[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] ogkillergreen:
Nope that is the case for this case. Because of the weight it presses down against your finger that naturally rests by the charging port and strains it. I have the case but only use it when I need it.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] ry_t:
What case do you normally use? Any suggestions?
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] ogkillergreen:
Spigen Liquid Air is really nice. It's not bulky/heavy and it provides pretty decent protection
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] PaulDnoOb:
can confirm that cases like spigen tough armor can hurt your hand specifically the thumb part due to weight, I remove my case whenever I use it while in bed, I also installed a skin on my 6T to avoid scratching the glass when going naked, I recommend this one from aliexpress:

i second that. I ditched my OEM cases the second i put the Liquid Air on. the only flaw so far is a rough edge on the back where the soft plastic meets hard plastic. it could be a bit more grippy, but the triangle pattern is better than the ones i had on my axon 7s Spigen cases i loved as they were slick af on the back. i have dropped my phone multiple times in that case with a Skinomi and with a Dbrand screen protector. The combos saved my phone. The SPs not so much, but between the case and those, my OP6t is still minty.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] arknailed7754:
Ive the Spigen liquid air. Great case
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] mmarcz:
I went with the poetic case, for 360deg protection, after having a wife proof case on my pixel XL.

I exacto'd off the charging port cover because I didn't like how the cover pressed against the USB cable and caused pressure on the port.

Only downside of the case is that it's not a sealed case like the other, and occasionally I'll take it apart to clean it out. The kickstand predictably broke, but that's to be expected since it's plastic and mounts with a few pins.

[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] VautourLT:
I have the OEM nylon case and I have the same issue too. Holding the phone in portrait for a long time hurts my hands. That's why I always take off the case when I'm lying down, but the phone becomes slippery. I'm going to install a skin on this phone, so it's not slippery when naked.
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] HutchOven:
Figured I would chime in on this since I just returned my spigen tough armor.

I liked the case for protection. Had a decent screen side lip and good protection for the camera also.

However, the buttons for me were the worst part. They blend in to the side of the case to where you can't find them in the dark easily at all. The case is bulkier then a slim case but thats to be expected, it didn't bother me that much.

The kickstand was also very weak and doesn't work in portrait. I returned it and got a case that was 1/3 the price and is a little better IMO.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] actrite:
Hi,

Someone from Asurion just fixed my front screen on my Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-935V), and now when I make or receive calls the volume on the headset is too loud and everyone sounds raspy. When I turn the volume down, they sound clear but this wasn't a problem before they fixed my screen. When I put people on speakerphone, they sound just fine. I'm in the process of contacting them and seeing if they can fix this but until I do, is there anyway to adjust the volume from an hidden menu? Or any ideas what may have happened?

Thanks for you help...

I've run into an obstacle in my slow progress to a more useful Settings app (although I am on my last category!). The Locale Picker is not playing nice with me :mad:

You cannot access the Locale Picker directly from the B&N overlay, but you can get there via the Development Settings:

am start -n com.android.settings/.DevelopmentSettings

This allows you to change the language used in on-screen menus (mostly). A look at the logcat when the Locale Picker is accessed from this hidden setting menu shows:

I/ActivityManager( 1111): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cmp=com.android.settings/.LocalePicker (has extras) }

V/LocalePicker( 1162): and adding Français (France)
V/LocalePicker( 1162): adding Italiano
V/LocalePicker( 1162): adding Chinese

Whew! If you try the following:

am start-n com.android.settings/.LocalePicker

what is displayed is only the currently selected Locale/language and the "menu" is not interactive.

I've played around with this for awhile, trying various ways of adding information about the locales, but all I get is error messages about the activity not existing.

It seems clear that I need to supply some kind of additional input with my command (which is obscured by the unhelpful "has extras" in the logcat). So far in my online searches I have not found any examples of how that might be done.

Anyone?

Afterthought: It just occurred to me that the Locale Picker must be involved in OOBE setup, but am not sure how that might be helpful...
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Finally.....I found in the decompiled Settings.apk, res\xml\settings_development.xml, this:

<Preference android:title="@string/locale_picker_title" android:key="locale_key">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.android.settings" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.android.settings.LocalePicker">
<[COLOR="Red"]extra android:name="hideDevLanguages" android:value="false"[/COLOR] />
</intent>
</Preference>

And there it was.

