I went back to CRK1 and will now go to LR7. My watch issue was actually hardware related and is now getting warranty repair.

Is it okay to flash this from the SD, and wipe after installation?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
Yeah, CRK1 to DRL7 via Ext SD card is the way to install
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] bigTINY779:
anybody got the crk1 att userdata?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
The CRK1 Odin package is in post #2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] bigTINY779:
yes i know. but it doesnt have att userdata...

---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------

anybody flashed back to crk1 from pie without att userdata?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] LuvrGirl:
Following

I didn't know there was a difference between a "regular" userdata and an "att" userdata?

So should I be using the att userdata? [MENTION=4527649]bigTINY779[/MENTION] please post back if you find it because I'm also wanting to Odin back to CRK1.

Thanks! [emoji106]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] bigTINY779:
yeah the "USC" userdata in the package provided in post 2 is for us-cellular. all the major carriers have their own userdatas. att's are harder to come by because they dont make their firmware public... Im just not sure how important it is to have... if it was oreo to oreo i wouldnt worry about it. but since its pie to oreo.....idk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] LuvrGirl:
Got it. So I guess I would be ok to use that file in post #2 (USC) if I'm going from CRID to CRIK (oreo to oreo)... but, it would be *much* better to have a file with the att userdata.

If you find it please share with me.

Thank you [emoji4]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] bigTINY779:
If I was going from oreo to oreo, I would just flash without userdata...

will do
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
I believe for the most part the ROM selections are carrier constrained, they apply the packages that match your SIM card installed.

I am on AT&T, when I flash that USERDATA file, I get all of the AT&T features/Bloat
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] LuvrGirl:
You are awesome! Thank you for confirming that for us (me) [emoji847]

Google's Public DNS now works with Android 9 Pie

Is anyone else having issues with their messaging on DRL7? When I return a text from my wife (AT&T), it freezes and force closes the app. Then works fine when I reopen. Has only been an issue when returning to her.

Anyone know if there is a setting to make the Swipe up gesture on recents to just switch to the previous app? I miss the double clicking of the recents to switch back and forth quickly, but loving the transparency of the gestures.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Bachatu:
If you swipe from left to right on the middle gesture button it will switch to the last application. One thing that is different from double tapping the recent apps button is that it will continue going down the list of previously opened apps. Not switch back and forth from the last 2 apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] SiNJiN76:
Good info thanks! I use Full Screen Gestures...so I guess the option isn't available. Hope they put in more options later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Bachatu:
Full screen gestures like this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
Yes, thats full screen gestures (with hints)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Bachatu:
This is what I've used since upgrading to Pie. The swipe from left to right on the middle bar/button works to change to previous applications. I didn't configure anything extra for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] SiNJiN76:
My buttons are totally hidden.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] XxNamelessForeverxX:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] phillthedrill:
That's great news! I've been on the DL7 waiting ever so patiently for the next beta to drop. I agree with you, excellent battery since it puts all of those pesky apps that aren't being used to sleep.

It wont be too long. Has anyone found a fix for Netflix on DRL7?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
No fix as of yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kireflow90:
I'm still on 6 and haven't updated to 7 as not much has changed from the sound of it. As far as netflix and other video apps not working, could it be because it fails safety net?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
I don't REALLY know, but my guess is it's not Safety Net. I think it's in a video display configuration. Netflix actually works if you use DeX, not only in Dex mode, but also in screen mirroring.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kireflow90:
hmm interesting. I know I've tried every developer option and settings option that has to do with video. I couldn't find any work around other than the PiP mode. Now I wish I had way to do dex lol. For that are you using the actual dock, or just usb C to hdmi?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kobmays89:
Yeah I did notice I can watch it on my TV through HDMI. So it's no big deal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
I'm using the puck style dock.

I've tried a ll of the various display settings too and haven't had ANY luck at all
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] gregcapps:
It's been narrowed down to video drivers, I believe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kobmays89:
I have both. Mainly I just use HDMI TO USB-C. Works pretty good. I also use DeX and have had good success with that as well.

Going from ck1 to the new Pie, will I need to do a wipe or will doing the power off like normal work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kireflow90:
Power off trick will work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] 1Zero3forlife:
I am on 7 and all my video apps work fine but I do not have Netflix. Hulu, NBC Sports and all my video players for streaming movies off my network work 100% fine. I did a full wipe on install if that helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] RevChappy:
Two questions.

1. Can the time be moved back to the right side of the notification bar?

2. What disabler are you guys using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] billdauterive23:
Safetynet won't pass on beta versions of android so you don't get any apps that require safetynet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kireflow90:
I dont use a disabler so I can't comment on that. As far as the time goes its been moved to the left side in pie by Google. I don't think you can move it back to the right side
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Vish.N:
1 - No. Not without root

2 - I'm using Adhell3 on DRL7
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] RevChappy:
When I try to use adhell I very a 201 error...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Vish.N:
Yea it won't activate on the Pie beta for some reason so here is what I did to make it work. I Odin back to CRK1 with a clean install. Let it boot up and go through the setup. Install Adhell3 and activate it with your KML key. Once it's activated and ready then reboot into recovery and flash the L7 Pie update.zip file. When it boots back up you will be on Pie with Adhell3 still activated and working
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] RevChappy:
Thanks for the suggestion, but I just went from CK1 to DL7 with a full wipe, I don't feel like redoing the process lol I might have to bite the bullet and rebuy that damn app package disabler app from the playstore.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
Referring to Pie Beta? If so

1. No

2. I only use the default disabling method built into the device

Apparently on the dl7 build the IconXs will not pair into the wear app. My watch does it with no issues, but my icons error with a notice to make sure my app is updated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kireflow90:
So I have to ask. Does dark mode system wide (as many apps a I could) really save battery life? I just switched it all over but wanted to see of anyone else had success with this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] sapps:
That question is as old as cell phones themselves. Some people swear by it and some say it's in your head.

