[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussi] iBolski:
Glad it's working now. Were you rooted and/or modified any of the default system apps? That can cause issues as well. I haven't rooted the S7 ever since I first got it over 1.5 years ago because I never had the need to. It's always been pretty good and stable except Nougat. It started out fine, but as time went on it got progressively worse. I didn't have to do a factory reset and so far, Oreo has been a dream come true.

People's mileage will vary depending on their use and any mods they may have done to their phones. Also, remember that not all apps are written to Oreo specs. Whenever there is a major upgrade, certain APIs and other programming techniques that might have worked (or been allowed to happen) under older versions of Android may now be no longer allowed. That can result in apps misbehaving under Oreo and thereby causing the symptoms you see (battery drain, sluggishness, etc). That's why it's always best to see if any apps you have installed have been updated to work correctly with Oreo.

Another option would have been to uninstall apps one by one to see if things improved after they were removed. At that point, you have found your culprit.

I usually do an update of all apps before doing an upgrade because a lot of devs will push out updates to make their apps conform to the next Android version's standards. That has usually allowed me to avoid any issues. Problem is, not all apps are kept up-to-date because the developer has moved on to other things, etc. But, if any apps that haven't been updated in a long time are still on after I upgrade, I usually would remove those first and that usually cured my ills. But, it is rare that I have the problem because I usually don't keep old, stale apps around. I'm a stickler for that for some reason. :)

In any case, glad you got it working!

I had no problem at all updating. Went real smooth. My battery has better life and the heat/battery/lag/slow boot are so much betterer. The only things I miss is dolby and viper for sound quality being non rooted. I listen to a lot of music and now have to use an old rooted S5 for my music. Thank you for the release. I've only had it installed for a day and if I notice any issues I will post

Awful, but to be fair, the phone has been horrible for several months now. Did the update to Oreo first, but phone was slow. Decided to do a factory data reset and start fresh with Oreo. It was a little bit better, but not great. Then I installed the g930vvrs4crg2 update and it got worse. Last try before smashing this phone is to Odin back to fresh Oreo, then install the latest update. Hopefully that helps.

[HTC U11 Life Questions & Answers] brobi69:
Hi All,

I've just started using this phone - previous one was an LG G4c so it is definitely a huge jump for me. :)

My question as the topic title suggest… is related more about application side than on the device itself, but you may still know the answer.?

So I got used to that feature on the LG phone that I can pin several recent apps on overview screen. This is something different from the "basic" Android feature "pin one app exclusively on top" setting.

I'm missing another clever thing too - namely the so called knock knock...to wake the screen.

I tried to find in the Google play store such apps but was unsuccessful...therefore asking here.

And the most annoying thing I came across: seems like the ring and notification alert sounds again linked?? Is it the phone or Oreo...?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Rob
[HTC U11 Life Questions & Answers] saturday_night:
Hi, to your first question i cant say something because never heard of that feature (i think this was made by lg). What you call "knock knock" is called "double tap to wake" or short dt2w, depending on your version of the U11 life you could maybe get that feature. With the North American Sense Version of the U11 life you can use a custom kernel and thats the only way to get this working, but if you have the international Android One Version there is no way to get dt2w if you are no developer and you can do it by yourself ;p. For the last question, sure you can setup different sounds for notification and calls only the volume level is linked and i think this i oreo or htc related but i´m sure there is a xposed or magisk module which can give you seperated volume level control.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] ravensfan8448:
Hello! I have decided to turn in this pixel 2 I have to google finally but I'd really like to make a nandroid backup of it before I send it in as it has some very interesting apks on it (I made previous threads on this), pictures here https://photos.google.com/share/AF1...?key=dDc2UjVBQWpmUk5KUEpmNVJ6WWZYZ0RQUkprZm13 . Problem is that the phone isn't exactly running the stock pixel 2 os, it came directly from google running AOSP with android version 8.0.1. I'm not sure if the kernal and everything else are the same either, I do have a picture of the system information in the above album.

So I tried following this https://www.the***********.com/install-twrp-recovery-on-google-pixel-2-pixel-2-xl/ exactly to boot into twrp, but after following the steps to entering "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-2-walleye.img" in windows power shell, powershell says Downloading boot.img OKAY and booting OKAY, but the pixel 2 screen just goes black instead of loading TWRP. I am still able to get back to android and get back to the bootloader, but I can't seem to load or install TWRP.

^not sure why the url gets ***** out. the ***** out portion is "custom droid" with no space

I'm not sure of any other way to pull data off this phone without TWRP installed. The phone won't accept any sim card I've tried, and turning on wifi allows me to connect to my local wifi network, showing the correct IP, DNS, and default gateway, but still refuses to connect to the internet. Usb debugging is enabled, and adb lists the phones serial number when prompted with fastboot devices.

The phone itself shows 24gb/32gb all used by the system. When I plug it in to my PC and view the files, it shows as "AOSP on walleye" with 6.73gb free of 15.6gb rather than the 32gb the phone shows. The files shown on the pc are all most empty as well, I can't seem to find what files are taking up that 10gb or so that my PC does manage to see.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd be happy to hear them. It'd be a shame to let all these tools go. Otherwise this phone should be heading back to google soon.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] djer34:
So you're sending the phone back to Google....why? Because it came without the stock OS? It's hard to believe that the phone came with AOSP already installed...that's awesome if it did since AOSP is usually something that you have to load yourself.

