So I just got my Active2 and I have the Essential PH-1 running Android 10 fully stock with Sprint and it says that my phone isn't compatible with mobile service for this watch, when I try to connect it. Have all updated and required Samsung apps as far as I know. Tizen 4.0.0.6 Software Ver...

Everyone, We have TWO PH-1 phones. Both are still on Android Pie awaiting a little more maturity and for a couple of business related apps to catch up. Now for the issue: One of our phones has developed an unusual condition. When listening to a telephone call, the volume is VERY low even with...

I'm trying to figure out if something is messed up with my phone or sim or if it's the carrier. Devices can connect to my hotspot, but no matter what I try with changing the apn (apn type is grayed out) build prop, adb commands, they can't use the internet through it. Anyone have ST with...

HELP. As I wrote here on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/essential/comments/bf9mpc/phone_died_after_april_update_no_sign_of_life/ The phone appears on Device manager as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM6) under the Ports section. When the phone connects to PC, I hear the connection sound...

CHECK OUT POST #14 FOR A SUPERIOR PIXEL LAUNCHER MODS MODULE Managed to get Pixel 3 Launcher to work on the Essential Phone through a magisk module. MAY WORK ON OTHER PIE ROMS, NOT ABLE TO TEST Sourced from the Whyred telegram channel last month, converted the zip to magisk and changed...

Installed the November OTA successfully yesterday. I've got TWRP on both partitions, Magisk 17.2, and MM (Magisk Manager) 6.0.1 already installed. The changelog for Magisk 17.3 discusses better handling for phones like ours with A/B boot partitions. Apparently, MM 6.0.1 is already equipped to...

There is something off with my config. The problem is that I can't script any "adb pull" or "adb push" calls directly to protected areas of the filesystem. I have followed several guides found in other XDA subforums-- many several years old. None of them have helped. No matter what I do, I...

I'm cheap. I hate to pay almost 8 bucks to ship a 19 case. Amazon won't have these in stock for another month or two. Thanks.

Hi, I have my PH-1 for a couple of days now and I like the pure Android and as well the camera app. There is however one single function that I miss - and that is a panorama mode for photos. I do have the 360° camera, but this is something different ... I use the panorama mode very often to have...

Hey guys and gals, I decided to take my new PH-1 and root it after getting the latest OTA (this is an unlocked Sprint variant). I flashed the twrp for my build and there was an error, tried it again and the same error so I rebooted back into fastboot and it flashed but I didn't reboot into...

Got a new PH-1 coming soon. I'm thinking I'll put it through its paces by installing an alternate ROM from the get-go. I'm not trying to provoke an argument, but I'd like to hear some reasoned viewpoints on which ROM I should go with for the honeymoon period: stock, Oreo beta, or Lineage...

I recently noticed that my Essential PH-1 has issues when I am using Google Translate (which I use a lot). Does anyone have a fix :confused: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6UmKqcvIUg video in case the one above does not work for you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6UmKqcvIUg

I've either cognitively dissonated myself into loving this phone, or it is really quite good. The official camera fix did some good and leaves open the good possibility that further refining will yield a great result, or I'll stick with the progress being made on the GCam port and use the native...

Android Pay does not seem to work for me, even though it is enabled. Has anyone been able to get this to work?

This post is in regards to if you're in the US and ordering from Essential from the pre-registration. Black vs White? Only Black is shipping in the next week. White is a "few weeks" out still. Who knows about Ocean Depth and others. (As of now, matte white isn't even promised to ever be...

I wish to know if there are any custom roms or os'es that wouldn't touch my data using background processes that doesn't ask for permission to do so. Because these apps are either pre-installed or installed by me (which ask for permissions up front)? Or at least that I would be able grant app...

Hi guys, just my humble opinion on the essential apps that might greatly enhance your Note 10.1 '14 experience: Note 10.1 '14 A P P - E S S E N T I A L S - MyScript Calculator (Complex calculations via S-Pen, 100x better recognition than SNote) - Stylus Beta (Alternative to the original...

This is a looooong lasting battery! Received the extended battery yesterday and fired it up for a full days worth of use. I literally had to go out of my way to kill it by the end of the day because it would not die. My ATT Samsung Galaxy S4 is stock rooted, with most Samsung gestures and...
