Hi.

After updating to 8.0.0. I no longer have the opportunity to make unique sms tones for my contacts.

Is it a mistake ?

Or is there a way to solve it?

Has anyone tried it out since we have root now? I'll try it myself if no one replies but just wanted to see if anyone tried. I'm running Arise Sound System on 8.1 and wanted to see if I could pull it off on P.

Edit: Ended up installing the developer preview and Viper. All of it works very well. Installed Arise Magnum Opus through TWRP and the magisk universal deep buffer remover and it works just as well as Oreo did for me, although I was told Dolby does not work with P.

The Planner Pro app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appxy.planner looks like a good substitute but the layout rendering seems buggy on the landscape layout of the Gemini.
[Planet Gemini PDA Themes, Apps, and Mods] Elwyn M3100:
I've yet to try it but for a long time on Android devices I have used Tiny Calendar

I've not had an major problems with it and my father gets on with it as well on his android mobile so I shall try it when I get mine. Hopefully it will work well enough ;)
[Planet Gemini PDA Themes, Apps, and Mods] jah:
Nice layout for calendar views. But Psion Agenda also allowed incorporation of To Do items.
[Planet Gemini PDA Themes, Apps, and Mods] Elwyn M3100:
For ToDo things I tend to use Google Keep now. With the benefit of it synchronising across all my devices with that account connected.
[Planet Gemini PDA Themes, Apps, and Mods] KevReillyUK:
Thanks for the recommendation of Tiny Calendar. This is the best app I've seen for replicating the two-week custom view I use for Google Calendar on the web, and the widgets aren't bad either. It took me a while to find the customisation options (you have to force rotate to portrait using the Gemini App Bar) but now it's set up to my liking it's great.

I stopped using to-do lists years ago when I switched from EPOC to iOS and couldn't find a way to integrate them into calendar apps in the way Psion Agenda did. I generally use all-day calendar entries instead, so Tiny Calendar fits my use pattern perfectly. Anyone with similar needs might like to check out Calendar Widget which among other options gives a very nice semi-transparent agenda list on the home screen that makes very efficient use of screen real estate.

I have high hopes for the official Gemini Agenda clone when it finally sees the light of day. One of the joys of Psion Agenda, aside from its fantastic integration of calendar and to-do functionality, was that absolutely everything could be done without using the touchscreen. Android on the Gemini makes touch functions much more responsive than the old resistive hardware and stylus, but I'd sooner have the keyboard shortcuts back.

If Gemini Agenda can replicate that behaviour I'll be overjoyed. Those early screenshots certainly looked promising.
[Planet Gemini PDA Themes, Apps, and Mods] jah:
I can also recommend Jorte. It has a great Daily and Weekly layout including To Dos. Works well in the landscape layout.
[Planet Gemini PDA Themes, Apps, and Mods] jah:
This is probably the best Agenda substitute. It's the aCalender+ and even has an annual calendar view:

When ordering now, shipping will take at least two months.
[Planet Gemini PDA Guides, News, & Discussion] jah:
I would agree that in general eBay can be expensive, but my Gemini from eBay was £380 which I think is reasonable. It is an option for those that can't wait.

Hello,

I want to root my LG G5 h830 but I do not have a Windows computer. I have an iMac, can anyone help me and tell me how I can root my phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] dbpaddler:
Out of nowhere my signal just disappeared. No bars. Just an x inside the area. I can't search for networks, find networks, choose networks. Nothing. I restart the phone, and it works for about a minute, then it's gone again. Strangest thing I've ever seen. I've toggled airplane mode, restarted the phone multiple times. I've reset network settings. I'm at a loss. Not rooted. Nothing out of the ordinary. About to hard reset and see what happens.

Any one have anything similar happen? Complete first for me since I've ever had a mobile phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] dbpaddler:
And sure enough, a hard reset did the trick. Such a pain waiting on the restore. At least it wasn't something I had to send it back to Samsung.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] bryanus:
I can't seem to get the OTA. I've been on 7.1.1 this whole time (rooted with TWRP/Magisk) and have been waiting for the official 8.1 to be released.

