[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Rox598:
So I'm not sure if this is a beta issue or my Device or maybe it's how the pixel is idk (went straight to the beta after getting it) but at minimum brightness is literally can't see anything on my screen at all and before I can see things properly the slider needs to be at least near half way before anything is readible. Is this normal or a beta/device issue?

Don't have much problems keeping max brightness on if I need too but kinda sucks I can't see **** even in a dark room at minimum.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Pitch black room with brightness set to lowest, I can see things just fine with the exception of the black crushing. What were you trying to view exactly? Pics, text, video?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Yeah but that affected the upper range of brightness. That shouldn't have any affect on setting the brightness to 0%.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Rox598:
Mainly text it's hard to read when brightness us all the way down in a dark room is really hard.

Also in the daylight even a little bit down and it's near impossible to see outside seriously my razer phone screen is more visible
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Is it white text on a black background or black text on a white? I know with white text on a black background it can be difficult especially if scrolling because the black smears into the white.

The Razer phone is a really dim screen and max brightness on the Pixel 2 XL isn't super high but definitely brighter. You have Adaptive brightness on or off? As with most phones, screen actually gets brighter while auto/Adaptive is on and set to 100% than off and set to 100%.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toanau:
I updated my shield to Oreo now it made everything laggy and buggy. Anyone else experienced this? It is almost unbearable to use my shield now
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vaizen:
Found a similar issue but it's only when using the remote. If I use the controller everything is smooth and snappy as it should. Try and see if it's the same problem.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toanau:
Yeah. It look like the remote is causing the problem. But it's not as smooth like before
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
I'm having the same problem and I'm not using the remote. I use a Logitech Harmony Universal Remote or the Android TV Remote App on my smartphone but either way everything is very laggy since the Oreo update. I'm tempted to do a factory reset but I don't know if it would do any good.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dk1keith:
Not sure if you have the Shield TV Pro, but I read I believe on the Geforce Forum that the Shield Pro has to stay on for quite awhile after updating to optimize apps. I guess because of the large hard drive. Not sure that is the problem you're experiencing, but I had something similar happen on my Shield TV Pro 2017. Also there are a couple of apps that were causing issues, especially ES File Explorer. I uninstalled that and it seemed to make a difference in smoothing out navigating the shield.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
I factory reset and it didn't help at all. Everything still seems laggy. I have a Nvidia Shield Pro that I purchased in June 2017. I ran the Oreo update for a week so if the apps were going to optimize I think it would have happened. Maybe after some time the factory reset will help. The only apps I installed are Movies Anywhere, Fandango Now and Pandora. I also signed into Plex, YouTube, Vudu and Amazon Prime Video which were already on the device. I had more apps and some games before but I kept things to a minimum after the reset hoping it would help. So far I'm not noticing any improvement which is disappointing. My Nvidia worked great before the Oreo update. Now my $40 Roku Streaming Stick is smoother.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dk1keith:
That sucks. My Shield has gotten real laggy after certain updates for sure. But it usually will smooth out after a while. Sometimes quite a while. Yeah I'd say a week is long enough...smh. Having a lot of apps shouldn't cause it to be laggy. Only one for me as I mentioned was ES File Explorer. When I removed that there was a noticeable difference in speed. Sorry your having so many problems. My shield seems pretty smooth after the update. No smoother than before but it's not laggy.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
It seems a bit smoother tonight so maybe it will get better. It's definitely smoother than before the reset but still a bit laggy.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lulzyatlas:
Yeah, the update has personally ruined my device. Not so much as a single hiccup before hand. Now web connectivity breaks daily until rebooted. And device stops waking from sleep about every 48 hours. Ridiculous.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
I don't understand what the point of the update was if it was going to make the device run worse. I would have much rather stayed on Nougat since everything ran smoother.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
On the Shield Support Site some people say after the update you have to leave the Shield running for at least 3 hours before using it so it can optimize the memory. It's already too late for that but maybe the same applies after a factory reset. Some people claim the update is snappy but not for me. I don't know if it's bad enough to go through the hassle of another factory reset. The previous factory reset took hours to set up everything again.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
I just left my Shield on overnight when I went to bed. The next day my Shield was noticably snappier. Apparently the Shield can still optimize after Oreo has been installed but it needs to be running and not used to do the optimization. Mine isn't quite as smooth as before the update but it's very close and enjoyable to use again.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] nexy33:
Is there any way to do this currently and get BTU CSC, I've searched here and the web and came up blank so far
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
Depends what CSC you're on now, if it's a MultiCSC that already contains BTU, then no not easily, if at all

If it's a single CSC then just flashing the BTU CSC (Using CSC not HOME_CSC) should change it (Remove SIM first)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] dezborders:
(Optional)

Go into developer options and select OEM-Unlock option

WARNING: this will perform a factory reset and wipe everything your internal phone memory

(Required)

Download the latest FW for your S9 (SM-G960F / BTU)

(I use the PC app called Samfirm, which downloads the latest official FW package in 5-10 mins)

Download the latest Odin package, (3.13.1 or later)

Select all the individual flash files but select CSC_ file and not the HOME_CSC file (this is important for de-branding)

After flashing your phone perform another factory reset then boot up as BTU / unbranded.

