[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Syberclone:
The Axon 7 has been the worst phone for being bricked.

I've flashed ROMs on HTC's, Motorola and Google phones all without problems.

There are way too many packages and bootstacks etc, etc that cause problems and confusion.

So I wouldn't say don't follow threads or users advice.

My advice is research, research and research some more.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] djprez:
Thanks for the suggestions.

Something to get clear.....

I can successfully flash the roms and get to the Welcome screen to begin setup.

MARSHMALLOW:

-screen does respond to touch

-sims are NOT detected

-no AT&T logo

-no phone signal

ANY OTHER VERSION (Nougat, Oreo):

-screen does NOT respond to touch

-sims are recognized

-AT&T logo appears

-phone signal strength meter shows full bars

So, it's not a hardware fault. The phone was working perfectly fine when I had Marshmallow flashed. It's only this last time I flashed the Oreo from ZTE's website and when that did not work I tried a few other roms and then went back to the Marshmallow B29 EDL that I had been using all along.

Isn't there a way to COMPLETELY wipe this phone and start from scratch? As in, when your Windows is so full of crap and running slow you can format the hard drive and reinstall Windows from scratch. I have tried TWRP and format data (have to type yes to format) etc........is there a way to format w=everything that might affect the sim from being detected in Marshmallow? Better yet, the screen from being responsive in other ROMS after marshmallow?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Predatorhaze:
Did you installed a vendor partition?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] djprez:
I am not certain. If the Oreo update that I downloaded directly off the ZTE site has one, then yes. If that is the cause, how would I modify it?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] AnonVendetta:
[MENTION=1863967]djprez[/MENTION]: To my knowledge, ZTE's official B12/B20 do not have a vendor partition. ZTE will almost certainly never add Treble support for the A7, if they are going to do so then now is an ideal time, since the A7 is an end-of-life device and no longer being manufactured.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] KabalLV:
Does anyone here regret of buying a poco in place of Mi 8 ? My one reason of regret is LCD screen.

Here in Europe (Latvia) mi 8 costs like only a little bit more than poco (300 euros vs 350) and it has an OLED screen.

At the time of my purchase, mi 8 cost significantly more than poco for some unknown reason but after a very short time it dropped a lot in price.

Dont get me wrong, i love the phone and it really is incredible for the price, but just wanted to share
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] 3DRIAN:
Anyone wanting Mi8 for its display should always check Notebookcheck's review, they have much more detailed testing of the display hardware than GSMArena.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Moon75:
If you don't like Poco you can sell it off and buy other phone. Mi 8 has smaller battery for me I like 4000mAh. No phone is perfect it's just a matter of taste.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Navi44:
Not a bit. I love it, I can sacrifice a bit of screen quality for more battery. Better then sticking to a wire
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] dafreaking:
I hate some of the software kinks that it has. But otherwise the phone is brilliant. My call quality has improved significantly and that battery life is just amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Gimpeh:
Has anyone seen one available yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] StardustGeass:
This is the first time I heard the term "E-ink case"..

What do you mean by it? Are there any case on other phone for referral?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] DeVilio:
In our case even if someone will be crazy enough to make some eink case, i think that you will have to sacrifice wireless charging, NFC payments for start. For now there is no point of making such eink covers starting from big price for this kind of devices and ending at fact that you must make case that fits only one model of phones and imagine how few of owners of that model would need and pay for this kind of case. On the other hand you can make universal cases with different housing that housing only would be needed to change if you would have different phone model, but still, compare Note size and iphone size. Better forget it and hunt for Kindle promotions :P
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] 6thtry:
I'd like to point out the already existing LED cover:

It is model specific.

It uses NFC (for both power and control).

It is kinda expensive (but so is the phone).

Eink cover would simply replace the controller and the display part. Latter to a more expensive component than LEDs, but still not that much more expensive, considering that the LED cover is sold at 70€+.

The NFC on the cover does have an effect; e.g. wireless charging gets interrupted whenever the phone uses the LEDs on the cover. Other than that, one charge through that LED cover and I think reading NFC card also worked (but might remember wrong), so there is no reason to believe things would work differently with an Eink version.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Sim08u:
Hey all,

I've had my Mi8 Global edition (currently running 10.0.3 global stable) for about a month now and I've noticed an issue on Facebook Messenger where the app loads weirdly (see 1st screenshot) and then after about a second or 2 it corrects itself. Is there any fix for this? I tried going into the screen settings and making Messenger not a full screen app but the option is locked. I also tried hiding the notch and this did nothing as well...

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Also, on my AOD (Always on Display) only certain apps notifications appear, is there a fix for this yet on the Global stable rom? AND is there a way to make app icon notifications appear on the status bar if you do not have the Chinese Version?

