[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] eried1:
I believe that once you erase the modem stuff you'll always have serious problems restoring it. It seems like most people have to send the device in for service.

I've still no solution for an old P2 of mine and in that case I even had a TWRP backup.

Lenovo should really allow for us to flash stock images . An unlocked bootloader with LESS privileges makes no sense.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] GuestK00412:
Wipe everything in twrp & flash twrp full backup which included efs & modem shared on our p2 forum. then flash Fastboot s48 only systemchuncks 0-14, boot & recovery then do 4-5 OTAs updates till latest one s251, you'll get you mobile network & calls back.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] .:B:.:
[MENTION=7499385]eried1[/MENTION] Yeah looks like it :(

[MENTION=8730847]amansehdav[/MENTION] I have turned the P2 subforum upside down and I already tried this - restore a working S233 TWRP backup, flash S048 through fastboot, and upgrade with the OTAs till S251. No dice. Wifi and Bluetooth came back with that process, but the stock firmware would not see the SIM.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TCUofficial:
Hey all, I recently installed AquariOS onto my device, and now I don't seem to have unlimited photo storage. Help with this would be appreciated, thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] ilal2ielli:
Sounds like you should post in the AquariOS G+ page or their ROM thread to get someone from AquariOS dev team to look into it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
How did you check? Does Google Photos no longer say you have unlimited free storage until a specific date? A screenshot would help.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] simplepinoi177:
...my experience doesn't have any experience to do with ROMs (I'm on stock), but I've had experience that, for whatever reason, my pictures were being backed up to my Google Photos (unlimited)

AND

my Google Drive (15GB freely offered)! So, as my phone would "free up space" and delete my pictures after saving them to my Google Photos account, my Google Drive would fill up to no space because they weren't doing the same!

My Google Drive is set up to have my Google Photos included as a folder. I think somewhere along the way it got mixed up. In the end, I was able to either 1) move the pictures to Google Photos folder and it freed up space or 2) copy the photos to my computer, delete them from the Google Drive, extract and put them unto my phone, and have Google Photos app re-upload them.

It's most likely you (OP) are having a problem with the ROM, but I just wanted to give my experience just in case you or someone else runs into the same issue as me...

note: this was back on Oreo 8.1 Feb update patch. All other info in my sig...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gregory1824:
Anyone else having issues with Poweramp that's running Oreo???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] server5:
haven't upgraded yet but Did you email the developer? They are pretty quick. Asks If he has a beta Apk. Best music player hands down. Would be a shame if there were issues
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gregory1824:
I'm a beta tester for it and I did post a comment, haven't heard anything back yet from anyone...I don't have anything out of the ordinary installed that could be causing any issues, I'm about to play around with it a little bit more
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] server5:
I know that oreo had a huge Bluetooth codec upgrade. Wondering if that has anything to do with it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gregory1824:
i can't get past clicking on the app icon, it just goes to a black screen
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] server5:
If no one responds before I upgrade to oreo I'll check back with you soon enough.

Till then hit the dev team and post it here
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] gregory1824:
will do and thanks...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] icarusnow:
yes for days since oreo

go to power amps website forum, and see there are several alpha builds some work some don't.

http://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/11179-poweramp-not-working-on-s8note8-oreo/

im on v3 alpha 703 beta build.

