Google dialer waking screen here on a AT&T LG G8. I did have to "clear defaults" in the OEM dialer app (which is really contacts).
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Vexusia:
Just got the phone a few days ago and thanks to this thread for making me realize I could install the google dialer from the store. I experienced the same issue and then after a little digging it seems to work for me now after I turned off adaptive battery under Settings > General >Battery > Adaptive Battery. Because its installed from the play store it was considered a regular app as opposed to system and would get background restricted (in my case anyway). Also make sure background process is not restricted.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] lrgleaner:
Still having issues

Guys, can you help me with this same issue? I have a factory unlocked G8 and tried everything mentioned so far in this thread. I can't get the Google Dialer to wake the screen, no matter what I do. Any other suggestions on what to try?

I've checked sties like updato, samfirmware, and all but they all require me to pay in order to get a download speed over 10 kb/s. Downlaod time says 23 hours remaining..

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilyabyk83:
Hi. People please try to really understand my fairly simple question.

5 presistan shortcuts on the bottom of any tab, those that don't move ever.

I have them highlighted, best I could find.

Those are there always. 5 during when screen is unlocked, 2 on the left, 1 main App Shortcut in the middle and one more on the right.. I am pretty sure I customized it before so I would have 4 on left, main app shortcut in the middle, 4 more shortcuts on the right..

Tabs switch, they never do...

How do I get that bar?? How do I customize both on lock screen and when unlocked? Thank You for understanding
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] fabfunty:
As the title say I have a J3 with missing oem unlock button in the dev. options.

I tried the "date trick" from new S8/9 with no function :(

Any Idea how to unlock the bootlader ?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] MikasuX14:
I am not sure but it looks like your device has a locked bootloader, which means (saddly) that installing a custom recovery and rooting is most likely impossible. But that's from what I have seen online. Maybe some people around here knows things about your model.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DelphinusMinor:
So I caved and I booted up my internet communications and connectivity network desktop machine and hit Amazon. After days of weighing my options I decided on getting the Fire HD 10. I bought a Fire Hd 8 for my mom for Christmas and she loves it and with the HD 10 having slightly better specs and the ability to root I decided to buy it, the Canadian version. I figure with the Amazon branding support and updates would be more frequent than if I opted for a no-name tablet with "better" specs.

Also, I have poor vision and wanted more screen real estate. I have a Tab S 8.4 but battery life isn't great on it. So is the Fire HD 10 gonna be much of an upgrade from that?

Also my original question, are many of you just happy with leaving it alone? I mean after installing Google Play of course.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] GLRioux:
By and large, yes. Having said that, I've changed the setting to minimize advertising. I've also added the Hacker's Keyboard because the Fire keyboard totally suxs!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DelphinusMinor:
As far as I know my tablet won't have ads. It's the Canadian version. And yea, will be using Swiftkey keyboard likely. Is the Hacker's keyboard in the store?

Checked. It is.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] nmd87:
I had a TabPro 8.4, which is similar to Tab S but with an LCD screen, before buying the Fire HD 10.

The Fire HD 10 is not really an upgrade as compared to the Samsung, it has a lower quality display, cheaper build (reflective screen, for example) and is quite a lot thicker. However, there are some areas where it's better - mainly much better battery life and performance (providing you debloat it using the methods detailed on these forums). You have to remember that the Fire HD is a third of the price to the Tab S3 in the 10'' size, and it's great value for money in that respect. I've been really pleased with mine.

I haven't rooted my tablet because in the past on rooted devices, I've had trouble with apps such as Netflix. I did try installing google services, but in my experience it made performance worse and the tablet got warmer, so I went back to having a clean, google free and bloat free setup. I do miss a few google apps, but I use YouTube Vanced for YouTube and Kiwi Browser as my main browser, both of which are better than the Google equivalents anyway.

I would consider rooting if I knew it wouldn't break the likes of Netflix, Prime Video and BBC iPlayer, if only to use apps such as Adaway and Afwall.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] joeldf:
Using the HD8 here. 2017 model for my wife, and 2018 model for me. Bought them all without ads to begin with so that was never an issue.

Got the Google Play Store and using the LauncherHijack so I can run the Nova Launcher and widgets on my Fire.

No rooting necessary with all that. Of course, at first there was no root, but even with the ability now, I have no desire to go there.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] runderekrun:
I would say I liked my fire 10 2017 without root but I love it with root. Rooting and debloating is like a night and day difference in terms of performance. No delay when I hit the home button and actual multitasking!
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DelphinusMinor:
Is yours the Canadian version? I may end up rooting, I always do in the end. LOL
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] runderekrun:
No. It's not the ADs that made it slow. It's all the applications on it (that I wasn't using) taking up ram. Before debloating I would sit from 150M to 200M ram free. Now I can see up to 900M sometime
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] WillysJeepMan:
I have a Fire HD 10 that is NOT rooted and I'm delighted with the performance and capabilities. Here are the things that I've done to it to improvement the experience...

