[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ergalthema:
I have an unlocked S9 on Verizon. I haven't used PDANet in a long time because my locked S6 blocked the hotspot. Now, the S9 appears to start the hotspot, but when I try to connect on my computer the connection always times out. I've tried multiple times. Am I missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] pir8man:
I am using PDANet just fine with S9 on Sprint. I found I have to use WPS to build the connection. Once the VPN is built via PDANet, it works just fine.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akopps:
Are the Tab S fingerprint scanners known to get worse with time? When my T800 was new, my success rate with the fingerprint scanner was something like 3 out of 4 times (so, it wasn't a great scanner to begin with), but now it got worse than 1 out of 10.
[Other SmartWatches] Nazo:
I just got a Ticwatch E. It's fresh out of the box today using Android Wear 2 and all that (I gather it originally didn't support Android Wear, but it does now with the latest firmwares I guess.) One of the biggest reasons I finally updated to a modern smartwatch (my Pebble Time has served me very well and done just about everything I ever wanted except just a few things) was to be able to use the Google Assistant for (mostly) hands-free operations like getting directions while driving and etc without having to pull out the phone, unlock it, etc etc. (Especially since I prefer that my phone stays in my pocket when I don't need to do anything complex and at all times while driving.) I setup a bunch of stuff but just found out I have a huge problem in that this is the one thing I needed that absolutely does not seem to work.

Whenever I attempt to actually use the assistant by either holding the power button a moment or "ok google" (which I want to keep off to save battery life, but I turned on to test this) it just pops up a blank screen with a picture of a circle with an arrow (basically a refresh symbol which seems to be used to say "loading" a lot on Android Wear.) I've tapped around, tried sliding from each direction (of course left to right just backs out, but I tried the other three too,) waited a long time, and tried unlocking the phone after a quick google search. I have no clue what if any apps other than Android Wear need to be installed, but I did install the Google Assistant and already had the actual Google app itself installed. (I'd rather have only whatever is necessary, but for now I'm kind of trying to throw everything at it.) I also have the Ticwatch app itself installed even though I don't need or want the fitness tracking stuff.

So as I just said, by mistake, I installed an image to the firmware partition and suddenly I couldn't install roms anymore, have tried factory resetting, deleting data, some commands that never worked for my device, its shows me the following message: Failed to mount /firmware (invalid argument), what I am thinking to do is flashing the device again starting from zero but how do I do it from the TWRP?

If it's a raw image then you'll need to convert it into something readable first with a tool such as simg2img.

Afterwards, use a program to mount the ext4 image if you're on windows, or mount it with the mount command if you use linux, then you're free to extract it.

Okay:

just open an image or create one, with also paint;

make it 240x320 pixels, 240 in width, 320 in height...

save it as bmp, with 24 bits...

open it with nb_image_converter

convert to "nb"

save it as first and second.nb...

now, if you don't have windows.nb use dutty's nbtools to extract from rom, reuse nbtools to compile nbh, add

in os: windows.nb

in "first splash" the file first.nb

in "second splash" the file second.nb...

compile nbh file and flash into ppc, when you finish, you can see you freferred splash screens!!

--> you must re-flash you mobile! You won't loose anything because you just flash a new splash!

[Huawei MediaPad M2] sparegname5:
I saw a post SOMEWHERE (can't seem to find it again), I'm sure it was on XDA.. just after I got this tablet and it said that there was an issue with the Kirin SoC not being able to use external cameras. I want to be able to use an endoscope or webcam on my nice fast machine with its decent screen and thought that this tablet would be a lot better than my old Xenon 80c (which I bricked trying to get rid of a trojan - but that's another thread).

My Mediapad is the M2-801L, unlocked, rooted, Android 5.1.1, EMUI 3.1, 3CToolbox Pro, TWRP, SuperSU, Busybox, SELinux switch etc and a few other bits. I have tried all the usual webcam software that was good with my other tablets/phones but none of it will work, due to whatever problem the Kirin has with UVC BUT I can see live video with my FLIR One thermal imager that also has a visible-light camera

Now I'm not incredibly Android literate - I can mess about with permissions and stuff and do some ADB things when it's well explained but I don't understand the FLIR SDK or Android Studio well enough to work things out for myself. I was wondering if anyone had any pointers?

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ast233:
I have just received the unlocked S9+ from Samsung today. I noticed that it does not have any FM app so I downloaded the NextRadio app. However, when I launched the app, it does not detect any FM chip and can only stream. I am under the impression that all new Samsung phone from 2018 onward will have a FM chip (saw it in multiple articles). Has anyone activated the FM function yet? I know the both the S8 and S8+ have native FM chip.

Hello,

I wanted to let you know that Samsung has confirmed that the unlocked S9 and S9+ are not FM-enabled, and that this will be corrected in the next system update. At this time, they are not able to provide a date for this fix.

Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the inconvenience!

S9 Exynos here.

Second full day (after a half day when I got it) and it's been pretty horrible. I expected it to be average or not great for the first couple days, but this is nuts.

I've got everything on - location, sync, AOD, Bixby, etc - and am losing about 5% per hour with the screen off. Ending the day on 15% with only an hour or two of SOT.

Will be keeping a spreadsheet log of it, including what services are on and how I've used it, so will report back. Hope it improves naturally with everything on though. Reception is also surprisingly average; in the bathroom at work my Pixel 1 had decent enough reception to load videos, but my S9 seems to struggle to even load images. Pixel 1 had 3G in an underground pub, but my S9 couldn't get any data at all.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pitbull09:
Sure i have also 5h SOT (with 2 h playing a game currently) but turning off things shouldn't be the solution to get SOT times still worse than the s8.

The bad thing is most reviews are aware of the bad battery Times but still gave a high rating. So samsung will not fix this as fast as we want as the first reviews are rewarding them.

This should be a high priority issue.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] joyj112:
Standby time on my phone has been amazing. Actually from 100% -90%, my battery drains like crazy, but after that it steadies out. I forgot to charge my phone last night with 72%, woke up with 70% and now still going strong. I think I can last another day with this phone. Yeah yeah I only have like one hour and 30min of SOT as of right now, but when I use my.phone through heavy usage I usually can get 5 hrs or even 5hrs and a half. Here's my small tip on how to save battery life:

1. Power saving mode on: CPU limiter off / decrease brightness 10% /AOD off / FHD

2. Battery saving on location settings

3. Make sure data is off when using wifi (developer setting)

4. Delete or disable bloatware

5. Use BetterBatteryStats to check and make sure you have no wakelocks (had some before and with a reboot it fixed all my problems)

6. Make sure your phone settles in. Give it at least a week

7. Go to the battery setting and click on certain apps and disable background activity so that it doesn't trigger any warlock (this will disable notification so beware)

8. For people who use Facebook,delete it. Go to chrome (or brave, which is better) and sign into to your Facebook account and add the website to your homescreen. Honestly it's a lot smoother and you will still receive notifications.

And yeah that's about it for my battery saving tips. Battery will vary depending on your usage so dont depend too much on this idea.
