Is anyone ever goona look at this in the future or is it hopeless? Because I do understand that root is available but even that is unstable.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] Deleted member 6722106:
for now its hopeless. samsung really pissed me off by patching the root method not even a month after it was made. sure performance was improved slightly but patching the bootloader is just too much. is having an unlock method too much to ask?
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] swift5645:
Really surprised me with Samsung to about this. They're normally pretty nice with OEM unlock and etc. Unfortunately this is just a phone they've licked down. They're Galaxy Note series all have root. So it really makes no sense to me why this one is so closed off.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) Questions & Answers] swift5645:
I just received an update?! Not quite sure what it is but this could bring some hope for people who updated to the revision 2 already and maybe that it is possible to root it. Easier said than done obviously but I really hope a root developer is reading this. Please someone form another root method for this phone its such a great one it deserves its place in the root family of devices

[General Topics] MrSmith22:
This really is a strange problem. I remember a ROM that didn't let me receive any SMS either, what I did was try another ROM and it worked. You've mentioned you've done this so I have no other suggestion apart from maybe going back to the original ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] andypa1:
Hi ,

I've been really enjoying all aspects of the phone apart from battery life until today.

I was in the sea taking underwater videos (having done the same all week, just below the surface not deep) on holiday and then the phone gave the 'you have left your s-pen behind message'.

Dried the phone off and tested it, the s-pen didn't work at all, no reaction on the screen at all. The problem has the following symptoms:

- If I restart the device with the S-Pen in, it then detects when it's removed. I can interact with the screen but the options such as magnifier have gone weird, i.e. they flicker on very quickly when you're closer than normal to the screen.

- I can't click the little floating circle with the pen, tapping it or pressing the button does nothing.

-returning the pen to the device does nothing, it's as if it's still removed.

Please help, I was really considering selling the device and I really don't want the hassle of having to post it off to Samsung knowing that they will likely be difficult and blame me.

I'd be grateful for any help you can give.

Thanks,

Andrew
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SteelPicori:
First thing is to check the s-pen is good, if you have access to and old note or galaxy tab s3 see if the stylus works (otherwise pop into a local best buy, or any place that has working display models and test it out).

If the s-pen works then chances are the switch that tells if pen is present may be jamed/broken (maybe a little bit of sand got somewhere in there), try flush it out, I'm not sure poking around with a q tip would be advisable (your toletance of risk)

If your s-pen don't work try the working s-pen on your screen.

If neither work sounds like the EMR is malfunctioning, which requires servicing.

Edit: grammar
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pete4k:
S-pen may still have water inside. Take the tip out and maybe blow warm air inside or shake water out or something. I had one of older pens open up and there is cavity inside, not sure if the new pen is the same, but if water got inside and it seems it did, may be more difficult to dry out. I don't think Samsung covers water damage, so I wouldn't voluntary disclose that, also I would try just to go to store and try other pen maybe all you need is new pen. If it is, it may actually be less troublesome to pick Note 7 pen on ebay or something, they are the same and many people have leftovers(including me). If I was going to do underwater photos I would probably put some tape on all openings as a precaution. I did some underwater photos with my Note 7 before, but I knew it's going back on recall so didn't care and didn't have problems, with N8 I didn't dare to do it yet. And remember it's 5ft/30 min max. and no charging until it's completely dry.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] SteelPicori:
The s-pen for the note 8 is actually water resistant too (though Samsung does not quote the exact IP rating for the pen). The s-pen is a passive device and it's near impossible to kill it with water (my kids have subjected other wacom pens to various forms of water torture, once completely dry they work right as rain)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pete4k:
Phone is water proof, pen is waterproof and yet it doesn't work after being submerged under water. My best guess and it's only a guess, water somehow got inside and interferes with the operation. OP should first check if it's pen only or the phone. Pen itself should be easy to fix even without Samsung, broken phone will require Samsung repair or replacement, so hopefully it's pen and it isn't too difficult to check. If it's the phone, you can't even open it, so outside of making sure pen cavity is fully dry (BTW s-pen won't work if phone thinks pen is stowed inside) the only remedy is Samsung. As already stated, I used Note 7 under water multiple times and outside of some hicups which went away after the phone was fully dry, I had no issues. Come to think of it, let me repeat this : s-pen won't work if phone thinks the s-pen is still inside, could be wet switch telling phone s-pen wasn't removed yet, even it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jooniloh:
Someone has to say it, so I'll bite the bullet and say it. "Here's a waterproof phone for you guys" ≠ "go dunking your phone into water"

Also you said sea? Saltwater is not good for anything.

If that option to disable spen detection when the spen is inserted is on to save battery, that's most likely what's doing it. The spen detector thing was damaged or is stuck so it's not telling your phone the spen is removed, therefore your spen digitizer is off.

unlike what some others said, this is a setting, not forced behavior. disable the setting and spen detection stays on when the spen is inserted (or the phone thinks it is)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] copilus:
Salt is corosive on many material. IP ratings do not take into account salt water. Also IP ratings talk about accidental submersion.

https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-waterproof-are-the-new-iphones-heres-what-all-the-ratings-mean/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xile6:
Your kinda to blame.

