[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DowntownRDB:
Just my observations

I have both Note 8 and iPhone X. I am comparing specs and other items as I note below.

Note 8 has 6.3 inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display (2960x1440 at 521 ppi), iPhone X has 5.8 inch HDR OLED display (2436x1125 at 458 ppi). Note 8 has a bigger and notchless screen. Both have minimal bezels.

Note 8 has AOD, iPhone X doesn’t.

Note 8 is IP68, iPhone X is only IP67

Note 8 comes with integrated S Pen stylus, iPhone X doesn’t come with a stylus

Note 8 has 6 GB RAM, iPhone X has only 3 GB

Note 8 has 64 GB internal storage plus micro SD up to 256 GB, iPhone X has either 64 GB or 256 GB but no micro SD

Note 8 has earphone jack, iPhone X has no earphone jack

Screen on time for Note 8 is 6.5 hours, iPhone gets 8 hours (based on my current usage)

Note 8 has basic facial recognition backed up with IRIS and fingerprint scanners, iPhone has Face ID with a sophisticated biometric security system. Face Id does have some issues at this time and Apple is aware of them.

Note 8 has no lag with multiple apps open whereas iPhone X has produced a slight amount of lag with multiple apps open.

Bottom line is Samsung offers betters specs for the buck but iPhone X is still a better choice for security and privacy.

I'm going to keep both and use iPhone X for work and Note 8 for all my personal use especially since it has expandable storage for all my pictures, etc.

iPhone X is a keeper for me, selling the Note 8

Got the X last Saturday. It's a wonderful device. I'm not invested in the Apple ecosystem so there is very little that I can't live without. Love the animojis and all but I can't justify the 1519.17$ I paid for it tbh.

---------- Post added at 12:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

Well... Bye Felicia!

I lasted a whole 4 days with the iPhone X (Without touching my note 8). Great device. Without a doubt the closest the iPhone has ever been to android. I might last an extra couple days once they add a numbers row. And with that gaping chasm at the bottom of the keyboard I don't think it's too much to ask.

The only I see myself buying in is by literally buying in. I wouldn't be caught dead with an apple watch, macbooks are overpriced and my nvidia shield tv runs circles around Apple TV. I just don't feel that the iPhone X (or any iPhone for that matter) works as a stand-alone phone.

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] Jack Beanstalk:
The title of this thread kinda gives away what I'm about to ask. I found a volume amplifier for the Galaxy S5, and tried it, but I don't think it worked. I can't see any difference. Is there such a thing as a software workaround for the stock volume limitation, or...? And if there is, could you PLEASE point me towards it. Thanks, JB
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mikeymax:
Hi,

When you turn the volume up on my Verizon s8 , when you get to a certain point ..there is a message that states you will damage your hearing etc etc.. and to hit OK In order to allow the volume to go high as it can go...

Does anybody know how to remove this warning ? So that the volume side buttons go as high as the phone allows without interruption?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] djisgod:
i would love this removed as well it fully annoys me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Valkiry:
If you don't mind rooting you can add Rom control to your framework to remove it or you can remove it from the framework itself. Java and Samli is required knowledge tho. If some fantastic dev can give you the right path it will make your job easier. Or find a Rom with Rom control built in ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] mikeymax:
I don't want to root the phone bc of that 80 percent battery issue
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] clarkcant:
There is no way to disable that"feature" on stock TouchWiz, unfortunately.

It is particularly annoying when you are trying to raise the volume on your headphones, and are forced to take your phone out of your pocket and hit "ok".
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] farfegnugen:
Yes this is the most annoying thing on the S8
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] JonnyBoy313:
I got the mogul, and when I run any dcd rom Its loops to the welcome then restarts. Tried relocking, then unlocking (with olp 2.40)

I tried to install the rom first (dcd 2.2.0) then 3.27 Radio(off SD card cause wouldnt reboot)

Then I tried The 3.27 radio first, then 2.2.0 rom same thing(restarts at welcome screen)

SD card flashed back to 2.17 Sprint official, with 1.47 radio(works fine every time)

also tried it on dcd 2.1.0, and 1.6.8 all restarted in a loop,

Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix?

Or does anyone else have a good stable wm6.1 with htc touch UI rom maybe with 3.27 radio included?

I am a noob but im am starting to get this thanks for your help
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Sturatt:
do you happen to have ftouchflo cooked in somehow? if you have ftouchflo running, it wont let you calibrate the screen (for me at least).
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] johnannie:
The same thing happened to me. The only way that I could get past that issue was to wait about 5 minutes until I started to calibrate the screen. It then worked..... but it would then reboot in a loop when i tried to open Activsync to configure my exchange server. (And no, I didn't have touchflo enabled).

I went back to 3.16 and it works fine.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] stroths:
Make sure your Olipro 2.40 unlocker took correctly. If it did not, then you will get reboots exactly as you described.

Also, did you do a hard reset after installing your latest ROM?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] riDuh7:
Hard-SPL did not install correctly... This happened to my phone as well.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] JonnyBoy313:
Rom restarts right after welcome screen

Ill i am about to try that again, but the flash made me lose the ESPT settings.

Now I cant make any calls. I wrote all settings down , but I do not have the Unlock code, And I cant find it, (ITS NOT 000000)Running a mogul.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Berserk87:
the reboots are because you didnt unlock correctly.

i had the same problem, i had the new rom flashed but the phone wasnt unlocked right.

you have to run titanunlocker.bat first, follow the instructions then your boot loader should show 2.40.

as for the ESPT settings, you can get the unlock code by using the attached.

your ESN hex is what you need to input to the keygen.

should be under your device information, in your settings.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] JonnyBoy313:
Roms restart right after I tap the the Welcome

Ok I locked it again, Loaded a fresh official 2.17. Connected to activesync unlocked again, loaded a DCD 2.2.0, then 3.27 radio, restarded,set it all up,

Thanks, im very new at this but you guys have help me all the way through.

I have successfully recovered my phone in every way possible. I mean every way. But still havent seen a rom work yet. I feel like IM close though
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] JonnyBoy313:

The Spf unlocker that ive been running does not show 2.40 in bootloader after unlock, only 1.10. But when I open it with winrar I can see the olp2.40

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] vikingalle:
Hi,

Got my P10 yesterday. And i feel its not 100%. When scrolling through Play Store it kinda stutters and doesnt scroll smoothly like it did on my P9. Same with watchin Instagram stories, when skipping to next story it takes half a second to load, again, this was smooth on my P9. I kinda feel like the whole phone is slow.

Is this normal? I thought this phone was suppose to have better performance. Anything i can do?
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] waelh:
No, it's not normal. Did u buy it new?
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] vikingalle:
Yes, brand new from the store. But there was some things that caught my attention. When i opened up the box, i noticed there was like marks on the plastic sealing around the phone, like it had been touched by greasy fingers. Also noticed that in the top left corner of the phone, under the screen protector it has some marks, could look like scratch marks.

But sometimes the phone is very fast, but other times it stutters. Had really bad stutters earlier today, i opened Google Maps through Chrome, and after closing maps again the phone went so slow. Everything was kinda lagging behind and it felt like the phone was really struggeling. I then closed the screen and opened it again and it was back to normal. Even in the alarm clock app, changing the time on that wheel it stutters and doesnt move smooth like it did on my P9. Even scrolling in Chrome it stutters. None of this happened on the P9.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] waelh:
My advise is to factory reset it as first step, if you haven't got all your data on it. Or try to get a replacement (warranty claim) or go to a mall and check a display P10 and replicate whatever you were doing on your phone to see if you will experience the same results.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] vikingalle:
I've already did factory reset but still the same problems. I will definitely contact the store tomorrow to see if i can get a new one.

Thanks for your help!
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] waelh:
Ok buddy, good luck.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] FireRaider:
I remember setting one of my phone's to show the sms timestamp as the time the sender sent the text instead of the time I received it. This is handy when you live on a poor coverage area so you can see the order texts were sent.

Does anyone know if this is possible with the stock rom?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Routaran:
Hello,

I had a general question about what effects does locking/unlocking the bootloader have in terms what permissions.

I just got a used nexus 6p, it was still on stock. So I rebooted the device into the bootloader, unlocked it, flashed twrp and then a custom rom.

While I was doing that, it just occurred to me that I didn't actually know what changed when the flag on the bootloader was set from locked to unlock.

I understand that I need to do this to flash a custom rom but I was hoping for a few more details. Does locking it mean that write permissions are removed from system, recovery, etc. partitions?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamaniek:
Pretty much. Unlocking bootloader (from what I understand) allows you to write on almost any partition on your device.

The important thing is to NOT lock the bootloader, unless you're completely stock. If something goes wrong during a custom ROM install and you can't boot up your phone or get into the recovery, unlocked bootloader is the only way to save you from the situation.
[General Questions and Answers] aboalghool:
hey guys

i have flashed cwm recovery via odin to my pocket s5301 ,

i can't flash update.zip using it since i don't have external sdcard and there's that error mounting sdcard ..

so my only way of flashing the update.zip is via ADB sideload...

can someone tell me the steps how to do the flash?
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
You can use a modified stock recovery to gain root access.
[General Questions and Answers] aboalghool:
none of the recoveries flashed could go into sdcard and flash the update.zip

that was the 1st try i did and didn't work..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erman1337:
Hello, I have this problem where TWRP is not able to mount /data, although the device still works without any other problems. This is preventing me to install XPosed, unfortunately. I have a custom ROM installed, although I can flash stock temporarily if required.

Here's the full log:

Bluetooth was working fine until today. Out of nowhere, the phone wouldn't connect to my car that it was connected to prior.

Tried toggling BT off and on, didn't work. Tried rebooting the phone, still won't connect. Tried deleting the phone from the car and re-syncing it, didn't work. Other phones still connect, so it isn't an issue with the car.

Anyone have any ideas for me?

I've read of BT issues and Oreo in general. My phone connected to my car, but I cannot use it for hands-free phone, music/media only.

Jaybird Freedom F5 headphones, fwd/back, vol up/down worked fine, but start/stop for reasons unknown did not work without kicking on/off Assistant first. That was yesterday. Today all fine. no idea why.

Problematic in

I have Button Mapper to enable squeeze to launch flashlight, and even after setting up headphone button to start/stop yesterday, after several reboots it still didn't work properly. Today, however, all behaving NORMAL. :confused:

I haven't been able to have my phone connect to my car since I've gotten this. Looks like it connects then when my car asks for me to name it, it says pairing failed. Going to check and see if I can connect it to my sound bar tomorrow morning. Hopefully they push an update that fixes it
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] shinasurada:
I have two pixel 2 XLs one would connect to my Bose SoundLink mini for a few seconds and disconnect repeatedly. The other one, is perfect and have no issues.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cavediver:
I have the same bluetooth issue. My 2XL paired with my car without any problems but won't stay connected. If I connect and make a call it stays connected for the call but disconnects when I hang up the call. My S5 always connected automatically when I turned on the car.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cwburns32:
I also am having exact same issue on my P2XL. Paired and connected fine first time, played a ton of Spotify, haven't been able to get it to reconnect ever since. Need to check another phone in car as well as check P2XL with another BT device. Will report back but I may just exchange it as I am within in 14 days. It very well could be software related but don't want to risk them giving me a refurb once I am outside 14 days. Rather get the brand new one and if issue persists, hope that it is resolved in software update.

Report back soon.

EDIT: My phone pairs with everything BT very very quickly; however, it will never connect. I still have several days left on my exchange for brand new device period (they extended it from 15 to 21 days per the Google rep I just spoke with). I am inclined to just exchange and get a brand new one versus waiting until outside of that period and exchanging for a potential refurb; however, I noticed that Google now provides what we are getting in our updates before they come and the November update is full of Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL bluetooth fixes so I think I might hold out to see if that fixes our issues, most of them seem specific to our issues of connectivity.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cwburns32:
Hi all,

Just downloaded the November release and can confirm that Fast Pair works now and BT is fully functional. I forgot the device on my car and on my phone upon reboot after installing the update. Turned my car on, turned BT on and it really paired and connected within seconds. Tested with 3 more speakers and even went back to car to test again. All good to go. There were a ton of patches listed for BT specific to P2 and P2XL, glad they fixed this so quickly.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] WorldOfJohnboy:
Where do you get the November release? I just checked system updates and nada.

Regardless, I fixed my BT issue with Google support's help... press and hold home button. Press blue icon in upper right. Press three dots, then settings. Tap phone, then scroll down to other voice settings. Make sure Bluetooth headset is enabled. Also, reset your network settings. Delete the pairing on your car, then pair again. Mine worked like a charm.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cwburns32:
I just went into System Updates and checked and it was available. It started rolling out today, I am sure you get it soon. I tried support's help, made sure BT headset was enabled, deserted network settings and deleted pairing on car and phone multiple times to no avail. With the new update I can swap between 2 different BT speakers almost instantly. The update includes many other fixes/improvements. Some to do with screen, most of that though coming in December patch I believe.

EDIT: added screenshot of About Phone screen to show November 5th patch. Hope you get yours soon!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Moostafa29:
I don't see anything. I'm on 8.1 though. I'd downgrade if this works, but hopefully there is a patch for 8.1 too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cwburns32:
Not sure if there is a November patch for the dev version just yet, I'm sure there will be but might not be on the 5th/6th like we are used to seeing. Could be wrong though. I do know they started rolling it out today so it might just take a bit to get to you, I didn't see it this afternoon around 2 pm but did around 5 pm. Hope this helps.

NP, glad you could understand me--I just realized the typos I had in my original post, so I edited it...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] enzeem2010:
Is the Bluetooth power level changing for anyone since the November patch? I've been running Jaybird X2 since early this morning and there is no way I'm still at 100% four hours later. I paired them after the patch. Turned them off and on, Bluetooth off and on. I'll try rebooting next, but it's strange all the same.

edited: still 100% (4hrs use)

edited2: now 60% (6hrs use)

These typically have 8-10 hours use per charge.

edited3: now 10% (9hrs?)

I didn't see when it changed or what the increments were.

"Battery Low" warning at 20 minutes power left.

Anyhow, just my experience.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] cwburns32:
I noticed this too, not a huge issue for me as most, if not all, of my BT devices have battery indicators on them. I don't typically go into BT settings to check battery of BT devices but that's just mw

---------- Post added at 09:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 AM ----------

Sound via speakers is working fine for me. I'm sure you made sure media is checked in the Bluetooth settings and your car is on Bluetooth audio right? And you've pumped up the Bluetooth volume on your phone because it is different from media and can even be different from the Bluetooth device to Bluetooth device.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jaredstein21:
