[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mikep2323:
Att takes it out so there is no mobile data toggle. If I want to turn mobile data on I have to go into a few settings to get to it. I used to be able to run a few adb commands and I would add the toggle back in but it doesn't work with oreo. I like to be able to toggle it on and off. I don't like to have to go into numerous things to turn it on and off. When I run the command now it gives me a error.

Here is the link in case anyone wants to look. IF someone can run the first command in adb that has the mobile data toggle and post here I would appreciate it. Thanks

Oh, I wasn't expecting that. Don't know why they would do this, maybe some customers toggled it by accident and complaint that Internet is not working? Hmm...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] revized:
So if customers don't know what they are doing regular people have to be treated like little people now too lol, no it's because they want control to keep data advice at All times! Otherwise you would be able to have a widget huh!!
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] alberto8523:
I've noticed the touchscreen is a little bit slow/lazy when I activate navigation gestures.

The lazy response area is only on the bottom-left of the display, and it concerns only the "A" letter of my qwerty keyboard (a very small area).

This lazy response of the touchscreen is on all other apps, not only in the keyboard, and it concerns only that small area.

If I use navigation buttons, the problem disappear.

I don't know if this issue was present also in previous OS version because I've tried using navigation gestures today :)

I've the Nex S 8/256GB, PD1805_A_1.17.10

Anyone noticed this?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Edimahler:
Exactly the same here...

Sorry for this (maybe too) late answer: Have exactly the same issue. I'm used to write really fast on my phone, but since having the Vivo Nex, I'm slowed down extreamly because of this. Also for me just the "A" letter is the problem. Doesn't matter which keyboard or size (tried several), it's always laggy...

I really hoped this would be a thing of the past after the newest "Funtouch-update" from some days ago, as they've been writing about "better touchscreen accuracy" in the changelog... But nobchanges at all concerning this point...

Did anyone already found a solution against this, without having to turn on those ugly navigation buttons on the bottom of the screen? I really like the three swiping gestures.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Edimahler:
Same on my side

Seems as my previous post has been deleted / went lost... :(

I've exactly the same problem here with the "A" key of the keyboard being really slow on my Vivo Nex S (256GB, global version). Hoped this problem would fade away after the newest "Funtouch" update 3 days ago, because they wanted to have solved exactly this problem, what Vivo told us in the changelog...

But all kept the same. Tried already three different keyboards with different settings, no success. Does someone has a solution for this?

But I really DON'T like having the navigation buttons visible, so this is no option for me. I definitely want to use the original slide actions for the three buttons below the screen...

To be honest: I'm using the Nova Launcher over the Funtouch System (the Funtouch launcher is absolutely useless). Could this have an influence?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] guagin:
This happends to me too.It seems there s area down to the bottom of screen is not sensitive enough.

I have vivo 1805 which is Taiwan version, not sure if this model same as the global version. And I also try to flash the chinese version ROM but failed cause of the signature difference. The update progress in Taiwan is not as fast as chinese. Hope VIVO in Taiwan could release the fix soon.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Edimahler:
Well, not sure if this is the same issue on my device, as the sensitivity seems to be ok on mine, but I have to push the "a" button much longer (not stronger) than all others. So just a laggy key... And REALLY annoying!

But "good" to hear that others seem to have comparable problems. If there just finally would be a fix for this on the Vivo phones...?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] manu_up:
Hey guys. I have been facing the same issue and started experimenting with navigation replacements. So as you guys realize, sensitivity is just fine when using the nav buttons but there are a lot of keyboard mistypes when using Vivo's own navigation gestures.

Therefore, after expermintation, I can confirm that the app called "Fluid Navigation" is an awesome replacement for the navigtion gestures. XDA Navigation gestures is slightly incompatible with the Nex. But Fluid Navigation works perfect.

So all you need to do is follow these steps

1, Switch to Nav buttons

2, Install the app

3, Grant accessibility permission

4, Grant Write Secure Settings through ADB. The app gives instructions for this

5, Hide the nav bar through the app

6, Customize the gestures in the app. It even allows quick settings swipe up.

Hope this helps. Enjoy guys. You will definitely feel the difference

I have A5 2016 (a510f). It's rooted with SuperSu. It currently has Android 6. How to update to Android 7? And how to install root again after this procedure? Will the recovery still be working or everything from scratch?

