[Honor 8 Pro  Questions & Answers] The Neo:
List of Oreo Bugs! Feel free to add...

1. Camera (Document Editor Mode): After scanning a document using camera, it CANNOT be edited in the Gallery. In Gallery, there is an option on top (document like icon). Clicking it should show adjustable boundries for documents. But such adjustable boundries cannot be seen (It did work perfectly in Nougat).

2. Camera (3D Creator Mode): Camera app crashes when this mode is selected. You can 'Clear app data' to enter back into Camera app without crashing or Long press to open Camera in a different mode.

3. Dark Theme UI Broken: When you enable a Dark Black background theme (like 'Spectacular Dark' available here on xda), the 'Draw over' kind of window shows no fonts i.e. any small window that appears over the app shows just a white background (again, this exact theme worked perfectly in Nougat)

4. Brightness app not working: You can try this with any 3rd party brighness app from Play Store. Try setting any brighness level using the downloaded app (say 35% for example). Then turn off the screen and turn on again, you will observe that brighness level has gone back to previous level. Any brighness change using any downloaded app is lost as soon as you turn off screen. Only your latest brighness using slider from Notification menu will be saved (As someone who likes to set his own brighness in percentage, I find this stressful).

5. Battery Drain: If you turn on 'Wi-Fi+' (Enhanced Internet Experience) in WiFi settings and enable 'Agressive Wi-Fi to Mobile Handover' in Developer Options, then Battery will deplete rapidly. Enabling these options reduced my Screen-on-time to 4:30 hours, disabling these - my SOT is 6:30 hrs. In Nougat, it used to be 7:00 hrs.

6. Camera Bokeh: Wide Aperture mode is not selecting background from foreground as effectively as it did on Nougat. Portrait mode has added a Blur feature which shows blurring effect in Viewfinder but not in actual photo when opened in Gallery.

Please let me know if you are facing any of these issues or any different issues and if you know of any solution. When I bought 8 Pro in Oct-2017, it had the best value under Rs. 40,000 (approx $600). Now it is sh*t!

Has Android Auto been patched as promised with the February Security Patch? Has anyone received the OTA?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
I guess, they'll release the feb patch on next Mon/Tue.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] dobbs3x:
The Feb update is out?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Colday96:
I don't think so....
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikeprius:
not yet. Android auto has been very buggy for me. Random disconnect, several times i have to reboot the phone to get it to recognize the phone. Lately I noticed on the maps if I just keep it up while driving it starts looking weird and distorted so I have to back out of it then back in.

Android Auto has been a mess for a year. When I first used it back in early 2017 on 7.1.1. it was working perfect. Then a few issues with 7.1.2. Now 8.0 and 8.1 its not reliable.

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

what do you like more, your pixel 2 or One plus 5T?

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

Not yet. Android auto has been unreliable since 7.1.1. I have to reboot to get it to read the phone, random disconnects......my cord is fine. Most recently the maps start getting glitchy and pixelated after 15 minutes and i have to back out and go back in. Just been full of bugs and unreliable in the last 12 months.

Back in early 2017 on 7.1.1. I found it to work quite well, not so much anymore.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] quakeaz:
The update won't go out until the first Monday of the month.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Colday96:
Did you see me in the oneplus forums? If that is the case, I exchanged my 5t for a pixel 2 because it was to large for me
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikeprius:
i did not. It's listed on your signature. That was the only phone I considered other than Pixel 2 however I have CDMA so I cannot use One Plus, but that was the only other Android phone I'd consider if I bought one.

It's probably good I never bought one as they were hacked:

The Pixel isn't perfect, but to me it's better than everything else out there.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] C5Longhorn:
Looks like it is out now.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] hudy:
That´s right. Version OPM1.171019.019
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MickyMax:
New baseband?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] snipeerz:
The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL include Pixel Visual Core, Google's first custom imaging chip that allows for HDR+ quality pictures in third-party apps like Instagram and Snapchat. But Pixel 2 users haven't been able to take advantage of those capabilities because the co-processor hasn't been enabled. Well, they'll be able to soon because Google announced today that it's turning on Pixel Visual Core, bringing the HDR+ technology that's been available through the Pixel 2's main camera app to other photography, social media or camera apps.

Pixel Visual Core uses computational photography and machine learning to boost image quality in third-party apps that allow users to take photos. Now that it's enabled, Pixel 2 users can just take a pic in another app, and Pixel Visual Core will automatically make it brighter, more detailed and clearer. You can check out a before and after above.

