I don't know if this will continue to work, but it's so far stuck through multiple reboots.

First delete the setting in adb shell:

settings delete global wfc_ims_mode

Then, create the setting with the same old command:

settings put global wfc_ims_mode 2

It still reads -1 after a reboot, but will still have wifi calling when there's service.

Hope it works for others!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] abuttino:
You are awesome!

Good job!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dmarden:
Hrmmmm, for me it lasts through a reboot, but only until the end of a call. Have you tried some calls?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] abuttino:
Are you saying it only lasts during the call? Or, only lasts one call?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dmarden:
Reboot... wifi preferred, make call... all good, hang up, back to mobile preferred (according to the carrier designation and the designation in the phone app).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] abuttino:
What about the next phone call?

---------- Post added at 09:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 AM ----------

You don't need to reboot for WiFi calling. All you need to do is turn WiFi calling off then back on with the WiFi calling toggle on the top of the screen. At least it's that way with Oreo, try it with 9.

Let me know if you have any luck
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dmarden:
Right, but the reboot is necessary for testing this because you're going to reboot or turn off your phone eventually, right? At least that is my thought on it.

As far as the next call goes, that is what I was referring to my the phone app designation. I'll try to restate and be more clear.

After performing the setting deletion and re-addition:

Reboot (to see if Wi-Fi preferred is in place straight away), it was! Carrier text says Verizon Wifi Calling.

Make a call, wifi calling works perfectly.

Hang up... carrier text changes back to Verizon Wireless

Make another call, no wifi calling.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] tincansandtwine:
It has lasted through several calls for me, though I should state that I only really paid attention to the carrier designation. I believe the "Mobile Network->Wifi Calling" preference has always stayed on "Mobile preferred" for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dmarden:
Cool, if it's lasting through multiple calls for you then I will test more/again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] abuttino:
Did you see WiFi calling when you were on the phone?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] tincansandtwine:
Yep, it shows that I'm making a WiFi call during the call, and the carrier designation also says Verizon Wi-Fi Calling.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] abuttino:
I don't understand why Verizon has to do this. Everything except their IMEIs with their specific bloatware allow the WiFi calling to be used without a hack.

I wish we could get a real hacker to fix it so we could get the menu instead of having to **** around with all this crap.

It's like they are penalizing us for using Pixel phones (Google or Verizon issued).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Surge1223:
This is one of the most useful threads I've seen in a while

I'm gonna hardcode the value into settings and disallow ims from changing it to any value not specifically requested and test some fixes from tmo prop and carrier config

Keep up the good info gents
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] abuttino:
If you find anything in the build.prop, please let us know.

How would you lock down a setting?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Surge1223:
Well in aosp it's pretty easy to make a variable hard-coded

But hey what we need is someone on stock Verizon p2xl that can simply dump settings list global

Requires shell perms
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Surge1223:
Also btw I'm on Verizon with an unlocked timen

I got wifi calling on O via overlay edits and a custom carrier config

I have the settings enabled still in P but it wasn't working until I tried the fix from here
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] abuttino:
I don't think that stock is going to make much difference.

Even the people on TMO say that wfc_ims_mode is -1
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Surge1223:
I know it does make a difference on O at least my brother has vzw model and his shows wifi calling settings and allows activation of it that works so I assume the default stock system img of a vzw p2xl has a difference not in unlocked version

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

Also I meant that wfc isn't always done through ims, you're correct about the - 1 for ims mode I'm just curious if stock uses wfc_ims_mode for wfc vs one of the various other methods
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Surge1223:
Attaching screenshot of various settings that could be in global list for stock vzw img
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] abuttino:
I'm still on O and it settings list global does show the wfc_ims_mode which I have set to 2. I won't update until a fix is found.

If you are saying that the setting shows up in the settings menu for Mobile preferred WiFi Preferred, that's a new one on me. But, you'd have to get someone on a Verizon issued phone to know for certain.

I would love to try a newer version of QPST. I bet it has the setting on the phone stack now, instead of the OS.

---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

Very interesting!

Where was that file? In something you flash? Have you tried editing it to values of true?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dacmcbibs:
This didn't work for me at all. Neither turning WiFi calling off and on, or rebooting got WiFi to default over mobile. If it helps any when i drill all the way into the WiFi calling section it says WiFi is preferred.. the screen before that shows mobile preferred.

I can get access to a T-mo phone, but neither the T-mo or Verizon phone are rooted.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] abuttino:
I have to ask.. are you connected to WiFi? Not a work WiFi.

As long as it shows WiFi calling, it's in that mode. Sometimes there are restrictions on firewalls that don't allow WiFi calling
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dmarden:
Upon further testing, it seems that (for me) even just waiting a bit reverts the change. To clarify, as I previously stated, once I get Wifi Calling going it only lasts for the first call then reverts. I've now confirmed that (again, for me) once I get Wifi Calling going, even if I just wait... after 15 or so minutes it reverts as well. I think something must be monitoring that state and enforcing Verizon's will, lol.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dmarden:

How did you get a custom carrier configuration?

