Note 8 Not Working With Kunlun E18

Hi,

I have the Note 8 as well as the Fiio Kunlun E18 and I'm having trouble getting it to work correctly. I am using a USB C OTG adapter with the micro usb cable that came with the Kunlun. When I plug into the Note 8 a USB options screen pops up in the notifications panel that gives you a few options, but if you try to select any of them it just reverts back to 'charge device'. It's strange because the other day after turning the Kunlun on and off a few times and then selecting MIDI Device in the notification panel options on the Note 8 I finally got it working. Now, I'm trying to listen to my music again today and it is not working for me no matter what I try. The USB Type-C to MicroUSB Female OTG Adapter I am using is from a company called meenova. I ordered it from Amazon. I'd like to add that when I connect the two devices together all the volume levels drop to mute, and if I try to slide the Media volume slider up it just goes right back down to mute. I can hear the audio from my Power Amp Player app temporarily as I do this. Any help would be appreciated. When it was working the other day I did not have Developer Options enabled in the Note 8. Do I need to do this and mess with some of the USB Audio routing options? Thanks.

Hi, all. I realize that this is an old post. I hope that it is ok to ask my queston. I bought an XDuoo Link DAC(USB-C), but can't get my Note 8 to recognize it. The USB configuration doesn't even allow for USB audio. Is there something else I can try?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] SoggyMcFries:
Any luck there? I've been trying to connect my N8 to xDuoo XD-05plus with an OTG cable that came with the dac/amp but with no success.

Hi all,

First time note user. i was wondering what are some good apps to install on the note 8. are there any apps specially designed for note 8 ?

Can you guys post the list of apps you use ?

Thanks for all the help!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] guthrien:
I have hundreds of apps on my phone, many of which take advantage of the size, camera etc.

But specifically for the SPen function:

You have to install the old Action Memo.

Myscript Nebo - the Play store will tell you it doesn't work on our device, so you'll need to download it from apk mirror or similar. The handwriting to letter conversion is second to none.

Finally, Squid is a 3rd party notebook app that is great, really nice design.

Those are my less known pen apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sixk:
Mind sharing the apk for my nebo and action notes since both of those are not in the playstore for us?:D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pete4k:
Sketchbook for Galaxy - you can get it from Galaxy Apps, s-note is the older version of samsung notes, but it has more functionality and I think we have a thread here how to get the best version, since it's not the newest one.

Most drawing/ sketching/painting programs will have much better functionality due to pointing precision of s-pen, but there are too many to list, but my kids love recolor from galaxy apps

He's right above, find the Action Memo topic for all the files and instructions!

Hello guys.

With the new wave of Android Oreo AOSP roms unfortunately we loose some cool sony stuffes. Currently i missing alot the native double tap to wake up. I need to press the pwer button to wake up the device.

Searching in the web I found some apps that make this effect, but seeing in the scream in a dark place i have noticed that the backlight is always on. This don't occurs at sony stock firmware.

Someone knows an app to bring back this feature like stock does?

Kind Regards,

Bruno Horvat
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] fastbooking:
It's impossible hence it breaks lots of service rn, so when stock Oreo will be out, all of that will be fixed
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] bruno$0:
you mean official aosp stock rom or official sony stock rom? The currently Oreo roms seams to use the beta code. I think that official Oreo version bring the cracker instead the octopus in easter egg. I don't wanna use the Sony rom. One day sony will stop support the XZ and the only alternative is use the custom roms. Thx for answer me.

[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tensux:
thanks i finally found a firmware that would flash. I had to use one of the oldest ones available. from there it appeared that somehow the unlock oem had been shut off during a flash, or was related to how far i had gone through setting up the google account after the initial setup before i tried to flash something additional
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kevkid:
Can anyone give me an explanation as to why? The more technical the better.

Some ideas: What is stopping us from intercepting an update and forcing the update to unlock the bootloader (sorry I know not really a technical idea).

