Hey guys, does anyone have a list, or could we start one, with aftermarket or other series Samsung pens which work with the S3? I was looking for a (inexpensive) one I can keep for work without worrying about losing the expensive one. I searched Amazon, and I can't seem to find any other than the OEM which are sure to work.

Anyone have any luck?

Thanks

Not full-sized replacement but....

Normally, what I have is the S-Pen replacements from Note phones, they tend to work, although I can say that they are definitely small.

I got the Noris pen as a backup. It doesn't have the S Pen button on the side. But it works just fine otherwise. And I had to use it when I busted the nib on the S Pen.

I just hard reset my Trinity and re-install all my apps.

Now when ever I tap the battery icon on the task bar at the top of the screen it no longer brings up the Power Settings.

Do I need to set something for this to happen ? It used to launch the Power Settings before I hard reset my phone.

Hey,

I had rooted my OnePlus 3 in the previous week. I flashed TWRP recovery and flashed Lineage OS 15. I too decrypted my OnePlus 3. Everything is working fine but then, I noticed that my phone's internal storage is reduced from 54Gb to 24Gb. And I am running out of storage now. Can anyone tell me how to get my internal storage?

Initially, total space = 54 GB

After rooting, Total space = 24 GB.

:confused:

Thank you for helping.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
So a few of you have seen me mention that my cell signal suddenly became awful after a few days of use, and at first I thought it might be related to flashing CSCs or a 950F ROM but ruled that out since Odining back to full stock didn't have any effect.

I became convinced that something must be loose with the internal antenna wires, and also observed that the signal seemed to be a little better on hot days and a little worse on cold days.

Well after watching a couple YouTube videos of how to pull the back off this thing I fired up the microwave oven with a rice-filled sock for heat and..... it didn't help. BUT! a hair dryer worked wonders, and very quickly. I only had to heat up a small section and use a little blue plastic prying tool in my ifixit kit to really easily get the back of the phone off.

Next, I pulled the plastic pieces off the circuit boards to get to the antenna connectors, fully expecting something to be loose. Sadly I was mistaken. both wires ends were securely snapped down, but I disconnected and reconnected "just in case". I decided to do a real battery pull discharge while I was in here since it couldn't hurt.

-------

Not to be foiled, I decided to fire the phone up naked and just fiddle with the connectors to see if somehow they were still involved.

I was right - sort of. If I apply pressure in certain angles on this connector, the LTE strength will go up to about -82 dBa from bouncing between -98 to -125 dBa - and as a reference point my Note 5 in the same position sits at -82 or -83 dBa

Now I just need to decide on the best way to fix it, I think it might just be bad solder joints on the socket on the circuit board since it appears to be temperature-dependent (on hot days everything expands to make slightly better connections, cold days the parts contract and the connection gap becomes worse). Any other 950N owners experienced this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Also does anyone know if those antenna connector sockets are surface mount, or if they go through the board completely?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
I commend you for doing what you are doing. Kudo's as they as say here in America.

Just out of interest, I am aware that Samsung doesn't support foreign devices for warranty. But would they support a foreign device for out of warranty work?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vadimo:
Why would they not? They will be charging you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
I don't know that's why I asked the question.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
My best guess is that they might not because they would claim that they don't have the parts or training to service a foreign variant. On the plus side, it's nice to see that the internal layout is identical to the Snapdragon version so I didn't have to do any guess work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
No experience myself but I have seen online numerous times that they will not even if you pay. Lots of manufacturer's do this, it not just with phones. Like Seiko watches for example, you purchase a Seiko say for the Japanese market, Seiko USA will not touch it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Yeah it's unfortunate since you know they have access to the schematics, repair data etc but refuse to take your money.

As far as my phone goes, I tried reflowing the solder on that antenna connector but it didn't seem to make any difference, and now I can't get the signal to improve back to normal at all (even applying pressure as I did originally).

Funny thing is that my 3G HSPA and HSPA+ (that T-Mobile calls 4g) signals are just fine. If I turn off LTE, it drops to "4G" and aside from being slower than functioning LTE everything works fine. My guess is either something is faulty with that bottom circuit board, LTE modem which is on the main circuit board, or the LTE radio amplifier chip (also on the main circuit board). Once I can get a new replacement USB board I'll swap it out and see if that helps. If not, I'm kind of SOL because if it's something on the main board I would likely just need to get a new phone (can't imagine how expensive a 256gb internal storage board would be brand new but for the price I would feel safer just buying an entire phone).

