App changer, home button, quick settings, lock screen and much more doesn't work - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't open the quick settings menu from the notification center and can't really do much. Only interact with already installed apps. I can't hange the user, I can't enable developer options I can't save the files via USB and neither does adb work.
I never worked with a Motorola, do you have any idea what I could try?

[HowTo] Disable heads up notification on Nougat (NO ROOT required)

After many sleepless nights, I found solution.
As we don't have in our stock ROMs System UI tuner, we can do this even without root.
First, you'll need ADB, USB debugging ON and Samsung Drivers.
ADB:
- https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
- https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118
Turn on usb debugging from developer menu (tap build number 7 times to show developer settings menu)
Samsung Drivers
- http://www.devfiles.co/download/AbRa7wHc/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe
Connect your device via USB.
Open terminal (command prompt) inside ADB folder (hold shift and mouse right click on blank space)
write :
Code:
adb devices
You should see your phone listed as numbers. After that write:
Code:
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
Restart your phone. Now your heads up notification nightmare has gone.
I FOUND A SOLUTION WITHOUT HAVING TO INSTALL ANY EXTRA APPS!
So we have all been getting the annoying heads up notifications that we don't want appearing on our phone when it's unlocked right?! Well I found a solution after playing round with my phone. First I changed the notification settings in my apps for example WhatsApp, Facebook messenger etc by going to settings > notifications > select each app you want to stop heads up from > allow notifications > show silently. Toggle this to on.
Now wait I've not finished, the go back into settings > accessibility > notification reminder and turn this on. Then turn sound on and vibrate on and select the apps you wish to receive notifications from. Then there you have it , this stops the heads up but then reminds you 1 minute later that you have a notification! I'm sure a 1 minute wait won't hurt to stop those heads up!
Yesterday I was searching a solution for my Note 5 and I didn't notice that it was the S7 edge forum.
I follow the tutorial step by step and it works very well too on my Note 5 SM-N920C NRD90M.N920CXXS4CRD1 (April 2018 release).
However, I do not know how to use this: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip , what is it?
In my case I use the other link for ADB installation.
P.D.: may someone put this tutorial in Note 5 forum too? I think it will be useful.
Great, except your phone then beebs ever minute until you review the notification - which can be incredibly annoying.
Thank you for this!

[Q] NFC doesn't work on Oreo 8.1

The NFC function lost after upgrating to Stock Oreo 8.1.0, while it works well on 7.1 all the time.
I confirm that I turned on the NFC botton in the settings menue, but the NFC didn't work.
I have unlocked the critical partitions before flashing, also tried OTA, but the NFC doesn't work at ANY TIME.
Anyone can help me? Thanks so much...
It works fine on 8.1 for me but I never unlocked anything. Normally the best thing to do would be to factory reset your phone and choose the start fresh option in the setup menu instead of restoring from a Google backup. Problems after a big update like Nougat to Oreo aren't uncommon and are nearly always fixable by doing a factory reset correctly (fresh start). But since you modded your phone something else might be going on.

Works fine for me.
I am rooted 8.1, Magisk, ElementalX.
I don't have any issues with it and I'm stock 8.1 unrooted.
I have tried third party Oreo 8.1, the NFC works fine.
Only failed on Stock Oreo 8.1.
I tried another time to do a new flashing with Back_to_Stock package 8.1, when flashing system_a.img and system_b.img, it showed a message " Invalid sparse file format at header magic", and after that, it began to flash the system image normally. But as usual, the NFC didn't work.
-----------
Anything related to the mistake? Thanks.

i've got the same issue. nfc doesn't recognize any card or device whilst it is activated in settings and nfc test app says anything is fine.
i'm using android pie but it was the same on oreo. my bootloader is fully unlocked. i always update via back-to-stock and fastboot.

I am running stock 8.1 and NFC didn't seem to work for me either until I touched a tag to the lower portion of the back and it fired. I was used to the sensor in previous phones being in the middle or toward the top. It would not work until it was in the lower 20% of the back side.
Don't know if it will be the same for you, but here's hoping.
yes, it was the same for me. i realized it just a few minutes after my post but didn't find it then. so i couldn't delete it.
I've been fighting to get mine to work, so far nothing. I contacted Essential tech support and they had me clear the cache and showed where the NFC sensor is (bottom part of the phone on the back). I tried using Android Beam to send/receive URL's with my old phone (confirmed that it can send/receive through Android Beam). Nothing is working. Debating whether or not to return the phone and get something else. Any help would be appreciated.
Here's what tech support sent me:
As a verification step, confirm that you're using the correct area of the phone for NFC. Unlike most smartphones, the Essential Phone's NFC chip is located on the bottom of the device.
If you are aware of the NFC position, to isolate the issue further and determine the best way to resolve this, I'd like you to try a few steps.
Ensure that NFC is enabled in settings. (Settings > Connected Devices > Connected Preferences > NFC)
Ensure that Google Pay is the default Tap & pay sevice (Settings > Apps & notifications > Advanced > Default apps > Tap & pay > Payment default > select the desired payment app)
Clear the cache in the NFC Service and reboot the device. (Settings > Apps & Notifications > See all apps > Three dots in the top right > Show System > NFC Service > Storage > Clear Cache)
Attempt to use the NFC service with another app or service like Android Beam (Settings > Connected Devices > Android Beam)
Chiming into this thread - NFC doesn't even show up for me in Connected Devices, on Android 9.
Look under connection preferences in connected devices

