Hello, decided to do a general intro because I was trying to ask a developmental question but needed to post more. Even though I'm almost certain this thread won't warrant any great response, I do hope I nail this introduction. I am Makeshift. Nice to (theoretically) make your collective acquaintances. I am like, what I assume is most, people nowadays computer literate. Maybe a tiny bit more than average. I'm unsure but I would hate to assume. I am hip to proxies, VPN, Tor, torrents, rooting and bits of modding android a bit and various other bits and pieces of technological know how. But, I have become unsatisfied with the degree of knowledge I currently possess. As childish, idealistic and naive as it might seem; I wish to improve humanity and the world for the better. I feel that technology, computer science, programming, etc. will be a portion of realizing that desire. Forgive my ignorance but any help, points in the right directions, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Also, please forgive my lack of social skills.

Somehow an installation file became named PocketPuTTY_WM2k3_release_?007-02-28.zip I don't know how the question mark got there, but now it won't let me delete it. What do I do? Won't let me rename it, either. Total Commander doesn't work either.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wassup:
Sounds like it is corrupt. Have you tried a soft reset?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] endolith:
If you mean holding down the power button and restarting it, then yes.

When I try to rename it to remove the question mark, it says "A file name cannot contain any of the following characters: \/:*?"<>|"
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] endolith:
Can anyone help me with this? The file is named PocketPuTTY_WM2k3_release_?007-02-28.zip
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dav3ywrx:
Hi endolith,

Is the file on the device or on the memory card, if it's on the memory card then copy everything onto your PC and format the card then copy it all back.

Just a thought. :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] endolith:
Yeah it's on the device. I downloaded a thing that turns the device memory into a USB storage device, and I can access it in Linux and see the bytes, but can't mount it as a drive. I think it's not formatted with a normal file system.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dav3ywrx:
That's a good idea to use WM5torage to try and delete it.

You could try deleting it with Total Commander for Pocket PC but if that fails it may be hard reset time. Perhaps that would be the best thing anyway as I had a problem similar to this on the MiniSD card and never trusted it again until I formatted it but it seems like a drastic measure just to remove one file.

Good luck.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] endolith:
Tried that too. I wonder if there's another file manager that can do lower-level things.

Maybe I can use WM5torage read/write and use a byte editor? :) Or maybe there's a low-level memory editor available for WM5.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dav3ywrx:
Yes, indeed, if you can find something that will alter the file allocation table then perhaps you could replace the dodgy character in the file name, leave the hard reset as a last resort.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] _Alex_:
Use a MiniSD card reader or WM5Storage and use the MSDOS commandline interface to delete the file by using wildcards.

e.g., from start/run/cmd.exe

z: (or whatever drive your SD card is in)

cd "\directory name\with quotations\if you use spaces"

del PocketPutty*.zip
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] endolith:
WM5torage doesn't seem to be able to turn the main memory into a drive, though. It creates 3 partitions, but none of them seem to be mountable.

As I am trying to build a rom for the xperia x, I can,t find a solution to a ninja error:

Thanks for the reply, saw that post too but it didn't solve the error.

I solved it using "make update-api && make -j4"

But this gave me also other errors later, the weird thing is that this only happened with the ResurrectionRemix source, since I started working on LOS there are no such errors.

But thanks anyway:good: :)

hi all

I have opo but volume buttons are dead and i flashed magsik 14 and took into bootloop :(

I connected my phone to pc to try to get adb to work but the bootloop is fast so doesn't connect to the computer.

is there any other way to get to recovery?
[General Questions and Answers] TheFixItMan:
nope - far as I know only button presses or adb commands can get a phone into recovery

as soon as the phone gets past the splash screen you should have adb even if it bootloops - just try sending the command to reboot to recovery

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tomplatz:
Tested back to back with my wife's V20 using the included AKG earbuds using a high fidelity flac file of the Allman Brothers song Old Friend, which is two acoustic guitars with strong vocals. Night and day, there was far more detail and less hiss using the V20. Tested also with hih quality flac files of Metallica and Andrea Bocelli. Same. Far more detail.

Used Poweramp Alpha with high fidelity output enabled. Nothing scientific, just back to hack.

I mostly like the Note 8 otherwise, but for sound quality alone I think I'll return for the V30 when it comes out. Haven't Used the S Pen hardly at all, which surprised me. For me, audio quality is important.

