[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cn198:
Hi all,

I have updated my Pixel 2 XL to Android Pie, and I think I've got my head around the Do Not Disturb functionality. At present I want to see all notifications, but I want them all to be silent apart from Alarms. I've also set it so that media volume is muted in DND, as I find it really annoying when in DND and some advert on something, or a video blurts out loudly when you don't expect it.

This is all great, apart from when I hook my phone up to my car via bluetooth. Unless I take my phone off DND, I can't hear any music play via google music. Before Pie, I used to be able to have a seperate volume for bluetooth, but it now seems that everything is just muted and I can't alter the volumne unless I turn DND off, which I don't really want to do everytime I get in the car and never had to do before. I thought about setting google music to "override DND", but when I look at the notifications it is already set to override.

So, why isn't the music overriding the muted media of DND, and how can I get music to play without having to turn off DND when connected via bluetooth?

Hope that makes sense!

Chris
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Music needs media volume. You muted it with DND so there's your reason. You can try not muting it with DND and just keeping the media volume low or manually muted. That's why they made the volume button to control media by default.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cn198:
Media volume is muted by DND, Play music has override of DND, therefore it shouldn't be muted. Just doesn't make sense to me. I know I can just not have DND mute media, but that's not what I want here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
It does? Where? I don't see an override DND anywhere in Play Music settings.

Also, with Android Pie it remembers your Bluetooth volumes for each device. So if don't mute media, keep your media volume low but connected to your car or whatever Bluetooth, you'll get you volume back to what you had it.

In my case, a lot of times I actually mute my media and notifications because I get it on my watch. But when I connect to my car, I get all my Play Music fine without adjustments.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cn198:
Go to Settings, then Apps & Notifications, Select Google Play Music, Select Notification, then Select Playback, Select Advanced and here you'll find Override Do No Disturb, which is on.

I understand what you're saying, just keep media on in DND, but keep it down low and have a different volume for Bluetooth, and that's exactly how I used to do it before Pie. But the problem comes from when you have watched a video at some point, forgotten to turn the volume back down, and then at some inappropriate time in DND sound blurts out. I was hoping that avoid that happening with the new media mute setting in DND but still have the bluetooth sound override that setting.

I'm not an android expert by any stretch of the imagination, just thought it was worth asking the question.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
The keyword in your steps is "Apps & Notifications". The only thing that'll override DND with that setting is notifications coming from Google Play and not media volume.

Friends,

How fix OEM Unlock without wait the seven days after security patch 01/08?

I tested various trips and in rare case, the OEM Unlock appear for me, but, in reboot, fastboot and flash the TWRP, the task fail and when returned in Developer Settings the OEM unlock disapear and dont show anymore.

Someone can help me, please?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Logel:
Normally it should be enough to flash a patched kernel directly after you flashed TWRP.

Don't be afraid to hit the "Thanks" button if someone helped you. It don't hurts

The 7 days bypass still works with the August patch but require multiple tries. https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/oem-unlock-quick-fix-highly-recommend-t3791984

Last time I got it to work was by -

1. Factory reset the system

2. Setup fresh device - only wifi and Samsung account (date doesn't matter once connected to internet date will reset

3. Change date to at least 7 days earlier (it doesn't work after all the steps try 7 days later)

4. Disable auto update then manual update (usual steps)

5. Airplane mode before the reboot (keeps the date after reboot)

6. Reset date to default, and manual update + reboot

7. If oem unlock doesn't show, go to recovery and clear cache (this worked for me, it popped up after reboot~)

Well, I got it to work sometimes without clear cache. This might not work for you, it might be more promising to wait for another 7 days.

I found RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa.zip fix to not work anymore. There is a later version v2 on the web.

Note: I was on CRG1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Diexmax:
Dont work for me. SAD!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stonedpsycho:
Try a factory reset, first remove the sim card.

Skip wifi and logging into accounts, when the time and date option pops up set it back 14 days (usually what I do) Hopefully then OEM will appear. :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Diexmax:
Friend, i tested with various methods and dont work. 7 Days back, 14, 20, 60 days back and nothing.

