Don't want to reset my phone :crying:....there's an s9 here too and it has access to galaxy apps but the s9+ has this issue

Hey. The solution was not found? Too I can not solve a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] avarec1986:
Our technical experts recommend that you do the following:

In the settings of your mobile device, find the optimization - memory - Root - delete the folder 'go_to_andromeda.test'.

Our experts said that after following the above recommendations, you will be able to enter the Samsung Galaxy Apps.

Force stop "Galaxy Apps" ( OR Settings > Device care > [Optimise now] )

"care" (in Pie) is "maintenance" (in Oreo)

Whenever I try to seek/scrub in Google Play Music it just restarts the track. Doesn't happen on my other phone. Seems like some OnePlus owners were having this issue as well but it was fixed.. Any ideas?
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] SniperHawk:
I'm having no issues with that and haven't in the past, have you tried updating the app?
[Razer Phone Questions & Answers] comady25:
Well this is weird. I uninstalled updates through Settings, and seek works perfectly. As soon as I update the app though, the issue returns.

EDIT: Just worked it out. The issue seems to be with downloaded tracks. Streamed music seeks perfectly, but downloaded music has the issue. Guessing this isn't razer phone exclusive now.

EDIT 2: Well I was wrong about that too I guess. Ever since downloading tracks seek seems to have broken on all tracks irrespective of whether they had been downloaded. The problem is not fixed by resetting data either. I have no clue.

EDIT 3: Now nothing I do fixes the issue, including uninstalling updates.

EDIT 4: And now seek is magically working again?

EDIT 5: And it's broken.

FINAL EDIT: I seem to have worked it out. The issue is that Google Play Music by default has auto-downloading of tracks. Whenever I went to listen to a song to test, it would auto-download it either before or during the test, causing seek to break. Turning it off makes seek work, but downloaded tracks seem totally broken for some reason.

Unable to use dialer with two sims

Hi i am using the exynos version of the galaxy s9 plus. I am unable to use the google dialer for my second sim. The dialer doesnt show two call buttons for two differnt sims. Please help

Thanks for this thread. I am loving the google experience on my s9plus. Althiugh i am using the nova launcher instead of the pixel launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] meyerweb:
To each his own, but Nova is for me (and many, many others) a far better launcher than Google's, and Swiftkey has the best prediction engine by far. And all the Samsung apps can be easily themed dark, unlike Google's versions which insist on being blindingly white.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Claghorn:
For me, the lack of wireless charging is what made me pick the Samsung over the pixel. I love just having the charging puck to set the phone on.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] ion1s:
Then, why you need to slow the phone with stupid launchers?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] snake2332:
The omission of wireless charging was hugely disappointing when Google announced the Pixel 2 (and when they announced the first Pixel, for that matter). Many of us have been wirelessly charging for 5+ years. Even mediocre cars are coming with wireless charging pads in them. Google surely would have sold many more Pixel phones had they included Qi, as there are plenty of Samsung owners like me who don't really WANT a Samsung, we just want the best hardware and keep ending up with a Samsung device.

I have no clue what ion1s is going on about. He asks why you would slow down the phone with stupid launchers... pretty sure the answer is obvious (Nova is 100x better than TouchWiz, for one). I honestly feel sorry for people that use a Galaxy with the default launcher and default 4x4 grid homescreen layout. Like, wow your 6.2" screen has a whole 8 icons you can put on your homescreen since the clock takes up 4x2. And the dock + dots take up the entire bottom 1/3rd of the screen. Pathetic. These 2:1 ratio screens are perfect for a 7x5 desktop grid with 7 dock icons. That's 42 usable areas of the homescreen (with half increments too) compared to the anemic 16 with TouchWiz (no half increments, and can you choose 4x5 or higher in TouchWiz now? I honestly haven't used TouchWiz on any of my dozen Samsung devices ever, especially since my first Samsung was the Galaxy Nexus). Default TouchWiz homescreen is like those universal remote controls or calculators with HUGE buttons - great for old people that have terrible vision, useless for everyone else...yet people keep their default launcher, default icons, default wallpaper, default ringtone, etc. I see it all the time, even people my age in their 30's that are seemingly good with technology....their phone will ring and it's the default Verizon ring-tone and default everything on their phone...these people should just get an iPhone since they don't even know options or settings exist on their device.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nomedias:
It is a fair question. If I were looking at S9 Plus vs Pixel 2 XL, I may have gotten the XL. However I determined I didn't want a phone any bigger than the Nexus 5X I had at the time. Others have stated other reasons that also matter to me (wireless charging, camera). S9 also has a bigger battery and an SD card slot. But my biggest reason was the S9 has a 5.8" screen versus the 5.0" of the Pixel 2, while being marginally larger than the pixel but still smaller than the Nexus 5X.

