[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JeffDC:
I think the first thing I'd check is with the manufacturer, to see if the gadget is compatible with Android 7/8.

Android 4 is a while back, and if they have not updated their software, could be a good chance it will not work.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Thepooldiva:
Software 4.4+

I assumed when the manufacturer said 4.4+ OS they meant 4.4 or more/higher...I am confused.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JeffDC:
When they put out their app, they had it designed at the 4.4+ level (minimum), which apparently was the current OS, or they had it back compatible. Unless you can find that it is, for certain, compatible with (even) the most recent Android OS's, 7 and or 8, you might be surprised that it is not compatible. A fair of number of apps, particularly those that need access to Android root file systems, have had to update as there have been a number of security and other internal updates since 4.4. Some authors just don't care after so long, and have not or will not update.

Write the author or check the publish date/date app might have been finalized/version date if you can get into the app running file contents/properties.

I'd hit up the author first. May save you some time.

If that's GTG, then I'd think it's likely a cable issue/bad unit.

Maybe hunt around for another, older device, meeting 4.4 or close, you can test on.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Thepooldiva:
Software 4.4+

Thank you! I will see if I can contact the manufacturer. I tried to follow a link through their app on my phone and I get an error message. I also tried using another OTG app, as was recommended by someone else encountering problems...that app did not work either. They said the Depstech app worked after using another app first. I would like to get this working or find one t hat will work.

as the title suggests.. i have a dead universal (no power, no boot loader, etc) and i'm wondering if i can remove the ram chips off it and piggy back them to my working universal for a 128mb RAM upgrade..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] maximus9314:
No, you need to solder off the existing 64mb chips and replace them with 128mb chips. You can not just 'add' another 64mb.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AntiProxy:
thought so..

back in the days of my iPAQ they used to stack memory chips and it worked just as fine..

Hello,

I have s8 G950W.

How do I make backup of all apps for ex; whatsapp, viber, uber, tinder etc so that I do not need to re-activate all apps after i flash custom ROM or after I flash stock rom.

Thanks

Use smart switch, but i don't believe it backs up data from the app. Some apps like whatsapp has backup features so use that just in case.

Not notifications, but apps unnecessarily syncing data or using the sensors when in idle.

Does anyone have a fix?

You don't need to write adb devices when in recovery mode.

Simply place OTA zip file in adb folder .

Boot phone to recovery mode.

Select adb sideload.

Write adb sideload filename.zip and press enter and wait .

After successful installation reboot to system.

That's it.

I also did it in same way with bootloader locked.

Hope this will help you.

Mine seems to be settling well. Better on 2nd charge than 1st.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Alekos:
I am really suprised how stable this is. I did a full wipe/install and restored all my apps and settings through google cloud. I haven't had one crash or black screen (where you need to hold power for 10secs to restart).

Everyone needs to remember that you need at least 2-3 days for the phone to "settle" - there is no way to know how the battery is after a few hours after flash. Cycle battery from say 5%-90% / 90%-5% at least 3 times, then you will how your true "sot".

I like this preview - the changes they have made and the small implemented features I feel are useful - ie. the entire power menu/volume options and screenshot setup is cool.

I am only experiencing one small issue with Nova Launcher, sometimes a toast msg comes up saying "api compatabiltiy" for 2 secs then goes away. Not sure how to disable that, but that is really the only issue.

[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] MusadiqManas:
1) Hi guys.. I clean installed DP1 yesterday and later I came to know that Magisk v16 is able to root the Android P DP1 but has some issues with Magisk Manager.. Today I thought to try Magisk to get root privileges.. Installed TWRP 3.2.1-2 successfully and then flashed Magisk v16.. In TWRP, it showed as a successful install but when I rebooted into System, there was nothing.. I was expecting to not seeing Magisk Manager app but I thought Magisk might invisibly present there to grant root access.. I installed Busy Box and Titanium Backup to check root access but both apps could not prompt root access window .. I tried again with Magisk v16 to no avail.. Then I tried with SuperSU v2.82 SR5.. and the outcome was again same.. Looks like all flashing of Magisk and SuperSU isn't having any effect..

2) Can anyone enlighten me if I perceived or did anything wrong, or is there any way that I can try to obtain root on my Marlin running on DP1.. It's quite stable and smooth for a normal user like me and I like the animations too.. I'd rather use it as a DD if root access could be obtained than to revert back to Oreo.

3) Any guidance would be appreciated.

Regards!
