[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mattycee:
I have a Telstra branded model I bought of my nephews girlfriend and I cannot get OEM Unlock on it, and it won't allow me to do Wifi-Calling unless it has a Telstra sim card in it.

I have no reception where I live so rely on wifi calling and the fact that flashing XSA or even an Optus firmware doesn't work as it defaults back to Telstra, I am in a bind.

The only way I can change the CSC is with root, but I cannot root the phone without OEM unlock, so its an expensive wifi only phablet at present.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Andysmith71:
Telstra branded post paid plan, just had OEM unlock appear at 2:45am. This is definitely a time activation thing. I actually activated it at 2pm Friday afternoon a week ago but last Friday night flashed firmware and did a factory reset which was just after 2am. Now a week later after doing the factory reset I've checked at 2:45am (Saturday morning) to find the OEM unlock appear. So it was triggered 1 week exactly from factory reset, down to the hour.

N950F TEL/TEL/TEL.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Andysmith71:
To Add - I tried to flash TWRP lost night and that was okay. I decided to hold onto stock and just have TWRP and Magisk at this stage until other ROMS are a little less buggy. Flashed TWRP. flashed Magisk, setup phone again and then decided to do a backup in TWRP. When trying to go into TWRP got the message 'Only offical released binaries are allowed to be flashed' and then went into a soft brick. Had to restore phone to stock and now OEM unlock has disappeared again, In download mode FRP and OEM lock are both OFF. Tried to reflash TWRP and get the same message - 'Only offical released binaries are allowed to be flashed'

So the plot thickens.

Any other Telstra users have the same issue?

Voda N950FXXU1AQI1/XAU

OEM Unlock appeared in developer settings 30/09 after phone switched on for the first time 19/09. Last flash (stock/Odin) was 24/09. Interesting.

TWRP installed/phone boots & working OK. Let's see how we go with root/custom rom...

Edit - And interestingly, after TWRP install (and wipe, obviously) & phone reboot, no OEM Unlock when developer settings enabled.

Extra edit - And upon attempting to boot back into TWRP, bootloop same as Andy in the posts above. Unable to reflash TWRP in download mode (same 'Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed' error).

Back to stock recovery/etc we go then...Who knows what Samsung have done/what they're playing at here & why they've done it, but frankly, they can eat a giant bag of dicks & wash them down with a **** shake.

who has rooted their note? and i still dont have oem unlock bought from samsung got it on the 19/9 in hornsby
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] dominicstg2:
got oem unlock by disabling and reinabling dev options :D

so i was reading on here that someone did this and it worked i tried it and it worked now my question is who is rooting and all that jazz because samsung told me that they now replace the batteries for 2 years so i was going to replace the battery at the end of the 1st year and then just before my warrenty finished replace it again so im kinda on the fence i love now that i can use substratum to theme and i have found a good ad blocker but the only thing i want really is debloat my phone of all the useless **** and unliminited texting like there is a bar on how much you can text before it converts to mms, send and received mms automatically, duel speaker mod and a good way to hibernate the apps like greenify but better since i think greenify on non root doesnt work so well
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Torquemada288:
WTF, Samsung?

This seems like a massive bug to me. Why would you allow the user to unlock the bootloader but lock it again if they actually flash anything? That's not how unlocking works and I can't imagine this was actually their intention. I think the code for making the OEM Unlock option appear/disappear is buggy and is resetting the OEM Unlock when it shouldn't be, such as when you flash a custom recovery. Hopefully, they realise this (or someone reports the bug to them) and it's fixed in an update.

What do you mean??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] DaQuiche:
Just wanted to throw this out there for anybody interested, a trick that worked for me to get my oem unlock option back instantly, and it's as simple as using a time cheat. Just open developer options, disable the update phone option, then open time settings and set time forward to about 10-20 days. Reboot of it doesn't work straight away and voila :)

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Axel85:
I'm planning to buy a small tablet. All I need is good display, good audio,good size and possibility to unlock root and find community support, that cost no more than 150 € second hand. I owned all the nexus , 7 2012 is too slow for those days .Nexus 7 2013 is still great for what I need, but sadly has an engineering defect that makes the touch degradate and presenting ghost touches and dead areas ( I had two of this) . Nexus 10 is a little too big and a little bit slower than nexus 7 2013 . Nexus 9 and pixel c too costly

The other only similar choose that comes to mind is the Xiaomi mipad (first model)

Do you think gpad is ok for me? Is there any notice I have to know? As hardware common defects , problems on nougat ROMs . (Just read to avoid gpe v510 version)

Any help or consideration would be helpful
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizzardsk:
It is a good tablet, but I think I would rather look for something stronger. I see a lot of lags in LOS 14.1 and seems that it won't be better. Maybe some G Pad II or G Pad III, although I am not sure if there is some LOS available for these tablets.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Axel85:
And this is exactly my problem , I preferred an old nexus 10 to any other 200€ range actual tablet . Because it's not so fast, sometimes lags , cameras are not working on 7.1.2, but I know that it is stable and decent for YouTube, internet surfing and reading. I don't use any graphic intensive game and only need a bunch of apps . I tell you this because I bought 3 tablets from Asus ,Lenovo and Samsung and tried many others from Asus and other brands with 2 gigs of ram , and no one can even reach the nexus 10 performance in the long time ( after some months) , they all goes from ok and fluid to sh** , Asus more than any other . I know what I do I'm a technician with a computer/smartphone repair laboratory , there were no bloatware or any background games present ,nothing, I even tried to debloat the system the most that I could . It's because all of this that I was asking

No way buddy.

