Since kenzo already has AOSP & NOS oreo build available, i just wanted to know if the builds are project treble enabled or not. If not, why not?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] fardeenah:
no it wont have treble. OEM and qualcomnn must provide drivers etc from a very low level so that it works well. kenzo only had marshmellow, so definetely no. if the device came with android O then it will have.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] AravindhStanley:
It's a lot of work which cannot be done by a single person or a team. Even Google has to team up with the silicon vendors and oem to try bring it to current flagships. Lineage Gerrit has some treble related commits, who knows, anything can happen. But it's mostly unlikely.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] AtlantaBB:
Hello,

Which Note 8 should I buy?

International Version

Unlocked Version

Sprint Version

I heard the processor for the International Version is best I think it stats with an E. Should I get that?

I would like to root.

Does it matter or should I just order one directly from Sprint?

Will this work with Sprint?

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Factory Unlocked Phone - 6.3" Screen - 64GB - Midnight Black (U.S. Warranty)

This one from Amazon?

Should I buy that one above from Amazon or buy it directly from Sprint?

Can I root both of them?

I would like to order one today, I just don't know if I should order from Sprint or Amazon.

P.S.

Also if this is not possible should I get a S8 or S8 Plus? However, reading over on their threads doesn't look like root is possible really there either, hit or miss. Is that true? Which S8 I should get? International or US?

I mainly want apps like:

Ad Block

YouTube Background Player

YouTube Ad Block

ETC...

Please Advise.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] purchasedPhone:
you said sprint, sprint is cmda... meaning, exynos WILL NOT WORK. no international phone, you must buy snapdragon. now you have two choices carrier locked, and carrier unlocked. both have a locked boot loader and are not currently capable of root. if you purchase the phone out right it does not really matter which version you get. if you buy sprint locked after 50 days on their network they will carrier unlock the phone. the only true difference is carrier bloatware/ software which I'm hearing can be flashed using odin
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pcriz:
There are SOME radio differences but I agree it shouldn't matter.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] AtlantaBB:
Thank you, that is what I need to know. Now what about getting a S8 or S8 Plus instead? Are those rootable? I mean does it even matter any more? The only thing I really want root for is Youtube Ad Block, but what the crap, mine as well just pay 10 bucks a month and get Youtube Red and allow my phone to update it self all the time.

What about S8 or S8 Plus? Root those or are people still having trouble? I think Samsung has finally figured out how to make it really difficult. Seems like it is not even worth it anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] purchasedPhone:
from what I hear it is possible to root the s8, but it limits your max battery charge to 80%? kinda a **** trade off if you ask me.

so I'm like you I thought I must have root, my last android was a Nexus with a completely unlocked boot loader and I flashed custom roms when I tired of my current rom. that was four years ago and I've been jailbroke iOS since. do you still need root?

most people will say no. if they say absolutely the main arguments I've heard are for xposed(which doesn't even work on android 7) and viper4android (or some similar name, a sound tweak I think) besides those two, removing bloatware, and hosts file ad blocking.

my personal experience: I will be giving up an unlocked boot loader by purchasing the note 8. this mean no custom roms. I haven't given up hope for a future possible root method, but I am willing to accept that it may never come or when it does we can only charge to 80% or something else ridiculous. I don't need root, I would like it, but I will compromise.

tldr;probably not, especially if you are willing to sub to YouTube red for 10$ a month.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Torquemada288:
The issue is that the Snapdragons have locked bootloaders but you need a SD version to use the Sprint network. It doesn't matter if you buy a Note 8 or an S8, the issue with the locked bootloader is the same.

For me personally, I need root because a lot of the apps I have use root. If you only wanted to block ads on YouTube, it's probably unnecessary and far more hassle than it's worth.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] AtlantaBB:
Last question. I saw on another thread that this ... Is this true? Should I buy one that is unlocked from Amazon or the Samsung site and get hotspot or can I get hotspot on the Sprint one or do I need to search for the perfect app to do it? Which would be easier?

Unlocked version:

Hotspot - Awesome

Download Booster - Awesome

No Bloat - Awesome

Wi-Fi Calling - working awesomely

Sprint Version:

LTE Calling - I might miss, might be worth flashing Sprint mod when available...

