[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] s327374:
Hi All,

I am looking for some help in regards to changing firmware on ODIN. I can't seem to find the required information on line.

When I change Chinese to HK firmware, it is generally an easy process if the model numbers are the same. I can see that this is happening and possible through Baidu search etc.

However, I have purchased the 128 gb model rather than the 64 gb model and so wonder which part of the firmware will be problematic when flashing.

Basically, I'm asking how do I know which is the 128gb Firmware and which is the 64 gb firmware (same model number) and does it actually matter? If it does matter and parts of the firmware can be used. Which parts?

Any assistance or links would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] FiveOhFour:
I have the 8gb model and I'm not sure how to move apps to an SD card. Only some apps can be moved and I don't even have space to download new one single to move. Is there a method without root that gives more control over moving apps to SD? I realize performance could take a hit

The old android methods don't seem to be applicable and I'm not sure what if anything is applicable now
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] Goofendantillis:
Settings/apps/long press app/storage/change

Also make sure under the developers options the last to sliders at the bottom are engaged
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] FiveOhFour:
Unfortunately there's a surprising number of apps that don't support the ability to be moved to sd card & lack that option. Even more unfortunately is the fact that Samsung did not enable the android 6 feature that allows you to format an SD card as internal storage. Which leaves buyers of this phone 3GB basically that quickly shrinks and as if to always mock your lack of space there's 2 or 3 versions of every type of app on the phone. Googles messaging apps, samsungs, Verizon's. Googles email client/gmail/Samsung client/Verizon's. Etc etc. and none can be deleted of course.

i know this is stupid question but is there any chance to get kitkat for honor 6x because kitkat is pure android it supports everything without restrictions.

after lolipop we lost support for many apps

all of my favorite apps will no longer work.

is there any possibility for kitkat?

so many apps i will give you few apps list xposed framework not full supported. gravity box with 1 brightness level. multiple hayday accounts app. selinux not permissive. screenfilter not work. overall os size is very less this device will work like beast on kitkat.

simple comparison is difference between windows 7 and windows 10
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] oae08:
All these apps have substitutes that work on android 6+

Also windows 10 works much better than 7 imho :)
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Ramesh006:
but windows 10 doesn't support all drivers we have to reboot pc with disable driver signature enforcement something like that. i have faced lot of issues when flashing os and with fastboot drivers which works awesome on w7. most annoying thing is microsoft spying on w10 and u cant stop it.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] suhel28:
Erm.. I never had issues with drivers on my windows 10. I think you need to install the universal android drivers that are widely available on the internet. Regarding spying then since you are using an android which is a Google ptoduct, you cannot escape spying. Google is synonymous to spying

[General Questions and Answers] Yash24:
Sites say that we should keep our battery between 40-80% because charging battery to 100%(And losing till 5-10%) can degrade the capacity of battery.

But Company representatives says that we should charge till 100%.

Can anyone please tell me that till how much we should drop our battery and till how much we should charge it?
[General Questions and Answers] GLO:
Companies like Toshiba and Samsung, have a feature with their laptops to assist in prolonging their laptop battery life called 'Battery Life Extender' which stops charging at 80%.

It is supposed to prolong the life of the battery by avoiding over charging.

For smart phones we have

Quick Charge, Fast Charging, Rapid Charge and other names haven been given to this technology. With the HTC 10, the large 3,000 mAh battery essentially can recharge from 0-80% in just 35 minutes, then it trickle charges the remaining 20% to preserve battery life. The entire phone can recharge from 0-100% in around 75 minutes.

Smart chargers will stop charging at 100% where as computer USB ports 500mA and basic cheap chargers (500mA-1000MA) will keep pushing power to the phone. These should not be left on the charger overnight.

https://youtu.be/v0Rhu2YGxeQ

They say that you should not deep drain your battery, but getting to 0% is not a total deep drain. I get down to self shutdown once a month and perform a 100% full charge to calibrate the battery and % markers.

This has allowed my HTC M8 to run well for almost 4 years.
[General Questions and Answers] Yash24:
So, exactly how much you drop and charge?
[General Questions and Answers] GLO:
Hi Yash24,

I top up my phone in the morning 1.5hrs before I leave for work and finish off in the car.

