My biggest complaint as well. I have both the glossy black and matte grey, and the grey is so much nicer. No fingerprints, and nowhere near as slippery as the glossy black one
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00434:
When I ordered I didn't notice the grey was matte. Probably could take fine sandpaper and turn this into matte. Did that with a LG G2 and it worked great, but that was plastic.

Think I'll go with the Incipio dualpro case instead, just for the screen drop protection.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Eventually I"m sure they'll add the setting to go full immersive like they had in oreo under dev settings. I kinda can't wait. That was my favorite thing about running AOSiP and RR, and almost makes me want to go back and just use the gestures app on one of those.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00434:
The full immersive mode on Oreo is ok for certain things, but on videos you have to zoom in every single time, not a natural fit thus why I'm a 16:9 fan ?

But that is better than nothing!!!

I really wish Google would have gone all in on gestures AKA Blackberry OS 10. This phone is perfect for that!
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] rignfool:
Switch back to the P beta for MOAR gestures
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00434:
I'm on 8.1... I'll wait for stable P, thanks though.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Honestly, the gestures are so half baked, that is why I'm using the xda app even though I'm on p. The nav bar still being there means you gain no extra space (they could have at least made it transparent. Tried navbar apps but there is no transparency option), and the back button looks ridiculous.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] droidstyle:
No...I'm using command bar app that allows full immersive mode. No Nav bar or status bar with any app or desktop mode unless you swipe the screen on finger print sensor. I have full screen from top to bottom all the time.

Yeah I have the Halo Gray...it's a matte finish. I really like it.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestK00434:
Could you point me to the app you're talking about? Does it need root? I'm not planning on root.... But.....

I haven't found an app that works with the fingerprint sensor, and the immersive mode apps aren't worth it, at least the ones that I have tried. Thanks
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
It leaves a black bar for me like any other app. Are you on Android p?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] droidstyle:
No I am on stock 8.1unlocked and rooted..no black bars.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] crixley:
Oh, stock has the notch setting in dev options anyway so yeah I knew that worked even without an app.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] droidstyle:
Ahh yes you get a black bar if you don't use the notch area. I prefer to use it since it expands the screen
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmtdeep:
I am trying to port Andriod O to my Oneplus 5. I know there is an existing and well-worked LOS/MOKEE for Oneplus 5, but I am trying to do it myself entirely, using the existing one as an example for study. So I can port LOS/MOKEE to my Xiaomi 8 SE ( sirius, SDM710).

I get some information that if you are porting Andriod to a device having no existing LOS/MOKEE supported, you can start it with CAF AOSP. And this is what I am doing.

Now, what I can do is :

* knowing Oneplus 5's OOS-BETA12 is based on LA.UM.6.4.r1-06100-8x98.0 (CAF AOSP version)

* use repo to download a single project of LA.UM.6.4.r1-06100-8x98.0 (like project under device/ , hardware/ , vender/ )

How can I build a device tree for LOS/MOKEE from CAF-AOSP device tree?

Is there someone can help me? Thank you!

Hello,

just come over to ask, want to buy my wife and me new phones and found the xiaomi redmi note 5 (global version).

Specs are good enought for us, so want to buy it and want (of course) flash lineageOS but now i am confused with devicename...

Will it be whyred or vince?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] nekher:
Are 2 different phones.

Vince : snapdragon 626

Whyred: snapdragon 636

If on doubt check processor
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] sgspluss:
Well its wired anyway, because the processor is 636 so as you say it has to be whyred, but after looking for twrp it say xaiomi redmi note 5 pro instead xiaomi redmi note 5 (missing pro). Is it the same device, dont want to brick the devices...

[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Nidhal AKA the king:
hi everyone....

please help me to fix this error on the internal memory of Xperia Tipo: memory unmounted or unavailable. mount memory to continue.

I do not have any MicroSD card in my phone... it's the internal memory!

my tipo is rooted BL unlocked... running a custom rom: Xperia Marshmallow based on ICS build .27

whenever i try to open the camera, or the Album gallery i get this error: memory unmounted or unavailable. mount memory to continue.

also some other apps pops a message stating that there is no memory...

....when i go to Storage and try to click Unmount SD card... unmouting keeps loading, takes forever, and nothing happens!

When click on factory reset (erase internal memory) -> i get this error: SD card has been removed

I have done format internal thru TWRP.... and still nothing happened, and i keep getting the same error!

I contacted the ROM creator , and he doesn't know how to fix this problem!

i think when he created this ROM, he messed up something related to the internal memory!

PLEASE ANYONE HAS AN IDEA.... how to fix that? which file(s) is related to the internal memory in the ROOT directory....

any help or suggestion will be so much appreciated!

