[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] dbkarthikbabu:
I used the following 3 Oreo ROMs

1. RR

2. Havoc (Initial Built)

3. DU

All the above ROMs are equally good. Currently using DU latest build.

Initially installed RR ROM and used more than a month since 20/3/2018. I don't face any issue with RR. Later I jumped into Havoc ROM on 26/4/2018 due to not received any updates on RR. But I faced camera focus issue in Havoc ROM. I am unable to use camera due to this. Hence I jumped into DU ROM from today.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] vancrash:
Thank you, I'll try this DU.

Any others suggestions from other people?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] jacoblong09:
The new Android Oreo OTA firmware looks more like the galaxy S8 theme, without any modding needed, apart from installing the zip file!

the zip file is found on the below website

[Must be on baseband ending in BRB5, check out my other post for instructions how to get to that version...]

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/BGy7/gKs4xzhRE/OTA/Oreo/SS-G891AUCU2BRB5-to-U2CRC7-UP.zip

Attatched below are pictures of the new Oreo update, which I installed on my S7 Active, and by the way, the update has not crashed at all. [It did crash once, but that was due to me using the phone in direct sunlight, which may have caused it to overheat, but thats probably a good thing, that it didn't overheat till death]

i have gone into the home screen settings, and disabled the apps button in the bottom right, so i can swipe to view my apps. by default , there are no s8 wallpapers, but i will include the wallpaper i used below. enjoy!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] jacoblong09:
heres the wallpapers. think i ran out of attachments up there:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] jacoblong09:
i understand the photo says galaxy s7 under phone name. this is not officially released yet, so for some odd reason, the default name is galaxy s7 rather than galaxy s7 active.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] u07av8:
Battery Life & Stability?

As mentioned above, how's the battery life and stability so far? I haven't got my device rooted or anything, how would I go about updating to OREO, should Iflash the file through ODIN? Do I need to be on a specific version of Nougat before upgrading?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] CesarLucker:
Before upgrading you need the build number G891AUCU2BRB5, then you have to flash the Oreo rom using stock recovery and adb sideload.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] jackprieto:
How well does it run on your phone?

I'd like to know about performance issues with Oreo on the S7 active. There is an article that says there's a noticeable slowdown and some glitches with the camera. Are these isolated glitches or does anyone upgrading to Oreo find the same thing?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Guides, News, & Discussio] supertac:
hey... with the "swipe to unlock" on oreo does it still appear after you set a timer too keep your phone unlocked during activity?

one og my gripes with Nogat is the swipe to unlock never goes away....
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] br4u2:
any way to root mate 9 without unlocking the bootloader ???

if its required, then how to unlock ???
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] James_Watson:
Unlocking Bootloader is the first thing Huawei users need to perform before trying to root.

About a week ago, we could obtain a 16-digit bootloader unlock code from Huawei official website.

https://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/unlock/index

But the official web page seems to be unavailable for maintenance recently.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ASMstudent:
It's for maintenance, it's for good. Huawei announced that they will no longer provide boatloader unlock to any of their devices. So, until there's a hack that can be done, no root is possible at all.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] shogun06:
Interesting. The page to request an unlock code seems to exist (From emui.huawei.com, there is a link to UNLOCK in the main menu), which takes you to a login page. Unfortunately, when I attempt to register, the site asks for an unlock code that it then never sends. Has anyone had experience with this? I'm really interested in unlocking my device so that I can repair the widget error that afflicts EMUI 8.0.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ASMstudent:
Huawei has announced that it will no longer provide boatloader unlock method starting from the end of last month. I don't think the page is down for maintenance, it's down for good.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] shogun06:
This is true, but if you have an older device, you can still get a bootloader unlock code until the end of the month (July 29). I just registered with Huawei yesterday and received a code.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Wam7:
It can be like going through a minefield to actually get hold of authentic Samsung batteries due to the plethora of fakes being sold and passed off as "Genuine Original....". They look almost identical and some even come in quasi-retail packing.

I actually found two places that definitely do the authentic batteries.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Official...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-...207189?hash=item541a763495:g:DjoAAOSwPhdVF-FM
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Big Elf:
How can you tell? The images of the one in your first link show a fake as the QR code doesn't include the genuine batch number.

