is ok! I enabled and set to on the PowerNotifications.

But when I try to change the importance level, it send me to the Notification option on System Menu.

I can't select like you showing in the print screen.

And I can't changed at all, it's always configured as Level 4.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jemeljsh:
Are you doing this on IronMan rom?

You have to long hold on a notification that is located in the notification panel and option to change importance levels will be accesible (for some apps even without clicking the Star icon with A in it).

[Samsung Gear S2] Matei004:
Hi. I recently purchased a second hand Gear S2. I managed to connect it to a Huawei P10, but after turning off the bluetooth by mistake and re-enabling it, the watch asks to do a Factory Reset in order to connect with a device that was already connected with it before :confused: . After that, I managed to connect it with my older Glaxy A3 2017 and tried to update the software, but surprise, a pop-up shows saying "Your Gear has been modified. Software Update is not avaible.". Ideas how to fix that? Or this issue is because my Gear S2 (purchased second hand) is a Live Demo Unit?
[Samsung Gear S2] adfree:
Look at Rear Case/Back Cover...

In theory you will find... NOT FOR SALE...

Anyway... if you know which exact model name...

SM-R720X

or

SM-R732X

or

:confused:

You can flash Retail Firmware... via netOdin...

Better you choose correct Firmware, according to Model Name...

Only as info.

Best Regards
[Samsung Gear S2] Matei004:
Yeah, it says Not For Sale. Model number is SM-R720X. Can you please give me a link for firmware download?
[Samsung Gear S2] adfree:
Check first Firmware on Device... with this Code:

*#1234#

Problem with LDU... Live Demo Unit

Since EPK5 it looks like Firmware detect LDU... and disable WiFi for use with netOdin...

And for valid FOTA use... you need "valid" Sales Code/CSC + Firmware Combination... otherwise you can again not update via Samsung FOTA...

Best Regards
[Samsung Gear S2] Matei004:
When entering the code *#1234#, the watch shows AP : R720XXU2AOIL and CSC : R720OXX2AOIL .

Also seem like the computer can find the AP connection from the watch and also it can connect, and netOdin does detect the watch too.

Try FIRST with older BOKK Firmware:

https://www.file-upload.net/download-12731427/smR720_BOKK_OXA.zip.html

Be carefully to download the 600 MB package... NOT any .EXE file.

I hope you will find netOdin + Instruction... otherwise ask...

Best Regards
[Samsung Gear S2] Matei004:
OK, after that, what do I need to do next?
[Samsung Gear S2] adfree:
If you successfully flashed BOKK Firmware...

You can check if valid Sales Code/SCS is set... and you have your languages...

Because you have now OXX region Firmware... and I have only OXA BOKK...

If BOKK is on device... check via Phone if you get FOTA Update...

If not... then post result...

So we could try something... to make it "compatible"...

Best Regards
[Samsung Gear S2] Matei004:
I successfully installed BOKK firmware and I have my language, which is in my case romanian, but in the Samsung Gear App, I still get the same error: Your Gear has been modified. Software updates are not available. :(
[Samsung Gear S2] adfree:
Do you know SDB Tool?

You are able to work with it?

We could try to identify, why Gear Manager App detect some Modification...

Maybe they increased Security to identify SM-R720X...

Hey dudes, some news-

I regularly monitor over a dozen threads and boards concerning this issue, and here's the CURRENT STATUS of this project-

No developments have been made.

We can put linux on the SD card, and boot from that... but other than that, HP has made it nearly impossible for us to do ANYTHING to the original ROM that's in there. Granted, it's a POS, especially considering all the god aweful processes that HP has running in the background. I was this changed as much as anyone. No I saw earlier on that someone is willing to have their device worked on/submitted for experimentation. If this is true, then that's a big plus... I'll give a link in a sec showing where you can go to discuss that. There are a number of people working on this issue, but sadly, none of them are on here really... XDA is not the place to go for PDA support. Granted, almost anyone can get their questions answered, but no one on here is working on this problem to my knowledge.

http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=265547&page=5

This thread is based on a false alarm that someone had for making a 6.1 ROM, but we're continuing the search here, and to my knowledge is one of the only regularly active threads concerning this. We have made some developments, but nothing concrete yet... HP's a ***** with this PDA.

If anyone has any other links to share, do so... I need all the information I can get on this, as I'm sure alot of you do. If anyone even reads this, then good- I'll know my little speech here wasn't all wasted.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexus Radical:
Hello,

Forever pretty much I've been experiencing issues with my nexus 6p. I got it second hand but it seemed fine when I got it. Now, however, after a little inactivity, I find that unlock my phone will cause it to crash or reboot instantly. Its right after it unlocks that it does this. It's not every time but it happens a lot. It also sometimes happens a little bit after unlocking the phone after inactivity. Its like when it needs to drain more power from the battery than its used to it will just crash on me.

The only real thing that prevents this is keeping the phone on charge. Then again, it has happened before where it will still die on me. I've replaced pretty much everything on the phone with the exception of the charging board and the main board. So stuff like the screen and battery have been replaced (+more). Not sure what is causing it. I've had this issue before on stock android but at the moment I'm running the final version of Resurrection Remix on Nougat.

How would I go about troubleshooting this?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrStark007:
Good observation. It is true that the reboot happens because of higher performance. It is caused by the four higher performance cores of the CPU starting to work. There is a fix.

What it does is to shutdown those four cores and you will be able to use only four of the lower performance but power efficient cores.

Thanks for the solution, but it seems like a very drastic trade-off for a fix. Is there nothing I can try to fix this like a system or boot.img patch that does something other than disable cores?

Either way, thank you.

My 6p just recently encountered the same symptoms as yours. Only way to keep it from rebooting is keeping it plugged in. I've found something that has worked for me so far, maybe it will work for you too. It seems like disabling the Doze feature has fixed this problem for me.