Really wish there was some way to get Samsung Korea to repair it for me but I don't speak Korean well enough to have that kind of discussion yet, and who knows if they would even agree to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
I hear but unfortunately sometimes they really don't have access to repair info & techs that are trained for non domestic market models. Samsung USA may actually not have easy access to Samsung Korea info & parts although I'm sure someone high up on the ladder could get it.

I used to work in electronic depot repair. One of our customers was Sony VAIO, we were one of their authorized repair centers. Not easy to get that kind of relationship as Sony is very secretive, well all OEMs are very protective about internal engineering info. We could get most info for all their laptops & worked with their engineering team. However when we started working on Sony Playstations, Sony Entertainment would not give us the time of day even though we were an authorized provider for Sony VAIO.

I know the case is a bit different but big corporations have regions or different divisions that won't or can not easily work with each other other than on a corporate level even though they are all part of the same parent company.

I'm sure there are lots of people at Samsung Korea that speak english. Whether or not they will help you or if you can get in contact with the right people is the issue. Worth a try. I'm sure parts will be available on ebay someday but probably not for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Very good points. I'm even more sure it is just something faulty with that board. Heated it up for a few minutes with a blow dryer before reassembling the phone again and now my LTE signal is just stable low instead of jumping between low and unusable. Also comparing it to the one from ifixit's USA model Note 8 teardown, they revised it a few days after mine was made, possibly to address whatever caused mine to go bad after a few days of use. The only change I can see is the placement of two chips on the antenna connector side.

Since I can't find parts yet I may just keep trying to fix this one but it's good to know that the usb boards are dirt cheap, for other Samsung models it looks like they go for $5 to $10 on eBay new. Of course if the problem is a break in one of the circuits inside the pcb i can't really fix that (assuming I could even see it, everything on this board is so tiny I need a magnifying glass to work on it).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
Yeah, it's incredible how small they are able to make things these days. I can relate as I have worked on stuff that small also.

Oh so it it looks like they revised the board? Maybe they just added better filtering? Hopefully it'll be available soon. It could very well be a bad solder joint or defective PCB. The PCB is so thin & can easily get damage by flexing. And all that crap lead free solder they use these days.

I wonder if the parts they sell on ebay are OEM parts? Whatever, as long as they work. They sure do look OEM though. On my N5 the USB port stopped working. It doesn't have any notice physical damage but it doesn't work. Sometimes if I plug in a cable a gear vr screen will pop up. Won't ever fast charge, sometimes it will cahrge normal, & can't transfer data.

I bought a replacement USB port for $5 on ebay along with a replacement back cover in case I broke it. But the damn board also has the front touch screen buttons by the home button. So to install I basically have to disassemble the entire phone, front screen and all. Ah I don't feel like doing all that. Maybe someday but for what, I have this N8 now. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Oddly my Note 5 still works just fine... The main reason I wanted to upgrade is that the battery life is definitely not what it used to be.

Fortunately with the Note 8 most of the goodies are accessible once you remove the pain in the butt rear glass but i figured out that a hair dryer, suction cup and thin plastic pry tool makes the job relatively easy. For the time being I'm just keeping the case on so I don't have to pull the glass off again (granted this means not being able to use the fingerprint sensor)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] shouren04:
I see, I also purchased a replacement battery for my N5 at the same time. I didn'tbget an aftermarket one though, I got one from a teardown. It was cheap too, under $10. I've been using wireless to charge it. At one point I thought the battery was going bad. It wouldnxt charge past 86%. For a week or so. Then mysteriously it started charging to 100% fine & still does.

I still use it at home for browsing when my N8 is charging wireless. I'm trying to avoid using the USB whenever I can now since my N5 USB port crapped out on me. Odd, this is the first phone I've ever had to have tbe USB port go bad on me. I'm pretty good with taking care of my phones. Hopefully when I open it up it might just be a loose flex cable or something.

