[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Conito11:
Hi guys

I'm not discovering the fire but I want to make a little contribution for those who has bad sot (I was really annoying for me because I can understand the upsets users ones), this was my discoveries:

The first one and most important:

It seems that the phone is programmed for a certain time of use, I mean it has a maximum time for sot: 6 - 9 hrs so you have to use that time to spend it on screen time because the phone also uses the battery for other stuffs. So if you pretend to get 6 hours or more in more than 1 day you will become mad and taking the phone and throwing it throw the window.

The second one:

Continuing with the last point doesn't matter if you try to save battery reducing resolution or stuffs like that. I use every day performance mode at max resolution and sound quality. The important thing is manage very well the brightness so disable the 10%extra from performance mode. Actually I could reach 6 hours at 1% with a intensive use with wify, data, gps and stuff like that.

The third one:

It is unuseful try to disable things and apps from the phone, they are not important on battery usage except for brightness and (at least for me) AOD. This one drains my battery and I really don't know what to do with this so it is disabled for me.

And the fourth and last one:

It seems that the battery needs a intensive usage in order to get it max potential. Some days ago I use the phone heavily charging it with the dex dock and using the interface and I noticed before that the battery expand it life.

Well, I'm testing if a dark theme is useful or not in order to get better sot but mean while I'm pretty happy with the battery life (40 days of usage); at beginning was very upset with this.

Hope to be useful for anyone.

Cheers and my best regards and thankfulness for the help of the community.

What's this 10% extra thing you are referring to?

My wife's default Note 8 gets approximately 5.5 hours SOT mine 6.5 to 8.5 SOT. She uses Facebook and the trash associated with it l and light themes. I don't,.also location on mine is gps only.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
He is talking about the 10% increase of brightness beyond normal in entertainment mode

Delete her fb app and use xda light version of fb. Regular offical app reminds me of my ex.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Limeybastard:
I advised her, but she doesn't care about getting more sot. That's all she uses the phone for I think, Facebook and Candy crush. Both of which are rubbish.

[General Questions and Answers] BT_zaz:
i want my 360 qiku n5 cellphone to use the tf card as an internalSD card, and also link to the /data/data diretory,so that I can make the storage more sufficient.

i have so many app to install, and the app use much space consuming up the internal space,leaving the tf card empty.

i'd tried making tf card ext4 and mounted to /mnt/sdcard-ext,and maked a link "ln -s /mnt/sdcard-ext/data /data/data",but the apps just crashed as soon as they started.then i deleted the link and cellphone return normal.

after try i found using the "su, mount" script to mount tf card on any directory,the nornal apps which do not use "su" can't read the mount point,I think that's why i link the tf card to /data/data but apps could not start. So how can i solve this problem?I use the supersu as the root and have allready turn off the "Mount namespace separation" option.

And how can i make a startup autorun script on the android6 phone?
[General Questions and Answers] BT_zaz:
Anybody help me please?
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
This will not work how you want. Apps on SD cards only work with Googles new feature to make the sdcard as internal storage. But even that is buggy due to the sdcard code that has never been made to work for apps on sdcard.

So I know technology is advancing and it has been said that as soon as you buy one piece of tech it's already out of date.

On March 27th, Huawei will announce the new P20 phone. It supposedly has triple cameras, 40mpxl resolution, 5 x zoom, better AI and possibly full screen display. So do you feel like you rushed into buying your Mate 10 and now you wish you waited for the P20? Sounds like an impressive phone.

I personally paid £700 for my 128gb Mate 10. The most I have ever spent on a phone in my entire life and don't intend to spend that much again. I am wondering if I rushed too soon. But how long is one expected to wait? ?

No regrets with mate 10 (not pro) p series is equivalent to galaxy s series and mate is equivalent to note series.

