[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] DatGuy_Shawnaaaay:
So I had this problem. I tried all the solutions I could from the Google Forums and the Google Pixel 2 help support themselves. I discovered that the 8.1 update broke the proximity sensor. So I just received my replacement. Some people "claim" that taking off the screen protector works, but I was skeptical because the phone worked with the screen protector on when I was running 8.0 :rolleyes: (Moreover, as I transferred the SAME screen protector onto my replacement running 8.1, the replacement works to perfection. I also played around with my previous Pixel 2 XL after resetting the phone and the proximity still does not work, even without the screen protector). You can go to the Google forum (under the calls link, because my assumption is that calling on any app on your phone just leaves you with a black screen) and test out all possible solutions. If none work, just call Google and explain the problem and ask for a replacement :good:. Hope this helps, man.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] JosephECorson:
ya
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] JosephECorson:
Thanks, man! I know the issue is not the screen protector even though they claim so.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Donga lan:
Okay, this is what you need to do. Buy airduster and nicely blow air over the top speaker. Not sure this phone is dust proof. There seems a small gap between the lower edge of the speaker grill and phone screen. You can test by yourself, take a paper the edge of paper goes for a mm or so. Use air duster few times and your proximity sensor works. I think it's not software problems, seems this pixel 2 xl has serious quality control. Google needs to recall this phone!!
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Rukbat:
Sounds logical, because I can turn my screen on and off by bringing a metallic pen near the sensor and away from it, so if you get metal particles in that little "slot" by the speaker, they'd probably affect the sensor. (Especially if they were magnetized - and a lot of seemingly "where id it come from" dust is actually from construction projects. [We used to rent two way radios to construction companies, and they came in about once a week with "dead" speakers - it was tiny steel particles loading the speaker up to the point that the cone couldn't move - and they traced a sample back to a particular steel beam - that the phone had been near when some rivet holes were drilled in it.]) So keep the phones away from cities that have hi-rise construction projects in progress. (This phone is designed for use on a different planet - using a USB 3.0 port and a USB 3.0 cable to flash a ROM bricks the phone. I'm surprised that it's not allergic to air too.)
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Donga lan:
I can make the sensor revert back to far from near by pressing gently the top bezel next to lateral edge of the speaker grill on left side. Sensor reverts back to far from near. Don't know the mechanism and definately doesn't look like software issue. :confused::confused:

ill be up @ 6am if anyone can help

took 3 tries but dueces bootlooop recovery finally worked
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] http://:
When I last had this it was just a case of booting into recovery and performing a full reset. To get rid of the "corrupt" warning, when you are fully stock and all is working, just re lock the bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ne0ns4l4m4nder:
DO NOT RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER!!! there is an all in one tool on the development section below for issues just like this try it out, never lock your bootloader if your phone is having issues it might brick. Also on Windows 10, IV found that running the flash-all.bat as admin causes issues try running it normally no admin rights and you should be good. If not try the tool I mentioned above good luck

I said "when you are fully stock and all is working". Then indeed you can re lock it :rolleyes:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Logan0829:
Alright this may be kind of a dumb question and I apologise if it's not in the correct spot/has already been answered but I currently have a oneplus 5t and I want to move to the s9 when it comes out. I am a huge themer and I love to root/unlock bootloader/install custom roms. Based on what I read it seems that exynos version of Galaxy phones are a lot easier to tinker with compared to snapdragon. Id assume if the s8 exynos works in the US so will the s9. Can anyone confirm this or let me know? I have at&t. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] RossTeagan:
Yes, it should work. I don't think I heard anyone mention the opposite. So it should work without any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] tomiga:
I have an Exynos Galaxy S8 Duos (SM-G950FD) and I use it with T-Mobile here in Arizona. I haven't had any problems with carrier compatibility, 4G/4G+ works like a charm.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Logan0829:
Thanks guys!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] shiftr182:
I went from 6P, to Pixel XL, to SM-G955F(S8+) on T-Mobile here in Idaho. The signal is great, and I dont have any problems. The S8 is much easier to flash stuff on and modify than the Pixel was, and its working fine here in Idaho. I made the move to Samsung in September.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Logan0829:
Is yours the international version? Or does it have exynos processor? Sorry I don't know the model numbers. Is exynos generally easier to root and unlock bootloader for compared to snapdragon?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] shiftr182:
Mine is international, purchased from Clove in the UK. Exynos is best if you want to do any modding on your phone. Root, flashing, etc. are all very simple with Exynos. To my knowledge the Snapdragon variants cannot be bootloader unlocked, so very limited on what you can do.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Logan0829:
Awesome! Thank you! Is clove an online store or were you actually in the uk when you got it haha.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] shiftr182:
You can buy from Clove online. https://www.clove.co.uk/
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Logan0829:
Thanks!! :) Do they mark up the price of the phone when it launches? And is shipping crazy expensive? I'm only a teenager so money isn't really something I have a lot of lmao.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] shiftr182:
Shipping is about $20. Not sure on the markup.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Logan0829:
Alright. Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Booyaah82:
I assume you have to buy a separate charger then as their plugs are different over there? I assume the pins on the micro USB are still the same?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Logan0829:
It uses usb C which I've got a couple cables already. So yeah you could probably buy an adapter or buy a charger if you didn't already have one.

