[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pside15:
Due to my situation over the past few years I've been using the Samsung Galaxy Active line, S7 active now actually. So that really put a damper on my rooting and rom flashing which I had been a big part of since the Samsung Galaxy S, Captivate on AT&T. Anyway I'm in a position to be be able to switch to a Pixel in a month or so but I don't know if I should go for the 3xl or save some money and get the 2xl, which seems like it's still quite a solid device. My most important concern is still having plenty of development for the xl2 after the 3 has been out for a while. I'd like wireless charging but not a deal breaker and since I think the camera on my S7 active is adequate I'm sure the camera upgrade between the 2xl and 3xl wouldn't be huge to me. I would greatly appreciate any opinions.

Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jounes:
If you are running out of money i recommend you pixel 2 xl though pixel 3 xl is worth it ... At any rate you wont regret it both.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AcidNoteZ:
Go for the 3 XL, they improved so many things.

Especially the display.

If you don't have a previous pixel device, get the 3XL
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pside15:
Thanks for the replies guys. I'll be financing the phone through Google so the extra 10 bucks a month or so isn't that big of a deal. But getting the cheaper phone would make it easier to upgrade sooner if I could pay it off earlier. I really just want a phone that has a lot of development that I don't have to pay for in full because I don't have that ability. The only thing that's a slight disappointment on both is the battery size. My S7 active has a 4000 mah battery and it's generations behind. I know processors have gotten more efficient and such but still my S7 active is years old and still has one of the largest batteries in any phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] AcidNoteZ:
You should buy a one plus 6t if you care about development.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pside15:
Yeah, not really an option as my current situation makes where I would need to finance the phone, like through Google. I don't think that is an option with OnePlus. Would like to be wrong though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bigbamboo5:
I'm very happy with the 2XL, which will get much of the good stuff from the 3 over the coming weeks. If you can get it for a really good saving over the 3, that's the way to go. The 3 is an incremental upgrade.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] rodcpierce:
Ill agree with this. I just bought a 2XL second hand and absolutely love the device! If you are financing it though and can afford it, may as well get the 3XL.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] pside15:
That's kind of what I'm thinking. It's about $9 more a month to get the 3XL instead of the 2XL. I wish I could go compare the 2 phones side by side though. Every VZW store I've went to in my general area hasn't gotten their display Pixel 3s yet. They have to the phone to sell but none on display.

Thanks for all the replies guys.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] im_apoorv:
When am accessing Settings -> Utilities -> Quick Launch, the OS is redirecting me to the main Settings page. After a couple of repeated attempts, the app altogether crashes and I get a prompt which says "Settings keeps stopping".

[Samsung Galaxy J5 Questions & Answers] Choan:
I've never messed with a phone before and much of the jargon is new to me, so bear with me. I am in possession of a J5 that was issued by an employer who I am no longer with and would like to see if I can use it as a secondary phone or perhaps even replace my current one, but to do this I want to factory reset it first. It has AirWatch installed and has many settings and apps inaccessible, it is extremely restricted. I have looked around on the internet and most options for factory resetting that I have came across so far involve settings being activated that I can't access, so I was wondering if anyone has any input as to what options I could try.

These are some issues I have with reset methods I have read about so far:

Upon trying a factory reset, I get the "MDM does not allow factory reset".

"Safe mode" seems to be disabled.

The google account on it was not made by me and I don't have any password for it.

No unenroll option available in Airwatch.

Can't enable automatic factory reset, it's greyed out.

A method I read about here: https://xdaforums.com/general/xda-assist/solution-to-mdm-allow-factoryreset-t3327319 involves getting to the encryption settings, which I can't.

MTP USB device fails when plugged in to windows.

SmartSwitch won't connect, it just sits at the "Welcome" screen asking me to connect my device.

Odin requires USB debugging to be enabled, which I can't access from the settings menu.

Any ideas, or is it just basically a brick?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jeradjohnso:
Hey friends,

& Especially for you who are rocking the China version. You brave souls.

