So, if in Android 8 are absent most of those Activity, it means that something is actually in development, hopefully. We'll know more with the next beta, maybe coming with the february security patches in a few days.

It would be really nice if they add the following to the Glance Screen options:

1. Option to auto disable after 5 and 15 minutes

2. Option to change color of the text (red, green, grey, blue) at selectable start/stop date
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBelter:
When i first ever booted my Nokia 8 it asked me what colour profile i wanted to use as part of the set up procedure.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cri347:
It didn't offer me anything like this. The first setup I did that it had Android 7.1.1 and the august security patches.
[Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBelter:
You had to be quick to spot it, it was in the bit where you are doing the initial set up, it was before the phone was up and running and doing things like installing patches.

Hi, there are some updates about the improved Glance.

On the Nokia 8 Sirocco there is the new and improved Glance screen, I don't know why on our Nokia 8 there is still the old one and the new is present only as testing activities.

If you see this post on the italian Nokioteca community there are some screens of the settings of the new Glance, with the different styles and the always-on in the timing settings (but the Sirocco has an OLED display).

The owner of the Sirocco, un_padovano, also confirms that all apps are supported for notifications, not only the few of the old one or experimental version.

I have Lenovo A Plus rooted by Supersu and plan to upgrade it to the pro version, in order to be able to set the pin-code to root-access. I have a task to make the SIM card binding to smartphones so that employees can not insert their SIM cards into them. Is it possible to do this? I mean, that the smartphone refuses to work with another SIM card.
[General Questions and Answers] yurybx:
Okay. I'll ask the question in a different way.

How in sh-script to get the serial number of the SIM card or phone number? If this is done, then I can put the script on the minute-by-minute execution and cyclically shutdown the phone if the SIM card number is not the one. Any ideas?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] rafael.rm.moreira:
Hello friends, I bought a new Pixel 2 XL behind a seller, the same sent an OEM charger sold at Amazon. Some users commend, and others speak poorly. I plan on paying $ 35 and buy the official charger directly from the Google store. I do not think of paying for an Aukey or Choetech at the moment. Despite being great chargers, compatible with PD 18w. Is this Type C Type C cable from Google that comes with the charger good? I visualized type C 3.1 cables with certification recommended by a Google engineer, plus the cable itself of the company do not know if it is good.

About the OEM loader that I have, it would be the one according to the link ..

Google USB-C Charging Rapidly Charger for 2nd & 3rd Gen Pixel devices (18W 3A Charger + 3 Foot USB-C, C-C Cable) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MR7M2I5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_OLC9BbGQMCT3N
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] PacoBell:
The Google OEM charger is probably the best USB PD charger for this phone. It definitely supports the 9V profile needed to quick charge the P2XL. Don't get too excited, though. You'll never see anything close to 18W of charge. It's capped at ~10.5W at the phone, supposedly to eke out a little more longevity from the battery. I measured it myself with an inline USB-C power meter. Who knows if this is actually effective? OnePlus certainly doesn't seem to care about increasing current draw. They've charged at 5V@4A since the OnePlus 3 and I haven't heard any reports of premature battery degradation yet.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kismetmookz:
Bro i live in italy too. Any 9v charger will do. And for cables. Buy aukey from amazon. Hehe.. I have lots of type of cables tho.

Hello,

Yesterday I was replacing my screen protector, and I found odd thing. When I started removing original screen protector from the edge, there was another one. Unlucky I wasn't able to remove only the first one becouse it was sticked very good to second. Does P10 comes with two screen protectors preaplied?
[Huawei P10 Accessories] mikelektro:

[Huawei P10 Accessories] AntoSVK:

When I'm away about 6-7 meters from my home router, i have no connection, and then back online again, and so one.

Do you have the same issue, guys ?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
I think it's a hardware issue. Your problem hasn't been resolved with 2 different baseband versions, and I think you've done a factor reset if not mistaken. 6-7 meters is pitiful. I can go 30-40 feet away from my router without a signal drop. I would talk to Google about an RMA. Somethings just not right. Especially if your previous device had no difficulties with it.

What is happening?

Tested on my friends pixel 2 smaller one he is getting 34-36 mbps

It has been 2+ months since i bought this device but didn't noticed it earlier

I have tested on another site as well get about the same speed
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] trim81:
Thanks, is that the only file? Anything else to get the January modem back?