This works:

am start -n com.android.settings/.LocalePicker --ez hideDevLanguages false

Can you describe a bit more? I know we need stock recovery to do local upgrade but

1. Were you on unlocked bootloader when you performed the local upgrade?

Was your /data encrypted?

Did local upgrade directly boot into OS with all the previous apps and data from Oreo ROM with no data loss at all?
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] BBuZZ:
With locked bootloader and local update, no data loss for me... Everything working has it should..

Upgraded from Oreo to Pie with all apps..

But always backup just in case...
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] abhibnl:
Just as I thought. The build actually create issues for people with unlocked bootloaders.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] ak198181:
Hello all,

I've been searching this topic for a few weeks, and have yet to find a viable solution. I want to grab some files out of the app caches on the data partition of my Pixel 2. I don't necessarily want to root it, because I have no desire to modify anything, just want to view some stuff.

I've tried several backup apps - which have either failed because they need root, or "backup disallowed". I've also tried adb using pull, backup, cp, shell, etc. It seems a bit backwards to unlock the bootloader, wiping the device of the very data I'm trying to extract. It's been frustrating to not be able to access one's own personal data ?

Any ideas? Thank you.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] orangepowerpokes:
+1 I'd love to have this answer as well. All my passwords are in Twik (Play store app). I don't think Google is backing up app data (or are they?). If I ever decide to flash the Pixel 2, I'll have to re-type all my websites, plus the private key. Twik is one of the few apps I rely on that isn't cloud based. I suspect the answer is there's no way on an unrooted android device.

Speaking of Google backing up app data, Google android says it can restore app and app data, but in my experience, unless the app uses cloud based data, it ain't happening. So why do they claim to backup app data? I suppose they are refering to Google apps, as of coarse, Google does keep your Google app cloud data anyway, so you'll have it restored when you log back into your android device.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Rukbat:
You could try using Helium for backing up data. Even without root, if you follow the instructions (download the file to a Windows box and connect the phone to it) Helium should work.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] ak198181:
I think I tried that once. But without root, it skips anything that has it's backup flag set to "false". Unless you know a way to trick it ?

I suppose all of you instagram users noticed that if you upload video story, quality goes to the lowest lows possible... I tested with multiple phones, and i think Instagram checks your chipset or phone model, and then compresses video based to that. I guess they limit quality for lower end phones, even mid range.... I tried with multiple mid-range Xiaomi and Samsung phones, same thing happens. With high end, uploaded videos are much better (tested with S8), but still nowhere near any iPhone's upload (even with old 6 plus, quality stays the same, instagram favors apple phones) !!!!!!!!

Im not trying to fake iphone for instagram, i bet it is impossible... But does anyone know a way to fake another high end android model, so instagram would let me upload higher quality videos...

I am a photographer and a videographer, I refuse to spend 700-1000 euros for a phone that i use for basic functions... I just need better quality stories!

And to avoid questions (or advices) about which video im trying to upload (maybe i'm wrong bla bla). I tested with hundreds of videos,and different qualities... 720p, 1080p, 2mpbs-10mbps... aaaany,any video gets crushed after upload... I upload same video on MI A2, and on iphone 6 plus... quality is soooo sooo different that it is funny... Also tried with samsung s8, it is alot better than lower end phones (i would be happy with that), but still not near iphone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Be4st187:
Basically, for the past few months I have been using Resurrection Remix 6.1 I think, but had to revert to stock to put in a Network Unlock Code as it wouldn't go through with the custom ROM. I flashed stock, removed root, unlocked my phone and re-installed TWRP but decided to go for my old ROM Lineage 13 as RR seemed like it was sucking battery when it didn't need it. Upon looking at my SD card, I realised it does not show in TWRP nor Android and it shows in Win10, but hangs the PC a little, but I can still view files and copy them over. I cannot however add files, not format the card. I even removed it's read only attributes if it had any and used GParted to try and force a format, but this card is refusing.

