Yay, clutch those pearls! Nurse!!

You called him/her immature. How am I being selective? I linked your whole post... Are you saying I've cunningly twisted your words?

I've been here eight years. You've been here one week. And you talk about "giving back to the community". You haven't got the slightest idea about about xda and how this place works.

His/her mods ARE NOT YOURS. You can't "share" them without permission. Not your work. SFA to do with you. Read the rules.

People like you who just come in, demand everything, think you know everything, insult devs...go back to your audio. You may know your s*** there. You know jack here.

You're also clearly sexist, and your grammar would shame a 10 year old.

I searched on Chinese websites and found it, I downloaded it and posted it on my archive, people can download use it but I have not enough posts to post links please contact my fb search : Mr.Phạm. Anh.Tú
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ChazzMatt:
If the dev has removed links to their work, it's considered bad manners to provide mirror links in their own thread. Even if you don't agree with the reason they removed the links.

At most you can tell people how you researched and found them. Better yet you can encourage the dev to re-post the links, but please don't re-post the links yourself.

These mods are popular and useful and I hope [MENTION=9023361]Whiskeyomega[/MENTION] reposts them.

Thanks so much:fingers-crossed:
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] adriansiv:
Isn't XDA all about sharing and caring. I know and appreciate how much you helped me in getting my phone rooted. The dev of this mod doesn't seem to respond. I have contacted him twice.

When you're putting free links out in the wild, people are bound to misuse or share them. Whiskey omega would instead have charged a small amount like 2 dollars for these mod links instead of removing them completely.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] adriansiv:
Can somebody who has these mods give credit to whiskeyomega and reupload them somewhere? I guess this doesn’t violate his terms as all he was asking was a credit.

I think it is the same as #2 the previous one, which was removed.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Whiskeyomega:
Just to reiterate. XDA mods seem to allow my work to be stolen by Totallyanxious.

I dont care however they phrase it. They took my original work and built on it and that seems to justify them stealing it in the first place to work on it.

They did not ask in the 1st place and didnt apologize later. Just thinking crediting me after the fact was enough. Then I get a really patronizing email from a mod here. Saying I have to basically deal with it and let them credit me regardless. To which I said no they cannot use my work to build on but thats seemingly gone unnoticed and they've been allowed to carry on. IU find it very hypocritical since I was told I could not use Ainur in my rom and told to remove it by the mods. Now all of a sudden my work is free reign!? No . They never asked in the 1st place they just carried on and no doubt I'll be the one in the wrong for writing this here.

They change the rules to whatever suits them
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] TotallyAnxious:
Then prove it. :)
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Whiskeyomega:
You already told a mod that you used my files as a template for your own. Then you claim my files do not work with US998 and you needed to edit files. Thats complete crap. I never had any complaints of my mixer files not working on US998. I actually looked at your mixer xml file and it has my ordinal mixer mod file changes still there in other parts of the file. I got all the proof I need. Already sent a cease and desist to JB Online Media
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] TotallyAnxious:
Lol good luck with that.
[LG V30 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ChazzMatt:
"Using as a template" and "stealing" are two different things in open source.

As far as credit, you credited [MENTION=7047928]Dante63[/MENTION] in your Boombox ROM op for dual speaker -- whom you do not credit in this thread. Why? You're also using dual speaker with these mods...

Yes, please go edit the op now if you wish to do so -- but just pointing out failure to credit is something you have done also. ;) I'm only mentioning it because you did. I'm not accusing you of theft. I totally respect you and know you just overlooked it.

Totally Anxious said in her op for anyone to contact her if they wanted credit listed in the op. You didn't do that, even though I suggested to you via PM to do so instead of accusing her of theft.

Hello,

I can't understand why I have the same notification (see attached screenshot) from bluetooh!!!

This appears every time I start a bluetooth on my phoone to connect to the car or at home to a bluetooth speaker!

Really I think this notification is annoying and useless and remains fixed on the screen until I give a confirmation!

Anyone have an idea for a fast solution? :confused:

Many thanks :good:

[General Questions and Answers] zdrast1:
Hello everyone,

I recently got an htc u11, my first android phone, to kind of play around with and see what I could do. I was messing around with rooting it and unlocking the bootloader etc. Then I started to play around with the firmware. Basically I got the sunshine app and flashed some firmware and now when ever it boots up it says the phone is encrypted and that if you enter the wrong password it will reset all the user data. After resetting all the user data the same screen keeps coming up.

The problem is now I can't flash the stock firmware back because the s-off from sunshine is temporary and now of course it is back on.

Any help or advice would be appreciated

Thanks for reading
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] skiddingus:
I'm trying to figure out why the Verizon S9 is $80 more than the unlocked one. I used to have the unlocked S7 on Verizon and I understand that some carrier features such as VVM and VoLTE will not work. You also lose some of the Verizon specific apps that are preinstalled. I'm trying to find out if the unlocked phone will support all frequency bands used by Verizon for the best speed and coverage. I tried contacting Samsung through thier web site and here is my conversation:

Murtuza MD, SAMSUNG Care Pro

Them - Please excuse us for the long hold. We have had an unusually high volume of chats coming in. I would be happy to assist you with any questions you have about our products.

Me - What are the drawbacks to buying the unlocked S9 to use on Verizon. I understand that VVM will not work but will the phone support all of the bands used by Verizon to get the best call reception and data speeds?

Them - Please give me a few minutes to review the information you have shared.

Them - I see that the Unlocked S9 phone will be compatible with all the carrier's including Verizon.

Me - I understand that it will be compatible but will it perform the same as the Verizon branded S9? Why is the Verizon S9 $80 more expensive? What does the additional $80 buy for me?

Them - It will get you the Verizon specific feature's and applications that will be Pre installed on the phone.

Them - Please let me know if you have any more questions or queries for me.

Me - So the unlocked S9 will support all available Verizon radio bands?

Them - Yes, you are right.

Me - OK Thank you.

So it appears that the unlocked phone will work properly. Do anyone else find it ridiculous that the carrier locked phone would cost more? I would expect it to cost less unless there is some advantage to the carrier branded phone I am missing. Can anyone think of any other drawbacks to buying the unlocked phone? I could also note that the updates for the unlocked S7 were actually slower than the Verizon branded S7's updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] x111:
unlocked bootloader is the must as well as aosp !!

usa and Canada will get the worst version again !!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Throwinrocks:
I used a prepaid Verizon SIM on an Verizon S8 and lost VVM and WiFi calling but had HD Calling and I then purchased the unlocked Unlocked Pixel 2 XL directly from Google and it worked with with the Verizon prepaid SIM with the same downfalls of no VVM or WiFi calling but again I had HD calling. Not sure if this info helps but I WILL be buying the unlocked version S9 because I don't gain anything due to me using my prepaid SIM.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] RossTeagan:
I don't think we can find such details early on. On websites like GSMarena and Phonearena the S9 doesn't have yet the model specific features (such as for Verizon and Unlocked version) so you should wait a bit more.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Paisa571:
For those that had HD calling still usable with the unlocked versions of other devices, were you able to take calls and browse the web at the same time? I used an unlocked S7 with Verizon service for a while, but every time I was on a call I was not able to browse the web at the same time. Unfortunately for the kind of work I do I need to be able to do both.

That may be a drawback from not having the Verizon version of the S9 on their network.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] xgman:
So if you order the unlocked S9 on samsung you don't get visual voicemail ? Even if I use a sim from a verizon S8 model?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Throwinrocks:
If it is a Verizon postpaid (contract) SIM? Yes

If it is a Verizon prepaid SIM? NO
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] xgman:
Everything I have seen on the web indicates that no matter what sim or contract (full here) that you simply can't get the visual voicemail app with an unlocked Galaxy. That is so unreasonable so they get the extra $100 and you are stuck with the bloatware. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is the case.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Throwinrocks:
No Sir. A Verizon prepaid SIM on a Verizon S8 will not allow use of VVM
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] xgman:
It is not a pre paid sim. It is a contract sim, but it won't make any difference. VVM won't work on a locked Verizon phone since the actual app won't even be on the phone and can't even be downloaded from the app store apparently.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Throwinrocks:
When you put that post paid SIM into a Verizon S8 the VVM will appear on that phone along with 2 or 3 other apps plus Verizon phones aren't locked. My Verizon S8 had the VVM icon on my phone but it would not let me use it because I have a prepaid SIM. I have that icon on my phone.

