Is anyone using their Gear S3 with a phone running the Android P dev preview? Been trying to connect mine and it constantly force closes. Just want to see if it's just me or if it is a problem with the app not working with P.
You're not alone, I've contacted Samsung support several times about the incompatibility issue in their app, but it seems like nobody in Samsung cares, I either don't get responses at all, or they just tell me to wait for updates (which would probably take years considering how Samsung handles this kind of stuff.
BTW, in case you're wondering what went wrong, here's the error log I retrieved from Logcat:

*** --------- beginning of system (end of crash)
Seems like a stupid coding problem to me, and a fix would be pretty easy by just changing several lines, but unfortunately they don't seem to worry about problems in their apps, so... The choices are to wait, switch to Android Wear, or roll back to Android O.
I kept having this issue and finally realized the issue. Android deprecated the hidden API Samsung references (IPackageObserver). This hidden API only works if the app is a system app, so it is weird that Samsung has this. Maybe it makes the experience a little nicer on Samsung devices since everything can be done in the background, but when it causes crashes it is not ideal. All you need to do to resolve this issue is edit the smali file for com.samsung.android.app.twatchmanager.packagecontroller.PackageControllerFactory.
The method makeInstance() needs changed to false (So it doesn't try hidden API). After that you will have to re-sign Samsung Gear, Accessory, and Plugin APK's because they use a shared user ID. One issue I noticed is due to having to re-sign the APK Samsung Pay was giving me issues. Hopefully Samsung resolves this issue soon.

There is a way to get it working I did it with my pixel 2 xl on DP1 when it was released I flashed the factory image while removing the -w command from the script, this preserved my data and I was able to continue using my watch.
Just grab the Oreo image from Google and use fastboot to flash it. You might can even get by without having to factory reset the phone doing it that way if you just remove the "-w" from the fastboot command.

Don't think I can do that on a locked bootloader. Got a Verizon phone.
Yea your right. Forgot Verizon have there bootloaders locked down. My girlfriend had the original Pixel that ended up being the Verizon model. I ran into the exact same problem on her phone with the Oreo beta. The roll back kept failing to download. I think I ended up joining the beta and exiting it about 10 to 15 times before it successfully downloaded.
i came here for that
tried to pair my watch but no P support yet

Why would Samsung support software that is not meant for general use and aimed at developers? Google even warns you it is not to be used as a daily driver and all your software may not work. Stop being so entitled. Support for P will come in due time, probably during one of the later builds that finalize the APIs if the O preview was anything to go by.

Mine worked too (including Samsung Pay), until i lost bluetooth connection, and to "re-pair". Couldn't reconnect without going back to Android O. Gear App kept crashing.
My Gear S3 is working fine with my Pixel XL with Android P DP2. All notifications and fitness related features are working. Also, Samsung Pay is working on the watch. The only problem is you cannot open Samsung Pay anymore in Gear app. It will only show "Installing Samsung Pay (Gear Plug-in)". Samsung store and Samsung health are both okay.
I came from Oreo 8.1 with Gear paired completely with my phone. I just opt in Android P DP2 and update it.
So is it if you already had everything set up it works fine on the beta?

This is the hancom suite of applications included with the new Samsung galaxy tabs. The package includes the following
Hword
Hshow
Hcell
The package should work on any android device running android 4.1.2 and above(including kitkat). Personally i find this the best mobile office application suite for android and works extremely well if your device is a tablet with a keyboard/dock.
Instructions
1. Download the zip file below and extract it (DO NOT FLASH!!!)
2. install all apk files inside as usual
3. Profit, enjoy the apps
F.A.Q
1. Does it work with ART?
Yes
2. Will it work with my particular device?
IDK try it and see for yourself
3. It doesnt fit the display correctly?
thats because it was made with tablets in mind

Hi, i can at Nexus 5, disable system updates on a lollipop? I want to have a KitKat, but in settings-phone- details download system updates is not an option to cancel the notice of the availability of OTA.
Other phones here have the option not to notice, nexus 5 no
Huh?
He wants to know how to stop the Lollipop OTA from coming through to his KitKat device. More precisely, he is concerned about the persistent notification.

And here we are getting impatient coz Google haven't given us the OTA update. Google really need to sort their issues out. People who want the OTA update should be able to get it and people who don't should be able to refuse it.

