[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] panda6024:
Hi, I am enjoying Galaxy S8 a lot.

Currently, I have G950W, which is Canadian variant. It might be a variant with least amount of language support.

It only supports English, French, Chinese, and Korean.

Many would say it is not a big deal, but for myself, it is a big concern. And for others, for almost same amount of money paid for, they are getting less support from Samsung.

I have a special app that won't even run when language is not set to Japanese, which is really bad on Canadian variant. Also, I know how to add languages by selecting "show additional languages" than Samsung suggested ones, but it didn't work.

That forced me to use US firmware, which has more language support than Canadian variant.

I couldn't add cards on Samsung Pay although being Knox 0x0 on US firmware, and had trouble using Samsung+ or Samsung Members app.

Still, I had FM radio working and it was one of the positive sides.

When I saw a news that v3 bootloader will only accept using original firmware, I realized I might not be able to use Oreo, while keep my app working. If I want to go to firmware with v3 bootloader, I would need to use G950W firmware, and then it means an app I use won't run anymore.

Besides my "special" case, there are several additional problems with differences in Samsung's language support on different variants.

1) Other competitors' phones support languages they support, regardless of regions. iPhones support all languages, Google Pixel does it, OnePlus does it, Huawei does it, LG does it (At least on LG G2, I could see many languages available), even Xiaomi does support all languages they can support no matter where their phones are sold.

2) People paid same amount of money, some gets less out of money they paid. It is unfair for Canadian buyers getting S8 has less options on language settings because they bought Canadian variant. Galaxy S8 should be Galaxy S8, not one with less language support.

3) It is not just a matter of running special apps... There can be people who would be more comfortable to use phone in their languages... They would less likely to choose Samsung, and choose competitors with more language settings. (Especially iPhones)

4) Samsung does have money and time to do so. Seeing global variant with tons of language settings, it doesn't mean Samsung cannot support these languages on North American variant. Also, most of language part of the software can just be copied from global variant, as they are mostly exist in strings part. (I mean, values can be copied) It won't cost that much for Samsung to add languages on North American variants that global variants already have.

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Axuf:
Hi, I've recently let fall my xiaomi mi5, which had to effect of broking the screen, and breaking the main fingerprint button ( a little rift appeared) :(

So I've ordered a new screen and a new button, and I’ve installed them, but the fingerprint didn't work ( the settings option even disappear), and the tactile function of the button didn’t work to ( only physical pressure work) Then, I thought that the button I ordered was bad, so I ordered another. And it still not works...:(

Then I thought that there is maybe a security software issue: when the mobile detects a different button signature, it disable those functions, as Apple do.

Does anyone knows if it's the case ? :confused:

And if there is a solution ( installing another ROM...)

And, moreover, my back camera does not work since I disassemble my phone, is there a trick that I should know for the connection ?

Sorry for the mistakes English isn't my native language, and thank you! :cowboy:
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Mr.201:
Backup your data & factory reset your phone. If that doesn't work, use miflash to flash fastboot rom. Could be you bought fingerprint sensor which came from another variant. That's why it won't work.

For camera, unplug it from the motherboard and attach it properly again. Might be loose connection. Check for debris and dust on the connection. Test the phone on the fly before assembling to save your time later on.

Hello guys, I've made a small video explaining my issues.

[YOUTUBE]-xbCJC-r1rE[/YOUTUBE]

Do you guys have any of these issues? If so, I'd like to ask you to report it to the Google team.

Do you have any possibly working work-around or any other solution other than mine? I'm sure it's not possible to fix the notification issue without rooting and flashing (and I wish to stay on the latest, pure android) but I thought that you guys might have a few good tips or recommendations.

My salute to all XDA Member..

Oh right so here goes my issue.. I'm trying to connect my Vufine (wearable display) trough hte HDMI output on my Android Nougat Teclast T10 Tablet, but somehow the Vufine keeps flashing indicating there is no connection on the device. My tablet never shown the hdmi symbol either when connected. I know the Vufine is functional as I can get image from my computer to display on it and can also get the tablet hdmi image to display on my computer screen. This lefted me pretty puzzled. I've also been trying to have the tablet to output at 720p which is the Vufine expected definition, to no avail. To do so I've been connecting on my pc screen , changed the resolution from the display setting on 720p, the resolution been sticking after unplug but still no sucess when connecting the Vufine... i'm now open to all suggestion.. : ) To be mentionned that my device is rooted and runnig stock rom with the exception of a flashed TWRP Recovery.

