I can't say for sure. But no need to feel silly. Android is tough in China and truss phone is expensive. As for getting by, I have everything but a few things, for instance, you might get to use the s assistant with HK firmware, and I'm pretty sure the butler service is useless to me as I couldn't get past the Chinese, and I think it was asking me for my Id card number. Nope- don't have this as I'm a laowai ... but... I'm definitely loving this phone and yes it is still 100 percent mainland, and I have very little Chinese ability.

So that's some answers... I hear it is heaps cheaper in HK though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] shirakani:
I bought a ZTE Axon 7 china version (6gb/128gb) prior to switching to the S8+.

Why did I switch? Because of reasons stated in this thread.... The Axon 7 is a great little phone BUT...

Lack of LTE band support for my region (Aus)

Chinese ROM w/ no Google Play built in means you have to manually put back all the features you take for granted (admit, we all take Google's framework for total granted).

China tier bloatware, my god, the bloatware...

Features all tuned for another region, down to the basic UI. You may not think its a big deal but you will once you actually use the thing.

After the above, there's also the cost... 6gb/128gb is not cheap, period. After doing the math you're far better off investing in a 256gb microSD for more space in general. If you actually seriously use up 128gb+256gb... I have nothing to say. 6gb vs 4gb RAM? The S8/S8+'s stock ROM is extremely good with RAM management, you will never ever notice the difference. Samsung have greatly improved in this area.

My 2c... don't bother, unless your region has the Snapdragon variant and you want to import, then ok yeah sure... import the BEST ver if you're forced to import. But if you don't have to, its not really worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Alcibiade:
I got the HK version (128Gb/6Gb)

Extra cost compared with 64Gb/4Gb is quite small.

I tend to prefer Exynos over Snapdragon (Battery life and raw power) but living in HK makes it easier like this. Also some apps take better advantage of Snapdragon than Exynos which is less documented. And with most of retailers here you get a (close to) free replacement for a broken screen.

My only worry is how long we'll have to wait before seeing TWRP for this model...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Alcibiade:
In the end... we do now have root and TWRP. Plus the snapdragon seems to be for once the better version :) Cool.

[Samsung Gear S3] robikonobi:
Has anyone been able to update their gear s3 to the latest firmware (R760XXU2BQC5) that was supposedly released on 3/28 according to sammobile?

https://www.sammobile.com/2017/03/2...-update-brings-new-features-and-improvements/

I have a Gear s3 frontier connected to an AT&T s6 edge on nougat beta, but when i try to check for a firmware update via the Samsung Gear app, i keep getting an error that says "unable to update the software. Network or server error occurred. Try again later." Has anyone else encountered this situation or have been able to update?
[Samsung Gear S3] moralesd66:
I was able to update it on the 28th. Software version R760XXU1APK7. Can't find the firmware version. I use a VZW Note 4 running NSeven ROM v.4.
[Samsung Gear S3] robikonobi:
Thanks for the reply, but R760XXU1APK7 is the older firmware. The new firmware is supposed to be R760XXU2BQC5.
[Samsung Gear S3] moralesd66:
Where can I check the firmware version?
[Samsung Gear S3] robikonobi:
On the gear s3, goto settings -> gear info -> about device and then scroll down to find the "software version."
[Samsung Gear S3] moralesd66:
Ahhh...I know that piece of it. Didn't think that firmware was the same as software in this instance. Haha..Yeah I did an update a few days ago... But I guess it wasn't the "new" one.
[Samsung Gear S3] Tacodog:
S3 Classic updated this morning to BQC5.
[Samsung Gear S3] moralesd66:
Downloading it now...129mb
[Samsung Gear S3] jestexman:
same here..