Thanks for help.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] hssxda:
Hi All-

I updated to the Android Pie Official release last night and this morning my WiFi range is now non existent. When I am in the same room as the router everything is perfect but I go in to a different room in my tiny apartment it can no longer connect. I am only like 25 feet from the router and it says signal is poor or can't connect at all. Never had this issue with Oreo.

Anyone else have this issue or any ideas to fix it? I never tried any of the P Beta releases because I didn't want issues like this...

Thanks in advance for your help!

(FYI I am on rooted stock Pie with Magisk)

PS- Yes I searched but I started a new thread because I only found 2 recurring issues that people discussed are throttling speed issues and other people saying wifi doesn't work entirely. I didn't find anyone discussing range issues...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] supercfc:
I had a OnePlus 5. I bought the essential phone on the Prime day and even before using it, flashed Android P beta and now am on Pie official.

I have no idea about Oreo but the WiFi signal is really poor on the essential. My essential phone loses the 5ghz signal in the next room where my OP5 works perfectly fine.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] hssxda:
I don't think it is just an "essential phone" issue it seems to be possibly a Android P issue, because I had the phone for a week or so on Oreo rooted with no wifi range issue.

I also was connected to a 5ghz network. Did connecting to 2.4ghz band work any better for you? I just noticed my issue while getting ready to leave for work this morning and didn't have time to test the 2.4ghz range
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] supercfc:
The range on 2.4Ghz network is slightly better than 5ghz but still, it's nowhere near to my OP5.

I hope it's an Android P issue and not a hardware issue.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] johninsf:
I have noticed the poor/weird signal. Both WiFi and mobile signal are not great. I am 6 feet from my WAP in the same room and have 3 bars as i type this.

I have a AmpliFi mesh network that works well but wonder if this phone is jumping on the 5ghz node and not the mothership.

Mobile signal in my SF flat is weak up front and stronger in the back. My HTC U11+ holds the weak signal where the PH-1 does not.

I got this phone on prime day(and 360 lens and case from Essential for really cheap) to use as a backup/hobby but considering returning phone and selling accessories.

It is not just the signal issue...I have gotten used to a larger phone and the U11+ feels great everytime I return to it. Alas, age.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] DoR3M3:
I have had several times on Pie problems, but then I never tested this on Nougat when I received the phone, I just went straight into the Pie Update.

For me, several times, I click Wifi on and it shows connecting for the longest time sitting next to the router, then when it connectes it says no internet.

I've only played with the wifi a few times, and most of the time it gave me problems connecting.

I have other phone issues, so I've got a new phone replacement on the way, and I'll leave this on Nougat that it comes with and try to see if I can get an Oreo update and leave it on that, and see if it works out better.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] hssxda:
I think it comes with oreo, does it not?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] DoR3M3:
[MENTION=6822519]hssxda[/MENTION] I just received my phone from an online order with Nougat... :(

I was hoping it was coming with Oreo.

Hmm
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] rickymz:
I seriously thought this phone didn't support 5ghz until now, when I first set it up few days ago, my 5G network didn't show up at all. I felt weird that 'flagship' phone didn't support 5ghz, but didn't bother checking.

Oh well, 2.4 it is, at least downloading Pie over 2.4 was really fast where 5 wasn't even seen.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] hssxda:
Tbh I don't recall what mine came with but I definitely updated to the July oreo before pie came out and my wifi was fine. I believe the Ota updates are incremental so you may be able to just update to oreo if you wish but I'm not positive
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] DoR3M3:
Nope, just Nougat to Pie is all there is...

I should just give into having some Pie to eat I guess! LOL

Isn't newer always suppose to be better... ;) LMAO

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ProFragger:
The radios overall on this phone are the weakest radios I have ever seen in a flagship device, and I have owned to many! With that said, my issue was reverse, I had extremely low strength to no signal on 5ghz networks on Oreo June build, as well as weird throttling issues. Cell service was extremely bad as well.

With the Pie update, the phone is usable, including the 5Ghz WiFi network, but again, it is the weakest signal I have ever seen from my router. I have had this tested on a Note 8, Huawei Mate 10 Pro, HTC U12+ and Essential PH1. Hoping it's a software fix!