Update: I was poking around wifi settings and decided to choose the RESET NETWORK option.

Went ahead and resetted my network on my pixel, and it now seems 5ghz is stabling out.. Looking good for the past two hours.

Anyone else want to try and see if this is better for them as well?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] smallfish82:
Did this resolve your issues? Others have found factory reset not to be effective in resolving this issue.

Seems to be down to compatibility issues between Pixel 2s with February update and 'newer' (2016 and later) WiFi routers. Appears as dead or dropped connection (especially after phone being idle for a while) - definitely down to the February 2018 Android update.

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/73336431 Unfortunately whilst Google are investigating, they aren't communicating with users about progress.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] trim81:
Go to settings then wifi on the phone, tap the upper *three does, then RESET wifi, mobile, and Bluetooth settings. Then reboot. See if that helps

There definitely is an issue. With the February patch, but the resetting is helping me some. Less droppage

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] smallfish82:
Thanks, sadly this didn't help with my issues but worth a try.

Google are all over the place with this issue - denying it's an issue with the February update if you look at the issuetracker and pull out the people posting about the same issue we must be into the hundred's of users reporting the exact same issue.

Apparently there are the odd routers out there that this issue isn't presenting when connected to but so far there is no correlation. I think it's just down to bad code in the update.

I just wish they'd roll back to the pre-Feb radio in the March update but it's not looking hopeful.

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

To date there are at least 49 users who have logged the same issue on Google's Issue Tracker but there's been no response (about fixing this issue) just lots of going around in circles..

Thank you
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] fixxxer0:
i have the same problem at home, and remember reading about it being due to having a mesh network setup (multiple access points, same ssid).

i dont have these drops on other peoples home networks, or my office. only at home ( where i have a my ghetto mesh network setup). i notice its mainly when i'm on one end of the house, grabbing signal from this older router i'm using. i dont have it when i'm near the AC1900.

so basically - i think its a hardware compatibility issue between my routers (maybe just the one) and phone.

did you try a different router? do you have this issue on other wifi networks? -- dur missed your reply that replacing router solved issue.

Still using the original one, it still holding charge pretty well after 3.5 years of work (last 3 day, normal use)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bladebarrier:
Here's my anecdotal response.

I've used Anker batteries twice in my Note 3.

The first one started to fail, and was clearly bulging after about a year, so I disposed of it at a location allowed for battery disposal because I could literally see the OEM samsung case bulging from it expanding. It was never dropped, or exposed to extreme temperatures, and always in the samsung window case, or the otterbox defender (which may have increased the heat level without me knowing, but that's just speculative so take that with many grains of salt).

Having used Anker batteries many times before, I assumed the first replacement could have been a knockoff, or just from a bad batch, so I replaced it with another Anker of the type. Both were purchased on Amazon. I have had absolutely no issues with the second one, though I do feel the phone get warm when updating my ROM, etc, but that's to be expected. Aside from that the battery life has been very good, with a year and a half of use on it, and I never get concerned about daily use, out side of plugging it into a charger when doing gps/music for a long distance. Even without being plugged in, it stays pretty solid.

Full disclosure for my usage: I'm a light user during the day, aside from calendar, weather, 2 email addresses set to push, and 2 email addresses set to 15 minutes, a few texts, dropbox, drive, onenote, and google all on manual sync, and few phone calls. I'm also on lineage 7.1, rooted, xposed, and bloatware removed or blocked.

TLDR, my current Anker replacement works very well for my needs, but the first one did begin to fail to the point of it looking like it might go into a full failure at a dangerous level, so I can't be sure if it was a knockoff, a bad batch, or just bad luck.

OEM Samsung (if you need NFC)

I have always had the best performance with Samsung-branded OEM batteries. Some after-market batteries do NOT have the NFC antenna, so no NFC services . . .

One caveat though, watch out for used Samsung-branded batteries that are re-labeled to look like new. I had an instance that the battery I received was used and the case dented. The silver-black Samsung label had the corner near the bottom of the battery slightly folded back and crinkled. Also the electrical contacts showed signs of heavy use (wear and scratch marks). Luckily, the Amazon merchant replaced it with a genuine new Samsung battery in the original plastic case.

The prices seem to be getting better but eventually Samsung (or their OEM partner) will stop production (or maybe already has stopped), then the prices will be stratospheric . . . YMMV as always.