I've been looking through root and AOSP files and saw something like what you posted above with the carrier_config.xml but, where does that go? It looks like vendor, but on 9, I couldn't figure out where the heck that file was?

What about this overlay you were speaking about? I'd love some more information.

If I do find the fix, it is going to be private. I just found out yesterday that I was highlighted on xda for my post and, Verizon obviously saw that.

I will make sure everyone gets it but, I'm not going to let it freely travel on the internet.

Most of us value WiFi calling more than we do notariety. If I knew Verizon was going to be spying to remove it, I would have been a lot more quiet about it.

I decompiled vendor.img and think I may have found something.

I know this is an old thread but did anyone ever get this working on Android 9?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Schroeder09:
No one?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jlokos:
It worked for me on Android 9, specifically AOSIP, Bootlegger and AquariOS roms. What i found is that you first need to set it up (activate it) on stock to get to work on the custom roms.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Schroeder09:
I am rooted, but I have the stock room. To me this seems like something just needs toggled. There were reports of this working for 1 call on Android 9 and then not working after 1 call. I experienced this very thing. It's like there is something (a prior line in this or a top level program on the phone?) writing the global settings_wfc_whatever it was 2 to "1."

it really seems like the phone is always trying to get on WiFi and something blocks it. I CONSTANTLY get messages while on calls that the call could not be transferred to wifi.

PS- I have set up my wifi calling and emergency info.

Just installed P and now previous brightness level of 63 it's so dim? I have to have it almost on 90% brightness now, why have they messed with this, it was fine as it was
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] GhostRider5666:
Same for me. WTF Google?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
The actual brightness is the same, they just changed how the slider works. The first half moved it fast, last half moved it slower. Now the slider is more uniform.

https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...c-brightness-slider-introduced-android-p-dp3/
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Ady1976:
It's definitely not smooth across the entire range, all my brightness is almost all the last 10% and actually a pain to set properly, it's worse for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
That's more accurate because in bright indoor lighting or outside it's going to be towards the end of the scale. Dim indoor lighting I'm currently at 43%. And in pitch black it goes to 0%. I pretty much never touch my slider anymore after a couple adjustments. Don't get caught up on the percentages. I would be willing to bet that with Oreo at 40% and Pie at 90% the lumens output of the screen was the same.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Ady1976:
Yeah I don't touch mine once it is setup generally but it's definitely not even throughout the scale, only gets really bright from like 85% onwards, just seems odd the real brightness is so high up, makes for fine tuning a bit difficult.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
The screen has been rated a minimum of 1.78 nits and a maximum of 496 so if it truly is linear now, 50% is something like only 247 which isn't that bright at all.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] PhilipL:
Hi

So much for AI on adaptive brightness, it's rubbish, and why do Google try to fix things that aren't broken, who needs AI for adjusting a backlight? Seems nothing more than just being able to market the phone as having AI! Never had an issue on Oreo, had it set at 25% with adaptive brightness and it was always the correct brightness wherever I was, which shouldn't be difficult given it's got a sensor to read the light levels.

Now since Pie, last night I turned my phone on in the dark and was blinded by a bright display (Oreo it would have been at it's lowest level in the dark), so turned the brightness down, turned it again later and the same thing, way too bright, and again this morning in a fairly dark room the same thing, far too bright, so I turn it down again. How long will it take to learn? The old method it was tamed immediately, now I'm constantly fiddling with the brightness, how is that progress!

Is there an option to go back to the old method?

Wish I hadn't bothered upgrading, just another year with an Android update with changes for changes sake.

Regards

Phil
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] shishimaru1000:
Totally agree on this. Adaptive battery and adaptive battery are almost non-sense. Only something cool to brand the item.

And Pixel Visual Core is just something super-expensive to make Whatsapp, Facebook and Twitter cameras use HDR+. I'd rather pay something less and not having this feature that is probably expensive (or modifies the perception of the Pixel 2 as super-new and mega futuristic). Also, I've got the feeling they won't use it for Pixel 3 or 4.

Moto X1 was the last to use more CPUs to optimize the phone, before Qualcomm introduced more chips.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] PhilipL:
Hi

For any one having this issue please report this from your device at Settings > System > About Phone, the more people that flag it the more likely it will get fixed.

For me, I hate these updates that break simple basic functionality and overall add nothing extra to what we had with Oreo. Google really need to test these things properly and stop trying to fix things that simply are not broken!

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] cnoevl21:
Not really sure what the heck is going on. I decided to roll back to 7.1.2 so i could get back button kill again (dont judge me lol).

Rolled it back, no problem. saved a backup in twrp of stock 7.1.2. Then tried to install pure nexus rom, EX kernel, vendor image. But it bootlooped and i got stuck on the white google splash screen.

