I was hoping that the notification pull-down setting would be in this update. Anyone know where to find the apk of touchwiz that includes the "swipe down anywhere on the screen to pull down the notification bar" change?

Go to apkmirror I think it's in there. I have it if you don't find it I will help with link.

Yeah I'm usually one of the first people to call bullsh!t when people say how much smoother their phones are after updates but I noticed it INSTANTLY. It caught me off guard because I certainly wasn't expecting anything to be any smoother. Had to do a double take. *Most* of the frame drops when scrolling are gone. It's still not Pixel smooth, but it's a VAST improvement to a UX that I was already perfectly happy with.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] iteam:
Sweet!

Do you know if I would have to uninstall Substratum themes before I update or receive the update? I thought I read that some where, can't find the post...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] jason504:
No you don't. I had a bunch of them installed and did the update and everything was still there in place.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] mutelight:
Running the Armis BlueBorne scanner it is showing that the vulnerability is patched though. From what I read, Samsung included the fix on top of an older security patch for Android. (That is what S8 users were reporting too.)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jo The Veteran:
I got a s6 that bootloops after the Samsung logo. I tried Odin flash firmware but failed after writing nand. Then used emergency recovery through their official application. It failed a bunch of times but succeeded in the end (after 10 retries or so). However the phone still bootloops even after a successful restore. And advice on anything else I can try?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0076:
https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/help/galaxy-s6-bricked-t3671754/post73762467

Try like that... With latest Odin, drivers and stock FW downloaded via SamFirm. If there are some errors with writing NAND - hardware issue (probably eMMC like in 95% cases). Something happened with phone before, some heavier falls or something?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jo The Veteran:
Yeah, that was the first thing I tried that gave me the NAND error. And yes, the bootloops started happening at random after the phone fell and broke the digitizer as well, after a while the bootloop became permanent. I suspected a broken connection in the NAND bga, but what threw my hypothesis away was that it actually finished the emergency restore from Smart Switch. I guess that doesn't mess with the boot sector at all, and only restores the android OS. Oh well worth a shot, now I've got another expensive hi-tech brick.

Anyone buying those by any chance? Just checking.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0076:
Some S6 are really sensitive like one fall down and broken eMMC. Repair is even more unprofitable than a completly broken display :D

EDIT:

Or if you know how to do it, you can change all motherboard your self if you found someone in you area or eBay or something like that, but be sure is from good source so 100% working and not from stolen phone :P Sometimes can buy for 40-60€.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] TheTekkitBoss:
Hi all,

I've found myself in a bit of a pickle for the last four days. I was using my GearVR headset, when it froze. I could hear the audio, so I assumed it just needed to be redocked on the headset. So, I took it out, and was immediately met with a black screen. After a few seconds, it came to the "Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Powered by android" screen. I figured it was just rebooting, so I let it be. 2 hours later, I come back to it at the same screen. So, I forced it off (Vol Down, Power) and let it reboot again, getting stuck on the same splash screen. The phone will NOT boot to recovery, but WILL boot to download mode.

Fast forward 3 days and I have reflashed it FOUR times now with the latest STOCK firmware (7.0 Nougat) and it still refuses to boot past this screen. I have tried to flash a custom recovery, but was c*** blocked by the FRP lock on my device. Any help would be MUCH appreciated!!

-Tekk
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] zfk110:
you have to flash the stock rom using odin, otherwise it wont work. FRP is on as you can see on the picture.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TalyWhackin:
Hello, any info I've found doesn't help clarify one big question for me:

I just installed Resurrection Remix onto my m7spr, from an old version of Sense. I want to restore user apps/data using my Titanium Backup, however I didn't clean out the old system app/data backups prior. I don't want to restore any system data, as I'm sure it's not compatible and will likely corrupt new system data, or just be entirely useless and wasting space. Is there a way to do a batch restore that does not include system apps/data?

Additional info:

My batch restore options are as follows:

Restore missing apps with data (250)

Restore all apps with data (314)

Restore all system data (277)

Restore missing apps + all system data (101)

Restore newer versions of user apps (0)

I'm reasonably certain I don't have 250 missing user apps that need restoring.

Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TalyWhackin:
Playing around with it a bit I discovered you can individually select/deselect the apps you wish to restore from a list, and do a selective batch restore. This is what I was looking for.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saturday_night:
Yes, best way is to install the apps you want from play store and then restore only app data for those apps. If you restore complete apps it makes problems very often espacially between different android versions.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] tag4:
I live chatted with sprint to get the MSL and I thought they were giving me a BS code. Has anybody else received their code as "000000"? Yesterday it didn't work for me so I live chatted again to get the MSL. I was given the same number, but this time they also gave me the puk code which is pretty much useless for me for what I was trying to achieve. Today, while scrolling the secret codes looking for a service number to put in I found something, tried it, and failed and it automatically rebooted. Upon reboot I went through shortcut master for LTE functionality and I entered the MSL number as all zeroes again and viola, I could edit my APNs. Is this dumb luck or after chatting through sprint live chat is it possible they pushed something to the phone that took affect after live chat? Either way, I was able to edit what I need and now have hotspot working w/o the benefit of the tethering plan.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] zone2oo0:
uuh, so the MSL is "000000" just to comfirm. LOL BUT you cannot edit APN type, at least i can't.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Thats_cool_bro:
Funny thing is that "000000" was the msl for the S8 plus as well.. lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] mbmike29:
I used the website activation trick (where you leave your phone OFF while trying to activate it from the website before powering it on) and it gave me '000000' and I thought it just didn't know what the MSL was because I bought it from Samsung... I guess it is really 000000?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] fgr:
I do this too.

