Well you are fine without OREO, but you already have OREO on your phone. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
It's not about defending Samsung. It's questioning the logic of fiercely complaining about something that most of us knew would happen. Samsung always does this. Complain to them by all means, and maybe it will change. Here though it's just beating an old drum for many who have seen it all before. We all want Oreo, but only some of us are shocked it's not here yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] p4rma:
So I moved from apple so obviously I'm in shock it'd taken Samsung so long to update their phone to the latest OS. OK maybe I'm complaining but I'm today's day and age you would expect Samsung such a big company to be much quicker in adopting the latest software for their phones especially for the note 8 which as it stands is still their flagship model.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BluePhnx:
Why are you complaining on xda when xda has nothing to do with Samsung?

Would it be better to complain on Samsung own forums so they know that you're not happy with the updates?

Complaining on xda will do you no good or help you get the updates faster! Xda is NOT Samsung or owned by Samsung so all your concerns about the updates won't go where it needs to go to.

You guys are using the wrong media/forum to complain!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Understandable. Yes it's different with Apple due to the nature of their software ecosystem vs Android's. Google phones get the updates fast, but other manufacturers vary. Security updates are of course more regular though (otherwise that would be a huge issue!).

[Samsung Gear S3] chanilopetrucci:
I have been using the Gear S3 Frontier for over a year with no problems. (SMR760-R760XXU2CQL1)

Suddenly, yesterday a notification on the Samsung Gear App appeared and said "Cannot connect to Gear S3", i took a look at the watch and it auto-restarted to factory settings (asking me language and everything just like the first use).

So, i did proceed to reconfigure it again (it was no update, already using Tizen 3.0.0.1 for over two months if i recall correctly), and everything works as before EXCEPT i can no longer reply to Whatsapp messages.

I always had the stock option of replying just as any other text SMS message, but now, when i receive a whatsapp notification and choose reply, it goes to "Check your phone" for replying. Anyone know how to solve this? It works perfectly fine with a normal SMS message though the stock app, is just Whatsapp ones not working.

paired device is a Motorola Moto X Play (XT1563)

Thanks.
[Samsung Gear S3] DonToben:
Me too.

It depends on last whatsapp update :(
[Samsung Gear S3] intherawone:
Solve the problem. By downgrade whatsapp to whatsapp-messenger-2-18-15 version
[Samsung Gear S3] chanilopetrucci:
Thanks, that solved the Reply problem! i didn´t think it was a whatsapp update issue.

Follow-up question, i used the version 2.18.15 and worked just fine, the problem is it only lasted a couple of hours because the whatsapp app itself forced me to update it saying it was an outdated version (even though i disabled the auto-update from the play store). Anything i can do to avoid this?

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear S3] tda8190:
the same for me.....?
[Samsung Gear S3] barallios:
Downgraded to 2.18.46 and it works without saying outdated version.
[Samsung Gear S3] RichQ:
Any solution?

Is there a solution to this without having to revert to an older version of WhatsApp? If not, how do i download an old version that will work, ie allow me to reply to messages on Gear?
[Samsung Gear S3] finddabexy:
I've had the same issue appear and unless you down grade your what's app it won't work ..

But I have found a way round it but cost me £1.70 it's a app called chat hub you download it onto watch and phone and I can reply using this also helps with reading multi messages that we used to have the issues with so in my eyes £1.70 well spend hope this helps.
[Samsung Gear S3] tipztv:
Hey guys, if you want to keep the most recent version of whatsapp and the reply feature, check out W-History on the Samsung App Store. I made the following video to demonstrate the app with the latest version of Whatsapp.

I'm on a Verizon model, so I can't root. Is there a way to disable or remove the two bottom corner lockscreen short cuts? I never use them and the actually get in the way. When I swipe up to unlock the phone, many times I find that I trigger those short cuts... pain in the rear. I know there are some ADB things you can do with those shortcuts, such as replacing them with other apps but is it possible to just remove them altogether?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] initeshx:
1) Install Substratum and Andromeda from PlayStore.

I was just wondering, if i was to run a COMPLETE WM5 upgrade from the t-mobile website, and it had a SPL in it too, would it overwrite the Olipro HARDSPL too?

I know how to use Odin for flashing Oreo on a Note 8, but I do not know how to switch to BTU UK on my Galaxy S8+ TPA International (So I can access Samsung Pay). Is this just a matter of flashing the Android 8 BTU firmware and checking CSC in Odin when doing so? Or do I need to use some "combination file"?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Flobbity:
As SuperSU causes nothing but trouble in terms of being able to use android pay, many apps, and the like, I wanted to move over to magisk, but I have SuperSU by virtue of a flashed boot image, so no matter what I try I can't get rid of superSU (even been rooting around in the system files to try and get rid of it and it just comes back).

