[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] MrElectrifyer:
Hey man, it appears that I spoke too soon regarding Bixby. As I feared, it is not working as it should due to my device model number not being in the CSC Region. For extremely basic commands like "Open Samsung Internet" or "Open Settings", it now shows the following:

[IMG="Bixby's new way of saying "Ok, I canceled it""]https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4751560&stc=1&d=1556711549[/IMG]

Similar situations where it was always saying "Ok, I canceled it" like I mentioned earlier. Whereas before, I could, for example, simply say "Rogers Bank" to do ALL of the following:

• Open Samsung Internet

• Create a new tab

• Navigate to my Rogers Bank bookmark

Then Samsung Internet automatically authenticates me via biometrics and logs me into my Rogers Bank account.​

Please would you happen to have any suggestions on fixing this? Or would you happen to know of an Oreo-based SM-N950F ROM that's near stock Samsung Experience? Doesn't necessarily have to be fully up to date. Thanks in advance.

As a rule, I use neither SMS or MMS, but need to send Contact details by email frequently.

I note that people have previously asked how to change the Send as vCard behavior to use email accounts instead of MMS. But the questions are a little old now.

Does anyone have an answer yet, either for WM6.0 Smartphone or WM6.1 Touchscreen?

Thx.

Yes, this is not existing. Unbelievable !

I'm using a workaround for this.

1st/ start a send vcard (MMS)

2nd/ the card is stored in folder /temp. Filename seems always to be 'me.vcf'

3rd/ attach it to a normal email using whatever kind of file explorer !!

I'm open to any kind of better solution or workaround !

[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] mlav:
Hi,

I'm new to Z2 play ROM/TWRP things and here's my issue on a XT 1710-01 (on retca channel):

After unlocking my bootloader, I've installed TWRP 64 bits and did a backup before doing anything else, but for whatever reason, restoring it didn't work. I just thought then that I could re-flash the retail stock ROM available at https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/albus/official/RETAIL/ , which worked fine (phone boots fine, works fine and is still on retca channel, etc.), except that now, I'm unable to re-lock the bootloader, as I get a message like "signed boot.img required" (or something alike) on "fastboot oem lock" command.

I also get the "bad key" message on the unlock warning at boot time (see attached).

Here are the commands I used to reflash the stock ROM:

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7

Now, I'm just wondering if I missed something or is it just that the stock ROM I reflashed is not the good one (or just unsigned) . Any help would be appreciate.

Thanks.

[MENTION=426884]KirMit[/MENTION] Thanks for the follow-up.

Do you know if it would be an option for me to try to find a complete ROM/backup made by someone with the exact same model (so presumably, with the signed boot.img), flash/restore this backup on my unit and then try to relock the bootloader?
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] Paulinga:
I have the same problem. Cannot find a signed boot.img

If anyone can think of a solution I would be totally interested in hearing about it.

I can live with this phone with the bootloader unlocked, but I may need to sell it, so I need to get rid of that warning screen.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] The Analog Kid:
You can get rid of the warning screen, but you can't get rid of the N/A-Bad Key sign, so you must make your own boot logo (meant to cover those nasty letters with a white background) and ADB flash it as logo.bin... that's if you don't have TWRP recovery; in such case you can use a flashable zip for that matter.

[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] Cupcake 1.5:
Doesn't work on my Z2p. My oem unlock is always greyed out even after trying the instructions in this video with 3 different firmwares.

For anyone who doesn't understand what's going on in the video.

1)flash the firmware.

2)flash twrp, backup boot & system.

3) restore boot and system and reboot

4) go to developer options and, enable oem unlocking

5) return to bootloader and run the lock bootloader bat file.

6)done your locked.

Or if like in my case, it does not work, oem unlocking is still greyed out.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] Cupcake 1.5:
I managed to ungrey oem unlocking but, only by flashing magisk. Somehow magisk ungreys oem unlock? Unfortunately, we cannot lock bootloader with magisk installed. Once magisk is uninstalled, oem unlocking is greyed out again?

I think I know how to get around this, adb pull boot.img that magisk has modified. Full unroot magisk, preferably with magisk uninstall zip. Then fastboot flash the patched boot image and run bootloader lock with the OEM unlock switch set.

---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

And I am locked, it worked. I now know how to lock my bootloader even when the video guide above fails to remove the greyed out oem switch.

1)flash the firmware.

2)flash twrp, backup boot & system.

3) restore boot and system

4)flash magisk and reboot

6) back up boot.img to pc

7) flash magisk uninstall zip

8)fastboot flash stock recovery

9) fastboot flash magisk modified boot

10)boot device and enable oem unlocking

11) reboot to bootloader and run bootloader lock bat file

11) oem locked!