And yes, the MSL is 000000. Just as it was on my S8+. I guess they aren't giving the phones unique MSL's any longer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Androidwarrior:
I can't edit it, faded in gray.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Wilmingtech:
I just installed the Shortcut Master.... followed your directions above and never even had to enter the 000000

Added ",dun" and done. Works perfectly,

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Androidwarrior:
Did you do this before the update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Wilmingtech:
Got the Note 8. Put it on the network. Installed all the updates. Installed all my apps and transferred everything from my old phone then did the edit to enable hotspot.

Version when I made the edit was AQI5
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Androidwarrior:
Finally got it to work. I tried to edit it through ##3282# but it doesn't work that way. Update profile disables it as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Wilmingtech:
Same here. Gotta follow directions above using the master shortcut app. 000000 doesn't unlock the APN settings in ##3282# (DATA) and you don't need you MSL code to use the app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] trmpt4him:
I'm updated to latest version and used the shortcut app and worked perfect.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] ahachez1:
Ok so changed apn setting with shortcut mastr lite and saved no problem. But i still see tether data being counted. Would anyone tell me what im doing or not doing thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Wilmingtech:
Data is data. Enabling hotspot in this way doesn't hide from Sprint that you are using data. They can see how much data comes from your phone on their network.

What It does do though is enables hotspot that you don't have to pay for. Although currently Sprint allows 10gb of reporting for free.

But if you do this mod when your 10gb is up you should still be able to hotspot.

Phone: Blu VIVO XL2 V00700UU

Request date: 20 September 2017

Recieve date: 20 September 2017

Here is 95% of the email I used to request my kernel sources. First I sent to Amazon because that is who I bought the phone from. Then I sent to BLU Products after adding needed information for them. Then I called BLU Products, 1.877.602.8762, CSR pulled my email request, then got my email address and sent me a pdf that told me how to get from ftp site. It wasn't up so I replyed and let them know. After two hours it was available and I downloaded. defconfigs are present and all is looking well at first glance.

Feel free to use this for your kernel requests, I didn't get the run-around like many posts say they got. Hope this helps someone:

This is a request for the kernel sources, configs, and anything else for the BLU Vivo XL2 V00700UU in accordance with the GPLv2 Section 3:
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.);
so that I can compile a working kernel for myself.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smith901:
Some stuff is missing, gotta be proprietary Mediatek stuff. Got it to compile, bootloop after 2sec in repacked twrp3.1 I made using 3 previous factory kernels.

Probably use it to bust a head since its big and useless.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smith901:
I let Blu know that I didn't appreciate getting "stepped on" code. Two days later, another email. This time sources have another name, glaring differences during extraction and beginning of compilation.

I've had my Note 8 for 9 days now and while I was thinking about buying a screen protector when it arrived, I must admit that I'm quite impressed by the quality of the screen. It just feels so hard to scratch, so much so that one would probably struggle trying to scratch it even on purpose. I don't really see myself scratching it by accident anytime soon, although I must admit I'm this kind of guy who never drops the phone and handles it with extreme care.

I'm just curious to read what you guys think, maybe somebody persuades me to buy a screen protector after all, who knows.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] chazglenn3:
The Gorilla Glass 5 is more shatter-resistant than previous versions and that means it is softer also. I had my Note 7 only a few days before it started picking up micro scratches on the front and back. Your mileage may vary. I'm putting on a Whitestone done and a skin on the back of mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Fourstarzzzz:
I bought a screen protector but am debating putting it on. I may try it and see how it goes
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Gary02468:
Many of us do fine with no protection. Others report getting scratches no matter how hard they try not to.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Torquemada288:
I've always put a protector on my previous phones but I'm using my Note 8 without a screen protector. Like you, I'm always very careful with my phone and never drop it. The pocket that I put my phone in only contains my phone; I never put loose change or key in there. My Spigen Slim Armor case protects most of the phone and keeps the screen off the table surface if I do put it face down. With all of the issues people have had with curved tempered glass screen protectors, it just seems like more hassle than it's worth. The only one I'd get is the Whitestone Dome but that costs $60 here. Bit pricey.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] xile6:
I always run a protectors. Better safe then sorry.

I take very good care of my stuff. If a scratch did happen you cant take it back. So there would be no way ti fit it without buying a no front glass or new phone.

With a protector you can simply remove it and put on another one.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] hx4700 Killer:
ANY sharp instrument will scratch if the point is pressed in to the display, period. It is MUCH easier to bang on it with a long blade edge and look like you did nothing than the tip of an x-acto knife. That is what those demos do. Resisting attack across a large area is really what you are seeing. Keys are small like that etc...

Finally, a big part of Gorilla Glass is that it also HIDES or better put doesnt show minor damage as much as other glass. In other words, its there you just don't see it.

I bet a screen for this will be $300-$400. How much is a protector that looks good?
