[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  Questions & Answers] Kellsee:
I hope I am doing this right. I may be asking a question that has already been asked. I looked through all of the previous posted forums and was not able to find the answers that I need. They may have been available but I just didn't understand them as such. I am just now getting into this so I am not very tech savy lol. I am sorry and ask if you could just please bear with me. I bought an AT&T samsung tab e t377a at a pawn shop ( probably not a good idea). But all I intended to use it for was on my home wifi. A couple of years ago I went through a terrible experience due to a stalker that had had personal access to my home network. Ever since then I have became extremely security conscious with my devices. From what I understand this tablet has several security vulnerabilities due to the fact that it's not getting the security patches that it needs because it is no longer receiving updates. Right now this is where it stands...

Android version.... 6.0.1

Baseband version.... T377AUCU2APJ2

Build number.... MMB29K.T377AUCU2APJ2

Android security patch level.... October 1, 2016

From what I understand I need android 7. I became interested in rooting this tablet but it looks like there hasn't been a method developed yet that I am comfortable with. Everywhere else that I have pursued answers from has suggested that I may have to purchase a service plan from AT&T in order to get on to their servers before I can get the update to secure this device. Thats bullcrap! I would think that Samsung would provide better allocations. I may be way out of line but I know personally how much the security of these devices matter. Is there any other way for me to obtain the update?? I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!

If I went about this wrong or inappropriately I do apologize. I did search this site prior to posting for the answers I needed to prevent posting a repeated question but as far as my understanding goes...I couldn't find any. If I posted this in the wrong forum could someone please tell me where I need to post it? I have really researched the sources available involved with technology. This site seems to be the most reliable regarding androids. But due to what all I went through I feel that we may have almost took the advancement of technology too far beyond our own limits. I think offensive security and becoming educated as much as possible about all of your devices is the only true security that you can obtain. If anyone has any advice on how I could update my tablet without going through AT&T or could tell me where else I could look I would greatly appreciate it. Thank yall!

Also...if I am incorrect about my device and what I am needing please let me know.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcabrer3:
Hello, I received a RCA Pro12 tablet as gift. When trying to adjust some settings was asked for a password- which I knew- but I decided to factory reset It, thinking this would eliminate the need to re-type psw everytime. BUT after the reset, I knew this is some manufacturer setting put in these tablets by factory. Now the initial password I had no longer works.

Do any of you guys know how to revert this? Or maybe this other password is a factory-first-time-user password?

Thanks in advance fro any support! :)

[Moto Z Questions & Answers] herakikoly:
guys, i have inquire

which rom is the best ever

performance,battery,mods support,customize, everything

i'm on moto stock oreo

need your opinions
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] tsoump:
I think stock oreo with latest update is best. It has great performance and approximately 3h SOT.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1ko8:
Hello

I have problem with my M9

Its normally working, no overheating no lags. Comepletly fine.

But when I turn it off and on it keeps bootlooping and after 10-30 mins it booting normally.

Is there any way to prevent that bootloops before normal boot? It freezes at first frame of boot animation and reboots.

I've tried bootloader unlock, root, install another room, factory reset, wipe data and cache and nothing.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hovatek:
There might be a hardware issue involved. How many stock roms have you tried?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1ko8:
I've tried 3-4 roms. But I can't install RUU cause I can't find ORANGB10 RUU with android 7 or above.

So I think the one solution is S-OFF and SuperCID , am I right?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mohsin931:
Is it possible to have a kernel which already have kcal values built in to vanish screen retention?

If yes please some one build it so that we don't need to apply them through an app at every boot
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] cnjax:
Or better yet why don't you build it ;)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mohsin931:
Because I am not a developer
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] br0adband:
Most of the apps that apply kernel adjustments and KCAL work automagically already and apply the settings for you after the boot process is complete. I can't see it making all that much of a difference - are you shutting down or rebooting your device multiple times every day?

If not then what difference can it possibly make to just use a kernel tweak app that makes those adjustments for you after the boot process is done and then go on about your business of using the phone? :confused:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] smokinjoe2122:
Hey everyone,

So my Pixel XL is back to stock, 100%, and since I am going to get a new phone soon, I locked the bootloader. That being said, the problem I am having is: I can use the fingerprint sensor without issue to unlock the phone, but when it comes to authorizing some app usage, such as a banking app, it says bad fingerprint, can't verify. I don't get it, It unlocks the phone 9/10 times, but I can use the mobile banking apps like 1/5 to 1/10 times. And it's not just one particular app, it's quite a few if not all of them.