Try the galaxy tab a 10.1 wifi 2016

I bought the tab A a few months ago and its really perfect for the money (around 189€ now).

Look at me for example.

Im here right now because i forgot to charge the galaxy for a week and i have to use the g pad now, so i already search for fixes etc..

It was a good tablet for 2013-14, but not anymore.

Don't even think about it! SD card random dismount problem has never been fixed, and the USA version was never updated beyond Jelly Bean.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnin:
For what it's worth, I was still using my V500 for exactly the same purposes.

I wasn't on stock for long, though, having transitioned to CM12.1 and was fully satisfied with it for a long time. Of course I got the ghost touches and SD card unmounting issues, but a quick reboot would normally fix those.

Sadly, I'm here now because a recent app update sent it into a bootloop twice recently, so I'm investigating if my device is past its age...
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masteryates:
As you should be able to pick up a v500 for something like $70, it may be worth a punt. I put Lineage 14.1 on the Mrs's v500 and its pretty good. The only time it really lags is when its woken from a long doze. Just bear in mind the screen isn't a patch on the Nexus 7 2013 as it has poor black levels and a yellow tint. :eek:

If I was in your boat, I'd also look out for a second hand Galaxy Tab S2 8". I bought mine a year ago in the UK for £190 from a CeX store so you should be able to pick one up much cheaper now. The lack of weight and screen of the S2 are amazing. :cool:
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sketchman16:
The S2 is very good for the money, though mine was $220 used, and my wife's v500(just bought it) was only $70. Right now I'm kinda wondering why I spent so much for the Samsung.

We'll see if I still think that in a couple weeks. But so far, I would say if you want a good cheap tablet, get the v500, and flash it with LOS. If you want the best used tablet in this size, for ~$200-$240, get the S2. Oh, and get the 2016 version. Not the 2015. LOS support for the 2016 is better. SM-T713 is what you want. The 710 is kinda dead, and it has been for a long time now.

But pertaining strictly to the OP, yes I would buy one today.

Because there is no other better LG tablet with custom ROM support, I think the best choice would be buying Google Pixel C.

Just a update for you my man, if you can, just buy the Lenovo P8 (don't know it's other names). It's a straight up update to the g pad 8.3, but if you still want it, buy the v500 man, it's a good tablet for around basics and intermediate needs

I wonder how do I use my old V500. I bought an older Nexus 9 and do not use V500 since then. I cannot use it as a video player cause it does not have a HDMI output. Maybe some video/audio player to kitchen, but it is not very usable without a remote. Any suggestions?

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizzardsk:

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masteryates:
Have to totally disagree with this. The Nexus 9 is by far the worst Android device I've ever experienced. The v500 can actually hold things in memory where the N9 has to constantly boot them out due to lack of RAM. I've tried custom roms on the N9, custom kernels with tricks like zRAM but the performance is still way too inconsistent. The only solution for the N9 is sending it to China for someone to solder in another 2GB RAM.

If you can get a v500 today for the right money and the right condition, its still better than many cheap sub £100/$130 tablets that are kicking around. LOS is needed though.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizzardsk:
I do not agree. I use Nexus 9 now with LOS 15.1 and it runs much better than v500, of course. Maybe It could be a little faster, but anyway it is very good. Only the battery seems to be weaker than v500 has, it discharges a little faster.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ze7zez:
It can not work much better because there is no LOS 15.1 for v500.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masteryates:
If you are running a single app, the Nexus 9 is better as its able to utilize that very quick CPU. The moment you start using chrome and have a few tabs open, it all comes crashing down as the tablet exceeds its RAM, which leads to stuttering, chrome tabs having to refresh and launcher redraws. :crying:

I really hope LOS 15 fixes the N9, but from my time of 1.5 years, and trying lots of ways to solve the inconsistent performance, you'll understand why I find it hard to believe.

Give me a slower but consistent V500 with multitasking anyday. :cool:
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizzardsk:
I was talking about Nexus 9.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sketchman16:
Wife still likes hers.

I have noticed it seems very dim for the same brightness setting as my Galaxy S2, and the battery also does not last quite as long, but comparing LG to Samsung isn't really fair, and it is older, too.

I'd definitely recommend one. I had a Nexus 9 for a very short time. Would not recommend one. Too heavy, and thick IMHO.

