[Samsung Gear S2] stefanospizzica:
Hi

I have a Gear S2 sport watch (not 3G) and as S7 edge phone paired with it, both upgraded to the last available version.

I have not understood how to have the training path map synced with Samsung Health app (of course without having with me the phone during the run).

Steps, distance, speed and hearth rate are correctly synced, but I cannot see the map.

Is there a particular reaons for this or is this an expected behaviour? I thought S2 sport had a GPS module inside. How it measure the speed during running?

Thanks for any possible suggestion.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] micko_servo:
Hi there.

After updating to latest Stable Global ROM, I have no voice on my google Assistant. This happened in my mi max 1, but that was rooted, and I fixed it using Build Prop editor. This phone is currently not rooted, and was wondering if there was a solution.

And to add, I have no plans on rooting this phone any time soon.

thanks.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] gigab4yt:
Will Honor 9 get Oreo 8.1 in near future? Does anybody know?

Also second question, is it possible that we will get next Android P?

Thanks for answers!
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] NewRaven:
Considering how many Honor/Huawei phones still got the Oreo update, I guess there is actually a fair chance we will get Android P. As for Oreo 8.1 ... well, it was already released for a while when we got 8.0 and as far as I know, the next "big" update with face unlock is still based on 8.0 so I don't think we will be getting 8.1 in the "near future"
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] JBolho:
Latest EMUI8 B365 with May Security Patch is still Android 8.0.0

Updating to 8.1 requires a kernel update as well from what i could understand (Honor View 10 as source code for the 8.0 and 8.1 firmwares separately, and the difference is the Linux Kernel version), so the update will depend on their will to make that update or just wait for Android P release and update directly to that one (My bet would be that they will leave it at 8.0.0 and update directly to P by the end of the year or so)
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] ambitiousButRubbish:
Has anyone tried booting a plain AOSP treble 8.1 ROM on the H9 yet, was considering it the other day, but not sure if its worth the soft brick mess...
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] dwhite1972:
likely we will get some sort of idea after face lock gets to every device
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Double Chin Bigot:
With Huawei/Honor it's easy to figure it out. Flagship devices get 2 major updates, and midange devices one. So we will definitely get P. Maybe with Treble devices they will increase it to 3 and 2 updates. As for 8.1, it's the same story as 7, they went with devices on 7.0 straight to 8.0

[Huawei Watch 2] Bigsam411:
So a few weeks ago I flashed the Android P preview on my Bluetooth Hwatch 2. All was well until yesterday I decided to check out some other roms. It was late and I should not have done this but I got into twrp and then decided I wanted to fall asleep. I decided to reboot out of TWRP assuming it would boot back into the watch (I had not deleted anything to my knowledge). Now it is stuck on the Huawei logo. When I hold down both buttons I get "Device software cannot be checked for corruption" and it lets me pause the boot for a moment but then it goes back to the Huawei logo. Plugging it in does not get me fastboot or ADB from my PC and I cannot seem to turn it off.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Huawei Watch 2] borijess:
Same here. Stuck on Huawei logo. Did you fix yours?
[Huawei Watch 2] Bigsam411:
I did not. I gave up on it and then had to go out of town on a business trip. I switched back to my Gear fit 2 for now. If someone has a fix I will gladly do it though.
[Huawei Watch 2] gazza1888:
Hi, I did the same thing with my watch and thought I had broke it beyond repair, I flashed the Bluetooth ROM on the 4g model and had the exact same problem. I flashed the boot.img again and done a factory reset. Worked for me so I would advise giving it a try.
[Huawei Watch 2] ryan77627:
Yeah, once you unlock your bootloader I dont know of anyway to access recovery or fastboot unless over adb, it's because of the damn prompt huawei put in to pause the boot. I waish they did waht lg did with the g watch (Just shows a little unlocked lock, no stupid prompt) So if you brick the watch like that, I doubt they'll honor the warranty either. (Especially if they find TWRP)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ptolomeo:
I've been using my Note8 for 5 months already.

I miss many functionalities I would have if I could root the Note8, but I am reluctant as I know Samsung Pay will not work never again on this terminal.