Just one man''s opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bselesnew:
So what was your purpose of buying a Note then if you had no intention of using the pen? Seems you bought it for all the wrong reasons and decided to post here to get others to sway away from the Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tomplatz:
Just information others might find useful sir. Not trying to sway anyone in any direction.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] leyvatron:
You are comparing a phone that was made for quality audio to a phone that wasn't.

Now, LG V20 stylus is inferior compared to the Notes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeblade:
"audio quality is important"... what the Note 8 could do was known before you ordered it. Sorry but all one had to do is search and then look at the history of Galaxy phones in regards to sound. For me the word 'NOTE" says it all. Now.. again for ME... MUSIC? Yeah.. not going with any phone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jason504:
After my Note 7 Fiasco I got the LG v20. The sound was good on it. But I don't listen to anything on my phones anyway. The phone it's self was ok at best. The LG v30 will be the same. Lg is incapable of making a phone with the build quality like the Note. I can tell by looking at the v30 that it is going to feel cheap.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Charliebill33:
Opinions are always welcome but your opinion is of the "duh really" variety. If you want the best sound get a V10, V20, or V30 when it arrives. For that matter I'll trade you my U11 straight up, if music is that important to you.

Enjoy your Note8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
Agreed, I got the LG V20 and regretted it quickly. Loved the audio, but not much else.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tomplatz:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jamaloogy:
When I first receive my Note 8. I was despised with how it sounds.

I think you want to make your own adapt sound setting first. only then it sounds good. really good.

Listen with Tidal and Neuron. boy. it sounds so good!!

Adapt sound on note 8 is much more better than adapt sound on my last note 3
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] intruda119:
Yeah amhave to agree with everyone else. If audio is important, LG V10/30 is for you.

Comparing quad dacs to what Samsung offers is not an even match.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ruffruff:
If audio is important, i would advise you to get a separate audio device. I have note 8 as my daily driver for work, personal and games. I own a DP-CM1X for audio with 2.5mm balanced cable to my im03.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jah:
I have the Note FE, Note 8 and LG V20.

Note 8 is much better than the Note FE but no way as good as the V20 when you use 24 bit music (Lossless). But I believe most consumers use streaming services which use high but rate MP3s so most so consumers would be happy with the Note 8. I am not which is why I use a dedicated Sony NW ZX300 DAP.

Oreo brings LDAC support, you can review the S8 Oreo change log.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jamaloogy:
At first, I was dissapointed on how Note 8 sounds direct from earphone, same when I plug in my Sony XBA H3, sounds not that great, congested at times.

But

It change when I take my time to personalize my adapt sounds. Notes open up. sound is spacious. Bass does not leak into highs anymore.

Coming from Note 3, Adapt sound on my note 3 is not as obvious as note 8

When I compare with my sister's HTC U11, sound about the same.

Things to emphasize here is;

1) Note 8 not gonna power up power hungry headphones. it is good for low impedance earphones

2) MUST PERSONALIZE YOUR OWN ADAPT SOUND. THE DIFFERENCE IS LIKE DAY AND NIGHT. at least to me
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] reaktor TuT:
I must agree with OP. The headphone output on this phone is an absolute disgrace after my LG V20.

Output levels are low. Cannot drive even average quality headphones.

The last 3 steps of my volume buttons do nothing because the audio driver chip is limiting the level. The volume actually goes DOWN when I am turning it up.

If I turn up any frequency in my EQ the audio level overall goes down because the audio driver chip cannot drive the increase in level of any frequency, so it turns the whole output level down.

Audio quality is distorted overall, especially tracks with bass. The same tracks on my V20 punch hard, on the Note 8 the bass just collapses and farts and distorts. Heavy bass notes almost disappear.

So I purchased a pair of Sony WH-1000XM2 bluetooth headphones to help with my audio woes, only to find that Samsung has not included the APTX HD audio codec, so even bluetooth audio is poorer quality than most other phones. Lower than CD quality. The LDAC Codec is also missing completely. I asked Samsung help about this and they said that the Note 8 is INCOMPATIBLE with high quality Bluetooth headphones.

A complete and utter audio failure this phone is...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jah:
I have a Note 8, LG V20 and the Sony WH1000X M2s. I totally agree with you. I was hoping, however, that under Android O, Smasung may include LDAC for the Exynos phones. For the Qualcomm Note 8s you'd expect Samsung to add APTX HD.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryya:
You can enable APTX HD codecs on Oreo although LDAC is present, if you have an S8/+ (the wife has a S8+ with Oreo installed) there's even codec options for Bluetooth under developer settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dondavis007:
Use a couple of good headphones. The included is crap.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kaleidgalaxy:
I agree that you should first personalize your own adapt sound. This is essential. Then your note8 will be quite impressive. I have exynos version and must say that with my Focal Listen I enjoy listening spotify very much. It's loud and clear. Sad that on Tidal volume is much lower... so I stayed with Spotify
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] AllTheWay:
That's probably the LG V20 and V30 had quad DACs to just process audio quality through the headphones jack.

Hi,

I have been facing a strange issue. Everyday at an unpredictable time i am not able to make or receive calls and text, unable to use internet, then once I restart everything works as normal until the next time when all calls, messages and internet stops working. I am forced to restart the phone at least once a day and sometimes even twice a day. I have tried formatting the phone but that doesn't help. I am on the latest stock nougat firmware with august security patch level. I have a G920FD.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] dilness:
Alright, so I've owned a Note device since the 3rd iteration. And in all this time I don't recall seeing option that stops the smart select S-Pen feature from grabbing the text from the selected area and pasting it into the text field of wherever I'm sending the image of said text. In other words, I end up sending a MMS of an image containing text plus basically a caption that repeats all of the same text, which seems redundant. And usually the only ways around this is either delete all of the newly generated text then send the image (easy but annoying) or save the Smart Select image in your gallery and then send that after the fact (also easy but also annoying).

I've never thought it was a big deal before, but I've found myself using Smart Select more often and was wondering if theres a way to turn that text generation off by default (without the use of root preferably, trying to see how long i can go without rooting this time around.)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SiNJiN76:
Yup. Same problem here...annoying. Fastest way to delete the text I found is to use the S-Pen to select the text like using a mouse. I think there was an option on the Note 4 before it got updated to 6.0...not sure, it's been awhile.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] PsiPhiDan:
This happened on the Note 7 - I remember that annoying me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bosshog187:
Here is an easy fix. Hit smart select and crop the image you want to send. Next tap the draw button INSTEAD of the share button. After you click draw button hit the SEND button at the bottom.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbsc:
My old Woot gtablet battery decided to fail. I had it stored, grabbed it on a whim and noticed the casing was getting pushed out. Turns out half of the battery pack had expanded considerably. Luckily nothing catastrophic happened, no fires or leakage.

The problem now is I have a tablet with no power. I can't find the battery anywhere. What I'm asking for here is either a source for a new battery pack, or hoping some battery guru spots this and could get me started with rebuilding the original pack... I have no experience rebuilding one.

I really don't want to trash it just because of a battery.

Edit: read more about lipo outgassing, now I'm afraid to rupture it. Rebuilding is a non starter.

Edit 2: if anyone knows the battery pinout that would be helpful too. Building an entirely new battery pack might be the only solution here. I know it's 7.4v, two li-po cells, but that's all I know. I retained the original plug and most of the wire on it.

Edit 3: found the charging controller board but I can't seem to find a supplier of bare cells - all I can find are attached to a controller already.

I accidentally selected the phone storage for the location to search for sounds before I changed to settings to always ask and even though I hit cancel at the time I'm stuck with this selection. I made the choice in the Android messages app and tried settings>apps>messages>clear defaults but it didn't change and now I noticed that it's my only choice for other notification sound in other apps too! What am I missing? How do I get it to let me pick the path every time now?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SteelPicori:
I use Google's messages so I never saw anything that let me choose (also unrooted), but any sounds placed in to notifications folder on the root of the phone and sdcard can be choosen. Just note that it would use the meta tag info, if there are none then it just shows up on list as an entry called 'sound' (possible to have multiple sound entry)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SiNJiN76:
Hmmm... Android message? or the Built in message? Anyway, you could try installing Zedge (ringtones app) and then from within the app try to change the sound. Maybe it will prompt you to reselect the location?

Both apps actually, all notification sounds go to the stick sounds. I can set a sound from Zedge but not to a specific contact or app. I'm looking to get the options back when I click on notification sound in an app.