I'm curious to hear what you think of Huawei's default launcher? Opinions? Thoughts?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] piskr:
I'm using Mate 10 pro right now and I've bought Nova a couple of years ago. Nova is the best launcher for me, but huawei luncher is not bad either. I've used it for a year now heavy modified and westernised. I'll publish my review after I get the Mate 20 x next week.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jeradjohnso:
Neato. I used Nova since I got my Mate 9, but it sounds like only the Default will work on the new Chinese versions.

Are you getting the China version?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mudnightoil:
It's very functional, but relatively slow and laggy - that's my experience on both the P20 Pro and Honor Note 8.

The HN8 is my main phone. I'm using Trebuchet at the moment, which is immensely smoother and faster.

There shouldn't be a problem using 3rd party launchers after 9.12x.xxx updates, but currently you'll have to go the adb method of removing Huawei Home to force the OS to choose your already installed preference, as Huawei had removed the option to select another launcher as default after complaints about malware etc - after an outcry it's now going to be reverted.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] piskr:
Yes, but I haven't plan to use any other launcher than stock anyway. It has its advantages and it is more customizable than one might think.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jeradjohnso:
Oh. :fingers-crossed:
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Sebring5:
The Huawei Mate 20x launcher is A-OK. It is not laggy or problematic. If you want to use a third party launcher prior to the Huawei home manager fix, use Twisted Home Manager and gestures only for navigation in both the launcher and phone.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] tzdu25:
The Twisted Home Manager works.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jeradjohnso:

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] RedCriwx:
Dosn't work for me. Or I don't know how to use it.

The instant I touch over Nova Launcher it opens de app, but doesn't change the default launcher.

Can you tel me how did you changed the default launcher?

Thanks a lot!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Jerky_san:
They all say use wicked launcher and stuff but what they really mean is just go click nova launcher and it will launch but don't hit the home button or anything. You can only use gestures.. Which honestly to me isn't replacing the launcher when only doing setting the default launcher to me is "replacing the launcher"
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] g_woodend:
Doesn't work for me either. Have gestures only setup but any swipe to get the multi tasking view always reverts it back to the stock launcher.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] RedCriwx:
What did work for me was deleting the Huawei Home using adb:

adb shell

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.launcher

After that, the system used the other launcher available (Nova in my case).

The only downside is that the swipe up for home using gesture navigation doesn't work anymore. The nav bar though, works perfectly. It bothers me because on the Honor note 10, with previous EMUI, you could change the launcher and the gesture still worked.

Thanks to mudnightoil who pointed this out before in this same thread.

Got it. From typical computer window. While phone is up and running and after saying allow for the ADB connection on the phone. My hold up was changing USB from Charging to MTP and resetting/checking that USB is really set on.

I saw someone reported the default launcher could be staggerring, though I would like to share my input.

I have been using Samsung phone from Galaxy S5 and I have been turned the animations off in the Developers mode. I didn't see the difference turning them off nor the need of keeping them up. If you were willing to try without the animations for a few days, you probably will like it that way.

To get back phone you flash original firmware and after that flash

no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip from somewhere on this forum.

Probably your /efs is damage

After flashing some firmware original/ and roms I've get working phone but not for long. After some time once it was 2 weeks once after 2h I get network error and no sim errors like you did.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Bryan48765:
Odin is shown flashing U2 firmware to S3. The firmware should be U3, S3, or higher (newer)

New firmware might require Odin 3.13.1.

Unzip the firmware with a different archiver.

Ensure the firmware download hadn't been interrupted.

I do not recommend anything EFS (backup is ok) unless sure (a data wipe or firmware change should be enough).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] eLily:
Thanks you both for responding!

[MENTION=3579421]jaqjacek[/MENTION], I have flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip after installing TWRP. These problems occurred after.

Could it be that the SIM problem started do to restoring a LineageOS image from a Galaxy S7 Dual SIM (G930FD)?

[MENTION=7601417]Bryan48765[/MENTION], all U3 firmware are from South America countries. I have tried before S3 firmware, and have tried it once again, using Odin 3.13.1.

The result was the same.

