[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] thejase:
My phone keeps locking despite trusted places being set. This includes my home and work but in either of those places it locks. I wonder if the phone locks just from hitting power button as I tend to hit that to immediately power off the screen? If so, where is this setting to prevent locking when power button is pressed?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] ArkAngel06:
This happens to me on my tablet (Pixel C). I have to go into trusted places and set a location manually with a pin on a map. If I put a pin somewhere near my home, it will work for awhile, but eventually, I have to do it again to get it working.

I think location based safe lock is just kinda buggy on Android.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] thejase:
Thanks for this. My wife was saying she had the same issue on her s9+ so I assumed an Oreo bug was at play here. My guess would be the perimeter is set too small. Not visually but behind the scenes as the map will show a few hundred feet. There is no way to adjust this that I'm aware of.

I have a regular Sprint S7 (SM-G930P). I just updated to nrd90m.g930pvpu6brd2 and I want to go back to the previous version. Is it possible to do without rooting? Is there a way to root without losing all the data on my phone? I would like to use the version just before the March 2017 security update.

Thank You

You cannot flash lower firmware even with root because your bootloader has been updated, cannot downgrade anymore

Even though they are both 7.0 roms? Has the bootloader been unlocked yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Bootloader remains locked for all snapdragon models. You should be able to side step in version, but not go back. Even though it's all still android 7.0, bootloader versions continue to update, so there's several for 7.0.

Just wanted to inform any interested user, that Slickwraps just got their OnePlus 6 and will now decide, if the Natural Series are coming.

For anyone not familiar with the Natural Series from Slickwraps: Those wraps are natural materials, like genuine, real leather, bamboo, cork, etc.

They also sell normal wraps like dbrand, but in comparison, dbrand offers more durable normal wraps and Slickwraps unique and durable natural ones. I have a leather wrap on my OnePlus 3T and Note 8. Since the back is really slippery at the OnePlus 6, I asked Slickwraps for any upcoming or even planned Natural Series wraps, because they are currently not listed. And the reply was like I wrote at the beginning from my post. Keep fingers crossed, but it shouldn't be that hard to make them happen. The Note 8 also has a damn slippery glass back and it sticks and fits damn well. Can't live without them anymore.

I keep you informed about the outcome and when they'll are available. Sure, you can watch for them too and if you're quicker: Please leave an answer for other people :). Since I'm no employee of Slickwraps, the only thing I can do is the same you can do: Hit F5 at the link for the Natural Series a few times each day (see below) :D.

This isn't any promo-post. Just an information :)

I hope they also bring their Alcantara series to the 6. Natural skins would be great in a market that doesnt offer such product.

1+ doesnt offer leather or real wood cases.. (Miss their bamboo)

I just bought a new condition Nokia 8 Sirocco for review purposes and then planned on reselling it, of course I dropped it first day I got it (luckily with the case on), but unluckily it shattered the front glass. Touch seems to work just fine however, BUT...

Nokia won't sell me the part or help me at all since I'm not in the same country as where it is available from their website.

I tried ordering parts through a cellphone repair store authorized with Nokia, and even called and emailed places in both the UK and Canada that were authorized Nokia repair stores, and they are unable to get me the part or repair it for me even if I pay shipping there and back as well as for the repair and part.

The one website I found that sells the part for a very reasonable 400 rs (5-6 usd) only ships within India.

I've wasted so much time trying to figure out how to just get the part, much less have it repaired. If anyone has any ideas, suggestions, or can help me out I'd be incredibly grateful, or if you can sell me the part directly that would work as well.

Thanks for your time !

Front Screen for Nokia 8

China is the main source of cell phone parts. So, I think you should try "Aliexpress". And they can deliver your product in the USA.
[General Accessories] mushepea:
hi wiederganger,

i just bought a N8S with cracked screen, too good a price to not, i'd seen an ad via google for replacement screens for £69.99 in UK so thought id get it fixed easily, but when i got the phone i checked out the company on trust pilot, it is a scam, all bad reviews nothing good. I got in touch with nokia uk, they quoted £303GBP (about $400USD) for the repair, i can get new glass put in a samsung S8 for £70, so they are way over pricing it and withholding parts deliberately. i tweeted this info out, maybe they'll wake up as nobody would buy one if they realised the screen replacement cost. imho if they make things that break so easily they should be forced to supply replacement parts by law. or use a better screen that can be dropped, we all drop phones once in a while.