Warning: when you buy a Samsung phone from europe it comes with regional lock,, You can find several pages with imei based unlocking
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Logan0829:
Yikes. And do I have to pay for a region unlock or??? Idk how that all works.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sremick:
I think the only thing lacking on the Exynos S8 is Band 30 which probably doesn't really matter for most people, as it's so new and of limited deployment/use.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] lwid:
There is no wifi calling with the Exynos S8 on T-Mobile...not sure about AT&T. Also, the US version of Samsung Pay doesn't work on the phone (at least I haven't gotten it to), so you will miss out on the samsung pay rewards.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sremick:
I use Hangouts to call w/ my Google Voice #. Works fine anywhere there's wifi, so I'm not at the whim of the "wifi calling" mafia.

Don't care about Samsung Pay, Google Pay, Apple Pay, or any of those other things. Those gimmicks hardly work anywhere I've seen. I have a wallet and credit cards that work everywhere just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] lwid:
I don't find it to be a gimmick at all. The CC #'s are virtual and thus more secure against merchant database breaches. Samsung Pay rewards also gives you points you can redeem towards prepaid Visa cards..if you're not using it, you're just throwing money away....

Another thing is that Samsung Pay has technology that emulates a magnetic swipe, so it works in a lot of readers that don't support Apple/Android pay's NFC based payment.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sremick:
It's called the "Urban Reality Distortion Bubble". You might live in a city of over 1M people, but many of us don't even have that many in our entire state. Technology realities change dramatically once you leave the convenience of the city oasis and go out into the real world. Samsung Pay et all are gimmicks for all the rest of the country, along with the lie of ubiquitous cellular coverage, fast internet and the idea that car ownership will be gone by 2025 and everyone will use self-driving cars. I don't care what cool tech and whizbang features it might have... if it's not available to use and/or doesn't work reliably, it doesn't matter.

And I'll argue about it being "more secure":

http://www.zdnet.com/article/flaw-in-samsung-pay-lets-hackers-wirelessly-skim-credit-cards/

There is no shortage of people complaining about lack of success with this, especially at things like gas pumps. An unreliable hack is not what something I'm going to base my daily purchasing on. Meanwhile, I can reap tangible benefits of a rootable Exynos phone on a daily basis.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] rpsgrayfox:
Technology implementation is a gradual process, specially so in places with smaller population density where there are fewer economic incentives to implement it, add to that the fact that people naturally resist change and it's a way to understand why it is that way.

If you skim a credit card you can use it right away, this would requiere you to build a custom transmitter after decoding the tokens you somehow obtained to be able to use the stolen information and it would only work on other contactess payment devices. So it still is far more secure than just swiping your credit card.

MST works on any credit card reader where you are able to swipe your card. And I'd assume there are plenty even if you don't live in a city, it won't work in gas pumps as those mostly have the reader where you insert the card.

[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Also , as with any soak test, be aware that Motorola may release several builds to soak testers. Thus, missing one of those builds may mean you're ineligible to update via OTA unless you get hold of that missing patch or wait for the full fastboot Oreo stock ROM. Motorola will likely only assist if you're formally enrolled in the Feedback testing program and actually selected for the test.

Furthermore, I don't know if this build of Oreo has rollback protection, but it could be very risky to downgrade back to stock Nougat if you decide to flash this soak test (since it'll likely updated your bootloader). Taking an OTA might hard brick your device after the downgrade. If you've updated to Oreo too, the blankflash here https://xdaforums.com/moto-z-play/how-to/guide-unbrick-moto-z-play-t3618492 may fail to rescue your device unless we can get a Oreo blankflash leaked.

Of course, could always wait for the actual Oreo OTA update... Have fun, but be careful.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeljko1234:
Good point echo92 and that's why I've polite refused when someone asked​ to leak test build.

Btw, don't expect much from Oreo.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] tag68:
I'm awaiting Oreo since a long time, hoping for 2 big changes, both in filesystem:

1. Fix F2FS in kernel regarding loopback device, so that Magisk runs without hassle

2. Set timestamp is now always possible (because SDCardFS instead of FUSE), so that copy and move work fine without root

Part 2 was already confirmed by some Oreo user. It would be difficult for Motorola to do something so that this does not work.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeljko1234:
I've asked already, how to check f2fs on stock/locked bl device?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Artim_96:
Unless Motorola releases the source code I don't think it's possible. You just know there is a bug when you see that it won't mount an image as loopback device
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] TeamMex:
good clickbait xD
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] TigerCourage:
I think Motorola is already using F2FS for this device. That's why it's running so well.

I swear I saw this somewhere.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Artim_96:
Of course they do since the beginning for /data. But I think the question was because of the bugs in their f2fs implementation. The worst bug is already fixed but was replaced by another bug. Both make it hard to use Magisk
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeljko1234:
To correct my statement a bit. Oreo works pretty well, subjectively faster/smoother than Nougat, battery life is better or the same as before. I really like new audio codecs, sound is (again personally) much better :)
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] W3ND31:
This is the feature that i'm more 'hyped'
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeljko1234:

[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] yaatzek:
[MENTION=2559459]Zeljko1234[/MENTION] is Bluetooth battery status for connected device working?

I think what he meant is that Moto Voice used to be an "offline" system by Motorola, I mean, you could use it to several tasks even without internet. However, when Moto Z was launched, the voice command triggers Google Now/Assistant.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Ravi Venugopal:

[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] yaatzek:
I would rather prefer the long way, on the time I was on Nexus ship updates were coming first but we had to struggle with some bugs. So if you want fast updates stick to the pixels or Android one, with Motorola we get them quickly but little more polished I guess.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] KrisM22:
given how many problems google is presently having with Oreo on it's(google's) own pixel and nexi hardware (google for "oreo problems"), I encourage a great deal of patience - devs here need something decent to work with - something much better than they have now... The forums across devices for 8.x ROMs are littered with problems - camera, BT, etc, etc.