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] cocagenda2:
if im honest mate 10 pro looks gorges and p20 probably wont be so good looking...and those 3 cameras i really dont care about since this is my first phone with more then one main camera..pictures are way better then my xperias that i had before so im quite happy with the device. :)
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] jaseman:
My Mate 10 (non Pro) is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow..2/12/18. No regrets! Of course this is assuming that the phone works well on T-Mobile with no glaring bugs/flaws! I hardly ever take pictures unless on vacation so I think the whole camera hoopla is way overblown anyway. The Mate 10 ticks all my boxes and then some. Actually I would prefer a single lens camera but, this phone has all the other things I want. In fact it's getting harder and harder to find the phone I want, so I'm hoping the Mate 10 works out to be the great phone I hope it is and I plan to hang on to this one for quite some time.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] skoobee:
Bought my mate 10 pro today knowing the p11/20 will be released soon. It will be significantly more expensive and I don't think the advances will be significant. So no regrets
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Aethergr:
I bought mine on January at 799€. At first i was excited having a late 2017 flagship thinking it's 10nm kirin 970 was cutting-edge technology and the AI NPU was woooaaw! I thought i'ld be futureproof for at least 2-3 years. Then boom the news came about the new Exynos and SD 845 supporting hdr10 capture, higher cpu/gpu frequencies, higher framerate encode/decode 4k 60fps+ and more. I really feel that i wasted my money on a late 2017 SoC that cant even shoot at 60fps 4k. Not to mention i thought the NPU would be more usefull.. Maybe adding more scenes via updates that its camera can recognise? or huawei's own assistant on the phone? Nothing.. Just stability after stabilty updates.

I think i'll be selling it soon before it depreciates hard. Maybe around 700 so i can get a device with a SoC that packs more futureproof features.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] wooley4766:
There will be no soc or device that will be future proof. The technology goes so fast that there will be a faster/better one every time...

I am very happy with my mate 10... ?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] SkyboneNoya:
You might be happy with the next Pixel phone but you'll be waiting till fall and then buyers remorse will kick in again next spring or don't wait and buy an S9 and you'll still be envious. :laugh: That's just how tech works!

Talk about bloatware. I'm glad Huawei doesn't have an assistant. Will Samsung even have an AI chip with the S9? I know competition is good and all but there are more important problems to tackle like a unified RCS messenger! :D
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] mdjishadk:
Never. Because I got the Pro for 330$
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Bordo_Bereli51:
I like Mate 10 Pro due to ui-performance. Samsung just have too much bloatware. Yes with root it can be removed but when it comes to warranty, the samsung employe will tell you: nope my friend warranty void knox 0x1 get the hell out of here while htc, huawei or even sony exchanges phones with unlocked bootloader and root. (sony exchanged my brothers phone even with unlocked bootloader and root. Plus they unlocked the sim network :eek:) higher cpu frequencies does not mean higher performance. Its just about architecture, its about optimization. Radeon RX 480 with low gpu frequencies beats GTX 1060 in vulkan games example. iPhones iOS is very optimised for their phones no stutter etc. I remember they day that I had Galaxy S4 since the release. The UI was stuttering due to touchwiz not optimized. But what I regret buying Mate 10 pro is: Its extrem easy brickable. Just edit build.prop and boom, you have bootloop and FRP locked ---> flashing in fastboot not working anymore. But as I know how to unbrick it I continued :D But yeah, dolby atmos oreo and v4a is not working on Mate 10 Pro after so many attempts.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] warea:
No.

Because i knew from the start when P20 will be released (March is the offical release but likely first week June it will take to release in international market except for USA. And by July the Honor 10 will be unveiled). I also know from past experience that the upgrade between P series and Mate series will not be major. I also expect to buy the P series for my wife instead. lol.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] shanume:
No, I love my Mate 10 pro Midnight blue :D because I think P20 will look like a iphone X to much with the notch! :P
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] DANIELWHITT:
As the pixel proves, more camera lenses doesn't mean a better picture, and I would say that, apart from design it will be the only changes....
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] low0915:
No, P20 is disappointing from the current leaks. And I don't care much about triple lens, you will not be using it very often.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Hanger4life:
mirror blue

I have the Midnight Blue also. It's the sickest color ive ever had on a phone. its like a shining mirror finish. Like Flossy say's..." feels good in the hands" (lady's.....)

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] madphone:
yes is do a bit. not because the p20 is going to be so much better. because there is already declining support on the mate 10 pro. so project treble didn't bring us anything yet. android 8.1 only for the p20, although it's out for months.

it's not tragic, but at least it's a bit shady and not putting a good light on the future of support.

The Situation

I am very very new to compiling TWRP (as in, I have never done it before) However, I am aware of the importance of a Linux installation and am familiar with using the command-line. Now, my PC is very limited on space, and therefor I have to cut corners wherever possible. I have found the possibility of using the Linux subsystem for Windows 10, but have no confirmation that this is even possible. But I am crossing my fingers.

