It was explained for you in an earlier post. YOUR PHONE WILL NOT WORK IN THE USA BECAUSE ALL USA CARRIERS USE THE SAME BLACKLIST. YOU WOULD HAVE TO MOVE OUT OF THE COUNTRY OR FIND SOMEONE OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTRY TO PURCHASE IT OFF OF YOU.

Oh ok, well now that you say it in all caps lock, it makes sense.......

Well you didn't understand when someone typed it normally so...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Nickdroid86:
Right but it still doesn't explain if you're just saying that because it's unethical, or actually impossible. Because like I said there's companies out there with decent reviews that claim they can fix this issue....

I don't know anything about bypassing IMEI bans, but I would *assume* that there's some sort of rule on XDA about discussing things of that nature.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] annoyingduck:
This is simple. Be sure you have all your info together about the seller. Print out all correspondences, screen shot and print out any communications (texts, call logs, etc), write down all of the phones info clearly (IMEI, model, etc, etc). Bring that paperwork to the police (don't bring the phone at this time) and file a report. Take said report and contact Google. Email them all of the info including the police report. Wait to hear from Google. Chances are good they will offer some form of assistance, possibly an offer to send in the phone for full reformatting if no one has made claim to that phones IMEI. They may offer a discount on another device. They may tell you to go pound sand. Either way, that's your best/only option at this point.

You are now venturing into territory that is very much frowned upon by XDA moderators. Not giving you a hard time, just a heads up.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Nickdroid86:
I agree, if anyone has info please pm me. Feel free to close the thread.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The blacklist is IMEI-based. If he could find a loose motherboard or a damaged device with an intact motherboard, he could get a working device out of it.

Swapping motherboards is completely legal as you're not altering the device's low-level firmware to try and avoid a blacklist. These companies claiming to be able to "clean" an IMEI are full of it. They are using equipment to modify the IMEI, which has been established as being illegal.

Two weeks ago in the Verizon root bounty thread I pointed out the ramifications of changing the IMEI, which are a hefty fine, a lengthy prison sentence, or both. The fact a lot of us are broke is why we don't discuss how to do it, and try to avoid thinking about it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Nickdroid86:
That is great information and insight. I appreciate you taking the time to enlighten me on that info.

I unloacked my boot loader and rooted my device but after that i am facing different problems. My phone heats up quickly. Slows down. Google playstore force closed and cant copy text to clipboard which is weird.

If i flash elementalx kernel camera doesn't work. There are so many firmwares available which is confusing. Can anyone tell me which firmware/rom should i flash in twrp. Which stock rom/ firmware version?
[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bigAL99:
Thought I'd share my experience with installing these sounds mods. I have been able to install Viper4arise via magisk and it's working great and has made a difference over my Bluetooth headphones.

If I then try to install Dolby atmos then the phone goes into bootloop. Between the warning screen and the white HTC screen. Same happened when installing with TWRP.

You just have to be patient it seams that if you wait it stops bootlooping and sits on the white HTC screen and at that point you can hold down the power button followed by the volume down button to get to recovery.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
I think the point was that when you create a new XDA thread the title is supposed to tell members what the thread is about. People need to open your thread to find out what it's about. Since I don't do any video recording I wouldn't have looked at this thread if it had been titled properly.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tze_vitamin:
I dont think that I understand the best question because of my low knowledge of English language.

When I open Odin and install stock firmware,I dont have problems.

When I set up system and install everything, I check for system update, there I have update that I can download ,When I download update and try to install or update the phone,I get restart and update failed. I can not install update.

Then when I go to stock recovery there I have message :

Dm-verify verification failed

Check dm first.. (Something like that)

When I turn on phone,I dont have message : set warranty bit kernel.

Phone is not rooted.

It was before,and when I want go to back to stock firmware,I stuck with this,can not install latest update.

I use Smart Switch and with that program I install update,but in stock recovery I still have message:

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] LTKred:
Hey guys,

So I've not experienced this before on any other devices with my sim card, but for some reason a lot of the time the name of my network carrier shows up as "505 015" rather "Belong" that it should be showing as.

