[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
at 80% charge i average 5.5 to 7 hours sot normally

yea cant tweak the kernel at all....on the PC rom I am ever so slightly responsible for even better batt life I went through nearly every inch of this rom and boot:good:

The newest version of the rom actually uses to combo firmware boot img and not the reg eng kernel so technically there are 3 kernels Rooted basically we have system access....

But it is deodexed and zipaligned...With a load of other tweaks.....

And with every version released it gets better

The biggest thing rooting is you will get errors....

Ignore most of them through the prosses you will see uploadmode errors and unauthorized software detected but ignore them and dont freak out most of them are part of it:good::good::good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
also you need usb 2.0 ports and remember comsy odin is for PC rom firmware only

And reg odin=reg stock firmware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] rossbeck:
Sounds good... thanks for all the info. Since my phone is factory new, I'll test out pure stock for a while and see if it's good enough. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] yanbanan980:
I rooted my s8 Verizon using PartCyborg rom. Took me 2 tries but it's amazing and worth it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] rossbeck:
So it's basically a stock/rooted/debloated rom then? It has that "80%" battery bug, but that doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things? Any other bugs or weirdness?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions & Answers] yanbanan980:
Nope that's basically it. 80% lasts me about 5 hours heavy usage. I personally don't care if it charges to 80 because of the things you can do with root.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] silentser:
Hello,

I am still considering whether to get the S9 or the S9+ .

I know the differences between them based on the spec.

I am okay with the S9 screen size , and do know regarding the difference in the battery capacity.

Is there any other difference that make S9+ the better phone?

Will I miss a lot of things by not having the dual lenses camera?

4GB vs 6GB make any noticeable difference?

Hope to get some feedback to help me make the pre order :D

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] DqrKn3Zz:
S9+ obviously lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] wiseguyy:
Well....

Dual Camera with Dual OIS / Wide-angle: Super Speed Dual Pixel 12MP AF sensor (F1.5/F2.4), Telephoto: 12MP AF sensor (F2.4)

Better Picts

Memory: 6GB RAM

Faster Phone running multiple apps (should never Lag like 4gb)

Battery: 3,500mAh (500 more mah)

Longer Battery Life

Obvious higher resale when the next hot device comes out..

My Choice for sure I'm already cutting Loose N8.

My big question is if the Unlocked US version is Built to Utilize 600mhz and 4x4 mimo qam..That's what I need to know because I would definitely prefer an Unbranded device because the have higher resale value and of course the crapware Tmo adds to the device. I wish they would allow you/give you the option to turn off the Super annoying Tmo start screen and (Freaking Jingle) telling the World im on T-mobile...aggravating from my perspective.

Hey If I helped...Please Hit the Thanks Button ;)"
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] natefish:
I see friends with the S8 and think it looks so small compared to my S8+. Definitely getting the +. But, if you have small hands like my petite female friend, the normal size means a bit more sense.

Anyway how much of a photo enthusiast are you with your phone? I can't wait to have some telefoto action myself.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] dhonzik:
S9+ of course
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] LIVEFRMNYC:
The S9+ will definitely keep more background apps open. Twice the internal storage. Better battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
I have the same question, but even when the battery is bigger in the Plus variant, the screen also is, so I don't know if actually it makes a difference in terms of battery life. I like devices with big batteries, and I always avoid batteries below ~3500mAh.

I'm running an HTC U11+ right now and I'm really comfortable with the screen and the size, and before that I had a Pixel 2 XL, and this will be my first Samsung ever because they finally fixed some things that bothered me from past generation.

I don't care much about dual camera, I'm sure I will have enough with one because I'm kind of amateur, but still size is kind of a bummer; taking in mind are the same size as S8/S8+ and I have seen them in store many times, the normal version for me feels small, but the Plus version is a little bit too large for my taste. So I'm kind of confused.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] pirateye:
Keep in mind that the 9 is almost the same size as the 8. You can always try it in store.

But as everyone else already said, the 9+ has more features, so more resale value.

I had an 8+ and IMO the price difference is well worth it even more now that you get more than just a larger screen.

Personally, I'm going with the + again.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] gernasam:
s9+ sure

:good:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Dowper:
S9+ is the right choice.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] xgman:
I don't know. Specs aside, and understanding xda is a geeky site compared to mainstream, I might go with the S9 for pocket ability. I don't see the specs being much different really. I have an S8 and if I play with the S8+ at first I think too big then as I get used to it and pick up the S8 I think too small until I get used to it and repeat. You can easily get used to either. Before the S8 my phones tended to be the plus sizes and I now find the S8 to be a good size to both pocket and to type on. Really though I don't think you can go wrong either way.