I can live with having to strip out the Samsung bloat and waiting a little longer for android updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tel864:
LOL, I actually looked at TouchWiz for all of 10 seconds when I received the phone just to see if anything had changed. Amazingly, on what I noticed in that short time, Samsung has managed to keep the same crappy launcher seemingly unchanged since I first used it years ago. Like you, I'm amazed that anyone actually uses it considering it's lack of any features.

Whoops wrong thread
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] clem_ita:
Hi, just to contribute about the discussion "why didn't you but a Pixel in the first place?".... I'm a big fan of pure stock Android and Google experience, but I just got an S9 because it's very popular over here, so I was able to find it at a very very good price from my carrier.

At some point I'll just flash a custom rom such as LOS, but for the time being I'd like to keep my warranty and just installing key apps.

Hi, thanks for these tips. May I ask you a bit more info about the dialer APK link you posted? Does it have any mod, or is it similar the the one available on apkmirror? Did you made it or just repost something which was already available?

I haven't. I didn't get the one posted here but I do use the same version and have used that version for my Honor 8 and now my S9.

Thanks for your response. Now that I know it's possible to work as it should I'll keep digging into things to see if I can get this right.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] jaap2012:
Hi,

I ´m coming from a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (SM-T810) which I rooted and I had a custom Rom running.

I have the TAB S3 (SM-T820) now since a week, but I don't want to root it yet with Odin and TWRP.

Does anybody have experience with Kingroot, Kingoroot or other rooting methods that won't trip Knox?

The S3 has the January 2018 security patch level.

Thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] kbroh:
Rooted S3 Tab T820

I have T820 Version.

Kingoroot does not work (tried it).

King root did not work (tried it)

Oneroot has reported issues (since if it doesnt work, your stuck until their support team tries to debug)

Best way and easiest is to ODIN flash TWRP, flash SU, flash no force enc modified bootloader. Worked like a charm. I went back to stock and knox was not tripped (somehow).

Currently rooted with bloatware removed and kernel tweaks for battery. This tablet is night and day different than stock. NO LAG, 1% battery loss per hour on standby. Very snappy. Totally worth it in my opinion....

could you share the link to all the tweaks?

I requested an specific forum extension for users (like me) who also have the Huawei Mate SE version in the US. In the meantime, we can use this thread to discuss specifics for this version.

Another Mate SE user posted this in the Oreo Beta thread. It seems there will be a also a FUT trial beta for Mate SE.

[MENTION=553283]mobstaj[/MENTION] Can you please post in this Mate SE specific thread if you get any reply from huawei folks?. Thanks again.

[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Clown:
Yes, I'm also on the same build with my mate SE.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] jonalowe:
Thanks guys. I was wondering since the B101 build is "old" for some of the 7x's. I did notice though that the security patch is current as of Jan 2018.

Would be interesting to find out why in the US the 7x with 4gb/64gb is called the Mate SE, and in rest of world it is a version of the 7x. Seems like a weird marketing strategy. And the Honor guy on this forum can't/won't answer questions about the SE. You'd think that the Huawai/Honor staffing would be combined in the US.

Just wish we had some idea of when we might get a beta of Oreo.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] mobstaj:
Well, when I originally asked them about the Huawei Mate SE oreo update they responded within 30 minutes. Haven't got a response back since I sent them the followup for more details. Will let you know if I get more details.

So uh... I kind of bricked my Mate SE. And there currently doesn't seem to be any stock boot images or firmware around anywhere. Does anyone happen to have either of those two? Or does anyone know when the stock firmware will be available for download?
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Clown:
Huawei hasn't released the firmware yet. There is no indication so far of when this will happen.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] XandeR180:
In that case, would you or anyone else happen to have a clean dump that I could use? I know I should have waited till official firmware has been released but I was really eager to root it and whatnot. Ended up flashing something I shouldn't have and now I can't boot.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Clown:
I don't and we are all waiting for either the stock images and/or oreo beta.
[Honor 7X  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Clown:
In case you are wondering about rooting your Mate SE, someone already confirmed the same process for the international Honor 7x works with the Mate SE.

Has someone captured the OTA for the international or US 7x oreo Beta and attempt to flash it on the Mate SE. If the root process is the same as international hopefully it can take the OTA from the international too.

Not yet, I was part of the beta testers for the US 7x but didn't get the update as of yesterday. I returned the phone yesterday and kept the huawei mate se instead.

This is very weird, i just uninstalled and re-installed and didn't get the issue. So pretty much the BK disabler, then i download the BK plugin 2, and works just fine, I enable the permissions and good to go!

Also just to clarify I am using the "BK Package Disabler (Samsung) by wakasoftware and it is on version 2.4.2

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Xperience Z:
Maybe a difference between exynos and snapdragon?

Which one have you got?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] darksidesh007:
I have the Sprint S9+ so it is the Snapdragon version. I had to do a factory reset a couple of times to activate my S9+. Using the Samsung transfer with the cable plugged into both devices caused the S9+ activation to fail so after another factory reset I reinstalled via Google cloud and Samsung cloud. Not sure if it was a related to being a S8+ Oreo beta tester or not. Never had root on the device. I am using the "BK Package Disabler (Samsung) by wakasoftware version 2.4.2, and the BK plugin 2 is by MobizSystems version 1.1.5.

WORKING: Anyway, I was able to install BK Package Disabler (Samsung) by doing the "owner" steps shown when the BK Disabler failed, and BK Disabler is WORKING. However on my lockscreen I have a "This device is managed by your Organization" message. BK is working, but i dislike the lockscreen message. I discovered that I cannot backup/restore my system from either Google Cloud or Samsung Cloud....Have not tried another factory reset.

I also tried a different disabler called "Package Disabler Pro (Samsung)" as an alternative and it too failed.

I think the issue is the Snapdaragon variant is causing the activation error on any of these disablers. Has anyone tried to reach out to the app owner to see if they know about this?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] HighMans:
Snapdragon.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] darksidesh007:
If we cannot disable, maybe we can uninstall. Yes I know we dont have root, but maybe this would work as an alternative: https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/.

But its laborious

I just used package disabler pro. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdp.singleplay
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] darksidesh007:
I agree. I don't want to go this route, but may be an alternative. I had emailed the app owners to make them aware. I believe the activation failure has to do with the Snapdragon processor.

What processor do you have? Snapdragon is U.S., and non-U.S. has the Exynos.

Everyone - if you are having the activation problem, what processor are you on?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] darksidesh007:
I bought is, and I can confirm it does work on the Snapdragon version of the S9+. Only sucks that I had bought the other 2 disabler apps mentioned in this string earlier did not work.

Not sure the .XML file mentioned in the initial post can be imported .

I've used the "S8 Delboat Bloatware Thread" on the T-mobile S9. It worked. This method doesn't uninstall officially but it removes them for USER 0. I didn't need to download a app to remove bloatware. I still got the tmobile update. So it's fine for me.

I have the same problem. It's a bit of an eyesore. Anyone know of a fix?

3. go-to settings -> security and location -> device admin apps, open it and post a screen shot?

4. Take Admin rights from PackageDisabler after removing the Bloatware