No phone works with SEA water.

It has salt in it and that very different from fresh water.

Its even in the manual that tells you to not put it in salt water. And if it does. To run low pressure fresh water over the phone for 10sec.

So dont sell the phone to someone else. Pay the debutable and get another phone you water damage it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] allthrottle:
I didn't realize salt water wasn't included in the water resistance classification. I'm sure if you polled a group of people, this wouldn't exactly be common knowledge. However, it makes sense.

It is included in the fine print, for anyone that RFTM.

Hi there,

I'm unsure if I am posting this in the correct place or if it's relevant here, but I need assistance in retrieving a conversation from Facebook messenger. The individual I was talking with may have blocked me? All I know is I can no longer see the conversation and would like to access it if possible? I did not realise this happened.

I am using a Lenovo Moto G5 android mobile. Or if it can be retrieved another way, on my laptop? I'd like any advice available?

I'm also wondering if the same can be done to retrieve text message on same phone? I've heard of FonePaw, but I'm not sure if it makes your phone vulnerable?

Any help/advice would be really appreciated.

Cheers,

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] tdetroit:
Hi. I bought the Note 8 (Verizon) last week, and everything seemed fine, but then 2 days ago the screen simply won't turn on when I have an incoming call. The phone rings, but the screen won't come on. I have to unlock the phone, and swipe down the notification bar just to answer the call. I've googled around but can't find an answer to this issue for this particular phone. Any suggestions/ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] moralesd66:
Maybe give a factory reset a go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] tdetroit:
I was actually forced to do a hard reset this morning. The phone would NOT come on, no matter what I tried, couldn't even go into Safe Mode. Problem still persists. I'm actually thinking of exchanging it since I'm within the 14 day period.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] moralesd66:
Hard reset....As in power off and on right? Try booting into recovery mode and deleting cache and data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
My TMO one did that today, heard it ringing but screen remained off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] tdetroit:
I've now performed 2 factory resets, disabled AOD (for testing) and kept it on for other tests...same outcome. The screen will not come on when I have an Incoming call.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
You tried removing the screen protector and case?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] BlueFox721:
Maybe the setting for proximity...in pocket...turn off
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] tdetroit:
I've tossed the screen protector after 1 day because it kept making a clicking sound on the top corner. No case on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] tdetroit:
Tried that-no change. It's hard to believe that this phone has pretty much everything going for it...except turning on the screen for an incoming call.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Factory reset , if no go , replacement.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] tdetroit:
3 Factory Resets later, booting into Safe Mode, not downloading ANYTHING else, same scenario. Verizon is shipping a replacement to my house, I should have it by Tuesday. The Tech at the Verizon Store actually called my phone so I could show him the lack of screen activation. He said he's never seen this before either.

they know absolutely **** about anything

I never use retail store
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] hifialan:
Another way to fix this is to call yourself on another phone while your Note 8 screen is on. When the call comes in, don't answer but slide down the notification bar and you will see your call. Adjust notifications to not block/be silent.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] GigaSPX:
I went into Settings, Display, but nothing about double tap to wake-up. Samsung runs on AMOLED and that function is on other screens like Sony Xperias.

I do notice another thing going into Notifications settings and I see that the Phone app is Muted. I don't know how to get out of it.

The solution is the person who posted above. You call yourself, and swipe to unblock Silence notifications for your phone app. It's weird how it was set that way, but that's the best solution!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Akauffin:
How do I unmute phone call notifications?

Thanks! My incomimg calls now appear on my screen!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Ianscape:
I tired the unblock silence notifications and that still has not fixed it as well as a hard reset. Anyone else got any suggestions?

Thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Tbyerly2:
Fix to dark screen on incoming call

Step 1: call youself

Step 2: swipe down on notification bar to view the call(usually how you would answer while dealing with this issue)

Step 3: swipe the call to the right and click the setting wheel.

Step 4: select "do not hide notifications"

Step 5: test call after doing this with the screen off, its should work.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] baldybill:
I have a v20 US996 (unlocked) that I'm getting ready to unlock the bootloader and then I'll want to root. I've always rooted with SuperSU in the past, but now there is also Magisk.

For our v20s (US996):

1) Should we use Magisk instead of SuperSU?

2) Is it as stable as SuperSU (without random reboots, etc)?

3) If 1+2 are "yes" then where can I find out how to root with Magisk safely without any problems?

Thanks!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Slashbeast24:
I say yes to your first two questions. I accidentally upgraded to 10H on the 996 and I thought I was stuck with an unrootable phone. I had already had an unlocked bootloader and I used ADB to flash TWRP, flashed Magisk and boom. Rooted again. Been happy ever since. I don't have the exact thread for Magisk but if you Google I wanna say Magisk 14.0 you should be able to find it. Been working great for me. Hope that helps.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] baldybill:
Anyone else's thoughts?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] baldybill:
Also, will I still be able to use the 2nd screen?