Wait seven pain days

Need internet for try update, no?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Fen-X:
Not sure, but i think without internet Connection we can dupe the Sammy system to activate more quickly the Oem option. Maybe im right maybe i m wrong
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stonedpsycho:
It's worked that way for me the last 3 times. It definitely works sometimes when logging into accounts and checking the update, thats what I used to do, this just skips all of that. Just another method you can try, some work for some, other's do not.

[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] sudiptasen:
Hi,

I am an ex-Qualcomm and an ex-Texas Instruments engineer and I have some knowledge of the chipsets on the smartphones. But, I know that my knowledge might be a few years old. So, please humour me.

1. I have a XPERIA X F8332, Forest Blue, which I bought in the Dubai area.. It is a DUAL SIM, Hybrid, 64GB model.

2. After the Oreo upgrade AND after I put a smart cover , the phone keeps on hanging frequently.

3. I have been talking to SONY customer service repeatedly from my official QUALCOMM designation and I have still received no proper help.

4. The phone would stop charging and stop responding

5. Then after I put it in freezer ( sub 32 Fahrenheit ) for a few hours, then the phone would respond to external charging and I could reboot it

6. It is Factory STOCK and has always been upgraded using XPERIA companion

7. I have the Firmware version 41.3.A.2.149

Here are my questions and requests :

1. Can anyone suggest why this is happening ?

2. I think that a clean erase of the Cache would help ? Any suggestions if this is a correct idea and / or how to perform it

3. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue ( constantly needing manual reboot and phone hang ) ?

4. Can I upgrade to a higher OS without "jailbreaking" the phone. Pardon the hashed metaphor.

Please I would really request some assistance, as I sincerely believe that the phone is a good phone and I have ran 2 hours of 4K video playback without any fail.

So, it must be something else.

Please kindly help

Regards

Sudipta Sen

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Smash3333:
Hello!

I have a more or less massiv problem with my Mi A1. It's working good, no issues or something but there is a big problem, in my case, with the answering calls screen at android one. I had i many times that the phone was automatically cancelling the incoming calls because when i want to put the phone out of my pants it swipes down inside my pants.

So my question is, is there any chance to change the swipe from up and down to left and right or anything else?

I also will do a root incl. new alternative rom like lineageos or something if it is nessesary!

Maybe there is an option that the light sensor will detect if it's outside the bag?

Thanks in advance!

Install a custom rom like aex which has pocket detection

If you want to stay on stock just install Xposed + gravitybox

It has a pocket detection too

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] j0nas_:
By removing it I mean bump the statusbar down below the notch and make it black above it. Not the bs that OnePlus did.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] se7ensde:
Your sacrificing a lot of screen space like that.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Donnie Sins:
Why on earth would you do that? Then you're just wasting a part of the screen. If you don't mind the notch, keep it. If you do, use it as a black statusbar. What's the big deal..?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] DamiDev:
the best solution = Sell your op6 and buy a 5t :)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] galaxys:
Upgrade to the 6T when available...
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] j0nas_:
So I could see all statusbar icons like vpn, headphones and more. Also app notifications. Since this device uses an amoled display it would also save power.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] j0nas_:
Rumours say it will still have a notch. Even if it didn't have one I'm not gonna buy a new phone just 6 months after the previous one.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] j0nas_:
Nah it would be like 16:9 which I'm used to and it's not that much space. Bezelless phones have never been a big focus for me but the one sd845 phone that has no notch was the s9/plus which costs double.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] j0nas_:
Yeah... no apart from being last gen it has some audio problems through the aux port that all my friends with an 5t encountered. Forgot what it was exactly.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] se7ensde:
uh yes it would because this phone is meant for 19:9 so your sacrificing part of your screen on top and bottom. Where is your logic for thinking it's not. The physical screen isn't going to automatically change so you're just going to have black borders. :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] laviniu_c:
i think you're overthinking and greatly underevaluating the a2 official support.

the f1 has just one problem, miui. and yes, you can fix that by unlocking and getting a custom rom. eventually.

it launches at the end of august, there will be at least another month before you can pick one up in europe at a decent price.

then you need to wait for an actual custom rom official ish team to pick it up, another 1-2 months before it's good enough for daily driver usage. ow wait christmas already?

