I don't know if some of the issues I had were because of bad hardware or pie. But one thing was certain, I had a bad speaker, I have to keep it all the way down to keep the calls clear, otherwise if I turn it up it gets distorted.

Had a hard time a few times connecting to Wifi, sitting next to the router.

Statusbar kept turning all black a few times, had to press power to turn screen off and on again to get them back to white.

Phone speaker distorted

The top head volume isn't loud enough

Adaptive brightness doesn't work

Turned the volume off, then with either button couldn't get it turn up at all

I never had a bad cellphone, and this has not started out good... hmm

I'm not messing with Pie on this new phone, because there are bugs and stability issues I ran into, hopefully it will be smoother for others. I'll stick to Oreo for a while, and let the dust settle on Pie.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] jmkarnai01:
Hmmm, very strange. I have been on all the betas and now the official and I am very pleased having none of the problems you are having. Just really strange you are having so many problems. Maybe contact essential and they can help rectify all or most of the problems you are having. Sounds like a faulty device. Especially wifi problems and speaker distortion
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DoR3M3:
[MENTION=3040972]jmkarnai01[/MENTION] yeah it's a bad phone, it's new, so going back and new replacement on the way...

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Akkijag:
I use to flash new Roms every time. But then everytime I have to install the basic apps again from playstore .

To avoid this reinstalling , I made titanium backup of apps and I restore apps on different Roms from titanium backup app. But here problem is I have to root the rom to use titanium backup on every rom.

I just want to ask , how can I make a flashable zip of some important apps so that with new rom flashing I can flash this all zip too....so that apps get installed without root.

And as flashing from twrp install gapps in system partition ...so can i install apps in data partition from twrp recovery ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] RaviChandra619:
Use nandroid Backup
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] smarty1:
Look carefully there is an option for making flashable zips for backup in Titanium backup itself so just find it and use it but i would suggest to try and check it first because it doesn't always work so try it first before fully relying on it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Akkijag:
Yes I tried it too and it is not working for me. There is option of making update.zip from titanium backup. But when I flash thi zip from twrp,nothing happens. No app gets installed .
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] smarty1:
There is an app in playstore app2zip or something developer [MENTION=582585]jru[/MENTION]mmy

please try that too and report back .
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Apcoolboy:
First make backup of all apps in titanium with data. Then just tap on "tickmark" button on top-right corner. Here find "Recovery Mode" and Run recovery mode with desire apps with data. Name it whatever you like.

Now Go to twrp and flash that "Recovery.zip" file that you created in flashing zip. Restart phone after 1-2 times to make it stable. (you will probably can get app crash frequently by flashing zip"

But I think in this method too you need installed titanium backup for "app-data" installation. (All apps will installed without titanium backup but you need TB for data installation)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Black_Stark:
I think miui has better options for local backup which u will not find in custom roms. I hope our devs should have included this in custom roms.

If i remember There are 2 options in miui

1-User settings

2-Apps and data

If u moving from one from custom rom to another then its always better to backup and restore only "apps and data".. Never restore" User settings". Coz restoring user settings brings bugs and crashes. Coz different custom roms got diffrent tree.

Make sure if u backup using titanium then never backup user settings. Only backup apps and data.

Hi

Does anyone know where I could order a genuine galaxy s7edge battery for my galaxy s6 flat.

Heard its really improved battery life for people compared to the one that comes with the s6, so I'm interesting in trying to do this mod myself. ?

Any info would be great. Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foreiner:

the original battery is bigger than s6 ... So you will not be able to close the back cover...... & you should use Case.....

U can buy blustar battery for s7 edge ... it fits & will be fine

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] paradeedle:
What is the best way to wipe+install the new Android P update on a Verizon Pixel 2 XL(locked bootloader)? I am on the Android P Beta so the Android P full release is showing in system updates but is it better to flash the OTA via USB instead or just update using the OTA system update and then erase all data?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xringo:
Just update through the system settings and then do a factory reset. Unless you really want to unlock your bootloader.

https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2-xl/how-to/guide-unlock-flash-root-pixel-2-xl-t3702418
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
Since you are looking for a fresh start anyway and willing to wipe your data, one way is to just do a factory data reset first, and then flash the OTA via fastboot. Full OTA's are already posted and available. Best of luck. :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] paradeedle:
Perfect. Flashing the OTA via fastboot still allows OTA monthly updates as well then?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
Yes, because it is a full OTA image. Many people with locked bootloaders have flashed full OTA's when their unit stopped receiving them manually to force them back on track. The full OTA is almost as big as the complete image > 1GB. Not to be confused with the incremental OTA ~ 50MB. Best of luck.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] daggorlad:
I bought this phone from Amazon a week ago. It has 4 GB/64 GB with Snapdragon 636 cpu. The Model number in "About Phone" says Redmi Note 5. Everything I find online says that the Note 5 has the Snapdragon 620 CPU. It appears that the specs on my phone more closely match up with the Note 5 Pro rather than Note 5.

