[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] robn30:
Did the P4XL go back to using Samsung displays? I know the P2XL used LG P-OLED. I just wish they wouldn't hadn't done away with the fingerprint biometric reader.

It's a tough choice to give up my S9+ and try out the P2XL. I've got used to the S9+ and the UI doesn't bother me, especially since I installed the Pixel 2 XL Launcher :). The S9+ is snappy and beautiful, but not root capable, and that's a bummer. S9+ also has expandable memory, wireless charging, and headphone jack. Man it's a tough call, I've been kicking it around for days now. The money isn't the issue at all, it's the giving up the S9+ itself, I have enjoyed it. It's the best not rooted phone I have ever had, and I haven't had a single issue with it. In the end, I am still looking to switch to the Pixel platform, but definitely didn't like the P3XL and I'm still evaluating the P4XL. We'll see what the P5XL brings to the table.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] quera:
You're serious S9+ cannot be rooted?

Root is essential for me. I can't live without AdAway, Titanium Backup and Island.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] robn30:
Nope, Snapdragon version can't be rooted. It really does suck as Android still doesn't allow backup of all app data via Google drive backup. I should say that developers have disabled backup within their app, Google doesn't control it. So you're left completely setting up your new phone for the apps that don't allow Google drive backup. Samsung has a great app, Smart Switch, but it still suffers from app developers who have disabled app backup.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
This method still works for backing everything up to your pc if you'd like to give it a try. No root required :good:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] robn30:
Unfortunately, I have tried this and any app that has ADB backup disabled will not backup. This is the same method the app Helium attempts to use and many apps won't backup because the developer has set ADB backup to disable.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Well ain't that a kick in the can! Guess that's why we like to root. At least for now, and until android becomes iOS 2.0, TiBu still works for user apps.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] robn30:
I went ahead and pulled the string on the eBay listing I posted. It's definitely a seller in Hong Kong so that worries me a bit. Luckily VISA or Mastercard are pretty good if you get scammed. Happened to me once on a purchase that was made out of China. The item I got was not as described and PayPal unfortunately wouldn't resolve it for some reason. Kind of irritated me that they wouldn't, but my VISA took care of it and performed a charge back no problems at all. If it comes and is perfect by all accounts, I'll let folks know it's legit. For that price you could get a fresh P2XL and rock on for years to come.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] robn30:
:D, a kick in the can for sure! Just pulled the string on that eBay listing. We'll see how it turns out and I'll be glad to get back in the root game.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
I wish you luck my friend, and hope that you can indeed root that device. However, don't be overly surprised if you can't ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] robn30:
Yeah if I get the feeling that it's carrier locked, I'll send it back. No way I would go this route if root isn't possible. We will see I guess, hoping for the best.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
This isn't correct. Verizon is both GSM and CDMA now, and as of January 1, 2020 they will be dropping support for CDMA completely.

https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-218813/
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
So now our pixels will now be on GSM? That finally makes sense :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] robn30:
Verizon isn't GSM. It's currently CDMA and LTE with 5G rolling out. That article simply states that old 3G and non-HD voice 4G will no longer be able to activate on Verizon's network. Verizon has never been GSM, to my knowledge. Soon there will be no such thing as GSM or CDMA, only 4G and 5G, and whatever comes after that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
The LTE network on Verizon is a GSM network.

https://community.verizonwireless.com/t5/Bring-Your-Own-Device/Is-there-a-GSM-network/td-p/1072919
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] robn30:
So I guess the LTE band for Verizon is using the same bands as GSM, interesting. Well I guess my Verizon Galaxy S4 backup phone will soon be useless as it doesn't support VoLTE HD Voice I don't believe. Once I get the Pixel 2 XL, I guess I could sell off the S9+, it will be hard, but it will make me more back than the P2XL cost to buy. Since I bought the other two P2XL's for my parents, now we will have a Moto X Pure and Moto G4 Plus as backups. I'm looking forward to getting the P2XL I just bought and getting it up and running.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
I'm not positive about this, but if the device (the S4 in your case) has a SIM card or SIM card slot, it should be able to use the LTE network on Verizon.