anyway i also searched around for glass only. everywhere in china i can find (aliexpress mainly) sells the whole LCD assembly for about $150USD, which is an option if all else fails. 1 place in india has screen only. again a hassle to get it sent overseas. but first ill wait a while, im sure the parts will become available. luckily this phone is usable as is, ill eventually fix it and sell it before i break the screen then buy another smasung because too much hassle to get parts for nokia. similar to apple who deliberately withhold parts also. just dont buy from these companies. i wont buy anything from nokia again. ill let you know how i get on.:cool:
[General Accessories] emlynwilliams224:
Hi, I dropped my Sirocco 8 in December and the glass was toast but the screen worked okay. I bought it in the UAE and have since moved to Malaysia.

Nokia in Malaysia wouldn't touch it and told me that I'd need to send to the country of purchase for repair. I'm not keen on the idea of sending the phone back to the UAE so I too found the company in the UK (QMF) and have sent the phone to them. They've now told me that they cannot obtain the parts so I'm now scouring the web in the hope that someone can fix this phone for me. I loved this phone and if I'd known the trouble I'd have to get it repaired, I would have either not bought it or wrapped it in cotton wool!

If anyone has any luck with getting their phone repaired, I would appreciate if they could share details.

Have a good one.
[General Accessories] creftlodollar:
I sent my N8S to the said repair shop for £69.99 to replace the screen -3 weeks ago. Today, they sent me an email wanting another £180 more for the LCD replacement. I told them to cancel the repairs and refunds will be 30 days.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Fledron:
Info:

my device is a Huawei p9 lite VNS-L31

Before the problem occurred I had absolutely 0 problems with something like that

What doesn't work:

"Enrollment was not completed

Fingerprint enrollment didn't work.

Try again or use a different finger."

When trying to register any finger.

Story:

I unlocked my bootloader, tried several custom ROMS to see which one I like the most.

I ended up using Validus, and successfully registered two fingerprints.

Then I tried rooting, somehow failed and wiped everything to restart.

I reinstalled TWRP and Validus, rooted successfully. Fingerprints stopped working then.

I tried wiping everything, formatting, deleting my fingerprint stuff (which I couldn't, the files didn't exist!!!)

like this:

I also tried installing a different ROM. Nothing worked.

I also tried going back to stock firmware but the update always fails and I only can use custom ROMS.

Everything else works.

Question:

What could I possibly do to get fingerprints working again?

Thanks in advance!
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] karlorizzi:
Have you deleted your fingerprints before reinstalling TWRP and Validus? If not, then that might be the problem.

Install any version of Elite Rom and delete your registered fingerprints.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Fledron:
Thank you for your answer!

I wasn't able to get into the os, so I didn't do that.

I will try installing Elite ROM, but I don't understand how the fingerprints would be visible to delete there, since I had Validus already when it happened, so shouldn't the fingerprints be there with Validus?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Fledron:
It worked, thank you! I'd still be interested in knowing why the fingerprints are visible in EliteROM.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] abialic:
Hello.

I have exactly same problem but on Huawei P10 Lite.

Unfortunately Elite ROM is not available for EMUI 8.

Any other ideas how I can delete fingerprints?

Regards.

EDIT: Never mind, I fixed it by downloading stock ROM via EMUI recovery. It wipes everything include fingerprints and install everything stock.

FlashKernel v2.43 + Magisk 16.4 working fine
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
Magisk is still working for me, still passing SafetyNet.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] w0rdie:
Not possible to sideload the OTA file via TWRP, correct?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] rdmrocha:
Not sure. I installed it by unpacking the factory image and removing the -w from the flash-all script
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] w0rdie:
I always forget about that.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] psychomaniac82:
got it yesterday through ota, till now it runs fine. No performance difference so far (no unlock timeout luckily, although the problem was with Oreo June update, you'll never know if it travels to P).

Think I found 2 differences so far. The first is pretty cool, on the AOD you see now the weather under the time, next to the date, the weather icon is in color, looks really nice! :D The battery indicator on the AOD looks the same, bit too small in my opinion, little doubt if the font size is +1... but i don't think so.

The second thing that i found is that when you search in the settings, the result isn't flashing anymore but just a solid color that indicates the option you where searchinig for.