---------- Post added at 11:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

ok so where is this new web browser?
[Samsung Gear S3] RaymondPJR:
I don't think it exists! I'm disappointed too say the least since it was mentioned in every story about the update.
[Samsung Gear S3] robikonobi:
Could anyone post the latest version of the samsung gear s plugin and samsung accessory service apk from the play store? I am on a nougat beta that won't allow me to download them from the playstore. I think this is what is preventing me from updating my gear s3 firmware.
[Samsung Gear S3] hayabusa1300cc:
I came here looking for the aforementioned social browsing.
[Samsung Gear S3] Redflea:
Battery seems worse for me after updating my Classic. Doing some more monitoring tomorrow. Underwhelmed so far.
[Samsung Gear S3] moralesd66:
Battery definitely took a dive for me. Was getting a solid 2.5-3 days on a charge.... Now barely 2. Will see if it settles down a bit this week before looking for a rollback option.
[Samsung Gear S3] cmkostas:
I have seen improved sleep tracking since the update without the usual gabs of walking between sleep.. but I have seen much worst floor tracking, I would say it misses almost 1 floor of the 2..

Have your seen the same differences in yours?

Anyone know where the "Samsung Internet for Gear" app is in this new firmware update?
[Samsung Gear S3] abhijitgiri123:
I am also getting very bad battery life. Before update I used to get 2-3 days easily. Now within a day battery gets discharged. Any suggestions on how to improve it?
[Samsung Gear S3] GuestK00377:
nowhere .. i didnt find it either
[Samsung Gear S3] sandrinopi:
The unique hint I find is the Gear Browser coming from the app store for free, or maybe it was already there and I didn't notice since I don't plan to browse the web from the watch.

Regards

S
[Samsung Gear S3] RaymondPJR:
'Samsung for internet' was explicitly mentioned. That app in the store is not by Samsung so that can't be it.
[Samsung Gear S3] :
True
[Samsung Gear S3] Redflea:
Same, very unhappy.

48% at 11 PM, usually closer to 65%-70% at the end of the day when I start at 100%.

Reset the watch yesterday. Didn't help as far as I can tell.

---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 PM ----------

It's called Gear Browser.
[Samsung Gear S3] :
come on mate that browser not offered from samsung. its a third party browser.
[Samsung Gear S3] sandvolk:
wrong csc?

It is no update displayed on my phone. I still have version R760XXU1APK6. What is wrong with my watch? Do i have the wrong csc R760OXA1APK6? Because i bought the watch in China, but i paired it the first time in Switzerland. So i expected to have a European csc, am i wrong with this?
[Samsung Gear S3] Redflea:
Oops. :) My bad, must remember to think, then type.
[Samsung Gear S3] RaymondPJR:
The update is being rolled out by region. Just be patient.
[Samsung Gear S3] sandvolk:
Thanks', can you tell me which region my csc is?
[Samsung Gear S3] Redflea:
Don't be in a hurry, it's a battery killer. Down to 52% 7 AM to 11 PM. Sucks.
[Samsung Gear S3] homesik_alien:
Just got the update to the watch here in Hong Kong. Installation was smooth but just like others, I can't locate the new internet browser. One new and a welcome feature I did notice is now you can preview images in WhatsApp.

Will test to see if I have the dreaded battery drain.
[Samsung Gear S3] Mx_Passi:
Sometimes, but not very often, it shows WhatsApp pictures. But by far not all. Can somebody say more about this preview feature?
[Samsung Gear S3] vikramdhani:
i dont know why but for some reason i can not update my S3 its saying update failed.
[Samsung Gear S3] firehawk:
Me too. Although mine is R765

I think maybe something is broken with the update (no audible text notifications, see other thread), so they pulled it?
[Samsung Gear S3] robikonobi:
I initially had the same problem. Do a factory reset of the watch only and pair it again with your phone. It then prompted for the update and was able to upgrade to the latest firmware. I got mine to work that way.
[Samsung Gear S3] devilpriest:
I would advise to not rush into getting this update, for me (and from what I could find online for a lot of other users also) the battery life has gotten A LOT worse. I am thinking on doing a rollback.
[Samsung Gear S3] craya:
Turning off diagnostic reporting fixed my battery life
[Samsung Gear S3] thestraubulous:
How can we rollback? I want to and can't find info on it yet.
[Samsung Gear S3] adfree:
Gear Sx users have to fight with few problems if it is Firmware related.

1.

Firmware packages are not easy to find in Internet...

They are most leaked to paid site...

2.

Samsung have several little tiny ugly Security protections implemented... like downgrade Bootloader is not allowed...

Okidoki, this is nothing really new... :D

But... new situation is...

WiFi only data transfer...

There is no easy USB cable...

If wifi is diabled for netOdin... you have bigger problems to reanimate your Gear Sx

Summary.