the crazy thing is you need to force stop on app then clear cache on app the close it then open poweramp again. then it works. ONLY UNTIL YOU CLOSE IT DOWN AGAIN. restart device do same steps and it will stay working. THEY ARE WORKING on the soon to be released beta not alpha version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] icarusnow:
Any further news or workarounds would be great. https://media.giphy.com/media/eX4TDuw5z4PrW/giphy.gif
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] server5:
Try 7.04 alpha
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Deleted member 7436581:
So to be clear, these issues are only presented in those phones on Oreo?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] server5:
That's affirmative
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Deleted member 7436581:
It's late and my mind isn't working 100%. I also meant to add that is this issue only affecting those using alpha/beta versions of PA on Oreo? I've been using the regular paid version and I'm wondering if I'll start seeing issues when I finally (who knows when) I get my Oreo update on my tmo variant. Also interested in the upgraded BT codecs on Oreo. Never really looked into that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] aydin_taysi:
i am running it on n950f with oreo. it has no issues and working fine on me (i am licenced user). only sometimes, players notification area not responding (and texts all white) but other all functions (player, lockscreen panel, bluetooth metadata streaming to galaxy gear etc..) working well, not any laggs. (not beta or alpha, using official play version)

if you have some issues, clear all application data and reinstall it. the best player in google play..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] icarusnow:
tried for 7 days, done. no solution, and i use to work under samsung as well.

---------- Post added at 09:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 AM ----------

unlocked variants not affected.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] filounoir:
Iam also on N950F with new Oreo update and using playstore version 2.0.10-build-588-play and working fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] teepea81:
I was having the same problems and I deleted then cleaned the cache
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kxdaorbit:
Using on N950F UK XEU, Oreo.

Alpha 704 full version no probs, still best music player around, bar none.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] icarusnow:
588 doesnt have hi res visual graphics player like v3 alpha 704 or 703 respectively
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] donsmith1964:
The developer is promising a new beta in April. But it has been a long time since he actually put out a build. Keep tabs on his forum for an update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
now it's said may or june.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] stormy_ugur:
i bought poweramp and it working great on oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rawintellect:
Install Alpha 704. Clear cache. Problem solved.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
youre probably not using the beta version

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

you have to clear it each time you reopen it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rawintellect:
Incorrect sir. Uninstall your current version. Reboot. Install Alpha 704. Clear cache. It works all the time for me. I do NOT have to clear cache each time I open it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
sorry to hear that. after reboot you will have to do it again. ive tried all alpha versions
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rawintellect:
Again, incorrect sir. I've rebooted often. I see I'll have to make a youtube video. I'll be right back.

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

Here is PowerAmp before the reboot.

[YOUTUBE]lLpRs7VlkZU[/YOUTUBE]

And after the reboot. Working just fine..

[YOUTUBE]rBVqGAobQdU[/YOUTUBE]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
so you have to clear cache after restart?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rawintellect:
Nope. I cleared it ONCE. When I installed Alpha 704. You DO have to uninstall your current version though. Then reboot. Then clear the cache. Once. That is exactly what I did. PowerAmp works all the time for me. I do NOT have to clear the cache each time I open the app. Even after a reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
on 7.1.1 nougat it was flawless no cache clearing, so that's why the developer is running behind because of oreo causing issues. go to the forum and see the chaos thats going on. even others starting to advertise other players there which is insane.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rawintellect:
I'm running Oreo sir.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
ok im on alpha 703 licensed, so simply opt out of beta and install 704 apk?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rawintellect:
Here is a screenshot of my OS version 8.0
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rawintellect:
Completely uninstall 703.

Reboot.

Install 704

Reboot.

Clear cache.

Done.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
are you running v2 704 or version 3 704 poweramp
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rawintellect:
V3.

A side note: I WAS able to reproduce the screen freeze when I jumped right into the app just now right after a reboot. Then? I just rebooted. Then waited about 30 secs. And all was well again. No cache reset. I'm thinking you're getting into the app too soon. It's an alpha build so you have to expect a few bugs. Let it settle.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
all good now. :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rawintellect:
Very cool. Now just remember...when you reboot...give it a little time. I'm assuming when Max coded 704 v3 he has some tweaking to do with the cache after a reboot. If you wait 30 secs it's rock solid each time. I've been rebooting it each time all while I've been talking to you and with the exception of the one time I jumped right into the app it did not freeze.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] :
yes there's been repetitive notifications from crash failures from the app, and apparently, there's a time out delay yet to be adjusted in Max's next source code as it relates to OREO.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] wutangkillabee:
Have 2 agree 704 I dont need 2 clear cache everytime either

