[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] RossTeagan:
First, you need to check if your phone allows any forms of unlocking.

You can follow these steps and see if your phone can be unlocked: https://www.unlockunit.com/blog/how-to-check-if-your-phone-is-network-locked/

As your phone was used already, then there is no need to remove the Region lock (probably was removed already if a call longer than 5 minutes was placed on this phone).

You have also to take into account that your phone is from a CDMA network and you plan on using it with O2 Germany, a GSM network. There is a chance that your phone might not recognize the O2 SIM card at all. However, on some other threads, I saw that 2017 Samsung models have both CDMA and GSM capabilities.

Check if your phone is prompting you for something. If not, then you might be able to use it straight away.

I pop in my SIM Card and it does give some warnings, but there is no way i can enter an unlock code =/

Hi,

at the moment my phone is running on 5.9.026S Small EUI by Aurel. I really would like to update to the latest rom, but unfortunately the file transfer between phone and computer via cable doesn't work.

The computer and the phone always show me an error while trying to copy files. Sometimes the computer even freezes while transfer. Does anybody had the same issue? I really would like to save my pictures before doing a clean install.

Thank you in advance!
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, hmm what does device manager look like? Is the Le Max 2 configured as a USB MTP device? Might have the wrong driver setup.

Right click it > update driver > let me choose > (Standard MTP Device) > USB MTP Device > apply.

Otherwise? Please follow this guide to temporarily boot to TWRP where MTP file transfer works fine. Worst case Ontario? You may need to configure MTP driver as mentioned above.

So I got an X727 this past Thursday, and I accidentally set it on a table too hard with the stock case on and, well, the camera lens cracked. It's not across the sensor, but I know it's a matter of time before it spreads and the rear camera becomes unusable.

How difficult is it to replace the rear camera lens? Where can I find a replacement?

Its really annoying for me that earpiece volume is very low as compare to every single phone i had in the past. I had to turn on speaker to hear the caller on other side especially when i am outside . I dont think my headset is faulty is its my second pixel XL phone and had same issue with previous one

Is there any solution for this?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ithehappy:
That's very weird, cause mine is the loudest phone I have ever had in terms of earpiece volume in calls! In fact in winter I reduce a one or two notch from top cause its so loud in a quiet room it sounds like loudspeaker is on at low volume!

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dnts:
I gave my GF my "old" Pixel XL when I moved to the 2 XL. She is an iPhone convert and she complains on low earpiece volume as well. Compared to the Pixel2 XL it's indeed very low and there was nothing I managed to do to increase it. I suspect than the 8 or 8.1 updates are to be blamed somehow. Anyone figured this out?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] heavytkc:
You need to contact Google support via the handset. They do a few bull**** tests and then you demand a replacement or full refund. They email you the necessary to return the handset and the second they receive it they ship the replacement handset. In the UK warranty starts from when you receive the replacement device. I received third handset in 15 months last week so now covered until 2020. It's a known issue to Google and it's a combination of software and hardware issue. This third handset has features that never worked before on the other two handsets. I posted phone Wednesday morning and had replacement Friday afternoon.

My brother gave me a rooted phone, so to unroot it I got a .bat off of a site to flash the stock firmware, but now the wifi doesn't work on it, so I think the firmware I used had the wrong radio firmware. I ended up getting the flashfile off of the motorola dev site and made sure it was the right one. I then got RSD Lite and it's not detecting my phone when I plug it in. I made sure I got adb and fastboot, I installed the motorola usb drivers, I put my phone into Fastboot flash mode, I have my phone in debugging mode, I've tried different USB Cables, different USB ports, I've ran it in administator and I still can't get it to detect my phone. Does anybody know a fix for this, or a different way I could flash my xml file onto my phone?

When I downloaded RSD, there was another link for the drivers. When I downloaded it, it had 5 different files (pic attached). This may or may not be the issue, but I couldn't figure out what to do with these files.

[General Questions and Answers] PlanetVaster:
Hello, my problem started when I woke up about a week ago, my device was off, fully shutdown. I don't turn my device off, only lock it, and it was on my charger. It now experiences graphic glitches, but only in certain apps (making it a software problem). Apps such as chrome (random black boxes and elements don't render in correct positions) (also applies to chrome webview, firefox, and samsung internet), google play store (loading circle turns into a green square and then back into a circle), asphalt 8: airborne (quick, sequential random flickers), amount others. But on things like nova launcher, I have absolutely zero problems). The steps I took to try to remedy the problem were: boot into safe mode, toggle certain developer options such as hardware overlays, and finally factory reset (twice). Nothing worked, but as I said before I am certain it is a software issue. Any help is greatly appreciated. - Andrew

P.S The charger is an anker charger and cable, and I am highly certain that they didn't cause any damage to my device to cause the problem. And I didn't install any software updates to cause this.

Kind of need more info, but just by the way you're posting...i'm guessing you're on android 4.4.2 (kitkat) with a locked bootloader....then you're stuck. No possible way to downgrade without killing the phone. This will never change. That's why majority of development for this phone has stopped 2 maybe 3 years ago because of this.
