Go with unlocked from Google and put your Verizon SIM in the phone. Delete downloaded Verizon apps if wanted.

Honestly, $100 for double the space? I bought 2ea 128gig.

Also, bootloader unlocking, TWRP, root, and Viper4Android are pretty straightforward. When I get back to a computer I'll link previously posted steps.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Rookx:
Thanks for the quick replies. I also misread and thought it was $200 to upgrade to 128gb and now realize it's only $100. Definitely worth it to me.

The process of rooting, unlocking etc. itself I will be able to feel my way through with the threads here, I just wanted to make sure I was correct that I needed to purchase a certain version of the phone to do everything with it that I want to be able to.

Thanks a lot everyone.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] SkiaTheShade:
If I'm not mistaken you will need to be able to unlock your bootloader in order to root the device. So, basically any modifications, including root, can only be done on the Google version of the phone.

I was about to make this same clarification. It addresses an important error in the op.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Corduroy-21:
I believe it's OK. Unless you want to manually store MP3s, where again 64GB seems enough for my needs.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Rookx:
Yep. After advise here and speaking to a few friends who own the pixel 1 I've decided to just go with the 128 from Google store to make sure all my bases are covered. Thanks again for the responses everyone. Just one more example of why this forum is so great.

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

I bought an S8+ from the Netherlands on subscription (I pay monthly for it) from Tele2 since I study there. Obviously, I've been using the phone for a while (hours of calling to other local numbers, etc.), so I should be unlocked, right? Wrong. I put in a foreign SIM card (Egypt) and it asks me for a network unlock code. However, upon contacting Tele2, they said that my phone was unlocked. I don't know how I should unlock my phone. I've tried online services like cellphoneunlocker.net, etc. but they don't seem to work. Can anyone help me with what I need to do or where I can get it unlocked? I'm in Egypt for a month for winter break and my phone is basically a brick.

I want to know if I can get my phone region unlocked to work with my SIM or not. Please help.

Sincerely,

A struggling student
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
I asked a question in your previous thread, and you've answered it here, when you don't pay full up front for the phone, and you have it on a contract / pay monthly, it is NOT unlocked. You'll have to wait till the phone is paid off fully and then it'll be fully unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] UnrevealedM:
That's not the way it works in the Netherlands. The phone is carrier unlocked (i.e. I can use a French, Spanish, German, etc. SIM card in it). It is not region unlocked; it is region locked to Europe. I messaged Samsung and they assured me that I was correct and it was a precaution on their end to try and stop the grey market from prospering. I was informed that it would take 6-8 weeks, but I was wondering if anyone had another faster solution, since in 6 weeks I'll be back in the Netherlands.

So does anyone have a quicker solution?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MrHands0m3:
Region Locked = Call at least 5 mins using the regions sim to unlock.

Network Locked = You need to ask your network provider for this to unlocked. Common on postpaid plans and network provided phones.

If you get your phone from network provider then it is most likely to be region & network Locked. But if you get it from a mall, shops, or other source, then most likely it is only region locked.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] artemgv:
Try putting different sim

Hi mate,

I had the same issue with Samsung S8+ and Tele2 Nederland. So apparently, you cannot region unlock you phone if you call with tele2 nederland. You need to use any other dutch sim to do so.

So ask one of your friends or get a free Lebara sim and call someone for 5+ minutes. After it, the phone will have no region lock.

Feels like Samsung forgot to put Tele2 in their "dutch operartors" list.

When using the flash in Mi A1 which I recently brought. I always get this yellow tint which is very annoying. Specially when i take face shots at night using flash the whole face look yellowish and pale and by saying yellowish I mean at extreme level. Did everyone facing the same Issue.please let me know??:rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] StePaDrums:
Are you using a silicon case? Mine does that when it's in the case. The flash opening is not big enough so light goes through the almost transparent case. Hope this solves your problem.

I recently, like as of last, flashed my s6 edge plus g928T with the V.5 brx s8+ port. It works amazing no problems except one. I am having trouble getting service no internet and calls go through but no audio. I read that flashing the modem(?) will fix. I just dont know were to find the modems for my specific carrrier and phone model. If anybody could provide some insight that would be amazing.

Thanks

Alex
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] Rehvix:
There may be a few causes to your issue. If the rom you installed isn't specified for the T variant, then the kernel may not have the required components for the call audio to work (I had this issue myself with a LOT of roms) In this case there isn't much you can do that I know of except try another rom. If you'd like an s8 port, I got Khongloi's to work on my G928T practically flawlessly. The rom's thread can be found here and if you need clearer instructions on how to install like I did they can be found here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] AFFAFXP:
Usually caused by the boot.img i tried to use a boot.img from your version 4 and it did the same thing, i then stuffed it with the system folder from the latest firmware and it fixed just fine.... I have also noticed some roms have the boot.img in a sub folder instead of the root of the rom and notice if I copy the boot.img from the sub folder to the root of the rom it fixes this issue... and like with SMOKKIE ROM you get the red letter error on first boot that the kernel in nonpermisive I believe and in that case I just used the boot.img from my builds and the system folder of your choosing then check the prop update.script and any other associated file like .config folders etc..