SIM cards are only needed for LTE/GSM.

CDMA doesn't use SIM cards.

EDIT: After replying and since I said I wasn't positive, I did a Google search. This is what I came up, and it answers everything in our conversation:

https://forums.tomsguide.com/threads/verizon-s4-cdma-but-uses-sim-card.357380/
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] robn30:
The issue is if it doesn't support VoLTE then it's still using the CDMA band for voice calls I believe. 4G is used for data only on a lot of the older phones. In that report you originally sent it specifies that any phone incapable of VoLTE will be incapable of operating on the network. I think the GS4 falls into that category. I believe the GS4 still has a CDMA radio. Kind of like these new phones that have every radio in them, like my Moto X Pure that I gave to my mom 2 years ago. That thing can operate on anything. I think the P2XL is the same I think, and my carrier unlocked S9+ works on all US carriers.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
VoLTE and GSM are two separate things. VoLTE is carrier enabled. I've never been CDMA, but I had to wait for my carrier to support VoLTE way longer than I should have with my Pixel 2XL. And I still don't and apparently never will have wifi calling (separate rant posted because I was looking itto that today ~ dead spots at my job/constuction site).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] robn30:
Just read that the GS4 in fact supports VoLTE. I have been on Verizon forever and have been using VoLTE for years now. It is way better than the days of CDMA voice and 3G. Before the GS4 I had the Moto RAZR XT912 and it was 4G Band 13 only and I believe still used the CDMA for calls. Definitely wasn't VoLTE capable. I'm hoping the P2XL will be able to do WiFi calling on Verizon for me like my S9+.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] robn30:
So here's the unboxing of the Pixel 2 XL I bought from that link on eBay I posted above. There were no SKU stickers or anything on the box as you will see in the pictures. The IMEI checked out clean with a build date of September 23, 2019, so it's practically brand new. Anyway, here are the pictures, let me know if it seems legit.

On a side note, I bought one for my mom from Facebook Marketplace that the guy said was a replacement device and it had a build date of October 28, 2019. Seems Google was preparing for lots of warranty returns and produced tons of these devices, even as early as a few months ago. Also bought one for my dad from the same guy with a 2018 build date and all three have far better displays than the ones I was looking at shortly after their initial release in 2017.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] robn30:
Only one day in but I'm very happy with this device. Don't think I'll need to go back to the Galaxy S9+. I do miss Samsung Pay, but will live with Google Pay. I don't think I'm even gonna root for now as I have no desire to use anything other than the stock awesomeness that the Pixel provides.

Using the phone transfer process from my S9+ to the Pixel was painless. I don't play games so I'm not worried about needing root to backup game progress. I may be wrong, but being able to take updates easily means more right now than root. I think if you're rooted you can't take OTA updates.

I'm happy with this purchase, and for $284 out the door, that's hard to beat.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If TWRP is installed you can't take an OTA. You however can take an OTA with Magisk installed. You have to restore to the stock kernel before the OTA then flash to the inactive slot after the OTA and before rebooting.

Hi i already installed GMS, and install all Google app. I mostly use Google map for my daily commute. It work when open app and navigate. However, after sometime middle of my journey, the app close down by itself. Afterward, i try to open the app again not working. I have to wait for a while to re open the app again. Any recommendation?? What wrong?? Thank you very much

How to unroot?

Hi, can someone help me with steps to unroot and relock bootloader? Below are steps I believe work but wanted to double-check before I do it.

1. flash stock kernel - I am using ex now.

2. disable all modules in magisk

3. uninstall magisk via the app

4. reboot to bootloader mode and lock the bootloader

5. reboot
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] abalam:
I think if you lock the bootloader again via fastboot that you are having a problem. In your case I will use the msntool or leave bootloader unlocked and continue without root.
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] LLStarks:
I live on the border of a 5G dead zone and I've noticed a number of weird 5G behaviors with this phone that might be inherent to NSA (i.e. using the tower's or neighbor's B66 cell for 5G piggyback), but only one has struck as me arbritary.

The phone will keep the 5G icon if you drop to LTE/LTE-A. Cellmapper is the only app with decent 5G cell detection and mapping that I know of and it makes a clear distinction between LTE and LTE+NR sites. The speedtests bear this out. Real 5G is 110 Mbps, fake 5G is 30 Mbps. If you connect and disconnect from wifi, only then do you lose the 5G icon and drop back to the LTE icon. You don't get it back until you re-enter the 5G coverage, which can be a few steps down the block.

I gotta say, the McLaren 5G is the Powerglove of phones. Stupid and badass at the same time.

Just checked for system updates on my Verizon Note 10+ and it's available to download. I'm not on wifi right now so I didn't start yet. But it appears we're getting it already. I'm kinda shocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] arsmithsr:
I got it Today it is installed. I was also somewhat surprised from what I had read we weren't due till next Month there was no word really about Verizon being one of the first in the US. Color me surprised it seems to work fine. You do have to update Dex on the PC I had to download the Beta for Andriod 10 then it did another update and worked fine. Dex on the PC did not update itself until I did the manual update to the Android 10 Beta though it just had the startup screen spinning.

If i install fax program in my laptop, there are some way for connect the dash to the laptop for use with this faxprogram for send fax??

Some kind of motorola phone can work how modem but need data plan in the line.:confused:

thanks
[HTC Excalibur] ghostwheel:
a possible solution....

I know this is not the answer you want, and I'd be interested if it is possible to use the dash as a fax, too!

But the following works: there are some internet sites that let you send a fax by sending them a file (or maybe e-mailing a file). I started using one that is based in Germany: http://simple-fax.de (I've nothing to do with them, and haven't even been a customer for a long time...) A fax inside germany costs 0.07 EURO cent per page, and to the US 0.08 EURO cent per page. You have to fill up your account with paypall, and you get 14 cents free for a trial. To this site you send PDFs.

Many other such services exist - I'm sure there are also lots based in the US.

Of course you have to think about privacy and security of what you send!
[HTC Excalibur] outerdepth:
Yeah You Can

:cool:

You can totally do that. Just go to internet sharing on your phone. If you have a data plan already, it will allow you to use your Dash/Excalibur as a modem for your pc to gain access to the internet.

If you need any more info just pm me or post on this thread. Later.:cool:
[HTC Excalibur] satru:
yes but do you say access to internet with the connection of the dash, but from the laptop you cant do call to any phone fax number for send fax.

if you know how.

thanks
[HTC Excalibur] Bupahs:
Try sending the text you want to a fax machine and see it it responds. I know you can recieve a fax call, never thought to send one LOL.. I'll have to try it when I get home and see if it works.
[HTC Excalibur] satru:
i call to the fax number from dash and the faxmachine in the other side respond, i can use fax program from laptop or faxprogram from dash,

if i would connect the dash, how modem ,to the laptop. maybe will work.
[HTC Excalibur] SecureGSM:
Dash is capable of FAX calls both sent and recieved. It just there are not much of market demand for that sort of applications these days. Therefore developers are hesitant to release FAX program for mobile phones.
[HTC Excalibur] satru:
almost program are for ppc , i tried install in the dash but are not made for this phone.

Hi,

I have a question regarding DEX...

My Note 10+, Windows 10, DEX and samsung USB driver are up tp date. Everytime i connect, DEX launches on my PC, i get the notification in my phone that DEX is running. However, in my pc, DEX will just shut down immediately after connected. This had happened since i received the phone after it was launched in my country. Initially DEX was able to run, occasionally. All i need to do is to restart my PC, and DEX will be able to connect. However, after the 2nd phone update, I'm unable to use DEX anymore. I used the original samsung cable and a few other cables to connect to PC, USB C to USB 2 type, tried them on all available ports in my PC.

Additional Steps other than updating phone and DEX that i had taken to try to resolve the issue:

1. Clear phone cache

2. Restart pc and phone

3. Change cable

4. Google (unable to find similar issue)

5. Search through samsung FAQ.

6. Searched in this forum.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance...

Dex was working for me ever since i got my Note 10 +

months back (launch dateAug / October ..? ) with my Lenovo laptop.

