I find (this being my first oled) that it should be able to go darker. Maybe it would mess with pixel response times but nonetheless my opinion.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Real Life Review] dinysam:
I had the same problem with my new S9 in Australia. While I was talking on a call minute or so it would go silent for the other party for about 6 seconds then come back. I had only had the phone for 5 days so took it back to Harvey Norman. After checking with their Samsung Franchisee, they exchanged the phone but only because it was less than 15 days from purchase. Still testing the replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Real Life Review] Exit32:
Periods of silence during calls

My wife and I each bought a new Samsung S9 phone on March 16 at an Xfinity Mobile store near Boston. Both phones were activated with new SIM cards. Both phones experience random "dead air" lasting from three to 10 seconds during a call. This is very annoying. We have turned off VoLTE calling and Global Networks in settings. No difference.

Now waiting for Samsung's firmware update and hoping this will fix the problem.

I have tried 3 Galaxy S9s over six weeks. All 3 have had multiple intermittent silences of about 6 seconds each during calls. I MAY have a workaround for Australians. I have changed service provider to Telstra (Instead of an Aldimobile) with VOLTE OFF for my SIM#.

On Day 2 with NO call drops or silences so far. SEEMS that the network Telstra rent to AldiMobile in Australia is incompatible with the Samsung Galaxy S9 as may be other networks reported:

SILENCES ON S9 CALLS REPORTED ON THESE NETWORKS:

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Real Life Review] LegalShare:
I've got mine for about a month and had serious problems with call quality. I could understand everyone perfectly but the other side sometimes wasn't even able to guess what I was saying. Problem got solved for me by disabling WiFi calling. After that calls are crystal clear at both sides.

I've a german SIM free phone (not bought at any provider) and was able to enable WiFi calling as well as VoLTE. Both were working. At least kind of... :rolleyes: I'm on the latest software update right now and the bug still appears when I use WiFi calling. Maybe it is not the S9 which causes the problem but my WiFi at home. I couldn't test with another WiFi. Perhaps I'll find the time some day...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Real Life Review] nasosgr:
Same issue for me.. I make a call and realize that they have answered the phone 15 seconds ago but i do not hear anything and i close the phone. When i call back 2nd time usually i can hear them.

Crazy bug for such an expensive and quality phone...

Better than my S7 so far; S9 actually gets reception in my bathroom at work but my S7 didn't. But worse than my Pixel 1; it could load videos in the bathroom and had 3G in an underground pub, yet my S9 respectively couldn't and didn't have any data connection.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Real Life Review] Sib1985:
definitely samsung had improved a lot over numerous iterations and should deserve a pat in the back for finally bringing stereo speaker output to its phones. however, the S9 isn't the best, but also no slouch.

from scale 1 to 10 , i'd rate :

clarity : 8

bass : 5

hint : activate the dolby atmos feature and tweak to your liking, you'll be surprised how much it can improve the sound quality!

:good:
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Real Life Review] yunanda_keren:
dolby atmos speaker tweaked by AKG is awesome..
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Real Life Review] amchandr:
Best Speaker experience in S series. Thumbs Up. I am a S series fan and held all S series from the start (except S6 & S8). I hold the S9 256 gb version.. S9 is miles better than any phone on this planet with the optimized user experience in all categories (form factor, weight, sound, video, game, browsing, etc....) The only thing I see it should have been 6 gb ram inorder to be futuristic. The flagships getting released in 2019 will have 6/8gb ram as standard.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Real Life Review] SHOTTTTER:
Is cool

The sound is really good. It's not the best I think, there are others with more bass? But the epicness is enough for me. Watching Anime battles or WHATEVER you want is really cool with dolby.

And it's really loud.

9/11
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Real Life Review] creamdotcom:
Quality and clarity is outstanding I give it a eight 8

I just thought Dolby Atmos would have a deeper affect than it does but I am in no ways dissatisfied.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Real Life Review] Pyknus:
It has such clarity, watching movies with Dolby Atmos activated is amazing!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Real Life Review] ainax:
I got the Samsung Galaxy S9 at the beginning of the month and one of my biggest disappointement is the mic quality in speakerphone mode, when using a VoIP app or VoLTE (when the HQ sound is on).

The noise cancellation sounds terrible, other people hear my voice muffled or just cannot hear me... and Samsung seems to give no **** about that (it could be a software problem?). (I'm running Pie, final version).

