If you can do without Google docs and drive, I say skip the Google hack. It's kinda risky. Even if you use the Mate XS as is without the hack, you can still use some Google services. Gmail still works through Microsoft Outlook. Google calendar works through Business Calendar. Google Maps load...

Thank you. Two questions: 1: the older method (from that Spanish video) worked for me. And even though there are error messages the first time I open any Google app, simply turning off the notification will stop it from popping up again. So I've been doing that with no real issues. Does the...

TechTablets basically got scammed. That website he listed NEVER worked, was NEVER the real LZ play. his phones had already installed GMS via the REAL LZPlay. He was cocky in the comments too -- when readers said "you debunked headlines!" he'd respond saying "yeah maybe those sites should...

Want to add my two cents: The Mate 20 phones introduces a new swiping navigation system that is very very similar to Xiaomis implementation. After using iPhone X I do find traditional Android buttons outdated and waste of screen space so I like huaweis swiping alot. BUT while swiping works...

Here's a video hands on with the global ROM, which fixes many of the issues of the China ROM including third party launcher support https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dhr5kAR1zLM

So I also installed nova and had the same swipe navigation bug. But then I chose another swipe method (#4, "back on the left") and now my home swiping gesture works fine WITH nova. I am not sure if this is just unique to my device, but it appears the bug only affects the first swipe option...

Hi Justin, thanks so much for all the help so far on this forum. But whole installing this app you suggested, I might have stumbled into a native fix for the "third party launched breaks swiping home button" thing. Like you, I went into adb and deleted stock Oppo launcher in favor of a custom...

1: The mechanism feels very durable, and 95% of the time the camera pops up fast. I have encountered 5% of time when the camera would pop up but the camera app takes an additional second or two to load. 2: nope. Unable to use nova launcher unless you into adb and do all types of advanced phone...

Anyone here manage to get a third party launcher on the find X? I am so annoyed that, Oppo, like Vivo, made the process just about impossible it seems. On the Vivo NEX, at least you just need to sign up for a vivo account. But on the find X, even with an Oppo account I can't get nova on. The...

Jesus, yes I've tried it. This is the last time I'm answering this: YOU CANNOT USE NOVA OR ANY THIRD PARTY LAUNCHER UNLESS YOU HAVE A VIVO ACCOUNT with the Nex. This is a NEW development, as the Vivo X21 can handle third party launcher without a Vivo account fine. I have no idea how, despite...

---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 AM ---------- [/COLOR] I have the vivo x21 (and oppo r15 pro) too. The Nova problem is unique to the nex. I was able to get Nova on the vivo x21 and oppo r15 pro fine. But in nex you MUST HAVE A vivo account. Trust me...

I have the Nex. To answer some questions here: No google out of box but vivo's app store has a "Google installer" app that gives you Google play store and services framework. After that just go into the actual play store and load up the rest. So far everything running fine. Can't install third...

I have the Vivo Nex now. Can't use third party launcher unless you sign up for a vivo account which can only be done with a China phone number. This is a new development as I was able to get nova on vivo x21 without account. Really annoying.

Dude.... Most of these problems you should have KNOWN before you made the purchase. Like, you like physical home button and the Mate 9 specific single button gesture. You don't like Android oreo... You don't like back fingerprint reader... Then why buy it? And why sells the Mate 9 pro so fast...

I'm late to this thread but this is just an insane comment. Both the s8+ and note 8 are so so so so similar and virtually the same phone save for a stylus and a second camera that can take gimmick bokeh shots. I get this is a note forum but holy hell the way some of y'all trash the s8+ and act...

The S8 lost to the G6 in a drop test, but surprised to see the S8 lasting than long before cracking. https://www.forbes.com/sites/bensin/2017/05/16/drop-test-samsung-galaxy-s8-vs-lg-g6-video/

thank you kind sir!

Hi Rashard, I too want to have navigation buttons always on the home screen, disappearing only when I go into apps. I tried the command you listed to exclude my launcher (Nova) and it didn't work. once i enter the prompt adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=-"nova launcher...

To each their own. I think throwing a case on a sleek galaxy phone is a travesty (I might as well just buy a less sleek phone like a Huawei mate 9 then) so I rather go caseless with a strong glass protector. Of course, I'm also very careful with phones: in ten years I've never cracked a screen...

i live in Hong Kong, so the phones have been available for sale here for about a week now.

i can't get over the Pixel's bottom bezel, lol

i have the phone. to answer your question, it's a Chinese ROM, but it has English as a language. and most of the Chinese apps pre-built in are uninstallable. the few that cannot, i was able to disable them and turn off notifications. after that i slapped on a nova launcher and my phone behaves...

i have the phone and have been unable to find any edge features. i too saw that youtube video and was trying to find it...

how old are you, 14? some guy started this thread moaning and complaining, myself (and others) came in to tell him he's ridiculous for thinking people have an agenda. that's all. ain't no arguing going on here. go home, man, this thread and this Note 7 forum dead anyway, like the phone.

never did i play the moral card. i dont think i'm a better person than people who insist on keeping it, i just have better common sense. the phone is dangerous and people insisting on keeping it. fine, but for the love of god, stop crying and b*tching about being called out on the internet already.

