[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Lily Lau:
Hey guys, I had the same issues too, so I had to take off the case every time I wanted to get my phone wireless-charged until I happened to see a blog: No One Will Tell You These Tips on Selecting Magnetic Phone Mount (But You Can Learn Here), where shows how someone solved the metal plate problems by embedding it in a case, so the metal plate won't interfere with wireless charging anymore whilst you keep the metal plate working as always. which truly impressed me a lot, to be honest, this is the solution what I've been looking for. Hope this blog is useful for you too.

MagCase

Few months I got a Magcase from my brother for my birthday, which works well on my phone to date. as my brother told me that this case has the metallic plates embedded in so that the case can work both with the magnetic car mount and with a wireless charger without affecting the ability to charge.(not sure about it but at least this case saved me up from looking for a stuff combining wireless charging and magnetic car mount), loviiiing it
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] RossTeagan:
Went through this myself with a Galaxy S8 I had just for one month. Personally, I decided to opt for another mount, since I use wireless charging a lot, if the phone I have supports this. My solution was to pick a regular air vent mount and kept the phone with a Spigen case on it. No scratches at all and it keeps the phone very steady, while I can still enjoy wireless charging.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Mtrinath:
Metal heats up the phone during wireless charging...so I take the case off while wireless charging...however my s8+ motherboard conned off not sure because of magnetic car holder...any inputs if magnetic car holder can damage s8+ which also has wireless charging ability...

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericcl:
I'm looking for advice/pointers on a project.

I have 150 XOOM tablets (wingray) that our school received in 2011 as part of a technology grant. They are on 4.1.2 and the staff have stopped using them because they lag and don't support a lot of current web-based content. My role is that I'm a former board of education member and I have experience flashing. The superintendent and I are talking about trying to upgrade the tablets with a CM or Lineage-based ROM and replace batteries where needed.

I have been looking at Lineage 13.0 as it appears someone started the process there but I don't seem to see any discussion or progress. I saw there was a MM ROM that [MENTION=2371134]Schischu[/MENTION] was working on, but all the binaries were on a server that is no longer operating (duckbox). I see a thread started this week with a 4.4.4 build by [MENTION=6272221]Manuellama[/MENTION] but that's not exactly recent. But, it's better than 4.1.2.

I don't mind going through the bigPart process. I did this several years ago on my personal wingray and CM 11.0 runs fine on it. I'm not sure about doing this on 150 devices though. I'm sure I'll lose a few of them to failures in partitioning, but it's probably worth the risk.

I would like a ROM that I can build. I have some experience with this, but I'm not a pro at customizing the experience. I would like a couple apps used by the district to get into the ROM as well as a custom gApps package. I'd like to replace the boot animation to use our school imagery. I know space on /system is tight. Some gApps aren't necessary (Play games, Play music, Hangouts) while others are (Docs, Sheets, Drive). Also, the standard ROM builds I've seen tend to include apps like Apollo, QuickOffice and Movie Studio, which aren't necessary for our use case.

I'm looking for ideas on how to keep this project from going completely overboard. It's one thing to have one or two devices, but it's another when there are 150 devices.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Manuellama:
Hello. I can help you with the build process. You can try the rom first in my dropbox folder for wingray.

If you like it, I will build it again with the steps needed to make it work, since some patches have to be done first, and I will describe the process to make the build in a pdf.

As I tell you, I can help you making the necessary modifications after you test the rom and see if it is good for you.

I think everything works well. Camera etc. Schischu did a great job in the past.

I could build lollipop omni but camera and hw videodecoding do not work yet.

My skype is manuel.lama.paniagua in case you need to discuss it further.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericcl:
Awesome. Thanks! I'll skype you shortly. I have to recover my account (starts with 'ehc').
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericcl:
I managed to get a stock wingray through the process

* OEM unlock

* Flash TWRP 2.6.3

* Flash TWRP 2.6.3 bigpart

* Wipe /system, /data, /cache

* Reboot

* Flash CM11 and gApps images from Manuellama

* Reboot to new /system

* Success!