By the way, easiest way to back up boot is use the app "partition backup & restore". Be sure to change the setting to save as img and not archive.
[Moto Z2 Play  Questions & Answers] TravellingGuy:
Yes! This!

I've never been able to go back to stock and relocking the bootloader because the OEM Unlock was always greyed out. Using the patched boot.img, as [MENTION=7908282]Cupcake 1.5[/MENTION] explains allowed me to lock my bootloader again.

Thank you!

It doesn't seem to be software or ROM issue,

Still, If you are confused and think it's software issue,

Take screenshot and move it to another device, if it's shown alright in other device, then ROM/software is okay..

For hardware issue,

Display looks good in photo,

may be disassembling and reassembling display can do work, but there is many things inside hardware, can't say..

Hello forum!

I have a device from a silicone developer and WIN10x64. With this device comes the driver with a good digital signature. But I need to rename the device name "silicone cp210x" to my name "Example" in the device's installation driver. I'm using a utility - CustomUSBDriverWizard.exe to create a renamed installation driver, but the installer is created without a digital signature ".cat" file. Is there a way to create my digital signature for Windows or to adapt the driver certificate for the name of the "silicone cp210x" for my name "Example"?

Disable digital signature verification or contact Microsoft for the digital signature of the driver with my name - these options do not need me. Perhaps there is a program for editing digital signatures of drivers or creating new digital signatures based on an inf. and sys. file?

Hi everyone.

First of all, I`ve searched the forums for this type of threads, and couldn`t find any.

Secondly, I`m thinking on changing my Mate 10 Pro with a Note 8 device. What I want to know if there`s someone who made this switch so far and if not, I need someone to tell me about Note 8 software performance and battery with more than moderate usage : social apps (fb ,instagram) , chat apps ( WA, FB messenger, texts ), about 1H calls daily, news apps, youtube 1H daily, WITHOUT games.

The Mate 10 Pro`s battery is excellent, I get at least 24 hours daily, and this is what I like the most. But here comes the software. I keep app animations at X1.5 and still encounter stutters and freezes and a bit of lag. And this is what I hate the most on it.

Can someone please tell me how`s their Note8 running so far after 2-3-4 months?

Thank you very much for your answer.

Will last most of the day with average use*

Hey maybe i can help you with my experience

3 of my Friends have the Mate 10 Pro and i own a Note 8. So you can think that we lay down the Devices side by side and test very much. Some Things i can say so far..

Display: Note 8 has definitive the better Display. Colors, Contrast and the overall visual Qualitiy is amazing. The Mate 10 have, compared to the Note 8, a bit milky Display with low Contrast (For my personal opinion)

Battery: Yes, The Mate 10 can run a bit longer then the Note 8. But for me, this is not the Big Point, cause i load every 2. Day my Device.

Performance: Compared to the Mate 10, i think the Note 8 runs better and smoother. Scrolling performance with the Mate is not so good, often little Lags and things like that.

Camera: For my personal opinion, both Cameras have there best and worst cases. No Camera is better then the other, but both of the cameras have there own special things where they can Rock the Rest away.

Updates: No Commentary.. very Bad. You should know that with Samsung. But Things getting Better in Time.. but very slow.

Sound: Mate 10 Pro's Stereo Spekaer are compared to the Note 8 a HUGE difference. The Mate Speakers are fedinitly better then the Note Speaker. But with Headset on.. i think the Note do Things better but i'm rooted anyway..so i use Viper4Arise :D Maybe you sould ask someone else for Sound things..

So for me, the Note 8 is the very better Device overall.

Hope this few things may help you. When you have questions or you want more comparision, write me..

Greetings :)

Hey I own a note 8 from his launch and a few days ago I bought mate 10 pro bla l29 so...

1) Note 8 superior in most case screen, camera Samsung experience, no updates if you like update you have to WAIT

2) Huawei mate 10 pro battery life awesome

Great build quality 2 updates in the past week

Both work great. No lags

My opinion as I own both devices

Go for note but if you like and you're use to it emui stay with Mate 10 pro

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] smilirulz:
Thanks for your comparison. I don`t care about the camera, since both of them are pretty good ( I can say that I`ve tested the Note 8 in a shop for 30 minutes and the Pro made better pictures). I`m interested in the battery ( 3300 mAH with QHD+ screen vs 4000 mAH with FHD+ screen ). Also, from my experience with phones, my eyes don`t really notice the differences between screens. i can get used to any screen in a short time. Also, I also wanna know if the software experience from the Note 8 tends go be the same as S8+ ( which is really bad )
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Treasarion:
'' I`m interested in the battery ( 3300 mAH with QHD+ screen vs 4000 mAH with FHD+ screen )''

