[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] dhart62:
I thought most of the phones had all the bands they were just set up to only work a few. Like the CSC determined the bands to use. I have gone into the service menu and enabled all bands for gsm and cdma but that was on the s4 and note 3. I haven't tried it on any devices more recent. As for the initial system, I've always thought of it as a linux system with a crazy twist. Might check this out but it's pretty intense:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MrShock:
I have korean S7 G930L, and are having some questions:

-(I'm NOT looking for troubleshooting, just want to know if anyone have the same problem) I still don't know why, but I tried many Nougat custom ROMs (Touchwiz based, like Batman, Superman...) and kernels for my G930L, things work fine, except for the back and recent touch button NOT working (press it, no response, no backlight or vibrate). I tried all kind of setting inside the rom, using button remap app, no good. Only way for them to work again is to flash back to stock firmware through Odin. Even if I just flash the custom kernel over the stock firmware those button stop working right after that. So anyone having korean S7 model, do you have the same problem as me? I've posted the issue on the rom forum, but seem like there won't be any fix now.

-Since F/FD model also are Exynos variant, I was hoping I could flash F/FD firmware through Odin to my L, but maybe it's not possible (too afraid of bricking my phone to try). I read somewhere that's because of the different partition size, and I don't know if re-partition option in Odin can help, because that maybe unsafe to do so. Your opinions?

-I also read that you can replace the CSC file with your country CSC file when flashing, while load the BL, AP, CP file of the current model. Can I do that? I also read that I have to tick the re-partition box in Odin, and my fear of bricking my phone stop me from doing so, because my country sold the FD model and I'm having L model, if I also have F/FD model then I would have gave it a try.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Only thing I can think of is if you selected on screen buttons when installing the ROM. Those will disable hardware buttons.

Not sure about 930F/D compatibility with S/L/K

As for Odin, I've always read that you leave all options default and don't manually check/uncheck anything. You should be able to flash whatever CSC you want so long its CSC within your models variant, but again not sure with 930F/D compatibility. There is a flashable CSC utility that supports S/L/K you can do after the fact: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-30-t3392949
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MrShock:
Do you have Korean S7? I want to know if it's a common problem with korean model or is it just me who have it.

For S8 ported ROM, I'm sure I uncheck the on-screen button first, but those buttons didn't work. It also happen with S7 stock-based ROM like Superman, or even just flash another custom kernel over the stock ROM, all the time the same problem.

I'm currently using the CSC selection and it works fine, but it also means I have to root the phone. I want a way that I don't have to root but can use CSC feature, so I can have OTA update or apps that require unrooted phone to use. It's clear that using custom ROM or kernel are the easiest way but not an option for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
I'm on a 930F. Sounds like there must be a difference with the S/L/K buttons that F/D ROM's don't account for, can't think of anything else.

I would guess flashing CSC should be fine on any Exynos variant, but that's just a guess. I've got nothing tangible to base that on. I also imagine worst case scenario you'd still be able to get into download mode and flash again if it goes wrong.

Have you tried Marshmallow? Just to see if it works?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MrShock:
Don't know if I can downgrade to Marshmallow (I remember I've read that it's not possible), but for now I want to stick with Nougat. That's why I want to hear opinions of another Korean model users and how they deal with the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
I've gone between N and MM and back a few times waiting for Xposed N

So long as you flash all 4 files that belong to MM with Odin it's fine. You just shouldn't flash a zip to downgrade, since that's doesn't downgrade everything and will cause problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MrShock:
Good to know that. Maybe someday I'll give it a try. But if I can have Nougat ROM without problems like those it would be best. Those Korean model have limited SMS length, and cannot mute camera shutter sound which pretty annoying, not to mention those bloatware. And my phone have already tripped Knox, or else I might just live with it and stay stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] LineArc:
Hey buddy. I am also very much thinking of the re-partition thing. Do not have the courage to brick my phone. Have you done anything since the post is quite old.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cadetprewitt1992:
Maybe there is already a thread of this somewhere already, but I didn't see one, apologies if it is, just thought I'd share my thoughts. Or maybe this is just super obvious so nobody posted about it. Anyway...

So as of the time of this writing they're still accepting people into the Oreo Beta. I only registered my phone about an hour ago (just before midnight, Nov. 1st) in the Samsung+ app and it let me get the Beta, so I imagine all the spots aren't full yet.

To those of you on the wrong carrier (But still in the U.S.) the process is easy! Simply go to this tutorial HERE to flash the unlocked firmware on your device.