Then it all went to hell and i cant figure out what the problem is. Tried flashing the rom again, but then twrp said No OS. So i went back and tried to flash the factory 7.1.2 image again, but I couldnt get that to work. Got error 'createprocess failed'.

Then i dont know what i did, but I got twrp to work again, so i tired flashing the rom again (this time no kernel). and bootlooped again. So i went back to twrp and now im back to an encrypted twrp. So im out of ideas at this point.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] spy4ka:
If you can get to bootloader mode, you can flash a factory image from here https://developers.google.com/android/images. never flash backup of factory images through twrp, it's a little fiddly. Also when flashing a factory image find flash-all.bat and edit it, just find -w and delete it.

If you can't then it's bricked. I had the same problem and flashing the factory image fixed it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mac796:
I thought Google made it to where we couldn't go backwards anymore but to do it right you have to do a factory reset a stock Google one if you still can do it.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Pain-N-Panic:
Flashing custom ROMs on pixel devices is tricky. If you don't do everything in the EXACT order you're suppose to (usually specified in the OP of the custom ROM thread) it'll usually end up badly.

I've had this phone for over a year and just last week was the first time I successfully flashed a custom ROM, firehound on 8.1. I would make sure you're using the latest TWRP as well.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pool7:
I remember this happened in the past, and I didn't give it too much thought, just did a clean ROM install and problem got away.

I may be doing this again, but thought I'd ask first, in case I can avoid it.

LG G3 - D850

ROM: Fulmics 8.0

Kernel Xceed D850-MM-test-bld7n

rooted (Magisk)

internal memory: 0.88GB free

external memory: Sandisk 64GB exfat, 23.54 GB free

Recently I got the classic Android message about running out of space in my internal storage, so I went ahead and opened Root Explorer, navigated to a folder in the internal memory, chose stuff to move, and moved it to the external storage.

There were no errors, and some stuff moved, but at some point it stopped on its own.

So I tried again, and it wouldn't move anymore.

I restarted the phone and this is where it's currently at:

-First time I open Root Explorer after rebooting, I can see the contents of the external SD card

-As soon as I try to do any kind of writing to it, it tells me I need to give permissions in Android so the app can write to the external storage. If I touch OK, it briefly flashes the permissions window, then goes back to root explorer and I can't see the SD card contents anymore (it still shows it as a folder within /storage, and if I enter it, it's empty, but does show the correct used/free space)

-I tried Titanium backup, and it also can't write to the external storage.

I did some research, tried the SD Fix app from the store, tried a couple more apps to fix external storage permissions , tried flashing the same kernel again and rooting again, issue persists.

I don't know what could be the root cause and/or how to further investigate/troubleshoot.

Any and all ideas are welcome.

Thanks! :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pool7:
Additional information:

-If I go to Settings > General > Storage, I see both internal and SD card. The SD card shows its usage information, and I have the eject button. However if I touch on it, a screen flashes for a second then goes back to the Storage screen (can't remember what it's supposed to do, but I'd assume it should show me the files in the SD card).

-If I boot in recovery (TWRP), I can't mount the SD card (it won't add a check mark to it).

Hello,

I had to change the SDK level in android studio from a 25 to a 26, when thats done i cant export the apk back out, i cant even find the button

To makes things more clear ill explain

1. I created the apk from cocoon

2. I signed and aligned them

3. I tried to upload but i had to change the API level ( SDK level)

4. I got android studio and just dragged in the signed APK in the studio

5. I found the SDK level and changed it to 26

6. I tried to export the .apk but i can only export to zip which does not have any files i need

So in short, i can get .apk in android studio but i cant get it out

Hi - Im in the US on T-Mobile & I recently bought the Mate 10 Pro International version - BLA-L29. I upgraded from Mate 9 MHA-L29 (US version) because I wanted 4G on both sims. EMUI = 8.0.0

Re-opening this question as I haven't seen any updates in a while for Group text option MMS on huawei messaging app

The option for Group Messaging setting is missing. Its there on the Mate 9 and missing on Mate 10. I want to set "send MMS to all recipients". I have the same EMUI and Messaging version on both phones but not there on the Mate 10. How is that possible?

Understand that the work around for Group Text is to go to Textra. I just have heartburn that it works on Mate 9 and doesn't even exist on Mate 10.

Any ideas if/when Huawei will fix this? I can't seem to find release notes or a known issues db. BTW - I called support and no help there...

Spoke to FunkyHuawei and they think this Group Messaging setting (send in bulk as an MMS chat) is a US-specific feature. That explains why I see it on my Mate 9 US and not on this Mate 10 International.

At this point (August 2018), the option is to use FunkyHuawei tools to rebrand my BLA-L29 from the International version to the US version. That keeps the dual sim and adds the US features.

I like that I have an option (thanks to FunkyHuawei)! In the end, instead of rebranding, I went ahead and installed Textra as my default app and group messaging is finally working again.
