For the Snapdragon model at least:

Bigger battery

Unlockable bootloader

Better DAC (coming from a V20 this sounds bad)

Better fingerprint reader location like in the middle

Metal back I don't care about wireless charging

Possibly removable battery like how the v20 did it

Don't make the edges so sensitive

I can't think of much else.

Not cost as much as the Note 8!?

My wife banned me from making any phone purchases in 2018!?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I think I would sacrifice waterproof rating if it meant better speakers (Stereo).

I would like the normal camera mode to automatically capture in RAW if the light levels are bad.

I would accept a fatter phone if it meant the fingerprint scanner in the middle and below the camera.

Maybe a more substantial material for the S Pen. Seen several posts of them snapping and it is the only part of this phone that feels cheap compared to the build of the handset.

Please no more glass backs! I am not a fan of this current trend. My Huawei P9 was a gorgeous phone to behold and hardly ever needed rubbing down. Also felt good in the hands. (Ladies!)

A less buggy Bixby. I was blown away by its potential at first, then repeatedly embarrassed when using it in public and it completely ignored me. Only seems to work when it doesn't matter. Please squash the bug that breaks voice detection if switching power saving modes. It breaks OK Google too. I've completely stopped using both which is a shame. (Got my fingers crossed for the next update.)

When Bixby works again, I would like more granular control about behaviour inside apps. If I have navigation running, it currently assumes any voice command now issued is now Google Maps related. If I ask it to do anything else it fails. Can I please tell it to stay system-wide inside certain apps?

Regarding the Bixby actions (macros) can we add some Tasker-like logic feature between steps? For example my "Home Mode" turns ringer back on, turns wi-fi back on, turns medium power saving mode off, and then returns to home screen. Problem is currently it tries to exectue these all at once. Most of the time one step (and it's random) will get skipped or cut off as it was half way through executing when the next step happens. I then find myself having to examine the phone to identify the missed steps and manually switch them. This ironically takes longer than just doing it all manually in the first place! So again I have stopped using it. Being able to add a "pause for 2 seconds" between stages would sort this out.

Edit: I could also then set up a "Meeting Mode" where is goes into silent, waits for an hour, then turns silent off with a voice command.

I also miss from my P9 the setting to have it completely shut down Monday to Friday from 11pm, and turn back on at 5am. Zero battery drain over night.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] thedarkmunk:
Personally just 4 things:

1) A flat screen- I find the edge screen stupid personally, and I've disabled it; luckily with a phone this big it's not as noticeable as it was on the S8+ and S7e (both of which I've owned and tried).

2) A bigger battery- at least bigger than the S9+.

3) Fingerprint scanner on the front somewhere, or at least lower down the back- luckily I have big hands but it still takes some gymnastic ability for me haha.

4) A higher refresh rate OLED screen, I mean the N8 is butter smooth, but I've seen the Razer phone and use a 144Hz monitor, so I think it would be totally cool- shame the technology isn't there yet!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pump142:

Note9 IR, SD, Battery, Bezel-ful

IR Blaster - *Seriously*, how can this cost more than 25 cents?

SD Slot supporting up to 2tb - I know there are only 400GB so far, but I'm not buying a phone if you don't expect it to last 2 years.

User-replaceable Battery - The S5 did it with IP67 waterproofing, I would expect *advancement*, but would settle for fixing the regression.

An easy-to-grip and handle BEZEL - I want to be able to hold my phone without inadvertently touching UI. This was already a problem with the Note 4 with apps that place invisible UI (gestures) and buttons at the edge, and each phone seems to get worse.

Sapphire Camera lense glass that doesn't stick out - The one part that is most important to keep scratch free always seems to be the most vulnerable, frequently broken, part.

Flat , or concave , screen - for it's protection and for writing on.

Get rid of KNOX... Make it optional and charge separately for it - seriously, government will pay $500 for a nail and $15000 for a hammer to use it, they'll pay for KNOX - and make the Note the developer friendly phone it once was...