And where can I find instructions specific to the v20?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Sizzlechest:
Magisk works great and passes SafetyNet. No reason to still use SuperSU. Switching can be problematic. You need to reflash the correct boot.img, then flash Magisk WITHOUT LEAVING TWRP.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Lgv20user:
Especially with chainfire retiring, now is all the more reason to use magisk only. I've been using supersu for the entire duration of my smart phones but I need to make the switch.

I have not yet rooted this phone. Should I follow the instructions from jcadduono to root this and then be sure to flash magisk instead of supersu?

I had this same problem, I asked this question on the subreddit, I got an absolutely amazing response and I fixed the phone. Pretty much just flash the 10f kdz, and then re unlock the bootloader if needed, then flash twrp normally, DO NOT US RECOWVERY. here is the link to the person who helped me with all of this, https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv20/comments/73hsl3/upgrading/.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] baldybill:

(I've never rooted this phone, so it's not an issue of re-rooting, it's an issue of rooting to begin with)

Why not use recowvery?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] GreenDinoXD:
It isn't necessary for our device since we can just flash TWRP through fastboot after unlocking bootloader officially. If you need me to I can write you a step by step guide, it'll be done tomorrow after school but I can write it for ya if need be.

I just picked up a brand new v20 with 10f. I don't have to do the LGUP thing correct?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dwh2o13:
That would have been my guess as well. I've just recently picked up the v20 with 10f and have unlocked the BL and looking to install custom recovery and root.Did you get an answer on this and root with this method?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Phoenix591:
10f and even the new 10n should be fine to follow the exact same directions of mine (someone else posted them from Reddit since I didn't have an account months ago) earlier in the thread. Simply put go to LG's website ( https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryTypeCode=ANRS ) walk through the steps they give that involve going into fastboot mode and copy pasting two values to generate an unlock key file. Once the unlock key file is generated put TWRP where you can find it in the cli on your PC to flash with fastboot, and either magisk, supersu, or for no root but keeping TWRP no-verity-opt-encrypt (99.9% sure supersu and magisk do what no verity opt encrypt does) on your phone's SDcard. From there go into developer settings (if not shown go into settings, about , and tap the build number a lot) and enable allow OEM unlocking, then you can go into fastboot and flash the key file (which factory reset the phone) and TWRP, pull the battery after the flash is complete (booting stock without a root or no-verity-opt-encrypt will reflash stock recovery and fastboot reboot starts the system) then reboot into recovery by holding vol down constantly, holding the power button until the screen turn on, and then repeatedly tap the power button until it asks to factory reset, say yes both times. Then use TWRP to flash either root or no-verity-opt-encrypt.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dwh2o13:
Hey thanks so much for your help on this. If you don't mind I just wanted to confirm this root method before I dive in just to be on the safe side: Below is what I've got:

Current Condition:

-	LG V20 us996, build number NRD90M, version US99610f

-	Bootloader Unlocked, stock recovery

-	Ext SD Card

-	Minimal ADB/Fastboot working on windows pc

Rooting steps:

1. Download Recovery: twrp-3.0.2-1 and latest no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip, and root method(Magisk 13.3). Place the twrp image file into the platform tools folder and the no-verity zip and Magisk 13.3 zip into the phone ext sd .

2. In platform tools folder, open cmd prompt window: fastboot flash recovery image.

3. After successful flash of twrp-3.0.2-1, Pull Battery for a couple of seconds.

4. Replace battery, hold down both power button and volume down button until LG logo appears, then let go of and immediately press and release the power button while continuing to hold the volume down button…. Phone should then ask for a factory reset, say yes both times and then the phone should reboot into twrp.

5. Once in twrp, go to install, change over to ext sd and flash no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip

6. Go back in twrp, select wipe, select format data, type in yes to confirm

7. Go back in twrp, select install, flash Magisk

8. Reboot

Questions:

- Does everything seem correct?

- If flashing Magisk immediately after successfully booting into twrp in step 4 above, is step 5 necessary?

- I have both Magisk 13.3 and Magisk 14.0 on my ext sd, but was just following the post by [MENTION=6048235]GreenDinoXD[/MENTION] and his recommendation to start with 13.3 and then go to 14.0. Thoughts?

- I have read some on twrp 3.1.1-0-elsa, would you also recommend updating twrp to that version after getting things up and running with this root process.

Sorry for the long post
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] pistacios:
I was in the same situation^

twrp 3.0.2.1

Flashed straight to Magisk 14.0

I did not flash the no verify zip.

No issues here. I'm on 10f. Been up and running for a week now...
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Phoenix591:
If you flash magisk or supersu you don't need no-verity-opt-encrypt. Flash magisk or supersu before formatting data. For booting into recovery it's sensitive as to exactly when you press the power button the second time, it's easier to just repeatedly press the power button as soon as the screen turns on. TWRP 3.1 gave me issues flashing something or other it's been a while so I don't remember exactly what. I've built TWRP 3.2.1 for the us996 and am getting ready to post my own thread on it.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dwh2o13:
