Hi there,

I've Samsung Note 3 N9005 version which came with Retail version mode.. I've tried to install to install RR OS in it.. I completed wiping the data and all the present data include Operating System has been wiped off.. Now, I'm unable to install any OS on it as it is displaying error "Write Protection Enabled".. As there is no OS in it at present, is there any alternative to write an OS into it? :(

So I messed up and forgot that you can't run TWRP on OF1 bootloader. I flashed with the app and it messed up my recovery and I can't boot into recovery. The phone boots into download mode but if I try to turn on my phone, it'll try to boot recovery. Easy way to get around it and start the phone is to open download mode and cancel (restart) and it'll boot up like it is supposed to. Help on getting back on the original and rooting again or flashing stock OF1. I rooted with king root and replaced it with SuperSU using a script and emulator. Thank you for replies and help in advance.

Wondering if there is a way to get the hotspot feature working on the old version of unlimited data for verizon? I kept this plan specifically to avoid throttling because I do use much more than 21GB a month (around 35-50 on average) and I occasionally use hotspot in congested areas.

Tried foxfi, no dice. Any other suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] synplex:
I was just about to ask the same thing.

I just came from a pixel and I know if you popped out the SIM card and then quickly turn on the hotspot while putting the sim card back and it would work. Doesn't​ seem to work with the S8 ?

Ok, so until this post I had no idea about the Sim Card Technique. It took like 5 tries to get it to work, but once you initate the SIM card you have about 2 seconds for tethering to work.

You need the PUK code for the new sim card - most print this on the card that you popped the sim out of. If you don't have the original outer card, then call the carrier for the NEW sim card you are trying to use and they should be able to help you.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Polarthief:
Hey everyone, I came from a Galaxy S4 (using I believe Android 4.X for the longest time), to finally upgrading to an S8 (on Android 7.X now), and I'm getting really fed up with the keyboard, so I'm hoping someone more experienced in the matter can help me with. Dunno if these are an issue on the S8, on Android 7.0, both, or whatever, but it's driving me insane.

But first: Using Samsung's keyboard (English US), predictive text is on, auto spell check is on, and I typically use "swipe to type" rather than pressing individual keys. This is also what I did on all my old phones and it's never been this horrible.

- The autocorrect isn't learning. At all. I cannot tell you how many times I've use the words "to/too", "home" and "come", but every single time, I get "top", "hone", and "cone", to the point where I've had to delete the words from the phone's dictionary. Never had this problem except on brand new phones (and by brand new, I mean first day or two of having it, not *2 full weeks later*).

- On top of autocorrect not learning, randomly I'll get 2 separate words, though it's more gibberish like "c be" or something like that. It's definitely not what I swiped and I don't know what I do differently to see such results. I don't even know how swiping can get you two words, let alone when there's no differentiation between short and long words. Again, never had this issue before.

- For whatever reason, some texts/other inputs put a space before the first word. It starts fine, but as soon as I input the first word, there's a space before it. It's minor but with my OCD, it drives me insane and I'd really like it to stop.

So yeah, those are my problems, really hoping someone can help me out, even if I have to download a new keyboard (if it comes to that).

Thank you for your time!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] CDMBolton:
Me too

You have described my frustration to a T. I came from an S5 to S8+ and the swipe/dictionary is driving me crazy. Same things you experiencing. I try to type Saturday, it gives me two words cn.. theiys Makes no sense, don't know where that comes from. I get random spaces, especially if I edit. I can't figure out how to update the dictionary as like you, it is not "learning" me at all. I try to use the word "will" in a sentence and it gives me "Erik". HUH??? It should give the most common word first. I can't imagine more people are typing Erik than will.

I hope someone can explain how to fix/update this.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] choccy31:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] gerardolan64:
try Gboard..... or swifkey
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] LudoGris:
THIS

I tried using the default Samsung Keyboard for a little while, but noticed the same issues. Switched back to GBoard and very happy. Not as "pretty" but it gets the job done much better. Biggest benefit is that all my words and such are stored in the cloud with GBoard, so when I switch to another phone (work phone) it still works just as well. AND, when I buy the Galaxy S9 it will work the same no matter what.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ttown:
I've had similar frustrations with the keyboard. One particular example is when I type "Kara's" the keyboard changes to "Kara s". When I try to correct it, it changes to "Kara 's".