I remember a time when XDA was the brain trust for much of what is in Samsung's phones today... They worked alongside, poached anyone with a good idea and inserted into the next great thing...

Then came KNOX... If there is a dark side, this is it...

I hate paying, and believe me you are paying for it in the price of the phone, for a POS app that I never use and makes my life a hassle to do what we used to do...

At the very least let us unlock, and flash the roms we want. They might find good things coming to them again... At the same price they paid last time, Nil...

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] JohnSoong:
This is in regarding my several week old HTC10, which I got off ebay. Phone is S-Off and running stock US unlocked firmware.

The phone is not able to negotiate quick charge with the original HTC charger.

If I use my old HTC charger (from the HTC ONE - 5V 1A) or my ipad charger (5V 2A) or my computer USB port (5V 0.5A), the phone will charge, although slowly.

If I attach the HTC 10 charger when phone is 80% or more charged (ie not really using quick charge), the HTC 10 charger will work, and phone shows "charging rapidly".

But if I use the HTC 10 charger when battery is less than 80% (presumably when the phone is asking for higher volts) I get this:

phone shows "charging on AC" for half a sec or so,

then "charging rapidly" for half a sec,

then "discharging".

This repeats every second or so, and the phone barely charges. (Certainly much slower than my 0.5A computer port.)

I suspect that the phone is having problems negotiating a charging voltage with the charger, and cycling on & off repeatedly as it tries.

I guess this is due to either a bad charger, a bad cable, or bad firmware or hardware.

I don't have other USB C cables or Quick charge 3 power brick to experiment with.

Anyone has any idea of which is likely the culprit?

This is not a deal breaker as I plan to use mostly my 1A charger to slow charge in order to preserve battery longevity. But it would be nice to figure out why quick charge is not working.

Thanks all.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] JohnSoong:
Update: Borrowed a Samsung Quick Charge 2.0 adapter, and it worked with my current cable. So I guess the adapter is faulty.

Hey i just got a Huawei Watch 2, its my first day using it and i have a few questions about the battery life, i just charged the watch to 100% and in the watch battery information its says it will last for about 1.9 days, and that seems great but when i go to the android wear app in my galaxy s7 in the battery information section it says it will only last 7 hours so i dont know what to believe, hope you can help me.

Also worth noting i didn't charge my watch with an original charger i did it with a generic one i got from ebay so i dont know if that will make a big difference.

[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] darkmuffin:
I'm fairly certain this is an IR LED used for autofocusing the front camera. Probably not a notification LED.
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] nikitis:
LED is not in the middle of the camera, that's a reflection from his other recording device, not the phone. It's in between the two as seen here. (From my own phone). It is not very bright though at all. The picture looks brighter than it does to the human eye.

For those worried about it waking you or your spouse at night, don't. It's not nearly bright enough to do that and that is a good thing for most people. However if you rely heavily on the notification led, it is not bright enough to see from an angle, only directly.[IMG="notification light"]https://i.imgur.com/N0cL38T.jpg[/IMG]
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] jazzzzzzz:
Will this headset works with our device?

40$ for ANC headset seems cheap

https://www.gearbest.com/earbud-headphones/pp_636900.html

Any info..!
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] andyg23:
It works with RR ROM (I haven't tested with other ROMs), but it isn't recognized as a headset, so you can listen to music, but you can't use it for phone calls.

If anybody knows a workaround to get it to work, it would be great.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] jazzzzzzz:
What about noice cancellation? Is it working? Thats what make this headset different..!
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] andyg23:
ANC is a functionality that is provided by the headset, not the phone. To answer your question, yes it works. I have no comparable headphones, but it works quite great when I use the bus or train.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] jazzzzzzz:
I see some reviews saying ANC is working only from mi music app thats why I asked whether its working in our phone or not.

How are you turning on ANC from headset? Is there a key for that?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] andyg23:
There is a little switch placed on the remote. When it's activated, a tiny blue led lights up.