While I can't confirm it's still the case I bought 3 genuine batteries from this seller. AT the time he was selling them with the official charger.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Original...664929&hash=item419bb7e44c:g:--4AAOSw0JpV4JVL

The serial number and batch numbers checked out OK and I measured the capacity of each of them as being around the 3220mAh of a genuine battery.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Wam7:
Well I purchased the first one and it looked authentic, came in the plastic hard case, inside the box which many fake don't do. How did you test the mAH and where should the QR code take you?

I've just purchased one in the second link to compare. The one in your link is a little bit more expensive so I will wait and see how the second one fairs as my battery life still is not great.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Wam7:
I've attached pictures of the 1st one, with serial number and QR code.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Wam7:
I also did a scan of the first one with the QR code and you seem to be mistaken when you say the serial number does not match up. The serial number I got was:

GH43-04309A + AA1HA18PS

Which matches the serial number on the battery shown in the picture.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Big Elf:
Apologies. I've just scanned the QR code of the battery in your post and it does have the additional 5 digit serial number included. The one in the image from eBay indicated a fake.

The one I scanned from eBay didn't included the last 5 digits.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Wam7:
No problem, I appreciate the reply. How did you check the mAh of your battery?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Big Elf:
I use a simple USB Meter although they're cheaper direct from China. I have a few so I've been able to calibrate them by comparing results from discharging and charging the same battery. I've only had one faulty meter so far.

If I use the official Samsung Charger Case then the capacity measures very close to the 3220mAh claimed, usually +-20mAh. If I charge the battery in the phone then the capacity is about 6% less than that shown by charging in the Charge Case.

I've bought around 30 Samsung branded batteries from Amazon, eBay and Samsung UK as well as a couple of other places I won't mention as they should know better and may have been one-offs. 11 of them were genuine, the fakes were either returned for a refund or refunded without hassle once I started quoting the measured capacities.

The fakes generally measure between 1900mAh to 2300mAh and I so far I've been able to identify the them in advance by reading the QR code. If the code doesn't consist of the Product reference+batch number+serial number e.g. GH43-04309A+AA1H119yS+00184 then it inevitably follows (always so far) that they won't have anything close to full capacity. Some of the fakes are starting to come close to the originals in terms of printed font, font colour and even having most of the QR code but none so far have included the final 5 digits which are actually the serial number of the batch. The batch number is unusually printed on the battery as the S/N and it can be the case that 2 genuine batteries have the same S/N printed on them but also have the additional unique 5 digit serial number within the QR code. I got lucky one day and actually spoke to a Samsung techhie who didn't follow the company line that any batteries not bought direct from Samsung were automatically fakes and gave me more information on how to identify them.

I have 3 x N910Fs which is one of the reasons why a have a large stock of batteries (I also have Anker and RAVPower).
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] srbutt:
whats the best recommended battery brand giving the exact 3220 capacity? pls. share the link for purchase.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Big Elf:
Both Anker and RAVPower have the quoted capacity. However in my experience (and Anker have admitted this) they had a bad batch which although having the full capacity deteriorated rapidly. After saying that they provided hassle free support and refunded the cost of the 2 batteries of mine that were affected. Additionally I've had an Anker battery that was either old stock and/or stored badly which only had around 3000mAh capacity from new, that was also refunded.

I've not had any problems as yet with the RAVPower batteries but I've only had them for around 8 months.

Both Anker and RAVPower have the NFC antenna fitted (some other manufacturers don't fit them).

I've not posted links to the above as I'm in the UK but they can be found on Amazon.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Wam7:
Thanks for that. I had one delivered today from Amazon. I also ordered another battery, this time from the 2nd link I posted. Once I work out how use the mAh checker I will post back with my results.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Big Elf:
I can't remember what instructions you get with the meter but to quickly reset the accumulated mAh press and hold the tiny button for a couple of seconds until it zero's.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] dcavni:
[MENTION=341022]Wam7[/MENTION]: Is the second battery from your link authentic, works good?