THANK YOU ALL
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] javed2f:
Did u try changing data partition to ext4? Through twrp.. If u didnt, then try change file system to ext2 and change again ext4.. Ur internal memory will be wiped so do backup before doing this. Then make fresh install custom rom.
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Nidhal AKA the king:
i didn't change or touch anything... i just flashed the ROM as is.... now, im in the twrp, and i noticed that the FS is on ext3 , and there is no ext2 to switch to it... only the ext4....

what should i do?
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Nidhal AKA the king:
Take a look at the attached picture to understand more.. Thank you
[Sony Cross-Device Development Themes and Apps] Nidhal AKA the king:
... I noticed something, and this might make it more clear for you as you understand better than me about fs, partitions... Etc

I put a microSD card in the phone, and booted to system... Now the camera, album gallery and everything else works... BUT WHAT THAT MEANS?

The internal memory only detected when a microsd card is inserted!

Please explain to me... THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR HELP

The easiest one would be the US unlocked us996, which is bootloader unlockable from LG directly.

But, be aware that all us996 are not directly bootloader unlockable. There are different variants, and I don't know how to tell them apart.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] TheForgotten:
My phone is a Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred), 3GB RAM model, running MIUI Global9.5.19.0(OEMIMIFA). I already waited the 360H requested but still I can't unlock it.

Most of the times I get a (-1) error, others I get a chinese error, either at 99% or 50% but, when I don't get any of these, the message I get says my account can't unlock this device which doesn't make sense, I already connected that account on the phone, went on developer settings and enabled USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking, and added my account in Mi Unlock State. Also I connected to the Mi Cloud and made sure everything was synced. Any ideas?

[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] cle_m_ent:
Hello everyone,

Before I buy this Smartphone, I would like to know one thing. I have a private sim and a professional sim.

In my car, in bluetooth, I can naturally call one other another people, like private or pro.

Is possible to say :

People A -> call only with sim 1

People B -> call only with sim 2 ?

My goal is to not touch my phone anymore.

Thanks.

Subsidiary question, root possible ? Rom community seems to be very poor. Good idea to buy a Mate 10 Pro after a galaxy S7 ?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] DANDANA:
I don't think you can assign contacts to SIMs, but when you call someone you have an option to chose SIM 1 or SIM2. If you don't click one, it will ring on the last SIM you've used for that contact.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Someone12321:
So, I have a OnePlus 6 and when I got it first, I use my Meteor card so I had to cut it to make it smaller and now I bought a micro SIM card from Meteor 'Eir' but my phone can't read it or something since I can't call people and it says I can only make emergency calls.

Please help.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Vivasanti:
May be silly question but do you need to activate the sim first, have you tried it in another slot?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] geoff5093:
You need a nano SIM for the OP6. If you got a micro SIM and cut it down but it won't read it, you probably cut it incorrectly.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] maddler:
Does the phone detect the SIM at all?

But yes, as Geoff pointed out, if you did cut the SIM chances are you damaged it. Better get a nano card instead.

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] kir89:
Hi everyone,

I am seriously considering buying the Moto Z2 Force as a replacement of my old Moto X 2014 (I still love it but my screen got a bit shattered one year ago:crying:).

The only thing that is holding me back is that screen peeling problem I heard of. So, after reading some threads I would like to see how spread the problem is by proposing you this survey.

In case you had the issue, it would be very useful for me to know how you solved (got a replacement, removed the shutterproof screen protector, ...?)

Thanks a lot!:)
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] kir89:
Here I am, replying to my own survey!

Unfortunately, not as I would like to...

I bought it and on day 2 I noticed this issue https://youtu.be/KfEjQWtvckQ which is how everything starts I suppose...?? So, I think this will be a "In the first month case".

Now I have to think of what to do:

Keep it and wait for it... (what then?!)

Send it back to seller asking for a refund => Buy another model, other brand (It would be really sad though) :(

Send it back to seller asking for a change with another one (what if the new one will have the same issue?)

Removing somehow the screen protector and the glue (any tutorials? Will it void the warranty?)

Any suggestion is much appreciated :)

Thanks a lot
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] doubledragon5:
I knot sure what that video was suppose to show. But to me it showed nothing of importance.. I have had my z2 Force for about 2 months with no issues.. Use a screen protector or a case with one, and you should have zero issues.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] kir89:
The video is supposed to show a problem with the shattershield screen where the outer screen protector lense is detached from the inner layer.

Some people on Lenovo forums reported screen peeling issue after experiencing something like the video shows.

On the same forum, some other people claim they had a screen protector on when the peeling started.

Anyway, I contacted Motorola Support and they:

Confirmed that if you remove the outer layer, the warranty is permanently voided for the whole phone... Not good

Suggested me to refer to the seller for a substitution since I am in the first two weeks after buying the phone

Still deciding what to do...
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] kir89:
I tried the tempered glass screen protector I ordered.

It doesn't adhere correctly on the top of the screen but especially on the bottom, near the fingerprint scanner.

So, the screen is not perfectly flat.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] doubledragon5:
I purchased a Otter Box Defender, and that might be why I have no issues.. On my G5 Plus I had a Otter Box commuter and a screen protector and they worked well as well.. If your nervous about that pone, best bet might be to replace with a different model.. I sure as hell would. Good luck.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] allrightlite:
Have the same issue and can hear that. But it seems to be normal. I can push in the screen a little bit. I think it's not the original foil of the top, which is pelling. I think it's hearable because it's plastic and elastic. I can see (by screen on) that's not the foil while I'm pressing the screen in. It's more the complete screen. Would it be the foil, I wouldn't see what I see by pushing in the screen. Plastic is easly elastic. That's all.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] kir89:
Here is an update.