I did read somewhere, (can't find it now though for some reason) that if cards were set as adopted/internal storage on a custom ROM, that they may be encrypted and locked to that ROM. The only way would be to use it with that ROM. That does not work. I tried to reinstall RR and it's the same there too.

Have I screwed the card up? It's a Samsung Evo 32gb HC MicroSD if that helps. TIA

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] SchmidtyD:
Hey folks,

So I'm on my second H910 now, I went into the first one all confident and what not having done this sort of thing before on old Samsung Galaxy phones, only to learn that LG is a whole different sort of beast.

I followed this guide https://xdaforums.com/v20/how-to/root-h910-v10m-t3664500 and managed to kill the modem. I didn't do a backup (this time I will) and I just have a few questions before I start the process this time around. This Ebay seller has no returns so this is do or die (or lose a couple hundred bucks rather).

I believe the problem was, besides not having done a backup in LGUP, my first H910 had the H91010L software version, I upgraded my new H910 to the H91010t version, but I'm not sure if I should keep going or not. Am I safe to follow this guide: https://xdaforums.com/v20/how-to/root-h910-v10m-t3664500 with H91010t?

I then plan on flashing the version of TWRP in this thread https://xdaforums.com/v20/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3720239 and flashing the Alpha Omega rom 1.1.8 https://xdaforums.com/v20/development/alpha-omega-rom-oreo-vs995-h910-ls997-t3847510.

Should I be fine doing this after following the guide in my first question above or should I expect to lose my modem or any other issues?

Lastly, if I run into issues with celluar service again and try going back to stock with my LGUP backup, will that restore my modem/service or is the actual hardware fried? I've tried restoring the modem with fastboot and files downloaded on this website and reddit and didn't manage to fix the first phone.

Thank you for any help and feedback!

Edit: I stayed at 10t, went ahead with everything as planned and everything went smoothly, enjoying my new V20.

soo please help me guys as i can't afford to buy any Bluetooth controllers :((

and thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] hkjo:
Don't recoveries store all their data in the recovery partition, which is not verified?

Or is the assumption that installation will include stuff like Magisk, which modifies the boot partition?

Is the situation different with A/B partitions?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
One purpose of the creation of dm-verify is an attempt to prevent non-stock/non-official, improperly signed or unverified software from being installed in any partition other than /data partition. The manufacturers and carriers don't want the customer to be able to change anything about the operating system or any of the vital partitions such as bootloader and recovery.

The creation of A/B partitioning is another attempt to prevent modifying android devices.

Regardless of whatever countermeasures or partitioning are involved, it's all pretty much regulated/controlled/verified by the bootloader, in some cases, the kernel.
[General Questions and Answers] hkjo:
But as far as I understand, (when there's no A/B) recoveries just modify the recovery partition, which isn't protected by dm-verity.

So if you install just a recovery, it doesn't matter?

If I got it right, with A/B the recovery has become part of the boot partition. If dm-verity protects that, then I could see why it would be needed in such a case. But most phones still don't use A/B.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes, flashing recovery only modifies the recovery partition, but the bootloader is still what loads the recovery when booting into recovery, it is at that point that dm-verity can come onto play because the anything that boots must pass the checks by the bootloader first.
[General Questions and Answers] hkjo:
I thought dm-verity only checks the system and boot partitions.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The kernel is where dm-verity resides, the kernel is what interfaces your software with your hardware so that your hardware functions correctly with the software that running at the time, including while in recovery because recovery still requires the kernel to function, otherwise, the hardware keys and/or touch functions, your sdcard, your USB port, your internal sdcard, etc.. would not function while in recovery.

Dm-verify checks the hash values of the software on the device to verify whether it is the software it is looking for, if the hash doesn't match, it knows that the device has been tampered with.
[General Questions and Answers] hkjo:
If you're saying dm-verity checks also the recovery partition, I think I may have misinterpreted something from the TWRP site about dm-verity:

I took "system modifications" to mean the system partition and maybe boot partition, and the fact that you don't have to mount those in TWRP, an action which could be enough to modify them.

But now I guess they mean the difference between booting it without flashing (fastboot boot twrp.img) and actually flashing to the recovery partition. Is that correct?