Here are some details:

Flashing stock through Odin 3.13.1 - PASS :victory:

[IMG="Odin - PASS"]https://pictshare.net/i5a4fj6s18.jpg[/IMG]

Phone reboots, blue screen with "Erasing" message, then "No command" screen:

Screenshot of recovery right after (DMVerity success):

[IMG="Recovery after "No command""]https://pictshare.net/y9emhwlrpd.jpg[/IMG]

Phone stuck on boot screen. Only can reboot into download mode, then rebooting into recovery. While reboot I get a blue screen with "Installing system update" message:

[IMG="Installing system update"]https://pictshare.net/vpecxl7jp5.jpg[/IMG]

"Installing system update" changes to an "Error" message (wasn't fast enough to get a screenshot). But this is a screenshot of the recovery after (DMVerity fail):

[IMG="DMVerity fail"]https://pictshare.net/ddwxo5hshp.jpg[/IMG]

Does this makes any sense? :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jackherer72:
Try smart switch!:)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] eLily:
Yeah tried that but Smart Switch doesn't seem to pick up the fact that my device is connected. I can only get to recovery/download modes so I guess that's why..

Any idea if I can switch back to LineageOS and flash modem/baseband only?

Or do you think that after switching back to LineageOS and booting the system Smart Switch will then be able to read the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] eLily:
OK made some progress and posting here just in case anyone else will ever run into this mass :D

To get myself out of this mass I:

- Flashed TWRP, mounted system and EFS, flashed no-verity and cleared dalvink/art cache. BTW data wouldn't mount so changed data file system to FAT and then to EXT4, data then mounted OK.

- Then Samsung screen appeared and system booted (yay!).

- Phone didn't read sim just like Lineage couldn't. When checking the device information I now see my other phone (s7 dual sim) model number, serial number, no IMEI and no baseband.

So in short, my issue here all seem to have started when I (stupidly) flashed S7 Duo (SM-930FD) TWRP recovery file on my new non-duo S7 phone (SM-930F). The fact that both use the same file of LineageOS firmware doesn't mean I could do that and expect the rest of the phone to work properly.

Questions for you:

- I have a TWRP backup of before flashing the Duo restore file, do you think that will revert back to original model & serial?

- If no, I guess I will now need to root the device and manually change back to my model number (from SM-930FD to SM-930F) and serial number so that my phone won't have identity issues anymore :o

Did any of you guys do it before?

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] membersound:
Hi,

I'm having a FireTV1. My main goal is to install something with that multiple smartphones can be used to control youtube streaming on the firetv.

Important is that it should work without having to login to a youtube account on the firetv. Because eg my wife and me having different youtube accounts, both active on the smartphone.

As both of us should be able to stream youtube content to firetv directly, it would be bad if the firetv has to be logged in to one of the accounts. As in this case only one of our smartphones could take control of the firetv.

If there is some app, but that requires installing custom systems like kodi, that would be fine.

I'm a bit lost in the possibilities and would be happy for any advise how to achieve that.

Thanks!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fyrfyter:
Your first issue is there is no YouTube app for FireTV. You can thank the Amazon vs Google war for that. You can only screen mirror Amazon devices to Fire TV devices.

Secondly, what you’re describing would function best using a Google Chromecast, that way anyone on your WiFi, can cast YouTube and many other apps, from their phone to the Chromecast device.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] membersound:
Ok I see. Though our primary use is amazon prime video. So I hoped for having just one player...

So there is no way throwing videos on firetv in any case?

(I'd like to avoid screen mirroring. I tried that multiple times without satisfying results).
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fyrfyter:
You can have just one player, but the Fire tv devices are cheaply made. I’ve not had great success with them.

Now I’m using Roku, which still will let me do Amazon video. Not sure on screen mirroring but it does have a YouTube app. I’ll have to check if it will support multiple accounts in the app.

Without doing mirroring, I’m not sure what you mean by “throwing” videos on the screen.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeffro2700:

[MENTION=3266386]Jeffro2700[/MENTION] great, thanks! that worked.

so the only tradeoff is that I first have to start the youtube firefox/silk browser page before I can send videos from my phone to firetv, correct?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markiejones:
If you're a Kodi user with an Android phone, I highly recommend installing the youtube addon for kodi, and installing the yatse remote for kodi app. Once you've done that you can use Share > Play on Media Server (an option enabled with a Yatse installation), and it will cast it to the Kodi system the yatse app is currently controlling. Those are the broad strokes. If you want more info, like how to enable youtube videos > 720P/30 in Kodi, let me know.