After set-up, download the Samsung+ app, and register for the beta. Then, head to "Update" in your settings, and search for updates. It will have to go through *every* update between that firmware and the latest release, before finally downloading Oreo. My phone updated *four times* so be prepared to waste some time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pro_granade:
Why do you say non tmo
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adj998:
Because so far only t mobile and Sprint carriers and g950u1 users can get the beta. Other carriers can't so that's why he said for non tmo and Sprint users
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pro_granade:
It's closed now, they removed the script to even bring the beta button onto the app, if you use the fiddler thing to make it come up, it makes no difference, and I private glitch I had to get the beta signup to come up doesn't work either.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adj998:
That's too bad. I lost beta apparently. I was running TURBO rom and registered then I flashed g950u1 firmware, still had the beta but after 12 hours I never got the update, now I'm back on VZW AQJA firmware and it's gone. Oh well, maybe someone will make a flashforward zip or I cross my fingers and Samsung releases this sometime early next year

Hi people,

I'm using my Kaiser's internet connection sharing via BT to my desktop. I noticed that during the ICS session and even after disconnecting, I am unable to receive calls. Sometimes after disconnecting it, a long while later I get sms notifications of 5 or 6 missed calls (this is provided by my carrier). I am on a 3G connection so in theory calls and data could take place simultaneously.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Well, is it worth the risk?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karthakon:
It's definitely a solid phone for that price. I'd be concerned about the battery though. The battery on the Nexus 6p has issues as it ages. I had an issue with mine where it would die when the battery meter reached 25%. Google replaced it with another Nexus 6p with an even worse battery. It would die when the battery meter reached 50%. Then they replaced that one with another Nexus 6p with a new battery. (It doesn't die until the battery meter reaches 0 and I checked the battery health with AccuBattery Pro). The phone is still smooth, the camera is still decent, front facing speakers are nice, and it has a headphone jack. I think I'm going to hang onto it for another year.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesebastian:
You will probably need to replace the battery and it's really difficult.

I think there is no 6P with more than 12-18 months and the stock OEM battery still in good state. (With this I mean: shut down at 1% not before and original out of the box battery life or even better in Oreo).

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesebastian:
I got the original Cameron sino one (that costed like 30€). Was the most expensive and the best one, a few months ago. But today I've read that it changed and it's not the same battery. It's a thinner one without temp sensor and less capacity than the original one.

So i don't know what to recommend. There is a popular thread in XDA 6P forum discussing all the batteries.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lil_ith:
I've heard that the original sinos are the best. Would be good to find them again and yes I've read that thread. Just hard to find concrete proof that xxxx battery is good. But I've heard the most stories about the sinos (besides the newer ones) if you hear about a place that sells them still. Please let me know... Or if you hear anything else.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zymphad:
No. 6P is built like junk, worst QC of any supposed top end phone. I've had two 6P bent. Have battery issues. This forum is filled with people getting replacements. 6P is junk. Huawei are crap and their CS is even worse.

You're coming from a Nexus 6? You're going to horrified by how crappy 6P is, it feels flimsy, it feels awful, it feels low quality. It feels like they used the thinnest, cheapest AL they could find, and crappiest plastic for the bezel. Run away.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realmeister:
Switched from a N6 to a 6P this past week. Bought on through Swappa with a new battery for $220 shipped. As much as I loved my N6, the 6P is definitely NOT worse! The camera is much better, the device feels a lot faster and battery lasts longer while charging when needed is much faster.

Given all the problems current flagship generations have, I'd rather spend a LOT less money on a proven model. Just be careful where and from whom you buy! :good:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt1733:
My battery is totally shot phones 15 months old it has the early shutdown problem $200 is way to much risk at this point for any used 6P.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lil_ith:
Early shut down is just because of your battery... Just need to replace it and you will be good to go again. It's still a really good device

It's really an unreliable piece of **** between the battery and bootloop issues yea it's got roms for it but who cares when the phone lasts a year.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cave_diver:
Mine bent like a pretzel, yes those stories in the XDA mega thread were real after all. It also went on to develop the bootloop issue and required a Mainboard swap.

And finally the battery crapped out.

I wouldn't touch a Nexus 6p with a 10 foot pole at this point.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcable2:
Just replaced the battery in my Nexus 6p. Bought this one https://goo.gl/jmYfn9 if you get one make sure it has the fat cable. Also be sure to get a replacement camera glass. You will most likely brake the glass. The camera glass is the only hard part about replacing the battery. Besides that it is easy and takes about 15 minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] SmntNb:
So I'm from Colombia, and I installed a firmware manually to recover from a bootloop. The firmware was from Colombia (it said COO, if that's any helpful).

After I had it set up, a text popped in the screen. It said something about my carrier and firmware not being compatible and told me to factory reset in order to fix it. As I still had signal and my data was working fine, I let it like that.

Today I checked Samsung members to see if the beta program had arrived for me, and in fact it had, so I tried to join but at one stage it said I couldn't apply because my carrier and firmware weren't compatible. I remembered that pop up from before and factory reset the phone.