* Reboot to fastboot

* Flash TWRP 3.0.2 img

* Reboot

* Confirm boot into /recovery and /system

It took about an hour going through the steps, but I think I can get several going at a time. When I mount /system I show I have 41% used (420572 of 1032088 blocks). I need some other gApps in there so when the devices are reset the students and staff don't have to reinstall Drive, Docs, Sheets, etc. from the Play Store.

Appreciate the help.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Manuellama:
Sorry for the delay in answering.

I thought I had subscribed to the forum thread.

Can you send me a text file with the specific things you need via private message?

I can try to compile the rom again with your requirements.

Ask everything you need, do not get short on requirements. This way, I can check it better and tell you.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getyroks:
would you be able to upload those files you used to a drive so i could download them? Im am having a hard time finding all the required files for BigPart.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericcl:
The files are here. You have to flash the 2.6.3 TWRP first, then the bigpart. After that, you can flash TWRP 3.x. The directions on the bigPart thread worked more or less correctly for me. The one thing I didn't catch the first time was wiping /system, /data and /cache after the bigpart. But I was able to recover easily enough.

Be sure to check the MD5's against the original post.

Any software out there that can auto record on movement from the kaiser?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ekw:
your gunna need more than software :P.

You probably need to get a motion detector so that when tripped, it will send info via bluetooth/hardwire to the kaiser! Then it will autorun the camera, and send you a txt message! id want one too...

great idea for my senior project :P
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] redsrule2500:
you could potentially use the GPS to active the camera, but you would have to have the GPS running constantly in the background.

Or at least doing a 5 minute update, something like that.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Cautions:
Bought s8+ on the 6th, no problems till I played music while playing a game. No game in particular, they all do it. I'm a spotify user, enter an app and my volume decreases not by volume by button but physically, I have to maximize my volume to get back the sound I had before entering the application. Otherwise it's far too quiet. Not sure if a bug but there's no option to turn this off. Irritating. Anyone else know how to turn off? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] rowbaggie22:
I use spotify and other music apps but my sound it low with any headphones have volume full to max aswell
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ynrozturk:
I have the same problem. Don't think there's anything to be done about it, the DAC inside the phone is just not that good. Pretty disappointing to be honest.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Sound stage is highly subjective. No two individuals will enjoy the same music genre nor the way its reproduced. Some listeners prefer heavy 'boom boom' base while others enjoy a 'bright higher pitched' overall tone, then there's the billions in between those extremes. :)

One has to be realistic with a mobile phone that performs so many tasks. We read an awful lot about the camera, got to the point where many look at the camera before they even consider signal strength etc? No mobile can, nor should, match a DSLR. Same with the sound reproduction. One cannot compare the quality of sound against a dedicated high res player like the Astel&Kern costing 3k or similar stand alone mobile players. It has to be a question of compromise.

I never use the camera. I do listen to music an awful lot that is why I have spent many thousands of € buying various dedicated high res players. Problem is obvious. Summer day in shorts who wants to carry an DSLR, Dedicated Digital audio player and a mobile phone?

The S8+ sounds fine when paired with decent head phones either on ear or over ear plus ear buds. Many are enjoying the AKG developed ear buds that came with the mobile. I DON'T like the AKG ear buds, that is personal taste though.

Non the less considering the S8+ does so many things so well I cannot fault its sound reproduction considering its a mobile phone

If you desire a true hifidelity portable sound then you are going to have to dig very deep into your pockets. Putting that proposition to one side the S8+ can produce a very acceptable sound for the masses including myself who is a hifi junkie.

Suggestion. Try a number of different head gear ranging from ear buds to on ear head phones. OBVIOUSLY when using the on ear or around ear head phones volume will be affected as the S8+ is not designed to power such head sets even though it does a bloomin good job! When using ear buds you can achieve a high volume. Bluetooth are another option though sound quality does degrade accordingly. :p

So, all in all its compromise but Samsung has balanced the equation rather well. Again personal taste will always be a major factor eg, I don't enjoy the sound stage LG mobiles produce even though many people do. If you are looking for an exceptional sound stage from a mobile phone try out the Sony range, they should be good being the masters of portable hifi from the off. I enjoy both the Sony and Samsung sound reproduction but give the edge to Sony on most occasions.