The truth is that I would root it but here are the pros/cons:

Pros:

CPU downgrade (more battery juice)

Add apps to the ultra-power save mode (I definitely would use this mode more)

Get rid of bloatware (but on the other hand now I can just deactivate it)

Could use Titanium Backup to backup my apps

Cons:

Cannot use Samsung Pay never again

Would loose the stability/security of the stock ROM.

In fact, the banks I work with use Android Pay (and not Samsung Pay).

The main department store in Spain (El Corte Inglés) support Samsung Pay, but there is a silly issue that makes me not to use it. To clear the parking ticket you can do it directly with the 'old card', whereas if you pay with Samsung Pay in the store, after you have to go to customer service, wait the queue and have your parking ticket cleared. It's just silly and makes me not to use Android Pay in this store.

So, would you root your device or keep it stock?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Iradj:
So I still didnt root my phone too mainly because Samsung Pay. In Germany there is also no banks that supports it (Apple and Google Pay are also not out) but I have after 7 months found a swiss bank that supports it and yet i have to test it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] blinkt88:
Cons:

I never use Samsung Pay so for me there is no problem

About stability/security yes you need be more careful about security but if you use phone as normal person and not open thing which you dont know what is it you not have any issue btw you can flash custom romalmost all devs update his custom roms with latest security patches and firmwares

So i dont see reason why not root i root my phone week ago now i searching for good Oreo custom rom

About Pros:

You can do many godo thinks with root special if you have twrp you can flash good custom roms, mods etc.. i root my phone only for Zero Camera Mod in future i will flash custom rom too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] slicetwo:
I'm came from a rooted Moto X Pure and loved all the stuff root gave me. When I got the Note 8, I decided not to root it and see how it goes. So far, I see no real reason to root at this point. Yeah, I'd love to be able to backup via TiBu, along with freezing or uninstalling apps, but overall, I see no real other benefit. The battery and speed of the Note is so good that I don't really worry about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
I don't use any NFC pay services so I could care less about Samsung Pay. Every Android I've had was rooted. I purchased Exynos overseas instead Snapdragon domestically with the intent to root. When I first got my Note 8 in Aug/Sep I tried to see how long I could go without rooting. I didn't even make it a full 2 days.

Back in day I rooted mainly for themeing & ad blocking, in the past years themeing is not even on my list for reason to root. With the Note 8 root is not even needed for themeing.

I root to enable features that can't be on a stock phone, use apps that require root, debloat/disable/uninstall anything without needing an additional app, able to use TiBu like I've always have but not only that, the ability to backup things other than apps. Snapdragon does have root but it's not just root that I want, custom recovery/TWRP is a must for me too. Most of the time, thanks to our devs, performance is also improved.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] eraursls1984:
I vote root. Mainly for Ti backup, debloating, and most importantly Xposed (disappointed when I found out it doesn't work yet). I haven't done much debloating since there isn't a nice list like every other phone I've ever had.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pbedard:
You gotta fund out what bootloader your on cause Samsung now blocked root.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] foo:
I don't see any point in rooting the Note 8. I'm happy with the battery life so no need to tweak anything here. I don't need low power mode or apps that can run in this mode. Bloatware is not an issue for me, everything I don't want is deactivated and memory is not really an issue for me either.

My Note 8 is a great tool and it just works fine. I would not risk that by using other ROMs etc, because I don't see a point here either. So I won't root it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
I rooted my devices since the S3, but now, many many things that only root could give you control over in the past, now can be done with stock or via apps, the pros of rooting were far more desirable that the cons, but now, things are different, samsung pay is active in my country and I find it very useful, what I painly miss is, Viper4A, only, but, as I use it only at home with a full size sound system, I use my note 4 for listening music, so, I will not root my note 8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Conito11:
The only reason to root my phone could be the zero camera mod. That's all... completely unnecessary in this phone. Think about it (at least in my case) : i installed some fancy apps, and since of them was very cool, but 2 o 3 weeks later it just become in another unnecessary gadget. Custom roms are that... in my humble opinion. Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Cristiano Matos:
I just can't see a reason to root. Note offers a lot of functionalities that, in the past, are reached by some stock roms. In term of battery I agree that stock rom could be better. Loosing Knox and Samsung pay is not a clever decision. Imagine a scenario involving warranty.