If anyone can give me some resources or point me in the right direction to understand how the bootloader works.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Velaar.Felps:
Hi, for now I'm looking into a different but possible relevant issue of 80% charge after root. I can't really say how exactly BL is locked, but I can say where to look.

1. All the updates are signed. So far it is impossible to flash an unsigned update. So we can not modify it.

2. Samsung is publishing kernel sources but not boorloader sources. (At least not yet) so we can't 'hack' it (by hacking here I mean search for security vulnerabilities)

3. It seems Samsung is using EDKII firmware as a bootloader ( so the kernel is called from within the EFI directly )

4. I've been binwalking both kernel and abl.elf looking if they 'forgot' the debug symbols, but so far no luck.

p.s. you can find sources for G955U on samsung open source release center. The latest they have is G955USQU1AQD9.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kevkid:
Excellent, so I see that you stated the kernel is called directed by the EFI. Since we have root already could we be able to modify the kernel so when the EFI loads is we can modify the bootloader or overwrite it? This alludes to my second question. What is stopping us from overwriting the BL using a rooted firmware?

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MacTheRipperr:
I'm not sure if this has already been posted or not. But I just had a small chat with a Google rep and it's confirmed that both phones (not the Verizon version's) will have unlocked bootloaders. I'll just put it here since the pixel 2 doesn't have it's own forum yet.

Also I'm not sure is any of you are curious about the fast charging. But Google isn't doing us dirty like Apple is doing their folks. The fast charge wall adapter will be included in the box with the phone. So we will not have to buy extra hardware to fast charge our phones.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] stinger4321:
Cant read the convo.. seems compressed or thumbnail.. so your thinking the google store versions are all bootloader unlockable?.. i wouldnt buy the verizon version not sure why you would cause if you already have a verizon sim your good to go. And future updates could make the Verizon version unlockable like the orig verizon pixel
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MacTheRipperr:
I uploaded the original uncompressed screenshots. And she said that only the Verizon version's ain't have the unlocked bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Scottay5150:
So for clarification Verizon's BL will be locked at some point. Maybe out of the gate?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MacTheRipperr:
No, Verizon's BL will not be unlocked.

Wow.. read the convo.. DON'T GET THE VERIZON MODEL

[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] lucky_strike33:
You mean don't buy from Verizon or don't pick the Verizon model from Google store?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] flex360:
Also, the bootloader will be locked

You have to unlock it manually

So you're kinda wrong. The pixel 2 xl will have unlockable bootloader. It won't come unlocked
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MacTheRipperr:
Bro, do you really have ANYTHING constructive to say? Both posts on here are condescending. You know exactly what I was saying in this thread. You gotta be that one up guy? Go be a smart ass somewhere else bro. People like your are toxic. Go take your attitude and you're condescending news comments elsewhere.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] stinger4321:
Both Verizon versions you will be unable to unlock the bootloaders... So bootloaders permanently locked with any Verizon version....

If its like last time there was a SKU for the unlocked Playstore version and a different SKU for the Verizon sim card version.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] flex360:
What I said was actually more constructive and accurate than your OP. You were wrong and I corrected you. Plain and simple. And I don't know what you were trying to say.

The phone coming with an unlocked bootloader and having an unlockable bootloader are two different things. Don't get offended when someone corrects you, this is not grade school.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] con4n007:
Well perhaps people with verizon pixel 2 can try to turn on first time without verizon sim and maybe the unlock button is not greyed out.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
That didn't work on the Pixel 1 so no reason to think it will here. There is only one way to unlock the bl if you want. Buy the Google version.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] -Michael_:
Damn, So I ordered the Verizon versions, launch day.

If I'd have ordered the unlocked version, any issues with it working on Verizon?

Thinking about calling them and switching..
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] -Michael_:
I called Google, to change my pixel orders to the pay store unlocked version.