Here are some threads on other forums of people experiencing the same problem:

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Real Life Review] skiddingus:
This has been an ongoing problem through several of the Galaxy phones now. I've gone on numerous expeditions trying to fix it. Verizon will even offer to replace the phone but it doesn't help. For anyone not familiar with the problem, try calling someone while HD voice is enabled. I'm on Verizon. They call it VoLTE but I believe other carriers have similar issues with the Galaxy phones. While on the call, if I turn on speakerphone the person I am talking to will not be able to hear me or I will be extremely muffled like I am under water. I know it is a software bug because the speakerphone works perfectly if you disable HD voice and use the 1X cellular connection for the call. Only 4G calls have the issue. My wife and I both have S9 phones and Verizon service. You would think for what we paid for these phones and how much we pay each month that someone could get a speakerphone to work properly.

I started the process of updating to Feb security patch. It fails just before it finishes installing. Is this because I have the bootloader and cridical bootloader unlocked? Would relocking them both fix this issue?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dratsablive:
No I have a full unlocked bootloader, if it failed, more than likely you are not stock.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] chadhoard:
I do believe I am on stock. This happened last month. I ended up having to use the tool kit to flash the Jan factory image. Rather not do that again and start from scratch. Plus I do not want to do this every time there is an update.

How can i make sure I am 100% stock, or get myself back to 100% stock?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
If your rooted or have twrp installed, the OTA will fail. Do you have either of those?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] chadhoard:
I was rooted with twrp, but when I flashed the factory image last month, I believe I removed twrp and went back to stock recovery. I have yet to re-root since all of that mess last month.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
Ok. If you have run both bootloader unlock commands.....

fastboot flashing unlock

And

fastboot flashing unlock_critical

Then why not just fastboot the factory image? You can do it without wiping data :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] chadhoard:
Sorry, don't remember why I did what I did last month. I just want to get up to date with Feb. and not have to deal with it failing next month. I am pretty certain I am not root and have stock recovery. I am debating if I should relock the bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] TheSt33v:
Relocking the bootloader will not help you. In fact, if you relock the bootloader, you are removing your ability to correct whatever is causing the update to fail. Also, unlike some older devices, relocking will wipe your data, so there's that. Based on what you've said so far, I'm not quite sure why the update is failing, so I echo the recommendation that has been made already to use the factory image to update. Just remove the -w flag in the batch file before using it to avoid wiping your data.

Last night I was able to ADB into recovery. Then ADB sideload the OTA.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Az Biker:
Follow these steps, I've been using them since early 8.0 and never had an issue.

If you want to remain 100% stock, ONLY fastboot the Feb factory image and skip the rest of the steps.

If you want to be fully loaded' Feb update, TWRP, Cust Kernel, Root, follow all the steps

They're pretty detailed, and easy to follow.

[Samsung Gear S3] jsp91470:
We've all heard the tales of woe caused by the Tizen 3.0 update and its effect on battery usage. This was (at least in my experience) mostly, but not completely, fixed by the later Tizen update, but battery life was still noticeably less than before 3.0. One other thing the 3.0 update did was break the Weather app. This went unfixed for a long time, until finally last week there was an update for it on Samsung Apps. This fixed Weather, but I also noticed that battery life is improved at least to the point it was before 3.0. Anyone else notice this? I wonder if the broken Weather app was constantly trying to download weather data, therefore eating battery.
[Samsung Gear S3] gho5t82:
Is that why my weather wasnt updating automatically or did i have a setting wrong?

Hi all,

I hope this is the right forum for this, I am quite new to android / linux kernel stuff.

I've trying to get LineageOS 14.1 (konstakang.com/devices/rpi3/CM14.1/) running on a Raspberry Pi 3 and it's going quite well, but I have small issues with distorted screens.

This is the basic set up:

- Raspi3 with LineagoOS 14.1

- 800x600 screen (DLC0800BIG, 8") using HDMI Connector

- FT5406 Touchscreen

What I did already:

- changed the resolution from 800x480 to 800x600 in build.prop which was the main improvement

- played around with different raspi hdmi_modes (/boot/config.txt), but they dont really seem to have an impact

- wrote/adapted touch driver

What's not working:

I think the screenshots / photos illustrate it best.

1. Difference between screenshot using adb screencap and what's actually seen on the screen

2. When loading any app sideway stripes

3. Switch between Apps

4. Flickering line (salt and pepper noise)

All these issues do not happen on a differen OS (Raspian, Ubuntu) and the 2. does not happen with the original raspi resolution 800x480 so I am reasonably hopeful it's just some small setting somewhere that doesn't match.

Thanks for reading,

Dominik