I personally like dark mode, I feel it helps with battery life and is much easier on my eyes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] RevChappy:
The black in the OLED should be using no power....so theoretically...it should.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Vish.N:
Yea I believe the pixels on a OLED turn off when showing black image so that should save power. Like when AOD is enable and it's just a black screen with the time only. It doesn't use much power. Same thing with dark mode

using DRL7 since it dropped out and cant wait until next update. it runs so smooth and battery life is great.

after looking on google found that build N950USQU5*DSAA* is the next update but i have found this info a few days ago and update is still not rolling out yet. fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/AT*T/SM-N950U/version.test.xml is the link where it shows all builds for ATT N950U

any news when it will come up to our devices?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
Yeah, just on the Pie versions, we've seen DSA1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and now the DSAA on fota (none of which went out to the servers). So like [MENTION=1557144]GreggC[/MENTION]apps said, just cause it shows there, doesn't meat WE will get it

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] droppinbaums:
It's not ideal, but being back on Oreo allows everything to work as you said. I start having random vibrations and a malfunctioning camera along with the common video issue on Pie. I miss the great battery life and the day/night mode, but everything works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] gregcapps:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] RevChappy:
Yup. My watch pairs with the app fine. My Iconx will not. But there is a specific icon plugin that's different from the S plugin. So I tried the older IconX and 5he newer ones. No dice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kireflow90:
Been pretty slow lately. I wonder if it's because the beta went live?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] cwis:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:

Did an update.zip flash from my SD card. Although now that I think about it, I didnt factory reset before applying the update. Could that have been why I've been having issues?

That apk doesnt do anything except tell me that the software I am using is out of date and needs to be updated.

As for the Google issue I dont know what caused that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kireflow90:
Unless you did the power + volume down trick your phone should have been wiped after the update was installed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
I'm totally baffled by you not being able to pair with your GW.

Can you download THIS apk to your device, install it, go to Settings>Apps>Gear S Plugin>Storage and clear Cache and Data, exit out and try to pair the watch?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kireflow90:
Might be a possibility too the watch needs reset. Every time I flash or switch phones I have to reset my gear s3 frontier to connect it

I'm just wondering because I put the drl5 update on my Verizon note 8 then when they said we wouldn't get updates on the beta version got scared and borrowed my daughter's laptop. This is when I had my first experience with Odin and got back on crk1.

Well I'm really missing pie after 2 weeks back on Oreo and was wondering if it would be better to just go ahead and flash the drl7 version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
Yes, I'll post a "How to get onto the N950U1 Pie Beta" Shortly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
FLASHING N950U1 stock ROM to go to the ZSAB Beta

1.	Download the latest N950U1UEU5CRL2 firmware for your carrier from HERE

2.	Use the ODIN from post #2 to flash the CRL2 firmware. You need to flash AP, BL, CP, and CSC.

DO NOT FLASH HOME_CSC, YOU NEED TO WIPE

.

2.5. After running Odin and getting on CRL2, you can go to firmware.science and download the Update.zip from HERE. This can take a

long

time to download, if you don't mind waiting and want to flash the update.zip, then you don't need to continue to remaining steps. If you aren't interested in waiting continue to step 3. In my experience, it's actually faster to skip the update.zip step and do the remaining steps.

3.	Once on the CRL2, download and install the latest Samsung+ beta apk from HERE

4.	Restart the device and wait for the OneUI beta participation notification to appear in Samsung+. (It could take up to 10 minutes. If it doesn't appear in 10 minutes clear Samsung+'s app data from settings and restart your phone.)

5.	Once the notification appears, join the OneUI beta program and then wait another 10 minutes or so before checking for software updates. If the update doesn't appear, restart your phone and try again.

6.	The 5ZSAB update will download and install automatically.

This Beta has fixed the Netflix issue.

This will put you on the N950U1 ROM which is the unlocked version. You should receive the OTA pushes for N950U1 (which historically take longer to drop than the carrier versions), but you will NOT receive your carrier updates without going back to your carriers stock ROM.

If you have issues with pairing your Galaxy Watch/Gear follow the steps in post #2 to download and install the Gear plugin and you should be able to sync your Watch
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] dharvey4651:
This app will not install on my Note 8 once I had CRL2 installed. It says "problem parsing the package".

Is it possible that there is a different version that will work to get enrolled in the pie beta?

EDIT>>> Nevermind. I figured it out and successfully registered for the beta. It's installing as I type this message.

For those like me who are trying to figure out which Samsung + app to use, this one worked for me.

Samsung+ 11.2.5.0

What you mean by this is though we'll be able to enjoy the progression of android pie on our devices, it's strongly encouraged to flash the official pie firmware for our devices once it drops.

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

Off topic... Has anyone who has registered, joined and installed the Pie Beta been able to figure out how to enable chat features in the Samsung Messages app? It was there and it worked on DRL6.
