[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] chester_00:
Hi, I own a s9+ which I bought on ebay. I bought it for 201 dollars but the broken screen is not noticeable because it is in a corner. I want to buy a product like the one in the image, which includes the loka glue. Can I use loka on a broken screen, affect the AMOLED screen or cause some damage?

What do you think, is it convenient to use it?

Purchased this liquid dispersion screen protector (case friendly) on AliExpress (arrived 18-day after purchase).

Using the Spigen Neo Hybrid Galaxy S9 Plus Case. I read reports that this case is not compatible with the Whitedome screen protector (pops up the corners).

The no-name AliExpress SP I purchased fits well with the case:

I like to use my phone without a case. I bought a glass screen protector but was surprised to find that it did not cover the whole curved screen because it was "case friendly".

Are there any glass protectors that actually covers the whole curved screen?

Thank you

This is what you are looking for: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Nan...806.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.4e844c4drtRwzX

I purchased this and it was too big for any cases I used. Full coverage.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] ziriuz:
Thank you!, I just bought the one you suggested, I will let you know how it fits :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] b0uncyfr0:
Apologies to wake an old thread - but for the edge adhesives options - do they cover up a small part of the S9's corner/angle? Or does the adhesive sit just below the screen? I bought the s9 for the curved look, would hate for something to cover or reduce that look.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] shaggyskunk:
Probably depends on the Screen Protector you buy - But the edge only adhesives are a waste of money in my opinion - Even they start to allow dust etc to get under the screen protector - I tried Spigen & Bodyguards on my S8+ But eventually I switched to Whitestone Dome & wouldn't ever use anything else - My 2 cents ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] b0uncyfr0:
The whitestone seems like a good protector - but ta that price: it's simply too high.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] shaggyskunk:
Yeah it's not cheap - But you'll never need to buy another one! The one on my S9+ is perfect after a year & there's zero loss in Touch Sensitivity - Which is a problem with the edge only adhesives...

Figure out how much you might spend (waste) trying different cheaper alternatives... On devices that cost upwards of $1,000 - it's pretty cheap insurance ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] Dwillian:
I bought this screen protector for my S9+ and for my wife's S9+: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32858887498.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.79a94c4dz4WRk4

Installation was a bit tricky, but manageable. I watched numerous videos on how to install this type of screen protector and was able to successfully install it on the first try. We've had the protectors on for a couple months now and my wife and I are extremely happy with them. They work very well with our Pelican Voygager cases. Extremely good value too at $13 for two protectors, two glue, and one large UV light. The Whitestone dome does seem to have a better installation jig, but is far more expensive (currently on sale for $60 for the two pack).

Used the guide on here (https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-note8-android-oreo-update/) to flash my Sprint locked Note 8 and it worked first try no issues with the update or carrier settings after!

This update has passed SafetyNet so all the apps like Google Pay and Samsung Pay are working! This update is the same that will be released as far as i can tell it's just the manual way of installing it before its OTA from your carrier! Only difference is if your device is unlocked you may get a carrier boot screen and apps from the carrier its currently on!

I checked 2, 3, 5 times (!) that I have backup turned on and last backup on my Oreo (!) Mi A1 is from March 6 (yesterday)

I factory reset my phone and when trying to restore it - it suggests me a copy from my other (old) phone from February... Sounds like the date when I upgraded to Oreo...

Aaaarghhhhhh....

Surprisingly when I am (for test purposes) getting the restore from backup from my wife's Mi A1 (still 7.1.2) - it restores it correctly from the backup copy 6 hours ago. EXCEPT SMS (text messages) - they are gone not restored...

Hi,

I would like to dump the existing ROM on my Excalibur but do not manage to do it.

The bkondisk took runs and dumps data from the device but the OS img file seems to be corrupted.

Any idea?

A detailed guide (for the Hermes, but it's worked on my i-mate JAQ; I've not been bothered enough to do it on my Dash but it should work) is available here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
[HTC Excalibur] StefanSki:
This method seems to not working because the Excalibur hardware is different and the ROM is not written in the same type of hardware than Hermes.

Does anyone knows a solution?
[HTC Excalibur] GnatGoSplat:
I got that Hermes guide to work (thanks Kawinma).

What you have to do is substitute DSK1: (including the colon) everywhere the Hermes example has FLASHDR.

Took me a bit to figure that out.
[HTC Excalibur] StefanSki:
OK, I have tried disk DSK1 but not with the column. I'll have a try when at home.

Without source code, it's difficult, sometimes impossible to make any kind of stable custom ROM. The source code was released just a little while ago and the development went up a little bit. Nobody can tell you will be there or not a stable RR or LOS.

its funny how people dont seem to be able to keep track of time :)

mi max 2 was released in june/july last year, so its been out for 8-9 months now. so still several months to go until a full year...

the new LOS 14.1 version is already very close to bugfree, only LED blinking and SELinux state are missing.

Also, XenonHD dev said he will publish a new build very soon, with working FPS and most current bugs fixed.

So these two roms are already VERY close to official ;)

[Notes:

• I put this thread in this section because of the "Other" tag. If it is unrelated consider moving my post, thank you.

