The black is very good for an ips screen, but of course, not as good as an amoled display.

Agreed one of the better IPS screens.

Hi,

I just can't belive that the guy in fron of me with a F^(%!&g Razr was taking better pictures and videos than me.

This was the best shot I get with my Tilt.

About the video forget about it, the delay and slowness was so bad that it isn't worth to watch.

Is there is any way to take better pictures with the Tilt in low light.

During the day the image is perfect, but when in low light conditions it delays the image and if you move the Tilt the picture get completly bad.

BTW the concert was yesterday in San Juan Puerto Rico and it was the best concert ever!!!!!

Hi alcoholpr

Thats so weird - I haven't listened to Iron Maiden for around 5 years but spotted Killers in my CD collection while I was getting ready for work this morning. I used to play that album non-stop when I first got into them! :D

Then I noticed the first ten years box set so while I got ready for work I played the trooper, aces high, I got the fire, 2 minutes to midnight, can I play with madness, cross-eyed mary, number of the beast...... it was great to hear their best songs again - I got so into it that I was almost late for work.

I can't believe they are still touring. Can Steve Harris still play bass better than the best?

My Maiden pics (L.A. Forum, Feb 19) came out decent when I held the camera still enough. Most of the ones that didn't come out decent were because of me moving the camera too much in the low light.

Edit--nevermind. I didn't know it had unlockable bootloader. Had to cancel order.

I didn't know Walmart sold Pixels but last not I found a pretty good deal. $849 for Pixel 2 xl 128GB. Thats $100 cheaper than Google Store. When I checked out with the Wal-Mart app they took off another $5 bringing the total with tax to $896.75

It may be a mistake on the website. I was considering saving money and going with the 64GB version but the price remained $849 regardless of which oneI selected (64 or 128).

I believe this only applies to the all black model.

I've gotta wait till Monday for it to arrive. I'm really excited to have a Google phone again!

Hi,

This phone worked well,after upgrades, in Germany and India but it does not seem to work in UK. I have tried Orange and Virgin operators but not able to make any calls.

I have tried both sims in my nokia phone and these are working fine.

After dialing *#06#, I get a number which is quite different from the number on the back of the phone. So seems it has changed after so many upgrades...

Can someone suggest if I need to change IMEI. I tried updating radio rom to 2.69.xx.xx..but that didnt help.

Thanks

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] l3v5y:
Is it because the device has been blocked by UK operators (this would be the case if it was lost or stolen). Is it a G4 or a G3 device? If it is G4, the IMEI can not be changed. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=278978
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] wilson77:
Its G4 device and I bought it from Germany with a contract. To my surprise, IMEI (from *#06#) is quite different from what is on the backside...here I am not talking abt 2 digit diff.

Could it be becoz of the lang. change (from Deutche to English). I am using 6.1 ROM at the moment.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] l3v5y:
Changeing the ROM should not change the IMEI as they are stored in different memory areas. Do you have the original box? and if so, does the IMEI match that?

Unfortunately, I dont have that box with me...as I threw that one whiel moving to another apartment...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] wfire:
I have a fully stock, non-rooted, T-Mobile-branded Galaxy S8+, and I just got the Oreo updated pushed to me the other day.

Since the upgrade, I notice that I am no longer able to extract APKs using file manager programs. ES File Explorer Pro, FX Explorer, Solid Explorer, and two versions of "APK Extractor" seem to just not see any apps at all. I've checked every single setting I can find in the device, I've checked permissions, I've spent hours Googling for this and searching XDA with no luck.

Is anyone else having this problem and/or are there any solutions or fixes? I don't see this as boding well for our development efforts in the future, if we can't even extract APKs now!

Hey Guys,

I ordered a used S8+ from ebay from an authorized refurbisher. Everything with the device is perfect, and Ive been using it in Canada now for over 4 months with no issues. However I would like to have carrier specific features like wifi calling and volte.

How can I go about making this switch and continue to sideload oreo updates? Is this even possible? I have used Samsungs odin tool and adb tools before but just cant seem to get any guide on here to work for me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[LG Watch Style] rpudner:
Just noticed my watch is downloading a system update, ut has paused as battery is too low, I am already on the December Patch, is this just a security patch or something else?
[LG Watch Style] ytsejam1138:
Wear OS 1.0 with the February security patch.
[LG Watch Style] tsmith154:
I look on the internet and see it keeps saying the lg watch style having the Wear OS 2.0. I look at my watch and it is the Wear OS 1.0. I see listed above Oytsejam1138 mention Wear OS 1.0 with the February security patch. It is bragged about how 2.0 is so much better, that it is such a leap forward. So anyone knows with the situation is? I see they sell them with 2.0, at least that is what I believe I am reading.

Another question but a change of topic. I have the lg g4 h811 phone and the lg watch style. I can use my phone to add to the grocery list or my other lists but the watch cannot through the Google assistant interface. On my watch I have to open the "Keep" app. and choose the list I want to add something to then hit + and one by one add to the list. That is so slow. I grab my phone and say "Ok Google, add to my XXXXX list" and is asks what I want to add. I say something, the app. asks "what else" and I go on from there until I tell it I am done. The question is, shouldn't my watch be able to do that? On my watch I can say, "note to self". My watch (typed text) asks me what I want inside the note to be. I tell it and it saves it in the "Keep" app. I can see them when I open my "keep" app on my watch or phone.