Thanks all!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Dan Gerous:
Jesus, how I hate it!!! And Google knows nothing about this behavior...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Sim08u:
Yeah so far it's only Facebook messenger that does it and I've realised it's when you get the "xxxx xxxx is now active" notifications that appear in the spot where the status bar is supposed to be. Has no one figured out how to fix it?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] acee88:
You could always lower the dpi of the screen to something below 480.

AOD is a common issue which is miui issue and I don't think there's a work around.

The icons situation won't be available until android pie of miui10 is released. You'll need to wait till end of 2018 or beginning of 2019.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] mojorisin7178:
Hey my boss has the s9+ international version. He just got it from a friend. He is using mint Sim as his carrier. The phone is not rooted or modded in any way and never has been.

So he doesn't get calls or texts when the screen is off. Does anyone know what could be causing this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Adaken13:
check apn settings
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] mojorisin7178:
Yeah we did that already. His is the internatinal version. He said there is no option for wifi calling either. I dont know much about the newer samsungs because I stopped after the s5. Is there anything else? I was thinking maybe he needs to reregister on the network maybe
[Onetouch Idol 3 Original Android Development] vknecht:
SailfishOS (SFOS) is a GNU+Linux system using libhybris to leverage Android drivers from LineageOS.

About everything should work (except NFC, no userspace support for now).

You're root and you've SSH, set password in developer-mode settings. Use devel-su like you'd use sudo !

To use/flash SFOS (no wipe needed), you should already be using LineageOS 14.1 20181031 build or newer,

and have booted it at least once (otherwise WLAN problems).

See latest release post for OTA update instructions, or flash ZIP download link.

Warning : flashing zip over previous SFOS install erases it ! So use OTA to avoid that, or use integrated backup app...

Note : SFOS only flashes boot partition and install itself in /data/.stowaways/sailfishos/ so :

you can go back to LineageOS only by flashing the LOS boot image

you can reclaim diskspace used SFOS by removing /data/.stowaways/sailfishos/

Reference Wiki page on merproject.org

Feeling adventurous ?

This is a SailfishOS community port for the 6045 idol3.

This is not Android (just re-using the lower layers), Android apps can't run on it and there's no support for official-ports-AlienDalvik-emulator.

So please don't ask.

During installation, you'll be asked to create a Jolla account, to have access to basic apps (notes, mediaplayer, documents, etc.).

This is not mandatory (though prefered for the full experience) : should you choose not to register (and even if you do),

you still can install an alternative store using OpenRepos client Storeman

[Onetouch Idol 3 Original Android Development] andrejchern:
Hello, installed version 3, everything works fine, data transfer, wifi, all sensors (including case), location, mtp, calls and SMS. There were only problems with the store, some applications are not installed the first time, you have to install again, and so great work is another alternative for the smartphone, thank you.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Original Android Development] HiR3x:
I have installated seilfish os some time ago in my moto g2 and the battery life and boot speed its superior then any version of android ... ?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Original Android Development] tess1:
A very fast, fluid, and consistent UI in this ROM. An interesting one to play with. (However, for my needs, I need the PlayStore apps.)

I now understand how your work on Lineage was a foundation for this one.

I am curious Vknecht, what is your interest in this one?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Original Android Development] vknecht:
It's all politics, also it's the system I use daily ;)

some sort of hommage to a french industry of old (1898), rough-rided by financialization (see, can't build idol3 themselves)

fighting planned obsolescence

taking the power back on a device

powering it with an OS independent from GAFAM

having closer to classical GNU+Linux distro, though not totally open in the case of SFOS

Since 2010 I've been a Nokia N900 then N9 user (which ran with Maemo, resp. Meego, predecessors to SailfishOS) until summer 2017 when I got a Xperia X for the SailfishX release. Only ever used Android for a month, until the build-SFOS-for-X documentation was released and dived in the OS-building fun...

At the beginning of 2018 I looked for a cheap and decent french-branded-androphone (2Gb RAM, HD display) with a working LineageOS port and found the idol3 to begin a new SFOS port. It's been a long 8 months journey, where rebuilding LineageOS if only for the patch-level was not much, then also wanted to "upstream" some fixes or upgrades (eg. kernel) I wanted in SFOS...
[Onetouch Idol 3 Original Android Development] KUJO1001:
I started using my idol3 again and I love Sailfish OS as soon as I figure out android apps im gonna use it alot more
[Onetouch Idol 3 Original Android Development] zorro_tj:
Everything work fine, but the double tap to wake up the telephone.