So I guess my question is, are the banks using like an old API or something, or is there an issue with my phone and the hardware? Is Android just that bad when it comes to using fingerprint authorization on these apps?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sb1893:
In the past, when I have cleared out my fingerprints (for example disabling lock screen security during those times TWRP couldn't decrypt), I have found that I had to wipe cache/data for my banking apps and then uninstall/reinstall my banking apps after I re-enabled fingerprints. It almost seemed to me like those apps would have some remnant of the old fingerprint data resident that wouldn't be removed unless the app data was fully cleared. I am not sure if I truly HAD to both wipe cache, storage AND also do the uninstall/reinstall - but I did to be thorough and it worked for me. Worth a try maybe...good luck.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jhford:
My deb boots to the Google Logo and stops. ADB was enabled, but not any longer. ADB Devices returns blank. I can boot into Recovery Mode (Power + Vol Down). I have tried WUG Fresh to return to stock, and the Unified Android Toolkit (UAT). WUG Fresh fails. The ADB in UAT works, for some unknown reason since it doesn't do so natively, but the return to stock process ends with an error.

I don't know what else to do. The device is way out of warranty, of course. But I love it, want to fix it and install a custom ROM, like I had before it broke. That's my story, sad but true. I hope and XDA genius can help.

Thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] prsa01:
Oops - forgot you had Deb, so will need to verify any of these exist for Deb or that the versions I referenced work on both

What recovery are you booting into?

Have you tried installing a rom?

Look thru the repartition and Los 15.1 threads in original android development. If you plan to update to any newer roms and use gapps you will need to repartition system for gapps to fit.

I would try:

1) install latest twrp

2) repartition (if desired)

3) format system

4) install rom of your choice (plus gapps)

4a) install magisk if root desired (did you ever unlock it? )

People are liking aocp or aicp in Android development. I'm personally using Los 15.1 in original Android development. The current nightly builds referenced near the end of that thread have a problem. Until it is fixed you will need to use the one linked in the OP.

MAJOR caveat! I am far from expert so someone else may give you significantly better advice
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jhford:
Perhaps you misunderstood. All I can do is boot into Recovery or Bootloader mode (Power + Vol. Down). I can't boot the device to enable Developer Mode and USB/Android debugging. When I try to boot normally (Power button), I'm stuck in a bootloop on the screen with the Google logo. So, everything is locked. If it were otherwise, I wouldn't need any help fixing it.

Thanks

[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] LDP12:
Hi all,

I am currectly running SoLdieR9312's Pie Beta rom on my S9+ (G965F/DS) and I am attempting to install a GSI but I get the following error in TWRP:

[IMAGE FLASH STARTED]

Image to flash: '/sdcard/download/GSI's/AOSP Extended GSI.img'

Calculating restore details...

Flashing system Image...

simg2img 'sdcard/Download/'AOSP Extended GSI.img' '/dev/block/sda18' process ended with ERROR: 2

[IMAGE FLASH COMPLETED].

I am using the ARM64 a-only GSI and I am flashing image to system image partition. I have wiped data, dalvik, system and cache prior to installation as well as trying to flash without wiping anything prior to installation. I have attempted to install multiple ARM64 a-only GSI's but all return the same error as above. I have also attempted installing with firmware and vendor BRE5, Vendor-27_ARI9, BRJ8 and ZRKA. I have also attempted installing after being on multiple different custom roms. All of my normal Custom roms (.zip) flash and work perfectly.

I am very new to GSI's and the XDA Forum in general so forgive me if it's a juvenile question, all help will be greatly appreciated. (Just incase anyone is concerned - I have searched everywhere for an answer to this but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere). :)
[Treble-Enabled Device Questions and Answers] LDP12:
Fix for problem

Nevermind, found a fix, my GSI images were in a containing folder so therefore not being read as being in the root directory/folder of my device. My bad :|

Driving myself crazy over here. I'm trying to follow this XDA thread, but I can't find a working download to N900AUCUCNC2_Full_Odin_Tar.rar. AFH is completely useless right now. If I go to download, it either doesn't find a mirror, or it downloads this 1.3 GB file at 50kb/s. Said I have 14 hours left for download, okay, whatever. I come back to download failed. I've tried on chrome, I've tried on firefox, I've tried on edge, I've tried on internet explorer, I've tried on mac, I've tried different networks. I CAN'T FIND THE DAMN FILE ANYWHERE EVEN THOUGH IT'S BEEN DOWNLOADED 25K+ TIMES WHAT THE EVERLIVING ****. okay. now that i got that out, please help me get this file :D

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ram4ufriends:
I posted same in OnePlus 6T forum as well..

I had OnePlus 6T for couple of weeks and returned the phone (might have got defective device)..

Wanted to see how Pixel 3 XL is and wanted to keep it as well...But I am not having good time with it..Software experience is not as fast and smooth as I had on OnePlus 6T...Have some annoying bugs (Wifi asking to connect after every restart, widgets asking to login after every restart)..3 XL has terrible battery life for me..I am averaging 4hrs SOT, but I got around 7.5hrs SOT on 6T and 6hrs on my Pixel 2 XL with same setup and usage...Turning off Always on display didn't help me either...

Pixel 3 XL Pros for me:

Awesome screen...I felt screen is way better than my 6T

Stereo speakers..I thought they are average based on reviews, but they are really good...