• This is an issue report for my device, I am not saying that everybody got the same. ]

Hello,

I got a battery issue on my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime for at least more than a year.

The problem is: almost everytime, my phone crash when arround 40% battery level. It's not an informatic crash but... I'm not sure. The phone just suddenly shut down, not as it ran out of battery, displaying the shutdown logo and going to sleep, it behave like I pulled off the battery.

This is not a battery misplacement problem because the shutdown doesn't happen a totally random way: it never triggered over 50% for now.

Moreover, the battery level goes wrong after such crash. Even after waiting some time with battery out of phone I got randomly a new battery percentage that will be either lower, same or even higher than when it crashed. So maybe the whole problem is due to a shift between real battery percentage and what phone determined.

I also noticed that when rebooting after the crash the phone speakers make a weird sound, a kind of "shhhhhhhh" even with silent mode enabled and no system sound, and when it happens phone recrash on booting (system) logo.

I personally don't think it's system's fault, because between the first time it happened and now I may have flashed at least 6 times my ROM and made various wipes. Also somebody getting the same phone model than me never got such problem, even tough he is not rooted and has recent firmware. In the end the problem getting worse and worse again (=more frequent) so I'm almost sure it's a material problem.

But which one? Is this directly battery's fault or is it captor's fault? Actually I threatened the battery very badly, it's true. But everything I did — overcharging, emptying battery at the time I thought that was a good thing because of a suppoesed memory effect like nickel batteries, using charger block from an older device with a bit different configuration — should have shortened the battery's life, however it's just like the battery is now discharging a bit faster but got a kind of danger zone where you're not sure that it will keep behaving normally, so much that some measurements and developing apps determined that my battery have a good health, that is maybe absolutely FALSE.

Talking about this danger zone, I also noticed something even stranger over all.

Depending of what I do, I got higher or lower chance to have my phone crashing under 40% level:

- If Wifi is enabled, the phone got arround a half more chance to shut down unexpectedly.

- This is worse when using data consuming app (i.e. Youtube)

- Using more hardware also increase this phenomenon (when using camera) and enabling flash instantaneously and almost everytime crash the phone.

Here are what I reported.

What do you think?
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Prime:
It has happened to me many times. So i normally keep it charging all the time to be safe.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Atronid:
All the time for real? Be careful, that's not a good practice. Unless you removed the battery first, this will get worse if you do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] rms112:
I have a similar but possibly unrelated problem.

If i charge upto 100%, the battery goes directly to 0 after around 50%.

If i charge upto 50%, then the battery drains rapidly after around 20%.

I don't think its a battery problem because its the same with two replacement batteries and a stock battery. (Or maybe I have a bad luck and bought ****ty batteries)

Will post a screenshot soon...

[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] :
I have this problem too. This is the batteries fault only.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] EdyCommentaries:
My device goes at 60%, 40%, etc. and then it starts repedeatly pressing the right side of my screen and not letting me tap the screen, so I lock it and unlock it very fast and I can use the touchscreen for a few moments, before it shuts down without the shutdown screen and makes a *tick* sound, almost like there was an electrical shock inside the battery. I have a PRF and TWRP 2.8.7.0. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] Atronid:
Got exactly the same problem. You can try to change the battery but in my opinion the only good solution would be to buy another phone. This is personally what I did, as this model gets old really early.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] :
I have this same exact problem and the only fixes according to me is to buy a new phone or replace the battery. Also I noticed that the battery of my device has bulged.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] FazPhantom:
RIP, I have the SM-G360T1, stock based custom ROM with TWRP 3.0.1 and this thing's started to give up. Same issues as the people above encountered. The phantom touches are getting wayyy more repetitive, the battery all of a sudden goes down to an extremely low percentage, even at medium to high percentages (such as 50-60%) and even shuts off without any notification. I also had cases where the phone would completely turn off with no shutdown animation AT ALL, plus a spontaneous but audible *TICK* that follows it. Device performance in general also started to horribly depreciate.

Well, to be fair, I had this device for 3 years and I guess it had its day. Time to upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] :
My device has started to shut off at 80% battery levels and even worse the device gives just about 25-30 min of SOT. Also stressing the device in any way.. games, YouTube et al just causes it to shut down. I now permanently have a battery pack connected to it at all times. But even after all this, the gives good standby time. Notably the device stand for 3+hrs on 3% battery.

Still my phone is in a pathetic condition. ?

Edit - I just got a new battery (aftermarket brand though) and the ghost touches along with sudden shutdown has gone. Also the OG battery was never touching the connectors properly or the battery placement design was not proper, cause the new aftermarket battery was not connected to the connectors properly.

Peace ?
[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime ROMs, Kernels, Recoverie] jeremeel2015:
i also got this problem on my sm-g360HU , try chaging different roms and buying a new battery pack, but still this sudden drain battery still exist, it seems like it's the hardware problem already.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mswlogo:
I bought this new off eBay for development only. I have no plans to Activate it.

I would love to just run RUU for Android 6, 7, or 8 as needed.

Which RUU's do I need for a 2PS6400

I'm confuse what this phone is. It was advertised as "Sprint Unlocked". It was brand new sealed.