However a few day back, i got a notification to update Dex.

(I have done a few Dex updates.) No issues.

Done the update and now basically have the same issues as you.

Launch Dex.... does not launch..

Notifications on my phone Dex running...

Bottom line,

I'm sure it has to be a Dex bug..... software .!

I did not even attempt to investigate, as all Dex was working 100.%

Just waiting for the next Dex update.

My phone companion which was always buggy, is now working fine.

Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] willcor:
Just an update , to my post above .

I again , downloaded the "Dex exe "from the official Samsung site .

https://www.samsung.com/za/apps/samsung-dex/

Then "ran/launched " the exe , that then prompted me to completely ,uninstalled Dex on my laptop .

After uninstall ,i again ran the exe to install .

I did not have to install anything else eg ..drivers again .

Dex is now working ( launching ) ) on my laptop .!

Secondly/alternatively ,

have you connected you phone ,to just a capable tv /monitor and launched Dex this alternative way , is " that method" working , for you ...??

Good luck .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] radiikal:
I'll try your method and report back.

As for 2nd method, i had only tried to connect to the usb hub that came with my monitor (and of course the usual usb ports on the motherboard ). So far it's a no go.

Thanks for the suggestions and hope it will work.

Much love!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] radiikal:
After i did what u did, DEX actually worked.... For one time only LOL

After that same thing happened, DEX shut down immediately after connected.

Looks like i dont have the luck to use DEX after all :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] willcor:
Some additional questions, Maybe it can help...?

Does Dex work, if you connect with cable to only a eg tv screen.?

I just tested my device,

connected my device with HDMI/USB C to a tv screen and working fine..?

Is your pc /laptop, anti-virus may not killing Dex..?

Or your Note 10 device anti virus killing it ....

if you have any installed on device.?

Have you maybe disabled any apps eg with Package Disabler etc and now hav a knock on effect.?

Can you check with someone near you or local forums

to see if Dex is working for them.?( If they have any issues.)

Is Dex not maybe blocked by service provider.?

If Dex shuts down, does it pop up any "toast texts"? before shutting down?

If it does install a any "Toast " app form Play store

eg "Toast Source" app works fine for me. to "catch"

the toast popup, so that you can read reason for shutting down.

Question is according to you,

Dex starts, but is killed by either

the Device System or a 3rd party app?

Yes "something" eg app, anti virus etc is killing Dex,

as you are able to install Dex fine etc...... until launching Dex.!

Then Dex gets killed by.....?

Look for the culprit /app thats killing Dex..!

I can imagine this must be very frustrating for you !

Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] kentusan:
I've had the same issue for a every now and then. The fastest and easiest way I found to fix this is to pull the shortcuts and notification down There should be a small notification "Android System" USB for file transfer. tap this and change the USB mode to something else and then change it back to file transfer. This should allow Dex to see the phone or the phone see the PC again. Hope this helps!

I got the Samsung Note 10+.

i have been trying to troubleshoot this same problem for the longest time, where i connect my phone from usb-c to my pc, press start now on phone and samsung dex will just close immediately.

finally today i went to the my phone setting, searched for "dex" and saw "Samsung DeX" under "Advanced features".

This is my first time going into "Advanced features" and I noticed many settings were turn off here.

So i turn on "Samsung DeX" and it seemed to have worked!!! I press start now and the connection went ahead to my pc and samsung dex started loading with the UI. I have not seen this app for a long time.

Now the question on why is it turn off by default? I don't know. I was able to connect to samsung dex on pc without problems.

i tried again and it didn't work! so i had to trial and error again. i can't do the normal unplug and re-plug in usb and press start now because samsung dex will exit immediately like before.

I had to plug in usb and then press the Samsung DeX to turn it on in my settings and it worked again. I don't know why it has to be this way.

I also went ahead and turn on Link to Windows, Call & text on other devices, Continue apps on other devices as well. Just because I want to use all these features when I connect my phone to pc.

hope this helps anyone with similar situation