Note is a portable PC and have everything in my opinion
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] eraursls1984:
Can you freeze and defrost bloat?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Baenwort:
For me the only reason to root is to have a local firewall while VPNing. The only effective noroot firewalls use the VPN service and if you do that you can not simultaneously block while also connecting to a VPN service to secure DNS or access remote network resources that are not internet exposed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iceepyon:
Unless you are a software developer there is no need to root an modern android device these days. As most android OEMs are doing a good job refining android for their respective devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] wase4711:
I've rooted the 25 or so Android phones I have had over the years, but, this is the first Android phone I have not rooted; I couldn't care less about samsung pay, or Knox, or warranty, since warranty has NEVER been an issue for me, even on rooted phones.

But, with this Snapdragon version, there aren't really any custom roms to flash, or many mods that require root, and, the phone is fast as hell with the stock rom, so, as long as I can install themes to change the look, I have zero desire to root this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] eraursls1984:
Or unless no phone offers the features that you need.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Eudeferrer:
Not so my friend. Some of us can't stand the white ****ty-looking icons and letters on the top bar, like battery, date etc.. they are dull and boring. Rooting is about the only way to change that at this time. Having access to 3minittbattery or other advanced ways to change/theme Android is key even if you are not a developer. Also, I have yet to find a decent backup utility like Titanium in any OEM. Most backup apps will only back up your Apks but no data unless you have root. So when you change phones, you loose all/most data. It's hard to believe that after 10 years, Android still cannot backup data in all your apps without root. For someone like me who likes to have the latest phones, it means at least twice a year you loose all data unless you have root. When you pay close to 1K for a phone, you expect to be able to have it your way. Otherwise, why not just follow the i-sheep where everything in the ecosystem is already pre-done for you? This is why many of us root. We don't want to be part of the i-sheep family.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] m_carleone82:
Sinxe note 2 i was a rooter in all series.. for the first time i kept a phone as stock.

Well knox or secure folder.. is the best reason to have this phone. And i am using it for privacy things.. with double accounts.. u can have a hidden whatsapp with different number in secure folder... This was important for me.

Samsung pay! Another fact.

Disabling bloatwares are possible wo root.

I dont need any kernel or performance tweak. Samsung sid fine...

Even i am not a fan of theming. With Nova i am really satisfied..

For camera tweak. I downloaded apk pixel 2 exynos modify from xda.. which does better job then stock..

With adblock issues lucky patcher is still good wo root..

Titanium backup?? I let google to upload everything.. so data backup no more need on my sd..

Also using a firmware that is so stable is another benefit. There is no crash. No headache. Now i see not complicating things is better..

Besides i have nexus with root.. and for my case.. rooting note 8 is not huge benefit for me...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] eraursls1984:
Except Google does a ****ty job of backing up and restoring. Also, I don't just use Ti backup when setting up a new phone, I use it to backup my most used apps before updating them. Half the time updates brings on issues, removes features, or just break the app all together.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] maxilick:
Meh!! I'm over tinkering with phones. Been doing it for many years. At the end of the day they still take and make calls , send and receive mms sms emails,and apps for whatever I want to do. These days most modern phones pack enough grunt , I don't find a need to modify. The fun in it for me has become same old, same old. I do however come back here in hope that some one has pulled a rabbit out of the hat with something new and magical. There's more fun things for me to do like travel the globe.

For the young ones it still will be new and exciting, so keep having fun!

ADB Backup

https://9to5google.com/2017/11/04/how-to-backup-restore-android-device-data-android-basics/

Google search link with 1.590.000 hits :D

My command line is:

adb backup -apk -shared -all -system -f C:/user/Pixel2XL/adb_backup/mmddyy.ab

This backs up all user apps and data, all system apps and data, and shared storage (internal SD card)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] simplepinoi177:
Actually, you might want to include

-obb -keyvalue

*if you want to backup your games and any "apps that perform key/value backups"

What a great idea [MENTION=4403217]Pkt_Lnt[/MENTION]! I wish I realized this when I was planning to root and wanted to backup as best I could...

I'm purely just wondering, why include "-apk -shared" & "-system" when you have an option of "-all"? And isn't including "-f" meant to backup a specific file?