Awesome Camera

Always on display

Build quality

Vibrations across UI are pleasing as well

Voice calls seems to better as well compared to 6T

3 XL Cons:

Buggy software experience

Terrible battery life no matter what I do

OnePlus 6T pros:

Awesome software experience with added features here and there

Face unlock

Screen unlock (Though it is not as fast as 3 XL's back sensor, Still I feel front one is better)

6T cons:

Average camera (GCam mod is still being developed, so hope it can come close to 3 XL)

I felt phone is heavier

No always on display (I had Always on Display module installed, but it was buggy and not working)

No stereo speakers (I had stereo speaker module installed as well, but still not as good as 3 XL speakers)

3 XL cons are frustrating for me and made me think about returning it ..But I got this on $200 discount on Thanksgiving deal, so kept me thinking..

But I faced scary bug with 6T..Other side caller was able to hear me even after I disconnected the call..not sure if it was because of some defective unit I got..
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] blaze9090:
So I get around 7h sot with stock Rom and kirisakura. Everything left on stock. Looks like you got any rogue App?!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ram4ufriends:
I got exactly the same apps on Pixel 2 and OnePlus 6T and they were fine with battery...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aaronc_98:
I have both too and I am thinking of returning the 6T, because of the issues you mentioned almost comment for comment, bt my only concern is battery life on 3 XL. I barely make it through a day if I am not careful, with the 6T I would be at 50% at EOD. I have not rooted or changed kernels or anything but maybe that might help.

I also like the squeeze feature on the XL
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ram4ufriends:
I have tried all kernels out there and no improvement in battery life. Flare (EX Kernel Dev) mentioned the same...hope Google will eventually fix the issue...I didn't try December update yet though...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
same experience here, oneplus 6/6T is such a better experience
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] aaronc_98:
4:37 p.m. and I'm already down to 25% battery on the pixel I, I hope the December update helps with this

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Allesa:
I suggest try updating the pixel 3 xl to Dec update before making any decisions
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] capsnbottles:
I had both and returned both. Returned pixel 3 xl that I got on launch day and rolled with 6t until the black friday deal. Pixel 3 xl for 700 bucks is a better deal than the 6t at almost 600 imo. I rotate between the pixel and a note 9 on a daily basis. Maybe ill go back to Oneplus when the 7 comes out in a few months. 6T was the first Oneplus phone I ever owned, wish they made more cases for it. Cool phone, but nothing beats that Pixel camera
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rspkt:
I'm getting around 7 hours SOT with my Pixel 3 XL running the December update with ElementalX 1.02 and Magisk 17.3. Battery has been just fine since I got the device. Not sure what your issues are specifically that cause such poor SOT.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bigshotrob22:
I love my Pixel 3 XL. I waited for the $700 Black Friday deal as well. I wouldn't have purchased it otherwise. I was seriously considering the 6T but ultimately knew I wouldn't be as happy with it as I would with the Pixel.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] mac208x:
I have both as well. There's things that one or the other does better. The pixels pure google experience is awesome however the snappiness of the 6t is better. Overall the built quality and feel of the phone goes to pixel. To me the 6t does feel like a cheap phone in the hand. Screen is much better on the pixel, camera is better in the pixel so are the speakers. At least my 6t has an issue with notifications, they are either delayed or simply never show up. Camera on the 6t is just awful and whoever thinks otherwise really needs to get their eyes checked. Compared the cameras in photo, video. Pixel came out on top, then my girls s9+ and 6t on the bottom. Almost every photo I took with the 6t came out grainy, lack of detail and color. You basically get what you pay for.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ZzEzZ:
Not sure what you're doing on your 3XL, but I got over 8hrs screen on time the other day with 3hrs being YouTube (screen on). I'm stock rooted.

Maybe you got sent a bad unit.

I won't update since I'm about to receive another Pixel 2 XL (the old one is breaking).

Is it ok to update on the new one and then factory reset rather than installing with adb?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Absolutely it is. Let it update via OTA, then factory reset, then unlock the bootloader. If those were your intentions :cool:

I dont know if it is the problem with my phone or with the wall charger ... My pixel 2 xl no longer charge with fast charging ... It does not charge at all

My wall charger is a delipoo with power delivery 2.0 and since the update my phone does not charge at all , i have to use a regular charger
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Bwyan Benton:
I noticed that too. It turns dark mode to always on in developer settings. Something tells me that's intended tho because it only makes pulling the notification bar down dark when you get notifications. So it makes that dark to for when you get texts. When you change back to light theme, it all changes back. I use light theme during the day and switch to dark in the early evening. And it all ties together nicely for me.

Clear storage of Google Services Framework and Google Play Services. Restart and the update should drop right away. I sideload the ota but my wife is struggling to get the updates since September... This method works for her phone, after the restart the update immediately start downloading. She's with Vodafone UK though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] yeeahnick:
Pretty sure this is a bug. If you turn dark mode ON and open the contacts app dark mode stays ON. If you open Messages app dark mode gets turned OFF. This break the AA experience. For example, my AA will turn ON dark mode at night but as soon as I receive a text message it disables it causing unwanted brightness in my car.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] shishimaru1000:
Got the update on my phone too, but I also switched to another Pixel 2 XL since old one wouldn't charge fast.