P.S. No amount of factory resetting saved me :(...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Genesis3:
I just got back from a cross-country road trip that I've taken many times before with many other devices, and while the PH-1 was a BIT weaker in a few spots it was acceptably good -- and not materially worse than the V20 that I was using just before this device (which, as phones go, is in the "good but not excellent" RF category.)

I find it acceptable -- WiFi is IMHO weaker than cell on this device, but it's not particularly bad.....
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] rambleon84:
I've wiped back to stock several times on this device, always notice my 5ghz takes a bit longer to show up on the initial setup for wifi. My 5ghz seems to get better speeds where I am normally setting up my phone, so i tend to wait for it...usually just an extra 20 seconds or something and it pops up
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] chefp:
Sent a message to Essential customer support. Expecting a standard boilerplate response of "factory reset the phone" which doesn't apply in my case. Here's my story:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I purchased a new Essential PH-1 and updated it to the latest release of Android Pie (9, build PPR.180610.091, baseband 2.0.c4-M2.0.5). I did the update to Android Pie beta immediately out of the box, with nothing installed, not even any user configured. It then updated to the Android 9 stable release.

The WiFi on this Essential PH-1 is very unstable on the 5 GHz band. It sporadically drops connection and reconnects. While this might seem like just a nuisance, it's a big problem when streaming videos. Sometimes when WiFi drops, the video resumes streaming from my mobile connection which incurs high charges. I don't always notice this since the video can look like a brief buffering pause when it switches over. It's also an issue when I play online multiplayer games, causing it to drop me out of the game.

This happens frequently on the 5GHz band (on average every 10-30 minutes, but varies a lot). The 2.4 GHz band is more stable but it still drops out on occasion. This looks like a weak antenna in the Essential, as I've done a WiFi scan using WiFi Analyzer app and see the 5GHz reception is extremely poor. My old Nexus 6 sees 8-10 5GHz stations in my condo, whereas the Essential sees 2 (including mine).

My reference point is the Nexus 6 which has no WiFi dropouts. It's rock solid and maintains connection "forever" (I never see it drop WiFi). My router is a Linksys WRT3200ACS with extended range antennas. It has very strong signal strength, I know that's not the issue since 5 other devices have no WiFi dropout issues.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kboya:
I'm seeing increased WiFi drop out since updating to P. Particularly in weak areas, and where my daughter's og Moto X is happily connected.

I'm guessing a software issue as this wasn't the case before.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] caferacer73:
I've noticed this on my as well. My phone was delivered Saturday morning. Was having issues while getting my phone setup. Had to switch between my 2 routers. Hopefully a solution will be found soon.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] p51d007:
I hear ya! I've been on "big" smartphones since the beginning!

Dell Streak 5, Samsung Note 1, Huawei Mate 2, 8, 9

Got the PH-1 as handy back up and to play with it (the price was a no brainer). It just seems so flipping TINY compared to my Mate 9. But, I do notice the screen is RAZOR SHARP and bright as can be.

Other than that, I've not encountered any issues. Wonder if someone makes a magnifying screen protector LOL.

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

Got mine from Amazon 2 weeks ago, it had 7.1 on it, and went straight to 9.

I think ANY "dot zero" software is pretty much gonna have a glitch or two. You can test it all

you want but until you put it in the wild, will you know if all the bugs are gone. Maybe in a couple

weeks, once September rolls around, there will be some squashed bugs...but, I'm sure after those bugs

get fixed, there will be some new ones appear. Sadly, that's the nature of software.

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------

I think it is a hardware, not software issue from what I've been seeing. The tear down of the Essential you'll notice the gaps in the cover which I think are for the antenna signal. With the Essential being titanium, perhaps the signal for the radios might be attenuated a bit, causing the problem. I haven't looked into the harmonics & distortions using titanium. In theory, it shouldn't be an issue, but if you look at the size of a bumble bee, versus it's wings, it shouldn't be able to fly LOL.

I've been using this about a week, coming from a Mate 9, with zero signal issue problems. Where I typically have full bars with the 9, with the Essential I might have 3/4 to 1/2. I've even noticed in places it shows zero bars, I still have internet & phone.

Right now, I'm showing 1/2 bars, and using LTE discovery, it says I'm using Ch30, LTE, -110.0dbm.

Did a restart radio, and it shows -105dbm.

