Especially since the TPU case and screen protector can't have cost OP more than a couple of bucks.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] gino79:
I have both. When I compare the two, the only thing that sticks out for me between the note 8 and the one plus is the screen and form factor of the note 8. I love the note 8 screen. But thats it. In my opinion, the note 8 is waaaaay too slow for me. Tons of features, but pointless with all the lag. I love the oneplus cuz it's simple, fast, and so much more fun to use. Plus, Im a big fan of stock Android. Samsung is great, but can be too much at times.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Aspiranteh:
I've been playing PUBG Mobile for a while now and wanted to ask you how you find the performance on our Samsung S8.

When I had Android Nougat it really sucked (a problem that shouldn't happen, because of the great potential of our phone). However, now that I have Android Oreo I can play normally and without problems, but I still find that I should run better because I have seen it installed in cell phones of lower capacity and have more fluidity.

Someone who plays it and knows some trick to get 100% potential out of our S8?.

Hello

I have an s8 with custom pie ( hades rom ), max setting are hd and high fram rate, while rooting and removing all bloatware etc...

Just download gfx tools there is a paid and free version, i played it on smooth graphics 60 fps no lag at all, remember that internet speed plays a big role.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] LASERBEEMS:
Hi, I know this is super late but what I've found about gaming on the s8 is that there is absolutely nothing that will affect the performance of the phone or your experience of the game more than thermal throttling. I tried for weeks to fix my lag problems with all kinds of kernel tweaks, network teaks, getting rid of background processes and trying to keep my ram free and was totally stumped until I realized just how much my cpu was being supressed by thermal throttling. Download GameBench to get an overlay of your in game frames per second (you should be able to get a constant 60 fps no problem until the throttling sets in) and get Simple System Monitor to monitor your thermal sensors and cpu frequencies. You should start to see an immediate correlation between your fps drops and your and clock speeds and temperatures. If your phone is rooted you can use Kernel Adiutor to set your cpu govoner to performance (it just locks your cpu at max clockspeed). This will make the throtting very easy to see in simple system monitor because you can see how your max clock speed is gradually stepped down as thermal engine overrides the govoner.

Now for the fix. If your S8 is a exynos you are a lucky b***ard and you can probably find a software solution for disabling thermal throttling like with a custom kernel or by editing a few system files. If your stuck with a locked bootloader like I am on the snapdragon s8 than the only solution is to actually keep your phone cool while gaming. I use ice packs wrapped in a paper towel. They only last about 30-40 mins so you may need several ice packs and keep them in rotation. Whatever cooling solution you use just make sure its not too extreme or too sudden as rapid changes in temperature are not great for electronics. That's why I use a paper towel as a bit of a buffer between the phone and the ice pack. Works great for me and I maintain 60 fps all game.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arniept:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floralpastel:
Hi,

I have a ZTE Blade X Max. I factory resetted it and go to the stage of inputting the same google account the was synced with the device previously which I don't have. However, I know that some people are able to bypass that by going to the settings on the Google keyboard. The problem I have at the moment is that the keyboard on the phone is not a Google keyboard, there's not button that will lead me to settings.

Is the phone useless now? What can I do?

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] PeterCiulla:
I know my post count is low, but I did a lot of searching first and couldn't find anything (I'm new here, but not new to forums).

I am using WMP in WM6 to play my music and I've noticed that under the "Artist" category listing in my Library, it lists everyone from the Album Artist tag as well as the Contributing Artist tag. This drives me nuts because it ends up with a ton different artists and combinations of multiple artists listed.

Is there any way to get WMP to only list the Album Artist tag under the "Artist" category in the Library. I can't find a setting in the options, but maybe there is a registry setting I can change?

If it matters I've got a Tilt running the AT&T WM6 rom.

Thanks in advance,

Pete
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] BillyTheBull:
music library management

I don't have the answer to your problem, I'm afraid, but a related issue I thought I might add here:

I can't seem to figure out how to change artist/album info in WMP on my device, yet somehow it seems to change it on some of my files (although the info was already there . . . weird?!??). I usually transfer whole albums at a time directly from my computer into the library folder on my storage card (bypassing the WMP sync function); any ideas why WMP mobile would change my ID tag info, and how I can keep it from doing so?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] moederfietser:
Hi Pete,

I don't know if there is a way to solve the problem the way you want it, but I keep my music library managed by making playlists using a tool called Playlisteditor. Making a playlist only costs a second and it is a way to solve your problem. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] pauliusba:
No, it isn't. The point of using WMP anyway is the library, which lists every contributing artist combination as a separate artist.