1. I dont anderstandt you.
2. My sister wants to update her favorite game supports only Dalvik. And she got used to the KitKat and wants a new environment, my sister does not like the lollipop system. The materials nor design is not like her to.

When you long press the notification, and it takes you to the Apps section, do you have the option to ignore notifications from it?
Are you rooted? Are you on Dalvik? If you are on Dalvik, get Xposed and GravityBox.

I believe what he is asking is:
1 - is there a way to stop kitkat from displaying that there is an update available.
2 - Why does Google make older versions available if, when you flash them, you still get a persistent notification to update.
His sister wants to stay on kitkat because her favorite game needs Dalvik and won't run on lollipop.

Ohhh, finally I get it. Well,
1. No, there isn't. Not without root.
2. Same reason why they send update notifications to 1% of the Nexus device user base, while the rest of us wait in agony. Look at your example for instance... you're being pestered about the 5.0 update even when you don't want it. A friend of mine, he's studying overseas and left his Nexus 7 with his 56 year old mother, when leaving his home country, for Skyping n stuff. His mom now keeps asking him what an "Android 5.0 System Update" is and how to get rid of the notification, while he bangs his head against the wall with his KitKat Nexus 5 and his d*ck in his hand.
lol sorry this icon -question mark , i make testing functions
Before the KitKat without errors, it took a month or two months? (4.4.3 Nexus5)
After this experience with Android, a sister like to wait for a stable release, or lollipop never want.
I am changing in my Motorola moto g settings for morelocale2, wets pm adb commands (non-root) settings. To cancel the update notification system on a lollipop pm command does not exist?
So I got it, just disable the app OTA. Happy, i go back KitKat
edit: my motorola has the option to disable OTA (in Settings -> Applications) but nexus 7 2012 my father anymore.
I think that the Nexus 5 will be the same problem
I found that when kit kat ignore the call for availability OTA, so after 14 days to report ...... and will KitKat is 4rever

Use the stock charger and cable. It's not "fast charging" like Qualcomm quick charge. It's just Android's way of saying that you're charging above 1A.

Hey Guys,
Want to discuss about the latest android developer preview
Will share the findings here.
All are welcome to do it here.
Hope we can create a stable preview soon.
First of all, apps which need to pass a security check don't work in the current build:
- Netflix
- Pokemon Go
- Others?
* The new gesture navigations options can't be found yet under Settings > System > Gestures. Although you can find the 3 options if you search in the settings, you can't change it.
* Some settings can only be changed via the developer options (accent colors, icon shape).
* Signal bar is not visible in the notification bar
Yup.
And fortunately, i am not facing some problems which are mentioned on the Nokia's community page.
Some missing features which i noticed are -
1. Gestures
2.Buggy Download manager
3.VoLTE seems to be working but not completely. I can receive calls but not make calls and send/receive sms.
4.Camera works fine. However, its the vanilla version of Camera app provided by Qualcomm so nothing special expected from it. Nokia will replace that app with it's own in upcoming builds.
5.External storage like SD card is not accessible by third-party apps but only system apps compatible with Android Q . I guess there are some changes with Storage framework because of which apps are not able to access SD card. Checked this with Whatsapp, instagram.
6.Apps requiring Google certifications/safety net or something similar would not work because the OS is still in Development phase.
7.Fingerprint is working fine, but is slow.
8.Dark theme is not properly applied over settings app.
9.Files app crashes when refreshing.
If you are reading this and thinking to update to Android Q Dev Preview. I would like to clarify that the OS is still in development and may get even worse with every update.
So, if you are not ready to use other phone as a backup do not update to Q.
Definitely facing all the above mentioned issues, in addition to Whatsapp being unable to restore backups from Google drive.
Anyways i made the mistake as installing this as my daily driver... Do you guys have any idea if it's possible to rollback even if there's no official support for that?

just saw it... "We are currently unable to support rollback to Android 9 Pie. We hope to have manual rollback support available by 16 May 2019. The website will be updated as soon as manual rollback is available." https://www.nokia.com/phones/en_int/developer/

Hey guys just wanted to let you know that Nokia update their dev website with a manual Rollback method

There is any changes in Beta 5 OTA build? Because when I flashed developer preview manually, there was a serious bug, if I touch fingerprint sensor device was stopped working only reboot is option, even if device is just locked and if I touch on fingerprint device stopped working, so I simply rolled back to pie
Recently installed Android 10 OTA build version 00WW_4_070 (directly from pie). I see a working option to unlock the bootloader under the developer options page. Any devs working on rooting and/or a custom rom?