Yesterday I received the other plastic screen protector I ordered.

It fits perfectly, since it's not as rigid as glass.

Since many of you have the same "clicking" noise while pressing the screen, I think I will try to use it in the next days to see how it goes. I have some weeks to think about keeping it or sending it back to the seller.

Hope everything will be ok, I'll keep you updated :)
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] allrightlite:
It's not the foil, right? That's the plastic which is"clicking". I'm short-sighted and I'm pretty sure that I can see that's just elastic at the bottom. Looks so that the foil is ok and 100% save on the screen. But it's nice to have a elastic screen :laugh: No scratches after month. So, don't need a screen protector. The quality seems good. It's like wings of a airplane. Elastic, too :D And there is all ok, too. Normally ;)
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] kir89:
I am not sure it's the foil or not... However, I don't think is the screen which is moving, that's probably more a refraction effect. We should ask to those that removed the protection layer, if they where experiencing this and after the removal it stopped.

Foil or not, if the "clicking" sound is so common even in devices without peeling issues, I will give it a try.

I just need to use it, only time will say if it was a good idea to keep it :fingers-crossed:
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] allrightlite:
Screen is moving down at the bottom, for me it's 100% so. And if I do it carefully, I can see it without hearing it. But yes, would be nice if anyone can test it without the foil. But, I can trust what I see, all real. So, it's the plastic. Hope anyone else can confirm this.

Another problem, what I have seen. I have burn in at the bottom. The navigation buttons keeps/burn in. Now I have set up the moto fingerprint navigation and it should gone next time. And that's really good. Works very well. And the space of the screen is now bigger, nice effect.

But, good to know with the burn in. This smartphones are made for a short time, maybe 2 years. On my computer monitor I have never seen burn ins like that. So, it's a market/business. Screen not made for working over years :rolleyes:

And what really is very very good is the battery. Have last time good 8.5-9h sot. So, that's better than many people think.

But back to the screen. That's the topic here. Maybe we have to bring it to the repair center after 1.5 years. Maybe because burn ins, peeling and so on. We will see :rolleyes:

If you guys do the warranty replacement through Motorola and not your carrier they will send you a new moto z2 force with a 2nd gen screen if you ask em about it. They have a fix for it lol I just got mine back and it's totally different
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] allrightlite:
Ok, maybe I have a newer one. Here no scratches after months. Foil ok. Just the clicker at pushing. You don't hear that on your device? Which versions are 2. generation, after which produce date?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] ninjakira:
What am I supposed to be hearing on my device lol? And idk I just personally call it a 2nd gen screen cause it's easier to explain it like that to the people that I live around in my area ??there not to bright lol. I do know it's not the original shatter screen stuff that was peeling. it honestly was pretty hard for me to understand what my moto agent was saying to me when he explained it so I only caught bits and pieces. My model number is still xt1789-04 TMobile variant. I don't have a clicker also

Hello I just checked some one click root apps from here https://www.xda-developers.com/best-one-click-root-2018/

but the Root Master page that is linked, while it seems legit and all it downloaded an app that is in Chinese or something that looked different than the screenshots. Something that I noticed later.

I tried to use it but the chinese didn't helped match.

Now I'm a bit scared that maybe this app did something malicious to my phone because it wanted permission to write in SD.

Am I just paranoid? Can anyone confirm about this app?

The link is in the original XDA link above.
[About XDA developers] Ibuprophen:
I don't use the Root Master myself and I had went to check out the article you referenced.

I selected the Root Master website and it looked like I was taken to the appropriate website that was all in English for myself.

I them selected the download link from step 1 on the instructions and it downloaded the app.

I then took a quick look into the apk file and did not notice anything out of the ordinary myself.

I'm not stating that you didn't experience what you had expressed but, I'm just providing you with what I had found.

To hopefully help you out, here's the links I was taken to so you can see/compare with what you had experienced.

Everything seems legit till the time I run the apk, the page seems fine, the download seems to have to name that the download link says, but the reported apk size is 4MB and the downloaded one is around 2,5MB.

The problem is inside, the app have some short of cartoon characters and everything is in Chinese.

I will check back today if indeed I was redirected to some shady download with the same name.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryFlavour:
Alright guys,

Over the past couple days I've been consistently trying to root my Pixel 2 XL. Everything seems to be going fine until I reach the very last step of the root; flashing the patched boot image. Upon entering the command "*./fastboot flash boot patched\_boot.img*" into Windows Powershell, I am greeted with the following error messages (they seem to vary every attempt):

***fastboot: error: Failed to identify current slot***

***Sending 'boot' FAILED (remote: unknown command)***

Along with those, there's another error that says something about reaching the maximum file size. **My bootloader is both unlocked and critical unlocked.**

I've done some research and a few people seemed to have luck playing around with their USB ports (switching out cables and such) - unfortunately this method did not work for me.

I would *extremely* appreciate any help on this as I would love to get the problem solved.