A.

To which Firmware you want rollback?

So few users can confirm this is safe possible... without brick the Watch...

B.

Is this Firmware free available?

You need the files, if you want flash Firmware. :D

Best Regards

Edit 1.

Wow... only 3 public valid updates?

Here little overview... if someone is interested:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72351747&postcount=196

So downgrade from

BQC5

APK6

Is not possible without risk to brick the device.

It is not impossible, but need few things to prepare BEFORE...

Only as info.
[Samsung Gear S3] xirtam92:
Hi, I have bought a S3 Frontier, and i'm curious about the battery issues with the update.

Now i have 40% battery left after a full day + 2hours training and i don't want to lose this performance.

Did you resolve the new update's battery problem?

Thanks

[Samsung Gear S3] ret4425:
+1 on the terrible battery life. Anyone found a fix for that yet? Sheesh, one step forward...

Also, it shows my weather app (which isn't uninstallable) is consuming all my battery. Anyone else have that?

Not to mention I am missing a bunch of widgets, like music. There were at least three blank widgets after this update. What did they do??

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] LazyCorn:
Can you post what geekbench 4 scores are u getting on your Huawei P9?
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] Akinaro:
Seriously who care about some random numbers on some app?

Benchmarks are worst type of showing how device work, because

it calculate specific components in specific time at specific environment

. It have nothing to do with real life performance where you need to deal with lots of random situations in random applications.

Before I bought P9 I had for week Galaxy S7, on paper and on benchmarks in kick P9 in every way... but in everyday usage it had weird hiccups, it often lags on scrolling, read/write time where really slow and camera was slow(open camera->take pic).

Even my previous Xperia Z3 on benchmarks where good, but in real life those numbers where nowhere to see.

I was tired of modifications, and all I wanted is fast and stable device, and P9 was only one that have that, even if on paper it was one of the slowest I had on my list.

Not to mention that everyone use phone differently, everyone have different apps on their devices, they care about in different way. There is no point of compare benchmarks because everyone will get different result, and even if you make average score it will still dont show how phone behave.
[MX Player] pcll99:
I am running MX Player on an Android TV stick (android 4.04). I have USB keyboard/mouse connect to it.

Some the videos I download have audio sync problem, eg, the audio is delayed or premature for a second or two (some for a fraction of a second).

Can I time-shift the audio using USB keyboard or mouse?

thanks...
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
Currently it's not possible with keyboard. but, yes you can with mouse by opening menu > audio > synchronization. It will bring on screen buttons to adjust audio delay

UPDATE #NEW METHOD COMING

AND USING THAT U DONT HAVE TO MAKE ANY CHANGE IN ROM ZIP FILE EVERY TIME

AND A VIDEO ALSO I AM WORKING TO MAKE THE PROCESS MORE easily UNDERSTANDABLE

Pre requisite

1. unlocked bootloader

2. Root

3. Twrp installed

4. Pc

5. Or usb otg

My guide assumes

Primary rom - stock zenui rom or can be any rom u r using

Secondary rom - aoscp extended latest build

Dualboot means- installing roms on yoyr device without wiping your current rom, so rom called secondary rom can be installed on internal storage itself, or sdcard, usb

In this guide i have used sdcard for installing secondary rom

Steps

First we have to partition our sdcard so backup everything to pc as sdcard will be erased

.Install Aparted from playstore or download from attachment

.Open the app A parted. Grant root

.Goto tools tab select partition 1 it should be ur sdcard

Select delete from below and click apply

. now goto create and click add use this as fat32 size as u wish

. again click add now this will be ur system partition so use this as ext4 size min. 3000mb

. again click add ext4 for data partition and size should be something around 5000mb min. Max depends on ur sdcard space

. add cache partition ext4 size min. 100mb

.now apply the changes.

Now u have prepare ur rom zip file .