Hello to all

First of all i would like to say sorry if my english aren't so well

but i hope you readers can still get my point.

Here we go.

Straight to the topic, does anyone having this in-call bug while using an AOSP based roms?

Here is my situations,

If i call someone, or someone call me, i can only hear them.

In the contrary, they can't hear me.

It happens for me on Xenon HD 7.1.2 last build, AOSPExtended 7.1.2 last build and Cardinal AOSP 8.0 last build too.

I once have it working while using Xenon HD by flashing some zip and change some line in build.prop from "fluence" to "none" but i get no sound in speakerphone mode.

The reason i wrote this is because i really want to use AOSP based custom roms and i also need both call mode (normal call & speakerphone mode)

I really don:t think that this was a hardware issue since i got it working right on global stable MIUI8 and MIUI9, it works too on XIAOMI.EU latest rom.

For your information, i already try all fixes regarding this sound bug (on my side) i found here in this MIDO thread.

It's too much if i ask for fixes in this stage so i just need someone who are in the same state like me to confirm that they are facing the same problem.

or is it just me?

Thank you guys

FAQ

Q: How to report bugs?

A: If you want to report a bug make sure you include:

-device variant / modem version / bootloader version

-detailed info about the encountered issue

-steps to reproduce the bug

-logs - about how to take logs

Q: What's the difference between these 2 Lite roms?

A: J5 2016 rom has themes support, J2 2018 rom has clipboard. Personally i use clipboard everyday, maybe some of you do same and i don't use themes at all.. For me J2 rom is better. But if someone would rather use themes and ditch clipboard, can use J5 rom. Therefore 2 roms.

Q: Sound quality is low, what to do?

A: Go into Settings>Sound>Sound quality and effects>Advanced, move all the equalizer dots on top to 10db and back to 0db. Equalizer will reset now. You need to do this only once for any playback output (headphones, speaker, bluetooth).

Q: Phone is asking to reboot because sim changed, what should i do?

A: Reboot once and see if it appears again. If yes reboot again.

Q: Phone asks to wipe data because operator changed, should i wipe?

A: Try to cancel and just reboot. If you can't do that or the popup still appear, reflash the rom and wipe from aroma installer.

Q: GPS not finding my location, what to do?

A: Install GPS Test, enable location services from settings, go outside and wait for 20 minutes.

Q: How can i disable/enable navigation bar?

A: Reflash rom without wiping anything.

Q: Where are navigation bar settings?

A: There aren`t any navigation bar settings because the rom is ported from a device without native navigation bar.

Q: Why camera can`t be fully fixed?

A: Unfortunately camera can't be bugless because old device - old camera drivers, so we need to live with a bug, choosable in aroma:

- Video recording bug - Video recording works only in Footej Camera (already included in the rom) but focus is fully working

- Focus bug - Video recording works in any camera app, but focus is half broken (works 1 of 2 times)

Q: Why volte/vowifi will never work?

A: Network is partially working now because we use marshmallow network libs. For fixing these 2 features we need nougat compatible network libs which we don`t have. Hence this, volte/vowifi can't be fixed and will never work.

Q: Why native blur will never work?

A: Native blur requires blur libs from another snapdragon phone with same android version 7.1.1, only two phones now matching these two conditions are C9 pro and Note 8, and the blur libs make the phone bootloop, so will never work.

Q: Why FM Radio will never work?

A: In order to fix sound on speaker i needed to find a device with same speaker amplifier and same android version (7.1.1). After months of research i found it, but it was a tablet without FM radio. Since Samsung uses different output paths for FM, no FM for us too.

J5 2016 rom has themes support, J2 2018 rom has clipboard. Personally i use clipboard everyday, maybe some of you do same and i don't use themes at all.. For me J2 rom is better. But if someone would rather use themes and ditch clipboard, can use J5 rom. Therefore 2 roms.

Hi,

After receives OTA Nougat for my device i feel its very laggy and slow. Then i try to downgrade it to Marshmallow by using Odin.

First i enable the OEM unlock and usb debugging. Then download the latest Marshmallow firmware [latest november] that match my model.

Odin detected it and no problem when flashing. The phone then rebooted.

After the Samsung logo appear, the screen ask for password pattern and has the same wallpaper lock screen that i have for Nougat.

I unlock the password pattern then many popup windows saying bla bla .exe has stop working. Screen suddenly on and off and i cannot access anything.

I then try flashing another Marshmallow firmware [october update] but the problem still same.

Lastly i flashing back the Nougat firmware and its working back as normal but the performance are really bad and very slow.

May i know why i cannot downgrade to Marshmallow? :(

"You will now need to go into Recovery Mode to wipe the cache. Regardless of what the phone is now doing, likely a boot loop. Press and hold VOL UP+HOME+POWER to boot into Recovery Mode. You will have a back screen with a text menu. Navigate with vol keys and select with power button. Choose WIPE/FACTORY RESET. Followed by WIPE CACHE. Then choose the reboot phone option."

This above step i miss. Now i already have my Marshmallow back.
