On SamMobile, it shows that Oreo for Bulgaria (BGL) is released, but I don't receive OTA on my device (I checked for an update a few times and it shows that I'm on the latest version) . WTF?

[MENTION=8444970]dubspace[/MENTION] Try updating via Smart Switch

After updating to Oreo i can no longer long press an app to open App-info. Do i always have to use the settings app now to show App-Info now?

EDIT: I found a workaround on reddit, it seams like they really removed that feature. Bummer.

"[–]Buplim 16 Punkte vor 2 Monate

I open the app go into the multitasking menu and hold the app icon for a little (not the app itself, it's icon on the bar), a "I" will show up where the cross was and it takes you to the app info. Hope that helps."

do you know if i can install Russia firmware on UAE model ?? same model.. would 4G be any different or???
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Guides, News, & D] pedodroid:
You can install SER Oreo firmware on your UAE A5. I have the same Phone and i'm on 8.0 right now. all you have to do is Download SER 8.0 firmware then put AP,BL,CP from SER in ODIN 3.13.1 and use Home_CSC from XSG 7.0 Nougat Firmware to flash.

edit: I've been using Oreo for about two weeks now and battery life seems to be worse than Nougat. Used to get about 7 hours of SOT on Nougat, now I get at most 5 hours 30 minutes.

Please suggest me a good stable rom.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
All the Oreo roms I have had tried, [most] eventually showed some kind of bug. Majority were just nuisance types, but a couple were more than irritating. It's probably because they are built without true 8.* firmware for our device. Personally, I wish I would have waited, because once you go to Oreo, there are major issues with going back. At the very least, be sure to do a complete back-up, but especially EFS and save it externally.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bot#1967:
I'll keep this short, as I don't want to waste anyone's time. 2 days ago I installed an OTA update on my Honor 8 while I had TWRP installed. I didn't know it was a red no-no when I did that and I now regret it.

I've looked for help on reddit but that got me nowhere as there are not that many Android support subreddits and the existing ones are not that active. I know that I have to flash my phone with the right firmware, but I can't seem to find the right one, as there are many different versions, such as OTA updates, FullOTA, as well as the region code. Then there's the issue of flashing. Every kind of unbricking video I've watched, flashes the firmware of their device using an SD card. I don't have a microSD card reader, so I don't even know how I'll get the firmware on it. I'd prefer to use something like adb platform tools to flash the firmware, but if it isn't possible that way, I guess I'll buy an SD card and use someone else's setup to move the firmware.

My phone's model number is FRD-L09, it was running Android 7.0 and EMUI 5.0. I don't know the region code, but I bought the device from an UK supplier, but on the back of the phone's box, it says Huawei Technologies (Netherlands).

Any kind of help would be greatly greatly appreciated!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Retriooooo:
If any of you can fix this problem I will be genuinely gobsmacked. Convinced the carrier is blocking it intentionally although I haven't actually seen anybody say that's a possibility so I'm not sure if they do that.

Basically, going to Japan in a month's time, and I can get a 3gb data sim for £19, whereas on my current network it's 20p per MB. So, effectively it's 100mb for £20, or 3gb for £19, so... go figure.

Need to unlock the phone to use it though - which absolutely will not work in any way whatsoever.

I bought an unlock code form eBay, and have now received it. Problem is, no matter what I do, I cannot get the menu up to put the code in.

Every single thing I try just results in "Connection problem or Invalid MMI". If I try the dial code 2945#870# it says the message. If I try the same code with a comma, it gives me the same issue. If I try it with a + at the start, same problem. If I insert a locked sim card, it just says "network locked" when the phone turns on, and that's literally it. It then proceeds to display the signal bar with no bars full and an x next to it. It doesn't prompt me to enter the code either.

I've restarted it, reset it to factory, tried that radio solution but I can't even get into the phone information menu because it just says this app doesn't work on this device. I've tried all sorts of other codes too which just brings up the same message.

All I can think of, is the carrier is intentionally blocking it, or I need data on my sim card to actually be able to connect to it (Which I don't have right now and spending £5 just to be able to connect to it, when it probably won't work anyway seems pointless).

If somebody can help me resolve this I'll be forever in your debt lol

It's an LG G6 (H870) if anybody was wondering, currently locked to O2 (Whether that makes a difference).

Got an Honor View 10 from John Lewis yesterday and was lucky I pulled the trigger yesterday because the price went up from £339 to £449 overnight. I haven't opened it but just wondering whether not having OIS is going to be a permanent thing and also is Bluetooth going to be updated to 5.0 if it isn't a hardware issue?

anyway Honor have answered me, Bluetooth is permanently on 4.2 as its a hardware issue. The OIS stuff they have forwarded to their R&D department.

[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] Nolia:
haven't opened it. Normally goods sold in the UK from big chains have UK plugs.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] Nolia:
bluetooth 5 allows you to connect 2 devices simultaneously e.g you can connect 2 bluetooth speakers and stream music to both of them. In 4.2 its one or the other, it will show there is 2 bluetooth headphones/speakers but you have to chose 1.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] varignet:
Please let me know if you decide to open yours, will do the same. I wish it comes with the EU plug it would work better for my ends.

p.s.

congrats on the deal, I was keeping an eye on amazon at £369.99 until it run out of stock.

Following day CPW had it on the website at £339.99 for 2 days, I was literally ordering it when the price went up to £449.99 I think it was.

Johnlewis luckily had it in stock at £339.99 and I pulled the trigger. I knew JL was going to amend the price and bam it did the following day, following CPW 's foodsteps eheheh.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] Nolia:
yeah they follow each other haha. The note 8 dropped at CPW and bingo John had it at the same price. But anway, why so much emphasis on EU plug assuming u live here of course or u live in Spain:p lol

And since TWRP is officially released for X4 this might be possible IDK.

If anyone can confirm that this works I might as well void my warranty right away for this.

I've used this company's product before and it's a good product for what it is. With that said, I took mine off after a few days because I couldn't stand the slight feeling of stickness around the edges. I don't think that's really preventable, so it's not a knock on quality, it's just a nature of having a wrap.

SIM card slot #1 can only work with 4G and only with internet. It cant make calls, sms etc. It says "Activation failed".

SIM card slot #2 works fine, but it needs time to wait to make it work with 4G. Sometimes it lose 4G and doesnt return back even if I try to switch "only LTE" or make network search (there are no 4G providers at the list).

In my opinion it is kind of creepy having the device listen to every sound around it at all times. Many, MANY, exploits were released in 2016 and 2017 specifically based around bugs in mediaserver, and audioserver.

You said this might entail using "...a modified mediaserver, a modified audio library for its processor and some lib files for voice detection..."

So I don't know if I'd even want to mess around with that until maybe even 8.1
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chrismin13:
True, there are significant security concerns. However, many other devices have also invaded our personal lives, with smart speakers especially becoming more popular lately. I agree, this is scary, but if I'm the one making the code for my device, then I'm more confident knowing what my device does. Also, this is more of an experiment rather than a long term solution. So it's up to you whether you want it or not. I'm willing to take the risk.