Adaptive Battery is enabled automatic after update, i turned it off before, because it just used more battery in standby when i turned it on. In the first couple of hours, it looks like it now works when enabled. After a couple of days it should be clear if it makes the standby drain a little less.

Couple of dutch apps work now, those crashed before when launching them. NOS, Ziggo GO are working fine now. The ABN Wallet app (sort of google pay replacement) doesn't crash on launch, but i need a reader to enable this wallet, and that reader is at home, i'm at work now :)

I did not factory reset the phone because it is a small update.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] nullness:
I'm noticing terrible battery drain. For instance unplugged phone when fully charged at around 3:30am by 8:30am battery was at 56%. Before the update only 5-6% would be discharged during that time. Battery stats show no app usage and claims everything is fine so I have no idea of the cause.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] EvilDobe:
https://developer.android.com/preview/release-notes

Well what you're describing is mentioned in the release notes under Known Issues.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] nullness:
True, but it's good to let people know the extent of the problem, known or not. Personally I would not have updated if I knew the issue was this extreme. Point taken about it being a known issue though. :good:
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] psychomaniac82:
Until now (half day use) I don't have much battery difference between dp2 and dp3. Try to turn adjustable battery management off. In dp2 my phone had less drain with the feature off. This half a day I have turned it on and testing if the drain better or worse. But the drain you're describing isn't normal. Have you tried to factory reset? With Google backup it isn't much of a hassle in my opinion.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] EvilDobe:
I get what you're saying. Just didn't know if you knew about the known issue so I wanted to make you (and others) aware that there are known bug & where to find that documentation. We're all so excited to try the latest/greatest that we never look at what might be wrong.

Also my anecdotal battery usage has been decent since I flashed. Obviously today is my first full day of usage but so far it hasn't been too bad. I unplugged ~6:45am, made a 15min phone call, and it's been sitting on my desk getting minimal usage & I'm at 95% and it's currently 10am.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] nullness:
It's pretty weird. I installed it yesterday afternoon and noticed very little difference, it was just like suddenly overnight despite no app updates or notifications the battery just drained. I turned off the adjustable battery management a couple hours ago and I'm already seeing a difference. I'm going to hold off on the factory reset until I give it another day to see if that does the trick. Thanks for your help!
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] BDragonD24:
Hey guys, I keep on getting the "an error has occurred" message when attempting to do the OTA. I know I can probably just side load the factory image later on tonight but is anyone else having this issue? I have a custom kernel installed so maybe that is causing the problem? Although, that said; the custom kernel didn't bother it going from Oreo to DP2.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] rekids:
Just finished installing pp3, along with root and flash kernel 2.43 (latest).

Pin stop being accepted after a couple of reboots, and didn't work not TWRP as well.

Once rebooted again started working

Hope it has something to do with everything just settling down.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikeynavy1:
Today I too experienced a noticeably faster battery drain. As alluded to above (from release notes) it might be attributed to the new screen settings. I'll see how it does but I've turned off adaptive display and set my static brightness setting to 40%...in the past I used to use 30% and it was plenty bright but not under the new system. Has anyone come up with a recommended brightness on the new slider that is both clean/legible and battery friendly?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] nullness:
Try turning off Adaptive Battery in the battery settings, it got turned on by default in dp3. After I did that yesterday my battery drain stopped.

So, when I try to install magisk and patch my boot img via magisk manager, my installation keeps failing. It says it's unable to extract the magisk zip file. Anyone else having this problem?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikeynavy1:
I just turned it off and will see if there is any difference. I suspect that it may take a little while for the adaptive battery feature to "learn" so that might be the issue. If so, I'm hoping that Google or a thorough reviewer will put out some guidance on how it works and how long a user would need to be patient before seeing any advantage to using it.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] psychomaniac82:
A day later and adaptive battery is still on and do not experience the drain you guys experience. With adaptive on the phone has a better battery life than with dp2 and oreo. I travel for work witch has a severe impact on the battery. Normally I have a screen on time of 1 to 1,5 hour after work when the phone reaches 50%. Today it was about 2 hours and 20 to 30 minutes (not checked out at 50%). But I think it's better then before. Hope it will stay this way. Hoping a little more the 'ROM' will settle more and adaptive battery getting better. Will try to report this weekend or next week.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] atifaslam7:
The only annoying thing on this update I found, when you press menu to see your opened apps, it sometimes put it at the side with the "clear all" already displayed.