So I'm sure you understand that your bootloader has to be unlocked in order to boot TWRP yes? Because typically when the bootloader is not unlocked the phone will reject the recover and shut down. So make sure your bootloader is unlocked in developer settings since you have a Google verison.

Sounds like your partitions are being weird when plugged in to the PC and its only seeing some of the partition. I would try to reinstall the driver and see where that gets you.

If you're concerned about your APKs, I would just use Titanium Backup and backup all the APKs to storage and then pull that from the phone using PC.

Hope this helps.

Yep, I anticipated the back would scratch quite easily. So I installed a full coverage DBrand skin for the back and the camera lens, just after pulling the phone from the packaging. Then I immediately put the phone in the OnePlus Nylon case. This, paired with the OnePlus tempered glass protector, should keep my phone pristine for higher resale value down the road.

>doesn't use case

>complains phone got scratched

You people realize you're the reason manufacturers can't actually innovate and have to spend time and money backtracking to fix issues YOU'RE causing? I wouldn't be surprised if people start trying to blame a car dealership for their own stupid driving because the dealership sold them the car that they crashed. The mental gymnastics you must have to do are incomprehensible.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeromejeremytay:
I am using the protective case given, still prone to scratch. And I'm giving a heads up for the people using this phone, to be extra careful.

So you're saying that if your power button fails one day, you won't blame the manufacturer but yourself because you prese the power button all the time?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
No, he's saying that phones with glass backs have been prone to scratching quite easily for years (Galaxy S8/S9, iPhones, Pixel, Pixel 2 etc.). And they all use the same "Gorilla Glass 5". At this point it should be common sense to expect a phone with a glass back to scratch, even in a case. Cases can move slightly and rub against the back of the phone, causing these scratches. It's worse when debris gets between the phone and the case too.

It shouldn't be a surprise to you or anyone that this is going to happen. The best way to prevent it is with a full coverage skin for the back, prior to installing it in a case. But even that isn't 100% full proof.

Regardless, to complain about the back scratching is just silly, at this point.

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] joel.ashir:
With a decent camera on the Honor 6X, wanted to create some 1080p videos for YouTube. The problem that I faced was that, even with all the appropriate converters from TRRS to TRS mic and speaker splitter, I could not make the stock camera app or the reputed third party apps like open camera and Camera FV5 to start recording from the external mic :eek:. Even with the right choice selected on the third party apps, it just records from the built-in mic.

Is there any way to force the app to recognise the external mic. To note the external mic works fine with voice calling, but not with video recording. :rolleyes:

The problem is that I don't think it's any of the above 25 partitions on the main eMMC. I've checked my device's PIT file and it has 29 entries including 25 with names and partition identifier numbers that correspond to those above. Then there are 4 extra entries including BOOTLOADER (shoot.bin) which has partition identifier 80. Obviously I do not have a /dev/block/mmcblk0p80 because there aren't 80 partitions! So I have no idea where exactly Odin/Heimdall flashes the bootloader to. It seems to me it must be hidden somehow.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makeyourself:
OK I figured it out, bootloader is on /dev/block/mmcblk0boot0. Some more information can be found here for anyone also looking https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/mmc/mmc-dev-parts.txt
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edwin Hamal:
Thanks a ton for this and where is the cm.bin stored tho? BOOT1? AND how do I flash sboot.bin? Odin never allows me to flash it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makeyourself:
Yes to the first question if I remember correctly but if Odin is not flashing the bootloader then I would advise you to find out why. It's likely because your current bootloader is rejecting the flash for some reason (FRP lock, etc) or you're using an incompatible Odin version, old Samsung USB drivers etc. Or you're trying to downgrade to an older bootloader version could be another possible reason for it to fail.

Technically speaking it might be possible to flash the bootloader using the dd command but I wouldn't try it, if it goes wrong you will hard brick your phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edwin Hamal:
I've spend like a week trying to flash the bootloader but not luck. Maybe all this is because I'm on the oreo bootloader and I can't revert. There's no problem with either thw driver or the odin whatsoever. There's nothing out there to find out where the bootloader is stored on Samsung phones. ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makeyourself:
It's not necessarily that you can't revert from Oreo to Nougat bootloaders, it depends on the Samsung version number of the bootloader I think. For instance if you have firmware with number A520FXXU4BRC6 then 4 is the bootloader version. My understanding is that you can use any other version 4 bootloader, Oreo or Nougat. However you can't downgrade to version 3 for instance. And if you have version 5 then I think only Oreo may be available in that, no Nougat.

Yes I noticed that! I really wouldn't bother trying to manually flash it though. Perhaps try Heimdall if you want an alternative method to Odin which is what I generally use.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edwin Hamal:
Thanks for that info. My phone is the Korean A520L variant btw and I can't flash Lineage after flashing Oreo stock. I guess if you could make a TWRP backup of lineage then I could flash it? I've already tried hiemdall, z3x but no luck so no more tryna flash the bootloader except if i find a factory binary or something.