First unzip the rom

Just replace the attached boot.img with boot.img in ur rom zip file and same do with updater script

Location of updater script is metainf/com/google/android

And then repack the rom file into zip

Now flash the attached twrp recovery

Boot into new twrp goto wipe

Change file system

Select system, format as ext4

Go back select data and format as ext4

And do same with cache

Now what

Just copy ur new rom zip file onto sdacrd after formatting and flash it

Gapps simply flash

For switching roms

Just install flashify from playstore and flash the boot.img of the rom u want to use

I know above guide is not full fledged but if u get stuck anywhere just comment i am here to help

But if u are a developer u may have know the proces by ur own

Sorry for my bad english

Press thanks if i helped you. :good::p:laugh:

Thanks to rom developers coz without them there was no need of dualboot

And if u want to use another rom as dualboot just telegram me its boot.img and updater script

I will provide u the modified one

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marklyn:
My S6 (SM-G920V) phone was rooted until July of 2016. I had to send the phone into a Samsung repair center because the battery was swelling and they would replace it. When I got the phone back they had upgraded the firmware to the current version at that time, thus decimating my root. Oh well.

Since then my phone never updates with a newer version firmware. I suspect it is because when I was rooted I renamed the files that are responsible for checking for an update and performing the update.

In fact if I try to manually update the phone, I get a 'settings has stopped' type message.

My thinking (correct me if I'm wrong) is that when Samsung updated my phone those parts of the system I changed are still changed, like auto updates that I essentially killed.

I went into a Best Buy yesterday and the Samsung person there manually updated my phone to the now current firmware.

If this is true and since I can no longer go back to root, is there a way I can really wipe the phone, I mean totally wipe it and re-load the current firmware? I don't think the factory reset actually does that and I've seen varying opinions on this. Does anyone have any direct knowledge of this ?
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] Jxcorex29:
I kayak a lot and I'm looking for a waterproof, rugged case that also protects my phone. Does anyone have any ideas?
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] Anova's Origin:
I'm not aware of any case for the 3/T that is designed to be waterproof, though some of the bulkier cases seem to offer at least some degree of water resistance. If you're on rapid waters though, I would advise you to use one of those waterproof containers/cylinders instead.

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

At the very least, the TUDIA Ultra Tough and the POETIC cases have plugs built in that blocks water from getting into the ports.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] Jxcorex29:
I'm really looking for ultimate protection without it being too bulky.
[OnePlus 3T Accessories] Anova's Origin:
What you're looking for doesn't exist... There's always a trade-off between protection and form factor. My suggestion is just to get a normal case that suits you and keep the phone in a waterproof container when you go kayaking...

Quote from OnePlus forum

Hello everyone,

It’s time to release the next OxygenOS Open Beta for both the OnePlus 3.

First off, like Tony always says, thank you for your feedback and bug reports. If it wasn’t for all of your help, we would never have managed to grow and improve as fast as we have.

Release notes and feature changes in this Open Beta build:

All new launcher, added support for shortcuts on 7.1.1

Redesigned app drawer

Redesigned UI for launcher settings

Added status bar icon option to display real time network speed

Added Notification Denoising

Added Gaming Do Not Disturb mode

Added automatic Night Mode

Added Secure Box for file encryption

Optimized touch latency

Optimized camera EIS for videos

Improved contacts management with linking and merge functions

Added quick pay option for India

Bug fixes and general improvements

I’d also like to add some basic info for a few of the features that are not self-explanatory.

Spoiler: Basic info

Please make sure you take a bit of time to fill out our survey on UX & UI here: https://goo.gl/forms/4QApN5zxV3IJ8Frd2.

The names of some of the new features may change based on your feedback!

Also, remember to tell us about any bugs you may find using the bug report forums, found here.

Please note:

If you have already flashed an Open Beta (you are currently running the latest Open Beta) you will receive this new build as an OTA.

If you ARE NOT running open beta software and would like to, please refer to the flashing instructions found here:

Once you migrate to the Beta path, you will continue to receive Open Beta OTAs. You will NO LONGER receive the regular Official Stable OTAs.

Moving back to the Official OTA path from the Beta path will require a clean flash (FULL WIPE of all data and cache)

If you want to clean flash this build and start beta testing please go here and follow the instructions: http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3/oneplus_3_oxygenos_openbeta_13/

PS: I’m sure you’ve noticed that [MENTION=5922733]Tony L[/MENTION]. did not post this. For all future beta build posts, Adam Krisko will be the main point of contact. He's currently in the process of taking over the Beta Program from him, so he can focus on the MP Early Access Program and future OTA versions of our software