Sorry, I can't provide any guidance in this area. I'm in Australia and don't have experience with the inclusions/exclusions on specific American networks such as Sprint. I do know they use CDMA technology, which the Exynos SoC doesn't support.

Hopefully, one of the other enlightened souls on this forum can help you with this question.

My question is do I need to get the unlocked version for hot spot to work or will it work with the Sprint version?

Thanks for the heads up. I really appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
The Sprint Version will cut out the download booster and hot spot unless your plan includes it but include calling plus features which include their version of the Wi-Fi Calling and LTE Calling for surfing over calls....but we already have that with Wi-Fi calling...Sprint also has Bloat software such as VVM but I install Google Voice for voicmail...it is up to you...at this point I have found no function lost.

Oops...I forgot to mention that they may update more frequently or sooner
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] AtlantaBB:
That is extremely important. Do I have this right? If I buy the unlocked version. Can I surf the internet while on the phone with the unlocked version from Amazon or Samsung or do I need to buy the Spring Version?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Agenesis:
I have the unlocked version arriving soon and I will be using it with sprint. (With the free 1 year promo)

AFIK only the sprint and unlocked versions are whitelisted to work on sprint. Any other snapdragon models you will need to request a manual request to add your IMEI to the sprint database.

And I believe the Exynos models isn't compatible with CDMA at all, something with licensing or patent issues with Qualcomm.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] AtlantaBB:
Oh I mean not on wifi - calling I am just talking about 4G LTE. I mean I have the note 3 right now. LOL. I know super old. I can talk on the cell network 4G LTE and surf the internet at the same time. Can you do that with the Unlocked Version and the Sprint Version or one or the other?

So the one from Amazon or Samsung, you should be fine, Yes the Exyons wont work. That is a bummer.

I am prepared to purchase youtube red for 10 bucks a month and have no commercials. I use youtube 24/7 because I can't root and get free blocks. But man it is going to be real hard to not use internet while on a call. That is horrible.

Might have to wait until my Note 3 actually dies and is completely destroyed before upgrading.

Yea but the Note 8 can't even let you surf while on the phone. I use this feature 24/7. I have a traveling job, and will be on the phone for hours and using the internet for various things. I can't imagine having a dead phone to the internet just because I am on the phone. That is pathetic.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
Nevermind...I was on bouncing on Wi-Fi and 4g...I tested 4g alone and no go...have to flash user_data firmware mod when available or full Sprint Firmware...not worth it to me to lose all the other goods that I get from being unlocked...I'll wait for the firmware
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] purchasedPhone:
I'm pretty sure the sprint firmware was posted over a week ago, on these forums. I still don't have my phone or even order confirmation so not 100%

let's get this straight, if you can flash the Sprint firmware to receive certain bonuses, can't a carrier locked sprint phone just flash the unlocked software to gain download booster or wifi hotspot? in the process wouldn't they also lose the sprint "bloatware"?

"all the other goods"? unpaid tethering hotspot, a download booster, and no carrier "bloat", what other goods? two "features", one could be paid for, and the download booster... I want to see a comparison before I believe it actually improves speed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] AtlantaBB:
So voice over data does not work period?

Are you saying it might work on the unlocked version once you can flash the Sprint Apps?

So it seems like to it to me if you get the Sprint Version you might get a hybrid of voice over data however if you want everything else like Hotspot you mine as well get the unlocked version? Am I missing something?

Exactly. I mean this is getting confusing. Which one do we get? The Sprint one from Sprint or the unlocked one from Amazon or Samsung? What are the hardcover differences? Which one did you order and why?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] AtlantaBB:
What about the software? Voice over data, being able to talk on the phone cell network and surf the internet at the same time? Do I need to buy the Sprint one for that or does it matter?

I am leaning towards buying the unlocked version for wifi hot spot, but I don't want to lose "calling plus"

This might help. Looks like the S8 & S8 Plus Sprint Version got the "Calling Plus" update but the unlocked versions did not.

https://community.sprint.com/t5/Samsung-Note-Series/Unlock-note-8-or-sprint-note-8/m-p/972414

This is what I am afraid of with the Note 8. Which Note 8 has the "Calling Plus" feature? Unlocked or Sprint? Does anyone know?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
The unlocked version comes with everything but LTE Calling (voice over LTE)...we can flash the userdata file from the Sprint Firmware to gain the LTE Calling (voice over LTE) and still have all the other features...win win...

