[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] JohnSoong:
Did you find a solution?

I think I have the same phone from ebay - pre-Soff Sprint that was converted.

And no GPS lock. (running Oreo US Unlocked.)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] kimba99:
unfortunately no... still trying to hunt for a solution. so yours was a 2PS6400 before... sprint? mine was a 2PS6500 though, as written on its backside (XC edition with 64GB internal btw)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mswlogo:
Just a follow up. I sent mine back. Got a new real Verizon one for $200.00 on eBay (had no box but it looks new with fairly recent build date too). Works perfect, including GPS without being activated.

I had to manually flash it to the last Android 7 update via adb/fastboot couldn't do it OTA (WIFI) which I thought was a little odd.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _qbert_:
Hi,

from one day to the next the tablet began to reboot itself continuously.

If I try to access the android menu to perform a factory reset or a wipe cache I can safely.

But at restart it starts restarting until it goes out.

What can I try to verify or do?

I can not remember the version of android installed in the least.

Thanks to anyone who can help me

[Samsung Gear S3] gettinwicked:
I swear there was a thread for this before. My apologies if so, I DID search for it.

Anyway, I used to be able to answer calls on my watch from my phone. Now I only get the option to decline the call. Did anyone find a fix for this? I don't use it much, but I needed it today. It would be nice if all of the functions of this watch worked...
[Samsung Gear S3] dbregman:
If you are connected BT and a call comes in, you will only be able to answer it of you have phone calls enabled in the BT setting for the watch. Doing so will not let you take calls on a BT headset though as the watch acts as the headset.
[Samsung Gear S3] gettinwicked:
Is this new since Tizen 3? I used to be able to take calls on the watch without setting anything up differently (just pair it and done), and my phone would decide the preferred device. Meaning, if I was in my car, my car would ring and I could answer on it. If this is the case now, that's kind of a big step backwards!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wanalearn:

[LG K10 Accessories] D_Vovan_238:
Hi

This flash memory can be accessed via Wi-Fi, great OTG Replacement :)

And more, it can create Local Network for 3 devices :)

In next version of MiniX Engine will Integrate this Memory Stick Support…
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
I've uploaded it in another thread.

Give it a try, let us know. I'm pretty sure about it, it has a good provenance, but I don't have the card to test it with.
[HTC Tornado] WARpig5:
Can we please have someone with a SDHC card try this on their tornado? I really want to buy a 8 gb sd card but not sure if it will work with this. THANKS!:)
[HTC Tornado] chp:
I just gave this a try on my T-Mobile SDA (US) with GnatGoSplat's WM6.1 ROM and...

It doesn't seem to work. My 6GB microSDHC (in a miniSD adapter) isn't visible, but my 2GB microSD (in the same miniSD adapter) is visible.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Youdo a cold reboot after installing, changing files &c?
[HTC Tornado] chp:
Yep. I had to of course, to switch between my microSD and the microSDHC.
[HTC Tornado] jerryii88:
I have a Cingular 2125 with NitroGens latest ROM and My 4gb SDHC Sandisk card didn't work, thanks for the files though. Someone will eventually get SDHC working and all will rejoice. BTW, thanks to all who have made WM6 possible on the Tornado.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
The 'SDHC' card should be 'official' with the SDHC sticker/logo.

For any non-SDHC card, you need to format it with a FAT32 file table.

SD Memory Card Formatting Software

It may be better to use FAT32 with upgraded devices anyway.

Just to go over what should have been made clear in the text file:

Install SDHC.cab

Overwrite /Windows sdbus.dll sdmemory.dll

Install Certs.cab

Soft reset phone.

Note: other versions have 3 DLLs

OMAP850_SDHC.dll

sdbus.dll

sdmemory.dll

This is all in the new attached file, but I would suspect that the OMAP850 library file is new in wm6.1. But It may not be the case...

To overwrite Windows files many people will not be able to replace files with ActiveSync, it's better to use a local file manager, e.g. Resco Explorer or OEM included soft - it must be able to rename files.

copy files over to device memory (not storage), e.g. My Documents.

rename the two files in \Windows\ from sdbus.dll & sdmemory.dll to sdbus.old & sdmemory.old

copy the new files to \Windows\ and soft reset phone

then delete the two .old files

Now this bugs me. Because I would think a cold boot would be required, but no registry settings are involved.

When I look at registry entries of phones with working SDHC, I see entries not in ours that refer to DLLs that don't exist in ours.

e.g. fatfsd.dll, fatutil.dll, SDHC_SC2410.dll

Additionally, what we are waiting on is a driver from Bsquare. The newest driver, which I can't find, is

SDIO Hx v1.2

Many people assume that at least v1.1 is in WM6.1, and it may be so. However, I'm not seeing any files in drivers cabs that have SDIO in the name, and no one seems to be exactly clear what the name of the driver file should be. Is it the OMAP850_SDHC.dll? I don't know, because I'm under the impression that the SDHC entry in the registry is really for SD hardware controller, so why would the library files use a different naming convention?