Google says the update that will switch on Pixel Visual Core is rolling out over the next few days along with other software improvements. Additionally, new winter sports-themed AR stickers should be available later this week.

anybody else having issues flashing this on linux? im trying to flash the full factory image and it keeps saying the zip archive doesnt contain any of the system images and it fails to flash or wipe / create userdata. im on linux mint.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikeprius:
will flash tonight. OTA of course not working which means sideload.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] PuffDaddy_d:
These same issues were being reported in the 2XL forum as well.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] an21281:
Temp fix is to remove pin/unlock from device and then boot to TWRP, flash whatever you need, then boot back up and you can add pin back. Or wait for TWRP update
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] XDAUser1234:
Best way to side load this? Pixel 2 that I rooted + Xposed before taking the January update that locked it down (haven't loaded that one yet either)

Thanks!!
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Matterhorn:
I sideloaded the OTA today. Android Auto and bluetooth seems to be working great now.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikeprius:
I sideloaded the Ota stock. Android auto still disconnecting for me. Bluetooth is fine but it just disconnects generally when music is playing.

Also not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but my maps gets pixelated and glitchy on the car screen after using maps for like 5 min then I have to back out then go back in.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] XDAUser1234:
looking to update to Feb patch, has anyone tried the Magisk steps (https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md#ota-installation-tips) of uninstalling, taking the OTA, restoring etc? Or just sideload? Want to preserve root, magisk, etc.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] vuP22:
How long does it normally take to find a new OTA Update? My Pixel 2 still says system is up to date (but I haven't installed the feb patch yet).

If I sideload it, is it possible to destroy my Pixel 2? (bootloader locked, everything stock)
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ApoelEllhnwn:
Download from apkmirror the latest beta version of google play services. Install it and check again for new update
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] fosser2:
I used Android Auto for awhile this morning with the February patch, and so far everything seems good. Finally... because of the crashing it was unusable prior to February.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] vuP22:
thanks, it's installing the update now :)

never thought an app can be this important
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Duhman72:
I last tried this method on the December patch. It caused a continuous boot loop.

If you try it, please let me know how it turns out. I would have tried it this time, but ended up being impatient and sideloading the Feb patch, since the Check for Updates button isn't working (although there seems to be a beta Google Play Services that fixes that issue).
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] coolmen777:
Can anyone provide the steps for sideloading the OTA Feb update (.19?) Verizon variant with unlocked bootloader running .013 (Jan updates). I do have Magisk installed and rooted to use AdAway, but no custom recovery.

Can I just unroot and take the OTA or will that lock back the bootloader? If sideloading (assuming sending adb command to update.zip) will Bootloader and root be effected? Will the app data be wiped? The OTA I downloaded is 1.1 Gb size, while the OTA on the phone is only 50Mb? Why? Thanks and sorry for all questions.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] XDAUser1234:
I am too chicken to mess with a good thing. =(

same exact setup and question(s). :confused:
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] klebane:
What is most recent version of adb for Linux. I am having problem flashing Feb update. The system image fails to flash and I get message that boot a not found. Investigating this error should be corrected by having most recent version of adb but I have 1.0.36 downloaded from Google which I believe is the most up to date version.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Duhman72:
This is from my windows install... but would think the versions would be the same on Linux. Here is the link to download latest version. SDK Platform-Tools for Linux

adb version

Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.39

Version 0.0.1-4500957

fastboot --version

fastboot version 0.0.1-4500957
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] coolmen777:
Any advice or tips at all? Primary concern is getting bootloader relocked if taking OTA normal way. Don't mind redoing Magisk for root. Anyone done this yet?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] radon222:
Two questions.

1) Has anyone with a VZW Pixel2 gotten the update via OTA? Still no love for me even with trying the Play Services trick.

2) The earlier comments about problems with Android Auto, are you experiencing them with a head unit in the car or as a stand alone app on the phone?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] 302skinny:
I haven't received the update as well. Like myself you were probably on the 8.1 beta and had to opt out to get the Jan patch. Then you probably opted back in like I foolishly did. Now of course the beta for 8.1 has been has been pulled due the stable build. Well now you can't opt out to get the update button to work for the Feb patch. I've tried to sideload the Feb patch several times and get to one step away and then my ota.zip file is not found. Anyway, very frustrating.

I tried the Play Services beta trick and come to find that my Pixel2 only updates to version 11.9.76. The "trick" apparently only fixes the update button on version 12.2.09. There is an APK of that version available to sideload though, which I haven't gotten to trying yet. Here is a link, https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-12-2-09-release/

Sorry I don't have Android Auto to help with that.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] XDAUser1234:
Sideloaded the OTA to get up to the February update, re-flashed magisk, all good to go.

Never had any issues with Android Auto so not sure what to look for on improvements! Only side effect I have noticed is my widgets take 2 minutes to come back to life after a reboot, anyone else experience that?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] coolmen777:
Thanks, was your Pixel 2 a Verizon variant? Was your bootloader unlocked and stayed unlocked? How big was the OTA that you flashed? Did you lose your all data?

