Weirdly enough it stopped happening after I removed the all body protector from the sides of the phone.

Didnt expect that would effect Edge Sense.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sronweb:
I'm just considering this device as next smartphone. but I'm not yet 100% convinced. I'm benchmarking pro and cons. Something is curious that I don't see yet custom roms or AOSP based roms.

Am I wrong, perhaps I didn't watch in the right sections and web sites but I'm not finding around any custom or AOSP rom. I know that HTC has shared the kernel source code so making roms should be facilitate and developers should be interested to cook roms. In contrary I know that some other companies are blocking bootloaders, are trying to limit root access and does not disclose source code which should be necessary to develop a rom where all hardware is working properly etc.

There is not interest on this device from the community or just too early to find it? For me would be an important point, because considering that HTC will likely not update the device for long it would be an alternative option to flash AOSP roms in the future and keep the device alive.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
AOSP ROMs would most likely come the Treble way, as GSI. There already is a large section on this board regarding Treble GSI development. Maybe you should take a read there.

I ordered a HTC U12+ last Wednesday and I should be here in sunny Hawaii tomorrow. I bricked my U11 earlier this month and don't know when the U11 will make it out of the HTC hospital. I've read a long thread on HTC repair turnaround on the U11 forum and it doesn't look too promising in getting the phone back any time soon.

Looking forward in getting the U12+. I've searched for a QC 4.0 compliant charger and found one on Amazon. I didn't order that yet. I did order a case and screen protector and that should be here later this week.

I've owned only HTC phone sets the last 8 years. I just like HTC style and UI. I hope HTC will be more driven to become a competitive smartphone company.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] LibertyMonger:
All the negativity against HTC and the U12+ this year and we finally see the new Google pixel phone. I feel absolutely confident and happy with my choice. I do not think the new Google Pixel has much more of anything better than the HTC U12+.

I do believe it was a bad year to upgrade especially if we have to watch our budget. I think next year will be a much better year for those of you who did not upgrade this year. I think if you decided not to upgrade I believe you made a good decision. Especially since 5g should be included in the 2019 Qualcomm SOC. And as long as HTC survives, I know those of us who chose the U12+ did not make a bad decision.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] muhhh351:
I'm looking for a new phone beacuse my HTC10 is a bit old. The battery life is not good anymore and it's time for a new one.

So I was searching the top phones and wasn't very impressed. I think the U12+ will fit my needs the most...

Do you think there is a chance to get it on black friday with a discount?

Or: Where is the best time to buy it?

And do I need something to know about this phone?

I liked the metall cover of my HTC10 - so I will sign an insurance for the U12+ because I let drop every single phone some day.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] LibertyMonger:
There is a $50 off coupon now but that may not be enough.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mauiblue:
Prices will drop as we get closer to the holiday season I assume. I was able to get $50 off and free shipping (another $20 off) when I ordered mine off the HTC website a couple weeks ago.

The U12+ is working out great for me but the battery life is sub par compared to the U11. I did have the U11 bootloader unlocked and the phone rooted and I had a couple apps that helped with power management. I'm thinking of rooting the U12+ but I'll wait a bit and do my research before jumping in. I also want to wait until I get my U11 back from HTC repair to use as a back up just in case I fubar the U12+.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pixelvisions:
I don't know if eBay runs coupons in Europe, but in the US they often have discount codes that max out at $100. A good deal on a new U12+ (mine had a Hong Kong MID) would cost US$700, so you're paying US$600 with the code.

The learning curve felt VERY steep coming from the HTC 10. Treble partitions make everything much more complicated. There's also a drawback to having a less common MID. It is harder to find image files, and I am having trouble with S-OFF that I'm convinced has to do with the variant I have.

I am glad to have a U12+ because of the community support. The phone itself seems fine so far -- very fast and good battery life. The buttons really are stupid, though. Before buying the phone, I thought the reviewers were being too critical. Now I realize they were only being too dramatic. It really is an issue, just not as damaging as they suggested.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] LibertyMonger:
There's an app I use that has a small widget to replace the power button, it's called Device Control [Root]

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.namelessrom.devicecontrol
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] LibertyMonger:
But the buttons seem to be working better since the 1.30 update but I never have issues with them. I still prefer real buttons. Anyone else think the buttons were improved? And does anyone know what was improved in the 1.30 update?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mawoods75:
Just got the OTA notice today for 1.30 version. So far, no change in power or vol down button (which have always been fine anyway on my phone), but I have noticed the vol up button seems to.respond better with 1.30. Though I did get one ghost press on vol up not long after first reboot from OTA. So far so good.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] LibertyMonger:
All the buttons feel improved for me especially power. Seems much easier to press.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Tachi91:
So I just learned a fun fact about iPhones... They only support USB 2.0 speeds, even to this day and their most expensive phone costing $1500 USD and with the additional $20 USD Lighting to USB-C cable. They transfer at only ~480Mb/s which is just sooo sad.