I put an old Sprint SIM in it, just to get rid of some warnings and wasn't sure if it would help GPS quality by pinging towers. GPS is running pretty poorly. Runs fine on Deactivated M9.

It doesn't have any Sprint Crap on it, which is really nice.

I would like to avoid S-OFF and rooting if possible. But I don't mind using the ZIP RUU on the SD Card to switch.

I just noticed this thread of someone switching from Nougat to Marshmallow but he was S_OFF, Rooted, TWRP etc.

But based on the Video he posted to finally make it work, if he put the ZIP on the SD Card my recollection is S-OFF wouldn't matter.

Anything other than RUU makes me nervous trying to go backwards manually flashing old firmware with S-OFF (with partition changes etc.).

I've also lost S-OFF that I paid for in the M9. I don't mind at all in paying once, but I'm not paying multiple times.

Also it shows 2.42.651.66 Are their Android 7 updates I can apply?

If I check for software updates, it might kick off the Android 8 update and I may not be able to stop it. What are my options there?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Barracuz:
boot into download mode. If it was a true brand new sprint phone that was unlocked it would still have sprint apps. People on ebay are either buying new phones and flashing new roms themselves or buying new phones thatve been flashed by some other company.

Hold vol down and power button until the htc logo lights up and it should boot into download mode. Take note of the red colored data up top and write down the radio and os. Also do a imei and serial number check. If its anything other than an htc 10 send it back
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
The last update for the Sprint HTC 10 was for 2.51.651.31

You can download the RUU.exe directly from HTC for it, or you could check for updates in settings > about for the OTA

Here's a link for the RUU.exe Scroll down to the "Manual System Update Instructions" and read them. The download is at the end of the instructions.

If you would prefer to flash the RUU via your SD card, or you don't have a Windows computer (you need one for the .exe), let me know and I'll extract the ROM.zip (RUU.zip) for you so you can flash it that way. You could also probably just find the .zip with a Google search.

EDIT: Apparently Sprint has released Oreo via OTA, but there isn't an RUU for it yet
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mswlogo:
Cool it's already S-Off, Unlocked. I think it's an "HTC 10 Unlocked/Developer" but it's hard to confirm a matching RUU with the 2PS6400 model number.

It was factory sealed. But I still don't know what RUU's are safe to use with it.

https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/795/39021848390_abec02a7e9_c_d.jpg
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
Hmmm, well 2PS640000 is Sprint's MID so you should be careful with that. In general flashing, GSM firmware to a CDMA phone can be dangerous and lead to a brick. There is a way to convert the HTC 10, but I'm not up to speed on it. Since your phone is S-Off I have a feeling someone might have done that. You could try to do an ESN check with the IMEI and see what that brings up as far as what is was originally.

US Unlocked's MID is 2PS650000, and with your current MID you wouldn't be able to flash a US Unlocked RUU
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mswlogo:
Nobody did anything to it. He sold 60 of them and it was clearly factory sealed. I see it mentioned a lot when googling around with other people just as puzzled exactly what it is. It's some sort of developer phone.

Someone had a 2PS500 as well that sounded identical. It had S-Off and same bare bones Sprint firmware version.

Ting says it will activate. But it says no on other carriers. I don't care though, but if I ever sold it, it looks like Ting (at least) would work.

It would not let the Unlocked ( *.617.*) RUU Run firmware flash.

The current firmware it had is 2.42.651.66 which is a Sprint Variant.

The CID is set to 1111111

So I tried the Sprint 2.51.651.31 RUU update and it flashed fine. And now has all the Sprint Garbage on it. I don't care. I now know what I can flash to it or not.

It still shows S-Off and Unlocked and Official after Sprint RUU.

It would be nice to know if I could safely flash the Oreo Sprint RUU (which I highly suspect will also flash fine once released) and then go BACK to the Nougat Sprint one as needed back and forth.

Since it's S-Off etc. It would be handy to be to test Android 7 and 8 with one phone.

If I bricked it, I can return for 30 days. So I rather brick it now than later :)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mswlogo:
I took a shot at updating to Android 8 OTA and it worked fine. Will test if I can flash back to Android 7 with the same RUU I used above.

I can't get a very good GPS lock on this thing. Every other deactivated phone I have can get a good lock.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] kimba99:
sounds a bit like mine... a 2PS6500, came pre-Soff with SuperCID 111111 and MID converted to 2PS6200... had Nougat WWE.401 installed & GPS was great.

once i took the OTA to Oreo, i now have issues with GPS, as I can see all the satellites, but can't get any GPS-lock at all anymore
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mswlogo:
I can still get a gps lock just not a great one and sluggish to get a lock.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mswlogo:
Tried flashing back to Android 7 with the RUU (I used earlier), no go. Once Android 8 is on their seems no easy way of going back and I'm not gonna try manually doing it as I'll brick it for sure.

Gonna probably send it back. I was willing to live with marginal GPS (which I need for my app debug) but was going to keep it if I could easily switch between Android 7 and 8 (and back).

But it doesn't look that way.

Charger just died too.