(Optional)

Go back into Developer Options and disable OEM-Unlock (yet another factory reset)

I performed the above process at the weekend to change from H3G (Three UK) branded firmware to BTU and today I received the automatic OTA update that was released yesterday for BTU, so you still get updates :)

Hope you find this info useful?

EDIT: I am thinking you might be able to do the de brand without toggling OEM Unlock off and on - saving you 2 factory resets. Let me know if that works :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MC_Squared_:
I've tried following many, many Android SDK tutorials, but nothing has worked.

After downloading and extracting the package I have this. No eclipse, no direct sdkmanager, nothing.

[IMG="Main folder > tools"]https://image.ibb.co/ckV0uy/xdastep2.png[/IMG]

In the topmost bin file lies the sdkmanager, but as a batch file and not an exe.

[IMG="Main folder > tools > bin"]https://image.ibb.co/gXqYEy/xdastep1.png[/IMG]

When I try to run it a cmd window flashes and nothing else happens. My Java is up to date, and like I said before the package didn't come with Eclipse.

What should I do? I haven't been able to find any answers.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Potato.Ninja:
Your battery is in negative state means no power at all it happened with me also, to fix this just plug your device to charger for some time like 20-30 mins it will show no signs of charging but it will charge after 30 min try to switch on your device ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Chrisis25:
If nothing work, the last option (before change battery) is try to charge with inverse polarity.

You need to charge the battery without phone with cutted cable. Use inverse polarity...

Red cable (positive) in negative place of battery

Black cable (negative) in positive place of battery.

This for 20 minutes approximate.

Now try to charge with normal polarity (without phone during 30 minutes).

Put your battery in your phone and charge normally.

I repeat, this is the last option before change the battery.

For good maintenance of battery not allow low than 15% or more than 90%

Does anyone know how to apply themes properly? No theme seems to be really functioning correctly, overlays don't install correctly.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] mangesh57:
Yeah.. it's bit complicated.

1. Select theme to install

2. Press build and update

3. Once done, it will ask for reboot. Reboot the phone.

4. Once booted, open substratum again

5. Go to manager tab. Select all overlays.

6. Select change overlay state option from bottom right circle icon.

This will apply theme for you.

Hope this helps.

Substratum themes still do not work properly because of some poor written Oneplus OS.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ipred:
Samsung doesn't let us change the color of the white navbar buttons-> Result:Burn in!

I really cannot understand the decision of Samsung not to provide the option of changing the color of the white navbar icons.

I use black themes and wallpapers for 1 year now. Black wallpapers and themes appear great on amoled screens and also help the battery life.

In order for the navigation bar to match my black interface, i turned the navigation bar to black.

The problem is that all these months the navbar is black but the navbar icons are white.

So

after 1 year of light use i got a burn in

of the icons of the navbar and i have to ask for a screen replacement.

If Samsung had given me choice, i would have set dark grey color for the navbar icons and i wouldn't had burn in. Someone can say that it's my fault because i turn the navbar to black so the contrast with the white icons was too big. Others could say "why didn't you hide completely the navbar? To these type of questions i reply with a question : Was it so difficult for Samsung to give an option to choose a color for the icons of the navbar???? Is it bad to prefer black interface on amoled displays which have exactly this advantage compared to the lcds???

I really hope that someone in Samsung will see this post. It's the first time i am thinking of giving up the amoled displays. In the past i didn't have such a problem because the navbar was outside the screen. Now with the bezeless screens, the navbar burn in issue is more easy to appear.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Rex01:
Just hide navbar or remove it with root/adb
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ipred:
If you read my post, you ll see that the meaning of it is not the solution "just hide it". And if it is more practical for me to have it shown as it is by default? What is the answer of Samsung on this? "Well, we couldn't provide the option to change the color of the navigation buttons, we haven't the knowledge that developers of play store have ( there are navigation bars which let the user change the color of the buttons), sorry for the burn-in" ???

Has anyone totally disabled the navbar and replaced it with one of the play store? I personally hide the stock, installed one from the play store, but when i enter an app, the interface of the app doesn't move up, so the buttons of the navigation bar fall inside the app's interface.

Samsung want that your screen will burn and you buy a always the newest phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SixArmedPriest:
I use Gesture Controls app and disable the nav bar. However one solution is you can download an overlay that changes the buttons to the Pixel buttons and sets there color to a dark grey. That's what I had been using before the gesture control. Numerous options on Substratum as well. Good luck!
