They did a similar thing with the Pie beta last year. You could flash the stock image on a Mi Mix 2S and Vivo X21 (e.g.).
The final release was never made available to those devices. It was just for beta testing purposes.

please let this work well so it can kill that one last complaint a few whiny ruddocks cry over.
so is group messaging just useless on Android if the people you are texting are on iPhone?
Honestly I kind of DON'T CARE because group texting is annoying, but I just compared a group text with my wife and our two friends and like half the convo was never sent to my phone. All three of them have iPhones and I have a Pixel XL 2. I use the Google Messages app.
is it possible Apple does something with iMessage where it is causing this? Like on purpose to encourage people to switch?

They need to enable "Send as SMS" in the Messages settings.
Just go to Settings -> Messages.
And yes, it is intended that group messages on iPhones are iMessage only, until that setting is manually turned on.

That's not what that setting does. The "Send as SMS" toggle on iOS enables sending what would be iMessage messages as SMS when there's no data connection (or the iMessage servers are down). Messages sent to non-iOS/iMessage devices are always sent as SMS/MMS messages, regardless of the toggle.
I believe you. But that's what fixes it. Already had to do it twice.
And no, Androids get fucked by iMessage unless that thing is enabled because it does not send it as SMS. It happens.
/shrug
they hijack messages that you should receive by the SMS protocol. it is known.
I think I'm going to throw my phone away. I can't seem to access Google Drive anymore, the phone doesn't sync. All others Google products are fine, just not Drive, which means I can't upload files, and it works just fine on a computer. I tried everything from account removing to cache wiping in recovery... Fuck it is annoying when it doesn't work.
EDIT : finally flashed another rom. Works. Joys of Android !

My wife had her phone destroyed, but the USB/charging port still works. The screen is totally shattered, and does not work. We have lots of baby photos on it.
Can we access the internal memory anyway?

Can you connect it to a computer and move the photos or does that not function?
It connects to my win 10, but shows as cd/DVD. A few solutions were to enable transfers, but that required the screen.
Sorry, it would be a lot easier to help if you posted more details, like what kind of phone your wife has and what kind of steps you have tried.
Anyone having issues with the Prime Video app? I keep getting connection issues with the latest versions, but if I roll back to an older version (Shield TV) things work fine.
Oneplus 5t. Port is good, screen and power button don't work. We have windows based computers and an iPad.
Currently charging it under observation so it doesn't die. After an hour or so it can standby for a day.

Samsung totally ruined their browser, the latest version of it is total shit. The video assistant was the best feature of any mobile browser and they got rid of it 😡
Honestly, the simplest solution might be to replace the screen. It's not trivial to retrieve data that hasn't been backed up(even if your wife had USB debugging enabled).
Good reason to start using Google Photos from now on(which will automatically backup your pics and videos to the cloud).

The body is crushed, so that's probably not going to happen. It would be nice if could cloud sync through website.
Android Q Beta 2, anyone else having problems with photos not showing up on Google Photos? I take them with the default camera app, I can preview them normally from there (and share etc), if I go in the Files app I can also see the photos in the folder, but they just dont appear on the Google Photos app (they just dont show there). I tried taking photos with another app and the problem still persist. I also cleared cache/cookies of Google Photos and Camera.
On top of that: after Google killed Inbox I am now forced to use Gmail but Inbox used to silence the Gmail app so I wouldn't get double notifications. For some reason I cant see Gmail notifications yet (they are enabled inside the app and in the settings)... I already uninstalled Inbox but I still cant get any notifications :(

Anyone elses S8 running like crap after the most recent firmware update?, It feels like the memory management has been buggered up - even switching between just 2 apps has a reload now on mine (plus the Samsung browser feels horrible and sluggish now).
After the main Pie update it seemed fine, but the most recent one made my phone so much worse to use - but I feel it could be the recent browser update causing it and it mainly happens when switching with that.

If you're just looking to retrieve photos, they should back up to Google Photos by default. Have you checked her Google account?
Have you tried clearing the cache in recovery after the update?
Wish I received an update to know if there were any issues. Still stuck on December security patch and build. I thought buying an unlocked phone would mean better software support. Always got quick updates on my xperias. Selling my S8 but maybe try a factory reset or clearing your system cache.
make sure you have the permissions enabled for photos and camera app
I've found app sounds are usually handled in the app settings
If you want to find global app notification settings it's in Settings > Apps & notifications > [app] > Notifications
if you then click "Advanced" it should say "Additional settings in the app" and take you to what you're looking for most of the time
for Gmail if you go to Menu > Settings > [your email account] > Manage notifications > Advanced
You'll see some options for sounds there
What the hell are they doing??? This is so much worse than a notch.
Is there any recommendations for some good games? I haven't played many phone games in a while.
Everything is negotiable with carriers. Samsung just chooses to bend over for big red.
Seriously it takes people's worry about a slider breaking and amps it up a notch.
Having said that, I happily rocked this back in the day:
I'd wager it's probably a bit more solid than the a80 could possibly be, though.
Would be fine for me who take like maybe one selfie every few months lol
You're gonna take one every hour with that phone just for the novelty of the cam turning around lol

The SoC midrange is a fucking mess for some reason in 2019. 665 theoretically its got better battery efficiency but is worse in overall performance than its predecessor while being offered in phones higher priced. Meanwhile the 670/675 is for some reason a split between general performance and gaming performance. The only thing that makes sense is the 730 which acts a s the sucessor for the 710, but there are like onoy 5 710 phones out there and it hasn't had time to mature for OEMs like the 660.
Thank you for this. Forced to switch back to GMail app after Inbox app was discontinued and took me a while to notice that I wasn't getting notifications on new emails.

This is what happens when qualcomm has a monopoly
Like to know where the Exynos used in the S10 series fits on that scale. Perhaps it's written in the article.