Hi vknecht, great job, how can I contribute (donation) to your work? I've installed everything except Anbox, but I think I'll do it anyway, most of my contacts use Wzap ... Everything works fine except for the double tap to wake up the phone, do you know what it can depend on? Is it a function of hardware or software? With Lineage it worked, with Sailfish no. It's not dramatic, but definitely inconvenient to have to use the power switch every time. Thank you.

Best regard.

Antonio from Italy.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Original Android Development] h3cat3:
Any chance of seeing it on the Idol 3 4.7 ? It would give me a good reason to use it again. It's okay if not it's just sad that there's no updated ROM for this version... I could beta test it if you ever do that
[Onetouch Idol 3 Original Android Development] vknecht:
Hello, and thank you for the heads up on dt2w... so I had a look, and found how to enable it

(make sure developer mode is enabled and you've set or checked the password)

host $ ssh nemo@192.168.2.15
,---
| Sailfish OS 3.0.1.11 (Sipoonkorpi)
'---
[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ devel-su
Password:
[root@Sailfish nemo]# echo 1 > /sys/class/tp_gesture/tp_device/tp_gesture_id
[root@Sailfish nemo]# printf "[EVDEV]\nKEY_APP_SWITCH=KEY_POWER\n" > /etc/mce/99-doubletap-idol3.ini ; systemctl restart mce

The echo command has to be issued when the screen is on, and each time you reboot, for now (don't know why it's not already set to 1 like in LOS)

The printf and systemctl are only needed once to create the configuration file and restart the service.

Hopefuly you'll see no battery drain, so it can be enabled by default in the future...

For donations, maybe it will be possible later.

One thing I could do is try building LOS 14.1 with idol347 defconfig, but afaik it's not really working.

Otherwise one could follow the SailfishOS HADK using a working CyanogenMod base and I'd be glad to help, but don't have time to start it myself at the moment.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Original Android Development] zorro_tj:
Thanks! :)
[Onetouch Idol 3 Original Android Development] vknecht:
You're welcome :) For now I don't see any drain, let's hope it stays like this.

I found out that the ini file is not necessary if one sets tp_gesture_id to 2, but still have to set this value on boot

and/or find why it's not the same as in LineageOS by default.

3.0.1.11 release for idol3 is still in devel phase, once it's ready (~ one week or so) it will be published in testing phase and then you'll be able to do

OTA through commandline.

One can flash a devel-image, but then can't rely on OTA : will have to re-flash a testing-image or do risky/unsupported repository-switch.

Those are generally built using SailfishOS porters' Gitlab-CI group, latest being the 20190227 devel image

SailfishOS 3.0.1.11 beta3 beta2 Constant reboots, hangs and reboots.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Original Android Development] vknecht:
Sorry to hear that... does it happen regularly/systematically and quite early after boot, or after (somehow) extensive usage, especially browser ?

I supposed you tried with flashing as well as OTA ?

A known cause for reboot is fixed in this build (and beta2 iirc) by an updated connman package ("rpm -qi connman" shows ip6tfix in version).

Maybe it's related to Yama security, will make a build without it...
[Onetouch Idol 3 Original Android Development] andrejchern:

It uses the same kernel as 3.0.0.8, ie. without yama, pstore and iirc RTC write support...

[Onetouch Idol 3 Original Android Development] vknecht:
Hello ! Glad you like it :)

Right, text prediction is missing in community ports, it's one of the few proprietary components

only available in official ports (like MS Exchange and Android apps support)...

But ! There's in fact a free&libre app which I didn't try yet : SailfishKeyboard

Should be installable easily using Storeman.

Although it doesn't support many languages yet, there are instructions for adding new ones...

Hello, i've got a hand on 6045k model, and tried latest sailfish os (beta7). It is a very interesting project. I couldn't log in to google acc, and sync my contacts, not even import vcf, or carddav. Do you have some information about that? Thanks.

Hello,

did you add the G account using Settings -> Accounts -> Add account ?

Same place to add a CardDav account. Never tried it but should work afaik...

Importing VCF should work by copying file on phone then Settings -> Apps -> People

or open it in from Storage explorer...

Since Ubuntu Touch uses most of the same stuff as SailfishOS...

How difficult would it be to get Ubuntu touch running?

Is it as simple as linking the config used for SailfishOS up to Ubuntu touch, or is it more like, you need to create drivers specifically for ubuntu touch? (Because I would love to see ubuntu running on my 6045Y!)
[Onetouch Idol 3 Original Android Development] vknecht:
It shouldn't be too difficult since most of the components (kernel, device/vendor trees) and config (fixup-mountpoints) should be reusable and without too much surprises, but Halium porting procedure should still be followed.