What I need

Mapping of the partitions for the SM-S550TL

Help setting up this subsystem (It is utilizing Ubuntu, so that's a plus)

Any able-bodied people to help bring this to life

Thanks in advance to whoever reads this. Any help, no matter how small is deeply appreciated!

Hi guys, my G6 was recently blacklisted in Canada due to non payment...

At this point, is the phone locked? So it will need to be unlocked.

Or being blacklisted is another story? Like it will work again only if it had a new (different) iemi?

If so, can I change the iemi by myself? :)

Thanks

Why?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] dzdiode:
If so, why when I asked phone repair shops they said it can be fixed... They ask a lot of money for it.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] boomboomer:
Only way the owner can get the IMEI unblocked is to pay the network what you owe and ask them to revoke the block.

Discussion of IMEI is banned on XDA as it is illegal in many countries and the site doesn't want to be shut down.

The repair shops offer to replace the motherboard, which comes with a different IMEI number and costs a lot.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] coyot352:
Hello,

the imei can not be changed, and if it is it is perfectly illegal.

why not pay what you need and find in exchange a functional phone !?

It would be too easy not to pay off your debt and help you get around your operator's punishment
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] dzdiode:
Thanks guys for the replies.

Actually the phone I'm paying for it but I have made an important delay on one of my bills, personal issues... This is life :)

Now I'm paying for it but the carrier will unblock the imei in months... So nothing is illegal here.

But I understand and respect the fact that's we can't talk about it here.

Sorry!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] p7810456:
I recently had to replace my screen, which involved carrying over the wide angle and front cameras to the new frame. However, they were glued in so tightly that I broke the cables on them while taking them out, so I ordered a replacement. The replacement came and I tried to put it in, but they still won't work. Should I contact the seller (fixez.com), or is there any way I can fix it? Also, the screen replacement itself has issues with the tap, where you need to tap relatively hard for it to detect. This is not much of a problem for me since I tap hard enough for it to detect, but when my phone is on the bed, I need to tap with the full surface area of my thumb to get it to detect. Is there a way I could calibrate this or, agin, do I need to get a replacement from the seller? Thanks in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimothyGaray:
I recently purchased an MX10 Android TV Box running Android 7.1.2

It is supposed to be rooted and SuperSU came installed but when you run it, it reports that the SuperSU binary is not installed and SuperSU cannot install it. I've done a full factory reset but the image comes back broken like that.

I downloaded updated firmware for this box and the SuperSU zip file but I cannot get this box into recovery mode. Everything I've found says to stick a toothpick in the AV hole and power up the box. When I do that, the MX10 logo shows but then it pops up with "erasing" and then reboots. All that does is a full factory reset.

If I run Root Checker, it says I don't have root.

Anyone have any experience with this issue and this box? If I can't get into recovery mode then I can't fix SuperSU and/or update the firmware to one where I'm rooted.

The box otherwise seems to work ok with the exception that I cannot set a live wallpaper. I'm just not rooted.

Thanks for any help!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak69ize:
Yeah i just got mine yesterday and im having the same issue. I get a Root user account error with Root Checker Pro. Ive tried clearing data in the SU app but nothing. There is an update for SU in the Play Store but i read on Freaktab where someone said not to update SU app or it will give you a bootloop. I havent updated it yet cuz i wanted to do some more investigating but i really dont see the harm in just updating the app itself. I know updating the su binary will result in a bootloop because i updated the binary on my T95Z and got the bootloop. Ive been googling all day trying to find a TWRP.img file for the MX10 but have found nothing yet. Ive also been looking for a root method for this box as well but not sure what i should use. It would be nice if these each box had it own sub forum like the phones have.. would make life so much easier. lol

If you figure anything out i would appreciate if you would pass that info on.. will do likewise.

I'm in the same boat. Recieved my mx10 a week ago. Tried the tooth pick in the av port. Shows on screen 'erasing' and eventually factory defaults. No root

Have you updated the SU app? Not the su binary but the app from play store itself?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supergiulio:
Hi, actually I was looking to root the MX10 but for a simple reason:

all I want to to is to get a shutdown or power off button, but this seems missing on the MX10 .. !!! First time I see a box without the shutdown option.

I looked up for apps providing power off button but they all require root access and so don’t work on the out-of-the-box MX10.