[General Questions and Answers] agenda21:
I have a device that uses Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4. Until recently the Nextdoor app (it's like a neighborhood type app) worked well, but recently it started crashing. I found out that the version I have 1.100 is actually very old and they stopped updating it for ICS. I e-mailed them and asked for the last apk to work with Android 4.0.4 and they told me that they only support 5.0+ now. I'm not sure if that's just the company line or it's possible to use an older version of the Nextdoor app on ICS.

Is anyone able to login and use Nextdoor on ICS? Also what apk sites are safe? The only apk sites with the old versions of Nextdoor that may work look sketchy to me. Isn't there an authoritative place to download old apk files or at least get their checksums?

Sorry if this isn't the right place to post I didn't know where to put it.

All,

I've been a member of this forum for a few months now and am sincerely grateful for all the useful advice and help I have received. My own posting count is relatively low because I only try to help if I have something useful to say.

The one overriding post I tend to see these days is the idiot who likes bash the other users for not reading threads, doing searches etc. Now I actually have a full time job in the I.T industry, am pretty much computer savvy and enjoy tinkering with my phone when time allows. It seems to me some of the members here have far much too time on their hands and spend it endlessly trawling to give someone a mauling.

I wonder how many useful posts these people ever actually put in to the forum.

Now I agree that if you have the time to read all the relevant threads, do the searches etc you have a good chance of finding an answer. But there comes a time when some of these posts are just not feasible anymore. Dutty's rom post for 6.1 is a major epic these days and I for one don't have the time or inclination to scroll through all this especially when a whole load of it is just crap from people increasing their post count.

So my point is let people ask, especially the n00bs who probably don't realise the lambasting they're going to get. If you know the answer then reply, if you don't then shut up. That way the posts will get shorter and the idiots will get bored quicker.

Well said. This is the worst forum I've ever come across for noob bashing. It's a shame because there are a lot of helpful people here.

Well put j1ngles!!! I never had this newbie bashing in the Wizard forum, which I joined almost 2 years ago.

This is the worst forum for n00b bashing this side of the whirlpool galaxy!!!

I agree 110%. If people ask "stupid" questions and someone feels obliged to assist, then by all means do so or shut up.

I have helped n00bs by providing certain cabs etc and then I have been criticised!!!

Good point here - I do believe that one of the mods has actually issued a warning against n00b bashing, so that's a step in the right direction.

Totally agree with you.

The search function is useful, but if you are new how are you supposed to know the exact techie term to make the search results useful?! Who knows how many budding chefs etc we are turning away becuz someone jumps on their back within 2 minutes giving them a hard time?

You learn, search terms, how to search and even better (and something difficult for me) patience... after all if you are going to spend the money on a serious piece of equipment (even if you get it as part of a deal with a phone company you brick it you will have to pay) you better learn properly how to do whatever it is you want to do... I am about as far from computer savvy as you can get but I have learned what terms to use in a search, how to use the search and even better how to make notes on what I read and where I get up to so I can refer to a thread and pick up where I left off... I too dont have much time (especially lately) but I still take my time and read, search etc before asking the SAME question for the 2359834098345054390843986th time... on the same page...
[General Topics] jimflp:

I have +170 posts and still feel like a noob. if search does not give me the answer i am looking for after 5 attempts (or 30 minutes of crawling through plenty of mails) i do ask help. And i also got replies not being helpfull.

This is not about noob bashing
[General Topics] ghostie:
I have done the same as have many people i'm sure. The question is, if someone askes something that you know the answer to (either from working it out, or reading up) do you give them the answer and point out where you got it from, or do you hold back?

We need to teach people to learn by encouragement, not by attitude.
[General Topics] Confused Stu:
I've always favoured giving someone the link, while telling them they could (and should) have searched for it themselves. I also agree with some flaming on obvious or very frequent questions - provided the link is there and the flaming is amusing and light-hearted.