Keep it
Hi Lohtse,
This device is unique I spend days wake up without sleep to solve the problem of the apps and I realize something important
The problem is bad target system management by Microsoft development tools
Microsoft store is so dumb there is many helpful app but it want appear just by search
Some of the is apps "on papers" not match with your device system version but in reality you can install it and it will work
Now let me tell you it's not totally bad device if you get the exact apps on it, it will be almost like your laptop with many helpful staff
First
Check the latest updates and then you have to unlock the system so you can do some enhancements like:
Increasing Paging files from 256MB to 1GB
Transfer files via SFTP without using the USB cable
Uninstall official apps preinstalled like (Photos, Calculator..etc) -> you need this
And more..
Second
here list of apps you might have some of it but with old version:
Before you start just install the official AppInstaller to be able to install apps directly from the phone without alternative tool
Get it from here:
drive.google.com/file/d/1HfsBg8hiqlKBTroK0xvB45h_SiSBha_1/view
Also you need to read this because some of the apps need to modify the target system version before install otherwise it will not installed.

About Dual Boot & Windows 10 ARM
You know.. I broke my phone system more than 5 times one of them it was completely dead but I was able to recover it again,
the point is if you need to try go ahead it's good to see full windows run on a phone and able to run x86 apps as well.
But
Here is few points why it's not very important
Your mobile internal storage will be filled by 70% because of the windows partition
You need a usable phone to call and send messages, it's not comfortable to switch the boot each time
Windows 10 Mobile is almost the same base of the normal Windows it just Microsoft makes it useless but I hope someone will be able to install a service to run windows apps inside it as I discovered in Windows 10 ARM, I was surprised that some of x86 apps works very well.
If you faced any problem during the installation or you need any assist let me know.
Hi
WOW excellent response thank you so much for taking the time to reply as you have..
Could you possible explain this a little further
First
Check the latest updates and then you have to unlock the system so you can do some enhancements like:
Increasing Paging files from 256MB to 1GB

Update
If you got a new phone usually many updates need to be installed, this will fix many problems and increase the performance.
Go to "Settings"
Update & Security
Check for update / Windows Update
if there is any update it will appear or you will see a message "Your device is up to date"
If the system need updates this will take some time, and it might be there is many update not only one so keep try until you get "Your device is up to date"
Unlock
Unlocking the system is based on your needs.
If you are using the phone for regular use you may keep it as it is.
What I was meaning with
Increasing Paging: Paging files will help to handle more applications in the background
SFTP: to transfer the data via wireless but it's totally optional you can still use the cable
Uninstall apps
If you tried to install the new version of i.e."Photos" it will not work because it's already installed.
so the solution is to remove the current app, but by default windows will not allow you to do that form the settings because it's built in.
As solution you can use "Interop Tools" by gus33000
Available Here:
Release Interop Tools v1 Version 2.1.7.0 (Legacy) · gus33000/InteropTools
This is the latest release of Interop Tools from its Version 1 source with minor updates.
github.com
More details: Interop Tools v1 Version 2.1.7.0
Install / Sideload it (Check the guide below)
And go to "General"
Then Select "Applications"
Then Navigate to "Package List"
Search for the app you need to remove it.
You will see many packages related to the same app
In the bottom actions bar there is "4 lines" icon click on it to activate it.
Now select the packages you need to remove.
Click on the trash icon and wait until the app removed
Go to main screen to check if the app removed
If it's remove you can now install the new version
Note: I'm not sure if these steps works without unlocking I didn't tried before unlock, just try before to unlock it might work.
Install apps
Now Download the apps form the links and save them in custom folder.
Go to your device Settings
Select "Update & Security"
Select "For Developers"
Select "Developer Mode"
Activate "Turn on remote diagnostics"
Activate "Authentication"
Using your computer: open the browser and enter the link that appeared in the developer page in your phone
if you got security warning message ignore it and continue (it's normal)
On your phone press "Pair" Button you will see pin code
Enter this pin code in your browser page and click "Submit"
Now you can install the app called "AppInstaller" using the web page
Once you able to install "AppInstaller" you can almost install the other apps from you mobile directly.
Note your device and computer need to be on the same network
OSM Mapping
to be honest I never used it before so I will do some search about it.
If I got anything new will let you know.
I wish most of the descriptions is clear, if you need extra details please let me know.