I bought a battery that should be genuine two week's ago in my country (Slovenia), the QR code reads: "GH43-04309A AA1K328NS 53490" but the battery is ordinary crap. Yesterday i had to charge it two times. It also weights only 48 grams (genuine should be arround 53 grams).
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] pan_zhengwei:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-...207189?hash=item541a763495:g:DjoAAOSwPhdVF-FM

[MENTION=341022]Wam7[/MENTION] so the first link mention was authentic?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] coolwater22:
any links to awesome batteries on amazon and/or ebay? I ordered one about 2 months ago from a third party but it is not working properly. it overheats. its difficult finding genuine batteries for the note 4 since its a very old model but I still love it. any help, I would appreciate it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Wam7:
I would go with this one as the one in the first link I ended up sending back.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-...207189?hash=item541a763495:g:DjoAAOSwPhdVF-FM

Not many people still have 100% after selling getting 31,000 feedback. I been buying original batteries from this seller for years back to my old Galaxy S2.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] pan_zhengwei:
thanks for your quick response. will be ordering from your given link. :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] dcavni:
I also ordered from that link. I hope it will be OK, since the last battery i purchased officialy in my home country seems to be fake. It only weights 48 grams instead of 53 grams.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ascariz:
i'm lucky because i bought 2 times authentic. it's not difficult to know it's authentic or not. see included picture. fake battery mostly wont have nfc chip inside. battery with nfc have slightly protruding, fake is flat surface. u can feel with your finger. authentic have perfect font printing and easy to fit inside phone.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] bmhbmh715:
i have one i bought a 10000 mah battery before my note 4 even came ive never even used my stock batterry
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] dcavni:
I'm using the battery for a few days now, but i'm not quite satisfied with it. Maybe it takes more time to get to the full capacity? I weighted the battery and it has 50 grams (Original had 53 grams) so it cannot have such capaccity as first battery in Note 4. I still have to recharge the phone to get through day.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] coolwater22:
I just switched to tmobile and got the Redmi note 5/pro and I must say its definitely and improvement over the Samsung note 4. thanks for the recommendation [MENTION=8602663]carlos.[/MENTION] feels sturdy and its almost done charging completely and will see how long the battery lasts. im soo excited.

sorry, wrong place for this. mod delete it if you want. I don't know how to delete it hahah :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Wam7:
I don't have Note4 now but there is a chance that even the 'authentic' batteries don't offer the same charge as the original. The only way of knowing is to get a cheap battery tester to see exactly how much mAh it does.

Two 'authentic' batteries I got from very reputable sellers did not seem much better than the definite fake one that I had so I think there is more to this than meets the eye.

If you're not happy I would send it back.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Alex Atkin UK:
I don't know why people bother when Anker makes a fantastic replacement for cheaper. I gave up and got that.

The thing is, batteries age from date of manufacture and as Samsung are no longer manufacturing them they are almost guaranteed to be worse than a good third party battery now.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] dcavni:
I did not find Anker battery on Ebay anymore to buy it. Maybe i didn't look good enough.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Kinsman-UK:
Not seeing the Anker one any more in the UK either - I just ordered a RAVPower one as my battery has been draining quickly the past few days (18 month old genuine Samsung) and I need to try a new one to rule it out as the issue - failing that it'll be a factory rest. RAVPower have a good reputation, and the battery has NFC: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Battery-RAVPower-3220mAh-Replacement-T-Mobile-Black/dp/B072N5G4RB
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] raul6:
also have Ravpower battery with which I replaced a failed Anker battery which in turn replaced failed Samsung battery. Reliable, works just as well as the previous two
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] dcavni:
I'm using this battery from seller Teresa101250 on Ebay for aproximately half mont now and the phone barely lasts half day. Today i left it to discharge completly and now i recharged it shutted down and connected through USB voltage and amperage tester. Phone charged itself aprox. 1 hour and 20 minutes to 100% and took 1,318 Ah of power.

