[Nokia 3.1 Questions & Answers] chowy993:
Hi,

I was having the same issue as well. I agree it is really annoying. For me, it was happening with Night Screen and Gadget Bridge.

However, since I got the 8.1 Oreo update (I got it on the 19th), I have not had Gadget Bridge get killed. I'm finally able to enjoy using my watch again :)

I no longer use Night Screen as 8.1 comes with one built in that is applied system wide.

I've only had the update for two days, so I can't say for certain if the problem is completely gone. However, it is a lot better than what I was experiencing on 8.0.

I don't know how long you will have to wait for the update, my friend who also has the same phone hasn't received it yet.

Last thursday I got the 8.1 upgrade and everything works fine, no apps get killed anymore.
[Nokia 3.1 Questions & Answers] ARTman1820:
Anyone else getting the feeling that the new Pie Update for Nokia 3.1 Plus is wonky?

I have an applock application that basically NEEDS to be active in the background. Somehow, the Pie Update got rid of any apps ability to stay active in the background. I contacted the customer service... And they told me to reset app cache, reset individual app data, factory reset AND boot up in SAFE MODE.

Now that I've done all of this, IDK what to do with the phone. The rest of the phone works great.

Actually, scratch that. After the factory reset, my ringtone kept getting reset to default Nokia ringtone even though I changed the ringtone. It defaults every boot up as well.

Please let me know what to do.

I know this is a 3.1 exclusive thread... But IDK why there's no 3.1 Plus thread. Please do help me in this.

I'm pretty much screwed.

[Vivo V11 Questions & Answers] funm@sterz:
Unrelated question

1.How's the charging speed?

Do you think it's as fast or faster than vooc (dash) charging

2. How's the battery in terms of screen on time and standy drain?
[Vivo V11 Questions & Answers] Funk Wizard:
1. Charging speed is fast but not faster than vooc/wrap charge

2. Standby is good as it really kills most of the apps in the background and screen on time is also above average so I can get around 5-6 for my usage.

Gonna test it more over the weekend as it's not my primary device so will share the results on Sunday
[Vivo V11 Questions & Answers] mahanmantare:
voov charging is good at 1st 30 minutes of 50 percent but takes last 50 percent at the same time like v11 pro.so at 100 percent and time is same for both f9 pto and v11 pro.

remember '11 pro double engine charging is equal too qualcomm charger 3.0 supported by qualcomm 660 chip set.

so vooc charging is just gimmick.

result '11 pro charging same as oppo f9 pro.

im statisfy with charging of v11 pro

I figured it out, but I'll leave the thread up in the event that someone else has the same problem. DNS66 was blocking downloads from google servers for some reason, so I guess some adblockers block google? Disabling them allows the files to download again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Pawprints1986:
What i have: a brand new carrier unlocked samsung galaxy s7 sm-g930w8 - came with 7.0

What Id love to do: downgrade to 6.0.1 official touchwiz rom but rooted

What im reading: that the security patch is from february of 2018, which means the bootloader is too new, which means downgrading using odin wont work ( https://www.sammobile.com/forum/threads/36282-Does-Region-Matter )

... so what can i do? i bought this phone with the sole intention of downgrading, as ive seen that it is possible for that phone model (s7) in general

i hate the look of the newer OS. They took the touchwiz out of touchwiz which i loved, although mine is a rare opinion. I want the operation and exact feel of 6.0. the menus are simpler, the notifications area isnt completely stripped of features differing from total stock android. i hate having to pull down twice to see everything. I just really want that older look and feel, but all around, not just a theme.

is there anything i can do to either downgrade or fool the bootloader into letting me carry this out? is this a true limitation, or si that info i found false/old? and if I can downgrade, which build version should I use?

ive been looking here for versions

https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G930W8/ but im not sure which region to go with, or if i can technically use any region

sammobile doesnt list that version anymore at all ( https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930W8/ )

https://mobiletech360.co/samsung-galaxy-s7-sm-g930w8-stock-firmware-rom-android-6-0-1-marshmallow/ there are a number of options here but unsure of the different numbers/builds. or if since its carrier unlocked, i could pick any?

I know most will think im silly for wanting to downgrade or caring that much about appearance, but silliness aside... is this even possible??

a while ago, i purchased an s5 mini, and downgraded that with no issues at all.... but its honestly been so long and i cant for the life of me remember the steps i took or if i needed to care about region codes or other numbers. but it did sucessfully work.... it was really built unwell/cheap, but it did work.... its also slower than my captivate glide which is still my current phone, until/if i can get this s7 working the way i desire.

any help and guidance is appreciated. If it is needed, ill be using it with a Koodo mobile sim.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] tofueatsbread:
well it is too new if its from DRAG or so onwards (those with U2/S2 in the file name) so no dice, you're stuck with 7.0 unless you want to upgrade to oreo. (and 7.0 firmwares prior to DRAG cant be downgraded to either, not that theres much point doing that)

btw this is the wrong forum to post this in
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Pawprints1986:
But this is the forum about s7? I'm wanting to modify an s7?

Which part of the file name are you referring to? Which file?

I would have thought all s7's are made at the same time, and so released with the same overall software, but it all seems so complex now. I've seen s7's running 6.0.1 stock so in my mind it seems they should all be able to...

Not sure what you're referring to with drag either? Does that stand for something?

I'm really hoping this can work somehow, its the last flagship before the edge models which was why I got it, and I love Samsung software up until 7 and 8.

My mom has an s7 as well, not rooted or anything that's too complex for her, but she did the upgrade to 8 and it's still got all the same gross appearance factors that I don't like about version 7. I got excited when her phone wanted to upgrade, maybe they had fixed some of the grossness. But, nope. Wish they had included an option even for stock based or touchwiz based appearance and menus.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] tofueatsbread:
go into about phone and tell me the last 6 characters of your build number

(i was referring to the PDA file in a stock firmware zip)

(Also i meant this should be in Q&A section)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Dirty one:
Hello,

I can understand you and also understand what you want but Samsung installed a downgrade lock in their bootloader in early 2018,

if you installed this version you can't go back to an older version, I think that was in February.

You can go back from a 6.2018 version to a 4.2018 version for example but not to a 1.2018 version!

If you have a version of for example 12.2017, you can also go back to a version of 2016, so you can also go back to Android 6.01,

if not you only have the last versions of Android 7 or update to Oreo.

I hope I could help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Pawprints1986:
the last of the build number and the last of the baseband version are the same. But i did take a screenshot of it when i was thinking rooting and changing would be no big thing. figured that would be easier. i purposely havent even hooked it up to wifi yet or anything, said no to anything non essential when i was setting it up... on the chance it was starting up in version 6, and i didnt want it upgrading on its own.

also why would they block downgrading? It seems if anything blocking upgrading would be the way to go, to stop people from updating their devices before official software is ready, not just samsung but any manufacturer. in my head it seems silly to even need to root anymore... someone always figures it out, and cell phone manufacturers must know it. it would be nice if it were included, sort of like developer options, where its hidden, but if you know what to look for its there, and if youre not that advanced youll never find it.

if the bootloader is in fact locked and that is the main prevention, has anyone ever successfully unlocked it before?

ETA: Ive done a bit more looking around and there is alot around about frp and making you sign in to a google account in order to reset.... i have *not* needed and havent signed into a google account on that device at all... does that mean a downgrade is still possible though odin? Or, are these 2 things in fact unrelated...

eta #2: Did a bit more searching around, and it seems to be that in order to root your device, in the process it must unlock the bootloader? If that is still the case, would i be able to then flash the marshmallow stock ROM? Thats what i was looking to do all along, sorry maybe i should have been more clear about my planned method initially. Its a bit more nerve wracking as it seems rooting itself has gotten a little more difficult with that dm verity thing... but I definitely want root no matter which version im running. Ive had root on all my devices and theres no way im going back to a locked down OS (cant remove microsoft stuff for example), i need to be able to declutter beyond what factory allows lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] tofueatsbread:
TL;DR

your bootloader is currently on version 3, and you cant downgrade to marshmallow

see that "U3BRB2"? that "U3" means your bootloader is on version 3. i assume the marshmallow firmwares use bootloaders pre-version 3 so you cant downgrade to firmwares using bootloaders with version 1 or 2. (this is how it works for F/FD models and im pretty sure samsung made it like that too for the W8 models)

eta 1) unrelated

eta 2) F/FD/W8/S/K/L variants (basically all the exynos models) have unlocked bootloaders. only SD variants have locked bootloaders so it's just your misconception
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Pawprints1986:
So, it's literally impossible? Has nobody ever figured out a way to downgrade or mod the bootloader itself? It seems to me the rom makers wouldn't stand for this at all and would figure out a way around it...

I can see an old bootloader can't run new software, but it seems much easier for newer bootloader to run older software, isn't it? You can buy a windows 7 pc and install Windows xp on it much easier than you could buy a windows XP PC and install Windows 7 on it... It's just boggling my mind a little
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] AoEKiller:
Off course you can downgrade to Marshmallow. To unlock the bootloader, enable OEM unlocking in devlopper options. After flash TWRP 3.1.0 for Herolte and wipe everything from the recovery. Install any 6.0 roms on XDA for G930F then flash Magisk 17.1 to root and you're done. You can't FRP if OEM unlocking in devlopper is enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] iOrpheus06:
You'll trip knox (which breaks features like secure folder, private mode, shealth and Sbrowser private mode) and lose the comfort of OTA updates if you do this tho. Not to mention that you can encounter signal reception problems because your flashed ROM is on marshmallow and your bl/cp is on Oreo or nougat. So I wouldn't advise this method as it may break so many things.

A note about root; Magisk 17.1 will sometimes lose root. If this happens simply reflash magisk and reboot. The devs are working on it. We aren't the only one's with this problem.

Yes I know we are still having a problem with twrp even twrp 3.2.3.0 ! PS they should be fixing soon with the next update of twrp !
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spaceminer:
Currently TWRP lacks quota storage support, so it can't read the Oreo /data partition. You can remove quota storage from the fstab by using the patch found here. After flashing it TWRP will be able to mount the data partition. There are some downsides though. Disabling quota storage is slightly slower than having it on. And TWRP still won't be able to make/restore a backup unless the partition is less than 649mb in size. There were changes to the bootloader in Oreo that prevents making a backup. You'll reboot midway. TWRP 3.2.3-1 should fix this when it gets released.

Non functional camera app after debloating.

Hi, I tried installing and debloating the Oreo stock rom but each time I finish doing it and restart, the camera stop working. The camera app launch with the record and shot buttons but stay frozen. The flash also is not functional with a message that state the camera is occupied by another app. I have tried this three times in a row without nailing what app of those I debloated cause the symptoms. Any ideas is welcomed.

Update: Apparently if I left untouched all those bundled Samsung SmartThings and associated apps then the camera is unaffected. Hope to narrow the culprit by Descartes method one app at a time.

Update_2: OK guys I narrowed the culprit apps for wrecking the Camera functionality to the native Email and Message apps. Leave those two as if if you don't want your Camera app to be maimed. After trying for the sixth time the process of reinstalling and de-bloating the stock Oreo Rom I think I am done with this wild geese chasing ;)
