    Thread using google assistant from bluetooth device to call a contact

    Hey guys, so I have a bose quietcontrol 30 that I wear around for work all day. It has a little button by the right earbud if you hold down it triggers google assistant which is great. When I tell it to "Call John Smith, mobile", it works great up until the fact that it defaults to putting...

    Thread web messages & whatsapp keep timing out

    Hey guys, I've searched endlessly online and can't seem to figure out what the problem is. It's not the "optimize battery settings", that's where most of the guides online start with. I've checked the data savings settings and from what I can find there is nothing wrong there either. I keep...

    Thread Sync certain contact groups to car over bluetooth instead of "all contacts"

    Hey everyone I've done some searching but all I can find is the "old" way of doing this which used to work but doesn't anymore. You used to be able to go into the Contacts app and customize the view to certain groups, and that's all that would be sync'd over bluetooth. You can still customize...

    Post [ROM][OFFICIAL] 9 || walleye || VoLTE/WFC* || Theming - JULY 14th

    That's what I thought too at first but I did it a couple of times. My phone wouldn't boot last night so eventually I just gave up and flashed the stock rom just so I could get back to work. I'll give this a shot again when I have some more free time, I'll try a different cable or upload...

    Post Stuck at boot.. can get into bootloader but not sure what to do next...

    This was my mistake when I was having all of those problems. I was using older versions of adb/fastboot. Everything looked like it was installing alright but then it would just keep bootlooping.. was very frustrating. It was a relief when replacing those binaries with the updated ones worked...

    Post RomAur-v1.8- [09/05] - [8.1_MAY]-[Pixel 2 XL]-FAST-STABLE

    I think I am having the same problem as everyone else.. I have however admittedly been out of the loop on custom roms for a while now so the whole active slot thing is really messing with me. Hoping for a little guidance here. If I run the stock flash-all.bat (from taimen-opm1.171019.013)...

    Post Ridiculous root blocking apps somehow seeing past Magisk Hide?

    Hey everyone sorry I wasn't getting alerts that there were responses here. Magisk says: SafetyNet Check Success ctsProfile: true basicIntegrity: true I am not running a custom kernel. When I read this I remembered seeing a setting in Magisk to repackage itself so I went in and...

    Thread Ridiculous root blocking apps somehow seeing past Magisk Hide?

    Hey everyone, I had ADT in my shop earlier today installing a security system. It comes with an app they call ADT Pulse which lets me arm/disarm/receive alerts/update profiles/all the usual stuff you'd expect. The problem is for some ridiculous reason it's checking for root and I don't know...

    Post [TOOL] SKIPSOFT ANDROID TOOLKIT -Google Pixel 2 XL- Drivers,Unlock,Firmware,Root

    I appreciate the response but no explanation necessary. I know what I'm getting into when I buy a device that was just released.. and I further know what I'm getting into when messing around with it while development on it is only a handful of weeks old. Thanks for your contribution to...

    Post [TOOL] SKIPSOFT ANDROID TOOLKIT -Google Pixel 2 XL- Drivers,Unlock,Firmware,Root

    I was using the versions of adb/fastboot that I originally used with my Pixel XL without even thinking of updating them. It completely screwed everything up because when I flashed the patched_boot.img that Magisk generated, the phone wouldn't boot. And I was trying everything including the...

    Post [TOOL] SKIPSOFT ANDROID TOOLKIT -Google Pixel 2 XL- Drivers,Unlock,Firmware,Root

    Yes I read that also.. it's no problem I know it takes time to get this stuff developed and the bugs out. In the mean time to get my phone working again I just extracted the factory image and ran the flash-all script directly. My problem yesterday ended up being outdated versions of adb &...

    Post Stuck at boot.. can get into bootloader but not sure what to do next...

    Yep.. it definitely did. I guess this is a lesson for knuckleheads like me who start messing around before properly updating everything. I just did all of the same things I did earlier, and it booted fine, with root. Lots of wasted hours over a dummy move. :) Thanks again for all the help!

    Post Stuck at boot.. can get into bootloader but not sure what to do next...

    Circling back to how this all began, do you think those old binaries would have caused this to happen in the first place? What I originally did was push the stock boot.img to the device, used Magisk Manager to patch it, then pulled the patched_boot.img from the device. Then booted into the...