USB 2.0 was released in 2000

USB 3.0 was in 2008 and 3.1 following in 2013. Yet Apple is still stuck with only 2.0 speeds in this day and age.
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] LibertyMonger:
They would have never given HTC this much of an excuse if it scored lower than the Pixel.

"DxOMark reviews can be controversial as some people don’t think they accurately represent the quality of a camera. Regardless of your opinion, it’s nice to have some sort of score for comparison. That doesn’t mean you can’t prefer one over the other."

Majority of the tech industry has turned their back on HTC. Any chance they get to bad mouth the company they make it headlines. Any true improvements that surpass the competition are hidden away.

I love this phone. My first htc was hd2.. It was the most custom rom phone on market. I bought u12+ on pre order. I got 1 only 1 even i say agression on him.. Egde sens... Pretty amazing technology but quite unuseble. Sometimes works great sometimes non. But the phone is like a magic for me :)

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] TarekElsakka:
I know it's a personal preference thing but I am upgrading from the S8 and for the life of me I cannot decide on which color to get. I have seen them in person and they both look fantastic but I just cannot make a decision yet.

My S7 Edge and S8 are both Midnight Black so I have been thinking about changing this time and going for Grey but I am really hesitant about it because it seems to be a bit reflective and prone to showing scratches and scuff marks easier - is that true?

I have not been following up on reviews of the S9+ so I am not really aware if either color has any specific problems that owners realized later on?

Please enlighten me and help me choose.

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Sabertooth:
I have the Grey Exynos and Blue Snapdragon in my house. I personally like the blue colour over the grey as it looks more appealing. No scratches or scuffs yet in them(really care for them lol) and both are equally reflective.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] TarekElsakka:
[MENTION=619473]sabertooth[/MENTION] Thanks for your reply! Blue is actually the color I was interested in initially but then I realized that it's not sold here unless I buy it from a third party website without warranty, similar to craigslist but locally, and I am not interested in spending that much money on something like that. I think I'll go for Midnight Black again, simply because I am already used to it and reviews say that it has more of a matte finish compared to the S8's glossy one, which would actually be nicer for me. I was quite high when I saw it in the store so I wasn't very detail oriented. :D

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] axg2011:
I recently acquired S9+. I use fingerprint to unlock the phone, but I am seeing that the phone unlocks directly from the AOD if I touch the fingerprint scanner.

In S7, I had to press the power key from AOD to get to lock screen and then touch the fingerprint scanner. This prevented accidental unlocks. S9+ unlocks without pressing the power key or going to the unlock screen. This is causing me lot of trouble as the phone unlocks if I even touch the fingerprint scanner.

Any way to force pressing the power key to get to unlock screen and then touch the fingerprint scanner to unlock?

Thanks,

Arun
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Revontheus:
Currently there is no other way, coming from the S7 myself it also took some time getting used to. However, in the long run I've found it convenient as simply placing my finger on the scanner unlocks the phone which is faster compared to pressing the home key on the S7.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] plgonzalezrx8:
The issue that I'm having is that I am unable to unlock the bootloader even though I should be able to. Here are the steps i'm taking and where the issue happens.

Factory/Wipe reset

Tap about Pixel 2 7 times to get developer options

Go to developer options and enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking.

(I Can see that OEM unlocking is enabled).

Then I do "adb reboot bootloader"

and once in the bootloader, I do "fastboot flashing unlock"

Then it tellsme that Flashing Unlock is not allowed and when I go back to the developer options, the OEM Unlocking is greyed out and in the off position and I cannot re enable it no matter what. I have not being able to find anyone with this problem or a solution, any help would be appreciated.

I have tried the above steps many times with no luck, and every time the results are the same. It gives me the OEM Unlock option right after the factory reset, but one I do the "fastboot flashing unlock" it doesn't unlock the bootloader and then it locks the option in developer options.

I updated both ADB and fastboot to the latest version.

Edit #2: running the "fastboot flashing get-unlock-ability" command, returns a (1), which means that it should be able to be unlocked.

Edit #3: Tried to sideload OTA update using ADB and it does not solve the issue.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Jomama22:
After factory image, did you reinstall the update? Maybe make sure the update has been completed in total (takes 2 reboots sometimes).

Try: fastboot oem unlock

Definitely a weird issue. Are you on Verizon’s network?

Edit: were you connected to the internet when you did the oem unlock in the developers options?

Edit 2: you have usb debugging enabled yeah?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] plgonzalezrx8:
After factory image, did you reinstall the update? Maybe make sure the update has been completed in total (takes 2 reboots sometimes).

I did not, I assumed that since it is the latest factory image, I did not needed to update, will try this ASAP.

USB Debugging is enabled.

I was connected to the internet when I did the OEM Unlock under developer options, I tried both connected and not connected to the internet. I tried to change the boot partition using fastboot and it does not allow to do so when in "locked" mode.

oem unlock returns that it is unable to be unlocked. (Sorry, not home now, but will post the actual error when I get back)

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] plgonzalezrx8:
That is in fact the error I'm getting. I had the OG Pixel and the Pixel 2 rooted since the day they came out and never had a problem, and now with this RMA replacement, I'm having problems, but IDK what could be the cause because with a fresh factory reset, I can at least see the "OEM Unlock" under developer options, so I'm so confused.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] keanon:
My OEM Unlock option will "take" when I click it, but it's disabled again when I reboot.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] lightningdude:
If they're RMA replacements, there's a possibility you got a Verizon Pixel 2 instead of a Google. This happened to me as well, I just traded for my wife's Pixel 2, because she has no interest in BL Unlocking and all that goes with it. There have been others who kept returning phones until they got one that allowed BL Unlocking. If you purchased from Google originally, just tell them the problem and they should send you another RMA replacement, from what I've seen elsewhere.

Edit for clarification: Supposedly, they've been getting Verizon and Google Pixel 2s mixed up when they get refurbished.

So op, is this the first time you have tried unlocking this rma? If so, sounds like you know the problem and probably have to rma again
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] plgonzalezrx8:
Yes. This is the first time I tried to unlock this RMA, just got it a couple days ago. I have rooted all my android phones for the past 4-5 years and never had a problem similar to this show up before. The thing is that I really want to know what is happening at at deeper level, why is this happening, it doesn't make any sense at all because why would that option change if the fasboot flashing command is returning an error, also when I use "fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability" it returns a (1) and not a (0), which means that it can be unlocked.

We'll see, I started the RMA process lets see what they say.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] lightningdude:
I don't remember where exactly I saw it, but in one of the commands, it tells you whether it's allowed to be unlocked. That's a firm 0 in that spot. Like I said, you likely ended up with a refurbished Verizon version. The only difference, to my knowledge, is that Verizon doesn't want you to unlock your bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] bartolo5:
There's already a whole thread about this. Please post there

https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2/help/oem-unlocking-grayed-vzw-pixel-2-t3776763/page5

Bottom line. Google pixel 2s refurbished RMAs are botched for OEM unlocking. There's a problem with their refurbishment procedures that makes it behave exactly like show here

Only solution is trying to convince them to send you a new RMA, but good luck with that.

[Security Discussion] Adeline Bullze:
When you install an app from third-party, your phone may pops up a message like “For security, your phone is set to block installation of apps obtained from unknown sources.” So you may doubt about the safety of the app. Is it safe? Does it contains virus?

Actually, app from unknown source does not mean it is unsafe. But equally we can not trust it completely. The app is not allowed to publish on official site like Google Play Store because it infringe its policy. Facing the situation, the best solution is to find an alternative app on official app store. If you fail to find and really need the app, here is what you need to do:

Check if the app has virus. Go to the official to see whether the app has verified by any anti-virus software. Take InsTube as an example, you know it is verified by CM Security, Lookout Security and McAfee on instube dot com.

Read some decent reviews or comments. Though the app has passed through some safety verification software, the app may still harmful. For example, I want to download SnapTube, which has passed through safety verification, to my Android phone last year. I thought it is safe previously, but I changed my mind after reading some decent reviews. The reviews show that InsTube apk requires many important permissions from my phone, which let me worry about my privacy.

Anyway, consider carefully before installing an app from unknown sources. If you haven’t other option, just download it from its official site.

You can read a review to know why the apps may not that safe；

https://blog.instube.com/is-snaptube-apk-safe/
[Security Discussion] Applied Protocol:
To check for a Virus drop the app into https://www.virustotal.com or in https://androidobservatory.org/

on open source apps you can look at the permissions being used from the AndroidManifest.xml file

You can run the app on a virtual machine if needed

Hi there,

Been using Lineage 14.1 on my OPO and now 15.1. It's great, works flawlessly.

I have noted a few things and a few suggestions:

1. Mobile Network Standby, drains and kills max amount of the battery as the SOT, despite on WiFi....never observed in 14.1. WiFi would use 1% and Mobile Network 22%. Any fixes expected? Any other user facing it?

2. Advanced battery usage should display, Camera, GPS, Location and Flashlight.

3. Call history, doesn't give details like in 14.1?

4. Battery while on charge and device powered off, should display percentage and the notification light.

5. There should be an option for call recording.

Thanks and hope these suggestions go to the developers.

In my opinion is the best Android ROM!