Thanks, just need to make sure these things prior to giving it a try.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] XDAUser1234:
Yes, i am a Verizon variant - had unlocked the bootloader when i received it after loading to the January 4th update. Bootloader stayed unlocked. The OTA was just over 1 GB, the latest downloaded from the google developer site. I did not lose any data! Just the widgets being slow to regenerate after a reboot, but other than that all good.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] coolmen777:
Thanks, that's great to hear. I assume you had to unistall Magisk (does it restore the pached boot file?) and only then try to sideload OTA.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] XDAUser1234:
i did not uninstall, just sideloaded the OTA. Let that boot back up, then booted into a twrp image to install magisk again
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] coolmen777:
Thanks, I unistalled Magisk (thinking it might cause failed OTA) but sideloading just sits on verifying the package (waited 30 min). I dont have a custom recovery, but was using a command to install the Magisk. Looking into doing a full image flash (without wipe -w command). Will that lock bootloader automatically?

still not received feb patch???

I used to get monthly patch at right time but feb patch not yet received.

please tell me how to get it!!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
To perform a completely clean installation of a custom ROM, boot into TWRP and wipe system, cache, data.

I have always flashed performed a complete wipe, flash the ROM, flash the kernel, and reboot the phone and set it up to make sure everything works. I then flash gapps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
If you want a completely reset device then you need to flash the stock firmware via odin twice with a factory reset via the stock recovery in between flashes. This doesn't reset the flash counter, just everything else.

If you want to reflash a custom rom after that then you root via chainfire, install twrp and flash Los via twrp.

If you want to flash a kernel or anything else you can flash via twrp whenever you want but make sure they are compatible.

If you want to use magisk then you will need to refer to the installation instructions for both magisk and los. It will most likely involve uninstalling supersu and its binaries.

If you have issues with cell signal then you can look at flashing other modems. If no problems leave it alone.

Hello, how are you? in first place i would like to explain that my english is not pretty good, so... having said this.

I'm gonna buy a smartphone, my priority is the sound with headphones and secondly the camera (both as photos and videos). I don't care at all about the speakers sound, i mean, nothing at all.

My favorites are:

HTC 10 (this is i like the most i think, because the botons and another reasons)

LG V20 (this would be my second, something that i don't like about this is that the 3,5mm jack is in the bottom part, i mean, it's not irritating, but it's a little annoying)

LG G6 (according to web info, the version that is worth is the Korean version, is it like that? and what do you think about the normal version?)

What do you think. The htc has good sound comparing to the others phones? if not, do you think is worth to buying it being that is the phone that i like the most? i'm quite convinced about buying the HTC, but i prefer to take out the doubt.

I hope you can help me, and from now, thanks :)

Lg g6 = htc 10

As I can see this is the cross-post of which I have seen at the CNET forums. However, HTC 10 is now upgradable to latest Android Oreo and is much better in terms of performance, camera and as well as in sound. Sometimes Specs don't show you the reality, In general, loafs of factors depends on the phone so that It can deliver top-notch service. If the battle is among these three phones, if you look at the specs then HTC 10 is an eye candy and the boss for what it offers. Lg may be the king for the stuff like Televisions, DSLR camera and so on, but HTC is mainly about cell phones and that's also the reason why it won't con you out of money.:cowboy:

[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VMokaccino:
Hi,

My ZE550KL was locked in boot with this message: "Security Error: This phone has been flashed with an unauthorized software & is locked", so i followed some tutorials and was able to install TWRP recovery (i had bootloader already unlocked). Then when trying to reinstall stock rom, i realized i had to reinstall the stock recovery. I did it and installed the stock rom with version matching with the stock recovery i installed(UL-Z00L-WW-1.17.40.1531-user). Everything was going ok, but when my newly installed stock rom was popping multiple apps stopped working an i was unable to basically do anything. So i tried reinstalling stock rom again, but this is when things collapsed. As i entered recovery to reinstall the rom, it has lots of errors from partition cache

E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

. This same errors happens when i try to wipe it from the recovery, but when i erase the cache partition on fastboot it says "OK". I also tried to reinstall twrp, but apparently my bootloader was blocked again, and it says it is flashed when i try, but when rebooting it boots again on stock recovery.

So i tried just booting twrp, but then it says my bootloader is blocked and can't boot twrp. Also tried sideloading stock rom from adb, but it gets the same cache partition errors. I tried

fastboot -w

and it says OK but the cache partition errors are still there. I also tried

fastboot erase ASDF

and i get some errors.

TLDR; I'm stuck at a cycle where i have to remount cache and all other partitions via TWRP, but i can't install TWRP because my bootloader got locked again and i can't unlock it because i need to install some rom to do it, but since my cache partition is destroyed i can't install anything, neither via fastboot on pc nor from recovery on the phone.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpulson:
Did you tried the unoffical unlock way? It can done via PC in fastboot mode. Also did you tried `fastboot format system` kind of commands?

I didn't. Can you please explain how to do it? Thanks
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpulson:
Damn! I just noticed that you will need to be in system to gain root access. I guess then it won't work. I suggest to try `fastboot format system/userdata/cache` way as it fixed my issues with partitions multiple times.

[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpulson:
It's because you don't have any recovery or ROM on your device. Try flashing stock recovery.