Increase the paging file (required unlocked device):
Open Interop Tools
Go to "Registry"
Select "Registry browser"
Select "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM)"
Select "System"
Select "CurrentControlSet"
Select "Control"
Select "Session Manager"
Select "Memory Management"
Select "Paging File"
Now In "Registry Value Data" Change The numbers from 256 to 1024
The final value will be "u:\pagefiles.sys 1024 1024"
Click on the "right icon at the bottom" to save the result
To check if the result saved just reopen the "Paging File" again, If the result back to the original "256" maybe your device is not unlocked yet.
Reboot the device to apply the changes.
Change Screen timeout:
Open Interop Tools
Go to "Registry"
Select "Registry browser"
Select "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM)"
Select "Software"
Select "Microsoft"
Select "Settings"
Select "Lock"
Select "DisableNever"
Set "Registry Value Data" to 0
Then go to settings and check "Never" will be available now with some extra values.

To be able to edit some of the protected registry values you need to do "Interop Unlock"
"Interop Unlock" will allow you to do almost everything you need.
Don't activate "Full Filesystem Access" In "Unlock" -> "Interop Unlock" it will not work with Lumia 950/XL and it might affect on the usb connection.
If you didn't find a clear guide for "Interop Unlock" let me know I will write a full guide based on my experiment because some of the details online line is very clear.

I have read that the FM radio is not activated on the 950xl, is this correct is so how do I reactivate it?
also is there away to have a bigger tile other than the three choices we have?

The radio is working by default, try this app (almost the best you could find)
Radio FM Phone
Sadly the tiles sizes are fixed as I know, if you want to add some design to the start page you can use this app
Group Tiles
and this app if you want to add custom tiles based on your needs
edgeTile
Check the attached image to see how I did some titles to organize the start page.

Thank you for that... and radio works great... Have to say am loving the 950xl.... only thing I am really missing is a good off route navigation/mapping app if I could find a good one then everything would be nearly perfect.
also is there away to install the original lumia camera app so we can get flash control(number of flashes used ) back?
finally how do I gain full access to the file system on the device???
does any one have the file for this

It should work, ignore the compatible message just check the following:
the apps updated including "Microsoft Store" from "Menu" -> "Donwloads and updates"
there is no remaining system updates "Settings" -> "Windows update"
check if there is a "Get" button sometimes it's appear even of there is a compatibility message, click on the button if you found it.
If nothing above worked do the following:
Go to your PC
Be sure you are using the same email/account in both "Phone/PC"
Open the browser and be sure you are logged to your account/email
Open the link of the app
click on "Get"
a message will appear "you own this app"
once you get this message go back to your phone
Open Microsoft store -> Menu
Select "My Library"
Check if the app is there (you can sort the library by name which is better)
Click "Install" behind the app icon
The problem is some of the apps does not appear in Phone store but it will appear in PC store
so this trick will help you to get many apps in the same way,
but I think it will work only with the browser not the desktop app.

As per my experiments, gain the full access to the file system is not a big deal.
the files are protected anyway and some of the important folders assigned to custom users you can't have access, even if you was able to force replace the ownership of the folder and open it.. it will cause some issues with the system.
if you have something really important in the future it's better to use Mass Storage Mode, but accessing the file system while windows is running almost useless.
just don't use the feature in "Interop Tools" which called "Full Filesystem Access" I tried it before and it caused a problem with the connection with the computer I wasn't able to access the storage

Wanted to see if anyone here had any clue on a fix or have had the dame issues and has a workaround. Thank you in advance.

ATOTO S8 Standard newbie needs help

Hi after some playing around I got android auto working on my head unit with my samsung S8. I saw there was an update to the firmware and downloaded it but for the life of me i can't get it to install. I extracted all the files to the root of a USB stick and the update would start. As soon as the little android guy pops up it says error. After further investigating I found a file inside the other extracted files which was 6315_1.zip and extracted those to the root of my USB stick as well. Now when the android guy pops up the message is No command and the update stalls. Any help would be awesome. I tried searching but haven't found anything yet
Hi, hopefully you have solved this by now but just in case and to help others I had a similar issue.
Tl;dr you need to get into developer options and activate "Allow updates on startup" Car Launcher Pro allows this, maybe others do too.
Longer version:
Support couldn't help me but I accidentally stumbled on a solution myself. The below is a copy and paste reply to atoto support (it's disappointing they have not passed it on to you - assuming you asked them of course)
Start of email:
I have resolved my problem.
I installed Car Launcher Pro to look at the skin/theme options and needed to go back into system settings to change something.
However, when launching system settings from CLP it bypasses the stock ATOTO settings and displays full android settings. I was then able to see Developer Options and noticed one of the options was something like "Allow updates on start up"
I activated this option and I was able to update to the latest version successfully.
End of email
Note I can't remember if developer options itself was already activated or whether I had to tap the build version button in the usual way. Good luck