I'd still either buy a Gts28ve or the LG. Possibly the Gts28 now, too, if the prices have gone down enough.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizzardsk:
Why comparing Samsung to LG is not fair?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ze7zez:
You can compare everything with everything. However, it is necessary to be able to draw the right conclusions from this comparison before issuing an unambiguous assessment.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizzardsk:
Nexus is really great because of google, open, custom rom support etc. It is bigger and it is an advantage for me. Also performance is good, although sometimes I see that it is only dual core.

As might have know, the mobile operating system developed by Cannonical for the Nexus 4 was called Ubuntu Touch. The project was canceled early 2017.

More information : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Touch

The legacy subject for Ubuntu touch on Nexus 4 was host by nikwen, https://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/general/rom-ubuntu-touch-14-10-utopic-unico-t2324683

Thanks to the community the entire mobile operating system has been forked by Ubports guys... with a great success, they established a fairly strong monthly finance through donation https://www.patreon.com/ubports and are building a foundation : https://ubports.com/page/foundation

I've the pleasure today, September 21st 2017, to create this subject to announced that Ubuntu Touch for Nexus 4 in a fairly stable version :).

So far all the blocking bug found were fixed yesterday , you can track in real time the bug here : https://github.com/ubports/ubports-touch/issues?utf8=✓&q=label:"Device: Mako"

How to test it :

By the official way of course : https://wiki.ubports.com/wiki/How-to-install-UBports-on-your-device

This will wipe all the data on your phone ! Be careful !

Version to install today : Stable

Installer to use : https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer

By Multirom, strongly disapproved as it is not supported by Ubports project.

***************** It's easy to install, however upgrade from ubuntu touch broke the book 1 over 10 updates.... ************************

It might be useful for you to give a glance to the OS, but for daily driver uses the official installation tool.

Bug from multirom installation will not taken into account if they are not present on the official installation. (Except some boot impossible after an update on the multirom version which required to wipe the ubuntu install, it works fine).

Hello,

I understand your thoughts however we can see on Sailfish OS, it doesn't really help to get better share market.

Right now the focus is to move on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, to get long term support for security update, last version of Mir and unity 8 and stuff running like andbox :laugh: . For this the developers are creating Halium project to allow any linux project, Plasma Os, Utouch, Sailfish (hopefully) etc... on the same driver layer => If a device will be port on plasma Os it will work on the others.

For more info : https://halium.org/

The OTA-2 has been released and the nexus 4 got it's first stable version https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-blog-1/post/ubuntu-touch-ota-2-release-78

Soooo is there a way to flash this from TWRP? I have tried flashing from both an Ubuntu machine and a Windows machine over. And over. And over. For the past 3 days, and I'm getting really annoyed. On Ubuntu, it always gets stuck after pushing just a few things, and just sits there. Left it overnight. On Windows, it detects ADB and the device just fine, but no matter how many times I reboot to bootloader, even with the correct nexus 4 drivers installed, nothing. Just sits there. I can install Android or Sailfish no problem.

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 AM ----------

Did a fresh run right now, still not working

I also have tried that magic flash tool many times. Just tried it again, and it's, yep, just sitting there.

It never gets any further than this on the magic tool.

Does your fastboot is unlocked ?

When you flash is the phone in fastboot mode ?

Did you try with another cable ?

Did you try a manual push to Android or Sailfish ?
[Nexus 4 General] dancle86:
Nothing works for me.

1.) The Windows-Tool wont find the Nexus 4, but it is in fastboot-mode and unlocked

2.) My both Ubuntu Setups, 16.04. and 17.04 wont install the ubuntu-device-tools and the magic tool have the same problem, it wont find a device, even when its in fastboot-mode (it have the same problem, it wont install the ubuntu-device-tools)
[Nexus 4 General] slash.tux:
My guess,

1) Widnows doesn't have the correct Nexus 4 driver.

2) I'm not sure to understand.

You cannot install, ubuntu-device-tools on your computer, correct ?

Sailfish OS is linux distro. Ubuntu touch is not real linux! It lacks many apps, it's much slower then Sailfish OS, and can't run android apps like Sailfish OS does. Aliendalvik is available for ported devices too. I have it on my nexus 4 & 5. Everything works on Nexus 4 like on android. Nexus 5 with base CM12.1 has minor issues. camera does not work and sound does not work in some android apps.

Sailfish OS > Ubuntu touch.
[Nexus 4 General] slash.tux:
Thanks for the feedback. Ubuntu Touch doesn't intent to compete with other mobile operating system, just to gather bunch of people around the same interest.

Sailfish OS and UbuntuTouch has two different approachs of the mobile operating system. For sure Sailfish OS is more polished than Ubuntu Touch, however it is not fully opensource. Moreover it doens't provide the capability of convergence and a GPS navigation system like Unav, http://unav.me/.

Regarding Android app, there is no really rush to go there. The main objective right now is to bring the device with the right kernel to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to access to more feature and security updates.

The team already released a beta version of 16.04 Lts for 2-3 phones (fairphone, N5 and HTC10)

This operating system upgrade will bring the possibility to use Anbox on Ubuntu Touch : https://anbox.io/

If you want to follow the new app store and see the progress I invite you to look at the OpenStore app included in the Ubports Ubuntu Touch image.