An occurence which occur randomly: I open whatsapp, I go out to home screen, I press menu to show the opened apps.

Whatsapp is not in the middle, instead it is on the right side, with "clear all" button on the left side, other times it works normally on the middle.

The problem that occurs afterwards is that if I try to clear the application by swiping up, it is stuck in the menu mode, so I have to scroll up to get my list of applications, then scroll down to revert to home screen.

As I mention again, it seems to be random occurence, and I don't know if it's a bug or it's a problem with sensitivity.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] cesar67:
I can't patch my boot image either, Magisk log says: Bad system call: Failed ! Installation failed.

I flashed Magisk.zip from twrp but, it still says Magisk is not installed!

I tried to flash my previous patched boot image from DP2 but, It just bootloops!

I flashed factory image with -w removed from script. Magisk not uninstalled and running patched boot image.

EDIT: Flashing Magisk 16.4 BETA flashed from custom recovery and allowed patching of boot.img!
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] crisco654:
Yep, temporarily booting TWRP and flashing Magisk 16.4 worked! Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] psychomaniac82:
On my phone the battery life is definitely better. Screen on time has been improved about an hour with moderate use, partly on the road, partly at home. Did not test it yet but I think I can get 5 to 6 hours screen on time when on WiFi the whole day with 24 hours of use. Adaptive battery still working fine!
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikeynavy1:
Has anyone noticed whether the overall brightness has been reduced? It may be partially due to new logarithmic brightness scale but my phone seems dimmer on dp3 than dp2. There are some other complaints on this in other forums but even 100% seems darker. When doing manual display I need the phone at like 70% when I used to use 30%. With adaptive display enabled it is regularly jumping above 80%. It just seemed much brighter before, even at Max brightness. Anyone experiencing the same? Does the new scale affect battery life? If I run my brightness above 50% now am I still getting the battery savings like when it was 30% before?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] psychomaniac82:
I have no troubles reading the phone in the sun at Max brightness in dp3, feels the same as dp2. Have to get used to the scale, the slider is now a lot above 50%, normally it was just of the time below 50. The real brightness of the screen influence the battery, wether the slider is at 30% or 80%.

Wi-Fi Issues?

I have noticed that connecting to secure Wi-Fi, such as a hidden network with WPA2, does not seem to want to work properly. I have input the information for the network into the phone and it refuses to even attempt to connect. All other devices with the information connect fine and this phone worked just fine back on PP2. The strange thing is when I leave the phone alone overnight, such as when it's plugged up on the charger and doing nothing, at some point it will connect. I notice this when I wake up in the morning and look at the phone. The only thing I can think of something that is in use during the day might be interfering somehow? Maybe my Fitbit? Any ideas?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] edwinek:
Anyone else had soft reboots (had 2 so far within 24 hours) or freezes (1)?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikeynavy1:
Is there a reason why "Pixel Setup" is always running? There are 2 sub processes, including Google Play Store, so I assume that might be why...but I went through the phone setup after installing DP2 and doing a reset. Not sure why, even with DP3, that it needs to be running still/all the time. It uses a noticeable amount of RAM too...according to Developer Options.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] edwinek:
Another thing I keep noticing: app updates in the Play Store fail quite often, especially when running in the background. Did anyone else notice this? They all succeed in the end, but it often takes two or more tries.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikeynavy1:
Update...posting in case someone else experiences the same thing. This weekend, for a flight, I had to turn the phone off for the duration. When I turned it back on at the destination, the Google Setup icon displayed in the notification bar...requesting completion of setup (not sure why). When I got to a location with Wifi, I followed the Setup screen steps (again), and now it no longer shows in Running Apps/Processes). In addition, the phone now feels faster and more responsive than before. Not sure if battery life or any other performance has changed, but I may have just been experiencing some bug or glitch from updating. If you notice the same thing, try turning the phone completely off for a little while (not restarting...as I tried that and the Pixel Setup never went away), and turn on.

Hey folks! So I've opted out of beta today and got the 8.1 OTA pushed to my phone. Now I'm facing the problem that everytime I try to get back to Oreo it downloads the OTA and then, at 3% progress the installation fails. Any advice what I can do? Or do I have to take the "hard" way of unlocking my bootloader and flash the system image?
