Android OS is an "Open System". Unlike other OS, if we don't like any system apps then we can download and install any of other apps that we like.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Zargone:
Just frustrated and letting off a little steam. I have always used Verizon Samsung Sx products in the past and looked over the shoulder of iPhone users. Trying to get Essential to that level of functionality and perhaps gimmickry (text and enhanced voicemail apps) have me pulling my hair out as I fail every time.

If you want an iPhone, buy an iPhone. Of course the price of this phone on promo is probably the finance charge of one of the latest Apple devices.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Zargone:
I have never owned an iPhone and I never will. I just admire their software polish. I despise their total control concept. That is why I have an Essential phone...

"Google Calendar app - cannot copy and paste an event."

This would be good. It does have some good repeat options though, including custom. I have used this to good effect with my 3 on/3 off work schedule, which I couldn't find in other apps. I have requested the copy/paste through the app, you should too.

Another thing, log into your Google account on a computer, your calendar is a little different and has some other options, including duplicate events.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] TractorMatty:
No, I'm not trying to sell washing powder, just trying to understand an issue I've had now with two Pixel 2 devices, and one that I posted about on the colour saturation and accuracy thread on the Real Life Review boards previously.

My first Pixel 2 arrived in December and I was immediately underwhelmed with the colour balance on the display - regardless of configuration options. Whites were very yellow - not as bad as when the Night Light was on, but far from white. So I returned the device, and a new one arrived a few days later. My second Pixel 2 is undoubtedly much better than the first. Not only was the colour balance better, it was also noticeably sharper when compared side by side. However, it still has a definite yellow tint in the whites, and some images seem to show this more than others - for example, flesh tones in the otherwise superb photos (when viewed on the device) look odd.

It's most noticeable for me when I have a nearby monitor or screen to compare. Individually the phone does not look so bad, but the whites on my monitor, laptop, tablet and even old phones are significantly whiter. (I'm not helped by the fact that I work in front of a screen all day - so I'm rarely able to avoid the comparison.)

Hence the question - both my devices have had a distinct yellow tint in the whites. How about yours?

I'd really like to keep the phone - because pretty much everything else about it is great. However, it's not a cheap phone, and because of that I'm not sure I should be making such a compromise on the display. :confused:

Any feedback appreciated.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] CarpCharacin:
I went to Best Buy and looked at the Pixel 2 they had there, and it had a similar yellow tint to the one I had that I RMA'd, but I don't think the tint was as bad on the one at Best Buy as it was on the one I had.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Large Hadron:
To get a comparison I just loaded the Play Store app (white background) and compared to a sheet of laser printer paper I had on my desk (under fluorescent lighting in my office). I'd have say my whites were a bit colder (i.e. less yellow) than the paper appeared under these lighting conditions.

I tried changing colour mode, but that didn't seem to have a dramatic effect on the white point, though "saturated" looked a little different - I'm not sure whether I'd describe it as "warmer" (more yellow/less blue) or just having slightly more green, but there was a very small change in colour temperature in that mode. I use "natural" myself anyway.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] TractorMatty:
Thanks for the feedback.... I'm using natural mode too - boosted, or saturated just make the whites more yellow for me. It's subtle - but noticeable.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] crewster:
I've also noticed yellowish whites comparing it to other screens. Even my old N6P had better whites. I don't know if it's a generalized issue we should worry about, or just stick with it.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] PuffDaddy_d:
It's just how these screens were tuned. They are much warmer than LCD screens and look yellow when u compare to basically any other display. It's a feature, not a bug. Stop comparing and you won't notice it ?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] TractorMatty:
You're right of course, I need to stop comparing... I just got a bit paranoid after my original RMA'd device's screen was so poor. I think I'm going to stick with it. :)

Hi everyone, does someone know if there is any possibility to link media Bluetooth volume and system the same as stock Rom? Thanks for your answers
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] SweetSofie:
Hey everyone!

I'm a long time reader, but never had the occasion to post until now. I have somewhat recently started tinkering with my phones. I'm a programmer by trade so I'm not at all seperated from technology, however, I fear I may have gotten myself into a but of a ?.

So, here's what I broke: I have a Verizon Wireless Pixel 2. A few weeks ago I read that there was a boot loader unlock for it. As such, I rebooted to the boot loader, ran the "fastboot flashing lock_critical" command. After being unlocked I then proceeded to flash TWRP and then Magisk Manager. All was well until my phone had an unrelated warranty issue. As such, I filed a claim, and got my new phone.

Today I was trying to recover my phone to factory and am getting a few errors. I downloaded this Image from Google "8.0.0 (OPD3.170816.023, Nov 2017, Verizon) - https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/walleye-opd3.170816.023-factory-f269631e.zip"). I extracted it, and ran "flash_all.bat". Througout the process I get an error stating that it can't find a recovery.img. I looked in the .zip and found that to be true. I downloaded the standard stock .zip and noticed it doesn't have one either. In addition, when it gets to the part about flashing the system image I get the following error:

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

archive does not contain 'boot.sig'

archive does not contain 'recovery.img'

Anyone have any idea how to remedy this? I'm simply trying to get it back to stock. In addition, if I can get it returned to stock is relocking the bootloader even possible?

Thanks in advance for any help!

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] iridium7777:
is your phone currently on 8.0.0 or have you been updated to at least 8.1?

you can't flash to a lower version than what you already have. i have verizon and i plan on flashing back to stock and you should be flashing to the 013 version from January.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] SweetSofie:
It was on 8.1. Makes sense, I'll download the latest and try that. I just chose that because it says "VZW" in the name.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] SweetSofie:
Well, that didn't help at all. :crying:
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] iridium7777:
try everything over and start clean:

1) delete all your stuff from your comp (all previous tools and images)

2) download the fresh set of latest adb tools from google

3) download the latest walleye stock image from google

4) put all those things in the same directory and uncompress them there (so flash-all.bat is in the same folder as adb, along with the img and zip files for walleye).

5) adb reboot bootloader

6) flash-all

are those similar to the steps that you did before?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] robocuff:
Just so you know, those "archive does not contain" errors are normal. I get them all the time. Always did on the original Pixel too. I'm not sure about the one at the end. Can't say I've ever seen that on either the Pixel 1 or 2.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Duhman72:
Were you able to sort out your issue?

If not, I have heard good things about using this tool to install the latest factory image. Just download this script and follow the instructions in that thread.

If that goes well, then you should be able to boot to the latest build and ready to lock the bootloader, which will factory reset the phone as part of the process.

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flashing lock

If that process makes you feel uncomfortable, I found this post from another thread doing a similar method (but not using the script above)

Good Luck!
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] SweetSofie:
Thanks for the re-assurance. I did notice that the zips literally dont contain a recovery.img. Is that normal for the Pixel 2?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] JRJ442:
Yes. The recovery is in the boot.img now.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] SweetSofie:
I tried this tool and had no luck either. I ultimately just locked the bootloder, as-is, and sent it back. ? Hopefully the think it's just a component level failure since the boot loader is locked. I guess we will see... ?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
They won't even check, they don't care. They will inspect it for physical abuse and water damage. That is all.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] SweetSofie:
I think you're right! So far so good. I haven't had any backlash from Verizon so far. Thanks! :D
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] dimComQ:
Greetings,

Recently I was trying to unlock all bands on my Xperia XZ Premium following this guide: https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/thread-progress-please-leave-im-updating-t2871269

and even though I succeeded, one of the original files on the phone was lost. The file was the /nv/item_files/modem/lte/rrc/cap/disable_cap_ies.

I would be grateful if someone could send me the original file as I needed to restore the initial settings of the phone.

Build number: 45.0.A.5.1.

Thank you in advance :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Castiglionais:
Have you restored the file? i'm on 47.1.A.8.49
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] dimComQ:
No unfortunately I am still unable to recover it. I would appreciate any help :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Castiglionais:
I'll give it to you in an hour or two, when I go back home

---------- Post added at 14:08 ---------- Previous post was at 13:10 ----------

I can't find the file on my device, you can give me the full path from the root folder ?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] dimComQ:
The full path is /nv/item_files/modem/lte/rrc/cap/disable_cap_ies , but in order for you to access this, you need to connect through the EFS explorer in the QPST tool.

If you google "Enable Qualcomm SIM Access", in the first link, in Step 2 the process is described. Sorry but xda prevents me from posting outside links .

Thanks

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] l36320:
I am experiencing some serious issues with wifi

Signal drops and connection fails while other gadgets in the same range of the router have stable wifi connection

I never had a such a problem with my previous Xiaomi phone

This one seems has got some serious connectivity problems

I even did a reset after oreo update but it's still the same

To have a stable wifi connection I have to keep so close(like in the same room or next room) to router which is definitely not a solution

I really regret buying this phone :(

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] OldGoat:
I have the same issue with a dual band (2.4 and 5GHz) modem both using same SSID. Seems as my A1 locked onto the 5GHz frequency and then when I move away refuses to change to 2.4GHz. "Switching off" the 5GHz solved the problem.

Am still looking for other solutions.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Edwin Hamal:
I thought the issue was just on my handset but seems it was not. I've been facing this issue since god knows how long. Thanks for the confirmation.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] AlexAiS:
I had the same problem (Wi-Fi connected, No internet) on Mi A1 and checked almost everything. I tried different firmwares, I've even erased EFS and rewrote QCN calibrations, but no luck. But once I've downgraded this phone to Android 7 (fw ver 7.8.23), my bootloader was already unlocked (you can do it by simple command (fastboot oem unlock) in cmdline). I took persist partition (persist.img) from folder with unpacked 7.8.23 firmware and flashed it manually via edl ("fastboot oem edl" command for reboot to edl mode, and then flash persist.img separately) and IT HELPS!! Wifi now connects ok. Maybe problem appears because of persist partition isn't included in firmware configuration file by default. I've checked this method on 7.8.23, then updated via ota to 8.1.10 firmware, and after to 9.5.4.0, works like a charm!

I've created files for miflash for WiFi fixind almost on all firmwares. It is in attachment below. It will not erase your data. It must be flashed only in EDL mode, because fastboot mode doesn't allow to flash persist
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] berezker:
Does this work on March 2018 patch?

And do I need to do this after every ota or is just one time?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Edwin Hamal:
Thanks!

Thanks for this and I have a question: Can I flash this if I'm on Oreo or should I downgrade to Nougat like you did?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] AlexAiS:
Didn't test on march 2018 but should work

just one time, if you have described problem

Downgrade isn't mandatory. Can be flashed from any fw without data lost. The easiest way is on unlocked bootloader, because it allows reboot to EDL (do "fastboot oem unlock" for it, then "fastboot oem edl". Then flash patch via latest MiFlash and turn on phone manually by holding Power for 10 seconds. If you need bootloader locked, perform "fastboot oem lock" after all operations)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] berezker:
Does this fix the issue where the phone sometimes can't detect 5 ghz connections?

A restart can temporarily fix it for at least 1 hour but all 5 ghz disappear again
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] resident0915:
Thank you so much for this! For some reason with the stock ROMs I was having no Wi-Fi issues on either band. But on RR and Pixel Experience ROMs, the 5GHz connection would work for less than 30 seconds before dying and I was going crazy trying to figure it out! How can anyone use 72Mbps 802.11n when 433Mbps 802.11ac is just sitting there :p

Can u describe the correct procedure for flash the patch?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] SmallTarzan:
[MENTION=4668930]l36320[/MENTION]

May you, please, correct your profile signature?

Mi A1 isn't a bad phone at all, it really depends on the phone's owner.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] AlexAiS:
It should help I guess

procedure is usual for almost all Qualcomm-based Xiaomi. I'll describe it in short. But if you have zero experience in flashing phones, try to search any extended manual for qualcomm flashing.

1. Power Off your phone

2. Hold Volume- and Power together until you see rabbit, then release both buttons

3. Connect phone to PC, install fastboot drivers

also unzip this archive to C:\

4. Run cmd.exe as Administrator, change active directory to C:\Tools (in cmdline type "cd C:\Tools" without quotes)

5. execute command "fastboot oem unlock" (without quotes, sure)

6. fastboot oem edl

7. now you're in EDL mode, install drivers from the same folder if necessary

8. Open XiaoMiFlash, select folder with unpacked Wifi Patch

9. Press Refresh, and after port appearing, press Flash

10. When you see green Success, disconnect phone and power it on by holding Power for 10 seconds

11. That's all. If you need locked bootloader, boot phone to fastboot mode again (as in 1st step), and perform "fastboot oem lock" and then "fastboot reboot" in cmdline

There does appear to be a problem with OPM3 (Jan 2018). The first Oreo 8.1 (OPM1, Dec 2017) was much snappier.

One fix some have tried with OPM3 is to factory reset and reinstall. Personally, it's made things a little faster, but not (subjectively) as fast as OPM1.

If you're going you go through the effort of a factory reset you can always flash the Dec factory image if you feel that runs faster on your device.