Did another radio restart, -104dbm

But, the signal bars go from 1/2 to 3/4, to 1/4

Obviously some radio or antenna issue. I keep mine in a case, but I did try covering the gaps along the top, top sides, and bottom sides (they have kind of a white semi transparent spacer) and you can see the signal levels change from time to time, with the phone stationary.

Kind of wonder if it is "ala" like the iPhone signal issue they had, first time they used a metal case/cover combo?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] DoR3M3:
On Oreo, around every 2 mins, my signal changes, from full to 75%, then back to full, then 75%, and keeps repeating always. This is also sitting with a router 7 ft. away, and the signal should never move. To many other issues going on with Pie, so I'm sticking with Oreo for now...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] zswielder:
I began experiencing this issue since the update too. Grrrr...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] chefp:
I've been troubleshooting this with an Essential support rep who's been surprisingly diligent. Problem hasn't been solved, but some interesting findings.

Booting into Safe Mode doesn't seem to make a difference (can't tell for sure since I can't run WiFi Analyzer on it, or much anything else).

Disabling "Turn-on WiFi automatically" doesn't help.

Resetting network settings significantly increased 5 GHz signal strength.

"This will restore your network settings back to factory defaults—it's a way of wiping your NFC software clean and re-provision your networks."

https://support.essential.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001458268-Resetting-your-Network-Settings

I was hopeful that resetting network settings would solve the problem. Alas, while it increases signal strength a lot, it still drops WiFi sporadically. A nuisance side effect of this is that all the saved WiFi access point names & passwords are lost.

It's interesting that while the 5 GHz signal strength improved by 8 dB, it still doesn't "see" as many APs as my Nexus 6. The Nexus 6 can see 7 APs in this area (most are weak, but it detects them). The Essential sees 2-3, with mine being quite strong and the others very, very weak. I interpret this as its range drops off much faster than the Nexus 6 on the 5 GHz band.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Genesis3:
5Ghz has MUCH poorer propagation through any sort of barrier. It's simply the nature of the signal; the higher-frequency signal doesn't go through barriers as well as the lower-frequency one, all things being equal.

The PH-1 doesn't have as good of a WiFi signal according to the meter as my V20 did, but the V20 couldn't hold a WiFi calling connection reliably, while the PH-1 does -- all the time. So between the two I'll take the PH-1 as I can sit on the phone for an hour without getting the "echoes" or worse, falling back off WiFi calling entirely. And it does hit the expected transfer rate from my ISP.

The one "gotcha" is that the 5Ghz signal is poor in the can. Then again it was with the V20 too (it has to pass through several walls, including two exterior ones to get there from the router) so that's not surprising.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] chefp:
We don't need a lecture about the relative merits of 5 GHz signal propagation. That's well understood and not the point here. My baseline comparison is a Nexus 6, a 4 year old phone that has far, far superior WiFi signal quality than the Essential. A 10 dB difference which is approximately 3 times the signal strength.

Signal strength is just one factor in the Essential's WiFi flakiness. Pie seems to have a major bug staying connected to a 5 GHz AP, even when the signal strength is strong. This gets worse as the signal weakens. My Nexus 6 never drops a WiFi connection when the signal strength is high.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Radagast82:
I have no issues in terms of signal strenght.

I have issues connecting to a WiFi which has hidden SSID (i prefer this way). Even manually adding it, my phone can't connect. It's a Pie beahviuor, since with Oreo everything was perfect.

Guess we have to wait for a 9.1 release (as always)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] hammer7t:
There is a new setting under Advanced drop-down when adding the network manually for hidden Wifi networks. You need to select that the network is hidden from the drop-down and then you will be able to connect fine. New Pie feature...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Radagast82:
****... thanks :)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] capitak:
I've got the same range issue on mine as well with P installed, and off a fresh factory reset.

Upstairs it's fine, and slightly below the room where the router is, but when I move further away, I completely lose the 5ghz band, and it doesn't auto switch to the 2.4. Had to manually connect to it, and the signal was poor.

Whereas I had no issues on my Xiaomi Note 3 Pro, and Moto X Play. I'll reset my router later and see if it fixes anything.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] autosurgeon:
Part of this is likely related to how this and other AC devices handle the multi channel and channel switching. That you and others are having trouble with Asus routers running a specific firmware and I on a Linksys router with similar AC tech and different firmware am not is interesting.