Definitely S9+. The camera is better S9+ compared to S9.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] skivnit:
having the S8, i can't justify buying the S9, however since i always buy the new S, i went for the S9+ with more RAM, better camera and bigger battery tahts how i can justify the "upgrade"

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Okarina26:
from S8 to S9+.......!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Canard caché:
I tried the both device and for me, the choice is clear: s9!

I precise that for me the photo is the aspect that's the most important... but the s9+ is really really tooooooooooooo big... I found it ridiculous and hard to held.

I'm not a fan of the note versions though.

For the 4gb - 6 gb = nope, it's not visible! NO app use this amount of ram and even if you have plenty app opened it's really hard to tell the difference on a phone. When u let app open, usually u let 9 apps max and for that u never need more than 2,5 gb of ram perhaps 3...

For the battery, it's proved the difference is not that much (30 min 1 hour?)

For the tele, yeah, it's gimmick. You have a 2x zoom option (with less luminosity)... and that's all, nothing else. For that difference, I make one step before me with the normal module and I have the same result (really I tested earlier and the 2x zoom = 1 step)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] silentwitness1:
its like you read my mind!!!! Exactly the same thought, the s9 was useless and not worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Camwise:
I'm on T-Mobile's Jump on Demand. S9+ requires a $120 down payment. S9 doesn't. Seeing as I swap phones ever month or two it didn't make sense for me to throw $120 away. If they would have rolled the down payment into the monthly price I would have done s9+. That's what they did with the Note 8, V30, and iphone X. A little upset they didn't do that with the S9 series. So I went with the smaller s9 just do to that one reason.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] dieselhazza:
What made you move on from the pixel XL 2 as it's still a relatively new phone. Also how was the battery life? Compare it to devices you have recently used.

The last Samsung phone i have used is the S7 edge. I have used many samsung devices but they all lagged which made me hate Samsung. I won't get Samsung device for another 2 years so they can iron out their software to prevent lagging. For instance the mate 10 pro has a heavy launcher but that device never lags. I'm currently using a sony xz premium and never experienced a stutter which is incredible. Now I'm tossing between the Pixel XL 2 and soon to be released P20 Pro
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
The Pixel 2 XL is a good and new phone indeed, but it comes with a lot of hardware problems, and most of those won't be fixed by software.

So far the problems I had:

Screen problems - Blue shift, black crush, ghosting, etc

Super slow charge - It took around 3 or more hours to fully charge; in comparison my Mate 9 Pro with bigger battery was taking ~1:40; same time also with U11+.

Bluetooth problems

Horrible sound recording

Android auto problems (which I think they fixed with latest OTA)

Slow fingerprint sensor - This made me insane everyday

Camera is hit or miss in low light - camera tends to be really grainy and it lacks detail in low light

No manual mode

Battery life is good, but not exceptional. I have been using phones with ~4000mAh for the last 2 years, so I noticed the difference a little bit; still I was doing no less than 6-7 SOT over 2 days.

Overall, for a €1K price, I couldn't accept those, too many deal-breakers for me; I could accept maybe 1-2, but when you keep adding things, overall the experience is ruined. If you are looking for something similar to the Pixel 2 XL, you should take a look to the HTC U11+, really nice phone and is even cheaper, but it depends on your priorities and how much time you want to keep the phone. I usually don't stay with the phone more than 1 year, so those 3 years of updates are not important to me in the Pixel, and out from that, there's no much noticeable advantages to other flagships, other marginal things.

About the P20 Pro, I think it will be released somewhere in April-May, even with the announcement is this month, so you need to take in mind that. I think it will be like a Mate 10 Pro with 3 cameras on the back, but usually P line is a strip down phone from Mate series: same processor, same RAM, same storage, etc.

Hello,

Samsung has a "sidesync" suite to manage its android from Mac, but are there other brands that do it?

Or is there a tool like Coolmuster Android Assistant but for free?

[Xiaomi Mi 5X Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ritwik Rahman:
Introduction: Doze helps solve this problem by periodically blocking wakelocks and shutting off network access if your phone goes unused for a while. It will then periodically allow apps to check in during “maintenance windows” every so often (these windows occur less frequently the longer you don’t use your device). Depending on which version of Android you have.

Mechanism: Universal Xiaomi Doze Mode

- Fix Battery Juice

- Agressive Doze (Light)

- Maintaining Deep Sleep

- Wake-up Tracking and Cut-off

Add-ons:

- Ambient Always on Display Gestures on selected aosp roms supported.

Download Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Dgqw1jvDWtomaiDsZCqATZWNKpLDYfZK/view?usp=drivesdk

Working on:

Nougat and Oreo Rom Base

- AOSP

- LOS

- CAF

How to Install?

1. Download the file

2. Go to your current twrp

3. Flash the zip

4. Wipe caches before reboot

5. Enjoy!

[Xiaomi Mi 5X Themes, Apps, and Mods] mmiz:
Non MIUI roms like AEX, Android One..., have already a built-in Doze, so.. i just want to know the differences and improvements of this one, so i can install it.. :)
[Xiaomi Mi 5X Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ritwik Rahman:
It has Doze of Latest MiUi Rom... And features are mentioned...
[Xiaomi Mi 5X Themes, Apps, and Mods] robertb45:
What if i want to uninstall it??
[Xiaomi Mi 5X Themes, Apps, and Mods] hyborian:
But my MIUI Redmi 4A Nougat has no Doze settings i can find. I think Xiaomi frowns on Doze, although one can still find the function "Battery Optimization" using Greenify.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers] i0ri:
Hi guys,

I've got the Redmi 5 plus (export set) that comes with a tampered/unofficial ROM flashed by the seller. So I clean flashed via fastboot to the official MIUI global ROM 9.2.6.0. The device is working perfectly.

I opened an app and was promoted that my device is rooted which is not true and I also checked through root checker app.

Can anyone tell me how do I get this to go away? Because I want the apps to be working normally in my region. I am from Singapore by the way.

Sorry for the lengthy post.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mindfrost82:
This has yet to be proved, nobody really knows for sure since it hasn't been enabled yet. Since its the same chipset as the Titan, it should have the same features/functionality when it comes to GPS.

I've seen people say its gonna be a combination of GPS and a-GPS, I've seen people say it'll only be a-GPS, and I've seen people say it doesn't have any GPS.

We won't really know until we can use it.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jstout1980:
Titan vs. Touch

I had a titan for a few weeks before switching to the touch. While reva and gps were sweet on the titan its overall feel was cheap and plasticky. The Vogue is much faster and feels like a solid device. I'm willing to wait for the sprint update to see what this phone can really do.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Martin Blank:
I keep seeing this reference of "only aGPS" scattered around, and I think there's a serious misunderstanding.

aGPS is short for assisted GPS. That means that it is GPS with additional features to boost functionality. In its full spec -- and as available in Qualcomm's GPSOne implementation -- aGPS is fully capable of using satellites when they're available. This is used in conjunction with information from cell towers to further refine the position. When satellites are not available (such as when indoors), information from cell towers is used on its own.

Now, whether the phone manufacturer or the carrier activate all abilities is a different issue. They apparently can block access to satellites (at least to the user), and require that the phone be near their network to get a position.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jim256:
hmm wow ok thank you for clearing that up.

i thought a-gps (knowing that it meant assisted gps) referred only to tracking via cell towers. thanks. still hoping...
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] yaconsult:
I have certainly gotten my money's worth out of this $60 Blu R1 HD phone but it has it's own share of annoying issues and we have probably reached the end of its updates.

So I was looking around for possible replacements and what I've seen that looks the most interesting so far is the Xiomi Mi A1. Why? Because it's an official Android One phone so it will get all the updates from google in a timely fashion. They recently had Oreo pushed out. http://www.mi.com/en/mi-a1/

There are many, many reviews on youtube. Also, a lot of people are buying them on amazon and liking them:

https://www.amazon.com/Xiaomi-Android-Cameras-Unlocked-Warranty/dp/B076HQ6FSY The price on amazon has been dropping and is currently down to about $225.

While I'm sure I could get it cheaper from China, buying from amazon has the advantage of making sure you get a model with the right bands and, of course, the easy return policy.

XDA has an active forum and the phone is easy to root and flash: https://xdaforums.com/mi-a1

The other phone I considered was the LeEco LePro 3. Why? Because it's on the list of supported phones of LineageOS. It has better specs than the M1 A1, and sells for $190 on amazon. But the company overextended in the U.S. and it's not clear how long they will be producing this phone. It has a custom UI that most people don't like so it's only of interest because it's on the list of LineageOS supported phones.

If you have moved up from the Blu R1 HD, which phone did YOU choose?

I need to go back and look through the list of official Android One phones and see which are available in the U.S. and how much they cost.
