permissions ....when i got the phone the other day it logged onto the elephone website.....but now it just says some app permissions are denied change them in "settings apps"..... so i look but it wont let me change anything.

so what am i missing?

just to get it to log onto data services was a hassle as it only wanted to use wifi..... since i have unlimited data on my contract its never an issue what i do with my phone, but it just denies me all sorts of access. i want to like the phone but its just giving me grief. do i root it and install eregon?

Hey guys, I made a test ISO for KDE Plasma Mobile that is compatible with Windows 8+ touchscreen tablets. It's early Alpha quality, so it's for testing and bug reporting only (although you can get it installed with some extra effort).

I'm hoping we can have a truly touch friendly interface on x86 hardware soon.

About ghost image / burn-in screen / image retention, how to fixes? US996.

I have tried some night app, but they are not included nav bar / navigation bar icons. Night Screeen app included nav bar / navigation bar icons but status bar icons fixed whirte.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mookiexl:
I didn't start getting retention until my phone started over heating. I you kill all back ground apps, turn off the screen until the cpu cools down, or any method that will allow the device cool the retention ghosting goes away. If you are a power user like me then you should probably do what I did which is get another phone because it may only get worse. No real burn in but the retention and ghosting. Also non of those apps to fix it works better than the methods I mentioned.

I don't want moto/lenovo again, because moto/lenovo have too bad tech support. My moto X pure still running Android 6, I call them many times, moto/lenovo keep me waiting.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mookiexl:
To be honest I've never called any of the manufacturers for any of the phones I've had. Most of the nagging issues that I've encountered with my phones, I always turn to root and XDA for support because the guys in this community are much more helpful than any customer service rep or tech support I've ever talked. For instance the overheating of the V20, I saved my self precious time talking to reps by rooting and using the the thermal fix in this thread. That is why I never buy phones that I can't root, you get faster fixes and updates on XDA than the manufacturers.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] kudouyuzi:
I agree. But I do not have enough time to go to the community for help. Usually I will ask the manufacturer, if it is not a hardware problem I will ignore it, but if there is no system update for a long time, I would think this manufacturer does not care about user experience and security. So I will not buy some stuffs from this Chinese manufacturer.

so my phone power button is sucks right now, and is very hard to press, i wonder if there is a way when my phone is dead, and by charging it will allow it to be turn on like an iphone! this helps alot, i dont care if i have to change anything as i am ready to take the risk if its possible!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] CeBits:
The power button is easy to change and is very cheap. It's basically a flex cable and you cannot fix it. The copper switch is so thin that once you open it will break.

Here is a link where you can buy replacement flex

And you can find how to guide on youtube.

There was a trick to power on redmi note 2 with broken power button, maybe it works on RMN3 as well, but be careful with this method, you will have to reinsert the flex cable fast.

[LeEco Le Pro3 Elite (Model x722) Guides, Developme] randxor:
I noticed that my phone makes a coil whine like noise a few days ago when I switched to AICP, but I don't think it's related, probably just a coincidence, that I brought my fingerprint sensor near my ear just then. Will try if I can hear in TWRP as well, my bet is probably yes.

The noise seems to relate to cpu load, since when locked it's more like a static and when I unlock it turns to scratching and I think it gets a bit worse if you run a heavy app.

I know I am reposting this:

https://xdaforums.com/le-pro3/help/werid-moise-near-fingerprint-t3521137/page2

Since it's not in x722 subsection, and I guess that's why no has seen it.

So, do you have this issue on your x722, and is it big deal(ie. the unit is defective and will die in a few weeks/months of usage kind of thing)?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Elite (Model x722) Guides, Developme] sk8223:
This should be in the Question & Answers section: https://xdaforums.com/le-pro3/help

This part of the forum is strictly for development.

Switch back to an eUI ROM and see if the fingerprint sensor still makes that sound. If it does, you have your answer. Most likely a hardware issue. LeEco isn't known for its quality checking or excellent hardware, after all.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Elite (Model x722) Guides, Developme] randxor:
Will check if it's related to the custom rom.

The questions/answers is mainly about x720/x727. I did post there but I guess people don't bother with it.

I guess quality can be on the bad side, but I wonder if it's a serious issues that will lead to a non-working phone, or just a minor annoyance?

I am thinking it could just be an inductor that doesn't have enough glue, so it vibrates, but then again if it's so small(a few mm) how could it be audible? Then again the sound is not constant buzzing but a varying scratching.

[Elephone S8  Guides, News, & Discussion] Doge199:
I want to draw attention of all the users of Elephone that the stock ROM is bloated with a spyware com.adups.fota

I found this on my phone today. It transmits every details of your phone and it can remotely access all your documents.

Be careful. Check your phone and run debloater on it.

[Elephone S8  Guides, News, & Discussion] anox:
How to check/remove system apps

This is a serious accusation, the OP should include concrete evidence and more details.