I also sometimes get two words that don't make sense when typing one longer word. I didn't have this issue with the S7 edge.

I personally use SwiftKey because it has great prediction in non English languages (Romanian, in my case) and a lot of cool themes.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Charkatak:
I agree with last commenter about using SwiftKey, it does remember words properly and seems to be very intuitive.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Osmodiar:
Sorry for bringing this back to life, but does anyone knows a solution to this issue? It seems to be affecting most common keyboards. In my case I use Swype. Switched from S7 to S8+ and Swype started failing to complete full words, starts creating spaces an nonsense constructions. I've been reading that Swiftkey is also having the same problem.

On the other hand Samsung Keyboard works fine but sucks at recognizing words properly. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Lamhfada:
I'm having the exact problems. Came here to find a solution and saw your post first. Ive also deleted words so they don't come up, I get spaces and other times it won't space. Some words just do not show up unless I type them... I, too, use the swipe feature
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Phalanx7621:
Just use Gboard and problems solved. Honestly it's ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] StaceyH:
So no real answer besides switch keyboards? Can you still swipe text on different keyboards?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Titus_Andronicus:
Swiftkey is always the first app I install on a new phone (or after a factory reset). Just do it, make the switch. You will thank yourself.

Yes, Swiftkey does swipe (I don't use it).

I wanna scream at Samsung

I am having the same problems described above. I'm realizing that Samsung was not careful and thorough to test out it's product before launching sales.

They tell me I must go to Best Buy to have a "reflash" done to the software.

[Google Pixel XL Accessories] JWadle:
I bought this desktop charger on Amazon specifically because it did not have a hard wired cable and apparently would allow use of the Pixel XL OEM USB C cable and charger to support rapid charging.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M4L3VPL/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Surprise. The input port on this charger is micro USB not USB C, and the included cable is USB A to micro USB. It doesn't accommodate the OEM USB C cable and charger. Nowhere in the description does it mention micro USB. If you look closely at the picture, you can tell what it it is, but describing it specifically as a "Pixel XL Charger" is misleading (at least to me).

The hardware is good quality and of course works as a (slow) charger for the Pixel. As often happens with a low prioced item, it's not worth the cost of return shipping to get a refund so I'll just use it as is.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] M9x3mos:
From the picture it mind of looks like that but not easy to tell. I agree. I also wouldn't feel comfortable with having it hold up the phone by only the charging port. Just a bad feeling that it could break the phone.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Jammol:
They sent you the wrong dock by accident. If you look at the reviews on amazon, people actually posted pics of the Type C version. Are they not wanting to exchange it? I wouldn't buy that one anyways because the design is EXTREMELY flawed. The Pixel XL is heavy, top heavy, that port wouldn't last too long supporting all that weight at a 40* angle.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] JWadle:
I see no other version of this dock. This one has a USB-C on which the phone stands, and a microUSB port in the base. Based on a review from another buyer, it does provide rapid charging when connected to an OEM Pixel charger block using a USB-C to microUSB cable. Problem is the cable provided with the dock is USB-A to microUSB, preventing use of the OEM USB-C charger. I've ordered the correct cable and will see if it works.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] JimSmith94:
I am very happy with the Seidio one. It has USB-C for both connectors: https://www.seidioonline.com/product/seidio-desktop-charging-cradle-type-c/
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Mike02z:
I would avoid any dock that does not have a stand section. As was said, the Pixel XL is fairly heavy. I went another way I picked up one of these:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XDJ2K44/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm not sure how but when a use a wireless fast charger the Pixel says "Charging Rapidly". The connector is easy to remove for connection to a PC or standard USB-C charger. It also fits with my Spigen Rugged Armor case. At first there was a small bump on the back that kept the phone from laying completely flat on it's back. After 3 days that bump seems to be gone.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] JWadle:
I bought a USB-C to microUSB cable and tried this dock with the OEM USB-C charger that came with the Pixel XL. Works, but still no rapid charging. Am returning the cable and using the USB-A to microUSB that came with the dock.