Was told that the Verizon version they sell is only with a Verizon sim, and some Verizon apps, but with an unlockable bootloader. Varying from the version you'd buy directly from Verizon that has a locked BL. And assured "only pixels sold from Verizon directly" will have encrypted bootloader.

Called twice, same response..

Told them I accidently ordered the Verizon sim version, and that I was a t-mobile customer. And that I needed an unlocked version for development purposes.

What are the chances I was fed a line of BS? Never dealt directly with Google.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] stinger4321:
Interesting.. someone else shared a chat with google saying that you could not unlock the verzion version bootloader from the playstore...hmm.. well i guess there is a 10 day return policy.. we will find out once these phones begin shipping
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sd_shadow:
The customer service representative was likely correct, but they only know what they are told.

99% of them have never even considered unlocking the bootloader, or even really know what that means.

Edit:

21 Oct 2017

Verizon model direct from Google cannot be bootloader unlocked.

See https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74271638&postcount=86
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MacTheRipperr:
That's an excellent question. I mean, does it make sense that they would sell the "Verizon" version with Verizon bloat on it and not have Verizon's deal with their encrypted bootloader? On the other hand, maybe Google wants as many people to but through them directly and if they do then the bonus is the unlockable bootloader. So many questions. To be honest, I would try to get it changed to the carrier free version with no Verizon ties. That's just my opinion.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
That is a very good question, but I do believe they are telling the truth. Google didn't sell the Verizon version last time around afaik, so this is new. I would think the only difference is the sim and programs installed. I'm not sure but certainly curious to know. I'm also not sure why they are doing this. Why would you buy a VZW model from Google in the first place? Why not go directly to Verizon? Maybe they are trying to be sure distribution isn't messed up like last time. If Verizon sells out you can get it from us, finance it through us, return it to us if it messes up.

edit: Ninja'd by 2 minutes.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sd_shadow:
I ordered my Pixel 1 from Verizon, but I took the sim out before I booted it up first time.

There were no Verizon apps installed, and several others reported the same.

Seems the the Verizon bloatware is installed only if a Verizon sim is installed during first boot.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] -Michael_:
Agreed guys,

And based off both Reps, it'll just have a Verizon SIM, and some of their apps. If I was lied too, just going to return them and reorder unlocked models.

I would have done that today, but it would move my ship date out to end of November, instead of Oct-14. As the only way was to cancel this order, then RE order the different model, loosing my place in line - Lol meh.

I'm second guessing the hell out of this because it seems odd to me they would offer a Verizon variant, when Verizon is going to be the exclusive carrier. When I ordered these launch day, Verizon was not officially selling them yet.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] weaver11b:
So glad I pre-ordered the non-verizon (verizon customer here) version of the pixel 2 xl on launch day. I read reports of the OG pixel being able to unlock bootloader if it was a non-verizon or an RMA prior to putting in the SIM card. Hope this is still the case for pixel 2. Very excited to get it in my hands!
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsuraDas:
Honestly if the kinda blue was in stock I would have ordered. I only care about flashing ROMs for updates. Since this will be getting 3 years of platform updates. I went with unlocked because I probably will get the itch to flash a rom or root in the feature.

I hate they reserved the kinda blue for VZW
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexjzim:
It looks like the Verizon model sold in the Google store is the same model that can be purchased from Best Buy or Verizon retail.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] trimax84:
And then there's this to add to the confusion....

(I'm a little skeptical that this is the correct answer)
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
There's no confusion. The rep had no idea what you were talking about. You can delete that chat and forget it ever happened.

Now you can take this with a grain of salt. I believe there will be 2 versions of the VZW model. One sold by Google that comes with a vzw sim and some removable programs that might or might not help you if you were a Verizon customer. You can unlock the bootloader on that one. And, of course, the pure Google model which is exactly the same thing without the vzw sim in it but we all know that already.