After setting it up, I went to Samsung Members. The main screen was showing and quickly somenthing popped up, I couldn't read what it said exactly, but was something about changing the Samsung Members country for better service. I clicked accept and it loaded for a bit and went back to the main screen, I accepted the terms and conditions and the app loaded, even though my phone language is set to English, the news and tips section was in Spanish (before resetting it was in English) and the beta program message was gone.

My question is: How is that the country was changed? Can I change it back?

By the way, my phone is an S8, SM-G950F (Exynos), and if I'm not wrong, the previous firmware was from Colombia
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sofir786:
Currently only unlocked firmware from US/UK/SK and eventually some other parts of europe are eligible for the beta and you need a sim card that matches those countries. Like I have a UK s8+, I could have the right firmware but if I don't have a UK sim then it won't work.

This one for size comparison
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] mscion:
This is quite interesting. I'm wondering if the difference is height is not as great cause it looks like the top of the Mate 10 is not level with the Mate 9. This would make the screen not look as tall. Barring some illusion due to the angle, I'm really happy if the Mate is a really little wider. This makes me more inclined (no pun intended) to by it!

---------- Post added at 09:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 AM ----------

Hi. If you have a side by side front view that would clear up things about the screen dimension. Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] gm007:
Sorry i don't have more pics,this one my friend send it to me .

I'm waiting for my mate 10 pro to be available on Monday.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] jemeljsh:
Its not shorter if you consider actual usability of the whole screen. Its bigger in every sense. See the attached screenshots from phonearena phone-size comparison tool.

Although length wise it almost matches with mate 9 screen, mate 10 screen has no on screen buttons, unless you chose to enable them, so from down to bottom it has more screen real estate that you can actually use and enjoy content on it + mate 10 has smaller side bezels than mate 9.

Considering the on screen button non-existence, unless enabled, I would call mate 10 a true 5.9" phone, while mate 9 and all of them other on screen button phones are a bit of cheat if I can say so, because when advertising 5.9", 6.2" or whatever they avoid to explain that its actually less, considering the space on screen buttons take away.

This is also one of the main reasons why I am so hyped about Mate 10/ready to move away from IP7+, because its truly an upgrade screen size wise when coming from 16:9 aspect ratio 5.5" phones like for example OP5 (5.5" with capacitive buttons) and even ip7+ (also 5.5. fully usable screen with 16:9). I definitely do not support that sausage type movement/the new trend of phones with aspect ratio 18:9 and even 18:9.5 in case of iphone x, s8+, note8 - for me those screens are not big, they are simply long :D and remind me of the memes flying around the web when iphone 5 came out with that longer display (One extra line), therefore I want mate 10 to be a huge success and maybe other producers and even Huawei itself next year will try out and squeeze out even more usable cm2 on a 16:9 aspect ratio screen and phone frame :good:
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] warea:
I don't mean its a negative. After all the Mate 10 is still narrower than the Mate 9. And it has one of slimmest side bezels i have seen. From my hands on usage viewing full screen videos, it won't be wrong to say your eyes almost does not see the side bezels.

Im more curious though in that it seems 16:9 or 18:9 ratio measure is slightly variable in reality and not fixed. I was wondering how it is possible Huawei could in their next generation Mate 11 make the sides more narrower while retaining 16:9 or has Huawei's Mate 10 hit the most extreme in that regard ? But if ratio is slightly variable i guess its possible.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] mscion:
Hi. Assuming the pictures are to scale, they are consistent with the Mate 10 screen being slightly wider and slightly shorter. I'm good with this. It is closer to the form factor I want. I think the original Galaxy Note, one of my all time favourite phones, had a 5.3 inch screen but it was nearly as wide as the Huawei Mate 9 because it was 16:10. The first Note Edge (one side edge) was actually wider having 5.6" diagonal and 16:10. If the Note 8 had 16:9 screen, with around 6.3 inch diagonal I definitely would have got that. 18:9 (maybe borderline for me depending on diagonal) and higher ratio is too close to Hershey bar for me.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] jemeljsh:
I believe this is the most extreme you can get. The fingerprint reader/home button is as small as it can possibly be to be comfortable hitting it + on top you have to leave space for camera, led notification, etc. Hats off to Huawei for keeping the 16:9 aspect ratio going and making top and bottom so small on a 16:9 screen with no on screen buttons in perfect symmetry.

What was the hardest part of the rebranding procedure?

Since I probably will want root im probably going to unlocking the bootloader, flashing twrp and magisk. So thinking I might do the rebranding as well.

Adb commands that you must get right, hardest part was directing commands to the correct directory. Made slight error which resulted in soft brick. Thats it really. We were spolied cause mate 9 was easy. My own fault and tbh seems easy now. Easy when you know how

It's even easier now as a tool does the work for you, locked bootloader or not. But you can also unlock bootloader via huawei and do it the slightly complicated way.

But rebrand shouldn't cause ota faults at all.
