[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] millerd79:
I loved the phone or I would have giving up after the 2nd one. I really tried to make it work. And I know a 1080p display isn't ideal but it is only temporary until the next flagship phone is released.

This is to the best of my knowledge.

1. Blue tint was horrible

2. Brown lines going across the center of the display

3. Dead pixels

4. Dead pixels

5. Phone kept rebooting

6. Phone kept rebooting

7. The display randomly turns on for 1ms and flashes. Happens several times per min.

I might have these in the wrong order but it's close enough.

#7 was the best phone I had received and was perfect up until a few days ago. When I called Google about it they said it was a know issue and they are working on it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Almost sounds like they kept returning the same phone to you. What a Charlie Foxtrot of epic proportions. Sorry man :(

I'm on my 4th... first one was a bad battery drain even in safe mode, 2nd and 3rd I had bad burn in and now the 4th wont take the January update. Been waiting a week for them to figure out whats wrong. Just says installation problem between steps 1 and 2, I enrolled in the beta to see if that helps and now phone says its up to date in the Dec 5th patch so no idea whats going on with it.

I already received my refund for my trade in months ago. I just want to make sure I was going to receive a full refund for the phone. Google's answer wasn't 100% clear.

You will receive a credit for the actual amount that was charged to your card.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Prattham:
I guess it's just luck

My manufacturers or build or what it is called date is of 14 oct or so and except that blue tint which is evident and it's slow charging about 2h 45min fro 10 to full i had no complaints

2nd day got the swift black theme and gone the blue tint to an extent lol

Still coping up with slow charging as i was spoiled by dash charge

Cheers ?

All the time it goes back to "charging". Isn't there a way to get it to MTP permanently?

When i am on TWRP is MTP enabled?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] akxak:
You need to activate the developer options there you find the option to configure that default behavior.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] tommy92tc:
Don't work
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] akxak:
Here on OOS 5 I just tried it, switched it in dev options from charging to MTP, connected to my PC and it came up with MTP.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] lazostat:
Yes it works for the 1st time. If i try it again, it goes back to charging.. This is very dangerous if i try to install a custom rom which requires format data.. I couldn't transfer files via TWRP. Can someone help?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] akxak:
But this affects only the handling when booted into the OS. Twrp has its own handling... Perhaps you mean to enable USB debugging?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] lazostat:
So you mean that when i enter TWRP, MTP auto-enabled? If yes, this is just fine.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] akxak:
Try it, I could access an OTG USB device from TWRP without problems regardless of that setting. You just have to mount it.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] tommy92tc:
Works only the first time, then at the second attempt you get "recharge"
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] lazostat:
Yes i checked it. On TWRP the MPT is auto-enabled.

[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] DivyanshuJ:
I tried all the oreo ROMs (except Jaguar- well I installed it but didn't find some things according to my taste, so uninstalled it) , you can surely try it.. considering OP's work on jaguar nougat I am sure it will be good.

Anyway, coming back to question. I will say as of now-

1) AEX (most stable and bugless amongst all), only rear camera portrait mode as of now.

2) Validus (first to have both front and rear portrait mode), just 1-2 bugs like dt2w not working, lockscreen cannot be waken up using home button, only using power button, some heating while charging - compared to other ROMs), otherwise quite stable and good performing rom. I would have sticked to it if not for the bugs I mentioned above.

Here you have both's pros and cons.. upto you now.

Try AICP 13.1 based on Android 8.1. It's working fine with GPS, VoLTE as of now! Been using it for a week now! Very smooth experience.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] arch_geek:
It's pointless to discuss about what ROM is the best, as most ROMs cater to different needs.

It's like a person asking what's the best food or what's the best religion. It's a subjective matter.

That being said, if you're just looking for recommendations for ROMs to try out, you'd first want to understand how you want your device to perform, i.e. how your use cases for the device are like.

If you are a heavy gamer, avoid LOS-based ROMs as they tend to cramp the device performance. Look for Vulcan-enabled ROMs if you use emulators like PPSSPP.

If you are a person who focuses on long lasting battery, some of the minimal ROMs like Omni or Validus will help you out.

Are you using the same ROM and baseband, your volte provider also JIO?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] safim8224:
Try to update the baseband . I'm using Baseband 2.0.079 . Even before I updated the baseband Volte was fine with JIO sim.

Try to use this link for the baseband 2.0 and don't worry , the phone vibrates too much while boot.

Update your TWRP to latest version
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Niccolò Paganini:
According to Samsung customer support and some members of this forum, this device does not have a built-in way of blocking Internet access for specific applications!

Many of those apps have permissions like "storage", "phone ID", "contacts", "calendar", "camera", "microphone", etc...

Therefore, when those applications are given Internet access they will be able to send all our data via the Internet...

That's why it would be of crucial importance and vital to have a built-in way of blocking Internet access to those apps.

For example, if an application has access to your data, to your storage or your contacts, it stands to reason that it should not have Internet access...

The only explanation for the lack of such an integrated system of blocking Internet access for specific applications can only be explained by the fact that Samsung and Google intend to have all our data and info sent over the Internet ... probably for specific domains ...

Google, Samsung or any other companies should not have, simultaneously, access to our storage data, contacts, calendar, camera, microphone..., and Internet access to send out all those data and info...

Besides, most apps are proprietary... so nobody knows what info or data the app is really sending out...

(Curiously and as a side note, my son has a Huawei P10 and that device allows the user to block Internet access to specific apps).

Therefore, given that this Samsung device does not have a way to limit specific applications from reaching the Internet, the phone is a spyware device!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
Its google that doesn't want to implement an internet permission, we can block apps from access to storage/location/contacts and whatnot but not the internet, blame google not samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JeffDC:
Well, blame them both. Samsung is knowingly 'accepting' the Google 'flaw' on it's phone. So Samsung is also culpable.

Agreeing to ANY extent with the OP's RIDICULOUS and ABSURD post & a Thread Title that is Entirely Misleading and Uninformed!

While everyone is entitled to their opinion - This Thread & Particularly it's Title are perilously close to warrant being Reported to the Mods!

It's a simple process to Disable Background Data for each and every Application that you decide to disable in Settings - Apps - Permissions - Data - Background /Toggle Off.

I made reference to Smart TV's as they are constantly "listening" in order to provide functionality - Then there's Laptop cameras which could be equally used to "spy" on their users... Are we to disable the functionality offered by Ok Google - Which is also "listening" to provide the functionality that we have come to expect from our technology?

Seriously? You're downloading things from F-Droid and Yalp and you're concerned with what data individual apps are sending? If you don't trust an app to have an internet connection, why on earth are you using it? If you don't trust the company behind an app to use your data appropriately, whey are you using that app? Do you shut off all data so your internet/mobile provider can't sniff out what you're doing? Tin foil is relatively cheap.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
Surely this is "the only reason", surely. I'll assume you have thought through the entire process of creating a mobile phone operating system as complex as Android, and also every detail involved in creating an application ecosystem that scales to millions of user created applications access by billions of people that worldwide probably generates over a trillion dollars in overall economic revenue (including employment by business built around it, advertising money spent, etc). Surely you saw a foolproof way too easily do all of this AND follow seemingly arbitrary privacy rules? You MUST have also COMPLETELY ruled out every other innocent explanation using this model, including showing conclusively that it wouldn't cause ANRs, app crashes, or anything else. Right?

You also have data showing more than just you would revoke this permission right?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] the_toast:
I have to say, I'm always amazed how little people care about the spying that's being done through their phones. Saying "live in a box" or "just don't use the app" is a stupid response. You can still want to be part of society (which nowadays REQUIRES using whatsapp/facebook/google) EVEN THOUGH you're uncomfortable with the privacy implications. Someone acknowledging and being aware of this, and trying to improve upon it (or even simpler, just demanding improvements by the companies you pay a thousand dollar for a new phone) is often ridiculed as if it wouldn't matter, or people accept it as an something that is required for the systems we use. Social networks could work totally fine without being centralized, google maps doesn't actually need to send your location to google to function, and no app that i know of needs to send your usage of the phone to their company to do whatever it promises to do. Yet many apps do. It's not so much about that it is possible, the problem is that it is allowed. It shouldn't be allowed, much of the data collection should simply be outlawed. But, since hardly anyone seems to care, I don't see that coming anytime soon. I've tried to find people interested in this, but not even on reddit /r/privacy/ this seems to be a major concern.

There's a difference between being responsible for the amount of privacy you have and the amount of personal information that has already been made available... long before people were even aware of the amount of personal information that was already gleaned from the Products and Services that you have been using for years. To some extent trying to reign in your personal information is like closing the barn door after the horse is long gone.

The guy who originally posted this Thread is focusing his "panic" on one device and THAT is naive and Grossly Misleading!

Whether it's FB (which I don't use) or signing up for a Loyalty card - Your personal information is everywhere! Using common sense going forward is the only rational approach, but standing on an imaginary mountain top and shouting to the world that one device is "spyware" is ridiculous and deserves to be called out ?

[MENTION=4351374]shaggyskunk[/MENTION] True, the OP is alarmist and uninformed. I was just put off by many of the answers, which basically said "why do you use Internet then". With respect to your post about searching phones - we can easily make this a scare thread (and people would be scared for good reasons). Let me continue:

- apps that want to use your microphone without apparent reason (of course also the ones WITH a good reason to use the mic) can track you through high-pitched sounds you cannot hear, which are emitted e.g. by some retailers to track you through their store.

- You talk about 1 in 13.000 people arriving in the US getting their phone/laptop looked at and potentially copied? How about knowing for 1Bn people (1 in 7 on earth) who they talk with, when they talk with them, and in which location they are whenever their phone has internet. That's Whatsapp.

[MENTION=6201152]MiMtnBiker[/MENTION] Gnn that's exactly my problem, people just accept it and believe it's never going to change. I'm not happy they know what kind of porn I'm looking at, and even less happy that they could sell the information (although I don't live in the US). If it is that way, it CAN be fixed, you CAN prohibit selling this information. Or to collect it at all. It's definitely better to know the big 5 have all my information but won't have all future information about me than to know they can continue like this forever
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] shaggyskunk:
[MENTION=2090413]the_toast[/MENTION]

Many of the answers - including "live in a box" - "stay off the internet" were in direct response to the careless & irresponsible comments by the OP - like = like?

Not only your phone has the potential to gain access to your personal information - But your Laptop camera - Your Smart TV (that is "listening") But this technology is something that most people appreciate and expect their tech to provide them with the functionality that they want - Being aware of the capabilities of your Tech is prudent - being paranoid & frightened by it is just sad.

The issues of Privacy are extensive and if someone decides to pull on that thread - it's going to be never ending.

Common sense & being informed is the most appropriate way to go ??

I'm afraid the only way you are going to change it is to completely get off the grid. Many people are oblivious to the fact that they are willingly giving up their personal information when they have their noses buried in their smartphones pert near all day. What's worse is that the politicians only seem to cater to the wealthy, and since they are salivating at the idea of getting their grubby hands on your info, this will continue. Unless there is a huge uprising and people assemble in protest of this, it will not stop. Heck, I don't even think it will stop, then. Nope, money is the reason as to why this won't change and, unfortunately, you have no say in the matter. Unless, that is, you do get completely off the grid.

Hi

I have a Vodafone branded Kaiser (unlocked), which I was initially using on BT Mobile and I always got a 3g or H symbol. But I've recently switched to Orange Uk and although I've been asured by Orange I have a 3G sim and I get fast data rates, I only ever see the G (GPRS) or E (Edge) symbols on my phone. Why is this so? Does anyone on Orange get the 3G symbol??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] martuk:
Maybe you just dont get Orange 3G signal where you are. I know unless I leave the area I live in I dont get 3G anywhere, and its not some out of the way little village either
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] unwired4:
Orange's 3g network coverage is quite good. So you should see a 3g symbol (unless you have switched your device to GSM instead of AUTO in the phone settings).

Their H coverage is getting better but is still only the major cities (and most of the M25).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tsadek:
Where do you live?

I'm in birmingham and only get it intermittently (H) although I'm usually always 3'd up when I remember to switch out of GSM (better for battery!).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jambell:
Thanks for the replies. To clarify...

I live in Bristol (where Orange is based) and I get good 3G / H speeds (checked at http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1). I get speeds of around 1.7 to 2Mbps which is actually faster than my home hardwired broadband!!! But I never see the 3G or H symbol on the phone. I used to see these all the time on other networks (BT Mobile which subs to Vodafone 3G n/w), but never on Orange. I never changed any software on the phone when I switched and I presume because of the good speed I get that the setup is correct.

Can I just confirm that other Orange users actualy see the 3G symbol on their Kaisers?

Cheers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] unwired4:
My Kaiser with the orange rom showed 3g (and H when active).

It still does with dutty's wm6.1 rom too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tsadek:
Yep, can definitely confirm that I have seen, G, E, 3G, H on my kaiser both with the stock rom and with qmobile 1.2

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] martinreay:
I also have a Vodafone UK branded Kaiser (v1615) and use it with an Orange 3G SIM. Generally I do see the 3G symbol, unless I'm in a poor reception area where it drops back to G or E. I have seen H but only I think within the M25. I'm based near Glasgow.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] chookz:
Does your phone say orange3G as the network if it says only orange it means that you are using a normal SIM...ask them for a new one

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] unwired4:
Mine just says Orange - but I do have 3g/H and it says so.

If you run a speedtest and get over 130, then you are on 3G and over 500k then you are on H.