Anyone has same need and a solution?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RADiuMOz:
Hi, I received my MX10, a few days ago and have the same problem (SuperSU issue).

I purchased it from GeekBuying, and posted on their blog, for the latest firmware update I could find: http://blog.geekbuying.com/2017/12/...r4-32gb-emmc-tv-box-firmware-update-20171214/

Really want to root it, so I can edit the keyboard/remote control files to map keys on the H18+ remote I bought at the same time as the MX10.

I haven't tried flashing different firmware (or booting into recovery). If/when I receive a reply to my post on the GeekBuying blog, I'll post here - but no idea if they'll reply.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak69ize:
Hey bud if you hold the power button down on the remote for about 5 seconds and it will bring the reboot menu up.. it has shut down and restart.

Do the same to boot up

Ok.. everyone else that was wondering about root.. looks like this is our answer.. no root.. no TWRP...... for now at least. This box is still fairly new so im

not giving up. It took 4-5 months for them to get root for Snapdragon S8 so who knows.. it may come for the MX10 one day too

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RADiuMOz:
Seems really odd that it would come with Super SU installed, and not be rooted. Then again, it also advertises (on GeekBuying.com - in case anyone purchased elsewhere) that it comes with Kodi pre-installed, and mine didn't.

---------- Post added at 12:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

Whereabouts did you get the firmware? Was it this one MX10_RK3328_KODI18.0_20171208.img ? Listed on this GeekBuying blog entry: http://blog.geekbuying.com/2017/12/...r4-32gb-emmc-tv-box-firmware-update-20171214/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak69ize:
Yeah i agree.. odd it ships with su installed but no root. Theres some fw's on this page.... ive downloaded just in case i ever need it... dont see why i would since there is no root though. lol

Hi mate,

Try my guide in the Media TV Box Amlogic forum. The recovery image is for TWRP. But you could try Philz or others. Worked on S912 and S905 so far fine.

https://xdaforums.com/android-stick...mlogic-s905x-s912x-faq-backup-switch-t3752897

No root? I suggest you follow backup instructions, take 3 backups - all paritions, boot only, recovery only.

Then you can extract the boot image from your backup and use that with Magisk to root your system. After Magisk modifies your boot image, reboot, and flash the modified package via TWRP bootable (see topic)

If you have anything you wish to contribute, please feel free to post anything you have learnt that you feel will help others.

Cheers mate!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RADiuMOz:
Hey [MENTION=2172164]flipmode_11[/MENTION] - which TWRP image should we use, please? In your post, you state to, "Download the X96 Media Player TWRP Recovery image...or a different device". As the X96 is S905X (from a quick Google - don't shoot me if I'm wrong!) and the MX10 is RK3328, the TWRP image for the X96 wouldn't work, would it? I took a look at the list of devices and can't find a matching device.

Cheers,

Richard.

---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------

Somethng that REALLY annoys me about the MX10, is that I can't get it to write to my external USB drive (NTFS). It worked just fine - out of the box - on my old MXIII-G, but the MX10 just won't write to it (Total Commander and an FTP server app I usually use in order to access it from my LAN). Is this because of some weird driver, or because of root (permissions... I checked under apps and it has access to storage - but of course it does, because it can read the drive)?

I'm probably not too fussed about rooting this thing, if I can just get external drives working with it.

I did read about Android not supporting NTFS, for write - but my old MXIII-G did, so I'm assuming this should, too. The only other thing I can think of, is that the MXIII-G had something in the firmware for writing to NTFS.

I can't see why there would be external USB drive support, but you can't write to it - I mean, it's a TV box, surely there are some other people out there who copy movies, etc. to an external drive on the box, to watch?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak69ize:
Ok so ive been on Samsung for the last 5-6 years and never had to backup things like boot.img, recovery.img cuz we have have odin, so there was never any need to...... so i just did a google search on how to do this but it only brings up ways to do it with root. Can you explain how to do this or link to a tut?

Also could i get a more in depth of using Magisk? I have it on my HTC M7 but i rarely ever play around with it... actually im root with SU on it. So i have to run Magisk on my MX10.. search for boot.img.. patch it.. flash some zip in twrp.. and how do i get twrp on the box.. through adb? I should know this as long as ive been rooting but root on U.S. snapdragon samsung phones is totally different since the bootloader cant be unlocked. Thanks for your info so far bro