Are you on the Exynos version as well? Maybe it's an Exynos problem, my Snapdragon S8+ has no problem running my Sennheiser HD700's, plenty loud at half volume. (Sounds pretty good too I might add)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] gigaboss:
I had the same problem on my Oneplus 3T so I do not think it is hardware related. (I was playing pokemon GO while listening to music)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ynrozturk:
Yep, Exynos version.

---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

Thanks for your input. I know where you're coming from because I think the same. I'm a musician so audio is kind of a big part of my life. I don't buy a phone expecting it to have the power of my DAC's or amps at home - but I want it to be decent at least. The S8's isn't decent - far from it. I've thrown a number of headphones and IEM's at it and it still performs poorly - because the DAC inside is poor. It really is that quite simple. I don't expect it to run my Beyerdynamic T1's or anything, lol. But I do expect it to run my IEM Shure or Sennheisers at least decently, which it doesn't.

I also agree about the camera part. While I do appreciate a good camera in my phone, when I go out to take pictures I would much rather have my Sony A7RII with me, along with some Zeiss glass.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] craigdamey:
Ironic that once it was the Exynos versions (Note 3) that had premium audio (Wolfson DAC) while the Snapdragon phones languished. Now it seems it's the exact opposite, lots of complaints from the Exynos crowd and nothing but praise from the Snapdragon set. I personally have the US ATT version (SD835 + Aqstic DAC) and the sound quality is superb, both with full custom Shure SE-535Vs and Sennheiser HD-700s (directly driven from the phone). Definitely a step up from my S7E.

For reference I'm also a musician with a pretty good idea of what real instruments sound like (9ft Concert Grand in my living room).

I had same problem. I solved the problem by downloading latest android 6 and emui 4 firmware from huawei support. Use sd card. Create a new folder and rename it to " dload ". Simply copy only the UPDATE.APP into that dload folder. Insert sd card and boot your tab pressing vol up/ vol down / power at the same time. Keep all pressed, till you see the update screen.

Takes about 5-10 min.

My m3 works now just fine, even though my update failed when 99% were done. But when tab was booting after that, everything was correct. :good:

In any watch face that shows the phone battery level, it always shows 0%. Watch battery levels are always shown correctly.

And yet, there's no other communication issue between the watch and phone (Samsung GS7) - notifications work beautifully, apps install and refresh, etc. I'm assuming it's some lingering Android permissions issue, but I've been unable to find anything. Given that everything else is working fine, I can live with it... but was wondering if anyone else had seen it?

Is it possible to put manually a su binary without reinstalling the whole system?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] SXUsr:
Use Rootkernel to add root to your own stock kernel. The FAQs on that page answers your first question.

[Sony Xperia X Compact Questions & Answers] Coirpre:
Your kernel needs to be able to work with the su.zip. That is the reason why rootkernel is necessary, the stock kernel has measures built in to not allow root. IIRC.

"your device was restarted and needs to be unlocked using your PIN" but not really..

AT&T S7 Edge on Nougat

So this just started happening... 10+ times a day at completely random times I see this message on my lock screen

"your device was restarted and needs to be unlocked using your PIN" I realize this is a security setting to require the PIN on a restart but I'm not restarting the phone (It's completely random) and when I look at the uptime counter it's not consistent with a recent reboot.

I've run the gamut with AT&T & Samsung which was a waste of time. I've cleared the system cache, run in safe mode, did a hard reset and ran for a few days and still got this message.

AT&T finally replaced the phone and now this one is doing the same thing.

Any one else having this issue or have thoughts on where I can look for logs etc...?

That's probably the cause, you must've disabled something you shouldn't have. Mine doesn't ask for a pin unless I restart it or it hasn't been used in 24 hours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Rogue9:
I have it configured to require a PIN after reboot, so that's not the strange part.

My issues are as follows:

1. why was it rebooting in the first place? -----> I'll concede that I may have disabled something that would inadvertently force the reboot, I'm in the process of sorting through that list now.

2. why was the uptime clock not reset to zero after the reboot occurred? ----> This is the really odd part... Did it really reboot or not?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] rbedell:
Maybe it soft rebooted and never reset the counter versus a hard reboot which is like losing all power to the device.