I have same problem my 4g 3g works fine but no 2g signal at all my operator 2g frequency is pgsm 900mhz.. I checked with other operators 2g working fine on 1800mhz... It's dual sim phone. Changing slot doesn't help either... So what's the possible cause...? My phone is in warranty but service center is 250 kms away.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bonerp:
there is a possibility you touching the connections could be amplifying the signal. Did you insulate yourself to disprove this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Kalm_Traveler:
Possibly, but since it was affecting only when I applied pressure in a specific angle I don't think I was acting as an antenna. Also, since heating up half of it with a hair dryer seems to have stabilized the connection a bit (it sits around -90 dBA where it was bouncing between that and -130 prior) it seems very likely that something with the board itself is flawed. I'm going to put just the usb / antenna board in the oven tonight to try and reflow all the solder and see if that will fix the connection issue since I can't yet buy a new replacement piece.

It is a 32 bit ROM and TWRP you're trying to flash is 64 bit. It won't get flashed ever.

Better install COS12.1 or any other custom ROMs.

There is no any specific reason for sticking with cm11 I thought it is most stable.

Flash Cos12.1 via fastboot, as it will change ur architecture from 32bit to 64bit...

I did some test again on my Korean model (LGM-V300S, Rev.1.0, Software: V300S10j) using the provided gray image, and was able to reproduce the issue on brigthness < 30% (most visible on 5%, barely noticable on 25%) in a completely dark room. However, I don't see any issues with other colors (red, blue, green, yellow, white, etc) even on 5%, so it's kinda a gray color problem. Also, IMHO, this is more like an artificial problem of an artificial test, I mean, I've been using the phone for a week now and didn't notice this issue in everyday use (I don't use brightness less than 30% though, usually it's 50-75%). So everyone should decide on what does he want, a screen/phone that passes all kind of "tests" (which is impossible anyway), or just great device to enjoy latest technologies ;)

[Asus ZenFone AR Questions & Answers] logain42:
I purchased an Asus Zenfone AR from Verizon a month ago on New York. I used the phone as my main phone for a couple of weeks there and it worked perfectly (both cellular network and wifi worked just fine). Then a went to Latin America and the wifi stopped working. What this means is: I cannot turn the wifi ON, when I try to turn it ON, there is a toast saying "Error" and it shows back OFF.

I've went back to the States a week ago and I took the phone with me. On California the wifi started working (being able to turn it ON) again, so when I asked for help on a Verizon shop, the people there told me there was nothing they could do because the phone was working just fine.

Now I'm on Latin America again and the wifi does not turn on, I debugged the phone with Android Studio and I get this error on the console:

10-07 01:02:18.998 1201-2738/? E/ActivityManager: Sending non-protected broadcast android.net.wifi.INVALID_COUNTRY_CODE_DISABLE_WIFI from system 1201:system/1000 pkg android

at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java:565)

A quick google search did not show any results on this error code.

I did a factory reset a couple times and tried it with and without the Verizon SIM card.

Does anyone know what this error means exaclty?

I'll keep debugging it and updating the post with my results.

Update 1:

Looks like the Country I'm in (Argentina) does not have a valid country code... which does not make any sense, but here is the error:

10-07 01:33:02.691 1201-1930/? D/WifiService: setWifiEnabled: true pid=8209, uid=10124

10-07 01:33:02.694 1201-1930/? D/WifiService: notifyInvalidCountryDisableWifi

Update 2:

I'm able to get an internet connection using Bluetooth tethering.

Update 3:

Looks like something like this would help, but would require a rooted device:

https://xdaforums.com/pixel/themes/mod-wifi-country-code-fix-root-required-t3558044

Update 4:

Ok, so, from what I understand now, the local SIM I used changed the country code to AR. But I still don't see why that would disallow me to turn wifi ON. I do know that this could hide some networks from me due to the country code, but I should be able to turn it ON anyway.

A simple

adb shell setprop gsm.operator.iso-country us

should fix this issue, but root would still be needed.

[Asus ZenFone AR Questions & Answers] HellSpawn47:
Similar issue here...

Bought a Samsung A5 2017 in US, everything was working fine until I updated via OTA to Nougat and started using an Argentinian simcard.

Country code changed and wifi does not turn on at all. I tried everything but rooting and using the method you mentioned... I'll try it as soon as i get the time to do it and post here the result.

As far as I got investigating the issue, the problem seems to be caused by the wifi driver not loading properly because of "incorrect" country code.

I get the message "Wifi driver unloaded" in logcat
