[General Questions and Answers] CTXCI:
I've been looking into getting a Note 4 on Swappa for around $150. Is there another flagship phone are the same price that is just as good or better? I'd like to get one that has a pretty big screen, absolutely no lag (my Moto G4 has 2GB of RAM but this damn thing lags so bad and and can't even keep 2 active apps in the background to multitask with without both of them crashing in the background), and I'd also like a pretty decent processor.

Any ideas? I'm coming from iPhone, which I had the 6S Plus, and then went to my G4 (hate it) and now want the Note 4 or something similar. I used to develop Android ROMs so I knew about a lot of devices and specs back in ye ol day, but not anymore haha

Is there a Blu phone that is actually good? Huawei Honor 8?

Thanks for the help
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Note 4 and devices from around the same time are are kinda behind on the times. Take a bit of a step up and look for newer devices. Devices from around that time have more than likely been heavily used and charged many times(possibly for years) which means the battery in them might not last you very long before needing to be replaced. Of all of my android devices, the batteries average 2-3 years before starting to have issues, 4-5 years if you're lucky.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] caseyatbt:
I needed to change my screen so I decided to get a new housing since it was already going to be apart. I have moved all the internals over to the new housing and decided to do a test start before sealing the screen down. It starts to boot up and gets to the end of booting and then it gives off a strong vibration like it is shutting down and then shuts off. I have gone over all the connections and everything is just as it was. There have been a couple of boots that I can see the dimmed screen before it shuts down and I see a window that says "Shutting down" (the battery is at 50%). When it is shut off and plugged in, the charging battery screen does not show up.

Does anyone have any experience with this type of issue? I would like to get it up and running.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlueFox721:
I believe that Oreo will start droping Jan - Feb... T-Mobile and Xfinity first Sprint and Verizon Last...just guessing though...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ProtoDeVNan0:
Beta should be coming soon. For most countries in Europe. But it still is pretty disappointing that S8 got Oreo and Note8 which uses similar hardware didn't. Plus Samsung could support Note users after Note7 failure.

And porting Oreo to N8 from S8 is really difficult. First beta didn't boot for some reason and getting a logcat with Samsungs new security is bit more difficult. Second beta has even more security which makes it even worse.

Did You guys hear that all Oreo devices have to use Project Treble? So once we get official Oreo we can boot Generic AOSP on our phones! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The_Keeper86:
I read somewhere that Treble isn't going to be enabled in Oreo for Samsung devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ProtoDeVNan0:
Currently it's just disabled in build.prop(S8 beta) but Google requires all manufacturers to use and enable Project Treble. Doesn't seem like any Oreo betas have it. But official releases will be forced to have that. It's not recommended anymore. Now Google forces all manufacturers to use it. Samsung is already using HIDL in Oreo beta which is a good sign. But still. They have to give us Treble. Otherwise Google will be mad lol idk.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The_Keeper86:
Oh cool well in that case that's awesome news :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gee2012:
I think that only apllies to device that are released with Oreo, not wen released with Nougat. Even Nokia 8 doesn`t have Treble enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ProtoDeVNan0:
Nokia 8 just got Official Oreo and doesn't have Treble :rolleyes: . We'll see what Samsung gives us in the final release. But for now I feel like August Nougat is the last update Note8 will ever get.. I'm starting to feel bad for selling my S7 Edge. My friend has S7 and he already runs Oreo on it. I think even Galaxy S2 has Oreo.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The_Keeper86:
Mine is on October.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] douger1957:
I don't think that's how Treble works. The news that XDA had yesterday was that it seemed easier to port an AOSP ROM. You still need to be able to flash it, and as long as the Snapdragon bootloader remains locked, there won't be any custom ROMs for our phones.

The good news for most of us is that security and core Android updates won't be held up by the manufacturers and the carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jadaress1:
I'm glad yours is more up to date than my UK Exynos version. I bought it on launch day and had a update that day and that was it. In my opinion that's not good enough for such an expensive phone. But I'm a sucka for Samsung phones so guess I'll just get on with it.

Ps it's not tied to any carrier, so I'm waiting for a update directly from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The_Keeper86:
True but at least you can unlock your bootloader at least I think you can on your model.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jadaress1:
Yeh but im not into unlocking bootloader anymore. Reason I'm complaining mainly is that I'm way behind on security updates and my Aod is killing my battery hard, so I'm hoping an update will fix that. Otherwise the phone is working great.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The_Keeper86:
That's understandable. I use aod throughout the day and I think it drains mine as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Iradj:
Yep AOD is draining for me also ALOT of Battery, so I really hope the Upcoming update fixes this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] KruseLudsMobile:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] KruseLudsMobile:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jadaress1:
Mines set to off when in pocket, but it's not in my pocket the majority of the time, if it was I probably wouldn't bother using it, but I like it and it drains soo much compared to my Galaxy S8, something is definitely wrong on mine.

Is your phone still on August security patch, just wondering if your running a different firmware to ours. Mines Exynos unlocked in the UK.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ProtoDeVNan0:
I will never stop winning lol. And what do You mean with several threads? I almost never visit xda. Usually just to post updates to my roms etc. Plus Note8 xda is almost empty. It's like a ghost town here. Everyone got S8 instead and that's why they got Oreo first. And I know that update is on its way. I spend a decent amount of time on weibo, twitter and other places that leak stuff.

But let's not fight with each other. It should be us against Samsung.

Also, this thread was made to show Samsung that we exist and we also want Oreo. They need to hear our "whining". Otherwise they will give us Oreo in January or February once S8 gets its official release because they will think that we are happy with what we have(Nougat).

Fota test servers are getting new firmwares though so there is some movement :D. Static servers have these beta location directories(idk how to call that): UK, US, Germany, Poland, Sweden. But probably more.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
I'm not impressed with the update schedule (read lack of updates) for this phone. Its Samsungs worst yet for keeping it up to date. May as well wait until Oreo is released now! Although it looks like they are anyway!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ProtoDeVNan0:
Some leaks justify this lack of the updates with Samsung making a new UI in Oreo specially for Note8 users. But those are just leaks and rumours.. after all.. they have to give us Oreo one day, right?

Btw. Did anyone see that Samsung will be updating S6 to Oreo? 3 years of major OS updates support.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vojopd:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rile1564:
I guess you haven't been with Samsung long then. This schedule is better than the Galaxy S, Note 2 and Note 4 I've had, all tmobile. Tmobile even decided not to give their Note 2 the final update everyone else got. I was lucky to get an update every 4-5 months otherwise!

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Bigmille:
Can anybody tell me what is the latest build for the unlock UK S8 Plus please?

Current build number is: G955FXXU1AQI7 with security patch of 1 August 2017.

My dad's S7 have security patch of October 2107.

Seems strange that last year's phone have a more recent security update than the latest phone.

I had a software update notification earlier this week, but did not take a screenshot. It was around 400mb and listed something about fix for wireless charging and update to lasted security patch. However, after updating still on the above build number.

Many thanks
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackel:
The other day, I came home to discover my Nexus Player had updated itself to Android 8 (without my consent, of course). Now I find that I no longer have an on-screen keyboard. When I try to type something, it prompts me to "Use the keyboard on your mobile device." Even if I connect using the Android TV remote app from my phone, I still can't type. Directional buttons work, but typing into my phone's keyboard does nothing.

I have checked Settings > Keyboard > Manage keyboards, which shows toggle switches for Gboard (disabled) and Virtual Remote Keyboard (enabled), however they are both greyed out and I cannot change the toggles or do anything. If I go to "Current keyboard," it's completely blank.

Any clue what might be going on here? This is extremely frustrating. I never wanted to upgrade to Oreo in the first place, because I didn't want to lose app switching support. Now I feel like I'm going to have to waste my time downgrading to 7.1.2. Thanks a lot, Google!

Ok... I have been going through ALOT of different forums trying to sort out my bricked UNIVERSAL... A common thread/problem that i find is that people have tried to flash their

UNIVERSAL without first making it superCID. Then once they encounter problems and can't boot past BOOTLOADER or SPLASH screen they can't perform certain MTTY commands because its NOT superCID. They cannot run the regular unlock tool as they cant boot their device!!

Ok, the CHALLENGE;

Create tool to maker superCID from BOOTLOADER.

Now i dont have the programing skills to do this myself but i know that their are plenty of intelligent people here that do and that are willing to help.

Hi all,

I am new to the forum and I come with a question :)

I recently purchased a Kenwood DNR935WBT for the price of 3 latte's (approx) :)

It came with the WiFi HDMI adapter and all that and almost brand new from the looks of it.

However, the dreaded 'system rebuilding' error is present. Hence, the sale.

I have seen your thread on the DNN992 rooting. I saw the comments saying the system rebuilding error can be removed but did not see substantial steps.

I wonder whether any of you can help me with the steps so I can try this at home.

Thanks!

The test TWRP build on here works for me. Can't access SD card/data. Is that still a known issue or did I do something wrong when flashing? It took a few seconds to load TWRP when rebooting to recovery, then it asked for a password, where I just pushed Cancel. Then I swiped to allow modifications. No access to data though.

Thanks for this though dude! It's progress!

It won't unencrypt data. It did for me sometimes but not everytime and when I looked at the log it said my data partition was set to ext4 but said it was Emmc so I tried to change f.stab file and it still wouldn't unencrypt.

So I went to Twrp and in advanced format settings I clicked data partition and chose repair or change filesystem and changed from emmc to ext4 then it worked after it formatted. The only problem is now my secure boot doesn't work and Twrp never asks for a password. I wouldn't recommend doing what I did.