Just my opinion. :)
[General Topics] sabestian:
I made a similar point a few months back. Another problem is that noobies don't always know what to search for...Because they are noobies...
[General Topics] ionutz6:
I couldnt agree more with this. I really dont see why an experienced senior member, for example, has to flame a noobie for asking a silly easy question. Either you have a few words to say and shread some light into matter, or just skip the thread, go read something else. I know some of them are ignorant, but the best treatment is to ignore questions like that. This way they will have to search for themselves, if they get no answer.

But to tell them: read wiki, search, use google is simply too useless, will not help anybody.
[General Topics] grandpareza:
I understand both sides, but you have to see that once you see a trillion questions asking the same thing, then you get a little frustrated.

I dont think XDA is a service. XDA is a community where people have to do their part, and if you dont do your part, then your not contributing to the community. And yes, searching is contribution. You are gorging yourself in PDA knoweldge and then could help someone else.

However, if you feel that people here at XDA are here to help you becuase this is their job, then your wrong. I'm not saying you, or anyone else does feel this way, but my point is that XDA is not a service, its a community.

I've found the dutty thread to be useless now because of so many questions asking the same thing. There is an onslaught of many questions that were already answered and its hard to find the specific problem your having. I still LOOK, and I still search...and I find the answer.

Though I do agree, being a ***** never did anything for anyone. So the best anyone can do is point them in the right direction until they get it themselves.
[General Topics] vasil:
If everyone post any question they want to ask without searching, we'll probably end up having 25k pages in every thread. The whole point of searching is to keep forums tidy, so that information can be found faster.

Have you ever tried to find some specific thingsin big DUMP??? (Not a rom dump:))
[General Topics] axonn:
Very True

I agree with the starter of the topic. So you say using search keeps the Forum tidy. I don't agree. The Forum is already full of huge topics and nobody has to have the patience to go through them. HOWEVER, I personally SEARCHED A LOT for some stuff and I usually FOUND what I was looking for. So I admit that it's ok to search! ::- ). But a bit more tolerance for those who don't have this time would be great.

Maybe I just bought a phone and I'm uber-enthusiastic about it and don't want to search 2 days for something. Common, a bit of understanding never killed anybody ::- ). And if there are a lot of topics about a certain problem, they'll show up faster in search, so it's ok. Common, a bit more text never killed a database.
[General Topics] Gustopher:
This is a fair point and I would agree - generally speaking a policy of ignore it and move on is best.

However, I have seen instances of people who ought to know better blundering into a thread and asking a question to which they would get an answer if they could just be bothered to look a handful of posts further up.

Not all newcomers are sweet innocents and not all stupid questions are asked by newcomers.

My personal annoyance list is topped by those that ask a tough or poorly defined question and then start stamping their tiny feet if they don't get an answer back within seconds of posting - some people here seem to think this is a formal support forum for 'XDA products', (whatever those might be) and so start *****ing about bugs, lack of response, etc.
[General Topics] NotATreoFan:
Did you ever stop to think that all the people with your point of view are the reason for the search function not being as productive as other sites? When someone doesn't search and just creates another redundant thread, they are directly responsible for polluting the search results.

As I have said before, I will no longer be bashing n00bs who fail to search before posting. Instead, I will transpose their question into Google, and reply back with a link to the search result they need to read. There is one exception to this; people who create 2 or more new threads (within 24 hours) asking the exact same question. That is just rude.
[General Topics] XtreMe_G:
if you have such a problem about ppl bashing the noob, then you should be helping the noobs themselves, instead of complaining here. There are plenty you can do to help noobies, first of course to directly answer their questions, second help add more articles to the wiki so the noobs are less inclined to ask a question in the first place. your complaining here, is as helpful and the noob bashing threads.

If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem.