P.S. nevermind (on the -all & -system), after reading the help on the command, -all doesn't cover system apps...

Also, in terms of restoring.... would this method depend on root access for full restoration? does this method even backup settings and "personalizations" without root access (at least when backing up)?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Pkt_Lnt:
1 - I was trying to teach the poster above to fish, not trying to do the fishing for him. That said, I'm not a gamer, that "-obb" is not relevant to me. ;)

2 - backup -f file Write an archive of the device's data to file.

This Reference

I do not see your "-keyvalue" in that ADB Command Reference doc, you might want to verify that before using it.

This is my actual command line from today. I'm on Linux, so I tried to make this easier for the Win crowd, knowing the tilde_backslash_path would throw 99% of those who might read this for a loop! :)

nerd@kestrel ~ $ adb backup -apk -shared -all -system -f ~/Pixel2XL_adb_backup/backup05172018.ab

3 - ADB commands to not require root. Restore has always worked for me, and as you might guess, I have many "adb grant permissions" in use. :good:

For the rest of your questions, sorry I don't have time to do that research for you. All I use is the This Reference above, if that does not provide what you are asking, try this.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] simplepinoi177:
Cool...thanks for answering what you could...I was merely curious; I didn't mean/intend/imply that you do the research for me or anything. Yea, I know absolutely nothing about Linux and it's environment; so I/we appreciate you converting it to the "windows crowd" as well as "spelling it out" for me in the format you wrote it all out in your post. I, myself, have root and use TWRP for the backups...I was just trying to expand the knowledge...

Thanks again!

UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER​

WARNING: UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY.PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.

NOTE: Unlocking the bootloader will Wipe/ factory reset your device, and will delete all personal data from your device such as apps, photos, messages, and settings.

Prepare Your Moto G6/G6+ for Bootloader Unlock

Your device must be charged up to 70% before going completely through the process mentioned below.
Make sure that you have installed proper device drivers on your computer.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Make sure to take a backup of your entire device data.

Download the Android SDK OR Download the Minimal ADB and Fastboot

Install the latest Motorola USB Drivers on your desktop. Download here.

Go To Settings -> Dev Settings, And Select "Allow OEM Unlock"

Put your device in fastboot mode (power off, then press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously).

Open Command Prompt on androidsdk/platform-tools/ (Hold Shift and right click and press open command window here)

If you have downloaded Minimal ADB and Fastboot Go to C://Program Files/Minimal ADB and Fastboot and open Command Prompt from there.

Connect your Phone to PC

Type this in the CMD prompt window - fastboot oem get_unlock_data

You will get a return string. Copy it. [Right Click-Mark- Mark the text by pressing the shift key-Now press Ctrl+C]

Paste all the lines together in a notepad. Remove the empty spaces.

Now go to the Motorola Site.Sign in using your Google account or Motorola ID. Scroll down the page and paste the copied string in the field at step #6. Then click on ‘Can my device be unlocked?’, after which a "REQUEST UNLOCK KEY" button will appear at the bottom of page.

To get your unlock key, select the ‘I Agree’ option. Note: You will receive an email with your Unlock Key at the email address you used to log in there.

Important – Copy the 20-character key that Motorola sent you via email. Make sure your device is connected.

Then in CMD type: fastboot devices (To check your device is connected)

Then type: fastboot oem unlock UNIQUE_KEY

NOTE: In above command, replace the word ‘UNIQUE_KEY’ with the unlock code that you got via email. Then hit enter and the unlocking process should begin. Wait for a while and soon you’ll see ‘Bootloader Unlocked’ warning on your Moto G6/G6+.

To relock the bootloader:

before re-locking the bootloader, you must have reinstalled the official firmware

Go to Fastboot and give the command fastboot oem lock
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] manos78:
Thank you! Great guide. :highfive:

But please,

Advise that prior to relock the bootloader the stock firmware needs to be restored. This is important if you replaced the recovery (with TWRP), installed a custom kernel, rooted with MagiskSU (as it replaces the RAMDISK of the kernel), or replaced the bootimage (for disable the unlock message).

In fact, prior to relock is good to: wipe all data, restore all stock partitions, and then (and only then) relock the bootloader.

I hope this helps!

Regards.