The Sprint Version does not have download booster or Hotspot unless in your plan...but can be flashed to unlocked firmware and then Sprint userdata file for LTE Calling.

Unlocked is better for resale....

Sprint may get updates sooner....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] AtlantaBB:
Check this thread out. This guy works for Sprint. If you do that you are flashing your phone to a Sprint phone. Mine as well just get a Sprint Phone. If you flash it, it will block you from wifi tethering and add the bloatware. So you mine as well just get the Sprint phone and get the updates with "Calling Plus"

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/help/sprint-calling-plus-t3670069
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
Not if you just flash t he userdata file....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] AtlantaBB:
Are you sure? So you are saying the unlocked one is the best then and not the Sprint one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BlueFox721:
I believe so...even though both can be flashed to any firmware, the unlocked comes with more for less and can add the Sprint LTE Calling by flashing userdata (https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/snap-guide-flashing-standard-fw-carrier-t3627255). It takes more effort to go from carrier to unlocked firmare...plus if you decide to sell later...the unlocked carries its value more.

If for some reason we cannot get the userdata file to flash...we can always flash the full Sprint Firmware and lose booster and Hotspot (until work around) but gain the LTE Calling and keep the resell value and update timeline...

Wi-Fi tether works awesome on the unlocked by the way...

Update: after a few days of use my tether is now shutting off immediately...I haven't had an update or anything...maybe a server side shutdown feedback...I am going to see if an apn bypass will work later

Update: Tether working by applying this adb method here: http://www.themefoxx.com/2017/09/enable-usb-wireless-hotspot-tethering-galaxy-note-8.html

Unlocked firmware is going live if you buy the Sprint version...

Me and several friends of the German PX5 community have severe problems with google maps on PX5 units.

It often hangs especially after input destination on route calculation or after that starting moving map, but also after some time of moving map up.

I have the issue with the latest hot audio rom as with Malaysk both using the same kernel from rocky 28-AUG, others told having the issue for some time already.

I'm testing the unit for 4 weeks now and first haven't experienced the issue so much, but after others told I tested google maps more intensively and it is reproducible with increasing intensity. You can trigger it easily doing a voice input to some city some 100 miles away "OK Google - route to ....". I usually need only few tries then.

Same issue here, just when you start to navigate it hangs. Maybe when maps starts its route announcement, never hear that. Happens in all roms that I have tried. Just installed Malaysk V5, tried V4, stock and rooted HA. Tried all the forum tips and tricks like turn off navigation monitoring, be persistent, no offline maps.

Yes, remove maps and install the 9.46.2 apk and don't update it until the issue is fixed. Lots of links to it on the forum to it or can be found on the web. I also tried 9.50.2 and it worked about 95% of the time. I heard someone trying a beta 9.61.0 said it worked OK. Let's hope it does and it is released soon.

Until then it would be nice if someone with the know how could trouble shoot this and get to the root of the issue.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] slaughter01:

Issue is that if you use AndroidAuto, it will update the Maps application and you are back where you started.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] verkion:
In titanium backup, you can turn off the auto update per app.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] xdamember2:
Is that different from turning it off in the play store?

No but in play store you can only do this for all apps. In titanium you can do this for every app separately.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] echudoba:
Play store will do it separately. When in my apps, to to the store on the app you want to disable and click the menu upper right and uncheck auto update.

Right, but AndroidAuto will ask you to update Maps, and if you say no, it will exit. Unless you're saying the titanium backup will override this behaviour?

If not just delete and install older apk, login all your data is in google cloud.

Only offline maps take time and data to download.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] slaughter01:
I do not have a PX3 unit ( I have a PX5), so I am asking if anyone with PX3 unit have the same issues with google maps. :)
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] iwl:
I recommend keeping 9.42 apk on the device in case it is accidentally updated in the field and rollback needed.

I had to clear data memory of Google App, Services and Playstore due to several crashes of google - indicating more issues then just google maps.

After that autoupdate was enabled again and done, so be careful if you have to do this some day, disable wifi or whatvever to prevent update.

It is not a problem to install the older apk over the newer, but offline maps are gone then and so it is better to deinstall and reinstall anyway to prevent problems. Selecting the offline map ranges is somehow buggy (random shifts) and download takes lot of time and data some GB.