ANC isn't restricted to an application. You can plug in the earphone, activate ANC and it works, without opening an app, or play music.

I'm thinking of buying one. Did it work out for you? I'm using Lineage OS also, have you tried on a custom ROM as well? Thanks!!!
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] andrew0070:
I am thinking of getting one too but I want an assurance that it would work when I get it. Also, I read reviews online about the sound quality but am still quite sceptical about the sound. So if anyone has tested it out and tried few eq's on them such as Viper4Android, please your opinion would be very useful. Thank u.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] andrew0070:
I finally got one for my leeco le max 2!!!!! It's good but my equalizer (Viper4Android) doesn't work for it and that's a little disappointing. But with apps such as Poweramp you can get better sound quality. I can say the headphones sounds better than the stock cdla headphones and yes the anc(active noise cancellation) works!!!. Drains a little more battery but I guess it functions like cdla(I mean similar power consumption)... In my own review it's quite good.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] andyg23:
Same problem here with viperfx, I think it's because the earphones aren't recognized as usb input. Randomly DolbyAtmos workes for me as an equalizer, but not all the time and I don't know what affects this.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] Babe0046:
V/S the leeco Cdla

Looks like you have both :D How much better is it when compared to the leeco cdla? :)
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] andrew0070:
Well audio clarity is most definitely obvious on the Xiaomi noise cancelling earbuds also durability in terms of the cable is quite good ANC(active noise cancellation is not as great as I hoped especially when compared to a different pair of ANC earbud i used to have in about the same price range) however the sound in general that is, the bass especially the bass, the mid and highs are ok on the cdla earphones, but durability is terrible. MY cdla earphones cord ripped to shreds that's how bad the cables are.

BAD NEWS: My Xiaomi earbuds fell on the floor and the left ear just died(only very faint sound could be heard) but the right ears were okay, so am not so sure of its durability. And I just recently got the earbuds

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Smrgling:
I am using Pie Controls on the Note8, and have disabled the Navbar using the disable Navbar apk from this thread (https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/overlayers-themes-notifications-note8-t3678166/page). Unfortunately, that also disables the ability to hard press the home button. Is there any way that I can retain the hard press home functionality while still stopping the nav bar from appearing whenever I swipe up from the bottom of the screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] RTbar:
Map the pie control home longpress to do the same thing
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Smrgling:
Sorry, I should have been more clear. What I want is the ability to hard press the home button again in order to press home, not just to do what it did before (which was just go home anyway). I was wondering if there was a way to, for example, make the navbar zero size or permanently hidden without disabling it, since it seems like it is the navbar itself that actually listens for the hard press.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Buji:
Came here looking for the same thing. If you make the bottom bar activation area for pie larger than the nav bar it picks it up, so maybe a transparent 1px nav bar with no buttons would do the trick. That way technically it would still be present (allowing for the home hardpress) but still invoke the pie. I'm just researching this today so maybe someone has already come up with a solution and I haven't stumbled on it yet. Did you end up doing anything different?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jacksskinz:
Mine works? Dunno if I'm the only one lol but when my nav bar is hidden I can still hard press home without opening nav bar back up , on any screen when my navbar is hidden I can hard press, didn't realise some people couldn't
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Smrgling:
Looking for hard press when the nav-bar is completely disabled, not just when it's hidden. The issue is that the the hard press functionality seems to be tied to the nav bar software, so if the nav bar process isn't running on the device the hard press isn't processed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jacksskinz:
what's the reason for disabling, why not just hide the nav bar
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Smrgling:
Because if you just hide the nav bar by double tapping the little circle, then if you try to use pie controls on the bottom edge of your screen swiping up unhides the nav bar instead of bringing up pie controls, essentially making pie controls take more work to use than the nav bar when the point is that it's supposed to be faster and more comfortable.

Ohh okay makes sense, when i used it i had recent apps on left side under bixby button and back button on right side under power button