you're right, i don't care about your safety. i care about you bringing that phone on a plane and causing a flight delay or worse. i care about your phone going on fire while you're driving, causing you to crash your car into a store front and killing some old lady. foh with this defensiveness...

if given the option between either "going with a case, and no screen protection" or "going with a glass screen protector, but can't use a case". the latter seems the better solution to me. i mean, after all, the screen is the most important part of the phone. if the phone cracks its back, yeah...

do you find that the S7 edge's steeper curves/edges make it harder to use the phone one handed? from what i read, the Note 7 was a huge improvement over the S7E in that because the curve got toned down a bit. on the S7E, i hear people complain that when they use it one hand and move their thumb...

good to hear you guys in the US with international Note 7s are getting taken cared of. In Hong Kong, Samsung HK is refusing to accept Note 7s that aren't official Hong Kong variants. They even have the gall to say they will only accept returns if the customer have the original box, all...

Samsung Hong Kong just announced earlier for all people with HK Note 7s to stop using and return the phone. To be honest, the potential battery problem ALWAYS included China and HK phones, Samsung's HK and China divisions were just shady as hell and kept selling on September 2 when Samsung...

This is amazing. Samsung, under great media pressure, finally does the right thing and pull the plug on a faulty product (one that you insist had no fault and were just lies by media and scam artists looking for a quick payday) and you're still trying to credit Samsung 100%. the media didn't do...

To be honest, I think you owe the actual victims (people whose phones have exploded) an apology or at least admit you were wrong. Because from day one, the mentality among a few here is victim blaming. I wasn't on here going at everyone I was just calling out the three or four who as recently as...

So you think they've been 100% honest and forthright with all information since day one?

LOL, it's got nothing to do with being passionate about a phone. It's about you fools insisting, EVEN NOW, that the problem is that bad, it's just mostly due to bunch of civilians LYING, and then media EXAGGERATING. You guys were doing that from the beginning, which was fine. But even now, you...

Don't bother arguing with them, I've been trying to convince them that their continual denial of a problem and victim blaming attitude is really delusional but they won't have it. They will always think the note 7 is perfect and everyone who has had a fiery device is lying.

Oh, so it's all the media's fault, and there really aren't issues but media just spinning lies? The delusion on here is out of control and killing this board.

it's called having a job. are you, mav42 and pappcam really insinuating that he is somehow making these reports up? lol, man this forum is so useful and helpful 95% of the time, but freaking delusional fanboys just destroy the other 5% ---------- Post added at 05:54 AM ---------- Previous post...

Whatever, if you're still insisting you can only trust Samsung at this point (when they were not transparent about the real issue early on and slow to respond to confirm now) then there's no point in talking. The fanboy-ism on here. Holy crap. ---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ----------...

two incidents in South Korea caught on video. there's one from Burger King https://youtu.be/PnCGyzUf5rw

this logic is just absurd. that's like if a black father in Chicago tell his just-turned-legal-age son "hey don't drink and drive tonight!" and the son replies with "well i'm more likely to die from being shot by the cops or being shot by gangs or getting cancer from eating microwave food so...

based on what logic do you think that, for this situation, it's better to listen to Samsung (the company with billions of dollars and perhaps the company's mobile division ON THE LINE) versus half a dozen of unconnected random strangers around the world who have no real reason to fake these...

ah, so three replacement units that Samsung went out of their way to fix has suffered from the same problem as the pre-recall batches (in the first three weeks of release), and yet you still think people are overreacting. this is fanboy-ism at its best. what is it with you guys? it's kind of...

So you think Samsung, the company whose reputation and brand is on the line, would be more honest about what really happened than multiple reports from people who have no connections to each other.. that's why i posted the thing, because i've long noticed the dismissive, victim-blaming attitude...

Another replacement Note 7 burst into flames in Taiwan. I mean, at this point, are the few people on here who's always going "meh, reports are overblown by media. I'm not worried... that person probably made up the story" still taking that stand?

this isn't the first reported incident. there have now been several dozens, and Samsung's boss himself admit fault and pulled an unprecedented move. yet in every thread on XDA, there are people on here dismissing reports of fires ("it's media exaggeration"; "it affects less than 0.00001% of...

why are samsung fanboys so defensive. the tone on here after a reported incident is always skepticism and dismissive comments. samsung f***** up the production of this phone. accept it. the Bloomberg report earlier stated that the phone's battery slot is a bit too tight for the battery...

who is complaining though? the OP keeps referring to reviewers, but that's THEIR JOB to mention every aspect of the product so the consumer can make the decision. i don't see actual Note 7 owners saying "oh i just got this ... but i don't like how expensive it is." The OP's original post is...

I too thought it was a bit absurd that the New York Subway was making a fuss about using the Note 7 on board, because if a phone catches fire on a train, it wouldn't even be a big deal. But on an airplane, 30,000 feet up in the sky? Nah, I agree with the paranoia there. I wouldn't want anyone...

maybe because of the 90 some reports of the phone catching fire and combusting for no reason? i don't get why some people feel the need to "defend" the phone and act like people who are concerned are overreacting. i have a note 7 and i'm using it and i love the phone too (mostly for the build...