Im close to 100% and then top it off again on the drive home.

This usually is at 10-15%.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dorudoru:
Really newbie here - I've been reading all the forums for a week and still have problems.

Have an HTC tilt - Cingular/ATT - 8925.

So far, works good but - I was trying to use "bloover" / "btexplorer" / "sbth" and no luck. Install went good but trying to start them from Java, I get an error :

" The MIDlet could not be instantiated: java.lang.NoClassfFoundError "

I do know that this could be fixed, not sure how.

Any help, suggestions (never worked with java before, edit registry).

I also like to mention that after a week of studies and tries, "youtube" on HTC (at least on mine) does NOT WORK - tried everything - nothing works - won't play video. Error: "RealPlayer : Media file type not supported." And regardless a few threads - there is no "Video Sites" icon on "Programs".

Thanks and please don't redirect me to "JavaBible" - I couldn't understand it. All I need to know is if there is anything (and if yes - what - to make my programs run - maybe a different midlet manager).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
See my lats comment: there's no way to run most? all? BT stuff on Windows Mobile. Sorry - if you need Bluetooth support, get a Symbian Smartphone.

??? Are you sure you've deployed the TCPMP plug-in? RealPlayer has nothing to do with YouTube.

And, do you mean Mobile YouTube or the regular one? For the former, you'll need HTC Streaming Media (but it may not work with you if your connection is NAT'ed); for the latter, the TCPMP plug-in.

But, in the MIDlet Bible (if you mean the one at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=The (Java) MIDlet Bible ) it's clearly explained you in NO WAY can mke Bluetooth work under the current KVM's. ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dorudoru:
youtube and bt

First off all, thank you for prompt response.

About BT- eg.-playing and listening music n/a on HTC Tilt but with 3rd party software (bt audio, bt music and so ) music streaming over bluetooth, skype enable and so works - could be a 3rd party to deploy midlets on java?!

Then youtube - I installed Tcmp, then flash player, go thru all the options, even made default player for all files. I was trying to acces youtube from ie - www.youtube.com -

and that's how I got the error. And why is realplayer I don't have a clue. Tried a few versions of tcmp, uninstall and flashed all the time.

It will be great if I could get some heads up or some new links for different players. I'm kind of sure I did it correctly (not once).

Thank you!

From B381, dload fails. I suppose that's because this is not the OTA for 381.

But i wonder why i can't get this OTA in France, maybe that's because i bought my phone in a shop, with no phone provider ? Or because it's only from 380 ?

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Trifixion:

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Leon Lambra:
I have read on a different forum, that Honor can force your device to Update to the latest firmware, which in this case is B389 (but only for the frd-l09 variant). You just have to contact your local Honor facebook account and ask them. Tell them your current firmware you are on and tell them your IMEI number, they will then force your device to update via the built in update programm.

I have not tested it yet, I will let you know if this works.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] KoumiCZ:
Screen dimming after update to EMUI 5 in apps Chrome, SMS, Contacts, E-mail, etc. occurs in the following cases.

1) the device was updated to EMUI 5 and the factory settings were then made

2) The device was updated to EMUI 5, but the system optimization was performed using the Phone Manager application during use

3) The device was updated to EMUI 5, but one of the power modes (Power Save, Ultra) was set,

4) The device was updated to EMUI 5, but the Optimize item in the Battery setting was selected during use
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Leon Lambra:
Wrong!!!

Dimming only happens between 10% and 71% screen brightness, anything above or lower will not dimm the screen, test it yourself, use the app screen brightness by CurveFish.

The issue is that when i bought it i was stuck with the B131 (2 months ago) and ive been only able to update with FF (B380) and ever since it never showed me the B381 and B389..... i guess that for some reason my phone has something blocking OTA updates since factory.

I think the screen dimming was there since 4.0 but it could be 'fixed' by turning on performance mode.

Also for many people auto rotation does not work if any smart setting is switched on which is quite annoying too...

Only if these bugs that are reproduceable which have been present for many generations of firmware can be fixed... But one can only hope.