Has anyone else experienced this at all for their network or something similar?

I'm in Australia, using Belong network, which is an MVNO of Telstra.

I've checked the network bands for 3G and 4G and the device has majority of them covered, so not entirely sure what the issue could be?

Signal wise, I seem to be getting around the same as I would with other devices, so there's not really a signal issues that I can tell, just an odd name it's showing up as, although I've only noticed it at home where the signal is low due to indoor coverage being poor in my area.

Thanks :good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakobas:
I've been searching extensively for an answer though I couldn't find one.

I'm currently testing an app, which is running on from android 4 to android 7. I wanted to find out whether it would be possible IN ANY WAYS to download a database from the root folder without knowing the PIN code, USB debugging set to off and without root.

Is that in any way possible (Android 4-7)?

After that, since I'm pretty sure I have no way of uploading the files back in to the system, I'll do a factory reset, the PIN code will be removed and I will enable USB debugging re-download the app and replace the databases with the ones I've downloaded.

How should the pushing phase work out? Rooting the phone isn't an option.

Thanks a lot
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] rorrE907:
Hello everyone,

A few days ago I tried to root my A5 2017(A520F). I needed to wipe my data to be able to root my phone, but I accidently deleted my whole system. When I try to flash a original filmware with odin I get this message: Set partition(nand write). I searched for that error on the internet and people said I needed to use a pit file. So I got a pit file and tried to flash it with the filmware but that didn't help. Do I use the wrong pit with the filmware? What can I do to get my phone back to life? I have TWRP and I can get into download mode.

Thanks in advance.

[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] alinescoo:
Hi all,

I've been looking to get a device on the Android One program and after a lot of reading and reviews I need to decide between Nokia 7 Plus and Xiaomi A2.

I have a few question for Nokia 7 Plus owners:

1. I see that on other devices, in order to use gcam mod, camera2api needs to be enabled and that requires bootloader unlock and root. How is on Nokia?

2. How does the device feel in hand? Is it slippery? Easy to use hold in one hand?

3. How are updates on Nokia devices? I see that they are pretty quick in updating. Are the updates stable?

4. Are there any software/hardware problems related to this model? I see some users complaining about auto-brightness, sound problems, freezing, restarts...

Basically Xiaomi A2 is a considerably cheaper, uses the same hardware, cameras I think are comparable. So should I take the Nokia or not? I am not interested in nfc, sdcard, headphones jack.

Thank you for your time.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Rubens95:
I know that xiaomi mi a2 has a very short battery life
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Rajeev:
1) You don't need to root or unlock bootloader inorder to use Gcam in Nokia 7+. Because Camera2 API is already enabled. Simply install Gcam and enjoy.

2) Its fantastic. Not that slippery. Using it without any case. (But surely need one for protection). One hand use is ok. After few days we can easily use with onehand ( Tobe honest In-hand feel is better in A2)

3). Yes. Updates are stable and faster . Not like Xiaomi Android One Program.

4) Only older batch. Nothing in new.

I suggest u to take Nokia 7+. Because i am an old user of Mi A1 and totally disappointed with the update..

Only downside of Nokia 7+ is development. May be in future it will change. But now development sucks.. If u really need development like custom kernels or roms and blah blah then Nokia 7+ is not for you.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] divvykev:
1. A lot of phones are moving towards locked bootloaders now using security as an excuse. I used to root all my phones but Android has developed so far now that I find I no longer need to.

2. Phones feels ok for me.

3. Well. I had a 6.1 which was stuck on May update and Nokia Care blamed carriers etc etc etc. So I upgraded to a 7 Plus and now I cant get updates because I tried out the Pie preview. I get the feeling HMD have nobody who fully understands updates. They keep telling you to be patient.

4. I have found no problems with this phone or the 6.1

There you go. The Nokia phones are ok when they work. When they dont you will struggle to get hold of someone in customer service who know what they are doing.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] alinescoo:
Thank you all, I really appreciate your feedback. Given all the info read, here I can list the pros and cons based on what I need

A2

+ good feel in hand

+ about 25% cheaper in my country

+ notification led

- that camera bump looks like it's annoying if using it on desk

- no way to use gcam without root and bootloader unlock, which is something I don't want to do.

- no double tap to wake

+/- the software remains to be seen... A1 wasn't really great in that department

7Plus

+ double tape to wake

+ better screen quality

+ stable software with quick updates

+ google camera works without root

- like 25% more expensive

- not sure the looks in live preview with the copper accent.

- finger print scanner seems a bit too high

- no notification led and glance uses battery since it has LCD

- bulkier and heavier

Interesting on the camera between the two. Both cameras seem ok. Some say that on nokia is a bit better, probably with gcam even better.

Looks like nokia has more advantages but I agree it's a bit too pricier.

Thank you again for your thoughts and time.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] k3dar7:
I haveonly ONE problem withNokia (7plus) => Bootloader is NOT unlockable (not officialy, and neoficialy/payed method as o read, stop working with August updates)

I really miss TWRP and ROOT, andalso notgwowing devcomunity...

2. feel in hand is excelent, also i use transparent case in box (maybe not in all country/distribution?) which is too excelent

3. updates is for me super stable and rolling (for me) via OTA in day of release (in some country(GB?) with some SIM is problematic, see some thread here), now i have ~3month P beta and useis as stable dailydriver too...

4. i don't see any sw/hw problem on me device, i see some on xda have problem, but maybe.. i have disabled animation and use NovaLauncher(no lags), i have disabled auto brightness(always on all phones), not have problem with sound (only in P BETA us problemaric record/play video sound), nothing restart or freezing...

Xiaomi Mi A2 has no sdcard slot. That's a nogo for me.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] liveXtrm:
Best is Nokia 7 plus, You can get discount on Paytm and get the device around 20k.

Both enrolled to android one program, that guarantees SW update for 2 years so all functionality will be same.

- though they shares almost same processor even Nokia performs better and managed to score more on ANTUTU.

- Nokia has beaten A2 on Camera pic quality, MI's 20 mp is not able tot beat Nokia 7 plus.

- Hardware and build can not be compared Nokia feels premium and solid than MI while MI A2 feels cheap infront of Nokia.

- MI do not have head phone jack.

- MI has less battery but still taking same charging time as Nokia.

Buddy. No need to think twice. Simply take Nokia 7+. I am an happy user of 7+ ( Old unhappy user of A1 too).
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] jaskiratsingh:
I have used both Nokia and mi. Nokia is higher price range, which was my concern earlier. However, after i started using it i realised the small things that make up the cost. The camera especially in dark is excellent. Mi pictures are grainy whereas Nokia are amazing.

I would recommend Nokia 7 over mi if you don't mind spending more.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] alinescoo:
Thank you all for your valuable feedback.

The price of 7 Plus is around the same for a used Pixel 2. I'll keep an eye on the market to see if I can get one for a good value/price. Or maybe wait another month and a half for pixel 3 release, as probably prices for pixel 2 will drop.

Thank you again for your time.

Hello everyone, is another day and another app that does the same (but I didn't know before developing it), so let me introduce you to WhatFast.

What is WhatFast?

WhatFast is a free tool to send WhatsApp messages to any numbers that are not saved in your contacts list, pretty useful when you have to chat with a lot of people that you don't want to have in your contact list.

How does it works?

Enter a number to which you are going to send message (including the country code) and press the message button, WhatFast will open a new chat on the official WhatsApp app with the given number.... (Btw, country code is not needed for Dominican Republic nubers) .

You have the power to share a phone number with WhatFast and it will automatically open a new chat on the official WhatsApp app with the given number.

You can also pick a phone number from recent call to start a new chat.

WhatFast also supports the following languages:

Hindi

Portuguese (Brazil)

Russian

French

Chinese (Simplified)

German

I haven't watched those vids, but I think it's possible. I read somewhere, that Mi A2 likes to heat up from the to time. Heat causes throttling to kick in. As a result phone slows down
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mingogomes:
Actually, what I think it is happening is related with the speed of the internal memory in the Mi A2.

While the Note 5 Pro stays with a consistent 200MB/s of read and write, the Mi A2 does not even reach the 50MB/s sometimes.