I did lookup the model name "M1803E7SH" and found that to have the codename "WHYRED" which appears to be the codename for the Note 5 Pro. My reason for this question is so that I go to the correct forum to get the correct Rom for my phone to reduce chance of bricking. Should I get my Roms, Kernels and Recoveries from here or the Note 5 Pro forum?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] jes0411:

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] luisvalino:
We already know that Moto X4 equipped with Android One will have Android P update but the question is to know if Moto X4 with Android Oreo standard will receive Android Pie.

On the other hand, the Motorola's blog in order to know updates news is the worst place where you can get report updates as they do not report anything at all.

Well, it looks like Motorola's blog just announced that Pie will be available this fall:

"...Android Pie will be served up on the below Motorola smartphones starting this fall:

https://blog.motorola.com/2018/08/15/baked-android-pie-coming-motorola/

My bets are that:

1. This only applies to Android One. Regular X4s will get it next year.

2. "This fall" means by the end of the calendar year.

Today i unlocked and root my OP6 5.1.9

Went to Magisk and did install a Viper4 sound.

The problem is that......nothing happens. Try diferent modules, always uninstall before....and even so, nothing.

Even try APK + drivers.....nothing. Whatever i do, nothing change on default sound. i use Poweramp.

Is this something to do with Permissive something? On my previous Mi NOte 3 i had do uninistall FX and mod INI.

You need to ROOT with Magisk, flash Busybox NDK via Magisk and the 1st of 3 Viper4Androids in the DL section of Magisk...
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] sttw1fa:
Long time user of Viper4Android. Across several HTCs, since Android 4.4 IIRC. Lately moved to the OP6.

Really....all you need is OOS 5.1.9, Magisk 16.0 (and the process that gets you those two things). Then install the ViPER4Android FX v1.7 module in Magisk. Choose the Material Design option when you activate/install V4a. If you get the I/O error installing the driver (first time running of V4a), then you need to enable SU in Magisk for V4a (as it didn't ask when you ran V4a).

If Poweramp is your only playback method. You'll need to make a change in the EQ/sound control setup (of PowerAmp, not V4a) for V4a to work. I ditched Poweramp long ago, so don't remember the specific change to make it compatible with V4a.

Lastly, are you direct connected to the OP6 (via the 3.5mm audio) or connected via BT? Those throw issues into it as well.

Don't get discouraged...it will work. I have V4a on my OP6 working via the 3.5mm connector, a BT connection to a vehicle system, and to another BT 3.5mm stereo receiver/adapter to headphones. It however does not work, to one of my BT devices, which uses LDAC BT connection to the OP6 (an EarStudio ES100).

HTH. More questions? Ask away.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Mord0rr:
Guys!

I apreciate the effort but nothing.....installed Busy BOx NDK, ok, and the first one (1.7):

However, when check drives status, i get a Enabled: NO - Processing: NO

Magisk 16.4

Root OK for Viper.

Maybe some previous driver install full of trash...even log seems to say it did clean old stuff....
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] sttw1fa:
Using Spotify connected via BT to vehicle.

It's either a remnant of another audio mod, or the EQ setup in Poweramp is not right. It's very specific. Google 'Poweramp Viper4Android fix'. And ignore the response of putting v4a in compatible mode. Not necessary. It's a special way if the EQ settings in Poweramp. One of the reasons I switched to USB Audio Player Pro.

HTH.

Or, there is another audio mod being persistent. This conversation just came up in the xXx thread. A user still had some DolbyAtmos mod enabled. Got it deleted, and V4a immediately started working.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] sttw1fa:
Glad you have it working. If you are playing with V4a....then you likely enjoy great sound or at least tuning it to your liking. Setup your audio stream (no matter the source, Poweramp, Spotify, Pandora, Tidal, etc.) to the highest quality. If you're using Poweramp, then it'd be your sound files (FLAC or similar at the minimum). Then, get some quality mid range headphones/canalphones. Earbuds not. If you want to research (and be completely overwhelmed), visit head-fi.org.....and 'sorry about your wallet' as they say over there.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] sttw1fa:
Not familiar with the Mi Note 3. Does it use Magisk or SU?

In general, I've found that if you are using a Magisk setup device, it's just install the v1.7 module I mentioned above, and all is usually good to go (as long as there aren't other audio mods enabled!). If you are using a device that uses SU, you may also have to do some boot up kernel config to set SELinux to unenforcing, rather than it's usual default of enforcing. You don't need all the other fluff....xposed, busybox, etc. etc. to make V4a work properly.

No idea what's going on or how it happened but the best I can tell I'm having an issue with my charging animation.

Generally the phone works fine and charges fine while on, but if plugged in while off I do not get the charging animation but rather a static black and white screen with a battery and the lightning bolt in the middle. If I unplug the phone once it has reached this state the image persists and in order to boot the phone I have to hold the power button for a solid 30 second soft reset. Anecdotally it also feels like my phone startups are slower than they used to be. This issue is true for multiple chargers including the original and I've made sure the port is clear.

Can anyone confirm that it seems like I'm having an issue with perhaps a corrupted charging animation and if so point me in a direction of how to fix it? Thank you for any suggestions.

Best,