There are two levels of VVM one is free with postpaid and the other is premium that cost $2.99 a month

Try this. Log in:

My Verizon>My Plans and Services>Blocks>Block Services>Block Visual Voice Mail>ON

Reboot and try a test call
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] xgman:
I have the premium. I have not heard of anyone with premium or otherwise being able to get the visual voicemail with the slider etc working on an unlocked phone. I can't try the test because I don't have an unlocked phone to test it on yet plus it's on a work acct which I don't have admin access to. I don't know why they make it so difficult for such a mainstream feature.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Throwinrocks:
I agree. You'd think no matter if it's locked or unlocked phone or a post paid or prepaid SIM they would want to keep you as a customer and allow us to have a simple feature. I still remember when you had to buy text messaging like minutes. LOL

Wait for what? What details and specific features are you talking about?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] skiddingus:
I talked to Verizon tech support regarding the differences between the unlocked S9 and the Verizon branded S9. She seemed to be very knowledgeable on the subject and confirmed to me that you will not be able to use VVM on the unlocked phone just like I expected. She went as far as to say that since Verizon doesn't control the software updates that there is no guarantee that the phone would continue to work on their network. We all know that Samsung would never send out an update that would break the Verizon service but I could possibly see future software related network speed improvements not getting passed on to this phone. I'm really tossed up on which phone to buy. Are the Verizon tweaks and VVM worth $80?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Josh LaCelle:
Verizon are a bunch of liars and crooks. Verizon tweaks nothing. They just make sure all their products and services work with the phone, that is all. I wouldn't pay $100 more for a phone that only has bloatware from Verizon. Not to mention Verizon phones are locked from factory now
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Throwinrocks:
From what I'm hearing Verizon hasn't started locking them yet but what difference does it make? AT&T and Sprint have been doing it for years. Once you activate the phone you can unlock it and in some cases they unlock once activated. They are locking them so when people steal them they're unable to use them. There's a ton of articles explaing why and I can't understand why everyone gets upset about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] kevinrocksman:
Now I take everything samsung says with a grain of salt and some hot sauce but the lady I just talked to (I recorded it) said that the snapdragon verizon s9+ had a unlockable bootloader (but she highly recommended against it). Has anyone else called samsung and asked them?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] droideris1:
I can't say how true this actually is, but a vz rep just confirmed that all features will work exactly the same on both versions... see below for convo

Verizon: Thank you for contacting the Verizon Wireless Chat Team regarding your account. How can we help you today?

You: hi

You: what is the difference between the verizon S9 and the version of the S9 straight from samsung?

Meghann: Hello!

Meghann: There is no difference between the phones.

You: all features will work on both versions?

Meghann: Correct.

You: wifi calling, etc? We will just get software updates straight from samsung as oppose to from vz?

You: Please pardon my confusion here, but i was wondering what made the samsung version $80 cheaper!

Meghann: We do not make the phone, the difference is that Samsung sells us the phone and then we sell it to you. If you buy it straight from Samsung, you can use it on any carrier.

You: yes i am aware of that!

You: but i have heard that wifi calling doesn't work if international, mobile hotspot may not work, and we won't have access to some verizon features

You: is any of that true for this version of the phone?

Meghann: No, the device will still work the same.

Meghann: That would be true if you bought the phone from say Sprint and then brought it to us.

You: ok perfect!!

You: thanks for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] skiddingus:
I was told something similar by the first person I talked to at Verizon. When I started to ask specific questions, they transferred me to tech support and then I was told the opposite. The tech confirmed that VVM will not be available on the unlocked version. I guess we will find out for sure in a couple weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] xgman:
Find me one person with an unlocked S8 on Verizon that has normal visual voice mail? S9 is no different. I need the VVM for my business, don't need or want a new activation, so I have no choice but to pay the ransom.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ML417:
You left off a very important question. Samsung sells the Verizon variant on their website. This conversation didn't confirm what version they're expecting you to buy from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] lexiperplexi91:
Samsung usually releases the firmware for all models too, so if you buy the unlocked you can more than likely flash the Verizon ROM. You'd get all the bloatware but not have to pay the extra $.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Matt105:
Would this require root access, could it trip Knox, and then would you receive future OTA updates? Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] k0nkuzh0n:
For S7 and S8, it did not require root, nor did it trip Knox. As they are official firmware. Not sure about OTA updates, I think the way those are done has changed in the past year.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] droideris1:

Just now from Verizon Customer Support on Twitter (DM):

Thanks for meeting us here. Currently, unlocked devices do no support WiFi calling or Video Calling. I can confirm this information to be true and the most up to date information available. ^CJM
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] turboej20:
To all regarding VVM....Samsung has their own app and it seems to function almost identically to the Verizon one. It should be up on the galaxy app store or you maybe can get it from sammobile.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] droideris1:
Confirmed with a VZW rep today that wifi calling and video calling will NOT work with the unlocked phone. Very annoying since the first 5 reps I spoke with over the past few weeks said it would. This one was 100% certain that advanced features like these are exclusive to verizon phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] mc_365:
I flashed to the VZW firmware.

The Advanced Calling menu is present.

I activated it.

The second part of the menu has Video Call and HD Voice. Only HD Voice is selectable.

When trying to activate Video Calling, I get a pop up message that "the service is blocked contact customer support". On the VZW website there is a place you can see blocked services and under my S9 Video Calls have the block option "on" I can switch it to off but immediately get an error that "the selection can not be saved, contact customer support".

There is a Third menu on the phone for WiFi Calling. It seems to be selectable as it sends me to fill in call details for if emergency call goes out on WiFi which location should they attach to it. I Haven't tried to verify if WiFi calling works yet.

Spoke to a VZW 2nd Level tech rep and he said my phone doesn't have the real VZW software as they don't distribute it. Then he started in on policy towards unlocked bootloaders and jailbroken phones. Which I explain to him was not the case, as its almost impossible to do on a Snapdragon s9 with all the Knox security on the phone. He insisted the phone doesn't have the official software, that's when I told him its all about $ and coercion to buy phones from VZW. The phone can't "harm" the network, The Phone has the requisite software / hardware, they just refuse to provision it because they identified by IME or Serial# etc. that the phone is an unlocked version.

Maybe I screwed up flashing the first couple of times and put the sim in while still on U1 and they tied my IME to U1 permanently ? At this present time My phone is flashed with all VZW firmware and is now a SM-G960U, VZW region, ARG version Phone. But my VZW profile says SM-G960U1.

In any event the phone is capable its just a Corp policy to discourage BYO device proliferation. I feel like I lost twice now. First I buy a unlocked phone full price and can't use all its capabilities. Second I can't unlock the bootloader to run custom roms.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] DevalB:
Is there a way to reset/re-provision a Verizon SIM'ed device? My phone seems to just camp on one LTE band, which is slower than dirt.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Rockymountainsunset:
I know this thread is old, but I am in the market and considering and s9. Hence why I ended up here. We have always used unlocked phone to ensure international compatibility. With the s9 being a global phone, and the BOGO offer currently at Costco this month, it is now a reasonably good deal.

On VZW, unlocked phones will not have WiFi calling, video calling, or visual voicemail. They are also defaulted to not use hd calling. This is a network switch called "advanced calling" which is automatically turned off when VZW cannot identify your device as carrier specific. You simply need to call in and IMMEDIATELY ask for tier 2 support. They can fix it in seconds. Just reboot the phone and hd calling is restored. No such luck for wifi and video calling, at least not with Moto z, Moto g6, or LG g6.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] carm01:
I can concur with the fact that there is NO wifi calling setting nor is there a VVM or anything in the Samsung app store. HD calling was activated already for my by default.

Needless to say that I ended up returning this after one day. My old phone at least had VVM. To nerf a bunch of features is a joke. I wonder who is responsible for that sammy or VZW?

Couple of questions hopefully someone may know:

1) does anyone have a VZW branded phone and do those features work/present?

2) Aside from the bloat on VZW version , is it likely locked down or not; I been hearing different answers to this

3) Where does one find the VZW firmware to flash on an unlocked version ?

Thank You in Advance
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] skinnytoo2:
VZW of course. They suck!! After they pulled this **** a few years ago on one of my unlocked devices I told them to f off. Went to TMobs. I haven't been happier!!! Saving $1000s a year on service, which is better and I can use any device I want!!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] mc_365:
Yeah after verifying its blocked just because, I told them there's nothing they can do to make it right as it's just anti consumer. They charge more for the service then charge more for the phone and block features if you don't buy the phone from them. I'm buying unlocked phone on principle alone. Going to Tmob to get my numbers ported by month end.