I am also having difficulty determining what versions of DLLs I am looking at, and maybe someone can help me with this.

I can copy a DLL from the device to the PC. When browsing w/activesync, properties info is not available.

When I try to check properties info on DLLs I dumb from cabs, it still shows no version info or creation date.

So even if I dump the ROM, I can't really figure out wtf I'm looking at.
[HTC Tornado] GnatGoSplat:
OMAP850_SDHC.dll is a device driver so it did not come with WM6.1.

It is also supposed to be device-specific, if you view it in a hex-editor, you will see it's specifically compiled for Tornado. It is named OMAP850_SDHC.dll in all devices with OMAP850 that do NOT support SDHC, so I'm pretty sure the "HC" means "Host Controller".

The actual SD card drivers are sdbus.dll and sdmemory.dll. However, using them from a device that supports SDHC doesn't work. I tried it, and it results in the card not being detected at all. I have also tried replacing OMAP850_SDHC.dll with OMAP850_SDHC_MUX.dll from the Excalibur and Juno (TMO Shadow). It boots, but doesn't see the card.

That's as far as I've gotten.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
That's interesting, because other people have gotten those very same drivers in my above link working in phones that are not the Artemis, some not even HTC devices.

IMHO, there are registry references missing and broken dependencies to be accounted for.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to examine the contents of library and driver files in such a way as to understand them... I need a digital Obi Wan.

Maybe one of our Chinese speakers can tell us more about the drives I linked to in the first post of this thread (which come from bbs.koxo.cn Tornado ROM forum). Like if any of hose ROM come with this preinstalled?

Then we could compare ROMs to see what's different, or someone could just tell us what they did.

This is the registry entries from a phone that actually has SDHC. You won't find many of these in ours.

Here's another registry snippet, of a mod a guy says he made to prevent the SDHC driver from getting lost every time the phone was powered of and restarted:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager:PNPUnload Delay
changed delay to 33186 (in decimal)

and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager:PNPWaitIO Delay
changed delay to 33186 (in decimal)
[HTC Tornado] GnatGoSplat:
I should clarify, I didn't actually try these drivers specifically, but sdmemory.dll and sdbus.dll from Excalibur and Juno which definitely DO support SDHC don't work.

Those registry entries also are not in Excalibur or Juno either, but SDHC works in them.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Yeah, I don't know. Why one 'needs' them and another doesn't?

There's also the issue of determining the various drivers' dependencies...

Knowing which handsets use the same reader hardware as well as using the omap 850 would help.
[HTC Tornado] GnatGoSplat:
Yeah, that would help a lot. There are internal pics of most HTC smartphones sold in the US on the FCC website, but unfortunately the pics are not detailed enough.
[HTC Tornado] beer2nd:
I tried it

It's not work on Tornado with my SDHC 4GB

Just curious if anyone has side loaded and is running Android P beta. And what's broken, etc.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] puertorecon:
I am.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] uicnren:
yes.

https://developer.android.com/preview/release-notes.html
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] letrain02:
Thanks for that. Figured since it was released through the beta program as an OTA there still might be early issues... "Slow and janky" clarified that. Doesn't seem there is anything too horrible that doesn't work.

In your opinion could this still be a daily driver? Of course that always depends on what your doing with your phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dobbs3x:
Just flash it and try it, if you don't like it flash back to O
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] letrain02:
Wouldn't I lose all my data? And past experience had showed me going backwards after major updates means restore doesn't work right...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dobbs3x:
Than don't even worry about the "developer" release and keep on Oreo.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
It's not an official release. You'd be fine going back to O. You'd have to clean flash O more than likely. So back up stuff for sure :good:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
I'd still hold off for a little while until it's been done a couple times just to make sure though. Although, I can't think of why it can't be done since it's not an official release yet.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] uicnren:
So far havent found any show-stoppers. A few apps dont work. Google Pay is being weird about adding cards, though I have some added.

If you dont mind running into some bugs, then so far, it seems stable enough, but wont really know til after using it for a day.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] letrain02:
you mind saying which apps? might not even apply to me. did you do the OTA or Factory image? i can't seem to find the OTA Android P, only the factory images on their site..i found a link from the XDA article for the OTA.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] uicnren:
so far the MyATT app crashes every open.

FiSwitch app, widget doesnt seem to work at all.

CustomNavigation bar app opens, but cannot be enabled due to Android version issue (also possible because Google seems to have gotten rid of system ui tuner altogether, or there is a new way you have to enable it that I havent found).

SolidExplorer gives a toast about API compatibility issue, but so far seems to work fine. I did have to delete and re-add cloud storage providers.

Off-hand, those are all I can think of, still have more to go through.

I installed factory images, did full wipe. In the past, when I have installed new OS with images, and deleted the -w (wipe user data flag) there were always issues, so I did clean install.