I use every Day QHD+ with an very colorful Wallpaper with much and intense Colors..so no black or dark Background all the way. I can make you Screenshots with my Batterylife but i think this is a thing where every person get another experience, cause of his personal usage. My usage case is mostly like yours, except the phone call duration. I can say you (with my Rom (Ironman Rom nearly stock) and Kernel(Xceed)) i have 7.5 - 8 hrs SOT all the Days. The Mate is in comparison with the Note in this case better. I talk about 2-3hrs more SOT. So its your opinion where your priority is. Anyway i compared the Mate and the Note so far but never used a Mate longer then lets say about 4 hrs. So maybe my results are a bit diffrent to the real case. Anyway the Softwarelags from the Mate are not lucky and i hope for my Friends with these Devices Huawei will fix this in the next Updates. For me is that a realy bad thing when i buy a new phone and get srcolling Lag and other things. But maybe they installed some crap and the lag comes from 3rd party Apps or bad configurated system. I dondt know, what i see was okay so far from the Apps.

'' Also, from my experience with phones, my eyes don`t really notice the differences between screens. i can get used to any screen in a short time.''

Okay thats a thing like the Batterylife things (for me). Its a personal thing and maybe your eyes can handle that. For me, Samsung is the best Display producer so far beside Appe Displays. I have never see any other Screen that can handle with that quality from Samsung. But one more time.. its more a personal impression that everybody make in a different way i guess.

''I also wanna know if the software experience from the Note 8 tends go be the same as S8+ ( which is really bad )''

I think so. I do not have a S8 or S8+. 2 Friends do have these Devices but i never looked closer on this, cause the Software is mostly the same for my experience. The Note have the Spen feautures but i cant see if there are big other things where are Note Special feautures. If i'm wrong, then please somebody correct me. And yes, the cam but this is not the reason for you i guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nick216ohio:
Apples displays made by Samsung. Goind points made though.

This part not geared toward you, just facts.

Apple and Samsung= Best all around features

LG= Best Audio

Mate/Others= Best Battery

Pixel/Sony= Best Camera/-Updates Sony

OnePlus= Best Root/Roms

You take all this and decide which is most important to you. They all make pretty good phones. Some just have better things then others. IMO Note 8 best overall. But my opinion may be biased. There's a reason you search top ten phones and Note 8/Apple always #1 or #2. I wish we could have a phone that had all these best highlighted feautures into one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] intruda119:
If I didn't get my note for free(ish) I would be using Huawei mate. Battery life is subjective but same type of use on my mate 9 would easily get me 1 1/2 days.

Before note 8 my last daily Samsung was note 4. Same issue I had then is the same now. Phone does have a slight lag to it. If coming from Huawei and maybe pixel you will notice it. Gets worse over time.

I forgot what lag was using nexus and mate 8/9 for the last few years.

Great phone but once you get pass the non essentials I personally would go for Huawei. Emui is the biggest con of Huawei products.

Huawei sucks with updates also.

How comes Samsung devices lag over time? Is something wearing out inside of them ? Jk
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] j_hansen:
they don't, it's owners that start lagging in looking after their devices
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
I have had samsung devices since S3, NEVER seen that lag over time, really, I do not know where or whom the people claiming these lags get the devices from, I am talking just about my experiences with 6 different REAL samsung flagship devices Obtained through official distribuitors
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] intruda119:
Lag might be a harsh word to use but there are slight system hangups that happen. Don't take my casual experience, I'm nobody. Plenty of techie youtubers and including xda, post fixes for that imaginary lag in every forum. It's okay every phone has it's issues.

I've also purchased and owned every Galaxy since the first. Every high end ssung tablet under 12 inches. WTF does thst matter, they all experience it. This is my personal experience. Can't speak for other folks. I do install some form of Nexus/Google/pixel or Nova launcher so maybe my experience is different. I don't lower screen or limit things so take that for what it's worth also. I would hope 5he first thing anyone who knows what xda is, turns the animations up.

There is a clear difference between Nexus/pixel vs Samsung(or any other oem) flagships. There is a difference between Huawei mate(strict resource management) and vs the note.

With that being said, Samsung makes the best phones. Note 8 does everything with the best screen plus amazing specs. It's just not as fluid. Been using since release. It's not a laggy mess like a cheap prepaid phone . Far from that.

My biggest thing while using Huawei was not needing a custom rom. Once I got past emui sucks and having to pay to get steady updates early, I never looked back.

Note. If all the Knox and losing important resale features I would be flashing like the good ol days. Every day. Custom roms would benefit this phone.

Fingerprint sensor alone is worth keeping the mate.

My last point and them I'm out of the convo. You asked this question in the note 8 section. Likely hood of getting unbiased opinion are very slim. You will have some folks who keep it real. You'll have some that get 10+ of sot, no lag, perfect fingerprint placement, etc.

All in all

Take it all with a dump truck full of salt. If you want to trade let me know. Cash from my end.

And what would be a black market unofficial distribution source.