I just flashed the full back-to-stock for 7.1.1 (using invisiblek's images), but after completing successfully, the OTA doesn't show up. I'm on T-Mobile, and I've confirmed that I no longer have root or TWRP recovery.

In fact, I noticed that there doesn't seem to be a recovery at all anymore (lying down droid). Is that normal? Is the stock recovery required for the OTA to be received? How do I get that back? TIA

Also, my bootloader is unlocked. Is that the issue? TIA.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ChipStewart:
Sorry for this long-winded question but this puzzle has lots of pieces.

The USB port on my XT912 stopped working for charging, so I jerry-rigged the phone by soldering a a LiPo charging module like this one onto the back of the case and putting little copper-foil contacts on the back of the phone, until I could get around to fixing my hot-air rework station. It's been working okay for the past year and a half, but the time to shut-down has been getting shorter - even with the battery level showing high.

I just re-flashed stock ROM VRZ_XT912_9.8.2O-72_VZW-16-5 on the phone, it booted, I went through the setup, and it worked well - until I rebooted. Then, upon booting up fully, it would immediately shut down, even though it showed a full charge. I re-flashed again, re-did the setup, and again it worked. I rooted, and installed SafeStrap, with which I installed Lineage OS. Again the stock would shut down. After switching to Lineage, Lineage would shut down - not what I expected.

Okay, I know I need to fix or replace the rework station and replace the jack, but I don't have time for that right now. Even if I did, it would still reboot. Any ideas? Do I need to reset some sort of low-level battery stats file?

Thanks

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xdatoncat:
I have had the same results on three seperate phones.

All three phones have the following Device Information:

ROM version: 1.56.421.1

ROM date: 10/26/07

Radio version: 1.27.15.32

Protocol version: 22.51.88.13H

The phones exhibit a number of problems:

1)	Phones hang when locked, which stops all incoming calls. Can only recover by resetting phone. This makes the phones unusable while travelling.

2)	Phones reboot without warning.

3)	Phone does not charge from USB port under certain conditions. This happens when the phone is used to connect to the internet (Internet Sharing).

4)	Battery does not last a day under normal usage. (Seems to be a common problem on this forum)

The main problem that is causing us the most concern is the locking up problem. We are NOT able to receive phone calls when the phone is in this state.

The symptom:

The screen cannot be activated after the power button is pressed. It is as if the phone is powered off although the LED is still flashing (slowly) indicating that the phone is still powered on.

This generally occurs after the phone is locked, the screen is switched off by briefly pressing the power button, and the phone is not in use for a while (+- 10 min).

The cure:

The power switch has no affect. The only way to get the phone to switch on is to press the reset switch at the bottom of the phone and then press the power button.

Leaf have:

a)	Reloaded the ROM’s on both phones.

b)	Replaced the board on one phone.

c)	Replaced the phone in b) with a new phone.

None of these actions has resolved the problem.

Has anyone had similar problems?

Who do we contact to get this fixed?

Your help will be most appreciated.

Tony
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] .dll:
What is htc gonna do about this?

Also having the problems you described except for "1) Phone hang when locked, which stops all incoming calls." By locked do you mean that the phone is simply in sleep mode or do you mean that you lock the phone first by holding "END CALL" for 3sec and then pressing the power button into sleep mode? I’ve tried all manner of combinations, but cannot recreate this prob on my device.

Device restarts unassisted up to 4 times a day

Sometimes stops charging over usb while internet connection sharing is active.

Battery lasts about 36hours with only a few minutes of phone calls and downloading email two - three times.

I have a theory that the reboot problem might be heat related? Seen it happen a couple times while device goes from 3G to hsdpa?

I did a hard reset on my tytnII last night. I want to see if some of these problems might be software related.

