[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] norris.reber:
just what I read

The new Low Band system.

"A T-Mobile spokesperson has confirmed that the Galaxy Note 8 will not be compatible with LTE Band 71, the new 600MHz frequency that T-Mobile turned on last week."

So far the article says there isn't any phone on the market right now that will work on this new system. Some new phones are supposed to be out possibly at the end of 2017 the article says. We will see. Some people can't afford another +/- 1000$.

The Note8 is still the best phone I have had, and in some spots I get upwards of 70Mbps download. I am still satisfied with my Note8, but I might look at the next one. I will have to see if the next one will be worth buying to use mainly overseas. I use my phone for work, sometimes I take photos of loaded containers we load and email them to my work email. Attaching the photos is MUCH quicker than my Note4 was, and even faster than the S7 Edge I was "forced" ;) to take in trade for the Note7 I turned in.

These articles I must say were from last August, I've read a little that there are some that might be out now. But from what I read the Note8 isn't one of them. :(

heheeh I guess this xda-developers won't let me post the links to the sites I read from, I did the search "will the note8 work on Tmobile's new system?"

There were 2 articles from "bgr dot com" that I read from. "Qualcomm confirms no existing smartphones will support T-Mobile's ..." and "T-Mobile customers: Don't buy a Galaxy Note 8 – BGR"

I still love my Note8 :) :good:

That was know when the devices was announced. There are only 2 devices coming out this year that support it. The V30 and some mid-range Samsung devices.

that is great, I didn't realize it until I was searching. Have a great day ;)

I posted my reply about talking to T-Mo to let others know that they (TMobile) wasn't aware there was a problem with unlocking the Note8. The customer service rep had no idea and their managers didn't either. I argued with them and let them know that Samsung told me they couldn't unlock it because it is TMobile's software and they couldn't do it. Through looking at forums and doing a little research the rep saw that what I was telling her was correct and then they were able to escalate it and get it resolved. My Note8 was bought from Samsung, and it has been on their system for over 40 days and hopefully now from talking to them my phone will be unlocked by Thursday.

The other subject, the LTE-Band 71 system is another topic hehe. I didn't realize my Note8 wouldn't be able to be used on their new system. That is OK. The Note8 is a great phone, I am still very happy with it.

I hope others after me will not have the problems getting theirs unlocked.

Just used Twitter to get my second note 8 unlocked via T Mobile help .

This time, after waiting a week nothing occured. Had to reach out to them again to start the process. So , out of my two Note 8 unlocking via T Mobile Twitter help, one worked smoothly one not. Its all to do with the person on the other end i believe.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Or you can do it for free by contacting T-Mobile through Twitter.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] airibis:
The 2x button is not actually switching cameras, it is just preforming a digital zoom on the wide camera.

I placed a piece of electrical tape over the long range lens, in 1x I can see clearly, in 2x I can see clearly (but digitally zoomed in)

Only in Live Focus is the camera blocked by the electrical tape.

So my question is, is Live Focus the only way to use the second camera?

Seems like a waste of a second camera. This is not how it was handled on other dual camera phones, what gives Samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] WorldIRC:
https://www.slashgear.com/note-8-camera-5-things-you-need-to-know-23496299/

And as per Slashgear: Instead, just as we’ve seen on the iPhone 7 Plus, Samsung

mixes together the data from the wide-angle and telephoto lenses

on the Note 8 to give the effect of a zoom. The result is the equivalent of 2x optical zoom, completely lossless, as well as a 10x digital zoom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rjohnstone:
Going from 1x to 2x is an optical zoom on the wide angel camera, not digital. Beyond 2x is digital zoom.

Nowhere did Samsung claim that going from 1x to 2x was done by switching cameras.

The Cnet reviewer is mistaken on the 1x to 2x camera switching.

As stated above, the test is pretty simple to figure out which lens is being used.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] atunguyd:
Hi can anyone help me? I told Google assistant to play some music on my new note 8 and it asked which music player I wanted to use. I selected Samsung music but that doesn't automatically play the artist I chose. Now Google assistant always uses Samsung play for music. How do it tell if to select a new music player?

I reset the phone default apps but all that achieved was that I needed to allow permissions all over again for all my other apps and assistant did not change anything.

Hi,

Picked up my orbit 2 recently as an upgrade to the original Orbit, just looking at the two of them now and was just wondering if I was the only one who thought that the brighter Orbit 2 has a worse viewing angle compared to the orbit.

The screen looks too bright as in the blacks look blacker on my old orbit, its only if you hold the phone at a certain angle do the blacks look black on the orbit 2. Is it just me or has it got something to do with having a flush screen?
[Touch Cruise General] underzone:
Yeah the viewing angles are deffo worse than the Artemis. Shame isn't it... :(
[Touch Cruise General] DMAND:
Too bad I was hoping maybe it was just mine lol, I really love the look of the orbit 2 with its flush screen guess I'll have to put up with having to hold it slightly differently :p
[Touch Cruise General] DMAND:
Is this because the Orbit 2 has a transflective screen you reckon?
[Touch Cruise General] wywywywy:
Didn't the original Orbit have a transflective screen as well?

