^thanks, it says that it is not eligible for carrier unlock which is strange becuz i bought the fone (not on a payment lease). stranger that i dont know what the carrier unlock has to do with the bootloader (to me, it sounds like the volume knob on a car stereo causing the engine to overheat)...

thanks to yoo both. i bought the fone outrite (no lease plan) so its mine. my previous fone was an essential so I never knew the carrier got in the way of unlocking the boot loader... but i remember having to wait til after payoff to get the fone carrier unlocked ( which is different). i...

hi, i bought a oneplus 8 5g from sprint today and i am trying to root it before i load my stuff to it (the bootloader menu mentions its product name is kona). when i go to developer options, i am able to turn on usb debugging but oem unlocking is greyed out. [[email protected] ~]# adb reboot...

hi, i have an essential running lineage-os with a broken screen. how does one copy data off of it to my fedora laptop. the fone vibrates when i touch the fingerprint reader and i see from my wifi router admin page that the fones i.p. is present. the charging lite l.e.d. comes on when plugged in...

hi, i have an essential fone and a 360 camera. when i copy fotos to my pc it looks like a salvador dali drawing and i am unable to drag the field of view around. however videos work in vlc (but not mplayer/kodi). is there a viewer that is able to view these pictures as intended. also, is there...

thanks, then i think wireless charging would be possible (if one fabricates a receiving coil to those pins -- i have one for the galaxy note-3 so maybe i can tape the leads to the essential somehow (i'd hate to use solder)).

[lineage-14.1:20171130]hi, when i switch to the rear facing cam in hangouts its in black and white (every other fone/tablet the rear cam in hangouts is in color). shooting videos of hangouts its in color. also this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/hangouts-audio-wont-hdmi-t3722443

thanks, i get an icon indicating its a 360° pic. but when i click on it, it says 'this 360° picture cannot be displayed. maybe my lineage-os install is interfering somehow ?