My tytn II:

ROM version: 1.56.421.1

ROM date: 10/26/07

Radio version: 1.27.15.32

Protocol version: 22.51.88.13H
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] basilrsa:
My phone is also a Leaf SA model with the same the same ROM loaded.

My phone seems to be OK on that front.

I think this is a perfect opportunity to get a refund. That's what I would do due to all the other major video drivers defects this model has.

Are you on Vodacom or MTN. Maybe look at the network as well.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xdatoncat:
Thanks for the responses

Yes the phone is locked by first holding "END CALL" for 3sec and then pressing the power button into sleep mode.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] vladimir_carlan:
You do need to unlock your bootloader in order to flash factory images. Removing -W from flash-all.bat file is just going to keep your data. Nothing else.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] flex360:
Obviously it's because your boot loader is locked

People like you brick systems because you don't read
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] siddhesh.raikar:
You CANNOT flash a system image without unlocking your bootloader.

You CAN sideload an OTA update without unlocking your bootloader.

You can sideload the OTA for P via adb.

But, there is no OTA update for going back to O. That will happen when the public beta starts in May.

To go back before the public beta starts, you will have to flash the system image for which you will need to unlock your bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Jonathan-H:
Flashing a stock ROM on an android phone should not require an unlocked bootloader to be fair. It's people like Google that force people to brick their systems using stupid systems. It's also people like you who offer zero help on forums.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] borillion_star:
Thanks Jonathan-H. I didn't see a OTA for Android P. I had been flashing OTA's in the past and that had me a bit confused. ("I swear I did this before, why not now"). Been a while as I had not flashed anything onto my N6P while I had it. The problem I have run into with my Pixel is that it happens to be one of those Google shipped out that can't be bootloader unlocked. My understanding is that I can do this by doing a factory reset, but I didn't want to loose all the apps and data, and go through the process of re-downloading every single one. I know its generally recommended to start clean.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Bwyan Benton:
To be fair... Google isn't forcing anybody to unlock their bootloaders. That's up to you. Anyone who knows what they are doing flashing system images will be just fine. You don't appear to be one of those people.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] uicnren:
https://developer.android.com/preview/download-ota.html

Be aware, while generally speaking, you should be fine doing OTA. However, with a locked bootloader, if you have any issue and something goes awry, you will have a brick.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sn0warmy:
No, it's people like the OP of this thread who expect to be spoon fed information that is already covered extensively in other threads. Including the thread dedicated to this EXACT situation of trying to flash Android P. A very small amount of reading in the below thread would have quickly answered the OP's questions.

[ROM NEWS] Android P - Root+Theme Support

Quite frankly, the fact that he thinks he can flash a factory image without unlocking the bootloader shows that he shouldn't be messing with his phone at all. Absolutely none of this is Google's fault.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dobbs3x:
Also from the official website where you download the images it has instruction which include needing to unlock the bootloader for full images. And also tells you that OTA do not require unlocking the bootloader.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] UberX_LuZer:
I have a major beef with samsung/android. The latest OS update on Marshmellow does not allow you to use a memory card for applications. Therefore if you have any phone or tablet with less than 16GBs you really dont have any storage to put apps. Im having to pay $200 for a new phone just because of this stupid update and many Samsung phones are still shipping with only 16GBs. SMH. Marshmallow = ****.

So what can I do to fix this? I have a Samsung Galaxy On5 with 8GBs and a 32GB memory card. My phone is rooted and has some other apps like rootcloak but I can't reinstall those on my own. My phone blocks Uber from peeping and I hear I can upgrade to Nougat to fix this issue. Any help is appreciated.

Hello there,

I use an app which works over Bluetooth or a local network to control your PC. I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for, because you can not actually see the PC screen on your device, it's more like a remote mouse and keyboard.

Anyway the app is called Remote Link. I can not post links because I am new here, but you can find it on the Play Store. It has a blue icon with a hand in the center, which is touching a surface, making waves to appear.