I installed the ota update (v5) last night. I had faced the same issue regarding the fingerprint sensor after manual install. For the time being, I see that the phone is working well. But when I m receiving calls, I am not able to answer right away. The phone app is freezing or disappearing in the background.
I'm not responsible for any damage to your device of any sort.
By flashing this you take responsibility of anything that happens.
Process at your own risk!
If you want to check firmware - please make backup. Better to store all partitions, at least efs and may be modem.
I'm using nano/pico gapps.
Instructions
1. Install custom recovery
2. Download the zip(s) - firmware and Google Apps additional package (optional)
3. Backup all partitions (it least efs) and store somewhere - it need to do - because you can loose imei
4. Full wipe all
5. Flash firmware and gapps
Work

Hello. 2 weeks ago with a big discount, I bought used a tab pro 8.4 wifi tablet.
I develop firmware for several tablets - note 12.2 on the same qcom 800, tab a 2016 on exynos 7870 (wifi<e) and a tab s3 on qcom 820 (wifi<e).
Initially, I thought, since the note pro is almost then same, as the tab pro series (actually, the note pro was develop based on the tab pro series), it turned out that these are huge differences, and I spent a huge amount of time to launch the tablet.
There were literally problems with everything - I spent almost a week launching just a panel and correctly turning it on/off. Then a huge amount of time to launch wifi and bt. Well, at the end, the sensors and cleanup the sources.
A bit later I'll build sm-t325 version and may be 10.1 sm-t525 (but I don't have this tablets, please send me to pm if you ready to help with test)
All my tablets already has android q. Of course after cleanups sm-t320 will get android q too.
Working for me only with pico gapps

Current security update is october 2019.
You can monitor new update in: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_build/blob/lineage-16.0/core/version_defaults.mk , PLATFORM_SECURITY_PATCH define
Usually a new update appears on the 5-10th of the month (in lineage code) and after it I'm building new version.
Thank you for your working. I really expect the version of SM-T325
And what about SM-T520?

sm-t520 has differ platform. this is exynos5420 like t900\p900\901.
Thanks much! You brought a new life into my favorite tablet! It's hard to find a premium 8.4 tablet these days and hardware in this 5 year old one is running strong with your ROM.
Спасибо Валера!
Incredible to find developers still going strong in creating latest android version builds for this tablet after 5 years. Kudos to OP!
Works flawless and surely has added couple of more years life to the tablet now.
new versions.
Added version for sm-t325.
Unfortunately I do not have a t325 and I need somebody to test firmware. Please make backup efs/modem/may be all before test just in case.

I've tried test version on my SM-T325. There was repetitive rebooting problem initially and I cannot set anymore
However, thank you for your effort and I believe you can fix this problem.
How do i install this?
sorry to be a noob but this is my first time rooting an android device in about 8 years.
I have rooted by T320 and have super user.
I have installed the TWRP app.
I have odin.
I have all the downloads suggested on both my PC and my Samsung SD card.
WTF am i supposed to do from there? Do i install the mondrianwifi i find in the TWRP app if, so to boot or recovery? Or am i supposed to install the version the author linked. I hav read multiple articles but they don't explain what i am doing, why, how i should choose my options and they are all seriously out of date (given the age of the tablet)
Help!? Can someone give me a breadcrumb trail?

Ok i figured it out by a lot of poke and hope and got lucky.
I have the new firmware on with micro apps.
Was non intuitive how long the tablet takes after first reboot to get everything ready and WTF is that slider / circle animation - i thought it was telling me to slide my finger from right to left (that was up for like 2.5 mins the first time) luckily i just waited.
On first use lots of apps reported crashing most stopped but BT app was in infinite reboot.
Did hard reboot and the BT app is still infinitely rebooting along with android.process.media
Trying a factory reset, use TWRP to wipe device (all but SD card) and reinstall to fix....

now its hung at the strange animation for more than 10 mins and power button does nothing? What next?
Another wipe and re-install not connected to USB seemed to fix it.

WOW just WOW
@Valera1978 Thank you for all your efforts and bringing this device back to life! I'm happily looking forward to test builds for the SM-T325 and provide logs if needed.
Valera, What is new in release from 11/02 (lineage-16.0-20191102-UNOFFICIAL-mondrianwifi)? Or it is targeted to owners of SM-T325 and you just misplaced it in SM-T320 section?