Album Artist: Something

Artist ("contributing"): Something/Featured artist/featured artist 2

It should group by album artist, if WMP can't even handle Microsoft's own WMP contributing artist sintax. :mad:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Blakestr:
If you wonder if it sucks to have 5-6 years of no-hassle tethering then go to 1.5 years of no tether because the root community fragmented out your phone model/build, then you are right, it does suck, a lot.

Never EVER getting a phone with a locked bootloader again. Ever. Jesus why did I get this phone. Sprint wants 10-20$ dollars to use my existing data on another screen? ooo that frosts me.

Please tell me that, no Blakestr, you are wrong. Here is the easy solution. Don't worry if an OTA snuck through your phone, this will still work.

PDA net has not worked at all, it doens't generate an SSID, even though I downloaded the apk from their website. Don't have option to use USB tether (this is for one of those chinese android units (atoto) so I can have internet from my phone when I drive.

I'm pretty sure there is a hotspot hack that works on the current rom.

I'm still on the original rom,

I blocked updates to prevent my hotspot hack being 'fixed' via OTA ROM.

But, I keep seeing threads about hotspot hack after ota updates.

I'm on my phone posting this,

So linking kinda difficult.

Search this GS7+ sprint forum

And the GS7 sprint forum.

This Thead for NON-ROOT methods for root tricks.

This one still works on my S7 Edge with the June 22 update. I believe if your Sprint phone is UICC unlocked by Sprint, you can also edit The APN setting, at least I could after I had them unlock it.

HI.

Although the change log clearly states that the face unlock is activated with the 370 update , it is not working .When hitting the face unlock option (which now appears...), it leads to the 3 old options : Pattern, Face , Password.

Is someone is facing the same bug?

Thank you.
[Huawei Mate 9 Pro Questions & Answers] j0hn83:
Working perfect here. It's amazingly responsive, even in the dark. I forget about it sometimes and the phone unlocks quicker than I can place my thumb on the sensor.

It makes me enter my pattern before letting me in to that option. Do you have a pattern set?
[Huawei Mate 9 Pro Questions & Answers] H10N3:
Maybe it's the same as with the fingerprint unlock, where you need to have a password, PIN or pattern set before you can enroll you fingerprints?

[General Questions and Answers] Alex_2259:
I downgraded & unlocked my note 4's bootloader (SM-N910V) using this process: https://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/general/stabilized-process-to-unlock-bootloader-t3375527

I checked for an EMMC BrickBug using the app, and it said I was good to go.

And yes, I did remove the SD card, both the one I used to unlock the bootloader, as well as the SD card I keep my ROMs on. The phone doesn't like to mount using TWRP all the time via USB.

It is the second time I have done the process, as the first time I encountered the same exact issues and went back to stock and upgraded as my brother requested. I did the exact same process before, and I got a bootloop on LineageOS, CyanogenMod, and a few random ROMs. The stock TouchWiz is terrible, this is attempt #2. Oddly enough, the bootloader did appear to re-lock itself when I upgraded, as I had to repeat the unlock process to get it to let me flash TWRP.

Before I installed LineageOS (https://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/lineageos-t3557795) I first tried the default wipe, wiping Data, Cache and Dalvik. I then flashed the ROM. I got around 30min of the boot animation, and eventually it just shut off.

With CyanogenMod, I did the same process, and got around 4 hours of the boot animation, but no shutoff. That same thing happens with most other ROMs aside from Lineage.

I have also repeated the process with 3 ROMs, but advanced wiped Dalvik/ART Cache, system, data, cache and internal storage (only after attempting the first thing right after the bootloader unlock was done) and got the same result. I have no clue what the hell is going on with the device, and I couldn't find anything online.

I plan to try this rom: https://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/development/rom-paulpizz-rom-t3360469 but I rather avoid stock based ROMs. The phone is at work, and I will attempt it tomorrow to see if it gets me anywhere - that'd be a bandaid as opposed to a fix though - if it does work.

Hello,

I'm with a problem for update my games. I start the download, and when it's 100%, the download down to 50%, and keep download, and this is a loop, after some time, i get an error (error 492). Searching in Google, looks like this error in Storage/Android/Obb, and this is interesting, because apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, Chrome, update without problem. But my games, like PUBG, SHADOWNGUN and Shadow Fight 3 don't update, and they data are in Android/Obb. Anyone can help me ?

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Musti222:
Hi guys,

so i just had my Honor 8 on Android 7 (EMUI 5.0?) rooted and unlocked but wanted to unroot and relock. I used a tutorial for that but i think i made a mistake.

Now I stuck on the honor 8 bootscreen. I can enter fastmode and the recovery but my battery is always low.