Change of topic again. (I should really make different posts and not compile all this here). Suddenly my watch has started to something. When I open the "Keep" app. it starts to sink and it never stops until I close it and randomly when I reopen it right back up again it is all synced up. Lots of times it never syncs.
[LG Watch Style] g00s3y:
Yeah, I'm also wondering about wear 2.0. Just got this along with a Huawei Watch 2 Classic, and I cannot get the watch to update to wear 2.0, event though it says everywhere it is supposed to have it.
[LG Watch Style] tsmith154:
I contacted technical and they said to first go into settings of the watch and do an update. I went into Setting./ system / about then chose update. The next step they said in the software in your phone OS to disconnect your watch. Now the next step really did not make sense because they told me to factory reset my watch. Now uninstall the app from the phone and reinstall the latest version. Now lpair your watch with your phone and let the watch update.

My results were bad. My wach went back to when I first bought it and I had to reinstall everything I had on it again. Waste of time. Since than I see my watch updated to 1.1. I don't understand because no where does my watch tell me I am running 2.0... It says Wear OS by Google 1.1.

But it does have Home App 2.11.0. xxxx Are they trying to say the term Home App is the Wear OS? then what does the term Wear OS by Google mean.
[LG Watch Style] thanioan1981:
Same here Wear 1.1, no updates to Wear 2.0

What the hell? Why is nobody talking about this? Well, except from us.

Edit: I think I figured it out. Wear OS reset and renamed Android Wear. So Wear OS 1.1 is the update to Android Wear 2.0. No?
[LG Watch Style] tsmith154:
I think your right. I looked at the Wear OS app on my phone and it shows that it is Wear OS 2.11.0.XXXXX and on my phone that version number matches the information given by my watch as: Home App 2.11.0.xxxxxx. I think the watch Home App is the same as saying Wear OS. and our Wear OS on the watch is what you said, version 1.1 is the same as Wear OS 2.1.0.XXXX. I think our watches are up to date. The terminology is screwy. The watch titles one way and the phone app title's the same thing a different way.

On the watch: Home app 2.11.0.xxx

On the phone: Wear OS 2.11.0.xxx

On our watch: Wear OS 1.1

Many others devices more older than G3 have p roms not free of bug but enough stable for dayli driver for example motorola devices, xiaomi and many others, if you go and check the lineage Os Page you can see there's no single Lg that have official support for lineage 15.1, even an older device like g3 have 8.1 through Crdroid and is smooth and stable at least for my device D851 variant. So conclusions the G3 development is practically dead, thanks to God for the devs that continue with the development, you know slow but is better than nothing.

Most custom roms I've tried the phone app crashes when you open it and on Lineage (and some other roms) I get unusable slow wifi. I also get an issue where the audio comes out of the speakers until unplug the headphones and plug them back in. Anyone else have these issues? Any fix?
[Nextbit Robin] /root:
Phone app only crashed in PA that too on roaming, local/non-roaming/home network works fine.

I have tried PA, Carbon, Omni (stayed on Omni) and Phone app works fine for local and roaming.

Stupid question but have you tried some other Phone app? You face the same problem?

Never had an issue with slow WiFi but PA had a weird issue of unable to connect to saved network if stayed on data/LTE for too long. So if I was on LTE for 6-8 hours and then turn on WiFi it will show connected to saved WiFi network but won't actually be connected had to restart to fix it.

No Audio issues apart from the general(what stock had) about volume steps not so well calibrated well but it worked seamlessly otherwise.
[Nextbit Robin] EAT_CHICKEN:
So these issues aren't normal? Did you ever have stock 7.x installed? I went from 6.x to custom roms. (If yes could you point me to the 7.x firmware files.)
[Nextbit Robin] /root:
Yes I was on 6.x stock for long time, then upgraded to the 7.x and was on stock for about 2months I think. Never had any issue on stock really. Stock was quite stable for me.

I installed the Oreo rom from https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-note8-android-oreo-update.

So far so good however the assisted dialing settings are in effect and keep modifying my numbers when I dial them,

so I went on the phone settings to disable it (or change the country since I'm not in the US and the phone came from the US)

but the settings are grayed out and I can't change them!

Any ideas? (screenshot attached)

You just need a Verizon (or just your native phone's carrier) sim card. Put it in, restart - voila! Settings are active. Change it to yours. Put your new sim card, restart and be happy!

You just don't need to do it. See my reply above.

---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------

That is not a solution. You can easily install EXDialer or any other dialer from Play Market and it will work like a charm. Or you can go with my solution above.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] theplagueisback:
Just because you like to install carrier branded ROMs and third party dialers doesn't change the fact that a fresh unbranded ROM also takes care of the Verizon dial assistance crap,

plus really, install another app just to dial??? Posting your solution is absolutely fine, just let people decided for themselves.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] theplagueisback:
If this is your first time then you really have to be careful, I knew what ROM to download for my phone and happened to finnd one that was

not carrier branded, in other words, clean android experience with no carrier tweaks, like the dialing assistance, if you are not confident

enough don't do it.