I'm gonna try one more thing. The *#0228# and resetting the battery gauge. I will know tomorrow if it helped anything. The battery dropped from 98% to 94% when i resetted gauge.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] dcavni:
After second attempt results are the same, battery only take 1,3Ah of power. Seller send me refund. I'm gonna try with RavPower.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Wam7:
Yes. I suspected mine from that seller was not giving the full ~3200mAh. In that case the conclusion is that there are no authentic Samsung batteries available. This battery came in retail packaging and the qr code on the battery worked.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Wildcard36QS:
I have a RavPower coming in today. I will let you all know how it works out.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] dcavni:
Waiting for your report.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Wildcard36QS:
Battery was at 57% out of the package (nicely packaged too, btw). Installed and charged and this is the result of that first charge. 3:19 screen on time with 13:20 total time on battery. This includes BT, Wi-Fi, and High Accuracy location on the whole time. Screen I keep around 30% as that is more than bright enough for me indoors. I also did my morning hour long commute during this using Android Auto and Waze. Much better than my failing original battery. Hoping the next charge does better, but for $16 I cannot complain. I am on the last MM security update that was available for the phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Wildcard36QS:
My second charge I had 3:15 screen on time and 31% battery left before plugging in to charge before bed. This included my commute home, but once I got home I turned off location.

I'll see how it does today, but so far so good. I'm normally only using a couple hours max a day, but I recently got this Note 4 and am purposely not charging while in the car while doing these tests. I know it will last a typical day for me though.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Gamesiarz:
I can recommend Nohon baterry from aliexpress. 60% out of a box, and sot around 5h on latest stock rom and stock kernel. It cost around 10$ with free shipping I think I will get another one soon. I think that is a good alternative for anker or ravpower
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Wildcard36QS:
That looks good except that it doesn't have NFC. I need NFC for my Google Pay that I use a lot.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] dcavni:
I'm using RavPower for 2 weeks now and it's better then "Genuine Samsung" batteries. I get through day with maybe 5 percents left.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] foneparts4u:
Hi Everyone,

The first link to the Note 4 Battery is the one which I am selling. I have started to move away from eBay as there is a lot of competition and sellers claiming their batteries are genuine but they are not. I have purchased from numerous sellers, not going to mention them and can confirm they are all fake. I have built a reputation on eBay for selling genuine batteries so if you require mobile batteries or even parts then please visit my site - foneparts4u.co.uk

Worldwide shipping available, please send an email for postage costs.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] myk.robinson:
Hello -

My Pixel 2 XL is still running stock but is rooted with Magisk. I have been looking at some custom ROMs. Stock is working fine for me, but the dorm in me REALLY wants to waste time flashing ROMs...

I was looking at the thread for AquariOS and a few others, and they each mention flashing TWRP after installing the ROM.

At present, I have the .img file for TWRP and I boot to it from my computer using fastboot. Is there a reason why ROMs installation instructions have the line to install TWRP? Is there any reason not to just fastboot to it as needed? My concern is how difficult is it to return to the factory recovery mode, and is there any downside to having TWRP on this model instead of the factory. Is it possible to return to the stock ROM and recovery after installing a custom ROM?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TheSt33v:
If you only want to use TWRP when you have a fastboot-ready PC available, there is no need to install it. The reason why that is there is because since TWRP is embedded in the kernel (not flashed to a recovery partition like older devices), it will be overwritten whenever you flash a custom rom that includes a kernel, and I'm fairly certain they all do.

Returning the stock recovery menu is as easy as flashing the stock boot.img. There are no downsides that I know of of having TWRP on your device. And yes, returning to the stock rom and recovery is as easy as fastboot flashing the factory image.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] parakleet:
I dont install it anymore.

I run rooted stock and have no need really for a nand backup.

When I need it I just fastboot it and honestly I cant recall the last time I needed to do that.

On other deivces I have it installed for ease of updates for LineageOS.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] galaxys:
My Pixel XL 2 swings both ways! I use TWRP on board and Fastboot!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] thereal_bigjake:
I run stock rooted with flash kernel. I use my Nexus 6p terminal to fastboot boot TWRP on my Pixel when flash kernel pushes an update. I don't really see any reason to run a custom rom on this device as it runs great as is and there is an app for pretty much any custom rom feature you'd want.