I used the rollback package but it didnt install. Also a factory reset from the stock recovery doesnt work.

I also tried a method from here where you flash the cust.img boot.img recovery.img and the system.img from the stock an then flash the Update.app via eRecovery but this also didnt work. It stucks at 5% and does nothing. I am also not able to get to the eRecovery without pluging in the usb into the pc.

Is there any possibility to save my honor? Data's all saved.

I tried it with the rollback package, the B101 and B131 i think.

Thanks,

[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] giorgoxxi:
So now that the Oppo Find X is out, which phone do you think is the "bezel-less" king?

I actually prefer the Nex. The Find X looks better, but it only has the camera to unlock, and given the amount of times I unlock the phone a day, I don't trust the mechanism. You also need to popup for the rear cameras, and it seems to take a while to launch the viewfinder.

The popup for the Nex selfie camera is better unless you are constantly taking selfies during the day (who does that?). Also I prefer the under glass fingerprint scanner to facial recognition. And as a plus, it has an even bigger battery.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] cho9736:
oppo find x would be slightly more expensive tho, but probably a better camera

but vivo get better audio, headphone jack!! and hifi
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
[MENTION=5055345]giorgoxxi[/MENTION]

Just as you mentioned,for the looks & WOW factor,I think the OPPO Find X has the VIVO NEX beat hands down.

Otherwise,the only other area that is a definitive win for the Find X is more LTE Bands,but,there should be enough for most users on either phone.

http://phonedb.net/index.php?m=devi...l_sim_td-lte_cn_256gb__nex_ultimate__bbk_apex

http://phonedb.net/index.php?m=device&id=13498&c=oppo_find_x_dual_sim_td-lte_apac_pafm00__paft00

http://phonedb.net/index.php?m=device&s=compare

The NEX has the Find X beat in price & while I think I'd like using the Find X,the novelty of the slider would fade quickly (I don't lock my phone or take selfies,so,the Find X slider would get little use anyway).

Another area that the NEX is a better choice for me is that I don't care for the curved screen edges of the Find X,the NEX doesn't appear to have the curves.

If I'd waited one more day,perhaps I'd be in a wait & see mode,but,I ordered the NEX the very day before the Find X was introduced & don't regret it.

Who knows,by the time the Find X actually goes up for sale (8/2018),there may be another pop-up/slider or,another take on the full-screen phone ready to hit the street.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] monoke:
Yeah curve screens still annoy me cuz I do watch videos a bit and the image always appear narrower than it is. Prone to accidental side touches and the glares.. Ugh.

But of these two, I do think the slide mechanism is more refined, seamless in the Oppo instead of a tiny dongle of Vivo. However I think it's a mistake to put one too many functions/sensors in there. Cameras are fine, but to not have fps and have an intrinsic function like secure unlocking dependant on the mechanism is too much imo. I do like the ultra cool paint job of its back vs the Nex glared pattern which I don't care for.

I'm confident though the Nex is the right device for me due to features it has which the Oppo doesn't ie. headphone jack, DAC, fps Scanner(wish it was all lower screen like the concept tho), bigger battery, thinner, more affordable. Perfect solution for me would just be the Nex but having the same back paint application of the Oppo and I'd be a happy dude! Lol!
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] paatha13:
Much prefer Vivo Nex over Oppo.

1.Bigger battery capacity.

2.Audio jack 3.5 and DAC support

3.Prefer 3d scanner under screen as completely new technology than 3d iris recognition(i do have over 2.5 years both surface pro 4 and now surface book that have iris scanner recognition but think its much preferd to laptop/ultrabook over smartphone)

4.Im really fall in love with rainbow effect glass back on Vivo Nex:D
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] 01alim:
The Vivo for me.

I very much dislike curved screens after using the S7 Edge for few years. When I see a 'flat screen' phone like the Pixel 2, I get a bit jelly. I miss those...

I don't find the Oppo looks any more attractive than Vivo's to be honest. So I don't have anything going for it. But all the positives listed above are just cherry on top after looking at the prices that they will likely be entering the market at. I don't want to spend a grand on a phone, I'm not there in life yet unfortunately. And even if it wasn't that expensive, I don't think I'd even care all that much for the Find X. Mainly cos of that damn curve!
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] mahst68:
Yep just ordered mine. I was going wait for the Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer but I can always get that later. I think this is definitely a much more user friendly phone as it is leveraging a new design element to make the screen better but not making it an absolute if it failed. The Oppo would be useless if the mechanism failed where as with the Nex I just can’t take selfies. Plus larger battery and underscreen fimgerprint scanner put it over the top. IMO