Install Google Services (including the Play Store)

Using adb I did a "pm hide" to disable lockscreen ads and "pm hide" some of the internal apps to debloat it without needing to root it.

Installed Google Home to activate casting to a chromecast.

Installed GBoard keyboard.

Remove the lockscreen ads without root:

https://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/general/a-t3820744

"Hide" Amazon apps to "debloat" it without needing root:

(this thread will list the options to hide)

https://xdaforums.com/amazon-fire/general/adb-shell-pm-hide-bloat-amazon-t3221466

Technically, the Amazon apps are still installed so in the strictest sense it isn't debloating it, but the results are comparable... those apps that have been hidden aren't running in the background and are only taking up space..

Using this approach, no need to root, and it is a simple matter of resetting the device to bring it back to factory.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DB126:
Similar experience with a 2018 HD 8. I have made a few additional tweeks including replacing the stock launcher w/Nova. I own numerous other Android gizmos that are unlocked, rooted and/or running a custom ROM. Control is nice but there's an ongoing maintenance component (varies by device) and the headache of apps that detect root. Overall rather happy the HD 8 as-is ... but I do have other choices.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DelphinusMinor:
I ended up installing the Play Store so I could use my beloved Swiftkey.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DelphinusMinor:
I also have the Canadian version with hands free Alexa. Is that normal? As mention earlier tho my email is connected to my US and my Canadian Amazon accounts. Maybe you were able to do this when Amazon first opened.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] DB126:
Canadian vs US vs UK is irrelevant w.r.t. Alexa.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] cyaclone:
No, I am not happy without root. I would like to backup the entire system with apps on my own so that if something happens I can reinstall. Of course wtih root , I would also like TWRP. I would like to find out how to do this without changing my current HD 10 (2017). I am not looking to root to make changes in the current OS. Anyone know if this can be done?

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] BuPL:
Even after the april update whatsapp is draining a lot of battery - other than that everything is fine. I'm getting a 8% drain after 1h and 50min of usage. I've seen other S10+, with Exynos, draining the same 8% but over a period of 5h of usage. Anybody else experiencing this issue? I've tried to put the app to sleep, tried to uncheck the "allow background data" option, cleared data and cache but with no luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Neodrox:
The drainage for you is it happening on LTE or wifi?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] BuPL:
Both, I think. It happens when I'm on wifi and when I'm out using 4G - but I honestly didn't do a wifi or LTE-only test, but will do it today.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] BuPL:
Ok, so I've been using nice catch for over 2 hours and nothing strange showed up. Only toast and screen wakeup have recorded statistics - removing my charger and pressing button woke up my phone, and browsing/whatsapp added statistics to toast history - I've deleted a few messages, changed wallpaper on whatsapp and opened a few links in my browser.

Will update tomorrow but looks like there's nothing wrong here.

So, yes. My phone did not wake up - only when I pressed the turn on/off button to check the clock a few times throughout the night.

Hello Everyone,

I moved from Xperia to Pixel and i really miss the Xperia's email app. I used to set it up to access email's from work (Exchange server) and i could see the calendar on Google's calendar as well. I know i can do this if i set up Gmail to access work email but Gmail has issues syncing Sub-Folder and the Outlook app is well plain ugly and does not sync with Google calendar.

Do you guys know of any email app that works like Xperia's email app?

It's impossible, unless Samsuck did develop and release it for SD410 chipsets and then some developers will have a hard time working for a port of it (which I highly doubt). Not even TouchWiz Oreo (and its ports) for SD410 exist, especially for SM-J500x.

btwwithout detracting from the developers,

I found on the web people who say can be that examples the gizrom30s android6 (fast and fluidity without a hitch) can drain more because a stock chinese rom android6 ,

a born stock type 30s chinese rom android6 with its ecosystem, , could drain less than the gizrom30s android6 due to the fact that it was not in any way '' distorted '' by the put and take off that is performed on the roms like the gizrom30s ???

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] tlyonstlyons:
I have not tested side-by-side but I am running a 8.1 based version of AICP. It works well and I can leave my phone hanging around as a hotspot for up to 2 days or so without it running dry. It replaced a 7.0 version of Resurrection Remix. It also worked well. The main reason I ditched the stock ROM was compatibility issues, most importantly it would not operate correctly with the Bluetooth connection to my car Android head unit. Both AICP and RR have proven much less finicky and more reliable and compatible. For me anyway, the stock ROM was less reliable than others.

There are so many variables with SOT and battery life that, yes, for how you use it battery life could be easily reduced or increased by almost any ROM. AICP lasts a long time for how I use it.