So far apps such as LightFlow, KWGT, CallFlash, things of that nature seem to be fine.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] hatdrc:
Not sure if this is a good place to ask but I tried to install the preview and get the following errors. I had already done the boot loader unlock as well as the critical unlock. After it finished I tried to reboot. It went to the white Google screen with the unlock icon at the bottom for a few seconds and then went blank. It came back with the corrupt message and will not boot past the the white screen. I tried different usb ports and downloaded it again just to make sure it wasn't a bad download. I also tried flashing them manually but that gave even more errors. I finally decided to go back to Oreo with an image I already had on my computer that I had used before and I get the same results.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] browniegirl:
Actually have you tried reflashing the March update then flash the Android p?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] malek777:
Been running the preview all day and so far no issues. No battery drain or fcs
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] hatdrc:
Yes but I just figured it out. I must have outdated ADB and Fastboot on my computer. I found another post from a little while back that was simailar to this. I downloaded the platform tolls, extracted them and then extracted the preview into the platform tools directory. I then ran the flash-all.bat and it went no problem. Just got it to boot up. Thanks for the reply.

Battery life, security, bleeding edge... I'm having so many "janky" problems I'm probably going back. I did the OTA update. Not a clean wipe..not sure if that is the issue. But several apps are force closing I can't even use the Google search bar on the launchers.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] hacksome:

I flashed the images over the March update, without a wipe, and it seems to be running perfectly for me. No gmail fc's or app crashes. I haven't seen any lag, in fact it seems incredibly smooth.

For an initial release this seems amazingly stable.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] wtherrell:
Not about to try. It blocks any overlay theming. If it were to include dark modes for, say, Inbox then I might give it a try. If this isn't fixed with official version later in the year I will not upgrade to it and will make any future purchases of Google phones much less likely. I'll go back to something with a headphone jack and SD card slot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] thawte:
I installed the android P update and then did a factory refresh. Everything is working just fine. The only thing I notice is that some apps have a small message at the bottom saying that the API is incompatible in Snapchat and Facebook but the app continues to work..

Very smooth experience though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] letrain02:
Well ran it all day... battery life is much improved.. probably because of no apps in idle can access sensors. Makes me want to stay..but pretty much 80% of my apps are force closing... Gmail opens see new emails, then just closes... Facebook even gives me the close, wait, send feedback pop up... Not sure what happened as other report OTA is fine. Maybe I'll try factory image and remove the -w to preserve data. The OTA image provided in the xda article might not of worked right???
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sphinxy:
I installed clean. No fc's or anything janky and definitely not experiencing any of the issues you have mentioned.

If you want to stay on it, i would suggest a clean install and begin fresh, as the issues you are raising is probably due to dirty flashing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] letrain02:
odd that others it worked fine.... flashing the full image with the removed -w made no difference...it appears i'll be starting fresh whether i chose to downgrade or not... :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] h0l:
Running pretty smooth (dirty flashed over the February update). Only thing is bugging me right now is the semi-transparent app drawer. The background does not seem to be the normal wallpaper but rather what you'd see if you long press the wallpaper to open the Google launcher settings. See screenshot attached...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] letrain02:
It appears that a fresh install of factory beta image and starting from scratch I gave no issues... Must of just be some dirty stuff going on. Had root, substratum, custom boot,etc on Feb. Flashed March OTA. Everyone was fine. Lost root but still had some stuff hanging on that I used root to change like icons with pixel mods... So then dirty flashing beta probably just jankied it all up.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] letrain02:
Possibly why I had issue is because of substratum overlays before flashing ota and icon packs.

How's the Ram management? Do the background apps close if you're using more than 4 5 apps? Ram management/ Multitasking is so shi*** in Oreo
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jamsoolee:
I've been running it since yesterday and so far, so good. Apps that I use work just fine, it doesn't feel anymore sluggish than 8.1.

Overall, pretty good, this is my daily driver, so I haven't had any complaints with it other than the few listed bugs and issues.

Yup, same issue here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Gregzi:
I sideloaded the OTA image on March update and factory reset. Cloud restore worked perfectly. Must admit that even for Alpha it is faster and smoother than O: No glitches, no heat, battery life improved, no FC. Only a toast message about Api incopatibility from time to time (had to look which apps are the culprit). Been using this as my daily driver for two days now. It stays on for the moment.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] smartymcfly:
How or why is ram management ****ty in Oreo?

I think it is much better than it was in previous releases. I can switch between apps pretty swiftly without any issues. Recent apps comes up faster than than in nougat and it fast to change apps. It seems like there is less free ram available t most times, but what is the point in a phone having more ram if it is not utilizing more of it. Free ram kind of seems like a waste of ram once you get past the amount it needs to keep reserved.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] MacTheRipperr:
I actually am really enjoying my experience on the developer version. I don't have any complaints other than it seems to have increased my volume to the factory speakers and causing distortion at high volume. This has not been an issue since I've owned the device.