On the dock itself: As I mentioned before, it's high quality and the USB-C connector snaps securely when the phone is mounted. The phone stands nearly vertical and it seems to place very little leaning pressure on the dock's USB-C plug. Other docks for USB-C that I've used (e.g. with a Nexus 6P) held the phone at more of an angle and needed a "backrest" to offset the lean. We'll see over time on this one, but so far I love the look of the dock and the "snap-in-place" when mounting the phone.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Mike02z:
No USB-A to USB-C cable will allow rapid charging of the Pixel XL. The cable must be USB-C - USB-C and the brick needs to support PD rapid charging. You cannot use a QC3.0 Fast Charger. It will not charge it rapidly.

I thought my wireless stand was charging rapidly but while it says it is, it is still slow charging. Fast wireless charging is the ONLY think I miss about the S7.

Hey XDA!

I somehow soft-bricked my Galaxy S3 by restoring a backup. Since the vol+ button is broken (I have taken off the back plastic panel of the phone, so I can trigger the vol+ by inserting a pin to where the button should press the connector thingy, but it's not a constant input) I cannot access recovery, however I can get into download mode. I have tried flashing several stock ROMs via Odin, but the phone just bootloops on the Samsung logo.

I have also tried googleing "how to unbrick galaxy s3", but they either didn't work, or the files didn't exist anymore.

Any of you have any idea on how I could get this phone back to life?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Make sure the firmware matches the device. Flash the firmware twice with a factory reset in-between.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lada333:
I wish I could.

The .tar files I have downloaded are specifically for the GT-I9300, unfortunately I cannot wipe all data with Odin (and I still can't access recovery)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Check the sticker in the battery compartment. It may hold some useful information.

Flashing random firmware is a bad idea. You need to find out something about it, like where it originated or what carrier it was on. Then obtain the firmware, then flash it twice back to back. The first flash only reflashes system/data/cache. The rest are done on the second flash.

If you flash a firmware for eg t-mobile and the phone is locked to eg O2 then it won't boot. You get the bootloop. It'll boot "if" you get the right firmware for it.

I think contacting YOUR carrier could help too as they have access to information that you can't see. There is a possibility that they might know where it's imei originally came from.

Beamed in by telepathy.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lada333:
I have tried flashing the same .tar a few times in a row, got them from this site, and I have clicked on the right one according to my carrier (Telekom HU), but the firmware didn't match the description on the website, so I suppose it'd take way too long to guess and try all the firmwares.

I have taken the phone to a local repair shop, they are going to fix the volume buttons, so hopefully I'll be able to boot into recovery when it gets done.

Thanks for your help though!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
"if the device still works at all". There is a strong chance that it is bricked from flashing the wrong firmware. The phone store will tell you when you pick it up as they must test their work.

Beamed in by telepathy.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lada333:
I mean, they can always just tell/show me that they are able to boot into recovery/download mode without any problems, and just end the conversation there.

I asked them if they could unbrick the device, and/or fix the button, they straight ignored my request for unbricking, and told me that they can replace the buttons.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
The cost of the time to repair the device isn't worth the value of the device. That's why they ignored the unbrick request. You'll be paying more than the device is worth.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lada333:
If it was my device, I probably wouldn't have taken it to get it repaired, but since it belongs to a friend of mine, who can't afford a new phone right now, he wanted to get it repaired.

It's gonna cost 10k HUF, a second hand S3 is about 25-35k, so yeah, it's way too expensive, but doesn't cover the price of the whole phone itself.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
That sucks. I hate the fact that in some countries poverty is so prevailant that they can't even afford a basic amenity or an "essential piece of basic technology for the 21st century". I find it appaling and credits to you for looking after someone in need!. People have been sainted for less.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lada333:
Yeah well, the replacement part is going to be like half of what's connected to the mobo (all side buttons, camera panel, etc), which I probably got scammed with, cuz after looking into it, I found a replacement part just for the volume buttons. It's too late to change my mind, since the repair shop have already ordered the parts.

Appreciate your help, have a nice one!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Are you sure?. Here in the UK you can still cancel regardless, even if the parts have been fitted. They just have to undo the work and charge the time it took to do so. No other charges may apply. If we find the same deal elsewhere for a cheaper price they must match that price or better it. It could be worth checking if your country offers similar consumer protection.

Anyway, hopefully the button is the only thing wrong with it and you sort it out with ease.. Fingers crossed!.