or you could do what you did already and enjoy your phone, the a2 isnt a bad phone at all!

i got one too, saw the f1 news and i dont feel the same way at all. in europe it's gonna sell for at least 350euros. asuming you ever find one in stock.

if you really want to, mosr eu retailers will refund you fully within 30 days of your purchase you could return the a2 and wait for the f1, i wouldn't but it's an option...

p.s. i also think that even though the 845 is faster, the 660 is fast enough. perhaps even a 636 would be plenty. i find it hard to justify high end chips honestly.

p.s.2 and yes the f1 is gonna break the high end phones market. xiaomi will probably sell as many as it can make and big oems will have to think hard and strong before offering a phone that costs over 500 euros
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] AsItLies:
All I can add is that there will ** Always ** be phones with better specs just around the corner. Did I say Always?

Phones can do so much now, which is good, but making a decision and being satisfied with it is increasingly difficult. I too have a

Nexus 5 (and 5x) in the past. The 5 I still have as a backup, has LineageOS on it and is doing great.

The most difficult thing for me is determining what I really need (separating it from what I want), and then finding a device that fits.

I love that the MiA2 is android one. It's basically Lineage, which is perfect for me. Does it make Network connections quickly? Absolutely, and very

strong connections at that.

Sufficient ram and rom? Works great for me... Snap660 is all I need, with what I do... Unlockable? perfect. Treble? perfect. Decent Camera? absolutely.

So my checklist is... sparse I know. But why pay for more than you need? Oh they'll sell it to you! And they're happy to make you believe you need it!

But what do you need? really?

That's the tough question to answer.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] mauley:
Those two answers above hit the nail on the head perfectly. I love my Mi A2 as it gives me everything I need in a phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] emprazol:
i love my a2 too but slow storage is on the down side

copying 2 gb file takes 5 min

flashing the phone via edl mode takes 1200 seconds
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] soulicro:
Sure, sort of. On the one hand, the overall better specs of the F1 has me feeling like I missed out. On the other, though - I knew ahead of time that whatever phone I'll end up getting will be an Android One phone, so... that takes the F1 out of the picture, anyway. Also... I doubt the F1 will still cost ~300USD outside of India.

For a very long time I messed around with custom ROMs, rooting, etc. With the 5X I started feeling like I'm not missing much by not going that route. The most important thing for me is that the company whose reputation is on the line (in this case, Google - since Android One, and all) pushes out security and feature updates in a timely manner.

I also vehemently agree with the notion that "something better is always around the corner" - getting the latest and greatest is a game you'll always lose, unless you have a lot of disposable income. But then we wouldn't be comparing the A2 and the F1, would we? ;)

Think about it this way - imagine what the Poco F3/F4 will bring in two-three years time, when we're due for an upgrade!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] dodjob:
A bit OT but it's funny to see how many n5x users are gathering in the mia2 thread ^^ I'm very happy about my mia2 I was concerned about the battery but I get now about 6 hours SOT and that's all I needed. On top of this, the camera is really great. I think that in a few months we will have real nice devices with all we need anted from a phone. ???
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] beowafle:
I'm having this problem with apps that don't let you select the system equalizer. I suspect there is some conflict happening between the system equalizer and the app's equalizer. So far I have been able to replicate the issue in Pulsar and Apple Music.

It happens very infrequently, but sometimes when I tap on a song to play it I get a max volume spike at the beginning of the song. It's very quick but still very annoying.

Apps like Blackplayer that let me specifically select the system equalizer are working fine. Also the apps that don't have any equalizer and rely on the system equalizer work fine.

The problem is only with apps that let you turn on their own equalizer. The reason why I'd want to turn their equalizer on is that the systemwide one doesn't work with these apps.

Does anyone else face the same issue? Do you have any non-root solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] stu5797:
Phantomskinz is awesome! Almost feels like glass its so smooth, insanely clear, and works more than perfect with the Spen. I cant tell you how happy with the way this came out from the presentation on the skin, easy directions all the way to an easy perfect install. Can hardly even tell a skin is on this and it self heals!! I have used these on many of my phones all the way back to my Pre days and no others really compare. So happy with this and highly recommend!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] mys3:
Can you take any closer pics? I'm curious to the orange peel on it.

Phantom skins seem good value but shipping to UK makes it expensive.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] stu5797:
Absolutely no orange peel at all and my pics are pretty close. Love how this feels and looks. It's as if its not even there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] stu5797:
I would say I used a good amount of liquid. I actually dont think you can use too much. You want it to be able to move on the screen until it fits just perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Jammol:
So it is indeed wet apply? I may have to look into get one. Doesn't this also come with a choice of back protector as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] stu5797:
You have your choice if you want to get a back. they have a clear HD one that's similar material to the front or you can get a matte black film similar to dbrand. I think you will really like these. They feel like no others
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] @rbiter:
Looks just like the Spigen Neo flex screen protector. You can tell by the reflection in the second picture. Probably the same protectors but different cutouts to differentiate themselves.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Semantics:
Definitely not the same. I've had both. The Phantomskinz really does feel like there is nothing there. It's a finger print magnet like glass and the one I have isn't case friendly at all. I think there is now an option for a case friendly version. There is no drag at all like PET protectors with the S-Pen, either. It's really great and I would be even happier if the corners weren't pushing up thanks to my case. Huge bonus in my eyes is that this has cutouts at the top and extends to the top of the screen. It's a great protector, but not cheap.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
I tried the Spigen neo flex for the note 9. Too much orange peel, although the coverage was good with a small gap for cases. Wife had bought it for her note 9 ( still on order ) so I used one of her two pack.

I'm currently using a glass type protector. And a pet film for the back that makes the it look like a note 3 or note 4 back battery cover lol View attachment 4583468View attachment 4583470
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] @rbiter:
The orange peel isn't that bad and gets better. The neo flex is self healing to. I cured mine a little bit faster by leaving in sunlight for about 15 minutes on each long side. Probably the best regular screen protector compared to glass. I'd love to get a glass but hey always end up cracking on me even when I put the glass side against my leg in my pocket. Much cheaper than the good glass too. Chances are we won't get the great regular screen protection because of the curves. An aggressive glue would have to be used and I doubt most people want to deal with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
I lost faith in glass screen protectors even before owning a note 8. But the one I got out of urgency, since I wanted some scratch protection before buying a regular wet applied one seems to be ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] stu5797:
I tried the Spigen neo flex as I have tried so many and it is definitely not the same as Phantomskinz. Orange peel on spigen. If you want to be happy you should try the Phantomskin. I refuse to spend 40- 60 on a whitestone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] stu5797:
Update: This thing is the best screen protector you can buy. Has held up perfectly since day 1 and the spen feels amazing with it! It really feels like glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] destz0r:
is it this one? https://phantomskinz.com/samsung-galaxy-note-9/

That's it! Just make sure you get the right one. Case friendly or edge to edge. You will love it

I would like to try it but the shipping cost to Greece is exactly like the glasses cost. [emoji26]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] stu5797:
Gottriaa... Isnt it awesome? Better than any other protector. Glass feeling and self healing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] destz0r:
well i wanted to buy one, but for me the shipping cost is the same as the price of the product itself.. so nvm (im from belgium)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
Just ordered a set, I'll be sure to post a review after I get it in and try it out. So far I tried IQ Shield, Delta Shield and ILLUMI AquaShield. All three are sold on Amazon and are exactly the same material and packaging besides the label on the box. They scuff easy and do not self heal as stated. Hopefully this one lives up to the claims of self healing and the pen marks go away.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
Not so good

I received my Phantomskinz today and I can say I am not all that impressed. Besides the cutouts for the sensors there isn't any difference from DeltaSheild. There is a slight orange peel to it for sure. The clear skin for the back is the same. Granted it is very minimal but it is there unlike the Zagg on my wife's Note 8 witch is invisible. The pen marks the screen just like the DeltaSheild but it dose go away on the two.The install process is about the same as other wet applications but the protective sheet came off on both install attempts before it should have. For whatever reason both of mine had creases already on the corners. Maybe I got a dud box but either way it didn't go well for me. $25 in the trash can. For now it's back to Zagg glass for me.