Then there is the Verizon model bought at a VZW store. That one will be bootloader locked. But you can get financing on a monthly basis for 2 years on your vzw bill without going through a third party credit check and.. here's the biggie.. on black Friday you will be able to buy the Verizon store bought Pixel 2 / XL for perhaps $10 / month and $15 / month respectively x 2 years with a credit on a monthly basis. So you are locked in to vzw for 2 years if you want the discount since it's a monthly credit on your bill. On the Saturday after BF you can get the same deal but you will need to trade in another qualifying device which might or might not be similar to what they are doing now. I think it will be at least another $100 off the current promotion.

Now I'm basing this on last years Pixel / XL Verizon promotion. Google never gave a nickle off on BF. But if I'm correct then on BF you will be able to get a better deal than you can now with no trade in. Only problem is that you will wind up with a locked bootloader, which (full disclosure) I currently have now. Yes, I will have paid $240 for a brand new Pixel after I pay if off on BF next year. And I have not once thought about rooting the device or unlocking. Well I have thought about it because I've always rooted but probably would not have done it since I use AP and like the security of being unrooted.

Anyway this could all be a load of crap, flame on. But I do believe the bottom line is if you want to bl unlock buy from Google, trade in if you have a device and be done with it. If you buy from Verizon (not the Google VZW model) expect to be bl locked and don't complain about it with bounties and rants.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] trimax84:
$80 bounty for unlocked BL ;)
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sd_shadow:
Bounty didn't work for the Pixel 1

Not likely to work for Pixel 2

When an unlocked version is available
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
Totally agree. That's why JCase didn't even bother imo. Why get into a spitting match with Verizon or Google over something that was easily avoided from the get go. Even with temp root they probably would have closed it with an update.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sd_shadow:
Justin Case released Depixel long before any talk of a bounty, and said it was a one time thing.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brian706:
Alyssa clearly stated in that chat that the Verizon version will not be unlocked. She said: "That it will, unless you buy the Verizon version."

But as others have said, why even risk it at all? If you want root, buy the unlocked version. Verizon will lock it down like they always do.

You should probably update your op though... Somebody will read that and think the Verizon version is unlocked. And they will surely be disappointed.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MacTheRipperr:
Must have had a typo in there I missed. Thanks for fixing it for me. ?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DivijKaura:
Does this mean like we can root our Pixel 2 and still have hardware warranty? I have never owned an Google Pixel so kinda confused about rooting pixel and warranty or getting back warranty after rooting pixel devices.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brian706:
Yes you will still have warranty. Just to confirm that this is true with the Pixel 2, I just had a chat with a Google Rep before replying to your question. He confirmed that unless you permanently brick the device (which is nearly impossible), rooting is no problem and will not affect the warranty. Basically, you have to be able to flash the most current factory image before sending in.

Edit to add: This applies if you buy directly from Google. If you purchase through a carrier, they may have a different answer in regards to rooting.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DivijKaura:
Is reverting back to stock in Google Pixel devices easy? Like just download the firmware and flash with some tool like we flash stock with odin in Samsung and are the firmwares easily available or its difficult to get the firmware or its difficult to revert back to stock? I am thinking of Pixel 2 but i have no knowledge about Google Pixel, had samsung s8 and rooted but they dont provide warranty lol.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brian706:
Yes it is very easy. You just have to install the tools on your computer and download the firmware. Then you run a script and it will install the firmware. All information can be found here: https://developers.google.com/android/images

Every release gets posted per device, and they also offer OTA images now too. Those are nice because it makes upgrading while rooted super easy.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] fix-this!:
dont buy anything verizon if you want a unlockable bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsuraDas:
That's a pretty solid warranty although not perfect. If for instance there is a bootloop caused from hardware such as the 5x/6p then you may not be able to fortunately.

Still miles ahead better than other OEM's
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DivijKaura:
Thanks for the helpful information. Will look forward more into Pixel 2. The design isnt pleasing this time in my opinion
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brian706:
It's definitely not my favorite looking phone but it's not horrible. And if you are planning on putting a case on the phone, it doesn't really matter anyway.
