[General Questions and Answers] brainysmurf:
I understand that Project Fi uses Google's NVMO as my carrier, providing all carrier data (location, cell tower, usage info) to Google.. I also understand that without my own VPN, my traffic will be directly analyzed by Google. Outside of that, what additional privacy data will I sacrifice to Google using Project Fi?

Also, what do you all think of giving Google this additional data vs giving it to another carrier? I'm generally OK with providing Google certain data in exchange for using their services, such as Youtube media and mapping services. Do you think Google acting as a carrier is concentrating too much of your data in one company? Just pondering...

Thanks in advance.

Oui, c'est tout a fais possible. Et aussi vraiment facile. Il en a 2 moyens de le faire. Le premier il faut que tu a un micro carte SD avec au moins 8Gb mais preferement 32 ou 62 Gb. Ensuite I'll va te falloire downloader(je ne me r'appele plus le traduction francais) un fichier pour le model et version correcte de ton telephone. Apres ce la et 1 ou 2 actions de plus, le mettre sur le mico SD et faire le mise a jours en redemarrent avec l'applications des bouttons volumes + & - et le boutton de demarage. Le deuxieme methode c'est d'installer un program qui s'appelle "Firmware Finder" et apres avoir installer le logiciel suivre les instructions expliques dedans.

Je m'excuse pour mon francais. Je suis anglais et ca fais plus de 20 ans depuis que je le pratique. J'espere que tu as compris.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] dwj:
I think the 8.1 is a great update with everything flying along. I have one little annoyance though: my Bluetooth speaker is fine playing something (which is the main thing) but after I switch it on and before I start playing anything on the phone, it keeps bleeping that it has disconnected then reconnects again a few seconds later. My smartwatch is doing the same thing: vibrating that it has disconnected then reconnects again a few seconds later. Bit annoying & never experienced this before update. Anyone got any ideas what could be causing that?

Have you tried going into Developer Mode and Changing Bluetooth versions? There are several choices!

Well, I tried changing the Bluetooth version (AVRCP whatever that means!) and I've only tried it once this morning but so far so good and it hasn't been connecting/disconnecting at all. I changed it from 1.4 to 1.6 just by guesswork but thanks to poster who suggested that.

As I said, only day 1 but I'll report if anything changes.

[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] g-member:
Hey guys...... i'm lost wih this phone..

I followed the guide on unlocking and rooting the nokia and now i'm stuck.

I followed each step without any issues so i don't get it..

First i unlocked the bootloader

I sideloaded TWRP and flashed magisk

Rebooted and flashed TWRP..... no problems there..

Reboot again and it goes straight to TWRP...

Did a factory reset.... Still boots directly to TWRP

Tried to flash stock rom with OST, selected the nb0 files.... and connected the phone when it asked.....i see a progress bar but it doesn't move at all

Tried SP flash tool, that doesn't work at all, as soon as i connect my phone after loading the scatter file i get an error:

ERROR: S_BROM_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL (2004)

I rooted and flashed many many phones but never had so much issues as with this one...

I hope anyone can help me out, i can get into bootloader and recovery
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] g-member:
After much trying i finally succesfully flashed back to stock and it boots again in android....

But i can't get the phone in fastboot anymore, when i press volume up and power on it just boots into android

I'm done for now, it works but what a terrible phone to mess with.....
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SkaboXD:
power on + volume down is for fastboot

power on + volume up is for recovery

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cebulank:
The Update now is on SamFirm so no need to do those steps anymore!!!

Now i got it to work and its easyer than in some other Faq:

1. Download the French XEF:

https://mega.nz/#!CuZ0ADZK!D9cm15gCz3XyRgpCX8tCArgXQ4iGFQN6rFO9GGqiHrc

2. Download the Combo FW:

https://mega.nz/#!LnplQYTC!vO1O85WPKeKSJVQjqm4-_PIc55xwqx0j9w_55ZB6SXQ

Download the Odin for Combo (Mod)

http://www103.zippyshare.com/v/VAxBDzSe/file.html

Factory Reset your Note 8

Now bring your Phone into Download Mode (Vol down, Bixby button and Power) and flash the XEF Firmware including CSC not Home CSC

Take out the Sim and SD Card and do the initial Setup without Wifi/Cell

Factory Reset the Note again and flash the Combo File as AP and the Home CSC from the French FW use the Odin Combo version (MOD) from the download above..

After your Note booted into the Combo FW go to IME and type: *#243203855#

Change to XEF the Phone reboots and now you are on XFE you can check it if you take the last step and see that you on XEF

Power Off the Note and bring it into Download Mode again and Flash the XEF Firmware use the CSC not CSC Home

Now you are on XEF and you can connect to wifi and install Oreo!!!

Have Fun..

No need for OEM Unlock or Developer Options..

Pls if someone votes that it didnt work, let us know what the Problem is/was to help others. If you follow the instructions it should work 100% i tested this on 5 different Note 8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ivan_vylka:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cebulank:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PlutoDelic:
Hey mate, since you are not from France, is OEM Unlock available after switching to XEF for you, assuming you are not whatsoever tied with France (SIM, physically there)?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cebulank:
It should be there for me it isn't because I flashed about 30 times or more and now I have to wait for it to come back. But it should work for you if you still see it on your 7 rom.

I was on DBT Germany and no French sim needed
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ivan_vylka:
I think that update.zip should be installed over stock recovery without root on BRB2 firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cebulank:
I don't get what you mean there is no update.zip available
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ivan_vylka:
Do the trick with XEF CSC and download Oreo update. Skip installation for later. Browse in internal memory and you should see update.zip. Copy that zip and share it. Everyone with BRB2 firmware, but not XEF CSC will be able to put that zip in internal memory and install it over stock recovery manually.

Hello Everyone,

I am new to XDA but I want to share my work with you. I have developed an App using Appybuilder Platform and Sharing it here.

The App is 'Image URL Generator'. The basic function of this app is to generate a Image URL for an image stored in Google Drive. As most of you have noticed on various sites when we got the Upload Image Button there are 2 Options Available. One for Upload from Device and Another is to Paste URL. Some of we guys just upload the image to Google Drive and Paste the Shareable Link on the Site (I just did it in beginning) but all this resulted it in an error. So I searched on Google and found that the Link I pages was not the Image Link. So I think why not make an app which converts the Google Drive Shareable Link to a Image Link.

Here is some Artwork I created for my App.

You can use this App for Free for Generating URLs

Note:- You are not allowed to Share the Apk file on other networks without my Permission either you can send them the link of this Page.

Hello

When I purchased my Pixel 2 I used to have a true black theme when using dark wallpapers.

Since upgrading to 8.1 the dark theme is smoked black (a bit translucent). (E.g. I'm now in Tapatalk writing this I pull down the quick settings and I can see this text behind it).

Is this something that really changed in 8.1 or I have a bug or something?

I can't remember if the settings app was black before...but at the moment is light. Same thing with the Google Feed cards, dark wallpaper but white cards.

Sent from my Pixel 2
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Large Hadron:
Not a bug, this is something Google changed in 8.1 - solid black changed to a rather meh slightly transparent black.

You can use Substratum to change it back to a solid black if you want (though a lot of black themes seem to have irritating glitches with at least some notifications, so some trial and error may be needed).

The settings app was always white. You do need to use a 3rd party tool to change that.

I don't use Google Feed, so can't answer that last one.