Here is my research:

Adups is a Chinese provider of FOTA (firmware over-the-air) update services to a number of OEMs including Elephone. In 2016, there was this news about spyware in some of BLU devices. Here is a good read: https://android.gadgethacks.com/new...be-affected-by-adups-chinese-spyware-0175014/

Here are official Adups' responses: http://www.adups.com/article/article.php?id=113

Sounds to me like that thing happened to some BLU devices and then Adups updated the OTA app to remove that thing. And, I checked our OTA app is newer than that of the BLU in the news.

Anyway, for those who want to check or remove the app in question, below is how.

If you don't know how to use ADB, then you should probably just skip the rest of my comment. :)

The following commands don't require root to work.

To check:

>adb shell

>pm list packages -f|grep adups

On stock ROM, I see 2 packages of Adups.

package:/system/app/AdupsFotaReboot/AdupsFotaReboot.apk=com.adups.fota.sysoper

package:/system/app/AdupsFota/AdupsFota.apk=com.adups.fota

To remove, enter the 2 commands below. Before doing so, you should know these 2 system apps are put there by Elephone for reasons. If removed, you are responsible for your own action. For one thing, obviously you will not get Firmware update via OTA.

>pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.adups.fota

>pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.adups.fota.sysoper
[Elephone S8  Guides, News, & Discussion] Plowmanx:
Thanks anox but, according to kryptowire, and despite adups' claims to the contrary, adups spyware problems continued in 2017. These include enabling adups to run any software they like on your phone at any time. Not only that, but the backdoor uses unsecured comms protocols that could potentially be exploited by ... well, anyone.

Apparently the eragon rom doesn't include any adups vulnerabilities. Of course you have to root and install it, but anyone buying a cheap handset without intending to run a custom rom on it might possibly be out of their depth ...
[Elephone S8  Guides, News, & Discussion] anox:
Thanks Plowmanx for the information. Right, Adups spyware problems continued and spyware can do lots of things. According to this: https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/kryptowire-adups-news/ in December 2017, mobile security researchers found that 43 manufacturers contained similar spyware. Funny that Elephone is not on the list. Maybe, they didn't test it or whatever. Anyway, my previous comment asked for evidence & details so that we can protect ourselves accordingly.

Obviously, any custom rom will not include Adups' FOTA app, because its OTA function simply will not work. OEM Firmware update won't even work on a rooted rom. My previous comment also shows how relatively easy it is to disable a system app without root. With root, of course, one can do all sorts of things even without a custom room. On my rooted stock rom, I got rid of a bunch of pre-installed packages including MTKLogger, just because I don't like its name. :) Even when I use a custom rom, I usually still have to remove some pre-installed packages, anyway.

In general, spyware/virus problems will certainly continue. One thing we as consumers can do is to find out the truth about them and try to protect ourselves one way or another.
[Elephone S8  Guides, News, & Discussion] Plowmanx:
Thanks anox. Agreed across the board. The S8 will be my first new phone since my trusty oneplus one. I enjoyed the availability of alternative roms there, which is why I thought of eragon in this case. But, if I understand correctly, eragon is now unmaintained, and because Elephone hasn't published its source code no one is producing any other alternatives at this time.

So the only way to go might be, as you suggest, to give up OTA updates by removing adups.fota plus anything else that seems suspect. Keyloggers most especially. Hopefully elephone will come to the party when (if?) they push out Oreo for the S8. Really, there's absolutely no advantage for them in keeping the source closed. Look at what a huge strategic benefit it was to oneplus to make it open!
[Elephone S8  Guides, News, & Discussion] h1ckman:
debloater

I loaded up debloater and it would only show one apk loaded. Depending on what i enabled or disabled on the phone, i could get it to show different apk's as disabled. I disabled Wireless Update on the phone, re-ran debloater and it showed adups.fota as disabled.
[Elephone S8  Guides, News, & Discussion] Plowmanx:
I went in via adb shell and removed com.adups.fota.sysoper as well. No idea if that's bad or good, but I figure I can always factory-reset. Anyway the phone seems to work fine. Better than fine - seems like battery life just got a real shot in the arm!
[Elephone S8  Guides, News, & Discussion] steverway:
Are you sure about that ? You just received your s8 a day ago. How could you know battery improvement?

How is that we need to compile the app by ourselves ? Any way to get it in an APK ? I tried Android studio but get stuck with the compilation of your application... Do I need the AA unofficial SDK ? If such SDK is needed, where to get it and to make android studio work with it ?

I managed to build and install your app and I can display the different dials.

Reloading the settings by turning on and off the light work great.

But no data is being shown on the graphs and no log file is being made on my phone's storage, although it did make the folder.

I have also tried to find information with logcat, but I'm not very proficient with that and it feels like I'm doing something wrong because I cannot find any log that resembles your app.

How do you debug your program while being connected to the car?
