Pictures sometimes turn out fantastic, and sometimes average. The camera seems to not know what to focus in on which leads to weird looking images. Also, for some reason, my pictures all have a somewhat yellow tint. Maybe my expectations for "the highest rated smartphone camera...ever" was set...

My intention with this post is not to get help to fix the issue, rather to understand what is going on inside of Android which is causing this. Here is what I did: Rooted the device (via Skipsoft Unified Android Toolkit) and verified root Added "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" to the end of...

Selected build: NDE63V Device module version: V1.5.6 I actually did not choose to install a custom recovery. I simply used the toolkit to unlock the bootloader and root my device so I can edit the build.prop and execute a few commands to bypass the hotspot subscription check. If modifying the...

I rooted my Pixel XL using the toolkit. My goal for rooting my device was to edit the build prop file and execute a few commands to bypass the hotspot subscription check. I would now like to unroot my device so I can get regular OTA updates and continue to use Android Pay, but I see the unroot...

Will flashing the stock boot.img overwrite the build.prop file? My main reason for rooting my phone was to add one line at the end of the build.prop file and to execute a few commands in a terminal to bypass the hotspot subscription check. I thought flashing the stock boot.img would undo all of...

I rooted my phone using the SkipSoft Unified Android Toolkit, and now I would like to unroot my phone. I've read that I can simply go into SuperSU and click "Full unroot" but I am constantly getting the "Uninstallation failed !" message. (Note: The SkipSoft Unified Android Toolkit does not have...

A representative at AT&T said this is a common problem with unlocked phones (One Plus owners specifically), and they have resolved this issue in the past. We'll see how far she gets. If she does not find a solution, I'll have to consider other options. Thanks for your input.

Hm, I did not know that. Any way around it?

I never had a hotspot subscription, but my mobile hotspot seemed to work perfectly on my Nexus 5. Never did I see "checking for subscription" on my Nexus 5. Today, after activating my nano SIM, I go to try mobile hotspot and now my Pixel XL checks for an AT&T subscription. This is a bummer...
