[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ilanzo82:
Slingplayer, Xfinity, MX player etc...aside from Google Play movies, I have not found a video app that uses the full 6" screen. Slingplayer and Xfinity leave what looks to me to be over 1/4" of the screen on the right side blacked out. Is this universal or an issue with my phone? Is there a setting somewhere I haven't found to force full screen for video?

I am completely stock 8.1 at the moment...I don't think I should have to do something via adb like forcing immersive mode for something like being able to use my whole screen to watch video???

thanks for any and all input
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Ericarthurc:
I think this has to do with the apps themselves being updated to support the aspect ratio. As of now some apps support it and others dont, in time they will update.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] btonetbone:
It's likely because our screen is 1440 pixels x 2880 pixels (an 18:9 ratio). Most video conform to the regular 16:9 ratio. Because our screen is slightly wider than traditional, there are basically three options:

- Leave empty space as unused on the left/right side of the screen, which is default for most video apps that would otherwise be full screen. The video remains properly proportioned.

- Stretch the video to fill the screen. This would cause slight distortion on the video.

- Zoom the video to fill the screen. This causes you to lose a tiny bit on the top/bottom of the image, and might result in a tiny tiny bit of loss-of-clarity. But the video remains properly proportioned and unskewed. You can zoom in on YouTube videos with a pinch gesture to see this in action.

I'm sure that some more apps will likely adapt similarly to YouTube, but it may take some time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jhom52:
Whitestone has recently instituted a Limited Lifetime Warranty for their products. They indicate that the warranty is applicable for "Wear and damage to the product." They will replace or exchange with a product of equal value. In order to use the warranty you have to register the product on Whitestonedome.com. They will send a replacement. But, you have to pay for a shipping/handling charge as well as return the damaged product back to them.

I successfully installed the Dome on my Note 8 in early September and have been happily using it without problems since then. It was a bubble-free install. I've been using a Spigen Neo Hybrid case. I haven't dropped the phone or abuse it. This last weekend, I noticed a row of bubbles along the edge of the Dome near the power button of the Note 8. I typically turn off the Note 8 once a week for a refresh bootup. So, I contacted Whitestone and they informed me of the new warranty. I registered my Dome. Requesting a replacement is easy. However, the cost for shipping the replacement is $15.38. They don't pay for shipping costs for the return of the damaged Dome. Apparently, they won't be shipping the replacement until they receive the returned Dome. A credit card payment is needed immediately when you request a replacement.

I'm not sure why they need the damaged Dome returned if I registered since they ask for the original order number as confirmation of ownership. I assume when I remove the Dome from the phone, it may crack/break. If I mail the damaged Dome to them, it will probably get damaged further unless I carefully package it for shipment. This is unnecessary and doesn't seem to be a customer friendly process. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] klodjan91:
Zagg does the same thing. You register first time you buy it and every time you break your screen protector you go claim a warranty replacement and just pay shipping. The reason they ask for it back is because i think they wanna make sure that you are using their own TGSP instead of some cheap one and claiming it as theirs.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] B4oE:
Ever since I updated my rooted OnePlus 3T to the latest Oreo Beta 19 update, my battery life has taken a huge hit! I no longer get about 6 hours of SOT. Therefore, I decided to flash Franco Kernel. However, the battery life continues to have the same short life span that I had running the stock kernel. Until OnePlus addresses this issue, I am asking everyone to please help me, along with the rest of the forum community who is having this issue, to please find a kernel that can contribute greatly with extending my battery life. If at all possible, please post a screenshot of your battery life, along with the custom kernel currently on your OnePlus 3T. (Note: Before you ask me, I simply would like to say that I DO NOT have any social media apps installed on my phone, which we all know contributes greatly to battery loss since they like to run in the background.)

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] thes3usa:
Battery life will vary from device to device, depending on the usage of the phone, the efficiency of the ROM on handling Wakelocks and more.

Most custom Kernels are all the same when it comes to battery efficiency and hardware interaction/communication.

I really don't think OnePlus should address any issue as it looks like the issue only persists on your device. I've read many posts about how good the life is on the recent Open Beta's based on Oreo, on the Stock Kernel.

If you don't have any Social Media apps, you must be having other User apps. You can check your Wakelocks and see how your device is woken and how CPU usage is taken up. Kernels won't do you any good if you have unnecessary Wakelocks.

Please try a clean flash without any restoration of data. If that does not fix your issue, I'd say you have a bad battery.

Cheers!

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hbkid:
I've recently upgraded to an XZ1 Compact, and intend to keep my Z5 Compact as a spare phone. In order to do this I need it to be Network Unlocked as I've switched from EE to O2 (UK).

EE supplied me with an unlocking code which didn't work, as it turns out the Network Unlock Code Counter is at zero (despite me never having attempted to unlock the phone before).

Sony are insisting that the only way for this counter to be reset in order to allow me to enter an unlocking code is if I send the phone to them for an engineer to do it. I can't believe in 2017 that this is the case, and there isn't some way of doing so remotely or even myself.

Does anyone know if this is the case or have any idea how to avoid having to send my phone to Sony?

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Kontsnor:
Hi XDA,

After being a long time reader, it's time to ask you guys for some advice. My S7E still works great after 1.5 year of quite intensive usage. So far so good.

However, over the past couple of days, I've started to notice that my phone wasn't charged at all after putting it on the charger for 1-2 hours. The first 2 times I just thought that the cable just wasn't in properly, because after I reconnected the cable, it did charge. A few days later it just stopped charging at all. After testing it on a wireless charger of a coworker quickly, I knew the battery itself was fine. I tried a couple of cables, both new and old, but it wouldn't charge. Because I also used new cables, the cable wasn't the problem either.

So then, as a last resort, I tried to push the actual connection part (having the pins on it) within the port on the phone a bit inward. This so the pins in the port would better connect to the pins. And Boom! It started charging. So then I knew where my problem was. But now every time when it stops charging again, I have to do this over and over. This puts stress on the connector, and after repeating this process enough times, it will eventually break.

So here's my problem.. Because of how contracts are setup here, I can't open my phone up myself to simply replace the USB port (namely materials, but also certain skills). Also the repair service that is suppose to do the replacement, basically just sucks. They gave me a phone with a bend LCD back last time. I've fixed it myself afterwards back then. I don't want to send it there, except for screen repair.

So I'm looking for a way to either fix this connector permanently without opening my phone, or a specific type of cable focussed on bad connectors, or whatever might help me in this sitation.

Thanks for all your advices!

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Kontsnor:
Well, let me clarify a bit... I know there are workarounds for the issue I'm describing. I could setup SMB and transfer files through that. The heck - I could write my own app, using my own "protocol". Charging can be fixed through wireless charging, thetering can be fixed using the hotspot, adb can also be done wirelessly, and terminal access I could get through an app. I could continue for a while here.

I actually want to fix this specific problem under the given circumstances. Not just dozens of workarounds for specific tasks. Let's say I **** up flashing, and need Odin to restore my device.