Is there a magisk boot image for the E2303, and if not does anyone have a stock boot.img for the e2303 on hand, as I have managed to lose mine
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Hi7m3up:
Open supersu app Go to>setting's>select Full Unroot (clean up for permanent unroot)

Or do a clean install ( reflash ftf on flashtool ) then go get sorted with magisk

[Asus Zenfone 4 (2017) Questions & Answers] someaguy:
There does not seem to be a way to change this! Asus says that this is by design! It is awful! How do I change this?
[General Questions and Answers] flyingfishfinger:
Hi,

I hope this is not a cross-post; I've read a few other guides and suggestions on this forum already but my problem seems to be the opposite of what many people have.

I've got an Xperia Z5 Compact (not rooted) with a chipped screen. Touch does not work at all, but the display works fine.

I plugged in a mouse via OTG adapter and enabled USB debugging, then plugged it into my PC to attempt connecting with ADB. However, once I plug in a new device the phone wants me to confirm to "allow" the connection coming from my PC. But since my mouse is no longer plugged in, I can't accept the popup.

I tried to connect with AirDroid as well to try to accept the popup via screen share, but in order to allow WiFi screen sharing, it needs root (or an adb connection).....which makes the problem kind of circular.

Any suggestions or tips (or resources I might have overlooked?)

Thanks,

Rafael

Been in the process of flashing LOS 14.1 onto my Moto G LTE for over 2 hours. Progress bar has been stuck about half way at least half of that. I've flashed a rom (CM/LOS/stock) on this phone several times and have never had problems and it's never taken more than 20 minutes. So of course I have no clue what to do or to be more accurate what is safe to do. Is there a way to reboot into recovery and try again? Or at the very least restore my backup? Someone please guide me through what to do, thanks!

I bought two of these back in March. Finally got around to taking off my Whitestone dome and trying these out. First thing first these are a definitely thinner than the dome. I am glad I bought two of them. The first one cracked in the edge during installation. Do not apply too much pressure on the edges. The second one went in smoothly. Just had to massage some of the bubbles out. The bad thing about this screen protector is the black bar down the edges. It takes up some screen real estate.

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO TO HARM YOUR DEVICE AS THIS IS A VERY SAFE METHOD

So the first thing you are going to want to do is download adb and fastboot from here:

https://redirect.viglink.com/?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_151995375069212&key=f0a7f91912ae2b52e0700f73990eb321&libId=je997ak601000n4o000DAxccxrqeejw6g&loc=https%3A%2F%2Fxdaforums.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D2588979&v=1&out=http%3A%2F%2Fwww14.zippyshare.com%2Fv%2FufYG71o0%2Ffile.html&title=%5BOFFICIAL%5D%5BTOOL%5D%5BWINDOWS%5D%20ADB%2C%20Fastboot%20and%20%E2%80%A6%20%7C%20Android%20Development%20and%20Hacking&txt=Zippyshare

Next you want to make sure Usb Debugging is enabled on your Amazon Fire, to make it is set up right, open a new Command Prompt window and type in the Command: adb devices

Once you verify that your adb device shows up, type in the following Command: adb shell

After you type that that Command and hit ENTER copy and paste this last set of Commands all at once:

pm clear --user 0 com.amazon.parentalcontrols

Now all you need to do is RESTART your device and the BLOATWARE/LOCKSCREEN ADS should be gone!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] poorangus:
Hello.. I have been sinking my teeth into this realm for several weeks, and have noticed there seems to be a fairly important topic that is rather underdocumented.

People throw the word "ROM" around, but really with these devices there are several layers of software at work in this regard. I'm about to sound like the ultimate noob, so forgive me. But for example, users hear of a "splash screen ROM".. we read about SPL and its variants.. and of course the OS images everyone here loves.. somewhere in here there is a region accessed and manipulated by MTTY. So what it means to "flash a ROM" can vary wildly.

What I need (and many others would benefit from) is a link to a document that maps this out, describing each of the divisions of the device's low-level software, how they fit into the boot sequence and overall picture, and ideally, which of our tools they are connected to.

What happens once Windows loads is well documented, but what happens before this seems to be as crucial as it is undocumented (that I know if). Many people on these forums are quite technical, despite admitted ignorance of mobile device architecture. A better understanding of the playing field would eliminate much of the confusion users face. Many of the tools themselves are well documented in terms of usage, but their actual technical impact is a mystery to many.

Can anyone recommend any such reference(s) that might de-mystify the architectural aspect of our beloved phones and ROMs?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JeffDC:
I had the same issues flashing my 8+ . . . pit issues.

I found that a different USB cable worked, and also:

Go to download mode, start odin, load TWRP or other file, press start and then press pwn dwn, bixby and power, Odin will fail, but........

because you you went back into download mode, Odin will succeed next time you flash.

For some reason if I just acknowledged that Odin was going to fail on the first attempt, I kept the phone connected and did the routine, and on the second flash attempt, no more Pit file errors for me.