All help is appreciated..

Thank you.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpkav:
Hello everyone, I have been searching for this specific issue and have found nothing, apologies if this has been addressed. First, I am on my second week of Android after 6 years of iOS so please bear with me, I may not have all the terminology down.

I am running a Nexus 5 (bootloader unlocked if that matters) with 6.0.1, otherwise stock. It was a new-in-box model with 4.4.3 loaded, I updated by flashing it rather than a side-load. I was having the following issues with Face Unlock:

1. First issue, Face Unlock would randomly stop working, when you go into the settings to 'Improve Face Matching' it would report that 'Google Play services has stopped'. This would be accompanied by an increase in processor demand from Trusted Face and a severe drain to the battery, I am assuming it was frequently trying to connect to Google Play. No issue in Safe Mode. This was resolved by disabling Google Play and reinstalling the latest version.

2. Second issue, Face Unlock would again randomly stop working, but this would be accompanied by the Camera also failing to function. I would either get a 'Camera cannot be accessed' report or just a blank screen (camera controls visible, but no picture in the viewfinder). Going to 'Improve Face Matching' would report a problem with the camera. No issue in Safe Mode, so I am assuming the camera hardware was fine. This was resolved by disabling the Camera app and reinstalling the latest version. I had to do this twice, along with the Google Play update, before it worked consistently. This would again result in a reported drain coming from both 'Trusted Face' and the Camera app, again I am assuming it was constantly trying to connect to the Camera.

3. Last issue, Face Unlock randomly stops working, with no issues reported in either the camera or Face Unlock settings. no change in battery life and no reported processor demand using System Monitor Lite. If I open 'Improve Face Matching' I get the white screen with white dots with a permanent "Starting up..." notice. This is easy to fix, a reboot always gets it working again. Usually it stops within 6-10 hours of use, sometimes shorter or longer. Rebooting into Safe Mode also fixes the problem, but I am not sure if that is just because of the reboot. I have not run Safe Mode long enough to replicate the issue.

Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot? I suppose I can just disable Face Unlock but I find it quite handy. It seems to be a little bit different than the plethora of other Nexus 5 camera / Smart Unlock problems I have been reading up on.
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] vn800art:
Well, installed the 6.3 update on my unrooted Shield , showing in the changelog that finally Tidal can stream music in hi-fi res. Nevertheless nothing has changed, in the Tidal app (Android Tv, obtained from the Play Store and registered with my payied account ) in the settings it shows Hi-fi quality, but I get Pcm 48kbps, 2 channel music signal. Nothing more.

At the contrary in my Marantz Avr, the same service active through the Heos App, gives me 320kbps AAC 2channels, at least.

What is the reason for this? Is there a setting I should adapt, to have the same quality as in my Avr on the Shield?

Thanks for your interest

Check this topic: forums.geforce.com/default/topic/1033748/shield-tv/tidal-hifi-native-app-vs-tidal-hifi-airplay-from-iphone/

I am using PLAY-Fi app on Samsung Galaxy 8 phone with TIDAL Hi-Fi to stream music to ANTHEM MRX 720. The sound is nearly flawless.

I tried NVDIA Shield connected using HDMI to ANTHEM MRX 720 with TIDAL on and HiFi streaming and sound was abosulutely terrible. There might be a bug in their software I have no other explaination for this.
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] vn800art:
Thanks, at least I am not alone! I will try uninstall /reinstall the Tidal app, but want to tell I have made an extensive post on GeForce forum, in the thread regarding the 6.3 update.

I have also asked what quality we do have to expect from Nvidia to Avr.

Tidal app has been released for Google Tv one month ago, so everything is new.

I have seen the article you mentioned, but it is not referred to this update.

Thanks for the heads up to the app on the phone you use, will try with other equipment in the house.

Hope we will sort this out, not a big problem, but as we have support and pay a subscription, I like to have gear working properly. Nvidia has big long term support for this hardware, so I am confident.

Regards

Alessandro
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] vn800art:
Red better the other thread you mentioned. Similar outcome. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the App, no changes. The different audible quality is high. The reply from Nvidia on Geforce is not sufficient.

Do you know if the Shield can pass AAC through its Hdmi output?

Regards

Alessandro
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] Chippy_boy:
I know this is an old post, so maybe you've figured this out already? But in case you haven't, the answer is that 48k PCM *is* HiFi.

CD quality is 44.1 k PCM, by comparison.

What's confusing you I think is that 48k PCM does not mean 48k bits/second, it means 48k samples per second, and 16 bit samples at that. Per channel. So the bit rate for CD, for example is 44,100 x 16 bit x 2 = 1,411,200 bps. or 1,411 kbps.

It would be ideal if the Shield output just that, but as I understand it, the Shield upscales to 48k instead of outputting at the native 44.1k So it's outputting at 1,536 kbps!

Compare to the lesser 320 kps AAC to which you refer!
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] vn800art:
Here I am! Thanks for your interest! Problem is to my ears AAC sounds significantly better than PCM. I asked also if someone could tell me how to avoid this conversion (if it is possible), which at this point looks to me the reason for my disappointment.

Regards

Alessandro
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] Chippy_boy:
Very strange. You see AAC is a lossy format like MP3, whereas PCM is lossless.

OK 320 kpbs AAC usually sounds pretty good, because that's a high bit rate for a lossy format, but it's lossy all the same. Whereas PCM is the format the source is almost certainly recorded in.

It's unfortunate that the Shield outputs everything at 48 kHz, but even so, the conversion of 44.1 k PCM to 48 k PCM should introduce far less distortion that conversion to 320 k AAC.
[Shield Android TV Themes and Apps] vn800art:
Listen, if I get Tidal out of my Marantz, it says it has AAC as input format, 2 channels. What I believe is that Tidal is transmitting AAC indeed, wereas Shield is transcoding this to PCM. This conversion worsen the audio somewhere, so bad that at my non Audiophile earing, it's fairly noticeable. And you must trust me, I often listen to 320kbps Mp3 internet radios, some are good, some are better (depends on encoders and audio processing). When I find some AAC Www radio even at 160kbps, they are significantly the best ones in the lot. Thre aren't not so many.

So, as I usually use Shield for everything streaming related, I would have liked to use it for Tidal also, but this as of today, is not the case.

Regards

Alessandro

[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] Dario.V78:
I'm experiencing an annoying issue on my XZ1 (rev4): mobile data sometimes drops and the only way to restore it is rebooting the device. Usually it happens when travelling by car.

Sometimes i also lose mobile network (not only data but also voice!) and the solution is the same: rebooting the device.

Country: italy

Provider: 3ITA

Device config: mono sim.

I searched online and someone reports this to be a hardware problem, but i'm not sure because hardware problems are not likely to be solved with a reboot.

Is anyone experiencing such issue?

Has anyone more information about such issue?

Note: the strength of the mobile signal is also fluctuating a little bit.

Maybe you are right, but all phones have problems. Even the most prised ones.

Other than this issue I really love this Sony device, and to be honest it's hard to find a issue-free device which may replace it.

I don't experience any other issue other than this one and i secretely hope this to be a software problem or something related to my provider (which is known to have problems in this period, due to the merge between two providers which is causing lot of roaming troubles).

This morning i cheked again and everithing was fine, even after travelling to my office by car.

I'm asking here for some more information, but it seems no one is affected other than you and me.

I'm going to test a sim card from another provider for a short period to verify improvements.

[Magisk] leathan:
The prolonged boot time being that spam screen you see on boot up after liberating it. The way I understand it in order to run Magisk you need to have an unlocked bootloader so that it can modify the boot image file, do you then relock it? Id rather stick with freedom tbh... but also scared corporate breaks my device upon relock.

Point being to hide Magisk
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but no, you can't detect Magisk just by measuring the boot time.

And it's usually a bad idea to lock your bootloader again when doing modifications. The risk of messing up is big. And, IIRC, you'll also wipe your device when relocking... MagiskHide can hide the unlocked bootloader, so you shouldn't have to worry about that being detected either.

Haven't used this tool but I would look at this as a possible solution for locking bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
If you are planning to return or sell the device.

1. Do a factory reset.

2. Make sure OEM unlocking and USB debugging are set to ON in the developer options.

3. Reboot into bootloader mode.

4. Run "fastboot flashing lock"

5. Then run "fastboot flashing lock_critical

The last two commands will wipe your phone again. Your bootloader should then be locked.

If your not planning on returning or selling your device. Then just leave it unlocked. That is all ?