Anyway, I put my Orbit 2 next to my Hermes (both have transflective), and the Orbit 2 is definitely worse.

I reckon it is due to the use of 3M DBEF polariser and LED back lights.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiffiter:
Hi all,

I grabbed the latest factory build from here <https://developers.google.com/android/images#angler> and the latest TWRP recovery from here <https://dl.twrp.me/angler/>

I then proceeded to boot into recovery, formatted my entire system (including userdata), flashed the latest recovery, copied over the 8.0.0 build and the latest GAAPS, and then attempted to flash the factory image.

Unfortunately, this is where I've now gotten stuck. TWRP replies with my flash command with "invalid zip file format" and refuses to install.

I've attempted to go back to an old recovery and re-install build N4F26J, which also gets "invalid zip file format".

I also have a full TWRP backup from build N4F26J with 3 variations: Boot-System-Data, Boot-System-SysImage-Data, and Boot-System-SysImage-Vendor-Data-Cache-Recovery, but all 3 of them result in a frozen boot animation.

tl;dr: Anyone have an idea of what I can do to get a working factory image back onto my phone? Currently am stuck with a bootlooping backup image and a zip error warning when installing a new image (regardless of image version).

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
You don't flash a factory image in TWRP. Unzip the file and flash the individual images: boot, system, and vendor. Try that method or use ADB sideload to install the full OTA image. Full OTA images can be downloaded from the same site.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grushteniak:
I'm assuming you have ADB / fastboot in place (if not, google it): unzip your factory image to a given folder. Navigate to this folder using prompt / terminal. Turn on your phone with vol down pressed and leave it at that screen. Plug it onto your computer and type fastboot devices - you should see a line with a bunch of numbers. If Windows, run flash-all.bat. If Mac / Linux, run flash-all.sh. Your phone should get back to life in a few, sit back and relax.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizardwiz:
As already mentioned, you can't flash factory images via TWRP.

Get ADB and use the flash-all.bat that comes with the factory image to clean install your OS.

Just go to bootloader mode and run the file.

Bear in mind it will WIPE all your device.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultyrunner:
Actually that's partially incorrect. You have to flash bootloader and radio via fastboot. You can flash boot, system and vendor with TWRP (choosing img option) and, provided you root before booting, you can preserve the custom recovery.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizardwiz:
Flashing factory images using flash-all.bat (or .sh) will flash ALL OS including modem, bootloader and everything else.

He can't use this method if his bootloader is locked.

I wasn't talking about using a manual fastboot option to flash an indevidual image.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultyrunner:
In his original post he doesn't say anything about having a locked BL. As well, if he's stuck the way he is then perhaps you should have given him better information. It'd give him far more control if you directed him to the unlock/root/flash guide, which gives him more options (and more control via flashing individual partitions via fastboot) at https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizardwiz:
We're not in a contest, buddy. Just trying to help that guy.

He can simply choose the best option for him to get his device up and running.

If he is familiar with fastboot image flashing then by all do means he can use your method.

He is stuck with no OS installed and using flash-all.bat file is the easiest way to get his device boot properly.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultyrunner:
No we're not in competition. My point was you gave him one option with the least control and not remotely the best option to get his device up and running, particularly making an assumption he has a locked bootloader, when you never asked. If he is able to use a command line to run a flash command, then pointing him to the guide is the best bet. If something goes wrong with flash-all scripts then he's probably going to be really lost.

Is the only way to gain root on Marshmallow/Nougat or whatever is by reverting to Lollipop, gaining root access, installing TWRP, and then flashing LineageOS/some ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] nankink:
My device was having some issues (apps freezing and restarting by itself) and one of the temporary solutions was clearing the cache.

Entered in the recovery (stock also) and deleted cache as normal. but my hand slipped and selected an option which i have no idea and somehow deleted my misc partition.

Tried reflashing it as some said but it doesnt restore the partition.

And now those issues won't stop and it makes my device unusable.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] CZBaterka:
Hi,

I am very new to Systemless root and it seems littlebit confusing for me.

I have few problems. I am using Magisk Systemless ROOT on my 1+5 with Android 7.1.1

I already know that because of non-editable /system i can't delete or upgrade system apps. But my bigger problem is for example with F***dom app. I know that warez is not supported here so I am asking only for educational purposes (or whatever). F***dom not working at all. My pay card still showing (Fallout Shelter, Fruit Ninja, etc.). Even L***y Pat***r not work well. I am still getting errors when trying to patch Fallout or any other apps. One of the least problem is with busybox. Why I cant install busybox to /system/bin but to /system/xbin yes?

Is there any way how to make system root work like nornal root? I really want use my old apps. Not just Freedom, but for example Titanium Backup not working too.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jhs39:
Titanium Backup definitely works with systemless root. When you go into the Magisk Manager app does it actually show that you are rooted? When you click on the Safety Net check in Magisk Manager what message do you get?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Rhoban:
I am using Magisk systemless root and it works.

So you're probably not rooted at all. And I did not even had to install busybox either.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] CZBaterka:
I am rooted. Safety Net is ok when Hide Root setting is selected in Magisk. Apps normally get root access but as I said some of them not work properly. Busybox throw error when installing to /system/bin

Titanium Backup not recover system apps or data.

And what about freedom?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jhs39:
There's actually a dedicated support thread on XDA for Magisk. Since your issue seems to be very Magisk specific rather than a OP5 issue you would probably have more success posting your question there.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Just a reminder to all. No mentions of lucky patcher or freedom are allowed in the forums as they are warez/malware apps.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
That app is also banned on xda as are all Warez apps.

I highly recommend you delete this post and go somewhere else before more aggressive devs start waking up

XDA's tag line is "XDA Developers was founded by developers, for developers. " and you come in here waving your middle finger around saying developers' time and energy is worthless and your deserve it all for fee, and your entitled ass comes here

asking for more help exploiting devs.

Help specific to LP, Freedom, and all other exploitive apps is forbidden here. #GoAway

And all that aside, your question has been asked 1000x by legit users. Spending even 10-15 seconds researching the problem would yield a result. #LMGTFY

The phone i was using on t-mobile broke today and I need to get my sprint s7 working for the t-mobile network if it all possible. What would be the best way to get this phone working a different network?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] avspin:
So I have an unlocked note 8 from samsung that i'm using on Verizon. Had it about a week and just noticed that I have not received any notifications of missed calls or if I have a voice mail message. I'm not talking about visual voice mail, just plain old basic voicemail. There should be a notification along the top that I have a voice mail. I called *86 and I had a bunch of messages but never received a notification.

Is there a setting I missed? I can't find anything for these.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] odesskiy:
You have two options:

One, go to the website, log in, under Products and Services find Blocks, go to Service Blocks and block off visual voice mail and premium visual voicemail. You'll have basic voice mail only and the notifications should start coming to your phone.

Two, forward unanswered calls to Google Voice. You get a great Google app and you get transcribed voice mails, a feature that Verizon charges $2.99 for in "premium" visual voice mail.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] avspin:
Thanks. I called verizon to see if that was it. I asked that specifically and they said they couldn't turn it off visual voice mail. She turned of an ims setting (I don't know which one) and now I have notification back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] seret:
Interesting. I just called Verizon and they said because I have an unlocked phone that I also bought from Best Buy the phone didn't come with the Verizon software on it and I won't be able to get any vm notifications as a result.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jgravs1107:
​

You have to login to your MyVerizon and disable both visual voicemail and premium visual voicemail . Just like odesskiy said and then it will go old school and send you a msg with the little logo that you have voicemail. Worked perfectly!!! Glad I went unlocked.

Can someone help me and I am on Sprint and tried calling them no help. Just got an unlocked Note 8 and in my notifications window it says 4 new VM dial *86 and it won't let me get rid of it will not go away. I am using You Mail and have never used Sprints VM but I am thinking when I restored my phone from the backup maybe it downloaded something but I don't see any voicemail app I see the voicemail icon up top in the corner and when I pull down my notifications I see this 4 new voicemails dial *86 and I can swipe it to get to a setting which is just about hiding or blocking phone notification and then I see the phone icon. I've gone under apps and advance apps I was at some screen where I saw the *86 in there forgot how I got there but even still I can't get this notification to go away. Samsung had me do a few things also. I don't want to have to reset my phone just for that. But I googled my question and it took me here. I never used Sprint's VVM but do I still need Sprint to block it it's not on my phone unlocked phones don't have it unless I have regular VM somewhere but I can't find it to make this go away from my notification screen. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Note 8 user:
It didn't work for me.

I blocked the " visual voicemail" then when I blocked the "premium visual voicemail" it automatically unblocked the "visual voicemail". So, I tried to block the visual voicemail again and it unblocked the premium visual voicemail. Seems only one can be blocked at a time--in my instance anyway. I didn't get any messages.

Same for me on my note 8 . Just switched from Verizon to Sprint because they had 5 lines unlimited for 100 bucks and 10gig each phone hotspot. Can find regular voicemail icon to put a shortcut on my phone? Been on Sprint tech support but don't see how on this unlocked note 8..still love the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Pdt1786:
Hi, I have the same issue on my unlocked note 8 regarding voicemail notification. I just spoke to a Verizon agent, had her block my premium visual voice mail, call me on another line to leave a voice mail and finally got a notification that I have a missed call and a new voice mail. I hope this helps as a Real Estate agent not having voice mail notification is bad news! I'm beyond grateful to see that notification again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] phlythe:
I have an unlocked Note8 and Verizon. Been missing my voicemail notifications and can't install the verizon voicemail app... with instructions above, I called Verizon Support and asked them to turn off the Visual Voicemail feature I've been paying for the last 10 years because I had a new unlocked phone that doesn't support it... not branded Verizon phone... So, support said they turned the feature off, and to reboot my phone. I rebooted, then got a text saying that Touch ID has been enabled for my phone, then from another phone, I called myself and left a message. I got a notification! And, the notification came with a link to click and install a their voicemail app, the blue one with the recorder icon... not the red one. It does everything I want, shows caller ID, or phone number, and click to play messages... easy delete. Perfect!
